    Li Er was sitting on the Kowloon chair, with his hands on the two dragon heads that served as armrests. He was tapping the index finger of his right hand, looking very worried. During this period, the Tang Dynasty was in turmoil. Not only was it about to move,  The enemy and the guy who made a mess in Chang'an City also gave him a lot of headaches, but she couldn't hate him because he also knew that after the comfortable life of the past few years, many officials had gradually changed their character.  , but there were too many involved, and Li Er wanted to punish him, but before he could take action, something like this happened, and he suddenly became passive.  ¦æ, what he wants to do most now is to catch this person. What kind of force is this that can clearly understand everything these officials have done?  He was a little scared when he thought about it, but he had to bear it for the time being. As the leader of a country, although Li Er mastered the highest divine weapon of the country, he had some scruples and complicated power entanglements. He had to consider clearly. The Tang Dynasty was  On a scale, it is not easy to maintain a balance between the two parties.  In front of Li Er, a large group of people were kneeling. These people were wearing red and purple. They were all important figures in the court, but they knelt in front of Li Er in fear, in order to gain Li Er's understanding.  , because in the confessions of these recently surrendered officials, they are all people who occupy a place.  After being found out in private, they still had room to turn around, but they couldn't fool around now, because the figures kneeling in front of Suzaku's door shattered all their luck, without any preparation.  , they were charged.  Being able to come to Li Er to plead for mercy is already a great blessing.  How could you ask for more.  All they could do was kneel down and wait for Li Er to fall, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.  Not daring to move at all.  "Xu Qing As one of the eighteen bachelors of Tiance Mansion, you have followed me to make suggestions. After so many years, I have treated you well, so why would I do such a thing? Is your salary not enough? I remember that your family still has  How could two properties take such desperate risks?" Li Er asked, looking at an official in purple robes kneeling below.  Who is this person?  He is Xu Jingzong. Although his character is not very praiseworthy, he is also a man of his own ethics.  To actually do such a thing, this is really beyond Li Er's expectation. As an orthodox scholar, Xu Jingzong has always looked down upon those people who prey on the common people. If his two shops hadn't been for his mother and wife crying in front of him,  For a long time, he wouldn't be able to do it, and would rather starve to death than engage in despicable business affairs.  This is Xu Jingzong's ethics.  But he was betrayed by Cao Yunshan, the Minister of War. In the past two years, Xu Jingzong actually played a disgraceful role in the case of theft of military pay allocated by the Ministry of War.  It was he who proposed replacing old rice with new rice.  "Your Majesty, I deserve to die for my crime, and I will admit death and beheaded, but my youngest son hopes that Your Majesty can spare his life!" Xu Jingzong did not have the slightest excuse.  Because in his belief, this matter was against his moral integrity, but he still did it, even if he had no choice but to do it.  Still unforgettable, even dreaming about it many times at midnight.  I also woke up in a cold sweat.  But he couldn't tell why he did such an unwise thing, because if he told it, the Tang Dynasty would really be in chaos.  "Haha You are all my good ministers. How good! In order to protect that little bastard, he is willing to bear all the blame. It seems that in these years, he has really found the means to convince you, Xu Qing.  Such a person! But do you think I really don¡¯t know what he did? Do you think he really used the money in the places he said? I think he has control of the situation, but after all, this world is not his.  You can do it with a little care, even if Changsun Wuji is standing behind him!" Li Eryi patted the imperial case in front of him.  "Since your Majesty knows, I have nothing to say. Yes, the prince is behind all this!" Xu Jingzong also risked his life at this time and directly exposed the person behind it. Since Li Er already knows, then in  Hiding the truth would be an even greater crime, and he also knew that in fact, less than one-third of the things the prince had promised had been implemented, and more of them had been used by him to connect more forces.  Not much of the money and national money he absorbed from the people, the army, and merchants of the Tang Dynasty was actually spent. More of it was given to the aristocratic families in the court, so that those big aristocratic families could use it in the future.  Support me when my wings are full.  But how could he know that these things were under Li Er's control, and how could Changsun Wuji betray Li Er? Even though Li Chengqian was his nephew, Li Er was the person he swore allegiance to.  "Since you also know that that boy Cheng Qian is messing around, why do you still lie down and take a walk in the muddy water? I don't believe you can't see the situation clearly!" Li Erduan sat and looked directly at Xu Jingzong.  "Some things have to be done! In that kind of last resort situation, surrender?is the only way out!  "Xu Jingzong doesn't know this, but the power of Prince Li Chengqian is far beyond what Xu Jingzong can contend with, and he is not the kind of person who wants Li Er for help in everything, so choosing to side with him is the best outcome. And he is not the kind of person who wants Li Er for help in everything.  He believed that Li Chengqian was also very promising to take charge of the Tang Dynasty. This was just an early investment. When he learned that Li Chengqian was showing favor to the family, he was already in deep trouble and couldn't extricate himself. "Come here, call me the prince."  Come!  "Li Er yelled angrily, and then asked someone to call Li Chengqian over. The East Palace is not very far from the Lizheng Hall, but during tea time, Li Chengqian had already arrived here. When he saw the faces of those kneeling below,  At that moment, his expression suddenly changed. ¡°Why, Cheng Qian, are you surprised to see these people?  "Li Er said indifferently. "I don't know why my father said this!  "Li Chengqian pretended to be confused and said, while quietly observing the faces of the people below. When he saw the gray expressions on those people's faces, his heart suddenly became cold. "Those aristocratic families have accepted you for hundreds of thousands of taels.  Should the Tang Dynasty¡¯s national funds help you survive this disaster?  "Li Er didn't show any tact. He knew it was time to make a decision. This eldest son was his chosen successor, but he made such a decision. He was bent on suppressing the power of the family in order to establish the imperial power.  Supreme prestige, but his own son ruined the great situation he had created in one fell swoop. Although he had the support of the powerful family for the time being, in the long run, the family would definitely override the imperial power. This was something Li Chengqian was playing  However, for those who are from aristocratic families, the background of the Li and Tang royal family is still relatively shallow after all. Although the Li family was born in Longxi, this family is still not as good as the established aristocratic families such as the Cui family in Qinghe. The time is too short. Counting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period,  It¡¯s only been more than two hundred years, and because of the Hu people¡¯s bloodline, it has never been accepted by the purest aristocratic circles. ¡°Father, please calm down!  "Li Chengqian was completely confused at this time. He knelt down all of a sudden, his body shivering like chaff. "How should I calm down?  You say?  Are you really able to sell out the interests of the Tang Dynasty in exchange for the support of those aristocratic families and even foreign countries? Do you think they will support you?  No, they will just stand behind you, watch you perform poorly in front of them like an actor, and then point fingers and say you are a fool!  This family is the biggest traitor to the imperial power. Over the past thousands of years, how many dynasties have they deprived themselves of?  How many dynasties came and went because aristocratic families secretly rebelled?  You must also know that our royal family was also an aristocratic family at the beginning!  "Li Er's words were extremely serious, and he directly named his incompatible position with the family. When Li Chengqian heard these words, he immediately knew that he had no chance. He fell to the ground with a look of dejection. "I remember, the eldest grandson  Wuji has advised you seventy-eight times, but have you listened?  He has pointed out so many strategies to you to divide the forces of aristocratic families that are friendly with you. Have you ever done any of them?  He even opposed you time and time again to win over those remnants of the Japanese slave country. Did you listen?  No, he has done everything he can do, how much more do you think you are worth his time on you?  All he can do is replace the soldiers on the ships that were betrayed by you twice with death row prisoners!  It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I hope you can wake up on your own again and again, and even let the auxiliary machine wake you up.  But you can't listen!  I won't stop you from being fascinated by those unrealistic things, because I want to see if you will wake up!  Li Er talked eloquently: "But now that all this has been exposed directly, I have to deal with you!"  Cheng Qian, this world does not belong to the aristocratic family or the royal family, but to the people of this world!  The people are water, and the king is the boat. The water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it!  The support of the people is the support of the world!  I have only realized this in the past few years, but now the Tang Dynasty is about to lose the support of the people. In my heart, you are not unimportant, but the most important thing is the entire empire!  " "Father I know who did this!  "Li Chengqian knew at this time that he could not escape this disaster, but he would not make it easy for the person who put him in such a situation. He knew who was doing these things behind the scenes! "Oh tell me, who is it?  !  "Li Er asked. "It's Li Kuan!  He returned to Chang'an. Just two months ago, he just went to his uncle's mansion. Only my uncle and I knew about this matter. I'm afraid you don't even know about it, my father!  "Li Chengqian roared. "I knowI know everything!  "Li Er was completely disappointed. "I declare to the world: abolish Li Chengqian's position as Crown Prince and demote him to a common people!  Never let go!  "Li Er suddenly seemed to have been drained of all his strength and collapsed directly on the dragon chair. He knew all this. He thought there was still a last glimmer of hope, but unexpectedly he was directly killed by Li Chengqian himself. This is life! (  To be continued)
