Everyone knows that King Li Tai of Wei is henpecked. His Highness has an impetuous and eccentric temper and gets angry frequently. Others cannot persuade him. However, no matter how angry he is, the presence of Princess Yan can always calm his anger and make him docile and docile.
But Li Tai never refused to admit that this was "porn fear". He only thought it was "respect". This famous lady from a wealthy Bingzhou family had always been resourceful and decisive, and was regarded by Li Tai as a good wife...
Faced with the current situation that may be swept by storm, the method given by Princess Yan is to win over the officials of the East Palace. The important thing is to make a promise to the officials of the East Palace, that is, to treat the prince and his children well and never let him down.
This time, Li Tai did not immediately adopt the princess's suggestion, but hesitantly raised his concerns: "But if you rely on those people to become the prince and protect the prince, who knows that it will not backfire on you in the future and cause trouble?"
Princess Yan raised her eyebrows and scolded in a sweet voice: "Your Highness is confused! Look who are the people in the East Palace team? Headed by Fang Jun, Li Daozong, Ma Zhou, and even Li Jing, which one is greedy for power?
People on both ends? They are all upright people! The reason why these people are still protecting the prince until now is because they are worried that the new heir will be detrimental to the prince in the future, and even harm the East Palace! As long as His Highness swears to promise, how can they be capricious?
Just chasing fame, wealth and power? On the contrary, those who are wavering and camera-driven are all fighting for power and position without any bottom line. When His Highness is going well, they are by their side and they are blooming with flowers. But once His Highness encounters setbacks, who is willing to help him in times of need?
?”
Yan Lide on the side also stroked his beard and said: "That's true. The general trend of the government is not right or wrong. However, no matter when and where, one must occupy the rightful name and belong to the righteous side. What is right and what is wrong.
?There will be many helpers if you are successful, but few if you are unfaithful. As long as the subordinate officials of the East Palace submit to His Highness, everyone will think that you have obtained the approval of the Crown Prince, and you are a legitimate party."
Only when your name is right and your words are right can you get twice the result with half the effort.
Li Tai pondered without saying a word.
For his own princess, he admired her great intelligence, and for his father-in-law, he respected her greatly.
Yan Lide was eager to learn since childhood and had outstanding attainments in many aspects such as architecture, calligraphy, painting, and crafts. He entered the Qin Palace as a scholar and joined the army in his early years. He was one of His Majesty Li Er's team in his early years. Later, His Majesty Li Er ascended the throne, and Yan Lide was promoted along the way.
, From Shang Yi Yufu to the general, he will be a young craftsman, and he will be a great craftsman, and he will preside over the construction of Emperor Gaozu's Xianling Mausoleum. In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Wende died, and His Majesty Li Er ordered her to be responsible for the construction of Zhaoling, until now.
Not yet finished…
It can be said that although Yan Lide rarely participated in government affairs, he was a veteran who had followed His Majesty Li Er for many years. He had outstanding achievements and was in the heart of the emperor.
How could he despise the opinions of such an honorable minister?
It’s not that he doesn’t agree with the princess’s words, but he knows very well how loyal Fang Jun and others are to the prince, and if he wants to instigate him to rebel, more than just a promise will be enough. These people are indeed not clinging to power and swinging back and forth.
Generations, but each has their own political ambitions. At present, it is the persistence of these people to preserve the East Palace and prevent the inheritance of the imperial throne from being tainted with bloodshed.
How difficult it is to persuade them to give up the crown prince...
But he also recognized the analysis of the princess and his father-in-law. If he could subdue the subordinate officials of the East Palace for his own use at this time, his strength would increase dramatically, and his position would be almost stable.
But where to start?
Yan Lide thought for a while and said to Princess Yan: "I heard that although Fang Jun is the richest in the world, and the Fang family is also considered a prosperous one, his daily life is not luxurious and extravagant. He only likes... that wife, sister-in-law, the younger sister in the family.
I have grown up and are discussing marriage, how about taking her into the Fang family as a concubine?"
Due to the scandal between Fang Jun and Princess Changle, and the fact that Princess Jinyang, who was close to him, had repeatedly failed in his marriage, everyone in the Tang Dynasty now believed that Fang Jun had this habit. Previously, Princess Baling entered the Youtunwei camp at night,
There were rumors that Chai Zhewei and Fang Jun had a happy night, which made Chai Zhewei's rebellion not involve Chai Lingwu...
Even the daughter-in-law of the Helan family of the Wu family is said to be Fang Jun's forbidden wife.
If you want to win over the officials of the East Palace, the best way is to start with Fang Jun. With Fang Jun's status and prestige in the East Palace, as long as he joins the Wei King's camp, he can easily collapse the East Palace. And to win over Fang Jun, naturally
Do what you like.
There is nothing you can do about sisters-in-law and the like, but anyone who has this hobby is probably out of ideas. Although one's own sisters-in-law are lovable, aren't other people's sisters-in-law more interesting?
We sent His Highness King Wei's wife and sister to Fang Jun's bed. Isn't that enough to show His Highness King Wei's sincerity?
Princess Yan's pretty face turned red with embarrassment. She patted the table with her slender hands and said angrily: "What nonsense did my father say? If he behaves like this, what will happen to my daughter? Instead of giving her sister to Fang Jun, why don't you give her to Fang Jun?"
It would be better to send me there!"
Knowing that Fang Jun's hobby is his sister-in-law, but he sent the Yan family's youngest daughter away, what do people in the world think of her, the Princess of Wei?
Maybe there are some people with dirty thoughts who will unscrupulously concoct the story that in order to win over Fang Jun, she, Princess Wei, would not hesitate to commit herself to Fang Jun...
Yan Lide stroked his beard in embarrassment, not daring to say anything, but he cursed in his heart: Didn't I think about you? The daughter I gave away was also my daughter, and I don't even feel bad. You still worry about this and that, you really don't know.
You have a good heart. Besides, your little sister is like all the ladies and girls in Chang'an City. She spends her whole day talking about Fang Jun's past poems, songs, brilliant achievements, and admires her so much that she may be willing to do so.
Married into the Fang family as a concubine...
Li Tai shook his head to stop: "Erlang and Changle do have an affair, but it is definitely not what the outside world has rumored. As for the rumors that Sizi and Fang Jun are secretly living together, it is even more groundless. Fang Jun is not strict with trivial matters, but he is magnanimous, even if he does not count.
A gentleman is also a true man. If you want to seduce someone with beauty, it is absolutely impossible. I can only be moved by emotion and reason, and don't think about those crooked ways."
Yan Lide was speechless, and for the sake of your future, I even prepared to hook up with my little girl, but only got a crooked word in exchange?
Come on, you can handle your own affairs, I can't do anything about it...
Gluten/span*****
Early the next morning, His Majesty Li Er washed himself, had his breakfast, and then went to the side hall to deal with official documents.
Wang De made a pot of tea, drank a cup, picked up a memorial from the pile of official documents on the desk, opened it, and frowned.
This is Li Xiyu’s memorial requesting him to become an official...
Li Xiyu is an old man among the ministers of Zhenguan. Today, he is still guarding Liangzhou in his 70s and 80s. Although he has done nothing, he is still working hard. Now that he is in his twilight years, he wants to return to his hometown to take care of himself. This is normal. It should not only be allowed.
Moreover, he should be greatly rewarded, and his son should be admitted to the court as an official in Yin Meng to show his respect and reward his merits.
But if you want to become an official, then you should become an official, but you have to criticize the King of Wei in the memorial, saying that he "resembles Yang Emperor but not like a human king"...
Whether the King of Wei is like a human king or not should be decided by me as the emperor. When do you, a border governor, need to comment?
If this kind of thing happened in the past, His Majesty Li Er would probably laugh it off and then go his own way and ignore it.
But now he thinks more...
Li Xiyu was born in a powerful family in Guanlong, but he was always incompatible with Guanlong. Both Li Xiyu and his brother Li Xizhi were loyal to him as the emperor. They could be described as neither friends nor partisans, but loyal men. When such people put forward opinions, the emperor could choose freely.
Listen or not, because no matter what, there will be no serious instability in the DPRK.
But at the same time, when the Guanlong clan completely withdrew from the court after the defeat, there were not many Zhenguan ministers left. As the only meritorious minister left, Li Xiyu's opinions were extremely important.
After all, even today, even if the younger generation headed by Fang Jun is gradually rising, there is no doubt that it is still those Zhenguan ministers who support the foundation of the Tang Empire...
So, is this memorial written by Li Xiyu his own opinion, or was there any other Zhenguan ministers involved in it?
His Majesty Li Er put down the memorials and did not bother to drink tea. He began to read the memorials one by one. After a long time, he sighed. The thing he was most worried about did not happen. Once all the Zhenguan ministers rose up to oppose King Wei as the crown prince, he would
This puts him in a dilemma: if he chooses the King of Wei, the court will be in chaos and the political situation will be turbulent. When King Wei ascends the throne a hundred years later, he will be resisted by the ministers, and there will be a huge storm. The King of Wei will be unruly and prone to bloodshed.
Pestle; If you don’t elect the King of Wei... wouldn’t you be coerced and forced by these ministers?
But there are also disturbing things. It is true that Zhenguan Xunchen did not join Li Xiyu in resisting the King of Wei. However, many imperial officials in the court complained one after another.
One by one, one by one, the King of Wei is described as a foolish person who is "arrogant, unruly, impetuous and violent" and "more powerful than Jie, Zhou and Yang"...
His Majesty Li Er looked at a large pile of memorials and laughed angrily.
The King of Wei is indeed impetuous, headstrong and arrogant, but who are those "Jie, Zhou, Li Yang"? He single-handedly tore apart the great empire of Nuo, leaving behind a tyrant who will be infamy for eternity... He also looks down upon the King of Wei too much.
After sitting behind the desk for a while, Wang De was ordered to go to Menxia Provincial Political Affairs Hall to call Xiao Yu.
After half a cup of tea, Xiao Yu hurried over. After the ceremony, His Majesty Li Er gave him a seat, pointed to a large pile of memorials on the table and said: "These are the memorials written by the imperial officials in the court to impeach the king of Wei.
Duke Guo of Song, come and take a look, how should we deal with it?"
Since you are known as the "Leader of Qingliu" and most of the imperial censors are from your sect, then come and express your opinion...what do you want to do?
Xiao Yu remained calm as usual, stood up and came to the desk, leaning over a memorial and reading over it.
Finally, he put down the last memorial, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, so you naturally know that some of these people are really sincere, and some are far-fetched... How to deal with them is naturally decided by Your Majesty."
"Ho!"
His Majesty Li Er laughed angrily.
It sounds easy to say it, but who speaks from the heart? And who is far-fetched?
Is it possible for me to send the "Hundred Cavalry Division" to investigate these censors one by one?
This is forcing a woman to have an uterus.
But he was not angry, but was thinking: Is this just a simple boycott of King Wei, or have these people formed a faction with King Jin, sharing weal and woe?
