Chapter 35: The Doubts Are Resolved
With a wave of his virtual hand, he motioned for all the Tsing Yi warriors in front of him to get up, and then said slowly to the middle-aged man beside him who was half-bowing: "Now you can give me an explanation, right?" Who are you? Who is the master behind it? What are you relying on? ”
"And what do I have to do with your master? Let him not hesitate to offend the crown prince of the dynasty? After a series of questions were spoken, Li Qing exhaled a big breath, and the feeling of being happy was really refreshing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Qing asked very directly, and Li Qing didn't believe that they would hide things from them, not for anything else, just because Li Qing knew by feeling that he was very important to the people behind them!
For Li Qing's successive questions, the middle-aged man was not impatient, and looked at King Shou in front of him and said impatiently: "Back to King Shou, this time I came to protect the safety of King Shou and Princess Shou and his party on the order of the current Prime Minister Li, although the prince has a noble status, he is likely to become the controller of the Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”
But it is very likely that it does not mean that it will definitely be, as long as he does not have a real dragon to dominate the world for a day, then he will be abolished at any time, today's Emperor Xuanzong is very healthy, and his sensitivity to power is very strong, the existence of the prince will only make him panic, but for the stability of the world, the society is safe and healthy, and he has to establish a prince!
It is precisely because of this that today's crown prince can only be regarded as a nominal prince, and has no actual power, but is just the object of arbitrary ravages by the prime minister of my family! ”
Listening to the middle-aged man's eloquent talk, Li Qing looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and didn't say anything, just looked at it, just when the middle-aged man couldn't help but lower his head, Li Qing finally spoke: "Although this king doesn't know you too well, but as far as I can observe, such profound remarks are probably not from your mouth!"
Now that he is the King of Shou, it is natural to make the demeanor of the King of Shou sufficient, so that people will not be suspicious, for Wei Yanyu, Li Qing has never put on the shelf of King Shou, but he still has to retain a certain majesty in front of his subordinates (although the Tsing Yi warrior at this moment is not Li Qing's subordinate)!
Sometimes, it is not good to be blindly approachable, everything is too much, and as a king, you must retain a sense of mystery in front of people.
For Li Linfu, that is, the prime minister of the dynasty in the mouth of a middle-aged man, although Li Qing has never seen his true face, this cannot stop Li Qing's fear of him from the bottom of his heart.
Don't look at the fact that he has nearly two thousand years of knowledge more than him, but it is easier for him to kill himself than to crush an ant, Li Qing does not have the slightest doubt about this.
To be able to serve as prime minister under Emperor Xuanzong for nineteen consecutive years, Li Linfu is the first person, Emperor Xuanzong is obsessed with power to the point that he can kill his son, but for Li Linfu, Emperor Xuanzong strangely chose to delegate power.
It is not difficult to see the strength of Li Linfu's methods!
Looking at the history of the Tang Dynasty, Li Linfu is the first prime minister who dares to "fight" with the prince of the current dynasty, who is the prince?
Looking at the world, it is a collection of dignity and power of the top figures, the first prince of the emperor is the second, don't look at the prime minister in the court to wind and rain, but if you see the prince, it is still necessary to salute obediently, no matter when, the prince is always the king, no matter how powerful the prime minister is, after all, he is a minister!
But things have completely changed when it comes to Li Linfu, and the entire Tang society, from Emperor Xuanzong's dignitaries and dignitaries, down to the common people of Limin, and the peddlers and pawns all know: The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is at odds with His Royal Highness the current Prince, and he is against him everywhere!
As for the reason, no one knows, including the high-ranking Emperor Xuanzong, what they know is: since the crown prince ascended to the throne of the prince, Concubine Hui passed away, and King Shou fell out of favor, when the prime minister of the dynasty has been fighting with His Royal Highness the prince!
What is surprising is that Li Linfu's power has not weakened in the slightest with the fight with the prince, but has become more and more powerful!
To everyone's surprise, Emperor Xuanzong did not suppress the prime minister in order to maintain the dignity of the prince, but turned a blind eye to this matter and completely ignored it, and even played a role in fueling the flames behind the scenes.
It was precisely because he accurately grasped the psychology of Emperor Xuanzong that Li Linfu was able to win again and again in the future fight with the prince, and only shrank the turtle suppressed by the prince in the prince's mansion and did not dare to go out, so that the prince, who had always been cautious, almost lost the position of the prince, which has never been thought of in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
Imagine, Lao Tzu is the emperor, your Li Linfu's top boss, and now you are repeatedly asking for trouble with other people's sons, how can the emperor choose not to help his own son but to help you, an outsider, not be puzzling? It is precisely because of this that Li Linfu's cleverness can be even more revealed!
Although the battle between Li Qing and the crown prince has just begun, and the current prince is still strong, Li Qing knows very well that the prince will soon be beaten into the abyss by Li Linfu, and it is still easy for Li Qing, who is proficient in history, to understand this.
At this moment, Li Qing also understood everything, after the former crown prince Li Ying was deposed, the prince of the Tang Dynasty only hung high, and the princes of Tang Xuanzong saw that there was a ray of light on the throne that had no hope, so they ran and shouted, pulling east and west, adding weight to their election for the prince. Among them, Emperor Xuanzong's eighteenth son Shouwang Li Mao (that is, the current Li Qing) and the third prince Zhongwang Li Heng are the most prominent, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu agreed that if Emperor Xuanzong really wants to elect the prince, then it must be one of the two!
The reason why there are two of them is mainly because when the Tang Dynasty ordained the crown prince, there were two criteria: standing long and virtuous!
Zhongwang Li Heng is the third prince, and the second prince, the former crown prince Li Ying, has been deposed at this time, and the loyal king Li Heng naturally became the eldest son of the emperor smoothly, so Lichang naturally gave priority to Zhongwang Li Heng; But compared with the loyal king Li Heng, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty at that time all thought that Li Mao, the eighteenth son of Shouwang, had the greatest probability of winning!
Not for anything else, the court has the full support of the first and auxiliary prime minister Li Linfu, and the harem has a favorite harem concubine Wu Hui, as a mother, she naturally hopes that her son can ascend to the position above ten thousand people under one person; In addition, the appearance and charm of Shouwang Li Mao are most similar to Emperor Xuanzong when he was young, so he is naturally favored by Emperor Xuanzong much more than other emperors!
It is precisely because of the above three points that King Shou was in the limelight at that time, and no one could stand out from the right, but God always likes to play with the world, and fate made a huge joke to Li Qing, not only did he not grab the position of the prince at his fingertips, but even the newlywed Princess Shou was also admitted to the palace by Emperor Xuanzong, and the beautiful name said: Pray for blessings!
Since then, a generation of Shouwang has been addicted to wine shops, and the fairy couples who were famous in Chang'an City in the past can no longer find a trace, and Chang'an City has one less handsome and elegant prince, and one more drunkard who is addicted to wine shops and drunk dreams! For this reason, Chang'an City does not know how many young ladies in the official family of Chang'an City have broken their hearts in the past twenty-eight years!
Thinking about this, Li Qing also understood the reason why Li Linfu sent someone to protect himself, because at the moment he was his only choice, the previous Li Linfu offended the current crown prince Li Heng because of his support, and naturally did not want Li Heng to be able to ascend the throne! It is precisely because of this that Li Linfu will spare no effort to protect himself from harm!
If Li Heng really ascends the throne in the future, the first person he wants to kill is his former competitor, then he will be followed by the current Prime Minister Li Linfu!
And in order to prevent this tragedy from happening, Li Linfu naturally wanted to find ways to assist Li Qing to ascend to the throne of the crown prince and replace the loyal king!
Looking at today's princes, the people who can compete with today's crown prince are counted, and now the down-and-out King Shou can barely do it, and the others can basically be ignored!
It can be said that the current Li Linfu and King Shou are grasshoppers on a rope, as long as the current prince is not abolished, then the alliance between the two will be unbreakable!
Li Qing also understands that the reason why Li Linfu cares so much about his safety is just because of the identity of this Shouwang!
Knowing this, Li Qing turned to other aspects! Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with interest, he said slowly: "I don't know the Prime Minister's Mansion, how many guards do you think there are?" If you don't want to say it, forget it. If so, I want to hear the truth! "I have to say that at this moment, the demeanor of Prince Li Qing is getting more and more sufficient!
And Xuanye, who was standing behind the two of them, couldn't help but smile when he saw his father-in-law pretending to be majestic in front of him, knowing that he was gently patted on the head by Wei Yanyu on the side, so he smiled at Wei Yanyu, and then stopped making a sound.
The middle-aged man said unhurriedly: "Back to King Shou, there are a total of eight hundred guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion that you see now, divided into eight departments, each with two commanders and two subordinates, and the subordinate is Li Ye, the leader of the three departments, this time, the entire three departments came together, a total of one hundred people!"
In order to protect the safety of King Shou, this time I personally led half of the samurai to take the lead, and the other half of the samurai were led by the deputy commander Huang Yun. The young man said without hurry, looking at his undisguised look, Li Qing understood that what the middle-aged man said at this moment should be true!
