Yang Guozhong's idea coincided with the previous Li Linfu, who also wanted to remove the current prince who was completely offended by himself and replace him with a candidate he liked, but unfortunately he failed to achieve his wish after several efforts.

Li Linfu initially supported the Shouwang Li Mao, at that time Concubine Wu Hui was still alive, Li Linfu was able to call the wind and rain in the court, in addition to the support of Xuanzong, it was also inseparable from the support of the master of the harem, Concubine Wu Hui, the emperor and the favorite concubine were optimistic about him, and his premise naturally went without saying.

The emperor is optimistic about Li Linfu because Li Linfu does have some ability, but he still has no administrative ability, and he is also very obedient, and Li Longji likes to do things.

And Concubine Wu Hui is optimistic about Li Linfu, also because Li Linfu is obedient enough, not an upright and pedantic person, and she needs such a person, she needs Li Linfu to help her with advice, so as to get rid of the prince at that time, and then promote her son Li Mao to ascend to the throne of the prince.

And Li Linfu felt that with the backer of the favored concubine, coupled with supporting the favorite concubine's son to become the prince, he would definitely have a bright future in the future, which also became the main reason why he framed Li Heng by unscrupulous means.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Concubine Wu Hui died soon after, before dying, Li Linfu cried and promised Concubine Wu Hui that he would save up to help her son ascend to the throne of the crown prince, after all, he couldn't do it if he didn't agree, before that, in order to help Concubine Wu Hui's son Li Mao ascend to the throne, he had a great contradiction with Li Heng, an irreconcilable contradiction, so that he could only go all the way to the dark.

But the situation is far worse than Li Linfu imagined, not long after the death of Concubine Wuhui, Li Longji actually fell in love with Yang Yuhuan, the concubine of Shouwang Li Mao, and occupied this daughter-in-law through various means, so it is naturally inconvenient to establish Li Mao as the crown prince, even if Li Linfu has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult to do.

At that time, King Shou was quite favored, and with the help of Li Linfu, there was a tendency to replace Li Heng and become the prince in one fell swoop, but at this critical moment, the appearance of Yang Yuhuan completely killed Li Mao's hope of becoming the prince.

According to historical records, someone recommended Yang Yuhuan to the emperor, but who this person was, but he didn't say clearly, maybe it was Li Heng's ghost, after all, as long as Yang Yuhuan was introduced to the emperor, Li Mao would not be able to be the prince, so that Li Heng's position as prince could be temporarily kept.

As long as Li Mao, the biggest competitor, is solved, Li Heng's position will be stabilized for the most part, so Li Heng's suspicion is very great, even if it is not Li Heng, it is very likely to be another prince, in order to get rid of Li Mao, the most favored and supported prince, so as to lay the foundation for himself to obtain the crown prince in the future.

The suspicion of Li Brown, the king of Tan, is second only to the crown prince Li Heng, as the eldest son, he also hopes to be the crown prince, as long as Li Mao, the favored guy, is eliminated, his competitor, only Li Heng is left, and Li Heng has a great contradiction with Li Linfu, the first traitor of the dynasty, so, he believes that Li Linfu will definitely find a way to get rid of Li Heng, so as to remove all obstacles to his ascendancy, but unfortunately, so many years have passed, but there has been no progress, although Li Heng has gone through hardships, but the position of the prince has never been lost, If it is really a conspiracy designed by Li Palm, Li Heng will benefit from the fisherman.

Of course, whether it is Li Heng or Li Brown, at most they are planning behind the scenes, and it is unlikely that they will do it themselves, because once it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And as long as the master is willing, the people below will definitely do these things wholeheartedly, so that God will do things well without realizing it.

Even, many ministers and eunuchs are who the emperor is, the emperor is not clear, for example, Li Fuguo was sent by the emperor to monitor the prince, but this old fox must have changed his mind, never reported useful information to the emperor, but reported some inconsequential things, so as to protect the prince to the greatest extent, although it is also a selfish heart, for his future prosperity, but he can also be regarded as the prince's person.

As for the person who recommended Princess Shou to the emperor, who is it and whose person it is, there is no record in history, it is just a passing pass, but it is really very likely that the prince and King Tan are doing ghosts, or the rest of the princes, in order to completely cut off the road of the prince of Shouwang Li Mao.

After all, Li Mao has always been too favored, which will inevitably make the rest of the princes dissatisfied, which can be regarded as a kind of jealousy! In addition, the favored prince of the royal family means that it is very likely to obtain the inheritance of the empire, which is even more eye-catching, plus Li Mao's biological mother Concubine Wu Hui is a woman who often makes trouble, she designed to kill the queen, causing the queen to die of depression, and at the same time, she also designed to kill the former prince and the two princes, which is even more disgusting.

In short, all the time, almost all the princes have been very dislike Shouwang Li Mao very much, and the mood is complicated, and even, there is a sense of hatred, but since Yang Yuhuan was taken away by the emperor, Li Mao has let the emperor keep filial piety for three years, and most of everyone's hatred has disappeared at once, because Li Mao has become much more pitiful than before, and his life is a little miserable, so there is no need for the princes to continue to hate him, but they still pity him.

And after Li Mao's road to the crown prince was completely cut off, among the remaining princes, in addition to the crown prince Li Heng, the most qualified is Li Brown, after all, he is the eldest son of the emperor, and his prestige in the court is on par with the crown prince, and he is also the most popular candidate to replace the prince, however, the rest of the princes are also very likely to ascend to the throne.

Just like among Li Shimin's sons, the crown prince, the king of Qi and the king of Wei all have a certain prestige, but the last to inherit the throne is the most inconspicuous Li Zhi, which is beyond the expectations of many people, similarly, among Li Zhi's sons, Li Xian and Li Dan are also the most incompetent, but they turned out to be emperors, and such a situation is also likely to appear in Li Longji's sons, so, until the last moment, no one can be sure which prince will inherit the throne in the future, that is, It is possible for any prince to inherit the throne, and it has nothing to do with their ability and elders, this is the succession rules of the Tang Empire, which is very chaotic and unruly.

Even the crown prince Li Heng's ascendancy was the crown prince temporarily canonized by the emperor, after all, he wanted to canonize Li Mao as the crown prince before, but after the execution of the former prince and the two sons, he suddenly realized that this was the conspiracy of Concubine Wu Hui, which made him quite dissatisfied, so he was angry and did not canonize Li Mao, but chose the third son Li Heng as the crown prince, which surprised Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui.

Li Linfu once expressed to Li Longji very bluntly that he wanted to replace Li Brown as the prince, but unfortunately Li Longji did not agree, so he could only keep thinking of ways to frame the prince, and bring down the prince by framing him, and even, like framing the former prince, Li Palm could be killed.

However, the current crown prince Li Heng is a difficult person, it can also be said to be a shrinking turtle, and he is not as easy to frame as Li Ying, he hides in his prince's mansion all day long, and basically rarely goes out, since he doesn't do anything, others naturally have no way to frame him, even if Li Linfu has the ability to reach the sky, he can't frame Li Heng.

When necessary, he even did not hesitate to cut off relations with his crown princess, and he would not be soft on the people who should be abandoned, so as to protect himself well, causing Li Linfu to be framed many times and failed, and finally he could only helplessly watch Li Heng continue to sit in the position of the prince until he was about to die, and he still failed to bring down Li Heng, the prince, and this made him worried, for fear that in the future, the prince would take the throne and dig up his grave and kill his children and grandchildren, so that their family's incense would be gone.

And at this moment, the only person he can rely on is the ungrateful Yang Guozhong in front of him, because the relationship between Yang Guozhong and the crown prince Li Heng is also very bad, it is an irreconcilable contradiction, and they have common interests in the treatment of Li Heng, which is why in history, Li Linfu clearly knew that Yang Guozhong concealed the defeat of Nanzhao, but did not reveal his reason in front of the emperor, in order to let Yang Guozhong live well, and then complete his unfinished mission. That is to find a way to kill Li Heng and change a prince for the Tang Dynasty.

However, Yang Guozhong in history was very unlucky, not only did he fail to kill Li Heng, but he also provoked An Lushan, who was far away in Fanyang, which led to the Anshi Rebellion that made the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and was killed by the prince on the way to Shuzhong with the emperor, that is, he not only failed to get rid of the prince Li Heng, but was also killed by the prince.

Since there is a common enemy, then, Yang Guozhong can naturally be friends with Li Linfu, if the prince has collapsed, they naturally don't have to do this, but now, the emperor suddenly fell ill, and the prince's position is stable, which makes Yang Guozhong nervous, Li Linfu is also nervous, so hit it off, Yang Guozhong is willing to come over to learn from the experience, and Yang Guozhong is also willing to listen to it, wanting to see the old fox's ghost idea.

However, Yang Guozhong will not be friends with Li Linfu sincerely, he is here to learn from experience, as long as Li Linfu loses his value, for example, Li Linfu dies, he will also rush up and take a bite mercilessly, and take everything that belongs to Li Linfu, his heart is very black?

Li Linfu is also a cunning man, so he naturally understands that he must be useful in order to get Yang Guozhong to cooperate with him, otherwise he will be abandoned in minutes, so he must find a way to make Yang Guozhong fearful, or find a way to drag him down to protect his children and grandchildren.

"Yang Yushi, have you seen Wang Ba?"

Li Linfu asked.

"Right Minister, Xia Guan has not only seen it, but also eaten Wang Ba, and often eats it."

Yang Guozhong said suspiciously.

Li Linfu said meaningfully: "This prince is like a king, hiding in a turtle shell all day long, it is too difficult to deal with him, more than ten years ago, when Concubine Hui was dying, the old man vowed to help King Shou ascend to the throne of the crown prince, but unfortunately there was such a thing as a concubine, and the old man was ashamed of Concubine Hui!" After that, he also fought with the prince for more than ten years, although the prince who had been pressing couldn't raise his head, but he couldn't defeat him, as long as the prince retracted into the turtle shell, the old man could only be helpless, there was really no way at all! Now that the old man's limit has arrived, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to balance the prince, and this responsibility will be handed over to you, however, you must remember that the prince is not easy to deal with, you must be cautious, you can't control the enemy with one move, don't make a move, otherwise, once he retracts his neck into the turtle shell, it will be even more difficult to deal with him again. ”

"The prince is the eighth prince, the metaphor of the right prime minister is too appropriate, for so many years, the two of us have not been able to abolish him, it seems that he is indeed a good eighth prince who is good at shrinking his head! It's really hard to deal with, if he is really dragged to the end and successfully ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, then wouldn't our two families be finished. ”

Yang Guozhong said worriedly.

Li Linfu nodded, and said: "Yang Yushi's concern is very reasonable, this is indeed the case, so, I am also very anxious, the prince has been shrinking in the turtle shell, it is too difficult to deal with, if you want to deal with him, you also need to cultivate new people, and be ready to replace the prince at any time, I will always assist Yang Yushi." ”

"Who do you think is the most worthy of training?"

Yang Guozhong asked.

Li Linfu did not answer directly, but vaguely asked Yang Guozhong to find and discover by himself, and even, it is okay to develop a few more replacement candidates, in short, it is enough to cultivate people who can replace the prince at any time, and he can't control so much about how to do it.

Subsequently, Li Linfu taught Yang Guozhong some political skills, however, he also guessed Yang Guozhong's mind from time to time, which made Yang Guozhong quite scared, it seems that no matter what he thinks, Li Linfu can always know, this is really too scary, just imagine, any of your thoughts and ideas can be known by others, what a terrible thing it should be!

"Sure enough, it's an old fox, and Jiang is still old and spicy! Hum. ”

When he saw Li Linfu just now, Yang Guozhong still had a look of respect, and after leaving the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately changed his face.

Although he admires Li Linfu very much now, however, the purpose of this trip has not been achieved, he originally hoped that Li Linfu would have a good way to deal with the prince, but he did not expect that Li Linfu compared the prince to a turtle, a timid turtle hiding in the turtle shell, which made him very disappointed, that is to say, this trip, he only learned some ways to deal with the prince, but he did not get a good strategy that could completely bring the prince down, and what he wanted was a good strategy that could completely abolish the prince.
