Body 939 The distress of the emperor's eldest son
He is not deeply involved in the world, or as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he does not have a clear outline and understanding of people's hearts and strategies, and he unconsciously began to be regarded as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so all kinds of people began to appear around him, openly and secretly close to him, show favor to him, and hope that one day he can enter his circle of Li Ye.
Although Li Hong has not yet established a prince, it does not mean that the people below will not figure out the holy will in private, and will not take the queen's eldest son Li Ye as a natural crown prince, and then start to make political investments in advance.
Li Ye was able to turn away anyone at the beginning, and he must have been just an ordinary prince of the Tang Dynasty like everyone else when Li Hong had not yet established a prince, and he naturally thought in his heart that the prince of the Tang Dynasty must be his own.
But before he became the crown prince, neither Li Ye himself nor Pei Wanying regarded the position of the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty as something that he Li Ye should have.
Li Ye can also keep this in mind at the same time, so he did not chase and flatter some people openly and secretly, but at such a young age, he has always adhered to Pei Wanying's reminders and warnings to him.
But Pei Qing, the assassin of Suizhou, is different, as his cousin, that is, the son of Pei Xingjian's younger brother Pei Xingyan, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, even if he is cautious, it is impossible for him to guard against his family every day.
And as a prince, it is not impossible to associate with the relatives of the queen mother's family, but it is reasonable.
It's just that he didn't expect that as his relationship with his cousin Pei Xuan, who was studying in Guozi Prison together, got better and better, a big net had slowly covered him.
Everything happened without Li Ye noticing, and naturally, under the impetus of time, Li Ye would occasionally go out of the palace to have a banquet with them with the consent of the queen mother, and even went to a few famous banquets handed over by his cousin.
But in Li Ye's opinion, his cousin Pei Qing has always been honest and honest, especially in front of him.
But that's the case, two days ago, he was noticed by Guo Jingzhi, a scholar whose father personally judged the case in Luoyang a few years ago, and now as Sima of Suizhou, he found out his top boss, Pei Qing, who was corrupt and bent the law and formed a faction.
And some of these officials because of his status as the emperor's family, and Pei Qing's intentionally or unintentionally under the banner of the emperor's eldest son, began to accept bribes from officials from all over the world in Suizhou, and even some officials in the capital were drawn to him by him, hoping that one day after Li Ye was made the crown prince, they would be able to enter the East Palace to serve in advance, and plot in advance for the future Feihuang Tengda.
Li Ye didn't know all this at all, and even many times when he went to Pei Qing's banquet, he would meet some officials from other places and the capital, and between his doubts, he would be prevaricated by Pei Qing for coincidental reasons.
And Li Ye didn't delve into this matter, and didn't think about it carefully, how could there be such a coincidence every time, when Pei Qing was receiving gifts from officials from all over the world, he would also choose some good things to send to the palace.
At first, Li Ye would refuse, but Pei Qing went from simple to complex, at the beginning, it was some worthless and even unworthy objects, and slowly began to become heavier and heavier, in this process, it was natural that Li Ye's vigilance was completely polished.
So now, Li Ye has been co-opted by Pei Qing uncontrollably, and with Li Ye's reputation, he has established a large circle of future prince officialdom.
Pei Wanying sighed helplessly, but she didn't know what to say, she didn't like this cousin very much, when she hadn't entered the palace yet, her affair with His Majesty was only limited to a small part of the people who knew about it, and this cousin, who had never been to his door, began to become courteous.
Pei Xingjian lived in Anxi and Tibet for a long time, and then did not stay in Chang'an for a few years, and he and Chen Jingzhi, the father of Qinghan's sister-in-law, served in Quanzhou Sailor.
In the early years, Pei Wanying had been living with her mother in Chang'an, and her cousin and second uncle rarely came to visit her and her mother at the door of her own house.
At that time, my father was still in Tibet, and there were many people at the door of his house, but he was very clean and cold, but since my father came back, the relatives in the family suddenly changed their faces, and they all became enthusiastic about themselves and their mothers.
But fortunately, over the years, Pei Wanying, as the queen of the Tang Dynasty, has always adhered to her duties, never participated in the affairs of the court, and even the pillow wind has never blown in Li Hong's ears.
For these relatives in the family, no one has ever said a good thing, as for their careers, Pei Wanying never asked, only when she went home from the palace, in the face of so many relatives suddenly added to the family, she would ask a few words out of politeness, but she also tried not to involve important matters in the court.
After being cautious and walking on thin ice for so many years, seeing Li Ye grow up little by little, the relatives at home did not have nothing to do because he was the queen.
Although His Majesty has never established a prince, Pei Wanying, who has always been indifferent, has never mentioned this matter before Li Hong.
But who would have thought that such a thing has happened around Li Ye now, as the eldest son of the emperor, if he is implicated by Pei Qing and others, I am afraid that he Li Ye will not be able to bear this responsibility at all.
"It's over, you've been tricked, you've been cheated by your uncle and cousin. Your father will definitely not spare you. Gently pouting, and suddenly found that she gave birth to a princess for Li Hong, which couldn't be better.
At the very least, there will be no such troubles, and no one will use your name outside the palace to swagger and deceive, pull parties and factions to establish their own power and interest circles.
Pei Wanying glanced helplessly at the heartless gentleness, a few days ago she was envious that she gave birth to two princes for His Majesty, and now she begins to feel that she has given birth to a princess again.
"Say a few words, it's time to look like a concubine." Pei Wanying glanced at Li Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at him and said gently.
"The mother concubine can't help it, even your mother can't help it. You should honestly tell your father the truth, as for your queen mother, you should not listen to any advice, lest you get involved in front of your father and queen mother again. In the end, she said gently, but there were some puns in Pei Wanying's ears.
I couldn't help but glance at the gentleness that was not in shape, and then said to Li Ye: "Get up, if you think about how to tell your father, then you can go to see your father now, if you don't think about it, think about when to go here." ”
"Erchen has thought about it, Erchen will go now." Li Ye, who got up, took a deep breath, and after saluting Pei Wanying and gentlely, he turned around and walked out.
Watching Li Ye's still very immature back leave, Wen Rou felt a little unbelievable, put an index finger lightly on his red lips, looked at the back that disappeared from the door again, and then turned his head to look at Pei Wanying, who had a calm face, and suddenly said urgently: "Aren't you in a hurry at all?" You...... You should think of a way for him too, don't you think I'm in the way here? Then I'll call Ye'er back. ”
Pei Wanying sighed speechlessly, and glanced at her again: "Why am I in a hurry?" You left in the morning because you were in the way, and you were allowed to sit until now? ”
"Hey, do you really not understand or do you not understand? Ye'er is the eldest son of the emperor, aren't you afraid that this little thing will affect him to be made the crown prince in the future? "It's incredible to be gentle, you're just indifferent to being a mother, don't bother the eldest son of the emperor to inherit the crown prince's position.
"That's Your Majesty's business, he should have a headache, who to set up as the prince is what Your Majesty should think, as long as Your Majesty thinks which prince is suitable, it is best to set up which prince is the best, it doesn't have to be the eldest son of the emperor, and now Li Ye has not been established, someone has begun to beat his idea, who knows what it will be like if he is appointed as the prince. If you want me to say it....... ”
Pei Wanying quietly lowered her voice, and then looked at the gentle and said a little sneakily: "I only like Li Ye if I don't make Li Ye the prince, at least I don't have to worry about being afraid, as long as I can live a peaceful life, in my opinion, it is the most suitable." ”
"I didn't pursue it, no wonder Li Ye's temperament is becoming more and more like you, sooner or later, one day, it will completely lead you astray, but Princess Yezi's personality is not like you, and she is a little similar to Your Majesty." Gently raised her head, thinking about the appearance of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty who was a beautiful billet, and said.
"That's spoiled by His Majesty, lawless, she doesn't look like a princess at all, and Li Lingyue hasn't taught Li Ye anything good." Pei Wanying looked dissatisfied when she thought of her sister-in-law.
When she was seven or eight years old, Li Lingyue began to teach Li Ye makeup, and once painted the heavy makeup, which almost made Li Hong angry, the little princess carved in pink and jade, let Li Lingyue become a heart, like a virgin next to the dancing god, with a thick layer of foundation on her face, and her cheeks were like two pomegranates, and the red spots in the center of her eyebrows didn't know if the color was useless, or how to get it, like a mole.
"Anyway, I won't let Li Mei get along with Li Lingyue alone, if I am taken by Li Lingyue, ......."
"Just follow you? How old is Li Mei? The palace maid is not holding a plush toy in her hand, she is a weapon with knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks and forks, you don't have to worry about being a concubine, be careful I bring it to my palace to raise. Pei Wanying felt that Gentleness and Li Hong were two irresponsible parents, and Gentleness was even worse, a typical example of just giving birth and not raising them.
"That's not good, that's my sweetheart, what would I do without her? I'm also going to pass on my martial arts to Li Mei. Gentle, like an old hen, immediately jumped to her feet and said.
The two girls sat in the palace and continued to have a match, not worrying about their eldest son who was walking towards the Zichen Palace.
