Chapter 818: Confusing
Li Su was very surprised, he didn't expect that Li Yifu would have a way to solve the problem that he had no clue about. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
still underestimate the world.
The guy who can become the prime minister of a country in the future, regardless of whether his character is good or bad, his ability is very remarkable, otherwise he will not be able to achieve the position of a supreme minister.
Facing Li Su's expectant gaze, Li Yifu didn't dare to go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "The danger of the King of Jin, the danger is weak, it cannot be denied, the King of Jin is indeed young, only sixteen years old this year, since the death of the eldest grandson queen, His Majesty pity his young mother, and he is a descendant, so he and the princess of Jinyang will stay by his side, personally raised, whether His Majesty is dealing with state affairs or convening courtiers to discuss matters, there are always King Jin and Princess Jinyang around the knee noisy, the courtiers are also very fond of him, often teasing him with some small objects, these years have passed, Gradually, there was an irreversible impression in the hearts of the courtiers, even if the King of Jin is now sixteen years old, has been awarded the crown ceremony, and is a responsible adult, the King of Jin in their eyes is still the noisy child back then......"
"This impression has become the most disadvantageous disadvantage of the King of Jin competing for the crown prince, Grandpa Li should know that the courtiers love the King of Jin, and the courtiers support the King of Jin are two completely different things, love the King of Jin, is it for the sake of the King of Jin or a child, but if it is not the case when it comes to supporting the King of Jin as the prince, no courtier is willing to easily entrust the position of the prince of a country to a child, especially ......"
Li Yifu hesitated for a moment, but continued: "In particular, the King of Jin is a little weak and gentle, and he has no opinions, and most of the courtiers will not think that the Tang Dynasty needs to be more suitable for the national conditions in the future, yes, even if the King of Jin takes the initiative to win over the courtiers and the independent camp, I am afraid that there are not many people who are willing to support him, if we want to assist the King of Jin as the prince, I am afraid that the means of winning over the courtiers will have little effect, this time His Majesty ordered the prince to go out of Beijing, and he could have contacted the ministers of the court to intercede for the King of Jin, after all, the King of Jin is the son-in-law, Unlike other princes, under the unanimous voice, there is a thirty percent chance that His Majesty may take advantage of the situation to respond to the invitation of the ministers, but most of the courtiers treat the King of Jin as a child, and this time His Majesty deliberately made the appearance of treating them equally, and the courtiers are willing to intercede for the King of Jin There are only a few people, this way ...... Absolutely not. ”
Li Su rubbed his nose.
Li Yifu said this, Li Su had thought of it a long time ago, and the conclusion was the same as Li Yifu, it was inappropriate to create public opinion to contact the courtiers to intercede for the King of Jin, Li Shimin not only would not agree, but would expose the intention of the King of Jin to fight for the East Palace, so that he would feel disgusted, which would definitely do more harm than good.
Li Su said with a smile: "Brother Li is high-minded, and he coincides with me, if you want to solve this matter, I am afraid it will not work from the court." ”
Li Yifu smiled, and his smile suddenly became a little sly.
"Grandpa Li, it really won't work to start with the court, we can go another way......"
"Which way?"
Li Yifu said leisurely: "The appearance of the matter is actually very simple, it boils down to only one sentence,—— Your Majesty wants to send all the adult princes out of Chang'an, go to the local governor or assassin history, and grant the real position, so the current pool of water in the court is actually very clear, and the bottom can be seen...... It's not good if the water is too clear, there is no inside story, only appearances, you can't hide secrets, and you can't hide if you want to do something secret, so if you want Your Majesty to take back your life and leave the King of Jin in Chang'an, you can only muddy the water in this pool, Your Majesty will be suspicious, and then regain concerns, and the King of Jin may be left behind......"
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration seemed to flash in his mind, and the troubles that he had been entangled for several days instantly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Yes, why are your eyes always fixed on the court and the emperor? Of course, it is a palace to make a move, but to solve the trouble, you don't have to start with the palace, one road can't go through, you can change to another road.
I have to admire Li Yifu, even Li Su didn't figure out the joint, he actually thought of it, it was really a smart person with eight faces, he just ran over, and immediately began to reflect his own value.
"Brother Li, you might as well talk about it in detail." Li Su's face moved slightly.
Li Yifu laughed twice, stroked his sparse long beard, and said slowly: "The so-called prince went out of Beijing, it is said that a supervisor named Feng Du was the first to go to the sparse, and then many imperial histories followed the trend and seconded it, His Majesty couldn't push it, so he made an order, what is the origin of this Feng Du, the lower officials are not clear, but it is certain that this matter is not done by Feng Du alone, a small imperial history, not enough to have the courage to risk offending all the princes, on this thankless performance, there must be someone behind him, As for who is this commander...... Hehe, maybe it's the prince who stayed in Chang'an, or maybe it's another prince who is out of the palace, so he is suspicious, and the hand of others gets rid of the prince step by step, and any possibility cannot be ruled out. ”
Li Su became more and more surprised, at this point, Li Yifu thought more far-reaching than him, originally Li Su only locked up Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the eldest grandson Wuji, but Li Yifu proposed the second possibility.
It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, although it is extremely unlikely.
If the prince wants to compete for the prince, the biggest enemy is naturally Li Tai and Li Zhi, who will be the first to divide and attack, and Li Zhi will be separated from Chang'an, so that others will suspect that it is Li Taibu's bureau, and the sons will be suspicious of each other and hostile to each other, who will benefit in the end?
There's so much to write about here.
Li Yifu continued: "In short, the water in the Chang'an court seems to be clear, but it is actually turbid, but the turbid place is hidden in the dark, ordinary people can't find it, in this case, we want to ensure that His Royal Highness the King of Jin stays in Chang'an, we can only choose to muddy the water, the more muddy and chaotic the better, the King of Jin is already in a crisis, if you can't put it to death and come back to life, I am afraid it will be difficult to break this crisis." ”
Li Su pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Brother Li just said that if you want to break this situation, you must take a different path, and said that you will completely muddy this pool of water, where can you ask for advice?" ”
Li Yifu looked directly at Li Su and said, "Create an incident and lead to trouble." ”
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
***************************************************************
Tai Chi Palace.
Chang Tu knelt in front of Li Shimin, and with an expressionless face, he played the news that his subordinates had just found.
"According to investigation, the supervision of the imperial history Feng Du, Henan poor peasant family, poor family studious, Zhenguan in the first year of Henan drought, Feng Du with his family fled to the pass, settled in Lantian County, the court to care for the refugees, to the Feng family six acres of good land, exempt from taxes for three years, the Feng family got a respite, then dedicated to studying to gain fame, Zhenguan eight years, Feng Du to the township tribute and into the Ming Dynasty, and later the investment bank involved in the palace of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the King of Shu recommended in the imperial court, then hired as the head of the Ministry of Rites......"
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes shone brightly, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Li Su, the king of Shu? Are you sure you got it right? ”
Chang Tu lowered his head and said: "The old slave doesn't dare to bully the king, and what he said is true." ”
A hint of disbelief flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, and he said coldly: "Go on." ”
Chang Tu continued: "...... Feng Du from Zhenguan eight years began to serve as the head of the Ministry of Rites, lasted six years, Zhenguan fourteen years, Feng Du was transferred to supervise the imperial history, picketing the official discipline and lawlessness, the term of office is quite popular, Wei Zheng has repeatedly praised him for not being afraid of power, dare to speak out about grievances, until now, Feng Du is still supervising the imperial history, and there is no transfer. ”
Li Shimin frowned: "How could he have anything to do with the King of Shu?" The King of Shu has never been enterprising, arbitrary and willful, and rarely recommends talents for the imperial court, how could this Feng Du think of investing in the palace of the King of Shu in the first place? Besides, none of my princes are willing to leave Chang'an, including the King of Shu, who often says that he is sick and stays in Chang'an for several years and still does not leave, Feng Du's song on the road even includes the King of Shu, what does he mean? ”
Chang Tu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Do you want the old slave to arrest Feng Du and put him in prison?" The old slave has a lot of experience in torture, ordinary people can't last more than half an hour under the old slave, and everything they know is recruited......"
Li Shimin glared at him fiercely, and said: "Feng Du is just a trick, Wei Zheng has only been dead for a few days, and there are people in the court who have been convicted for their words, if I take Feng Du to prison, do you want the people of the world to scold me for being a faint king?" ”
Chang Tu hung his head: "The old slave doesn't dare." ”
Li Shimin snorted and said, "Ask your people to pay close attention to Feng Du's every move, and report anything abnormal in time." ”
"Yes."
"Only surveillance, no action against him."
"Yes."
"After I made the decree, how did the princes react?"
"All the princes are reluctant to leave Beijing, after learning that it was Feng Du who took the lead in admonishing him, they all scolded him, and yesterday His Royal Highness the King of Yue also led a group of meritorious disciples to throw torches at Feng Du's mansion, almost burning his house."
Li Shimin's face was angry, he snorted heavily, and said, "These things are not angry! ”
Slowly closing his eyes, countless thoughts flashed through Li Shimin's mind at this moment.
Li Su, King of Shu...... It turned out to be the king of Shu.
However, was it really him who instructed Feng Du behind his back?
The King of Shu is a typical gentleman, with a good hunting and fishing temperament, a short-tempered temperament, he has never participated in any affairs in the court, and he has almost no connections in the court, how can such a person have nothing to do to instruct Feng Du to go on the path that is not good for him? Unless he took the wrong medicine and took more Wushisan.
However, Li Shimin thought about it and thought of a fact that was extremely scary.
Li Su, the king of Shu, is the younger brother of Li Ke, the king of Wu, and is born by the same father and mother, what if this matter is secretly instigated by Li Ke, the king of Wu? If so, what is his purpose?
A small imperial history, with such a complicated relationship and conspiracy behind it, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
"You stand down first, I ...... Think again. Li Shimin waved his hand weakly at Chang Tu.
He often bowed his head and withdrew from the temple.
Li Shimin was the only one left in the hall, and only then did he slowly close his eyes, spit out a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and looked extremely tired.
Li Shimin is not a faint monarch, he has been the emperor for 18 years, and he has taken care of the court and the world vigorously over the years, and all kinds of wastes are thriving, and the faint monarch can't do such a great cause.
The events of the past few days flashed in his mind one by one like watching the lights, and all the incidents, whether they were conspiracies, actually pointed to the same thing, the prince of the East Palace.
The eldest son Li Chengqian was deposed, and the East Palace had not been established for a long time, and the most anxious person was not Li Shimin, but the ministers of the court and the people of the world, as well as those families who were eyeing him.
The crown prince has not been established, there is no successor, and the hearts of the subjects in the world are turbulent, these are all unstable factors, not to mention that Li Shimin is actively preparing to personally conquer Goguryeo, if the problem of the prince is not solved, there will be no prince in the country, and there will be no one in charge of the country, so teach him how to rest assured about the Eastern Crusade?
"It seems...... It's really time to make a prince. Li Shimin muttered.
