"As soon as we enter the divine capital, the situation becomes chaotic."
"No matter how much I overestimate Dou Changsheng, it seems that I still underestimate Dou Changsheng."
The prince stood in an attic. The wooden railings were painted with a layer of gold paint. The warm wind was blowing in his face. His brocade robes were shaking, and he looked a little worried.
How long has it been?
Dou Changsheng had created such a huge momentum. The prince now recalled carefully the scene that happened in the morning today, and he still had lingering fear in his heart.
Careless.
Ever since the saint lost his virtue, he has been too smooth in the recent period. The important ministers of the Sixth Division have chosen to join him one after another. His momentum has become stronger day by day, and he has begun to swell, especially several other princes, who have been defeated by him. , lost the qualification to inherit, and were all driven out of the divine capital.
This made me so satisfied that I began to lower my vigilance.
What happened this morning, although it was a blow to the head, it also woke me up.
After so many years of caution, why did he become so proud and complacent when he succeeded? The prince blew in the wind and remained motionless for an hour, then he finally came to his senses.
Looking up at the prince and others waiting on the side, the prince noticed the worry on their faces, smiled, and said gently: "Don't worry."
"Everyone in the court this morning openly opposed this. This is not a bad thing, but a good thing."
The prince was magnanimous. He raised his hands, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, and spoke loudly: "They objected one after another, but they exposed one thing, that is, we are powerful."
"Everyone has different positions and represents different positions. Being able to stand together this time shows that they are afraid of us. Only by uniting together can they suppress us."
"Da Zongzheng, who was originally on our side, actually remained silent and never spoke. This is a good thing."
The prince's smile brightened, like sunshine, and began to infect everyone. Finally, he looked at Du Beiyuan, the Minister of Etiquette, who was sitting in the attic, motionless, like a statue. He personally took a few steps forward, came to Du Beiyuan's side, and said respectfully He asked: "Xiangong Du, you said that Da Zong was silent. Why?"
Du Beiyuan had gray beard and hair, thin lips, angular face, and a pair of piercing eyes. At this time, he reached out and stroked his long beard, and said calmly: "The Zongren Mansion is the Great Saturday Secretary, but it does not involve foreign affairs, but Manage the Ji clan king."
"There are only four people in the world who can command Da Zongzheng now."
"Taizong, Gaozong, saint, prince."
"If we want to make Da Zong go from taking refuge in His Highness the Crown Prince to betraying His Highness the Crown Prince, the only two people who can do it are Taizong and Gaozong."
"As His Highness the Prince said, Da Zongzheng's attitude today is not a bad thing, but a good thing. It is better for Da Zongzheng to reveal his true identity at this time than to betray him at a critical moment."
The prince sighed and said: "Xiangong Du is serious. Uncle Zhuang is also in trouble. After seeing Uncle Zhuang's attitude in the morning, I knew that someone was persecuting Uncle Zhuang."
"Otherwise, with Uncle Zhuang's character and determination in his heart, there is no way he would choose to betray."
"You must know that Uncle Zhuang is willing to help me monitor the saint, so why would he be half-hearted? There must be a compelling reason now."
If King Da Zongzhuang really betrays him, the best choice today is to support the prince instead of choosing to remain silent. This way he can continue to mingle within the princelings, and it is still at the core level, and he will definitely have detailed information.
If such a person becomes a second-rate son, the consequences will be very terrible, and the prince will definitely be doomed. But what Prince Zhuang did today directly exposed himself. This may seem like a disadvantage, but in fact it is an advantage, and it eliminates the biggest hidden danger.
King Zhuang was fighting to prevent subsequent persecution from doing things against his will.
The prince's heart is heavy. Losing the support of Prince Zhuang is like breaking an arm. The powerful force of the clan has turned its back on the prince. But the good news is that the reluctant Prince Zhuang will definitely be able to contain many powers of the clan. , will not let this force completely fall to the enemy.
The prince looked at Du Beiyuan and asked calmly: "Today Mr. Lu of the Ministry of Revenue has changed his neutrality from the past. Is it possible to win over him?"
After Du Beiyuan was silent for a while, he stroked his long beard and continued: "Lu Tianen and I have known each other for decades. I know very well what kind of person he is. He is stubborn and has a reputation for being stubborn. This time he suddenly spoke, it proves that Lu Tianen En has already made up her mind."
"It's impossible to win over it. It will definitely come to an end."
Du Beiyuan was silent again, and after a while he continued to preach: "Lu Tianen rarely has great ambitions. He wants to imitate the Yasheng, cultivate his character, harmonize his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."
"In his early years, he studied hard and practiced martial arts. He became famous for his wisdom. After he became an official, he governed the local area. He was well-connected in politics and people, and was praised by the world. He was the prefect of Yingzhou during his period. In ten years, Yingzhou was promoted from Xiazhou to Shangzhou. Businessmen from all over the world gathered in Yingzhou. Zhou Lingquan cloth and flower curtain paper sell well all over the world."
"On the bank of Yingshui Lake, he happened to meet an old man who talked about the world. Later he found out that he was the God of Money who came here because of his fame. After his term was completed, he returned to Shendu and entered the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister and assumed the post of Chief Situ."
"He is ambitious. As long as Chief Fu Xu retires, the top of the cabinet will be the general and King Chen."
"The two of them are not from political affairs halls. Lu Tianen has a very high chance of becoming the leader."
"I originally thought that he would remain neutral and would not act rashly at all. After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Xu Chieffu will gradually begin to delegate power. When the court is stable, Xu Chieffu will definitely choose to become an official, and Lu Tianen will take office by then."
"As an emperor and a courtier, for His Highness the Crown Prince, his early status is unshakable. No matter what ideals and ambitions he has, they can all be realized."
The prince couldn't help but say, "Is Mr. Lu a member of His Majesty Taizong or His Majesty Gaozong?"
"I'm afraid that Mr. Lu will be able to rise to prominence only if he has the support of his two majesties."
Du Beiyuan frowned, but said unhappily: "Lu Tianen's ability to serve as the chief disciple is all due to his merits."
"If Lu Tianen doesn't like the Taizong and Gaozong people, he will just hang up and leave."
"Now it seems that Lu Tianen does not believe in His Highness the Crown Prince, and thinks that the one who can turn the tide is Taizong."
"The core of this battle is the throne. Based on my familiarity with Lu Tianen, the position of chief minister alone is not enough for him to actively support Taizong."
"What really made Lu Tianen make up his mind was that among the four, Taizong, Gaozong, the Saint, and His Royal Highness, Taizong was the only one who matched the wise king in Lu Tianen's heart."
"Today's world is a big world."
"A chaos unprecedented in thousands of years."
"The saint has lost his virtue, just like the setting sun, it has already set and is completely out of the game."
"Although Gaozong was better, he was just the light of the afternoon. Although he seemed bright and hot, he was completely the successor to his predecessors."
"Gao Zong is taking over the legacy of Taizong. There are four kings and eight princes above him, and there are warriors who have fought in hundreds of battles below. The demons bow their heads, and the dragon clan is proclaimed its vassal."
"The flowers are blooming, the fire is cooking, and the prosperity is beyond that of Taizong. But among these three, only Taizong is the light of noon, and the sun is the hottest and brightest."
Du Beiyuan remained silent. The reason is very simple. The Gaozong period was the best period of the Zhou Dynasty, but the origin of all this came from Taizong.
Taizong was born in the late Shang Dynasty. In the past, Taizu raised troops to Huntuyu. Among them, Taizong contributed a lot. Many of the kingdoms of the Great Zhou Dynasty were conquered by Taizong. The dragon tribe, monster tribe, and barbarians in the later period were all defeated by Taizong. Served.
Nowadays, the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty is difficult. If you want to achieve something, there are only two ways. One of them is to take the route of powerful ministers, monopolize power, and control the saints. This way does not work at all, so you can only take the path of mutual benefit between the king and his ministers.
Then among the four, Taizong's golden signboard is enough to blind everyone's eyes.
There has never been anyone with such merit as Taizong in thousands of years.
Even in Du Beiyuan's view, His Highness the Crown Prince is like the rising sun, dispelling the darkness, and has unlimited future potential, far better than what Taizong has already established.
Even if his achievements cannot surpass Taizong, he doesn’t have so many messy thoughts, and he doesn’t have too much involvement with the demon sect and gods and demons. The future is malleable, and there is hope of reviving the Great Zhou Dynasty, but after all, it is only potential, not as good as what Taizong has already done. merit.
He understands all the principles, but His Highness the Crown Prince has little experience, the variables are too great, and he is far less stable than Taizong.
Based on my familiarity with Lu Tianen, the other party must have chosen Taizong for this reason.
Kick, kick, kick! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Rapid footsteps sounded.
Chen Renmei walked out of the stairs and came to the attic. After saluting, she said: "The latest news is that Qingfeng, the Shang tribe's envoy, does not know the clues about the death of the Spirit tribe's envoy that day."
After Chen Renmei paused, she described it in vernacular: "The Shang envoy didn't know anything at all, so Dou Changsheng arrested him. This time, Dou Changsheng's clues to the investigation were broken."
"If you want to solve the case, unless you are finding new clues, you have to contact the Shang clan's envoys."
"The former is impossible. I just reorganized the case and carefully recalled the details. There are absolutely no clues left. This time the case was done flawlessly. Except for the clues from the Shang clan, if you want to solve the case, it will not be possible in three to five days. If you do it, one month is just enough.”
"And now there is news. The envoys of the Shang clan have learned about the whole story of today's morning dynasty and issued a serious protest. The other party was dissatisfied with Zhou's attitude."
"If you want us to give an explanation and tell us that we think they are suspected, then give us five days to investigate."
"In five days, the Shang Clan's envoy will choose to leave the human race."
"All consequences will be borne by ourselves."
"I don't know why this news has spread in the city of God. I have sent agents to stop the spread. The Shang clan is going too far to bully others and actually wants to use this to persecute us."
The prince nodded and said, "Well done."
"But it's not enough. We also ask Mr. Du to send someone to negotiate with the Shang clan. Five days is not enough. It will take at least a month. We will give them an explanation."
