As the person in charge of the liaison office of Taiyuan Wang, the first thing to do is to be well-informed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This is the most basic professional quality, the big and small news that happens within Chang'an City, no matter what the nature, Wang Ran must know it as soon as possible, and then pass it on to the Taiyuan Wang family as soon as possible.

Therefore, Wang Ran has naturally heard about the recent rumors of the establishment of the prince in Chang'an City, and he has transmitted the news back to the Taiyuan royal family very early, and the core members of the Taiyuan royal family have unanimously concluded that it is almost no suspense that Li Tai, the king of Wei, was appointed as the prince.

People all over the world make a mistake called "habitual thinking".

What they see is the fact that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is indeed a very competitive prince, and he is particularly good at reading, and he can sit and laugh with the great Confucians of the world, and he is relatively low-key, and rarely does those bad things that bully the people, Li Shimin can be said to be extremely fond of this prince, and has made many special decrees for him, such as allowing him not to go to the place to take office, he lives in Changxingfang, where he lives in Chang'an City, and all the people and businessmen in the square are exempt from taxes for three years, and often summon him into the palace to play right, and the monarch and the father and son not only discuss the sages and sages. also talked about state affairs and court affairs, of course, it is common for the two to drink and have fun in the same hall and enjoy singing and dancing together.

In addition, after the failure of Li Chengqian's rebellion, King Wei has become the first prince in line to the throne, so many appearances and objective factors have accumulated together, if the next prince of the Tang Dynasty is not Li Tai, I am afraid that everyone in the world will find it incredible.

Of course, Wang Ran also thinks so, or rather, the entire Taiyuan Wang family thinks so, so when Li Shimin married the Wang family, the Wang family was grateful, but they were not too excited after all. Because they know very well that Li Tai, the king of Wei, is already the prince without suspense, so of course Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is the free prince without suspense, for the Wang family, Li Zhi is not important, the important thing is the identity of the king of Jin, he is just a link between the Wang family and the thick legs of the heavenly family, this bond is important, but in the eyes of the Wang family, it is not too important.

What's more, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to kill each other in the Heavenly Family Palace, and Li Shimin is an example of these negative energies. Many years later, if the king of Wei ascended the throne and became the emperor, Li Zhi as his younger brother of the same father and mother, and the son of the emperor, his identity is so sensitive, it is difficult to say how Li Tai will treat this younger brother after becoming the emperor, as Li Zhi's father-in-law, the Taiyuan Wang family will undoubtedly be implicated and dragged down, and bear a certain risk of joint sitting, so this family affair is really good and bad for the Wang family, like chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon it, and I am afraid of knocking my teeth when I eat it.

Taiyuan Wang's family is this mentality, so Li Zhi was involved in the murder case, and finally banned Zongzheng Temple, the Wang family will turn a blind eye, and even many people inside are secretly relieved, only hope that Li Shimin can be a little ashamed, the two family affairs are invalidated, and the heavenly family can wait for the next opportunity, but it must not be a time bomb for the Wang family.

Every big family has a long-term plan for the future, and the Wang family is no exception, but in the part of their plan, Li Zhi's weight is not heavy, a prince who cannot become a prince, even if it is a descendant, it does not have much effect on the Wang family, on the contrary, there are more hidden dangers.

All kinds of arrangements and plans, after Li Su took the initiative to come to the door to state the benefits, Wang Ran hesitated.

I have to say that Li Su's words are really reasonable, and they are more far-reaching than the core members of the Wang family.

Yes, can Li Tai, the king of Wei, really become the crown prince?

Wang Ran is the second son of the head of the Wang family, and is a veritable core disciple of the Taiyuan Wang family, whether it is politically sensitive or judging the situation, it is extraordinary, Li Su's words shocked Wang Ran, as if opening the door to a new world for him, and in that door, there is another wonderful scenery, the scenery is wonderful, and I didn't even dare to think about it before.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, seems to have infinite scenery, but the sacred heart is unpredictable, who knows what he thinks in his heart today? Does pampering this child necessarily make him the prince? What's more, when it comes to favor, King Jin is also the eldest grandson of the queen, and he is not inferior to King Wei in the slightest, why is everyone only optimistic about King Wei?

Needless to say, really smart people can often draw inferences, Wang Ran is a smart person, from Li Su's words, Wang Ran also heard some unfinished meanings.

The Taiyuan Wang clan is one of the Shandong clans, Wang Ran is the core son of the Wang family, and many things that outsiders don't know, Wang Ran knows very well. He knew that Li Shimin had been deliberately wooing the Shandong Shi clan over the years, and he also knew that there were more and more open and dark conflicts between Guan Longmen and Li Shimin in many aspects such as state affairs and scholars.

If "forming a party" is the way for the king of Wei to take trouble, then the Guanlongmen valve is a thorn in Li Shimin's heart, Wang Ran knows that the king of Wei and the Guanlongmen valve have a close relationship, and it doesn't matter when the king of Wei Li Tai is just the prince, but if Li Shimin wants to choose the candidate for the prince, the king of Wei will undoubtedly commit Li Shimin's taboo, so it is really difficult to say whether the future prince of the Tang Dynasty is the king of Wei or not.

After a short conversation, Wang Ran's attitude changed unconsciously.

Li Su quietly looked at Wang Ran's thoughtful face on the side, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but pull a subtle arc.

He knew that his purpose had been accomplished.

"Brother Wang is a smart person, and it is always easy to talk to smart people, now Brother Wang must have figured it out?" Li Su said with a smile.

Wang Ran glared at him and snorted, obviously Li Su's words moved him, but he still hadn't forgotten the grudge between Li Su and the Wang family.

Li Su laughed and said: "It doesn't matter how the Wang family hates me, but King Jin is the son-in-law of your Wang family, not to mention, if King Jin really enters the East Palace, your Wang family will soar into the sky, but there are no benefits in the world for no reason, the Wang family wants to get these, of course, they have to pay a little price, take a little risk, and by the way, they are also loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, otherwise on the day His Royal Highness the King of Jin ascended the throne, how could he remember the Wang family's assistance to him over the years?" ”

Wang Ran snorted and said: "That's right, but these are just your own guesses, don't forget, King Jin is now a prisoner, not to mention winning the East Palace, even if the prince can keep it, if the Wang family helped the King of Jin this time, it was the King of Wei who came to the throne in the end, if the King of Wei turned over the old accounts, wouldn't it put the Wang family in a desperate situation?" ”

Li Su smiled and sighed: "I don't want to be stabbed, but I open my mouth and want to eat meat, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" If the Wang family doesn't have the courage, it's better to honestly nest in their hometown and learn from Yugong to move mountains, why come to this dangerous and treacherous place in Chang'an to join in the fun? Li Mou's words are all here, whether to listen or not, it all depends on the choice of the Wang family. ”

After speaking, Li Su stood up, brushed his back casually, and planned to leave.

Wang Ran's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly stopped him.

"Li County is slow and slow!"

Li Su turned to look at him, his gaze was calm.

Wang Ran hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "If the Wang family is willing to help King Jin get out of this predicament, how much does it need to pay?" ”

Li Su said without thinking: "All, how much strength is there, not only the Taiyuan Wang clan, I want the strength of your entire Shandong clan." ”

Wang Ran was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "This matter is important, I ...... It must be discussed with the elders of the family, and the news may return and return for more than 10 days......"

Li Su shook his head: "It's too late, the Shandong Shi clan must make a move within three days, otherwise, there is no point in making another move." ”

Wang Ran's body shook and fell silent again.

After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth fiercely: "Okay, I'll be the master of my own hands!" But I need to know how Li Xiangong arranged, if I think your plan is flawed, don't blame me for continuing to stand by! ”

…………

…………

Stepping on the afterglow of the sunset, Li Su walked out of the gate of the Wang family with satisfaction.

Wang Ran didn't send off the guests, but still sat alone in the front hall, looking at a peach tree in the courtyard outside the hall in a daze.

As a child of the family, and is the core child of the family, Wang Ran has borne too many responsibilities, and the burden on his shoulders is very heavy, of course, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Taiyuan Wang family is not very easy, on the surface to submit to the emperor, but in fact secretly with the emperor for profit, for officials, for power, for local prestige, the century-old family can be prosperous, it is nothing more than sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Li Su's visit today undoubtedly made Wang Ran have an epiphany, although he didn't want to admit it, but Wang Ran had to say in his heart that he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment today.

Yes, "fighting", it is better to "cooperate", Li's country has become more and more stable, Zhenguan Dynasty not only has the foundation of a prosperous era, but also the use of foreign troops is also a hundred victories, all countries are vying to come to the court, this kind of weather, Li Su said that Li can sit for hundreds of years, this sentence Wang Ran has to agree.

A dynasty that can sit on the country for hundreds of years, has the most elite soldiers and horses in the world, and there are scholars and people who continue to return to their hearts year after year, under the trend of the times, what else is there to fight for? Contention will have the scourge of exterminating the family and slaughtering the family.

Since it can't be argued, it must be sincerely attached to the submission, but surrender can not always maintain the prosperity of the family, the important thing is to establish an indestructible bond of interests with the royal family of the Heavenly Family, this bond is the beginning of the Tengda of the Taiyuan Wang family, then, the role of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is very great. Because he is the link between the royal family and the royal family.

Regardless of whether Li Zhi can become the crown prince or not, his role in the Wang family is crucial, with the existence of Li Zhi, the Wang family will be able to have a steady stream of contacts with the royal family in the future, and there will always be more opportunities to make the relationship between the Wang family and the royal family closer and closer.

What moved Wang Ran by Li Su was not whether Li Zhi could be the prince, but that Li Zhi could not be fine.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Ran suddenly raised his voice in the empty corridor outside the hall: "Someone is coming." ”

A subordinate appeared silently outside the hall like a ghost, standing solemnly.

Wang Ran's eyes suddenly opened, and he commanded lightly: "First, eight hundred miles of fast horses, send news to Wang's house, and tell the master of the family that the king of Jin must not be lost." ”

"Second, in my name, I invite the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Cui family in Boling, the Lu family in Fanyang and other big clans to gather tomorrow, and I invite them to hunt outside the city."

The servant saluted without saying a word, turned around and disappeared like a ghost.

Silence returned to the hall, Wang Ran suddenly smiled, and muttered to himself: "First say it with reason, then move it with emotion, and finally lure it with profit, this Li Su ...... is really eloquent, a young man who becomes famous, if he is really famous, if the king of Jin is assisted by him, the position of the prince should not be a castle in the air......"

***********************************************************

Soshoji Temple.

Li Zhi frowned and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

When he saw her for the first time, Li Zhi was quite amazed in his heart, just looking at her appearance, it was really exciting, but as soon as Wu opened his mouth, Li Zhi was disgusted.

For no other reason, because the Wu clan is too sharp.

is just a maid, but at this moment, like a hero of the world, in front of him, the prince impassionedly pointed out the country, and evaluated the heroes of the world, this feeling is really bad, if it weren't for Li Zhi's good cultivation, he would have gone long ago.

Looking at the delicate Wu clan in front of him, Li Zhi couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

There is such a scheming maid in the mansion, does Brother Zizheng know?

"Can the Shandong Shi Clan help me?" Li Zhi asked lightly.

Seeing Li Zhi's indifferent expression, Wu sighed secretly in his heart.

She knew that she had aroused Li Zhi's disgust, because she was too eager to show herself, and the first acquaintance between the two today really didn't have a good start.

But she was also helpless, because ...... She was in a hurry.

This time she came out to see Li Zhi privately, she couldn't play Li Su's signboard, it was not easy to sneak into Zongzheng Temple, Wu's few savings were used to open up the joints of Zongzheng Temple, and she only got a stick of incense to meet for an hour.

Therefore, although the Wu clan knew that he had aroused Li Zhi's disgust, he still had to bite the bullet and say: "Yes, the Shandong Shi clan will definitely be willing to help His Highness." ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”

"Because His Royal Highness is the son-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, and because His Royal Highness is His Majesty's son-in-law, the Taiyuan Wang family needs a bond that is closely connected with the royal family, and this bond cannot be lost."

Li Zhi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zizheng said this?" ”

Wu chuckled and said, "Your Highness, I just said that when I met His Highness today, Grandpa Li didn't know anything. ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Then you tell me, even if the Taiyuan Wang clan is willing to help me get out of trouble, who will lobby them?" What are the reasons to impress them? I'm the one who connects me? After impressing them, how can they help me? ”

Wu Shi looked at Li Zhi's face quietly, and sighed faintly: "Your Highness, you have always disbelieved me, teach me how to speak?" ”

Li Zhi said coldly: "You pretended to be amazing, but in fact you didn't say anything, teach me how to trust you?" ”

The Wu clan raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, if you want to impress the Taiyuan Wang clan, I can act as a lobbyist, and the reason for impressing them is very simple, because His Royal Highness has the hope of competing for the prince!" ”

Li Zhi was shocked, his expression finally rose a little panicked, and he looked around in a panic, and after finding that there was no one nearby, he glared at her fiercely, lowered his voice and said angrily: "Is the cheap girl looking for death!" How can such a thing be said nonsense! This king has no ambitions, when will he have the heart to compete for the crown? ”
