Chapter 869 I hope Your Highness will remember that when the emperor’s favor is weak, he should hide his power and bide his time (please subscribe and vote)
Nowadays, "Chang'an Collected Works" is being used to win over the hearts of the learned scholars of the Tang Dynasty.
It is a pity that during this period of time, even the officials of the East Palace and the court officials have openly and secretly impeached the prince.
When you reach His Majesty's place, you will be like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to even stir up a wave.
However, Jiang Yaqing didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it was still a long time. What's more, the monarch was in his prime and the prince was getting older.
Who can predict that there won't be any problems? Think about how the prince Yang Yong ended up in a miserable state during the previous dynasty.
There are even more going forward. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also established a prince early, but what was the result?
The prince who was born in the Wei family also fell under the conspiracy.
As the saying goes, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send carbon at a critical moment. Duke Zhao Guogong was secretly supporting His Highness the King of Wei.
Moreover, there are many Cong family members who are helping me. If there are changes in the country in the future, I may be able to become a minister of Conglong.
Look at how Fang Xuanling was able to stay in phase for a long time. Isn't it just because of his ability to follow the dragon?
When they arrived at the palace of Prince Wei, all the guards in the palace were waiting for him. When they saw Jiang Yaqing, they all respectfully addressed him as Mr. Jiang.
Jiang Yaqing suppressed her inner pride, continued to remain modest and calm on the outside, and headed towards Li Tai's study.
Without letting Li Tai wait too long, Jiang Yaqing walked into Li Tai's study and bowed to Li Tai respectfully.
"I have met His Highness."
"Mr. Jiang, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly..." Li Tai turned around and said with a forced smile.
"I noticed that Your Highness looks unhappy. Could it be that something is bothering you?" After Jiang Yaqing sat down, he looked at Li Tai's expression and asked with concern.
"Alas...this is the imperial edict from my father. Mr. Jiang, you will know it as soon as you see it."
King Li Tai of Wei pointed to the handwritten edict on the table with some displeasure and said.
#####
Jiang Yaqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she reached out to pick up the edict and opened it.
After a while, Jiang Yaqing's face also became very ugly.
"Your Majesty, this... is this too inappropriate? Your Majesty, the "Chang'an Collected Works" that you preside over is a place to publish the exquisite articles of the literati of our dynasty."
"It was okay before, but now, even that filthy beast wants to be included in the "Chang'an Collected Works"."
Hearing Jiang Yaqing's words scratched Li Tai's heart, and he nodded in agreement.
"What you said makes sense, and I think it is inappropriate. However, my father always likes to act arbitrarily."
"If it had been in the past and my king had spoken, my father might have been able to listen to a few words, but after the prince recovered from his illness."
Li Tai sat down gloomily, trying hard to keep his expression from looking too ferocious.
"My father seems to have become a lot colder towards me, but I have done nothing wrong, so why should he..."
Listening to King Li Tai of Wei venting his complaints about how his Majesty doesn't know people well, is nepotistic, and treats Cheng Sanlang, a vulgar warrior, better than his own son.
In short, Jiang Yaqing broke out in a cold sweat after hearing King Wei's complaints. If these words were spread, it would definitely be a big deal.
"Your Highness, please calm down the wrath of Thunder. Now that this has happened, what are your plans?"
Li Tai looked at the edict with disgust on his face, and his eyes twitched. "What else can I do? Of course I respect my father's orders."
"Your Highness did the right thing. Now, for Your Highness, the only way to show respect to His Majesty is the best thing to do."
Li Tai looked at Jiang Yaqing with some displeasure, facing the King of Wei Li Tai who had a bad temper and was pitifully small-minded.
Jiang Yaqing said without changing her expression. "However, the "Chang'an Collected Works" can be postponed and we will only follow His Majesty's instructions to publicize that the prince gave a hundred pigs to feed the people."
Li Tai couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he calculated carefully. "Sir, what you mean is that there is no need to use the name of "Chang'an Collected Works"?"
"Exactly, we only need to print and distribute tens of thousands of notices separately. After the incident of the prince giving a hundred pigs to the people is over, a new issue of "Chang'an Collected Works" will be put on the market."
"Only in this way can we not only fulfill His Highness's wish to respect his father's life, but also maintain the elegance of the "Chang'an Collected Works"..."
After listening to Jiang Yaqing's analysis, Li Tai's face finally gradually lost its gloominess, revealing a cheerful smile.
Then he stood up with some difficulty and saluted Jiang Yaqing.
"Thank you very much for your help, sir, otherwise, I would really be helpless."
Jiang Yaqing stood up and returned the salute to Wei King Li Tai with a smile.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be too modest. Your Highness is just depressed for the moment and has not thought about it.
It’s just Jiang who didn’t say anything, believing that as long as His Highness is given some time, His Highness will naturally have a good plan to deal with it.”
Faced with such a pleasing flattery, King Wei Li Tai couldn't help but look happy.
But when I think about my father's attitude towards me now, I can't help but feel a little heartbroken.
How could Jiang Yaqing on the side not notice it? Hehehe said happily.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. I think that if Your Highness is depressed, you should not relieve your fatigue with poems and books, but should read history to clarify your aspirations..."
Wei King Li Tai was distracted and asked subconsciously, "What history can make clear the will?"
"The "Book of the Sui Dynasty, The Second Chronicle of Emperor Gao Zu Xia" was just compiled not long ago, or the "Book of the Han Dynasty, Volume Six, The Chronicle of the Emperor Wu".
After Jiang Yaqing finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Wei King Li Tai.
"Your Highness, I hope that your Highness will remember that when the emperor's favor is weak, he should hide his power and bide his time to wait for the opportunity."
Although King Li Tai of Wei was a fat man, he was still a wise man after all. Hearing these words, he still didn't understand what Jiang Yaqing meant.
Immediately his face changed drastically, and he glared at Jiang Yaqing fiercely.
Jiang Yaqing looked at Wei King Li Tai with a calm expression, and slowly prostrated to the ground.
"Your Highness is extremely intelligent, thrifty, benevolent and forgiving, and has the appearance of a famous monarch and the manners of a benevolent monarch..."
"Although I have little talent and little knowledge, I have been treated well by His Highness. How can I not repay His Highness with my heart and mind?"
King Li Tai of Wei looked at Jiang Yaqing, who had made suggestions for him several times, but now took the initiative to pierce the window paper.
Finally, after letting out a long sigh, he leaned over and helped Jiang Yaqing up with difficulty and said.
"Sir, please come quickly. Alas... Sir, you should be extremely cautious. I know your thoughts, and I hope you can make more plans for me..."
King Li Tai of Wei personally sent Jiang Yaqing to the door of the mansion. After thinking about it, he reached out and touched his body, but he could not touch the precious jade he usually wore.
He simply gritted his teeth, took off the rhinoceros belt from his waist, stuffed it into Jiang Yaqing's hand, and whispered solemnly.
"Sir, if you live up to me, I will reward you generously."
Jiang Yaqing took it with both hands with excitement on her face and thanked her sincerely.
