Chapter 1116 Honoring His Majesty as the Supreme Emperor

Li Tai believed in Hou Junji.

He believed that Hou Junji also hated Zhao Chen and wanted to kill Zhao Chen.

But Li Tai ignored that Hou Junji was also resentful of the emperor.

When he saw the contents of the letter in his hand, Li Tai suddenly came back to his senses.

Hou Junji told the emperor about his assassination of Zhao Chen, making it clear that he wanted to turn against the emperor.

He even said in the letter that the emperor was shot by a hidden arrow on the battlefield and was in critical condition.

Doesn't this tell him that the emperor is going to die soon, and this is Li Tai's chance!

Li Tai looked at the panicked Kong Yingda in front of him, and was confused for a moment.

Li Tai didn't want to sit still and wait for death, but on the one hand, it was his father. Did he really want to face the emperor to the death?

If that were to happen, how would future history books write about this?

"Mr. Yingda, what do you think?" Li Tai couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to look at Kong Yingda.

If Kong Yingda had a way to solve this matter, he definitely wouldn't be so panicked.

Now the emperor already knew about their secret plot to murder Zhao Chen, and even knew that they worked together with Hou Junji, Yuan Gaisuwen, and even Tubo spies to deal with Zhao Chen.

If he was just dealing with Zhao Chen, it could be said that the prince was ignorant of the general situation and put personal hatred above the interests of the country.

But with the participation of Goguryeo and Tubo, the interest in this matter was completely different.

In order to deal with the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, the prince collaborated with the enemy to frame up and frame the heroes of his country to death?

If word of this spreads out, not to mention that the prince Li Tai didn't do anything, it would be a great blessing to save his life.

As for Kong Yingda himself, there is absolutely no chance of him escaping this disaster.

The reputation that the Kong family has accumulated over thousands of years may even be lost in his hands.

Thinking of her family's future, Kong Yingda was heartbroken and had an idea.

"Your Highness, the current situation is that Zhao Chen

He is dead, Your Majesty has been poisoned, I fear... there is not much time left. "

"Now the Tang Dynasty is on the verge of collapse. If Your Highness leads the way and is slaughtered right now, it will mean that the common people in the world will be ignored, and the foundation of Li Tang will be ignored."

"Hou Junji just wants to shake the Tang Dynasty and benefit from it later."

"In this case, we can't just go along with it."

"His Majesty should have sent someone back to Chang'an to convey the order. In such a critical moment, His Majesty should have sent someone to capture him."

"Stabilize the Chang'an court situation, follow the example of His Majesty, and respect His Majesty as the Supreme Emperor, and Your Highness can be the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Kong Yingda said slowly, his words were slow, and his voice was slightly trembling.

There is really no other way now.

Their affairs have been completely exposed, and the emperor will definitely send someone back to deal with them.

At least to protect themselves, they need to find a way.

The most appropriate solution at the moment is for Li Tai to ascend the throne as emperor in Chang'an and respect the emperor as the supreme emperor.

Just like the Xuanwu Gate incident.

When Li Tai heard Kong Yingda's method, his face was filled with hesitation.

In his heart, he still didn't want to completely break up with the emperor, after all, the history books would not show mercy to him.

The emperor's Xuanwumen incident was forced by Li Jiancheng and he had no choice but to do anything wrong at first.

But what about yourself?

The hero who poisoned the country was even his own royal brother.

The nature of the incident is completely different!

Li Tai can already imagine how history books will write about him in the future!

"His Royal Highness, history is written by the victors. Your Majesty has been poisoned and his time is running out. You are the eldest and most virtuous prince among His Majesty's knees."

"If you take the lead

To be killed, let Li Zhi, a child, be the prince or the emperor? "

"Seeing that Goguryeo has already attacked, what ability does he have to command the army to block Goguryeo's front?" Kong Yingda was very anxious.

He can only persuade Li Tai not to give up now.

Otherwise, Kong Yingda would definitely be punished by the emperor, and the family's thousand-year reputation would be lost in one day because of him.

Li Tai hesitated.

He thought that his father had also launched the Xuanwu Gate Revolution before becoming emperor.

Then he respected Li Yuan as the Supreme Emperor.

Aren’t these years pretty good?

The emperor was poisoned. If he became the emperor, he would definitely respect him as the Supreme Emperor and use the entire Tang Dynasty to detoxify him.

If the emperor spends his own life just to deal with himself, it will only excite the enemy.

But Li Tai didn't dare, he didn't dare to risk the world to speak out.

"Your Highness, something happened!" An attendant from the East Palace ran outside, with a look of panic on his face.

Li Tai was already in a very anxious mood, and now he was even more annoyed when he saw his attendants looking like this.

But before Li Tai could speak, he heard the attendant say with a face full of urgency: "Your Highness, my subordinates just came back from Chang'an Street and found people talking everywhere, saying that Your Highness cooperated with Goguryeo and secretly came back to Chang'an to urge for cold-proof supplies. Zhao Chen."

"Your Highness, many people have gathered at the entrance of the palace now, and they want your Highness to give an explanation!"

The attendant's words were like another basin of cold water poured over Li Tai's head.

Li Tai was so excited that his whole body trembled.

Li Tai immediately thought that Hou Junji had someone spread the news in Chang'an.

Now that the people have gathered together, what Li Tai did before must be known to everyone.

He waved his hand and signaled the attendant to go down.

Li Tai looked at Kong Yingda. <

"Mr. Yingda, if we want to do something big, we need to control all the armies inside and outside Chang'an."

"Among the sixteen guards, I only control the left and right Xiao Guards and the left and right prison guards. I have no control over the other twelve guards."

"If there is an uprising in this palace, we will definitely capture the remaining guard posts."

"There is also the Bei Ya Forbidden Army, which is Cheng Yaojin's old army. If he returns to Chang'an, the Bei Ya Forbidden Army will definitely be used by him."

"Thirty percent of the ministers in the court are from this palace, and 30% do not take sides. The rest are loyal to my father."

"This is such a big deal that there is no room for any mistakes!" Li Tai expressed his worries.

He had only been the crown prince for a short time, and the emperor had always favored Zhao Chen, so Li Tai didn't have much chance to develop ministers under his command.

As for the Sixteenth Guards and the Beiya Forbidden Army, the emperor even sent his own people to control them.

If you want to think about something, there are many things to consider.

"This matter can be taken slowly. Many of my former students gave up their studies and became martial arts, and many of them served in the Sixteenth Guards."

"I can help His Royal Highness persuade them about this matter." Kong Yingda and Li Tai said.

Seeing that Li Tai finally wanted to establish himself as emperor, Kong Yingda also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Li Tai would compromise out of fear, and Kong Yingda would really be dead in that case.

Li Tai has this intention, at least Kong Yingda can still give it a try.

Now the emperor is deeply poisoned and there is no cure. As long as they persist until the emperor is dead, even those who originally opposed them will die down.

In this way, if Li Tai succeeds in becoming emperor, he, Kong Yingda, will also be able to rise to prominence and gain both fame and fortune.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Yingda. If it comes to pass, Mr. Yingda will be the biggest contributor."

"I will never forget your kindness." Li Tai and Kong Yingda deeply held their hands.
