Chapter 2603 The Prince takes action
Several people discussed it and scrutinized the details, and they all felt that Du He's idea was indeed a good one. Not only did it prevent the King of Jin from staying out of the matter and enjoy "protection", but also dragged him into the muddy water of the current chaotic government. He could not stay alone. We will also receive permission from His Majesty Li Er. Even if His Majesty Li Er still trusts the King of Jin and thinks that the King of Jin is a better candidate for the crown prince than the Crown Prince, in the end this is still wishful thinking on his part. If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty cannot recognize it, his forced promotion of the King of Jin will not only face many obstacles, but also People will think of him as being "arbitrary" and have a bad impression, which is seriously inconsistent with his persona of "humbly accepting advice and working hard to govern".
Whether it was a mule or a horse, it was a mule or a horse that came out to put King Jin in front of everyone. Everything was clearly visible. As long as everyone saw King Jin's talent, they would naturally admire him sincerely. If they do the easy storage thing, they would of course get twice the result with half the effort and the resistance would be greatly reduced.
If His Majesty Li Er is afraid of the power of the civil servants under the Crown Prince and refuses to let King Jin sit on the fire, then the matter of Yi Chu will be even more unfair.
In short, no matter what His Majesty Li Er chooses, the Prince will be in a favorable position...
Li Chengqian raised his palm and praised: "This is a wonderful plan!"
Zhang Xuansu glanced at the proud Du He quite unexpectedly and shook his head.
This person's background is comparable to Fang Jun's, but his character, strategy, and achievements are by no means the same.
At that time, "Fang's plan and Du Ruhui's fate" became a popular story for a while. Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were both His Majesty's humerus. The Princess of Chengyang that Du He married was the legitimate daughter of His Majesty Li Er and Queen Wende. Her status was superior to that of Princess Gaoyang, who had lost her mother since childhood and was fostered under Concubine Yang's knees.
Moreover, as soon as Du Hefu got married, he was granted the title of Duke of Xiangyang County and was awarded the rank of Shancheng Fengyu, from the fifth rank. However, when Fang Jun got married, his official position was only one from the fifth rank to the Prince Consort Commandery, although among them was Li Second Majesty Myanmar The reason why he was especially kind to Du Ruhui was because Du He had a better starting point than Fang Jun, and he had the entire Du family in Fangling behind him. He was a wealthy family in Guanzhong, much higher than the Fang family in Qizhou. One chip?
However, to this day, Du He is still just a Shancheng Fengyu who is on duty as a guard in the palace, while Fang Jun has entered the center, is in charge of the Ministry of War, and can participate in Henan political affairs.
How could it not be surprising that this man was usually extremely stubborn, ambitious, and impetuous, but he could come up with such an upright "conspiracy"?
Of course, what is important at the moment is not this. Zhang Xuansu looked around and then asked: "Since everyone thinks that Prince Consort Du's strategy is feasible, who is going to tell His Majesty that he will make up his mind to cancel King Jin's order of confinement? ?”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at Fang Jun.
This task is not suitable for everyone. First of all, His Majesty must have full trust in him, and secondly, it must be ensured that when King Jin is criticized later, His Majesty will not be angry. Otherwise, once His Majesty is convinced that he is suspected of framed Prince Jin, he will have to live with it.
Fang Jun shook his head and said, "I can't come forward in this matter."
Du He was a little dissatisfied: "After all, isn't it because I am afraid of being settled by His Majesty afterwards? In the past, I actually judged His Highness King Jing about 'doing great things at the expense of one's own life'. In my opinion, your second roommate is nothing more than that. He talks a lot, but he is actually a cunning person who protects his own safety. ”
Li Chengqian was startled, fearing that Fang Jun would be angry, so he quickly said: "Du Erlang can't talk nonsense!"
If a fight breaks out, the two Du Hes are no match for Fang Jun...
Du He curled his lips and disapproved.
When he saw Fang Jun, he was frightened from the bottom of his heart, so he became even more inferior and resentful. Today he wanted to confront Fang Jun specifically to let Fang Jun know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Fang Jun didn't care about him, and poured tea for the people present with a calm expression.
Naturally, there is no Du He...
Yu Zhining took the tea cup and asked: "Erlang can't come forward, but I don't know who can be more suitable than you?"
Fang Jun took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said, "Of course it's His Highness."
Everyone was stunned, Zhang Xuansu frowned and said: "It is about the position of the crown prince. The only one who can compete with His Highness is the King of Jin. Let His Highness come forward... I am afraid that it is inevitable that there will be plum blossoms in the melon field. Is there something wrong?"
Li Chengqian didn't question it, he just looked at Fang Jun and waited for him to explain clearly.
He trusted Fang Junzhi far more than anyone else. He knew that since Fang Jun could think that it was more appropriate for him, the prince, to go than others, there would naturally be sufficient reasons.
Fang Jun said sternly: "Your Highness must personally take action in this matter. First of all, as an elder brother, Your Highness must love and protect his younger brother. This is the way of brotherhood, friendship and respect. Even if you are facing a reserve crisis, you cannot abandon the love of brotherhood." , brotherhood. Furthermore, I also take the opportunity to show His Majesty that His Majesty is confident that he can handle all government affairs and will never worry that anyone will surpass you in government affairs. Your Majesty, while being gentle and courteous, you must also be domineering and arrogant. Others think that the King of Jin will have an impact on your throne, but His Highness himself must be full of confidence. You are the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince is also the King. Any hero All heroes are your ministers, let alone His Highness the King of Jin! How can he inherit the throne and govern the world without such determination and domineering power?”
Yu Zhining praised: "Well said!"
With an excited expression, he looked at Li Chengqian and said: "Your Highness has been smart since childhood, has a handsome appearance, is benevolent, filial, pure and profound, and has always been admired by all the ministers in the court. It's just that his character is a little more kind and gentle, and he lacks a little bravery as a king. Your temperament always seems thin and frivolous, failing to show your magnanimity. What you lack is this kind of self-confidence!”
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. He stepped forward, took Li Chengqian's hand, and said loudly: "Your Highness, your name is Chengqian, which means 'accepted from heaven.' You are His Majesty's eldest son, and you have a great honor. It is destiny! Even if you suffer from foot disease, it will harm your life! Xiang, no one is perfect, even if there is a slight flaw, who in this world can be more noble than you, so no matter who you face, you should straighten your back and look at it with disdain, you are the real one. , above tens of millions of people!”
Although Yu Zhining was born in Guanlong, the Yu family in Luoyang has long been alienated from the Guanlong nobles. When the prince was canonized, he was ordered to become the emperor's tutor and teach the prince knowledge. He has been with the prince for many years, becoming both his teacher and his father. The feelings are deep and the interests involved are inseparable.
Therefore, he wholeheartedly wanted to see the prince become a talented person and hope that the prince could successfully ascend the throne.
Unfortunately, the prince's temperament is too gentle, and he treats others well without fighting, so he lacks a bit of the vigor that a young man should have, and he does not seem to be outstanding enough. Furthermore, he fell from a horse and broke his leg, leaving a disability, which had a great impact on the prince. Although his brother Wei Wang Li Tai was a little fatter, his literary talent and quick thinking won the favor of His Majesty Li Er, making the prince or There is more or less a sense of inferiority.
As King Jin grew up, Zhong Lingyuxiu became even more outstanding. In addition, Queen Wende passed away, and His Majesty Li Er became more and more doting on her, which made the prince feel even more difficult to compare with his two younger brothers.
He is already gentle and gentle, but without the sharpness of a young man, he will naturally feel more inferior and lose the temperament that would make him a prince.
Li Chengqian is naturally aware of his shortcomings, but it is easy to say that. If he really wants to show his magnanimity as a prince without making his father feel threatened, how difficult is it to grasp the scale?
I was just embarrassed in my heart, but I didn't say it out loud. I held Yu Zhining's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you teacher for your teaching. I will keep it in my heart and reflect on it all the time."
Immediately, several people carefully considered how Li Chengqian would speak after meeting His Majesty Li Er. They carefully considered every word and every sentence, lest there be any omissions that would cause dissatisfaction to His Majesty Li Er, which would be self-defeating and the gain outweighed the loss.
Of course, Fang Jun and Du He seldom talked to each other at this time. Yu Zhining and Zhang Xuansu had been in official circles all their lives. After going through the Sui and Tang dynasties, they had already cultivated themselves into human beings. They were well versed in the art of speech and treated Your Majesty. He also has a deep understanding of his likes and dislikes, which is definitely not comparable to that of two young people.
The two of them gave Li Chengqian advice, teaching him sentence by sentence how to word and express his position. They even speculated that His Majesty Li Er might have questions and answered them in advance, making sure they were watertight.
Of course, no one knows what kind of attitude His Majesty Li Er will have or what words he will say. Our current research is just to set the tone and hold a direction. No matter how we answer His Majesty Li Er's words, we should follow this policy. Then there will be no mistakes.
Li Chengqian has a weak character and is unworthy of being a king. This is a disadvantage, but it is also a benefit. Because of his weak character, he is more able to accept advice humbly and will not easily make his own decisions and do bad things impulsively...(End of Chapter)
