Chapter 2122 Please book the prince to reassure the hearts of the people
Especially after the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, the actual power of the Duguan Shangshu has actually become smaller and smaller, and he has gradually become a messenger of world events.
The ministers of each ministry also have the opportunity and power to meet with His Majesty alone to report matters of their own. Therefore, there is no problem in Qingli's case when Mr. Jiang raises the matter to His Majesty alone without being able to find Tang Yishun immediately.
Mr. Jiang took a deep breath and glanced at Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie opposite.
The two of them stared intently, seemingly waiting quietly for Mr. Jiang to speak.
This actually made Mr. Jiang breathe a sigh of relief.
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie showed no expressions or movements, indicating that Chen Shushen must have won their consent for this matter. Otherwise, when they realized that something was not right, they would definitely stand up and interrupt Chen Shushen and change the topic.
Thinking about it, Chen Shushen is standing from the perspective of a southern official - in fact, Mr. Jiang also belongs to the southern faction, and is even an out-and-out ex-old man. However, the things he has committed before make him not very popular with the southern faction.
The officials wanted to see him, and he himself did not want to integrate into this group that was once his political enemy. Of course, he hoped to establish the crown prince as soon as possible to rectify his name.
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, the leaders of the Yuanrong faction, were originally from the south. Even if they were from a fair and selfless perspective, they certainly hoped to establish a prince as soon as possible to appease the people and give everyone more peace of mind.
in dealing with enemies.
At that moment, Mr. Jiang took a step forward and said sternly: "Your Majesty, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a country cannot be without a prince for a long time. Now that the Han Dynasty has unified the world, although there are no internal worries, there are still external worries.
, you should stabilize the people's hearts, and then you can control them from outside. In terms of stabilizing the people's hearts, you should appoint a prince, so that the government and the public will not speculate about the palace, and everyone will be united to conquer the outside world. Therefore, I ask your majesty to appoint the prince to stabilize the country.
People’s hearts.”
Li Xingchen frowned and asked directly: "I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the emperor's eldest son is still young. Is it too hasty to appoint the prince at this time? Why not wait for the emperor's eldest son to become more knowledgeable before making him the prince? If it is to be canonized at this time,
, it may make the children frustrated and unwilling to learn."
Li Xingchen's words contained some dissatisfaction.
I am still young now, in my thirties, and I am not considered an older king in the history of the dynasties. What are your thoughts in urging me to appoint a prince in such a hurry?
In fact, Li Xinchen himself planned to use these two days to prepare the title of crown prince, but Mr. Jiang—it was obvious that Jiang was always being bossed around—took the initiative to mention this matter, which immediately made Li Xinchen feel a little reluctant. At least.
The few civil and military figures who he regarded as important figures standing in front of him did not object to this and even supported it. Do they support it out of justice, or do they just want to better form a party for private gain?
Li Xingchen remembers clearly that in the previous dynasty, the Donggong faction had monopolized power in the court, and the most important person in charge, Mr. Jiang, was standing in front of him, and even himself, in the early days of the rise of Donggong, was
The generals outside the East Palace echoed each other in the court, making people dare not underestimate the majesty of the East Palace.
Chen Xu, who was sitting on the throne at that time, was also famous for his suspicion. As a result, he could only watch the rise of the East Palace, and in the end he could not stop it? The rise of the East Palace brought about cruel party struggles and
Li Xingchen witnessed the suppression of loyal ministers who were not in the East Palace faction and even experienced it personally.
Therefore, he now has to be careful to guard against the rise of such a force and snatch away all the power before he passes away.
In fact, Li Xingchen was not really worried about losing the power to command the world, but he was worried that his successor would be intoxicated with the existing prosperity of the Han Dynasty and not want to make progress, thereby destroying the blueprint Li Xingchen had drawn for the Han Dynasty.
With the lessons learned from the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history, Li Xingchen was even more worried that his descendants would become Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, with both praise and infamy spread. He was even more worried about the brand-new Han Dynasty that he had finally established, and worked hard to win the trust of every citizen.
The national and national consciousness established in the heart will fall apart due to the conservativeness and corruption and greed of the ruling class.
To get to this point, how much effort have you put in to maintain this balanced and steady development? Therefore, you can't fail.
His Majesty's face looked uncertain. Xiao Shilian was planning to say something, but Pei Zilie coughed lightly, reminding him that at least now was not the time to speak rashly.
Li Xingchen said directly: "I still need to consider the stakes in this matter and discuss it later. Bo Qing?"
Xiao Shilian was startled and hurriedly agreed.
Pei Zilie and Chen Shushen subconsciously looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty called Xiao Shilian by his nickname, which shows that His Majesty is not completely angry or angry to the point of losing his mind. He should just have some things that he has not figured out. Otherwise, if you think about it more deeply, there is indeed a group of ministers forcing the palace.
I think, if His Majesty is really angry, he might not be able to help but kick everyone out.
Mr. Jiang next to him seemed to have collapsed.
Next time, you can't listen to the bosses' orders no matter what. It's a good thing to be able to get favors from the bosses, but if you're not careful, you may die.
Mr. Jiang's performance naturally fell in Li Xingchen's eyes, which made Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile.
Major matters such as canonization and sacrifices under the control of the Ministry of Rites, whether there are many or few canonizations, whether the sacrifices are complex or simple, are all under the control of Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang has long since lost his original ambition to govern the court. Nan Chen's
The destruction made him seem like a different person, so he should be the easiest to control among the officials in the court now.
He said something like this uncharacteristically today, and he must have obviously made a lot of determination. Now if Li Xingchen scares him, Mr. Jiang will probably be more obedient than he is now.
"Bo Qing, the war in the northwest is tense, and a general is always needed to take charge. I originally planned to let Yang Su go, but considering that Yang Su was born in the Taiwei Mansion after all, he lacks experience in commanding the three armies on the front line, and may not be able to lead the army in Guanzhong.
You have to live in the place. Boqing, you have been in Guanzhong for a long time before, please think about it for me, who is more suitable to go out to Guanzhong?" Li Xingchen asked directly.
The atmosphere in the main hall that had been slightly relaxed suddenly became cold again.
Xiao Shilian was dull for a while.
Sending a general, or to be precise, a general who can play a coordinating and controlling role out of Guanzhong is a consensus that has long been reached between the Taiwei Mansion, the military and even the civilian officials. This can also avoid Guanzhong as much as possible.
, the Central Plains and the northwest battlefield are not closely connected and even some conflicts arise.
