Chapter 256: Ominous
The war in Yanbei is about to break out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chang Runzhi stayed in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion and was not allowed to be idle.
The news of Emperor Yuanwu's release of the crown prince spread quickly, and the fourteenth prince lost Liu Tong's backbone, so he was so anxious that he could only come to her and beg her for an idea.
Chang Runzhi sometimes finds it funny.
In the past, Liu Tong was also a character like the Fourteenth Prince, although he had his own decisions in case of trouble, he habitually wanted to get a definite idea from King Rui, for fear that he would make the wrong decision.
Today, Liu Tong stands in the seat of King Rui and has become a benchmark figure for others.
Chang Runzhi comforted the fourteenth prince a few words, and said: "Now the imperial court is beyond the reach of the Yanbei war, and your ninth brother is still in the field, and it is estimated that it will take another month or two to come back." The fourteenth brother doesn't need to worry. ”
"How can you not be in a hurry!" The fourteenth prince's feet trembled: "The prince is released, I don't know what to do!" In the past year, my father has almost taken away the power of the ninth brother, and the ninth brother has a false position in his hands, and it sounds good to inspect the world, and if it is not good, isn't this equivalent to exile? The ninth brother handed over all the affairs in the capital to me to deal with, and now if the prince squeezes me out, then how can I explain to the ninth brother......"
Chang Runzhi sighed in his heart: "You should be steady first, don't show a hurry." ”
"Nine Sisters-in-law......"
"I know." Chang Runzhi: "But you can't solve the problem in a hurry." Now that the emperor has released the prince, I don't know what the prince needs to do, so let's stand still for the time being and wait and see what happens. ”
"Then if so, what if the father wants to hand over the power to the crown prince?"
Chang Runzhi pondered for a moment and replied: "The crown prince has just been released, and the emperor will not reuse him so quickly, it will take at least a month or two to ease this sensitive period." When the time comes, your ninth brother will also come back. Wait until then, listen to your ninth brother's arrangement. ”
The fourteenth prince let out a sigh, nodded, and said a little embarrassed: "I have lost my words, don't blame the ninth sister-in-law." ”
"No, it won't." Chang Runzhi smiled and sent the fourteenth prince out.
Turning her head, she smiled, her face very ugly.
What Emperor Yuanwu meant by releasing the crown prince at this time, it was obvious.
The fourteenth prince wanted to be simple, and he didn't think too much about it, and he didn't need to think too much about it when he had staff around him to give advice.
But Chang Runzhi has been with Liu Tong for three or four years, and listening to him analyze these court affairs, he also has a little understanding of the direction of the imperial court.
I'm afraid that the staff of the Fourteenth Prince are also aware of Emperor Yuanwu's intentions.
The reason why the Fourteenth Prince came to her to ask for advice was just because these of his staff disciples did not dare to say more.
Emperor Yuanwu obviously wanted to support the crown prince and fought against King Rui.
Fear...... The mention of a certain minister in the court, King Rui's threat to the imperial power, made Emperor Yuanwu listen to it.
Since ancient times, the most intolerable thing for emperors is that someone covets his throne, even if it is his own son. When he dies and his son succeeds to the throne, the emperor can accept it. But when the emperor was still alive, his son had the heart of rebellion, which the emperor could not tolerate. When encountering such a thing, which emperor did not kill his relatives in righteousness?
Emperor Yuanwu is also an emperor, and emperors have a common problem, that is, they hope that the throne can be passed on smoothly.
And now Emperor Yuanwu has believed that the existence of King Rui has posed a huge threat to his smooth succession to the throne in the future.
So, what will Emperor Yuanwu do after he releases the crown prince?
Chang Runzhi slowly reached out and pressed his heart.
She had an extremely ominous premonition.
In the palace, the diligent government hall is a side hall.
Only Emperor Yuanwu and his personal temple people were left in the hall, as well as the prince kneeling in front of him.
The temple people stood obediently behind Emperor Yuanwu, and the crown prince was excited because he was released, and the second was very worried about Emperor Yuanwu.
Father and son haven't seen each other for a year, and they haven't seen each other.
In the end, the crown prince couldn't bear it compared to Emperor Yuanwu, he took two steps on his knees, and said with a crying voice: "Father...... Erchen is wrong, Erchen knows that he is wrong......"
Emperor Yuanwu's gaze at the crown prince was also very complicated.
He did not depose the crown prince, but sent a signal to the prince that he still had hope for the prince.
In the past year, his anger has disappeared, and he feels reluctant to the prince.
In the end, it was the only thought that the queen left him.
Emperor Yuanwu sighed and simply analyzed the recent court situation.
"As a result of this battle, if King Rui wins a big victory, presumably you, the crown prince, will not be able to sit safely." Emperor Yuanwu sighed lightly: "Tell me about it, what do you think?" ”
Emperor Yuanwu had a secret idea in his heart.
If the crown prince consciously withdrew from this sibling dispute, then all the hidden worries would no longer exist. King Rui ascended the throne, the prince could be an idle king, and he set up King Rui as the crown prince, and the Great Wei Jiangshan could also be passed on smoothly......
Emperor Yuanwu stared at the crown prince's reaction.
Of course, the crown prince didn't know what Emperor Yuanwu was thinking.
He said as a matter of course: "Father, King Rui is clearly despising his sons and ministers, and he also ignores his father. He is the prince, and his son is the prince. He acted in such a high-profile manner, isn't he declaring war on his sons? One day he is so powerful that I am afraid that if I want the life of my sons, my sons will not be able to prevent it. ”
As he spoke, the prince wiped his tears, waiting for an opportunity to give King Rui eye medicine in front of Emperor Yuanwu, and said that during the year he was imprisoned, there were several accidents and he almost died. Whether it was done by King Rui or not, he was all on King Rui.
The temple man raised his eyelids and glanced at the prince, and then quickly drooped down.
Emperor Yuan Wu slowly closed his eyes.
He waved off the prince and the temple people, and sat alone for more than half an hour, distracted.
The son is excellent, and of course he is happy. But it's not the prince who is excellent, so how much trouble will it cause.
The prince is willing to retire, although he regrets that the prince cannot ascend the throne, but he has to say that this is a happy ending.
However, the prince was unwilling to retreat.
He can persecute the prince and directly issue an edict to abolish the prince.
But according to the prince's temperament, he will definitely not give up.
When the time comes, the brothers will be against the wall, the father and son will turn against each other, and King Rui, who has returned to Beijing, will be able to serve the entire Beijing division in one pot.
The only way is to control King Rui.
King Rui, this child......
Emperor Yuanwu stroked his sideburns.
This child has the world in his heart and values love and righteousness, so it is inevitable that he will have multiple concerns, and in the eyes of Emperor Yuanwu, he seems to be weak and soft-hearted.
A person with such a temperament is not the best choice for the emperor and the emperor.
Emperor Yuanwu also thought about whether King Rui had such a mind.
But now, it doesn't matter whether he has such a mind or not.
There are too many people who support him, and there are many people who stand on his opposite side. It's not a matter of whether he thinks that way or not.
He must stand in the position of competing with the crown prince in front of the eyes of so many people.
Then, it is destined that he will have a fight with the crown prince.
Maybe he is ruthless, and even he, the father, can be left behind. Once he is willing to give up everything...... Isn't there a saying, "If you are willing to cut your body, you dare to pull the emperor off the horse"?
Thankfully, King Rui has his weaknesses, and those who have weaknesses, he can control.
What is Ruiwang's weakness?
Emperor Yuanwu can say unequivocally that his wife and children are one of them, and his mother, Concubine Xian, is also one of them.
But the weakness that was most important to him was his son, the younger brother of King Rui.
