Chapter 220: The New Tang Emperor Ascends the Throne
Since that outbreak, the relationship between the father and son of the Tang Emperor has become increasingly tense, and the Tang Emperor himself can no longer govern in person, so he lifted the former prince and several other sons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As if to demonstrate to Li Lang, the Tang Emperor promoted the former crown prince to a prince, not to mention, but often gave words of comfort and gifts, while other adult sons were also divided, although there was no actual fief, but the number of private soldiers and guards increased.
Moreover, Emperor Tang also added official positions to his sons, which undoubtedly allowed them to occupy more weight in the court in order to compete with Li Lang, so for a while, the Tang court could be said to be a miasma, and it was not good to annoy the crown prince Li Lang.
Because the situation in the Later Tang Dynasty is steadily developing in the direction expected by Yao Houye, the Yao family's father and daughter have paid a lot less attention to that side, and instead paid more attention to the news in Chang'an City, because the Rong and Di tribes in the northwest direction actually jointly committed the border, even slaughtering three villages and one town in the border area, and arrogantly threatened to take revenge on Prince Yongyi!
Prince Yongyi, that is, the third emperor uncle of Emperor Kangtai's palace, the original king of Yongyi County, after Emperor Kangtai ascended the throne, he was graced according to the usual practice, so the titles of several imperial uncles were upgraded by one level.
Prince Yongyi originally served as the envoy of the Northwest Festival for a long time, and he had the hard military merits of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, but Emperor Zhenglong was afraid that his reputation would be too high for the prince, so he recalled people to live in Beijing.
However, the official position of the festival envoy was not withdrawn, but two other deputy festival envoys were sent to 'assist' him, but the final effect was not mentioned.
When the king of Yongyi was in the local area, it was said that he was very cruel to the foreigners in the northwest, but the hatred between the two sides was accumulated for decades or even hundreds of years, especially for the people in the northwest, it was almost impossible to say that he would never die, so although the actions of the king of Yongyi were said to be cruel by many scholars, the military and civilian people in the northwest were very supportive of him.
Therefore, together with this war in the northwest, the voice of calling for Prince Yongyi to return to the northwest remained high, and Prince Yongyi himself also asked Emperor Kangtai for war in a very high-profile and impassioned manner.
Although on the surface, Prince Yongyi just said that he would be loyal to the country and swear not to return the war, but there was a sharp edge between the lines, suggesting that Emperor Kangtai should not be suspicious for his own selfishness, and leave him, a meritorious general, in Beijing, in order to ignore the people of the northwest!
The northwest region can be said to be the 'old nest' of Prince Yongyi, he got the news one step ahead of the imperial court, and took the opportunity to put himself in such a conspicuous and righteous position, and Emperor Kangtai was concerned about the safety of the people, and he couldn't bear it - and he was not sure to fight with Prince Yongyi for control of the northwest region at this time, so as not to harm the innocent people in the northwest, so he had no choice but to agree to Prince Yongyi's request, which was regarded as releasing this northwest tiger into the mountains and forests......
"Prince Yongyi's departure from Beijing, Your Majesty has one more fierce enemy." After reading Gong Zhe's letter, Yao Houye couldn't help but sigh deeply, "I'm afraid that when the emperor dies, it will be the time when Prince Yongyi rebels!" ”
Yao Xuan: "......"
Dad, how much resentment do you have against Emperor Zhenglong, always thinking about his passing.
Yao Xuan took the letter and read it carefully, and felt the same emotion as Yao Houye, Prince Yongyi was suppressed in Beijing by Emperor Zhenglong for many years, but he was still able to firmly grasp the hearts of the people in the northwest region, which shows his ability and intentions.
"Your Majesty is benevolent, but it's helpless to think about it." Although Yao Houye felt that Emperor Kangtai's move would inevitably seem soft, he also knew that the hard bone in the northwest was not easy to gnaw, so he could still understand Emperor Kangtai's actions, "Prince Yongyi is really a good move!" ”
At this time, if Emperor Kangtai really suppressed Prince Yongyi strongly, and then sent another military general, I am afraid that he would not be able to convince the public at all. At that time, if the fighter plane is delayed, or even defeated, it will be Emperor Kangtai himself who is responsible, and he will not be able to attack Prince Yongyi, and he will have to send the other party in the end......
"It's April now, why would those aliens who don't have food and clothing suddenly commit a border and slaughter the city? Is it really like they say, is it to take revenge on Prince Yongyi? Yao Xuan was puzzled by this, and Gong Zhe's letter did not write the reason in detail.
If it is said that it is cold in winter, and the alien race is short of food and clothing to go to the border, it can still be said, but to say that in order to take revenge on a prince of the Great Zhou who has left the northwest region for several years, is it too much to eat?
"Who knows if Prince Yongyi did something to anger the aliens first." Yao Houye didn't mind analyzing Prince Yongyi from the worst perspective, but these things were now a foregone conclusion, and it was useless for them to say anything more.
Now Yao Houye hopes that Emperor Taishang can live a few more years and give Emperor Kangtai more time to grow, but seeing that Prince Yongyi dares to make trouble at this time, the situation does not allow them to be optimistic.
Yao Xuan also thought of the same thing as Yao Houye at this time, and after the father and daughter glanced at each other, they both sighed silently.
And it is said that blessings are unparalleled, and disasters do not go alone, just a few days after the matter of Prince Yongyi came to the border city, a major event also happened in the Later Tang Dynasty that caught Yao Houye off guard, that is, the new prince Li Lang actually killed his father and ascended the throne!
Of course, Li Lang's poisoning of Emperor Tang was extremely secretive, and he also pretended that he was also poisoned, and then threw the pot to another ambitious brother on his back, and even beat several adult brothers into accomplices, mercilessly killing or degrading, but those princes and grandsons did not eat for nothing, and the outbreak before the crisis also caused Li Lang's forces to suffer heavy casualties.
In the end, only the former prince was protected by the strategists sent by Yao Houye, and narrowly avoided this crisis, but after all, the general trend had gone, and he could only be imprisoned by Li Lang as a good-looking disguise.
Yao Houye was powerless to return to heaven after knowing this, so he could only muddy the waters depressedly, and spread the truth about Li Lang's murder of his father as a rumor, which did make Li Lang's succession a little more controversial, but in the future, the temperament of those people in the Tang Dynasty was coaxed down by Li Lang, who had a good face and high emotional intelligence, and I am afraid that it was only a matter of time.
So far, Yao Houye's plans against the Later Tang Dynasty in the past two years can be said to have failed half and succeeded half.
Although it is not the former prince of the Lord and faction who has ascended the throne now, the Later Tang Dynasty, which was originally quite peaceful, has also been loosened by Yao Houye's heart, and it is a mess. (To be continued.) )
