Chapter 257 Undercurrents

Now the problem is very clear! It was Li Zhi who whispered something in Li Er's ear and persuaded Li Er to make Li Tai a king.

And Zhang Changling, who has little ability but outstanding literary talent, is not a man who keeps to himself.

Zhang Changling actually got involved. It should be him who instigated Li Zhi to do so. What did he want to do?

No matter what, Li Tai's title of king has become a fact and cannot be changed.

"You all should withdraw first! I want to be alone!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Tai was re-titled a king, and undercurrents surged in the court and the country. Some people with ulterior motives were secretly plotting something.

Under the seemingly calm surface, there was a surge of turbulence.

Especially Fang Yiai and Li Tai's party, they are more active.

At this time, in Chai Mansion.

Fang Yiai, the famous cuckold king of the Tang Dynasty, is discussing something with Chai Lingwu.

"Lingwu, have you heard? His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has been re-ennobled as the Prince of Pu by His Majesty. It seems that His Majesty still has His Royal Highness in his heart." Fang Yiai said. "

Yes! But so what? Now in the entire capital, who can compete with the power of the prince? Although it is a good thing that His Royal Highness has been re-ennobled as a king, it is far away from the capital." Chai Lingwu said.

Now Li Tai is far away in Taizhou, far away from the capital for several years. The power of the prince is the only one in the court. Even if Li Tai comes back, it will not help, not to mention that it is far away from Chang'an.

Besides, Li Tai's forces were either dead or exiled. They were not as powerful as Li Chengqian in the first place, and now they are even weaker.

Only Chai Lingwu and Fang Yiai were left at home, accompanying the princess. They wanted to support Li Tai to resume the path of succession, but they could not see any hope.

"Although we are isolated now, we can unite with Prince Jin and others to fight against the crown prince. It is not impossible for His Royal Highness Prince Pu to join the struggle for succession." Fang Yiai said.

Now he still did not give up. After all, he and Chai Lingwu were Li Tai's party. If it were not for the fact that they were the son-in-law of the emperor and their fathers, they would have been exiled.

Sometimes, they have no choice but to go all the way. Even if they are willing to let go, others may not be able to forget the fact that they are Li Tai's party.

Moreover, Fang Yiai still couldn't let it go. As soon as she learned that Li Er had reappointed Li Tai as king, she rushed to see Chai Lingwu.

They discussed how to let Li Tai return to Chang'an and compete with Li Chengqian for the throne. Fang Yiai's heart was agitated.

Compared with Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu was not so optimistic. During the days of leisure at home, he finally understood!

The world will eventually belong to the prince, so it's better for him not to get involved. Moreover, even if Li Tai still has the heart to seize the throne, he has no strength to compete with the prince. Your Majesty will not

live for a few years. When the prince ascends the throne, will he let them go? It's better to keep quiet and maybe save their lives.

Chai Lingwu did not answer Fang Yiai, but Fang Yiai never gave up and kept urging Chai Lingwu to join their camp and start over.

"Are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life? Where is your original ambition? Now is our only chance." Fang Yiai said.

"Let me think about this matter again!" Chai Lingwu said.

"Oh! All right! That's all for today, I'm going back first!" Fang Yiai said.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Stay for a while." Chai Lingwu said.

"No! Princess Gaoyang is still waiting for me to go back and serve her! What do you think of this? Good men like you and me have to fall to the point of serving a woman." Fang Yiai said.

Chai Lingwu shook his head after hearing this. He was the same.

Fang Yaoai left Chai Mansion and returned to Fang Mansion. Princess Gaoyang was not in the mansion at this time, but went out to find an opportunity to discuss the philosophy of life.

The news of Fang Yaoai going to Chai Lingwu's mansion reached Li Chengqian's ears at the first time. Li Chengqian just sneered and didn't say anything.

Li Taiyuan was in Taizhou and did not pose much threat to Li Chengqian. Even if he wanted to seize the throne again, it would be useless.

Fang Yaoai and Chai Lingwu, two guys who lost power, could not make any waves.

Now we should suppress Li Zhi's power and kill him in the bud before he grows up.

In the Guangtian Hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian and his ministers gathered together, even his seventh uncle, the King of Han, Li Yuanchang, was there.

"Your Highness! His Majesty has now re-appointed Li Tai as the Prince of Pu. I am afraid that Li Tai's power will make a comeback. Your Highness should make plans early." Zhao Jie said.

This time, it seems to be a simple appointment of the king, but in everyone's mind, it actually has another meaning.

Li Tai's faction feels that they can finally see the sun after the clouds have parted, and their hope has been rekindled.

However, the prince's faction feels that this is a provocation to the Eastern Palace, and even shakes the foundation of the Eastern Palace. As people of the Eastern Palace, they cannot sit idly by and allow Li Tai to revive.

"That's right! Prince, Zhao Jie is right. Li Tai fought with you for the throne and was banished to Taizhou for so many years. He must hate you to the core. This time Li Tai has regained his power and will surely come back. We have to be on guard." Li Yuanchang said.

"Oh! What does the uncle mean?" Li Chengqian asked.

"In my opinion, why don't the prince take over and take down the emperor before Li Tai's party becomes strong, and force the emperor to abdicate the throne to the prince." Li Yuanchang said.

"Right! The King of Han is right." Du He said, "Now the strength of our East Palace is no longer what it used to be. If we want to do something, we will surely succeed."

"Your Highness, just say that you are seriously ill, and the Lord will come to see you in person, so you can achieve your goal."

"I hope your Majesty will become the emperor soon. Recently, I saw a palace maid who is good at playing the pipa on the side of the emperor. After the matter is settled, I hope she will be rewarded." Li Yuanchang was obsessed with the palace maids around Li Er.

Li Chengqian held his forehead with his hand. What kind of people are these? Why are they always thinking about rebellion? Can't they wait a little

longer? Anyway, Li Er will not live for a few years. Li Chengqian knows it, but Li Yuanchang and others don't know it. What's more, they have been waiting impatiently.

Naturally, they urged Li Chengqian to take the risk and take down Li Er in one fell swoop, so that Li Chengqian could ascend the throne as soon as possible and they could benefit from it.

"Li Tai is far away in Taizhou, and there are only Fang Yu'ai and Chai Lingwu in the capital, so he is not worth worrying about. The reason why Your Majesty was able to re-enthrone Li Tai as a king this time is that the King of Jin has made a lot of efforts."

"For Li Tai's party, the King of Jin Li Zhi can be said to have worked hard and made great contributions. Without the King of Jin's mediation, Li Tai would have been a commoner all his life." Li Chengqian said.

This is telling them that the real threat to Li Chengqian is not Li Tai, who was demoted to Taizhou and now was re-appointed as a king,

but Li Zhi, the Prince of Jin, who is in Chang'an City, in the imperial palace, and who freely enters and leaves the palace every day. He is the potential threat.
