The silence in the court made everyone feel a strange pressure, and everyone was thinking, now that the two parties in the court are opposed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is facing such a situation, how will he decide?

Some people are even thinking that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succumbs to the noble and wealthy families, will he be able to advise the Crown Prince to be removed on the day His Majesty ascends to the court? As for the reason, do you still need to think about it? A casual catch is enough to catch a lot of reasons for deposing the crown prince Li Hong.

Several officials in the East Palace who can participate in the discussion of politics led by the above official Yi, Yang Sijian, and Xu Yushi are frowning and solemn at the moment, if they don't know how serious the crisis is facing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, their lives will really be in vain.

Any negligence will attract the ruthless blow of the five surnames and seven families, and the noble and wealthy families, and now because of the new money and the old money, the court is arguing until now, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and they do not give in to each other.

Today's incident is a government that has been brewing for a few days, and His Majesty and the Queen have not shown up to now, does this mean that His Majesty and the Queen have chosen to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince face it alone, what is their position? Do you support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Or do you support five surnames and seven families, noble and wealthy families, etc?!

The silence in the court continued, and Li Zhi and Wu Mei behind the screen were still watching the development of the situation, but Li Zhi tightened the folds in his hands, and silently talked to Queen Wu Mei to see how Li Hong would make decisions.

Is it the sharp reformers led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who continue to use the half-year income of the Tang Dynasty as a bargaining chip, or choose to compromise with the five surnames and seven families and the noble and wealthy families when it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong?

The royal family and nobles looked leisurely, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be able to reach an agreement with the five surnames and seven families in private to slowly resolve the dispute, but now he is unable to move such a major event to the court, and looking at the current form, he has not received the support of His Majesty and the queen, and now he is alone, can he confront the five surnames and seven families above the court?

Now that a Jinyang Wang's attack has already put him in a predicament, not to mention that others have not officially made trouble.

The needle drop in the court can be heard, and everyone is waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince's decision, especially Wang Yuan, the head of the Jinyang Wang family, who is now at ease, smiling, and looking like he has won the battle.

Wang Yifang, Kong Zhiyue, and Cao Wang Li Ming, these are all people who have close contacts with his Wang family, and he stands above the court as the head of the family, but it is just to give his Royal Highness the crown prince a face, and at the same time, it is also to prove in the court that the Jinyang Wang family has not declined, and is still a major pillar of the imperial court.

"Sometimes, a person pays a higher price for something they don't get for nothing. There is a cloud in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: everyone in the world knows that taking it is to take it, and I don't know how to take it. They all think that taking something from others is a kind of harvest, but they don't know that giving to others is also a kind of gain. But this solution? Confucius University Scholar? Li Hong said lightly and asked Kong Zhiyue, who was standing proudly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a brilliant learner, and he really does it." Kong Zhiyue nodded and replied.

"There is a saying in "Xunzi Wang System": 'The people are in power, and then the gentleman is in power.' It is said: 'The monarch and the boat are also; Those who are common, water also; The water carries the boat, and the water capsits the boat. '"Zhenguan Political Leaders: On the Form of Government", the first emperor and Wei Zheng also said: "Jun, Zhou also; People, water too. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. But now there are people who do not abide by the laws of the country, exploit the people's old money, exchange it at a low price, and then exchange it with the court at a high price. Li Hong himself felt that his teeth were sore, and he dragged two sentences of ancient books, which already made him shake his head.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, we are just sharing the worries of the court, exchanging old money with the people, to reduce the burden on the court, and to exchange it for unity, so that the new money can enter the regular process faster, and there is no such thing as exploiting the people." Wang Yuan is over seventy years old, and his legs and feet are very neat, it should be to reflect the prestige of his family master, so he slowly walked out two steps with a crutch in his hand and said.

"Then don't you want to thank the founding prince on behalf of the court?" Li Hong got up slowly and walked down step by step, with a compelling heroic spirit flashing between his eyebrows, similar to the killing aura when he first returned to Chang'an from Anxi.

Walked to a place not far from Wang Yuan and stopped, forced to look at Wang Yuan and asked: "Since the founding county of the founding county believes that this move is for the convenience of the people of my Tang Dynasty and the worries of the imperial court, then why don't you exchange the old money from the people in your hand for one penny and one penny to the imperial court, why did you choose not to go to the Royal Bank of Taiyuan Mansion for a long time to exchange it?" ”

One penny for one penny, the people's hands originally had seven or eight hundred wen of the same money, after passing through the hands of the Wang family, they lost at least two hundred wen, and the exchange with the imperial court required one exchange for one penny and two coins or even higher.

"There are too many of them, and the old ministers need time to take inventory, and even some of the money has rusted and needs to be cleaned before it can be used again. As for exchanging one article for one penny, Lao Chen has never done it, the people have always given Lao Chen 800 Wen, and Lao Chen has always given 1,000 Wen ...... to the people. ”

"Full of lies! Where is Di Renjie! A trace of murderous intent flashed on Li Hong's body, interrupting Wang Yuan's words and shouting, the founding prince of the country whose title is the second grade.

Di Renjie walked through the crowd, but Li Hong kept staring at Wang Yuan and said: "I don't know the crime of exchanging with the imperial court for a long time, and I even quibble on the grounds that there are too many people!" I think it's because you need to bury the new money in the soil for a while before you can take it out, so you've been waiting for the old money to be unearthed! ”

"Your Royal Highness can't be arrogant, as the head of the Wang family, the old minister has been acting openly and honestly for many years, even when the first emperor was alive, he would not criticize the old minister so much, not to mention that the old minister and the Jinyang Wang family have been ...... for many years."

"Right and wrong! See for yourself! As soon as Di Renjie walked to Li Hong's side, before the documents in his hand could be handed to Li Hong, Li Hong snatched them and photographed them to Wang Yuan.

Turning around and ignoring Wang Yuan's angry old face, for so many years, no one has ever dared to treat himself with such an attitude, even His Majesty Li Zhi is courteous when he sees himself!

"Where is Su Jing of Hongwen Pavilion!" Li Hong turned around and stood in the center of the court, looking at the black pressure on a group of people and shouted coldly.

At this moment, it's your turn to fight back, you are not an idiot, you dare to fight against the five surnames and seven families alone, the court is an excellent place to play right and wrong, divide the enemy and me, if you don't use it, you are really stupid.

Everyone hadn't reacted from Li Hong's shock of angrily scolding Wang Yuan, but they didn't know why Li Hong was suddenly looking for trouble with Su Jing again!

"Chen Su Jing has seen His Highness." Su Jing is in his forties and now holds the position of a bachelor at Hongwenkan.

"The person who took this test paper, but you are the one who took the exam?" Li Hong picked up the exam paper with Lin Shiling's name written on the desk and asked.

"Back to Your Highness, it's the minister's exam." Su Jing frowned, and respectfully accepted the exam paper handed to him by Li Hong.

This person was deeply impressed in his heart, because during the scientific examination last year, there was only such a person who took the Ming Arithmetic exam, and it was difficult for him not to remember him.

And at that time, he was also impressed by this person's talent in a subject of Ming Arithmetic, and it was also an exam paper that he thought about the most, and finally passed it, as for whether it was passed, it was the part of Hongwenguan and Guozijian Scholars, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Do you know if this person is in the first place or not on the list?" Li Hong asked coldly.

The entire court is a little confused, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fighting against the Jinyang Wang family? Why didn't he take advantage of the victory to chase after he seemed to have obtained the handle of the Wang family, but instead asked if a poor student was in the first place.

The others in the court didn't understand, but Wang Yuan, the founder of the second grade, after hearing Li Hong's question about Su Jing, the veteran who was holding the document that Li Hong had given him couldn't help but tremble a few times.

And this scene, naturally, can't escape the eyes of Di Renjie, the secretary of the Dali Temple, who is standing in a fat place.

Kong Zhiyue was also shocked! Lin Shiling! He naturally remembered this name, the only poor student who did not take the Ming Jing and Jinshi as the subject for the scientific examination last year, and he was still in the first place, but in the end he was rejected by himself and replaced by another student.

The student who replaced Lin Shiling was Wang Ming, the grandson of Wang Yuan.

Looking at Su Jing's confused expression, Kong Zhiyue's heart continued to sink, and a big question began to run around in his mind: How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know about Lin Shiling's replacement? Lin Shiling is just a poor family, how can he know His Royal Highness the Prince? What's more, he came to Chang'an alone for the scientific expedition, and there was no one he knew in Chang'an, even in Taiyuan, everything had been handled properly by the Wang family, why was it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came out for him to ask about this matter now?

What didn't you know about in between? Even Yan Zhaofu of Guozijian didn't know about this matter, and he didn't tell him for the sake of safety!

Su Jing didn't dare to speak up, in the face of His Royal Highness the Prince's questioning, Su Jing forced himself to calm down, he knew that once a mistake appeared to him, it would not be as simple as exile and being convicted!

Now the first thing he has to figure out is whether the handwriting about himself on the exam paper is really his own handwriting, and whether those comments were written by himself at the beginning.

Facing the questioning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Su Jing's hands trembled more than the hands of Wang Yuan, the head of the Jinyang Wang family, and repeatedly read the comments and handwriting on the exam paper several times, and after confirming that it was indeed the original exam paper, he also confirmed that it was indeed his own handwriting.

He bowed and said: "Back to Your Highness, this exam paper is indeed from the hands of the minister, and the minister is only responsible for the main examination and comments, and after passing, he will be handed over to others to evaluate whether he is up to the top." ”

"You just have to tell me who will end up with this exam paper, and who will you hand it over?" Li Hong still despised Su Jing.

Su Jing's name is known by himself, but not from his own memory, but from Sun Simiao, who once said that this person has a deep understanding of pharmacology, especially for medicinal herbs and various minerals.
