Chapter 100: The Situation Is Compelling

Han Jian sighed, he and Su Tingxia were not on the same position. Su Tingxia was bent on revenge, and the means he used were very extreme, but he almost turned the court into a storm, and then the court turned the major events into small ones, so that the impact of the fraud case was minimized.

The fraud case was the first battle of the head-on conflict between the imperial court and the party of the Northern King. But both sides are not sure of victory, so both sides have the intention to suppress the situation, the court arrested some prisoners, and the Northern King Party appropriately abandoned the car to protect the marshal, in this first battle, the court actually faintly still has the upper hand, but also exposed their own hole cards, that is, the court is not prepared now.

However, it is not excluded that the imperial court has the intention of showing weakness, and if it is not sure of victory, it will first show weakness and paralyze the opponent, so that the Northern King Party thinks that the imperial court is nothing more than that. In any case, the fraud case will accelerate the pace of usurpation of power by the Northern Monarchy.

Originally, he didn't talk more than half a sentence, but Han Jian also knew that Su Tingxia was not a useless person who only wanted revenge, if this was the case, after the fraud case, he could just leave without going to the government to turn himself in. Su Tingxia has his own principles of doing things, at least he is very responsible, and he will personally come out to draw an end to the storm he has caused by himself.

Han Jian didn't say much, and he didn't ask which force was secretly helping Su Tingxia take revenge. The two drank a few cups together, and Su Tingxia's feelings slowly eased up, but his eyes always looked at Lin Xiaoshu, who was not far away, who was asking Lin Xiaoyun more than once.

Han Jian learned from Lin Xiaoshu and Lin Zhan that this Su Tingxia was hidden in the city, making a living by helping people write letters every day, and treating himself as an ordinary person. Even if he has hatred in his heart, he has great ambitions, in the final analysis, he is an ordinary person, with seven emotions and six desires, after he earned a lot of money for the exam, the family also married a wife for him, but after he won the champion, when he thought he was going to become famous, his life suddenly fell to the bottom, not only his parents and relatives could not be saved, but even he himself was in danger. In such a situation, he should yearn for a peaceful life.

"Mr. Su will go, but do you have anything to say?" Han Jian saw that Su Tingxia's face was full of tiredness, as if he had lost motivation for life, and couldn't help asking.

Han Jian felt that he might have taken a peek at life, and on the way, he either chose to commit suicide or be killed by the enemy, in short, Su Tingxia at this time gave him a feeling of being at dusk.

Han Jian thought that Su Tingxia would say something, but Su Tingxia was obviously preparing to bring the secret into the coffin.

"The sinners have heard that His Majesty intends to establish a prince." Su Tingxia suddenly retracted his expression and looked at Han Jiandao.

Han Jian was slightly stunned, the empress wanted to make a prince, and he only knew about it two days ago. How would a felon in a prison cell find out so quickly?

"Where did Mr. Su hear about it?" Han Jian asked.

Su Tingxia said: "In the past two days, even the old man in the cell has been talking about this matter, and it is too difficult not to be known. Could it be that it is a false rumor in the market, and it is a false thing? ”

Han Jianxin said, how could this be nothing. It is indeed a fact that the empress wants to make a crown prince. From the envoys of the Qi Dynasty who put forward the harsh conditions for the establishment of the crown prince for peace talks, to the joint petition of dozens of ministers to request the establishment of the crown prince, and now everyone knows about the trouble. Han Jian felt that there should be a promoter behind this scene to spread the matter, so that everyone in the world knew that the imperial court was going to appoint a prince.

Who's going to be the pusher?

Han Jian thought about it, and it seemed that everyone had this possibility. The establishment of the crown prince will change the situation of the court, on the one hand, it can more calm people's hearts, but on the other hand, it will make the situation develop in an uncertain direction. Everyone knows that the crown prince is not the heir of the current empress, but the brother of the empress, which will make the crown prince's position unstable and give the northern and western kings an opportunity.

It seems that the establishment of the crown prince is not conducive to the usurpation of power by the king of the north and the west, but the king of the north and the king of the west also seem to prefer to appoint the prince first, only in this way can they determine the direction of the main attack, and it will be easier to win over some parties in the court and the center to use it for them.

"It does." Han Jian said bluntly, since the matter had reached the point where everyone knew about it, Han Jian naturally had no need to hide it from Su Tingxia.

"I heard that the prince and the sixth prince are very close, this time will support the sixth prince as the prince, and in the future, he will ascend to the throne and rule the world?" Su Tingxia asked.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Su said far away, the establishment of the prince is a matter of heaven, and he is a minister with a foreign surname." Whoever His Majesty stands up, who he supports under is whom. It can't be cut off to the point of leaving the right and left courts. ”

Han Jian's answer was basically the same as the answer when he was in the photo with the empress. This is basically the "official rhetoric", although it may seem like a cliché, but on this major issue of right and wrong, he must maintain an absolutely neutral position in order to keep him alone.

Su Tingxia paused slightly, and said with a smile: "In the matter of establishing the crown prince, the sinner people think that the sixth prince is more suitable. ”

With that, Su Tingxia got up, and it was almost noon at this time. According to the rules for escorting prisoners, the escort prisoners must go on the road before noon, and the yacha must also escort the prisoners to the first stop before sunset and dusk.

Han Jian heard what Su Tingxia said, and smiled slightly, in fact, this basically coincided with his thoughts. It is not that Yang Xi, the sixth prince, is more suitable to be the crown prince, but that under the pressure of the form, it must be Yang Xi to be the prince.

In the final analysis, the empress set up the crown prince in order to meet the conditions of the Southern Qi peace talks in exchange for a relatively stable external condition, so as to solve the internal troubles that had always existed in the two kings of the West and the north. The so-called "outside must be safe first", and now the Wei Dynasty has not yet reached the time to launch a war against the Southern Qi.

After the establishment of the crown prince, according to the agreement with Nanqi, the prince will send an envoy to Nanqi to reach peace talks. This time, it's like sending a proton over, and it's hard to say when this prince will come back, and whether he can come back in the future. The reason why the Southern Qi Dynasty let the Northern Wei Dynasty establish the crown prince was to see the internal contradictions within the Northern Wei Dynasty gradually intensify, and to raise the crown prince and let the prince send an envoy, in fact, he wanted to watch the fire from the other side to watch the internal fighting of the Northern Wei Dynasty when the prince was stranded in the Southern Qi Dynasty.

As a result of the struggle, if the imperial court wins, then the Southern Qi may use the crown prince as a condition to exchange some city and strategic benefits with the Northern Wei Dynasty before releasing them. If the king of the north or the king of the west wins in this chaos, the Southern Qi has the prince of the Northern Wei Dynasty in hand, and he can also be famous for taking advantage of the chaos to send troops to the Northern Wei Dynasty to dominate the world.

In such a situation, an old and dignified third prince, and a fledgling sixth prince, who is more suitable to be the crown prince to envoy to Southern Qi? The answer is self-explanatory.

In exchange for a stable external environment, the empress had to send a younger brother over as a hostage, and if nothing else, this hostage would be Yang Xi. Because if there were some accidents in the power struggle of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yang Yu would be older and might be able to stabilize the situation, but Yang Xi just lacked the ability to stabilize the dynasty in the troubled times.
