It's true that the brothers had conflicts, but their father, Emperor Li Yuan, had always tried his best to suppress and resolve them. How could he have become one of the biggest culprits in their infighting?
Even Shi Feixuan couldn't sit still any longer and said softly, "...Manager, you..."
Chen Yan waved his hand and smiled at Li Yuan, saying, "I'm not making this up when I say you're one of the biggest culprits in their internal strife."
The conflict between the three brothers, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji, is obvious to anyone with eyes.
Some conflicts can be resolved.
Because it is reconcilable.
Some conflicts are irreconcilable, such as the conflict between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, because they were irreconcilable enemies and could not coexist with each other at all!
Any attempt to mediate and force them to coexist peacefully is a grave mistake and will only lead to massive bloodshed!
Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng were shocked. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment.
How come they don't even realize that the two brothers' disagreement over tripe has become irreconcilable?
Chen Yan: "All dynasties have had the rule of establishing the eldest son as the legitimate heir, and your Tang Dynasty is no exception. According to tradition, Li Jiancheng is the next successor without any surprises."
Furthermore, he is kind and composed, and would make a good emperor.
but.
It's a pity, that's the problem.
Li Jiancheng now has a very, very, very outstanding second brother (Zhao Zhaohao)!
His second brother, Li Shimin, was simply too dazzling!
So dazzling that it overshadowed Li Jiancheng, the crown prince, and even Li Yuan, the emperor!
He personally conquered most of the territory of the Tang Dynasty!
He was invincible and turned the tide of life and death crises for the Tang Dynasty on many occasions!
Many people in the Tang Dynasty army and the Tang Dynasty only knew about Prince Qin, Li Shimin, but did not know about Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, or even Emperor Li Yuan!
Because in the eyes of most soldiers and civilians, Li Shimin was the pillar of the Tang Dynasty; only with him could the Tang Dynasty avoid chaos...
Did you hear it?
Do you know why I said the conflict between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was irreconcilable?
Because, without realizing it, they had already stood on the absolute opposite side of the demon.
and.
Each of them is surrounded by extremely large interest groups, or even the global power structure!
Even if they themselves don't want brothers to fight each other or their own flesh and blood to kill each other.
Driven by the situation and the people around them, they too will one day face direct bloodshed!
Bloodshed between them is now inevitable.
Li Yuan, you are indecisive. Given their irreconcilable differences, you actually want to resolve their conflict so easily and let them coexist peacefully.
This is simply absurd, utterly ridiculous, and laughable!
Therefore.
That's why I said, Li Yuan, you, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, are one of the biggest culprits who caused those brothers to kill each other!
Chapter 194 Li Yuan is furious, his son has cheated on him?
Li Yuan was shocked by Chen Yan's words, and his mind went blank.
He stood there dumbfounded, like a piece of rotten wood!
Am I one of the biggest culprits who caused the three brothers, Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuanji, to kill each other?
It sounds impossible at first glance.
But after Chen Yan's analysis, he suddenly had a breakthrough and a great sense of enlightenment.
This sudden realization shocked him, terrified him, and even sent chills down his spine!
His two exceptionally talented sons, driven by the situation and those around them, were like two mad bulls, each charging at the other.
As the one training the cattle, how could I possibly expect them to quiet down and make peace...?
Once a bull is on the track, it won't stop until it has completely destroyed its opponent...
Thinking of this, he was suddenly struck by a wave of realization, followed by shock, guilt, self-reproach, and shame, which added another three thousand points to his mental breakdown...
"Jiancheng, Shimin, Yuanji, your father is so sorry..."
Li Yuan sighed deeply and apologized softly.
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin remained silent, their minds blank, utterly bewildered, completely unaware of the future and where they should go from there...
Li Yuanji, however, was secretly pleased.
According to Chen Yan, the final outcome might have been that Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng would both perish in 773, while he would reap the benefits and eventually become emperor...
"You incompetent wastrel like you, dreaming of becoming emperor? You must be dreaming."
Chen Yan felt contempt.
To elaborate further on the conflicts between Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji…
"After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the powerful enemies around it were eliminated, but the greatest threat came from the internal struggle for the throne."
One side is the Eastern Palace, headed by Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
On the other side was the Tian Ce General's Mansion, headed by Li Shimin.
Both sides are powerful and have countless talented people under their command.
After a series of open and covert struggles, neither side was able to truly suppress the other.
At this time.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji came up with a shortcut.
The shortcut is... whispering in someone's ear.
Pillow talk?
Li Yuan was slightly taken aback, not understanding why.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji suddenly realized something, and their expressions changed drastically!
Seeing their expressions, Chen Yan found it amusing and continued to say to Li Yuan, "Yes, it's all from your pillow talk. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also know that after Empress Dou died, you, who became emperor, were very fond of beautiful women."
Some words, spoken by the beauty beside you in bed, are ten or even a hundred times more effective than those spoken by others!
Therefore, in the future, the two of them will first bribe your most favored concubines, Consort Zhang and Consort Yin, with gold and silver, and persuade them to say things detrimental to Li Shimin to you, Li Yuan..."
"Jiancheng! Yuanji! You...you actually bribed my concubines in order to deal with Shimin?!"
Li Yuan was shocked and furious upon hearing this.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji broke out in a cold sweat. They had only just begun planning this, and Chen Yan already knew about it.
I was deeply shocked.
They completely believed Chen Yan's claim of knowing everything.
"Father, I know I was wrong..."
Faced with Li Yuan's angry shout.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji immediately knelt down and begged for forgiveness.
After all, he was the emperor's biological son, born before he became emperor.
Li Yuan wouldn't really do anything to his two sons because of this.
After they got up, he looked at Chen Yan and asked, "Master Chen, what happened next?"
Li Shimin also clenched his fists, looking very nervous.
I never imagined that my two brothers would do something so despicable just to betray me.
You're asking me what happened next?
Chen Yan looked at Li Yuan with a very peculiar expression on his face.
He first gave Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji a mocking look.
Then, after giving Li Yuan a pitying look, he laughed and said, "What happens next is going to be very exciting."
Li Yuan, you are not young after all, and you have many concubines in your harem. How can you possibly take care of them all?
Consort Zhang and Consort Yin were both beautiful young women, and they were not content to be lonely in the empty palace.
As the two men and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji continued their interactions, their feelings for each other grew stronger, and their relationship, initially based on bribery, gradually evolved into an affair.
The four of them would often engage in group sex in your back while you were away, and they did it in a very fancy way...
You, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have been given two huge green hats.
Tut tut...
She was cheated on twice by her own son.
