Chapter 677: Clever Words
Wang Yuan's heart was pounding, and it seemed that there was something dangerous today. www.biquge.info Li Heng saw himself here, and he made a dead man who sank under the water to scare him, which should have been done on purpose. But I don't know his true intentions, maybe Li Heng is really annoyed, and he can't do it here.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that? What's the matter with this dead man? What does Your Highness mean by such words? What am I doing wrong? Wang Yuan tried his best to calm down and asked in a deep voice.
Li Heng sneered: "At this time, you are still pretending to be stupid in front of me. Who is this person, you ask? This prince will tell you. You should be familiar with this person, right, when you worked in the household department, there was a household member named Huang Ping, you should remember it. The man in the water is that Huang Ping. ”
Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the image of a fat man who always smiled and spoke softly appeared in his mind. Of course Wang Yuan knew this Huang Ping, when Wang Yuan was serving as a waiter in the household department, this Huang Ping was one of the three foreign men in the household department. Outside the staff, it was originally the meaning of Lang officials outside the establishment. In fact, the members of the various ministries do not have any actual positions, and their power is not as great as that of the heads of the ministries under their jurisdiction. So this Huang Yuanwailang walks around every day, and his shadow can be seen everywhere. But fortunately, this person is kind and generous, and he speaks humorously, but he is not annoying. Wang Yuan has the impression that Huang Ping seems to be very close to him, and he always likes to dangle in front of him.
"Yes, the corpse has been soaked for two days, and of course you don't recognize him for what he is. This prince might as well tell this Huang Ping's true identity. He was originally a member of my Luo Yi Sect, and his duty was to find out the news in the household department. But this guy took thousands of dollars from the prince, and instead of making friends with the officials of the household department to find out the news, he took it to the prostitutes of the Baoqing Pavilion. Female, listen to music, watch dance, eat, drink and have fun. The day before yesterday, it was confirmed that he had been disloyal, and the prince ordered him to be tied up and sunk in the pool. This is the end of disobeying the orders of the prince and being disloyal to the prince. Li Heng shouted.
Wang Yuan suddenly realized that this Huang Ping's identity was actually from Luo Yimen. Then it can explain his behavior of wandering around the various departments of the household all day long, gossiping and laughing. Luo Yimen is really full of henchmen, and the household department is already a department controlled by Yang Guozhong, and it has been carefully investigated and cleaned up, but this Huang Ping is safe and sound. It can be seen that the means are high.
"Your Highness, what does Huang Ping's matter matter matter to me? Why did Your Highness scare me with Huang Ping's death. I didn't betray Your Highness. Wang Yuan said quietly.
"Do you dare to say you don't?" Li Heng spat at the stars, completely losing the demeanor of a royal nobleman, and screamed: "How did you promise when Li Fuguo went to Chengdu? You took hundreds of thousands of dollars from Prince Ben, but you didn't do anything for Prince Ben at all. Aren't you betraying this prince? Oh yes, this is not betrayal, this is teasing, this is teasing Prince Ben, it is a hundred times more serious than betrayal! ”
Wang Yuan took a step back, dodged the spitting stars that were spraying everywhere, and frowned: "It's been a long time, Your Highness is angry about this." How does Your Highness know that I am not doing my best? ”
Li Heng said angrily: "A month ago, Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu joined forces again to slander the improper terms of peace with Tubo proposed by this prince. The crown prince reasoned with Li Linfu in the court, and in the end, his father was forced to agree to the terms of the peace agreement under pressure from the two of them. If Yang Guozhong hadn't intervened, would Li Linfuyan embarrass the crown prince? The prince came out to speak in front of his father and in front of hundreds of officials, and finally ended up disgraced. My father must be dissatisfied with me in his heart, you say...... You said...... If you did something for Prince Ben, then how could Yang Guozhong still join forces with Li Linfu to deal with Prince Ben? Well? You said! ”
Li Heng pressed forward step by step, almost touching Wang Yuan's face, his slender and thin little eyes looked at Wang Yuan viciously, and his eyes erupted with anger and asked fiercely.
Wang Yuan took two more steps back, frowned, and said, "Your Highness is because of this matter, right?" His Royal Highness will be angry for the time being, and if His Highness doesn't say it, the minister will also tell His Highness about this matter. ”
"Okay, let's see how you talk about it." Li Heng shouted.
Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I don't know why you want to point out the terms of the peace agreement. Why did His Highness come forward to talk about this matter in the temple? Your Highness, can you tell me why? ”
Li Heng said coldly: "This prince wants to say it, so he said it." Besides, shouldn't the terms of the peace be blamed? Tubo was defeated, shouldn't he surrender to my Tang Dynasty? But they want to make a country of uncles and nephews. If they do not submit, they should be beaten and destroyed. My father also had a lot of complaints about this. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "I understand, it turns out that His Highness saw that His Majesty was dissatisfied with this article, and after figuring out His Majesty's thoughts, he decided to come out and speak to cater to His Majesty's thoughts, right?" ”
Li Heng opened his mouth and paused, and shouted: "Bold, how can His Royal Highness figure out the thoughts of the Emperor and Emperor without any thought?" It is a matter of the peace clause itself. ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Okay, just follow what His Highness said." So if the terms are inappropriate, why would His Majesty agree to it? Your Highness can not be said to be under pressure from the left and right prime ministers, is there anyone in the world today who dares to put pressure on Your Majesty? Your Majesty agreed to the peace agreement because this clause was proper, otherwise how could Your Majesty compromise it? ”
Li Heng frowned and said, "Are you saying that this prince has not figured out the situation, and it is not appropriate to come out to speak?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "It is certainly okay for His Highness to express his views on the government affairs, but His Highness must not make unauthorized remarks without thinking. Thou shalt not disobey His Majesty's will. It is necessary to understand the cause and effect and make appropriate judgments to advance and retreat. Of course, this is not the fault of the prince, but the fault of the advisers around you, the prince, who should come out to stop your actions against this. ”
Li Heng looked at Li Fuguo, who was standing aside, Li Fuguo's face was extremely ugly, and he said coldly: "Wang Yuan, you don't use clever words to deceive the prince and push the fault away. Yes, it was indeed my suggestion that Your Highness come out and speak, but that was also the decision made after knowing His Majesty's intentions. If Yang Guozhong hadn't come out to help Li Linfu, His Royal Highness would have fallen into the last embarrassing situation. Obviously, you took the money and didn't do anything, but now it's the blame on others. Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense, he is shirking the blame. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Li Neishi, I didn't put the blame on your head, I just talked about things." Let me tell you the truth, in fact, Yang Guozhong came out to refute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince I suggested to him, I did not do nothing, but it was precisely because I did something that Yang Guozhong came out to refute the Prince's actions. ”
"What?"
"Are you kidding?"
Li Heng and Li Fuguo both shouted in surprise. It turned out to be Wang Yuan who made Yang Guozhong jump out against him. In other words, Wang Yuan did not collect money and did nothing, but collected money to do things against himself. It's not about spending money to raise a useless person, it's about spending money to raise a white-eyed wolf.
"Your Highness, I hear you. This guy has collected money but came to harm our business, Your Highness, the slave and maid don't need to ask more, and ordered someone to tie up the stone and sink it directly in the pool. What do these people keep for those who eat inside and out? Li Fuguo said in a deep voice.
Li Heng frowned and hesitated, it was difficult to understand Wang Yuan's actions with his IQ and ability, but he wondered why Wang Yuan wanted to say this by himself, wasn't this self-defeating? So he wanted to hear what was going on.
"Why are you doing this? Have you completely betrayed Prince Ben? Li Heng asked coldly.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Your Highness will know after listening to my explanation that I asked Yang Zuoxiang to come out against the prince, and I did this precisely for the sake of the prince." ”
"For me? It's strange that you have such good intentions. Li Heng sneered.
Wang Yuan said: "I don't care if Your Highness can understand it or not, I think I have fulfilled my duty as a courtier." Just now I asked Your Highness why His Majesty finally agreed to the terms of the peace agreement. Your Highness did not answer me. Then I will give His Highness an answer here, that is, I, Datang, have to immediately reach a peace agreement with Tubo. As for the country of uncles and nephews, whether it belongs to my Datang Dynasty, even if it becomes a brotherly country in the end, Your Majesty will agree. ”
"Impossible? What my father values most is the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, the country of brothers, don't even think about it. Li Heng shouted categorically.
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, whether you believe it or not, in fact, Your Majesty agreed to the peace agreement, which is proof." His Royal Highness does attach importance to the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, but that depends on the specific situation. Yes, my Datang did defeat Tubo, but when the peace agreement was reached, there were less than 80,000 soldiers and horses in my Datang, and there were 200,000 Tubo soldiers and horses. In fact, we have a hard time making progress. In addition, the weather is getting colder, and the plateau land will enter winter after September, and if we do not make peace, we can only increase our troops, and in fact we are already in a dilemma at that time. ”
Li Fuguo shouted: "Nonsense, didn't you resist the attack of the 160,000 Tibetan army with 60,000 soldiers and horses? ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Li Neishi, is the general who leads the army you or me?" Did I make the decision to make the peace conference alone, or did Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, and I jointly make it? We're all on the spot, don't we know the situation better than you? You come and accuse me of talking nonsense, and you don't ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and ask Your Majesty. In that case, can you fight again? ”
Li Fuguo opened his mouth to argue, but Li Heng waved his hand to stop him, turned his head and glared at Wang Yuandao: "Let's believe that your words are true, so what does this have to do with you letting Yang Guozhong come out to refute me?" And how can you prove that what you say is for the sake of Prince Ben? ”
