Chapter 310 Trouble is coming
The days are just passing day by day. In a blink of an eye, it is the first day of March. In the matter, Liu Yizhi and the Ministry of Ceremonies are busy with their busyness. The address of the mausoleum of "filial piety to the emperor" has been selected. Zheng, Ru, Qing, Xu and other ten states of people have also reached nearly 30,000 people one after another, and the work on the top of Jingshan. The land has started in an all-round way. Perhaps because of the construction of the mausoleum, the project is progressing very fast, and there are few complaints. All kinds of things can be said to be very smooth. At the same time, the court is also quiet. The storm of the prince's strange death seems to have passed. No one mention it, but it's just Jing is obviously a little weird, but no one mentions the most important topic - Prince Li!
The prince is the crown prince, and the foundation of the society has been the top priority of the country since ancient times. The rise and fall are not small. However, the court will be endlessly controversial, but this time it is strange. The prince has been dead for more than 20 days, and no one in the court has mentioned this matter. Not only the courtiers keep silent, but also those who come to mourn from other places. The princes and assassins didn't say anything about it. What's more strange is that neither Emperor Gao Zong nor Empress Wu actually mentioned this matter. On the contrary, all kinds of folk rumors are endless, and there are everything they say, especially those who come to the exam are even more enthusiastic - there is no way, the prince may come down, and this funeral will not be over. Enke could not proceed as usual. Seeing that the originally scheduled date was coming, there was no movement in the court. It was strange that the children were not in a hurry. Unfortunately, the emperor was not in a hurry, and the "eunuch" had no choice but to die in a hurry. Except for waiting, no one dared to jump out to look for trouble at this delicate time.
Quiet and quiet. This day seems to be quiet to eternity. However, this is obviously impossible. The tranquility before the storm has always been short-lived. With the death of a generation of famous Yan Liben, this tranquility has finally been completely knocked into pieces. It is not because of the high power of Yan Li, nor because At that age, Gao Dezhao, because Yan Li wrote the book "Ask for Life on the End of Life", or Ming Zhang, he strongly called for the establishment of Li Xian, the king of Lu, as the crown prince. In this way, the taboo topic of Li Chujun was torn apart. Wenwu in the Manchu Dynasty could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb to avoid talking about it. A wave of storage was instantly. After winding up the whole court, in the wind and rain all over the city, Gao Zong, who was sick in bed, had to make an edict to make all the officials discuss the establishment of the reserve.
Since Gao Zong has made a decree, it doesn't matter whether he is willing or not. After discussion, it is inevitable to express an attitude. However, this situation does not seem to be so good. It is not because Gao Zong has a lot of children. In fact, under the " wise leadership" of the Empress Wu, Comrade Gao Zong's harem is surprisingly empty, except for the queen. In addition, there is not even a concubine, so there is naturally not much Zixi. Compared with the vast lineup of more than a dozen sons and more than 30 princesses of Taizong, Gaozong has only eight sons and three daughters. Obviously, it is a little shabby. What's more pitiful is that the eldest son of the concubine, the former prince Li Zhong and the "filial piety emperor" are all The Empress Dowager Wu was born. The first three of the remaining six sons are all concubines. This time, when they went to the funeral, only a few columns of incense were put on, and they were sent back to the office by Gao Zong. There is no doubt that the master does not have the share of the three concubines. The rest is just one of the three Li Xian brothers. Things seem to be simple, but in fact, it is just the same. On the contrary, let's not talk about Li Xulun's little child who hasn't grown up yet. Even if the Queen Wu's party is secretly jumping up and down, he is trying to fan the wind, but the courtiers don't really take it seriously. Speaking of it, it's just Li Xian and Li Xian's choice, but the problem is here.
The rules of the crown prince seem to be very simple. It's nothing more than the three rules of standing, standing, standing chief and standing sages, but in fact, it is not the same. In most cases, the standing crown prince is the result of the game between emperors and courtiers, even the strong Taizong Li Shimin, who has always been standing as the crown prince. In terms of the matter, I also had to listen to the opinions of the courtiers, gave up Li Ke, the king of Wu, who wanted to stand most, and finally set up such a soft egg like Li Zhi. Obviously, because of the consistent weakness of Emperor Gao Zong, the opinions of the courtiers were obviously that the words on the matter of establishing a crown prince were greater than that of Emperor Taizong. In the face of the great achievements, the courtiers had long With red eyes, I don't know how many times I have calculated in private. I'm looking forward to the will of Gao Zong's throne. With Yan Liben's desperate book, all the courtiers who are qualified for this chapter are immediately activated. The series of joint signatures and joint signatures are very busy. Some people plan to support Li Xian and are ready to protect. There are also those who recommend Li Xian - the former naturally advocates the establishment of the direct position, while the latter is the recognition of the establishment of the direct sage. Although the two factions have not been officially established, they have been fighting for several times in private. The public is reasonable and the mother-in-law is reasonable. No one can convince anyone. When they see or will fight a decisive battle in the court, a book The birth of Zhang broke the balance between the two sides like a shocking Thunderbolt - Li Zhen, the king of Yue, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Lingkui, the king of Lu, Li Yuangui, etc., jointly recommended the thirteen princes and princes of Luoyang to protect Li Xian, the king of England, as the crown prince. As soon as this chapter came out, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the voice of the king of England was very arrogant. On the dust.
The trouble finally came. Although Li Xian had expected it earlier, he was still a little depressed by Li Zhen's sudden heavy punch. He didn't believe that Li Zhen really wanted to recommend him to enter the East Palace. The reason why he did this was to muddy the water. There is no doubt that he had ulterior motives. If it is crushed and analyzed, there are four possibilities:
First, if Li Xianzhen wants to live in the East Palace, he is bound to fight with Li Xian, and the situation of the dynasty will be in chaos. If Li Xian wins, he will undoubtedly be the strongest prince since the Gaozong Dynasty. Under such circumstances, in order to ensure the balance of the dynasty, Gao Zong must introduce balanced forces. There are two, one is to continue to rely on the Empress Dowager Wu and let the Empress Wu fight with Li Xian. This was the old trick played by Gao Zong between Li Hong and the Queen Wu. The reality proved to be unworkable. In other words, after Li Hong's unjust death, Gao Zong no longer dares to absolutely trust the Queen Wu. Therefore, Gao Zong will definitely not choose this road. In this way, Only by introducing such a strong aid as Li Zhen to balance the situation. In this case, it may not be possible for Li Zhen to take advantage of the situation to grasp the overall situation.
Second, if Li Xian wins, in order to ensure the stability of the crown prince's position, Li Xian is bound to go to other places. In this way, it is obviously impossible for Li Xian, who does not have a strong foundation in the court, to check and balance Wu Hou. In order to seek stability, Gao Zong has no choice but to hold Li Zhen.
Third, if Li Xian and Li Xian can't hold each other, the turbulence of the dynasty can also bring great benefits to Li Zhen - Taizong has long had the will to come forward. If there is a plan for the East Palace, he will be abandoned! With this alone, Li Zhen can unite with the Empress Wu, take advantage of the stalemate of the court to drive all the Li Xian brothers out of the court, and the rest of Li Xulun will naturally enter the East Palace safely. Of course, in order to ensure the smooth growth of Li Xulun, Li Zhen, who has great achievements, can also take advantage of the situation to stay in the court to preside over. Bureau, with the cooperation between it and the Empress Wu, it is not difficult to hold the court. As for how the two sides want to fight, you can see it at that time.
As for the last possibility, it is Li Xianzhen's unintentional prince, who is dedicated to assisting Li Xian - this possibility is undoubtedly the smallest in Li Zhen's mind. After all, the ** of the throne of the crown prince is really too big. How many princes in ancient and modern times, and how many The more capable the prince is, the more he wants to ascend the throne of God. However, if such a situation really happens, Li Zhen can also play secretly and throw himself to the other side of the Empress Wu, thus forming a confrontation with the Li Xian brothers. In this case, both Gao Zong and Wu Hou are happy to see. In a word, after Li Zhen came to this chapter, she was almost invincible. No matter how the situation changes, he can get benefits from it. What is worse is only the problem of big profits.
The matter is obviously a little tricky. To be honest, Li Xian really didn't expect Li Zhen to be so cruel - in Li Xian's original expectation, Li Zhen's action was a sure thing, but it should have been ferocious after the beginning of the court discussion, but he never expected that Li Zhen would be pinched in the court. Before the discussion, he was so ruthless that Li Xian was very angry that he was secretly plotted by the cold man. However, his anger was attributed to his anger, and he had to be cautious in dealing with it. Li Xian did not dare to be careless at all.
Originally, there was such a vicious guy as the Empress Wu in the court, which made Li Xian dare not deal with it carelessly. If there were more old-fashioned guy like Li Zhen, the fun would be really not small. Li Xian did not believe that Li Xian's ability could cope with the attack of these two old foxes, one was careless. In addition, not only will Li Xian be unlucky, but also Li Xian will have to eat and hang up. In other words, if he can't squeeze Li Zhen out of the court, Li Xian will have to consider whether to hang himself and take advantage of this trend to the situation to reach the top. However, in this way, Li Xian has to turn from the dark to the Queen of Wu. The fight between Li Zhen will be a tragic situation. Maybe the whole society will fall into a situation of collapse, and this is a situation that Li Xian does not want to see.
The trouble is not only coming, but also big. Li Xianzhi is outstanding. In the face of the most complicated situation he has encountered since he entered politics, there is also a sense of tiger eating the sky for a while, and there is no way to talk about it. Although he knows very well that the best result is not only to arch Li Xian into the East Palace, but also to squeeze Li Zhen out of the court. The problem is Where to start, but Li Xian is quite hesitant, but time waits for no one. It's time to make up your mind...
