Chapter 55. Fate (II).

"Silver Princess, Silver Princess, you're really back"

Tian Yuan stared closely at the young official of Shangyuan City, who was more handsome and more beautiful than a woman, with an excited expression and a little dazed, muttering to himself, not knowing that he had such a gaffe, and he had completely lost his former demeanor. [No pop-up novel network]

And seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been steady and deep, would behave like this, all the civil and military forces in Shangyuan City were also stunned, and some people with dark psychology saw that the official had a handsome face and a beautiful temperament like a woman, and they were already secretly guessing in their hearts, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually likes men?

A close guard under the prince's door, seeing such a scene, was also puzzled, but he also felt that it was inappropriate, regardless of the gaffe, coughed lightly again and again.

Under the reminder of his cronies, Tahara finally discovered the gaffe of his behavior, after all, he had been cultivated in the court since he was a child, and his expression had returned to normal in an instant, but after taking a deep look at the handsome official again, he did not make any other movements, turned around and got into the sedan chair and left, his expression was natural and calm-as if everything before had not happened at all.

…………

In any era, when the officials came to inspect the place, the procedure was about the same.

Although Prince Tian Yuan put all the civil and military officials of Shangyuan City together, it was a "micro service private visit", and it was a "dismount", and Liu Xingzhi and others were frightened, but after all the misunderstandings were explained clearly, Prince Tian Yuan has become quite amiable, for the officials of Shangyuan City, regardless of the size of the official rank, they are all personally asked and praised, and Liu Xingzhi and others reported the official affairs of Shangyuan City, and they also praised Prince Tian Yuan for his wisdom and martial arts, wisdom and intelligence, and he will be the king of peace in the future. The next reception banquet, although the monarch and the minister are different, is also a joy for the guests and the host.

After all the courtesies and hospitality were over, it was getting late, and the prince Tian Yuan dismissed the officials and gentry of Shangyuan City and came to rest in the bedroom specially prepared for him.

However, as soon as he entered the room, the kind and cordial look on Tian Yuan's face that had been maintained all night was gone in an instant, and became extremely deep, his eyes were gloomy, looking at the bright moon outside the window, his expression seemed to be happy and sad, and he was not thinking about anything.

After a long time, Tian Yuan sighed deeply, although you are the prince of today and the king of the future, it is unspeakable.

"San'er ......" With Tian Yuan's call, the door was gently pushed open, and the cronies and guards who had reminded Tian Yuan with a light cough quietly lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, what do you command?" ”

"Today we are acting recklessly." Tian Yuan didn't give any orders, as if he just wanted to find someone to talk to, and muttered: "The information collected before was wrong, I thought that this Shangyuan City was full of martial arts, relying on his slight merits in the war and the identity of Xiao Zirou's cronies, not only did he not cherish the people's livelihood, pacify the people, and recuperate after the war, but instead did the act of greedy ink and be the worm of the wood, so I was going to give them a dismount and take them all, even if they were meritorious ministers in the future, they would be less imprisoned, It will inevitably make these people lose their authority, and they can also take the opportunity to reduce Xiao Mo's future forces......"

Speaking of this, Tian Yuan sighed again and continued: "But I didn't expect that the reason why they secretly transferred the grain and grass materials accumulated in Shangyuan City was actually Xiao Zirou's plan to steal beams and change pillars and secretly display warehouses to his father......

Speaking of this, although Tian Yuan praised Xiao Mo's strategy, his expression was even more depressed.

"I'll just say, Liu Xingzhi and they were originally meritorious ministers, but this time His Majesty did not summon them to the court to reward them, so it is. These people now not only have the merits of protecting the country, but also presiding over such a great plan, and it is conceivable that their authority will become heavier and heavier in the future, and even go straight to the center. Today, they have been manipulated like this by me, and if they hold a grudge in the future, they will be in trouble. The most mistaken thing is that I revealed my thoughts about Xiao Zirou in front of Liu Xingzhi today, I am afraid that at this moment, Liu Xingzhi is writing a secret letter to Xiao Zirou to report in detail. ”

The cronies and guards known as "San'er" lowered their heads and listened to the muttering of the crown prince Tian Yuan, and then said: "Your Highness don't worry, you are the current prince, your majesty in the future, today's dismount to these officials was originally for the people of the country and the country, although they were wronged because they didn't know, but no one dared to say that there was anything wrong with this, even if it was Xiao Zirou, what could it be?" Your Royal Highness has many words of leniency to them at the banquet today, how can they dare to be dissatisfied? Your Majesty was overly concerned. If you want San'er to talk about it, this matter is actually to blame Your Majesty, Xiao Zirou's plan, such a big thing, did not let Your Highness know the slightest, but made you almost lose your ugliness today, in the future, Your Majesty will know about this, I am afraid that not only will not be dissatisfied with Your Majesty, but will feel sorry for Your Majesty. ”

As a guard of the prince's mansion, this San'er dared to say that the emperor was wrong in front of the current prince, which was extremely bold, but because he spoke according to the mind of the prince Tian Yuan, the prince Tian Yuan not only did not blame, but slightly nodded in agreement, and said: "San'er, you have been with the prince all these years, and you can be said to be the most confidant of the prince, and you know the mind of the prince." I want to deal with Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng, I want to reduce their authority and damage their prestige, but I don't have any dislike or dissatisfaction with them, these two people are talented, they are both capable ministers in the future, and they can be used by me, which is the blessing of the world. But I don't like my father to correct their names early, and now I am still the crown prince, so I have designated these two people as my auxiliary ministers after X, and today, the Manchu Dynasty, who doesn't know that Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng will definitely be able to be called prime ministers in the future? Therefore, there are many people who want to cling to the two of them, so after a hundred years of operation after the father and emperor, how huge will the power of these two people be? I'm afraid it's even worse than today's Zhang Qian and Wang Han. At that time, what will it be like for me to ascend the throne as an emperor? In a court where the power of the vassals is greater than the imperial power, if you want to make a difference but are restrained everywhere, is the emperor still an emperor? I have read all over the history books, from ancient times to the present, once the power of the ministers is greater than the imperial power, which dynasty and which generation can end well? Wang Mang's training is vivid. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Yuan's face was full of helplessness and sadness: "Since my father and emperor took power, he didn't like government affairs, and divided the power of the emperor among the ministers, and finally raised Zhang Qian and Wang Han in the court, not counting the two powerful ministers, but he also wanted to cultivate a pair of powerful ministers for me, saying that the arch is ruled by the arch, and what is the combination of the monarch and the minister...... But when did you ask me what I mean? As an emperor, he should have the constitution of heaven in his mouth, follow the law, all dynasties, and the world is under great rule, but his father is the last to die. ”

Seeing that Tian Yuan is obviously the Son of Heaven, but his face is full of sadness and helplessness at this moment, as a close confidant, San'er can't bear it in his heart, and said with relief: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, you are the crown prince, as long as you don't lose your morality, you will definitely be able to ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, once the name is right, no one will dare to disobey you." I have the ancestral system, civil and military affairs are irrelevant, civil ministers are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, military generals have no right to lead troops, military power has always been in the hands of the emperors of previous dynasties, even if His Majesty does not like government affairs now, such authority has never been let go of the slightest. And Xiao Mo Zhang Yansheng returned to the dynasty after this scripture, I am afraid that in the future, he will be limited to Wenzhi, and there will be no chance to lead the army, and Your Highness, you have military power in hand, how can Xiao Zirou and Zhang Yansheng have great authority in the future? ”

Tian Yuan shook his head and said: "During the Taiping period, the civil rule suppressed the military affairs, and the civil power was too large, so the military power was naturally dependent, and my ancestral system was good, but it was of little use to the ministers with too much authority, after all, the soldiers' food, drink, money, and food had to go through their hands, as long as they had such ideas, how could the military power not be controlled?" In fact, now Zhang Qian and Wang Han have some influence on the 300,000 forbidden troops near the capital, and if this situation develops, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, these two people are already old, and they only know how to compete for power with each other, and they can be regarded as loyal to His Majesty. But Xiao Mo and Zhang Yansheng are different, the two of them have gotten along quite well since they met, and there is the possibility of mutual cooperation, and if this development continues, their forces under their doors in the future will inevitably be even greater than today's Zhang Qian Wang Han, and it is precisely because of this that I want to reduce it before the power is completed, and take precautions...... It's a pity that my father trusts them too much, and he trusts the ancestral system too much in the control of military power, and he just can't listen to what I say......"

San'er heard this, but also sighed, followed the prince for a long time, for the current majesty, San'er is also very dissatisfied, after Emperor Chu Ling set up Tian Yuan as the prince, he let Tian Yuan live in the prince's mansion, follow Zhu Hongru everyone to learn the way to govern the country for the king, let Tian Yuan start at the age of ten, until the age of thirty-three, but there is no authority over the prince, until in recent years, the situation has improved, because of the development too late, the power of the prince Tian Yuan's disciples, even far inferior to Zhang Qian Wang Han, who is a courtier, Such a prince has some pockets in front of him, and as a close confidant of the prince, he will also be dissatisfied.

It's a pity that although he is dissatisfied, San'er is just a guard after all, and he is not qualified to say some things, and he is not so knowledgeable.

Looking at San'er's expression, Tahara knew what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, Tahara was very clear about his father's thoughts.

It is precisely because he is the crown prince that Emperor Chu Ling will not let him participate in politics and power too early.

Because, the crown prince is the prince, but the prince is also the king, the future emperor. For ministers who want to be attached to certain forces to protect themselves, this position is in some ways more desirable than the position of the emperor.

If you are loyal to the emperor, not only will the emperor not necessarily look down on you, but you may also be excluded by other ministers, and you can only enjoy the favor of the emperor for a while.

And to take refuge in the prince, not only will not be excluded by other powerful ministers - after all, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, but also can enjoy the holy favor of the emperors of the two dynasties, and the most important thing is that he took refuge in the prince early, and when the prince ascends the throne, it is the merit of support, and he can rely on this to make steady progress.

The emperor is too majestic and distant, and the crown prince is half a monarch and half a minister, so it is actually easier to gather power.

Therefore, the kings of the past dynasties, although they were their own sons, were more oppressive than would rather give power to the courtiers than the prince to take power too early. Because no matter how great the power of a minister is, he can only be a courtier, and once the prince is powerful, it will threaten his position as emperor.

Therefore, since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family was actually forced to be helpless, who let these people who are most likely to threaten the emperor's throne are all from the royal family?

With a sigh, Tian Yuan collected the helpless grievances in his heart in the depths of his heart, he suddenly said so many words to San'er today, in addition to San'er's credible and intentional cultivation, more because such thoughts and worries have been accumulated for a long time, and he is not unhappy.

After being silent for a long time, Tian Yuan gathered his thoughts in his heart, but he had already secretly made up his mind that after returning to Beijing, he would inevitably meet Emperor Chu Ling, and tell all his thoughts and worries to the emperor.

Thinking of this, Tian Yuan sighed secretly again, ready to wave his hand to let San'er push down.

The hand was raised slightly, but Tahara remembered the purpose of his summoning Tahara, but he suddenly asked, "That person...... Have you ever found out where he is? ”

Tahara didn't say who he was referring to, but San'er was always by Tahara's side, and he knew that what Tahara was asking was the young official of Shangyuan City who they met today with a more handsome face and a woman, who had made the city as deep as Prince Tahara's gaffe, and who was called "Silver Concubine".

In fact, although Tahara did not give clear instructions, taking advantage of the reception banquet, San'er had already investigated the background of this person's origin clearly, in case Tahara asked.
