Chapter 1098: Temporary Arrangements
Zhao Ziliang came out of Li Yu's place, and after walking for a while, he was stopped, "Regent, the concubine is invited!" ”
Zhao Ziliang stopped to look, there was a palace maid standing in front of him, and there was no one else around, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”
The palace maid said: "The slave maid is the maidservant Cuilian next to the mother!" ”
"What does the concubine want to see this king?"
"Slaves don't know!"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and waved: "Lead the way ahead!" ”
"King, please go with the slave!"
Zhao Ziliang followed the palace maid Cuilian and soon came to a palace, and the Dugu clan greeted him and saluted first: "Uncle is here, this palace is polite!" ”
There was also a man and a woman who saluted with the Dugu family, both behind her, Zhao Ziliang recognized the man among them, it was Li Hui, the king of Han, but another young girl had never seen it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't dare, don't dare, meet Niangniang!" Zhao Ziliang hurriedly flashed to the side, and then saluted the Dugu clan.
"Uncle doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk!"
The two sides sat down, the palace maid Cuilian brought tea, Zhao Ziliang took it and put it aside, looked at Li Hui and asked, "Why does His Royal Highness King Han have time to come here today?" ”
Li Yu touched his head and said a little shyly: "I come to visit my mother every day!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Han has filial piety!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at the eleven or twelve-year-old girl sitting next to him, and asked, "You are Princess Huayang?" ”
Princess Huayang is delicate, intelligent, empathetic, well-behaved, and when he saw Zhao Ziliang asking, he got up and made a blessing: "Huayang has seen the regent!" ”
"The princess doesn't have to be polite!" Zhao Ziliang smiled and said to Dugu Guifei: "The princess is really smart, understanding, and well-behaved, I don't know if I have ever promised someone?" ”
Dugu Guifei said: "Your Majesty is already thinking about Huayang's marriage, but this palace feels that Huayang's age is still too young, but Your Majesty can't wait anymore and is looking for a husband for her!" ”
Zhao Ziliang nodded with a smile and asked, "Today, Niangniang sent someone to find the minister, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”
Dugu Guifei instructed Li Hui: "Hui'er, you take your sister to play in the garden, and the mother concubine will talk to the regent!" ”
"Oh!" Li Yu agreed, not dissatisfied at all, stood up and took Princess Huayang's hand and walked out, "Huayang, let's go outside to play!" ”
Zhao Ziliang looked at Li Hui's back a little thoughtfully, maybe ??????
Dugu said with a smile: "Uncle, I invited my uncle here today, there is a matter to discuss, Miyamoto heard that His Majesty is considering the matter of establishing a prince these days, and last year my uncle promised to discuss with the ministers, and suggested that His Majesty consider my family's son, so this palace wants to ask my uncle for help!" ”
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Huan, who was playing with Princess Huayang outside the palace, and then turned around and asked, "Do you really think it's good to let King Han be the prince?" ”
How could Dugu not understand what Zhao Ziliang was referring to, Li Hui is nineteen years old this year, and he will be twenty years old after the New Year, and his current IQ seems to be only six or seven years old, that is to say, Li Hui's intelligence stopped growing when he was six or seven years old, is it really feasible to let such a person be the prince, or even the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty? I'm afraid this is not a good thing, it may be a bad thing for Li Hui, and he may even worry about his life, after all, there are too many people and princes who peep into the throne, and Li Hui himself has no ability to hold this throne, so he will be remembered in vain!
Dugu said very calmly: "Uncle should understand how many princes are staring at the position of the crown prince, and the palace also knows that being the emperor is not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, and it may not be a good thing for him, and he is more likely to be killed, but if Hui'er does not become the prince, the danger from all directions is greater and more." Datang is now in charge of the uncle, as long as the uncle reigns for a day, the Tang Dynasty will always move in a good direction, and it is safest to sit in this position, the uncle should understand that the existence of the uncle will not threaten the uncle, and the mother of the palace also knows that he can't do anything, as long as the palace can let him live a peaceful life, he will be content! Let Hui'er be the crown prince is beneficial to the king, and it is also beneficial to the palace and Hui'er, it can be said that each takes what he needs. As long as the uncle can guarantee the safety of Hui'er, the palace can promise the uncle on behalf of Hui'er and try his best to cooperate with the uncle to control the court situation! ”
Dugu's words Zhao Ziliang was impressed by her, and these words confirmed that although she was in the deep palace, she saw the situation very clearly, and also understood the situation of their mothers and sons, she was very wise and reasonable, unlike Daizong Li Yu, who was often dizzy, he knew Dugu's thoughts and purposes very well. He Zhao Ziliang is already in his forties, and Li Hui is less than twenty, if there are no other illnesses and disasters, if he is better than Yang Shou, Li Hui will definitely live longer, as long as Zhao Ziliang dies, will the power of the Tang Dynasty not fall into the hands of Li Hui? Even if Li Hui can't fight him Zhao Ziliang in terms of lifespan, Li Hui's son and grandson can always fight hard, right?
Zhao Ziliang admires Dugu's long-term vision very much, she played this hand very well, it can be said that there is no threat to Zhao Ziliang, just wait for Zhao Ziliang to die, her son and grandson can get the power stick of the Tang Dynasty, how can this deal be counted as her earning.
Zhao Ziliang smiled, hugged his fists and said: "The concubine Niangniang is bright, and the minister will not beat around the bush, the minister can promise Niangniang, in the future, the power of the government will still be handed over to the Li family, since Niangniang agrees to cooperate with the minister, of course the minister does not mind leaving this opportunity to King Han or his son and grandson!" ”
Dugu asked, "So let's settle this matter?" ”
"As long as Niangniang can keep her promise not to interfere in the government and not do anything out of the ordinary, the safety of King Han and Niangniang will never be a problem, and King Han will also become the crown prince or even the emperor, as long as there is this king, no one can threaten your safety, and after the death of this king, his descendants will be able to govern smoothly. If there is a transfer of power, I am afraid that you will have to find a prince with imperial qualifications from among your grandsons, and you also know the situation of King Han, it is not a blessing and a disaster for the power to fall into his hands! ”
Of course, the Dugu clan does not expect Li Hui to govern the Tang Dynasty well, so they can only pin their hopes on her grandchildren, fortunately, although Li Hui is stupid, but his ability to reproduce offspring is still good, and he already has three children at the age of nineteen, including two boys, and it seems that they do not have the same problems as their father for the time being.
Let Li Hui be the crown prince, or even the emperor, easy to control, Zhao Ziliang will rest assured to leave Chang'an and return to Xinjing, not that Zhao Ziliang is greedy for power and unwilling to hand over power, but the current situation in Datang is not suitable to be tossed again, he believes that although Datang has calmed down on the surface, in fact, there are still conservative forces hidden in secret, as long as they find that there is an opportunity to take advantage of, they will definitely come out again to make waves. If an uncontrolled or restless prince is made a prince or even an emperor, those who are hiding are afraid that they will see the opportunity.
Back at the Regent's Palace, Zhao Ziliang told Gao Shang, Du Fu, Li Muchen, Li Mi, Zheng San and others about his intention to return to Xinjing, and explained that the current situation in Xinjing was a little unstable. Everyone also understood Zhao Ziliang's worries, after all, it had been more than three years, that is, Zhao Ziliang, it was impossible for other kings to remotely control the court situation in Xinjing and keep it stable within three years, so that the national strength of the entire Western Qin did not stop improving because he was no longer there.
"This king has thought about it, Gao Shang and Zheng San and this king will return to Xinjing, Du Fu, Li Muchen, Li Mi and others will stay to preside over the affairs of the regent palace, except for the appointment and dismissal of officials of the third rank and above, and major military and political matters to be sent to Xinjing to be decided by this king, other matters are decided by you and the cabinet!"
Everyone nodded, but Du Fu was a little worried, "King, Weichen is worried that after the king returns to Xinjing, if the palace member stands up and seizes power, we can't deal with it, after all, the king is not here, will the ministers and military generals of the court and the central government obey the orders of the palace again?" If that is a wise lord, it is fine, the key is that he is not, in this way, the regent palace will be hollowed out, and the efforts of the king and us over the years will be in vain, and Datang is afraid that there will be a bigger problem! ”
Li Muchen echoed: "Yes, Weichen also has this kind of worry, although the king has rectified the rule of officials and reformed the official system and the military system in recent years, most of the officials in the court and local governments and generals in the army are still old ministers, and many people's loyalty to the monarch is seriously ??????."
Li Mi said: "Weichen thinks that this matter is not too worrying, the emperor has lost his former prestige, the Manchu civil and military ministers and local officials are not stupid, they know how to do what is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, as long as the king is alive for a day, no matter where he is, Weichen believes that the civil and military generals and the people of the world will know how to choose!" ”
Zhao Ziliang agreed with Li Mi's words, "Before leaving Chang'an, this king will have a good talk with the ministers of civil and military affairs, especially the heads of several cabinet ministers and the heads of the three provinces and six ministries, you don't have to worry." Li Sheng's Third Army will stay in Chang'an for the time being, and when the king returns to Xinjing, he will send another army to replace the Third Army, and the army of Western Qin staying in Chang'an will always ensure that the Regent's Mansion controls the military power, as long as you let the military power controlled by the Regent's Palace not fall into the hands of others, even if there are people with ill intentions and no military power in hand, they are helpless! ”
The next day, Zhao Ziliang summoned the cabinet ministers Li Xian, Li Kui, and Yan Zhenqing and others to announce to them that he was ready to return to Xinjin.
Everyone was quite surprised when they heard this, and Li Xian said, "Is it appropriate for the king to return to Xinjing at this time?" Is disarmament not over yet? And Weichen is also worried that after the king leaves, some forces will resurge, and there is no king in charge, so I don't know what to do when the time comes! ”
Li Kui, Yan Zhenqing and others also echoed: "Yes, king, why do you want to return to Xinjing now?" The news was too sudden".
