Chapter 333 Candidate for the Prince of the East Palace

An Sishun said it very directly, but also a little desperate.

Li Heng smiled slightly, "This palace knows that you are loyal to the court, but there is no doubt about him." An Lushan supports the army and respects himself, and he has become a country in Fanyang, and if he does not respect the decrees of the imperial court, he will rebel sooner or later, which is a well-known thing in the world. ”

"You are in Jiannan, if you can appease the southwest for the imperial court, deter the southern edict, and if there is any change in the thief of Fan Yang, immediately report to the imperial court, and the palace will be at ease."

"Your Highness's grace, and the courtier's feeling is zero. Ministers should die for His Highness! An Sishun arched his hand and said respectfully, "This time I went to Beijing to report on my work, and the minister has brought all his family members back to Chang'an, and after His Royal Highness's enthronement ceremony and the wedding of King Yongning, the minister should go to Jiannan alone, perform his duties loyally, and dare not have a trace of slackness!" ”

An Sishun's attitude is very sincere and resolute.

The suspicion in Li Heng's heart finally dissipated most of it, and he nodded with satisfaction, "It's okay for your family to stay in Chang'an, Jiannan is a barbarian, and it is not as rich and prosperous as Chang'an after all!" This palace heard that your eldest son is quite literate, so he will stay in Beijing to stay in the spring of next year, and also take a background to serve the imperial court! ”

"When the imperial court is now employing people, the palace should be eclectic and talented!" When An Sishun heard Li Heng say this, the uneasiness in his heart was slightly reduced.

If he can get Li Heng's trust, what if he uses the excuse to cut off relations with Yilushan and leave his family in Beijing. He is willing to do so, as long as he can change this status quo of exclusion and oppression.

In fact, most of the family members of the Tang Dynasty stayed in Beijing, which was a kind of hostage in disguise.

Ge Shuhan is like this, Zhang Xuān is like this, Cheng Qianli and Yang Qi are like this.

An Sishun took the initiative to bring his family into Beijing this time, and Yan Zhenqing also transported his family into Chang'an in advance, which was nothing more than to eliminate the suspicion of the imperial court.

If it weren't for this unwritten unspoken rule, Zhang Xuān would have been in Longshuo, and he would definitely have to take Cui Ying and some family members with him.

An Sishun knew each other like this, and Li Heng felt very comfortable in his heart.

Although he still couldn't completely put his mind at ease, his suspicions were greatly reduced, and he no longer insisted on transferring An Sishun to Beijing. Of course, he also knew in his heart that mobilizing the feudal towns at this juncture would definitely cause chaos ♀ and was the key to his impulse.

An Sishun said goodbye in fear.

When Zhang Xuān and Chen Xian were about to leave, Li Heng suddenly opened his mouth and said softly, "Zizhan, Chen Xiang, there is something to inquire about in this palace." ”

"Your Highness, please speak! Don't dare to disobey. Chen Xian and Zhang Xuān bowed together and replied.

"The palace is about to ascend the throne, in order to avoid the harem moving dàng, when the queen concubine and the prince of the east palace should be canonized in time... Only for the candidate for the prince of the East Palace, the palace is a little hesitant. ”

Li Heng sighed and said, "There are more than ten sons in this palace, and Li Yu, the king of Chu, is the eldest son, but Li Yu has just committed the felony of forcing the palace, so he is not among the candidates for the prince." However, except for the youngest son Li Xi, who is still young, the other kings are quite accomplished in literature and martial arts, and the palace has been weighing for a while, and it is difficult to make up their minds. Chen Xian's face changed, this kind of important matter of setting up a prince is very important, how dare he say anything.

If one is not done well, he will be in the whirlpool of imperial power and cannot extricate himself.

Chen Xian hesitated, while Zhang Xuān frowned, and said in his heart What kind of calculation is Li Heng doing÷ the situation is already obvious, Li Yu is not worthy of being the emperor, and among these sons of Li Heng at present, only Li Tan, the king of Jianning, is not Chen, and should be established as the prince.

Zhang Xuān groaned, understanding that Li Heng must have been "impacted" because of Li Yu's forced palace, in order to prevent his sons and brothers from killing each other, he still decided to set up a prince early and calm down the incident.

He was originally optimistic about Li Yu and Li Tan, and swayed slightly between the two. Now that Li Yu has withdrawn from the competition, Li Tan is the only one. But Li Heng had other concerns.

Zhang Xuān raised his eyes to look at Li Heng, and seemed to understand something from his expression and gaze.

Li Heng wanted to make Zhang Liangdi the queen. But in this way, the problem arises: Zhang Liangdi has not yet given birth to a prince, she is still young, and there is still a possibility of giving birth to a prince in the future. But if Li Yu is appointed as the prince of the East Palace, how should Li Tan's biological mother be canonized? Moreover, if a Liangdi gives birth to a prince in the future, the son of this queen is not a prince, and there will be a dispute with Li Tan.

Therefore, Li Heng hesitated and Li talked about it, and there was a hidden danger on Zhang Liangdi's side: if he didn't set up a prince for the time being, his own sons would definitely follow his brothers' example and eyeing the position of the prince, and even, you might die and cause the palace to bleed.

Also, if Zhang Liangdi can't give birth to a prince in the future, how can he be embarrassed?

As soon as Li Heng thought of this, he had a headache.

Zhang Xuān sighed lightly, "This is a family matter for His Royal Highness, and the ministers dare not say anything!" Li Heng smiled bitterly, "Zizhan, this palace knows today that family affairs are more difficult to decide than state affairs." Zhang Xuān smiled silently.

Although he had the heart to recommend Li Tan, the king of Jianning, but looking at Li Heng's meaning, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Li Tan to get his wish for the time being∨ xuān thought of Zhang Liangdi and the Zhang family again, and suddenly said softly, "If Your Highness is difficult to make a decision and put it on hold, I will talk about it later!" ”

"What did you say," Li Xiang suddenly looked up at Zhang Xuān.

"With all due respect, what His Royal Highness is worried about is nothing more than the princes fighting for the position of the prince, causing trouble and causing discord between brothers...... Chen thought, if it was ......" Zhang Xuān suddenly stepped forward and said a few words in Li Heng's ear, Li Heng suddenly brightened up, his eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily.

Let Chen Xian and Zhang Xuān go out of the palace.

Zhang Xuān and Chen Xian went out of the palace together, and along the way, Chen Xian was always curious, and Zhang Xuān said something in Li Heng's ear.

But Chen Xian was embarrassed to ask, resulting in a somewhat strange expression.

Zhang Xuān glanced at Chen Xian, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiang, are you curious about what this king said to His Royal Highness?" ”

Chen Xian smiled, hugged his fists and said, "It's just a little curious." ”

Zhang told His Royal Highness that since Zhang Liangdi has no prince under his knees, it is not appropriate to be canonized as the queen.

Temporarily named a noble concubine, temporarily the head of the harem. If a prince is born in the future, he will be the queen of the prince, and if so, he will be the prince of the East Palace as appropriate! In this way, the positions of the queen and the east palace are all vacant, and the dispute with the prince does not exist. ”

Zhang Xuān lowered his voice.

Chen Xian nodded secretly, hugged the courtesy, and said with a smile, "Wonderful!" Wonderful! Zhang Xuān's words made Li Hengmao pause. What he was anxious about was that Zhang Liangdi, who was canonized as the queen, would compete with Li Tan, the king of Jianning, and it would become fire and water. But if according to Zhang Xuān's words, the queen and the East Palace will not be canonized for the time being, and then we will see the situation in the future, and there will be no dispute between the harem and the East Palace.

If Zhang Liangdi can give birth to a prince, he will be made the queen, and at the same time his son will be the prince, if not, he will be the prince again.

But the idea was decided, Li Heng felt relaxed for a while, but immediately felt a headache.

He had already promised Zhang Liangdi to make him the queen immediately, if he dragged it out, Li Heng sighed, scratched his head, and decided to go to Zhang Liangdi to test Zhang Liangdi's tone.

Li Heng went to Zhang Liangdi, but learned that Zhang Liangdi had just left the palace and returned to her parents' home.

Li Heng was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, he must have just been above the court meeting, and he appointed Zhang Jiyong as the secretary of the Tongzhong Shumen and the secretary of the military department~

This news must be a sign of prosperity for the Zhang family∨ Liangdi, as a woman of the Zhang family, went back to her parents' house to celebrate the banquet with the clansmen, which is also a smoke of the people.

Li Heng was a little disappointed, and this thought faded.

At this moment, the Zhang family, dressed in red and hung colors, was full of joy, the atmosphere was very warm∨ Jiyong was canonized as the secretary of the military department of the Zhao Ming came out of the palace, the Zhang family was boiling up and down, sweeping away the haze of the past because Zhang Qing was exiled and Zhang Jiyong was dismissed.

Compared with the joy of the Zhang family, Yang Guozhong's mansion was shrouded in clouds.

Although the people of the Yang faction have not yet reached the point where the trees have fallen and scattered, there are already many people who have secretly taken refuge in Chen Xian or Zhang Xuān, or even the princelings.

The two key figures who Yang Guozhong ate "noodles" at the court meeting and caused a great loss of his face and authority were Yang Lian and Yang Qi of the Yang family, and his bad mood can be imagined.

As soon as he returned to the house, Mrs. Qin Guo and Mrs. Han came over to inquire about the dissipation.

Hearing that these two women who love vanity and greed for money are here again, Yang Guozhong suddenly became angry, and angrily scolded the house slave who came to pass, "No! None of them! Tell these two stinky girls that they will come to the house of the prime minister less often to fight the autumn breeze in the future! Also, when the Yang family comes in the future, they will all be driven out of the house, and no matter who is doing their business! ”

The house slave went out in fear, not daring to say what he said, but basically said Yang Guozhong's carelessness.

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin Guo and Mrs. Han were furious. They have long been dissatisfied with Yang Guozhong's arrogant and arrogant attitude, and today they have eaten the closed door, and the anger in their hearts has been hooked out.

The two women discussed for a while, and then they changed their route to Mrs. Yang Sanjie.

Since following Zhang Xuān, Sanjie Yang has gradually had less contact with Mrs. Qin Guo and Mrs. Han, and her relationship has faded. But no matter what, after all, the sisterhood is still there, and when Mrs. Qin Guo and Mrs. Han visit, she can't be seen.

Why the two girls came, Third Sister Yang also knew it.

Sure enough, seeing Third Sister Yang, Mrs. Qin Guo and Mrs. Han began to chatter about accusing Yang Guozhong and scolding Yang Guozhong for a bloody sprinkler.

Third Sister Yang looked at her sister and sister a little helplessly, and sighed faintly, "Eldest sister, eighth sister, you don't have to blame Yang Guozhong, Yang Guozhong is difficult to protect himself now, and he can't take care of you at all... The current Yang family is not as good as it was back then, in the opinion of the slave family, it is better for you to stick to the door and live your own life, and don't be as swaggering as before. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo frowned and said, "Third sister, what are you talking about?" Our sisters are also the ladies of the country canonized by the imperial court, why do you still have to keep the door and think about it behind closed doors? ”!。
