Chapter 853: Greed for power

After all, Li Yu is a young prince, and An Lushan has been under the protection of his father Li Heng before the rebellion, and he has not suffered any wind and rain. Now that there is no big tree on his head to shield him from the wind and rain, everything has to be faced in person, and he can still deal with all the difficulties with full enthusiasm at the beginning of the catastrophe, but when these difficulties are one after another, and even most of them have no solution and no solution, and after a long period of setbacks, it is inevitable that he will be impetuous, and gradually show the color of decadence.

Therefore, in Cui Lian's view, it may not be a good thing for young people to be too smooth, even as a prince, and now let Li Yu undergo the polishing that must be experienced in his life is also a matter of course, and he can't escape.

is the so-called big waves sweeping the sand, and the fire refining real gold, I am afraid that Li Yu will not be able to pass this hurdle. Among Li Heng's sons, Li Yu is one of the best, with quick thinking, generosity and benevolence, and what is even more rare is the identity of the eldest son, which can be described as the most justifiable eldest son in the Tang Dynasty in a hundred years.

If Li Yu can't get over this hurdle, Cui Lian can hardly imagine what kind of consequences this time will bring. Under the unsettled external troubles, do you still want to let the court fall into the chaos of competing for the crown?

"Your Highness, being born in the emperor's house is an order from heaven, not for enjoyment, if you are the Son of Heaven, you have to carry the world on your shoulders, how can you do such the words of the people in the market?"

Cui Jian has always been Geng Jie, even in the face of the prince, he is outspoken.

Fortunately, Li Yu is an understanding person, and his face turned red, and he said with a smile:

"The lesson of the public is that Li Yu shoulders the heavy burden of the Tang Dynasty, how can he only care about his own feelings?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry. While the two of them were crying, Li Fuguo watched coldly, the prince of Xindao had passed the year of the crown, and his heart was still so impetuous, which was much worse than today's son. In the end, he couldn't help but say:

"The problem that we have to face now is how to reach an agreement with Empress Zhang and leave Dr. Qin as the queen of Luoyang, only in this way can we prevent the situation of relatives from abusing power to reappear in my Tang Dynasty. ”

Cui Jian pondered and said:

"The general might as well probe the queen's tone first, and then you and I will discuss countermeasures!"

Li Fuguo nodded.

"At the moment, there is only one way to do this, and one will go first!"

The wind and fire came and went, Li Fuguo made steady progress after the change of Ma Weiyi, although there is a reason for his luck, but in the final analysis, this person has extraordinary ability and skill.

Watching Li Fuguo's figure disappear outside the door of the political hall, Cui Jian shook his head and sighed, and his face immediately showed a look of worry.

Even Li Yu, who has not yet completely calmed down in his out-of-control emotions, can see that this always strong prime minister is also worried.

"Which side does the prime minister think Li Fuguo will stand on?"

He obviously has a deep wariness of Li Fuguo and others, and he doesn't believe that this ill-intentioned eunuch will cooperate with them in a down-to-earth and sincere manner.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, even if His Royal Highness Li Fuguo has disagreements, he will not be angry with the queen, when Qin Jin left this person, it was to help His Royal Highness restrain the queen's growing ambition!"

Speaking of this queen from the palace Liangdi, Cui Jian thought that he had looked away, when Li Heng was in good health, he was still able to restrain himself, since Li Heng suffered a stroke, Qin Jin led the troops outside, this woman who was not very conspicuous before showed her amazing ambition.

Empress Zhang successively promoted her brother and nephew to key positions, especially her nephew Zhang Jing, who was originally a hundred generals in the Shence Army, and now he is firmly in the position of general, and it only took half a year for such an astonishing promotion.

At first, Cui Jian didn't think that Empress Zhang would have the possibility of succeeding, after all, it was not easy for a hundred people to master an army of tens of thousands of people in just half a year, but this Zhang Jing did it. Therefore, when Empress Zhang sought greater military power for her nephew, Cui Jian could no longer sit in peace, and had to come forward to stop it.

In front of Empress Zhang, there are two stumbling blocks, inside is Li Fuguo's Zuo Wuwei, and outside is Qin Jin's Shenwu Army.

And Li Fuguo is not selfless, the reason why he proposed to use Qin Jin as Luoyang to stay behind is that he does not want Qin Jin to return to Chang'an prematurely. Its purpose is obvious, and there is a bigger plan, Cui Lian is just wondering, what can Li Fuguo rely on to suppress the arrogance of his relatives and ascend to the throne?

No matter what happens next, it is much better to continue to preside over the counterinsurgency with Qin Jin as the queen of Luoyang, and it is much better than letting Zhang's relatives take away this imminent rebellion.

Li Yu said:

"Li Yuyan can not know the painstaking efforts of the minister, but he can emasculate the ambition of the wolf...... At the beginning, why did my father use such traitors?"

He still couldn't help but criticize his father Li Heng, if it weren't for Li Heng's misuse and indecision, how could he let the two ghosts of Zhang and Li Fuguo jump out and cause trouble in national politics?

"The Emperor Taishang used Gao Lishi, and he has been favored for decades, but if it is not the Emperor Taishang's favoritism and promotion, it is really Gao Lishi's loyalty and ability, Li Fuguo, how can he compare with him? Father, the appointment of this person by the Emperor is the biggest mistake!"

Li Yu can blame Li Fuguo unscrupulously, but he can't point the finger at Empress Zhang, who has the identity of a mother-in-law in name after all.

Cui Lian saw Li Yu's frizziness in his eyes and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Li Heng appointed Li Fuguo and supported the Zhang clan, these are not wrong, as the Son of Heaven is not only to appoint the virtuous and use the ability, but more importantly, to control the court situation in a balanced way, and to tilt the government and the opposition with the Qin and Jin meritorious achievements, but all monarchs must support a faction that can compete with them, only in this way can they sit calmly.

Li Yu is still too immature, he has read too many books of sages, and he only sees good and evil in his eyes, but he can't see through things more important than good and evil.

It's just that Cui Lian doesn't want to say these words, and he can't say them. Qin Jin is bent on supporting the society, if he planted an untimely seed in Li Yu's heart, wouldn't he be a villain?

Only in this way, everything can only be understood by Li Yu himself, which is also the ability and quality necessary for an heir to the throne.

"Your Highness just needs to remember that there is a reason for reusing eunuchs, but if you can't send and receive them freely, it will be a disaster for the country!"

Li Yuhu asked rhetorically:

"Since it will bring disaster to the country, why do you knowingly commit it?"

This made Cui Jian stunned for a moment, and he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to say:

"The political situation is like a chess game, how can there always be enough room to fight?

Hearing this, Li Yu was silent and thoughtful.

……

Luoyang, compared to Chang'an, which is sitting on the stove, is a high autumn atmosphere here, several consecutive autumn rains swept away the heat, and several government orders and military orders of the Shenwu Army were issued, and the officials and people of Luoyang collectively fell into an unprecedented excitement.

Those who serve in the army from good families are treated preferentially, and those who donate family wealth can also be exempted from conscription according to the corresponding proportion. Among them, if there are children of official eunuchs, or those who are under the shade will be promoted to the throne.

In this way, even those who are dissatisfied are very rare, and both the government and the people have taken out real money in exchange for the birth qualifications that they have been pursuing hard in this peaceful year.

In just a few days, almost the entire city of Luoyang was mobilized, and the period of the Northern Expedition seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"This is the sale of official positions, everyone is promoted to the position of the person with more money, who will be the first to study hard to make a career in the imperial examination?

Fang Xuan was indignant, wiped it and stomped his foot heavily.

"Drink to quench your thirst, the doctor thinks twice!"

Qin Jin smiled and said:

"It's just a special event, and it won't become a rule, this is also the most suitable way to unite the people's hearts in a short period of time!"

"I have only heard of educating herdsmen, but it is rare to use such a method of inducement, as long as a precedent is opened, there will be a second and third time, as long as there is an intractable dilemma, it will be used again and again, until it becomes a precedent, and it is used as a rule......

Qin Jin couldn't find enough reasons to persuade Fang Xuan for a while, strictly speaking, this is selling the official mantle, but this is also the only means that can mobilize the officials and people of Luoyang. Let him choose again, and he will not hesitate to make this choice.

"If Xianggong has the best of both worlds, Qin can take back his fate!"

"This ......"

threw the "ball" back, but Fang Xuan couldn't take it, where did he have a more suitable way, and after analysis, he knew the stakes of it, so he had to sigh:

"The old man has become the doctor's accomplice today, and I don't know what a traitor he will become in the future under the pen of the historian!"

Unlike the people of the time, Qin Jin regarded the empty thing as the name behind him very lightly.

"If we can calm the chaos and stabilize the world, even if we are scolded, what will happen? Today's disadvantages are for emergency relief, and even if you and I cannot recover in the future, there will always be talented and virtuous people......

This is to say that on the surface, in fact, his real thoughts are that people are dead and they can't hear a few words of scolding anyway, so what does it matter? Whoever likes to scold can scold.

Fang Xuan was speechless again, he never expected that Qin Jin had already detached himself to such a point that he didn't even care about the name behind him, and he asked himself if he was far inferior to him, so he sighed and said:

"That's it, the old man still has urgent ...... to deal with."

Watching Fang Xuan, who was gradually getting old, staggered away, Qin Jin breathed a sigh of relief, he still underestimated the principles of the corporal doctor at the time, even Fang Xuan, an old fritter who had been in the sea for decades, had a bottom line that could not be touched.

Suddenly, an officer of the army came in in at a rapid pace.

"Doctor, Chang'an Secret Report!"

Qin Jin took the copper tube sealed with the wax seal from the hands of the military officials, and after patting the wax seal, he pulled out a roll of parchment from it. After unfolding, he only read a few lines, and his face gradually became gloomy, Empress Zhang was so insatiable, it was not enough to seize the military power of the Shence Army, and she actually wanted to seize the military power of the Shenwu Army, is this a little too whimsical!

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qin Jin's mouth, if you want to seize the military power of the Shenwu Army, you have to pass Li Fuguo's level first, and see which of them can fight whom.
