Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1384 Partisan Controversy
The division of power is sometimes quick.

Chinese people naturally like to form cliques, once the time is right, these behaviors above the court will not be less.

Soon, in the court, several parties formed around several princes or princes.

There are only six of them, each of which is different.

Among the six departments, Sun Shunde, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, supported Prince Li Chengqian. The reason why he supported Li Chengqian was mainly because of Changsun Wuji. Going on, the best way is naturally to support the next emperor.

The eldest grandson Wuji supports Li Chengqian, so the eldest grandson Shunde naturally also supports Li Chengqian.

Those who supported Wei Wang Li Tai included Gao Shilian, Minister of Punishment, and Hou Junji, Minister of War.

Those who supported Li Ke, the king of Shu, included Li Xiaogong, Minister of Rites, and Zhang Liang, Minister of Industry.

As for Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he did not take refuge in any party, and he was regarded as a centrist.

Of course, because he has a good relationship with Qin Tian, ​​and as the teacher of Prince Li Chengqian, Qin Tian is more inclined to Li Chengqian, and Tang Jian is almost half of the prince.

Each of the six ministers has its own reliance, and the officials below naturally have their own parties.

For a time, the situation in the entire Tang Dynasty became a bit complicated.

As for this situation, although Li Shimin was aware of it, he did not stop it.

In Li Shimin's view, the more forces in the court, the more they can check each other and achieve a balance. In this way, no one can threaten his status, and no one else can dominate.

For Li Shimin, this is a kind of imperial balance.

After Qin Tian saw this situation, he was a little worried. After all, if this situation continues to evolve, it will inevitably form a trend.

Above the court, once the ethos of forming cliques is formed, it will have a very bad influence on the entire Tang Dynasty.

Sometimes, for their own interests, they may disregard the interests of the entire Tang Dynasty.

This kind of thing has never been seen for good.

However, Qin Tian couldn't stop this situation.

Human beings have cliques, and there is nothing you can do to stop them.

All Qin Tian can do is to stick to his own heart and not go with these people.

Although he supports Li Chengqian, most of the time, more often, he still puts the overall situation first.

Of course, the most important thing is Qin Tian's identity.

Under normal circumstances, those who participate in party struggles are civil servants, and military generals generally do not get involved.

Military generals hold military power in their hands, and they are the objects of Li Shimin's fear. If they keep themselves clean, they can talk about anything, but if they are attached to the prince, then Li Shimin will be worried.

After being attached to the prince, there is a possibility of rebellion. It is no wonder that Li Shimin can rest assured.

Military generals also understand this truth, unless it is absolutely necessary, they will not attach themselves to that prince.

Qin Tian is a civil servant as well as a general, so naturally he dare not take refuge in anyone easily.

Above the court, these situations seem to be intensifying.
-
Midsummer is approaching, and the weather in Chang'an City is extremely hot.

Li Shimin has recovered from the grief of Empress Changsun's death.

Go to court every day, review memorials, and go to other concubines at night to have fun.

He is a man, so naturally he can't restrain his needs.

And at this time, others felt that the time was almost up.

This morning, when the discussions in the hall were almost done, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a statement."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "What is Aiqing going to do?"

"Your Majesty, the harem cannot be without a master for a day, and the world cannot be without a mother to regulate women. Therefore, I ask you to be a queen."

The harem needs people to take care of it, and all the women in the world should take the queen as a model. It stands to reason that the position of queen cannot be vacant, and the existence of a queen is relatively important.

After the official brought this up, other people in the court immediately followed suit.

"Your Majesty, my Great Tang really cannot live without a queen. Your Majesty should confer the title of Empress as soon as possible."

"That's right, that's right, the Holy Majesty should be canonized as a queen as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, my Great Tang cannot live without a queen, otherwise how can my Great Tang feel at ease?"

The ministers talked one after another, Li Shimin sat on it, his eyebrows twitched slightly, he was indeed very sad when the eldest grandson passed away, but the sadness is the sadness, this Tang Dynasty really cannot live without a queen.

Otherwise, no one is in charge of the harem, so it might be a mess.

But who is more suitable for this queen?
Li Shimin rolled his eyes, looked at the ministers and said: "Your loves are timely, the harem cannot be left without a master for a day, but it's just that you think that in the harem, who is more suitable to be the queen?"

Hearing that Li Shimin agreed to canonize the queen, some people in the court immediately became excited, because Li Shimin agreed to the canonization, which means there is hope.

There is hope for this kind of thing.

Soon, the people in the court stood up.

"Your Majesty, among the harem, Concubine Yang is the most suitable. Concubine Yang has been in love with the Holy Majesty for many years, and has the ability to control the harem."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I also think Concubine Yang is suitable..."

Li Ke's power in the court is not weak, and now he must have his mother concubine elected if he wants to choose the queen. If his mother concubine becomes the queen, it will be much easier for him to compete for the crown prince.

However, when someone supported Concubine Yang in the court, many people also began to recommend gentleness.

"Your Majesty, I think it's good to be a gentle lady. Your Majesty loves her deeply, and at the same time she is very kind. It's really a good choice."

"Yes, my empress has both ability and integrity, gentle and virtuous. If she becomes a queen, she will definitely be able to maintain order in the harem and set an example for the women of the Tang Dynasty."

"........."

Some supported Concubine Yang, some supported Wenrou, and immediately afterward, they started attacking each other again, and they took great pleasure in attacking.

Some people say that Wen Wen’s background is not good, she is just a woman from an ordinary family, and after these people said Wen Wen, the gentle people immediately attacked Concubine Yang, saying that Concubine Yang’s father was Emperor Sui Yang, who was very cruel and so on.

The two sides attacked in different ways.

But when these people were arguing endlessly, Prince Li Chengqian and Wei Wang Li Tai frowned, very displeased.

They don't want their father to be a queen. After all, if their father is a queen, then what are they?
With a new empress, the princes of the new empress will definitely be favored and have more advantages, but this prince will definitely not be them.

Of course, apart from the consideration of interests, they still have a little emotion. Their mother and queen have only died for a month or two, and their father is in a hurry to confer the title of queen. What about the so-called relationship between husband and wife?
