Chapter 121: The Emperor is Suspicious
It's just that Li Hao wants to live in peace, but the actual situation really doesn't allow it.
On this day, Yuan Shen came back from the East Palace and brought a message to Li Hao, saying that Emperor Wen planned to dismiss the state pastor and assassinate the history.
You must know that the current state pastors are quite self-conscious in office, and they are directly in charge of the military and political power of a state, and they can not only recruit and transfer some officials in the state, but also directly control the soldiers and horses of a state.
The assassin is dedicated to supervision, that is, responsible for inspecting local officials and playing a supervisory role, and the two are really not the same.
This kind of move is naturally a good thing for the center, after all, it can strengthen the centralization of power, but it is not good for the Yuan family, because it will undoubtedly reduce the strength of the Yuan family.
Li Hao's side didn't take it seriously after the initial accident.
Because Li Hao knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and Emperor Wen was really not idle at all.
After all, the power of the state pastor is indeed too great, the world has not been peaceful before, and the authority of the central government has not been established, so Emperor Wen naturally needs the state pastor to exert his subjective initiative and play the dual role of "defending the central government" and "pacifying the locality".
But now that the world has settled down, Emperor Wen used the Dutian Order to kill the prestige of many powerful families, and there is no longer a need for state pastors.
So Yuan Shen asked, "What should we do about this matter?"
Li Hao replied, "Just after the Dutian Order, no one will anger Your Majesty at this time, so we can only support it.
Or do you write a letter to inform your father of this, so that he can prepare in advance, and act in accordance with the edict as soon as it arrives, without delay."
Yuan Shen replied: "That's right, I think the same way, but there is no need to be in such a hurry, the specific implementation should not be so fast."
"You know what you know." After Li Hao finished speaking, he praised Yuan Shen. "You've been well-informed lately, and it seems that you've gained a firm foothold in the East Palace, so I can rest assured."
Yuan Shen was a little proud when he heard this, and replied, "That is, it is not in vain that I have been by the prince's side this year."
Seeing Yuan Shen like this, Li Hao didn't plan to get used to it anymore, so as not to let his fox tail rise to the sky.
When Yang asked, "By the way, there is one more thing, what do you say about you and Cheng Shaoshang, I am about to leave the capital, can this engagement banquet catch up."
At this moment, the joy on Yuan Shen's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "This matter has not been decided yet, so wait a minute!"
Li Hao continued: "What are you waiting for, you are not young now, you can't do it if you don't pay attention to it, or I will let Ah Ji and Leng Jun go and talk to Cheng Shaoshang for you."
Yuan Shen had some intention in his heart, but in the end he refused: "Don't, I'll do this by myself, you don't have to worry about it."
After speaking, he had to leave under the pretext, so as not to be questioned by Li Hao again.
But how could Li Hao let him leave so easily, he immediately grabbed him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I still want to ask you about instigating the five princes?"
Hearing that it was a serious matter, Yuan Shen's steps of leaving also stopped, and replied, "It's almost agitated, and he is now very yearning for life outside the palace.
It's just that he is a little afraid of His Majesty after all, so he doesn't dare to play to His Majesty until now, and I've been getting people to train him to be brave recently."
"That's right, the five princes are afraid of Your Majesty like a tiger, and it's normal that they don't dare to fight for it, no matter how hard you let people work hard, there will always be a chance. After all, this young man is angry, and he always has some blood in his heart."
After Li Hao finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then spoke again: "By the way, are you also a little afraid of guilt, so you don't dare to fight for it."
Yuan Shen listened okay at first, but after listening, his face suddenly darkened: "If you have something to say, I'll go down first to get busy, I have a lot of things at hand now, and I don't have time to accompany you here."
Just make yourself happy with a few jokes, Li Hao didn't intend to make him really anxious, so he let him go later.
Soon after, the matter of the state pastor's assassination was officially brought to the court for discussion, and
An edict was issued to consult the current state pastors.
But at this time, even if he was really unwilling in his heart, no one would express it, so the concertos who returned one after another expressed their agreement with this matter, among which Yuan Pei and Liang Wuji's replies were extremely resolute, giving Emperor Wen a lot of face.
Therefore, Emperor Wen also reciprocated and agreed to Liang Wuji's coming to the capital, and it happened that the previous Situ Ouyang was arrested and killed in the edict prison in Dutian Eucalyptus, so he appointed him as the new Situ, and the Yuzhou Assassin was selected separately.
As for Yuan Pei, he could only be temporarily transferred to Xuzhou Assassin History, but correspondingly, Emperor Wen also gave a certain amount of compensation to Li Hao and Yuan Shen.
It just so happened that Yuan Shen and Li Hao had not yet confirmed the reward for their previous execution of the Dutian Order, so they were given together this time.
Yuan Shen was the crown prince's family order and added officials to the middle school, while Li Hao was appointed as the Taishou of the Shu army, Chengdu is also a good place to go, at least the rich are very rich, and they will not go to any poor and remote places.
Now that the position was decided, Li Hao began to prepare his bags to take the Shu army to his post, but considering that Liang Wuji was already on his way to the capital, he planned to wait until he met Liang Wuji before leaving.
In the process of waiting, the five princes were finally persuaded to be unable to bear it, and came forward to ask Emperor Wen to go to the fief to become a vassal.
Emperor Wen didn't think much about it after hearing this, after all, he didn't have any expectations for this son, so if he wanted to go to the fiefdom, he would go.
However, considering that this son is not very reliable, he thought of finding a stricter minister in the court to help control him.
Then this search alarmed the courtiers, so someone stood up and said to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, since you have allowed the five princes to go to the fiefdom to become vassals, the three princes are older than the five princes, and Your Majesty naturally can't favor one over the other, so it's better to join the feud this time."
Emperor Wen didn't reply positively after hearing this, but just said, "Rong Zhen thinks about this matter again, and first arrange the affairs of the five princes."
But where would the courtiers give up easily, especially the more prestige the crown prince is now, and seeing that his position is becoming more and more stable, there will naturally be more people who want to take refuge.
In the past, they didn't have much opportunity to show their goodwill, but now they can do their best to brush their presence in front of the prince.
And this time, Emperor Wen's attitude was obviously much more relaxed than before, and he didn't even reprimand, which also increased their thoughts.
So for a while, the documents requesting the three princes to take up the vassal were on the book of Emperor Wen in an endless stream.
The courtiers made a lot of noise here, but the three princes did not say a word, but the prince entered the palace to help the three princes say a few words, saying that if he didn't want to, it was okay to stay in the capital.
After hearing this, Emperor Wen praised the prince's benevolence, but then called Huo Budo to him and asked, "Did you see anyone before the prince entered the palace today?"
Huo Budo replied when he heard this: "Your Highness thinks that the matter of letting the third prince take over the vassal is the crown prince manipulating behind his back?"
Emperor Wen said, "I naturally want to believe in the crown prince, otherwise the past twenty years or so will not be fake! It's just that the Emperor of the Emperor's time is still in his mind."
Huo Budo understood Emperor Wen's thoughts, and he didn't want him to really misunderstand the prince, so he explained: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not Emperor Er, he is a sincere and benevolent person.
Before and after the third prince took office, the crown prince had been on the board of directors of the East Palace, and he had no secret talks with other people during this period, and most of the time the ministers were also present."
Emperor Wen continued to ask, "What about Yuan Shanjian, is it possible for him?" a>vas>div> scan the code to download the red sleeves and Xiaoxiang to send benefits, and newcomers can read div>div>div > for free for a limited time
