Chapter 253: The monarch and the minister have different thoughts

In the wait-and-see of many people, Gao Xianzhi, who was recuperating at home, finally wrote to the Son of Heaven, but the content of the book surprised most people. Because not only did he not impeach the crown prince Li Heng, but he even counted the prince's unavoidable feelings and the prince's benevolence and filial piety. The reason why he rebelled against his father was completely because of the coercion of a treacherous person, and he had to do it as a last resort.

Moreover, in the previous book, Gao Xianzhi also put forward for the first time the theory that the former Hantian Qianqiu son made his father a soldier, in order to excuse the prince. Although Gao Xianzhi did not make a real statement on whether the crown prince should be deposed, the true purpose of the above justifications seems to have been revealed.

After the initial shock, the courtiers immediately realized that this would make the Son of Heaven extremely ugly. And with the means and temperament of the Son of Heaven, how could he tolerate the betrayal? You must know that the three brothers who abolished the crown prince were all killed in one day, and they just did not commit any wrongdoings, and the current crown prince Li Heng openly raised an army, which is no worse than his brother, how can the Son of Heaven let him go again?

Gao Xianzhi was undoubtedly working against the Son of Heaven by doing this. However, some people are very excited about this, such as Yang Guozhong and Yu Chaoen.

Although Yang Guozhong has returned to the political hall, his fundamental wish is to be the head of the prime minister, and now he is worried about how to bring down Gao Xianzhi, and he doesn't want Gao Xianzhi to send the handle himself. Now that Gao Xianzhi is openly crying out for the prince, isn't he asking for his own death?

In this regard, Yang Guozhong does not intend to be a bystander, he is ready to give him a ride. But before Yang Guozhong's letter was presented to the Son of Heaven, another news made him even more ecstatic. The Shenwu general Qin Jin even followed Gao Xianzhi and wrote a letter to defend the prince.

The sudden change in things far exceeded Yang Guozhong's expectations, and these two people did not measure their own strength to defend the crown prince Li Heng, who had become half a dead man.

So, Yang Guozhong rushed out another book overnight and decided to put Qin Jin in it.

Just before dawn on the second day, Yu Chaoen unexpectedly came to the door.

After the two met, they looked at each other and smiled, and Gao Qin and the two automatically entered the urn, which was a great opportunity. However, Yu Chaoen's method of dealing with it is slightly different from Yang Guozhong's.

"Don't get involved in this matter, just find a few marginal people to bite people as mad dogs. ”

Yang Guozhong was worried that the marginal characters were humble and light-hearted, and the words they said had no weight, but Yu Chaoen relieved him.

"The Son of Heaven is old, and his mind is very different from that of twenty years ago, and now he is instigating the Son of Heaven to kill his son, but do you know that the Son of Heaven has no regrets?"

This sentence suddenly woke Yang Guozhong up like a hammer and a drum, Yu Chaoen reminded him that it was not wrong, instigating people to kill their sons is against human ethics, and there will be no good end after all. In contrast, Gao Xianzhi and Qin Jin are a bit in line with humanity to do this self-defeating father-son and old man.

"Unexpectedly, this second son of Gao Qin seems to be loyal, but he is also so witty!"

Yu Chaoen snorted and sneered.

"I'm just afraid that they will be clever and mistaken! Xianggong is waiting to see a good show!"

In this regard, Yang Guozhong deeply agreed.

"In this case, Yang is just as the ambassador said, and he is watching from the wall!"

……

Yang Guozhong remained surprisingly silent, only a few inconspicuous petty officials wrote a list of Gao Xianzhi's crimes of collusion with Qin Jin, and even stabbed out the fact that Qin Jin and Shenwu Jun were the initiators of the mutiny.

In fact, the role of the Shenwu Army in this mutiny, the hundred officials knew very well, and the reason why they did not say it was to save some face for the Son of Heaven, and secondly, they did not dare to act rashly before the situation was clear.

The letters of a few insignificant petty officials did not cause much of a stir among the hundred officials at first. After all, the vast majority of people's eyes are on Yang Guozhong, everyone knows that Yang Guozhong and Qin Jin have an indissoluble enmity, as long as he doesn't make a move, it means that he has a cautious attitude towards this matter.

As for those insignificant petty officials, they are just hot-headed people who want to be promoted and want to go crazy, and such people will have to reap the consequences sooner or later.

That night, in the Xingqing Palace, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, was depressed all day, and the palace eunuchs waiting beside him were careful not to make a strange sound. First of all, the Zhongshu Ling and the Shenwu General who were personally appointed defended the prince's grievances, although they were not explicitly pleading, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was not a plea, what was it?

Then, there was the impeachment of the sesame official, which made the face of this son of heaven extremely ugly.

The son steals his father and the soldiers, and commits rebellion, both in public and private, and Li Longji, as the Son of Heaven, cannot be tolerated and appeased. However, in the letter to defend the prince's grievances, Gao Qin and the two of them both proposed explicitly or implicitly that the reason why the prince had such a rebellious act was completely because there were traitors around the Son of Heaven who tried to kill the prince in vain, and the prince had no way to appeal, so in order to protect himself, he had to have the act of the son to get his father's soldiers.

This statement is naturally biased, but it undoubtedly puts the Son of Heaven in an awkward position. There are traitors around the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven is not aware of it, is it not that the Son of Heaven is negligent and incompetent?

This is not counted, those few petty officials with delusions are even more stupid, and openly asked Li Longji to severely punish Gao and Qin, and pointed out that Gao Qin and the two are the prince's party.

If Gao Qin and the two are the prince's party, and the Son of Heaven still promotes and reuses these two, wouldn't he be dizzy?

For the promotion of Gao Qin and the others, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, admittedly had a last resort, but he was slapped twice by someone left and right, and his anger can be imagined.

"Come on, give me all these nonsense people, give me ......"

He wanted to order these fools to be killed. But after thinking about it, I changed my mind again.

"Remove the official and take his post, go to prison, and listen to Hou Yousi's interrogation!"

The disposition of the Son of Heaven made everyone almost fall out of their eyes, and Yang Guozhong was especially glad that thanks to Yu Chaoen's timely reminder, he didn't hit his head and touch his head.

In fact, Yang Guozhong was just a blind eye before, and he couldn't see through the complex state of mind of the Son of Heaven at this moment. In contrast, Yu Chaoen is much more sober.

But in addition to rejoicing, Yang Guozhong was a little frustrated, because the Son of Heaven disposed of the few marginal petty officials who wrote to impeach Gao and Qin, which was equivalent to indirectly showing the government and the opposition that he was determined to protect Gao and Qin.

But if the Son of Heaven wants to protect Gao and Qin, wouldn't he indirectly admit that the prince does have grievances?

For a while, Yang Guozhong couldn't help but be confused, since the mutiny, he found more and more difficult to guess about the thoughts of the old man.

After several psychological struggles, Yang Guozhong still chose to be motionless rather than quiet, since he could not see the true intentions of the Son of Heaven at this time, it was better to remain silent for the time being, wait for the development of the situation, and then deal with it.

In addition, there is also a heart disease, which also makes Yang Guozhong even more restless. Cheng Yuanzhen is like a poisonous snake that may come out at any time, biting him fiercely, and if this hidden danger is not removed immediately, he will not be able to sleep and eat.

"This Du Qianyun, if you don't give him some color, you really don't know Yang's methods!"

Yang Guozhong was very annoyed by the efficiency of Du Gan's athletes, and several days had passed since that conversation, and there was still no news at all. In case Cheng Yuanzhen summoned the two of them to conspire to frame the prince, and then was stabbed by Qin Jin to the Son of Heaven, whether the Son of Heaven believed it or not, this is undoubtedly equivalent to sowing a seed in the heart of the Son of Heaven.

……

Qin Jin's letter, Zheng Xianli had long expected it, in fact, he also felt a headache for Qin Jin's situation, and he was not only unable to extricate himself from the whirlpool of struggle, but also had a tendency to fall deeper and deeper. If this continues, no one knows what the outcome will be.

Zheng Xianli is not a simple martial artist who is ignorant of the world, and he has more or less understood the way of checks and balances of the Son of Heaven. It's just that he can't understand that this kind of check and balance is naturally harmless in the peaceful situation, but at the moment it is internal and external troubles, and there are rebels from An Lushan outside, and it is said that since the beginning of the summer, there have been several fierce battles in the east of Tongguan and Hedong, and the big war may be imminent. Inside, Chang'an has just experienced a mutiny, although the scope of the impact has not been out of the customs, and the old minister of Tongguan has not been affected, but it is extremely destructive to the hearts of the people after all.

On the other hand, the so-called Son of Heaven not only did not solve all difficulties and bridge the hearts of the people, but continued to implement the strategy of making his subordinates check and balance each other and tear each other down. If you are not careful, the elbow and armpit will become a big problem in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Xianli naturally can't stay by Qin Jin's side all the time because he has the official position of the ordnance supervisor, and he has already returned to work as a supervisor two days ago.

During this period, Zheng Xianli suddenly received a letter from Chen Qianli. In the letter, Chen Qianli asked him to persuade Qin Jin no matter what, keep a distance from the crown prince, and even draw a line.

However, it was difficult for Zheng Xianli to judge whether Chen Qianli was doing this for the court or for Qin Jin. It is true that Chen Qianli is a very upright person, but he did not hesitate to betray Qin Jin for the sake of "righteousness", so what is his sincerity in what he is doing now?

Unlike Chen Qianli, Zheng Xianli didn't have so many rules and regulations in his heart, he only knew that he was ordered by Doctor Feng to help Qin Jin. And in the more than half a year of contact, he has also very much identified with Qin Jin's personality. As for the ruthless and selfish Son of Heaven, Zheng Xianli has no good feelings. So if he had to make a choice, he would not hesitate to choose the former!

On the other hand, the current Chen Qianli, although he and Chen Xuanli chose to stand on the side of the Son of Heaven at the last moment, the Son of Heaven did not buy it very much, and it was difficult to keep his position as the commander of the Longwu Army.

Zheng Xianli didn't want Qin Jin to maintain close contact with this person anymore, so he ignored the letter. And soon, he didn't have the heart to investigate Chen Qianli's true thoughts, and sent the prisoner to Ge Shuhan from the Political Affairs Hall, asking to build 10,000 "Divine Arm Bows" within half a month.

This made him smell something unusual, it was absolutely impossible to build 10,000 "Divine Arm Bows" in half a month, but the information behind them made people tremble.
