After returning to the Eastern Palace, Li Erda held a banquet.
After welcoming Li Chuan to his fill, Li Er left Li Chuan alone.
Li Chuan looked at Li Er, who had a gloomy expression on his face. He had a rough idea of what Li Er was trying to do. However, since Li Er refused to say, he would not take the initiative to ask.
He just needed to wait for the other party to show their cards.
After a long time, Li Er smiled and shook his head."Mister is really as steady as Mount Tai.”
"Your Highness, are you worried?"
Li Chuan put down the wine glass and smiled.
Li Er didn't say anything, but he nodded heavily.
Li Chuan suddenly understood. It was already the first day of the seventh month of the ninth year of Wude. In history, Li Er ascended the throne on the ninth day of the eighth month.
From the looks of it, he was probably coveting the throne. However, he was a person who cherished his reputation very much. Because of the change in the Black Tortoise Sect, he had already left a bad reputation, so...
Now, this guy was obviously trying to get his approval. In other words, he wanted to be a whore and build a memorial archway at the same time…
But he thought about it, and the enemy was right in front of him. The Turks would soon invade, and before that, Li Er's ascension to the throne would be the best solution. Otherwise, there might be more changes.
Therefore, he thought about it and could only cooperate reluctantly.
"Now that Your Highness's power has been established, the civil and military officials of the court are loyal, and the people of the world are looking forward to it. The civil and military officials who followed His Highness all hoped that His Highness could improve further. In this way, they would all be subjects of the dragon and could also improve further.”
"But Your Highness is kind and loyal. Your Majesty is the ruler, Your Highness is the subject, Your Majesty is the father, and Your Highness is the son. If Your Majesty is unwilling to learn from the abdication of Yao and Shun, how can Your Highness bear the name of eternal life?”
"Is this what Your Highness is worried about now?”
"Mister is this king's bosom friend and has won my heart. I, Li Shi Min, will never be a person who betrays the king and his father.”Hearing this, Li Er immediately said with a firm tone.
"Your Highness is loyal and kind, but Your Highness should also think about the people below.”Li Chuan couldn't help but feel his face twitch, and then he said with a double meaning.
Yes, honest and thick-skinned…
"This is also what this king is worried about. I'm afraid that it will chill the hearts of all the ministers!”Li Er was worried and sighed.
Li Chuan obediently shut his mouth and looked calm as if he hadn't heard Li Er's words at all.
He felt that it was enough…
He wanted the throne, and he also wanted fame. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
But if he didn't speak, how could Li Er let him off so easily? Why did she leave him alone?
"Please enlighten me, Mister?" Li Er looked at the calm Li Chuan and said sincerely.
Li Chuan immediately felt his scalp go numb. Did he really think he was an omnipotent god?
This guy had already taken over the entire world. After the incident at the Xuanwu Sect, Li Yuan had become a caged bird, and his power had fallen to others.
You want him to abdicate? Would he dare not abdicate?
If he really couldn't do it, he could ask the civil and military officials to remonstrate. No matter how thick-skinned Li Yuan was, when he saw that the situation had gone, could he still shamelessly continue to sit on the throne?
"Does Your Highness want a reputation of loyalty and filial piety?”
Li Chuan had no choice but to say.
Originally, he did not want to get involved in these dirty matters of the royal family. After all, the more he knew, the more dangerous it would be, especially the dirty matters of the emperor. If he could not know, he must not know.
Otherwise, it was hard to guarantee that in the future, what was wrong with this guy? In order to protect his reputation, he would kill people to silence them!
However, Li Er's attitude was already so low. If he still did not speak, then he would be a little ignorant.
After all, he still had to follow this Act Tough King in the future, so he still had to help.
"Please grant my wish, Mister."
Li Er's eyes lit up. It was not that he had no way to force his father to abdicate, but he wanted to hear if Li Chuan had a better way.
Whether it was military or civil remonstrance, it was hard to guarantee that it would not fall into the mouths of others.
Li Chuan stood up and came to Li Er's document."Lend me the calligraphy of Your Highness."
Li Chuan picked up a piece of white paper and a brush from Li Er's document and started writing smoothly.
Soon, after he finished writing, he handed the paper full of words to Li Er.
Li Er started reading and praised the word 'good' first.
Then, he frowned and looked puzzled.
Although he didn't know medicine, he could tell that Li Chuan's paper was filled with the names of medicinal herbs.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Li Er looked at Li Chuan and asked in confusion.
"His Majesty has been working hard for the country all day long. His body is weak and he is plagued with a serious illness. Please treat His Majesty with this prescription.”
Li Chuan stood calmly in front of Li Er and said with a smile.
"Poison?" Li Er's hand trembled. He looked at Li Chuan with an ugly expression and asked.
Li Chuan's face twitched. Who did he think he was?
"Your Majesty will be bedridden after taking this medicine. Your Highness, please lead all the civil and military officials to guard Your Majesty these days. As a son, Your Highness should take care of Your Majesty's daily life day and night. I believe that Your Highness 'sincerity will definitely move the heavens…"
Then, he shook his head and said to Li Er with a serious expression.
Li Er frowned at first and carefully thought about the meaning behind Li Chuan's words. Then, his eyes lit up as he looked at Li Chuan meaningfully and said,"Thank you for your trouble, sir. If father is bedridden, I will definitely lead all the civil and military officials to Taiji Palace to serve the emperor.”
At this point, this matter was temporarily resolved.
However, it was just an act.
"Right now, the people of the Great Tang are unstable, and Your Highness holds great power. The Turkic Jie Li Khagan is ambitious and capricious, so Your Highness should have made plans long ago.”
Li Chuan reminded him again. Since he had come here, he did not want the humiliation of China to happen again.
The last time he reminded him, he was a humble person, so Li Er obviously didn't take it to heart.
Li Er frowned and looked at Li Chuan seriously."Mister has reminded this king twice. I wonder if Mister has any basis?”
Li Chuan's face instantly fell. He was speechless and began to think in his heart.
History had recorded that the Eastern Turks had arrived in Chang 'an in the eighth month, but it was already the seventh month. He had reason to believe that the Turks had made some unusual moves, and as long as he paid attention, he would be able to find some clues.
Li Er also saw Li Chuan's expression and immediately explained,"Sir, please forgive me. After all, mobilizing an army to protect the capital requires a specific reason. Otherwise, those who know will think that this king is guarding against the Turks, while those who don't will think that this king is rebelling and preparing to bathe capital in blood.”
