Chapter 2010: Suddenly Enlightened

[It's coming, the first chapter of the early morning hair! ] 】

Ma Zhou said: "King Qin, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. In fact, the prince is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. Just one sentence can't keep your property. ”

Guo Ye's face changed suddenly, and he said, "How do you say this?" ”

"How can I say it, in fact, Your Majesty doesn't trust the crown prince very much now......"

"Is that true?"

"Although you don't have any duties now, you have a lot of old departments in Chang'an, and it is not difficult to inquire about some news, so why should I lie on this issue?"

"Why the hell?" Guo Ye frowned and said, "At that time, His Majesty withdrew his troops from Liaodong, and he once suspected that the King of Qi was colluding with Goguryeo. It is said that he should trust the prince more, why did he become suspicious of the prince. ”

Ma Zhou smiled bitterly: "The bad thing about this matter is that Your Majesty has to withdraw troops from Liaodong. ”

"You mean, Your Majesty suspects that it is the crown prince who is colluding with Goguryeo? No way! Totally impossible! The prince is nothing more than a child, how could he be involved in such a big matter? ”

"It's not like that, the point is that we lost too badly this time. Not to mention the annihilation of the naval division, the army was pursued and killed by the remnants of Goguryeo's troops in various places, losing nearly 20,000 people. As for the horses and baggage, they were almost all discarded. ”

Guo Yedao: "The 100,000 army went to war, and in the end, there were only 40,000 remnants of the defeated soldiers who lost their armor and abandoned their armor, no matter what, it was a defeat." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? After His Majesty returned to the army, rumors spread. Some people say that our Datang died nearly a million people in the battle in Liaodong, and some people say that I am afraid that Datang will die in the footsteps of the Great Sui. Some people say that Your Majesty has been sick because of this incident, and I am afraid that he will die soon......"

Guo Ye waved his hand to interrupt Ma Zhou and said, "You told me this, what does it have to do with the prince?" ”

"King Qin, don't worry, listen to what I say. There is a way that good things do not go out, and evil things go thousands of miles, and these rumors soon spread all over the land of China. What is good is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat in Chang'an and won a great victory, annihilating Xue Yantuo's army. ”

Guo Ye said: "No, isn't this battle fought by Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just playing a role in stabilizing people's hearts. ”

"Of course, the battle was fought by the Patriotic Prince. However, the people are ignorant, how can they think so much. They only knew that His Majesty had been beaten back by others. The crown prince sat in Chang'an, but he won a big victory. What a contrast! ”

"So what?"

"What else? That's amazing! As soon as these two rumors came out, some people who were hungry for profit couldn't sit still. There was a common man named Duan Zhichong in Qizhou, who wrote a letter and asked the emperor to entrust all political affairs to the crown prince. ”

"And this?" Guo Ye said: "The prince is in big trouble now. ”

"Duan Zhichong said that he was the prince of the government, but the implication was that he was not asking His Majesty to take off his dragon robe and give way? When an ordinary person writes and talks about things, is he motivated by his own desires, or is he instigated by someone with a heart? Can Your Majesty not make a mistake in his heart? ”

"And how is this handled?"

The crown prince immediately wept bitterly, pointing out that the oath of heaven would never touch the throne. The ministers asked Duan Zhichong to be punished. ”

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty said that Duan Zhichong, as a puppet, wants to participate in the replacement of the throne. If I am guilty, it means that he is outspoken and daring. If I am not guilty, then he is just a madman. Don't I even have that measure? In the end, the matter was over. ”

Guo Ye knew very well that this matter could not be said to be over, but that thorn had already been buried in the heart of His Majesty Li Er.

No wonder when he shared a car with him today, he said words to protect the king of Qi.

It turns out that in the minds of His Majesty Li Er, these two sons are not good birds! Everyone covets the throne, it's nothing more than fifty steps and a hundred steps.

However, then again, those who are now qualified to inherit his throne are those two goods. If you establish a successor, then you have to establish Li Zhi. If you stand up, then you have to stand up Li You. No matter how reluctant he is, he has to choose between these two in the end.

Therefore, in the end, he can only strike a balance between these two people, and he is unwilling to let either one dominate.

Now it seems that His Majesty Li Er let Wei Ting go lightly, and it is very easy to understand - if Wei Ting is transferred, what will Li You do to fight with the prince?

Guo Ye thought again, His Majesty Li Er's honor given to him today is probably not just as simple as fighting with the ministers.

He deeply felt that his throne was unstable, and announced to the people of the world: I have not been defeated in the battle of Goguryeo. Not only did he not lose, but he also won a big victory. If you don't believe it, please look at the exploits of King Guo Ye of Qin!

Burn the city of Pyongyang and capture Yuan Taizuo alive! Burned the enemy's kingdom and captured the enemy's king's own grandfather, is there such a defeat? It's a ridiculous joke!

In addition, the crown prince defeated Xue Yantuo, and the victory was not so perfect. In the end, it was up to Guo Ye, the king of Qin, to catch Xue Qun, and this battle could be regarded as a perfect end.

And what does it mean that I trust King Qin so much? It shows that King Qin is my person, and his credit is all my share! It's really not good for this Tang Dynasty to be without me at the helm, whether it's the prince or the king of Qi, they are all tender!

After thinking about the cause and effect of this matter, Guo Ye had a clear understanding of Li Zhi's situation, and said: "In this way, it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince's situation is indeed not very good. ”

"Isn't it? To put it bluntly, the crown prince is noble entirely because he can inherit the throne in the future. As for now, it has no real power. Even if he speaks to protect your property, in the face of such a big interest, seeing that His Majesty is becoming more and more distrustful of the crown prince, who is willing to listen. ”

Guo Yedao: "So, he spent money to buy the shares of Changle Fang Daqian Village. In that case, if people find trouble with Changle Fang's big money village, they will directly slap the prince in the face. In any case, the crown prince still has hope of inheriting the throne, and no one dares to go too far. ”

"That's the truth. Don't think that the prince has little money, in order to build the Great Ci'en Temple, the prince's family has been hollowed out. These 200,000 yuan, but it was hard to make it up. Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wants to appreciate something, but he can't turn it around. ”

As he spoke, Ma Zhou handed over the contract in his hand again and said, "You have taken this." In addition, you have to pay back the 200,000 yuan quickly......"

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it." Since the prince did buy these shares for my own good. How can I, Guo Ye, be an ungrateful person? In this way, I won't return the money, and you can take this deed back. ”

"What do you mean......"

"200,000 yuan for half of my shares, the transaction has been completed, how can there be any reason to regret it? From now on, Changle Fang Big Money Village will have four shareholders. I, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao. ”

"Is this what you mean? You're not angry at all? ”

"Of course, that's what I think of myself. Do you think that with the status of the crown prince, you can still coerce me? Rest assured, these shares are a voluntary donation from me. As for the prince's lack of money, he can go to Changle Fang Daqian Zhuang and lend a sum of money with shares as collateral. ”

"That'...... I won't say anything superfluous, just thank you on behalf of the prince. ”

Ma Zhou understands that the transfer of these shares has been recognized by Guo Ye, and for the crown prince Li Zhi, how much benefit is there!

It's not just about money! Of course, money is also very important, and with these shares in hand, there is a stable cash flow. Whether it is to make friends with officials or reward his subordinates, it is effortless.

More importantly, the transfer of these shares represents Guo Ye's support for the prince! Don't look at Guo Ye's previous identity as a crown prince and concubine, which was sealed by His Majesty, but it does not represent his own wishes. Only now did he officially state his attitude.

Although it is said that Guo Ye now only has the name of King Qin, he does not have any office. But Ma Zhou understands that Guo Ye is the master of Jane's heart in the emperor's heart, and sooner or later he will be able to reinstate himself.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, Guo Ye can't be reinstated, he can always speak in front of His Majesty, right? A sentence at a critical moment may decide the fate of the crown prince.

Not to mention, there are many relatives and friends of Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin, and his dedication is likely to drive many people to serve the prince.

Suppressing his excitement, Ma Zhou asked: "You also know the current situation of His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention the danger, it is not much worse." King Qin has always been resourceful, I wonder if he can solve the current predicament for the crown prince? ”
