Chapter 677: Establishing the Crown Prince
Next to Li Xin's hidden mansion, in the embroidery building, Li Xin put his arm around Shen Ruyan and stroked his tender skin, and said: "In a few days, I will inspect Bianzhou, and then you and I will go together!" ”
"Ahh Shen Ruyan, who was still immersed in the afterglow of joy, was stunned when she heard this, looked at Li Xin, and couldn't help but say, "Concubine, is it appropriate to go as a concubine?" "She is just a person who can't see the light, she would rather guard the small embroidery building, embroider when she is fine, or water the flowers or something, but I didn't expect Li Xin to take herself out to inspect.
"What's suitable or inappropriate, I'm the emperor now, I can take whoever I want, if it weren't for the fact that you don't like to enter the palace, I would have let you into the palace a long time ago. Why, don't you want to go out for a walk? Li Xin pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at her.
"That's good, the concubine will listen to the emperor." Shen Ruyan glanced at Li Xin and said, "The concubine saw Empress Xiao next door on the embroidery floor yesterday, and she asked the concubine to go and play fine." ”
"Then you can go." Li Xin said indifferently.
Shen Ruyan glanced at Li Xin and said in a low voice: "I heard that Empress Xiao is already fifty, but the concubine looks like she is only twenty or thirty, and she is more beautiful than the concubine." The concubine was very curious. ”
"When you reach her age, you may be like her." Li Xin touched the skin on Shen Ruyan's body with a smile and said, "However, her skin is tender and white, which is a little comparable to yours." ”
Li Xin didn't know that his words revealed many secrets. I didn't notice that Shen Ruyan's eyes stretched out in horror, and finally quickly returned to normal.
"Since you don't want to enter the palace, give birth to a child for me! I heard that your family is your only daughter, so why don't you let this child inherit the incense of your Shen family? Li Xin touched the bud on Shen Ruyan's chest and said.
"Ahh Really? The concubine thanked the emperor. Shen Ruyan was very happy after hearing this. also forgot that he was forced by Li Xin to obey him at the beginning, and the smile on his face was like a flower, which made Li Xin's index finger move.
"Hehe, in that case, then we need to hurry." Li Xin pounced again, and there was a gasp in the room. It heralded the fierceness of the battle.
Early the next morning, Li Xintian left the embroidery building before dawn, today he is going to issue an edict to inspect Luoyang, Bianzhou, the situation in the court is also to prepare some, especially the matter of Wude Palace, he has decided to let Pei Shiju elder, with Du Ruhui, Wei Yuancheng, Cen Wenwen, Ma Zhou, and the eldest grandson Wuji as the eldest son of Wude Hall Scholar Li Chengzong, stay in Beijing, Duan Qi Chang'an Governor. In the town guarding Guanzhong, Luo Shixin was the commander of the Guards, Wei Chigong was the vanguard of the front, leading the army of 10,000 Guards, and Chu Suiliang was the commander of the imperial battalion.
"You also know the situation in Shandong, and I am going to inspect Bianzhou. From Luoyang, take the canal. Entering Bianzhou and inspecting Bianzhou, Chu Suiliang followed me to, Luo Shixin was the commander of the Guards, Wei Chigong was the vanguard, and Li Chengzong, the king of the Han Dynasty, was left behind. Several scholars of the Wude Hall are in charge of the affairs of Beijing. On the top of the main hall, Li Xin ascended to the throne and said in a calm voice.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the emperor was prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the minister thought that the country should be determined early. To settle the world. Wei Yuancheng was dressed in a purple official uniform and said loudly. Li Xin just made a holy decree yesterday to let Wei Yuancheng re-enter the Wude Hall and become a scholar. He knew how he came to be a scholar of the Wude Palace, so the first thing he did was to write a book, and let Li Xin establish the prince and set the country's foundation.
"Establish a prince?" Li Xin was silent for a moment, then ordered someone to prepare a pen and paper for Song He next to him, lifted the pen, wrote a few words on it, and then asked someone to prepare an iron box and put the holy decree in the iron box.
"I have put the decree of canonization of the crown prince in an iron box, and I will not announce it until a hundred years have passed. As for who will be the crown prince, Zhongqing will know later. I'm not going to announce it now. Li Xin patted the iron box in his hand and said, "At the moment, I won't say who this person is." From this day on, I will seal this object behind the plaque in the temple of the godson. ”
"The ministers obey." After everyone listened, they were shocked, although Li Xin had canonized the crown prince, but no one knew who this prince was, or Li Chengzong, or Li Chengji, or Li Chengqian, etc., it was possible, and more importantly, others would not change the prince, but Li Xin could replace the prince at any time. There are even people who speculate that there is nothing in it, and Li Xin is just doing it on purpose.
No matter what, the court at least knows that the Tang Dynasty already has a new crown prince, no matter what happens to Li Xin in the future, what really happened to this trip, and someone in the Tang Empire will inherit it.
"The general is sitting in Chang'an, and if you are indecisive about political affairs, you can ask Master Pei, and if you are undecided, you can ask General Li Jing." Li Xin glanced at everyone and said, "The Wude Hall is in charge of national affairs on weekdays, and the Wuying Hall is in charge of the affairs of the army. Ministers, we need to cooperate with each other in our work, and we cannot pass the buck. ”
"The ministers obey." Many ministers glanced at Wei Yuancheng in front, this adult has returned to Jingshi, but I don't know when Xiao Yu will come back, and after coming back this time, it is uncertain whether there will be any other impact on the Jiangnan family.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wei Yuancheng and others gathered together, Li Xin suddenly announced the inspection of Bianzhou, which surprised everyone, after all, Li Xin is not an extravagant and wasteful person, inspecting Bianzhou, and it is by boat from the canal, making a big move, not only there are 10,000 Janissaries, but also a lot of naval warships, roaring down, once said that after Li Xin went to Bianzhou, he would go to Jiangnan to see the scenery of Jiangnan, Qin Qiong has personally greeted Jiankang.
Everyone wanted to ask Wei Yuancheng and the others for an understanding, but Wei Yuancheng didn't have the heart to be here, after the dynasty was dispersed, he let people go to Pei Shiju's mansion, he didn't dare to underestimate this old man, he seemed to have no quarrel with the world, and he was already a person who had retired, but Wei Yuancheng knew that the court still couldn't do without this person.
"Boss, did you say that the emperor really canonized the crown prince this time? Is this person His Royal Highness the King of Han? Wei Yuancheng said with some concern. At this time, the canonization of the crown prince is naturally the greatest opportunity for Li Chengzong, the king of Han, but this is not in line with Wei Yuancheng's ideas.
"What? In a hurry? Pei Shiju said lightly.
"Hehe, at this time, the emperor canonized the crown prince, is it clear that it is for him? Every time the emperor goes out, it is the king of Han who supervises the country, and this time is no exception, it is still the king of Han, so this prince can only be the king of Han. Boss, this time you asked me to play the Son of Heaven, and ask the Son of Heaven to make the crown prince and set the foundation of the country as soon as possible. Wei Yuancheng sat on the chair and said with some reluctance.
"Yes, even you know who the crown prince is, so everyone else must know who the prince is. Such a prince is actually in the light, the prince in the light, what are you afraid of? Pei Shiju said slowly: "How old is the emperor now, young and strong, how many years will this prince be, what will happen here?" Don't you know, even if you die, the emperor is still at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, don't think too much, who is the prince, that is also what the emperor said, His Royal Highness the prince made a mistake, then it is not the prince. The days are still long! If you want the prince to make mistakes, you must first make him stand up. Otherwise, there will never be a chance for him to make mistakes, you know? ”
Wei Yuancheng was stunned when he heard this, and quickly nodded, according to Pei Shiju's words, it really makes sense, and he immediately put it away when he took a breath, and said: "The emperor has only been on the throne for such a short time, why do you want to inspect Bianzhou?" What's there to do in Bianzhou? Could it be that he mainly went to inspect Jiangnan, Jiangnan had just been in his hands, and it made sense for the emperor to go at this time. ”
"Gangnam? Do you still need Your Majesty to go? His Majesty's plan is nothing more than Shandong. Pei Shiju shook his head and said, "The emperor is just preparing for the conquest of Shandong." ”
"The emperor wants to conquer Shandong? It seems that Wude Hall didn't make a decision last time and not launch a large-scale attack? Wei Yuancheng said in surprise.
"It's just preparation." Pei Shiju shook his head and said: "Look, if you want to attack Shandong, you must first attack Xingyang, the emperor probably wants to take Xingyang, and now it's just a matter of making some preparations." It is normal to inspect Bianzhou, which will be a gathering place for grain and grass in the future. The transportation in that place is developed, especially water transportation, and even a small official said that if the capital is moved to Bianzhou, look at how important this Bianzhou is! ”
"Moving the capital? Does the emperor have this in mind? Wei Yuancheng suddenly changed, and his face suddenly showed nervousness, why did the Guanlong family develop so fast, and it was not because the imperial court set the capital of Chang'an and the capital of Guanzhong, so that Guanzhong developed so fast, making the Guanlong family a first-class family. If Li Xin really moved the capital, the status of the Guan Long family would definitely be affected.
"The old man doesn't know." Pei Shiju shook his head and said.
In fact, Guanzhong's land is already very poor, don't look at Guanzhong's ripeness, but ten or decades later, Guanzhong may not be able to get more grain, at that time, if you want to get grain and grass, you need to transport it from all directions, and at that time, Caoyun will become very important. He already felt that Li Xin had already considered this matter, but the matter of moving the capital was very important, and Li Xin just didn't show it.
"The emperor made this inspection, and I heard from the people in the inner court that there doesn't seem to be any concubine entourage?" Wei Yuancheng hesitated for a while, and then said: "However, Xia Guan has been to the dragon boat, and there seems to be a strange woman on the dragon boat. ”
"Is this something that adults should consider?" Pei Shiju's face was stunned, he glared at Wei Yuancheng dissatisfied, and said: "This matter, you rotted it in the stomach for the old man, and you are not allowed to mention it in the future, understand?" "The privacy of the king, who dares to talk nonsense? Wei Yuancheng was shocked in his heart, and immediately closed his mouth! (To be continued......)
