Chapter 4970 Queen: How about I pay something...
The Queen also saw that Her Majesty's face had darkened visibly. Although her smile remained, she was extremely embarrassed. She quickly reached out to touch the crown prince's head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is fighting against the rebellion in Tai Chi Palace. The prince is here to involve the rebel forces." , as the saying goes, father and son go into battle, it will definitely be a good story in the history. Father and son join hands and are fearless all over the world, and it can be passed down by the government and the public. "
Li Chengqian had reached a new level and knew that he was too superficial. He hugged the prince lovingly with a look of relief on his face: "Although the prince is young, he is not afraid of danger. With Taizong's legacy, he may be able to achieve the same achievements as Emperor Taizong in the future." , our Li Tang royal family will continue to inherit and rule the world for thousands of years.”
The ministers looked at each other in confusion, unsure whether His Majesty's words were a compliment to the Crown Prince or a hint of something.
If an emperor can be compared with Emperor Taizong, he must have outstanding political achievements, outstanding merits, and the qualifications of a "wise emperor"; however, when a prince is compared to Emperor Taizong, it may not necessarily be a sincere praise.
After all, Emperor Taizong had many good intentions, but he indeed launched the "Xuanwumen Incident". Killing brothers and brothers was not counted, and he also forced Emperor Gaozu to abdicate.
From the perspective of Emperor Gaozu, Taizong must be an "unfilial son"...
The so-called "Taizong legacy" is sometimes not necessarily a compliment...
The prince didn't understand the meaning, but he was inspired by these words. He raised his little face and said enthusiastically: "How dare you compare with Emperor Taizong? But the 'Shenji Camp' is really powerful. When you grow up in the future, We must follow the will of our father and lead the 'Shenji Battalion' to expand territory and become powerful among all nations!"
The ministers no longer know what to say. Although your words are innocent, Your Highness, do you really intend to imitate Emperor Taizong?
Li Chengqian smiled, looked up at Fang Jun, and said in a friendly tone: "The 'Shenji Battalion' has done a good job in protecting the prince this time, and it has the prince's favor and trust. Why not merge it into the East Palace Sixth Command and let the prince directly command it."
Li Ji looked at Fang Jun out of the corner of his eye. His Majesty's move seemed to destroy the "Shenji Camp". It seemed that the powerful combat power displayed by the "Shenji Camp" in this battle in the East Palace had aroused His Majesty's fear.
Putting such a powerful force in the hands of the prince, whom he called "the legacy of Taizong"... the meaning is self-evident.
However, will Fang Jun agree with His Majesty's wishes, or will he resolutely attack His Majesty's prestige?
Fang Jun smiled and shook his head in a frightening manner under the attention of the ministers. His words were very direct and without any twist: "Your Majesty clearly knows that the so-called 'Shenji Camp' is just a momentary ridicule by the ministers. Datang There is no such number in the army sequence, and these soldiers who protect the prince are all academy students. , in order to deceive others, he was recruited and entrusted with important tasks. Now that he has successfully completed the task of protecting the prince and retired, he should return to the academy to continue his studies. These are the best among the academy students. If they join the army. Wu, being reduced to a soldier is really a waste of resources. ”
Li Ji quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although his words directly rejected His Majesty's holy will, they were still relatively mild. After all, he did not say anything heart-breaking such as "'Shenji Camp' is affiliated with Jinwu Guard and will be returned to Jinwu Guard's management." Word.
Therefore, he has always been wary of Fang Jun. This guy is by no means a stupid young man with two sticks as rumored by the outside world. He can go up and down, soft and hard, advance and retreat well-founded, and control freely. His sophistication seems to be steeped in officialdom data. After ten years of being an official, he doesn't look like a vigorous young man.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, remained silent for a moment, then smiled, nodded and said, "What the Lieutenant said is true. They are the cornerstones of the empire and future heroes. How can they be bound to the army? In my opinion, they are the cornerstone of the empire and future heroes. See, this 'Shenji Camp' might as well be cancelled, so that students can study without distractions, succeed as soon as possible, and make more outstanding contributions to the empire."
Everyone then understood that His Majesty was deeply afraid of the "Shenji Camp", fearing that he would become the prince's wing in the future and repeat the mistakes of the "Xuanwu Gate Incident"...
But the prince is the prince after all. Since the "Six Leaders of the East Palace" are ahead of him, why not add another "Shenji Camp"?
Is it possible that His Majesty already has the idea of "easy storage" in mind?
The minds of the ministers are confused. If this is the case, I am afraid that the hidden danger of another turmoil in the future has been laid. After all, just like when His Majesty was the crown prince, his biggest supporter was Fang Jun, now the crown prince's strong supporter is still Fang Jun.
Therefore, everyone looked at Fang Jun with complicated eyes. Regardless of whether Fang Jun's actions before and after were in line with his personal interests, just being the unswerving crown prince despite all difficulties has made great contributions to the inheritance of the empire's Zhengshuo.
The ability of a political power to succeed in succession and inherit the unification is the basis for stabilizing the situation and continuing the inheritance, and Fang Jun has done a great job.
Fang Jun glanced at the prince and said happily: "Your Majesty's candle shines thousands of miles away. How dare I disobey my orders? Besides, the so-called 'Shenji Camp' is just a joke by Wei Chen. The Tang army has never had such a designation. ”
Li Chengqian's eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking. He glanced around and said: "Since the East Palace is clear and the traitor is the leader, all my dear friends, please follow me back to Wude Hall. We will review and formulate a strategy overnight. Of course, it is necessary to severely punish and serve as a warning to others, and those who have made meritorious deeds must also be promoted to high positions and rewarded vigorously, to reward their merits and punish their demerits, and to rectify people's hearts. ”
"Your Majesty is wise, this is exactly how it should be."
……
The ministers gathered around His Majesty and returned to the Wude Hall for discussion. The Li Zheng Hall became quiet again. The Queen led the Prince and sat in the back hall with Princess Changle and Princess Jinyang. They were all confused and speechless for a while.
Although His Majesty rushed over immediately after quelling the Wude Palace rebellion and expressed concern and love for the Prince, looking at his appearance and listening to his words, it was less sincere and more hypocritical, more like a performance for everyone. A play for people to watch.
The prince is your majesty's eldest son. Although he is not a direct descendant, his position is stable and he is deeply supported by the government and the public. However, his majesty's behavior has cast a shadow on the queen's heart.
She is the main palace, but she has always had nothing to do. She has always raised the prince under her knees and treated him as her own. If the prince's status changes, she, the queen, will naturally bear the brunt...
Therefore, she will try her best to keep the prince both publicly and privately.
Princess Changle hugged Lu'er and looked at the Queen and her son with a worried look on her face. She comforted her softly: "Queen, there is no need to think too much. Your Majesty is suddenly involved in a mutiny and her life is hanging by a thread. There are also close ministers who are plotting poisoning. She is frightened and angry." It’s inevitable that you will feel confused , it’s understandable that he didn’t think too much before speaking. You and your wife have a deep love and have gone through many ups and downs together to get to where you are today. The prince is his favorite, and there is absolutely no reason to abandon him.”
< br>
The Queen forced a smile and nodded: "Your Majesty seems to be the emperor, but in fact he has had many misfortunes along the way, and his temperament is bound to be extreme. How can I not understand and be considerate?"
He caressed the crown prince's head lovingly, and said in a soft yet strong voice: "We, mother and son, are one, and I will protect His Highness well."
The prince was a little confused. Previously, the rebels stormed Li Zheng Palace. Sitting in the palace, he heard the gunfire in his ears, but he did not feel scared. However, when the rebels retreated and his father came to express condolences, everything suddenly seemed to have changed. Average.
He didn't know what happened, but he was keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere...
Princess Jinyang disagreed. She raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and said crisply: "The prince is my brother-in-law's apprentice. My brother-in-law will naturally support the prince just like he supported your majesty back then. The queen does not need to worry too much."
She knew that her brother-in-law never cared about who sat on the throne. He only cared about whether the throne could be passed on smoothly and whether the damage to the country could be minimized. Therefore, "sequential succession" had always been her brother-in-law's idea.
In such a severe situation back then, and with the persistence of his father, my brother-in-law was able to support His Majesty consistently and without reservation, and he will naturally support the Crown Prince now.
Although my brother-in-law held a high and powerful position at that time, it was completely incomparable compared to today. With the power, status, and prestige of my brother-in-law today, as long as he showed his full intention to support the prince, would his majesty insist on Yi Chu?
Princess Jinyang feels that it is definitely not the case. Your Majesty has neither the perseverance nor the ability to overwhelm everything...
The queen acknowledged the words and nodded, but the worry in her heart did not completely dissipate.
The reason why Fang Jun went all out to support His Majesty back then was because, apart from many reasons, there was also an extremely important point: Fang Jun at that time was the absolute core of the team, and everyone obeyed his will without violating any laws. inverse.
But now Fang Jun has grown into a giant. At the same time, the interests involved are more and more complicated. With more allies and more things to consider, he may not have the courage to stick to his word.
Of course, as long as Fang Jun is willing to go all out to support the prince, his majesty will definitely be wary and will not dare to have his own way.
But how can we get Fang Jun to support the prince unreservedly?
What kind of benefits can the prince give Fang Jun?
Fang Jun is a very affectionate person. You can know this just by looking at his tolerance towards the women around him. Otherwise, should he give something and sacrifice something without reservation in exchange for Fang Jun's love and care?
Thinking of this, the queen was frightened by her sudden thought, and her heart was pounding.
So where is the contribution and sacrifice from oneself? It is clearly asking for...

The sky is getting brighter, the clouds in the eastern sky slowly thin, revealing a touch of fish belly white, and the heavy snow that has been raging all night gradually stops.
The mutiny was completely put down before dawn. Various armies inside and outside the city guarded their respective areas. As orders came from the Tai Chi Palace, city gates and markets were gradually opened. More officials took the lead to walk out of their homes, either on horseback or in cars. Arrive at their respective yamen.
The officials who entered the imperial city all swarmed to the Chengtian Gate and marveled at Li Sixian, who was hanging from the city wall and swaying left and right in the air. However, when they heard that this person was about to be "cut to death", the officials all changed their faces...
