Chapter 657: Tang Xuanzong's thoughts

The prince smiled and said, "If you two are good at judging the situation, can you still end up being degraded?"

There was a slight contempt in the conversation.

Murong Bingweng, who was next to him, said angrily: "It's just because we know too many things that we have been degraded for a reason." ”

"Since you say that you are good at judging the situation and figuring out your intentions, then tell me why my father is so unkind to me during this time. The prince asked in a deep voice.

Tong Yangsheng and Murong Bing pondered for a while and said: "Because the villain is a monster, there is a knot in the emperor's heart, if this knot can't be untied, he won't want to see you for the rest of his life." ”

"The villain is a monster, I believe this, but I don't know what the knot in my father's heart is. The prince thought for a moment and said.

"Well, I'm going to ask the prince yourself, when did you think about when you were rejected by the emperor? Murong Bing prompted.

This hint is in place, and it suddenly reminds the prince of his flirtation with Princess Shou.

"Could it be that the ideal candidate for the crown prince in my father's heart is King Shou, otherwise why would he defend King Shou everywhere?" The prince muttered in a low voice.

"What you think is too one-sided, the matter of Shouwangfu is just an introduction, now you are under the enemy's back, and more than 20 brothers are all peeping at the throne, and they all want to pull you off the horse, do you know?" Tong Yangsheng said.

"I know this, but although I make small mistakes and big mistakes, I don't, how can they bear me?" The prince said disappreciatively.

"Some ginseng you buy and sell officials, some ginseng you bully men and women, and some ginseng you flirt with the princess, and even ginseng you once said that the emperor is old and faint---"

Tong Yangsheng walked in the study and knew things that so many princes could not know, which made the prince suspicious, and he blurted out: "Tong Yangsheng, your hand is too long." ”

Seeing this, Xue Qian laughed: "Can these two people still use it?"

"Yes!" The prince calmed himself down for a moment, nodded and said.

"Now the court and the court are against you, and only if we join forces can we fight against them. Shan Fangyin, the secretary of the military department, said bewildermently.

"The power of heaven is unpredictable, the prince, you should understand in your own heart, you are now in the midst of storms, there is a possibility of being pulled off the horse at any time, you are now in the way of the emperor's eyes, and you don't know how to save the emperor's heart, if there is no support from us, how long do you think you can hold out? Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling has protected you twice, and now he himself is difficult to protect, do you think it is possible to enter the Zongren Mansion in the future?" Xue Ru hit the nail on the head and pointed at the crown prince Li Ying.

Su Tong, who had been paying attention to the situation in the Prince's Mansion, was a little confused when he heard this.

"What happened to Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling?" She asked.

"It's going to be degraded. I said casually.

Su Tong picked up a fairy peach and took a bite, and asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"You watch what is happening in the imperial city every day like watching a TV series, why don't you care about Zhang Jiuling?" I looked at her puzzled.

"Recently, I have only followed the prince to see the customs of the city, and I have ignored the affairs of the court. Su Tong sneered.

"You also went to visit the Qinglou yourself, right?" I glanced at her and said.

"Just look at it, look at it. Su Tong said.

"You see, when you go to the Qinglou for a big girl, you are not afraid of being left behind. I nodded at her forehead and said hatefully.

"Let's talk about Zhang Jiuling, let's talk about Zhang Jiuling first. Su Tong changed the subject.

"Zhang Jiuling is indeed a good person, but the bad thing is that he doesn't know people clearly, does what he thinks is right, and likes to stick to the end. I said.

"Oh, what happened to make you say that about him?" Su Tong asked puzzled.

After experiencing the abolition of the crown prince, Tang Xuanzong was already a little disgusted with Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling's meddling in his own private affairs. I wanted to replace Zhang Jiuling, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

After careful consideration, he fell in love with the cattle cyclamen envoy of the Hexi Jiedu, who dared to act boldly and made remarkable political achievements. The only regret is that the official position is too low, and it is inconvenient to be promoted all at once. Tang Xuanzong had the intention of borrowing the hand of Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling to pull Niu Xianke into the ranks of politicians.

He lowered his posture and discussed with Zhang Jiuling that he wanted to promote Niu Xianke as the secretary.

Zhang Jiuling's political sensitivity is very high, he took a look at Niu Xianke's resume, immediately realized the crisis, and resolutely expelled dissent: "Shangshu has the right to directly make suggestions to the emperor, and can influence the emperor's decision-making. ”

Although this excuse sounded like that, it was not without precedent, but Tang Xuanzong did not insist on it anymore. But he still admired the cow cyclamen very much, and wanted to fight for him again, so he asked: "The ox cyclamen has made great achievements, I can only add him a knighthood, right?"

When these words were asked, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji himself felt that this emperor was too aggrieved, and everything was checked and balanced by the prime minister, which was too cowardly.

Unexpectedly, this proposal was still resolutely opposed by Prime Minister Zhang Jiuling: "Throughout the ages, the knighthood has always been a reward for meritorious service, Niu Xianke led the border generals to enrich the warehouse, and repairing the equipment only did what he did, and it was his duty to do it well, and if he didn't do it well, it was his dereliction of duty, and it was not considered meritorious, so he could not be knighted." If the emperor wants to reward him for his hard work, he can reward him with some gold, silver and jewelry, or divide some land, but he can definitely not be knighted. ”

Hearing this, Tang Xuanzong's heart turned upside down, very uncomfortable, but it was not good to have a seizure in person, he waved his hand at Zhang Jiuling and said: "Lord Zhang is tired after talking for so long, you go back first, let me think about this matter again." ”

Zhang Jiuling left, but the anger in Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's heart had nowhere to go.

"Go and call Li Linfu over!" Tang Xuanzong shouted.

Li Linfu came, trotting all the way.

"The Emperor's ---!"

Li Linfu first peeked at the emperor's face, noticed that something was not right, and called out to the emperor in a low voice.

"It's coming----" Tang Xuanzong didn't move after greeting, his eyes looked out the window and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The emperor summoned Weichen over, I don't know why?" Li Linfu asked cautiously.

"There is a person who has been reported recently, and I want to promote him, but I am worried about causing dissatisfaction among the ministers. Tang Xuanzong Li Longji said.

"The emperor is talking about cow cyclamen?" Li Linfu made a correct judgment wisely.

Hearing this, Li Longji immediately took Li Linfu as a confidant and asked, "It is this person, does Master Li also think that this person is worthy of a great responsibility?"
