Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 212

Perhaps in Zhang Jianzhi's view, it was the best time for Di Renjie to see the change of Emperor Wu.

Zhang Jianzhi is in a high position, but he does not have the appeal of Di Renjie, nor the influence of the Wu brothers, nor even the favor of the Zhang brothers.But life always requires hard work. He has been familiar with the five books since he was young, but he has never had the opportunity to show it. Now that he is old, and the Emperor Wu is also old, he just happens to be able to make a fortune, even if it is not for his own ideals. It can also give some blessings to the descendants.

As for why King Lu Ling was chosen, probably in his heart, he always thought that King Lu Ling was the most helpless, but he had the status of the eldest son.Somewhat similar to his experience when he was young, he worked hard, but his political achievements did not fall on his head.

Slowly get used to the cunning of the chief, maybe you will understand this.Managing people's hearts can often benefit the most.For example, he is able to have today, isn't it because he understands Di Renjie's thoughts and misses Datang.

It's a pity that the current Di Renjie is no longer the Di Renjie of the past. He has met King Lu Ling from a long distance away, and he has also learned the methods of the princess.
Di Renjie felt sorry for King Lu Ling from the bottom of his heart, but he never regarded Emperor Wu as a foolish emperor, and he never objected to her being emperor.Many years ago, Zhang Jian's words made him feel that he had found a confidant, but now he was suddenly bored.

Not everyone stays where they are, he has new ideas, but old friends stay where they are.

However, it is always good for someone to feel sorry for King Lu Ling, and Di Renjie will not object.

Seeing Di Renjie's partial agreement, Zhang Jianzhi felt reassured, "If His Majesty the Emperor listens to the slander and reuses treacherous ministers that day, even if I give up this body, I will have to Qingjun to seek justice for King Luling."

Di Renjie paused for a moment with the cup he was holding. Is this plotting a rebellion? "Who is the treacherous minister, and whose slander is it? Your Majesty is wise and powerful. King Luling has his own opinions on matters. Mr. Zhang must not make mistakes."

Zhang Jianzhi: "Sir, how can there be any reason to pass the country to your daughter?"

Isn't Your Majesty a woman? Di Renjie reached out his hand to stop him from continuing, "Master Zhang, Your Highness the Princess is the support of the people of the ruling and opposition parties, and actions that go against the will of the people will not be supported. You and I have been friends for many years, so I naturally know what Master Zhang is thinking. I don't know what to say, if Di Renjie is gone, I don't care what Master Zhang will do, but Di Renjie will never do anything disloyal to His Majesty."

Zhang Jian's expression immediately changed. If he could call enough people, he would not come to talk about Di Renjie at night. "If Mr. Di doesn't come out to uphold justice, then the Tang Dynasty will be over."

This sentence made him very unhappy, and Di Renjie put down his glass heavily, "Justice is in the hearts of the people, Mr. Zhang has overstepped."

Datang is only delaying in its own way. There is no such thing as an end. The world is still owned by the Li family of Datang, and his loyalty has not been wrongly paid.

Zhang Jianzhi immediately withdrew his thoughts, "I was confused."

This was an unpleasant banquet. Di Renjie wanted to leave. Thinking of what he had said, he added, "The Zhang brothers are not allowed to participate in government affairs. It doesn't matter whether they support King Lu Ling or not. Your Majesty decides on important matters." Will be affected by these little people."

Zhang Jianzhi agreed, and hurriedly dismissed the table, it seems that his idea of ​​remonstrance had to be carried out in a different way.

Di Renjie felt physically and mentally exhausted. People in the world have complicated hearts. He used to feel tired when he thought about restraining others. Later, he realized that restraining himself with a clear conscience was enough. He also met a couple of like-minded friends, and felt more relaxed for a while. .Now, I'm getting tired again.

The dream of wealth and honor, the comfortable nest, no one can avoid the vulgarity.

Cui Xuan is also back.

But the first thing he entered was not the Princess Mansion, but the Cui Mansion. In the father-son education of the aristocratic family, all goodness and filial piety are the first, and loyalty to the emperor is the last. The family is greater than the imperial power.Moreover, my brother and elders, who traveled far away for a long time, miss them very much. Now that they are back, when Shen Sanwen didn't ask the question clearly, he naturally had to visit the elders as soon as possible.

Now the princess is just a princess, they are not monarchs and ministers, they are more colleagues who strive for a goal and an ideal. Although there is a difference between a master and a slave, he is a very important person in the team.

The more important you are, the more freedom you have, and you can go wherever you want.

So he arrived later than Di Renjie.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is arrogance and contrived aloofness.

However, many people still envy this freedom.

The princess is not a pedantic person, she has inherited many advantages of Emperor Wu, especially in the aspect of knowing and employing people.A person who has no scruples and only cares about himself is terrible, because he has no shortcomings, not even feelings.If a person cares about family affection and reputation, he will be more pure and work harder.

Of course she won't be a villain.

The princess had someone prepare a generous gift and send it to Cui's mansion to comfort Cui Xuan's parents.

It was getting dark when Cui Xuancai arrived at the mansion, Song Jing and Wang Bin were also there.

Shen Sanwen briefly introduced the two Zhang brothers. His meaning was very simple, people around Emperor Wu would naturally gain power, how should they deal with the Zhang Changzong brothers.

In fact, with the eyes and ears of the three of them, they naturally knew the two brothers very well. Shen Sanwen's reaction was also normal, and no accidents should happen. But can these two brothers really make waves?
Wang Bin replied quickly, "Their brothers are looked down upon in the ruling and opposition parties. Even if they can become rich for a while, they will not be able to gain power. I am afraid that they will use His Majesty to do many things."

Cui Xuan: "Will Your Majesty be used by these two?"

Song Jing took the words, "Your Majesty trusts these two people very much, and the possibility is very high in the long run."

Cui Xuan: "Does the son-in-law think that they can influence His Majesty to establish a reserve?"

Shen Sanwen nodded, "There are not many people in the court who can speak."

The emperor's preferences are not just anyone who dares to criticize, who has the confidence to take the initiative to provoke Zhang Changzong brothers.

Cui Xuan said again, "It's better to set the crown prince as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

After saying this, several people were stunned. If they really wanted to do this, I am afraid that His Majesty would lose the opportunity somewhere and would only provoke disgust.

Shen San asked: "Is it really possible?"

Now there are not many people who dare to persuade the crown prince to be established. It really annoys the emperor, and it is really hard to say who will get it.

Cui Xuan: "Explore slowly, Your Majesty has achieved his ambition, and it is a good thing to enjoy peace and happiness."

Shen Sanwen was very skeptical about this, Wu Zetian must have a strong desire for power, how could it be a good thing?
Wang Bin: "Is it too early now? It's better to wait until the Turks are pacified."

Song Jing: "The Turkic matter is still too far away, but it's not good for the princess to talk about establishing a reserve now."

Shen Sanwen shook his head, "What should we do?"

Cui Xuan did not change his mind, "Not everyone supports the princess now, if a few years later, the relationship between the princess and His Majesty will be much more tense, and it will be even more difficult to discuss this issue at that time, Your Majesty also has this heart, as long as Let Your Majesty rest assured."

Shen San asked: "How can His Majesty rest assured?"

Cui Xuan was silent.

Wang Bin knew what the solution was, "the solution lies with Shi Zi."
