Chapter 778: Revisiting the Prince (4) (3rd Update)
From the birth of the eldest prince and the second prince to the eleventh year of Qianning, the dispute over the prince was temporarily ended in the holy decree of Li Ye ordering the eldest son of the emperor to enter the East Palace.
Of course, Concubine Li's Sun Mei left with disappointment.
Because she couldn't accept that her son failed to become the prince, Sun Mei left in a hurry.
Seeing Sun Mei's blinding eyes and Li Zhen with hateful eyes, Li Ye was also very helpless, although he was a little cruel, he couldn't make Li Zhen the prince.
If Li Zhen is established, it will cause turmoil in the court, which is not the situation that Li Ye wants to see.
The emperor's eldest son entered the East Palace, which also reassured many people in the court.
In fact, there is no suspense, the eldest son of the emperor himself is also the eldest son, and there is no bad deeds, it is impossible for the saint not to set up the eldest son of the emperor but to set up the second prince.
It's just that it hasn't been decided before, so some people are still a little worried, but as the result is decided, everyone doesn't have to think about standing in line.
And as soon as the holy decree came, many people began to visit Liu Qi's mansion, but most of them were middle and low-level officials, and the important ministers in the court gave a gift at most, but people would not go.
Silly!
The saint is only thirty years old, and it is no problem to live another thirty or forty years with the body of the saint, although King De was made the crown prince, but it is still early to ascend the throne.
Which of these important ministers of the court is not older than the saint, and nine times out of ten they will kick their legs in front of the saint, do they need to tie up the prince?
And at this time, isn't it to make the saint unhappy?
How many of them are fools?
However, the East Palace has a new owner, so the three divisions and the three young masters must also be matched, and there are also many people staring at these positions.
The third teacher is from the first grade, and the third young is from the second grade, although there is no real power, but after all, he is the prince's teacher, and the status is different, and there are many people who are excited.
But in the same way, Li Ye also matched the officials of the Di Wang Mansion of Li Zhen in a short period of time, and the lineup was not bad, which made many people a little incomprehensible.
"Li Zhen, you yourself sent someone to Taifu Temple to hand over, and I rewarded you with 3,000 acres of fertile land from the imperial village, located in Shangzhou. You did a good job before, and you were wronged to be a wicked person. ”
On the polo field, after playing polo, Li Ye said to Li Zhen.
After Concubine Li died, she was buried in Lantian.
Like Qin Shi Huang, Li Ye began to think about the mausoleum after death when he was alive.
The cemetery planned by Li Ye is in Lantian County, located in the east of Chang'an City, which is also built on the mountain, and coincidentally, it is across the mountain from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.
To put it simply, the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty were a bit messy, and the previous imperial tombs were distributed in the six counties of Guanzhong, and he planned to find a place with excellent feng shui in Lantian to build a royal tomb group.
There are other people taking care of these things, and he doesn't have to keep an eye on them all the time.
"Three thousand acres of fertile land? It's still Huangzhuang's! Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't close his mouth happily.
The fields in Huangzhuang are all real fertile land, and 3,000 mu is not a small number, you must know that the hereditary Yongye field of the county prince is only 3,500 mu.
"Extra reward for you. Over the years, you have served in the local government, and others who don't know still think that I have snubbed you and demoted you to a local position. Li Ye said with a smile.
Li Zhen hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty's intentions are understood, and the ministers have no complaints in their hearts, and I hope Your Majesty will see clearly." ”
"Okay, okay, weren't you quite bold before?" Li Ye said angrily, "The reason why you and Li Yingxu are allowed to go to the local post is because you don't have the status of a jinshi, even if I give you a jinshi status, it is useless; Second, I need talents who can be of great use, not officials who only hear about the affairs of the court and do not know the suffering of the people.
Letting you go to the local post will not only allow you to get training, but with these experiences, even if I entrust you with heavy use, others will not be able to say anything. ”
"Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the ministers are ashamed." Li Zhen smiled and complimented.
"Don't say these polite words, I heard that some people have other opinions about my love for King Di?" Li Ye's words changed and turned to the head of Li Zhen, the king of Di.
Although King Di did not enter the East Palace in the end, he got the Shouwang Mansion where the saint once lived as the palace to open the palace, which obviously surprised many people.
In addition, even the appointment of the officials of the Di Palace, which is also a bit surprising.
Wu Qi, the provincial counselor of Menxia Province, is the history of the head of the Di Wangfu, and many of the other Di Wangfu personnel are new and up-and-coming scholars from the imperial examination.
The people in the East Palace have not yet been matched, but the subordinates of the Di Wangfu here are being matched at a very fast speed, can there be officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee who are not confused?
"Your Majesty, there are some people who are mentioning this, but they are all a group of ordinary officials, and Your Majesty does not need to be angry about this."
Although Li Zhen said lightly, he still had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't want to ask more about this matter.
Before, he was so bold because of the need of the saints, but now he is not.
"You're confused, aren't you?" Li Ye smiled slightly, "Don't wonder, I did this on purpose."
It's not just for balance, although the crown prince has no bad deeds and is relatively benevolent, but as a king, this is not enough.
Since King Di has a heart, let him try, which can be regarded as honing the character of the prince and learning how to be a qualified prince.
It's either that he is in the East Palace now, or that he has peace of mind, and I need to give him a sense of crisis. ”
"Your Majesty." Li Zhen was still a little confused.
"I'm not done yet." Li Ye glanced at Li Zhen, who was rushing to speak, "It's a pity that the other princes are a little younger, otherwise I would have planned to let them open a mansion and build a government." ”
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, is it?" Li Zhen is considered to be a saint, this is planning to let a group of princes fight there, isn't the situation chaotic?
"I don't want my princes to be a bunch of mediocre talents, I can give them the opportunity to exercise, and of course I will find a place to settle them, and there will not be the kind of chaos that you are worried about." Li Ye said confidently.
Although he looked very confident at Shengshang, Li Zhen was also a little weak in his heart, is this really okay?
He also couldn't understand why the saint was so confident, although there had been this situation before, and it was successful, but this is different?
It's about the country, if the saint lets all the princes come out, can the prince bear it?
How to place these princes, Li Ye naturally has his ideas.
There must be only one throne, but he can divide the capable prince and expand the territory for the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, the place where it is divided will not be too good, for example, Jinzhou, which has a population of only 1,000 people now, or the south of the Protectorate of Annam and Nanzhao, or the land of Dongying, or the Western Regions.
These places do not belong to the Tang Dynasty at present, but he is confident that he will conquer them one by one in his lifetime, and when the time comes, he will divide these capable princes.
As for whether to tear the soil and become emperor in the future, or die and disappear, it depends on the ability of these princes.
