When An Lushan ascended the throne lively, on the long mountain road, Wang Yuan was escorting 500 carts of grain and grass to Jinzhou. When the www.biquge.info traveled to the east of Tongzhou, Wang Yuan had already received the news that the last batch of emergency grain and grass had been delivered, and it happened to be connected to the grain and grass of the army that was saving grain, which could be described as a false alarm.

The problem of food shortage in the army has been alleviated, and Wang Yuan is not in a hurry now. It is very dangerous for grain and grass to walk on the mountain road, safety first is the king, and now every cart of grain is a treasure, Wang Yuan does not want them to overturn the valley and feed the birds.

That Feng Wang Li Heng obviously did not suffer too much, although it seems that Kong Wu is powerful, and it is said that he has practiced martial arts, but he can't bear the hardships on the road, and there are many complaints in his mouth.

On the second night of entering Bashan Shu Road, Li Heng couldn't stand it anymore, Wang Yuan deliberately put wine in the tent in order to appease his emotions, and invited Li Heng to drink and chat. Wang Yuan didn't just want to comfort him, but wanted to take this opportunity to talk to him more, so as to understand whether this person could be used as a candidate for his future nomination.

The two drank a few glasses of wine, and Feng Wang Li Heng seemed to be overwhelmed by alcohol, his face was flushed, and his tongue grew big when he spoke. Wang Yuan knew that the time had come, so he considered his words and asked carefully.

"His Royal Highness King Feng, I heard that you have the ambition to serve the country, and you have asked Your Majesty many times to let you lead the army to quell the rebellion, right?"

"Yes, my idol is Emperor Xiantaizong, and I hope to expand the territory and conquer the Quartet like him. It's a pity that my father didn't give me a chance. I begged him many times, but he wouldn't allow it. Ay! Li Heng poured down a glass of bitter wine, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Oh? With Emperor Taizong as his idol, this ambition is great. Admire, admire, admire. His Majesty may not agree because of other considerations. His Majesty is wise and wise, and naturally has his thoughts in his heart. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"Wise ......" Li Heng almost said the word 'fart', but fortunately, he didn't lose his mind, he bit the word hard, almost flashed his tongue, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat vegetables to cover up.

Wang Yuan pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows people and makes good use of them, and he has his own hills and valleys in his heart. He is not allowed to lead the army, so he naturally thinks that you are not ready. Your Majesty is still acting justly. ”

"Fair ......" Li Heng almost jumped out of her fart again. But this time he didn't hide it, and looked at Wang Yuan with a pair of drunken eyes: "Marshal Wang, you give a commentary." Everyone is his son, why is he so good to other princes? So disgusted with me? He thought I didn't know, but I could feel his perfunctory attitude towards me. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I'm afraid you drank too much." ”

"I didn't drink much, I'm telling the truth. Marshal Wang, you are a just person, and I will simply tell you about these things today. My father is a good emperor, but is he really a saint and fair? His vision wasn't as good as it was to be. Look at the people he trusts, An Lushan is the one he trusts the most, and he insisted on leading him to the soldiers and horses of the three-way festival, but the people turned around in a blink of an eye, and gave a large area of the country to others. Is this the King of Wisdom? The rumor that An Lushan was going to rebel spread for several years, and it is said that Yang Guozhong, the prime minister at that time, reminded him several times, what was the result? My father didn't listen to him at all. If you want me to say, the current situation is the responsibility of my father, if it weren't for his unknown knowledge, how could there be today's situation? ”

Wang Yuan was very surprised, he thought that this Feng Wang Ye was a straw bag, but he didn't expect that he also had some insight. An Lushan's rebellion was, in the final analysis, the responsibility of Xuanzong in his later years, who was too fortunate to have An Lushan too much trust in An Lushan and couldn't listen to others. Moreover, he was slack in the affairs of the imperial court, and indulged in the border towns to sit big without any sense of worry, which were all his problems. After An Lushan's rebellion, it was obvious that Xuanzong's prestige was not as good as before, and there were many rumors that complained and blamed him in private. But this is the first time he has heard it from his son.

"Lord Feng, you said this in front of me, teach me how to sit in peace? Let's not talk about that. ”

"Afraid of what? Isn't your Wang Yuan known as not afraid of heaven and earth? Why are you afraid of talking about these things? Don't be afraid, if something happens, I will stand up to it alone, and I will never involve you. It's a big deal that he killed him, and it's not like he didn't kill his son. He killed three in one day, and we were not his flesh and blood, but his enemies. Li Heng exclaimed with a snort of wine.

Wang Yuan looked at him quietly and said lightly: "It seems that Prince Feng has a lot of grievances in his heart, and it is okay, it is also happy to say it all." Don't worry, these words are like a dead end when they come to me, they are only in and out, and no one will know these words. ”

Li Heng picked up the wine glass, raised it to drink it dry, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid of what you said." Isn't what I'm saying true? My father is actually the most discerning. The two princes he chose were all going to rebel against him, what kind of vision do you think he has? Whoever will please him, whoever will pretend to be garlic, he will like whomever he likes, and he doesn't like a straight person like me. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's not necessarily. Didn't he ask you to come with me to the army for training this time? Maybe I have high hopes for you. ”

"High hopes? Do you believe this, Marshal Wang? What did he give to King Shou? Sealing the envoy and letting him recruit troops to quell the rebellion on his own is called high hopes. And me? He wants me to be your pawn, and he won't even hold a military position. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I wronged myself under your Marshal Wang's account, I mean, he didn't want to train me, he just wanted to drive me away, this is to hate me. When I don't know? ”

drunk and spit out the truth, Li Heng seemed to have opened the mouth of the Yellow River, and all the grievances in his heart poured out, and he was out of control. Wang Yuan nodded secretly in his heart, although Li Heng spoke bluntly and rudely, he was not stupid, and he knew his situation very well. This made him add another point to Wang Yuan's heart.

"Do you know why, after arriving in Chengdu, King Yi, King Yong, King Shou, and they revolve around their father every day? Hehe, I'm thinking about the vacant crown prince. Especially my eighteenth brother Shouwang Li Mao, who used to hide at home like a shrinking turtle and didn't go out. He didn't have the face to go out, his wife was dedicated to his father as a concubine, and he was really not a man. Now that the concubine is dead, he is alive again. That day, I saw that he brought Princess Wei into the Scattered Flower Building to talk to my father, and I almost vomited nauseously. Does he want to dedicate Webster to his father again? It's disgusting. I know he wants to be the prince the most, but anyone can be it, but I don't accept him. Phew! ”

Li Heng spat a mouthful of thick phlegm angrily, obviously extremely disdainful of Shouwang Li Mao.

Wang Yuan inadvertently got another secret, if this Li Mao is like what Li Heng said, it will be too disgraceful. However, this is what Li Heng said, I am afraid that he has added some oil and vinegar. At least as far as Wang Yuan knew, Shouwang Li Mao did not take the initiative to give Yang Yuhuan to Xuanzong, but after Xuanzong fell in love with Yang Yuhuan, Li Mao did not stop him at all, but pushed the boat down the river. But even so, this Shouwang is not a man.

"This time, if it weren't for your Marshal Wang who found out that they had misappropriated the military rations and stopped them in time, I am afraid that King Shou would have succeeded. If he becomes the crown prince, none of us brothers will want to live. I still want to thank you for this, come, I toast you. Li Heng raised his glass to toast.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Lord Feng, let's drink less wine tonight, I have to hurry tomorrow." Besides, you seem to have drunk a little too much. ”

"Tomorrow will not delay the road, you invite me to drink, how about not letting people drink enough?" Li Heng frowned.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "That's it, if you drink enough, it's a big deal to carry you in a carriage tomorrow." ”

Li Heng said: "This is like the words, good friends drink together, can you have a good time?" I have great admiration for you, you are the best among my young courtiers in the Tang Dynasty, I have always wanted to make friends with you, but I have never had the opportunity. You should be modest, and I can't associate too much with you, otherwise I will be criticized. But this time, my father asked me to put down the rebellion with you, and although I knew that it was not a good job, I also agreed to come, just because I could make friends with you. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, I have long admired the name of the prince, but I really can't be too close." ”

"Not really, how many pairs of eyes are staring?" Li Heng smacked his lips and shook his head.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Lord Wang, we are just chatting tonight, and everything will not be counted after tomorrow, so we should pass the time." ”

Li Heng looked at Wang Yuan and said, "Are you just too careful?" Didn't I say that? Whatever you push on me, that's it. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I'm going to ask a sensitive topic, you can answer if you want to, and don't answer if you don't want to." ”

"Just ask. But what I know, I will tell you. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and smiled: "What I want to ask is, in King Feng's opinion, who is the best candidate for the crown prince among the princes." You know, it's going to be on the agenda soon. The position of the crown prince has been vacant for too long. ”

Li Heng was stunned and looked at Wang Yuan and said, "If you ask me about this, I really can't answer." Establishing a prince is a matter for the court and my father, and it is really difficult for me to answer as a prince. ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "You said just now that you are not afraid of anything, why is this problem so terrible?" To be honest, in private, we ministers will ask each other what they think. ”

Li Heng scratched his head and said, "If you really want me to say it, it's not that I can't say it." But if I want to tell a lie, my heart is not happy, and if I want to tell the truth, I am a little ...... Some are not so good. ”

"I don't listen to lies, I only listen to the truth. I'm still saying the same thing, tonight's conversation will disappear tomorrow, and I don't remember, let alone pass it on. Let's just talk. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Li Heng was silent for a long time, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, I'll tell the truth." If there is anyone who is suitable to be the crown prince, in my opinion, none of them are suitable. ”

"None of them fit?" Wang Yuan looked at Li Heng in surprise.

"Yes, the twelfth brother is too greedy for wine, and the relationship between the thirteenth brother and the former prince dooms him to work in vain. The sixteenth brother is ugly, and his father doesn't like him. As for the eighteenth brother Shouwang, he doesn't seem to have any shortcomings, but in fact, he can't be the crown prince the most. If he takes the throne, we will all die at his hand. Some of the other brothers are not the material to be princes, but they will sit in the Tang Dynasty in the future, they don't know anything but eat, drink and have fun, and they have no ambitions. So, I don't think they're all suitable. Li Heng said.

Wang Yuan smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Heng and said, "Then the implication is that you are the most suitable for King Feng?" ”
