Chapter 218 Resignation

After leaving the door of the hall, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't wake him up. If he had woken him up, he probably wouldn't know how to deal with it.

"Is your grandpa plotting against you now?"

After returning to the East Palace, Li Chengqian quickly asked everyone to go out.

"Then who do you think this incident today is directed at? Isn't it directed at me? In fact, I also understand in my heart that even if we both agree, will we be willing to face the important officials of the imperial court one day?"

After Li Xiang finished speaking, Li Chengqian nodded beside him. Everyone knows Yang Shufei's virtuousness, but the problem is that she cannot be named queen. We have robbed the old Yang family's empire, and then named their daughter. Become a queen, what's going on?

"Then how did you tell?"

Li Chengqian said with some confusion. In the situation just now, almost everyone was concealed. How did Li Xiang figure it out? Are you smarter than the rest of us? But this kid is only fourteen years old this year.

"I can tell from you, my second uncle, and my ninth uncle. After my grandfather finished speaking, your three brothers immediately went out to object. I immediately thought of my third uncle. If there was a confrontation, we would definitely fight My third uncle had a falling out."

What Li Xiang said is right. When the uncles knelt down just now, Li Xiang immediately thought of what happened next. The third and fifth children are a family, and the eldest, second and ninth brothers are a family. The five brothers probably We can start fighting later.

Even though Empress Changsun has three sons, if there is a real fight, her three sons may not be able to beat Concubine Yang Shu's two sons.

"But... is there a possibility that your grandpa really thinks this way? If your grandpa really thinks this way, you must stand on our side. I fought with your second uncle and your ninth uncle like this, but At that moment just now, we felt like brothers sharing the same hatred, and this was related to our status."

Li Chengqian said very seriously that since Wu King Li Ke was born, Li Shimin has said in many places that this son is the most like him. This has also brought crisis to the brothers. If it were not for the birth problems of Wu King Li Ke If so, he would already be the prince. Li Shimin also said this when he was drunk, and it came from the palace. They couldn't help but the brothers were not nervous. Once Concubine Yang Shu became the queen, then King Wu Li Ke would also be the direct descendant. , no different from their brothers.

"Why is my father confused? It's not our turn to take part in this matter. Even if my grandfather is discussing the matter, when has he ever been in such a posture as today, calling all the clan members? There has never been such a meeting before. , Whether it is important matters of the royal family or the country, they are all discussed in my grandfather's small circle, and they are discussed only after the discussion is completed. "

The words awakened the dreamer. There were a lot of strange things today. The so-called emperor's small circle was Fang Xuanling and those people. Although those people had no blood relationship with the emperor, they had always been the emperor's think tank, no matter what. Whether it is a big or small matter, the emperor likes to discuss it with them first. I am discussing it directly with the royal family members today. Isn't it just to make this big fuss happen without affecting the government affairs?

"Then you didn't let your grandfather figure it out today. Will he think of other ways?"

Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva. When it came to political matters, even if the brothers were tied together, they might not be as powerful as Li Shimin. When Li Shimin wanted to plot against someone, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

"Tomorrow, father will submit a memorial to me. I want to resign as commander of the Imperial City Division."

Li Xiang thought for a while that he had several positions. In the next few days, he would have to resign one by one.

"This is a bit bad, isn't it? Although you are not an official in the capital, a copy of each report from the Imperial City Division is sent to the East Palace, which is crucial to the news that we are in charge of the entire capital. If it just disappears, Then where will we get news from in the future? What's more, after you leave, the Imperial City Secretary will become your second uncle's personal office, and he will be more powerful than us in the future."

When the Imperial City Division was first established, the government and the public didn't feel anything bad about it. It was just a department for catching spies. Anyway, they didn't have any spies in their family. However, in the past few months since its establishment, when inquiring about spies, they would always Being able to receive some other news is very important to the dignitaries in the capital.

But it's a pity that the yamen has been improved at this time, and there is no way to stuff people inside. Even if the major families are jealous, they can only watch from the side. If you have any careful thoughts, the person above is not a fool. .

"Why is my father so confused? My second uncle went in to be the commander just to contain me. If I am no longer in there, who will my second uncle contain? My grandfather's eyes are bright. There is no way that my second uncle's family will be let down. Duda will also try to kick my second uncle out. If he understands, he will resign together with me. This should be the best result, but if he continues to stay there, he will probably have to be punished. ”

After listening to his son's words, Li Chengqian showed a smile on his face. Indeed, just as his son analyzed, the second son can't take advantage either. Don't think that you are happy that our East Palace is being suppressed. In fact, you will also be affected.

"But what if it doesn't work after you resign?"

The smile on Li Chengqian's face didn't last long enough for a breath, and immediately turned nervous again.

"Then continue to resign until I am an idle member of the clan."

Li Xiang said very firmly, in fact, the level of official position is of no use. In the feudal dynasty, the emperor's preference is the most important. If he is happy, you can rise from the ground at any time. If he is unhappy, even if you sit on the position of prime minister, He may become a civilian at any time, so Li Xiang doesn't care about these official positions.

"What about the Zuo Shenwu Army?"

Li Chengqian is the same as all the princes. They all dream of controlling the military and political power of Chang'an City like their father. Once it reaches that level, even if his father allows him to go down, I am afraid he will not be able to go down, although he will not be able to do it again. The Xuanwu Gate changes, but at least my father can't do whatever he wants as he does now.

"Same words."

After Li Xiang's words came out, Li Chengqian felt as if his heart was dead. He finally had a chance to take over the military power, and now he has to resign. It is really worse than death...
