Chapter 437: The Controversy over the Guidance of Public Opinion (II)
7576
Although he was taken aback by the scene depicted by Li Zhen, he thought about it and saw something wrong, frowned lightly and said: Although His Royal Highness's words are reasonable, but now my Tang Dynasty is strong and Xue Yantuo is weak, and its national strength is far less than that of the Turkic Jieli Khan.
Hehe, it is said that the eldest grandson Lao'er is half a bucket of water on the military strategy, and it is true, hehe, if people are going to die of thirst, even if it is wine in front of them, then they have to pour it into their stomachs, I don't understand such a simple truth, it is bad enough! Li Zhen viciously despised the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart, but his face was full of prudence: Lord Situ doesn't know, this palace has fought with the two sons of Xue Yantuo Khan, Bazhuo and Dadu, among them, Bazhuo is violent, although he is a son-in-law, but he is not the material of the monarch, and Dadu set his people are cunning and stoic, ambitious, not willing to live under the people, Yi Nan is still there, these two can still get along, once Yi Nan is dead, the war will start, although the strength of the two sides is similar, but according to the expectations of the palace, Ba Zhuo is by no means the opponent of Dadu, This victor must be generous, the grassland after the war will be mournful all over the wilderness, the people have nothing to eat, with the wolf nature of the nomads, it will take plundering as the way to get out of trouble, the only one who can plunder, only my Tang Ear around, at that time, if I am unprepared, then the war disaster will come.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji is half a bucket of water in military strategy, he is extremely proficient in political strategy, and when he heard Li Zhen's words, although he believed in it, he did not express his position immediately, but after muttering for a long time, he frowned and said: What is the ruling of the saint?
The eldest grandson Wuji's words are interesting not to ask Li Zhen what he thinks, but to ask Li Shimin how to decide, this is clear, what you Li Zhen thinks His eldest grandson Wuji doesn't care at all, he only listens to Li Shimin's instructions, Li Zhen can naturally hear the meaning of these words, but he is too lazy to care, frowned, and said with a bitter face: My father is deeply worried, and now Goguryeo Xiaokou is rampant, and it is not enough to promote the prestige of our country if it is not conquest, but the northwest cannot be lost, so the palace is specially ordered to plan the northwest affairs, and the father decided to conquer Goguryeo in person, The palace is really frightened, and I implore the eldest grandson Situ to enter the emperor's father, suspend the Northern Expedition, and first settle the northwest, I don't know what the eldest grandson Situ wants?
What do you think? What else? The eldest grandson Wuji has not persuaded Li Shimin, not only him, but the three prime ministers have persuaded him, but he has said a few good things, but there is no effect at all, Li Shimin just insists on pro-conquest, how can the eldest grandson Wuji have anything to say, at this time, seeing Li Zhen kicking the ball over, the eldest grandson Wuji felt bitter in his heart, but it was not good to bring it to his face, so he could only groan: The old minister did his best.
Yes, that's what you've been waiting for! How could Li Zhen not know that the eldest grandson Wuji's words were just clichés, and there was no sincerity at all, but Li Zhen originally didn't plan to ask the eldest grandson Wuji to come forward to persuade Li Shimin, what he wanted was that the eldest grandson Wuji would not collude with the gang of brothers to put himself on the stove, and now that the words have been spoken, the eldest grandson Wuji can't pretend not to know, for Li Zhen, this matter of guiding public opinion is done, and he doesn't want to have too much to do with the eldest grandson Wuji, so he got up, With a sincere face, he bowed slightly and said: In this case, please ask Lord Situ, there are still things to do in this palace, so I won't bother much, farewell, Lord Situ, please stay. As soon as the words fell, he didn't give the eldest grandson Wuji a chance to say anything, turned around, and went straight out of the hall surrounded by the eunuchs who were close to him, and were accompanied by the eldest grandson's family out of the eldest grandson's mansion, and got into the car and went back to the East Palace.
Li Zhen came and went very chicly, but it made the eldest grandson Wuji depressed enough, after sending Li Zhen away, the eldest grandson Wuji waved away the subordinates, sat in the hall sullenly, and after pondering for a while, he glanced at the silent Cui Ze and spit out two words: How?
Cui Ze is an awakened person, although the eldest grandson Wuji did not specify what he was asking, but Cui Ze had a lot of money in his heart, and said with a smile indifferently: Uncle Mingjian, the little nephew thinks that His Royal Highness the Prince's move is to express his position.
Oh? How so? The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyebrows and asked noncommittally.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is clever, and he is impressed. Cui Ze first sighed with emotion, and when he saw the eldest grandson Wuji's eyelids jumping, he put away his emotion, bowed slightly and said: Uncle Shi, the little nephew thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have seen through the situation set up by His Majesty, and this time he came to the Uncle's Mansion in a dignified manner, which is to express his attitude, and there are three states he has indicated: First, His Majesty's situation is to see whether the princes can endure each other for the country, obviously, Your Majesty is afraid that you will be disappointed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit Uncle Shi this time, which is intended to inform His Majesty that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is acting out of public heart, There is no ulterior motive; Second, His Majesty wanted to match the old gap between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Uncle Shi on this matter, and His Royal Highness also knew it in his heart, so he had this coming, His Royal Highness had already said that he would like to ask Uncle Shi, it was to see how Uncle Shi responded, as for the third, the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not avoid people's eyes and ears here, because he was prepared, whether Uncle Shi helped or not, His Royal Highness the Prince was already invincible, and he was not afraid of it. This is all speculation of the little nephew, and he doesn't dare to say it accurately, so he asks Uncle Shi to investigate it in detail.
Well. The eldest grandson Wuji did not comment on Cui Ze's analysis, but just snorted noncommittally, his face was so plain, but the glimmer of light in his eyes could not escape Cui Ze's observation, but Cui Ze was very awake and did not say anything to ask about the decision of the eldest grandson Wuji, but silently picked up the tea bowl and pretended to drink tea, and the hall was quiet for a while.
The eldest grandson Wuji has been with many years of experience, and he is very experienced, and he naturally knows what Cui Ze said, and he knows that Li Zhen actually has another intention to come this time, that is, Li Zhen has made it clear that he wants the eldest grandson family to have a showdown, either standing on the side of the East Palace, or standing on the side of the kings If the East Palace is on the side, according to the attitude shown by Li Zhen, although the glory of the eldest grandson family can still be in the future, but the power may not be as brilliant as it is now, to the side of the kings, that means that war with the East Palace will be declared from now on, There is little room for compromise between the two sides. This matter came too suddenly, and suddenly the eldest grandson Wuji felt very caught off guard and now Li Zhen has just entered the East Palace, it can be said that his foothold is not stable, which is so urgent to reveal the meaning of reshuffling the political situation, it is really too weird, the eldest grandson Wuji thought about it and didn't understand what Li Zhen dared to do so, and vaguely felt that Li Zhen came to such a hand at this time, and was a little bluffing, but when he thought of Li Zhen's ruthless tricks, the eldest grandson Wuji really shuddered, It's hard to decide for a while.
What Zi Zhan said is reasonable, and the old man also thinks so, but how to deal with the current situation? The eldest grandson Wuji pondered for a long time, but it was still difficult to make up his mind, he reached out and flicked the armrest on the side of the chair, and asked in a calm voice.
Obedient and listening, with Cui Ze's IQ, he could hear that the eldest grandson Wuji really couldn't make up his mind this time, but Cui Ze didn't rush to answer, just smiled, and didn't say that a good strategist should be clear about all kinds of possibilities, as for any choice, it is not up to the strategist to decide, this matter is obviously related to the position of the eldest grandson family, and how can an outsider like Cui Ze be the master.
Well? The eldest grandson Wuji waited for a while, but he didn't see Cui Ze speak, so he was stunned for a moment, and laughed to himself: Zizhan doesn't have to say anything, but it doesn't hurt to say something.
Since Uncle Shi was willing to listen, the little nephew said yes. Cui Ze sat down on the ground and arched his hand: Now the way, the only quiet word ear, is the so-called static braking, does Uncle Shi think so?
Static braking? Eldest Sun Wuji muttered unconsciously, his brows tightened, and he fell into deep thought again
Conspiracy needs strength to support, no matter whether Li Zhen is bluffing or pretending to be a posture, and now Li Zhen is already full-fledged, his subordinates are full of talents, there is no shortage of civil officials and military generals, and he has such a righteous name as the prince in his hands, as long as he does not make a big mistake, ascending to the throne is an unstoppable trend, the only place that may go wrong is the old man's suspicion that the emperor is strong, and the prince is also strong, and a mountain is bound to be difficult to accommodate two tigers, how can there be two days in one day? If it is replaced by someone else to be the emperor, it is the only choice to ensure that the prince does not lose, but Li Shimin is not a bystander, as he gets older, but Li Shimin's eyes are really intolerable for others to mix sand with conspiracy and tricks, and Li Shimin's eyes are really not allowed to be mixed with sand by others, so if Li Zhen really pretends to shrink his head as a turtle in trouble, not only can he not eliminate Li Shimin's suspicion, but it will be a little heavier, and it is precisely because he has thought through this that Li Zhen dares to face the situation laid out by Li Shimin with a dignified and upright teacher. This is also the reason why Li Zhen dared to take advantage of the situation to persecute the eldest grandson Wuji, of course, Li Zhen didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji to support himself unreservedly, what he wanted was just to let the eldest grandson Wuji be jealous, so as not to completely fall to the side of the kings, as for this time to guide public opinion war, Li Zhen never bet on the eldest grandson Wuji at all, and there were other people who stabilized the Jingzhao family. Sticking to the curtain of the car, he whispered: Your Highness, the father and son of the Du family have arrived, please show your Highness.
Got it. Li Zhen responded quietly, got out of the carriage supported by the personal little eunuch, marched into the palace gate, and walked to the Xiande Palace, although his face was very calm, but he couldn't help but be a little excited in his heart, there is no doubt that the Du family is the chess piece of the big family that Li Zhen pulled together to calm down Jingzhao, and the Du family is a big family, but it is not as dazzling as the eldest grandson family, although the forces in the court and the opposition are not small, but they lack banner figures, even Du Xuandao, who has the highest official position, is just a counselor, How can it not match the reputation of the Du family, how can the Du family, which has always been brilliant, not want to rise again, Li Shimin promoted a Du Zhengxin before, which is considered to have made the Du family see some hope, but hope is just hope, and it is still far from realization, for the Du family, it is obviously unrealistic to completely pin all their hopes on Li Shimin's promotion, eggs, they have to be put in different baskets to be safe, isn't it? Obviously, Li Zhen is a basket of insurance in the eyes of the Du family, and it is worth investing again.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! With the sound of a shrill eunuch's voice, Du Xuandao's father and son, who were originally sitting in the hall with their eyes closed, jumped up in a hurry, hurriedly tidied up their clothes, retreated to the side, bowed down, and waited for Li Zhen's arrival with bated breath.
The old minister Du Xuandao has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. As soon as he saw the burly Li Zhen marching into the hall, Du Xuandao hurriedly walked a few steps, rushed forward, and respectfully saluted.
Li Zhen's eyes swept over Du Xuandao's father and son, but he didn't speak immediately, but strode to the top and sat down, and then said slowly: Du Aiqing is exempt, come here, take a seat.
Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's good for the old minister to stand, just stand. Du Xuandao came this time, since someone in the East Palace said through the past, I thought that Li Zhen would definitely greet him, but I didn't expect Li Zhen to be lukewarm, and I couldn't bear it in my heart, and then I thought that a few things had not been eliminated, and my heart immediately couldn't live in peace, but fortunately, Du Xuandao was deep in the city, but he didn't bring it to his face.
Du Gong doesn't have to be like this, there are no outsiders here, just sit down. Li Zhen smiled, raised her hand weakly, and said politely.
Du Xuandao is a fine person, and he can hear that Li Zhen's words are hidden, and his heart moves, and he doesn't break it, and he bows down with a smile and says: Thank you, Your Highness, for sitting. Lifting the hem of his robe, he turned slightly to the side and sat down.
Oh? Isn't this Brother Du Ping? Li Zhen waited until Du Xuandao sat down, and then it was as if he suddenly saw Du Ping, and said hello with a smile.
Jingzhao Du Jia Du Ping has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Behind Du Pingyuan's father, as soon as he heard Li Zhen greet him, he hurriedly stood up and saluted Li Zhen again.
Li Zhen pretended to be very appreciative, looked at Du Ping with a smile, and said with a smile: No need to be polite, this palace has long heard that Brother Du is talented, poetry and writing, young and promising, good, good.
Du Ping, as a child of a family, is not bad at cultivating himself, at this time, listening to Li Zhen's praise, he did not get carried away, but just bowed down and replied: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation, and his ability in his later life is not as good as His Royal Highness's, ashamed, ashamed.
Oh? Hahaha Li Zhen laughed when she heard this, and laughed very happily, but Du Ping was at a loss for a while, and she didn't know what Li Zhen was laughing at, although her body was still bowing, but her eyes unconsciously looked at the old father beside her, revealing an inquiring look, Du Xuandao didn't know why Li Zhen was so happy, and when he saw that the young son was a little flustered, he hurriedly made a look, and signaled Du to wait for Li Zhen's instructions.
Li Zhen saw the eyebrows of the Du family's father and son, but he didn't say much, and after laughing for a while, he suddenly asked: Brother Du Ping is too modest, well, the main side of the palace is in the East Palace, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, if Brother Du Ping does not give up, is he willing to give up to the post of washing horses?
The prince washes the horse is a high-ranking official from the five products, belongs to the East Palace Canonical Bureau, is in charge of the official in charge of the classics, the position is noble, and the non-prince's henchmen can not be appointed, when this position, are all famous people for a while, the famous minister Wei Zheng has served in this position at the beginning, and it is far from enough to serve in this position with Du Ping's identity and reputation, Li Zhen's words fell, not only Du Ping, but also Du Xuandao was also moved, and for a while the father and son were a little at a loss.
Du Xuandao brought Du Ping here this time, in order to stuff Du Ping's egg into Li Zhen's basket, but he never thought that Li Zhen would give Du Ping such an important position in the East Palace.
Not good? It's no wonder if it's not good! Li Zhen couldn't see that Du Xuandao's words were just fake politeness, so he laughed, shook his hand and said: There is nothing bad, since ancient times, heroes have been young people, and Du Ping's brother's talent can be trusted by this palace, so the matter is decided.
This Du Xuandao pretended to be stunned, and then quickly came back to his senses, looked sideways at Du Ping, who was carried away by the good news, and said excitedly: Ping'er, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince soon.
Du Ping is worthy of being the Chu Qiao generation among the children of the family, although he was stunned by the big pie that fell from the world, but after his father mentioned it, he immediately reacted, and bowed to the ground busily, and said very sincerely: Weichen must be loyal to his duties and live up to His Royal Highness's love.
Well, that's fine. Li Zhen raised her hand with a smile, signaling that Du Ping didn't need to be polite, but his eyes swept to Du Xuandao.
Du Xuandao has been an old fox for many years, how could he not know what Li Zhen's intentions are when he looks at such a thing, but this matter can be understood and cannot be spoken, Du Xuandao will not say anything, but nod his head heavily, indicating that he knows how to operate.
Hehe, there is no one in the world who can't be bought, and the old fox is also valuable! Li Zhen saw Du Xuandao nodded, she was in a very happy mood, and just wanted to say another word of comfort, when she suddenly saw Salanyini rushing over from outside the court, her face was very anxious, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and she didn't care about pulling more with the Du family father and son, got up, and walked forward in a few big steps.
Ini, what happened, why are you so panicked? Li Zhen was very distressed when she saw that Saranyini was panting, so she hurriedly held Saranyini's shoulders and hurriedly asked.
Your Highness, Your Highness, you want to give birth, give birth to Saranyini was panting, and she was in a hurry to speak, her words were slurred, and she could hear Li Zhen's confusion.
Bear? What happened to Hongu? Li Zhen scratched her head and looked at Saranyini suspiciously.
Ah, no, it's Sister Yan and Sister Yue who are going to give birth, go ahead. Saranyini gasped a few times, and finally finished speaking.
Eh, why did they all come together? Li Zhen knew that the two concubines were about to give birth, but she didn't expect that they would get together today, and she was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to her senses, she couldn't care about much, and even forgot to greet the Du family's father and son
