Dou Huaizhen, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, was the first to take the throne of Queen Wei, and he did not hesitate to marry Queen Wei's old and eighty old nurses who were about to lose their teeth, and they loved each other like a family; Then Empress Wei fell, and he put the old nurse Les, and immediately allegiance to Princess Taiping; Now that Princess Taiping is sick and lying in the Chengxiang Palace, he hurriedly moved closer to Queen Gao, fighting for power for Queen Gao in everything, and his loyalty was so touching that people were moved. It is worthy of being the book of the Ministry of Rites, and it educates the world with virtue.

Everyone knows that this guy is a wall, and his courtiers and colleagues still take out and ridicule his ugly things after many years, but his face is thick enough, and he is not affected by rumors and rumors at all.

However, Dou Huaizhen is not completely incapable, the veteran of the Three Dynasties has been the prime minister for many years, Ren Chaoli has been through ups and downs over the years, he has a bad reputation but has never suffered a loss, and he can't help but say that he is capable. The upper echelons all know that the "Zhen" of this guy's name is a joke, but throughout Dou Huaizhen's years, although he has changed hands several times, he has never betrayed others before they fall, and he is the prime minister, and the superior is happy to be a supporter, so why care about other people's past? At this time, the people who can afford to stabilize the situation are either slippery enough or stand in the right position, like those officials and generals in the East Palace, it is very tragic, and they will not wake up until they die.

At this time, Dou Huaizhen took the opportunity to persuade Li Chengning to tell the matter of listening to the government, and immediately curryed favor with two people, Queen Gao and Xue Chongxun, the king of Jin, both of whom were happy that Queen Gao held real power.

Dou Huaizhen obviously understands that the most powerful person in the court today is Xue Chongxun, although the authority of Nanya is still very large, but it is the power of many people combined, in terms of individual strength, in terms of birth and power, who can compete with Xue Chongxun? But Dou Huaizhen can't go to Xue Chongxun, because it's not appropriate for him to be a prime minister to get too close to the vassal king, and it's just right to go to Queen Gao, she is a person in the royal family, which is completely reasonable...... In essence, he stood on Xue Chongxun's side.

He ignored the reminder of Zuo Xiangxian and continued to persuade: "King Sui, think about it, although you have fine clothes and fine food in the princes' mansion, you are naturally not very rich, and you can't do it as you like after all. Once you ascend the throne, the world's wealth gathers in Chang'an, you want whatever you like, whether you love to feast or drink, sing and dance, no one says yours is not, what a good thing! ”

Everyone looked embarrassed, and Dou Huaizhen was really shameless, although everyone knew it, but you didn't say it so explicitly, did you?

Sure enough, Li Chengning was moved by a few words, and he hesitated a little and no longer insisted on giving way to his younger brother. After all, Dou Huaizhen is right, no matter how he lives, he is drunk and gold-obsessed, obviously the emperor's life is much better, even if he has no real power, he can still toss in the palace at will, think about how chic his father lived during his lifetime.

However, Li Chengning did not agree immediately, obviously he was not very stupid, knowing that there are many benefits to being this kind of emperor, but it is also very dangerous. No matter what you do, being in that position is the center of power, there must be risks, and Emperor Daxing didn't die innocently? In contrast, the princes' mansion is much safer, it is far away from the regime and away from the courtiers, there is nothing to do with them at all, and no one will have nothing to do to manage the garden.

Seeing that he was noncommittal, Dou Huaizhen frowned and thought for a while and said: "Since you are a filial son, you also have to think about it for Concubine Shu, as long as you ascend the throne, Concubine Shu is the queen mother of the first palace, and after a hundred years, you can be enshrined in the temple and enjoy the incense of future generations, what a glorious thing!" ”

At this time, Li Chengning was even more moved, and turned his head to look at Concubine Zhao Shu: "Mother, son-in-law, ......"

Concubine Zhao Shufei said softly: "Ning'er is already old, just do it according to your own ideas, don't worry, the queen and the ministers of the Jin Dynasty will help you, and you can rest assured." ”

Empress Gao also said: "You are the heir of the first emperor, the mourning family, and your cousin King Jin will all look to you." ”

Xue Chongxun was silent, he really didn't speak much in public, he seemed a little taciturn, he was easy to be ignored before, but now everyone attaches importance to him. Because this low-key prince has strength in his hands, the forbidden army, the staff and generals around him, and various connections are not light in the court.

When Li Chengning heard this, he bowed down and said: "Since the queen, relatives, and ministers love it so much, I will reluctantly ...... it."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, they could finally make the Li Tang court look decent, right? Dou Huaizhen said: "Let's say yes in private, you can't directly agree outside, after a while, our political hall will be persuaded to go to the table, you have to refuse the first two times, and you will only agree when you go to the table for the third time." ”

Li Chengning said: "Understood." ”

He thought for a while and then clenched his fists and said, "I'm still young......" He hurriedly covered the beard on his mouth with his sleeve, everyone was stunned, but he still maintained a serious attitude, as if he was in his early twenties and really hadn't grown up, it was a complete fact, and the scene was really a bit absurd.

Li Chengning continued: "Therefore, there are two pleas: one is to ask the queen to listen to the government, I have no experience in governing and I am not a prince before, and I can't understand everything, if there is no one to guide me, I am afraid that I will miss the state affairs and disappoint the subjects of the Tang Dynasty." If the queen does not allow it, I really can't bear it, so I implore the queen to agree; Second, the county lord of Jincheng was originally my half-sister, and all the sisters were princesses, but she was the county lord, so she was really wronged, please be among the princesses. ”

Hearing the latter one, everyone was very satisfied with Li Chengning...... Jincheng was originally with his relatives in Tibet, but was snatched back by Xue Chongxun, and the little things about the two of them are known to the world, and Li Chengning can think of Jincheng, so he naturally expresses his attitude of getting along with Xue Chongxun and harmoniously, which is very satisfying.

It's no wonder that Li Chengning loves his mother a "Ning'er", this guy is really very likable.

As for inviting the queen to listen to the government, even if Empress Gao had that thought, she couldn't agree immediately, which would give the courtiers the impression of greedy for power. Anyway, everyone likes to fake fights, and they obviously want to refuse in every possible way, which seems to be the tradition of the Han family. It's like two people going to a wine store to spend, most of the time they will compete to pay, is it really too much money to spend?

Sure enough, Empress Gao immediately refused, and said slowly: "The first emperor died, the mourning family was sad all day long, and he was not interested in state affairs, and there are so many loyal and virtuous ministers in the court to assist, you don't have to worry." ”

If the woman is powerful and counts the Han Dynasty, the Empress Lu will not speak, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was born only a hundred days after the Han Emperor succeeded the Han and Emperor as the emperor, and the queen Deng was the queen mother of the dynasty, but after all, he was young and new, and there were many inconveniences, so he ordered his brother Deng Qiu to be the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he could enter the palace with the recruitment; In the first year of Yanping, Emperor Yan died young, and Empress Dowager Deng set the Qinghe King who was less than thirteen years old as the emperor, continued to face the dynasty, and listened to the government for 16 years.

Although this form of political power is very unorthodox, there is no way to do it, but it is also well documented and barely acceptable. G
