Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty

As far as King Jin is concerned, as long as he helps him get out of trouble, let alone one thing, he will not hesitate to do thousands of things.At that moment, the King of Jin said: "This matter is not a problem." He licked his lips and said anxiously: "I will go, if there is any emergency, you must try to save me."

Gao Yang resisted being funny, followed his uneasy expression, said seriously and seriously: "Jun Xiu, turn around, if anything happens, I will give up my life to save you."

Only then did King Jin regain some of his backbone, he nodded vigorously as if he was dead, got up and strode out of the hall, and when he looked carefully, he could still find that his legs were still trembling.Gao Yang held back his laughter until King Jin walked away, Fang covered his mouth and bowed his head, and bent his lips unbearably.

It would have been easier if Shiro hadn't told me about this matter. If it was really Shiro, Changsun Wuji must be in the Hall of Liangyi at this time, how could he let this matter go easily?Gao Yang was in a good mood, and was amazed at how Silang made such a foolish move.

To say why the king of Wei suddenly ran to scare the king of Jin, Cheng Qian was furious.The prince who has been a prince for sixteen or seventeen years, even if he is abolished at this time, it cannot hide the fact that he was once the eldest son who was loved by thousands of subjects. He was also resourceful and well-behaved. Yu Wei Wang was aggressive, confused and deposed, and now he is in another room, and he is about to be escorted to Qianzhou. Facing Wei Wang who is showing off his might as a victor in front of him, Li Chengqian, who has been calm for many days Without hesitation, he cheated King Wei.

"You really want to be His Majesty?" Cheng Qian sneered.

The King of Wei was condescending, complacent, and pretended to be kind: "Yesterday, His Majesty promised me to be the crown prince, and I will be in the East Palace. I am here to tell you, so you can go to Qianzhou with peace of mind. After all, you were once the emperor's son." , no one will embarrass you."

Even if he is already a prisoner, no one dares to show Cheng Qian's face. He is also a rebel. Look at King Qi, and then look at him, and you will know what His Majesty is thinking. People treat harshly, isn't it the end of life?The guards in the other room are all polite.He is dressed in white, and his beard is clean and clean. All he has left is self-esteem. He can't look at Li Tai proudly. He can't be the crown prince, and he can't just watch the crown prince fall into Li Tai's hands. He would rather let Jiulang do it. !

Cheng Qian squinted his eyes and said disdainfully: "Father told you? Can you issue an edict? Can you offer sacrifices to heaven? Can you declare to all subjects in the world? If you really want you, why is it so late?"

Why the delay? Isn't it because of Jiulang?The king of Wei didn't understand why Uncle Wuji abandoned him for Jiulang because he was also a nephew.Even though he was angry, he was still the winner in front of Chengqian, and he still had a sense of superiority. With thin red lips, he smiled wantonly: "So what if it's too late, daddy is the emperor. Yan Jiuding, once you have said it, there is nothing to change, but you, pack up and go early, there will be no day to turn around!"

Chengqian looked at his complacency with cold eyes, picked up a strand of black hair in front of him and pushed it back, and said very calmly: "Is it enough for you to be your majesty? Can the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty agree? If you are your majesty, you really want you to do it." Prince? Do you think His Majesty really treats you well? Hmph, you, like me, don’t understand his thoughts at all. If you really want to treat you well, you should hide under the wings and care more like you did to Jiulang. Do you think that His Majesty has no doubts about recruiting talents and buying people's hearts? Why has he never mentioned anything to you? It's just that he never wanted to establish you. Even if he told you verbally, it was just to stabilize you. "

He just talked nonsense like this, but every sentence focused on the key points. Why did King Wei fight with him for so many years?However, as a crown prince, he will be enthroned as the emperor in the future, and now Chengqian tells him with the attitude of someone who has come, that the emperor's favorite person is not him, but Jiulang.Everything he does is fetching water from a bamboo basket, and he will end up with nothing in the end.

Up to now, King Wei thought he was only half a step away from the East Palace, but when he suddenly heard Cheng Qian's words, he felt so nervous that he couldn't get past this half step in his whole life.If His Majesty really wanted to establish him, why would Uncle Wuji refuse to do so?Could it be that Uncle Wuji was right about Sacred Heart?

The king of Wei came here in high spirits, but returned with doubts.He didn't see Chengqian's resentful gaze behind him when he left.

Passing by King Jin’s mansion, King Wei entered with reluctance. At that time, King Jin was chasing and playing with his wife and concubines. He was so innocent and innocent. .The king of Wei stepped forward and had a talk with the king of Jin.

King Jin was trembling with fright, and was anxious to find someone to give advice, but found that he had no staff to give advice, remembering that Gao Yang had helped him out of trouble several times, he climbed on his horse and went into the palace to ask for advice.

According to Gao Yang's words, the King of Jin stumbled into the Hall of Liangyi, knelt down in front of the emperor, wept bitterly and said: "I have nothing to do with the common man Yuanchang, and I have absolutely no disrespect for my ministers, my father clearly learned... "

The emperor was stunned by his sudden move, and all the ministers looked at him. The emperor quickly stopped him and said, "No one said that you were in contact with Yuanchang! What nonsense are you talking about, step back quickly!" "

King Jin finally felt relieved, wiped the tears from his pale face, panted, and was about to step back when Changsun Wuji suddenly asked, "Who said His Highness was in contact with Yuanchang?"

The king of Jin thought that Gao Yang hinted that he wanted to tell Shiro, so he quickly bowed to Changsun Wuji, and then said to the emperor: "It's Shiro, what Shiro said is deeply involved, and the law will be dealt with soon."

Everyone changed color.Wu Meiniang, who was standing by the side, said in her heart that if King Jin's words were true, King Wei would lose the chance to be crown prince. In this way, only one of the three princes would be left.

Thinking of this, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but carefully looked at the unknown King Jin. There were still tears on that handsome face, he was very embarrassed, and he didn't look like a fake.He is actually such a weak person, Wu Meiniang compared him with today's, and it is far less than His Majesty.Wu Meiniang gave a definition to King Jin, and she was quite sorry, but after thinking about it, she realized that if the new king is like this, maybe it is not bad.Looking at him again, he found that King Jin was peeping at him with some discomfort.Wu Meiniang was startled, and tried her best to correct her posture without looking sideways.

Seeing that the beauty didn't look at him anymore, the King of Jin was immediately disappointed. Hearing that the emperor ordered him to step down, he hurriedly gave a respectful salute, and retreated to the door. He couldn't help but look at the beauty again. The eyes of the two happened to meet again, and King Jin's heart suddenly became sweet, and he forgot the panic when he came.

But Wu Meiniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that King Jin had left, and listened carefully to the discussion between the emperor and the ministers.

The emperor felt something, and said dejectedly: "Yesterday, Shiro threw himself into my arms and promised that if he was the prince, he would kill his son. After a hundred years, it will be said that he will be in Jiulang. I praise his benevolence and righteousness, so I promised him to be the prince. View now Kuro's words..."

Chu Suiliang said bluntly: "If your majesty needs to establish the king of Wei, please install the king of Jin first."

The emperor was moved by his words, and wept in embarrassment.

The heart of governance.

After hearing this, Wu Meiniang said silently, Your Majesty has to reluctantly abandon King Wei. The king should abandon his selfish love (personal preference) for the sake of the world. When he wants to be cruel, he must make up his mind.

She also thought, if you want to gain something, you have to lose something, depending on whether it is worth using what you give up in exchange for what you want.

After a while, the emperor fell asleep. He seemed to have aged ten years recently, and his energy was low.Xu Jieyu secretly came to look for Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang was delighted to see her, she held her hand and said, "Why is Jieyu here?"

Xu Jieyu made a displeased look, and smiled, "What is your name Jieyu? Why are you divided?"

Wu Meiniang smiled: "Ah Xu."

Xu Jieyu looked around, took Wu Meiniang's hand, took her aside, and said sadly: "You are close to His Highness Gao Yang, why don't you ask her to try to take you away, it's better than being in front of His Majesty." Your Majesty Recently, he has become more and more suspicious. Many palace officials were killed by the Ganlu palace staff.She was very worried about Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang couldn't help thinking of the feeling of gain and loss again, she smiled lightly and said: "I can't go away, if Your Highness really asks His Majesty for me, His Majesty will not agree, and will even kill me." Staying by His Majesty's side is in danger of her life, but she can learn the way to govern the country. She asks His Majesty for help, and His Majesty tries to help her. Maybe she can leave or not, if she leaves, why should she?She has no way to settle down, and must be controlled by others, especially if this person is His Highness, she is even more reluctant.

People should stand on their own, and then seek other things.

Xu Jieyu didn't know what she was thinking. Hearing what she said, she first sighed, pondered for a moment, then turned to smile and said, "Alright, let's save this opportunity and ask His Highness for help in an emergency next time." She thought Also thoughtful, if you ask for help in everything, others may not be willing, but if it is once, even if it is due to affection, it is not easy to refuse.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said nothing, she couldn't stay longer, so she said goodbye to Xu Jieyu, walking in the exquisite and simple corridor of Ganlu Hall, she couldn't help but think of the last time His Highness said that there was a good thing to say to her, and I don't know what it is.

Wu Meiniang immediately felt hopeful, thinking that according to today's situation, the new crown prince will be ruled by King Jin. His Highness said that the East Palace incident happened, so he wanted to tell her the good news.What Wu Meiniang cared about was not "good things", but the good things Gao Yang said to her.

After walking back to Ganlu Hall, Wu Meiniang put everything aside for the time being and concentrated on serving the emperor.The emperor fell asleep, and when he woke up, he burst into tears. He dreamed that the prince was deposed, and immediately went to another room to visit the deposed prince.The father and son talked for a while aside from the servants in the palace, and when the emperor came out, they looked thoughtful.

The next day, the emperor first called the clan to ask who the prince should be. Some said the king of Wei and some said the king of Jin, and so on.Ask the princess again.The prince is not only the crown prince of the world, but also the successor of the royal family. The reason for asking the princess of the clan is out of kinship.

Not everyone asked, but they summoned several eldest princesses and the eldest daughter, Princess Changle. Princess Changle is the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson's family, and she prefers King Jin, while the eldest princesses prefer King Wei.The emperor asked Gao Yang again.

Gao Yang replied: "Jiulang is benevolent and filial. He will take care of his relatives and not make my relatives neglected." He just explained his position.

The emperor naturally thought of Chengqian's sentence "If you make Tai the prince, you will fall into his plan. It is better to die at the hands of your father than to be humiliated by your younger brother."

This is the eldest son he has loved for more than 20 years. At the beginning of his rebellion, the emperor was disappointed and resentful. Now he has been deposed and will be exiled. In the future, the father and son will never see each other again. The emperor only feels sorry for the eldest son. , dear father and son, how come overnight hatred?

Chengqian clearly stabbed King Wei in the back, and the emperor listened.

The emperor spent two months summoning the clan princesses one by one to ask.After asking them, the emperor called his important ministers to ask.Everyone knew in their hearts that the emperor had already chosen someone.

Soon after, the emperor summoned the civil and military ministers of the sixth rank and above to the Taiji Hall, and asked who should be the crown prince. When he asked, the emperor said: "Chengqian is rebellious, and the king of Wei is dangerous. Neither of them can be established. The rest are kings." , who can save it?"

There is a saying in the law of etiquette that if there is a son, the son is established, and if there is no son, the elder is established. According to the elder and younger, Wu Wangke should be established, but he is not the son of the son, and the elder and younger are weaker than the son.On the surface, it seems that the emperor asked the ministers for their opinions, but in fact, there is only one answer.

Therefore, all the ministers cheered in unison: "The King of Jin is benevolent and filial, and he can be an heir!"

At the same time, the king of Wei was summoned into the palace with more than a hundred horses. As soon as he entered the Suzhang Gate, he was taken down and imprisoned in Beiyuan, and no one was allowed to visit.

In Bingxu, the emperor issued an edict, making Jin Wangzhi the crown prince, and pardoning the world for three days.

The battle for the reserve position that had been turmoil for several months was finally settled, and it was worse for those who stood on the wrong team. Wei Wangtai was demoted to be the king of Donglai County, and his staff were either exiled or demoted, with no future.Those who were in the right team were also more confused, because the crown prince was very panicked and didn't know what to do.

In order for Li Zhi to be able to secure his position as a reserve, the emperor made his eldest grandson Wuji the prince's grand teacher, Fang Xuanling as the prince's tutor, and Xiao Yu the prince's protector. He devoted himself very much, and brought all the useful people from the former prince Zhan Shi's mansion to the new prince. use.

The bureaucrats are too powerful, and they can do what needs to be done without saying much, so that the new prince doesn't even know what he is going to do.

Moreover, the Crown Prince was in a trance like a dream. For some reason, he suddenly became the Crown Prince. It was as if a bait had fallen from the world.

The prince was not even in the mood to play with the concubine Ji, so he left his favorite concubine Wang and the prince Liangdi Xiao to go to the palace to drink with Gao Yang.

The East Palace is adjacent to Da Nei, which is much more convenient for him to enter the palace from Jin Wang's residence in the past.

Gao Yang was sitting in the hall, wondering if the position of the crown prince had been confirmed, if she wanted to talk to Ah Wu about it, then she heard that the crown prince was coming.

Gao Yang got up calmly, and ordered someone to open the middle door to meet him.

The crown prince looked at this posture which was very different from the past with sighs, held Gao Yang's hand with emotion and said: "Once you become a crown prince, etiquette makes people divide."

Gao Yang withdrew his hand and kicked him: "Don't move, the prince should look like a prince!"

Prince: "..." It doesn't seem like much, that's good, learning the rules recently made him feel uncomfortable, and immediately said happily: "Put such a posture, I thought I would do that. "

Gao Yang was speechless, he glanced at him and said: "It's the first time you come to the door, of course you have to be more grand, otherwise people will say that I'm disrespectful, and you're disrespectful." Let's save a little trouble for each of us.

The prince thought for a moment, it made sense, he walked into the hall, Mr. Ling Zhu, who was familiar with the way, ordered wine and food.

After a while, the wine and the delicacies came, the prince raised his head and drank a glass in one go, sighed comfortably, and said to Gao Yang, "You don't know how aggrieved I am, those people say that this can't be done, and then say That can't be done, what can be done, and they don't say anything, and they blame me, but I can't help them." What can I do?Dong Gongchen was tougher than him.

Gao Yang held the chopsticks, set dishes with him personally, and persuaded him: "They are used to handling affairs in the court, they understand the righteousness and the rules, you just need to ask more."

The crown prince dejectedly said: "I understand, I tolerated them, and earned a good reputation. That is, I always feel that Daddy still values ​​Shiro, and he wanted to make Shiro up." I am happy, even if I am not very proficient now, I can always get started slowly, but His Majesty seems not very happy.

Gao Yang thought for a while, and then came up with an idea with him: "If you want to earn fame, it's better to earn enough."

The prince was refreshed, his eyes lit up, he looked at Gao Yang and said, "Say it."

"Father is worried about Da Lang and Shiro. Why don't you go up and ask His Majesty to give them preferential treatment. This will not only show your kindness and friendship, but also relieve Father's worries. Wouldn't it be both?"

The prince thought about it, and applauded: "Great kindness!" In this way, His Majesty will definitely be satisfied with him, and the ministers will also praise him.

Seeing that his eyes were shining brightly, Gao Yang knew that he had listened, so he could not help but smile reservedly.The prince was reminded, with such a way to gain both presence and favorability, his spirits were lifted, but he was not in a hurry to go back and implement the matter, he was still a little cautious, and carefully took out a jade pendant from his bosom Come, bring it to Gao Yang and say: "This, you give that for me..." The crown prince lowered his head in embarrassment, and said softly, "It's the servant girl next to His Majesty that I told you about last time."

Gao Yang's originally reserved and smiling face froze for a moment, he stared at the jade pendant with lustrous quality, he didn't dare to touch it, and thought,... this can't be the legendary token of love.After thinking about it, I was very angry, I dare not give a token of love face to face, I will give it for you, can it be regarded as my love for Ah Wu?
