Several people discussed it and scrutinized the details, and they all felt that Du He's idea was indeed a good one. Not only did it prevent the King of Jin from staying out of the matter and enjoy "protection", but also dragged him into the muddy water of the current chaotic court situation, and he could not stay alone.
He will even receive His Majesty Li Er's approval. Even if His Majesty Li Er still trusts King Jin and thinks that King Jin is a better candidate for crown prince than the Crown Prince, in the final analysis, this is still his wishful thinking. If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty cannot recognize it, he will
Forcibly pushing King Jin to ascend to the throne would not only face many obstacles, but would also create a bad impression of being "arbitrary", which was seriously inconsistent with his persona of "humbly accepting advice and working hard to govern".
Whether it was a mule or a horse, it came out and placed King Jin in front of everyone. Everything was clearly visible. As long as everyone saw King Jin's talent, they would naturally respect him wholeheartedly. If they were to store things easily, they would get twice the result with half the effort and the resistance would be greatly reduced.
If His Majesty Li Er is afraid of the power of the civil servants under the Crown Prince and refuses to let the King of Jin sit on the fire, then the matter of Yi Chu will be even more unfair.
In short, no matter what His Majesty Li Er chooses, the Prince will be in a favorable position...
Li Chengqian raised his palms and exclaimed: "This is a wonderful plan!"
Zhang Xuansu glanced at the proud Du He in surprise and shook his head.
This person's background is comparable to Fang Jun's, but his character, strategy, and achievements are completely different.
At that time, "Fang's plan was overturned" became a popular story. Both Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were His Majesty's humerus. They were so bright that it was difficult to tell them apart. The Chengyang Princess Du He married was the legitimate daughter of His Majesty Li Er and Queen Wende.
, whose status is higher than that of Princess Gaoyang, who lost her mother when she was young and was fostered under Concubine Yang's knees.
Moreover, as soon as Du Hefu got married, he was granted the title of Duke of Xiangyang County and was awarded the rank of Shancheng Fengyu, from the fifth rank. However, when Fang Jun got married, his official position was only one from the fifth rank to the Prince Consort Commandery, although among them was Li.
The reason why His Majesty remembers Du Ruhui and is particularly kind to him, but the fact is that Du He has a better starting point than Fang Jun, and he has the entire Fangling Du family behind him. He is a wealthy Guanzhong family and is higher than the Fang family in Qizhou.
More than enough?
However, to this day, Du He is still just a Shancheng Fengyu who takes turns to serve as a guard in the palace, while Fang Jun has already entered the central government, is in charge of the Ministry of War, and can participate in Henan political affairs.
How could it not be surprising that this man was usually extremely stubborn, ambitious, and impetuous, but he could come up with such an upright "conspiracy"?
Of course, what is important at the moment is not this. Zhang Xuansu looked around and then asked: "Since everyone thinks that Prince Consort Du's strategy is feasible, then who is going to make a proposal to His Majesty and make His Majesty make up his mind to cancel King Jin's order of confinement?
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at Fang Jun.
Not everyone can do this task. First of all, His Majesty must have full trust in him, and secondly, he must ensure that when King Jin is criticized later, His Majesty will not be angry. Otherwise, if His Majesty is determined to have framed King Jin.
If there is any suspicion, then you have to walk around without eating.
Fang Jun shook his head and said, "I can't come forward in this matter."
Du He was a little dissatisfied: "After all, isn't it because I am afraid of being settled by His Majesty afterwards? In the past, I actually judged His Royal Highness King Jing for 'doing great things at the expense of one's own life'. In my opinion, your second roommate is nothing more than that.
He talks a lot, but in fact he is a cunning person who protects himself wisely."
Li Chengqian was startled, fearing that Fang Jun would be angry, so he quickly said: "Du Erlang can't talk nonsense!"
If a fight breaks out, the two Du Hes are no match for Fang Jun...
Du He curled his lips, disapproving.
When he saw Fang Jun, he was frightened from the bottom of his heart, so he became even more inferior and resentful. Today he wanted to confront Fang Jun specifically to let Fang Jun know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Fang Jun didn't argue with him, and poured tea for the people present with a calm expression.
Naturally, there is no Du He...
Yu Zhining took the tea cup and asked: "Erlang can't come forward, but I don't know who can be more suitable than you?"
Fang Jun took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "Of course it's Your Highness."
Everyone was stunned, Zhang Xuansu frowned and said: "It's about the position of Crown Prince, and the only one who can compete with His Highness is the King of Jin. Let His Highness come forward... I'm afraid it's inevitable that there will be something wrong with melon fields and plum blossoms, right?"
Li Chengqian did not question it, but looked at Fang Jun, waiting for him to explain clearly.
He trusted Fang Junzhi far more than anyone else, and knew that since Fang Jun could think that it was more appropriate for him, the prince, to go than others, there would naturally be sufficient reasons.
Fang Jun said sternly: "Your Highness must personally take action in this matter. First of all, as an elder brother, His Highness must love and care for his younger brother. This is the way of brotherhood, friendship and respect. Even if you are facing a reserve crisis, you cannot abandon the love of brotherhood."
, Brotherhood. Furthermore, I also take the opportunity to show His Majesty His Majesty’s confidence that he can handle all government affairs well and never worry that someone will surpass you in government affairs. As a prince, while being gentle, courteous and frugal,
You must have the domineering attitude to look down on the world. Others think that the King of Jin will have an impact on your throne, but His Highness himself must be full of confidence. You are the prince, and the prince is also the king. All heroes and heroes are ministers under your command, not to mention
It’s just His Highness the King of Jin! If he didn’t have this determination and domineering power, how could he inherit the throne and govern the world?”
Yu Zhining exclaimed: "Well said!"
With an excited expression, he looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness has been smart since childhood, has a handsome appearance, is benevolent, filial and pure, and has always been admired by all the ministers in the court. It's just that his character is a little more kind and gentle, and he lacks a little courage as a king.
Your spirit always seems thin and frivolous, failing to show your majesty. What you lack is this kind of self-confidence!"
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He stepped forward, took Li Chengqian's hand, and said loudly: "Your Highness, your name is Chengqian, which means 'accepted from heaven.' You are His Majesty's eldest son, and you have a great honor.
It’s destiny! Even if you suffer from foot problems, which detracts from your appearance as a king, no one is perfect. Even if there is a slight flaw, who in this world can be more noble than you? So no matter who you face, you should straighten your back.
Rod, look at me with disdain, you are truly inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people!"
Although Yu Zhining was born in Guanlong, the Yu family in Luoyang has long been alienated from the Guanlong nobles. When the prince was canonized, he was ordered to become the emperor's tutor and teach the prince knowledge. He has been with the prince for many years, becoming both his teacher and his father.
The feelings are deep and the interests involved are inseparable.
Therefore, he wholeheartedly wanted to see the prince become a talented person and hope that the prince could successfully ascend the throne.
Unfortunately, the prince's temperament is too soft, he treats others well and does not fight for it, so he lacks a bit of the vigor that a young man should have, and he does not seem to be outstanding enough. Furthermore, he fell from a horse and broke his leg, leaving him disabled, which had a great impact on the prince.
Although the brother of Wei King Li Tai was a little fatter, his literary talent and quick thinking won the favor of His Majesty Li Er, which made the prince more or less feel a little inferior.
As the King of Jin gradually grew up, Zhong Lingyuxiu became even more outstanding. In addition, Queen Wende passed away, and His Majesty Li Er became more and more doting on her, which made the prince feel even more difficult to compare with his two younger brothers.
He is already gentle and gentle, but if he lacks the vigor of a young man, he will naturally feel more inferior and lose the temperament that would make him a prince.
Li Chengqian is naturally aware of his shortcomings, but it is easy to say that. If he really wants to show his magnanimity as a prince without making his father feel threatened, how difficult is it to grasp the scale?
I was just embarrassed in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud. I held Yu Zhining's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you teacher for your teaching. I will keep it in my heart and reflect on it all the time."
Immediately, several people carefully considered how Li Chengqian would speak after meeting His Majesty Li Er. They carefully considered every word and every sentence, lest there be any omissions that would cause His Majesty Li Er to be dissatisfied.
Of course, Fang Jun and Du He seldom talked to each other at this time. Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu had been in official circles all their lives. After going through the Sui and Tang dynasties, they had already cultivated themselves into human beings. They were well versed in the art of speech, and they were very respectful to Your Majesty.
He also has a deep understanding of his likes and dislikes, which is definitely not comparable to that of two young people.
The two men gave Li Chengqian instructions, teaching him sentence by sentence, how to word and express his position, and even speculated on the possible questions that His Majesty Li Er might have, and answered them in advance, making sure to be watertight.
Of course, no one knows what attitude His Majesty Li Er will have or what words he will say. Our current research is just to set the tone and hold a direction. No matter how we answer His Majesty Li Er's words, we should follow this policy.
Then there will be no mistakes.
Li Chengqian has a weak character and is unworthy of being a king. This is a disadvantage, but it is also a benefit. Because of his weak character, he is more able to accept advice with an open mind and will not easily make his own decisions or do bad things impulsively...
