Chapter 196: Life is like a chess game
Everyone officially accepted the official position, and Xu Jingzong said to Li Jiancheng:
"Your Highness, Wei Chen came back from other places and found that there is a crisis in the East Palace now, if it is not resolved in time, I am afraid that everyone in our East Palace will be swords and axes in the future, and their heads will not be guaranteed!" Hearing Xu Jingzong's words, everyone present was shocked into a cold sweat. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
"Lord Xu is too alarmist!" Huang Wenqing is optimistic, but Xu Jingzong is not as optimistic as Huang Wenqing.
"Dare to ask Your Highness and all the adults here, what do you think the former crown prince Yang Yong failed?"
"Do you need to ask? Isn't it because the prince lost his morality and lost his sacred heart and fell out of favor, and finally ended up miserable? Qu Tushou first said:
"Then may I ask my lords, why did Emperor Wen of the former dynasty have four sons in addition to the crown prince, and he was in the wheel of talent and martial arts, and Yang Liang, the king of Han, was not worse than the second son Yang Guang, why did he pass the crown prince to the second son and give up the fifth son?" Pei Kuan continued:
"It's not simple, isn't it just that the young and old are orderly, the eldest is down, and the second is substituted, even in the people, this rule is the rule!" Most of the people present were human 'spirits', so only Qu Tushou and Pei Kuan, two daredevils, answered. Because it was about the royal struggle, and Li Jiancheng was still Yang Guang's 'son-in-law', they didn't dare to say some things, so everyone else watched coldly:
"What the two adults said is reasonable, but they haven't said the point yet, according to the bottom of the matter, the second prince Yang Guang was able to stand out among the five princes back then, because he let the emperor know that he was the crown prince, and Yang Yong was the abolished prince." As soon as Xu Jingzong said this, the interest of everyone present was mentioned by him. Li Jiancheng motioned for him to continue:
"Your Royal Highness, it is true that the crown prince Yang Yong lost his morality, but Yang Guang also played a role in pushing the 'wave' to add fuel to the fire, first of all, he colluded with Yang Su to buy through the imperial history, as long as the prince Yang Yong is at fault, it will immediately reach the ears of the emperor, and Yang Guang has any merits, and it will be immediately transmitted to the emperor's ears. Now, His Royal Highness is also using this plan. β
"How?" Not only Li Jiancheng listened carefully, but others also pricked up their ears seriously.
"When the minister returned to Guanzhong from Shandong, he heard more along the road that His Royal Highness was brave in battle, knowing people and making good use of them, take Lord Li Jing as an example, if it weren't for His Highness's desperate preservation, he may have already become a dry bone in the grave, but now what I hear most in the market is that His Royal Highness relies on Li Jing very much, and even the third Highness and Li Jing disputed, and the matter of the Second Highness defending Li Jing has been rumored to have a nose and eyes. Doesn't Your Highness think it's strange? Li Jiancheng fell into deep thought:
"Your Highness, the minister thinks that the rumors in the market are just the gossip of fools and people, why should Your Highness worry about it." Huang Wenqing first widened Li Jiancheng's heart, and Qu Tushou, Pei Kuan, Xiong Kuohai and others also echoed him. Di Zhixun and Xu Kanling bowed their heads and were silent. Xu Jingzong said.
"The rumors in the market may not be credible once, but if you talk about it for a long time, there is an old saying, three people become tigers, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be a problem to raise tigers." As soon as Xu Jingzong finished speaking, Di Zhixun and Di Renjie, father and son, also hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, the minister thinks what Lord Xu said is reasonable. Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, but we must let the people know that there are people who have shown grace and benevolence to benefit all the people, and I ask Your Highness to make a decision as soon as possible. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also nodded and said:
"Your Highness, the ministers seconded the proposal, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"I don't know what your Aiqing has to do?" Everyone looked at Xu Jingzong again, and Xu Jingzong said unhurriedly:
"Your Highness, the minister has two strategies, you can solve His Highness's predicament first."
"Xu Qing, please speak!"
"First, please send your highness to send all your subordinates to secretly spread the wisdom and merits of your highness in the major classes of Guanzhong, as far as the minister knows, when your highness was young, he was a Turk in Longzhou and outwitted Yongfengcang, which can confirm that His Highness has wisdom and bravery. Second, His Royal Highness's subordinates are full of talents, such as Huang Wenqing and Di Zhixun, Huang has always been diligent and diligent when he was the county commander, and never disturbed the people and harmed the people, while Lord Di is good at judging cases, but they all worship His Highness and defect. General Xiong Kuohai was originally an officer in Longzhou, and he was not afraid of the disaster of exterminating the clan and defected to His Highness to raise troops, and asked His Highness to preach it one by one, so as to prove that His Highness is not stupid and affectionate. As soon as he heard Xu Jingzong's words, Du Ruhui immediately 'interjected':
"His Royal Highness is not only brave and affectionate, but also literary and graceful, when I traveled to Qishan with His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness once sang a poem, and that poem makes me unforgettable." As soon as they heard Du Ruhui say this, everyone became interested.
"Oh! Please come out, Lord Du. Du Ruhui shook his head for a while:
"Xia Shang is in the Central Plains, and the Western Zhou Dynasty is in the Guanzhong; The land is all Chinese, how can there be Rong Di. β
"What a poem! The atmosphere is majestic, and the meaning of swallowing mountains and rivers, and there is the "mind" of Yao Shun. What a poem! I don't know what the name of this poem is? β
"Huaxia Song!" Li Jiancheng made up a name for his 'chaos'.
Xu Jingzong applauded first, and the others were also infected by Li Jiancheng's poem.
"Third, please ask His Royal Highness to recruit the virtuous ministers and gentlemen of the world, such as Yang Yong's master Li Gang, who was loyal and righteous, was an auxiliary minister of the East Palace, and Yang Yong was abolished, he was not subordinate to Yang Guang, after I set Ding Guanzhong, the saint awarded him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he refused, as long as His Royal Highness can invite him to be the prince and the prince, just like Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty invited to Shangshan Sihao. His Highness stands on the edge of morality, and anyone who is unfavorable to His Highness will be spurned by morality. "As soon as he heard Li Gang's name, Li Jiancheng was shocked, because Li Gang was known as the prince killer of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he had taught three princes, but two were killed and one was deposed. Du Ruhui didn't see Li Jiancheng's thoughts.
"Your Royal Highness, that Li Gang and the minister's grandfather had a 'friendship', and the minister is willing to go on behalf of His Royal Highness and hire Li Gang." Fang Xuanling also said:
"Your Royal Highness, when my father was alive, he once said that Li Gang was a loyal minister and gentleman in the world, and the minister was willing to go with Brother Ruhan to hire Li Gang." Seeing that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui valued Li Gang so much, Li Jiancheng felt that Li Gang must have his superiority.
"Then there are two virtuous brothers."
"Entrusted by His Royal Highness, the minister will not give up!"
"The minister also has a fourth trick, that is, to collect evidence of Li Shimin's brutality, as far as the minister knows, Li Shimin used the 'treacherous' trick to assassinate General Song Laosheng when attacking Huoyi, and promised the Turks to kill the people and rob the 'women' and 'women' when he conquered Lanzhou. Please send people to publicize it more to prove Li Shimin's unkindness. When everyone heard this, they all said in their hearts - this is poison! But Li Jiancheng was wondering in his heart whether Xu Jingzong was also from the later generations, and some of Li Shimin's subordinates may also be from the same future generations as me, especially the method of using public opinion to slander opponents. However, this thought flashed, and Li Jiancheng had other thoughts about Xu Jingzong.
In a teahouse in Chang'an, the teahouse was singing the lyrics of King Qin's great destruction of the enemy army and killing the enemy, and suddenly, a strong man 'interjected' and said:
"Yes! His Royal Highness the King of Qin is very heroic, but if it were not for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stabilize the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, how could there be the achievements of the King of Qin, and when the King of Qin was defeated for the first time, how many twists and turns did the Manchu Dynasty participate in the King of Qin, it was the Prince who stopped him, and it was the Prince who came forward to protect the Second Western Expedition of the King of Qin. In my opinion, the real hero should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As soon as the people in the teahouse were told by him, their attention was immediately attracted by him.
"Oh! Dude, you know the prince very well! β
"Of course, there is a relative in the prince's East Palace who has been on an errand and once 'served' His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to appease the people in Guanzhong, couldn't sleep at night, and his head turned white all night."
"Haha! Brother, you lied, it was Wu Zixu who was white-headed that night, how did it get to the prince's head. That person was robbed of white by others, and his face was red with anger.
"Hey! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son, which is like the King of Qin, my brother died in the city of Lanzhou, and was made into a city wall by Xue Ju, and the bones of the 'got' are gone, my old mother's eyes are blind from crying, and finally before he dies, he still shouts my brother's name, and he can't close his eyes! Listening to the words of the strong man, the people present were quiet, the fiasco half a year ago, almost everyone in Guanzhong wore filial piety, and the Jia family cried and mourned.
"Humph! You are slandering the King of Qin, slandering the people, and insulting the royal family, and I will teach you a lesson today. β
"Humph! What I said is true, I think you are the dog of the Qin Palace, and today the miscellaneous family will teach you a lesson! After speaking, the two were about to start when they disagreed, but they were stopped by the officers and soldiers looking for the city. But outside of Chang'an, it was different, and there were often people fighting because of the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin, and even people were injured and killed. It's just that when the government at all levels wants to track down, there will always be someone on top who either guarantees or the murderer escapes without a trace. Chang'an Imperial Palace - Li Yuan and Pei Lin are playing chess:
"Your Majesty, the minister recently received a report from Chang'an and dozens of surrounding counties, saying that there are often people fighting because of the merit dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin, and your majesty should take any measures." Li Yuan put a son in one place.
"Let's just let the prince and King Qin make trouble! As the saying goes, life is like chess, and if they can't even solve this challenge, it will be useless. β
"But γγγγγ"
"Pei Aiqing! No matter how hard they fight, they can't escape this chessboard. "Pei Lin thought in his heart - 'Your Majesty, can you really control the overall situation?'
