Chapter 406: His Majesty's Death (Part 1)
Wang Wensheng asked people to accept the pear blossoms, but he didn't mean to talk to Li Izuqing at night, so he directly served tea and said with a smile: "What the princess does is nothing more than suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, if you ask everything personally, wouldn't you be tired to death."

Li Izuqing saw Wang Wensheng serving tea, got up to say goodbye, thinking about what Wang Wensheng said, although this is the truth, but how to control the degree of trusting people, it is not good to leave everything to others.
Many people have just been promoted or have some way out, and they always want to be perfect, and they always feel that they have a lot of time and strength to do it. But I forget whether I will have other things to do, and whether what my predecessors have done in a limited time is already the best. As everyone knows, it is easy to be different, but what is difficult is persistence over the years.

Huan Ji and Wang Yuyang are in love with each other, thrush in the early morning, and watch the sunrise and sunset in different places.
The husband and wife walked north and south, and they were in a very comfortable mood.
However, not all the officials in various places are comfortable, some are trembling, and some are conscientiously serving the people, for fear that they will do something wrong in the hands of the princess.
Who knows when Princess Huanji will come to her jurisdiction, even if she is greedy for ink, she is secretly greedy in private, and she can't be greedy, even if she is greedy for silver and objects, she has to find a place to launder it.
Three years ago, there was a major case in which some people reported that the governor of Liangjiang and the prefect of Guangzhou had corrupted and cheated on people's lives.
At that time, Princess Huanji did not appear, but just passed on a sentence: "For officials, I would rather let them go than wrongfully and mistakenly kill a good official", as soon as this word came out, everyone was spreading, and it would not be the princess who said it.
After a long time, the people watching the excitement stopped, and it didn't take long for things to fade away.
However, only a year later, the governor of Liangjiang and the prefect of Guangzhou were all imprisoned, and many of the evidence of corruption and fraud were placed on the main hall of the court, and the officials were in an uproar.
In the end, I learned that it was the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Qingzhou that was dispatched.
They went south unconsciously, and went undercover to the relevant departments through various channels incognito, quietly inquiring. After the actual evidence is obtained, it will be reported for arrest.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption was in the limelight for a while, and officially appeared in front of the people of Datang. In the end, the court officials didn't understand what kind of department it was, and thought it was a spy department that collected evidence.
The Qing officials and scribes up and down the Tang Dynasty praised Princess Huanji one by one for having many capable people, and she was upright and not afraid of investigation.
The corrupt officials were anxious and began to relieve the people, build bridges and pave roads, and they all wanted to do more for the people to cover up those bad things.
The Tang Dynasty is clear and clear, there are no bandits and no thieves, and the people are rich and do not close their doors at night.
The emperor took advantage of this opportunity to vigorously follow the example of Qingzhou, support the establishment of schools, and encourage agriculture and trade.
Only then did the people of Datang know that even those who read can go to farm, and those who farm can also go to study, and the more they read, the better the land will be planted.

In the thirtieth year of Jianping, Li Qian, who ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and was once overtaken by the Queen Mother, and was supported by Xuanzong, Huanji and other ministers, died, only forty-six years old, and reigned for thirty years.
Li Qian's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, although the affairs of the court are not as tiring as in previous years, but his body is indeed suffering from major and minor illnesses.
It is said that Lixian is not long, but he is still optimistic about the second prince.
It's just that the second prince has a soft temperament, so Li Qian really can't rest assured, so he wants to temper him again.
He once wanted to appoint the second prince as the crown prince twice, and even the candidates for the assistant were selected. But every time he was about to make an order, the second prince would dislike him because of some small mistakes, and the canonization was put aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Li Qian was infected with wind and cold in the spring this year, although it was a minor illness, but it never got better, and it dragged on into the summer.
What is even more unexpected is that Li Qian will die because of this cold, and the edict that was previously shelved in the secret box of the imperial study to canonize the second prince as the crown prince disappeared.
Xue Dongwei, Cheng Ying, Ma Yun and other ministers who had arranged a few years ago were divided into two factions, Xue Dongwei advocated the establishment of the second prince as the emperor according to His Majesty's proposal in advance;
And Ma Yun said: "Your Majesty had the idea of proposing to canonize the second prince before, but it was suppressed later, which means that Your Majesty has other ideas." If His Majesty feels that the second prince is not a suitable candidate, he is looking at other candidates, although there is no reason to do so now, and the holy decree written before may also be dealt with by His Majesty. ”
Cheng Ying felt that what both sides said made sense and stood in a neutral position. For a while, there will be a dispute over who should take the throne.
The older princes are all starting to move, even the mothers of those young princes have moved their minds, if the emperor has a candidate, they naturally can't be the chaotic ministers and thieves, but now there is no one who is justified in the throne, who doesn't want to fight.
In the queen mother's bedroom, the grandmother beside the queen mother said: "Niangniang, it's time to rest, now the prince can only wait for the eldest princess to come back." ”
The Queen Mother said: "You said that this princess Huanji, she is not the blood of the first Taizu, and the second is not the noble daughter of the family, how did she get the eyes of the first Taizu, when the first Taizu was alive, she called for wind and rain, the first Taizu was gone, and the first emperor was also indulging in her, and now even the prince has to wait for her to stand, and the Manchu Dynasty is not afraid of her stringing this position?" ”
Mama was shocked, "Niangniang can't say such taboo words, if people hear it and spread it, we don't know how many people will be offended?" You have to think about the Eighth Prince. ”
The Queen Mother sighed, "If it weren't for the Eighth Prince, it would be impossible for the Mourning family to bribe the little eunuch to let him steal that thing." ”
Mama said: "Now the only one who can fight for the throne is the second prince, and the other princes are just clowns jumping off the beam and tossing around." ”
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family is afraid that Princess Huanji will be biased with the second prince, and the second prince is the only one who has stayed in Qingzhou. It's not impossible to wait like this, after all, whoever becomes the emperor, the mourning family is the queen mother, but they always want to fight again. ”
The step-empress Zeng wanted to support her eight-year-old son as the emperor, and the current situation in the imperial court, the emperor's age is not a problem at all.
When Li Chuqing learned that the emperor had died, he contacted Wang Churan as soon as possible.
After Wang Zhuran learned of His Majesty's death, he immediately conveyed the news of martial law on the borders everywhere, and personally mobilized all the Tang troops to use the exercise as an excuse to guard the borders of the Tang Dynasty.
He can't control the internal strife in the court, but if anyone wants to take advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty and want to get a piece of the pie for a long time, he will never allow it. (To be continued.) )
