Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4055
Cen Wenwen was silent for a while, instead of answering Xiao Yuzhi's worries, he asked instead: "Brother Shi Wen thinks the new emperor will ascend the throne in the future, what is Fang Jun's status?"

He is nearly 20 years younger than Xiao Yu. He is not yet sixty years old, but he has gray hair and chronic illnesses. On the contrary, Xiao Yu, whose family and country collapsed and had to move to Chang'an as a hostage in the former Sui Dynasty, has a red face and a hale and hearty spirit. Judging from the current state of the two of them, it is very likely that he will die a few years earlier than Xiao Yu...

Xiao Yu whirled the teacup in his hand, deliberated for a while, and said: "Fang Jun is brilliant, capable, and has made great achievements. The influence in both the military and political circles cannot be underestimated. Especially the Eastern Palace, when the crown prince is deposed, all All of them were suppressed, and they were bound to take refuge under Fang Jun's wings. Only his leader followed, forming a force that cannot be ignored. The first task of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is to appease the court, and then he can reject dissidents, and it is almost inevitable to win over Fang Jun. And once Fang Jun enters the center, with his ability and foundation, he will become a major trend in a blink of an eye... Therefore, Fang Jun may not be able to dominate the world in the future, but it is inevitable for a while."

The so-called "inviting gods is easy to send gods is difficult", as long as Fang Jun enters the center and ranks as the prime minister, it is as difficult as going to heaven to suppress him.

Even His Majesty Li Er, who is as prestigious as a mountain, can only move Fang Jun to an idle position, instead of completely expelling him from the court.

Today's Fang Jun has full wings and a big tail...

Cen Wenwen nodded, and said: "That's right, but Brother Shiwen also overlooked one thing. Although Fang Jun's skyrocketing skyrocketing in the future is unstoppable, there is still a big difference between the king of Wei and the king of Jin. of."

Xiao Yu was stunned: "It's only natural. The King of Wei and Fang Jun have a very close personal relationship. The two have cooperated closely in the establishment of education in the past two years. The King of Wei trusts Fang Jun very much. Once King Wei ascends the throne, he will definitely use Fang Jun again, and even accept Fang Jun completely. Jun's idea, to implement the world. Compared with it, King Jin is a little more afraid of Fang Jun, even if he has to win over Fang Jun in the future, his trust is limited after all."

He knew the meaning of elegance by hearing Xiange, and he understood the reason why Cen Wenwen asked this question - since Fang Jun's rise is inevitable, he should try to prevent the opponent's greatest advantage so that he can take more initiative on his side.

In short, support the King of Jin, attack the King of Wei, and strive to assist the King of Jin to become the heir as much as possible, and to ascend the throne in the future...

After thinking about it, Xiao Yu said: "It's not difficult. Compared with King Wei, King Jin has the disadvantages of being young and having low prestige. The government and the opposition may not be convinced. But there is also an advantage, that is, living with His Majesty since childhood. , the relationship between father and son is deeper than that of the elder brothers, and when Empress Wende was dying, she never forgot about His Royal Highness King Jin, and she may not have told His Majesty to take good care of her in private."

King Jin is not the youngest son of His Majesty, but the youngest legitimate son born to Empress Wende, with an extraordinary status.

To this day, Xiao Yu still remembers that when His Majesty Li Er was always stubborn, and even Wei Zheng would not stop persuading him, only Queen Wende's soft words could comfort him.Therefore, the crown prince, the king of Wei, and the king of Jin are not only the sons of His Majesty, but also because of the birth of Empress Wende, the favor has become stronger and stronger.

As long as Empress Wende spoke so much in favor of King Jin back then, it would be very likely to guide His Majesty's inclination to establish a crown prince...

Cen Wenwen nodded in approval, and added: "Besides, the king of Wei was wise early, but his personality is exaggerated. There has long been a reputation of being 'similar to Emperor Yang' between the ruling and opposition parties. His Majesty must have concerns about the mistakes."

Xiao Yu nodded again and again.

Civilian wind reviews can affect the ownership of the reserve, especially after the crown prince is abolished, let His Majesty Li Er continue the path of "abolishing the elders and establishing the young" and ignore the king of Wei, and instead make the king of Jin the crown prince?Objectively speaking, the impact is very small, almost negligible.

"Zongzhen Inheritance" is a rule of the Han Dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years. To abolish a crown prince is considered to be a disgrace to the world. How can we abolish two elder brothers in succession and support the youngest son?
But when this style of criticism is prevalent in the court, making all civil servants, generals, royal family and nobles agree with it, then the impact will be great.

As for how the reputation of "the King of Wei is similar to Emperor Yang" can be blatantly clamored in the court and spread among the nobles, it depends on the means of each...

A lot of mouths can melt gold, accumulate and destroy bones, if things go on like this, it is enough to shake His Majesty Li Er's mind.

The means are very simple, just push and step, but the simplest means are often the most effective.

Cen Wenwen drooped his eyebrows, as if his energy was a little low, he sighed softly, and said slowly: "I am exhausted physically and mentally, and I can't continue, and I rely on Brother Shiwen to take care of these things."

These words seem to be a bit evasive, but Xiao Yu couldn't wish for it, and said with concern: "Your body is important, you are only in your fifties, and you will have a good life in the future, so you should take care of it. You can rest assured about this matter, I will do my best to bear it.”

Whoever presides over this matter will take the risk of "slandering the prince", but the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.

If the Chinese officials of the unified court attack the king of Wei, if they succeed, it will bring Xiao Yu's prestige and power to a higher level. In the future, Cen Wenwen will become an official due to illness. Who else can compete with him?
*****
It is always said that "the general trend of history is mighty and mighty, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish", but every fragment and every node of history is created by people.All living beings are ignorant and ignorant, but there will always be some outstanding people standing in the long river of history, playing with the tide and leading the wind, making history take advantage of their will, which will eventually benefit the common people or spread disaster to the common people.

Righteousness and evil, right and wrong, history has no ifs.

……

In the Hall of Wude, His Majesty Li Er put aside the pile of documents and documents, drank tea, and told Wang De to repair the various palaces of Taiji Palace as soon as possible.

"Liang Guogong's mansion occupies half a square, and the buildings are continuous and row upon row. As a result, it has been renovated in just a few days, and it can be used to entertain guests. I am the supreme being in the world, but this Tai Chi Palace has not been repaired for a long time. Those who What are the officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu doing? Later, you will personally go to the two yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu, and tell them to speed up the progress. Within ten months, I will move back to Ganlu Hall."

His Majesty Li Er's face was unkind, angry, and his tone was extremely dissatisfied.

The Taiji Palace was dilapidated after the war, and many palaces suffered serious losses. After returning to Beijing, he had to drive the prince back to the East Palace and occupy the Wude Palace for temporary resettlement.

However, on the one hand, he wanted to depose the prince, and on the other hand, he drove the prince away, which always made His Majesty Li Er feel ashamed of "dove occupying the magpie's nest"...

But what is there to feel guilty about?
He risked his life to launch the "Xuanwumen Incident" to snatch this world from the hands of Emperor Gaozu and the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and it was he who spent more than ten years sleepless nights and painstakingly managing prosperity. He can give it to whoever he wants. And it is stipulated that it can only be given to the prince?

So this sense of guilt for no reason made him feel extremely uncomfortable...

Wang De bowed to his orders, but complained in his heart, no matter how grand and luxurious the Duke of Liang is, it is still just a mansion of a mansion. No matter how simple the repairs are here, it is still a palace. The regulations are different and the scale is different. How can there be any comparison?
But seeing His Majesty's complexion turned dark and his anger faint, he didn't dare to speak out, thinking that he would go to the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu to put pressure on him later. As for whether the project can be completed on schedule, it is not up to him Responsibilities...

His Majesty Li Er vented for a while, his mood eased slightly, he took another sip of tea, thought for a while, and then said: "I am away from the East, and the crown prince has contributed a lot to defending the country. I'm weak, so tossing like this may cause the root cause of the disease, you send some of the high-grade wild ginseng I brought back from Liaodong to the crown prince, so that he can nourish his body."

Wang De's heart trembled, and he quickly responded.

The prince is indeed weak. Falling off the horse back then not only hurt his legs and feet, but also damaged his internal organs. However, after so many years of recuperation, there is no serious problem. However, His Majesty's words and demeanor have confirmed that the prince's "body is weak and his roots are weak." The statement of "loss" must be for the purpose of spreading public opinion in the future...

Outside the door, there is a report from the inner room, saying that Li Junxian asked to see him.

Wang De took the opportunity to resign and went outside to summon Li Junxian to an audience, while he himself rushed to the two yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the Shaofu to convey His Majesty's will...

Li Junxian entered the study room and sat down after seeing His Majesty Li Er walking back to the royal case. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, handed over a list, and then said: "The last general is ordered to monitor Liang Guogong's mansion. This is an invitation. The guest list for the dinner."

Seeing His Majesty Li Er picking up the list to look at, he said: "In the meantime, Zhang Xingcheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials who did not receive the invitation, personally came to congratulate him and presented a congratulatory ceremony, but he was humiliated by the Duke of Yue and left angrily... "

"Oh? Say it carefully."

His Majesty Li Er put down the list in his hand and asked about Zhang Xingcheng.

This list did not exceed his expectations. Apart from a few princes, the only ministers in the court were Li Daozong, Ma Zhou and others, who were regarded as Fang Jun's close friends, and it seemed that it was just an ordinary family banquet.But His Majesty Li Er knew that Fang Jun wanted to use this "family banquet" method to convey his powerful contacts and influence to the outside world-even if it was just my best friend and relative uncle Lang, it's not like any of you can do it. provoking.

This is Fang Jun's preparation for possible suppression and attacks. Otherwise, once the outside world thinks that he is out of power and his status has plummeted, people who covet his huge wealth will flock to him.Fang Jun is not afraid, but he is very annoying...

On the contrary, Zhang Xingcheng came here uninvited, with some knowledge.

Li Junxian then told the story in detail. There were many servants of the Fang family and Zhang Xingcheng's attendants at the time. The words are not bad.

After finishing speaking, Li Junxian stood on one side with his head bowed. His duty was to monitor all the officials. As for the emperor's decision, he could not and did not dare to intervene.

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beautiful beard, concentrated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The Shandong family... is restless."
