Chapter 2735 2737【Xizhou marriage】
Li Chengji couldn''t help but be stunned after hearing this.
He looked at Li Yu blankly, hoping to get an accurate answer.
Li Hao let out a long sigh.
??Li Chengji was already made the prince by him when he was still a child.
?More than twenty years of hard work in teaching, I thought he would become a wise and powerful man with great knowledge of the world. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be so confused and could not see clearly as the lazy Lao Wu.
?Li Chengji immediately understood that what Xiang Nan said was right.
??He was so stupid that he was used as a weapon by the powerful family members and repeatedly requested to investigate the Qi Juzi case.
As a result, the public opinion in the world was agitated and disturbed, and scholars all over the world were full of doubts about the imperial examination. The good governance of the imperial court to win over talents and soothe the people''s hearts almost came to nothing.
???If it weren''t for Emperor Li Yu''s great talent and strategy, who withstood public opinion and supported the imperial examination, the imperial examination would have been abolished. At that time, the power of the government will be controlled by the clans again, and ordinary people will have no chance to get ahead.
He simply became a sinner of the Toyo Dynasty.
"Father, my child is confused, my child is confused!" Li Chengji kowtowed repeatedly, regretting his mistake.
"That''s all!" Li Zhen was so angry that he almost killed the prince, but when he saw that the prince finally woke up and realized that he had gone astray, he decided to give him a wide berth.
…
?The second prince Li Chengye, the third prince Li Chengwen, and the fourth prince Li Chengyuan on the side could not help but be stunned when they saw Xiang Nan''s eloquent eloquence and his words that convinced the originally stubborn prince.
Especially Li Chengye''s heart was ringing with alarm bells.
He originally did not take his fifth brother to heart, thinking that he was lazy and had no merit. But now it seems that the fifth brother is obviously very scheming and intelligent, and he really shouldn''t be underestimated.
…
At this moment, Cao Ji, the emperor''s personal attendant, walked in and said, "Long live the report, urgent report from Xizhou."
Xiang Nan knew that it was from Empress Mingyuan, suggesting that Fengchao and Xizhou get married.
??Li Ji took it and took a look, and immediately ordered Cao Ji to convene the ministers to discuss the matter. Then he looked at Xiang Nan, Li Chengji and other princes, "You should also follow me!"
?The crowd then came to Tai Chi Hall.
After a while, all the ministers and the queen also arrived.
The emperor immediately ordered Cao Ji to read the urgent report from Xizhou, "Xizhou is the gateway to the Western Territory. If Xizhou is not stable, the Western Territory will be unstable. Our imperial court has been at peace with Xizhou for many years, and we have been harmonious, friendly, and peaceful.
Now Princess Mingyuan is seriously ill and will die soon, so I suggest that I, the Crown Prince, marry the legitimate princess of Xizhou. I think this suggestion is very good, please discuss it with me. "
"Your Majesty, I recommend that King Xuande be the envoy to go to Xizhou to seek marriage. Firstly, he can inquire about the true status of the countries in the western border, so that he can know himself and the enemy; secondly, the prince can go to ask for marriage, which can also show the sincerity of our court''s marriage; thirdly, he can also visit on behalf of your majesty. Princess Mingyuan." Prince Zhong stood up first and said.
As soon as Xiang Nan heard this, he knew that this old boy deserved a beating.
First of all, if the prince is sent to propose marriage, then no matter what, it will not be the second prince Li Chengye’s turn to show his face. After all, the prince is still here, so there is no role for the second child.
Secondly, King Zhong supported King Xuande in going to Xizhou to propose marriage. Naturally, he had the idea of ????getting the moon first by those who are near the water and the tower.
At that time, once King Xuande has established a relationship with the Nine Princesses of Xizhou, he can use her to win the support of Xizhou, which will be of great help to him ascending to the position of crown prince.
…
Emperor Li Hao heard what King Zhong said but did not speak.
On the other hand, Zhang Meiniang almost raised her eyebrows when she heard what he said.
?This loyal king always looks towards King Xuande and sticks to him first for any good deeds. It is really abominable. At this moment, I heard the sound of doo, doo, doo.
As soon as Xiang Nan heard this, he knew that Prime Minister Gao Ming had arrived.
Gou suffered a stroke a few years ago in the Ming Dynasty and had to stay at home for a year before going to court. Because of the severe sequelae, he not only often walks with a cane, but also always talks to people with his head tilted. A picture of dying and dying soon.
?However, Xiang Nan knew that he was actually pretending to be ill in order to dispel the emperor''s wariness against him.
Because his power is too great, not only as the prime minister, but also as one person is inferior to ten thousand people. Moreover, the three sons also have prominent official positions.
The eldest son Gao Xian is in charge of Anhu Mansion in the Western Territory, and the second son Gao Kun is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The third son is the least promising, but he also serves in the Ministry of War. And his niece is the Queen Zhang Meiniang.
Hence, the members of the Gao family alone were kings and hegemons in the former dynasty and the harem.
Not to mention, he has been the prime minister for decades, and his party members are all over the government and the public, so he has great power. Therefore, in order to eliminate the emperor''s fear, he could only pretend to be ill.
Seeing the arrival of the high minister, Zhang Meiniang''s face suddenly became happy.
With him around, she didn''t panic. Because they have a community of interests, he will definitely move towards himself.
…
"I see you, Your Majesty!" Gao Ming came to the front of the palace on crutches and bowed down.
"I''m sorry to you. You''re not in good health, so you''d better sit down first." Seeing that his legs and feet were inconvenient, Li Zhen said sympathetically.
?But Gao Ming still insisted on finishing the kneeling ceremony, which made Xiang Nan secretly admire his prudence.
It is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, the power of God is unpredictable.
? Many favored ministers relied on the emperor''s favor and trust, so they got carried away and lost their sense of proportion. As a result, they offended the emperor at some point or another, and were disgusted by the emperor. They eventually ended up being demoted, exiled, ransacked their homes, and beheaded.
In comparison, someone who is higher than Ming is a wise person. Although he has monopolized power in the DPRK and is at the height of his power, he is still cautious in his words and deeds, walking on thin ice, even daring to pay homage to a small person.
?It’s no wonder that the ship that sails carefully has been sailing for ten thousand years, and it has been favored by the emperor for more than 20 years, and it still remains prosperous.
The understanding of world affairs is knowledge, and the understanding of human feelings is writing. Xiang Nandu learned a lot from Gao Ming.
"In my opinion, the emperor''s eldest son is still here. If we let King Xuande go, I''m afraid it will break the rules and make foreign countries laugh." After Gao Ming got up, he immediately said to the emperor.
"The prince has lost his virtue, and it may be difficult to convince everyone." King Zhong said.
“I would like to express my sincere words.” Gao Ming glanced at King Zhong.
??Li Chengji couldn''t help but blush when he saw that King Zhong spoke ill of him in front of him without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, even before the prince was deposed, these old ministers would no longer take him seriously.
"Is there any need to hide this? Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows that the prince is involved in the case of raising a son." King Zhong continued.
"This matter is still under investigation and there is no conclusion yet." Gao Mingque said.
?He seems to be defending the prince, but his real purpose is to rectify himself.
After all, the prince had targeted him before, but now he was bitten back by the princes. The prince bribed them to frame him. Everyone would suspect that he was the one causing trouble and bribed the princes to frame the prince.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????There is no need to add insult to injury yourself, others will bury the prince alive. At this time, it is even more important to take care of yourself to avoid getting into trouble.
Because the emperor is not an idiot, even if he is temporarily deceived, he will understand sooner or later. The higher you jump at this time, the easier it will be to cause disaster in the future.
After all, the prince is the emperor''s biological son and the successor he has raised for more than 20 years. Whoever harmed him will be retaliated against in the future.
