Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 480 From opposition to support, Li Shimin is under great pressure
Chapter 480 From opposition to support, Li Shimin is under great pressure
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but with Li Jing nodding, it will be much easier for Du Miaoyan.
After bidding farewell to Li Jing, Du Miaoyan went to find Changsun Wuji.
Yes, just look for Changsun Wuji.
Although Changsun Wuji and Fang Yuan had a grudge, there was a lot of friction.
But looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the most suitable person besides Li Jing to be crowned king is Changsun Wuji.
Moreover, Du Miaoyan was doing official business and did not talk too much about personal matters, all in the name of creating opportunities for you.
In the end, after spending a long time, Changsun Wuji was also moved, but he did not openly agree to Du Miaoyan, and also asked her to convince one more person.
This was all part of Du Miaoyan's plan.
What she wants is for the ministers of the imperial court to go from opposing Fang Yuan to being crowned king, to being moved by him, and finally to supporting him.
On this day, Du Miaoyan visited seven ministers. After learning that Li Jing and Changsun Wuji agreed, they were all moved.
The days passed again, and Du Miaoyan went out early and came back late every day. Almost all the ministers who visited the imperial court had the status of public servants at first.
Because she was the wife of Yipin Haoming and the daughter of the late Du Ruhui, it was no problem for Du Miaoyan to see them, and no one would even give her this face.
"Miao Yan, it's almost done. Let them make their own decisions for the rest."
On this day, Du Miaoyan wanted to go out again, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan saw Du Miaoyan's hard work these days and was moved in his heart.
So when I saw that she was about to go out again, I stopped her with words, thinking that it was almost enough.
Although the remaining ones are also ministers in the court and have good status, they have little effect.
If Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others support it, then the rest will also think of their deep intentions and support them.
Ministers are all complicated with each other. Just like if Du Miaoyan only seeks Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian will soon know.
Of course, Du Miaoyan also went to find Gao Shilian, who was the most difficult to say that she was heartbroken.
"Today is the last day. I won't go after today."
Du Miaoyan thought for a while and said softly.
There are one or two more worth visiting today.
After going today, the rest is left to them to choose.
As long as the key people are gathered together, there is no need for everyone to persuade them.
"Fine."
Fang Yuan saw that Du Miaoyan was resolute and stopped stopping him.
It’s just one more day, and it’s just one more day of hard work.
But seeing Du Miaoyan working so hard, Fang Yuan's mentality that originally didn't want to be crowned king changed.
Even if it is not for himself, for Du Miaoyan or for everyone in the Fang Mansion, he must firmly decide to become the king!
"Then I'm going!"
Du Miaoyan smiled, took Xue Bowu and her brother and set off.
I took Xue Bowu with me for protection, and I took Xue Jiaoyan with me to avoid suspicion.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
"Did Du Miaoyan start walking around the ministers again?"
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Junxian below.
The imperial court will not monitor the relationship between ministers, but frequent visits will still attract Li Shimin's attention.
Li Shimin did not want or allow the powerful ministers to move around frequently, and did not expect the relationship between them to be good.
"Yes, it has been six days, and I have visited more than seven or eight ministers every day."
Li Junxian said respectfully.
Li Junxian noticed this situation starting from Du Miaoyan's visit the next day.
At first, he was not prepared to report it to Li Shimin. After all, Du Miaoyan was not Fang Yuan or a minister of the imperial court.
However, Du Miaoyan visited ministers frequently in the next two days, so Li Junxian could only report the matter to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin knew at that time that Du Miaoyan wanted to intercede for Fang Yuan to be crowned king, and wanted to work out a relationship to get them to support Fang Yuan, so he asked Li Junxian to keep an eye on him.
At first, Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. After all, no one below him changed his mind. But later, Li Shimin felt something was wrong.
They are so quiet!
So many people have been approached by Du Miaoyan, there is no reason why no one should write to tell him.
"Your Majesty, your right servant is asking for an audience!"
Suddenly, Wang De from outside the imperial study came in to report.
"Xuan!"
Li Shimin's heart tightened and he said in a deep voice.
Li Jing was the first to intercede with Du Miaoyan. How would he choose?
Not long after, Li Jing strode into the Imperial Study Room with vigorous movements, and the age on his body did not seem to affect his movements.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing, pays homage to your Majesty!"
Li Jing said loudly.
The sound seemed much louder than before.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Li Shimin said calmly.
But my hanging heart hung tighter.
He felt that Li Jing had changed and became more passionate.
It seems like I am back to my youth, full of energy.
"Your Majesty, I would like to take back the objections from the other party's minister."
Li Jing said loudly.
Ministers will issue memorials when impeaching someone.
The impeachment memorial can be withdrawn, which means that the other party will no longer be impeached.
Li Jing withdrew the memorial against Fang Yuan's title of king, which meant that he no longer opposed it.
"You don't object?!"
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice.
The worry still came, and Li Shimin suddenly felt endless pressure.
"His Majesty never said that he would make Minister Fang king, so any objections we have to talk about are all memorials that deceive ourselves and others."
Li Jing said with a slight smile.
"That's true, what do you think?"
Li Shimin smiled and stared at Li Jing.
"I take back the objection memorial from the other party's minister and present another copy."
Li Jing took a deep breath, took out a memorial from his arms, and said in a deep voice.
"Send it up!"
Li Shimin's heart trembled heavily.
It had been a long time since he had seen Li Jing's eyes look so fiery.
It seemed like he had become a young man, as if he had found a new direction, which made Li Shimin clenched his fists involuntarily.
Not long after, the memorial was presented. Li Shimin opened Li Jing's memorial nervously, his face slowly sinking.
As expected, they support Fang Yuan to be crowned king!
From opposition to support, only seven days have passed!
And on the first day of these seven days, he was visited by Du Miaoyan!
"Why?"
Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly.
The huge anger made him want to roar loudly.
As the number one person in the army, Li Jing turned from opposition to support.
He supports Fang Yuan to be crowned king, how many people in the army will oppose it?
And Li Jing is still the right servant!
"I think that Fang Yuan's achievements are enough to make him a king!"
"Throughout the millennium of China, there are only a few who can match Fang Yuan's achievements!"
"If a person with such achievements as Fang Yuan cannot be crowned king, then who else can be crowned?"
Li Jing noticed the change in Li Shimin's mood, but still said loudly.
From the moment he supported Fang Yuan to be crowned king, the emperor was destined to be furious.
Things are irreversible, and the emperor's anger is not terrible.
What I want is for Fang Yuan to be crowned king!
"Who else can seal it?!"
"You Li Jing also want to be crowned king?!"
Li Shimin laughed angrily.
So that's it, that's it.
Du Miaoyan really made a good move to persuade Li Jing like this.
To give them hope, after Fang Yuan is crowned king, if there is another war and Li Jing needs to go to the battlefield, then he will become the next king with a different surname.
Judging from Li Jing, everyone else Du Miaoyan visited was probably persuaded in this way, and Li Jing was just the first one to come to him.
"Your Majesty, I have never thought about it this way. I just think that Shi Lang Fang's achievements are enough to make him a king."
Li Jing shook his head and did not admit it.
But if his achievements are enough, then he hopes that he can also be crowned king.
They are all doing things for the imperial court. Fang Yuan cannot be crowned king if his achievements are sufficient, but he cannot be crowned king if he is sufficient.
This is Du Miaoyan's core idea, and it is also what Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and others are excited about. None of them wants to be famous throughout the ages.
"I understand, please step back."
Li Shimin held back his anger and waved his hands.
What a good minister, I never thought about it, it really makes me laugh to death.
"I resign!"
Li Jing bowed and left.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jing's back with a gloomy face.
He was guessing who would come next to withdraw his opposition to Fang Yuan's memorial to the king?
About a quarter of an hour later, Changsun Wuji asked to see him!
"Auxiliary machine, you are the queen's brother and the prince's uncle, you also want to support Fang Yuan to be crowned king?!"
Li Shimin could hardly accept such a result.
He can accept anyone who supports Fang Yuan to be crowned king, but Changsun Wuji cannot accept it.
Changsun Wuji is the elder brother of the queen and the uncle of the prince. He is destined to dominate the government and the public in the future and will never decline.
With such a status, he is also eyeing the title of king and wants to be crowned king.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood."
"Wei Chen just thinks that Fang Shilang's achievements are enough to make him a king, that's all."
Changsun Wuji did not dare to look directly into Li Shimin's eyes and said in a deep voice.
Yes, my future is bright and I am destined to be powerful.
But in the final analysis, he is just a minister, a minister of the Tang Dynasty.
But if you can be crowned king, you will be able to share the country with the Tang Dynasty, gain supreme glory, and be rich for countless descendants.
"I understand, please step back."
Li Shimin suddenly felt powerless and waved his hands, not wanting to see Changsun Wuji again.
As soon as Changsun Wuji retired, another court minister asked to see him, and it was Wang Gui, the minister in charge.
But Li Shimin had already guessed what they were thinking, and he didn't want to see anyone, so he directly refused Wang Gui's request to see them.
However, after Wang Gui left, Qin Qiong fell ill and asked for a visit...
"Asshole!"
"How dare they?"
Li Shimin was so angry that he overturned the desk in front of him and roared loudly.
The maids and eunuchs present were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and put their heads on the ground, not daring to breathe hard.
Looking at the memorials scattered on the ground, Li Shimin finally felt better and was no longer so angry and depressed.
But the matter about Fang Yuan being crowned king still gave him a headache, and he didn't know how to resolve the matter peacefully.
Li Shimin didn't know how to solve it for the time being, so he just ignored it and left it there.
However, just in the past day, there were many memorials on Li Shimin's desk supporting Fang Yuan's title of king.
Fortunately, it was just a memorial, so Li Shimin could just throw it aside and ignore it.
However, during the morning court, another minister proposed it.
This made Li Shimin unable to hide even if he wanted to.
"I have already made a decision on this matter, don't mention it again in the future!"
Li Shimin stood up directly and left the court meeting willfully.
After returning to the imperial study, Li Shimin was so angry that he threw things again.
Now he has a severe headache. The officials support Fang Yuan to be crowned king, and the people support Fang Yuan to be crowned king.
It seems that the whole world supports Fang Yuan to be crowned king, but he, the emperor, does not support it, and the pressure is huge.
"Prince, do you think my father should grant Fang Yuan the title of king?"
Li Shimin called Li Zhi to test him again.
"It shouldn't be, but it has to be closed."
Li Zhi sighed and said.
Now that hundreds of officials support and the people support, the general trend of the world is there.
If the imperial court is not sealed, how will the people of the world see the imperial court, and how will the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty cooperate with the imperial court to govern the world?
Although the emperor is the master of the world, he is still a human being and cannot fight against the general trend of the world.
"You know politics. I feel confident that the future of Datang will be left to your father."
"It's just that my father is worried that establishing a king with a different surname will bring trouble to you when you rule the Tang Dynasty in the future."
Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi with satisfaction and sadness.
Yes, I have such an opinion at a young age.
But with such a satisfied son, Li Shimin didn't want to leave any trouble for him.
"My father is worried, and my sons and ministers are also very worried, but this world belongs to my father, and I can make arrangements as I see fit."
Li Zhi really felt that granting a different surname to Wang was a disaster and would bring huge trouble to his management.
But this world is not his own yet, he is just a prince, and he may be deposed in the future.
Therefore, even if Li Zhi doesn't want to make Fang Yuan king, he doesn't have the final say, let alone give too many of his own ideas.
"I understand, please step back."
Li Shimin waved his hands and said.
So, Fang Yuan's title as king has been confirmed?
Li Shimin closed his eyes, leaned on the dragon chair, and meditated.
After a long time, Li Shimin finally opened his eyes and his expression returned to calm.
"Here comes Xuan Fangyuan!"
After about a stick of incense, Fang Yuan, who was in the household department, rushed to the imperial study room.
"From opposition to support in the civil and military circles of the entire dynasty, you really have a good wife!"
Li Shimin said with a half-smile.
"A good wife helps me reach my peak."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
"What a good wife to help me reach my peak!"
"Fang Yuan, I ask you, do you want to be crowned king?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"think."
Fang Yuan spoke without hesitation.
Now the whole world is talking about him being crowned king. If he still says he doesn't want to do so, it would be too hypocritical.
"If I don't grant you the title of king, will you leave the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Shimin frowned and continued to ask.
"Most likely."
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded.
The whole world has known about the matter. If he is not crowned king, there is no point in staying in the Tang Dynasty.
Instead of staying, it is better to go to Future Island, that is where you should go.
Li Shimin frowned deeper, looked at Fang Yuan deeply, and said after a long time.
"Where do you want to choose as your fiefdom?"
"Lingnan!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said.
"Lingnan?"
Li Shimin was obviously stunned.
Lingnan is a land of Liao people, a place where mountains and rivers are exhausted.
There are often wars there, and the imperial court cannot manage it well. Fang Yuan wants to use it as a fiefdom?
If this was the case, Li Shimin did not object to Fang Yuan being crowned king, and even hoped that Fang Yuan would sort things out.
"Yes."
Fang Yuan said solemnly.
In the Tang Dynasty, Lingnan was a backward place and a place where prisoners were demoted.
But in later generations, Lingnan was a major economic province in the country, occupying a very important position due to its policy support and proximity to the sea.
"Do you want to use the sea area to vigorously develop the Maritime Silk Road?"
Li Shimin's eyes brightened slightly.
There are many resources overseas and many unknown areas.
If Fang Yuan's back cover is in Lingnan and he is eyeing overseas markets, then Feng Wang doesn't need to be too resistant.
