Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 290 Four brothers grounded at the same time

The crown prince's statement, in the eyes of the ministers and even the emperor, is an admission of cowardice.

The clever courtiers had already thought that Liu Wenjing's departure would be a huge blow to the prince.Looking at the prince's current performance, he feels disheartened and doesn't want to meddle in the government anymore.

Emperor Li Yuan knew this better than anyone else.

Before, he guessed that Liu Wenjing's departure would cause the prince to complain and be unwilling, but he never expected that the prince would make such a statement now, which caught him off guard.

"Prince, you have to pay attention to the important affairs of the government."

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly, and said sincerely: "Father, my son knows that he is dull in intelligence and inferior to his second brother, so he doesn't want to delay the government."

"Yes, father." Li Yuanji also said: "With the second brother here, everything is safe."

If the prince's "admission" is surprising, then Li Yuanji's performance today is incredible.

Because, in the past, Li Yuanji always stood on the opposite side of King Qin.

What happened today, the crown prince and King Qi are brothers and sisters?

The ministers felt very incredible.

But in Li Yuan's view, this is a dangerous signal.

So he asked Li Shimin, "King Qin, who do you think can be the prime minister?"

Such a good opportunity, in the past, Li Shimin can wake up with a smile.But this time, he sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't speak hastily, but said cautiously: "The prince is the heir, and the sons and daughters mainly follow the prince's wishes."

Li Zhiyun wanted to laugh in his heart, if you motherfuckers are sincerely so humble, why would I bother to do so.

An anecdote through the ages!

In the eyes of Tang Chen, the crown prince and King Qin did not behave like themselves today.

Li Yuan was caught off guard because of the unexpected humility of the crown prince and King Qin.He had already prepared himself to listen to the quarrel between the prince and King Qin, and then balance it out.

But the prince's unexpected performance made him feel like he had punched nothing.

Immediately, he looked at King Chu.

Li Zhiyun made eye contact with Li Yuan, and walked out of the queue helplessly.

"Father."

Li Yuan was very satisfied with Li Zhiyun's understanding, he asked: "The prince said that he agrees with King Qin. King Qin said that he mainly takes the prince's opinion. Zhiyun, what do you think?"

Ma De, how many times have I said that I call Li Zhiyun not Li Yuanfang.You stepped on the horse and named me, but you didn't remember my name, right?

"I would like to report to my father that the affairs of the prime minister are of great importance. My son and minister have little knowledge and dare not speculate."

Paddle!

The king of Chu paddled as usual, and the officials were not surprised at all.It would be very strange if the King of Chu announced that he would be selected today.

Li Yuan's face darkened visibly, he knew that the sequelae of Liu Wenjing's relegation appeared.The prince couldn't compete against the King of Qin, so he simply lay down.

But in this Great Tang, there is only one person who can lie flat, and that is Zhen!
"Bastard!" Li Yuan shouted violently.

The four sons quickly knelt down.

Li Yuan got up, walked down the imperial steps, and came to the four sons.

"One of you is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the three of you are the princes of the Tang Dynasty. You blame each other for important affairs of state affairs, and you don't think about making suggestions. What do you want to do? You are still my sons!"

I can't hear I can't hear, I can't hear!
Li Zhiyun lowered his head, looked at the gap in the floor, said nothing, his ears automatically turned on the shielding function, and Lao Li continued to talk nonsense.

Lao Li didn't know how long he talked, but finally stopped.

"Since you are so careless, then go back to the mansion and be banned for three months!"

"Yes." The prince was the first to agree.

Immediately afterwards, King Qi and King Chu also agreed one after another.

Li Shimin finally agreed.Originally, he wanted to recommend one of his own people for the photoshoot today, but the prince's unexpected performance made him dare not act rashly.

pity.

The fight between the crown prince and the king of Qin that the officials thought did not happen, but the four princes were all banned for three months.

It can be called the biggest reversal since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

After the court was over, Lao Li felt depressed, so he summoned Pei Ji to accompany him on a boat trip to the South China Sea.

Li Yuan was wearing a bamboo hat, holding a fishing rod, and staring at the lake calmly.Beside him, Pei Ji waited on him carefully.

"Pei Ji."

"The old minister is here."

"Do you think I did too much this time?"

Pei Ji knew what Li Yuan meant, and pondered, "It's true that Liu Wenqi practiced witchcraft, and His Majesty's treatment was not too much. Even the old minister felt that His Majesty was too kind. Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty, the scourge of witchcraft, killed How many people died?"

"Do you want me to abolish the crown prince too?" Li Yuan said suddenly.

thump!
Pei Ji knelt on the ground and said carefully: "The old minister has no such intention."

Li Yuan was silent, and after a while, he said, "Get up."

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan asked: "Nowadays, King Qin is powerful in the court, and the crown prince has to avoid his edge. Tell me, is there something I want to do?"

Then you do it, what do you ask me for?
Pei Ji slandered in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty is thinking about stabilizing the court situation."

"Then who do you think will be the new prime minister?" Li Yuan asked immediately.

Pei Ji thought for a while, then tentatively asked, "Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites?"

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes shook slightly.

"I don't worry about Li Gang's handling of things. I just use him as a prime minister. I'm afraid the courtiers will have opinions."

I have a fart opinion, why didn't you consider these when you promoted Yang Gongren.

"In your Majesty's opinion, who can be the new prime minister?"

Li Yuan rubbed the fishing rod slightly, and asked, "How is Pei Ju, the supervisor in the palace?"

Pei Ji's eyes dimmed a bit, and he didn't dare to refute.

"Your Majesty is wise, Pei Ju has served in two dynasties, and his qualifications and prestige are all the top choices."

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded, followed by comforting words: "I know your ambitions, but there are some things that I can't do anything about. Wenxi's Pei family has many marriages with Shandong families, and Pei Ju is highly respected in Shandong families. With your ability , It is unrealistic to want to replace it.”

"The old minister understands."

Seeing this, Li Yuan sighed slightly in his heart, and said: "Linhai has also reached the age of marriage, I think Lawyer Pei looks good, so let's do it, I will marry you as an in-law, what do you think?"

Pei Ji bowed and bowed, "The old minister, on behalf of the dog, thank Your Majesty for His grace."

"Ah."

Qin Wangfu.

Li Shimin asked his staff, "What do you think the prince wants to do today?"

Whether it was Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, or Yu Zhining, they were not fools, so naturally they would not simply think that the crown prince was admitting cowardice.

"Advance is based on retreat." Changsun Wuji said firmly: "The crown prince probably wants to avoid His Highness's sharpness, and deliberately pretends to be vulnerable, so as to attract the vigilance of the saint."

"It's possible." Yu Zhining said: "Now the crown prince's power in the court is completely at a disadvantage against us. He knows that even if he wants to fight, he may not be able to win against us. He wants to reproduce Dou's things."

Li Shimin was also inclined to this answer in his heart, but he didn't agree rashly.

"Xuanling, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling thought hard for a while, and said, "What the two soldiers said is not unreasonable. It's just that the subordinates feel that this matter is a bit strange."

"Strange?" Changsun Wuji asked, "Where is the strangeness?"

Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "I can't say it, but it feels very weird. Although the prince is now at a disadvantage in front of His Highness in the court, it seems that he will not be so inactive."

"You mean, the prince has other plans?" Yu Zhining asked.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "I hope not, but this time the prince will definitely feel resentment for getting rid of Liu Wenjing. If he has other plans, he must not be underestimated."

Hearing this, the three fell into silence.
