Princess Gaochang's approach may be a bit blunt, but from a political point of view, she really did nothing wrong.

Murong Wanqiu, who has a son and a half daughter, and Murong Wanqiu, who has no son and a half daughter, are definitely two different things.

Moreover, if her sons want to have a head start in the future, they really need Murong Wanqiu to leave a son and a half daughter for Li Chengqian.

Of course, she also has her own ambitions.

If her grandson can inherit the great treasure of Datang in the future, it will naturally be different.

Even after returning a hundred years later, she can have an explanation with Murong Xiaojun when she goes underground.

It may be difficult, but there is a chance.

Opportunity, as long as people look at it, no one wants to give it up.

Just like Li Ke, they all said that he had the blood of the previous dynasty, and it was difficult for him to ascend to the great treasure, and the eldest grandson Wuji would not let him ascend to the great treasure.

If he wants to take the road of seizing the heir, it will be extremely difficult.

Do you think he knows?

He knows!

But what about knowing?

There should be a fight, there should be a fight, and before the matter came to a conclusion, everyone thought that he was the chosen one.

Who will serve whom?

Therefore, sometimes seeing opportunities is actually more terrifying than not seeing opportunities.

……

Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling's mansion.

During this time, Fang Xuanling has been pondering.

As the servant of the Tang Dynasty, he didn't want to see such a strong prince.

Even if his son is in the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter.

Of course, he won't call Fang Yiai back.

This is absolutely impossible.

In any case, he had to leave one more way out for the Fang family.

"Get ready, the old man is going to enter the palace." Fang Xuanling, who had been pondering in his own hall for a day, suddenly got up and said.

Obviously, he already had a rough idea.

When the steward heard this, he immediately went to prepare a carriage for him.

Not long after, Fang Xuanling entered the palace.

It is still the Liangyi Palace, but at this time, in addition to those palace maids and eunuchs, there are only two of them.

"Fang Qing, is this something important?" Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling very strangely.

It stands to reason that as Fang Xuanling's identity, he shouldn't make this kind of mistake, but Fang Xuanling made it, which is intriguing.

Fang Xuanling sighed, he also knew that he shouldn't be like this, but some things really could only be like this, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister and Qi Guogong and others were ...... before."

He didn't speak directly, but first talked about the results of his previous discussions with Eldest Sun Wuji and others.

Li Er nodded after hearing this, he was still satisfied with these old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and he could still carry them one by one.

Especially at this juncture, everyone's performance is really nothing to blame, even if it is Hou Junji.

"It's bothering the Qing family."

"Eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king, these are all things that the ministers should do." Fang Xuanling immediately said.

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Li Er smiled, he couldn't understand Fang Xuanling a little, Datang's servant shot at the court, and actually committed two taboos as officials in a short period of time, which is a little interesting.

He didn't believe that Fang Xuanling didn't know, but Fang Xuanling knew it, but he still did it, which is very revealing.

Fang Xuanling has a purpose!

After having this idea, Li Er didn't say anything more, just looked at Fang Xuanling like this, he wanted to take a look, and see what the purpose of Datang, the head of civil officials, was.

Fang Xuanling is such a smart person, seeing that Li Er didn't speak, he immediately knew that his little bit of caution had been noticed by Li Er, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we haven't done enough. ”

"Not enough?" Li Er was obviously stunned, if you want to say, Datang has indeed done a lot now, but the key is that what can be done is actually limited.

After all, Li Chengqian is now in Chang'an, the mountain is far away from the emperor, and he also has his own inherent territory, even if Li Er wants to curb Li Chengqian's development, he can only do it on the Tang side.

"Not enough." Fang Xuanling said, "Now His Royal Highness has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, throughout history, when has there ever been a prince with hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"

Although these were all killed by His Highness himself with a knife and a shot, it seems to be a good thing now.

But His Royal Highness, who has an army of hundreds of thousands, is not necessarily a blessing for me, but more likely a curse! ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Li Er was interested.

He understands this.

The crown prince with hundreds of thousands of troops is indeed a blessing in disguise, he understands this truth, better than anyone else.

But there are some things that he really shouldn't say as a father.

"Why did Fang Qing say that?" Li Er smiled and said, "After all, this is the soldiers and horses that Gao Ming himself killed with one knife and one shot, for my Datang, how can it be a blessing in disguise?" ”

Fang Xuanling sneered in his heart, I didn't say that it was a blessing or a curse, and you began to tamper with my meaning?

Of course, for Li Er's shamelessness, these old ministers have already understood it, but they didn't take it seriously, and immediately smiled: "Your Highness seems to be only fifteen this year......

In one sentence, Li Ergan was directly stunned.

Yes, Li Chengqian is only fifteen this year, and he is fucking a virtual age!

Although he also emerged when he was fifteen years old, he was still far behind Li Chengqian.

The point is that he himself is only in his thirties now, and it is the time when he is in the prime of life, and he has to live for decades in the future.

Li Chengqian, that kid, can he survive?

Even if Li Chengqian can survive, can those elite soldiers under his command survive?

Why are they willing to follow Li Chengqian, isn't it that Li Chengqian has a good future?

"What is Fang Qing going to do?" Li Er asked in a deep voice.

Even if he is unwilling to face it, these problems still have to be faced.

Sometimes, he did not have to guard against Li Chengqian, but the interest group represented by Li Chengqian.

That's how he came back then, could it be that he had to launch the Xuanwumen Incident back then?

No, it's the eldest grandson Wuji, it's Hou Junji, it's Wei Chi Jingde, it's Fang Xuanling, it's Du Ruhui, it's Cheng Biting Jin, it's Qin Qiong, it's Qu Tutong, it's Duan Zhixuan, these guys are persuading day and night!

And why are these people so persistent in persuading Li Er?

Isn't it just to seek his own political demands?

He's been through all of these things, so he really understands!

Sometimes, it is not what Li Chengqian wants to do, but what his subordinates push him to do.

Not to mention, Li Er really sees this thoroughly.

In the original history, Li Chengqian finally embarked on this road and emulated Li Er, but do you say that he is just going his own way?

Not really.

It is the interest groups represented by Hou Junji, Du He, Li Yuanchang and others who are constantly promoting.

The only difference between him and Li Er is that Li Er became it, he didn't, that's all.

Fang Xuanling is also a first-hand witness of these things, so he also understands this truth, and he still remembers that they knew that Li Er obviously had this idea, but they still persuaded them for a long time before there was a change in the Xuanwu Gate later.

You know, they were more attentive than Li Er at that time!

Because his position is different.

As a courtier at that time, he was very clear about one thing, that is, they didn't strike first, and when Li Jiancheng really took the throne, they didn't know if Li Er would die, but they were afraid that none of them would end well.

Therefore, he understands the thoughts of Li Chengqian's subordinates better.

Even if they don't do anything now, it doesn't mean that they will always be so restrained in the future.

If it were really a few years later, the Ming Dynasty, which was sitting on an army of hundreds of thousands, would those guys really have no ideas?

How is it possible, the merit is greater than from the dragon!

That's not how they came to be.

So, be careful, it's a must.

Now, listening to Li Er's question, Fang Xuanling no longer hid it, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, that's what the old minister thinks. ”

"Huh?"

"Now that Daming and my Datang border the place, that is, Taozhou and Hezhou, why don't we combine these two states into one government or set up a big city to protect it.

Then send 100,000 troops to garrison here for a long time, and set up a line of army commanders.

We can trust Your Highness, but those aliens must be guarded against.

If something unspeakable happens in the Ming Dynasty in the future, if my Datang is not a little prepared, wouldn't hundreds of thousands of troops be able to march eastward in an instant?

When the time comes, it will be too late to transfer troops.

Moreover, His Royal Highness wants to make a border trade port, and I Datang can also do it, why do I have to put it in Daming, and what if I put it in Datang?

If we also have a trade port, for my Datang, it will actually be beneficial and harmless.

At that time, we can completely let the garrison crack down on smuggling, impose heavy taxes on the goods imported by the Ming Dynasty, and control all the export products of our Datang.

The most important thing is that my Datang can use this to build a Northwest Xiongcheng, which is definitely beneficial and harmless to my Datang. ”

When Li Er heard this, he pondered carefully.

Nodding slightly.

He actually understood Fang Xuanling's purpose in doing this.

But that's not all.

But for another purpose, Fang Xuanling will not announce it, and there are some things that can only be understood but not spoken.

After pondering for a while, Li Er asked: "Then if you set up a big city to protect it, who does Fang Qing think can do it?" ”

"Qi Guogong." Fang Xuanling said with a smile, "Qi Guogong should be the most suitable candidate, whether it is in terms of identity or relationship with His Royal Highness, at the moment, he is none other than him." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji?

Li Er just reacted instantly, Fang Xuanling is still selfish.

But for him, he really doesn't care if the courtiers under him are selfish or not.

In Li Er's words, a courtier who is a little selfish is a good courtier, I am afraid that the kind of courtier who has no selfishness at all, just like a saint, this kind of courtier is the most disgusting to Li Er.

He can't be a saint, it's doomed, so he doesn't want to deal with saints, saints, then he should eat ingots candle ashes.

But think about it again, Fang Xuanling is afraid that he came this time after being fully prepared.

Not to mention, the eldest grandson Wuji is really the most suitable candidate.

First, the eldest grandson Wuji now has no serious errands in the court, and he is not wronged by being protected by the outside.

The key is that this one is really the one who can make the most achievements.

If the eldest grandson Wuji can build a northwest Xiongcheng in the future, it will be his political achievement, even if the eldest grandson Wuji knows that this is a ploy given to him by Fang Xuanling, he can't complain openly.

Moreover, there are treaty ports, and it is really not difficult to build a Xiongcheng in the northwest.

After all, the commodities produced by Daming today are the most sought-after in Datang!

Of course, for Li Er, the reason why the eldest grandson Wuji is the most suitable candidate is not these, for him, the eldest grandson Wuji is the most worthy of his trust.

At this point, he won't worry about it at all.

"The auxiliary machine is indeed suitable, what does the marching chief think?" Li Er asked.

Fang Xuanling was not surprised that Li Er accepted his opinion, he had indeed been thinking about the problem from Li Er's point of view, even if he was not very accurate at times, but the problem was not too big.

After all, the emperor's mind is not something that he can speculate on as a courtier.

Of course, this is just saying that, who of them hasn't figured out Li Er's thoughts?

Speaking of the marching commander, Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Wu Guogong is the most suitable." ”

Li Er smiled, and it was as he thought.

Who is Wu Guogong?

That is Wei Chi Jingde, among the generals, Li Er's most trusted person!

Moreover, this old thing, don't look at his big grin, but in the general direction, he never missed.

If it weren't for Li Er's death, Wei Chi Jingde would have been killed by Li Yuanji.

If he is allowed to sit in the northwest, he is really a suitable candidate.

"Let's wait." Li Er said with a smile, "This old boy didn't take much advantage in Goguryeo, if I don't get some face back on Xue Yantuo at this time, I'm really afraid that this old boy will dare to resist the decree." ”

That's what he said, in fact, he knew that if he really issued an order to summon Wei Chi Jingde back to Beijing, Wei Chi Jingde would really not resist the order.

However, he needs to take Xue Yantuo quickly now, anyway, the matter in the northwest is not in a hurry.

And this matter was not settled so quickly, and he would have to discuss it with the courtiers again, and he also needed to ask the eldest grandson Wuji what he meant.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "That's natural, wait first, it's not too anxious anyway." ”

Although they all wanted to guard against Li Chengqian, for them, Li Chengqian was not able to threaten Datang so quickly.

After all, Li Chengqian has just ended the war, and it will take some time for the internal governance to be managed.

"It's been hard work for Fang Qing recently." Li Er said, "Come on, give ......"

Li Er is like this, what you have done has satisfied me, and there are naturally not a few rewards, and he is not stingy with rewards.

Of course, in the early Tang Dynasty, the things rewarded were not very luxurious, but what Fang Xuanling valued was not luxury or not, but mainly Li Er's attitude.

Li Er has this thought, which means that he has not done anything wrong this time.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, Fang Xuanling took a big risk today.

For this reason, he even gave Li Er a chance to catch his two pigtails, just to show his loyalty.

Otherwise, as the head of the civil officials of the Tang Dynasty, he has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how could he make two mistakes in a row.

Isn't it just to let Li Er understand his thoughts?

Being an official, where is it so easy, a wrong step may be the result of a catastrophe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing and saluting, Fang Xuanling also got up to say goodbye.

Today's goal is achieved.

Watching Fang Xuanling leave, Li Er smiled.

"This old guy is really getting older and finer, and the auxiliary machine wants to have two tricks with him, but he is still a little tender." Li Er smiled, "It's okay, it's not bad to go through the experience." ”

He knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was now openly and secretly trying to fight with Fang Xuanling, but now it seemed that the eldest grandson Wuji was still younger.
