Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 194 In-depth analysis of the court situation
Now the situation is very obvious, Mrs. Pei does not want to get closer to the East Palace, and is feared by Pei Ji. The sage is partial to Pei Ji's idea of ​​'merging the two Peis'. Wen Xi, Mrs. Pei is struggling in the court.

Pei Xuanji couldn't help asking: "Father, why did you reject the prince?"

The brazier was burning hot, and the melting flames made Pei Ju's thoughts soar.

"Do you think Mrs. Pei should be loyal to the crown prince?"

"Father, the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Zheng family in Xingyang are all loyal to the East Palace. The Pei family is also part of the Shandong family and has always been with them. My child really doesn't understand why you reject the prince."

If Mrs. Pei had leaned towards the East Palace, this incident could have been completely avoided.

"You, you are too young to understand anything." Pei Ju shook his head and said, "Prince of the Eastern Palace, although the title has been decided early, whether he will be the king or not in the future is still a question."

"What?" Pei Xuanji was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "What does father mean by that?"

Pei Ju explained: "The Donggong team is all from the Shandong family, but the world is not controlled by the Shandong family. Li Tang is based in Guanlong, such as Yu Wentai back then. Although he adopted Su Chuo's suggestion and accepted the Han family, in essence It is still based on the soldiers of Wuchuan. Now, the crown prince relies heavily on the Shandong family, which has violated the entire Guanlong family. Since the Dugu family withdrew from the court, the Dou family has been the leader of Guanlong, and they are the foundation of Li Tang's foothold."

"But do you see how many Guanlong children are serving the prince? On the contrary, the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Zhining, Dou Gui and others of the Prince of Qin's mansion all came from the Guanlong family. Think about it with your head, the prince once served as the emperor. Will the Guanlong family agree? The events of Prince Yong of the former Sui Dynasty and King Guang of Jin are vivid in my mind, and the Guanlong family will never allow a second Yang Guang to appear."

"Furthermore, in my opinion, it is not only the prince's fault that caused the fight between the crown prince and the king of Qin. The emperor knew this, but he Instead of stopping it, it condoned it, so it can be seen that the emperor is also on guard against the East Palace."

"Even if the crown prince and the Guanlong family can't get together, I'm afraid the emperor is behind the scenes. Now that the crown prince has the help of the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Zheng family of Xingyang, if he can get the support of the Guanlong family again, think about it, the emperor Can you sleep well?"

"The current emperor is only in his fifties, but the crown prince is young and strong. I'm afraid he has some fears in his heart."

Pei Xuanji is relatively young, not as sophisticated as his father, let alone his father's decades of experience in officialdom.Hearing this now, the whole person was completely shocked.

All kinds of complexity made Pei Xuanji feel that he was really too young.

Pei Ju continued: "The crown prince's current position seems to be stable, but it is precarious. Without the support of the Guanlong family, and only the Shandong family, he will never be able to control the overall situation. The king of Qin has made great achievements in battles abroad, and his achievements are accumulated day by day. People's hearts are bound to move. Then It is King Qin himself who has no intentions, and his soldiers will not agree in the future. I don't know what the crown prince thinks, he completely rejects people from Guanlong. But judging from the current situation, the East Palace may not be a hot stove."

In fact, Pei Ju could see very clearly that Li Yuan used the East Palace to win over the Shandong family and the Qin Palace to appease the Guanlong family. The aristocratic family fought against the Shandong aristocratic family.In this way, not only can the court be balanced, but also the prince can be suppressed, and the king of Qin can be used to suppress the prince and prevent the prince from seizing power in advance.

Thinking of this, Pei Ju couldn't help laughing secretly, Li Yuan had learned a lot from Yang Jian.

As an old man who has served three generations of emperors, Pei Ju is enough to be called "scheming and calculating".

The reason why he didn't move closer to Donggong was because he didn't want to enter the game so early, because some things were out of control.

No one understands the brutality of the Guanlong family better than him.

Yang Guang was arrogant all his life, but in the end he died in the hands of the Guanlong family.

After a long time, Pei Xuanji asked, "My lord, what should Mrs. Pei do?"

Originally, he thought that there should be no changes in the establishment of the crown prince, but after some analysis by his father, Pei Xuanji's three views collapsed, and now his mind is in chaos.

"Don't worry, everything has just begun." Pei Ju calmed down.

He had never seen such a storm, and he was still able to remain calm in the face of such a storm.

In comparison, everyone in the East Palace was 'excited' this time.

Because the saint's attitude towards Dou Wei is enough to show that he is dissatisfied with Dou Shi!
And this is exactly what Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing and others want to see.

"Your Highness, as long as we continue to work hard, it will be absolutely difficult for the Dou family to escape next time." Liu Wenjing vowed.

Since Li Yuan's defeat in Nanyang, the momentum of the Eastern Palace in the court has dropped sharply, while that of Prince Qin's Mansion has been flourishing day by day, and it has the potential to surpass the Eastern Palace.

This time the saint suddenly attacked Dou Wei, which is enough to show that the Dou family has aroused the fear of the saint.

Li Jiancheng gently rubbed the wine cup and said, "Take your time, follow the trend, don't do it deliberately."

After what happened last time, he has become much more cautious now.

"By the way, hasn't Pei Ju contacted you yet?" Li Jiancheng looked at Wang Gui and Zheng Shanguo.

The two shook their heads.

Wang Gui clasped his hands and said, "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly, this time you shouldn't have sent Mr. Pei to Turkic as an envoy."

"What does Wang Sheren mean?" Liu Wenjing was a little dissatisfied.

If Pei Ju is not allowed to pass by, is it necessary to let him go on an envoy to Turks to die?

Even Zheng Shanguo didn't open his mouth to speak, because Zheng Yuanxuan was his clan brother, so he naturally didn't want Zheng Yuanxuan to go to Turkic as an envoy.

Wang Gui analyzed: "Pei Gong has served in three dynasties, and his thoughts are meticulous. He is very clear about the relationship between Turkic and Datang. His Highness recommends Pei Gong to go to Turkic. I am afraid that Pei Gong thinks His Highness is malicious."

"Malicious?" Li Jiancheng said coldly: "Gu has shown favor many times, but he has ignored it, so what should Gu do? Do you pay attention to the thatched cottage?"

Wang Gui sighed: "Your Highness, the current situation in the court is unpredictable, and it is normal for Mr. Pei to hesitate. If His Highness does this, Mr. Pei will definitely feel bad."

Liu Wenjing disagreed, "Wang Sheren's remarks are inappropriate. His Highness recommended him to be sent to Turkic. This is an opportunity for him to make meritorious service. How can it be considered malicious?"

"you"

Wang Gui was about to refute, but Wei Ting interrupted him, "Your Highness, I think the top priority now is to repel Liu Wuzhou and deal with the Dou family, and the rest can be postponed for the time being."

Li Jiancheng nodded, and said: "This time Dou Wei rejected the father, next time he will not have such a good chance."

Having said that, there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

A few days later, Pei Ju entered the palace to discuss with Li Yuan about sending an envoy to Turks.
