"Your Majesty, this is embarrassing this little minister." However, Xiao Chen still showed some humility first.
"Stop pretending like this to me, and hurry up and make a picture for me, waiting for use." Li Shi saw Xiao Chen's humble look and knew that he was just showing off.
"I think that since the prince and the prince are brothers, it is better not to write the elegiac couplet in a too solemn and solemn way. Although the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers is important, the feelings of brothers are also deep." Xiao Chen suggested.
"Even if Xiao Chen, your words are very popular with me, the Qingqi in my house don't understand this truth, and the things they write are too rigid and rigid." Li Shi nodded and sighed, deeply agreeing with it.
"When the soul comes back, the shadows of flowers on the tower are reflected in the night moon, and the sound of partridges in the wind and rain can't be heard." Xiao Chen came casually.
He remembered that Li Wanjiang was from Chu and always boasted that he was the only one with talents from Chu...
The couplet is simple and easy to understand, both elegant and popular, and also sad and moving, vividly expressing the grief of losing a brother.
Li Shi looked at him for a long time, feeling sad in his heart. Although he and the prince had always been at odds with each other and were not very close at ordinary times, they were the same flesh and blood after all. Not to mention the deep brotherhood, blood was thicker than water.
Especially the sentence 'It can't be done' touched him deeply. His eyes were slightly red, but the emotion at this moment was rarely real.
His sadness has another meaning, that is, the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox.
This prince's brother was killed by his father himself. If he dies, how long can he live?
So it not only hurts my brother's death, but also hurts myself.
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences and accept the change." Xiao Chen said.
Li Shi wiped his eyes and talked about business.
"Xiao Chen, the prince's death has implicated many officials in the court. Many of them are actually innocent, and they are not princelings at all. They just have contact with the prince through letters, and some have little relationship with the prince.
No, but he was also imprisoned on trumped-up charges..."
"Your Majesty is venting your anger on others. The prince's death was all caused by them. Now everyone in the court is in danger. They don't know when bad luck will happen to them. Everyone has no intention of doing anything. However, the investigation is
There is no intention of stopping yet, what will happen if this continues?"
"So I plan to talk to the emperor and ask him to stop the investigation. In order to reassure all officials, no one else dares to talk to my father about this matter, so I am the only one here." After Li Shi said this, he was still deeply moved.
He sighed, looking worried about the country and the people.
This was also the result of a long discussion between him and his subordinates. Everyone believed that the opportunity would come as soon as the prince died. Because according to the order of succession, he should be the prince of Jiangdong, Li Shi!
A country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a heir for a day. When the funeral of the prince is completed, I am afraid it will be put on the agenda.
Now the emperor is vigorously investigating and punishing the princelings, which has spread too widely, causing everyone to be in danger, because the emperor is in pain of hurting his son, and no princes or ministers in the dynasty dare to make a memorial to dissuade him, so it is up to you, the prince, to step forward.
Firstly, this can win over people's hearts and lay a solid foundation for them to support you as the crown prince in the future. Secondly, it can also show your decision-making in major matters and impress the emperor.
After all, this is a matter of great benefit and no harm.
But Li Shi always felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate, so he hesitated and called Xiao Chen today to ask him whether it was a lie to ask him to make an elegiac couplet, and whether it was true to ask him for his opinion.
"If the prince decides to do this, then I won't leave yet." Xiao Chen said.
"Huh? Why?" Li Shi was stunned.
"Just wait a few more days to attend your funeral, my lord!" Xiao Chen sneered.
"What did you say?" Li Shi was shocked and angry when he heard this. What do you mean?
"Anyone can give advice on this matter, but you, my lord, can't! Don't think about the court, the officials, or the world. My lord, haven't you figured out who is the biggest?" Xiao Chen said bluntly.
The emperor is the greatest!
The emperor is neither crazy nor stupid. Doesn't he know what bad consequences his actions will bring?
Why do you insist on doing it even though you know it's not good?
It is to establish the majesty of his emperor!
He had tolerated the officials for a long time before, but this time he broke out, just like the Yellow River bursting its banks, and no one could stop it.
Whoever stands in his way will die!
So you can't build a dam to block it, but you should dredge communication and let the flood flow out happily. You can do this in secret, and you don't have to tell the emperor. Anyway, he knows everything in his heart.
In the final analysis, you just have to follow his will. You can't be tough, you have to be gentle.
The emperor hates forming cliques for personal gain. If the prince has a princeling party, doesn’t your prince have a princeling party? The emperor just got rid of a princeling party, but you want to take the opportunity to win over people and strengthen the party members. Is it ridiculous?
Don't listen to the nonsense said by those stubborn people, about the country being more important and the king being less important... No matter when it comes, the king is the most important!
Of course, except Mingjun, but is Li Wanjiang a Mingjun? Obviously not.
Chen Jisheng said that the first-class kings rule the country with wisdom, the second-class kings rule the country with benevolence and trust, and Li Wanjiang rules the country with majesty, a third-rate king.
"Xiao Chen said it thoroughly!" Li Shi's back was covered in cold sweat, but the doubts in his heart were also solved.
Because Xiao Chen's thoughts were exactly the same as his.
Boy, a scholar of the country.
"These are all my humble opinions, but they all come from my heart. I dare not hide them from the prince, but it is up to the prince to make his own decision on what to do." Xiao Chen said.
"Well, I have made a decision." Li Shi looked at Xiao Chen with something wrong in his eyes. If this boy can really be used by him, Juebi can be his right-hand man.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Your Majesty thinks who will inherit the crown prince's position after his death?" Xiao Ye said suddenly.
"Huh? This, this..." Li Shixin said it's such a sensitive question. How do you want me to answer it?
If you tell the truth, then of course it’s me, the king, but if you tell lies, I don’t want to.
Now the only one who can compete with me for the position of crown prince is King Fengyang. This is a choice between two. Guess who I will choose?
"My lord, why are you still hesitating? Of course it's Prince Fengyang!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Ah?" Li Shixin said, "Who do you belong to?"
"If the emperor doesn't ask you, forget it. If he asks you, you must recommend Li Feng. If the emperor hesitates, you will force him to death. You can hit the wall if necessary. The maximum speed of this wheelchair is comparable to that of a running bull.
It will definitely be no problem if you hit your head and get bleeding." Xiao Chen said.
"You kid really are..." Li Shi is very unaccustomed to Xiao Chen's direct remonstrances. If you weren't a kid, why couldn't you say it more tactfully? It's not that I don't understand!
"Also, I heard that Your Majesty, you are neither greedy for money nor lustful. How can this be okay? To be honest with you, I am a eunuch who dreams about Duke Zhou all day long. How can you, Your Majesty, be a grown man and not lustful?
?You are neither lustful nor greedy for money, so what do you want?"
Xiao Chen's question can be said to be quite sharp.
