Chapter 528 Lobbying the Crown Prince

"Where is the Crown Prince now?" Li Jingxuan asked, holding a eunuch.

"His Highness is in Guangtian Palace right now," the eunuch replied.

Li Jingxuan let go of the eunuch and turned to head towards Guangtian Palace.

The eunuch guarding outside Guangtian Palace saw Li Jingxuan, turned inside and reported to Li Jue.

"This old minister has seen Your Highness!" Li

Jingxuan saluted. "The Grand Tutor is here! Please take a seat! What does the Grand Tutor plan to teach me today?" Li Jue said.

"This old minister came here this time to discuss something with Your Highness." Li

Jingxuan said. "The Grand Tutor is going to tell me about the rebellion of the Eastern Turks! Hasn't this matter been settled? Is there any need to discuss this?" Li Jue said.

"This matter has been determined. There is no point in discussing it any further."

"I want to talk to Your Highness about the matter of Zuo Shuzi Liu Rengui. This time, Xiao Siye was able to become the main general to suppress the rebellion of the Eastern Turks. He has made an indispensable contribution." Liu Rengui said.

What does it mean? Are you here to show off to me that your opponent has surrendered to you and to demonstrate to me? Li Jue thought to himself.

"Isn't this good? Liu Rengui has surrendered to the Grand Tutor. This is really a cause for celebration!" Li Jue said.

"The Crown Prince has misunderstood my meaning. This matter is not worth celebrating. Instead, we should be alert and be more careful." Li Jingxuan said.

"This is a matter between you and Liu Rengui. Is it necessary to tell me?" Li Jue asked in confusion.

"Stupid, the Crown Prince is stupid!" Li Jingxuan slapped his thigh and shouted in a low voice.

"You..." Li Jue pointed at Li Jingxuan angrily, not knowing what to say.

"The prince should know that Hua Dazhi and Li Jingjia are both close to Wu Wang Li Ke, and they are both Wu Wang's accomplices."

"This time, if the army is dispatched to quell the rebellion of the Eastern Turks, once it succeeds, they will all be promoted. By then, the power of Wu Wang will only grow stronger."

"More importantly, Liu Rengui has also defected to Wu Wang Li Ke. You should know that Liu Rengui's power is not small."

"With their powerful alliance, it is hard to say whether the prince can ascend to the throne in the future."

"Think carefully, prince, you and Wu Wang Li Ke have always been at odds. With the grudge between you and Li Ke, can Li Ke let you ascend to the throne?" Li Jingxuan said.

"I am the crown prince, which means I will be the future emperor. As long as my father does not depose me, what can they do to me?" Li Jue said angrily. Li

Jue was unsure whether Li Ke's growing power would threaten his position as crown prince. He knew it well, given the grudge between him and Li Ke.

Li Ke did not want to see him become the emperor, and he would not let Li Ke go when he became the emperor in the future.

But he overlooked one point, that is, his father would not allow any force to be strong enough to threaten the imperial power, let alone allow anyone to influence the emperor's will.

The emperor could allow his ministers to fight each other, because everything was in the emperor's hands.

The emperor would find a balance in their fight to balance them. They could fight, but they could not dominate alone.

Whether it was Li Jingxuan, Li Ke, or Liu Rengui and others, as long as one side dominated the situation, the emperor would suppress it until the balance was restored.

What the emperor wanted was for them to restrain each other, so that he could better control the situation. Everything was under the emperor's control.

"In fact, Your Highness knows in his heart that once Prince Wu's power becomes strong enough, he can influence Your Majesty's will."

"Even if Your Majesty is alive, Li Ke dare not do anything to you, the prince, but what if His Majesty dies?"

"Your Highness, think about why Qin Ershi Hu Hai became the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Maybe the Shaqiu Rebellion will be repeated in the Tang Dynasty in the near future."

"Your Highness, it's true that you are the prince! But don't forget that you are not the emperor. As long as you are not the emperor for a moment, you may never be the emperor." "Your

Highness, the prince, don't forget that the late emperor was not the prince at first, and Emperor Gaozu never thought of deposing the hidden prince Jiancheng, but in the end it was the late emperor who became the emperor."

"Your Highness, you must remember that as long as you have not become the emperor for a moment, there will be unlimited possibilities. You should never let your guard down." Li Jingxuan said.

"Li Jingxuan, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?" Li Jue stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Jingxuan and roared.

The more Li Jingxuan said this, the more scared Li Jue became. He was right. As long as he was not the emperor, there were infinite possibilities.

Don't look at him as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty now. Theoretically, he is second only to the emperor and above ten thousand people. It can be said that he has unlimited glory.

But Li Jue knew in his heart that sitting on the position of the crown prince was not as good as he thought. The crown prince seemed to be only one step away from the emperor.

But this one step away was indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"No, Your Highness, you misunderstood. I am helping Your Highness!" Li Jingxuan said calmly.

"You said you were helping me. Do you really help me like this?" Li Jue questioned.

"Your Highness! I sincerely want to assist Your Highness! That's why I come to see Your Highness at this time! I have no hostility towards Your Highness. Your Highness wants to get rid of King Wu, and only I can help Your Highness!" Li Jingxuan said.

"How are you going to help me? If you want me to trust you, then show your sincerity." Li Jue looked

at Li Jingxuan and said. "I will only tell Your Highness about this matter. I hope Your Highness can allow me to come forward and talk to Your Highness." Li Jingxuan said.

Li Jue looked at Li Jingxuan and said nothing. Li Jue did not speak, and Li Jingxuan did not speak either, but just sipped tea quietly.

He believed that Crown Prince Li Jue would figure it out. If the Crown Prince wanted to keep everything he had, he had to be on the same boat with him.

Therefore, Li Jingxuan was not worried at all, and he had Li Jue in his hands.

Li Jue stretched out his hand and waved to Li Jingxuan, motioning Li Jingxuan to come forward and talk.

Li Jingxuan's mouth corners slightly raised, everything was under his control.

Li Jingxuan stood up and sat down in front of Li Jue.

"Master, can you tell me how you plan to help me?" Li Jue said in a low voice as they faced each other.

"Don't worry, Your Highness! This time, the rebellion in Mo Nan will not be too smooth." Li

Jingxuan said in a low voice. "What do you mean? What did you do to this?" Li Jue questioned.

"That's right! But your highness doesn't need to worry. Only if the rebellion in Mo Nan fails, we can severely inflict damage on King Wu. At that time, the crown prince only needs to report King Wu to your majesty!" Li Jingxuan said. "

I will do this. Xiao Siye is your man. As the chief general, he will definitely be guilty if the rebellion in Mo Nan fails. Do you want to drag him into this?" Li Jue said.

"Prince, you should not be too particular about small matters when doing big things. Sometimes you have to abandon your carriage and guards. As long as you can defeat King Wu Li Ke, what does it matter if you sacrifice Xiao Siye? Your highness, think about it carefully. I'll take my leave!" Li Jingxuan said.

Li Jingxuan stood up and took two steps back, bowed and left Guangtian Hall.
