Liu Yan nodded, "I understand, Beizhi is only worried that Yu Chaoen will not hand over the Anxi Army."
"Don't worry about Yu Chaoen. I'll ask the Dugu family to deal with him."
"Then things will be easier to handle. In addition, today I heard news that the emperor is going to appoint the King of Yue Li Xi as the general marshal of the world's troops. This was the original position of the crown prince. Now that the king of Yue Li Xi is asked to take over, does it mean that the crown prince has been deposed?
?”
Li Ye nodded and said: "This is another thing I asked you about today. I will write to the court early tomorrow morning, clearly opposing the establishment of King Yong as the crown prince. In addition, you can tell Wei Jiansu verbally that I suggest changing it."
The title of King Yong as the emperor's heir is only the emperor's heir, not the same as the East Palace."
"In this kind of battle for the throne, I humbly advise Your Highness not to get involved easily!"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not hot-headed. I made the decision after careful consideration. It's a big deal. I'll tell you slowly later."
Liu Yan suddenly thought of something and nodded, "I understand, Your Highness, you might as well write me a note. Tomorrow morning, I will continue to negotiate with Wei Jiansu."
Li Ye immediately asked for pen and ink and a blank document, wrote a memorial, and stamped it with his seal.
Father, son and brothers are fighting for the throne. How can I stay out of it?
When he returned to his parents' house, it was already late at night and his parents had already rested. Li Ye returned to his yard, the lights were still on, and Qing Yu was still waiting for him.
As soon as he walked into the yard, the door opened and Qing Yu ran out of the house and threw herself into his arms.
"Why did you come back just now?" Qingyu asked with a pout.
"There was a lot going on today and I visited a lot of people."
Li Ye kissed her red lips and said with a smile: "I'll give you a good thing!"
"What good stuff?"
Li Ye pulled her into the room, took out the gem necklace from his arms, and put it around her neck.
"This gem is so beautiful!" Qingyu exclaimed.
"This is the most beautiful gem in the world. I have ten of them in total. Your eldest sister and second sister both have them. This one is yours. It's called Heart of the Prairie. Do you like it?"
"I really like!"
Qingyu was moved in her heart. She put her arms around her husband's neck and kissed her gently. After a long time, Qingyu whispered in his ear and gasped: "Husband, let's start the seed planting plan tomorrow!"
Li Ye was a little drunk. He picked up Qing Yu's legs and strode towards the inner room.
Early the next morning, Li Ye went to Prince Ning's Mansion to visit Li Lin.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Li Lin has aged too much, her hair has turned white, she has lost all her elegance, and is so thin that only a handful of bones remain, like an old man who is about to finish his life.
"Is the prince ill?" Li Ye was surprised by the state of Li Lin in front of him.
Li Lin lay on the couch, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Unfortunately, I was assassinated at the beginning of the year and lost half my life."
Li Ye was shocked and asked: "The prince was assassinated, who did it?"
"I followed the Supreme Emperor to Bashu. Last year I wanted to come back, but King Yong didn't agree. So at the beginning of the year I forced my way back. As a result, I was shot by an arrow in Ziwu Valley and almost died. Although I was saved, half of my life was still lost."
"Did King Yong assassinate the prince?"
"Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who is cruel and ruthless!"
Next to him, Li Lin's eldest son Dai Guogong Li Yi said angrily: "Not only that, all the wealth we brought to Bashu was swallowed up by King Yong, and the two million yuan of wealth was just gone. Your Highness knows why he was able to recruit one hundred thousand
Come on, army! It’s all the wealth of us royal families.”
"I heard that the Supreme Emperor was also forced to become a monk!"
Li Lin sneered softly and said: "The Emperor will never be willing to be a Taoist priest."
Li Ye was silent for a moment and said: "Please be patient and recuperate. King Yong has done many unjust things and there will be retribution!"
After leaving Prince Ning's Mansion, Li Ye thought for a long time and immediately said to his soldiers: "Go to Anrenfang!"
Anrenfang is the residence of Dugu Ming. Li Ye still has some questions in his mind, and he wants to ask them clearly.
The negotiations between Liu Yan and Zhengshitang were still going on. According to Li Ye's wishes, Liu Yan simply revealed all his cards and made their conditions clear.
Wei Jiansu hurried to the imperial study and waited at the door for a moment. The eunuch Han Fengen came out and said: "Prime Minister, your majesty invites you in."
Wei Jiansu gave him a disgusted look. They all knew now that Han Fengen was Li Fuguo's confidant. With him by his side, Li Fuguo was also by his side. But the emperor didn't care, leaving them helpless.
Wei Jiansu walked into the imperial study, bowed and saluted, "See your majesty!"
The emperor Li Heng was reading the prince's resignation. Li Heng himself didn't know when he suddenly felt an unspeakable hatred for his eldest son, just like his father hated them back then. He didn't know that this was called emperor's disease, and only the emperor
Only people have this kind of mental illness and hate their heirs. The older they get, the deeper the hatred becomes.
The emperor generally likes his younger son, because the younger son poses less of a threat to the throne, and the love between father and son will far outweigh the emperor's illness.
The sniping attack by the Quanhuan Group, the wind blowing by Empress Zhang, and the killing of the Supreme Emperor. In fact, these are not the real reasons. The real reason is Li Heng. Especially for an emperor like him who launched a mutiny and came to power, he is full of hatred and dissatisfaction towards the prince.
trust.
Li Heng put down the prince's resignation letter and asked, "What's going on with the Prime Minister?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Li Ye's conditions for sending troops have been presented today."
Li Heng immediately asked: "What did they say?"
"They actually asked for three conditions. The first condition was relatively simple. They wanted a thousand craftsmen, and the Zhengshitang agreed to this condition. Then the second condition was expected by Wei Chen. Li Ye wanted to serve as the governor of Shuofang.
, His Majesty also agreed before."
Li Heng nodded. During the last discussion, he did express his agreement. The key was that Shuofang was already under the control of the Helong Army. Appointing Li Ye concurrently as the governor of Shuofang was actually just forcing him to admit his occupation of Shuofang.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not admit it, but in exchange for Li Ye sending troops, as a bargaining chip, he could admit it.
"I can agree to these two conditions, what other conditions do they have?"
"They have another condition, which is that the other party wants the Jingyuan Army and the Shangzhou Army, a total of fifteen thousand people."
Li Heng immediately understood that the Jingyuan Army and the Shangzhou Army were the Anxi Army, and Li Ye wanted to hold the Anxi Army in his hands. He thought for a moment and asked: "What is the opinion of the Political Affairs Hall?"
Of course, the Zhengshitang would agree that it is definitely not a good thing for the Anxi Army to be controlled by the Quanhuan Group. Why not use Li Ye's help to weaken the power of the Quanhuan Group?
Wei Jiansu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the political hall is most worried about the other party asking for money and food, but Li Ye has made it clear that he does not want a penny from the court or a grain of food from the court, so we should also show some sincerity. We all think that,
Li Ye's conditions for the Anxi Army are not excessive. He was once the governor of Anxi and he has deep feelings for the Anxi Army. We should fulfill his request, and Li Ye also gave us a big gift today."
"What kind of gift?"
Wei Jiansu presented a memorial from Li Ye to the emperor, "Li Ye clearly opposed the canonization of King Yong as the emperor's younger brother. This is his petition, please read it to your majesty!"
Li Heng was suddenly surprised and delighted. He quickly took the memorial and took a closer look. Although he wanted to depose the crown prince, it did not mean that he wanted to establish King Yong as the crown prince. He just wanted to use King Yong as a buffer to survive the Supreme Queen.
Abolish the crown prince and establish a new crown prince.
But when the news spread that he agreed to establish the crown prince, Li Heng was generally opposed by the courtiers. They all believed that this was too hasty and absurd. How could such a major event as the crown prince be treated as a child's play?
Li Heng also felt the tremendous pressure from the government and the opposition. He could only explain to the officials that it was too late now. Jun Wu joked that since he had promised the Supreme Emperor, how could he take back the order now?
During this time, he has been worried about this matter, but he has nothing to do. Now Li Ye's objection gives him a glimmer of hope. The objections of others are not enough, but Li Ye's objection can be used as an excuse.
He looked at Li Ye's memorial, and the tone in the memorial was very sharp, "I was shocked when I heard that Your Majesty wanted to confer King Yong as the emperor's younger brother. King Yong has neither earth-shattering achievements nor unparalleled talent, so what virtue does he have?"
How dare you accept the country of the Tang Dynasty?
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fought bloody battles on the battlefield. King Yong lived in Bashu, singing and dancing to promote peace. All the officials worked hard to govern and discussed the plan to eliminate thieves. King Yong made no achievements and was mediocre. His Majesty appointed him as the crown prince. This is a misfortune for the country and the people.
, It is the misfortune of the officers and soldiers of the three armies. Although the humble ministers are humble, they can still represent the will of the 200,000 officers and soldiers of Helong and resolutely oppose the establishment of King Yong as the emperor's brother!'
Li Heng's face twitched, especially the last sentence, 'Representing the will of Helong's two hundred thousand soldiers, we firmly oppose the establishment of King Yong as the crown prince!' He was really shocked. This was not only opposition, but also a deterrent.
Already.
