"Something on the phone?" At the gate, Wei Yuancheng saw the eldest grandson Wuji looking in the direction of Chang'an, and asked with some curiosity. He patted the small city gate beside him, which was made of giant wood, although it could not be compared with ordinary city gates, but it was much stronger than the Yuan Gate.

"I'm worried about Chang'an." The eldest grandson Wuji did not deceive Wei Yuancheng.

"Chang'an, what's wrong with Chang'an? Lord Du and General Li Jing are both in Chang'an, solid as gold, what happened? Wei Yuancheng asked curiously.

"The disposal of Liaodong, as well as the disposal of those bandits. Lord Wei, Your Majesty sent an edict to let the princes deal with this matter, in fact, to see the performance of several princes, this is one of Your Majesty's tests for the princes, and it may decide the candidate for the crown prince, and perhaps continue to investigate. Eldest Sun Wuji said in a low voice.

Wei Yuancheng's face was stunned, for so long, he almost forgot about this matter, he was silent for a while, and said: "Auxiliary, maybe you are too worried, the talents around King Han are fine, and they will definitely be able to come up with the best solution to this matter, and the rest of the princes, there are not many talents around, or some princes are still very young, and basically will not get involved in this prince dispute." ”

Li Xin's adult princes are now only Han King Li Chengzong, Chen King Li Chengzong, Western Regions King Li Chengqian, Wei King Li Chengtong, Zhao King Li Chenghuan, Chu King Li Chengxiao, among which the most unlikely to inherit the throne is Li Chengqian, King of the Western Regions, most likely is Han King Li Chengzong and Chen King Li Chengzong, among which the Han King is the largest, and he is the prince by Li Xin.

"His Majesty the Emperor chooses the crown prince, not only to fancy his talent, but also to his virtue, there is nothing to worry about in this regard, but His Majesty the Emperor's mind is different from others, and no one knows what His Majesty the Emperor thinks. There are so many children of the family, but there are as many as 10,000 people in total, and these people have been killed? The eldest grandson Wuji glanced around and said: "You also know that His Majesty the Emperor hates the family the most, calling it a tumor, in others, I am afraid that you have to be careful to kill 10,000 people, but how can His Majesty the Emperor care about this, if he kills these people, it is really possible, but the princes don't know this, once you take a wrong step, I am afraid that you will lose the opportunity with that position." ”

Wei Yuancheng was silent for a while after hearing this, what the eldest grandson Wuji said made sense, when today's son is different from others, other people are cautious in the face of the family, but he will kill if he wants to, and if he wants to be imprisoned, no one knows what His Majesty the Emperor will do with this matter.

"It's useless for you to think anything about this place, hey! Let's go! Wei Yuancheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty will summon the leader of the grassland tribe soon, there are many things, I can't be busy alone, you have to help me, hey, who let the imperial camp have too few people!" ”

"Alright, alright, let's go!" Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "I believe that after His Majesty's holy decree arrives in Chang'an, Keming's side will definitely react." With his help, it is not difficult for King Han to get through this hurdle. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji guessed well, after Li Xin's holy decree arrived in Chang'an, the officialdom of Chang'an suddenly showed a trace of strangeness, His Majesty the Emperor is inspecting the princes, is it that he no longer trusts the King of Han, or there is a new candidate. Or that there are already other scruples about the family family, you know, those family members are cautious in this period, and there are not many people who enter Beijing to seek a way.

"Teacher, what does my father mean by this?" Li Chengzong frowned and looked at the holy decree in his hand, hesitated for a while and said.

"What's the matter, Your Highness has no bottom in your heart?" Du Ruhui put down the notebook in his hand, glanced at Li Chengzong, and said with a smile: "Your Highness thinks that Your Majesty is inspecting the princes to see if His Royal Highness the Prince he has chosen is really in line with his wishes?" If His Royal Highness thinks so, it is wrong, he may be investigating the princes, but more importantly, he is testing the reaction of the world's families. There are thirty-three families that designed the rebellion this time, of which there are three first-class families, ten second-class families, and the rest are mostly local heroes, but there are so many families in the world, how can these families in their thirties represent, Your Majesty issued a holy decree at this time, just to see what these families think about this matter. ”

"I see." Li Chengzong put down the holy decree in his hand and said, "If you say so, I'm afraid that the king's mansion will not be peaceful these days. The students heard that many families had already entered Beijing and were asking for help. ”

"There may be entanglements of interests between the big families, but they are all big families, they still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, if Your Majesty kills all these families in one go, it means that Your Majesty will wipe out these families in his lifetime. They have to think carefully about how they should deal with this matter. Du Ruhui sighed.

"What does the teacher think my father should do about this matter?" As soon as Li Chengzong's voice fell, he found Du Ruhui's playful eyes, and suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Teacher, the student is wrong." ”

"Remember, you can't ask anyone about this matter, only your own ideas are your own, you are still young, even if you make a mistake, it is understandable, Your Majesty has the world in mind, and you will not care about this matter, but if Your Highness asks other people's opinions and adopts it, in the end it is different from Your Majesty's, Your Highness will lose points on Your Majesty's side." Du Ruhui said seriously.

Li Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, and finally nodded, Du Ruhui followed Li Xin for the longest time, and also understood a little idea in Li Xin's heart, and instantly Li Chengzong left a little idea in his heart. The corners of his mouth showed a trace of bitterness, meeting a strong father emperor is not necessarily a good thing for Li Chengzong, and he is under a lot of pressure.

"Your Highness, do it with your own heart, don't worry, sometimes you worry too much, it's not necessarily a good thing." Du Ruhui saw Li Chengzong's appearance of gains and losses, and couldn't help but admonish again.

"The student understood." Li Chengzong said gratefully.

"Come, pass on Your Majesty's decree to the princes." Du Ruhui nodded at this time, and asked people to pass the holy decree to the princes, but Li Chengzong saluted Du Ruhui and walked out of the Wude Palace.

"What the hell do you mean, Your Majesty? Do you really want to change the candidate in your heart, or are you examining the princes? Du Ruhui looked at the back of Li Chengzong's departure, revealing a hint of deep thought, as Li Xin's auxiliary minister, the first thing to do is to figure out what the main meaning of Li Xin's every action is.

In King Chen's mansion, Li Chengji was dressed in a brocade robe, and his immature face had a trace of maturity that was different from that of ordinary young people. Especially Li Chengji, this person still has some expectations for that position, at the age of twelve, Li Xin let the princes open a mansion outside, although the palace is relatively small, but it is complete, long history, captain, horse washing, etc. are all present one by one, it is a small court in the palace, acting as a staff member for the young Li Chengji.

Of course, compared with Li Chengzong, the king of Han, this figure who may become the crown prince, the staff of Chen Wangfu is much worse, but there are also some powerful figures, such as Xu Jingzong of the Imperial History Tower, Changshi Quan Wanji, etc., which are also very famous in the imperial court.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" Xu Jingzong walked in in a big red robe, his face was full of smiles, for Li Chengji and Li Chengzong, Xu Jingzong thought differently from others, Li Chengzong was honest and upright, and he didn't like flatterers, but Li Chengji was tolerant of all rivers, as long as it was good for him, he could accept it, which was very similar to Li Xin.

Xu Jingzong thought that such a person became an emperor and would be helpful to the Jiangshan Society of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he would rather help Lee Seung-gi, of course, this has something to do with the fact that there are many people under Lee Seung-gi.

"Sir is here." Li Chengji took a document from the side and handed it to Xu Jingzong, and said: "The document sent by Wude Hall just now is a holy decree from my father from the front line, you also know that some time ago, there was a conspiracy of those big families to rebel, Jinyiwei captured all these guys, carefully counted, there are as many as 10,000 people, if it is implicated again, there must be more." Even the Zhaojun Li clan is involved, and the father is now handing over this matter to us. Presumably, at this time, the King of Han, the King of the Western Regions, and the King of Wei had already received the holy decree. ”

"What does Your Highness think?" Xu Jingzong looked at the document in his hand, and frowned slightly, the document was written by the Wude Hall later, and it was stamped with a big seal, and the real holy decree must have been sealed, a thin piece of paper, in Xu Jingzong's opinion, seemed to be as heavy as a mountain. Xu Jingzong took a breath in his heart, he had to think about this matter seriously.

"There are too many people, and I am afraid of the prestige of the imperial court if you kill them?" Li Chengji hesitated for a while, and said: "I'm afraid that the government and the opposition will also have some discussion on this matter, if those courtiers know that it was Lone who suggested killing these people, I am afraid that there will be no one in the court to support King Lone." ”

Xu Jingzong nodded when he heard this, if more than 10,000 people are killed, even the Weihe River will be dyed red, if Li Chengji suggests killing these people, the government and the opposition will definitely have a bad impression of Li Chengji.

"Your Majesty will take this matter out for the princes to discuss, Your Highness, this is a good thing!" Xu Jingzong's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty used to be the King of Han, and every time you go out on an expedition, the matter of supervising the country is the King of Han, according to reason, the King of Han is already the established His Royal Highness the Prince, but at this time, His Majesty took out this matter, which shows that His Majesty is not particularly satisfied with the King of Han, otherwise this would not have happened." Your Majesty is inspecting the princes. ”

Li Chengji's eyes lit up when he heard this, he thought for a while, nodded, and said: "What Mr. said is very true, in the past, it was the boss who got the benefits, but this time it was different, my father released this matter, this is not only to inspect the boss, but also to inspect us." Here's your chance! What kind of reaction does the gentleman think would have if this matter had been placed in his father's place? ”

"Your Majesty is resolute and decisive, if you put it in Your Majesty's place, even if there are 100,000 people, Your Majesty can kill them cleanly. It's just that His Royal Highness is different, if His Highness advocates killing, it is not that everyone in the world knows His Highness's reputation, these families are widely implicated, and I don't know how many relatives and friends, His Highness came up with an idea to kill these people, those relatives and friends will not hate His Highness, but will hate His Highness, His Highness has no chance. Xu Jingzong said in a low voice.

"Yes, such a plan to offend people must not come out." Li Chengji's face changed, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and said: "If you say such a thing, I don't know how many people will be hated." What the gentleman said is very true. ”

"The seizure of the world is naturally made by His Majesty, and now the Tang Dynasty has surrendered in all directions, His Majesty has established the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and when it comes to His Royal Highness's generation, only Wenzhi is needed, and the lower officials guess that the reason why His Majesty handed over this matter to the princes is also to examine the princes' ability to govern the country. Those who are bent on shouting and shouting and killing can only be people who are reckless and militaristic, and they will never be able to govern the world. Xu Jingzong touched his beard and said with confidence.

After hearing this, Li Chengji nodded again and again, and said: "Mr. is still powerful, I believe that at this time, the boss must want to meet his father and kill these people, tsk, but he doesn't know that governing the world not only requires strong force, but also needs to know how strong the compromise, how powerful the power of those families is, even if it is the father, without evidence, he will not dare to trouble these families." If the boss thinks about the trouble of these people, I am afraid that this offended people will be offended and sent to the sea. ”

"Your Highness is very true." Xu Jingzong nodded and agreed: "Although this family has suffered heavy losses after His Majesty's blow, but over the years, the family has not only had money and land, but also connections. This is the foundation that supports the great clans, His Majesty can kill these people, but he can't kill their connections, as long as they are given time, these great clans will soon be able to regain their strength. Can Your Majesty really live long live? A long time ago, it was said that there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year-old dynasties. The family is based on blood and the premise of chasing profits, so that they can live longer. Your Highness, if you ascend the throne and become emperor, how about you compare to the Son of Heaven? ”

"Definitely not." Li Chengji didn't want to shake his head, and said: "My father started from scratch, defeated the heroes, and seized the world, how can I compare to my father." ”

"Even the emperor sometimes has to compromise with the family, let alone His Royal Highness! This time, the minister's guess was good, and it was also thunder and rain. The emperor will only kill the first evil, and at most exile and reprimand other accomplices. These guys, who don't have three or five friends in the court. Xu Jingzong said with confidence.

"What Mr. said is very true, this God has the virtue of a good life, and it is better for politicians to kill less." Li Chengji nodded and said, "This king will use this reason to advise his father." Please open up the father's net. ”? (To be continued.) )
