Chapter 1844 The Princess

"You actually know Princess Wannian." Chen Xi said in a little surprised.

"Chang'an, I'm more familiar to you." Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi and said, "I often came to check out this place for a while."

"..." Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and inexplicably heard some story-like things. He was a little curious, but Jia Xu stopped talking.

"But combined with what you said before, although it is a bit ridiculous, it makes sense when you think about it this way. The Wanneng Elder Princess is indeed very suitable for the regent. At this time, it is not suitable for anyone to take office. The regent of the eldest princess can indeed be said by the regent." Jia Xu touched his chin and said.

"You think it's good too?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said. If Jia Xu can agree, it means that this matter is very executable.

"It's good, but you need to consider something else." Jia Xu shook his head and said.

"To put it bluntly, it is a compromise. Let's compromise with each other. Now this is the best solution." Chen Xi said to Jia Xu.

"It's not what you think, but Princess Wannian may not be willing to be regent. She has not appeared in front of us in the Weiyang Fire. How could she not understand what happened? And based on my previous understanding of her, there is a high possibility that she will not be willing." Jia Xu shrugged and said.

"I feel like you are very familiar with her?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"Well, Tang Ji is her sister-in-law. I think you understand the chaos in Luoyang at that time. Maybe the relationship between the two was not very good before, and it was not easy to have a shelter at that time." Jia Xu sighed and said, "So she is not feeling well for me."

The two talked and chatted, and soon arrived at the courtyard of Princess Wannian, with the door closed. Jia Xu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then stepped aside.

After a while, a woman in mourning clothes with a slightly red eyes opened the gate of the courtyard, looked at the two people at the door, bowed to Jia Xu and said, "I have met Shangshu Jia."

"Princess Wannian doesn't have to be too polite." Jia Xu quickly returned the gift, "I am no longer the Minister of Shang, this is Chen Sinong." Chen Xi also bowed to the other party and greeted him, and Princess Wannian also returned the gift to Chen Xi.

"I wonder what you two are here?" Princess Wannian obviously had no intention of letting Chen Xi and Jia Xu in, and asked at the door.

"Since the princess is wearing filial piety clothes, I think she already knows what was born in Weiyang Palace. I also ask the princess to come forward to preside over the funeral matters." Jia Xu sighed and said.

"This matter will be handled by Zongzheng. Wannian is only a woman. She can sacrifice her younger brother in the courtyard, just like she did when she was sacrificing her father and brother." Princess Wannian said calmly, but when she mentioned her father and brother, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Jia Xu looked at Princess Wannian and felt helpless, "In fact, I waited for this, not only to hope that the princess would preside over the funeral matter, but also hoped that the princess would take charge of the government affairs on behalf of the general manager during this period of the throne and avoid national turmoil."

Princess Wannian was shocked when she heard this, and then shook her head silently to say that she would not get involved. Then Jia Xu looked at Chen Xi. He had known that this would be the result. Anyone who suffered so many years would have a better memory, not to mention that Princess Wannian is not stupid.

"I wonder what your princess is taboo about?" Chen Xi immediately stepped forward and asked.

The Wannian Princess refused to answer, Chen Xi felt helpless. Since that was the case, he could only force the king to take action. "Since the princess agreed, we will announce this matter in three days. Most of the officials in Chang'an have died in the Chang'an Rebellion last night, and the princess will be regent at that time."

Princess Wannian immediately stumbled on her chest when she heard this, "You Chen Zichuan, you are not afraid of being stabbed by others in your backbone, are you a Han minister?"

"Oh, then you are the eldest princess?" Chen Xi asked in a hurry.

"Hmph, you know that I am the eldest princess, but you dare to treat me like this. Do you still have the Han Dynasty in your heart?" Princess Wannian scolded angrily.

"As the eldest princess of the late emperor's sister, she doesn't care about the rules of the Han Dynasty. Why should we be the ministers take it seriously?" Chen Xi retorted bluntly, "If you, as heirs, do not protect the world, why should we maintain it?"

"..." Princess Wannian was silent and said after a while, "You just need a puppet, and you also blatantly demand that the eldest princess be regent and such an unscrupulous way. Even if I agree, I will be controlled by you. Since this is the case, why should I agree? The world of the Han Dynasty was no longer the same as my father passed away."

"Tell you the truth. I will not stop Liu Xuande from ascending the throne. I will not stop Liu Jiyu and Liu Bo'an, the elders who want to ascend the throne. But if they want to take legal documents from me, I am sorry, Liu Tong is not so cheap!" Princess Wannian said with a sneer.

Chen Xi looked at Princess Wannian in amazement. Unexpectedly, there were so many garbage princesses in front of the Han Dynasty. In the last century, a character actually appeared.

"I'm done, do you have anything else to say?" Princess Wannian looked at Chen Xi with a little contempt and said. After her father, the emperor and the emperor's brother passed away one by one, Liu Tong inexplicably felt that his fate might be about to come to an end.

"Oh, there is a lot to say." Chen Xi touched his chin and said, "First, I appreciate your vision and character. If you are a prince, you can't say that without the subsequent events, you are better than your brother."

"The second point is that your vision and mind are bound by the environment you are in. Many of the things you analyze can only be said to be your guesses. If you don't meet them yourself, you may only be blinded by yourself for the rest of your life." Chen Xi looked at the other party calmly.

"The third point is, I have said before, I will declare the regent of the eldest princess. As for whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter." Chen Xi said calmly, "So Your Highness, the core of your rebuttal was wrong from the beginning. You shouldn't rebuttal, you need strength more."

"Is this the same thing about Jia Shangshu?" Princess Wannian's chest kept rising and falling. After suppressing the anger in her heart, she looked at Jia Xu and said.

"Actually, I think the princess should do this better. In fact, whether the princess can be regents now is still a matter of whether we are regents. We are here to invite the princess to regents. In fact, it is just the result of our private discussion." Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and exposed Chen Xi's old truth. Chen Xi looked at Jia Xu unhappily.

Princess Wannian glanced at Chen Xi deeply and fully understood Chen Xi's last sentence, what does it mean to be a private discussion between two people is enough to make her feel like she is facing a great enemy, and it is enough to show her current fragility.

"That's it. This matter is indeed the result of the discussion between the two of us. It should even be said that I raised my head and pulled Jia Wenhe over." Chen Xi looked at Princess Wannian calmly, no longer having the aggressive momentum she had before.

"Why did you choose me?" Princess Wannian looked at Chen Xi and asked.

"Because others are not suitable, as for the legal or not you said, you should ask Emperor Guangwu if this is legal." Chen Xi said calmly, "The greater meaning of inviting the princess to regent is actually to balance."

"Balance?" Princess Wannian asked in confusion.

"A lot of things have happened. The most important thing is that Duke Xuande has no interest in the throne, and our strength is enough to suppress everyone else." Chen Xi looked at Princess Wannian and said solemnly, and Princess Wannian obviously didn't believe it.

"Zichuan said true." Jia Xu took over the conversation and said to Princess Wannian. When he heard this, Wannian's face was obviously clear.

"The situation is a bit complicated now. The lord doesn't want to hurt the foundation of the Han Dynasty, so he will not have any ideas about the throne before the reunification of the world. During this period, you can take charge of the government and earn you some capital." Jia Xu said to Princess Wannian.

"Then what am I going to do?" Princess Wannian asked.

"Stable people's hearts and accumulate capital for you in the future. You can't stay in the palace all the time." Jia Xu sighed and said, "You are already seventeen years old. How many years do you think you have? Instead of crying for the emperor in the North Palace, it's better to do something else."

Princess Wannian looked much ugly when she heard this. She is indeed not young now.

"It's not that you can ascend the throne, it's just that you can stand in front of the stage to stabilize people's hearts, and Wenhe has already made it clear about the benefits." Chen Xi said angrily.

"What else can I do?" Princess Wannian asked, Jia Xu was slightly stunned.

"There are many people who can do it. For example, restoring the reputation of the royal family and giving it a positive reputation can not be used to wash away the debauchery of princesses of all dynasties. You can whitewash yourself. Although you are the result of compromise between various forces in that position, with this position, you can gain both fame and fortune. After all, you are the nominal regent princess." Chen Xi said calmly.

"Is this how?" Princess Wannian lowered her head and thought silently.

Chen Xi was inexplicably a little irritated. The reason why Princess Wannian was actually Chen Xi prepared for the possible cabinet system in a few hundred years. With the record of Princess Wannian, the difficulty of promoting democracy will be greatly reduced when it has to reform in the future.

At least at that time, there is a law to follow. After all, no matter how the historian records it, it will record how the political rule of this era is. This mutual compromise model will inevitably leave a mark in history books. When there is no choice, it will become the standard for future generations to follow.

In this way, when the system changes in later generations, there will be no inevitable pain caused by feeling the stones across the river, and it can be regarded as leaving a way out for future generations.
