Chapter 465 Everyone has selfishness(2/2)
It can be said that it has protected the face of the royal family and given His Majesty Li Er a step forward.
With the steps in hand, Li Er naturally followed the trend and said righteously: "Imperial examination candidate Wang Dachui and Taichang Temple Le Tong Zhongxin deliberately disrupted the order of the imperial examination for their own selfish desires. Their intentions are punishable and their crimes are unpardonable. Now, the special
Li Junxian will lead his men to arrest and bring him to justice. If he dares to resist, he will be shot without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Dachui and Le Tong were immediately sentenced to death.
Li Junxian knew that the purpose of His Majesty Li Er's words was obviously to kill people and silence them.
Regardless of whether the other party resisted during the capture process, the final result would be that he would be killed if he resisted, and Wang Dachui would no longer have a reason to live.
Now that His Majesty Li Er has spoken, no one dares to continue the investigation. This involves the royal family's face. Who dares to make a mistake?
If something even more dirty is discovered by accident, not only will the royal family lose face, but the people investigating the case will also not end well.
There is no guarantee that the furious His Majesty Li Er will not chop them all down to save the face of the royal family.
Therefore, Li Ji and Li Junxian could only pretend to be deaf and dumb in response to His Majesty Li Er's blatant flattery.
Everyone has selfish motives!
Even the wise and mighty His Majesty Li Er is like this.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and finally His Majesty Li Er asked: "What has the prince been doing recently?"
Li Ji was slightly stunned, why did he run to the prince?
However, at this time, Li Jiyao was leading the crown prince's left guard, and his relationship with the crown prince was quite close.
After hearing this, Li Ji quickly replied: "After the prince came back from Tubo, except for going to Taichang Temple from time to time, he rarely played around every day. He either studied hard at Chongxian Hall or studied and handled government affairs in the East Palace."
His Majesty Li Er slightly nodded his head, feeling a little relieved.
He was extremely confused about Li Chengqian.
If such a scandal had occurred, if His Majesty Li Er had followed his past temper, Li Chengqian would have been dethroned as crown prince long ago.
But now it is very helpless to maintain it like this.
As the supreme emperor of the Tang Empire, the mighty Tian Khan could only act like thousands of fathers in the world when facing his own son, and could not bear to destroy him.
After all, as his eldest son, His Majesty Li Er has spent a lot of effort and energy...
When Li Chengqian was six years old, His Majesty Li Er asked the famous Confucian master Lu Deming to teach him;
At the age of eleven, His Majesty Li Er began to consciously cultivate his ability to handle government affairs;
When he was sixteen years old, the prince liked to pretend to be a barbarian, and His Majesty Li Er also took great pains to lead him back to the right path.
Even if there were rumors that the crown prince's position was unstable, they would immediately appoint Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda and others as the crown prince and grand master to defeat the public's expectations.
His Majesty Li Er, who knows people's hearts well and is well aware of the world's general situation, cannot figure it out.
Why did the son who was so smart, benevolent and filial at the beginning turn into the absurd, arrogant and lewd person he is now?
Could it be that my training has been in the wrong direction?
After thinking about it, Li Er said: "It's not enough to study and deal with political affairs all day long. You need to learn more about the ways of saints to correct yourself. I have passed on my decree and ordered the prince to study the Book of Rites in the East Palace and not to leave the palace for three months."
"
Hearing this, Li Ji felt that he was becoming increasingly unclear about His Majesty Li Er's thoughts!
Just now, he had an attitude of "I am very angry and the consequences will be very serious", but now he is so protective of Li Chengqian, which makes people a little confused.
His Majesty Li Er seems to have confined Li Chengqian in the East Palace, but is it not a decision made to protect Li Chengqian?
In any case, Li Ji finally understood what His Majesty Li Er meant, and the matter was settled.
From a side perspective, it also meant to warn Li Ji.
…
Baiqi was very efficient. As soon as he came out of Tai Chi Hall, Li Junxian led several groups of troops to Taichang Temple.
Taichang Temple, as the institution in charge of temple rituals and music, is the highest administrative organ in charge of rituals and music.
The music boy of Taichang Temple is pleased with his status, and his status is equivalent to that of a singer, but he is loved by the prince Li Chengqian.
Therefore, he often went in and out of the East Palace and was picked up and dropped off by the prince every time. The relationship between him and the prince was naturally self-evident.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was not a shameful thing for wealthy people to like masculine styles.
If Li Chengqian is just a good man, His Majesty Li Er won't care too much and won't bother to take care of it. After all, it won't be spread in the East Palace.
But now, as the crown prince of the country, the prince neglected the beautiful concubines in the East Palace and refused to favor him. Instead, he was jealous of Changsun Chong over a music boy, which made Li Er angry.
What's more, the status of the prince is different from that of ordinary people. After all, he is the one who wants to inherit the throne. Every word and deed may affect the image of the royal family.
Of course His Majesty Li Er couldn't bear it. He was reluctant to deal with the prince, and he didn't want to turn against the eldest son's family.
Although Li Chengqian's actions this time made His Majesty Li Er very angry, it has not yet reached the point where the prince must be deposed.
His Majesty Li Er is a very decisive character.
As King of Qin, he realized that as his military exploits became more and more prominent, the generals in the army became more and more inclined to him, and Prince Li Jiancheng became more and more suspicious of him.
Once Li Jiancheng ascends the throne, what he will most likely face is a glass of poisonous wine or three feet of white silk.
Therefore, Li Er immediately launched a resistance, even though he had the reputation of killing his brother and his brother, he brazenly launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
He forced Li Yuan to make himself the crown prince. Soon after, he once again forced his father to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne, and he ascended the throne himself.
The decisive killing finally gave him the last laugh.
But now he is afraid!
Depose the prince?
At least Li Er hasn’t thought about it now!
Because of the bad consequences of doing so, His Majesty Li Er had to hesitate.
His own throne came through a coup. If the next emperor is still not the heir apparent, he will succeed him.
Then, it is likely that an impression will be deeply ingrained among his descendants.
Let the younger generations think that the throne can be fought for.
If everyone has this kind of thinking, who will remain contentedly and watch others become emperors?
It is unbelievable that every subsequent change of imperial power in the Tang Dynasty will be accompanied by intrigues and bloodshed.
Once such a tradition is formed, it will easily shake the foundation of the country, which is definitely not what His Majesty Li Er wants to see.
