Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 90 Who is the successor

After finishing the chores, the topic gradually turned to the court.

"There are rumors in the market that Dugu Xiangguo is going to resign. I don't know if it is true or not." Li Daozong said.

This rumor began to appear on a small scale in December last year, and now it has finally begun to ferment. Many ordinary officials know about it.

"True or not, how do we know. But I think the sage will not let Dugu Xiangguo resign. After all, he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty." Li Daoxuan said.

The contribution made by the Guanlong family is basically known to the clan.

Li Daozong shook his head, "It's hard to say, although Dugu Huai'en did not participate in Li's conspiracy, but Dugu Xiangguo probably feels ashamed."

"Dugu Xiangguo has worked hard and made great achievements, and the emperor will not treat him badly." Li Zhiyun echoed.After the prince's reminder, Li Zhiyun already knew that Duguzhen would definitely leave the Zhengshitang.Perhaps, this is the reason why Lao Li let Dugu Wynn go.

But having said that, Lao Li is also ruthless enough to let Dugu Zhen go home directly, which is bold enough.

Li Daoxuan said in mourning: "I'm really choked up in Chang'an, and I don't know when the saint will allow me to go to the battlefield and make meritorious service for the country."

"Then why don't you ask Wulang to take you with him." Li Daozong joked.

Li Zhiyun smiled and said: "If Daoxuan has such intentions, next time I have the opportunity to go out, I can come with me."

what?
Li Daozong was taken aback, he was joking.

"Really?" Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up.

Li Zhiyun teased: "You really think I don't know what you mean by coming here."

When he got married, Li Daoxuan, who was the best man, was beating Li Zhiyun's meaning, how could he not know.

Li Daoxuan was afraid that Li Zhiyun would go back on his word, so he hurriedly said: "That's a good deal, don't lie to me."

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you."

"I want it too!" Li Daozong stopped drinking his fragrant tongue, and immediately asked, "Zhiyun, add me, add me!"

"Aren't you preparing for it?" Li Zhiyun said, "Why are you joining in the fun?"

"You can't treat one more favorably than another, just add me." Li Daozong said hastily.He never thought that Li Zhiyun would agree to such a thing as Li Daoxuan, but now that Li Daoxuan got the promise, he couldn't sit still.

Li Zhiyun said: "Okay, I will try my best to ask my father when the time comes."

Li Daoxuan and Li Daozong laughed, and the former said: "If the fifth brother speaks, the sage will definitely agree. The younger brother will replace the water with tea, and offer a cup to the fifth brother."

After all, he drank the sparrow tongue in one gulp.

Such a rough way of drinking, normally, Li Daozong would say that he spoiled good tea, but now, Li Daozong followed suit and offered Li Zhiyun a cup of tea instead of water.

Li Zhiyun asked: "The second brother is short of manpower, why don't you find the second brother?"

"There is no place for us over there." Li Daoxuan said sullenly: "Dou Gui and others have already stood in the pit."

Standing pit?
Brother, can you be more civilized?

"Don't be angry, Dou Gui and others followed the second brother earlier, so it should be." Li Zhiyun explained.

Li Daozong said in a low voice: "Wulang, it's not that simple. Not only Dou Gui, but also the Yu family and other Guanlong children have been in contact with King Qin recently."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was silent for a while, and said: "Daozong, don't say this outside in the future, so as not to cause trouble."

"I know." Li Daozong nodded.

Before the opening of the dynasty, the news of Dugu Zhen's resignation has spread all over the sky.Regarding this, the sage in the palace did not come forward to give any explanation, as if acquiescing to the news.

As a result, it was another expected disturbance.

Who is the successor?
If you go to one of the six phases of Zhengshitang, you must enter one.

Now in the court, who can be the prime minister?
Soon, two people were pushed onto the stage.

Wen Daya, the servant of the Huangmen, and Zhan, the prince of the Minister of Rites, Li Gang.

Both of them are fine in terms of seniority, Wen Daya is Jinyang Yuancong, and Li Yuan joined the army as the secretary of the General's Mansion when Li Yuan started the army, and he won Li Yuan's trust.Needless to say, Li Gang has served in two dynasties and is well known as a direct minister.

Needless to say in terms of ability, Wen Daya is now the servant of the Huangmen, passed on the imperial decree, and occasionally helps the emperor to consult state affairs.Li Gang is Prince Zhan Shi, responsible for teaching the prince, such a person has knowledge, ability and reputation.

After choosing and choosing, everyone found that these two people were evenly matched to some extent.

Difficult to do.

Wen Fu.

"Brother, do you want to compete for the position of prime minister?" The third brother Wen Dayou asked Wen Daya while coughing.

Wen Dayou is currently Zhongshu Shilang, Zhongshuling's adjutant, and is a senior official.At the same time, because Wen Daya was the servant of the Huangmen, many people spoke to the emperor and felt that it was inappropriate for the Wen brothers to be in the center.

The emperor didn't pay attention to it, which shows the status of the Wen brothers in Li Yuan's mind.

"I never had such a heart!" Wen Daya was originally a gentle person, but now he is depressed and angry.Because Chang'an officials talked about him as a contender for the position of prime minister, he never thought about it!

Especially, the other party is still Li Gang.

Li Gang once showed kindness to the three Wen brothers.

Wen Dayou coughed violently again, "Then it's troublesome now, colleagues are all rumoring that eldest brother will be the prime minister."

"Dou Wei also said that?" Wen Daya's eyes were serious.

Although he didn't know what happened, but if Dugu Zhen really wanted to resign, the twists and turns would be far from simple, and he didn't want to pick peaches from Dugu's family.

Wen Dayou shook his head, "Although I am the adjutant of Zhongshuling, Dou Wei never allowed me to meddle in the government affairs, so how could he tell me these things. However, this matter is rumored in the public, so it's hard to know. "

Hearing this, Wen Daya's mind flickered quickly, and after a while, he said: "It seems that someone is targeting me."

against?

Wen Dayou pondered for a moment, then said: "Brother, what do you mean, someone wants to use Big Brother to prevent Li Gang from assuming the position of Prime Minister?"

Wen Daya pursed her lips, "I don't know, but I don't think it's simple. Li Gang is the Prince Zhan Shi and Minister of Rites. With his qualifications and prestige, it's justifiable to be the Prime Minister. But someone just pulled me out, it's not that simple .”

"Could it be someone from the Dugu family?" Wen Dayou guessed: "If Dugu Zhen really wants to resign, could it be that the Dugu family is obstructing the sage's decision on this matter?"

"No." Wen Daya said firmly: "With Dugu Zhen's situation, there is no need to play the trick of three words and three concessions. If he wants to resign, he will definitely resign."

"Who could it be?" Wen Dayou frowned and thought deeply, suddenly, he thought of something, and lowered his voice, "Brother, Li Gang belongs to the crown prince, could it be?"

"Shut up!" Wen Daya's complexion changed drastically, and she interrupted Wen Dayou instantly, yelling in a low voice, "Don't say such things!"

"Yes, yes, cough, cough, brother understands, cough cough."

Realizing that he was too excited and scared his younger brother, Wen Daya quickly comforted him.

Wen Dayou waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and continued: "Brother, no matter what, this matter must not be taken lightly."

"I know, I'll take it seriously."
