The queen of heaven left the dormitory where Li Zhi was resting in disappointment, looked back at the gate of the palace and muttered to herself: "Let Si Yang develop his power in Andong, and use Chengxiong to dominate the Central Plains in the east and west of Liao, and you can't see the danger signals in it." Why, until now, you don't have the will to curb the four dragons? What exactly do you think in your heart? ”

In the court, the ministers led by Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi who supported King Liyong as the crown prince kept writing to Li Zhi asking Li Zhi to establish King Yong as the crown prince as soon as possible to reassure the people of the world, and argued with the courtiers who supported King Yan.

"King Yan has always been greedy for money and profit, and he does not hesitate to compete with the people for profit, and every year he collects a huge amount of people's fat and people's ointment from all over the country, and his wealth is comparable to that of the country. In the past few years, King Yan has ruled Anton, and his reputation for cruelty and murder has spread far and wide, poisoning the people under the jurisdiction of the Anton Protectorate, making the people abandon my Tang Dynasty and run to Yidi. In the frontier, he relied on the trouble of picking quarrels and provoking troubles, fabricated charges to raise troops to crusade against the vassal states that were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, raised troops into the territory of the vassal states, and connived at the soldiers to wantonly burn, kill, loot and tarnish the name of benevolence and righteousness of our Tang Dynasty, causing the Quartet to become more and more centrifuged. Judging from the various actions of King Yan, it is not the appearance of a benevolent monarch. If he is the crown prince, he will be another Emperor Yang of Sui in the future. ”

Wu Chengsi sincerely expressed his sincerity to Li Zhi, and Wu Sansi and others immediately stood up to show their support.

"In recent years, King Yan has reused Tiberius, a Great Qin merchant from the west, to take charge of the Wanquan Trading House that operates trade in the Western Regions. Every year, thousands of horses superior to the Tang Dynasty were purchased from the countries of the Western Regions and transported to the privately built horse husbandry supervisor in Andong for breeding, and the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, the Beihai Iron Cavalry, and the Liangyi and Two Holy Armies were formed, with a total of six elite cavalry of 18,000 people. In addition to the cavalry owned by the other thirty-four guards and armies formed by King Yan, he could dispatch 30,000 elite cavalry. It seems to be located in Liaodong, looking down on the Central Plains, Your Majesty. ”

"King Yan has a heavy army, his heart is unpredictable, Your Majesty must not make him the crown prince, otherwise the murder of Emperor Liu Song Wen of the Southern Dynasty may be staged."

This is very heart-wrenching, and the whole court is shocked, and they all look at the imperial history of the performance in amazement, and they don't know if this imperial history is pumping out of their brains, and they dare to say this kind of thing. Didn't you see that Erwudu, who was the nephew of the Queen of Heaven, only dared to mention the strength of King Yan and criticize his character? In this way, he vetoed the rationality of appointing King Yan as the crown prince, and at the same time reminded the emperor that King Yan needed to reduce his authority for the sake of the stability of the country.

However, the imperial history suddenly took the matter of Emperor Wen of Liu Song being killed by his crown prince with his soldiers and horses in the East Palace to admonish Li Zhi, is this not clear to provoke the father-son relationship of His Majesty today?

Li Zhi, who has always been tepid, was furious and shouted at the gold-armored soldiers outside the palace: "Come on, drag out this thief who is full of nonsense and deliberately provokes slander." ”

"......"

Yushi immediately weakened his legs in fright, and begged: "Your Majesty spares ...... life"

After the guards dragged Yushi out, the court, which was originally a little noisy between the two factions fighting over who was the crown prince, quieted down, and no minister wanted to bump into Li Zhi's anger at this moment.

The queen of heaven behind the curtain gritted her silver teeth, "I don't know who found this brainless imperial history, who originally attacked the many defects of Si Yan who could not be the prince in the court, but was destroyed by his words." ”

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were running over with 10,000 grass and mud horses in their hearts at the moment, why didn't this stupid person see it before? Nuo ruined his aunt's big event, and the two of them could not escape the blame.

The anger on Li Zhi's face did not disappear, he glanced at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and said, "Scatter the Dynasty." ”

Li Zhi, who was angrily on the way back to the palace, called Zhang Chao to his front and asked him to summon several ministers from the political affairs hall to come.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the ministers gathered in groups to discuss whether the elderly King Yong or the King of Yan, who held heavy troops, in the court today, for the dispute between the crown princes.

As the protagonist of the dispute between the princes, Li Xian, the king of Yong, walked back with a sad face.

Li Xian didn't expect that because of the sudden death of his eldest brother, the vacated position of the crown prince would put him on the opposite side of the fourth brother. He never thought of fighting for the prince, and after the death of his eldest brother, he even took the initiative to close the door and not make friends with courtiers. As for who among the four brothers, it is up to the father and the queen to decide who is the prince. But his low profile did not get out of the battle for the establishment of the reserve, but passively rolled into this whirlpool.

Thinking of the group of courtiers led by Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi just now, in order to help him fight for the position of prince, he deliberately attacked and annihilated the fourth brother, Li Xian felt very uncomfortable.

As for why Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi helped him fight for the position of the crown prince, Li Xian knew very well in his heart that this was the meaning of the queen mother, and he was afraid that the fourth brother who had military power would become the crown prince and challenge the authority of the queen mother.

How could the empress \ queen mother, who had a strong desire for power in all dynasties, hope to inherit the throne with a son who has outstanding ability and has the ability to oppose him?

Nearly one-third of the ministers in the court supported the fourth brother as the crown prince, and I don't know whether it was the fourth brother's intention or the courtiers who opposed the queen's interference in politics wanted to pull a strong reinforcement into the court to fight against the mother's private behavior. Although I also have thoughts about the position of the crown prince in my heart, but in the current situation between the DPRK and China, why should I become a tool for others to seek his own personal interests? Nuo is fourth brother wants the position of prince, what if I let him? Do you want to turn your brothers against each other like in the previous dynasty? ”

Li Xian smiled miserably, the dignified King Yong couldn't avoid becoming a pawn in the hands of others and becoming a tool for others to make profits.

Do you want brotherhood, or do you want to turn against each other for the sake of the future brothers on the throne?

Li Xian knew that he was not as good as his fourth brother in leading the army, and his foundation in the court was shallow, and the people who could be used under his command were scarce except for the officials in the government. No matter how you look at it, the fourth brother is more suitable to be this prince than him.

Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others saw Li Xian alone, and their expressions were lonely, as if they had something on their minds.

Wu Sansi said with a smile: "King Yong, this is worrying about the position of the crown prince, colleagues, we have to work hard for King Yong to win the position of the crown prince as soon as possible." Otherwise, when will I be able to see the happy face of His Royal Highness King Yong? ”

"What the right guard general said is extremely true, we will fight for the crown prince for His Royal Highness King Yongwang and die with my liver and brain."

"Let's go to meet King Xiayong, who will be the future prince of our Liting."

Wu Chengsi smiled and led everyone to catch up with Li Xianzuo and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong, why should he be worried, the ministers will definitely die to advise Your Highness, and make His Royal Highness the prince as soon as possible, and please take care of your physical and mental health, and ascend to the position of prince in the near future to seek benefits for the people of the Tang Dynasty." ”

"His Royal Highness has been handsome, dignified, and quick since he was a child, and he is deeply loved by the two saints, and he is the best candidate for the future benevolence of the Tang Dynasty. The minister believes that His Majesty will eventually appoint His Royal Highness as the crown prince to settle the world. ”

Li Xian chuckled, disdainful of the compliments of Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi and others, "I understand your kindness, but I don't want to be the crown prince, so don't make it difficult for others, and take my leave." ”

Li Xian threw his sleeves away, leaving Wu Chenghe, Wu Sansi and others stunned, "King Yong really has no intention of becoming the crown prince as he said?" ”

"No matter what, we're still going to push you up."

Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi thought.
