Chapter 620 Why Did Your Majesty Succeed That Year?
Chapter 620 Why Your Majesty Was Successful Back then
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Tai put away the smile on his face, looked at Hou Junji seriously, and said, "I am very grateful to Lord Lu for supporting me. If there is such a day, I will definitely I will not treat Lu Guogong badly."
"Your Highness is talented and broad-minded, so he should be in charge of the East Palace. I can do my best." Hou Junji said.
"Duke Lu is well-informed, can you help me analyze the current situation?" Li Tai laughed.
He wanted to see if Hou Junji had a better way.
If it wasn't really helpless, he didn't want to go to the step of mutiny, after all, it meant that if he failed, the end would be extremely miserable.
Hou Junji is very cautious about Li Tai's problems. He and Li Tai are now a grasshopper on a rope. Li Tai's future direction also determines his future.
After pondering for a while, Hou Junji said: "Staying in Chang'an is naturally the best for His Highness, but now it seems that the chance is not great. Your Majesty is determined to stabilize the position of the crown prince, so His Highness can only Go to the fief first and then slowly map it out."
After listening to Hou Junji's words, Li Tai clenched his hands under his long sleeves into fists, and a trace of ferocity flashed across his face.
Li Chengqian is a son, isn't he?
Why was he born two years earlier? He took advantage of all the benefits.
Hou Junji noticed Li Tai's strangeness, although his face was calm, he was very happy in his heart.
Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has been full of blood. If Li Tai only thought of normal means to fight for it, then there is no possibility at all, unless Li Chengqian suddenly died suddenly.
But obviously, this is impossible.
As long as Li Tai has hatred in his heart, he will not soften his heart at critical moments. This is the person who can do great things.
"Since His Highness is doomed not to stay in Chang'an, why not go to fief the land earlier, so as to accumulate strength earlier." Hou Junji said.
Li Tai's eyes flashed, and he said, "Duke Lu means to accumulate strength and start a mutiny?"
Hou Junji nodded and said, "The crown prince is in good health, has grown up, and has children, so the climate will be successful. There is no other way."
Although Li Chengqian is not considered to be a great talent, he can be considered quite satisfactory. If he continues to develop like this, his succession is certain.
Apart from mutiny, it is unlikely that Li Chengqian's position can be shaken by other means.
Another and more important point is that Hou Junji couldn't wait any longer.
He is slightly older than Li Shimin, and it is not certain who will die first with Li Shimin.
Even if he boiled Li Shimin to death, he would be very old, how long would it last?
This is also the reason why he supported Li Chengqian's rebellion in history.
He knew the odds were slim, but he was willing to take a gamble.
"Even if you go alone, how much strength can you accumulate with those fiefdoms?"
Li Tai was a little hesitant, Hou Junji and Han Wen suggested to launch a mutiny, but one asked him to stay in Chang'an, and the other asked him to go to the fiefdom.
In comparison, he still hopes to stay in Chang'an. Even if there is nothing to do in Chang'an, it will not be difficult to go to the fiefdom again, but once he goes to the fiefdom, it will be very difficult to return to Chang'an.
"Your Highness, I don't mean to ask His Highness to launch a mutiny from the fief. His Highness's fief belongs to the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is prosperous, it is not a land of dragon prosperity. Now His Highness has never been a fan, and I don't know how many eyes are on His Highness, and His Majesty's I also have doubts about His Highness, once His Highness goes to the fiefdom, in the eyes of other people, it will undoubtedly lose the possibility of fighting for the emperor, so that the eyes on His Highness will be less, and His Highness can take it slowly." Hou Junji said .
Li Shimin was so powerful back then, not only Li Jiancheng was suspicious of him, but even Li Yuan personally suppressed him.
At that time, Li Shimin could only bear it. Many people felt that Li Shimin's power was gone, so they changed their courts one after another.
And Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng also felt that Li Shimin was a toothless tiger, and there was no threat, so they relaxed, which allowed Li Shimin to win the final victory.
His advice to Li Tai is to endure first, accumulate strength first, wait for Li Shimin and Li Chengqian to relax, and look for opportunities to launch a mutiny.
"But this king has gone to the fiefdom, so he won't be able to return to Chang'an." Li Tai hesitated.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. If His Highness tells His Majesty now that he doesn't want to embarrass His Majesty and is willing to go to the fief right now, His Majesty will definitely feel guilty towards His Highness. After a few years, Your Highness will be successful. Find a reason to go back to Chang'an to have a look. Presumably His Majesty will not refuse." Hou Junji said confidently.
He has followed Li Shimin for many years and knows Li Shimin's character very well.
Li Shimin liked Li Tai very much at first, and now Li Tai, in order not to embarrass him, went to the feudal clan with his illness, wouldn't Li Shimin feel guilty?
After waiting for a few years, it is not easy to find any reason and want to go back to Chang'an.
Li Tai hesitated for a moment, and told Hou Junji what Han Wen had said to him.
After hearing this, Hou Junji was horrified, and his first thought was that it was impossible.
The aristocratic family has always sought stability, and what they pay attention to is that all eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Although the aristocratic family supported the Li family at the beginning, they also sent some clansmen to support other princes.
He also knew that the family supported Li Tai, but he felt that the family was just investing, nothing more than taking some money.
It's good for Li Tai to be successful, if not, their family is big and they don't care about the little money.
Unexpectedly, the aristocratic family would actually say that they would dispatch private soldiers to support Li Tai's mutiny.
This is tantamount to desperate.
But thinking about the impact of the imperial examination and movable type printing on the family, Hou Junji felt that this was not impossible.
The shadow of the aristocratic family was in the demise of the Sui Dynasty, because the Sui Dynasty implemented the imperial examination.
In fact, the impact of imperial examinations on aristocratic families was not as great as imagined. After all, books were monopolized by them, and the common people had no channels to learn knowledge. So what if there were imperial examinations?
However, movable type printing can break the family's monopoly on knowledge, and the imperial examination is too great a threat to the family.
If things go on like this, the family will slowly disappear in the long river of history.
The aristocratic family is naturally unwilling, and it is not impossible to put all their eggs in one basket.
"Your Highness, since you have the full support of the aristocratic family, what I said earlier is meaningless. I think it's better for Your Highness to stay in Chang'an." Hou Junji said.
What he said before did not consider the factor of the family. Now that he has the support of the family, he naturally has to change his strategy.
"I would like to hear the details." Li Tai looked at Hou Junji and said.
"Before, I suggested that Your Highness should go down and become a vassal because His Highness does not have any influence and the possibility of staying in Chang'an is unlikely. Now that you have the support of your family, you don't need it anymore," Hou Junji said.
"What does Lord Lu mean, is the family's method feasible?" Li Tai asked.
According to people from the family alone, he still hesitates. After all, the family is all literati and has no military knowledge, but Hou Junji is a veteran in the battlefield and has participated in the Xuanwu Gate Change. If Hou Junji agrees with it, then he has confidence up.
"Does Your Highness know why His Majesty was able to succeed back then?" Hou Junji asked.
Li Tai was taken aback, and said, "It's because the royal father has a high prestige in the army, the royal father controls the palace, and there is an imperial edict from the grandpa, so the troops near Chang'an did not resist."
