Chapter 163: The Prince's Intent
"The prince really just wants to save Tang San's 'life'?" Ning Shaobi sneered, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be safe to let Tang San Taoguang be obscure earlier?" ”
The Marquis of Yongcheng frowned and said: "But Tang San's plan is not good, not to mention that the emperor and the princess will not approve of the crusade against Dongyi Mountain, even if it really starts a war, everything depends on the hope of the prince and Tang San, so that Gu and Europe will recover, but Dongyi Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Zhong Chong Shengwu is overlooked, and then my Da Liang soldiers will definitely suffer a lot of losses!" Although he could afford it, the emperor and queen could use the excuse of sympathy for the soldiers to let the ancient and European generations offset their merits and demerits - at that time, wouldn't Tang San still be empty? Even if Tang San couldn't think of this, the prince would think about it for him. This incident is really incomprehensible. ”
"Dongyi Mountain can't be easily fought." Ning Shaobi shook his head and said calmly, "Even if there is a real fight, the emperor will not use Gu and Europe, and he does not need to use Gu and Europe." ”
The Marquis of Yongcheng said suspiciously: "If you don't use the veterans of the battlefield such as Gu and Ou, I'm afraid that the new generals over the years may not be Zhong Chongsheng's opponents. ”
"Did Father forget?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Ning Shaobi's mouth, and he reminded, "And Subo!" ”
"Hey! How is this possible?! When the Marquis of Yongcheng heard this, he didn't want to think about it, and said, "Su Shina is indeed a handsome generation, enough to compete with Zhong Chongsheng!" But it's very cool, but to recover a Dongyi Mountain, it depends on the generals of the Yue Clan! Do you think the government and the opposition can afford to lose this face? ”
Ning Shaobi said lightly: "If Su Bo leads the soldiers of Da Liang, of course Da Liang can't afford to lose this face, but what if Su Bo leads the army of the Yue Clan?" ”
"What?!" Yongcheng Hou's face suddenly changed!
Ning Shaobi said hesitantly: "Father, don't forget, now my uncle is still the head person, not the head person!" My father said that if he had the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the head in the name of the head, there was no need to worry about me or my descendants returning to the clan with the head token...... Will my uncle let this credit go? ”
He continued, "It's not just the Yueshi either! The Hus of the Western Regions, such as Qiuzi, etc., although they are rebellious, but now that Daliang is at its peak, if the emperor sends them as pawns, they will not dare to object! However, the topography of Dongyi Mountain and Zhong Chongsheng's talent all determined that unless Zhong Chongsheng surrendered, no matter who went to crusade, it would be impossible to capture it without paying a heavy price!
"If you attack purely with the Great Liang soldiers, how can the emperor and the princes of the court not feel distressed? However, if the ancient and European generations go to drive the Hu people to take the lead, it will inevitably make the Hu people in the Western Regions dissatisfied, and it will also lose the reputation of our Great Liangtian Dynasty. Therefore, let Su Bo return to the Yue clan, with the Yue clan as the leader, and lead the Hu...... No matter how many people die in Hengzhu, the court will send an edict of compassion and reward some money and silk, not only does it not have to hurt the 'life' of my Daliang people, but also saves it from thousands of miles and inconvenience! ”
Ning Shaobi calmly analyzed, "Su Bo was famous in the Western Regions back then, let him lead the Hu soldiers, and his name was right, and no one could speak!" But Su Bo has always been loyal to his mother, and since his mother married to Chang'an, he has been quite 'friendly' with the Yue clan! Therefore, Su Bo hurriedly returned to the Yue Clan, even if he was afraid of the command of his troops, the Yue Clan did not dare to do harm, but it was impossible not to be involved! Even if it doesn't implicate ...... Father, please think about it, Su Bo has become discordant with the Yue clan, and he is the commander of many Hu troops, in order to get the cooperation of the Yue clan, what will he do? ”
The Marquis of Yongcheng said in a deep voice: "Naturally, I will try my best to protect the army of the Yue Clan, and let the other Hu clans, especially those who are not in harmony with the Yue Clan, take the lead in order to consume their strength!" ”
"Not bad!" Ning Shaobi nodded solemnly, "The Zhuhu of the Western Regions originally had a grudge against each other, and when the Great Liang went to the west, Zhuhu could not resist, so they surrendered one after another, and they were willing to be bound by the Great Liang for me!" Since they belong to the same country, they must let go of their grievances and dare not use their troops again! However, Hu Ren is fierce and strong, and the grievances that were suppressed by Da Liang may not be forgotten so much. This time, Ruo Sub didn't handle it well...... No, Su Bo is not careful, and the prince and Tang San will also instigate it, making the gap between Zhuhu increase! It has increased to the point that maybe as soon as Dongyi Mountain is defeated, there will be a fight between Zhuhu! ”
"At that time, Su Shina, as the commander, will naturally bear the brunt of the attack, and he will be questioned!" The cold light flashed in the eyes of the Marquis of Yongcheng, and he said, "He is the loyal servant of your mother and son, and this fire can continue to burn to the Ning family!" ”
Ning Shaobi said hesitantly: "Because the matter was proposed by Tang San, something happened in the Western Regions, naturally we were dissatisfied with Tang San, and deliberately did it so that Tang San would be punished-with my grandmother, our family may not suffer a loss in this lawsuit, but a trouble is inevitable, and the most important thing is that the Western Regions are so restless, this is the opportunity for the recovery of Gu and Europe!" ”
He squinted his eyes and said lightly, "It's not difficult to fight down a mere Dongyi Mountain, if there are no new soldiers who need to be guarded by generals, these people in Gu and Ou will just run out and then fight again." ”
"Raising thieves with self-respect?" The Marquis of Yongcheng suddenly muttered, "What a Tang Ang! He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, for Tang San, he has also done such a thing as ordering the frontier beacon fire?! ”
"In my opinion, it's not all about Tang San." Ning Shaobi said calmly, "Father thinks, what is there in Tang San that can make the people of ancient and European countries take a fancy to it?" The three of Gu, Ou, and Zhuo supported him, nothing more than because the prince favored his eldest son, and Tang San himself was still passable - a little deeper, Su Taishi and other civil officials had already chosen Tang Si, and the military generals had already been peaceful and prosperous over the years, and their status was declining, so they naturally had to find a way out for themselves. ”
The Gu family, the Ou family, and the Marquis of Min Ping are not fools, this kind of thing is so dangerous that they don't know? When he chose to support the king of Yanchang County, he naturally considered it, and even had to do it. Originally, because of the wealth and prosperity of Da Liang, there was some emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, and the world has been peaceful over the years, and the status of military generals and the weight of speaking from the top are even lower.
Moreover, there are no people among these people who are particularly good at reading and can change their texts to support the 'door' court. In this case, everyone should consider how to continue the family voice.
Like the Marquis of Minping and the former Ou family, they can still rely on the title to support several generations, but because Gu Taifu is the head of the generals, his prestige in the army is too high, so although he won the position of the third duke, he was not knighted in the end.
For the sake of their descendants, coupled with the prince's obvious preference, they chose the king of Yanchang - at that time, this choice was really not bad, after all, if the king of Zhending wanted to ascend the throne, he must have taken over the throne from the prince. And the prince loves Midorihime so much......
At that time, everyone thought that there was little hope for the king of Zhendingjun.
But in the past few years, the situation has changed, but the king of Zhending has a great advantage, but the king of Yanchang has deteriorated!
Gu and Ou, including the Marquis of Minping, and even the former Qiguo Gongning War, were all defeated in this battle. Ru Ning Zhan even died with his family because of this, and almost wiped out the 'door'.
"Tang San's power comes from the crown prince, because the emperor supports Tang Si, Tang San is suppressed, which is equivalent to the loss of the prince's power." Ning Shaobi snorted, "For example, Minping Hou and these people were all subordinate officials of the East Palace before!" But they were all suppressed when they supported Tang San, but Tang Si won the emperor's heart......"
Yongcheng nodded knowingly-Ning Shaobi said this, and he also understood.
The crown prince now instructed the king of Yanchang to expose Ren Shenzhi's life experience, so as to propose Dongyi Mountain, not only to pave the way for the eldest son, but also to ...... Even, more for their own sake.
As Ning Shaobi said, the courtiers who supported the king of Yanchang were basically the power of the prince, but due to the repeated defeats of the king of Yanchang in the 'confrontation' with the king of Zhending, the situation reversed, resulting in these people being suppressed extremely miserably. As a result, the power of the prince's faction has also been greatly reduced.
Of course, Emperor Xianping has no concubines, and all the princes are out of the queen of Chunyu, and they love each other, and the king of Jin and the king of light have always been very respectful to the prince.
So the prince's power has been seriously weakened, and he is not worried about King Jin and King Guang - he is now worried about King Zhending.
Although the king of Zhending County is the only concubine of the prince, because the prince loves Lu Ji, he has always been not very close to this son, and even reprimanded this son-in-law many times for the sake of the king of Zhending and the king of Yanchang. The relationship between father and son is weak.
In recent years, with the support of the emperor, the position of the emperor's grandson has become more and more stable, but the crown prince, because of his insistence on supporting the eldest son, has been repeatedly reprimanded and blamed by the emperor. In such a situation, of course, the crown prince has to worry about the full-fledged king of Zhending County - if he is too plump, it is not a matter that the prince will not be able to make him the East Palace after he ascends the throne.
But...... After the crown prince ascended the throne, was the government in the hands of the new emperor or in the hands of the king of Zhending?
Originally, the prince was planning for the future of his beloved eldest son, but now he is planning for his own future...... It's no wonder that the prince, as the prince, did not hesitate to personally provoke the war on the frontier!
"There are twists and turns, since you can see through it, of course the emperor and queen will see through it." The Marquis of Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this case, the prince's plan will not succeed, it just depends on how they end up this time." I'm more worried that the crown prince is so unwise, and the emperor will ......."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Ning Shaobi sneer and say, "How could this plan not succeed?" If he can't succeed, why should the prince offend this year's class of new science and scholars, and make the equally defenseless prime ministers unhappy? ”
The Marquis of Yongcheng changed color and said, "Why? ”
"A saint is a king and a father." Ning Shaobi said calmly, "The crown prince is the descendant of the emperor and queen, and Tang Si is the descendant of the prince, usually the heir, but for the emperor and queen, Tang Si is always one layer apart from the prince, isn't it?" ”
The Marquis of Yongcheng seemed to think of something, and his expression changed again.
"If it's just Tang San and Tang Si fighting, then the emperor will definitely choose Tang Si without hesitation! For this reason, I don't care if I am more indifferent to Tang San, but if there is between the prince and Tang Si, the emperor and queen can't ignore the prince. Ning Shaobi sneered and said, "In the past few years, the prince's power has indeed been weakened too much, and it is not impossible for the prince to ascend the throne in the future and not be able to suppress Tang Si." And their father-son relationship is weak, and the prince has always favored Lu Ji's mother and son...... In the future, if father and son turn against each other...... Father, please think, how could the emperor let such a thing happen? The father is weak and the son is strong, and from the perspective of the emperor and queen, he is also unwilling to do so. ”
The prince 'flower' spoke for the king of Yanchang County, and the emperor and queen could ignore it, but now the power of the king of Zhending County has threatened the authority of the prince after he ascended the throne, and this fact cannot be ignored by the emperor and queen!
"But the crown prince is jealous of Tang Si's heart......" The Marquis of Yongcheng had a shocked 'look' on his face, "Isn't Tang Si extremely dangerous?" ”
Ning Shaobi said: "Tang Si's wings have been completed, unless the emperor and queen defeat him, otherwise even if Gu and Ou are reused, it is unlikely that the prince wants to eradicate him." In fact, the prince's power was weakened, not for a day or two, he deliberately forbears until now to say, obviously it is also to 'force' the emperor, in order to avoid the situation that the father is weak and the son is strong, and the son kills the father. ”
"The emperor has supported Tang Si for several years, and now it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so I don't expect it to be abandoned because of the prince?" Yongcheng Hou's face was extremely ugly, and he said.
"Neither the prince nor the grandson is a child's play, and it is impossible to be abolished because of trivial matters." Ning Shaobi nodded and said calmly, "Let's talk about the changes in the situation after this incident, the Ou family has offended the grandmother, and the grandmother is still there, so it is impossible to recover." The Zhuo family is now our in-laws, and has set up a big house close to the four rooms as the son, I think the prince will definitely choose the ancient family as the main family, and the Zhuo family as the auxiliary-Hasn't Zhuo Fangya always been friendly with Tang San? But what the emperor will do, I don't know. ”
The Marquis of Yongcheng sighed deeply and did not speak-these people are resurrected, or the resurgence allowed by the emperor, although from the emperor's point of view, it is to avoid the future prince not being able to suppress the king of Zhending, but it also means that the king of Zhending is suspicious of the prince at this moment...... The road to the throne, which had already seen the light of day, now seems to be back in darkness......
