Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

If Qi Wang Li You really ascended to the throne, it was obvious that he, who had made him unhappy many times, would definitely not end well.Even if he doesn't have his family ransacked and his family wiped out, he still has to be ordered to retire from office!

Therefore, even if it is not for the face of Empress Changsun, but just for the sake of her own future, she must support Li Zhi and supervise the country.

But how to convince His Majesty Li Er specifically?

……

……

"A long-term plan...?" Changsun Liyan said with a gloomy face, "Qin Guogong, can this old slave understand that you don't want to enter the palace now?"

Guo Ye smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, grandpa grandson, listen to me. If I say... I mean if... If someone Guo enters the palace today, do you think it will lead to Jin Wang supervising the country?" ?”

"Qin Guogong is an important minister of the country and is deeply favored by His Majesty. Even if His Majesty cannot make an immediate decree, it must be able to make him consider this matter carefully."

"I don't think so." Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Let's make an analogy again. If not only me, but all the important officials in the court unanimously request the King Jin to supervise the country, do you think His Majesty will agree to this?"

"Of course...it can't be done." Changsun Liyan slapped his head as if waking up from a dream, and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid King Jin will not be able to supervise the country, on the contrary, his life will be in danger."

"It's still... So, the key to this matter is not how many people support this matter, but what His Majesty thinks! It can even be said that the more people support a prince, the less likely he is to supervise the country! I Entering the palace today to try to persuade His Majesty may be counterproductive!"

"Then Qin Guogong means... let's do nothing?"

"That's not going to work. If we don't do anything, then the person who will supervise the country may be King Qi or King Jin. This is not in line with our original intention."

The eldest grandson Liyan rolled his eyes and said, "You have told me all the right words and ironies. You can't become a saint in the palace, and you can't do nothing. What are you going to do?"

"Didn't I just say that? Think about it in the long run! There is no need to rush this matter. First of all, what we have to do is to announce the condition of the empress..."

In the next few days, the situation in the court suddenly changed.

The news that Empress Changsun was seriously ill and that she might die soon spread throughout the city of Chang'an.

Concubine Yin is about to ascend to the position of empress, and the news that Qi Wang Li Youzi is about to obtain the identity of His Majesty Li Er's son due to his mother's dignity, was also secretly spread by those who wanted to.

As soon as these two news came out, Qi Wang Li You's momentum suddenly rose!

Among the princes, who is the oldest?Li You!

Who is the adult prince now?Li You!

Who is His Majesty's son-in-law?Originally, there was only Li Zhi alone, but now there is also the King of Qi, Li You!

There are three conditions in one, if he is not the crown prince, who will be the crown prince?If he does not inherit the throne, who will inherit the throne?

Now that Li You's succession to the throne was almost certain, who would he support if he didn't support him in the battle of supervising the country?

Not only to support, but also to support with great fanfare!Otherwise, how can you obtain the power of Conglong?Otherwise, how can you show your loyalty to the future emperor?

Even those who are not too cold to Qi Wang Li You, and even those who have a heart for Li Zhi, are a little bit guilty when they hear the news.Even if I don't show support for Li Youjian, I won't be going against the future emperor, right?

What if Li You was jealous and retaliated against him one day?Left and right are just the emperor's family affairs. Is it worth it to have your family ransacked and exterminated for this kind of thing?

Forget it, one thing more is worse than one thing less, bear with it!Big deal, we don't help each other.

Of course, the eldest grandson Wugou has been the queen for many years, and the court always has some strength.There are quite a few people who swear allegiance to Li Zhi to the death.If these people make a collective statement, they can indeed restore Li Zhi's decline a little bit.

As a result, he was hinted by the queen and stood still.

As a result, the momentum of the two is even more different.The vast majority of officials in the court supported Qi Wang Li You, and a small number remained neutral. In addition, only three or two big cats and kittens supported Jin Wang Li Zhi.

Some of these big cats and kittens are sincerely loyal to King Jin, and some are just burning cold stoves and taking a gamble to see if they can win an upset so that they can turn themselves over.

No matter what they think, it is really insignificant-their grade is too low! , except for Guo Ye's good friend Ma Zhou and Ma Yuanju, no one else is even qualified to go to court.

Ma Zhou, as the chief official of the Prince of Jin's residence, is of course duty-bound to protect Li Zhi's interests. Seeing Li Zhi's decline, he couldn't help it anymore.

Morning above.

Ma Zhou knelt down on the ground and said, "Since Your Majesty has decided to go on an expedition to Goguryeo, please make a decision on the matter of supervising the country as soon as possible. Jin Wang has reached the age of twelve, has both ability and political integrity, is stable and reliable, and can take on this great task!"

His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and said, "Prince Jin is indeed good, but 12 years old is indeed too young. What do other people think?"

One person said loudly: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, the king of Jin must not be allowed to supervise the country! There is only one person who is suitable to supervise the country! That is King Qi Qiansui."

His Majesty Li Er looked intently, and it turned out that the person speaking was Xue Dading, the Chief History Officer of Prince Qi's Mansion, and said, "Xue Aiqing, what do you mean by that?"

Xue Dading said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I heard the news that the empress is seriously ill, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Well, it's true. But, so what? Are you going to bully Guanyin's maidservant because she is seriously ill!?"

"I don't dare!" Xue Dading nodded again and again, and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood, what I mean is, if the Empress Empress suddenly happens to something unbearable during your expedition to Goguryeo..."

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and said: "At that time, at the young age of King Jin, how could he be able to control the court? There was a big battle in the front, and changes in the rear. If it is not serious, I am afraid that my Tang Dynasty will be in danger of destroying the country. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

His Majesty Li Er nodded, and said: "Xue Aiqing's words are justified! Does anyone else have any opinions?"

"My minister thinks that King Qi is very suitable to supervise the country!"

"Your Majesty's only adult prince is King Qi. If you don't choose him, who will you choose?"

"King Qi has profound virtues and is deeply respected by everyone. He is indeed the best candidate to supervise the country!"

"We swear allegiance to the King of Qi to the death, and protect the Great Tang Dynasty for His Majesty!"

……

All of a sudden, there was a surge of sentiment in the court, as if Li You's supervision of the country had become a certainty!

His Majesty Li Er glanced around with a smile, pressed his hands down, and said, "It seems that all the lovers are supporting King Qi, I know it. However, why didn't my minister and the prime ministers speak? Wei Aiqing, tell me!"

Wei Zhengdao: "The person who supervises the country has a very important relationship. The king of Jin is young, so I am afraid it will be difficult for him to take on this important task! My minister recommends the king of Qi."

"How about you, Kong Shangshu?"

"Only talking about the matter of supervising the country, and discussing the matter on a case-by-case basis, of course King Qi is more appropriate."

"Duan Aiqing, what about you?"

"My minister thinks what Master Wei and Master Kong said is absolutely true!"

"Yuchi Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Whoever His Majesty asks to supervise the country will supervise the country. Whoever you choose. I will support whoever!"

His Majesty Li Er asked the others all over again, and finally, his eyes fell on Guo Ye, and said: "Now everyone has expressed their opinions. It seems that except for Ma Zhou, none of them object to King Qi's supervision of the country. . Duke Qin, what do you think?"
