Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 353 Yang Gongren expresses his position and reveals his intentions

Inside the carriage, Yang Gongren and Li Zhiyun sat kneeling opposite each other.The carriages of the Tang Dynasty, especially the carriages of officials and eunuchs, had a relatively large internal area. Although the shock absorbers were average, the area was large enough, and some carriages could accommodate a small table inside.

"What does uncle want to say?" Li Zhiyun asked with a smile.

In private, Li Zhiyun naturally drew closer to Yang Gongren.After all, my wife is the grandniece of King Guan and the niece of Yang Gongren.

Yang Gongren said: "Your Highness, there are some things you did not do properly."

"What's the matter?" Li Zhiyun pretended to be puzzled.

Yang Gongren sighed and asked: "Your Highness, do you know why the sage wants to make His Highness the general of the gods?"

"Because of the meritorious service made by this king?" Li Zhiyun held back a smile in his heart, but answered tentatively on his face.

"No." Yang Gongren shook his head, and said: "Your Highness, General Shence, a general who is better than Tiance, has an overview of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, and Xu Zizhi's subordinates. What a great power. Since ancient times, but The late King Wu of Qin and His Highness received this honor, how could it be just because of His Highness's feats on the battlefield."

Li Zhiyun straightened his face, cupped his hands and said, "Please teach me, uncle."

Yang Gongren nodded and said: "In my opinion, the sage wants His Highness to replace the King of Qin and check and balance the Crown Prince in the court."

"Check and balance the prince?" Li Zhiyun's face was very 'surprised'.

Seeing this, Yang Gongren sighed slightly in his heart, this niece and son-in-law are good at everything, but sometimes they are not smart enough in government affairs, and they think too well about everything and everyone.

Yang Gongren explained: "Your Highness, Your Majesty only tasted the mellowness of the emperor's wine when he was more than fifty years old, but the crown prince is in his prime. How could he not be worried? In the past, when the late Qin Wu King was alive, he had already used King Qin Wu checked and balanced the prince.

Right now, King Wu of Qin has passed away, His Majesty wants to replace King Wu of Qin with His Royal Highness, continue to check and balance the crown prince, and stabilize the court.Now His Highness is telling the Prince every detail, wouldn't it be contrary to His Majesty's original intention to appoint you as the General of Shence? "

Li Zhiyun was 'shocked' for a long time before he came back to his senses and dared not say anything: "Although I know the history, I dare not agree with it. Although there has been no family relationship in the emperor's family since ancient times, father and elder brother, we are all one family. Why is father so suspicious of elder brother?"

Yang Gongren asked: "Don't Your Highness know about the disaster caused by the witchcraft of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past?"

"What does this have to do with what we said?" Li Zhiyun was puzzled.

Yang Gongren explained: "When Prince Li was born in the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu had no children. Almost immediately after the birth of Prince Li, he was quickly crowned prince. Later, the glory and favor spread all over the inside and outside. There was a birth mother queen in the palace, and there were guards outside the palace. Huo Er's relative.

But what about the final result?

In his later years, Emperor Wu was obsessed with power and suppressed Prince Li a lot.The scourge of witchcraft is nothing more than a rhetoric to the outside world, the real reason is that Emperor Wu himself does not want anyone to challenge his power.What's more, he is still an adult prince, a prince who has military merits and relatives to help him.

Your Highness looked at the present, since the sage ascended the throne, he has not allowed the crown prince to touch the military power, and promoted the late Qin Wu King many times, so he is not checking and balancing the crown prince. "

Li Zhiyun knows everything in his heart, but now he has to cooperate with Yang Gongren in acting, and he feels uncomfortable.

After a while, Li Zhiyun murmured: "Why is this, we are all flesh and blood, a family."

Yang Gongren sighed: "Your Highness still needs to make plans early."

Li Zhiyun smiled bitterly and said: "How can I plan, if what uncle said is true, then I will offend the prince. If I don't offend the prince, I will offend the emperor."

Yang Gongren pondered for a while, and said: "The old man has two plans."

Li Zhiyun's spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly said, "Please come, uncle."

"First, Your Highness can follow the path of the mean and remain neutral."

"Uncle, what do you mean, find a way to resign from the position of Admiral Shence?"

Yang Gongren nodded, "If so, His Highness will give up the military power, so that the prince's fear will be completely eliminated, and he will be able to live in peace."

Li Zhiyun pursed his lips and asked again: "What about the second plan?"

Hearing this, the corner of Yang Gongren's mouth twitched slightly, "The second plan is to take the opportunity to fight the prince to the end."

"Fight to the end?" Li Zhiyun was startled, and then asked, "Uncle, do you want me to win the heir?"

Yang Gongren didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

Li Zhiyun smiled wryly, "I'm just a concubine."

Very good, Yang Gongren is very happy with Li Zhiyun's answer, this sentence shows that the king of Chu is ambitious.

"Your Highness, since ancient times, there are not many people who have ascended the throne. Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Sejong Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty, and Emperor Xiaozhao of the former Han Dynasty."

Yang Gongren popularized to Li Zhiyun the emperor who came out of the concubine and ascended the throne in one breath.It can be seen that he really wants Li Zhiyun to win the heir.

After listening, Li Zhiyun did not express his opinion immediately, but sighed: "But I still have my eldest brother and my third brother."

"Your Highness, the prince is tabooed by saints, and King Qi is tyrannical, so you have a chance. If Your Highness is willing to fight, I am willing to help you with all your strength." Yang Gongren cupped his hands and said solemnly.

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun asked curiously: "Why does Yang Gong believe in Zhiyun so much? Are you not afraid that Zhiyun will tell the father or the prince what happened today?"

Yang Gongren knew well that the King of Chu was doubting his intentions.

What bad thoughts could he have? He only wanted to revitalize the Hongnong Yang family, to gain a firm foothold in the Tang Dynasty, and to get rid of his former Sui heritage status.

Of course, the greater ambition is that if the king of Chu succeeds in ascending the throne, then Princess Chu will become the queen, and the son of the king of Chu will be the prince!
He not only wants to fight for a moment, but also fights for the happiness of several generations of the Hongnong Yang family!
In fact, he didn't support King Chu's plan to seize the heir apparent at first, but after King Qin died, King Chu was granted the title of General of Shence, which gave him an opportunity.

Maybe you can't give it a go!
Once successful, the benefits are unimaginable.

He thought very clearly that if the crown prince ascended the throne, the Hongnong Yang family might have to sink for decades.If King Chu ascends the throne, the Hongnong Yang family will rise again.

Everything is driven by interests.

"To tell the truth, Your Highness, if His Highness hadn't rescued him back then, the old minister would have died in the hands of Yu Wenhuaji. After submitting to the court, if His Highness had not conspired, how could this old official be in the position of Prime Minister. His Highness's wife is the veteran's niece. His Highness and The old minister is a family, how can the old minister not do his best for His Royal Highness!"

What he said was so sincere that Li Zhiyun almost believed it.But he knew very well in his heart that Yang Gongren's plan was only made recently.

In the past, he and Yang Gongren had a very close relationship, but they never talked about seizing the heir, and Yang Gongren never hinted at or made insinuations about his attitude.

Now seeing that he was conferred the title of Admiral of Shence, and King Qin was dead, his ambition was ignited.

Li Zhiyun did not agree to him immediately, but said: "Uncle, this matter is not trivial, let me think about it carefully."

"It should." Yang Gongren said: "However, please make plans early, Your Highness, this matter should be done sooner rather than later."

Li Zhiyun smiled helplessly, "I see."

The carriage stopped at Chongrenfang, and Li Zhiyun bid farewell to Yang Gongren.

Riding on the horse, Li Zhiyun had a calm face.

This time Yang Gongren hoped that his attitude of seizing the heir apparent would save him a worry.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to make it clear to Yang Gongren, but now he doesn't have to worry about it.

If he took down Yang Gongren, the former courtier of the Sui Dynasty, the Hongnong Yang family, he would be able to get the support of these people.

Although the power is not great, it is a force anyway.
