Chapter 420: Who's in Charge of the Ups and Downs (Part II)
7696
At four o'clock, although it was still dark, Li Zhen, who had been sleepless all night, got up early, played a few punches and kicks in the open space in the backyard, practiced marksmanship, and sweated all over his body, which can be regarded as calming down the irritability in his heart, and hurriedly freshened up, hurriedly used a few bowls of white porridge, and then got into the carriage and rushed to the direction of the palace.
Faced with the reality of being about to enter the East Palace, how can Li Zhen not be excited, after many years of operation and layout, isn't it all for today? This has always been the sword and sword, the battle of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, the movement between the intrigues and tricks, and now it is finally in exchange for a decisive victory, even if Li Zhen is a human being, but he can't maintain the calm of the past, of course, Li Zhen also knows that after entering the East Palace, it does not mean that the overall situation has been decided, there are still countless conspiracies and hidden arrows waiting to shoot at him Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, there is really no prince who can ascend to the throne, whether it is Li Jiancheng, the prince of the previous dynasty, or Li Chengqian and Li Zhi of the current dynasty, not to die, is to step down and linger for a long time, such a bloody experience, how can Li Zhen be careless and cautious.
Scared? Of course not! As early as the day he embarked on the road to seize the heir, Li Zhen had this mental preparation, the previous such a difficult road has been all the way over, how can Li Zhen retreat at the time of such glory, even if the front is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it will never stop Li Zhen's courage and determination to move forward, if it is destined to step on the bones of some people, then Li Zhen will definitely not be merciful, this is not only for Li Zhen himself, but also for the thousands of subordinates who follow him to charge into battle, this is the responsibility, It is also Li Zhen's fate!
Your Highness, Your Highness. I don't know when the carriage has already stopped in front of the palace, and the curtain of the carriage has already been rolled up, but I didn't see Li Zhen get down from the car, which made all the guards a little inexplicable.
Oh, got it. Li Zhen heard the sound, and only then did she wake up from her fugue state, and she responded with a loud voice, clenched her fists tightly, and then quickly let go, got out of the carriage with a huff, straightened her clothes, and strode towards the gate of the palace.
Your Highness, you are here.
Your Highness, you're early.
Your Highness
Li Zhen came relatively early, but there were many people who came earlier than Li Zhen, no, as soon as Li Zhen arrived in the open space outside the courtroom, a large group of middle and low-level officials surrounded him, talking about almost, and all his faces were full of flattering smiles.
Morning, everybody. Li Zhen had something in his heart, but Corporal Lixian's posture still did not forget to put it on, and he smiled and greeted the courtiers for a long time, and then he got out of his body and walked into the room of the Eastern Dynasty with a smile.
Starling, you're here. Li Zhen had just entered the court room, and the sharp-eyed King Ji Li Shen flew over, and greeted him with joy on his face, but before Li Zhen could reply, he saw Li Tai, the king of Wei, with a shy stomach, and came over with a smile on his face, and greeted with a smile: The eighth brother is here, Ke Keli was talking about the eighth brother before, you are here, hehe, what a coincidence.
Well? Is the sun coming out of the west? As soon as he saw Li Tai behaving like this, Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand that Li Tai was singing the play that Li Zhen and Li Tai had been fighting viciously for so many years, and they could be said to have been grudging with each other for a long time. It's just that Li Zhencheng is deep, but he didn't bring it to his face, smiled slightly, and greeted: Fourth brother, early.
Eighth brother, come, sit down and say, sit down and say. Li Tai grinned and grabbed Li Zhen's hand, and pulled Li Zhen to a row of benches by the wall without saying anything, that affectionate look, as if the two brothers were one, which made Li Zhen really uncomfortable, but he didn't say much, and gestured to the important ministers who came forward around him, and Li Tai pulled it, and at this time, Li Ke, the king of Wu, and Li Ke, the king of Shu, who were whispering by the wall, saw Li Zhen arrive, and they each looked at each other and stood up, Greeted with a smile on his face.
Eighth brother, you look good, hehe, if you miss today, you can't shout this eighth brother. Li Su said with a grin, and the sourness in his words was so strong that it was smacking.
That's, that's, hehe, the eighth brother looks good today, is this a happy event for people to be in good spirits, well, yes, fortunately, fortunately. As soon as Li Su's voice fell, Li Ke answered as if he was playing a double reed, which was also not very beautiful.
Ha, damn it, what bull ghosts/snake gods are popping up at this hour, it's really funny! At this time, how could Li Zhen not see that the brothers were playing with Li Ke to get ahead, so he naturally had to be tougher and go out with Li Zhen's posture, and Li Tai, who originally gave people the impression of domineering, began to pretend to be a grandson, and the game was naturally the strategy of the dragon diving into the abyss, as for Li Zhen, he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, he was so troubled that he fished in troubled waters, and in general, only Li Shen's enthusiasm was still a little sincere.
The third brother, the sixth brother, get up very early, hehe, everyone in the world is cloudy: the early bird has worms to eat, but the younger brother feels strange, what does the worm do when he gets up early? Interesting, interesting, hehe, left and right are acting, Li Zhen's acting skills are naturally first-class masters, which even piggybacked, and the witty tone immediately made the important ministers in the room who were pricking up their ears to listen to the bickering of several princes laughed.
As soon as Li Zhen compared the two of them to worms, Li Ke and his brothers were choked on the spot, but they really couldn't find the words to fight back for a while, and then they were laughed at by the important ministers of the court, and they were immediately a little stupid, but they really didn't take Li Zhen right, although their faces were still smiling, they clearly revealed a bitter taste.
Okay, you're a eighth brother, and you're making fun of your brother. Li Ke knew that his eloquence and eloquence were inferior to Li Zhen, and he didn't want to humiliate himself anymore, so he punched Li Zhen with a wry smile and complained half-truthfully.
How dare the little brother, the third brother is afraid that he has misunderstood, the little brother is a worm, the birds get up early, and the little brother has to come later, right? Li Zhen made a grimace and deprecated herself with a grin, but the thorn in the words was still stuck on the Li Ke brothers, and the humorous tone caused a burst of laughter in the hall, which made the Li Ke brothers even more embarrassed, but fortunately, at this time, the sound of the eunuchs shouting the court sounded outside, and everyone was busy pouring out of the courtroom, so that the Li Ke brothers avoided being beaten by Li Zhen continuously.
The last dynasty is the same old thing, there is really nothing new to say, but most of the well-informed courtiers have known that there will be a big event in the court early today, and under the high spirits, the sound of the salute is also much louder, which makes Li Shimin, who boarded the dragon chair, very surprised, but after all, Li Shimin has been the emperor for many years, and he didn't care too much, just waved his hand calmly and said: Zhong Aiqing is flat.
Long live my emperor, long live, long live! After the ministers shouted the quotations according to the routine, they got up, and before they could stand in Lisuo, they saw the figure in the civil official queue flickering, and Lin Zhengcheng, a doctor of Taixue from the country, had hurried out of the queue, but saw Lin Zhengcheng striding to the front of the hall, and saluted respectfully: Your Majesty, the minister has this chapter here: the East Palace is vacant, and the position of the prince has been vacant for a long time, and I am afraid that the country will be injured.
Lin Zhengcheng is not a person who proposes to be crowned a prince, as early as half a month ago, Xiao Yu had proposed this proposal in court, but that time Li Shimin was angry, brushed his sleeves away, and did not give Xiao Yu a good look at all, but this time it was different, Lin Zhengcheng's voice had just fallen, Li Shimin bowed his head and said: Lin Aiqing's words are reasonable, I think so, everyone Aiqing can discuss this matter, I want to hear Zhu Aiqing's opinions.
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, it could be regarded as setting the tone for today's early dynasty, although the courtiers were prepared in private, but they didn't expect that the big drama would start at the beginning of the early dynasty, and they were a little stunned for a while, and no one stood up to respond, and the hall was immediately extremely quiet.
Your Majesty, Wechen has a book. In the silence, Ye Ling, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in standing up.
Ye Ling didn't care about this time, but it was like lighting a powder keg, the ministers in the hall were surprised, and they all talked about it, and for a while the buzzing sound in the hall suddenly became loud, and the noise was as chaotic as a vegetable market, which is really no wonder the ministers were excited, all along, the Wu Wang family has always been weak in the battle for succession, most of them are beating the side drums, that is, doing some stuffy work, even if the so-called Taishan oracle appears, no one thinks that King Wu can finally win, In general, I am still optimistic about the competition between Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, but now Li Tai, who has always liked to strike first, has not moved, and Li Zhen, who is destined to be the protagonist, is also very peaceful, but the Wu Wang family, who has always played a supporting role, has taken the lead, and as soon as he comes out, he is Li Kezhi's absolute confidant, isn't this a strange thing? It is not surprising, then, that the courtiers were surprised and the voices of the chatter became a little louder.
After Li Shimin quietly let the ministers discuss blindly for a while, he snorted, pressed his hand, signaled the ministers to be quiet, and then looked at Ye Ling with great interest: Ye Aiqing has nothing to say about this chapter.
Ye Ling is the wise man of the world, he can guess the place of the holy will, and he has long understood that this time Li Zhen's entry into the East Palace is a foregone conclusion, and the fight is nothing more than the size of the power of checks and balances. But King Wu does not have this blessing, and must use the so-called checks and balances of this holy will to reap enough benefits, so as to win the largest possible stage space for the future use of means, for this reason, King Wu must show the power of checks and balances in order to be able to hope to get what he wants, which is exactly where Ye Ling's intention is to take the lead.
Wei Chen Qi played Your Majesty, and the minister thought that what Dr. Lin said was very true, and the East Palace should be established! Since ancient times, the young and the young are orderly, Wu Wang Li Ke is the eldest of the princes, and the pure virtue is the crown of the princes, the acting government affairs are no different, and the governance of the place is the situation and the people are rich, this sincerity is the pillar of the old Cheng seeking the country, and the oracle from heaven is the king of Wu, and the minister does not dare not recommend it, and is willing to ask His Majesty to make a holy decision. After Ye Ling saluted respectfully, he talked freely, but he also said the truth.
Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Ye Shilang said is ridiculous, but it is really a great rebellion to confuse right and wrong, and it should be dealt with seriously! Without waiting for Li Shimin to express his position, an official dressed in the robe of supervising the imperial history came out from the back of the queue, and regardless of it, he put the hat of the great rebellion on Ye Ling's head, and his words were so cruel that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were startled, and then looked at it, it turned out to be such a former Donggong subordinate official of Li Yifu, and he was a little inexplicable when he boarded, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with this Li Yifu, so hot, and the sound of blind discussion buzzed again for a while.
Li Yifu came out like this, Li Shimin obviously didn't expect it, he was stunned for a while, then he frowned, waved his hand and said: Why did you say this?
Li Shimin's words are a bit heavy, if the officials next to him listen to it, they are afraid that they will be weak on the spot, but Li Yifu is good, and he said with a nonchalant look: Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being rude, the ministers really can't tolerate Ye Shilang's words of bullying the king.
If you have different opinions, let's listen to them. Li Shimin didn't have any impression of Li Yifu, he just knew that there was such a petty official, and seeing that he was very bold at this time, he didn't embarrass him, but just said calmly.
Li Yifu bowed down calmly, and said with a hint of excitement: Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the prince is the foundation of the country, and he should be a virtuous and virtuous person, and now Li Zhenwen, the king of Yue, has the talent of the champion, and the martial arts have the power of the three armies. Moreover, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is the consensus of the world, and the Luo Book is out, so the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Yue is the best candidate for the East Palace, and I hope Your Majesty will make a clear decision!
Li Yifu's generous statement was obviously an accident, which completely disrupted the calculations of all parties, and he was very eloquent, and his words were clear and coherent, and he also said that there was something to refute, and all parties who were caught off guard for a while were a little dumbfounded, and the buzzing of the hall roared again.
Hehe, interesting, really interesting, this Li Yifu is really not shocking and endless, the previous imperial examination excerpts have not been in the limelight, this time it's good, just run to the hall to make trouble, interesting, it really responds to the old saying: the big traitor must be a powerful person, hehe, this quick knife Lao Tzu will accept it, and it will be easy to use it a few times in the future. Li Zhen didn't expect Li Yifu to openly jump out and shout for himself, and he said so righteously, while his heart was crooked, he quietly gestured to Li Qianhe, signaling him to stand still for the time being.
Your Majesty, the minister thought that what Li Yushi said was very true, and the minister was also willing to recommend His Royal Highness King Yue as the prince.
Your Majesty, the ministers also wish to protect His Royal Highness the King of Yue.
Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is the prince of the people's hearts, and the trend of the times is also, I hope Your Majesty will see it!
The descendants of the Yue Wang's family did not move, but many middle and low-level officials in the court stood up one after another, expressing support for Li Zhen, and when they came to the back, even Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Huaiyu and other military generals couldn't help but stand up, shouting loudly, cheering for Li Zhen, so the voices of supporting Li Zhen in the hall rose one after another, and the situation was already one-sided!
Li Zhen as the crown prince, this is Li Shimin's decision in his heart, there will be no mistakes, but Li Shimin wants not such a one-sided situation, at this time, seeing that the situation is already a little out of control, although his face is still stable, but he can't help but mutter, but he can't help but stop the petition of the ministers in court, and his head hurts a little, after the ministers have come to an end, Li Shimin waved his hand, stopped the momentum of the petition, looked around at the courtiers, and finally fell on Li Zhen's body, After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke: Zhen'er, all Aiqing unanimously recommended Yuer, what does it mean?
Ha, old man, you also have miscalculations, hehe, this can't be recovered, right? Li Zhen knew that such a one-sided situation was not the result that Li Shimin wanted, in Li Zhen's deduction, the court meeting that Li Shimin wanted was disputed by all parties at that time, and then Li Shimin came to make a final decision, and then, it was logical to arrange several princes to show appeasement, and by the way, leave a check and balance for Li Zhen, but by Li Yifu's trouble, this abacus naturally couldn't go on.
The old man's abacus can't go on and doesn't matter, the problem is that Li Zhen really can't just enter the East Palace as expected at this time, if he leaves an impression in Li Shimin's mind, then the fun behind him will be great, maybe the old man may be worried that Li Zhen will play out of the Xuanwu Gate II, so as to set some traps for Li Zhen, in case he is used by that brother again, yes, Li Zhen's road to the East Palace may come to an end, this is not the result that Li Zhen wants, Li Zhen is not so arrogant that he thinks that the old man has to set himself up as his successor, this listening to the old man's question, Li Zhen did not dare to slack off, and took advantage of the moment of the ranking, his brain moved quickly, and he had already made a decision.
Enlighten the father, the love of the officials, the sons and daughters are terrified, they really dare not be arrogant, everything is arranged by the father, and the sons and ministers are undoubtedly righteous. Li Zhen said with a sincere face, and kicked the ball lightly to the feet of the old man.
Li Zhen was originally a Tai Chi master, Li Shimin had already known this in his heart, if it was in the past, Li Zhen pushed it, the old man might be unhappy, but at this delicate moment, Li Zhen's actions made Li Shimin secretly relieved, but the old man didn't plan to let Li Zhen go like this, so the corners of his mouth curved, and asked with a smile: I will make Er the prince, do you dare to do it?
As soon as Li Shimin said this, all the ministers in the hall pricked up their ears and looked at Li Zhen intently, all wanting to hear how Li Zhen answered, and the hall was very quiet for a while
