Chapter 49

Helan Minzhi's revenge

———————————————————

When Lu Ankang, covered in blood, was carried to the hall, Li Zhi's eyes were filled with worries, and there was anger that was constantly growing.

"Who hurts you like this?"

Li Zhi asked gritted his teeth, but Lu Ankang smiled and shook his head. His face was already blood-red, but there was still no trace of pain.

"The old minister is rough and thick in skin, what is this injury?"

Wu Meiniang had a quick eye and took everyone away.

Including Shangguan Wan'er, who Wu Meiniang trusts the most.

When there were only three people left in the hall, Li Zhi walked over quickly and wanted to help him up. Lu Ankang waved his hand gently. At this moment, he would rather sit there and talk to the two of them. If others saw it, it would definitely be a disrespectful act. However, in the eyes of Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, he had such qualifications.

"Sir, I'm going to call the Imperial Doctor here."

Li Zhi said anxiously. Lu Ankang was afraid that his bloody hands would dirty Li Zhi's dragon robe, so he just shouted: "Your Majesty, you don't need these. You should know the situation of the old minister!"

He sat there, got up slightly, and knelt there.

"Sir, I don't want it if you have any injuries."

Lu Ankang waved his hand: "Your Majesty doesn't know! Your Majesty may not agree to what I want to say next."

Lu Ankang slowly kowtowed.

Then he told Li Zhi—

In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang had a total of fourteen sons in his life.

Among them, the eldest son, Li Chengqian, King Changshan, Li Tai, the fourth son, and Li Zhi, King Jin, were both born to Empress Changsun. In addition, Empress Changsun is a main palace, and is very virtuous. She is very prestigious among court officials, and Li Shimin respects her very much.

The next emperor must of course be chosen from her sons.

This is nothing wrong.

What's more, Li Chengqian was the legitimate son and the eldest son. Whether he was "established as a legitimate son" or "established as a legitimate son", he was naturally the crown prince.

Unfortunately, the Prince Chengqian had a poor image. Not only did he have a disability in his legs, he did not perform well. In the information provided by Chen Renxin, he said that he was a prince who liked to make trouble. Later, he simply rebelled under the instigation of King Li Yuanchang of Han and Prime Minister Hou Junji. He was defeated and deposed as a commoner, and he could no longer dream of an emperor.

The Tang Dynasty had just gone through two generations, but it had experienced the deposed prince twice.

The first one is Li Jiancheng, followed by Li Chengqiankun.

These really don't bode well.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was more optimistic among many princes, and most optimistic about it. The fourth prince of the emperor, Li Tai. Li Tai was one year younger than Li Chengqian. He was handsome, smart and studious, and was virtuous and talented. In Taizong's view, he would definitely become a wise ruler.

However, the important officials in the court were very opposed, especially Changsun Wuji (, therefore, the brother of Empress Changsun and the suggestion doctor Chu Suiliang, the most fierce opposition. They advocated the establishment of the ninth son of the emperor, Li Zhi, King Jin. Li Zhi was twenty-two years old at the time. Although he was still a kind young man, he was a famous glutinous rice dumpling, which was useless. However, what Changsun Wuji and others like were his gentleness, weakness and strengths. If Li Tai took over, the emperor and the ministers might have made them mess with each other. What if it was Li Zhi? It would be much easier to control it. Changsun Wuji could continue to maintain the authority of his relatives, Chu Suiliang and Li family could also continue to maintain the status of elders, rule the rule of the king and the ministers, and peace in the world.

This abacus was not good, but Wu Zetian was not included. Of course they could not have thought that a snake-like woman would appear beside Li Zhi. Of course, they could not have thought that although Li Zhi was easy to control, it was not controlled by them, but by his wife. As a result, they helped Li Zhi to the stage, but Li Zhi mobilized them under his command.

Li Tai also made repeated mistakes.

First of all, he was arrogant and arrogant and looked down upon. What about him? It is said that there were some flattering villains. This not only made the old ministers in the court look down on them, but also made them worried. More importantly, he was too anxious about the succession to the throne.

Li Tai also made a self-righteous mistake. He ran to Li Zhi and said: You usually have the best relationship with Li Yuanchang. Now that he has been beheaded, aren’t you afraid? Li Tai’s meaning is to warn Li Zhi: Don’t fight with me, there is no good fruit. Unexpectedly, he reminded Li Shimin: There will be dangers in establishing Li Tai, Chengqian and Li Zhi. Only by establishing Li Zhi can you ensure that all three sons are safe.

Lu Ankang simply chose a little bit from this history, and naturally did not say anything about Wu Meiniang's secretly instructed him. He told Li Zhi: "The first emperor chose His Majesty because he was attracted by His Majesty's unparty and unselfish quality. Everyone knows this, and Helan Minzhi also knows it. So he deliberately used this point to arouse His Majesty's anger towards his so-called Helan Party. When the moment comes, he will undoubtedly want to anger the relationship between His Majesty and the courtiers."

Lu Ankang took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, there are naturally people among those who have a lot of relationship with Helan Min, but Your Majesty thinks carefully that there is no banquet in the world. When Helan Min dies, they are the hares with no heads. The power of killing is in the hands of Your Majesty. If you kill them together, why not keep them in captivity and make long-term plans?"

Li Zhi immediately understood this sentence.

Even Wu Meiniang, who was beside him, understood, and he immediately left to write the imperial edict himself.

Only Wu Meiniang and Lu Ankang were left in the bedroom.

The two looked at each other and Wu Meiniang asked suspiciously: "You are doing these to find out this?"

Lu Ankang smiled, and he smiled bitterly.

"Little girl!" Lu Ankang said to himself: "You are really wrong this time!"

Wu Meiniang was stunned when she heard this title.

"Then Helan Minzhi's vicious plan is not aimed at Your Majesty, but at you!" Lu Ankang sighed, "Silly girl."

When the familiar name came into my ears, the deepest memory in my heart seemed to be thrown away.

"teacher"

Wu Meiniang half-kneeled in front of Lu Ankang, holding Lu Ankang who was constantly coughing up blood: "What should I do?"

Lu Ankang took a deep breath and said in a sigh: "I don't care what you think you want to do, but that must be something that has never happened since ancient times. The pressure you have to lift is something that future generations cannot imagine."

He looked at Wu Meiniang and said, "They can't stand that happening, so you have to do better, far beyond what you have before and after! You understand!"

But in the end, what did he think of?

"teacher"

Wu Meiniang looked at Lu Ankang.

"Human hearts! Like water!" Lu Ankang said, "What the late emperor said is that water can carry a boat and can also overturn it! You have to learn these!"

"And Zhi'er is the only person in this world who is truly kind to you. Don't forget his kindness to you because of his desire for power!"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Meiniang's arm tightly.
