[Chapter 20: Who is in charge of the family affairs of the Son of Heaven] (1)

Li Longji was silent. In fact, he hadn't thought about it before. Among his many sons, his favorite is Shouwang. And King Shou himself is indeed obedient and sensible, if he becomes the prince, he will abide by his duty and never take a step beyond Lei Chi, and he can also make up for the regret that Concubine Wu Hui failed to seal back then.

The most important thing is that Shouwang is still young.

And the crown prince Li Ying and his family Erlang are already over the age of confusion. has been the prince for so many years, but I am afraid that Erlang has long been anxious, so he has moved some thoughts that should not be there, so that he has today's disloyalty, unfilial piety and great rebellion.

An obedient and easy-to-handle prince is exactly what Li Longji wants most.

"Just like before the dismissal of the prime minister, it is best to choose a good candidate for the new prime minister, the crown prince is much more important than the prime minister, so naturally it should be." Xiao Jiangyuan said again.

Li Longji hesitated and said, "If there is no accident, it should be Eighteen Lang." ”

"Then this is the middle of the court...... Who is likely to support Shouwang? ”

"You mean Li Shilang?" Li Longji shook his head, "But when the courtiers objected, he didn't stand up to help me, because I trusted him so much." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan also shook his head, and sighed a little helplessly: "How can a prime minister with an unstable foundation dare to risk the world's condemnation and become an enemy of the entire court?" Moreover, if he really took the initiative to stand up, he would definitely become the target of the public, and the courtiers respected everyone as a king, and they would not do anything to everyone, but they could jointly write a letter to let everyone get rid of him, a courtier with bad intentions. When the time comes, will everyone be enemies of all the courtiers for the sake of Li Xianggong? ”

Li Longji smiled awkwardly: "I will definitely throw him out to calm the anger of the public." But then it was even more difficult for me to continue. And the other courtiers who wanted to help me, seeing that Li Shilang was such an ending, they didn't dare to act. So you mean ......"

"Everybody's going to have to push him."

Seeing the scorching light in Xiao Jiangyuan's eyes, Li Longji thought for a moment, and then slyly hooked the corners of his lips.

In fact, in the past two days, Li Linfu has also been thinking about how to help Concubine Hui, King Shou and even the saint without offending Zhang Jiuling, Pei Yaoqing and even his colleagues, and abolish this prince - this is also helping himself. Just another day later, the opportunity came.

In the diligent government affairs building, Li Longji mentioned the abolition of the prince again, and without waiting for Zhang Jiuling and others to object, he inquired in turn.

Zhang Jiuling's attitude naturally did not change, and re-polished the reasons that had been said before, and said again: "The saint has ruled the world for nearly thirty years, and the princes and kings have listened to the holy precepts since childhood, and the people of the world all respect the saint to enjoy the country for a long time, and the descendants to prosper. Now that the prince and the other three are all adults, and they don't know about the big mistakes, how can the saint just rely on rootless words, when he is happy and angry, to do the abolition of the establishment? What's more, the crown prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken lightly. In the former Jin Dynasty, he listened to Li Ji's slander and killed Shen Sheng, causing chaos in the third world; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Xinjiang was false, blaming the prince and causing the capital to bleed; The words of Empress Dugu of the former Sui Wendi, who deposed the prince Yong and established Emperor Yang, lost the world. From this point of view, the abolition of the crown prince must not be careless. If the saint had to do this, the minister would not dare to give the edict. ”

Seeing that Pei Yaoqing seconded the proposal, Li Longji nodded, and his eagle-like gaze immediately fell on Li Linfu: "What does Li Aiqing think?" ”

Li Linfu laughed in his heart. It seems that the Son of Heaven saw that he didn't stand up to help him, so he took the initiative to force him to make a statement. Seeing that everyone's eyes in the hall were on him, even Zhang Jiuling was no exception, Li Linfu took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is a matter of the saint's family, why bother asking an outsider?" ”

The other permanent staff officers also felt that Li Linfu was really cunning and cunning, and he could not be offended by either side, but Pei Yaoqing had already opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Linfu fixedly, unable to take his eyes off for a long time, while Zhang Jiuling glanced at Li Linfu lightly, and then turned his head to resume his appearance of lowering his eyes and being polite.

Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at each other, and saw her smiling lightly, and their hearts lit up - Li Linfu's words were too level.

Li Longji didn't continue to ask, and said directly: "Li Xianggong is reasonable, although the prince is the foundation of the country, it is my family matter to appoint which son to be the prince." In the past, Erlang was of course my own person, but I didn't know that he had such wolf ambitions at the time, but now that I know it, I should make up for it, which is also my responsibility as the Son of Heaven. Do you have any objections to this? ”

Li Longji said it well, where can the courtiers have any objections.

But Zhang Jiuling still had something to say, but as soon as he took half a step forward, he was stopped by Pei Yaoqing.

Li Longji saw it in his eyes and said busily: "Zhong Aiqing should go back and think about it before making a decision." In short, I have made up my mind on this matter, if there is no objection, I will draft a book on the abolition of the prince tomorrow, I hope that Zhong Aiqing can understand my mind and really think about Datang and me. ”

After that, he ordered his ministers to retreat.

As soon as the third prime minister returned to the Zhongshu Gate, Pei Yaoqing couldn't help but say angrily: "You, you, you ......"

Li Linfu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Pei Yaoqing: "Pei Xianggong is not in a hurry, he has something to say slowly." ”

"How can you be so flattering? In the past two years, I have seen that you are diligent and serious, and I thought that I had misjudged you in the past, and I still wronged you for you, felt guilty for you, and took care of you many times, but I didn't want you to be this kind of person?! ”

Li Linfu smiled with a look of embarrassment: "There is no way to go down to the official, the saints have asked the lower officials by name." Zhang Xianggong and Pei Xianggong are valued by the saints, no matter what they say, the saints will not be punished, but the lower officials are different. Xiaguan, the prime minister, is a layman, if he says the wrong word, it is very likely that this career will be over, but Xiaguan has finally climbed to the current ......"

Although Li Linfu was talking to Pei Yaoqing, his eyes drifted to Zhang Jiuling from time to time. I saw that after Zhang Jiuling entered the Zhongshu Gate, he sat down in his seat calmly and began to deal with government affairs, as if nothing had happened just now. It wasn't until he was about to finish speaking that Li Linfu saw that Zhang Jiuling, who had always straightened his back, turned his head slightly, and his lips seemed to be slightly raised:

"If you have achieved your goal, why bother to belittle yourself?"

Zhang Jiuling's tone was flat, so that people couldn't hear any emotion.

After hearing this, Pei Yaoqing glared at Li Linfu angrily, flicked his sleeves and sat down in his seat, ignoring Li Linfu again.

Li Linfu always smiled innocently and harmlessly, and saluted Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing in a proper manner before walking to his seat. He was just about to sit down, when he saw Zhang Jiuling get up and gave him a salute back.

He finally saw clearly that Zhang Jiuling did have a smile on his lips, and there was no trace of ridicule as he expected, but there was no praise in it. The smile was as light as clear water, clear and thorough, but it still didn't make him understand. Even if he received Zhang Jiuling's return gift, he was not the slightest proud.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this Zhang Jiuling has this ability, no matter how he speaks, his actions or his attitude, no matter how soft he is, or even if he breathes in a low voice, he is full of wind and bones that he would rather bend.

In any case, the matter of abolishing the crown prince has finally gone further, and it can be done when there are more people who respond tomorrow. When King Shou becomes the new prince, he Li Linfu really doesn't have to be arrogant anymore. And Zhang Jiuling, the saint has begun to have an estrangement with him, with the saint's current state of mind, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it a few more times, and then this Zhongshu will be his Li Linfu's world.

As for Pei Yaoqing, in Li Linfu's opinion, he is much simpler than Zhang Jiuling, and Li Linfu hasn't taken him seriously.

This matter must be notified to Concubine Wu Hui earlier, one is to hand Concubine Wu Hui a good hand, and the other is to let her stay still, so as not to make too many mistakes and be held by Zhang Jiuling, and then the success will fall short.

It's a pity that he was one step too late after all.

Concubine Wu Hui actually didn't need Li Linfu to inform and suggest, and she didn't know that stillness was stronger than movement at this moment, but at the same time as she learned about the process of abolishing the prince, she also got the news that the people of Chunxiangfang had gone to the empty building.

After all, her identity is not as suitable as Xiao Jiangyuan, and she can only check it in a justifiable way, and even sending someone to inquire can only knock on the side, so the news she got is not as clear and certain as Xiao Jiangyuan's got. Because of this, she just had a little confidence, and she couldn't help but feel empty again.

She can still calm down, but her daughter is still young:

"A-Niang...... Could it be that they didn't move away at all, but were taken away? ”

Concubine Wu Hui also had this thought: "If you are Aye, you should be above board, and I don't need to worry about relying on the methods of Dali Temple; The crown prince and the second king are still in the East Palace, and they have cut off all contact with the outside world for a few days, and they don't have that brain, so they are not them; Could it be that in the Ten Kings' Mansion, there is a prince who has a very good relationship with them and wants to help them? ”

Princess Xianyi shook her head and said, "In the past few days, except for Eighteen Lang and Yuhuan in the Ten Kings' Mansion, it is too late for everyone to be in danger. And with Aya here, they don't have any soldiers in their hands, so they can't catch those people overnight. ”

"You're right, not only to see the motive, but also to see if you have the ability......" Concubine Wu Hui pondered, and her heart suddenly lit up, "Could it be her?" ”

"Who?"

"General Xiao."

"Awn?" Princess Xianyi was even more calm, "If it's her, what's the difference between that and Aya?" ”

Earlier, when Aya wanted to abolish the prince, she spoke for the prince, even if she was not on the prince's side, she would not be on the side of King Shou, and there were inner flying dragon soldiers who could be driven at will, except for her, there was no more suspicious candidate. And her attitude often represents Aya's attitude, which is also the most terrifying place.

"Exactly...... Concubine Wu Hui was worried in her heart, and she always maintained a decent and gentle smile on the surface, "You were born late, and you have only seen her reasonableness on weekdays, but you have not seen her unscrupulous means in her early years." In the past, when your aunt and grandmother Princess Taiping were there, in order to help you Aya stabilize the position of the crown prince, she could not even take her own life, and she also had to blame Princess Taiping. If she supports the prince this time, and the people in Chunxiangfang are really taken away by her, even if they don't say anything, as long as she wants to, she can come up with evidence and get involved with us. ”

"Ah Niang and Ah Weng have no grievances, why did Ah Weng just climb us?"
