Wei Chen vaguely guessed Han Zhang’s intention of finding him, and Han Zhang’s next words confirmed his guess.
Han Zhang looked worried and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is already old, and the throne has not yet been established. This is a time when the country is in turmoil. As soon as there is a change, war will break out and people will be devastated."
.Do you know how dangerous it is? Xingyun?"
Wei Chen's heart moved when he heard this. Han Zhang's friendship was a little too deep. He was trying to be courteous for nothing, but he was either cheating or stealing. It was better for him to be more cautious.
He immediately said in a respectful tone: "What the Great Scholar Han said is very true, but in my humble opinion, as long as the Great Scholar Han is sitting in Longtuge to preside over the overall situation, and the two Great Scholars Wen and Xu are on the side as counselors, there is nothing to worry about.
Wind and waves."
This little naughty guy!
He's not that old, but he's very thoughtful.
Han Zhang was very helpless by Wei Chen's slippery appearance. If it were an ordinary young man, after hearing what he just said, he would have been filled with righteous indignation. However, Wei Chen did not care at all.
He just used polite words to deal with himself, obviously he was not moved at all.
Seeing this, Han Zhang had no choice but to show off his chief assistant's momentum, stared into Wei Chen's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xingyun, I'm here just to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, so why do you use false words to prevaricate me?" Feeling the pressure from the other party, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He tried his best to stay calm and said, "Master Han has misunderstood. I don't mean this. I have no instructions for you, but please give me your instructions."<
/p>
"That's pretty much it."
Han Zhang snorted softly, his face softened slightly, then he looked around to make sure there was no one around him, then he approached Wei Chen and said in a sincere tone: "Xingyun, you are a smart man, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore, in one sentence,
If you can persuade His Majesty to establish a heir apparent, I will owe you a great favor. How about that?"
Wei Chen couldn't help but be a little confused. When the ministers came to give advice in the palace today, he had seconded the proposal and expressed his attitude.
Even if Han Zhang didn't see it at the time, he should have heard someone mention it afterward. Why would he need to go out of his way to find himself and ask him to persuade Zhao Zhen to establish a throne?
Could it be...
An idea flashed through Wei Chen's mind, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that Han Zhang is not satisfied with his current attitude and wants him to take the lead in the charge?
Wei Chen absolutely cannot agree to this!
Although Wei Chen has roughly guessed Zhao Zhen's true attitude towards Chu in his heart, he understands that Zhao Zhen has actually recognized the reality. He is just a stubborn duck at the moment and will one day let go.
But as long as Zhao Zhen doesn't issue an order to establish a crown prince for a day, there will be certain risks in persuading him to establish a crown prince.
Like Wei Chen did today, he could just hide behind the crowd and chime in with a few comments. After all, as the saying goes, the law does not punish the crowd.
But in addition to the law not punishing the public, there is another saying that shoots the first bird. Once you do this, the danger will immediately rise.
As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, blood flows down the river.
Don’t think that Zhao Zhen is easy to bully just because he has a gentle temper. A rabbit bites when he is anxious, let alone a majestic emperor who has power all over the world!
Over the years, dozens of officials have been demoted for persuading him to establish a crown prince, and among them there are many ministers like Wei Chen who are deeply trusted by Zhao Zhen.
Once Wei Chen takes the initiative to write, he will inevitably follow in the footsteps of these predecessors.
Only Han Zhang, Wen Yanchang, and Xu Mu, who were academicians with high enough status and tough bodies, dared to resist Zhao Zhen's anger and led the ministers to remonstrate again and again.
As for Wei Chen, he may be able to reach the level of Han Zhang and the others in the future, but right now, he is not qualified yet.
Wei Chen cannot bear the consequences of rashly stepping forward and offending Tian Yan.
Therefore, even if the chief minister of the Zhou Dynasty sat in front of Wei Chen and begged him to do so in a low profile, Wei Chen could only respond in silence.
When Han Zhang saw Wei Chen bowing his head and being silent for a long time, he immediately understood his thoughts and said slowly: "Xingyun, I understand your concerns. I am not forcing you to speak frankly, I just want you to cooperate with the performance.
It’s just a show.”
"Acting?"
Wei Chen felt that he was getting more and more lost in the lake. What kind of medicine did Mr. Han sell in his gourd?
Seeing Wei Chen's puzzled expression, Han Zhang laughed and patiently explained: "Yixingyun, I think you should be able to see that because of your extraordinary intelligence. Although His Majesty has not relented on the matter of establishing the crown prince, in his heart
I have already wavered, and what is still bad now is actually just an opportunity."
"Opportunity?"
Wei Chen is thoughtful.
Han Zhang smiled slightly and continued: "The matter of establishing a crown prince is what the people of the world want and the general trend. Even if your Majesty delays it for a long time, you will not be able to go against the trend. It is only a matter of time. I think your Majesty has realized it now.
At this point.
However, His Majesty has insisted on going his own way for more than ten years, repeatedly refuting the advice of his ministers to establish a throne, and even demoting and punishing him. Now even if he repented, he was already riding a tiger. After all, Your Majesty is the Supreme Being of the Ninety-Five Years. If you suddenly change your mind, you will inevitably feel that your face is tarnished.
!"
That’s it!
After listening to Han Zhang's words, Wei Chen finally understood. Zhao Zhen knew that he could no longer give birth to a son, but he still delayed the establishment of a heir apparent. To this day, he still refuses to accept the advice of the ministers, so he
Just because I can’t make the royal family lose face!
After thinking about this, Wei Chen couldn't help but feel speechless.
Obviously, this dispute between king and ministers sweeping the court could have ended a few years ago, but because Zhao Zhen couldn't save his face, it was postponed until now, delaying countless important matters.
Of course, Wei Chen can also understand Zhao Zhen. He is the emperor after all. The emperor's face is so precious, how can it be pulled down by just pulling?
Just like the great talent Yang Wuduan at that time, Zhao Zhen ended his official career because of one wrong sentence. Zhao Zhen also regretted it afterwards, but because of his face, he never took back his life until Yang Wuduan died in depression. p>
It’s the same today.
This damn face...
Wei Chen was filled with emotion and raised his head to look at Han Zhang in front of him.
Han Zhang's insightful analysis of Zhao Zhen's psychology made Wei Chen suddenly enlightened, as if he was seeing the blue sky through clouds and mist.
However, Wei Chen still has one thing that he can't figure out. Han Zhang said earlier that he wanted him to cooperate in a play. What the hell is this?

Wei Chen pondered for a moment and asked softly: "Master Han, do you mean to ask me to act in front of His Majesty? This... This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. I would never dare to do it." "No, no, no. This play is not performed for His Majesty, but for the world. It is not just you who participates, but also His Majesty himself."
Han Zhang narrowly blinked at Wei Chen. At this moment, his face no longer had the majesty of a chief minister, but looked like an old naughty boy with a lot of fun. The contrast between the front and back was so great that Wei Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
