"It's hard for children to understand." Fang Yiai replied honestly.

"When you indirectly killed many, many people, and your heart was soaked in blood every day. You'll get the idea. I've always defended the crown prince, but I don't want to see my brothers kill each other anymore. Fang Xuanling said sadly, and cried bitterly after speaking.

After Fang Yiai comforted Fang Xuanling, he asked, "Then my father still wants to support the prince in the future?" Together with the whole family, you want to support the prince? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "When Zhuge Kongming was dying, did he know that Adou was a dou who couldn't be supported? He's not. Doesn't he still want to take Zhuge Kongming as such? Since I have chosen to be Zhuge Kongming, I will do it to the end! I know that the prince can't help him, but I can't help it.

Besides, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is really not the right person for me to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he is talented but not virtuous, if I am asked to choose between the prince Chengqian and the king of Wei, Li Tai, I would rather choose the prince Chengqian than choose Li Tai, the king of Wei. I think that at the beginning, if the Holy Lord of Sui Wen, a generation, had been able to hand over the Great Sui to Yang Yong, the abolished prince who was virtuous but incapacitated, instead of handing it over to Yang Guang, the talented and virtuous Emperor Yang of Sui, now in this world, it may still be the world of the former Sui. The talented and virtuous Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty destroyed Jiangshan Sheji much more than the abolished prince Yang Yong. A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future. I can't help but take this as a warning.

Empress Eldest Sun's kindness to my Fang Xuanling can be described as profound. Empress Changsun has repeatedly sponsored me in front of His Majesty, and she may have given her daughter, Princess Gaoyang, to your family. And the son that Empress Changsun cares about the most is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At the beginning, His Majesty fought desperately on the battlefield, and Empress Changsun was also facing open guns and arrows from all directions in Chang'an, and the only one who accompanied Empress Changsun and suffered together with Empress Changsun was His Royal Highness the Prince. The prince is dry. In order to repay the kindness of Empress Sun, I also have to protect the crown prince Chengqian and prevent him from being hurt.

As for the family, I'm getting older, and I can't manage it so much, and in the future, it will be the widow, you and the widow who will be in charge of the Fang family. You can all have your own choices, and I can't care about that much. ”

Saying that, Fang Xuanling looked at Fang Yiai and said, "Recently, haven't you had a deep friendship with Li Tai, the king of Wei, and have a hot fight?" Not today. Do you want to be a lobbyist for Li Tai, the king of Wei, and persuade your father to support the king of Wei? ”

Fang Yiai hurriedly denied: "My son doesn't dare! How could the son be the lobbyist of the King of Wei and lobby his father? ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at Fang Xuanling meaningfully and said, "If not, then it's best." For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, I can't support him with a clear conscience. ”

In the court, with Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and a group of important ministers of the court. Support the crown prince Chengqian. The aggressive arrogance of Li Tai, the king of Wei, was suppressed, and the court gradually returned to balance.

Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the residence of Li Tai, King of Wei.

Inside the study. Li Tai, the king of Wei, was irritable at his desk, walking back and forth. Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing sat on either side of the head of Li Tai, the king of Wei.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, said angrily: "Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, they all deserve to die, they are damn old things." They have ruined the great things of this king. ”

Cen Wenwen comforted Li Tai, the king of Wei, and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to be so angry. You have the support of my Southern Shi clan and Shandong Hao clan, but the crown prince Chengqian only has the support of the nobles of Guanlong. Strategically, His Royal Highness the King of Wei occupies an absolute advantage, even if Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng support the crown prince Chengqian, how can it be? The crown prince Chengqian still couldn't get rid of the end of being pushed off the throne by His Royal Highness King Wei. This time, His Royal Highness King Wei has won, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng are so ignorant of lifting, doing the act of using the mantis arm as a car and hitting the stone with an egg, then let them do it. When His Royal Highness the King of Wei pushes the crown prince Chengqian from the position of the prince, doesn't His Royal Highness the King of Wei have the time and the energy to clean them up? ”

After listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Li Tai, the king of Wei, turned his anger into joy and said, "What Lord Cen said is reasonable. When I ascend to the position of the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I will definitely clean up Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to avenge today's revenge. ”

In Taiji Palace, after Tang Emperor Li Shimin knew that Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng supported the crown prince Chengqian, he also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Li Shimin knew in his heart that at this time, once Li Tai, the king of Wei, pushed the crown prince Chengqian down from the position of prince, he could not promote Li Zhi, the king of Jin, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty under any circumstances.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, the Shandong Hao clan and the southern Shi clan who supported the Wei king Li Tai were too powerful, and even they had to avoid their edge.

Seventy percent of the officials in the world, and eighty percent of the scholars are from the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan, and the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan also control the entire Shandong, Henan, and the entire vast area of the south, and they have to be afraid of three points.

And Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is still too young now, and his experience and prestige are still insufficient.

If the crown prince Chengqian was pushed down from the position of prince by Li Tai, the king of Wei, then he could only be forced by the situation to crown Li Tai, the talented and virtuous king of Wei, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

And Li Tai, the king of Wei, is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so he will be very dangerous. With his own understanding of Li Tai, the king of Wei, after Li Tai, the king of Wei, became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he must have set his sights on the position of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, Li Tai, the king of Wei, will definitely be able to do anything. Back then, after the talented and virtuous Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty defeated the abolished prince Yang Yong and became the prince of the Sui Dynasty, didn't he quickly kill his father, Emperor Wen of Sui, and ascend the throne? Who would dare to guarantee that Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was also talented and unvirtuous, would not be able to do the same thing?

In order to allow the crown prince to balance the Wei king Li Tai, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin decided to help a group of crown princes to carry on the cadres.

And the way he helped Prince Chengqian was to reuse one person, and that person was Prince Chengqian's father-in-law, the Duke of Luguo, Junji.

Hou Junji was originally Li Shimin's confidant, but when Li Shimin went to the Turks to form an alliance with Turki, Qibi He Li, and Yi Nan, Hou Junji was bold and reckless, intending to rebel, and was dismissed from his official position by Li Shimin, and only retained the title of Duke of Luguo, leaving Hou Junji at home.

After that, the wealthy clan of Shandong and the southern scholar clan jointly supported Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the power of the prince Chengqian was weak, Li Shimin intended to enable Hou Junji, and the result was a war with Tubo, Hou Junji had not yet fought with Songtsan Gampo, Songtsan Gampo negotiated peace with the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty married Tubo, and Tubo and the Tang Dynasty became allies.

And this time, the Tang Emperor decided to reuse Hou Junji, and he decided to give Hou Junji a heavy responsibility. That important task was to conquer Gaochang and control the Western Regions. (To be continued.) )
