"Little brother."
"Today, I will give you a great fortune. It will depend on whether you are bold enough or not. As the saying goes, the bolder a person is, the more fertile the land is.”
Humph!
His wife had just read out a sentence when the Emperor heard it and sneered,""With the green sparrow's smart personality, she will definitely see through it with a glance like I am now and reveal disdain!”
The Emperor bluntly commented that his son's methods were too obviously clumsy.
Zhangsun Wugou smiled and reminded,""Second Brother, the purpose of provoking is to change the mentality of the person being provoked. Even as a bystander, you have felt contempt. Your emotions and mentality have been changed. With Green Sparrow's pride and unyielding personality, I'm afraid it's even more so than you are now.”
"Ke 'er's goal has been achieved.”
The Emperor was stunned when he heard this. Thinking about it carefully, it was really so.
She felt a little awkward.
How could Zhangsun Wugou not know what his husband was thinking? He pursed his lips into a smile and continued reading.
"The incident that happened at Xuanwu Sect eleven years ago, it's hard to say who was right or wrong.”
"The facts have proven that our emperor and two uncles attacked at the same time. You and I were still young at that time, but the scene of the Crown Prince Guards leading the attack on King Qin's residence is still fresh in our minds.”
Celestial Emperor and Empress 'expressions became solemn.
This matter was taboo. No one expected that their juniors would discuss this matter behind their backs.
In the past eleven years, it seemed that everything had passed, but everyone knew that some things had not.
" Both sides are ready to attack and ready to kill each other. It's just a matter of whether the east wind will prevail over the west wind or the west wind will prevail over the east wind.”
"Of course, our father won in the end.”
"Thus, you and I became rich and powerful, while the Crown Prince's Residence and the Qi King's Residence were purged. The womenfolk of both sides were all moved into the Imperial Palace by our Emperor.”
"Outsiders say that our father is as good as my wife. As a son and as a brother, I'm never good at judging others with the greatest malice, especially our emperor.”
" Hmm..." The Empress paused for a moment.
Li Shi Min's face darkened and he said in an unfriendly tone,"Yes, he knows his limits. It's too presumptuous to judge his father by his son!”
"Second brother, it wasn't me." Zhangsun Wugou smiled and handed over the first page.
The Emperor saw that the first page was finished, and there was a 'hmm' at the end.
" Hmm…Anyway, it's just us brothers discussing in private. Let's assume that the emperor has a wife. Let's make a bold assumption and verify it carefully…"
Giggle...
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but laugh when he read this.
The Emperor's face darkened, and he angrily slammed his hand on the soft couch.""Bastard, those aristocrats outside are all talking about how shameless he is. I think he's right!”
The last sentence was about judging others with the greatest malice. There was no turning point. After a pause of 'mmm,' she began to judge him, her father.
Bastard!
Zhangsun Wugou smiled and continued reading."Even if the emperor is the son of heaven, a true dragon, it's understandable that he has some special hobbies. Although he's our father, after all, a living being like the emperor is still somewhat different from us officials.”
"Then there's a problem. As the emperor, I can't get anything I want. What's the point of having other people's wives? They'll come whenever I want. There will definitely be countless women who are more beautiful than the women in the Crown Prince's Mansion.”
"Why would the emperor do something like stealing his brother's wife?”
“……”
"This elder brother has analyzed this matter thoroughly. At that time, the hidden crown princess was pregnant.”
"Imperial Father brought the womenfolk of the two manors into the palace to protect them, to protect the children of the two uncles?”
"Imperial Father's trusted aides, civil and military officials, followed Imperial Father and risked the destruction of their families to do this.”
"The two uncles died because they didn't die. Back then, Luo Yi of Youzhou and Feng Li of Bingzhou would definitely raise an army and the world would fall into chaos again.”
"The defeated side of the Black Tortoise Sect, whether it's the Emperor or the two uncles, must die in the end. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos.”
"As for the cleansing of the remnants, I'm afraid it's the collective intention of Imperial Father and his old brothers.”
"No one wants them to follow the Emperor and do such a great thing. In the future, the descendants of the two uncles will grow up and take revenge.”
"Even if the Emperor doesn't want to do it, he has to do it. He has to make his old brothers feel at ease.”
"He is the victor, but he cannot disappoint his old brothers. He can only bring the women of the two mansions into the palace. The Emperor is very beautiful, and with the identity of the Emperor's woman, they will be safe.”
"Perhaps only the surviving child in her belly can be saved.”
"Humans are not plants. Before the Li family turned into a country, they were from the same mother and grew up together. They were like brothers. Is the emperor really as ruthless as outsiders say?”
"I thought otherwise. From the first year after Concubine Yang gave birth to Li Ming, the emperor made Li Ming a prince and adopted him to Fourth Uncle.”
"So I think that the Emperor would rather bear the infamy of stealing his brother's wife, but in fact, he just wants to leave some blood for Uncle and Uncle, so that someone can burn incense during the holidays.”
"The emperor can't do such a thing. If he does it, it will make those old brothers who used to follow him feel uneasy.”
"We can only leave it for future generations to do. We can also use this to win over the hearts of the people.”
"Of course, with the most malicious speculations, the Emperor might really be a ruthless person.”
"So this is a huge gamble. If you win, you will gain the gratitude of the hidden crown prince's faction.”
At this point, Zhangsun Wugou's voice stopped.
Sigh!
She sighed softly.
She turned to look at her husband again. His eyes were red and two drops of tears flowed out of his eyes.
She knew very well that for more than ten years, the imperial court had smeared the hidden crown prince and beautified her husband in the fishing boats and history books out of consideration for the legitimacy of their rule.
However, that was the need for governance.
It was something that any qualified monarch had to do. They could not be soft-hearted at all.
Otherwise, the hearts of the people would be in chaos, and the world would be in chaos!
This kind of thing would happen to any regime. This was the need for governance.
And she knew that the evaluation that her husband wanted the most was an impartial one that was both positive and negative.
Just like what Li Ke said in his heart, that coup, to put it bluntly, was the east wind overwhelming the west wind, or the west wind overwhelming the east wind.
Neither side was absolutely right or wrong.
Her husband wanted the world to judge her like this, but the court was in a position to rule the country, so it could not be judged like this.
The world would often sympathize with the loser, and the evaluation that the husband wanted would never appear.
A moment later, the Emperor wiped his eyes and laughed. He scolded with a smile,""A bastard, a son actually pacified me, bastard!”
"Wang De!" Then, the Emperor shouted at the door.
"I'm here." Wang De lowered his head and jogged inside.”
"Pass down the order!"
"You can use the crown prince's carriage when you go out to admire the green sparrow!”
"Li You is now King Qi, and he is the Governor of Youzhou!”
"Li Wanrou shall be conferred the title of Princess Guide. The Zheng family will leave the palace and live in the original King Tang's Mansion!”The original King Tang Residence was the residence of his father, Li Yuan, when he was the King of Tang.
"Second brother, Wanrou's title of princess is a bit too high. It's not a good thing for her.”Zhangsun Wugou reminded.
The Emperor came to a realization. Indeed, it was not a good thing for his niece to have such an honorable title.
"Go do it."
"This old servant obeys the decree!"
After Wang De left, the Emperor said,"Guanyin Maid, please help me walk through the Gate of Eternal Joy."”
"Yes."
The emperor's daily life notes recorded that in the middle of August of the tenth year of Zhenguan, after going to Changle Gate, Zheng's mother and daughter regained their freedom ten years later. That night, the emperor stayed in the ancestral temple all night. The door of the ancestral temple was closed tightly, and only crying and laughter could be heard.
Every move in the palace.
The aristocratic families in Chang 'an City could know if they wanted to.
In Dou Wei's residence.
The aristocrats celebrated their victory at a banquet. Li Ke was finally driven away and chased to a desolate place like Tuyuhun.
At the banquet.
Zhangsun Wuji and a few others quietly left.
"Uncle, the King of Wu, Li Ke, has returned to the vassal state. The Imperial Court is sending someone to deliver the fief. We have always thought that we should send the Minister of War, Li Zhengming.”After everyone sat down, Dou Kang was the first to speak.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Dou Wei, who was sitting beside him. This former leader of the Guanlong clan was sleeping with his eyes closed.
The other youths of Dou Kang's generation had hatred written all over their faces.
Hou Junji, who sat on the left, nodded.
Zhangsun Wuji understood that this was everyone's intention.
As for sending Li Zhengming, to put it bluntly, he wanted Li Ke's life.
Li Zhengming's Guzang Li Clan was located in the Longyou district.
The Li family of Guzang was the leader of the aristocratic families of Longyou.
Li Zhengming would definitely return to Guzang with the collective will of the aristocratic families!
"Yes." Zhangsun Wuji did not object. He was not Li Chengqian, and this was the collective will of the Shi clan.
"Wuji." At this moment, Dou Wei's eyelids twitched and he said,"Did you notice that Zheng Shanguo and the hidden prince faction didn't come tonight?”
"This move of the King of Wei has truly amazed this old man. Once the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to control them. In the future, it will be difficult for you to lead the troops in the court.”
Zhangsun Wuji naturally understood what the old fox meant. He cupped his hands and said,"I will do my best."
However, Zhangsun Wuji wasn't confident that he could really make Li Tai give up.
