Chapter Thirteen: Tiger Fighting Brothers
That night, Pei Min thought about tomorrow and had no intention of sleeping.
He has been in the Tang Dynasty for more than a year and has done a lot of things, but the only thing that really affects the overall situation in the world is Liaodong and Liaoxi. He was also excited for a while. Now he thinks about it but it is not worth showing it. Tomorrow he will no longer be an influence, but a creation. He personally participates in the innate coup and creates a new situation. That feeling is naturally different.
Although a coup means bloody, it is better to be stable than the current political chaos. Therefore, the development of military politics with peace of mind is the real way for the rise of the country. Whether in the present or in the long run, it is imperative.
As for Princess Taiping, Pei Min felt a little regret: From a conscience, Princess Taiping treated him well, but they had different paths from each other. Princess Taiping attached importance to internal power struggles, but Pei Min didn't like this kind of intrigue. He felt that having the energy was better than dealing with Tubo, dealing with the Turks, and finding a far-reaching sacrificial country to teach the country and the people. This is a long-term plan that benefits the country and the people.
Princess Taiping's power schemes are indeed outstanding, but her eyes are limited to this. In comparison, Li Longji is much better than Princess Taiping, especially during the Kaiyuan period, he worked hard to govern and constantly expanded his territory with Wang Zhongsi, Gao Xianzhi and others, which made the Tang Dynasty so powerful. If it weren't for being stupid in his later years, he would have pushed the Tang Dynasty into the abyss like a change of personal experience, Li Longji's name would not be much inferior, not to mention that he could be compared with Li Shimin.
Pei Min had no intention of thinking about what would happen twenty or thirty years later. The Tang Dynasty is currently facing the dilemma of becoming a demon and becoming a Buddha. What he needed is a long-term hero like Li Longji instead of Princess Taiping who specializes in power and internal struggle.
He was thinking in his mind and fell asleep without realizing it: in a daze, he had a dream, dreaming that he had three feet of swordsmanship and rose step by step, becoming the world's famous Bianmaster Sword Saint, which shocked the four barbarians, allowing the Tang Dynasty to reappear in a prosperous world, and then there was nothing!
Pei Min woke up and looked at the dizzy weather outside the window. It seemed that God knew that things were unusual today, and he cast a gray veil on the whole sky, exuding a vast atmosphere.
When he arrived at the kitchen hall, Pei Min found that Xue Na was already sitting in the hall and said with a smile: "Don't you sleep a little longer?" Although Xue Na was strong and healthy, she was still old and drowsy. Usually at this time, he was in his dream.
Xue Ne smiled and said, "I woke up early and was too lazy to sleep. I was ready to eat. Today I attended the first time I attended, so don't miss the hour."
Pei Min responded and ate breakfast calmly. During this period, Xue Na did not say anything, but after Pei Min had enough, he said, "Filial piety, follow the Tao, follow the scriptures of heaven; follow the morality, follow the meaning of the earth. People can lose everything, but they cannot lose some filial piety. You have to make a career in Chang'an, it is time to bring your mother to fulfill your filial piety. I will send someone to Huairou County to pick up your mother, so don't worry."
Pei Min looked at Xue Na gratefully: If things go smoothly today, it is indeed feasible. But no matter what happens in the world, everything goes well? Li Longji's innate coup was forced to the extreme, seeking victory in danger, and doing something with the determination to make a desperate bet. But if you lose your efforts, you will not only die, but also affect your family.
Pei Min had no worries in this era, but only her mother at home. The meaning of Xue Na's speech is clear. If things are successful and the court is stable, Pei's mother can come to Chang'an to enjoy a peaceful life. If it fails, Pei's mother is in his hands and he will settle down separately and will not let her be burdened.
This only worries of Yi were eliminated, and Pei Min was even more energetic and rode Xiaolimao to the imperial city.
The imperial city is divided into inner city and outer city. The outer city is a gathering place for the three provinces and six ministries, and the inner city is a place where the emperor and empress's family live.
With the identity token, Pei Min easily entered the outer city and arrived at the Ministry of War.
Guo Yuanzhen of the Ministry of War was ready to go, just waiting for Pei Min to arrive.
"The court meeting has ended. Follow me to Wude Hall to meet with Your Majesty!"
On April 3, the second year of the Innate Period, regardless of the success or failure of the coup, this day is destined to be the day that was recorded in Shi Ce.
As the Supreme Emperor, Li Dan would accept congratulations from his ministers in the Taiji Hall every five days. Most of the prime ministers in the court were Princess Taiping, and they would wait for Li Dan to discuss all the important matters with Li Dan when he was in the court. As for Li Longji, most of his court meetings were trivial matters, which were not worth mentioning, so the court officials soon dispersed themselves.
Originally, Li Longji was very annoyed about this, but today he was extremely quick and retreated without any hesitation.
When he returned to Wude Hall, the first ones to meet were his brothers: eldest brother Li Chengqi, second brother Li Chengyi, fourth brother Li Longfan, and fifth brother Li Longye.
Youdao is to fight father and son, and fight tiger brothers!
This was originally a nonsense in the royal family. For the sake of imperial power, there were countless cases of fathers, sons and brothers fighting each other. Even Li Shimin, the most outstanding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was still carrying the stain on life of killing brothers, killing brothers, and slaughtering fathers, and criticizing future generations.
Li Longji's five brothers were not like this. During Wu Zetian's rule, in order to stabilize his throne, Wu Zetian purged the Li family's royal family. As long as the son and grandson who blocked her could not escape the harm. At that time, Li Dan was the puppet prince and could not protect himself. Li Longji and his brothers were also imprisoned in the East Palace, dying day and night. The brothers inspired each other and struggled to survive. For nearly ten years, the five brothers accompanied each other day, played and read together, read together; in the hot summer, they waved their fans; in the cold winter, they hugged each other to keep warm. The brothers' affection between them was tempered by time, with brothers and brothers respectful, and they were close to each other as if they were in love.
It is also because of this that after the Tanglong coup, Li Dan wanted to make the eldest son Li Chengqi the crown prince, and Li Chengqi gave up the position of prince to Li Longji. Li Longji was grateful for his brotherhood and specially ordered people to make a bed and quilt that can accommodate five people for the brothers to get up and sleep.
Princess Taiping is directly at the upper hand, but is in a passive reason, which is also here.
Princess Taiping's strength can completely support a prince to suppress Li Longji, and it can make Li Longji so hard that she can't breathe. However, Li Dan gave birth to six sons, and the youngest one was still dead. The other four people and Li Longji were completely ignored Princess Taiping's show of kindness. This is also the most embarrassing thing about Princess Taiping: if she doesn't get the support of the prince, she has no choice even if she wants to establish a puppet.
The mutiny was such a big deal, and the first one Li Longji was to be a few of his brothers, and the first one to respond was his brothers.
"Brother, second, fourth, fifth brother!" Li Longji looked at his flesh and blood brothers, his eyes turned red.
