Chapter 320 Loyalty and Treachery, One Thought!
Since Zhang Xuān entered the palace for a showdown, he had fully considered all the consequences.
In his opinion, as long as he takes a firm stand, the process of his affair with Wan Chun may be thrilling or tortuous, but the result is doomed.
Whether it is Li Heng's favor and important ministers, or whether Li Heng is forced to be helpless, anyway, he will agree to this marriage in the end.
With Zhang Xuān's current prince, since he can accept a Hui princess, then marrying a princess of the Tang Dynasty to enter the door, although there is no precedent, it may not be outrageous.
His attitude is extremely resolute ◎ Haru is already his woman, and this cannot be changed. Since you can't change it, you can only accept reality.
As a time-traveler from modern society, Zhang Xuān did not have the supreme awe and strong loyalty to the imperial power of the current corporati or civil and military courtiers. In his heart, loyalty to this country is not the same as loyalty to this court, not to the emperor.
In the eyes of the world, loyalty and jiān are just in his thoughts!
He has come to this day, and his grasp of power is not to chase power and covet glory and wealth, but to use the power in his hands to protect himself and the people he wants to protect, it's as simple as that.
Only on the basis of preserving oneself can we talk about displaying our ambitions and ambitions, and only then can we talk about doing something for this country and this era.
If you can't even protect yourself and your own woman, wouldn't it be ridiculous to talk about serving the country.
Li Heng agreed that everyone was happy, even if the process was more complicated, Zhang Xuān could accept it: and if Li Heng was determined to marry Wanchun to Zhang Jiyong's son Zhang Yi, then Zhang Xuān would not be able to sit still, so he could only tear his face.
In Xingqing Palace.
Li Heng paced back and forth in the study, his face extremely gloomy.
Zhang Xuān entered the palace to have a showdown with him this time, undoubtedly with some kind of intention to force the palace. Li Heng knew very well in his heart that if he was not allowed, it was very likely to lead Zhang Xuān to become the second An Lushan.
And with Zhang Xuān's influence in the feudal town and his prestige in the army, if he follows An Lushan, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the long run, it poses a huge hidden danger to the Tang court: and in the short term, if Zhang Xuān refuses to lead the world to persuade the feudal towns to advance, and in turn opposes him to become emperor, his dream of becoming emperor may also be ruined.
But if you agree to marry Wanchun to Zhang Jie, where will the face of the royal family remain?
Li Heng was distraught and restless.
He suddenly raised his head and ordered Huo Changqing, the eunuch beside him, and said gloomily, "Go and pass on the words of the palace and ask Zhang Xuān, does he know the mistake?" 1, Huo Changqing nodded in fear and took the order.
As the internal supervisor who gradually became favored by Li Heng's side, Huo Changqing actually hasn't figured out why Li Heng fell out with Zhang Xuān, and what it was for that this originally very harmonious and harmonious relationship between monarchs and ministers has a rift.
Huo Changqing hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, and saw Zhang Xuān's figure kneeling down on one knee facing the palace gate from a distance. He walked over a few steps, bowed respectfully, and said, "King Yongning!" ”
Zhang Xuān smiled slightly, hugged his fists and saluted back, "It turned out to be Gonggong Huo!" ”
"King Yongning, His Royal Highness asked our family to ask the prince, have you ever known your mistake? If you know your mistake, Your Highness will hold a banquet in the palace and have dinner with the prince! ”
Huo Changqing said softly, his eyes flickering a little.
"Please report back to Your Highness, and beg Your Highness to fulfill it!"
Zhang Xuān's voice was firm and deep, and he bowed his head without saying a word in such a short sentence.
Huo Changqing was stunned, sighed again, and turned around to report back to Li Heng.
When Li Heng heard the news, he slapped the table case angrily and roared, "He's forcing the palace!" What a Zhang xuān, such a big guts! He is forcing the palace, 1, Huo Changqing's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhang Liangdi took a few palace maids into Dexingqing Palace, and suddenly saw Zhang Xuān kneeling at the door, and was shocked, and immediately guessed a few points. She got out of the car, strode over, and passed by Zhang Xuān, but there was nothing.
Zhang Liangdi walked outside Li Heng's study, and heard Li Heng's roar from a distance.
Li Heng's reaction was far beyond Zhang Liangdi's imagination, originally Zhang Liangdi thought that since Zhang Xuān was so important and loyal in Li Heng's mind, as long as Zhang Xuān entered the palace to propose, Li Heng would still agree after all.
The princess of the Tang Dynasty looks extremely noble, but in fact it is just a political prop that can be discarded and sacrificed at any time. Since Li Heng was able to marry Wan Chun to the Tubo prince for political interests, he could also marry Wan Chun to Zhang Xuān at any time for political interests.
Zhang Xuān is a prince, since he can marry Princess Hui as a side concubine, why can't Wan Chun?
The so-called etiquette system is just a thing to fool people, as long as Li Heng gives an edict, even if the courtiers and the clan have a discussion, they are helpless. And who can publicly offend Zhang Xuān, a new magnate, for this?
But Li Heng's attitude seemed to be a flash in Zhang Liangdi's heart, and he suddenly stopped.
If Zhang Xuān is brought down, now seems to be an opportunity, there is a lot to do, and Zhang Liangdi's heart suddenly had such an amazing thought. The reason why he reversed his attitude before, tried to repair the relationship with Zhang Ji, and even sent a message to Zhang Hu and Wan Chun, firstly, to show Li Heng, and secondly, Li Heng's words made her feel very reasonable∨ people like Xuān, if they can be used, it is the best to help them sit in the position of queen.
But now, Li Heng's favor for Zhang Xuān seems to contain a lot of water, far from being as unbreakable and indestructible as she imagined.
Since this is the case, Zhang Liangdi thought about it, hesitated, and finally made up her mind.
She is still a very ambitious woman after all, compared to Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping,
These women after Wei are actually not much different. An ambitious woman only has her own political interests in her eyes, she doesn't care about principles, bottom lines, or morals, she doesn't want to be a family, even if it's her family, at a critical moment and when she needs it, she will abandon it without hesitation.
"Your Highness, why is the thunder furious?" Zhang Liangdi walked in and said softly.
Li Heng glanced at Zhang Liangdi, suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "Zhang Xuān is extremely presumptuous, he actually came to the palace to talk to the palace and asked the palace to marry Wan Chun to him. It just doesn't make sense! Royal princess, what kind of identity, how can she be a side concubine for him? Besides, even if the palace should be inherited, the kings of the clan and the father and emperor are here, how can the palace explain? ”
Zhang Liangdi pretended to be stunned, her face was shocked, and then she said tentatively and softly, "There is such a thing?" Your Highness...... The concubine has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not? ”
"Let's go." Li Heng waved his hand impatiently.
Zhang Liangdi leaned over and said in a low voice, "Let Wanchun be a side concubine for Zhang Xuān, the royal family is decent, and this thing is absolutely impossible." However, if His Royal Highness does not allow it, will it ,.........?"
Zhang Liangdi stopped talking.
Li Heng was furious and reprimanded, "He dare! This palace just doesn't allow it, what can I do to see him?
Come to someone, pass on the words of the palace, and order Zhang Xuān to go out of the palace and return to the house, if there is any further disobedience, the palace will not be spared! ”
A hint of joy flashed between Zhang Liangdi's eyebrows.
Zhang Xuān walked out of the palace calmly, unfazed. He knew that Li Heng needed a step, so he would give him this step.
Anyway, his attitude has already shown that what to do, Li Heng knows best in his heart.
The news from the palace once again shook the entire Chang'an City.
Zhang Xuān, the king of Yongning, actually entered the palace to ask for a marriage to Princess Wanchun!
This means that Zhang Xuān and Wan Chun have long had a relationship, which means that for the Chang'an military and civilians who have a bit of gossip spirit, this has undoubtedly become the best talking point.
And for Zhang Jiyong and Chen Xuanli, this is undoubtedly another exciting piece of good news. Therefore, there are infinite possibilities to bring down Zhang Xuān!
The next morning, on the last morning of the year, Chen Xuanli and other princelings rose up and wrote a book, harshly accusing Zhang Xuān of being greedy and immoral and offending the princess, and that the prince should be stripped of and exempted from military power. And Yang Guozhong and others, including Chen Xian, all maintained a strange silence.
This happened so suddenly that Yang Guozhong didn't know how to deal with it.
In fact, Chen Xuanli and others didn't expect to really bring down Zhang Xuān, but it was also worth rejoicing to grasp this braid and "rip" out the power in Zhang Xuān's hands.
Sun Liang, the prince of the military department, even more generously impeached him in court, demanding that the imperial court remove Zhang Xuān's prince and remove him from his post as the commander of the governor of Longshuo.
Above the court, there was chaos. Li Heng looked gloomily at the courtiers who were either solemn or indignant or gloating, but a few different kinds of anger rose in his heart.
Li Hengwan never expected that this matter would cause such a big movement in the court.
After a night of deliberation, he had gradually lost his position. After all, compared with his personal political interests, compared with the throne and the safety of the world, a mere Princess Wanchun is nothing in his eyes.
The so-called family affection is incomparably indifferent in the royal family.
He originally wanted to deal with it coldly, and adopted a method customary to the Tang royal family to first remove Wanchun's princess title, then let Wanchun become a monk, and finally quietly marry into the Yongning Palace.
didn't think that before he had time to respond, Zhang Jiyong and others seized this matter and made a big fuss in the DPRK.
This is actually a disguised way to force Li Heng to make a statement.
But what did Li Heng say?
Really cut off Zhang Xuān's prince and removed him from the official position of the feudal town? .
If it is so easy, the next edict of the imperial court to remove An Lushan from his official position is enough, so why bother raising tigers for the dilemma?
Li Heng snorted coldly, and suddenly raised his voice, "Okay, don't quarrel, ♀ it's a family matter of this palace, wait for a long time!" ”
Li Heng Huoran got up and walked away.
The eunuch Huo Changqing hurriedly opened his throat and shouted: "Retreat!" His Royal Highness has an edict, Xuan Yang Xiang and Chen Xiang Xingqing Palace will see you! ”!。
