At the same time, Li Ji, now known as the emperor, issued a "system of filial piety to the emperor by the crown prince" in the midst of endless grief. In the book, the deceased prince Li Hong was posthumously presented as filial piety to the emperor, and the second was to issue an official statement on the cause of the prince's death, declaring that Li Hong died of a deep illness and even a natural death due to the increase of old diseases.

Now that the crown prince has been dead for two months, Li Xian, the king of Yong, who should have been established as the crown prince by Li Zhi on June 5 in history, but because of this time and space, there is a talented and outstanding Yan king Li Yu, which has caused the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court to divide into two factions about who to appoint as the prince, and they quarrel with each other, and there is a tendency to intensify.

Supporting the establishment of Li Yu as the crown prince was led by the courtiers who served under his command by those descendants of the courtiers, and united some important ministers in the court to continue to write to the two sages: "King Yan is virtuous, knows how to make good use of talents, can conquer and destroy the unsubordinate, and has made remarkable achievements in governing Andong for five years. ”

After the book went up, it caused a shock in the government and the opposition, and many people were speculating whether this move was instructed by King Yan in Anton.

Could it be that when the dynasty is going to stage Zhenguan again, the king of Wei and the crown prince will compete for the throne?

While this recital of Liyan King as the prince aroused speculation among the government and the opposition, it was also noticed by many people of insight who were increasingly dissatisfied with the queen of heaven's control of the government and worried about the future of the Tang Dynasty.

In their opinion, instead of appointing a virtuous and talented King Yong who has no foundation in the court as the crown prince, it is better to set up King Yan, who has experience in leading the army to fight and govern the local area, and at the same time has a large number of loyal civil servants and military generals under his command, as the crown prince.

Yan Wangnuo is the crown prince, and the prince with military power must not be easily dealt with by a woman who can only play with political power.

This gave the anti-martial ministers hope of curbing the authority of the Queen of Heaven and reviving the dynasty.

Then, under the instigation of the ministers of the anti-martial faction, more courtiers wrote to the second sage to ask King Li Yan to be the crown prince. At this time, as the first ministers who proposed to establish King Yan as the crown prince, they were reduced to a supporting role in this dispute for the establishment of the prince.

The Liyan faction accounted for almost one-third of the courtiers, which shocked Li Zhi by the influence of his four sons in the court, and at the same time aroused the alarm of the queen of heaven.

Those recitals asking King Liyan to be the prince will pass the eyes of the queen of heaven, who are advocating that she is a courtier who is advocating for her to be a gentleman, and all oppose her interference in politics.

Seeing that the dozens of recitals on the case were all advocating Si Yan as the crown prince, the queen of heaven sneered, and she couldn't be more clear about what the hell these courtiers had in their hearts. It is nothing more than to curb her interference in the government by setting up Si Yan, who is in charge of the military power of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, as the crown prince. As expected, Nuo Zhen is as these people wish, after Si Yang becomes the prince, it won't be long before these people should ask the prince to supervise state affairs, and try their best to let her return to the harem after this day to be a queen who doesn't care about world affairs. The promise is not feasible, maybe after the death of His Majesty, he will advise Si Yang to imitate the Qin Zhaoxiang royal system, force himself to release power, and then imprison in the deep palace.

At this moment, the two nephews Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, who had been recalled from Lingnan by the Queen of Heaven in the past two years, were standing in the hall, and they were also clear about why their aunt sneered at the book.

"The Queen of Heaven, the ministers of the court and the central government have made King Yan the crown prince, but they are not at ease and want to use the power in the hands of King Yan to your detriment. According to the minister's view, the queen of heaven should be given to His Majesty the Emperor of Tomorrow, for the sake of the stability of the country, and should respect the primogeniture inheritance system. When King Yong was appointed as the crown prince as soon as possible, he should be dissenting from the dissent of the peace government and the opposition. ”

Wu Chengsi said with a serious face.

Wu Sansi, who served as the general of the right guard after returning from Lingnan, also said earnestly: "After heaven, Yan Wangxiong has been in charge of Anton for several years, and has been operating for a long time, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, and he will not lose his momentum. Now he ignores the discipline of Chang Lun, the old and the young are orderly, and peeps at the artifact, which shows that he has long been disobedient. The Queen of Heaven should make a decision as soon as possible to make a decision to eliminate the power of King Yan, so as not to hate him for not winning the position of the crown prince, and fear that he will cause a catastrophe in the future. ”

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi are very clear that the two of them, as the nephews of the Queen of Heaven, were recalled from Lingnan by the Queen of Heaven to hold prominent positions in the DPRK and China at a rocket-like speed, and became a group of relatives of the Wu family who became a community of interests, and they were a thorn in the side of the people who were opposed to the Queen of Heaven and interfered in politics.

Nuo didn't want to be liquidated in the future, so the two of them should start from the interests of their Wu clan's foreign relatives and encourage the queen of heaven to attack King Yan, who was a threat to their current power.

Queen Nuo said that His Majesty had cut off the authority of King Yan, and a tiger without teeth and claws was not afraid to keep it.

Watching the two nephews scramble to ask for the right to cut the four dragons, the queen of heaven felt a little uncomfortable. must be his beloved son, who has been deeply loved by his mother for more than ten years. She has a filial piety, never does anything against her, and has never let her be alert to the increasingly powerful Si Yansheng, and let him act in Anton. Until Hong'er died violently, the vacant position of the crown prince, with the courtiers controversing over the establishment of the prince, made the queen of heaven wary of the son of King Yan.

The queen of heaven is also very entangled now, about the courtiers' proposal to appoint Si Yang as the crown prince, whether Si Yang is involved in the end. Did he want the position of the crown prince and instructed the courtiers to support him behind his back, or did the courtiers take a fancy to his ability and the military power he now mastered, and wanted to push King Yan to the position of the prince to control the mother with the son.

The queen of heaven is confident that even if Si Yang is made the crown prince, she can use means to eliminate his military power in the name of the imperial court, and dismiss and degrade his group of civil and military generals in Andong. Doing this is nothing more than a waste of hands.

But the queen of heaven is reluctant to take risks, so in her heart, she can't let Si Yang take the crown prince, whether he wants it or is pushed by the courtiers who oppose her.

It stands to reason that it is more beneficial for her to set up a third son, Li Xian, but everyone in the court knows that Li Xian, the king of Zhou, is greedy for fun and has a shallow learning, and is not the choice of a human king. Not to mention that there is a better choice, the ministers of the court and the central government will not agree, even Li Zhi, who has always been obedient to her, will not make Li Xian the crown prince anyway.

In history, it was precisely because Li Xian was abolished for the crime of treason that Li Zhi had no choice to make Li Xian the crown prince. But now there are two talented and learned sons to choose from, even if Li Zhi, who is tossed by the wind and is alive and alive, and his brain is not clear, Li Xian will not be established.

"The two of you contacted a group of courtiers and resolutely opposed the establishment of King Yan as the crown prince in the court, remember, the reasons for the opposition must be justified and well-founded, so that others cannot refute it."

The queen of heaven, who had figured out what decisions to make in this dispute over the crown prince, instructed her two nephews. As for whether to cut off Si Yan's military power in Anton, she still has to probe Li Zhi's tone. In the past two years, she found that Li Zhi's support for Siyang's overseas expansion has increased significantly, and she doesn't seem to care about the possible consequences of Siyang's growing power in Anton.
