Chapter 467: Shocking the king

Wei Fangjin silenced Chen Xilie with a word, and let him find fault with it, if he really had to be responsible for the livelihood of everyone in the city, it would be absolutely impossible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe current situation is like a lice on the monk's head, and if you want to feed the people who have lost their property in the civil unrest, the only way to do so is to let the rich people in the city take out their own food to relieve them. And doing so is tantamount to offending the most powerful group of people in the city, isn't it because of the criticism that Qin Jin suffered at this time?

After all, the nobles in the city didn't care about what kind of private and wartime control Qin and Jin engaged in, but if these two points violated their own interests, it would be a different matter.

Chen Xilie understood the root of the contradiction, so he just criticized Qin Jin in front of the prince in public. After all, it is impossible for the prince to offend all the nobles in the city for Qin Jin alone, right? However, he still underestimated the prince's support and trust in Qin Jin.

Li Heng not only clearly rebuked Chen Xilie's words, but even frankly said that Qin Jin was standing behind him, and whoever wanted to move Qin Jin's finger would move him Li Heng.

The weight of this sentence is as straight as tearing his face, and it is unique to Li Heng, who has always been gentle and elegant. When Chen Xilie heard the prince's resolute words, he gasped in shock, and involuntarily took half a step back.

"The old minister is loyal, the sun and the moon can be learned!"

Only with tears in his eyes to show his loyalty, Li Heng's attitude also softened, and comforted:

"The old minister is loyal, Li Hengquan sees it in his eyes, and I hope that the old minister will fully support Li Hengcai!"

Chen Xilie wiped the muddy tears in the folds of his old face, and said in a loud voice:

"The old minister must do his best, and then die!"

Li Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, and said three good words in a row.

Everyone in the palace talked about it, and they all felt that what Chen Xilie did today was too ugly, who didn't know the importance of Qin Jin in the Chang'an defense battle, and now it was clear that the chariot and horse were going to kick people, and they wanted to pull the prince into the water, isn't this crazy?

As a result, Wei Fangjin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Xilie was so confused, even if he made a comeback, how could he pose a threat to himself? He even hoped that Chen Xilie would continue to be confused in a high-profile manner, and then try Qin Jin's thunderous methods.

Since Ma Wei's mutiny, he has thoroughly known Qin Jin, and secretly warned himself that he should not be embarrassed by anything in the future, and even actively cooperate with him, otherwise there will be a long list of people who will become his own example, and the most important person among them is Li Longji, who is today.

However, he also had a hunch that Li Longji would gradually withdraw from the power center of the Tang Dynasty after Ma Wei's change, and it has been difficult to determine whether he will be replaced by the crown prince or Qin Jin.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Qin Jin, who was loyal to public opinion, stayed silent as if he had nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, Qin Jin's eyes emitted a scorching light, and he said loudly:

"The minister thinks that His Royal Highness will be the emperor when he is in danger at this time, and only the new monarch can inspire the hearts of the people in the world, and the recovery of the two capitals will not become an empty talk!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence, except for the minister's rapid and varying gasps.

Just now, Wei Fangjin also felt that Qin Jin had offended most of the nobles in the city, and the gains outweighed the losses, after all, if the Shenwu Army wanted to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an, it would definitely not be able to do without these people. Now he was suffocated again, and even his thinking stopped. Let the crown prince Li Heng succeed to the throne at this time, wouldn't that be to abolish the current son, and then have a honorific title with him, and become a titular emperor?

You must know that Li Longji has been the Son of Heaven for more than 40 years and has always been known for his strength, and Li Heng has been suppressed by the Son of Heaven under various pretexts for more than ten years as the prince, and he was even on the verge of being deposed several times. Who would have thought that this cowardly-looking prince would one day seize power with his own hands.

At the same time, Wei Fangjin even threw himself into the five bodies that Qin Jin admired, and such a bold idea was only something that this person could think of and put forward in public. As long as Li Heng agrees, Qin Jin's initiative is indispensable.

After the initial shock, several important ministers in the palace echoed Qin Jin's statement.

"The ministers respectfully ask His Highness to take the throne of the emperor!"

Not only was he listed as an important minister, but even Li Heng was stunned by Qin Jin's sudden suggestion, and he looked at the important minister who was kneeling at his feet, and his heart was surging. But deep in his heart, there was another voice that kept reminding him.

"Li Heng, Li Heng, this is the first step, don't be fooled by the desire for profit......"

"The Son of Heaven is in good health, how can Li Heng He De be the emperor?

In order to express his resoluteness in his resignation, Li Heng didn't even stop Qin Jin to explain further, and left without even saying hello.

Seeing this, the eunuch Li Fuguo hurriedly trotted and chased after him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, walk slowly, be careful......"

Leaving only the important ministers stunned, Chen Xilie glared at Qin Jin, snorted heavily between his noses, and walked away. The rest of the ministers who had a general relationship with Qin and Jin also left, and only Wei Fangjin and Cui Guangyuan came up.

"Is Qin Envoy confident that he will persuade His Highness to succeed to the throne early?"

Qin Jin didn't answer the question.

"The current situation is not whether Qin is sure to persuade His Highness to succeed to the throne, but that His Highness must succeed to the throne as soon as possible, if it is too late, I am afraid that the situation in Chang'an will be unfavorable!"

"So serious?"

Cui Guangyuan was surprised. Wei Fangjin also looked incredulous. Qin Jin and the two of them walked out of the main hall one after another, and explained why they said this.

"The Son of Heaven hunted Shuzhong in the west, and Shuzhong had a difficult road with Guanzhong, and it took months for the news to come and go. If His Royal Highness is not the emperor, I am afraid that some people may not be willing to obey orders. If he succeeds to the throne, the situation is very different, and it is justified to promote anyone, but if anyone does not obey, it is a violation of the edict......"

"The king's words are reasonable, after all, His Royal Highness is rarely involved in the government, I am afraid that some people will be as they say, the yang is against the yin, Cui is willing to join the envoy to ask His Royal Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible. ā€

Qin Jin was noncommittal, but Wei Fangjin on the side said:

"The old man thinks that His Royal Highness's temperament has always been bad at hypocrisy, if you don't want to, even if we say the flowers, we may not be willing to do it! I'm afraid we have to think about it in the long run......

Wei Fangjin is the best at figuring out people's hearts, which is not much different from Qin Jin's estimate, so he has to sigh lightly.

"It's too late to think about it in the long run, and you have to think of a solid reason, so that Your Highness can't refuse!"

Wei Cui and the others are at a loss, if they can convince the prince by lip service, is this too child's play?

However, if this kind of words came from the mouth of others, Wei Cui and the others would definitely laugh at it, but it was very different from the mouth of Qin Jin, everyone knew that this person would do what he said, and he had never broken his word, since he thought that he could come up with a solid reason to make the prince change his mind, it would definitely not be without purpose.

But after careful questioning, Qin Jin just shook his head, and didn't say what he had in mind.

……

The East Palace was originally the residence of the crown prince, but now it has become the residence of the princes, grandsons and princesses and county lords. Suddenly, so many people lived in it, making the always spacious East Palace seem a lot more crowded.

After all, the princes, grandsons and princesses and county lords from time to time ordinary palace servants, under the arrangement of the division, according to the order of status from high to low, each person can be divided into a room to live, or two or even several people live in a room, so that the palace callers are also in order from high to low, each person can be assigned to a palace maid or eunuch, and even several people share a palace maid or eunuch.

Insect Niang has been named Princess Shou'an before, and her status is not low, according to the rules set before, she is naturally qualified to have a room and a palace caller.

"Princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to deliver today's meal again......"

The assigned palace maid and insect girl were still very rusty, and said timidly.

At this time, the insect girl washed off the dust, wore palace clothes, and the black and thin boy who looked like a beggar had been judged to be like two people, although the clothes were much simpler than usual, and they did not apply powder, but they were still beautiful and elegant.

The insect girl frowned slightly and asked:

"The food in the East Palace, according to the rules, how many times a day should it be distributed?"

"If you go back to the princess, we will distribute it twice a day, but we can only eat one meal a day, and we only have a bowl of brown rice......"

The insect lady rolled her eyes, looked at the palace maid, and asked again:

"Which princess did you serve before?"

"Before the slave maid came to the princess, she served the three county lords, and the county lords only had a bowl of brown rice every day, and they were hungry every day......

The palace maid saw that the insect lady spoke softly, and she was much bolder, and said a lot of complaining words.

The insect girl seemed to be thoughtful, and said softly:

"I heard that there is a shortage of food in the city, and I want to come to the East Palace as well, and the food saved will be supplied to the army. ā€

The palace maid hurriedly said:

"The princess has a good heart and thinks about the big picture, but this is not the case. Princess Lecheng, who is responsible for distributing food and clothing, has wine and meat for a meal, and hot tea and soup in the afternoon to ward off the cold...... There are also many princesses and county lords who are also treated like this......"

"Why is that?"

"Didn't you compliment her, those who gave gifts ate and dressed well, and those who didn't pay attention to them were cold and starved?"

The palace maid's words seemed to be unable to be contained, "Actually, who doesn't want to eat well and dress well, and the gold and silver around them have long been lost when they fled, where is there anything to make a meeting gift......?"

After that, the palace maid looked at the gold and jade ornaments on the insect girl's body again, these were all sent privately by the prince, and they were much better than the coarse cloth clothes assigned to her.

"Since the princess has a surplus, why don't you send some to the greedy one, it's better than being hungry......"

The insect girl smiled, and asked the palace maid again:

"I have my own way, I don't give gifts, but I can also make those who are greedy for money obediently send two meals a day, as well as hot tea and soup......"

When the palace maid saw that the insect girl learned to say that Princess Lecheng was greedy for money, she thought it was funny, and she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh......
