Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 337
Fang Mou decided, as Li Shimin's important counselors, the two of them each had their own skills.

Fang Xuanling is good at planning, Du Ruhui is good at making decisions.

Not long after, the two of them hurried into Prince Qin's residence.

Fang Xuanling's figure is slightly fatter, but he is a bit serious, and there is an indescribable depth in his eyes.

Du Ruhui is relatively more casual, giving people a somewhat cynical feeling.

"My lord, why did you call us here?"

Li Shimin asked the two of them to sit down, and then told the story of Lihou, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Du Ruhui sat drinking tea, and did not rush to speak. Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and then said: "My lord, after you go to pray for the queen, the affairs of the court will be very inconvenient. At that time, the empress will be very inconvenient to us. It's unfavorable, and our concubines in the palace are obviously not favored, and it is impossible to be crowned queen."

Li Shimin nodded: "This king knows this well, that's why I called you here and asked what to do next. You can't let the prince's person become the queen."

Fang Xuanling nodded: "In the harem, Concubine Yin De and Zhang Jieyu have the best relationship with the crown prince. Concubine Yin De is most likely to be pushed to the position of queen by the crown prince, but Concubine Yin De's background is not very good. I want to make Concubine Yin De It’s not easy to push it up.”

Having said that, Fang Xuanling paused for a moment, and said again: "However, Concubine Yin De is deeply favored. If she has the support of the prince, it is not difficult to become a queen. Therefore, in the current situation, we need to find a way to stop Concubine Yin De. OK."

Fang Xuanling's meaning is already a bit clear. If their people can't be queens, then they can't let the prince's people be queens.

"What Mr. Fang said is very true, but how can we stop it?"

"This... the prince hasn't done anything yet, so I don't know how to deal with it."

Li Shimin snorted, then looked at Du Ruhui, who had never spoken, and said, "What do you think, Master Du?"

Du Ruhui smiled: "Master Fang is right. At present, it is best to let the matter of the Empress Dowager leave it alone. We just need to wait for the Crown Prince to make a move, and then find a way to break the situation."

"Then how about leaving this matter to the two of you?" Li Shimin looked at the two of them, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, but did not immediately respond.

This matter has a lot to do with it. If there is a mistake, it will be a big mistake. Before they are absolutely sure, they dare not make a decision lightly.

However, they didn't hesitate for too long. Soon, Du Ruhui said: "Don't worry, my lord. As long as the two of us are here in this matter, it is guaranteed that the crown prince will not be able to become a queen."

This is the result of Du Ruhui's weighing and analysis, Li Shimin nodded: "With your words, this king can rest assured."

After the three talked again, Li Shimin finally let the two of them leave.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin went to find Princess Changsun.

"My lord, it's not a short time to go to pray for the queen. I will miss you."

"Princess, this king will miss you too..."

The two of them were talking, and suddenly they couldn't help themselves.
-
At dusk, Song Gongqing came to see Li Jiancheng.

"Mr. Song thought of a solution?"

Song Gongqing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "His Royal Highness, the solution is thought of, but it's a bit...shameless."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, but then asked: "Don't worry about being shameless, just tell me what to do."

"If we want Concubine Yin De to have the capital to compete for the position of queen, we can start from two aspects. One is to improve the status of Concubine Yin De and the Yin family. Yin Ashu, the father of Concubine Yin De, is only a man from the founding county. If we can find a way to improve his status Noble title, Concubine Yin De is considered to be from aristocratic family. Besides, I want to find a way to connect Concubine Yin De with the family. The subordinates learned that Concubine Yin De’s mother seems to be named Cui. Although she is not from the Cui family, we can forcibly marry relatives. Ah, so Concubine Yin De's mother comes from a family, so Concubine Yin De's background is naturally high."

When Song Gongqing was talking, his cheeks were slightly red. Obviously, the method he said was indeed a bit shameless. It was nothing to promote Yin Ashu's title, but it was a bit disgusting and contemptuous to insist on becoming relatives with the aristocratic family.

The key is that this matter is not easy to handle.

The aristocratic family is very clean, and their genealogy is also very complete. It is really hard to talk about being related to them.

After Li Jiancheng heard it, he naturally understood the difficulties, but after thinking about it, he decided to do it.

"As long as Concubine Yin De can become a queen, she will be ashamed if she is a little bit shameless. Go and call me Cui Tong."

Yin Defei's mother's surname is Cui, so she can only forcibly establish a relationship with the Cui family, and Cui Tong happens to belong to Li Jiancheng. From Li Jiancheng's point of view, this matter is easy to solve.

After Song Gongqing took the order, he retreated. Not long after, Cui Tong came to the East Palace in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness announced that his subordinates came here, and I don't know why?"

Li Jiancheng glanced at Cui Tong, and said, "Father is planning to become queen, you know about this, right?"

Cui Tong's expression moved slightly, he naturally knew about it, and the people of the Cui family had already started to prepare for it after hearing the news.

In the harem, there are also people from their Cui family. They hope that their Cui family can be made queens, so that their Cui family can feel proud.

It's just that he didn't understand what Li Jiancheng meant by asking this question.

After hesitating for a moment, Cui Tong said: "Of course I have heard about this matter."

Li Jiancheng nodded: "In the harem, Concubine Yin De is the most favored by the father, and Concubine Yin De supports the prince. The prince wants to help her win the throne, but Concubine Yin De's background is not good, but her mother's surname is Cui. , may be from your Cui family."

After speaking, Li Jiancheng raised his head and looked at Cui Tong. The meaning of his words was already very clear. Although what he said was not very direct, it was enough for people to understand what he wanted to express.

After Cui Tong heard this, he cursed secretly in his heart, what is meant by someone from their Cui family, how can their Cui family have someone like Yin Defei's mother?
Although he has never met Concubine Yin De's mother, and she is dead, but he has seen Yin Ashu. Can a person like Yin Ashu marry any good woman?
Let Yin Defei's mother become their Cui family, it is an insult to their Cui family.

Their aristocratic family values ​​reputation the most, this is absolutely not acceptable.

Moreover, they wanted the woman from the Cui family to be the queen, so how could they help Concubine Yin De?
The atmosphere in the main hall of the East Palace suddenly became solemn. Li Jiancheng looked at Cui Tong with great interest. Cui Tong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then said: "His Royal Highness, this matter is of great importance, and it is definitely not my decision. Go back and discuss it with the people in the clan."
