Chapter 30 Breaking the Game
Originally, Li Zhi planned to slow down, but Chu Suiliang's attitude today forced him to Liangshan.
When the prime minister’s remonstrance is a huge matter in any dynasty.
If you compromise, does that mean that there will be any differences in the future and the ministers will come to force each other to death?
Li Zhi was originally cold and ignored life and death. He didn't like Chu Suiliang and Changsun Wuji to form cliques. Now he was forced to him in public and could not get out of the way, so he simply broke the enemy.
Take the opportunity to settle the matter today.
Chu Suiliang is about to die, so he will do whatever he wants.
Faced with Li Zhi's questioning, Changsun Wuji still spoke nonsense, just like a Bodhisattva.
Han Yuan was undecided and secretly peeped at the situation. He was standing with Chu Suiliang. He wanted to speak for Chu Suiliang, but he lacked the fearless courage of the other party, and he could not move forward or retreat. He could only worry about himself.
Li Yuanai did not stand up, but looked at Li Ji opposite him.
At this time, it would be unreasonable that he still had to remain neutral.
Sure enough, Li Ji, who had been seldom speaking, made a statement at this moment: "Your Majesty's family affairs should be decided by Your Majesty himself. As an outsider, how dare the old minister speak more?"
A simple sentence shows your attitude.
His words seemed to be reluctant, but they all had a secret support.
Changsun Wuji Yu Guang glanced at Li Ji slightly and said in his heart, "Sure enough."
Although there was no evidence, he still vaguely realized that Li Ji's existence was specially left to him by his brother-in-law.
As expected, he has always been neutral and stood up to express his support at this time.
Behind Li Ji was the Tang military power, and his support was of great significance.
Seeing Li Ji stand up, Li Yuanai also said, "The emperor's bloodline is the most important. The prince's biological mother is a native of Liu Gong after all, not a parent-child of the queen. The relationship is complicated and there will be chaos for a long time. There are no outsiders here. The weak minister dares to say something about the crown prince. The queen has no son, so it is natural for the prince to choose the crown prince. Since there is no legitimate, we should choose a virtuous person. How can the queen be regarded as adopted son and then regarded as a legitimate son?"
Compared to Li Ji's position, Li Yuanai's words were a bit shocking, and he directly led to the deposed crown prince.
But I have to say that his words hit the nail on the head.
Queen Wang seems innocent, but it is a great sin to choose to adopt Li Zhong for her mother's sake.
It is impossible for Queen Wang to know what her choice means?
As the queen, her choice was equivalent to helping Li Zhi choose the crown prince, while Li Zhong's talent and ability were extremely mediocre, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was stupid. He only chose him because he was the eldest son of a concubine and was born to a palace maid with no status, and could easily control it.
This prince is the foundation of a dynasty's future, and his ability and virtue are directly related to whether the country is prosperous.
Empress Wang and Liu Shi's move was to exchange the future of the Tang Dynasty for the future of their family.
Li Yuanai looked solemn.
Others may not be able to say this, but Li Yuanai has this qualification. He is not only the prime minister of the dynasty, but also Li Zhi's uncle.
As the queen, Prince No Prince is too fatal. Anyone who has a son, even if he is stupid, cannot discuss this way.
This also came to Li Zhi's heart. He didn't have many children and was weak since childhood. He was not a long life. On the one hand, he emphasized health preservation, never indulged in lust, and was not obsessed with women. He attached great importance to the choice of the future crown prince.
The eldest son of the concubine, Li Zhong, was timid and honest, and without any sign of an emperor, how could he be worthy of the monarch of the Tang Dynasty?
Among the sects, he valued the most the fourth son Li Sujie, who was smart and agile and very studious. When he was young, he could recite more than a thousand ancient poems every day. This is why he especially favored Li Sujie's mother Xiao Shufei.
Everyone in the world thinks that Li Zhi is fascinated by Concubine Xiao Shu's beauty and favors him alone, but in fact he is only for the young genius Li Sujie.
But Concubine Xiao is too inferior and is no match for Queen Wang at all.
In history, Li Zhi was unwilling to waste his time, so he hit it off with Wu Zetian, broke through the harem, strangled Changsun Wuji and Liu Shi's alliance of relatives, and successfully ruled.
The situation is changing now. Influenced by Li Yuanai, Li Zhi did not hook up with Wu Zetian. This also led to the inability of Concubine Xiao Shu, but because of Li Sujie, he was the only choice for the queen.
Li Ji's position and Li Yuanai's slap in seven inches set the tone of things.
In the face of Chu Suiliang's forced, Li Zhi took out his determination to overturn the table. With Li Ji and Li Yuanai's escort, even Changsun Wuji could only give in and acknowledge this matter.
The abolition of the queen has become a foregone conclusion.
It was also because Li Zhi chose the queen as Xiao Shufei, and the resistance of all officials was far lower than that in history.
Concubine Xiao was just lacking in virtue, while Wu Zetian was a concubine at that time and did not have the qualifications.
How noble is the queen? Female as her husband, few civil servants in the temple accepted it.
Concubine Xiao Shu was very convinced that she was a prominent family in Lanling, and her life experience was beyond reproach. Li Sujie's talent really brought back a lot of points to his rather arrogant mother.
Therefore, the response in the temple is far less intense than that in history, and it has become a foregone conclusion.
In the first moment before the silkworm ceremony was about to arrive, Li Zhi abolished Queen Wang for the sake of no descendants.
Although Concubine Xiao Shu was not officially enthroned, she also replaced her and presided over the silkworm ceremony.
Li Yuanai also heard that Concubine Xiao was proud and showed off her waves in front of the deposed queen Wang. At the same time, in order to show her mind, she deliberately disgusted with Wang and ordered people to treat Concubine Shu to the Wang family imprisoned in other courtyards, showing her successful style.
But one thing is to say, compared to Wu Zetian's killing and killing others, the life after Wang's deposed was not bad.
In May of the same year, Li Zhi ordered Concubine Xiao Shu to be appointed as the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Zhong also resigned from the position of crown prince with the hint of his subordinates. After all, Li Sujie naturally became the legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty for the promotion of Concubine Xiao Shu.
With the legitimate son there, Li Zhongshu's eldest son's position is naturally untenable.
Li Zhi followed the situation and surrendered to the King of Liang and was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou. He specially granted two thousand households a fief, two thousand pieces of five-color silk, and the first luxurious house, which made him a vassal of Liangzhou.
Everything goes with the flow.
Seeing that everything went smoothly, Li Yuanai breathed a sigh of relief. After Chu Suiliang's forced, Li Zhi walked out of a great way.
For Chu Suiliang and Li Zhi, the kind-hearted emperor, was very happy to counterattack.
After being surrendered to Li Zhong, he ordered him to be moved to the governor of Tanzhou.
At that time, he respects the right and is humbled by the left. This left move means to demote the official, but it just sounds nice.
This time, Changsun Wuji still did not stand up and speak out.
Liu Shi and Chu Suiliang's withdrawal from the temple resulted in two additional phase vacancies in the court.
People at that time thought that Liu Wei would be one of them and the best candidate for Zhongshuling.
But Li Zhi made an unexpected decision, appointing Lai Ji as the Secretary of the Central Committee to fill the position of Liu Shi, while Li Zhi handed over the vacancy left by Chu Suiliang to Xu Jingzong.
