Chapter 524 Discuss countermeasures and support Li Zhi
"I have a fifth brother... I will definitely protect me." Li Zhi looked at Changsun Wuji with some fear and retorted.
"Why do you always rely on others? Shouldn't you become stronger yourself...?" Changsun Wuji shouted again.
"Uncle...what is wrong? He is so angry. Although Zhinu is a little gentle, he is kind and filial..." Li You slightly blocked Li Zhi.
"You'er... I know he is kind and filial. If he is not kind and filial, I wouldn't come here to tell him this today. You should know that Li Tai is already ready to move. Let's tell you the truth. Cen Wenben, Liu Shi has suggested to His Majesty that the position of crown prince should be inherited by the King of Wei.
Your Majesty has already moved... The problem is that if the King of Wei takes up the position of crown prince, according to his ruthlessness, the slaughter and you will be thorns in his side, and even me will be replaced by him. If the King of Wei becomes the emperor in the end, I can guarantee that all the princes will die."
Changsun Wuji's words made Li You frown slightly.
To be honest, Changsun Wuji is right. If Li Tai becomes emperor, all his brothers should not survive. Why do you say that? Because Li Tai is suspected of seizing the position of crown prince from beginning to end.
What we can see is that although Li Chengqian is dead, the confrontation between Li Tai and Li Chengqian is, to be honest, surprisingly similar to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. In Li You's opinion, Li Chengqian is like Li Jiancheng and is relatively stupid. Li Tai is like Li Shimin, smart and capable. Li Tai seriously threatens Li Chengqian's position as crown prince, forcing Li Chengqian to do a lot of ridiculous things.
Li Shimin won the throne with his second child through the Xuanwu Gate coup.
This is disgraceful, so Li Shimin actually very much defends the eldest son system. Li Shimin realized that the eldest son system or the fundamental system of the imperial society is an unswerving system.
Once this system is destroyed, killing will continue to happen. Therefore, even if Li Chengqian is not a good weapon, Li Shimin must always maintain his position as the prince. In the end, there is no way out, so he has to depose Li Chengqian.
But if the throne was obtained by Li Tai and Li Shimin died again, Li Tai, who looked so similar to Li Shimin at this time, would never spare Li Chengqian's sons. He would have to cut the roots.
Apart from his Li Chengqian's roots, then the answer is obvious, which is the other brothers.
"But uncle...the King of Wei is unstoppable now...the father agrees with the ministers, Cen Wenben, Liu Shi and even Fang Xiang. His second son has always been a core member of the King of Wei Party.
What can we do?" Li You looked at Changsun Wuji with helpless expression.
Li You said the truth, then Changsun Wuji slowed down and said, "Sit down..."
When he heard Changsun Wuji let him sit down, Li You and Li Zhi also sat down. After that, Changsun Wuji said, "Actually, Your Majesty still cares about Zhinu. The last time he learned that Li Tai threatened Zhinu, Your Majesty gave you a Tiger Guard...!"
"Uncle, let alone this Hu Ben Guard, that's a pit. The father didn't give us the soldiers at all, but asked us to recruit ourselves. We couldn't recruit soldiers at all. What's this called? If I had known, I wouldn't have the title of General Hu Ben." Li Zhi complained in a low voice.
"Don't give you soldiers," Changsun Wuji scolded again: "If you don't give your troops, it's your Majesty's intention to you. Your Majesty already wants Li Tai to become the crown prince. In the future, Your Majesty will be gone, and Li Tai will be the emperor.
The soldiers in the world are all in the hands of the emperor. Think about it, by that time, the Hu Ben Guard will still listen to you?
Your Majesty will not give you troops to your house, but let you recruit and pay your own military salary. This is to make the Hu Ben Guard only loyal to you two. At the critical moment, he will protect you.
You are still complaining there, and you really don’t know how to understand Your Majesty’s compassion.”
"Hiss..." At this time, Li You instantly understood Li Shimin's intention to do all this. This was not Li Shimin deliberately making things difficult for Li You and Li Zhi, but rather a way to protect Li You and Li Zhi.
The sixteen guards of Chang'an are all soldiers of the government. You should know that the soldiers of the government do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. When the war occurs, the court will send other generals to gather soldiers from various places to fight. This will greatly promote centralization and prevent the generals from having the opportunity to rebel.
If Li You and Li Zhi's Hu Ben Guard were also soldiers of the palace, then the title of general of Li You and Li Zhi would be empty. If Li Tai came to power, with the emperor's majesty, the Hu Ben Guard would turn against him.
Therefore, Li Shimin specially asked Li You and Li Zhi to recruit themselves, and the military pay and equipment were paid by themselves, and the court could not pay a penny, so this army would only belong to Li You and Li Zhi.
When encountering certain crises, this Hu Ben Guard can be used to save Li You and Li Zhi.
"So that's how it is..." Li You was slightly moved: "The father is really good at it."
"You know... Your Majesty is actually guarding against Li Tai. His Majesty's throne and wherever he comes from. We all know that this incident is a very psychological shock to His Majesty who is alive.
If he had to do it again, he would definitely not want such a thing to happen.
Originally, His Majesty thought this unbearable thing had passed. But what His Majesty did not expect was that this happened to his Li Tai again.
Li Tai had fought with Cheng Qian in the past, but now Li Tai began to intimidate Zhinu again.
This feeling was like revealing His Majesty's scars. The pain that had been covered up had once again returned to His Majesty's body.
But Your Majesty has not found a more suitable candidate than Li Tai. Originally, You'er, you are a good candidate, but unfortunately, you are not a legitimate child...!" After saying that, Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly: "Zhinu is too cowardly, and his personality is completely incompatible with Your Majesty, so although Your Majesty is doting, he cannot give hope.
What we need to do now is to make Zhinu come forward quickly in front of His Majesty, let Zhinu's glory be seen by His Majesty, and not let His Majesty blindly see Li Tai.
If we only see Li Tai, we will really have no chance."
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li You knew it was dead. Why did Changsun Wuji scold Li Zhi directly as soon as he came? This is a pity that he was not strong enough.
"What method should be used to attract the attention of the father's emperor to Zi Nu?" Li You frowned deeply.
