Datang: Eight-year-old general

Chapter 577 Li Heng's Conspiracy

Li Heng sat calmly on the carriage, wrapped in fur, the wind and snow outside seemed to have no effect on him.

Looking at San Mu in front of him, and the other two confidants asked, "How do you think this king should choose?"

Neither affirmed Sanmu's words nor denied his words.

He needs more reasons, or other ideas, to decide what he should do to escape this time.

"His Royal Highness." A confidant on Li Heng's left hand clasped his fists hesitantly and said, "This subordinate believes that we should walk close to His Majesty. After all, His Majesty is still alive and is the master of Datang."

"If we abandon His Majesty at this time, and wait for His Majesty to escape from the hands of the traitor An Lushan, then His Highness will forever lose the qualification to be on the Dragon Throne."

"Well, Shouren, your words are reasonable." After Li Heng heard the words, he nodded in agreement, but he still didn't fully agree. Instead, he focused his attention on a confidant of You Ze.

He asked, "Liu He, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, forgive me for arrogating you." Liu He's eyes showed a cold light, "Shouren's words are not wrong, but I think it will not be so easy for Your Highness to ascend to the Dragon Throne."

"Your Majesty is old now, but his body is still healthy, and he was able to survive the two illnesses safely."

"Never let His Highness supervise the country."

"This makes the subordinates have to wonder if His Majesty is waiting, waiting for the imperial concubine to give birth to the dragon seed, and then make the imperial concubine's heir the crown prince!"

"Otherwise, if An Lushan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty this time, His Majesty should give His Highness a chance to show off his ability to put down the rebel An Lushan."

"But His Majesty didn't. Instead, he took His Highness with him, but didn't arrange any important tasks. Could it be that His Highness has no doubts?"

"Impossible!" Li Heng was asked back by Liu He, and immediately denied, "Then if Yang Yuhuan can really conceive a dragon, do you think there will be no movement in these years?"

"If my guess is correct, then Yang Yuhuan is not fertile, or my father is already unable to give birth."

"So this point can be completely denied!"

"And in Chang'an City, apart from my palace, the rest of the princes are either dead or staying in their respective fiefs. If they want to compete with this palace, they have lost the upper hand!"

Although Li Heng denied it so much, the hands that were covered in his sleeves clenched tightly into fists, obviously believing Liu He's words.

Could it be that his father really had such a plan?
But thinking about it, it doesn't seem unreasonable. Everyone in the world knows that his father loves Yang Yuhuan very much.

"Your Highness, even so, with His Majesty around, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for His Highness to ascend the throne." Liu He said in a low voice.

If anything he said leaked out, he, Liuhe, would be wiped out by Li Longji!

This is why Li Heng believes in Liu He so much.

Because in his eyes, Liuhe is like Wei Zheng in Taizong's time, who dared to say things that the people around him did not dare to say.

"Liu He, what exactly do you want to say, just say it bluntly. You used to be not as tactful as you are now."

Liu He reminded himself twice that it was difficult to get the position, which made Li Heng smell Liu He, and it seemed that he still had something to say.

"Your Highness is wise." Liu He continued with a slightly condensed expression, "Since His Highness has seen through it, then this subordinate will speak out boldly."

"This time His Majesty's escape is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity for His Majesty."

"As long as His Royal Highness obtains the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and forces His Majesty to write down the decree of succession, His Highness will become the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

"What!" Li Heng was shocked, his eyes fixed on Liu He, as if he knew Liu He again.

Knowing that Liu He is bold, he never thought that he would be so bold!
Not only Li Heng, but even San Mu and Shou Ren were stunned, their eyelids twitched violently.

The two of them never had this idea.

Liu He also knew that his words startled the three of them, and continued, "Your Highness, did you forget Taizong's Xuanwu Gate change?"

"Your Majesty is now in disarray with the imperial concubine obsessed with it, and the people are oppressed by officials from all over the country. The entire Tang Dynasty is going downhill."

"If this continues, An Lushan's rebellion is just the beginning."

"Your Highness, you must be clear that the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty is Tang Wang Li Yi. If he wants to proclaim himself emperor, when he ascends to the top, nearly [-]% of the people in the world will raise their hands to support him."

"But now, taking advantage of the Anlu Mountain turmoil, and taking advantage of the fact that the king of Tang is far away overseas, and his soldiers are hidden away, and cannot touch the interior of the Tang Dynasty, it is the right time for His Highness to rise."

"The Tang Dynasty has gone through wind and rain, and it seems to be strong, but in fact it is rotten internally. It needs the new emperor to clean up the corruption and decontamination, and become strong again."

"Your Highness, please think more about Datang."

"Liu He." After hearing Liu He's words again, Li Heng's expression was a little moved, but he said fearfully, "Although your words are reasonable, but have you ever thought that there are only a thousand personal guards around me?"

"However, there are [-] soldiers by my father's side. How can I win my father and let him be in this palace?"

"Also, Anlu Mountain behind us is chasing after us. Sooner or later, even if this palace succeeds, how can we resist Anlu Mountain's army?"

"In the end, isn't all this done to make a wedding dress for An Lushan? This palace will also get the notoriety of killing my father and seizing the throne!"

Li Heng is not stupid, if he can't see through the current situation, then he is not qualified to sit on the crown prince.

He has met several princes, and after being framed because of the courtiers' power struggle, his father was cruel to kill him.

In particular, the last time his elder brother, King Qing Li Cong forced the palace to seize the throne, and died miserably under the sect of Chongxuan.

Every time he thinks about it, it seems like it was yesterday.

"Your Highness is worrying too much." Seeing Li Heng moved, Liu He smiled confidently, "Your Highness didn't ask His Highness to take action at this time."

"And besides this plan, there is another plan for His Highness to choose."

"The rebel An Lushan is a threat, but it is not an easy task to take down His Majesty."

"As long as His Majesty passes Maweipo tonight and enters the edge of Jiannan's territory, His Majesty can definitely ask Jiannan Jiedushi to send troops to rescue him."

"But Jiannan Jiedu Envoy Yang Tingyu seems to be a cousin of His Highness's natal family. If Yang Tingyu can be recruited, His Highness' dragon position will be within easy reach?"

"Even if Yang Tingyu doesn't cooperate, His Highness can definitely ask His Majesty for a decree. He can go to Jiuyuan Mansion to lead Guo Ziyi's soldiers to conquer the rebel Anlu Mountain for His Majesty."

"Among them, Your Highness can take Guo Ziyi and the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Mansion under his command, no matter how chaotic the Tang Dynasty will be in the future, since His Highness has an orthodox name and strong soldiers in hand, who would dare to despise His Highness? "

"Then Tang Wang Li Yi has the prestige and power he has today, isn't it because the soldiers in his hands are sharp and make people tremble when they hear it?"
