Chapter 083 Frank Relative

Li Heng's face changed, and he suddenly slapped the table case angrily, and reprimanded, "Presumptuous! Zhang Xuan, Er is talking so nonsense in front of this palace...... Aren't you afraid that this palace will join you in front of your father, and Zhi'er will instigate the prince to harbor the crime of speculation? ”

Zhang Xuan's expression remained unchanged, he looked at Li Heng with a changed expression calmly, and said lightly, "Your Highness, it is easy to govern the ministers, but I am afraid that Your Highness's position as the prince will not be guaranteed." ”

"The minister's courage to speak today is really motivated by feelings and for the sake of His Highness. The minister can swear to the sky, and if the minister has a heart for His Royal Highness, he should die without a place to be buried. "Zhang Xuan Langlang said, the ancients swore very seriously, seeing Zhang Xuan swear angrily, he was clear and fearless, and Li Heng's suspicion naturally dissipated a lot.

"Hey...... Zizhan, your advice, this palace understands it. However, you are not fully aware of the difficulties of this palace. Li Heng let out a long sigh, glanced at Zhang Xuan with a gloomy expression, and his originally stiff posture slowly relaxed.

"Your Highness's difficulties and hardships are known to the ministers...... But at this moment of life and death, if His Royal Highness does not make any moves, he will definitely ......" Zhang Xuan also sighed, "Now the dictatorship of the courtiers is rampant, the foreign vassals support the army and respect themselves, and the forces of all parties are self-contained. His Royal Highness, the prince, was completely excluded from the circle of power...... If someone secretly conspires with the feudal towns and ministers, and writes to the emperor to abolish His Royal Highness and stand on his own, what does His Highness think the emperor will do? ”

"When the critical moment comes, who can speak for His Highness? Under the crowd, the emperor ......"

When Zhang Xuan said this, his voice had become extremely low, "There is still a glimmer of life in times of peace, and you can only sit and wait for the status quo to be maintained - the minister's words are all here, and I hope His Highness will think twice!" ”

"Your Highness, the minister will retire first." Zhang Xuan has already said everything he should say, and if Li Heng still doesn't open up, he is not ready to say it again. If you can't do anything, you won't do it - since Li Heng is really a Liu Adou who can't be supported, Zhang Xuan has to immediately change his "thinking" and find another way out.

Zhang Xuan turned around and walked slowly towards the study.

He walked step by step, the atmosphere in the study was extremely depressing and dreary, and Li Heng's rapid gasping could be heard.

Suddenly, Li Heng suddenly opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, "Zizhan, stay here, this palace has a few words to say." ”

Zhang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, he really didn't misunderstand Li Heng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been dormant, still had some ambitions after all.

"Your Highness, the minister is here." Zhang Xuan quickly turned around and bowed.

"Why did you help me? How can you help me? Li Heng's face turned slightly red, his eyes stared at Zhang Xuan with blazing eyes, and he even exuded a bit of awe-inspiring momentum.

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, "The minister is the minister of the East Palace, why don't you think about His Highness?" Moreover, the ministers and His Royal Highness are both prosperous and lossy, and His Royal Highness will always be the ministers of His Highness, and His Royal Highness will not be able to escape the disaster of the death of His Highness. ”

"The so-called soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is for the self-pleasing; It is also the so-called good bird chooses the tree to perch, and the virtuous minister chooses the lord to serve. The minister thought that His Royal Highness was generous and graceful, benevolent and filial piety first, and if he ascended the throne in the future, he would be a virtuous king, which should be the luck of all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the minister is willing to assist His Royal Highness and do his best to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the world! ”

"Although the minister is young, he has the ambition to serve the country...... At the moment, His Highness can only save himself, and all the minister can do is to give advice, saddle the horse and let His Highness drive! ”

Zhang Xuan felt that he had said this very frankly, which meant nothing more than to say, I am now tied to a rope with your prince Li Heng, and if you are unlucky, I will also be unlucky, and I will also be unlucky if you are in power...... The interests are at stake, and helping others is helping oneself, this kind of frank statement is obviously more convincing, and it can better eliminate the worry hidden in Li Heng's heart.

Sure enough, Li Heng glanced at Zhang Xuan with a wry smile, and his voice slowly softened, "Zizhan, having said that, but...... Hongu ...... What about Hongu? ”

Zhang Xuan smiled, assisted under Li Heng, raised the teacup and took a sip and said, "The minister thinks that the first thing His Highness should do is to establish authority and accumulate strength!" ”

"His Highness has been silent for so long that many of his vassals have ignored the existence of the East Palace. This is a very dangerous sign. His Royal Highness should open the palace door as soon as possible, make friends with ministers and generals, and win the support of his subordinates! ”

Li Heng sighed, "Zizhan, it's not easy to talk about this. The authority of the internal power is held by Yang Guozhong, who has always regarded the palace as a great enemy; And over the years, the foreign generals have all belonged to the town, and it is too late for the palace to start at the moment. Besides, the father's side ......"

"Your Highness, Yang Guozhong is actually not afraid. The reason why Yang Guozhong is so powerful is, in the final analysis, because of the emperor's favor. If you lose the emperor's favor, the cornerstone of the Yang family will fall as soon as you push it. ”

"When today's feudal town, An Lushan is not mentioned, the envoy of the Anxi Festival and the protector of Gao Xianzhi in the Western Regions have already been invested in others, only the Beiting Festival envoy Cheng Qianli, and the Hexi Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan, His Royal Highness can do it!"

"As for the emperor, His Royal Highness doesn't do anything, how can you find out the emperor's true intentions? In the opinion of the ministers, His Royal Highness's benevolence and filial piety are very much praised by the emperor, but His Royal Highness's courage is still not enough to win the trust of the Holy Hearing. As long as His Royal Highness acts according to the system, does not exceed the rules, does not offend the emperor, and asks the emperor for instructions on everything, the minister thinks that the emperor will definitely support His Highness. ”

Li Heng's eyes lit up. In fact, what Zhang Xuan said, Li Heng didn't think about it, but he was too afraid of the emperor, so he fell into the psychological misunderstanding that he didn't dare to act rashly - the emperor wanted him to keep the prince's duty and not to rebel against power, but he didn't want him to be a cowardly kowtow.

"Good!" Li Heng pondered for a moment, slapped the table suddenly, the decadent color of his face disappeared, and he raised the teacup to Zhang Xuan to invite him to drink, "Zizhan ...... This palace made a covenant with Qing today, if this palace is successful in the future, it will live up to Qing! ”

"The minister should die for His Highness!" Zhang Xuan also raised his glass in response with a solemn expression.

……

……

After a long talk with Zhang Xuan, the crown prince Li Heng immediately took action. Under his instruction, Zhang Xuan, on the one hand, cleaned up the bureaucratic system of the East Palace and grasped the internal affairs rectification; On the other hand, with the consent of the emperor, with the crown prince's gold medal, he went to the military department to change a piece of paperwork, found Huo Qing, the general of Yulinwei, and transferred a fierce and brave team of 100 people from Yulinwei into the East Palace, as the prince's pro-Xun Yiwei.

This was supposed to be the establishment of the East Palace, the ceremonial guard that the prince should have, the emperor did not object, and the military department and the general Yulinwei Yamen were even more green all the way.

In just a few days of hard work, Zhang Xuan, who was trusted and entrusted by Li Heng, discussed the etiquette system, set the rules, and cleared the old habits in the East Palace, and adopted thunderous means to move the East Palace up and down for a while, sweeping away the gloomy and depressed scene in the past.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the actions on the side of the East Palace naturally attracted the attention of the Tang Dynasty and the opposition, and fell into the eyes of some well-intentioned people, which immediately bred a deep vigilance - what did Li Heng intend?

The emperor acquiesced to all this in the East Palace, which made Li Heng ecstatic and his trust in Zhang Xuan even deeper.
