Chapter 543: The Prince's Dispute
If there is any family with the most experience in seizing the heir, I am afraid that only the Wang family. From Huaiguo to Daqian, the Wang family has not broken out to seize the heir, partly because of the ancestors, and partly because of the Wang family's collection of the succession incident in the Spring and Autumn Period.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were hundreds of countries at most, and although it was not common to seize the heirs, there were hundreds of countries for such a long time, and there was a lot of information that could be collected.
The Wang family sorted out these incidents of succession, so that the descendants of all generations could learn from them, so that they knew how to deal with them, and at the same time did not do these things.
These methods used by Yang Guang, the king of Jin, have appeared many times in the past thousand years of history, and the Wang family naturally has a way to deal with it.
After listening to Wang Xuanjing's words, Yang Yong's expression on his face was a little hesitant, and Wang Xuanjing didn't urge when he saw it, he sat aside and waited quietly.
After a long while, Yang Yong finally made up his mind, and then said to Wang Xuanjing: "Just according to what Mr. said!" ”
Hearing Yang Yong's promise, Wang Xuanjing sighed slightly in his heart, this prince is not strong-willed, these are just trivial things, he has to hesitate for a long time, Wang Xuanjing is not very optimistic about him in his heart.
However, the family needs an emperor who is willing to surrender his rights and has a benevolent personality, and Yang Yong is the most suitable.
Then Yang Yong asked the palace people to put away all the gold and silver ornaments in the East Palace, put on simple clothes, gold silk screens, and depicted gold and jade cases.
At the same time, he ordered someone to prepare simple old clothes and replace them with luxurious clothes.
Next, Yang Yong ordered people to gather the palace people, select the beautiful people among them, give them gold and silver, and prepare to marry them to the lieutenant rate of the prince's six rates, so as to win the hearts of the army.
But when it was time to dismiss his concubine, Yang Yong hesitated for a long time, and the surrounding officials of the East Palace advised him for a long time, but he still didn't make up his mind.
Wang Xuanjing looked at it for a moment, and finally sighed slightly in his heart, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, can you know that you are also the heirs of Your Majesty, why is Your Highness not liked by the two saints?" ”
"Why?" Yang Yong was also very confused in his heart.
"Because the prince is not like a father!" Wang Xuanjing said lightly.
"The saint is the son of Zhu Xia, the queen is the only one in the harem, His Royal Highness is the crown prince, how many concubines are there in the palace?"
"In addition, the Holy Queen is very dissatisfied with His Highness's acceptance of other concubines, and His Highness should also know. His Royal Highness is not like a father, and Our Lady is not happy, how can the position of the crown prince be stable? ”
"If the prince is unwilling, what he just did will be in vain."
Hearing this, Yang Yong finally decided to choose a few in the Fang Market near the East Palace for these concubines to live in.
It took a few days for the East Palace to change greatly, directly from a luxurious palace that originally surpassed Renshou Palace, to a palace that could almost be compared to the Cold Palace.
After everything was ready, Yang Yong wrote another letter of eloquence and confession to the two saints.
Then he personally entered the palace to make a statement to Emperor Yang Jian.
When Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo heard the prince's request to see them, they were a little unhappy in their hearts. I was worried that there would be extravagance below, so I set an example and gave an order to persuade, but as a result, my prince took the lead in violating it, isn't this just a slap in the face?
Look at the second son, smart and studious, modest, and like him, he advocates frugality, and he is also the only favorite princess of Jin, how can the eldest son have such a stinky problem, not to mention in the royal family, even in the family of ordinary scholars, he will also prefer the second son.
But even if they didn't like it in their hearts, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo still met Yang Yong. After seeing Yang Yong, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo were also slightly surprised, the prince, who had always liked luxury and new clothes, actually came wearing an old dress.
Then Yang Jian and Dugu Jia Luo were even more surprised, the crown prince Yang Yong actually publicly and formally admitted his mistakes to them, and wrote to correct his previous mistakes, saying that he was no longer luxurious, but took the lead in frugality. and actually dismissed the palace people and other concubines.
This made Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo suddenly feel relieved.
Looking at Yang Yong's eyes suddenly became much softer, after reading Yang Yong's affectionate book, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo also remembered the family happiness of Yang Yong's family when he was a child, and their hearts were even more touched, and then their attitude towards Yang Yong was even closer.
Yang Yong's eyes were also red, I don't know when he entered the palace to meet the saint was mostly reprimanded, like this kind of warmth he hadn't felt for a long time.
Now he actually feels it again, which also makes him feel in his heart.
"It's not too late for Da Lang to know his mistake now, our Great Sui River is not easy to come by, if our royal family is not thrifty and advocates luxury, the officials and family lords below will definitely follow suit, once the wind of extravagance is everywhere, the world will be chaotic at that time."
"The sons know their mistakes, in the past, the sons only knew their own preferences, but they forgot that the prince's words and deeds also represent the royal family, and in the future, the sons will definitely take their father as an example, promote frugality, do not like luxury, and no longer covet beauty."
"The son implores that the father and the queen mother can send the lieutenant to supervise the son, and if the son has overstepped, remind the son in time." Yang Yong said bitterly, and took the initiative to ask the emperor and empress to send someone to supervise. (Zhongguan is a term for a chamberlain or eunuch.) )
This trick was also taught to him by Wang Xuanjing, asking the emperor to send someone to supervise, not only to supervise, but also to leave a channel of communication with the emperor.
Let the emperor know what the crown prince has done, so as to avoid causing the emperor's suspicion and misunderstanding because of some slander and slander from others.
At the same time, there are lieutenants, and the prince's every move is watched by the emperor, and the emperor knows very well what the prince has done. It's also to avoid other people's tricks.
Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was able to succeed, not only because he was able to endure and pretend to be like Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, but also because he bought a close attendant next to the emperor with a lot of money, which could help him say good and bad, pass on news, and even cut off some news from the prince at critical moments.
Coupled with Yang Su and Dugu Jialuo, Yang Guang blocked almost all of Yang Yong's roads. forced him not to contact the emperor in this way.
Yang Jian listened to the prince's words, his heart moved slightly, he felt that this suggestion was very good, and then after the prince pleaded a few times, he reluctantly agreed, and then sent a close attendant beside him to the palace to supervise.
After a pair of writing, Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo's attitude towards the crown prince Yang Yong changed greatly. After Yang Yong returned to the palace, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and was very happy to find Wang Xuanjing to complain.
Wang Xuanjing listened indifferently, and then continued to persuade: "Your Highness must not get carried away, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, maintain your current state, and at the same time please the saint more." ”
At the same time, the change in the attitude of the Son of Heaven and the Empress towards Yang Yong soon spread throughout Chang'an, and for a time there was a dark tide surging in Chang'an City.
