14. Wang Shiping's Ambition
After the body of Master Mingxuan was cremated, the ashes were carried by his disciples and sent to Jingzhou and buried under the tree in Alantu Temple.
This is the starting point for his practice of Buddhism.
In autumn, the Emperor of the Ming Palace issued consecutive edicts, saying that each of them should not present the talismans to avoid causing trouble and damage to the money.
Since Fengshan was prevented, the feudal discussion that triggered it could be put aside. So the emperor secretly reminded the prince that Liu Zongyuan should not make a move, otherwise the vassal will take the opportunity to seize it and take advantage of the situation.
The prince asked the Shaoyang Court envoy to ask for instructions, would he still want to regain Liu Zongyuan's love and become a member of the Secretary-General?
"Since this battle cannot be ignited for the time being, let Liu Zongyuan be prepared. If he seizes the love, he will probably be noticed by the court and make a mistake. Let the prince's proofreader Liu Yuxi tell him that as long as he is in obedient, I will immediately let him be the fifth rank of the Prime Minister's Hall beside him and will never go back on his word. In addition, Liu Yuxi should be promoted, and he can be appointed as a county magistrate in a certain county in the capital."
In Fuxingfang, Princess Lingxu also received a letter from Gao Yue. Gao Yue's words were obviously panicked. He told Lingxu that he had no choice but to agree with feudalism. He did not have this intention. He hoped that Your Majesty could understand it and also hoped to treat my son Chengyue well.
Lingxu felt a little relieved.
However, almost at the same time, Gao Yue wrote a letter to Yiyang and Wang Shiping, and Gao Yue actually replied to Wang Shiping that if the son-in-law was limited to the governor of Beizhou in this life, it would be too aggrieved. What you should get in the future is the honor of the governor of the German army. I just hope that Shiping can protect my son and inherit the Yue.
"It was because of Chengyue that Master Gao agreed to do this!" Wang Shiping said this to Princess Yiyang, his tone was obviously excited.
Wang Shiping believed that as long as Gao Yue was behind the scenes, his father would have absolute strength and return to Zhending to fight for the position of German Jiedu.
He never dared to think about it before, and he could see it all at a glance: being the princess's son-in-law, as an intermediary between the German army and the court, and traveling between Zhending and Chang'an.
"Husband, just stay in the capital, and it's not good to eat the third-grade fortune in a comfortable and comfortable manner..." Yiyang felt something was wrong and advised Wang Shiping not to have any inappropriate thoughts. "The original flag of Chengde Army belonged to Li Baochen. After Li Baochen died, his grandfather wanted to collect the flag, so Li Weiyue rebelled. Although Li Weiyue was killed by Aweng, his brother Li Weijian is still in the court. If Aweng is really not here in the future, Gao Yue supports you, but his grandfather supports Li Weijian. What should I do?"
"What is Li Weijian? It's just that when he was moved to Fengtian, he fell into trouble with your father, and became Fengtian Yuanzong. Before he could achieve his merits, he painted the Lingyan Pavilion and was also named Prince Wu'an. Will Wei Ling and Gao Shaoshi like him? The emperor really dared to take the world's worst and send him back to Chengde?" Then Wang Shiping asked Princess Yiyang again, "In the future, as long as I can go to Chengde, you are my wife, you can go together.
Zhending, the wealth there is absolutely no less than Chang'an. I will build a house for you, manage a pond and a squatter, and no one can monitor and control you. You can go wherever you want to travel, and you will get along with any handsome guy. Are we the happiest couple in the world? We depend on each other and do not interfere with each other. But in this Chang'an city, there are too many eyes in the open and too many, which makes me feel depressed and I feel miserable."
"What about the further future?"
"Who cares! After I die, the Jiedushi will give Chengyue what is wrong. You and I have no children, Chengyue is our child, and it is legitimate. No matter how many other housewives I have outside, it is useless to give birth to me, because you are Chengyue's mother. So I raise a son for Gao Yue and Gao Yue seeks merits. This is so fair."
Speaking of this, Yiyang was also a little moved.
Wang Shiping asked Yiyang again, and this matter must not be disclosed to Your Majesty, because even if you leak it, it will be useless. It would be great if Gao Yue didn't come to cause trouble for Your Majesty. Haven't you seen Wei Gao and Gao Yue ask your father to Fengchan Hua Yue before, which scared your father very much?
In the end, Yiyang had no choice but to agree.
In the persimmon forest hall where the prince lives, Liu Yuxi had gone to Weinan County to be a county magistrate because of his "commitment to the book". Wang Ji, a Hanlin assistant, suddenly asked to see the prince alone, and then said very closely:
"I don't know if I should tell you about some things."
The prince was puzzled, so he made Wang Qi speak out.
"Director, looking at the current situation, will he inherit the throne in the future, and does he need the support of the strong vassal town?"
The prince was suddenly at a loss.
Because he thought that what Wang Zi said was quite reasonable.
He could not imagine how he would feel if he ascended the throne in the future, such as Wei Gao in Jiannan, Du You in Lingnan, and Gao Yue in Huainan.
"Your Highness once said that even these square towns are all feudal. I deeply agree with it. But before, Wang Shuwen and Liu Yuxi were indignant. I dare not say it, but now I still have to advise Your Highness not to listen to the side and believe it. The situation is here, and it is difficult for the Tang family to control the world alone. Besides, what Wei Gao wants is just feudal. His ambition is just to hope to preserve Shijue and Shilu. Wei Gao, Gao Yue and others have such great achievements and such troubles.
It is a common human nature. If the merits cannot be rewarded, then all the world thinks that the Tang family is poor and merciless. If there is something wrong in the future, who dares to come to Jingnan to serve the king? After that, the Tang family and the princes jointly govern the country, and the throne will be passed down from generation to generation by His Highness. The eight or twelve princes checked and balanced each other, and no one could dominate the divine weapon. This is the best way to allow the Tang family to continue to protect them for hundreds of years." Wang Yi answered in a slight manner, not like him on weekdays.
The prince was indeed shaken, but he was also afraid that his father would not explain it, so he told Wang Zi about his confusion and worries.
"Your Majesty is thinking about the unique system, but since he controls the world, he will lead to the transformation of a martial arts master. If Pei Yanling relies on his power, he will be deposed. This is enough to verify that what Li said just now is "unstoppable" and cannot be reversed by human power. Therefore, You dare to make a bold statement. Your Majesty has such various considerations about Your Highness's future. Now Fengshan is blocked, Wei Ling and Gao Shaoshi know that Wang Shuwen and Liu Yuxi of Shaoyang Court do not agree with feudalism. These two are your highness's personal personalities. In other words, Wei Ling and Gao Shaoshi will definitely hate You... Then when a big event happens, if Wei Ling and Gao Shaoshi are unwilling to be your Highness, then..."
"What should I do now?" The prince was completely disorganized. He was quite indecisive.
Wang Ji took out the letter and handed it to the prince.
"It was sent by Wei Zhiyi!" The prince was surprised.
"Although Zhiyi is far away, I can only worry about your safety. Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan are both scholars. They only hope to show their talents and gain reputation in the debate. They will definitely not lose their position as ministers in the future. However, His Highness is different. There is only one throne, and if you lose it, you will never be able to recover. Therefore, the thoughts and Wei Zhiyi's attitude are all in the letter - this is also the meaning of Gao Shaoshi. He is in Huaiyang and is always worried about Your Highness."
