Chapter 552
Brothers talk
After drinking Li Yu's glass of water, Li Yu felt the scorching and painful chest soothed a little, and his itchy throat became much more comfortable.
He smiled and said, "This glass of water from Seventeenth brother is so sweet!"
As he spoke, he handed the empty teacup to Hu Wei and said to Li Yu: "I don't know when it started. The rumor that the Seventeenth brother was unjust and respected his troops suddenly arose in the capital. Many ministers in the court believed it true. In order to appease the hearts of the people, the elder brother... could only summon you back to the capital. The seventeenth brother wouldn't blame the elder brother, right?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I can understand the difficulties of my brother."
Li Ju Youyou sighed and said, "The kings have been in the capital for so many years, and the forces they have cultivated are intricate and deeply rooted.
This time, they are using all means to provoke the brotherhood between you and me."
Speaking of this, Li Ju couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
This is the legacy left to him by the father!
During his lifetime, when the father was born, he was reluctant to use tough measures to make the kings return to his fiefdom.
This led to the king's confidants spread all over the capital, and now the mess can only be cleaned up by oneself.
Li Ju looked at Li Yu and continued, "A Wei Ying has made it difficult for the kings to deal with! If the Seventeenth brother led another 500,000 troops to join the ranks of suppressing the rebellion, the kings would definitely face great disaster.
Therefore, at the moment of life and death, the kings had no choice but to show the nails they buried in the capital and in the court!"
Li Yu looked at Li Ju with his eyes lit up.
Although my elder brother is sick now, in fact, he is very clear-headed and his heart is like a mirror.
Li Ju said again: "In the next few days, if anyone attacks the Seventeenth brother in the court, then he will most likely be the Eighth King! This time, the eldest brother summoned the Seventeenth brother back to Beijing, one to stabilize the people's hearts and calm the rumors. The second is to make these nails appear and then pull them out one by one!"
Li Yu felt admiration.
The eldest brother is worthy of being the prince for so many years. With the skills of power and political struggle, the Eight Kings may not be able to beat the eldest brother!
Li Yu nodded and said, "What brother wants to do, I will cooperate with you with all my strength!"
Li Ju smiled and raised his hand.
Seeing this, Li Yu immediately reached over.
Li Ju held Li Yu's hand and said, "Brother's body is getting worse every day. I really don't know when I'll fall asleep and I can never wake up again!"
Hearing this, Li Yu held Li Ju's hand and choked and said, "Brother, don't say such things!"
Li Ju suddenly changed his mind and asked, "Seventeenth brother thinks, who among the elder brother's descendants can be the best?"
Li Guan, who followed Li Yu and Hu Wei secretly, just walked at the door of the bedroom and suddenly heard this sentence.
He was shocked and subconsciously looked around.
Fortunately, there was no one around, and the closest Yulin Guard was all away more than ten steps away, so I shouldn't hear the voices in the bedroom.
Li Guan walked to the side of the door silently.
It seemed that he was standing outside the door waiting, but in fact he was pricking his ears and listening carefully to the conversation inside.
Li Yu was shocked by Li Ju's words.
My brother asked what this meant?
Is it difficult to establish a new crown prince?
Whether to establish a chief or a wise man has always been a difficult problem for the ancient imperial family.
Li Yu didn't have any good suggestions on this matter.
Li Yu smiled at Li Ju, shook his head and said, "Brother is too arrogant to me."
"Just treat it as your brother and I talk about family matters, but it's okay."
"Actually, I know very little about my nephews, and it's really hard to make arbitrary judgments."
Li Yu sighed secretly.
You must not be involved in the matter of establishing a crown prince.
Looking at the entire history of China, I don’t know how many capable ministers and generals have just been punished for establishing a crown prince.
Therefore, you can participate in everything, but only by storing things independently, you can't even touch them.
Li Ji asked: "Seventeenth brother thinks, what about the prince?"
Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I think the prince is very good."
“Where’s the best place?”
"A kind heart!"
In fact, Li Yu and Li Guan did not have much contact, and most of his evaluation of Li Guan was based on Li Guan's reputation.
Li Ju shook his head with a wry smile.
He knows his own son best.
He said quietly: "Zi Shuo is always hesitant when encountering things, and often cannot distinguish right from wrong.
Being the crown prince can still be a good candidate, but once he ascended the throne, he may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility!"
His words were too heavy.
Not to mention that Li Yu's face changed drastically, even Li Guan, who was standing at the door eavesdropping, had a pale face, and a layer of sweat beads the size of beans oozing out of his forehead.
He never knew that he was so unbearable in his father's mind.
Even in the eyes of my father, when he succeeds to the throne, he may not even be able to defend the great Zhou dynasty...
Li Guan's body trembled involuntarily, and his hands hidden in his wide cuffs slowly clenched into fists.
Li Yu cleared his throat unnaturally and comforted him: "Brother is too worried!"
Li Ju couldn't help but sigh.
In Li Guan, he could not find the killing decision of his father and even his seventeenth brother.
Even compared with the kings such as Li Lie, he is far inferior.
Once Li Guan ascended the throne, what would happen in the court and what would happen in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Li Ju dared not imagine.
He held Li Yu's hand firmly and said, "Actually, I have a responsibility to do this because Zishuo is like this.
I have always protected him so well, and have never experienced storms or setbacks. But in the imperial family, this kind of protection is actually harming him..."
Speaking of this, Li Ju's eyes were wet and red.
Li Yu lowered his head and to be fair, he thought Li Guan was still good.
On the contrary, my elder brother is too excited about Li Guan.
Li Ju was silent for a long time and suddenly said, "Seventeenth brother, if one day, I will be gone..."
"Brother!"
"Listen to me! I mean if! If one day, I am gone and Zishuo will ascend the throne. If he really is difficult to become a great man, you can replace him!"
When Li Yu heard this, his eyes flashed.
He stared at Li Ji blankly, without reacting for a moment.
It’s not that Li Yu was knocked out by this sudden big pie, but that he was muttering in his heart, Big Brother, what are you and I here to entrust the orphans in Baidi City?
Li Guan is not Liu Chan! I am not Zhuge Liang, either!
You and my brother, do you have to tie me up with such words?
Li Yu was very unhappy about Li Ju’s words.
At the same time, Li Guan, who was standing at the door of the room, had a dark face as if it was the bottom of a pot.
What does Father mean?
He doesn't want to pass the throne to himself?
Instead, I want to pass the throne to Uncle Seventeen?
Could it be that I am not the father’s son?
Li Guan's head buzzed, feeling his head heavy and his feet light, and Venus appeared in front of him.
He quickly raised his hand and held the door frame, not letting his crumbling body fall down.
Li Yu said seriously: "Brother, I have never wanted to compete with the prince for the throne!"
Li Yu saw that Li Yu was very unhappy.
He said meaningfully: "Seventeenth, the Great Zhou is the world of our Li family. As long as our Li family can defend the Great Zhou dynasty and firmly sit in the Great Zhou dynasty, no matter who is the emperor, the eldest brother can accept it!"
After a moment of pause, Li Ju said again: "Brother is talking about the heart!"
