His Majesty Li Er's face was solemn, showing no signs of joy or anger. He put his hand on the desk, tapped his index finger lightly on the table, and asked slowly: "Ai Qing also supports the prince?"
The connotation of this sentence is too rich, and the danger in it is naturally beyond words. How could Fang Xuanling not know it?
Therefore, he shook his head and said calmly: "I am your Majesty's minister, and I support your Majesty."
His Majesty Li Er snorted and looked unhappy: "Then why did you stay home because you were sick?"
Fang Xuanling sighed and his expression became serious: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country and cannot be touched lightly. You understand this better than the veteran. As a father, it is understandable to have selfish motives. Who is not like this? The veteran prefers Erlang Duo. Some, even if that kid keeps causing trouble all day long. However, a family is a family, and a country is a country. The influence is different and the nature is also different. The prince was registered in the first year of Zhenguan. Although he is not a celestial figure, he has already heard about it. Ruizhe, who has read "Poetry" and "Li" since childhood, and has a kind and kind temperament, is deeply supported by the courtiers. Now the prince has no bad deeds and has never been unfaithful. The hasty exchange of treasures will inevitably cause turmoil in the court, lead to divisions among the ministers, and the world is not at peace. The prosperous and peaceful situation in front of us may very well be destroyed..."
Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was silent, Fang Xuanling lowered his voice slightly and continued: "...The most important thing is that once His Majesty becomes a prince, it will leave an extremely bad impression on future generations - the position of prince It is not determined by status, but it can be planned and prepared! If this is the case, it will inevitably buy the hidden dangers of brothers fighting and fratricide! At that time, every emperor who ascends the throne will be accompanied by a bloody and bloody killing. How can your Majesty bear it? ?”
Although the words were not fully uttered, the meaning was clearly revealed.
You yourself are the second son who rebelled against you and usurped the throne. If you depose the direct eldest son and establish another one, wouldn't it mean that the tradition of the Li and Tang royal family of "brothers looking at the wall and rebelling against you to seize the throne" will be fully established and passed down from generation to generation. ?
The ascension of each generation of emperors is accompanied by fighting and fighting. How many years can the empire last under such endless internal friction?
How to describe and evaluate the royal family of Li and Tang Dynasties in history books?
You have always dreamed of becoming an emperor for eternity, but no matter how many great achievements you make that will shock the past and present, what will be left in the eyes of future generations will only be the cruelty of killing brothers and killing brothers...
Your Majesty Li Er's face was as gloomy as water, extremely ugly.
He is not a mediocre person, he understands everything Fang Xuanling said, but he just doesn't think that the prince Li Chengqian can inherit his wisdom and martial arts and push the Tang Dynasty to a transcendent status far beyond the Qin and Han Dynasties!
But the harm of Yi Chu is really too great... Killing brothers and forcing his father to abdicate is his biggest stain! No matter how many reasons, no matter how many excuses, no matter how hard he works, even if he tampering with history books, it is impossible Clear your name!
Just as Fang Xuanling said, if the descendants of future generations kill each other for the throne of the emperor because of his own actions, then there is a good example left by his ancestors...
The most critical question is, if that situation really happens, even if it succeeds in Yichu today, how long can the Tang Empire, which is trapped in a cycle of internal friction, persist?
His Majesty Li Er is extremely irritable!
Even if you hold the world in your hands and control the power of life and death of hundreds of millions of people, you can't really take everything as going your way...
The breeze blows in from the window, carrying the warm fragrance of flowers.
A series of cicada chirps rang in my ears, making His Majesty Li Er's head hurt...
Taking a deep breath, His Majesty Li Er sighed helplessly and said dejectedly: "Then... let's do it for now. Tomorrow I will restore the prince's qualifications to participate in politics in the upper court. Ai Qing and all the East Palace officials will have more help.
Teaching is the thing, don't let them become arrogant and make mistakes repeatedly, otherwise I will be in trouble again."
Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief.
Although His Majesty's words did not completely dispel Yi Chu's intention, after much consideration, he finally came to a compromise and let the matter go for the time being. However, the Crown Prince was not at peace either, and his previous attitude of staying out of the matter was absolutely unacceptable.
From now on, I have to do things without making mistakes...
How difficult is it?
*****
In a house in Qinglongfang in the south of the city, Qiu Shenji and Gao Xingxing were sitting across from each other having a drink. There was also a short young man with a round face sitting beside them.
The water of Qujiang flows through the courtyard, and the clear waves are rippling. Lotus roots are planted all over the river. The lotus flowers have not yet bloomed. The green lotus leaves are swaying peacefully on the water. Suddenly, a few carps are swimming in the clear water.
Swimming around the lotus stems in the river, enjoying yourself.
The doors and windows in the flower hall are open, and the cool breeze passes through the hall, taking away the stuffy heat.
A carved lacquered square table was placed in the hall, with thick cushions covering the smooth floor. Three people sat around the table, and a pretty maid stood on one side, offering wine and dishes from time to time.
Gao Xingcheng picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This time I want to congratulate you for your success. Changle is dignified and beautiful. She is the most elegant and graceful among the princesses in the royal family. Not to mention that the footsteps of those who wanted to marry her crossed the threshold of Taiji Palace."
, even now, the pursuers are as numerous as the crucian carp crossing the river. The miracle of being able to bring a beautiful woman back has made me envious of many Guanzhong men and Chang'an heroes! Come, come, come, drink the holy wine for this honor!"
Qiu Shenji's ugly face lit up with a smile, and he opened his mouth and said triumphantly: "How can the elder be so polite? I can make my wish come true, thanks to the elder's strategizing, and even more thanks to my father-in-law's love and willingness to join the family."
The palace is proposing marriage to someone. He is a rough man and doesn’t know how to say compliments. He just has one sentence: From now on, wherever the elder brother needs his younger brother, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Looking at Chang'an, there are countless people who covet the Princess of Changle. Even if they are now reconciled with the eldest grandson's family, there are still countless young talents who are flocking to her. Not only the princess's identity, but also her unparalleled beauty, gentle and virtuous personality, are all among the powerful families in Chang'an.
It has been widely circulated among people, and coupled with His Majesty Li Er's favor, who can not be jealous?
The young man beside him smiled slightly, hesitated to speak, and raised his glass to drink together.
Qiu Shenji drank all the wine in the cup, looked at the young man, and said curiously: "Dear brother, do you have something to say? Such hesitation is not your Zhou Xing style. You and I have been friends for many years and are better than brothers, but it doesn't matter."
Zhou Xing glanced at the tall lotus leaves in the river outside the window, and sighed: "Normally, I shouldn't be disappointed... But I have something in my heart, but I don't want to express it. It is certainly a gratifying and congratulatory thing to win Princess Changle.
But has Brother Qiu never thought about the quarrel between Princess Changle and Fang Jun?"
Qiu Shenji was stunned for a moment, but Gao Jingcheng already waved his hand and said with displeasure: "Be careful! Changle and I are related by marriage. It can be said that after watching her grow up, how can we not know her character? She is indeed dignified, polite, virtuous and virtuous. As for Changle,
The scandals rumored by the outside world just started in the market and were speculated by bored people, and there is no such thing as that."
"Brother Gao's words are reasonable, but how often do people in the world make sense?"
Zhou Xing disagreed, holding the wine glass in one hand and pointing to the green lotus leaves outside the window, saying: "I only love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained, washes clear ripples without being evil, is straight in the middle and straight to the outside, does not creep or branch, is fragrant
The scenery is clear from afar, and the pavilions and green plants can be seen from a distance but not played with. A certain person is not good at reading, but he also knows that this "Love of the Lotus" is truly a famous article that is unparalleled in the world. With such an article here, who can
Do you care whether there is an affair between Princess Changle and Fang Jun? Everyone is more willing to rely on their imagination to believe that there is such a relationship, because if supplemented by this article, it will be a good story that will be passed down through the ages!"
Qiu Shenji's face was already dark, but now it looked even more like the bottom of a pot!
What man can stand such idle talk?
What's more, in Qiu Shenji's view, Princess Changle must be very excited if Fang Jun can write such a famous novel. One is a young high-ranking official with amazing talent and beauty who has risen through the ranks, and the other is a royal princess with Zhong Lingyu's beautiful appearance. If nothing happened between these two people,
What's even weirder...
Gao Jishi was a little annoyed. Princess Changle married Qiu Shenji. This was what he wanted to see most. Not only was he a brother-in-law with Qiu Shenji, he was happy to see him marry Princess Changle, a beautiful and smart princess. It was more in line with his own strategy.
.
But now Zhou Xing's words will obviously anger Qiu Shenji. This guy's temper is irritable and rude, even worse than Fang Jun's. If he goes to seek Fang Jun's bad luck at this juncture, wouldn't it lead to sudden setbacks?
He quickly comforted him with kind words and calmed down Qiu Shenji's anger.
"Chang Le is a second-married woman. She is not perfect, so why should she be picky about her performance? As long as she treats you wholeheartedly after getting married, don't be too demanding. Although Chang Le is a princess, she has a gentle temperament and is actually a good person.
Well, besides, if she wasn’t a remarried woman, where would it be your turn?”
This is not a pleasant thing to say, but it is true...
