Facing Li Longji's sharp eyes, Wang Ju took the lead in expressing his position and said: "Princess Taiping's power has reached the extreme, five of the seven prime ministers in the court are from her disciples, and more than half of the civil and military generals are attached to her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, as long as there is a friendship with His Majesty, more or less she is targeted, especially those who hold real power, let alone Princess Taiping. She is pressing everywhere and plotting with her heart, which can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, which is well known to passers-by. The situation is urgent, and Your Majesty should prepare in advance and act decisively. ”

Cui Ri flashed a trace of enthusiasm in his eyes, and said: "Princess Taiping has relied on the trust of the Emperor Taishang and tried to rebel for a long time. At the beginning, when His Majesty was the crown prince in the East Palace, he was still a courtier in name, and at that time, he wanted to eradicate Princess Taiping, and he was still a minister. Now that His Majesty is the lord of the world and the helm of the world, he only needs to issue a book, who dares to disobey the order? If you hesitate, if the plot of the treacherous people succeeds, you will regret it at that time! ”

Li Longji was hot when he heard this, and looked at the other Zhang and said, among the three, Wang Ju and Cui Riyong are the most intimate with him, and they obey his life, and the two of them are extraordinary, but they are both small talents, not great talents with great wisdom. After Liu Youqiu was deposed, Zhang Shuo was the first adviser he could rely on.

Zhang Shuo didn't answer immediately, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, do you know about the two coups that Princess Taiping participated in before and after?" In the past, the five kings led by Zhang Cambodia killed Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Zongchang and forced the queen of heaven to abdicate. In the first year of Tang Long, His Majesty attacked the Yulin camp at night and rebelled against the Yulin Army, attacked the Xuande Gate, and joined Li Xian in the third watch to join the Lingyan Pavilion, and killed Empress Wei, Zong Chuke, Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu and other remnants of the Wei and Wu clans in one fell swoop, and purged the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Princess Taiping's plot and secret help, can Your Majesty still remember? ”

Li Longji's face was blue, almost on the verge of rage: Zhang Shuo's words were true, the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian returned to the Li family, he was a spectator at the time, and the credit of Princess Taiping was in his eyes. As for the Tang Long coup, he swept away the remnants of the Wei and Wu clans, put his father on the throne, and was a direct participant. If he didn't have the support of Princess Taiping, he might not have dared to act at that time.

It's just that today, he summoned Wang Ju, Zhang Shuo, and Cui Riyong to discuss how to deal with Princess Taiping, instead of listening to Princess Taiping's past achievements.

Among the three, Cui Riyong has the lowest status, and he is not even a Beijing official, but the governor of Jingzhou, who is far away as an official in Jingzhou. Seeing Li Longji's annoyance, he stood up and shouted: "What does Zhang Xiang mean by this, is it possible that he has also obtained the benefits of Princess Taiping, and is in the same league with Dou Huaizhen, Cen Xi, Xiao Zhizhong, Cui and others?" ”

Zhang Shuo ignored Cui Riyong and said: "The minister is not talking about the merits of Princess Taiping, but wants to say that Princess Taiping's scheming, Princess Taiping has today's momentum, not only by the favor of the emperor, but with her intelligence, courage, and means. In the two coups, the people who benefited the most were not the five kings Zhang Khan Zhi, Cui Xuanwei, Jinghui, Huan Yanfan, Yuan Shuji or His Majesty, but Princess Taiping. She rose to prominence with a coup d'état, which is where she is today. In front of her, she has learned from the past twice, and with her wisdom, will she not guard against His Majesty's move? At the beginning, Brother Youqiu also planned to punish the princess with a mutiny, but as a result, he was still planning, so he let Princess Taiping fight back. If it weren't for His Majesty's quick response, Brother Youqiu would have been killed by the princess a long time ago. ”

Li Longji was silent, and even couldn't help but shudder: But as Zhang Shuo said, Princess Taiping's scheming is like a person in his heart: Wu Zetian! Wu Zetian is a "weak woman" who has no power to restrain the chicken, but she calls for wind and rain and tramples their Li Tang royal family under their feet, if it is not for old age and stupidity, the Li family may not be able to regain power.

Now that Princess Taiping is less than fifty years old, in terms of power and tactics, that is, the city government that has the energy of her prime and is old, it is the most powerful and difficult time to deal with.

"I'm worried that Princess Taiping is waiting for Her Majesty to make a move at this moment, and as soon as Your Majesty moves, she will have an excuse to move!" Zhang Shuo said solemnly: "Your Majesty needs to know that Chang Yuankai and Li Ci, the generals of Yulin on the left and right, are all people of Princess Taiping, and Princess Taiping holds most of the forbidden army in her hands, and only if there is any change, the Yulin army will be used by her." At that time, His Majesty and the Emperor Taishang will all be in danger. ”

Li Longji thought about the situation in the court, and found that it was as Zhang said, and he was really depressed in his heart, and said hatefully: "I am the son of heaven, but I am subject to a princess, and my heart is really depressed." ”

Wang Ju also persuaded Zhang Shuo and begged for advice: "Then we can't sit still, right?" For the current situation, does Zhang Xiang have a plan? ”

Zhang said in a deep voice: "Wait for the time being, be proud of her heart, and wait until Princess Taiping's heart relaxes, and she will be hit with one blow." ”

Li Longji pondered for a moment and said: "With my aunt's step-by-step character, I may not be able to relax for a while. ”

Zhang said with a smile: "So Your Majesty also has to do something, there is no need to fight against it." With the current situation, before the fish is dead, even if Princess Taiping has the intention to rebel, she does not dare to openly offend the king. In my opinion, Your Majesty can gather strength with great fanfare, win over his henchmen to cultivate strength, and make the appearance of winning with regular soldiers, instead of planning to go off the rails and win by mutiny in extraordinary ways. His Majesty is the emperor, and it is much more convenient to win over and reward courtiers than Princess Taiping. In this way, it is to attack the weaknesses of the other with their own strengths, and they will pull the princess's center of gravity to the front. As long as the princess relaxes in private, we will do it immediately, and the time will come...... There is no room for hesitation. The more he spoke, the more solemn his expression became, and when he said the last sentence, it was a killing gesture.

"Bang Bang!"

Li Longji's talent and wisdom are also a momentary choice, and he already understands what Zhang is referring to: he puffed up his palms and said with a smile: "Zhang Xiang's move is to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and he is fighting against each other on his face, and he is hiding behind the murderous opportunity, and he really succeeds." It seems that I am going to take good care of the upcoming spring. ”

Zhang said: "Spring is coming, the literary and martial arts examinations are carried out at the same time, and among the thousands of candidates, there will inevitably be talented and loyal people." They are innocent, but they are much more reliable than many people in the court who seem to be loyal, but secretly harbor ghosts behind their backs. Speaking of this, he smiled strangely: "As far as I know, the princess has already decided that Chang Yuankai's son is the champion, how can we do what he wants?" ”

Wang Ju also said: "In this way, the choice of the examiner should be the top priority. ”

Li Longji said with a smile: "I think there is a suitable candidate in my heart, what do you think of Dr. Taichang He Zhizhang?" ”
