Chapter 539: Undercurrents are surging
The eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Empress were both raised by Gao Shilian when they were young, and they had a deep relationship with him.
Since Li Shimin's death, the power has fallen into the hands of Li Su, and the power of the eldest grandson has been suppressed.
The eldest grandson Wuji was relegated to the Western Regions, and the children of the eldest grandson's lineage basically did not occupy an important position in the court.
Li Su is too strong, although Gao Shilian is dissatisfied, he doesn't have any ideas, but if Li Su is gone, then the matter is another matter.
He believes that once Li Su has an accident, the 6-year-old prince Li Yun will not be able to control the situation in Datang, and there will be too many changes here, perhaps it is an opportunity for the eldest grandson to turn over.
After listening to Li Chunfeng's analysis, Gao Shilian thought that this was important information, and he told Li Chunfeng not to leak the news and leave himself a chance to operate.
He first thought of Changsun Wuji, so he got in touch with Changsun Wuji by telegram.
When the eldest grandson Wuji learned the news, his heart and eyes began to move.
He is very in awe of Li Su, Li Su is alive, he will be a good courtier honestly. But if Li Su died, it would be a different matter. In the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who his eldest grandson Wuji could look down on.
His first feeling was that if this was the case, he would try to support Li Zhi to ascend to the throne.
Li Zhi is his own nephew, if he can ascend to the throne, the court will be his eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji is currently in the Western Regions, and he can't reach the affairs of Chang'an. He must find a way back to Chang'an.
Lizheng Palace.
On this day, Gao Shilian came to find the eldest grandson of the Empress Dowager.
"Minister, see the Queen Mother." Gao Shilian said.
"Uncle, you're here. Excuse yourself and sit down. The eldest grandson said affectionately.
The two chatted for a while, and Gao Shilian said: "Queen Mother, Wuji sent me a telegram, saying that he is not in good health now and wants to return to Chang'an to recuperate." ”
The Empress Dowager felt a little strange, and she asked, "Why didn't my brother send me a telegram?" ”
Gao Shilian said: "You know, Wuji is a feudal official, and he can't come back without the emperor's will."
However, the emperor has not been in Chang'an recently, and he can't ask the emperor for instructions. So he wants you to talk to Wei Zheng and them, and let them ask the emperor for instructions.
But you have always been strict with yourself, and you have strictly abided by the law that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. He was worried that you wouldn't agree, so he asked me to tell you about it.
This matter is actually a family matter, he is just coming back to recuperate, if you come forward to say it, the emperor will definitely give you this face. ”
Although Empress Eldest Sun still felt that something was wrong, Eldest Sun Wuji was one of her closest people, and she couldn't help but care about him.
So, she said: "Then I'll talk to Wei Zheng and ask them to ask the emperor for instructions." ”
Soon after, Wei Zheng received a decree from the Empress Dowager of the eldest grandson, asking him to ask the emperor.
Wei Zheng was very embarrassed, so he discussed it with Li Xiaogong.
Wei Zheng said: "King Li Jun, how do you think this matter should be handled? Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence that he's coming back at this time? ”
Li Xiaogong said: "You don't care if this matter is a coincidence, now, the Queen Mother has brought it up, let us ask the emperor for instructions, I will ask you, if the emperor is here, how will he answer?" ”
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "King Jun, I understand what you mean, with the emperor's filial piety, he will definitely agree." ”
Li Xiaogong said: "Yes, since this is the case, what else is there to be embarrassed about. ”
Wei Zheng said: "I understand. Only then did I understand why the emperor so solemnly chose us to assist the government, it seems that he was prescient, and the mountain rain is coming. ”
Li Xiaogong said: "The sky can't fall, since the emperor trusts us, let's be optimistic about this Tang Dynasty for him." ”
Wei Zheng said with pride: "What the county king said is true. ”
Soon, the eldest grandson Wuji received a notice that the emperor agreed to let him go back to Chang'an to recuperate.
Gao Shilian was very happy, but he was a little confused. Isn't this good, Your Majesty? Otherwise, how dare Wei Zheng and the others call the shots?
So, he came to Li Chunfeng again to ask, Li Chunfeng thought for a while, and said with a smile: "This matter is obvious." Excuse me, will the emperor refuse the Queen Mother's request? ”
Gao Shilian nodded and said, "I understand, you can think like this, and they will naturally think of this." ”
Li Chunfeng said: "Judging from this matter, Wei Zheng and the others have lost contact with the emperor.
This shows that the emperor is either not in the Jade Void Cave, or something is wrong. ”
Gao Shilian asked, "Is that more likely?" ”
Li Chunfeng said: "The latter. If it is the former, there is a radio station now, even if the emperor is not in Yuxu Cave, then he can get in touch with Wei Zheng and them when he goes somewhere else. ”
Gao Shilian continued to ask: "What problems may arise with the emperor?" ”
Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "This matter is too big, and the poor Dao doesn't dare to say anything." He really didn't dare to guess casually, he wanted to know the emperor's safety, but it was related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty.
Gao Shilian asked without giving up: "Dao Chief, can you make it clearer?" ”
Seeing Gao Shilian's attitude, Li Chunfeng suddenly felt that he had said too much. So he refused to continue.
Li Su's condition is too important for Gao Shilian. So, he said: "Dao Chief, our friendship has always been very deep, and I will repay this matter in the future." I also hope that the Taoist will solve his doubts. ”
Li Chunfeng's heart moved, this matter may be an opportunity for himself.
So, he said: "Gao Daoyou, you just think in the direction you want. ”
These words are too learned, but they have already made Gao Shilian understand the meaning.
Gao Shilian was very happy, thanked him and left.
These days, Wei Zheng and the others have also begun to mumble in their hearts.
It had been several months since they had lost contact with the emperor, and they had only heard that the maximum number of days of retreat was 7749 days, and this had been several months, so I am afraid that it was not as simple as retreat cultivation.
Wei Zheng discussed with Li Xiaogong and decided to visit Yuxu Cave in person.
On this day, Wei Zheng and Li Xiaogong came to the Yuxu Cave, but when they arrived at the entrance of the cave, they were blocked and they were not allowed to enter.
Soon after, Cai Sha came out to meet them.
Wei Zheng said: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, may I ask what is the emperor's situation?" Now that rumors have begun to spread outside, when will the emperor be able to get out of the customs?
I also hope that the imperial concubine will tell me truthfully. ”
Cai Sha said: "Uncle Wang, Lord Wei, the emperor is in retreat now, and we can't see him." He just gave an explanation, and let you take full authority to handle government affairs until he is out of the customs. ”
Wei Zheng and Li Xiaogong didn't get the gist and had to leave.
On the way back to Chang'an, Wei Zheng said: "King Jun, it's not a way to go on like this, I don't have any bottom in my heart. What do you say you should do? ”
