Chapter Sixty-Eight

"Yes, it's Li Zhen!" Li Deyu looked up at the window, his gaze was deep and complex. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty has not yet established the queen, among the Yun King Li Wen, Yongwang Li Mi, Yawang Li Jing, Kui Wang Li Zi, and Qing King Li Yi, only King Yun and Li Zhen are close in age, and the rest of the kings are still young, so there will inevitably be some competition between Li Zhen and King Yun on the issue of the crown prince! And Chao Meiren, the mother of King Yun, is deeply favored by His Majesty, if Li Zhen wants to compete for the crown prince, it is not impossible, but it is bound to take a lot of twists and turns! ”

"This ......" Li Chengye was a little at a loss, although he had raised Li Zhen for eleven years, but he had never thought about this question, at this time Li Deyu suddenly brought it up, and Li Chengye's heart suddenly became extremely nervous.

After all, he used to be just a small county magistrate, and even now he is sitting in the position of Jiangling Mansion Yin, but the battle for the crown prince is still too far away from him.

And now, as Li Zhen's identity is gradually exposed, this problem is inevitably presented in front of Li Chengye.

For these, Li Chengye has no experience at all, and he doesn't know how to do it.

"And don't forget, Chao Meiren's daughter, Princess Wanshou, is also deeply favored by His Majesty, so Li Zhen's position is more and more worrying!"

"But, according to Li Zhen's temperament, I'm afraid he is not interested in the position of the crown prince!" Li Chengye knows Li Zhen's temperament very well, for now, Li Zhen's lazy temperament when he sees money, and he is not interested in the throne, even if he becomes the emperor, he is afraid that it will be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty, and it is the kind that will be left for thousands of years.

Li Deyu smiled when he heard this, and said: "Ziyun is in Jingnan far away from the court, and he knows very little about the affairs of the court, in other words, even if Li Zhen doesn't have this mind, who believes it?" For King Yun and Chao Meiren, this kind of thing would rather be believed than believed! ”

"So, no matter whether Li Zhen has this mind or not, Chao Meiren and King Yun will definitely not let Li Zhen go, since ancient times, in order to compete for the prince, there are few things of fratricide?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengye was suddenly drenched in a cold sweat, what Li Deyu said was good, no matter whether Li Zhen had this mind or not, but the fact that he was always a strong competitor to the crown prince could not be changed, so Chao Meiren and King Yun had to suppress him.

"Then I hope that the envoy will not hesitate to give advice!" Li Chengye hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Deyu again.

"Hehe, Ziyun thinks the old man is here to trouble you this time?" Li Deyu waved his hand and motioned for Li Chengye to sit down and speak.

"Li Zhen's son seems to be stubborn, but there is a kind of perseverance in his bones, just like Liu Rui's matter, for the sake of an unknown folk girl to openly provoke the five-grade officials of the imperial court, who did this? The old man is jealous and hateful all his life, but he doesn't have the courage to ask himself! ”

Li Chengye nodded lightly when he heard this, and fell into deep thought for a while.

"And Li Zhen's thoughtfulness is far beyond ordinary people, even the old man has been negligent for a while, although they are all some shady carving insect skills, but sometimes this kind of small trick can make a big deal, to say a big disrespectful word, His Majesty pretended to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, how can this not be a small trick? But no one would have thought that it would be His Majesty who had the last laugh! ”

Speaking of this, Li Deyu's face showed a trace of helplessness, although he was not involved in Wuzong's persecution of King Guang at the beginning, he was more or less inevitably involved.

If this is the case, it may be because of his own self-inflicted fault that he ended up in the field he is in now.

Li Chengye naturally didn't know what Li Deyu was thinking at this time, and he was facing a difficult choice at this moment.

The choice of fighting or not fighting, the choice of helping or not helping. But, how to fight? How to help? Li Chengye was at a loss.

At this time, I heard Li Deyu say again: "The problem that Li Zhen is facing now is that there is no foundation in the DPRK and China, which is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing!" ”

Li Chengye was a little puzzled when he heard this, this sentence didn't sound like a good thing anyway.

"Hehe, the reason why it is said to be a good thing is because it is at this time that it is easiest to gain His Majesty's trust, firstly, to compensate for the eleven years of debt, and secondly, it is also the easiest to win the hearts of a group of people!"

"Win people's hearts? Today, His Majesty hates party strife the most, wouldn't it be ...... if this is the case" Li Chengye wanted to speak and stopped, if he wanted to talk about party strife, wasn't the person in front of him the leader of the Li Party?

"Isn't that tantamount to forming a party for personal gain?" Li Deyu smiled slightly.

Li Chengye nodded and did not speak.

Li Deyu laughed loudly and said: "Although Ziyun is in the temple, he has not yet seen through the temple affairs, as long as there are interests in the world, there must be fights, party disputes are inevitable, the key is how Your Majesty balances!" Skillfully balanced is the blessing of the court, the blessing of the world, and poor balance is the disaster of the court and the world! ”

"If there is no Li Zhen's existence, then the ministers above the court will inevitably flatter King Yun in every way, if King Yun is virtuous, if he is deaf and incompetent, he will inevitably be a traitor and a virtuous minister, then how can Your Majesty rest assured? But now that Li Zhen has appeared, everything has infinite possibilities! ”

"Your Majesty also has another choice, so in Your Majesty's opinion, this is not a party dispute, at best it is just a good opportunity to consider your own son! In the face of this huge interest, which is better and which is inferior at a glance! ”

After saying that, Li Deyu smiled again, glanced at Li Chengye, and continued: "So whether Your Majesty keeps you in the capital or transfers you to the feudal town this time, Ziyun must take this opportunity to win over some virtuous ministers for Li Zhen, which will definitely come in handy in the future!" ”

Li Chengye nodded after hearing this, Li Deyu's words completely woke him up, but at the same time, it also added a heavy burden to his shoulders, I thought that His Majesty would be easier after recognizing Li Zhen, but now it seems that he is thinking too simple after all.

"I have ordered Yan Shuo to select five hundred elite horsemen to escort you into Beijing, I want to be safe on the way, you can prepare tomorrow, and set off early the day after tomorrow!" Li Deyu got up and patted Li Chengye on the shoulder and said softly.

"That envoy ......" Li Chengye was apologetic after all, if it weren't for his secret letter, everything must be going according to Li Deyu's plan at this time, and even Li Deyu would return to the court.

But now, he has personally cut off Li Deyu's path, and also cut off the only glimmer of hope in Li Deyu's heart.

seemed to sense the uneasiness in Li Chengye's heart, and saw Li Deyu laugh and say, "Hahaha! There is a fixed number in the dark, the old man's luck is exhausted, no wonder others, and if Li Zhen inherits the unification in the future, the old man still has a chance! ”

Li Chengye felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this, but at this moment, he had to nod his head again and again.

"Okay, the old man originally came to settle accounts with you, but in the end, it seems that the old man did something wrong! Hehe, don't talk about it, it's time for the old man to eat tea, farewell! ”
