Chapter Seventy-Eight: Martial Emperor, You Can Compromise
The officials of the Qingliushi faction took the lead of Zhang Khan and supported Li Xian, and the number of people who supported Li Xian reached as much as half in an instant.
Wu Sansi couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately glanced at his cronies, asking them to quickly reverse the decline.
However, as soon as these henchmen stood up, before they could speak, Li Ran's guns were on the right side.
"Li Ran, you ......"
"Don't be afraid, I'm just helping the gods to see if you are traitors."
Li Ran laughed harmlessly, but the barrel of the black hole was getting closer and closer, and it almost hit the forehead of King Liang's confidant.
"By the way, what do you want to say?"
"No, nothing ......"
To get credit, you have to have a life flower, Li Ran's routine of shooting if he doesn't agree with a word, who dares to test whether his hands will tremble.
King Liang was so anxious that he blew his beard and glared, seeing that the people under his subordinates were useless, he turned his heart sideways and recommended himself, so he didn't believe that Li Ran dared to shoot himself.
That's right, Li Ran really didn't shoot...... It's not that you don't dare, but it's not necessary.
At the same time as King Liang came out, Princess Taiping also followed closely to the middle of the court.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers also recommend the King of Luling!"
Princess Taiping suddenly knelt down, but Wu Zetian stood up straight from the dragon chair.
“…… Taiping, what do you mean? ”
The direct competitor actually voted, that was not to send Li Xian to the finals, this was not the result she wanted to see!
"Your Majesty, the courtiers ask themselves that compared with the King of Luling, their merits are quite inferior, and now there are so many ministers in the court who support the King of Luling, and the courtiers also feel that the position of the crown prince belongs to him."
Princess Taiping expressed her attitude, and the ministers who originally planned to support her immediately got the signal and jumped out to support Li Xian.
The vote rate instantly exceeded seventy percent, and this god reversal made King Liang completely overwhelmed.
This, this is a loss?
Obviously, he is not convinced, and he has to hold back if he is not convinced, not to mention him, even Wu Zetian is ten thousand dissatisfied with this result.
But so what, the rules are set by Wu Zetian himself, how can he break his word and gain weight in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
Moreover, Li Xian's victory was not accidental at all...... From before returning to Luoyang City, Li Ran's layout had already begun.
In fact, in addition to sending secret letters to Yang Zaisi and other ministers who stood in line, Li Ran also deduced various situations that might occur when the crown prince was appointed more than once, including King Liang's counterattack and Wu Zetian's calculations.
It can only be said that he prepared a little too much, and the expected plan was not used at all...... overestimated the IQ of King Liang, and also overestimated Wu Zetian's control over the courtiers.
She's old after all.
Otherwise, when Zhang Cambodia proposed that the number of seventy percent of the courtiers should be determined by the number of the crown prince, he should be keenly aware that there is a problem with this number.
Seventy percent of the number is just the sum of the courtiers who can confidently gain support from the two candidates, Princess Taiping and Li Xian!
Therefore, Princess Taiping's defection was certainly not because she was moved by Li Xian's domineering spirit on a whim...... Instead, he made a VAM agreement with Li Xian.
"Whoever can take the lead, when the approval rate is more than half, the other side will give up the crown prince and support each other instead, and when the crown prince is decided, the other side will be compensated."
These are the original words in Li Ran's secret letter to Princess Taiping.
With her eyesight, it is not difficult to see that this is a double insurance, and the crown prince's gamble will not be lost, there is only the problem of earning more and earning less, and there is no reason not to agree.
Of course, she always thought that she was the one who could get on top...... Women always love fantasy.
"Your Majesty, the gods are very satisfied with King Luling becoming the crown prince, and said that when the seal is granted, auspiciousness will fall from the sky."
Li Ran made the final decision and directly beat this matter to death in the name of the gods.
Whoever dares to make a noise will not be able to get along with the gods, and if he can't get along with the gods, the divine weapons in his hands will go crazy!
Wu Zetian was silent for a long time.
Through the bead curtain, I can't see her expression clearly, but I can also know with my toes that she is unhappy and helpless.
is still the same sentence, in this world, after all, she is not alone.
“…… Since all the princes of the court have a final conclusion, and there is a divine guidance, the position of the crown prince will be succeeded by Li Xian, the king of Luling, and grant the right to supervise the country, and choose the day to open the palace and grant the seal. ”
Eventually, she gave in.
With the support of the eunuch palace maid, he slowly withdrew from the Xuanwu Palace, and walked farther and farther away from the dragon chair with tired and aging steps.
As soon as she left, hundreds of officials rushed to retreat, so frightened that the eunuch at the door almost peed his pants.
"Tsk, master, these kidneys are really not good, and I can't hold it back after only seven or eight hours."
“…… Son-in-law, I, I'm the crown prince? ”
Li Xian muttered to himself, completely unable to believe what was in front of him.
"yes, do you want me to put up a few banners and hang them on hot air balloons to help you spread the word?"
Li Ran smiled and said in a low voice, "Let's go, master, this is just the beginning of the peak of your life...... Steady, don't wave, survive the martial emperor. ”
Weng and his son-in-law finally left the Xuanwu Palace, and when Li Xian went out, he suddenly glanced back at the dragon chair, and his eyes sprouted a long-lost heat.
He hadn't sat in this position for more than ten years.
Princess Taiping's mansion is full of lights, a big celebration banquet, Li Xian will move to the prince's mansion one day, today's banquet will be the last time that the two will be commensurate with brother and sister.
Tomorrow, Li Xian will be the crown prince, one person under ten thousand people!
Needless to say, the specific process of eating and drinking, anyway, Li Xian was drunk and unconscious, and Li Ran was half a step away from being unconscious.
The only thing he remembered was that Princess Taiping pulled his arm, and most of her delicate body came up, relying on the credit of standing in line today, asking him to give him five more places to place the doorman...... Including the squires of the household department, the military department, and the official department, and the positions of real power.
And Li Ran bargained, saying that he was a principled person, and he would give three at most, not more.
In the end, most of their clothes were torn off, and Xian Hui'er was afraid that the two would have a skin-to-skin relationship, so she separated the two of them, and then stuffed the note with four names into Li Ran's arms.
Selling official beards is so righteous and bright.
The next day, Li Xian, who received the edict and the seal, was infinitely beautiful, wearing a golden prince python robe, riding a high-headed horse and carrying his entourage through the city of Luoyang, announcing his return as a king.
However, the appearance of the prince's mansion is indeed not good, which is in stark contrast to his complacent expression...... It's been abandoned for decades, and it's good to still have people.
Of course, there is a ready-made construction team in hand, and it only takes half a day to clean up and finalize the repair plan, and within ten days, it will definitely restore its former glory.
The only problem is that Li Xian's ability to handle government affairs is a bit abandoned in Luling.
In the morning, he only reviewed three documents, and scratched his head and cheeks with his pen, as if he was constipated.
“…… Master, did Emperor Wu deliberately fix you? ”
Looking at the mountains of documents sent by the officials, which filled the entire desk in less than an hour, Li Ran instinctively felt Wu Zetian's deep malice.
