Chapter 1265 - Another Prince Posthumously

Until he left Guo Ziyi's private house, Du Youlin was still a little depressed, and when he stepped on the stirrup, he almost stepped on the stirrup, but fortunately he saw the opportunity quickly, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

Just now, Azler was waiting outside with the guards, and he was also in charge of guarding, seeing Du Youlin's appearance, he couldn't help but be a little inexplicably surprised, secretly thinking that what Du Shiyi said to Guo Ziyi would bring such a big impact to this little Langjun! Wondering in his heart, Azler did not inquire, but just escorted the father and son to Cheng Qianli's private house according to Du Shiyi's instructions. Compared with the long stay in Guo Mansion just now, the stay time in Cheng Mansion this time is much shorter. And when Du Shiyi came out, her expression was also very relaxed.

And Du Youlin did not have the gaffe of the previous time, but after returning to the private house of Xuanyangfang, he took special care of his mount, first followed Azler to the stable, and then said in a low voice: "Cheng Dashuai said that although he was said to be the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, although he was guaranteed by his grandfather, but in the final analysis, it was still unjustifiable. ”

"Youlin, are you serious?" Azler asked in surprise and delight, and when he saw Du Youlin looking at him a little strangely, he scratched his head and said with a smile, "Don't be mistaken, I haven't thought about it." It's just that I think that instead of being far away from Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, General Fugu should serve as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu. In this way, the righteous father is the real tiger with wings! As for the Anbei Yatent City, General Li Guangbi and Li were steady and general, and it was more than enough to take over this post. More importantly, the Fugu Department has made great achievements this time, if General Fugu takes over the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, it is difficult to guarantee that no one in the Fugu Department will have different intentions. ”

Du Youlin hadn't thought of it so far-reaching, but when he heard that Azler had actually thought about all the candidates for the Hedong Jiedu envoy, he was still a little uncomfortable. After all, Cheng Qianli can be regarded as a hard worker, and this resignation is clearly caused by fear and ridicule, how can he try his best to keep it, how can he take advantage of the fire to rob? But before he could refute Azler's claim, the young man who was born in Turkic but was adopted as a righteous son by Du Shiyi smiled.

Cheng Qianli himself also knows that he does not have a very high prestige in the Hedong Army, but because he said fair words, expelled Wang Chengye on behalf of the general, and had the support of his father-in-law, he was able to be the envoy of moderation. If he is attached to this position, and his father-in-law really goes to Youyan in the future, the court will definitely try to provoke a quarrel between him and his father-in-law, after all, Hedong and Hebei are adjacent to each other, and the court needs barriers and constraints. As for the Hedong generals, they may not be willing to go against their father-in-law, and in the end he is not a human being. Rather than this, it is better to win a high-ranking official to retire, after all, he has cleared the stigma in the Western Regions for himself. ”

Du Youlin had to admit that Azler's analysis was not at all wrong, perhaps because he was too immersed in his father's story before, which made him too emotional. Although he knew that this kind of story that would obviously lead to infinite reverie should not be mentioned casually, but considering that Azler was his father's righteous son and his own brother-in-law, he couldn't help the unspeakable impulse in his heart after all, and poured out his brain to Azler.

Because he was in the position of a listener and Guo Ziyi was not there, Azler was much less affected than Du Youlin. He is the standard person who only Du Shiyi is supreme in everything, and listening to such a story without Du Shiyi at all, he can instead examine the deep meaning behind this story with the most calm bystander attitude. When Du Youlin finished speaking, he finally calmed down, and then he sneered.

In other words, in the story of the father-in-law, the Tang Dynasty finally turned from prosperity to decline, and since then there have been many feudal towns and never have peace. In comparison, the situation is much better today. If Guo Dashuai still insists on the original choice, then Shuo Fang Jiedu will also be relieved, and there will be no one. Youlin, you don't have to think too much, just be a godfather and just tell Guo Dashuai a story, that's all. The most important thing now is whether there will really be a result in the next day of re-pushing, and whether the case of the inexplicable murder of Princess Cui's mother and son in Guangping can also be revealed. Father-in-law brought you back from the palace today, there must be something else important, don't delay with me for too long. ”

can have someone to listen to him, and the depression in Du Youlin's heart has almost been relieved. He thanked Azler gratefully, and immediately walked briskly to the study. As soon as he left, Azler's nonchalant expression disappeared without a trace, replaced by a deep and gloomy one.

If in Du Shiyi's story, the crown prince who ascended the throne in Lingwu was the late Yisu prince Li Heng, then the queen who later fought with the eunuchs but lost her life was not the Yisu princess Zhang? If this is the case, then it is necessary to take advantage of the Cui family's mother and son to completely suppress and clean up the forces of the East Palace, and it is absolutely impossible to let Li Li, the king of Nanyang, succeed!

Seeing his father come out of the study, Du Youlin's face that had just become a little brighter was excited and embarrassed. Du Shiyi made it clear that he would close the door again until the relaunch three days later, so everything outside would be handed over to him. One of the most important things is not to connect with those ministers who have the power to elect, but to let him try to posthumously crown a prince! But the problem is that the Son of Heaven obviously doesn't have the ability to sign any edicts, and the intention to posthumously seal Li Ying is too strong, which makes it easy for people to think that this is paving the way for Li Shen, the king of the plains.

Zhang Jiugao only raised it before, but the matter has not yet been decided!

Riding back to the palace absentmindedly all the way, when he saw that the Daming Palace was in sight, Du Youlin suddenly had an idea. His father asked him to posthumously crown another prince, but he didn't say which prince it was! He had always been humble and forgot that this was the avenue in and out of the palace, and he actually stopped his horse in the middle of the road in a daze for a while, and then came back to his senses under the reminder of his entourage, and hurriedly rode his horse a few steps and dismounted in front of the palace gate. Ignoring the peeping eyes of the people around him, he came directly to the political hall to ask to see Pei Kuan. When he was taken to Pei Kuan's straight room by Ling Shi, he couldn't help but smile when he saw that people still had time to drink tea.

Pei Kuan asked with an unkind face: "What, do you think I'm too leisurely as the prime minister?" No matter how leisurely he is, he can't compare to your father, and he, the right minister, hasn't done a day of serious work in the political hall! ”

"The son doesn't say anything about the father, if Xiangguo complains, the father is at home, you can move to the point."

Du Youlin shot back without humility or arrogance, and when he saw Pei Kuan snorting angrily, he saluted respectfully, and then said: "I came today because I want to ask Xiangguo for something." The Sixteen Princes' Mansion has been in turmoil recently, so that Chang'an City is also in turmoil. King Rong Li Wan had just been recruited for the title of marshal and soon became violent, and the officials and people of Chang'an were all suffocated, and there was no nickname so far. Now that the rebellion has been quelled, why not posthumously present King Rong as the crown prince, following the old example of Prince Huixuan and others in the past? It's also good to calm people's hearts. ”

The so-called old example refers to Li Longji's brothers, Li Xian, the king of Ning, posthumously presented to Emperor Rang, while King Qi, King Xue, and King Shen all posthumously presented to the crown prince. But this is Li Longji's attempt to flaunt his filial piety, but for his son, he can't even agree to Li Heng's posthumous title, how can he agree to posthumously crown another Rongwang Li Wan as the crown prince? It's just that compared with Du Shiyi's original proposal to abolish the crown prince Li Ying, Li Wan is not so involved, after all, Li Wan, the king of Rong, has not been deposed from the throne, and no son has been selected for the list of re-promotions.

Therefore, after considering it, Pei Kuan finally nodded and said, "It's okay, I will ask Your Majesty for this matter, I expect Your Majesty to nod." ”

Since the imperial doctor had just delivered the news, the Son of Heaven had completely lost his voice, so judging by Pei Kuan's own standards, there was only one most pitiful sign left for the edict, that is, whether Li Longji nodded! Even if he knew that it didn't mean much, it was impossible to wait for the Son of Heaven to nod one by one, but when it came to chasing a prince, Pei Kuan still decided to take Du Youlin to Xingqing Hall for instructions, at least, he still regarded himself as a Tang courtier.

When Du Youlin, who was waiting at the gate of Xingqing Palace, nodded to himself when he saw Pei Kuan coming out, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that he had finally completed his father's entrustment.

"Your Majesty agreed." Pei Kuan said this in his mouth, but he was thinking about Li Longji's lifeless eyes and expression. It's just that when the Son of Heaven heard that Li Wan was posthumously sealed, his momentary hesitation and emotion couldn't hide his observation. Although the nod was very slight, he understood that it was indeed Li Longji's intention. But what the Son of Heaven thinks in his heart, because he can't communicate, he really doesn't know.

Since it was to eliminate the influence of the recent chaos in the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, which were all troubles, Pei Kuan's actions were very fast, and after summoning the Zhongshu Sheren to draw up the decree, he immediately sent it to the door, and when this edict was issued, it was the evening of this day, and several clans who were qualified to compete for the throne were busy seizing the time to contact the ministers when they had not yet returned home. When he learned that Li Wan, the king of Rong, was posthumously presented as the prince of Jinggong, the reactions of Li Pu, the king of Yi, and Li Li, the king of Nanyang, were all at a loss, while the brothers Li Shen, the king of the plains, and Li Li, the king of Heiqing, were sad, and Li Li, the only king of Ying who did not go out, sighed long.

On this night, in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and the Hundred Sun Courtyard, I don't know how many people didn't sleep well. Some are resentful that they have lost the qualification to repush, some are depressed and can't see the way forward, and some are glad that Rongwang Li Wan's posthumous gift came late, otherwise the sons he left behind might also jump up and down. Relatively speaking, King Rong's huge number of sons and daughters were all overjoyed, regardless of whether they had extravagant hopes for the throne or not, their father could get the posthumous gift of Prince Jinggong, and they would finally not be poked in the back, saying that they were not even as bold as the princess Cui of Guangping!

In particular, Li Zhuan, the king of Jiyin, who has not yet inherited the title of King Rong, was drafting a thanksgiving song with his younger brother Li Kai, the king of Beiping, who was a compatriot of his mother, when he remembered his father's violent night, and they all felt ashamed. If it weren't for the strange death of Li Heng's father and son, they heard that their grandfather had canonized their father as a marshal, and they were so frightened that they panicked in front of their sick father, how could Li Wan, the king of Rong, resolutely commit suicide with medicine? Speaking of which, it's all for their children!

In the end, it was Li Kai who said in a low voice: "Your Majesty posthumously crowned Grandpa as the crown prince, and now he is sitting in the real place, if this makes the officials and people of Chang'an feel that Grandpa is afraid of the rebel army, so he does not dare to take on the responsibility of recruiting the marshal, then isn't it that Grandpa is bent on dying for our children, but he is also infamous?" Or when we write a book of thanksgiving, we vaguely mention the cause of our father's death? Let's just say that my father was seriously ill, but after hearing the news of Prince Yisu's death, his heart was extremely sad, so he vomited blood and died of fear! ”

Li Qian thought that his brother had no delusions about the throne, and he did not enter the list of re-promotions, and he really felt sorry for his dead father, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”
