Chapter 248 I am getting old, Xuanzang eliminates demons 【Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket】

Pick one to be crowned prince? !

Whoa!
There was an uproar in the hall.

The civil and military ministers were all stunned, even the three kings were tense, and the hands in their sleeves trembled slightly.

They didn't expect Li Shimin to establish a prince as soon as he came back.

Moreover, it seems that he already has a candidate to choose from among the three of them.

You know, there are three other princes who are also competitive.

That is King Qi, King Shu, and King Jiang. Among them, King Shu has made it clear that he will not compete for the crown prince, and he has behaved very wildly.

However, the king of Shu has a good name in Shu.

For this reason, there are also ministers in the court who want to support him.

Wei Zheng's grandson Fang Xuanling, Zhu Suiliang, Tang Jian and others were all stunned. They didn't expect that Li Shimin was going to make a crown prince.

They are also very nervous, because almost every minister has a candidate for support.

Even if they didn't stand in line explicitly, they all showed their favor secretly.

If you express your wrong feelings, your future status will be in jeopardy.

Li Shimin saw that the civil and military ministers were silent, and said again: "Why, you asked me to make a crown prince more than two years ago, now that I have finished the war, you are not happy to come back to set up a crown prince?!"

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, do you want to think long-term?"

Li Shimin said: "I'm just asking for your opinions now, and I don't have to choose them today."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin added: "But hurry up, I'm getting old too, and I have to hand over many things to the crown prince."

Afterwards, Li Shimin just fell asleep.

Immediately, someone came in lightly and moved the entire dragon chair away. During this period, the ministers of civil and military affairs and the nobles from all walks of life dared not show their pride.

However, the eyes of each of them are full of hope.

Many people's eyes rolled around, sweeping back and forth on Li Zhi, Li Tai and the other three kings, their breathing became rough.

because.

They knew that it was time for them to make a bet. If they could bet on a crown prince, they would be able to succeed in the future.

It's no problem to make rapid progress.

However, if you want to talk about nervousness, the three kings are the most nervous.

Even Li You, who had the least hope, had numb scalp and sweaty palms at this moment.

However, even so, they still have to pretend to be calm, because they know that now is the time for all the ministers to stand in line.

If they behave too frivolously, or their mentality is not stable enough, they will definitely be disgusted by others.

Even Wei Wang Li Tai, who had the greatest hope, had to suppress his inner excitement at this time.

"His Royal Highness, the old minister has a copy of Confucius left in Qi State, please move."

"His Royal Highness, the minister's house found a book left by Guan Zhong some time ago."

"His Royal Highness, although the old minister is old, he has always admired His Highness's talent and wants to worship His Highness as his teacher."

Most of the people are wandering around Wei Wang Li Tai, they all think that Li Tai's hope is the greatest.

The second is that someone approached Li Zhi.

"His Royal Highness, I feel that there should be other ways to deal with the floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

"His Royal Highness Jin, there is a daughter in the minister's family who admires His Highness very much..."

Li Zhi also has many people who turn to him. Although he is far inferior to Wei Wang Li Tai, he is not regarded as a poor family.

As for Li Zhi, they never refused to seek refuge with them, and he did not deliberately avoid them as before in order to avoid suspicion.

Now Li Shimin has talked about this, making it clear that they will compete with each other.

If you still hide it, you are a fool.

Even Li You, who is known as a virtuous king and has nothing to do with the world, stood up and took the initiative to talk to a few ministers who were able to have fun on weekdays.

However, these ministers also hesitated.

To be honest, among the three kings, Li You had the least chance, so they didn't want to waste this opportunity.

Among the civil and military ministers, more than half of them started to stand in line, or planned to stand in line.

Only Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong and others are incompatible with many ministers. They are representatives of civil servants and generals, and they will not easily stand in line.

Unless the situation is very obvious, they will help, and that can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Secondly, since Li Shimin was still alive, it was impossible for them to take the initiative to seek refuge with a certain prince, even if that prince might become the prince.

However, it is these indisputable ministers and princes who are the most important in the court.

Just recruiting one of them can be worth more than half of the people in the court.

Therefore.

The three kings also understood this, and they all wanted to take the initiative to talk to each other.

However, Wei Zheng and others made excuses and left.

They will not communicate with the three kings in the court hall, who knows how many Li Shimin's eyeliners are in the Daming Palace.

Chang'an Avenue.

The ministers of the three provinces and six departments, as well as the houses of the ministers, were all trampled to death by the servants sent by the three kings.

There are also many ministers of civil and military affairs who are also walking around.

They didn't know who to turn to, so they came to these big guys to see their reality.

Wei Wang Li Tai walked the most frequently and had the greatest momentum.

but.

On the contrary, Li Zhi was not the second, Li You was the second most powerful king, and he united several other princes.

Afterwards several princes dispatched together, the sensation caused was not under Li Tai's, and many officials also took refuge.

As for Li Zhi, he communicated with many ministers in the court hall, but after returning to Prince Jin's mansion, he became low-key instead.

A minister of civil and military affairs came to visit him, but he claimed that he was gone.

Such an approach is very different from other princes, and it made many people feel confused for a while.

In fact, Li Zhi is not in the Jin Palace.

He had already left the city at this time, and arrived at a temple, which was a branch temple of Shaoqing Temple outside Chang'an City.

Wu Zhao served as a layman in this temple, and Li Zhi came to see Wu Zhao.

The two hid in the secret room, and we talked for a long time before starting to talk about serious business.

"Lang Jun, do you mean that His Majesty has already decided to appoint the Crown Prince?"

"That's right, the father went to Yunyuan Mountain after his triumphant return. He probably listened to Master Tianshi's order and wanted to establish a crown prince."

"Then Mr. Lang must fight for it, and stop the affair!"

"Don't worry!"

Li Zhi smiled, got up, dressed Wu Zhao again, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and explained with a smile.

"I have an appointment with Master Tianshi. If I am the emperor, I must respect the Tao. His attitude towards me has changed drastically, and he must support me!"

Wu Zhao nodded and said: "If you can get the support of Master Tianshi, it must be the best. However, Master Tianshi does not allow you to do things under his banner, so how do you let others know that he supports you?" ?!"

Li Zhi frowned, and said: "I can't figure it out, so I came to you. Think about it carefully, what should I do!"

The two thought hard and rolled around again, but they still haven't figured it out.

It was getting dark, and Li Zhi planned to leave.

Wu Zhao said: "Mr. Lang, didn't you tell me to return to vulgarity? Why don't you order it as soon as possible. After knowing that you don't like monks, I really don't want to stay in this place."

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.

Then he said, "I figured out a way."

Wu Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Oh, what can I do?"

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Both my elder brothers support Buddhism, even my older brother Qing Que'er, who advocates Confucianism, is the same."

"And many of my political actions have attacked Buddhism and supported Taoism. Although it is not violent enough, it has also shown my attitude."

Wu Zhao seemed to understand what he was going to say, his eyes curved into crescents.

He smiled and said: "Lang Jun, what a way, you have an appointment with the Celestial Master, if you want others to know that you admire the Celestial Master, then you will know that you have the support of the Celestial Master!"

"But the matter of the celestial master should not be done lightly. It only needs to attack the Buddhist sect."

The battle between Buddhism and Taoism is originally a promotion and a decline.

If Taoism prospers, Buddhism will decline.

Li Zhi doesn't need to support Taoism, but he can let people know his attitude by attacking Buddhism.

When the time is right, go to put incense sticks on Yunyuan Mountain, or go to the royal Taoist temple more, so that people can know that behind him is a celestial master.

Li Shimin believed in the celestial master, and the civil and military ministers feared the celestial master.

That being the case, he has won more than half of his success with the support of the celestial master.

Li Zhi left, this time, he was very relaxed.

After returning, for two days in a row, he issued orders targeting Buddhism, and even suggested that Buddhism should pay taxes.

However, the proposal was suppressed.

just.

This has already started, and the world already knows his attitude!

The Buddhist sect reacted the most intensely. Many of the court officials who waited and watched, received the instruction of the Buddhist sect, and they all chose to support Li Tai or Li You.

No one supported Li Zhi.

Even Xiao Yu, who was against Buddhism before, did not choose to support Li Zhi, but it was not because he supported Buddhism or opposed Buddhism.

It is purely that Xiao Yu is a scholar, he is half of Li Tai's teacher, so he naturally supports Li Tai.

the other side.

Something happened to Li Shimin.

It has been the third day since Li Shimin became weak.

Originally, he had time to ask about the Three Kings' activities two days ago, but now he doesn't want to ask at all.

Because he hadn't closed his eyes for three days, every time he closed his eyes, it was as if he dreamed that the dragon horned carp was coming to eat him.

Once he closed his eyes forcibly, and the dragon-horned carp directly ate his head in the dream, scaring him to wake up immediately.

Even if Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong stood vigil for him, they couldn't change the situation.

Fortunately, Li Shimin followed Su Chen's suggestion and sent someone to invite the two eminent Buddhist monks.

The old man Tianshu, who was already a mortal 30 years ago, is now known as the number one Buddhist monk in the Tang Dynasty!
Xuanzang also came, and he had the title of Emperor's younger brother of the Tang Dynasty very early on.

However, this imperial brother is not Li Shimin's sworn brother, but the queen asked Xuanzang to teach Buddhism, and as a queen, gave him the title of imperial brother.

Buddhism has a good face, and in the name of Li Shimin's younger brother, it has deceived many people.

At this time, two people came.

Li Shimin's expression changed instantly when he saw Li Shimin lying on the bed.

Master Tianshu said in surprise: "Your Majesty is as angry as a spring, and his life will not be long!"

Xuanzang hinted at the spell, and also saw the difference, "Your Majesty was disturbed by a monster, disturbing his dream!"
