Although all the court officials understand in their hearts, they still can't figure out His Majesty Li Er's thoughts, so they can only remain silent. It depends on what Li Shimin decides next.
If His Majesty Li Er agrees with Xu Jingzong's suggestion, it means that Li Shimin has made up his mind to move to Chu.
If he disagrees, it means that Li Shimin has not yet made up his mind to save money.
The ministers in the Taiji Hall are all old-timers in the officialdom. Who dares to say anything about this kind of issue that may determine the ownership of the future prince?
If you dare to agree or oppose, it is a clear issue of taking sides.
However, everyone was a little surprised. Logically speaking, with Xu Jingzong's experience, it was impossible to talk about this issue openly!
Although everyone knows who officials support in private.
But if Xu Jingzong puts it directly on the table, he is willing to risk everything. He is completely betting on his own future and the fate of his family.
If Wei King Li Tai can successfully ascend to the throne, Xu Jingzong may be favored by nature and be honored for the rest of his life.
But if Li Tai failed, how could Prince Li Chengqian let him go?
While Yang Fan was observing Li Er's reaction, he looked at Xu Jingzong in surprise, a little dumbfounded.
This Xu Jingzong worked too hard. In order to support Wei Wang Li Tai, he cut himself off!
In fact, how did Yang Fan know that Xu Jingzong was originally optimistic about Jin Wang Li Zhi, but unfortunately he was disturbed by Yang Fan last time.
After much deliberation, Xu Jingzong finally had no choice but to embrace Wei King Li Tai.
In his opinion, the person who can ascend to the throne in the future must be Li Er's legitimate son.
Now that Li Shimin has begun to give up on Li Chengqian, his eldest son, Wei King Li Tai is the most likely candidate to compete for the crown prince.
Now Xu Jingzong is risking his future to support Li Tai. In fact, it is a vote of trust, and he is convinced that His Majesty Li Er has the idea of Yi Chu.
All the courtiers had different thoughts, and you could hear needles dropping in the Tai Chi Hall.
His Majesty Li Er had a deep expression, with no emotion or sorrow at all, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Li Shimin looked around with tiger eyes and said, "Dear ladies, what do you think of the suggestions I've given you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath of cold air. Could it be that His Majesty Li Er really decided to make a deposit?
King Li Tai of Wei had a plump and red face, and he looked as if he had already secured the position of prince.
Prince Li Chengqian's face turned pale, and his whole body could not help but tremble...
A pair of cold eyes were staring at Xu Jingzong fiercely. It was obvious that he had regarded Xu Jingzong as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
As a staunch supporter of Prince Li Chengqian, Changsun Wuji ignored his manners and knelt directly in the main hall to plead: "Since ancient times, only the crown prince can represent the power of heaven. Xu Shizhong's suggestion is too hasty and may easily cause turmoil in the court and the world. I am uneasy, please think again, Your Majesty.”
Immediately, officials from the Guanlong family who supported the prince's family began to ask him to think again.
If the prince Li Chengqian is deposed, the Guanlong family that supports the prince will be the first to bear the brunt. Of course they do not want to see this happen.
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked at each other and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice..."
This is not because Fang Xuanling and others want to support Prince Li Chengqian, but because they are afraid of causing turmoil in the court.
Throughout the dynasties, the position of crown prince has been a point of contention for various forces. Every change of crown prince caused panic, filled the city with turmoil, and even caused turmoil.
This time Tubo is ready to make a move. If the news of Yi Chu spreads out rashly, the already restless foreign tribes on the border will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos.
If it is used by some thoughtful people, or even instigates public opinion, it is really possible for Datang to fall into chaos.
Seeing the objections of many ministers, Li Shimin frowned lightly, coughed and said: "My dear sirs, please be patient. This matter has not yet been decided. Didn't I let everyone discuss it first?"
The commotion in Tai Chi Hall calmed down a little.
Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Xu Jingzong knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, and continued to appeal: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei has both political integrity and talent. He is familiar with military books and has considerable insights into military affairs. Furthermore, His Highness the King of Wei has a very good reputation among the people. He is also your majesty’s legitimate son. If the king of Wei comes in person on behalf of the emperor, he is the most suitable candidate. Please make it clear to your majesty.”
Changsun Wuji glared at Xu Jingzong fiercely and retorted loudly: "The prince is the crown prince of the country, and he has the power to supervise the country on behalf of the Holy Emperor. Since His Majesty cannot go there in person this time, the prince should come forward. If King Wei goes there, , won’t it be criticized by the world, won’t it be laughed at by the barbarians?”
For a time, the King of Wei's faction and the Prince's faction were quarreling again, and the entire Tai Chi Hall was as lively as a vegetable market.
Looking at the noisy courtiers, His Majesty Li Er's face was as dark as water, and he remained silent, as if he was aloof from the incident. No one knew what he was thinking!
At this time, Yang Fan came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Seeing that Yang Fan, who rarely spoke in court meetings, actually took the initiative to petition, the courtiers instantly became quiet. They wanted to see what good things this stick could say.
Everyone knew that Yang Fan had nothing to do with the King of Wei and the Crown Prince. Could it be that he wanted to help one of them today?
When he saw it was Yang Fan, Li Shimin quickly said: "But it doesn't matter!"
We are in a dilemma, maybe this guy can solve this dilemma.
Yang Fan walked out of the court queue, pointed at Xu Jingzong and said: "Your Majesty, this is a traitor to the country who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words. I don't know what Xu's intentions are, and he actually puts forward such ridiculous suggestions that harm the country..."
Being pointed at and scolded by a rising star in the Tai Chi Hall, Xu Jingzong was a little confused and cursed angrily: "Why is Shu Zi so rude?"
As a famous scholar among scholars, how had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Originally, Xu Jingzong didn't think much of Yang Fan, because although Yang Fan was somewhat talented, he relied on force and sharpness to do things, which was not in line with the Confucian virtues of a gentleman of self-examination, self-restraint, and tolerance.
The most important thing is that Yang Fan made his Xu family lose face in Wangyue Tower.
Although Yang Fan held a high position at a young age, he thought it was just because he was lucky.
Now being pointed at and scolded by Yang Fan, Xu Jingzong was furious.
Regardless of whether he was angry or not, Yang Fan continued righteously: "Soldiers are evil and are related to the survival of the country. They must be investigated. Now that Xu Shizhong is talking nonsense for personal gain, how can he deserve the trust of the court and the favor of His Majesty? Heavy?"
"Besides, your Majesty has more than just Wei Wang Li Tai among his princes. Whoever is sent to supervise the army must be chosen the most suitable one. Who can get a small favor to make irresponsible remarks? Only a sycophant can do what Xu Shizhong has done now. come out."
Xu Jingzong blushed when he was told that he wanted to rush forward and kill Yang Fan immediately.
This stick is so hateful!
Everyone was also quite surprised. At first they thought Yang Fan was helping Li Chengqian, but it turned out that he was trying to pull the trigger!
Originally, the post of military governor was only created between Prince Li Chengqian and King Wei Li Tai.
Now, because of Yang Fan's words, all the princes were involved. This stick obviously wanted to disrupt the situation.
