save the bachelors

Chapter 2735 2737 [Western State Marriage]

After hearing this, Li Chengji couldn't help being taken aback.

He looked at Li Yu blankly, hoping to get an accurate answer.

Li Yu let out a long sigh.

Li Chengji was already established as the prince when he was still a child.

After more than [-] years of hard teaching, I thought that he would become a wise and powerful man, a great talent of the world, but I didn't expect him to be so confused, not as clear as the lazy fifth child.

Li Chengji immediately understood that what Xiang Nan said was correct.

He was so stupid that he was used as a weapon by the powerful family members and asked to investigate the Qijuzi case over and over again.

As a result, the world's public opinion was raging and turmoiled, and scholars all over the world were full of doubts about the imperial examinations, and the good governance of the court to win over talents and appease the hearts of the people almost came to naught.

If it hadn't been for the emperor Li Xiong's talent and strategy, who resisted public opinion and supported the imperial examination, then the imperial examination might really be abolished.At that time, the power of the government will be controlled by the powerful, and the common people will not have a bright future.

He has simply become a sinner of the rich dynasty.

"Father, you are confused, you are confused!" Li Chengji kowtowed repeatedly, regretting his mistakes.

"That's all!" Li Yu was so angry that he almost wanted to kill the prince, but when he saw that the prince finally came to his senses and found his way back, he decided to spare him.

……

The second prince Li Chengye, the third prince Li Chengwen, and the fourth prince Li Chengyuan who were on the side were stunned when they saw that Xiang Nan was eloquent and persuaded the stubborn prince with a few words.

Especially Li Chengye's heart was full of alarm bells.

He didn't take fifth brother seriously at first, thinking that he was lazy and had nothing to do.But looking at it now, the fifth younger brother is obviously extremely scheming and intelligent, so he really shouldn't be underestimated.

……

At this moment, Cao Ji, the emperor's valet, came in, "Long live, Xizhou urgent report."

Xiang Nan knew that it was from Empress Mingyuan, suggesting that Feng Chao and Xizhou should get married.

Li Yu took a look at it, and immediately ordered Cao Ji to call a group of officials to discuss matters, and then looked at Xiang Nan, Li Chengji and other princes, "You all follow!"

Everyone came to Tai Chi Hall immediately.

After a while, all the ministers and empresses also arrived.

Immediately, the emperor ordered Cao Ji to read the Xizhou urgent report, "Xizhou is the gateway to the western region, and if it is not stable, the western region will be unstable. We have been in harmony with Xizhou for many years in the rich dynasty, and we are friendly and peaceful.

Now Princess Mingyuan is seriously ill and will die soon, so I suggest that Prince Fuchao marry the First Princess of Xizhou.I think this suggestion is very good, so let's discuss it, all the courtiers. "

"Your Majesty, I recommend that King Xuande be the envoy to go to Xizhou to ask for relatives. First, you can explore the reality of several countries in the western region, so as to know yourself and the enemy; second, the prince goes to ask for relatives, which can also show the sincerity of our court's marriage; third, you can also visit on behalf of your majesty." Princess Mingyuan." King Zhong was the first to get up and said.

As soon as Xiang Nan heard it, he knew that this old boy deserved a beating.

First of all, if it is said that the prince is sent to propose marriage, then no matter what, it will not be the second prince Li Chengye's turn to show his face.After all, the prince is still there, so there is no place for the second child.

Secondly, King Zhong supported King Xuande to go to Xizhou to ask for his marriage. Naturally, he wanted to get the moon first if he was close to the water.

At that time, once King Xuande establishes a relationship with Princess Nine of Xizhou, he can use her to win the support of Xizhou, which will be of great help to his ascension to the crown prince.

……

Emperor Li Zhen didn't speak when he heard what King Zhong said.

On the contrary, Zhang Meiniang almost frowned when she heard what he said.

This loyal king is always facing King Xuande, and he will cling to him first when he has any good things, which is really disgusting.

Just then, I heard the sound of duo, duo, duo.

As soon as Xiang Nan heard it, he knew that Prime Minister Gao Ming had arrived.

Gao Ming suffered from a stroke a few years ago and had to lie at home for a year before he could go to court.Because of the serious sequelae left, not only often walked with a cane, but also always tilted his head when talking to people.A picture of dying, not long in the world.

However, Xiang Nan knew that he was actually pretending to be sick, and the purpose was to dispel the emperor's wariness towards him.

Because his power is too great, not only as the prime minister himself, but also above ten thousand people under one person.And the three sons are also prominent officials.

The eldest son, Gao Xian, sits in Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory, and the second son, Gao Kun, is the Secretary of the Household Department.The third son is the least promising, but he is also in the Ministry of War.And his niece is none other than Queen Zhang Meiniang.

Therefore, the members of the Gao family alone are the kings and hegemons in the former court and the harem.

Not to mention, he has served as the prime minister for decades, and his followers are all over the government and the public, so he has great power.Therefore, in order to eliminate the emperor's fear, he could only pretend to be sick.

Seeing Prime Minister Gao arrive, Zhang Meiniang's face immediately beamed with joy.

With him around, she wouldn't panic.Because they are a community of interests, he will definitely be towards himself.

……

"I see Your Majesty!" Gao Ming leaned on a cane, came to the front of the hall, and bowed down to pay homage.

"The Prime Minister is not polite. You are not in good health, so you should sit down first." Seeing that his legs and feet are inconvenient, Li Xi said sympathetically.

But Gao Ming still insisted on finishing the kneeling salute, making Xiang Nan secretly admire his prudence.

The so-called companion is like a tiger, and the power of heaven is unpredictable.

Many favored ministers relied on the emperor's favor, so they got carried away with pride and lost their sense of propriety. As a result, they offended the king's face without knowing when and what happened, so that they were disgusted by the emperor, and eventually ended up being demoted, exiled, ransacked, and beheaded.

In comparison, Gao Ming is a smart person.Although he monopolized the power in the court and was at the height of his power, he was still cautious in his words and deeds, walking on thin ice, and did not dare to be sloppy even in small prayers.

It's no wonder that the boat that has sailed for thousands of years with care, has been favored by the emperor for more than [-] years, and is still prosperous.

The insight into the world is knowledge, and the sophistication of human feelings is the article.Xiang Nan learned a lot from Gao Ming.

"In my opinion, the eldest son of the emperor is still here. Letting King Xuande go may break the rules and make foreigners laugh." After Gao Ming stood up, he immediately said to the emperor.

"The crown prince loses his virtue, I'm afraid it will be hard for everyone to believe him." Zhong Wang said.

"Be careful." Gao Ming cast a glance at King Zhong.

Li Chengji couldn't help but blushed when he saw King Zhong speak ill of him in front of his face.

Unexpectedly, these old ministers would no longer take him seriously before his crown prince was abolished.

"Do you still need to hide it? Civil and military officials in the whole court know that the crown prince is involved in the case of juzi." King Zhong continued.

"This matter is still being investigated, and there is no conclusion yet." Gao Ming said.

He seemed to defend the prince, but in fact his purpose was to clear himself.

After all, the prince was targeting him before, but now he was bitten by the judges. The prince bribed them to frame him, and everyone would suspect that he was the one who tricked the judges, and bribed the judges to frame the prince.

Gao Ming is old and cunning, knowing that the prince has fallen into the well.You don't have to throw yourself into trouble, others will bury the prince alive.At this time, it is even more necessary to clean yourself, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.

Because the emperor is not an idiot, even if he is temporarily deceived, he will understand sooner or later.The higher the jump at this time, the easier it is to attract disasters in the future.

After all, the crown prince is the emperor's own son and his successor who has been raised by him for more than [-] years.Whoever harmed him will be punished in the future.
