Just a few days ago, on the first day of the first lunar month, the Shendu Imperial Court officially changed the Yuan to Tang Long, abandoning Zhou and returning to Tang.

It's just that on the issue of the highest power, the court still can't unify the voice, so Li Dan is still in charge of the country as an embarrassing imperial heir. This also brings up an even more embarrassing problem, that is, the country has no king.

Of course, there are still some of them, and the Holy Emperor Wu Zetianzun has not been removed. But the Holy Emperor is the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all, but not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, at the same time as the change of the yuan, Wu Zetian's honorific title should be abolished together, but the form in which the imperial heir should inherit the unification has not been decided for a long time, which makes the atmosphere of the current situation delicate and dangerous.

Orthodoxy is the most important thing in the world, and if this problem is not solved one day, the court of the Shendu will not be able to govern the world in the name of justice. Li Dan is in such a focal position, and it can be said that he has been restless in recent times.

After listening to the emperor's complaint, Wang Meichang suddenly realized that the water was unfathomable, and she was still proudly willing to share her worries for the emperor's heir, but at this moment she was silent, and she also had a sense of powerlessness that she didn't know what to do.

If it was him who was suddenly in a position and arrogant before, he would naturally have to talk about it, but after the previous blow, he also realized that he was really not worth mentioning in front of the real big people in the current situation.

Even if there is a lot of publicity in returning to the gods this time, it is because of His Royal Highness King Yong behind him. The prime ministers will give face to King Yong, and he is just a shogunate to join the army, so he can not give face to others, and others will not care about him at all.

But since the emperor's heir has spoken to this point, the statement that should be made must always be made, and after a while of silence, Wang Meichang said again: "No matter what choice His Royal Highness makes, the minister will be with him and swear to death!" ”

This is equivalent to not saying it, but it is just a kind of human comfort.

"Alas, in my current situation, it will be difficult to advance, and I am afraid of losing the world if I retreat. Now I finally feel that the most sinister thing in the world is these three inches of people's hearts! ”

Li Dan sighed again, his expression was full of melancholy: "Although my mother didn't treat me mercifully in the old days, I was still able to live in peace and quiet, and occasionally I consciously bowed down, and often made cold eyes and resentments, and secretly hated my mother's political stupor. But when he exercised his authority, he realized that the world was complicated and people's hearts were unpredictable. ”

It's not that Li Dan doesn't want to cheer up and show a bit of domineering arrogance, but his character always lacks a bit of decisiveness.

Originally, when the kings of the Wu family were in the dynasty, he was the heir to the family and country that the old ministers of the Tang family were expected to return. When the revolution had just occurred in the capital of God, the ministers entered the palace to greet him, Li Dan was frightened, and there was no lack of ambition in his heart.

But the reality is that the court seems to have a wide range of talents, but there are few of his henchmen, and the old ministers of the Tang family who originally supported him are also intriguing with each other and cannot work together to assist.

This time the big progress can be regarded as an outbreak of contradictions. The powerful minister Li Zhaode blindly insisted that he be the crown prince to succeed to the throne, saying that "the emperor's last order has nothing to do with His Royal Highness." The emperor's heirs advance and retreat, all by the Holy Emperor, rashly abandon this, filial piety, etiquette and law are lacking."

But Li Dan knew in his heart that Li Zhaode's insistence was nothing more than to maintain a relatively detached position in the court. Li Zhaode was a Zhongshu edict made by the Holy Emperor before his seclusion, and only when the imperial heir succeeded to the throne as the crown prince could he continue to maintain his authority as an assistant minister.

Although what Li Zhaode said was not unreasonable, even if he didn't consider the question of being ordered by his father or his mother, Li Zhaode's unquestionable tone made Li Dan feel quite angry.

Although he is not a person who is obsessed with power, it does not mean that he is completely free of ideas and temper. Whether what Li Zhaode said is reasonable or not, after all, he is a proposer rather than a decision-maker, otherwise the disorder of the monarch and the ministers and the harmony between each other will also be gone.

After thinking about it, Li Dancai continued: "I have been involved for a long time, there are few people close to me in the court, and my father-in-law is a relative and an elder, and he is one of the few people who can put his heart into words. After all, the criminal art is a small way, I am worried that my father-in-law will do this for a long time, which will damage the reputation of the Qing Dynasty and be criticized by the masses, and it may be difficult to use it in the future. ”

Hearing that the imperial heir was still entangled in this section, Wang Meichang couldn't help but sigh and said seriously: "How can the minister not understand this truth?" But a few days ago, I was enshrined in the court, and those who have no roots are embarrassed! The prestige is shallow, the person is not powerful, and the slightest rebellion will be difficult. ”

"There is no big or small technique, only clumsy distinction. For example, King Yong's entry into the WTO in the old years was also a light talk, not respected, and the world was fawning. But now, the big thief is punished, and the society is restored, who in the world dares to take King Yong lightly? The minister or the intellect of King Yong, but also feel the sigh of His Royal Highness without roots, willing to be a tentacle, deep in the matter, just want to be transparent up and down, and the emperor's order is unimpeded! ”

Hearing Wang Meichang's admiration for King Yong between his words, Li Dan's eyes flashed, and he suddenly whispered: "King Yongcheng is a great talent of the sect, but he is young and vigorous, and it is always inevitable to put an end to criticism. This time the westward use of forceful troops to seize the Tongguan, there is no shortage of voices in the court, Tongguan is the general trend of China, how can there be no reason not to hold the imperial court? King Yong's authority is indiscriminate, gathering momentum in the pass, controlling Tongguan, and Shaanzhou is also in its coverage, I am afraid that in the long run, the decree of the divine capital will not be made to the west! ”

"Who is the author of this heresy?"

When Wang Meichang heard this, her face suddenly changed: "If it weren't for the scheming and evil people who were afraid that the world would be safe, how could they attack a famous king of the clan with such evil intentions?" King Yong's great achievements are outstanding, he has worked tirelessly, and he has traveled westward, if he has no social society, why not linger in the divine capital and enjoy the wealth and prosperity? ”

After Li Dan heard this, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he said with a dry laugh: "One thing is like this, hundreds of people have seen it, and people are just talking about it, but there is no need to be guilty of words, after all, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan." ”

"The three of them became tigers, accumulated and destroyed money, and the ministers were worried that the evil words would fill their ears, and His Royal Highness might be disgusted with King Yong for a long time. What are the deeds of King Yong, there is no need to describe them in detail, the Zong family has this strong support, so that the prestige can not be lost. When the minister said this, His Royal Highness may think that the minister is a force greedy for King Yong's rescue in the past, but ......"

Speaking of this, Wang Meichang paused, looked left and right, leaned closer to the imperial heir, and then whispered: "The minister took the initiative to seek criminal punishment in Xijing, precisely to prevent King Yong's power to be difficult to control. Guanzhong is the former residence of the heavenly family, and Zhuyuan is the cornerstone of the society from the portal. If King Yong forgives him, it is inevitable that people will be convinced and gather momentum in Chang'an. The ministers did not hesitate to fight for punishment and kill themselves, just to prevent King Yong and Xijing Yuancong from colluding to respond! ”

"This, this ......"

When Li Dan heard this, he was really shocked, he really didn't expect that he, the father-in-law, would have such a profound plan.

"The minister didn't dare to say that he was wise, but this time he used things to achieve some results. The Xijing families are therefore afraid of King Yong, so that King Yong's account has no talent to be widely used, and to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, it is even necessary to quote the people of Caoye. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Meichang sighed with a look of wisdom in his hand: "The grass and the wilderness, the rabble!" In recent times, according to this power, there is too much Xia thief Dou Jiande? In the first battle of the Tiger Prison, the army was defeated and died, and the hegemony died. King Yong may be powerful for a while, but he can't make a name for himself in the pass, even if he has the heart, he is powerless. Or for a while, but the power is difficult for a long time, falconry to drive wolves, is a good strategy! ”

Hearing Wang Meichang's statement, Li Dan opened his mouth, he really didn't know how to evaluate it, and even had a feeling in his heart that he couldn't see through him, and he couldn't tell whether he was wise and foolish, or something else.

"Xijing affairs, don't say more, and wait for the government hall to decide. The father-in-law returned to the capital this time, and he also performed meritorious deeds, so he stayed in the court and appointed him. The lady's body has been declining for a long time recently, and I can't bear to let my flesh and blood be separated for many years. ”

Li Dan no longer commented on whether Wang Meichang's remarks were right or wrong, but turned to other things, he still felt that it was safer to arrange this father-in-law in the divine capital: "Besides, the big position is undecided at the moment, and all the things are light, and God is important." Lingnan Road visited the Dou family, and will return to Shendu in a few days, when several families talk freely, frequent exchanges, and no longer have to be separated from each other, endure hardships. ”

Hearing the first half of the emperor's words, Wang Meichang originally felt quite warm, and felt that her two daughters were entrusted to her. But when he heard the second half of the emperor's words, his heart sank suddenly.

Listening to the meaning of the emperor's heir, Dou Xiaochen is not dead, and he is about to be recalled to the court, which inevitably makes Wang Meichang subconsciously have a sense of crisis in his heart. When it comes to his background, power and relationship with the emperor's heir, Dou Xiaochen is undoubtedly far more than him, and once he enters the capital, his impact on Wang Meichang will be great.

Speaking of the reason for taking care of things in Xijing, Wang Meichang said to the emperor's heir second, his biggest consideration was to use the power of King Yongwang to suppress those Guan Longyuan nobles, just to prevent the Dou family from coming back.

Thinking about it like this, Wang Meichang realized that the imperial heir still valued the Dou family more after all, and wanted to summon these nobles into the court as his arms. The reason why he was repeatedly advised not to play criminal in Xijing was by no means for the sake of his reputation, but to avoid making enemies with Guan Longxungui!

As soon as she thought of this, Wang Meichang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It is her blessing that the lady can be loved by His Royal Highness. Now that the country is not at peace, how can relatives and disciples sit idle! Even if the minister is close to him, it is not of much help. In the old days, there was no virtue to boast of, although the westward journey accumulated small things, after all, it was not against the previous mistakes, and I was willing to be in the shogunate, and I did not dare to follow the situation and hurt the court to reward justice! ”

The most ruthless is the emperor's family, even if the emperor's heir is such a gentle person, once he has the power to think about it, he must keep himself in captivity in the divine capital and let the Dou family come out. Wang Meichang's heart felt sour, and it also strengthened his determination to plan later.

"The minister returned to the capital this time, and he was also ordered by King Yong, and he needed to visit several relatives and disciples to deliver messages. I heard that Princess Lu likes Gorou Takaye, can you go with her ministers to meet her? ”
