Chapter 49: The Competition

Di Renjie is very entangled, Li Xian will be very smooth as the crown prince, as long as he can return to Beijing, it is also possible to be the emperor in His Majesty's lifetime. Wudan, eating in the palace for a few more years is indeed more "suitable" to be an emperor.

Standing long? Lixian? So many teenagers and countless emperors have not solved the problem.

In this matter, the princess naturally wants to discuss it with Wu Dan, and the matter has come to this point, the love on the surface, the private struggle, the family affection that goes deep into the bone marrow, and the power that they are unwilling to stop, the two are also very contradictory. The time has come to have an open and honest discussion.

After being informed, Wu Dan naturally agreed to this matter.

In 686 AD, the princess and Li Xian had their first detailed discussion.

The history is rich and colorful, and there will never be a shortage of people who have killed their wives and children for the sake of fame, and have endured for decades. In particular, a careerist similar to Wang Mang who can be a saint for ten years actually increases the difficulty of being a clean official for many loyal ministers in later generations.

The Li family regards the world as their own property, and Shen Sanwen is still an outsider compared to the martial queen who has survived and the princess.

Wu Dan still occupies the highest point of justice, Li Xian has the ignorant woman Wei by his side, and the princess has Shen Sanwen by his side, who seems to have no desires and no desires, and what about Li Xian's side? His wife and favorite concubines are all gone. There is no dictatorship of foreign relatives, which is not an advantage.

Is Shen Sanwen's motive suspicious? Not suspicious. Ambitious people will live a slow life, only guarding one acre and three points of land, and easily exposing coveted abilities? The princess believed in her own vision of seeing people, and also believed in Emperor Wu's wisdom to know people, but Wu Dan didn't believe it.

Well, this is a never-ending and never-ending argument, and listening to Wudan's various analyses and remarks, the princess is afraid that she will think that she is the culprit of stealing her mother's wealth and giving it to her husband's family.

However, she did not debate with Wu Dan, nor did she need to convince him, this move was just to inform the fact that it was impossible to change, and she was about to enter the battle for the prince. With the consent of Emperor Wu, as long as he wants, he can enter the court without anyone's consent.

The timing of the notice is not particularly good, and it will take more than half a year to give birth to Lin'er, so that it can be more convenient to really enter the court to participate in political affairs.

Di Renjie's proposal to establish a prince was rejected for a long time, and Emperor Wu finally gave a sweet date. Wu Dan received the post of governor of Gyeongju, and the princess took the post of governor of Wonju.

Erzhou is located in the north of Luoyang and belongs to Guannei Province. But after these two governors were canonized, except for the current majesty, no one continued to govern the affairs of these two states. This is the test that Emperor Wu gave to the two of them, and it is also a reply to Di Renjie. Whoever can lead a small team and manage these two states well will be able to prove his strength.

There are many female officials in the palace, and the princess herself has a very thick seal, but it is clear that the official position is the first time, and the woman is an official or even a general, although it has always existed, but there is really no basis in the sage book.

This gave Wudan's supporters a good opportunity to attack, first of all, the petty officials to probe whether this woman was an official who was not in accordance with the etiquette law and contrary to the words of the saint.

Isn't this an opposition to His Majesty becoming emperor? Lai Junchen didn't say much, put on a rope and put him in a cell, and he had to die. Has anyone else come forward? Don't stand up and call it a day.

The matter was quickly settled, and there was no need to set off, and it was enough to wait until the free time to inspect the position of the remote leader.

The Shen family was ecstatic, if the daughter-in-law of the Shen family became the crown prince, the emperor would have half of the Shen family's bloodline, what a glory this was. Some people even thought that Shen Xiaowen would be unspeakably expensive in the future.

All of a sudden, Xiaobawang also had many playmates around him, and when he was beaten and angry, he felt that it was an honor.

Shen Sanwen has a new understanding of the self-knowledge of these people. At present, it is a family of four-rank officials, and its imagination has surpassed that of the third-rank officials and the first-rank national princes in the court. The four-rank official is not small, but in Luoyang City, the prime minister has become the national capital of the prisoner in a moment, and it is not much different from the ants.

Shen Sanwen can't be like Emperor Wu, killing relatives to express loyalty is reassuring, he has neither kindness nor grudges with the Shen family, which uncle of the Shen family has not seen for many years, and the Shen brothers are also plain and estranged.

After many years of peace, it was broken with the news of an appointment. If the Shen family is so dissatisfied, how harmful is it to others and themselves? Fortunately, Shen Sanwen was in the Shen family. The Shen family's generation has too poor vision, and they don't have the shrewdness of a businessman, but they succumb to the second uncle who is an official in Luoyang, so they should have no way to use it for themselves, just look at what the next generation can do.

Three days after sending the playmates, the Shen family separated. Splitting up the family in the Great Zhou is an act of being spurned. A family, in order to survive and develop in this era, must unite together, concentrate all the forces together, and use everyone's strength to fight against all possible dooms, the Shen family can do business to a certain scale, which is the result of the efforts of several generations, once separated, each has its own affairs, and the interests are difficult to reconcile, it will be a precursor to the decline of the family. Doing business to provide financial support, being an official to deal with political risks, and a well-informed head of the family to cooperate with the support and supervision of several other houses are the basic social constituent units of this era. The same is true between villages, where the head of a prestigious village cooperates with the local yamen and governs the people of a place, and the people have small families and their own interests, but they obey the decisions of the villagers' representatives.

Now, if it is broken up, everyone can temporarily gain temporary benefits, and the Shen family is still happy to see it happen at this time, split into four veins, and then they will be bullied by the outside world, the patriarch is not well supervised, and the entire family will have to pay the price for it.

It's just a short episode, and it's not a big deal in the capital of Nuoda, so self-destructing the Great Wall makes the Shen family who were initially optimistic sigh.

The Shen Academy is still going on, but there will never be the original Shen family again.

Gyeongju has 10 counties and Wonju has 13 counties, the two states are adjacent to each other, the land, water and climate are similar, and Wonju, which has a slightly larger population, has a slight advantage. The princess has strong financial support, and Wudan also has many years of support from Yulu, so now only the question of who can do good things is left.

The courtiers did not dare to stand in line at this time. First, the King of Luling made many enemies, and before the King of Luling ascended the throne, he might have to be hit by the forces of Wu, Lai, and Xue. Second, the princess is too favored, and the current struggle between the two is too gentlemanly, and they are villains in vain, and neither side is pleased.

Only their respective subordinates regard this battle as important. Wudan's think tank is still not to be underestimated, Di Renjie, Yao Chong, and Zhang Cambodia all have rich experience as officials, and Di Renjie has twice been a county commander, and the people of the world are convinced. The power on the princess's side is not thin, a champion Cui Xuan, a Song Jing, and a leader of the Martial Emperor's personal lineage, but the reputation is weaker than Di Renjie.
