Cen Wenwen said slowly: "It's strange, but it's not strange. The three major political forces in the world - the Guanlong aristocracy, the Shandong Hao clan, and the southern Shi clan, the Guanlong aristocracy has the greatest power, but as long as the southern Shi clan unites with the Shandong Hao clan, he Guanlong nobles will absolutely not be able to resist it.

Most of his Guanlong nobles are military families, all from the military, and now my Datang has become the largest country in the world, and the surrounding countries do not surrender to my Datang, and their Guanlong nobles have lost their opportunity to make contributions. And in the court, how could he be the opponent of the alliance between my Southern Shi clan and the Shandong Hao clan?

My southern scholar clan controls the entire southern Tang Dynasty, and since ancient times, there have been many talented people in the south, and talents have emerged in endlessly; The Shandong Hao clan controls the land of Shandong and Henan, and sixty percent of the officials in the whole world come from their disciples, and most of the scholars in the whole world are also from their disciples.

If before, the eldest grandson Wuji was still caught in the battle of the court and couldn't understand it, then he was dismissed for dozens of days, he would definitely be able to understand, strategically, my southern Shi clan and Shandong Hao clan have occupied an absolute advantage, even if the Guanlong nobles presided over by the eldest grandson Wuji won one or two tactical victories, it will not be able to change the strategic disadvantage of the Guanlong nobles in any way, the outcome of the battle between the prince Chengqian and the king of Wei Li Tai must be that the prince Chengqian was pushed off the throne by the king of Wei Li Tai, This is something that no one can change. This is a gambling game in which the crown prince Chengqian and the Guanlong aristocratic group will lose, and after thinking about this, it is not difficult to explain the matter of the eldest grandson Wuji asking for immortals at this time and being happy and happy. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji asked for immortals, the situation of the crown prince Chengqian and the Guanlong nobles was difficult, the power of Li Tai, the king of Wei, the wealthy clan of Shandong, and the southern scholar clan was monstrous, and the balance of the imperial court was broken, which made many important ministers of the Tang Dynasty worried.

Morning to the rear. Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, visited Xuanling, the left servant of the Tang Dynasty.

In the hall, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng sat opposite each other.

After a short silence, Wei Zheng said to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xiang, the current situation in the imperial court, the power of King Wei is monstrous, and the crown prince is in a difficult situation, if this continues, the balance of the imperial court will inevitably be broken." Maintaining the stability of the court is the responsibility of us court officials. ”

Fang Xuanling asked, "What does Lord Wei mean?" ”

Wei Zheng replied: "Wei Zheng wants to join forces with Fang Xiang to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Maintain the stability of the DPRK situation. ”

Fang Xuanling was surprised: "Lord Wei, why do you need to be like this. Hasn't Lord Wei always supported Li Tai, the king of Wei? Now Li Tai is in the limelight and powerful, once King Wei ascends the throne, isn't Lord Wei a hundred feet ahead, go further, and enjoy glory and wealth? Why did he turn to support the prince Chengqian, who had been leaked? Now that the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan who support Wei King Li Tai are united, the crown prince Chengqian and the Guanlong nobles behind him are destined to be unable to win. Others don't understand. You and I should have figured it out. If you support Prince Chengqian at this time, that is to hit the stone with an egg, and use the mantis arm as a car. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Lord Fang, the battle for storage position. What's the contention? Is the fight over which person to put in the storage position? No, what is fighting for is an excellent prince, and what is fighting for is a prince who cares about the people and the community. This dispute between the princes and the king, in the final analysis. It's still fighting for the country's society and the people of the world. Originally, I supported Li Tai, the king of Wei, but if Li Tai, the king of Wei, really became my prince of the Tang Dynasty. That's not what I, Datang Sheji, and the people of Datang are looking forward to, but a disaster for my Datang Sheji and the people of Datang. Li Tai, the king of Wei, is talented but not virtuous, just like the former Sui tyrant Yang Guang, Li Tai, the king of Wei, will give away the Tang Dynasty that we have worked so hard for. ”

Fang Xuanling said to Wei Zheng: "What Lord Wei is worried about is also what I am worried about. I am willing to work with Lord Wei to assist the prince Chengqian, and my Datang can make a virtuous but incapable prince Chengqian become the prince, and I must not let the virtuous and talentless Wei King Li Tai become the prince. If Li Tai, the king of Wei, becomes the prince, he will be much more destructive than the crown prince Chengqian, and the harm will be much greater. ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Wei Zheng was excited. Soon Wei Zheng got up and left Fang Xuanling's mansion.

After Wei Zheng left, Fang Xuanling's second son, Fang Xuanling, looked at Fang Xuanling with incomprehension and said: "Father, as the saying goes, 'good birds choose good trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose to know the lord and do things'. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Fan Zengzhi's talent was not inferior to Zhang Liang, but it was because he mistakenly voted for Xiang Yu that he finally ended up at the end of the road and died of anger. Now that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is respected by the emperor, and has the joint support of the wealthy clans of Shandong and the Southern Shi clan, the power is monstrous, and the hundred officials are like the shadow of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, closely following the King of Wei, why does his father want to keep the crumbling prince Cheng Qian? Now the people who understand between the government and the opposition know that the battle between the crown prince Chengqian and His Royal Highness the King of Wei is bound to win, and the prince Chengqian is bound to lose. ”

Fang Xuanling said to Fang Yiai: "Yiai, ten years ago, if you said this, I would have listened to it." But now, I won't. ”

"Why?" Fang Yiai asked in surprise. "Father is the most well-deserved wise man among the ministers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Wise man?" Fang Xuanling said. "There are good and evil in the wise, but unfortunately your father is a wise man with a good heart. When I was young, my greatest wish was to be a desireless monk and serve the Buddha wholeheartedly, but then the world was in turmoil, and I could only give up my wish and come out to become an official. I have been an official for so many years, and I have never killed a person with my own hands. But for the two generations of emperors, the painting of the military machine, the feather fan waved, and thousands of heads fell to the ground. I have become the greatest butcher in the world. Whenever I win a battle, others rejoice, but my heart is filled with guilt. Among these thousands of slaughters, what hurts me the most is the scene under the Xuanwu Sect in the ninth year of Wude. The brother cut off his brother's head, and the blood soaked the palace. Although this is a last resort, although this is for the sake of the world, but my heart..."Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling burst into tears. "But because of this, it has become heavier and heavier, and I really don't want to see the bloody smell of the previous generation, and in the next generation, it will become thicker. I can't say these words, I don't dare to say them, I can only pretend to be a loyal minister all day long, shouting to defend orthodoxy and defend the prince. In fact, what I am defending is not orthodoxy, nor is it the prince, but my own heart. Do you understand? (To be continued.) )
