Chapter 295: Qiankun is Great (2)

Autumn is in Chang'an, the city is full of osmanthus fragrant, Wei Yuanzhong arrived at Di Renjie's mansion, and immediately said after sitting down: "It's not good." ”

"What happened?"

"I heard that the emperor held a banquet in King Yong's Mansion and invited Lai Heng, Zhang Da'an and Xue Yuanchao to accompany him."

Lai Heng is the son of the Sui Dynasty in the future, the three elder brothers and the father Lai Hu'er were killed in Yu culture and rebellion, he also has a younger brother called Laiji, Yonghui two years to worship the book Lang, because of opposition to Wu Zetian as the queen, sit Chu Suiliang degraded to Tingzhou Assassin History. He was a civilian official, he did not understand the military, he did not wear armor to fight the Turks, and he was not in the army. Lai Heng is a taciturn person, but he is old and has deep qualifications.

Zhang Da'an is the son of Zhang Gongjin, the founder of the Tang Dynasty. This is also a unique phenomenon, the founding heroes of the Tang Dynasty have many military generals, because Li Shimin said that the world is governed by literature, so the descendants are allowed to abandon the military and cultivate literature, and there are very few sons who inherit their father's business as generals.

Xue Yuanchao is even bigger, he is a disciple of the Xue family, a famous family in Hedong, and the son of Li Shimin's confidant Xue Shui. Xue Shui died of illness at the age of thirty-three, and Li Shimin once said to Fang Xuanling that if Xue Shui is here, I should deal with him with a Chinese order. In addition, there are two famous cousins, Xue Deyin, Xue Yuanjing, known as Hedong Sanfeng, collected as the eldest chick, Deyin as the cormorant, and Yuan Jing as the youngest as the chick. This Xue Yuanjing has been in charge of Hanlin for Li Shimin, and he has to be reused. Therefore, although Xue Yuanchao lost his father at an early age, in this environment, he also grew up with a golden key. At the age of nine, he was a male in Fenyin, and he was studious, Li Shimin was important, and he was promised to be the daughter of Li Yuanji and the lord of Jing County.

But it can't be thought that it is not serious, after Li Shimin's Xuanmen Wu coup, although he killed Li Yuanji and his five sons, he also blamed himself in his heart, and let his son Li Ming be Li Yuanji's stepson, and he valued Li Yuanji's daughters more than his own daughters. The selected ones are all famous people for a while, Shouchun County marries Yang Shidaozi Yang Yuzhi, and Wen'an County marries the famous minister Duan Yan. and let Xue Yuanchao be Li Zhi's crown prince, so as soon as Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was given a high position in the matter, and he was only twenty-six years old! Five years later, he was moved to Huangmen Shilang, and three years later, he was also Dongtai Shilang. When he saw that he was about to reuse, he made a fool, Li Yifu was in Lingnan, and the people were forbidden to ride horses. Then he sat in close contact with Shangguanyi's articles and went to Shanzhou. In case of pardon, it was immediately reused again, Li Zhi Hot Spring School Hunting, Zhufan Chief with a bow and arrow to accompany, Yuan Chao said that it was not a race, and it was a deep danger. Of course, this is different from the non-our race, whose hearts must be different, but Li Zhi is not annoyed, Lina. Not only that, this talent is in his early fifties, and it is the time to make great achievements, and he has recommended Ren Xigu, Gao Zhizhou, Guo Zhengyi, Wang Yifang, Meng Lizhen and others, most of whom are now relying on the court as important ministers.

Whether it is the personal relationship with Li Zhi, or the family lineage, or the influence in the court, this person is not trivial.

At present, the court has vacated a few seats for the prime minister, and at this time, the three of them were invited to Li Xian's palace as guests, and the emperor's intentions were meaningful.

Di Renjie said: "So what? ”

"You really don't know?"

"Laiheng is old and doesn't want to do much. Xue Yuanchao was a high-ranking person in the past, but in fact, he was wrong, this person had a good name, and it was not strange that he had a literary correspondence with Shangguanyi. The reason for the recall is that it is the queen of heaven who realizes that the recall can be reused. It was not easy for King Yong to reap it. It is Zhang Da'an, who has an upright personality and is easy to bewitch, depending on whether King Yong has the ability to fold this person in the palm of his hand. Di Renjie paused and said, "Wei Yushi, if you don't come, I still want to visit your house, and there is just something to discuss." ”

"What?"

"It's also about Xue Yuanchao, in fact, I've noticed it a long time ago, this person has a soft personality, and has suffered a lot, and he is easy to fall for power, and his wife and the county lord of Jing like to collect money. And it just so happens that King Yong is now getting a huge sum of money, totaling 6,000 gold. ”

"Six thousand gold? Where did he get this money from? ”

6,000 gold and nearly 50,000 yuan. Li Zhi was thrifty, but he was a little extravagant and wasteful in his later years, and his use was limited. As King Yong, it is normal to spend a few hundred yuan, but 50,000 yuan is also a huge amount of money.

"That's exactly what I'm going to say to you. In the past few years, I have asked the prince for some money, arranged manpower, and secretly monitored the movements of Ming Chongyan and Pei Yan, for fear that they would be unfavorable to the prince. Pei Yan was as the prince said, this person was unfathomable and didn't see anything. However, Ming Chongyan got some news over there, and there were other things besides his drug test. Do you know that Xu Jingzong had a loyal servant in the past, called Xu Zhong? ”

"I don't know," Wei Yuanzhong shook his head.

"This person is one of the most trusted servants under Xu Jingzong, I sent someone to investigate Xu Jingzong's case vigorously, this person happened to go to Luoyang, probably to find Ming Chongyan, or someone else, and escaped. Because it involved the face of the heavenly family back then, he dealt with it urgently and let this person go. Later, he sent someone to supervise Ming Chongyan, because he used the Chang'an clan more often, and accidentally ran into this person. Then I saw him haunt Ming Chongyan's mansion, and then went to Yangzhou. ”

"Yangzhou?"

"Well, Xu Jingzong is not in Yangzhou for the sake of cunning rabbits, but for the sake of collecting money, where to buy an industry. After Xu Jingzong fell, this property was not seized. Not only Yangzhou, but also Luoyang, there are some secret industries, including the farm, but it is not the Xu family's people who take care of it, Luoyang is a businessman named Xiao Yun. In Yangzhou, a man named Zhang Asu is dotting. I don't know what Xu Jingzong thinks, and handed over all these industries and manpower to Ming Chongyan. ”

This explanation is reasonable, otherwise Ming Chongyan has a very thin background, and when he arrives in Shenzhou, he is useless, and he does not dare to make waves.

"Later, somehow, the ranger Quan Hu collected by Xu Jingzong got the identity of my two righteous daughters and spread this matter in the capital. Ming Chongyan immediately judged that it was very bad to do this, killed people, and tried to cut off the clues. Speaking of this, he smiled proudly. Because the emperor is the prince's confidant, he has been suppressing and not moving, but in fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing. As a Dali Temple, he has the exclusive power to investigate cases, and he is very jealous of the small group, which invisibly resolves many troubles for the prince. Otherwise, in the past few years, there will be more things.

"Then, the stalker went to Yangzhou and found out one thing, Liang Jinzhu and Earth Horse operated a salt farm, you know, it was the prince's instructions. Not many people know about this person. However, soon, Zhang Asu immediately became the second person to run the salt farm, and he made a lot of money in recent years. Some time ago, when I heard that Pei Yan served as the squire of the Yellow Gate, Ming Chongyan knew that the emperor might redistribute the rights of the court, and let Zhang Asu exchange money for gold, totaling six thousand taels, and secretly transfer it to the Eastern Capital with a car to dedicate it to King Yong. King Yong hesitated for a long time before accepting it. ”

Fifty thousand coins, scattered into copper coins, are very heavy, but they can be turned into gold, but there are not many.

"Why ......" Wei Yuanzhong cut his hand.

It means that if you eat it, it is black money anyway, and it is better than putting it in Li Xian's hands.

"No, I've been thinking about this for a long time, the prince has a name, and the real power is very small. Even this name is only a good name, but the reputation is not as good as Your Majesty. This time, His Majesty intends to promote King Yong, because he is worried that the controversy of the Queen of Heaven will be loud, so that the forces of the Queen of Heaven and King Yong will restrain the prince. But what will the diva think? ”

This is easier to understand, Li Zhi gave Wu Zetian the right to restrain his son, not really want to give this country to Wu Zetian. But among Wu Zetian's sons, although the prince sometimes contradicts, in general, he is still very filial. Li Xian has always been very opposed to his mother, just like the previous prince. Li Xian had no good impression because of the tragic death of the princess, and Li Xulun was young.

In doing so, Wu Zetian was also unhappy, but Li Zhi's goal was achieved, and it was balanced in many ways. In fact, let the three of them pay for King Yong's banquet, the meaning is very clear, you support King Yong, maintain balance, and immediately let you move to the prime minister. This kind of support is not to let the three of them be staff, as long as they express their support on the surface, just like Dai Zhide and Hao Chujun support the prince. It's not very difficult, even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he doesn't care. Of course, the second son has the ability to subdue the three of them, and Li Zhi is happy to do it. has always tolerated the prince, that is, there is no good candidate in the back, which is also like opening a Dan canal, cultivating a reserve army. If Li Xian is angry, and the prince is no longer filial, he can immediately depose the prince and support Li Xian.

However, the incident at the beginning of summer had just ended, and for fear of provoking public opinion, he did not dare to make a big move.

This is the bad side of things, the good side, now that the prince and the queen have a deep contradiction, Li Zhi will transfer the contradiction by supporting Li Xian.

"I'm afraid it's the court ...... in the future," Wei Yuanzhong smiled bitterly.

It is conceivable that in this way, up to the court and down to the place, it will inevitably keep shuffling the cards in the future.

"Yes...... Therefore, King Yong thought about it for a long time, and finally accepted the money sent by Ming Chongyan, mainly because of his weak strength. With this money, he can bribe the county lord of Hejing, and it is the emperor's instruction, it is possible that he can take Xue Yuanchao under his door. Xue Yuanchao has many important ministers who have a bad relationship with the DPRK and China, and when he hears about His Majesty's wind direction, some courtiers who are eager for quick success will immediately come to defect. But in the history of Wei Yushi, King Yong is still inferior to His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness can't pass this pass, he will be the king in the future, and it will be difficult to surpass His Majesty. ”

For Li Zhi, Di Renjie's opinion is still very fair, if it weren't for his illness, His Majesty would also be a king with achievements, no less than Emperor Wenjing.

"Xue Yuanchao is weak in the end, afraid of power. If it is forced by the queen of heaven, it will inevitably defect. This person is not afraid, but there is one person who is afraid, Pei Yan. This person is unfathomable, but it is not something that King Yong can woo. Even if it is wooed, it will not be used by King Yong. Without the support of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government, others are not sorry. Even if King Yong gathers subordinates like you and me, he can only plan, and it will not be useful when it is important. "It's not pride, it's sobriety. For example, in the April dispute, Di Renjie and Wei Yuanzhong couldn't help.

"But I still don't think it's good."

"It's not good, a group of important ministers in the court are upright, so the prince's position has to be consolidated and unchanged. But Dai Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong are all old, because of constraints, the people entered by His Majesty may have some people who are eager for quick success. With a few ministers in place, the building can still be stable. As soon as several ministers left, the court was chaotic. And the diva is resourceful, you can also see the ......"

"Exactly."

"But it's not that it can't be cracked, Ming Chongyan sent gold to King Yong, which shows that he can't bear it in Shenzhou. Your Majesty is now a little better, but the root of the disease is deep, and once he falls ill, it will undoubtedly worsen again. Ming Chongyan also wanted to come out. ”

"You mean ......"

"It's a mess, it depends on whether you and I have the ability to set up a situation for the prince. Taking advantage of the fact that several ministers are alive, they will take it down in one fell swoop! "Li Shimin's ascension to the throne was precisely because of the dispute between several kings, which caused a chaotic change, and launched the Xuanwumen Revolution to ascend the throne in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Li Yuan is alive and is pressed by righteousness, and it may not be known whether Li Shimin can become the emperor in the end. But this layout is very large, so Di Renjie said the Qiankun Bureau.
