Chapter 879: Li Jing's Inference
Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.
In the past, before the early dynasty, the front of the Taiji Hall was an excellent place for the ministers to contact their feelings, and everyone took this opportunity to talk and laugh, which was very lively.
Today is the Great Dynasty Meeting, and it is said that it should be more lively, but at this time, the front of the Taiji Hall is deserted, and there is almost no one.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest had a conflict, this matter was too serious, and the officials were avoiding suspicion, worried that they were on the wrong side and would be unlucky in the future, so everyone stood far away, and no one wanted to attract attention at this time.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were worried when they saw this situation.
The ministers all know what the main content of today's early dynasty is, and His Royal Highness the Northwest King is one of the protagonists today. However, until the beginning of the early dynasty, people did not see the figure of Li You, the king of the northwest, which caused suspicion again, and some people even worried that something terrible had happened last night.
"Going to court."
With the loud screams of the eunuchs on duty, the officials silently walked towards the inside of the main hall.
In the Taiji Hall, the ministers and officials stood in their positions according to their ranks, looking at the direction of the throne in the north and were silent.
Under the throne, there was Li Chengqian's seat, which was very depressing.
Huang Zhongyu is the crown prince Zhan Shi, in the past, he was not qualified to go to the court, but today is the court meeting, and he can participate. The most important thing is that his participation in the court meeting today was specially sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to inform him.
Huang Zhongyu knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely suppress Li You, the king of the Northwest, today, and he specially asked himself to help, which shows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has regarded himself as an absolute confidant.
He was overjoyed and ready to show his talents, thus becoming an important figure in the Li Chengqian clique in one fell swoop.
The hall was very quiet, and there was an oppressive atmosphere in the air.
Not long ago, because of Li Tai's affairs, the court was in a miasma, and even caused a turmoil that changed the world, and the court finally settled down, and most of the ministers felt very sad when they saw that a new conflict was about to break out.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Fu Lian, the head of the East Palace, shouted loudly.
Where is His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest? There was a wave of doubt in everyone's hearts.
At this moment, Fu Lian shouted again: "His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has arrived." ”
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and they saw Li Chengqian and Li You walking in side by side with a smile on their faces.
"Whoa."
"Okay."
Seeing the scene in front of him, the dark clouds that pressed on the hearts of the ministers were suddenly swept away, and the ministers resounded with heartfelt applause and cheers in the hall.
Huang Zhongyu's legs were weak and he sat on the ground.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, Gao Jingming and other ministers had a sour nose, and Wei Zheng's tears couldn't help but fall.
Although Li Jing was already a septuagenarian, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart when he saw that his judgment was completely correct. He turned his head to look at Li Ji and Hou Junji, and couldn't help blinking his eyes like a child.
Li Ji stretched out his thumb and showed an admiring smile on his face.
Hou Junji's face was full of convincing, and he arched his hand towards the master.
It turned out that just yesterday when Li Ji and Hou Junji were worried, Li Jing said: "If my expectations are good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Northwest King are performing a big show. ”
Hou Junji asked puzzledly: "Master, what kind of play are they playing, why can't I see it?" ”
Li Ji said thoughtfully: "Master, I think your judgment is correct. But there are some things I still don't understand. ”
Li Jing asked, "Junji, you must have gone to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't see you, did he? ”
Hou Junji said: "Yes, I heard that there was a conflict between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, so I hurriedly went to persuade His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince avoided it. I'm just coming to you, master. ”
Li Jing said: "That's right, none of the ministers who went to see His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest today saw His Highness. ”
"What's the matter, why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see me?" Hou Junji became more and more confused, and asked puzzledly.
Li Jing smiled: "It's not that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't see you, it's that he doesn't know what to tell you." ”
Li Ji was also confused by Li Jing, and he asked: "Master, I'm also a little confused, what's going on?" ”
Li Jing said: "Now the crown prince is in charge of the country, but His Majesty still has not abdicated, and there are still many variables in the court situation at this moment.
The new dynasty has just begun, and the courtiers of the past are worried about their future, and their hearts will be uneasy. The cronies who followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest inevitably resorted to their own means in order to compete for power and profit, and it was inevitable that the people in the court would be unstable.
Moreover, His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest has to leave Chang'an, which can be said to be very dangerous.
In such a situation, what is the best way to calm people's hearts? ”
Li Ji came out of his shell: "Unity, unity between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest." ”
Li Jing said with a smile: "Mao Gong is right, it is the unity between them. ”
Hou Junji is also a smart person, and after Li Jing's reminder, he also saw that Li Chengqian and Li You were acting. "No wonder," he said. I'm wondering, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest have always been close, how could they have a dislike because of a female spy. ”
Li Jing was silent for a moment, and said with some concern: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Northwest King are not wrong to worry. Even you, Hou Junji, believe in the contradictions between them, can the other ministers imagine? This shows that the time has come for the instability of the people to be solved immediately. ”
Li Ji nodded and said: "Master, I understand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest are deliberately exposing the problem of people's instability, putting the contradictions on the surface, and then taking measures to solve them, so as to calm people's hearts." ”
Li Jing said: "Yes, the two highnesses have a very high trick, they just want to use the matter of female spies to arouse the attention of the government and the opposition, and then show their attitude, so as to achieve the purpose of calming people's hearts." ”
Hou Junji said with a smile: "I also understand, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Northwest King are acting, they can't explain when they see the ministers, so they simply avoid it." Ha ha. ”
Li Jing looked up at the window and said with some expectation: "I want to see what kind of big drama the two highnesses will sing tomorrow?" ”
"Whoa." The applause continued.
Li Chengqian and Li You walked to the front of the throne and stood facing the ministers.
At this moment, a move by Li Chengqian and Li You made the atmosphere in the hall even more enthusiastic.
