After receiving Zhang Wenguan's affirmative reply, Hao Chujun breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Prince Li Hong is excellent, his health is not good. Now the crown prince Li Xian has shown abilities that far exceed those of his elder brother. If he ascends the throne successfully, the stability of the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years can be expected. Even, on the basis of today's prosperous age, it is not impossible to make half a step forward.
However, the position involving the emperor has never been stable. Could it be that these people, for the sake of immediate interests, can even abandon the country?
With a long sigh, Hao Chujun also packed his things and prepared to go home. Although he doesn't want to be involved in danger, considering the current situation, maybe he also needs to work hard for his country and his family.
No one talked about the matter of four hundred lives anymore. Even the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment chose to close its eyes on this matter. Although the quintet regulations were established during the Taizong period, the most able to ignore the law in this world is the imperial power. Four hundred lives were still something to be thankful for in Zhang Wenguan's eyes, which showed how angry the saint was. In this case, just tighten your tail and get by. Who would make trouble for themselves with nothing to do?
That night, many officials in Chang'an City had trouble sleeping.
Unlike these officials, Li Xian slept peacefully. After comforting Fang, he slept until dawn.
After finishing dressing and washing up under Shangguan Wan'er's service, Li Yun ran in.
"Shizhong Zhang, please see me."
After taking a look at the sky outside, Li Xian said casually: "Invite him in and bring him an extra breakfast."
After a while, Zhang Wenguan, who was meticulously dressed in official uniform, walked in.
"Your Highness, I already know what happened yesterday, but I just don't know what preparations Your Highness has made?"
This is really a shocking statement. I would have just asked Donggong directly how much power he had.
After inviting Zhang Wenguan to sit down, Li Xian did not hide anything and said frankly: "The whole East Palace is full of blessings left by the imperial brother. In addition, there are also some arrangements for being alone in the Daming Palace."
Hearing these two sentences, Zhang Wenguan nodded happily, and then showed a curious look.
「」
「」
Looking at Zhang Wenguan's eyes, Li Xian was speechless for a while.
"Your Highness, please forgive me, but this is the only arrangement you have. Nothing else?"
Li Xian smiled bitterly and said, "What else can be done? This is all Gu Neng has arranged."
Zhang Wenguan put his hand on his forehead and groaned: "You haven't won over Su Qingjie and the others? My Lord, military power is the most important. Without the support of the military, how can you protect yourself once you encounter any changes? Chang'an Ben Just like the layout of the military city, to put it bluntly, if there is a mutiny, only those with military power will have the right to speak!"
Seeing Zhang Wenguan's anxious look, Li Xian smiled bitterly, but in his heart he was full of contempt for the old guy.
Although this guy was a good actor in court, his acting skills are a bit too exaggerated now. To be able to sit in the position of prime minister and escape unscathed in the end, it is impossible to say that he does not know enough about people's hearts and imperial power. It was impossible for him not to know how much Li Zhi valued his imperial power. If one or two young men could steal military power, it must be the result of his deliberate connivance.
Get involved in military power? A more confused emperor might be able to succeed, but for a man of the ages like Li Zhi, that's a no-brainer. Even if he is written down as a henpecked and strict wife in history, it is because historians disdain him for being usurped by a woman and deliberately defame him. From a practical perspective, except for Wu Zetian, he really had no one he believed in at that time. Not everyone can handle such a big country.
After pondering for a long time, Li Xian raised his head, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Shizhong, you can lift it now."
Zhang Wenguan said seriously: "Your Highness, Su Qingjie and Cheng Wuting have always been the leaders of the military and have a strong binding force on the military officers. These two people must win over each other. This is an external force. In addition, Qianniuwei General Du Chunyi. Now that all the guards of the Daming Palace have been handed over to the Qianniu Guards, if something happens, there is no doubt that he alone will have far more say than Su and Cheng."
Looking at Zhang Wenguan with a serious look
, Li Xian nodded and said seriously: "I understand."
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince had a serious expression and seemed to have really listened, Zhang Wenguan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he knew very well that it was wrong to do so, as long as he got involved in the whirlpool of succession to the throne, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, there would be no good results.
but
He also had to admit that the prince in front of him was really outstanding. It is said that one generation is strong and the other is weak, but from Emperor Taizong to today's saint, and then look at this prince, the three ancestors and grandsons are really alike, they are all equally gifted and outstanding.
He clapped his hands and asked Li Yun outside the door to bring breakfast in. Li Xian said, "You don't have to be too anxious. Today I am going to the palace to visit my father. Please eat quickly so that you and I can go together."
Zhang Wenguan, who was relieved of his worries, naturally followed the good example, picked up the porridge bowl and started eating. Since the shocking incident yesterday, he had eaten something.
After breakfast, Li Xian and Zhang Wenguan rushed to Daming Palace together. Zhang Wenguan naturally went to the province, while Li Xian went straight to the harem to visit Li Zhi. Although what happened yesterday was settled, no one could figure out what the supreme being was thinking. When the emperor is angry, he can kill millions of people.
Li Yun, who delivered the message, came out not long after he entered. He looked strange and held the emperor's edict in his hand.
"His Majesty has caught a cold and feels unwell. He needs to rest for a few days. His Majesty is ordered to supervise the country for these few days."
"Feeling unwell?"
Recalling Li Zhi's state yesterday, Li Xian didn't think he would fall ill overnight.
After receiving the handwritten letter from Li Yong, although he was confused, Li Xian turned around and returned to the East Palace.
After the financial affairs have come to a perfect end, there are still many problems that need to be solved in the government. I have to say that power is really fascinating. Although government affairs are complicated, the feeling of controlling thousands of people with one word is still very good.
As for the witchcraft issue, obviously just let him downplay it.
Although Li Zhi showed signs of decline, his eyes were always monitoring every corner of the country. It's not a good thing to involve yourself too much.
I occasionally feel cold, just like a cold. To ordinary people, this may be a terminal illness, but to the emperor, it is nothing. However, after half a month of overseeing the government's affairs, there was still no movement, which left Li Xian a little confused.
A mission was assigned to the Alliance of Despicables, but what is strange is that the originally all-pervasive alliance is now unable to detect what is going on in the palace. It is only known that there are a few senior doctors who have been living with the emperor. In the palace, even the Queen of Heaven has never appeared.
