Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

First, the crown prince was deprived of his reserve position, and then he was banned. Two years later, the crown prince Li Chengqian, who was supposed to inherit the great treasure, died in depression.After death, not to mention the burial of the crown prince, there was no funeral at the level of a prince, and he was buried with the official ceremony.

After all, Li Chengqian died indirectly at the hands of his younger brother.

Judging from the life trajectory and fate of the above three His Royal Highnesses...

The three princes all worshiped Li Gang as the prince Zhanshi, and cited him as the prince's teacher. In the end, the three princes were all poor people, one step away from the throne of the emperor, and died directly or indirectly at the hands of their brothers.

Guo Ye thought about all these weird and coincidental things, and couldn't help sighing, this old Li Tou, Minister of Rites, is no ordinary funeral star, he is simply a new generation of "Prince Killer"!

However, Su Dingfang's attitude just now is obviously that he does not support himself in accepting the invitation of the old Shangshu, the mourning star.

But Guo Ye is not superstitious, if it is only because of the experience of these three princes that he missed this big man who is one of the six ministers, wouldn't it be a pity?

Seeing Guo Ye's silence, Su Dingfang could only remind him and asked: "Do you really think that Li Shangshu invited you to Chang'an just because of your talent, and wants to invite you to drink and eat meat, is it romantic?"

Guo Ye knows how it could be so simple. He has gone through the Sui and Tang dynasties, and is a famous and knowledgeable contemporary Confucian. He is the official minister of the Ministry of Rites, one of the six chiefs, and the school affairs and imperial examinations of the entire Tang Dynasty He is in charge of the examinations and the dealings between the vassals and foreign countries.

Even the court etiquette, palace etiquette, and the king's conduct, he can mix it up.

In future generations, this old man Li is like the Minister of Education.

Such a boss, just because of a brave Xichuan, a rare talent, would condescend to invite himself to Chang'an, invite him to drink and eat?

Don't talk nonsense, Guo Ye has a strong heart, but he is by no means arrogant.

Moreover, he somewhat guessed the intention of this stranger from the Ministry of Rites, and tried to ask: "I am not from a scholar's background, and secondly, I am not from a general's background. It should not be worthy of Li Shangshu's motivating teachers and mobilizing people. Take me under the door?"

"Ha ha……"

Su Dingfang said with a smile: "You are quite clear-headed, you know your weight, but Li Shangshu really wants to take you under his wing, to be precise, he wants to draw you under his command."

"Ah? As for what? I am at best a sixth-rank Xiaoqi Lieutenant. Although I am a martial artist, it is not a great official position in Chang'an City. Why should he be like this..."

"wrong!"

Su Dingfang shook his hand and said: "Don't say you are a sixth-rank Wu Xunxiao cavalry captain, so what if you are a Qingche captain? This old minister of the Ministry of Rites values ​​your position as the little guard of Xichuan. In one place, although there are very few soldiers and territories under his command, but with him taking care of you, it might not be impossible to command tens of thousands of troops and guard one side in the future."

Guo Ye exclaimed: "Ah? That's how it is!"

And then he said with a proud look: "What's so bad about that? I was so scared to death by you, I thought Mrs. Li Gang was trying to mess with something secretly and pulled me into the pit together. We are different from you, you at least Jane is already in the emperor's heart, we don't even have a backer, and now there are six bosses who are willing to cover me, what else am I not satisfied with?"

"hey-hey……"

Su Dingfang suddenly sneered, and said softly: "Do you really think it's that simple? Do you really think that Li Gang simply cherishes talents, values ​​your potential, and wants to take you under his wing and cultivate you well?"

Paralyzed, Su Dingfang began to play tricks again. He really didn't know as much as Su Dingfang about the thoughts of those upper-level bosses in Chang'an City.

Immediately suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he shook his head blankly to express his ignorance.

Su Dingfang reminded again: "Think about it again, besides being the Minister of Rites, what other status does Li Gang have?"

Guo Ye couldn't be bothered by this, so he replied directly: "Prince Zhan's business!"

Su Dingfang knew that this kid Guo Ye had a lot of gossip, so it was not surprising that this kid knew the identity of Li Gang's prince Zhan Shi.

Instead, he continued to ask with a smile: "What is Prince Zhan doing? Think about it again, why Li Gang would spare no effort to win over you, the little sixth-rank little Xichuan protector. The court is full of civil and military affairs, capable people come forth in large numbers, There are as many famous ministers and fierce generals as there are crucian carp crossing the river, why do they only want to win over you, a little Xiaoqiwei?"

Guo Ye listened to the sound of Su Ding's dialect, although he was smiling, it didn't seem like he was making a joke.

Immediately, fell into silence.

Prince Zhan Shi, the prince's teacher.

Instead of wooing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the bastard looked at Mung Dou, and fell in love with him, a small sixth-rank Xichuan little governor who lives in a remote frontier.

What Su Dingfang said made sense, what he valued was his three thousand Xichuan army, and the small Xichuan territory with a radius of hundreds of miles that he independently controlled.

At Li Gang's age, the loess almost covered his neck. How many years can he live?What's the point of him wooing his henchmen?

Moreover, Old Li is still a minister of education, and he is far away from military affairs. If he wants to win him over, he shouldn't be attracted by someone like him?

Could it be that this was not Li Gang's own intention?But someone else?

Who could make Li Gang come forward to do such a thankless and condescending thing?

Su Dingfang kept emphasizing in his ears that Li Gang had another layer of identity.

suddenly,

Guo Ye's complexion suddenly changed, he looked at Su Dingfang incredulously, and shouted anxiously: "My mother, old Su, don't tell me that there is someone behind Li Gang who ordered this matter? And this People are..."

Chapter 285

"This person... Mo... Could it be... that is today, immediately... Tai... Your Highness the Crown Prince???"

Guo Ye forced himself to be flustered, and trembling intermittently the name of the man hidden behind the old head of Li, Minister of Rites.

But Su Dingfang smiled without saying a word, blinked his eyes twice, and the giant made a playful gesture, confirming Guo Ye's guess.

When Guo Ye saw it, he was shocked and said, "Mother, a big boss from the forbidden garden of the deep palace was unknowingly drawn out again."

And the rank is not low, it turned out to be the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

What does Li Chengqian want to do?

The majestic crown prince actually sacrificed his own value to win over a sixth-rank little protector from a remote place like himself.

But soon, he was relieved. The Manchu Dynasty was divided into three major factions of civil and military affairs, the old ministers of Wude of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, the old ministers of Li Jiancheng left over from Jiancheng, and the confidants of His Majesty Li Er, who are now more and more powerful in the court. The direct descendants of Tiance Mansion.

So the current crown prince Li Chengqian wants to build his own lineage of the prince's mansion, so it is naturally impossible to start from these three factions.

Naturally, some small officials and young generals of the sixth and seventh ranks in the local area have naturally become his first choice.

Moreover, recruiting these local courtiers with low official ranks will not arouse the attention and fear of his wise and determined father.

Tsk tsk, Guo Ye couldn't help being speechless for a while, but he knew the future direction of Li Chengqian, the unlucky prince.

The prince's warship is not so easy to sit on.

Sitting on it now seems to be beautiful, but after a few years, whoever gets on it will be unlucky, even Li Shimin, after Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, and Li Ji, the British Duke, the most important Xuanwumen hero, the famous general Hou Junji, boarded this warship of the prince. In the end, they all ended up dead.

Now that he knows Li Chengqian's tragic end in the future, will Guo Ye still be so stupid as to run to the thief ship?

The answer is yes, the little brother is not smart enough to jump into the fire pit.

However, he, who is used to watching later palace fighting dramas, still couldn't help sighing: "I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, is his mind really so detached?"

To put it nicely, he has a mature mind. To put it bluntly, Nima is just like his father. He has been so black-bellied since he was a child, full of intrigues and tricks.
