Chapter 302
Upon hearing the main purpose of Jin Yiwei, the third prince Tang Shuheng was the first to jump out.
"Third brother, why not?" Tang Yu asked.
Tang Shuheng said with a serious face: "Ninth brother, there are already Dongchang and Xichang in the palace, and Dongchang and Xichang are only loyal to my father. If you establish the Jinyiwei, won't the Jinyiwei have to be loyal to you? Ninth brother, what are you doing? Isn’t this a prestige? My father is still on the throne, don’t you no longer take my father into consideration?”
"Third brother, don't slap me with such high praise. I have no intention of disobeying my father!" Tang Yu smiled coldly.
After Xu Shize's narration yesterday, Tang Yu already knew that Xichang now began to support Tang Shuheng. With Xichang's secret support, Tang Shuheng had the capital to compete with Tang Long.
If he creates Jinyiwei to supervise all the officials at this time, then all the officials will definitely be wary of him in the future and will not dare to offend him easily. Then in the future, he and Tang Long and Tang Shuheng will stand on a tripod in the court. In order to prevent himself from threatening his status, Tang Shuheng will do this. Only then did he stand up and object immediately.
"Father, I also think that Jinyiwei cannot be founded!" Tang Long also stood up.
In the court, he was already fighting equally with Tang Shuheng. If Tang Yu created Jin Yiwei now, wouldn't he have one more opponent in the future?
"Your Majesty, I think the creation of Jinyiwei is not harmful to Your Majesty!" Suddenly, Xu Shize stood up.
Emperor Tang squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Shize: "Prime Minister, I want to hear your thoughts!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xu Shize cupped his hands and said: "First of all, His Majesty just asked His Highness the Crown Prince to propose the reward himself, so this request is not too much. Although there are already Dongchang and Xichang in the palace, as the Crown Prince, if nothing unexpected happens, A hundred years from now, your majesty, the prince will surely ascend the throne, and the royal guards’ loyalty to the prince is equivalent to their loyalty to the next emperor of Tang Dynasty!”
"Secondly, Your Majesty personally gave the Crown Prince the Emperor Sword Yuanhong before, and gave His Highness the power of life and death to behead first and then report. However, His Majesty the Crown Prince could not control the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty. The creation of the Jin Yiwei actually magnified the power given to the Crown Prince by His Majesty. That’s all!”
"Finally, there are undercurrents in the court and the forces are intertwined. If the prince creates Jin Yiwei, everyone will restrict each other in the future. This will only be conducive to the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Well, what the Prime Minister said makes sense!" Emperor Tang nodded in approval.
To be honest, Emperor Tang had known for a long time that Xichang had changed. Tang Yu's creation of Jin Yiwei at this moment was to increase his own strength in disguise. This was something Emperor Tang was happy to see, so this request was not too much.
Currently, one of his nine sons has died, and among the remaining eight princes, headed by Tang Yu, Tang Long, and Tang Shuheng, the three parties are confronting each other.
If Tang Yu had Jin Yiwei, he would have the strength to fight against the other two. Emperor Tang wanted to see who would become the final winner in the final fight between the three.
The throne of the Tang Dynasty must be inherited by the winner.
"Father, you absolutely must not do this!"
At this moment, Tang Long and Tang Shuheng said in unison again.
Emperor Tang snorted coldly: "I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable. Do you two want to disobey my will?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare!" Tang Long and Tang Shuheng turned pale one after another.
"Hmph! Just don't dare!"
Staring at Tang Yu, Emperor Tang said: "Since Yu'er you want to create the Jin Yiwei, then I will agree to it in front of the civil and military officials of the court! In addition, Yu'er, what reward do you want?"
"Except for creating Jinyiwei, there is nothing else!"
Tang Yu's face was full of smiles, and then he looked at Tang Long and Tang Shuheng with cold eyes and said: "But, father, I want to impeach the prince, and start with the eldest prince Tang Long!"
What! Impeach the prince?
Should we start with the eldest prince Tang Long first?
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the civil and military court was shocked.
