Chapter 367: The Beginning is Not the End
In the past few days, Emperor Li Shimin's heart has been extremely unhappy, whether as an emperor or as a father, he has been constantly troubled.
In the year of confusion, the sons have grown up, and when they should have shared their father's worries, now they are in constant trouble, and they are all terrible things.
Li You rebelled in Qizhou, causing turmoil in half of the country, and he had just calmed down to prepare for a good year, but there were accidents in the East Palace one after another.
First of all, Li Chengqian's so-called beating of the teacher, Li Shimin already understood clearly, even though the prince did not listen to the teachings and contradicted the prince, he did not beat him. Even Kong Yingda himself said that the fall was a misunderstanding.
originally planned to find an opportunity to correct the name of the East Palace, after all, such a thing is far from the point of abolishing the prince, as the emperor Li Shimin must maintain the face and status of his son Prince. Of course, in a way, this is also to protect his own face and the royal face.
However, I never expected that there would be waves of unsettled waves, and suddenly there would be such a scandal. The dignified prince actually had a good affair with a good man in the East Palace, and was witnessed and spread all over Chang'an.
The royal face was lost, and the image of the prince was gone, which made Li Shimin very angry.
What should I do?
This kind of thing can only be decided by oneself, and the only one who can discuss with oneself is no longer the eldest grandson. As for other ministers, even if they are close people like the eldest grandson Wuji, they can't say much. I believe they will not be involved in such a high-stakes issue.
In the peaceful and prosperous era, no courtier dared to talk too much about the position of the prince, if you are lucky, you will be from the dragon's work, and if you are unlucky, you will be wiped out, and no one dares to challenge this risk easily.
What a dilemma!
The Abolished Prince? This bold thought appeared in Li Shimin's heart, and then he quickly shook his head. Although Li Chengqian is not good, the past few years have been very bad, and he has not had such thoughts.
But at this time, the prince is really not a good thing. If the country is shaken, there will be a big mess. And although Li Chengqian is not successful, it has not yet reached the point of completely disappointing His Majesty Li Er, even if he wants to abolish the crown prince, he will not use the reason like now, it is still the same sentence, and it cannot damage the royal face.
In addition, his own series of plans will also be disrupted because of this, which Li Shimin does not want to see, so he must keep Li Chengqian for the time being.
It's hard to keep him!
Beating incident, good male style, addicted to nonsense......
When I think of this. Li Shimin felt a headache and was also very angry. How could he give birth to such a bastard son in his own heroic life?
Shame on you, do you dare to trust it to him? Li Shimin's heart is flooded with some thoughts, but there will still be a little unbearable in his heart, do you need to give him another chance? Calm down, I still have to find a way to solve the current problem.
What should I do? Although these problems are tricky, there are still ways to deal with them. The real dilemma is ......
……
Wei Zheng entered the palace, no one thought that the first person the emperor would summon at this time would be Wei Zheng, what is this going to do?
Everyone only knew that not long after Wei Zheng entered the palace, Kong Yingda came forward to clarify that he accidentally collided with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and caused the fall. The previous events were a complete misunderstanding. And apologized to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this, and pleaded guilty to the Emperor.
Zhang Xuansu also resigned as soon as possible, thinking that he had not taught the prince well, and secondly, he contradicted the prince. It is a loss of courtesy, and it is not appropriate to assist in the East Palace.
Emperor Li Shimin accepted Zhang Xuansu's resignation as soon as possible, while Kong Yingda recuperated at home. There is only one Yu Zhining left in the East Palace, and he has to go in and out of various palaces from time to time to teach other princes, which is really lacking in skills.
The prince of Donggong needs a new teacher, this is the first problem that arises in the current situation, who will it be?
Unexpectedly, at the second **** meeting, the emperor's appointment was issued, and Wei Zheng served as the crown prince to wash the horse.
Everyone knows in their hearts what kind of person Wei Zheng is, and in terms of his talent, ability, and qualifications, teaching the prince is completely qualified. It's just that Wei Zheng's temper is not very good, even if he has not been so fierce against the emperor in the past two years, the problem of being too upright still exists.
In essence, Wei Zheng, Zhang Xuansu, and Kong Yingda are all the way, let him enter the East Palace, and the prince can be convinced, can get along in harmony, and complement each other?
A great question mark was drawn in everyone's hearts, but Emperor Li Shimin seemed to be full of confidence in this, and his attitude was resolute, and he was completely in a posture of being a cadre and an arbitrary. The other ministers didn't have a chance to say anything, and they couldn't say anything.
This is the end of the matter of the crown prince beating the teacher, and as for the scandal of harmony, the royal family has taken a cold attitude. Even if it is a fact, it is just a rumor outside, and the royal family does not admit it, who dares to say it? Even those officials who wrote the book only said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drowning in nonsense and directly attacking His Royal Highness the Prince's private virtues, and they didn't dare to say it.
Therefore, Li Shimin's approach was to clean up the attendants of the East Palace, and all the excellent and happy workers who confused His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were cleared out of the East Palace, including Satisfaction.
In this way, others are not good at saying anything, and all kinds of rumors have gradually cooled down. It's not because the royal family's public relations are doing well, in fact, such a method is too simple to convince the public at all.
But everyone believed it, because His Majesty the Emperor had sent a clear signal that the Emperor was defending the Crown Prince.
The signal had been sent, and the ministers understood it, and obediently shut up, as if nothing had happened. After all, if you are against the emperor, and then offend the future emperor, you are purely looking for death, everyone is a smart person, and no one will do this.
Of course, it is impossible to act as if nothing happened, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of misconduct, how can it be left alone?
The emperor also gave punishments, such as the reward of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was cut off a lot, and he was also banned from studying in the East Palace for three months.
Relatively speaking, these triggers are insignificant, and the scandal in the East Palace, or the crisis in the East Palace, has come to an end temporarily.
But the opportunity is clear to all, this is not an end, but a beginning. Li You, the king of Qi, rebelled, and directly exposed the prince problem.
The crown prince of the East Palace behaved inappropriately like this, and his character was questioned, although His Majesty the Emperor is now defending him, it does not mean that the emperor has no opinions on him. The position of the East Palace is only temporarily stable, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, and the word that it is shaky is not alarmist.
This incident is a dangerous sign, and it is difficult to say what the future holds! All the noble ministers in Chang'an City couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts...... (To be continued.) )
