Chapter 37: It's Okay (Asking for Push and Return)

"Lingnan has been very busy lately." Huang Chong said.

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Although Mr. Di is not from the rivers and lakes, he should also know that the environment in Lingnan is extremely harsh, not only the population is sparse, but there are also very few people in the rivers and lakes, and there is no regular gang sect with more than 100 people in a huge Lingnan."

"Yes, I've heard a little about this."

"But this time, for some reason, Lingnan has poured in a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, and I have met a lot, not only that, but there is also a group of mysterious people who appear in Lingnan."

"Mystery people?" Di Renjie frowned slightly, he already had a little guess in his heart.

Although Di Renjie has stayed away from the court, this does not mean that he knows nothing about the situation in the imperial court, he still maintains relatively close ties with the imperial court, and he knows that most of the 36 ministers and innocent people implicated in the Liu Sili case have been exiled to Lingnan.

In addition, he also knows the affairs of the Tang Gate, and part of the power of the Tang Gate is in Lingnan.

Therefore, Di Renjie estimated that Lingnan has definitely not been calm recently, so he asked Huang Chongling about the situation in Lingnan.

Regarding the "mysterious person" in Huang Chong's mouth, Di Renjie guessed that it was the "Plum Blossom Internal Guard", after all, it was the emperor's intention to attack the Tang Sect this time, and it was a matter of course to dispatch the internal guard.

"Exactly, I met two groups before and after, although I have not fought with these people, but I can see that they are well-trained, by no means ordinary people, and it is not difficult to judge from their behavior, words and deeds, these people should be from the same place, originally I was curious, and wanted to know more, but every time they will disappear for no reason, so I have nowhere to start, and at the same time I also deeply feel that Lingnan is a big whirlpool, so I left."

Huang Chong didn't care about what Di Renjie was thinking in his heart, nor did he hide anything, anyway, there is nothing to say, it's all facts, in the face of Di Renjie's perversion, it's best to tell the truth, otherwise a lie will be covered up with ten sentences, and it will be easy to expose flaws.

"It looks like it's going to be an internal guard." Di Renjie said secretly in his heart, and sighed in his heart, he didn't expect the Tang Gate to be destroyed like this, he knew very well that once the state machine moved, then the Tang Gate would never be spared.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie couldn't help but look up in the direction of Luoyang and said secretly: "I'm afraid there is chaos in the court now." ”

……

Di Renjie's guess is not bad at all, now the court is really in chaos, and all this revolves around the "position of the prince", whether it is the destruction of the Tang Sect or Liu Sili's rebellion.

According to the rules, the crown prince should have the eldest son, that is, the eldest son of Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi - Li Hong, Li Hong can be said to be very good in all aspects, and his reputation among the people is also very high, he is simply a perfect successor, but Li Hong is not in good health and is frail and sickly.

When he was twenty-three years old, Li Hong went to Luoyang with his father and mother, but died suddenly, and did not mention what the cause of death was, anyway, the most orthodox prince died.

After Li Hong's death, the crown prince was passed to Wu Zetian's second son, that is, Li Shouxin's father Li Xian, and Li Xian's ending was given to death by his own mother.

Then the crown prince was passed to the third son Li Xian, and after Li Zhi's death, Li Xian ascended the throne as the emperor, of course, Li Xian was completely a puppet emperor, and it was not long before he was abolished by Wu Zetian, and the throne fell to Wu Zetian's fourth son Li Dan.

Later, Wu Zetian moved the capital to Luoyang, ascended the throne and became the emperor, and Li Dan changed from the emperor to the crown prince, until now.

Li Dan, the crown prince, sits very unsteadily, because from time to time there are courtiers who say that the prince is rebelling, if it were not for the loyalty of his subordinates, plus his good luck, Li Dan may not be alive now.

The fundamental reason why the crown prince Li Dan has been repeatedly attacked is that Wu Sansi, when he saw his aunt becoming the emperor, he had a strange thought, hoping that Wu Zetian could make him the prince.

So Wu Sansi united with the ministers of the DPRK and China to do all kinds of things.

The thirty-six ministers implicated in Liu Sili's rebellion this time include a large number of close ministers of the crown prince, plus the destruction of the Tang Sect, the power of the crown prince Li Dan has been weakened to a very low level.

This time, twenty-five internal guards were killed, Wu Zetian was furious, she believed that this was done by the people of the Tang Sect, so the perception of the crown prince Li Dan also dropped to a low point, Wu Sansi and others seized the opportunity to immediately put on the table, hoping that the emperor could abolish the crown prince Li Dan and establish Wu Sansi as the heir.

Wu Zetian was obviously moved, but considering that there were a large number of pro-Li factions among the courtiers, as an excellent politician, Wu Zetian needed a reason, a reason to depose the crown prince, and after Wu Sansi and the others realized this, they immediately began to look for a suitable reason for the emperor.

The situation at the imperial court was very tense for a time.

The words are divided into two ends, no matter what the crown prince Li Dan said, he also grew up in the royal family, and he was also an emperor, and he has been in such a political environment for a long time, even if he is an ordinary person, his political literacy can be cultivated, not to mention that Li Dan is not an ordinary person.

Realizing his danger, he also made a move.

Li Dan's method is very simple, that is, to retreat as advance, since the emperor can't find an excuse to take away his crown prince, then Li Dan simply gave up the crown prince's position, of course, it is impossible to hand it over to Wu Sansi.

Li Dan immediately wrote to Wu Zetian, saying that he was in poor health and could not be qualified for the position of prince, and it would be difficult to govern the country well in the future, and asked the emperor to recall Li Xian, and he was willing to give up the position of prince to Li Xian.

This Li Xian is also an unlucky child, he has been wandering outside since he was abolished, living a difficult life, and has not been in Shendu.

Li Dan's move is not bad, the parties are willing to retreat, then naturally hello, I am good, everyone, things will be easy to do, Wu Zetian and the ministers immediately reached a compromise, recalled Li Xian, and made him the crown prince.

The only unhappy thing is Wu Sansi and others, although they abolished the crown prince Li Dan as they wished, but the position of the prince did not fall into the hands of Wu Sansi.

From the beginning of Liu Sili's rebellion to Li Xian's return to Shendu to become the crown prince, it took more than half a year before and after this turmoil was calmed down.

……

Huang Chong stayed in Hongze for two days, and had a little friendship with Di Renjie, and then went north, just like Huang Chong told Di Renjie, and began to travel all over the world, first, to see the customs of this era, and second, to meet the heroes of the world, looking for further opportunities.

When Li Xian became the prince again, Huang Chong was in Bianzhou, and after hearing the news, he smiled and didn't care too much, does it have anything to do with him when he becomes the prince?

No.
