Wentang

Chapter 79

In Daxing Palace, Li Yuan, wearing a black gown, knelt and sat in front of the long case, accompanied by Feng Deyi, who was then Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

This is what Li Yuan does most often. He finds a few trustworthy veterans to accompany him when he handles general official duties.Not only can you consult questions you don't understand at any time, but you can also chat about some issues that are not convenient for public discussion.

He likes the atmosphere very much.

Feng Deyi was undoubtedly one of Li Yuan's most trusted ministers and a member of the accompanying group.Today they chat and work as usual.

"Nonsense." Seeing a memorial in his hand, Li Yuan said angrily.

"Why is Your Majesty angry?" Feng Deyi asked.

"Look, look, the crown prince has privately recruited his own army. Two thousand long forest soldiers are not enough, what does he want to do?" Li Yuan said.

"This...could it be a mistake. His Majesty only blamed him for this matter a few days ago, the prince should not make such a mistake at this time." Feng Deyi said.

But Li Yuan didn't know what was wrong, so he said abruptly: "Feng Qing, I want to change Shimin to the crown prince, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Feng Deyi showed just the right amount of surprise, but he was actually panicked inside. He forced himself to calm down and said, "The establishment of a reserve is a very important matter, and His Majesty should be the one to make arbitrary decisions. How can we and other foreign ministers be able to comment on it."

Li Yuan nodded and was very satisfied with his attitude, but this matter has indeed troubled him for a long time, and today he really wanted to talk to someone.In his mind, Feng Deyi was the most suitable candidate.

For some reason, his trust in Feng Deyi even surpassed that of Conglong Jiuchen Zuo Pushe Pei Ji.

"Establishing a crown prince is both a family matter and a national matter. Feng Qing, as the prime minister, must have his own ideas. There are no outsiders today, so you might as well share your own views. Don't worry, what I say today won't let you out of your mouth and into my ears. The third person knows." Li Yuan said.

"This..." Feng Deyi hesitated for a long time, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your trust, I hope your majesty will not blame you for speaking nonsense."

At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly.He knew Li Yuan very well, and he knew that if he didn't say one, two, three, he wouldn't be able to pass the test today.But what to say?

He used to be a subordinate official of Tiance Mansion, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a general of the King Qin family, even Li Shimin thinks so.However, few people know that behind his back, he also deeply trusts Li Jiancheng.

Yes, he is the kind of person who has his feet on two boats, and he is also deeply trusted by the owner of the boat.

What is this person most afraid of?It's just that someone suddenly forced him to say which ship you are on, and Li Yuan's question is about the same.

But before the final result appeared, could he bet on it?cannot.

Is it possible to get results today?cannot.

Li Yuan has been indecisive on the issue of the crown prince for three or two days, and it is useless for him to tell the truth today, he will continue to hesitate.

Feng Deyi had some malicious speculations in his heart, and estimated that he might not be able to make a decision until the moment he died.

In this case, I definitely can't express my opinion.So the best way is to stay still.Immediately he thought of the rhetoric:

"Your Majesty, King Qin has made great contributions to the imperial court. This is obvious to all. Moreover, His Majesty once promised to make him the crown prince. There is no problem in making him the crown prince at this time."

Hearing that Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, he also wanted to change Li Shimin's crown prince out of this consideration.However……

"However, this law is inconsistent with the legal principles. The eldest son succession system is a legal principle recognized by the whole world. Today, His Majesty changed King Qin as the crown prince, fearing that it will bury hidden dangers for future generations. Moreover, the crown prince has made no mistakes, and there is no reason to abandon him and use King Qin. " Feng Deyi changed the subject.

"Hey, this is exactly where I'm in trouble." Li Yuan said with a sigh.

He still has a hidden worry in his heart, that is Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.At the beginning of the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, the second son, also made great achievements, but the eldest son Yang Yong performed mediocrely.

Later, Yang Jian abolished Yang Yong and used Yang Guang. As a result, Sui Dynasty II died, and today's Tang Dynasty came into being.

He was also afraid that Li Shimin would become the second Yang Guang.This is the real reason why he has not dared to change the title of Li Shimin as the prince.Of course, this cannot be told to anyone.

"If Your Majesty is really in trouble, why not wait any longer." Feng Deyi whispered.

"Wait?" Li Yuan frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for a few years? You can push the Crown Prince and the King of Qin to the fore, and your Majesty will observe behind the scenes. Then you will know who is more suitable to be the Crown Prince." Feng Deyi said.

"Haha..." Li Yuan laughed loudly and said, "Feng Qing's plan is very clever."

"Don't dare to be praised by His Majesty." Feng Deyi said secretly, wiping off his sweat.

He knew very well that what he said was already suspected of favoring Li Jiancheng, because "not moving" was the most beneficial situation for Li Jiancheng.

If Li Shimin knew about today's words, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.But he believed that Li Yuan would definitely not tell the story of today's conversation, otherwise he would not have said these words.

After chatting for a few more words, Feng Deyi found an excuse and left the palace. When he walked to the door, he looked back at Daxing Palace with lingering fear.Sure enough, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

Immediately, his brows frowned again, always feeling that something important had been neglected.But after carefully recalling what happened today, I found nothing.

In the end, he thought that he was paranoid and thinking too much.

On the other side, the smile on Li Yuan's face quickly disappeared after Feng Deyi left.

What Feng Deyi said is certainly reasonable, but is it not an excuse?Also, pushing the crown prince and King Qin to the foreground to compete is simply stupid.Built in the early Tang Dynasty, it could not withstand the infighting between two fierce tigers.

But there is also something that surprised him, that is, Feng Deyi did not support King Qin Li Shimin, because he is considered by the world to be an ally of King Qin.

He did not agree to let Li Shimin be the prince because of his own selfishness, which shows that he is a person who really thinks about the country.Therefore, even though he made a foolish move, Li Yuan still didn't hate him.

Hey, if someone who knows the future can tell me who is more suitable to be the prince.

At this time, his gaze inadvertently swept across a jade paperweight on the long case, and when he saw Wu Deli carved on the jade paperweight, a name came to mind-Longshou Shannan.

Suddenly he said to the air: "What is that Longshoushan man doing?"

At this time, a wrestler quietly appeared on the lower right side of the long case like a ghost—in fact, it was all an illusion. He was standing there but was covered by pillars and veils, so he was easily overlooked.

This is a must-have skill for the emperor's servants. When there is nothing to do, find a place that does not get in the way and hide yourself, so as not to get in anyone's eyes.

Just now Feng Deyi subconsciously ignored this point, thinking that he and Li Yuan were the only ones in the whole hall.

The warrior bowed slightly and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Yueshan, the man of Longshou Mountain, spends most of his time in Sixingping to build houses and schools, and every day he goes to teach children in the neighborhood to read and write."

"It's not any different from before?" Li Yuan frowned and said, "Could it be that he hasn't visited anyone, or who has visited him?"

"Except Chang'an Ling Tian Xuechen, no other high-ranking officials have visited his residence. He visited the King of Qin once, and was robbed of 28 horses by the King of Qin."

"Oh?" Li Yuan suddenly became interested: "Tell me what's going on."
