Chapter 286: The New Prince
"What?" Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
At this time, from the side of the main hall, Li Su, the king of Liang, walked out, only to see that he came to the front of the hundred officials in a radiant manner, with a tall posture and a handsome face like jade!
"King Liang is not dead, he is still alive!" The officials were overjoyed, and Wei Zheng and the others were even more excited to tears.
"Your Highness!" The ministers of the full hall saluted King Liang together.
The eldest grandson Wuji was dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.
The matter has to start from receiving a side report, Li Su, the king of Liang, came to see Li Shimin.
That day, Li Su felt aggrieved and was about to run away in anger. Li Shimin saw that he was emotional, and he didn't call himself his father and emperor, so he asked, "Aren't we father and son?" ”
Li Su said: "The minister is your son, but you are not my father. ”
Li Shimin heard the emotion in his words and suddenly smiled. He said: "Stinky boy, don't chirp crookedly, what's the grievance, just say it?" ”
Li Su said: "This so-called side newspaper is completely false. It's too late for Tubo and the Tang Dynasty to make friends, and it is pure nonsense to invade the Anxi Protectorate. ”
Li Su has the overseas intelligence bureau in his hands, and he can get a report on such a major event as a war, as long as there are signs of it. Where did it take their turn to come to Chang'an to report after the war had broken out, and when Su Dingfang and they had determined the situation?
As for the appearance of Su Dingfang's handwriting and seal, there are many in the Ministry of War and Zhongshu Province, and it is easy to find a master to forge it.
The person who fabricated this side newspaper wanted to let King Liang leave Chang'an. When he arrives in the Western Regions, finds out the situation, and then returns, it will take at least three months or more, and by then, everything will be settled and irretrievable.
Li Shimin smiled: "Do you think I don't know? Do you have an overseas intelligence agency? ”
"Huh?" Li Su was taken aback!
After long-term observation, Li Shimin recognized Li Su's character and talent, and he already had the idea of making Li Su the crown prince.
Li Shimin has a lot of difficulties that he needs to be cautious about.
First, Li Su is a concubine, and when he comes to take over the position of the crown prince, it is inevitable that some people will oppose it.
Second, he had to consider the feelings of the eldest grandson Empress and the eldest grandson Wuji, as well as the feelings of Li Tai and other princes.
Therefore, he carefully paved the way for Li Su. Li Ke was wronged, and Li Shimin already knew that it was the eldest grandson Wuji who did it. He pretended not to know, and took advantage of the situation to let Li Ke withdraw from the competition.
Li Tai's various despicable behaviors, he is also like a fire, but from the perspective of family affection, he also wants to save face for Li Tai. He deliberately did not expose Li Tai, but just demoted him to the king of the county, which was to take care of the face of Empress Changsun and Li Tai.
For the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin also wants to seize his handle, and then make him retreat.
Therefore, he discussed with Li Su and arranged for Li Su to leave Chang'an, giving the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Tai a chance to make a move.
After Li Su left Chang'an, he quietly returned to Chang'an halfway. As for the King Liang who was hacked to death, he was a stand-in who looked similar to King Liang, and with Yang Kang's cooperation, he was able to hide from the world.
Now, Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji are in the hands of Li Shimin. Li Shimin still did not expose them, saving them enough face in exchange for their compromise with King Liang.
Some people will think that this is not cool enough, and it should be enjoyable for Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji.
The struggle of the royal family cannot be judged by simple right or wrong. Li Tai competed for the throne, and the eldest grandson Wuji protected Li Zhi, and they dealt with King Liang, from their point of view, it was normal. If you deal with Li Shimin, it is a rebellion, and you will be killed.
Li Shimin can't dispose of them just because they dealt with King Liang, and they are also Li Shimin's relatives. The only way to do this is to compromise and balance.
Now, everything falls into place.
Li Shimin announced that Li Su, the king of Liang, was the crown prince, and a canonization ceremony was held in the prayer hall 5 days later.
Next, the Liang Wangfu held a feast to celebrate the birth of the crown prince. There was an endless stream of guests going to King Liang's mansion, and it was lively all day.
At night, it finally quieted down.
Li Ning'er said: "Brother Liang Wang, do you know, these days we are acting, and your flower water has made my eyes red." We're shedding real tears. ”
Qibi Wuyun smiled: "Husband, I pretended to have something that day, I lay down for a long time, and my stomach was really uncomfortable, and the baby kicked me hard to protest." ”
Ashina Qing said: "Brother Su, we guard a dead man every day, and we have a taste. It smells terrible. ”
Haitang said: "Your Highness, I'm sad." My father is so sad, you don't let me tell him. It's just too hard for me. ”
Wu Cong said: "Big brother, the most pitiful thing is me. They are all princesses, and I am a little daughter-in-law who has never passed through the door, so I was widowed and let others laugh at me to death. ”
Cai Sha said: "Lord Wang, you say, how should we reward our sisters?" ”
Li Su smiled: "Okay, line up." The award for Best Actress was presented. ”
The princesses immediately lined up. Li Su kissed his face and mouth one by one. When it was Wu Cong's turn, he kissed his little face, and then kissed his forehead.
Wu Cong stopped doing it, she said: "It's not fair, I want that too." After speaking, he pursed his ruddy little mouth.
Li Su smiled and kissed her on the mouth, and Wu Cong became happy.
Also in the afternoon of that day.
Cen Wen left the city and came to a wooded area on the outskirts. Three samurai, two men and one woman, were waiting for him.
These three people are the mysterious people who have helped Li Su many times.
Cen Wenwen took out a tablet from the carriage, sat north and faced south, placed it, placed the offerings, and then knelt down. Three samurai knelt behind him.
There is a line of gilded characters on a black background on the tablet, which reads: "The spiritual seat of Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty"!
Cen Wenwen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Cen Wenwen worships you on behalf of your beloved daughter Yang Yu." The memorial text is as follows: 'Beloved father, daughter Yang Yu misses you very much......"
It turned out that Cen Wenwen's father was one of the Eight Pillars of the Sui Dynasty and was very loyal to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. Cen Wenwen admired Concubine Yang when he was young, and because of Concubine Yang, he entered the Tang Dynasty to do things.
These two men and one woman are three brothers and sisters, and they are the descendants of Cen Wenwen's former generals. They have always obeyed Cen Wenwen's orders and secretly protected Li Ke and Li Su.
Cen Wenwen originally supported Li Ke, but later saw that Li Su was more promising, so he changed to support Li Ke. He didn't have any intentions, he just wanted to fulfill Concubine Yang's wishes.
After all, the Great Sui is lost, and if Li Su can become the emperor, it will also be Concubine Yang's comfort to her parents.
Liang Wangfu.
Tomorrow is the day of the canonization.
At lunchtime, someone suddenly came to the palace. The person who came was Gonggong Liu, who was beside the eldest grandson, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the queen mother is suddenly ill, please hurry into the palace to take a look." ”
