Chapter 18 Forcing Rebellion
Pingkangfang, Xieyulou.
The inner courtyard is elegantly decorated with an inner room, with tables and chairs tilted, and the clothes, wine bottles, etc. are scattered on the ground, which are obviously a scene that has just passed by thunderstorms.
On the bed next to the wall in the inner room, Li Ke was lying on the bed, his fingers gently tapping the wooden window cider, making a slight "dong dong" sound, his brows frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Xiao Yuexian leaned on Li Ke’s back like a water snake, her fingers were as white as a green onion, gently sliding on Li Ke’s back, and said angrily: “What’s wrong with your highness recently? You always like to think about things at this time. Could it be that you are tired of Xian’er?”
The beauty was coquettishly heard, Li Ke felt the itchyness on his back, and realized that he was abrupt again. Li Ke slowly turned over, hugged Xiao Yuexian steadily, and apologized: "I will taste the beauty of immortals for another ten years, and I won't feel bored for twenty years. How can I get bored with you? I have just been in trouble recently and have been gone."
Xiao Yuexian leaned against Li Ke's arms and asked in confusion: "The prince's loss of his throne has been a foregone conclusion, and the great achievements of the dethrone are about to be completed. What are your highness thinking?"
Li Ke said: "Although the prince is deposed is a foregone conclusion, it is possible to reinstate him."
Xiao Yuexian asked, "Is Your Highness worried that Your Majesty will first depose him and then become reinstated?"
During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, the former crown prince Yang Yong was captured by Yang Guang. He was first deposed by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian. Then Emperor Wen of Sui was regretful and wanted to regain Yang Yong several times, which eventually led to the opposition between father and son and brothers slaughtering each other. This is what Xiao Yuexian said.
Li Ke nodded and said, "Not bad."
Xiao Yuexian said: "It wouldn't be like this. The former Prince Yong of Sui was abandoned because Empress Dugu strongly advocated the easy-to-stock market. It was not a real mistake. Now the prince's journey is a foregone conclusion and it will never be reversed again. Will there be any change?"
Li Ke said: "The crown prince is the eldest son. This incident happened before the Sui Dynasty, and our dynasty has not been able to do so. What's more, although the prince killed people in the street is a big deal, it is not a great thing. After this incident, the crown prince will lose power, but may not fall out of favor. As long as the crown prince does not completely fall out of favor, everything is possible."
It is impossible to indulge the subordinates in killing a power for a thousandth century, and it is impossible to ask the prince to pay his life. It is inevitable that Li Chengqian's throne will be deposed after this incident, but he will never be removed from the royal family, and he will most likely be able to protect the next prince.
As long as the prince's favor is still there after this incident and he can repent, he may return to the Eastern Palace again. After all, only the prince lost power this time, and the Changsun family is still there.
"What does Your Highness mean?" Xiao Yuexian raised her head and looked at Li Ke and asked.
Li Ke said: "Either don't take action. Since he has taken action, he will never have the opportunity to turn over. I will strike while the iron is hot and give the prince a ruthless one."
Xiao Yuexian looked at Li Ke Chengzhu's appearance and asked in confusion: "The prince is the eldest son of His Majesty. Is there any way to kill the prince unless..."
Xiao Yuexian said as she thought about it, and suddenly thought of a possibility and said to Li Ke: "Rebellion? If you want to make the prince unable to turn over, there is probably no other way except to rebel."
Seeing this, Li Ke smiled and said, "You are right. It's a rebellion. As long as the prince rebelled, even if he is the eldest son, even if ten Changsun Wuji help him, he will not be able to turn things around."
When Xiao Yuexian heard about the rebellion, she was immediately excited. She stood up and sat on Li Ke's lower abdomen, looked at Li Ke and asked, "If you want to say that your highness has the ability and courage to rebel, Xian'er believes it, but the prince is weak and has no military power except the Sixth Ring of the East Palace. Does he have such courage and ability?"
Li Ke shook his head and said, "With the ability of the prince, he can't even control the Six Directions of the East Palace. The most he can use is the hundred people from the inner route of the right to the right. Where did he get the military power?"
Xiao Yuexian became more and more puzzled when he heard Li Ke's words, and then asked, "Since the prince has no military power, how dare he rebel?"
Li Ke smiled and said, "Because the King of Japan gave him a big gift, he has no courage and no military power, but some people are bold and arrogant and hold heavy troops."
Although Chang'an City is large, it holds military power and only the sixteen generals can cause storms. As for the remaining guards of the prefectures, they cannot make the climate.
But among the sixteen generals of the Sixteen Guards, except for Li Ke in charge of the right Guard and Li Tai in charge of the left Guards, the remaining generals of the guards are either the emperor's confidant or the founding Yuan Su, who is loyal to Li Shimin. Who would take such a risk to rebel against Li Chengqian?
Xiao Yuexian felt a little incredible when he heard Li Ke's words at first, but looking at Li Ke's confident appearance, he wouldn't be talking nonsense.
Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Liu Hongji... Xiao Yuexian passed the name of the General of the Sixteen Guards in his mind, and always felt that something was wrong, but when she remembered someone, she suddenly stopped. This person was Hou Junji.
Hou Junji and Li Ke were in disagreement, and Li Ke died of the Helan Yueshi incident. If Li Chengqian lost his position and Li Ke entered the Eastern Palace, Hou Junji would have been unable to sleep or eat, and this possibility is extremely high, which is why he was able to join the prince and deal with Li Ke.
Xiao Yuexian said: "What Your Highness must be Hou Junji."
Xiao Yuexian was very thoughtful and seemed to have such talent in nature. Li Ke only mentioned it a little and guessed it. Li Ke had to admire this.
Li Ke gently pinched Xiao Yuexian's cheek and said, "What a smart woman, if you are a prince, I will never be your opponent."
Xiao Yuexian smiled and said, "Your Highness joked that Director Xian'er is just a small path, so how can you go to Your Highness? It's just that although Your Highness has gathered a grudge between Helan Yueshi and Hou Jun, can Hou Junji make up his mind by just this matter?"
Li Ke said: "I'm afraid it's not enough, but I will push him again. When Hou Junji fought in the West, he was not clean and greedy, and he even indulged his subordinates in looting. If I expose this matter, Hou Junji will definitely be embarrassed. Both crimes are taken together, and in order to protect himself, he will have to rebel."
Xiao Yuexian thought for a while and said, "If the prince rebelled, then we can't stay in Xieyulou."
Li Ke said: "This is naturally. I hope it was from Xieyulou. In the past few days, Xieyulou has had a lot of relationship with the Eastern Palace. It would be fine if the prince did not rebel. Once he rebels Xieyulou, he will be implicated. You can withdraw in the near future."
Xiao Yuexian said a pity: "A good jade building has been abandoned with so much money and effort."
Li Ke said: "This matter is not so fast. You have a few days to find a suitable buyer and sell Xieyulou. The Xieyulou is a mountain of gold, and you can still miss the next one."
Xiao Yuexian listened to Li Ke's words and covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Highness is not in the world, and she doesn't know the benefits and interests. There are so many people watching the big news about the sales of Xieyulou. Neither the buyer nor the buyer are ordinary people. Once the sale is sold, there will be trouble. At this moment, it is better to be careful, so for the sake of Your Highness's great cause, the Xieyulou can only be abandoned and cannot be sold."
Li Ke nodded and said, "So that's it, it's okay. It's just a jade building, which is just a profit of three to five months in the Southeast Salt Market. If you abandon it, you will abandon it. After all, compared with the position of the prince, what is this little money worth."
