Cheng Lin was obviously very worried when she heard Jingwen disdain the prince like this. Cheng Lin is worried that if the crown prince becomes the emperor in the future, or even after the prince has his own power in the future, what will happen to Jingwen? When the time comes, will the prince clean up Jingwen? Moreover, the crown prince is the future emperor, but the current emperor's favorite prince, in case the prince says anything slanderous in front of the emperor, it will be enough for Jingwen to drink a pot. Don't think that you can sit back and relax with the identity of an emperor's son-in-law, I'm afraid that the identity of an emperor's son-in-law is not enough. And the power of ancient imperial power is not something that ordinary people can resist, so Cheng Lin is not worried.

Jingwen saw Cheng Lin's worries, and immediately said, "Lin'er, don't worry, the prince is unlikely." Moreover, there is no need for us to get involved in the struggle of these princes. Those who want to get involved in the struggle of the prince are probably all trying to develop. However, I have reached this point where it is more difficult for me to develop. If I want to continue to grow, I'm the prime minister. I also know my level, I can't be the prime minister. If it is impossible to be prime minister, why should I get involved in their fighting? As long as we stay neutral, what the hell is my business? ”

Jingwen really didn't plan to get involved in the battles for the throne of those princes in the future, after all, these were not something he could mix. Moreover, Jingwen has no intention of competing for the position of prime minister and striving for anything from the dragon's merits, so he is naturally not afraid of the prince. Moreover, who does the throne after Li Shimin belong to, this is probably still worth studying.

"However, he is the crown prince after all, and if he inherits the throne in the future, then ......," Cheng Lin said worriedly.

And Jingwen looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he immediately said: "Lin'er, don't worry, this prince is definitely no play!" ”

"What? How do you know? Cheng Lin asked in surprise.

For a matter like this kind of national reserve, no one has ever been able to guarantee who has a drama and who does not. Even if it's the emperor. may not be able to know whether he can be the prince or not. There are too many variables in this, so Cheng Lin is also worried. But Jingwen actually said so affirmatively, this Li Chengqian is not playing, isn't this a little surprising? How did Jingwen judge it? Now that the crown prince Li Chengqian is very trusted by the emperor, Jingwen will actually think that he has no possibility of inheriting the throne.

"Lin'er, you know what? Today, the crown prince has completely violated a taboo of the emperor, and it is a very fatal taboo! Jingwen said.

"What taboo?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Soldier power!" Jingwen said.

Li Chengqian made a fatal mistake today, that is, he should not have tried to find a way to install his cronies in the army. Li Chengqian may have attracted some people in the Tang Military Academy during this time, but he actually took the initiative to find Jingwen, hoping to help the people he had attracted to be arranged in the Central Army. Because the crown prince must be based in Chang'an. Therefore, if you arrange your cronies to the border guards, I am afraid that you will not be able to help yourself. Only by arranging it in the Central Army can it really exert its influence.

However, Li Chengqian was too stupid to ignore the emperor's monitoring of him. Jingwen can be sure that Li Shimin must be staring at Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian's qiē is all concerned. And Li Chengqian actually got involved in military power, which is very taboo for any emperor. Military power can be said to be the core of the ancient Yiqiē right, even after more than a thousand years in later generations. The military is also very firmly grasped by the central government, and it will never let the military power go by. This is still the era of republics, let alone the monarchy of ancient times? If a king loses his military power, it is almost the same as if he has lost his power.

However, Li Chengqian actually got involved in military power. This is simply self-inflicted. Of course, since Jing Wenti yì changed the army from the past government military system to the current situation of combining compulsory soldiers and non-commissioned officer systems, then the Tang Dynasty also has a standing army. And this may have given the crown prince Li Chengqian hope. I saw the hope that I would be in control of the army. But he didn't know that he had died of his own doing.

"Lin'er, the prince shouldn't be. You just shouldn't put your own people in the army. At this point, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the emperor to tolerate him. You should also know, how did our emperor become the emperor now, can he not guard against the crown prince? Jingwen said.

Cheng Lin suddenly sweated in her head, and she remembered how Li Shimin became the emperor now. The current Li Shimin, who came to power through a bloody coup d'état, even killed his brother and forced his father to abdicate. As an emperor who relied on mutiny to ascend to the throne, it can be said that he was very strict in preventing and controlling mutiny, and he would never make it possible for others to have soldiers. Just like Cao Cao was good at sneak attacks and burning the enemy's grain and grass, but Cao Cao can be said to be the strictest defense of his own grain and grass.

Since Li Shimin relied on a mutiny to rise to power, can he not prevent others from giving him a hand? Li Shimin is probably the strictest in monitoring the army, and there will be absolutely no negligence. The prince wants to install people, but he can't hide it from Li Shimin. The actions of the crown prince Li Chengqian were actually under the supervision of Li Shimin, which is recorded in history. Therefore, Jingwen would never think that Li Chengqian would be able to succeed now. Now, if Jingwen helped Li Chengqian, then maybe Li Shimin would mistakenly think that he had joined Li Chengqian's party and wanted to help the prince.

"Then why can the emperor allow you generals to control the military power?" Cheng Lin asked.

"Hmph, we are foreign ministers, and the crown prince is a royal family. Sometimes, the emperor preferred to let his ministers control the military power rather than let the imperial family control the military power. Jingwen snorted.

Since the dissolution of the feudal system in China and the centralization of power, a precautionary order has been erected in the emperor's mind. As a centralized emperor, the first thing to guard against is not the foreign ministers, but his own imperial relatives. Because of the rebellion of the royal family, it was easier for the common people and officials to accept it. If a foreign minister rebels, the people and officials may not be able to accept it honestly. But the royal family is different, if it is a rebellion of the royal family, then I am afraid that it can be completely seamless in terms of rights, because in the eyes of many people, they are all a family, and there has been no change of dynasty. Therefore, it is precisely because of this seamless connection within the imperial family that the emperor is more strict with the prevention and control of the imperial family.

Therefore, some emperors preferred to let their foreign ministers control the military power rather than let the imperial family control the military power. Once the imperial family is in control, the most uneasy is the reigning emperor. What's more, as Li Shimin, who came to power by mutiny, he is even more vigilant in his heart against the imperial family's control of military power! And even if the foreign minister has the military power, it is difficult to succeed in the rebellion, but the imperial family can carry out the seamless connection of power, so who is the emperor to guard against first, do you need to ask more?
