Chapter 380: The Prince

"The lower official greets the prince. ≥≥,”

It's one thing to have a friendship in private, and it's another thing to meet in public, so Li Zhongyi politely bowed to Li Qiong.

"Haha, no blame, there have been rumors in Kaifeng City recently, you, the local parent official, do you know?" Li Qiong touched her beard and looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile.

Li Zhongyi thought to himself, due to his advanced age, Li Qiong, who was deeply trusted by Chai Rong, rarely participated in the court meetings that he often attended, and his sudden appearance today obviously had another hidden meaning.

Moreover, the rumors reached Li Qiong's ears so quickly, and it was obvious that something big was going to happen at today's court meeting.

"Back to the prince, the lower officials have already sent someone to catch the source of the rumors." Li Zhongyi noticed that all the officials around him stopped and looked at him and Li Qiong silently.

In front of the public, Li Zhongyi naturally couldn't leak the inside story of his private deployment, he just answered calmly and steadily in accordance with his due responsibilities.

Li Qiong snorted coldly and said, "The old man has not been planning state affairs for a long time, and the little ones are so rampant, is it possible that they are deceiving me and no one in the Great Zhou?" ”

Li Zhongyi had long expected that Li Qiong's sudden appearance would be strange. Sure enough, Li Qiong came to the court today for the sake of rumors.

Chai Zongxun, who is ill, if his position as a quasi-prince is shaken, the situation will definitely be unstable. The first to be damaged was Chai Rong himself, followed by the Fu family, and as for Li Zhongyi, the quasi-prince's teacher, naturally there was no benefit.

Li Zhongyi said lightly: "In an eventful autumn, it is advisable to use heavy classics." His qualifications are far inferior to Li Qiong, and his cruel words are up to the point. That's enough.

In layman's terms, power is given by the emperor. Prestige needs to be built by itself.

At this time, Han Tong's loud voice suddenly came into Li Zhongyi's ears. "His milk * milk bear, who dares to think of anything wrong, Lao Tzu chopped his whole family."

Li Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Tong with a fierce look in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was really a prophecy. In the process of Zhao Laoer's seizure of the throne, the only bloody case created was to slaughter Han Tong's full family.

Although, Li Zhongyi is a person to Han Tong. Not too cold. However, Han Tong's family is old, and his surname is Han, and he is indeed a good man, but his luck is not good.

Earlier, there was a small episode of Erli and Han, and the civil and military officials present. Most of them know in their hearts that the storm is about to sweep the entire government and the opposition.

At this time, the superintendent Yushi who was present took the initiative to stand up. He shouted: "Before the main hall, there must be no noise, and I will impeach you and other unscrupulous ministers." ”

Oversee the Imperial History. It was just the emperor beating the stick of the important minister, and the stick was raised high. Whether it falls, or how heavy it is. Only Chai Rong has the right to decide.

Li Zhongyi, Li Qiong, and Han Tong didn't take the roar of supervising the imperial history as the same thing, at most it was just a fine.

In the officialdom of this era, the so-called corruption, bribery, drinking flowers and wine and other behaviors are all subsections, as long as they are not too unscrupulous, the emperor can be tolerant.

Standing in the right line, or being in the right political position, is the first priority as an important minister of the imperial court. and His Majesty the Emperor have always been consistent, the official fortune is absolutely prosperous, and the future is destined to be immeasurable.

On the contrary, if you are hated by the emperor, even if you are a unique and capable minister, it will not be far from the day when you lose your head.

Supervising the disturbance of the imperial history, as early as Li Qiong expected, since his goal had been achieved, he took advantage of the situation and returned to the ranks of the super-high-quality ministers.

After entering the hall, Li Zhongyi, a second-rank member, was already qualified to stand in the first row of the courtiers' queue. However, Li Zhongyi's qualifications are still shallow, and the specific position is still closest to the palace gate.

After Li Zhongyi stood firm in the queue, the afterglow of his gaze told him that there were many people staring at his back.

Hehe, no way, people are more popular than people, Li Zhongyi is so young, he is already in a high position, and being envied, jealous and hated by others is an inevitable thing.

In these years, Chai Rong said that Li Zhongyi can do it, and Li Zhongyi can do it even if he can't do it.

What's more, Li Zhongyi conquered Goryeo and made great achievements in destroying the country; The Western Expedition to the Party crippled the separatist forces of the Tuoba family, so that the Great Zhou Empire obtained the source of war horses.

In addition, the Xiaoyaojin Bazaar, an imperial merchant business jointly operated by the Li family and the royal family, has become one of the largest sources of wealth in the entire Great Zhou Empire.

It is no exaggeration to say that although the commercial tax has been raised to the level of 1 out of 15, due to the huge distribution role of the Xiaoyaojin commodity wholesale market, merchants, especially those who take water transportation, have not only not lost money, but have earned more than before.

Both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty chose to set the capital of Kaifeng, in addition to the factors of political wrestling, in fact, it is also inseparable from the unusually convenient and developed water transportation of Kaifeng City.

The Bianhe River leads to the Yellow River, and the Grand Canal is the economic link connecting the Jianghuai River and the Yellow River Basin, and the water transportation not only carries a large amount of cargo, but also is convenient and fast, compared with the land transportation that requires countless manpower and animal power, the cost is much lower.

Because it is the history of the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, the Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the official history, was wiped black by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise, how can it be refuted that the greatness and glory of the Sui in the Tang Dynasty are correct?

In addition to the great achievements, Yang Guang's main mistake was to lose more than 300,000 elite soldiers who were invincible in the east and west during the expedition to Goryeo.

The decline of the strict zhòng in the hands of the imperial court led to the emergence of different hearts and the rise of the heroes, thus burying the hard-won Great Sui Dynasty.

However, Yang Guang presided over the construction of the Grand Canal, but it is a great cause that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future.

Until the middle and late Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Grand Canal has always played an important role in pumping the living water of the southern economy and making up for the lack of resources in the north.

In addition to the strength of the central violence, the great unification is more important, and the economy cannot let the local princes sit big, which must draw the blood of the localities.

Especially after the Northern Song Dynasty deeply developed the land south of the Yangtze River, the taxes of rich places such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang have always been very heavy, until the Red Dynasty, and the same is true.

Although Li Zhongyi has great real power, his qualifications are very shallow. So, he stood firmly in the queue. Holding an elephant board made of white jade, he stood silently in the crowd.

"Your Majesty has arrived." Accompanied by the shrill and strange singing voice of the chamberlain. Chai Rong appeared in the hall with a smile, and he slowly climbed the high steps and sat behind the dragon case.

"The ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty Xià Holy Ann, my emperor ......"

According to the Zhou system, the ministers of the government hall and the privy council, even if they visited the emperor in public, only need to bow deeply to show their favor to important ministers.

The government is out of the capital hall to show the prestige of the prime minister. Although Li Zhongyi is a second-class member. But it needs to be touched to the ground, and the gap is not small compared with the princesses in terms of treatment.

After Chai Rong said the scene without being salty or light, Fan Zhen, the prime minister, took the lead in going out as usual, and said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the sunrise in the east, the land of Jianghuai." There is an auspicious ......"

Because the palace attendants were on the side, the ministers did not dare to talk to each other, but the atmosphere became extremely strange.

Li Zhongyi didn't believe Xiangrui's prophecy at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly, listening carefully to Fan's nonsense.

In the end, Li Zhongyi finally figured it out. Fan's so-called auspicious rui is just a pure white tiger with genetic mutations.

Rumors about Chai Zongxun's imminent danger just appeared yesterday. Today, Fan Zhen brought out "auspiciousness" to talk about things. It can be seen that Chai Rong attaches great importance to Chai Zongxun's sister-in-law.

In fact, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's birth and Chai Zongxun, who had malaria, it would basically be a tragic ending of nine deaths and one life.

Therefore, in this sense, some of the people who led the rumors behind the scenes did not have the possibility of Chai Zongxun surviving, and they did have a solid basis for judgment.

It's just that the trend of history, because of the emergence of Li Zhongyi, has a butterfly effect and a huge deviation.

Chai Zongxun is destined not to die of malaria, Li Zhongyi, the master of the East Palace, is done!

"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to His Majesty, I am a family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the country is eternal, but it is the order of the heavens." Li Qiong deserves to be a tumbler in the political arena, and as soon as Fan Qian's words fell, he had already come out of the class to congratulate.

Li Zhongyi's eyesight is good, he looked over from the side and vaguely glimpsed that Li Qiong was already in tears, and his loyalty was evident every day.

Seeing Li Qiong's rapping performance, Li Zhongyi secretly felt ashamed, hehe, if this old fox goes to Hollywood in the United States, he will definitely abuse all kinds of super actors.

With Li Qiong taking the lead, the ministers bowed down one after another, and the sound of congratulations was deafening, and they rushed straight to the nine days of clouds.

Li Zhongyi is mixed in the ranks of important ministers, long live the mountain that learns like this, God bless the Great Zhou!

When the scene was about to end, Li Zhongyi returned to the train, and heard Chai Rong suddenly sigh and said lightly: "I have always felt that my shoulders are sore, my legs and feet are numb, and my energy to review the chapter is not as good as before. ”

At this time, if Li Zhongyi still can't understand Chai Rong's thoughts, then he is simply a political idiot.

The supreme in the world, what he wants to do the most, in addition to unifying the rivers and mountains and making the cadres arbitrary, is to live forever.

Chai Rong openly said that he himself was not energetic, and there was no second possibility except for a special purpose.

Li Zhongyi really didn't expect that when he was in the palace yesterday, Chai Rong didn't hint to him that he was going to propose the intention of establishing a prince today.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Li Zhongyi was indeed a little stunned, Chai Rong insisted on going his own way, and wanted to establish Chai Zongxun as the prince, which was understandable.

It's just that Chai Zongxun, a little baby, is still seriously ill, and his life is in danger anytime and anywhere, and it is difficult for Chai Rong's method not to arouse the criticism of the ministers.

However, Li Zhongyi thought about it, it was precisely because of the rumors about Chai Zongxun that maybe it was Chai Rong's quick decision and the booster for making up his mind?

Standing on Li Zhongyi's position, once Chai Zongxun is officially established as the crown prince, he, the prince Shaobao, will become the teacher of the prince who is justified and deserved, and the benefits are naturally great.

There is an essential difference between the division of the prince and the division of ordinary princes. The mystery lies in the fact that ordinary princes are just royals waiting to be raised and abolished, mixed and waiting to die.

Because of the blood of the royal family flowing in their bodies, ordinary princes are the most threatening to the imperial power, they generally need to clamp their tails to be people, and if they are not careful, they will be cut off by their father or the emperor's brother.

Of course, the adult crown prince is also easy to be jealous of the imperial father because of the expansion of his power, and there are many people who lose their heads.

Chai Zongxun is only seven years old this year. The time period from adulthood and sensibility to secretly cultivate party members. It's still unusually far away.

Even if Chai Rong didn't die suddenly, Li Zhongyi, the prince's teacher. The situation before Chai Zongxun reached the weak crown was also very safe.

"Your Majesty is in full bloom in the spring and autumn, and there are more than a dozen women in the day, why worry about lack of energy?"

At this time, what people didn't expect was that Li Gu and Li Xianggong suddenly jumped out, while shouting loudly, desperately expressing his loyalty to Chai Rong, but on the other hand, he strongly opposed Chai Rong to establish a reserve immediately.

Li Zhongyi knows. With such a big matter as the crown prince, someone would definitely stand up and try their best to oppose it, but he really didn't expect that this person was actually Li Gu. 、

Could it be that Chai Rong didn't say hello to the prime ministers he reused in advance and reached an agreement?

Thinking of this, Li Zhongyi shook his head secretly. Although Li Gu's status is secondary, he is also one of the prime ministers who are highly valued by Chai Rong.

In the political hall, Prime Minister Fan Zhen needless to say, except for the late Wang Pu. He is most trusted by Chai Rong.

The previous prime minister, Wang Pu, made several big mistakes in a row because of errands, and was demoted by Chai Rong to be a privy envoy.

Li Zhongyi thought about it. always believes that Chai Rong wants to establish a prince. It was absolutely impossible for Li Gu not to know about it in advance.

As for Li Zhongyi himself being concealed by Chai Rong, in fact, the reason is very simple. There is a part-time difference among his officials, who is the crown prince Shaobao.

If Li Zhongyi took the initiative to propose the establishment of the crown prince, it would be simply a birthday boy hanging himself and living impatiently.

After Li Gu took the lead in opposing it, there were indeed many people who followed up, and these people had all kinds of strange reasons, and they really had everything.

Li Zhongyi has been silent, his identity is too embarrassing, and everything he says is wrong. At this moment, ten thousand words are worth a thousand words, it is better to be silent, and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

According to Li Zhongyi's own guess, Li Qiong, the king of Kaiping County, who hardly goes to the court, is in the palace, obviously, when the time comes, he will naturally speak.

Sure enough, after the ministers chirped and finished their opinions, Li Qiong stepped forward, he squinted his eyes, glanced at the audience, and said coldly: "Your Majesty is the Ming Jun, if you teach the prince the way of government early, my Great Zhou's rivers and mountains will be as stable as Mount Tai, you don't have to worry about it at all." ”

What Li Qiong said, Li Zhongyi didn't listen attentively, his attention at this time has been focused on one person - the envoy of Songzhou Jiedu and the deputy director of the palace all checked Zhao Kuangyin.

As long as Chai Rong didn't suddenly fall ill and die, leaving the young lord to succeed him, Li Zhongyi was definitely a loyal minister who couldn't be more pure.

Even the super careerist Zhao Lao Er must clamp the wolf's tail, obediently obey, and dare not show the slightest objection.

According to Li Zhongyi's own judgment, Zhao Lao Er should not have the intention of usurping the throne at this time.

It's just that when there was a disagreement between the ministers just now, why didn't Zhao Lao Er say a word?

Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Zhao Laoer's thoughts, and he said in his heart that Zhao Laoer was able to successfully usurp the throne in the end, and the best disguise kung fu had to be said to be very confusing.

Unlike Li Zhongyi, the prefect of Kaifeng, Zhao Laoer is a typical heavy general in the army, holding huge military power, and his every move will attract special attention.

In a few years, the reason why Yue Fei, who was determined to smash Huanglong, was killed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui was not only because Yue Fei was a military general and had heavy troops, but also three abnormal taboos, which led to the disaster of killing.

One is that Yue Fei's soldiers and horses are all recruited and trained by himself, and they are called Yue's army.

Hehe, Yue Fei has soldiers, but he doesn't listen to the orders of the imperial court, and he needs more than a dozen gold medals to recruit back, a proper careerist and a big warlord!

Second, and more importantly, Yue Fei has always advocated welcoming the two saints back to Lin'an.

The question is, Zhao Gou's father and brother are back, is he still able to sit on the throne?

Third, Yue Fei, as a military general, actually publicly gave a chapter to Zhao Gou, calling for the early establishment of the prince.

Good guy, at that time, Zhao Gou was in his prime, although when he was fleeing for his life, there was something wrong with the shrimp at that time, and there was no child under his knees for the time being, who would dare to say that there would be no son in the future?

From Yue Fei's tragedy, Li Zhongyi summed up a key issue, character really determines fate!

Zhao Lao Er also has heavy troops, but he pretends to be more loyal than anyone else, and he can be described as a model conspirator who wants to take the first.

Just when Li Zhongyi was a little distracted, Li Qiong suddenly shouted and asked everyone in the hall sharply: "Could it be that you have no other thoughts?" Hmph, although the old man is old, he has never forgotten his ability to carry a knife and kill a traitor. ”

At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly took a big stride, rushed out, stood in the middle of the main hall, looked at the ministers with angry eyes, and said coldly: "Those who dare to have different intentions, as long as the emperor orders, a certain family will punish them." ”

Li Zhongyi silently watched Zhao Laoer's every move, and applauded his sincere performance at the same time.

Zhao Kuangyin stood up and intimidated the ministers with a measured timing, and he was extremely accurate, not too early or too late, just right.

Moreover, Zhao Laoer's expression is quite mysterious, and the implication is that although he has the handle of the knife, he must obey the orders of the current Chai Rong and the future Chai Zongxun.

The words are very beautiful, and the attitude is unusually clear, what a master of politics and power!

Zhao Lao Er stood up and did not care, and he held the actual military power, and the members of Chai Rong's henchman Xungui Group, including Murong Yanzhao, all expressed their positions.

The shouting and shouting of the generals is full of deterrence for the powerless civil officials!

This so-called, Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable!

Li Zhongyi, who had been secretly observing, knew in his heart that Chai Rong's doing this could never be a reckless act on the spot.

Just imagine, when Chai Rong commanded the Northern Expedition of the army, the Kaifeng nest in the rear suddenly had a heavy change, God knows how many military events will be delayed?

Moreover, Chai Rong chose the opportunity when rumors were spreading in Kaifeng City and publicly announced the establishment of the prince, in fact, with the toughest and most iron-blooded attitude, he violently counterattacked the people who were engaged in the conspiracy behind the scenes: Don't be delusional!

Since ancient times, the wise and strategic, for the most part, has had an accurate judgment of the situation.

The more the demonic wind rises, the more it is necessary to use thunderous means to nip the disaster in the bud and avoid future troubles.

Chai Rong's sense of the overall situation and decisiveness are simply fantastic, better than Li Zhongyi imagined, and much better!

Just when Li Zhongyi thought that the overall situation had been decided and the matter of establishing the prince was nearing the end, without any warning, Li Chongjin suddenly called Li Zhongyi's name in public, "Li Zhongyi himself is a milky hairy child, he is the prince's teacher, and Weichen thinks it is absolutely impossible." (To be continued......)
