As soon as Murong Baojie said this, there was no way to talk about it, Murong Baojie didn't believe Zhang Wenguan and them, and Zhang Wenguan didn't believe Murong Baojie and them, and the two sides immediately quarreled.

The matter has come to this point, in fact, there is no way back on both sides, and everyone knows in their hearts that the other party will definitely put me to death.

The faction of Murong Baojie was the main battle faction at the beginning, and they firmly supported Wu Meiniang to come out to power.

First of all, what they supported at the beginning was Wu Meiniang, how do they know if the prince has a grudge against them. Even if the prince doesn't have a grudge against them, the problem is that the crown prince must rely on Zhang Wenguan to take the throne, because Zhang Wenguan and they have always firmly supported the prince, as for Zhang Wenguan to make a heavy oath, when the emperor begs him to be the prime minister, can he be inappropriate?

Will Zhang Wenpu hold grudges in their hearts?

Secondly, the war had already been won, and they should be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, but as soon as the prince ascended the throne, it was Zhang Wenguan who benefited, but they were facing danger to their lives, even if the prince didn't blame them, who could guarantee that Zhang Wenguan would not retaliate against them.

This is directly related to their net worth and life, and they don't dare to say that they want the queen to take the throne, they just want to drag it out, now there are so many things, if they are not careful, the country will be finished, and the prince will not be able to deal with it, let the queen preside over government affairs first, and the prince's accession to the throne will be talked about later.

No matter what Wu Meiniang said, they would not back down, in addition, there were businessmen behind them to support them, businessmen had money, and they also had armaments, which made them more confident, in the past, armaments and materials were in the hands of the imperial court, and at this time, businessmen were allowed to produce weapons.

Shangguan Yi They resolutely will not agree to this, they feel that this is too unreasonable, the emperor died, and he did not let the crown prince ascend the throne, this kind of thing has never happened, they also know what Murong Baojie is thinking, if they compromise, then they will not have to play.

The two sides are noisy and inseparable, and in the end they break up.

Cui Jijian and others, who watched the drama for a long time, walked out of the hall leisurely at the end.

"What should we do?" Eldest Sun Yan frowned and asked.

They didn't say anything because they really couldn't make up their minds, and it seemed that it was wrong not to participate in this kind of thing, and it was wrong to participate, and it was not right to do anything anyway.

Wang Xuandao smiled slightly: "Continue to watch the play." ”

The eldest grandson couldn't help but be stunned.

Cui Jijian said: "What are you anxious about, they can't fight for this result." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Have you forgotten that there was another very important person who did not say anything?"

"What are you talking about?" Eldest Sun Yan's eyes widened.

Cui Jijian nodded and said: "After Sikong died, Shang Shuling naturally became the first person in the dynasty, and at this time he was the commander of the three armies, holding military power, and nothing would happen until he made a statement." ”

Wang Xuandao said thoughtfully: "It's really a coincidence, at the most critical moment of the return, Shang Shuling was not present, it was like this last time, and it was like this this time." ”

Cui Jijian glanced at Wang Xuandao and stopped making a sound.

......

Originally, the two sides were still secretive, only competing in secret, but now, the two sides have begun to directly oppose each other, not only in the DPRK and China, but also in the people.

Whether it is a Confucian or a Taoist, most scholars support the prince, they take it for granted, and preventing the prince from ascending the throne is a great rebellion and unforgivable.

But today, the industrial and commercial class has also begun to emerge, and they are resolutely supporting Wu Meiniang.

In fact, for the industrial and commercial class, they don't care who will inherit the unification, they are asking for status and rights for themselves, in the past, they were pressed to death by the soldiers, but now it is different from the past, the businessmen suddenly found themselves such a bull X, then it is not up to you scholars to decide, we can also make the country strong, so that the life of the four seas, I can also make my own money, I don't need the court to raise it.

This is not a traditional battle between the shishu, but a struggle between the new forces and the old forces, many nobles are in favor of merchants, and of course there are many poor families on the side of conservatives.

But this is a very abnormal thing, but it has never happened before, those scholars, scholars, scholars saw that these businessmen were so arrogant, dare to openly argue with the court, immediately stunned, this really frightened them, this or the businessmen to suppress down, the future businessmen will ride on their heads, the businessmen's actions, completely angered these scholars, but also made them feel a little scared, immediately published an article in the Shizu Daily, scolded the businessmen, asked the court to adopt a policy of suppressing business.

Yuan Xi immediately stood up, you see, their ugly faces have been revealed, if we lose, we are really finished, they will definitely kill us.

Some businessmen who are afraid of things have now joined the camp of the Yuan family, that is, everyone is huddled together for warmth, and the industrial and commercial class is unprecedentedly united. Today's workers and businessmen are on the same front, because the craftsmen are not welcomed in the first place, or the businessmen have raised the status of the craftsmen, and those who have craftsmen, the businessmen have given them a high enough salary, but the politicians have always looked down on them, and the workers can become merchants with an invention, and they can be converted to each other, they are absolutely on one side.

Those farmers are also on the side of the merchants, they are actually merchants, if they want to go back to the past, then the court will not allow them to own so much land, and it will definitely inhibit land annexation, according to those scholars, that is, to go back to the past, they could have stayed out of the matter, because the identity of the farmer is more special, in fact, they are the landlords, and they should be attributed to the representatives of the old forces, but they are now closely related to the interests of the merchants, and the merchants are their biggest customers.

It's so noisy outside, Donggong Yan doesn't know.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Li Hong looked at his teacher Guo Yu with a worried expression.

The prince generally has a lot of teachers, Zhang Wenguan They are also the prince's teachers, but Zhang Wenguan They are mostly ministers of the East Palace, which is equivalent to assisting the prince, but Guo Yu is a pure teacher, he is only responsible for teaching the prince knowledge, this political matter, he rarely asks, but it is precisely because of this that he has always followed the prince and is the most trusted person by the prince.

"This matter is for Zhang Wenguan and others to mess up!"

Guo Yu sighed, looked at Li Hongdao, and said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, regarding the accession of His Royal Highness, it can actually be relieved, because the difficulties faced by the imperial court at this time are far more than during the war, Your Highness, you may not be able to handle those things well, and Zhang Wen is so anxious that the other party feels scared, thinking that they are coveting power."

In fact, the best way is for the prince to postpone the accession to the throne in the name of filial piety, let the queen deal with the post-war affairs first, and then your Royal Highness will come out and take the throne, then everyone will have no excuse to speak of, and no one will be afraid of it. And now, everyone is actually not a question of who is on the throne, but their own lives, and at this time the country is so fragile, if you don't get it, Datang may fall apart. ”

In fact, he is a very smart person, otherwise, he would not have stayed by the prince's side all the time, but he is not as good as Han Yi, all this is a game under Han Yibu, he suddenly thought of this after the incident broke out, at first he also thought that the prince should be on the throne, he didn't expect that the businessman would come out to call out.

Li Hong's eyebrows also showed a hint of complaint, of course he wanted to inherit the throne, saying that it was impossible to say that he didn't want to, but he didn't necessarily want to clean up this mess, because if it didn't make it good, it would be lost, even if Li Shimin was facing the Central Plains that was in ruins, he was worried for many days, put in a lot of hard work, and it took more than ten or twenty years to revitalize the Tang Dynasty step by step, this is by no means an easy job, he also hopes that Wu Meiniang will clean up the mess by the way, but now it is impossible, Zhang Wenguan was too positive for them, and they didn't care about Li Hong's inner thoughts, they took it for granted.

After a while, Li Hong asked, "How is that good?" ”

Guo Yu thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness must calm down at this time, in fact, everyone does not dare to target you now, they also know that you are innocent, and both sides still respect you very much, but if you stand up, they may target you, in that case, it will be even worse, after all, the situation is confusing now, the prince you should go to the first emperor to guard filial piety, do not participate in their fight, and wait and see, because for the time being, they will not be able to achieve a result." ”

"Why?"

"Because Shang Shuling has not come back yet, Shang Shuling is still in command of the three armies, even if they divide the victory and defeat, it doesn't mean anything, if Shang Shuling doesn't agree, he can overthrow it all, because he has the ability."

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully.

Guo Yu suddenly asked: "Your Highness, the minister dares to ask, what did the first emperor say before he died?" ”

Li Hong was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Actually, my father didn't say anything before he died, although my father woke up once before he died, but my father was speechless, my father just took my hand and put it in the hand of the queen mother, it was the queen mother who thought that the father meant to let me inherit the throne." ”

Hearing this, Guo Yu nodded slightly.

Li Hongdao: "Teacher, why are you asking about this? ”

Guo Yu was entangled for a while, and sighed: "Your Highness, non-ministers are narrow-minded, but this kind of thing, anyone can take risks, so Your Highness should be vigilant, and no one can trust it." ”

When Li Hong heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Guo Yu has not forgotten that Wu Meiniang is a very ambitious woman, and the reason why everyone gradually forgets this point is because after the last crisis, Wu Meiniang seems to have really changed her mind, and she can be regarded as making up for it, but since she had this ambition in the past, she had to guard against her, maybe she really didn't think much about it during this period, but now at this time, with such a large group of people supporting her, will she really not be tempted? No one knows about this.

.....

Yang House.

"I don't know if the general dares to be Lu Guogong?"

Zhang Wenguan said to Yang Siner with an expectant expression.

But it's okay that he didn't mention it, as soon as he mentioned this trip to bite the gold, Yang Sine immediately felt that this matter had changed a little!

When Li Zhi ascended the throne, in fact, not everyone obeyed him, many people supported Li Tai, and it was Cheng Yanjin who led the forbidden army to wait for Li Zhi day and night, so that Li Zhi could successfully ascend the throne.

But the problem is that because of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi had designed to frame Cheng Yanjin, although no one could see it at the time, but now that I think about it, everyone still smells a trace of conspiracy, so how could Wang Wendu subdue Cheng Yanjin, this is a little too strange, and since then, Cheng Yanjin has never asked about the government affairs of the DPRK and China.

Yang Sine is now in the position of Cheng Biting Jin at that time, thinking about Cheng Biting Jin's fate, how could he still be Cheng Biting Jin, and said: "Zhang Shizhong, if I send out the forbidden army, the other party will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, this consequence is really big or small, besides, that Shang Shuling and General Qibi have not returned to the court, or wait for them to come back." ”

Zhang Wenguan couldn't help frowning. Suddenly remembered the army outside, if there is a fight in Chang'an, Han Yi is very likely to have bad intentions, it may really change the dynasty, this snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman profits, since they are in power by force, then Han Yi can certainly use force to solve the problem.

Yang Sine said again: "But don't worry, if they dare to act rashly on the Murong Bao Festival, I will fight with them, and I will never let them hurt the prince." ”

Although Zhang Wenguan was a little disappointed, there was no way, now everyone is really restrained, the key is that there is still a large army outside, and all the generals in the Tang Dynasty who can fight well are outside, which is really terrible.

Shaw House.

"Wuyi, why did you come back so early these days!"

Yuan Peony returned to Xiao's Mansion and found Xiao Wuyi sitting on the couch, eating fruit, only to be very surprised.

Xiao Wuyi said sullenly: "I haven't been to the Women's Federation Bureau for the past few days. ”

"Why?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my mouth shut." Xiao Wuyi said: "I think a man has been a king for so long, and it is not impossible to try it with a woman." Alas... It's just that if I want to make a statement, it may affect my husband. ”

Maybe it's the bastard, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. Yuan Peony muttered to himself, but there was still a relieved smile on his face.

With Xiao Wuyi's character, if she wants to go out of this door, she will definitely not be able to help it, she will definitely support Wu Meiniang, she was originally a maverick, and later became Han Yi's wife, her personality has not changed at all, she definitely hopes that a woman will be the emperor, but she knows that her identity is relatively special, if she wants to express her position, that person will definitely think of Han Yi.

"Sister Peony, I heard that your Yuan family has been making frequent moves recently!"

Yuan Peony nodded, and wrote lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, it is the uncle who decides it." ”

Xiao Wuyi asked again, "Then how do you think about it?" ”

Yuan Peony sighed and said, "I don't know either." ”

.....．

Chang'an Wharf.

"What's going on? Only these few ships? ”

Zhang Daxiang looked at the grain and grass docked on the dock, he was deeply surprised, and then looked at Zheng Shanxing on the side.

Zheng Shanxing shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

After a while, I saw several men in uniform disembarking from the boat.

Zhang Daxiang hurriedly went over and asked, "Why are these ships, are these grain ships from Yuanzhou and Shangzhou?" ”

The man said: "Back to Zhang Shilang, this is indeed a grain ship from Shangzhou, but when passing through Sanmen, those merchants suddenly transported all the grain to their warehouses, and the lower officials didn't know what the situation was. ”

"What?"

Zhang Daxiang frowned and said, "How can they do this, it's really unreasonable. ”

Zheng Shanxing couldn't help but sigh heavily when he heard this.

The merchant is now very angry with the scholars, you scholars are so powerful, we are so humble, then you take out the food yourself, and when you help, you come to us, this river has not been crossed, you want to tear down the bridge, then you should take care of the aftermath yourself.

As for the tax, the merchants said that they would not pay the tax, and that you should pay the money first, and we would pay the tax.

......

Cheng!

Cui Jijian saw a carriage slowly galloping, his expression was excited, and he rode his horse to meet him.

"Phew!"

When the coachman saw Cui Jijian coming, he hurriedly stopped the carriage.

I saw Cui Pingzhong walking out of the carriage.

"The boy has seen Daddy."

Cui Pingzhong looked at Cui Jijian, nodded with a smile, and asked again, "Yingying is all right." ”

Cui Jijian smiled bitterly: "Now Yingying has long stopped taking my eldest brother in her eyes, if I teach her a lesson, this woman in Chang'an will come to me to settle accounts." ”

Cui Pingzhong sighed and said, "What's going on?" ”

Cui Jijian said it simply.

"I see."

Cui Pingzhong smiled and said, "That's fine, this life is short, and it's not a bad thing to live a wonderful life." ”

Cui Jijian smiled: "Daddy doesn't know, now Chang'an City is really exciting." ”

Cui Pingzhong said with a smile: "I've heard about this, if you don't care, they will just make a fuss and decide nothing." ”

Cui Jijian sighed: "I also thought of this, now that the two factions in the court are equal, then Han Yi, who is outside and holds a large army, has become very important, and his words may change all this." Alas... really had to be convinced, Zhang Wen poured them into the fight for a long time, but in the end, Han Yi still had the final say. ”

Cui Pingzhong said with a smile: "It's not that Zhang Wen has been pouring it all for a long time, but they are all just Han Yi's chess pieces, and it is always the chess players who decide the victory, not the chess pieces." ”

"Yes!"

Cui Jijian sighed and said, "Actually, it's not just Zhang Wen who fills them, we, the people of the world, are just Han Yi's pawns." ”

Cui Pingzhong said with a smile: "There is no way, who allows him to create one problem after another, which cannot be solved by the wise men in the world, so he can turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands into rain, even if the people of the world don't want to, they must dance with it, including our father and son." But his plan is really bottomless!

I just thought that he would use Empress Wu to achieve his own goals, and even thought that the crisis was already over, but I didn't expect that he would set off such a big war, this war is simply unprecedented, and he also got all the benefits he wanted, without this war, there would be no 50 million national debts, no devastated borders, and no strong industrial and commercial class.

What's even more subtle is that he accurately grasped the only weaknesses of His Majesty, that is, His Majesty's indecision, as well as His Majesty's old illness, and the only way to seize military power from His Majesty's hands is to fight a war that His Majesty's body cannot bear, so that His Majesty is in a dilemma, whether to give up military power and leave the affairs of the military state to the queen, or to hold the military power in his own hands regardless of his own body. ”

Cui Jijian said: "Your Majesty let the queen come out to preside over government affairs, it doesn't mean that he completely trusts the queen, since that crisis, Your Majesty must be wary of the queen, so it is impossible for Your Majesty to give up military power." ”

Cui Pingzhong nodded and said: "Therefore, there is bound to be a situation like today, Your Majesty's body is simply not able to handle such a large-scale war, alas... Compared to this war, hehe, that crisis is just a warm-up, and it's not worth mentioning at all. ”

Cui Jijian no longer has the courage to fight with Han Yi, he has long been discouraged, his father is right, Han Yi dares to start this war, who dares to do this? said: "Regarding this matter, Han Yi has admitted it to the child, but the child never knows, is this right or wrong?" ”

Cui Pingzhong was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "Look at it, at least now the people dare not pay that unreasonable tax, this is a good start." ”
