Chapter 194: Concessions
On the third day of the banquet, all the external matters were the same as usual, but for the hosts of the banquet, it was a moment of war without gunpowder.
Prince Rong shirked and said that he occasionally felt a cold and did not come.
Coincidentally, Hunan has the same reason.
After the recovery of the prince Li Dicheng, after a period of self-blame, he returned to the same appearance as before, and chose to attend today.
Mo Li has not woken up for the time being, so the only members of the royal family in this Hanxiang Courtyard are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Wan, King Huainan Li An and Prince Li Di.
In addition, those who were coerced in were Yu Shutang, the governor of Jianghuai, and Chen Liu, the supervision envoy. Of course, there is also a Jiangning Zhizhou who can only wait outside the Qingyun Pavilion.
"Wow, it's a big scene."
After Yu Shutang saluted, he teased like this, there is really a bit of barefoot people who are not afraid of wearing shoes.
Chen Liu, who was standing beside him, was also crying and laughing.
Although the atmosphere is subtle and the opinions are different, it is not yet time to completely tear the skin. This is located in adults can not see that it is still a person in temperament.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also heard Yu Shutang's final decision from this sentence, and couldn't help but sigh and sigh.
has been immersed in officialdom for more than ten years, and this person's temperament seems to have been worn out, but it is the same as before.
As long as you are obsessed with the things in your heart, you can't pull back the nine cows, let alone let them change their sex.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was silent, but King Huainan praised Yu Shutang:
"Lord Yu is really high-spirited today, happy to revenge."
"The prince has won the prize."
The three of them form an inexplicable triangle.
No one pierced the window paper first, so everyone looked at Chen Liu together.
「……」
At this time, Chen Liu had an idea, and controlled his stomach to make a gurgling sound. In this way, you can pretend to be embarrassed and say:
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince and Lord Yu, why don't you eat something first? I was in a hurry to go out today, and I forgot to eat."
It's not a clever way to distract people, but it's very useful.
The crown prince smiled, and ordered the following to pass some food to the overseer who deliberately did not eat.
Chen Liu deliberately got closer to Yu Shutang when he was eating, and whispered:
"Lord Yu, do you really need to be so strong?"
But the Governor only ate, and did not reply.
He had agreed with Chen Liu yesterday that Chen Liu should not be involved in this conflict.
He Yu Shutang's future may be uncertain, but he always has to leave someone to mediate for the next thing.
Chen Liu agreed, and also promised that if Yu Shutang was really questioned, he would help him take care of the affairs of the more than 100 schools.
At this time, the king of Huainan came over.
He didn't say much, just touched Yu Shutang's glass with his wine glass.
It's all in plain sight.
Things have to be settled, just like there will always be a moment when this bit of food is finished.
So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went straight to the challenge.
"What do you think?"
Yu Shutang ate and wiped clean, and sat on the chair without hesitation, and the answer was very simple:
"Not a word."
"Okay. That'......"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not really kill Shutang, but this position needs a more obedient person, such as the Jiangning Zhizhou Lord who was standing outside to make up the numbers.
By the way, Li Wan also wanted to restrain the few powerful governors of Daliang a little and give them a wake-up call.
Anyway, the Lord Zhizhou, who may be the new governor, will not have the same authority as Yu Shutang, slightly larger than Zhizhou, but a lot of power will be decomposed by Li Wan and divided into other ministries.
As for this classmate of his, he will first be sent to the local area, be a magistrate for a few years, and then bring him up after he has completed all the great deeds.
Officialdom, although ruthless, but
Li Wan's friendship with Yu Shutang's classmates is not so worthless.
"Wait a minute, this king has something to say."
Just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was about to issue an edict, King Huainan, the real core figure who seemed to be outside the debate, interrupted Li Wan with his words.
There was still a smile on the bronze resolute face.
He took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom and handed them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After Li Wan read it, the decision that was originally going to fall suddenly had a sense of regret.
"Uncle Wang is really...... Willing to do it."
As a result, Lord Zhizhou, who was preparing to soar outside the Qingyun Small Pavilion, finally left in disgrace.
The governor of Jianghuai is still in Shutang, and the officialdom pattern of Jianghuai has not changed.
After King Huainan gave some of the results that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted, he left Qingyun Pavilion indifferently.
The prince Li Di saw it, and he didn't stay for long, so he chose to leave.
Chen Liu also wanted to choose so, but ......
"You stay."
「……」
What do you have to do with me? What do I have to do?
However, he had no choice but to stay.
"Yes."
None of this is a bitter ploy.
King Huainan and Yu Shutang did not have a deep personal relationship, and there were several conflicts.
Really deposing Yu Shutang is not a big deal for King Huainan, it is nothing more than a direct game with Li Wan.
However, King Huainan chose to back down, allowing Li Wan to get the best result at the moment without much effort.
"The fourth uncle took the initiative to cut power."
Chen Liu and Yu Shutang were fortunate enough to see the note handed to Li Wan by the King of Huainan.
First, cut the government soldiers. The four elephant guards belonging to the Huainan Royal Mansion were reduced from 3,000 to 300, and no private soldiers were recruited.
Second, the commercial and trade business in the Jianghuai region was given to Sancheng Yuhu, and the imperial court took care of it itself, and the Huainan palace did not take it at all.
Third, the Huainan Palace's palace was cut off to contact the Sifang Pavilion.
Fourth, at the end of the year, the king of Huainan made a pilgrimage to Beijing.
This kind of concession can be said to be self-cutting, which obviously surprised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is not easy to force it further.
The already small number of government soldiers has been reduced to this point, but in fact, it can't set off an identity storm. Sancheng's business doesn't seem to be much, but it is enough to make the court's life a lot more relaxed in the past few years, after all, King Huainan is doing serious business, so it is already a good pervert.
Needless to say, the Sifang Pavilion is not much to say. Although the Huainan Royal Mansion is definitely more than this intelligence line, this one is undoubtedly the most important one.
As for entering Beijing......
"This kind of sincerity is really ...... It's unimaginable."
Even Yu Shutang, who has been an official for many years, can't see through King Huainan's plans.
Although the crown prince does plan to suppress the king of Huainan with trumped-up crimes, it is difficult to achieve the most ideal result in the end unless he is ***. After all, he is not an ordinary person, not an ordinary vassal king, but the king of Huainan, the king of Huainan who was once the most likely to become the emperor.
The original preparation was just to take cannibalization, and it took a few years, more than ten years to reach the goal of finally making King Huainan a truly idle prince.
The concessions given by King Huainan today are not known how much time it will take if they are according to the original plan.
"I can't figure out my fourth uncle...... Maybe it's just ......."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, and suddenly glanced at Chen Liu.
Of course, he will not be referring to the current Chen Liu, but the person behind Chen Liu, Feng Shuai.
As a result, the originally tense things suddenly lost the target directly due to the initiative of King Huainan.
"Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to remove my official position?"
"If you want to, you can't."
"Take the bag of gold back?"
"I knew you wouldn't use it. You can take it, it doesn't hurt to use it, it's all up to me anyway."
"Yes."
Li Wan and Yu Shutang revealed the previous ones through such a few simple words
Contradictions, or rather, there is no real stubbornness in the relationship between two people from beginning to end.
Perhaps a different sentence can summarize the conflict between them, and the way of the monarch is the reason why they sit down and continue to talk and get along.
As a result, Yu Shutang is still his Jianghuai Governor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Wan is still his classmate.
The bag of dispensable gold was not given to Shu Tang by Li Wanzhi, but by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Governor.
The lover then fell silent, very tacitly not to reveal the scars between them.
Whether the King of Huainan can gain the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by giving in is a known number...... The answer is no. On the other hand, it is unknown whether the governor of Jianghuai can continue. z.br>
"That's it. Tell me about you. I've been watching the show for so long."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly turned the topic to Chen Liu, which made him feel a little like the city gate was on fire and affected the fish in the pond.
"Your Highness's advice."
"I can't talk about pointing, anyway, you and Lord Yu are in collusion."
These words really blocked the topic directly.
Forming a party for personal gain, committing the following crimes, this is not a fun crime.
Yu Shutang looked up at the attic dome, pretending not to hear it, there was a taste of old fritters in officialdom pretending to be confused. Chen Liu also did the same, and talked about him left and right.
"Do Your Highness have any thoughts on the trip to the Three Mountains?"
The prince finally chose to let them go, and he followed Chen Liu's topic to talk about the three mountains of the East China Sea.
Since the choice of the envoy is not arbitrary.
The prince didn't think much about it, so he set the tone for the trip.
"Penglai will either hand over all the rebellious people, or destroy the sect. There is no big problem in Yingzhou, and the basic cooperation intention is negotiated. As for the abbot...... You can deal with it yourself cheaply."
"Yes."
The prince seemed to have said something, but he didn't say it at all.
Once the holy decree has been issued, it is natural that we must look for the first evil, and it is inevitable to ask Penglai for the sin.
Yingzhou has negotiated, and the abbot will deal with it cheaply...... The prince's ability to talk nonsense literature is still quite familiar.
If the leader doesn't speak, he can only take care of Chen Liu, the little envoy.
The so-called meritorious is the wise leader, and if there is a fault, it is to carry it by oneself, and to be thankless is to be thankless.
"Does Your Highness have any support?"
"What do you think? Want a good personal protection? Don't you have a demon lord? Is it awkward? That's not good. I don't have any extra beauties to give you......
The leader seems to be intent on empty-glove white wolf......
Chen Liu also suddenly felt a little uncomfortable on his body, as if it was because the smile on the prince's face was too full. This did not make Chen Liu feel relaxed, but instead thought of one word: smiling tiger.
There are words in the words, there are sets in the words, and there is murder in the words.
So, he chose to say:
"For the beam, for His Royal Highness, Weichen should be the liver and brain, and he will not give up."
"Aiqing is really a loyal minister."
