Chapter 458 Volume 5 Li Er starts to trick people
Princess Gaochang's approach may be a bit straightforward, but from a political perspective, she really did nothing wrong.
Murong Wanqiu who had a son and a half daughters by her side, and Murong Wanqiu who didn't have a son and a half daughters by her side were definitely two different things.
Moreover, if her sons wanted to succeed in the future, they really needed Murong Wanqiu to leave a son and a half for Li Chengqian.
Of course, she also has her own ambitions.
If her grandson can inherit the great treasure of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will naturally be different.
Even if she returns a hundred years later, she can still have an explanation with Murong Xiaojun underground.
Although this may be difficult, there is still a chance.
Opportunity is something that as long as people are looking at it, no one is willing to give it up.
Just like Li Ke, people say that he has the blood of the previous dynasty and it is difficult for him to ascend to the great treasure, and people like Changsun Wuji will not let him ascend to the great treasure.
It would be extremely difficult for him to take this path of seizing his direct descendants.
So do you think he knows?
He knows it!
But so what if you know?
If you have to fight, you have to fight, if you have to win, you have to win. Before things come to an end, everyone thinks that they are the chosen one.
Who will obey whom?
Therefore, sometimes seeing opportunities is actually scarier than not seeing opportunities.
…
Chang'an City, Fang Xuanling's residence.
During this time, Fang Xuanling has been thinking about it.
As a servant of the Tang Dynasty, he was unwilling to see such a powerful prince.
Even if his son is also in the Ming court, it doesn't matter.
Of course, he would not call Fang Yiai back.
This is absolutely impossible.
No matter what, he had to leave an escape route for the Fang family.
"Get ready, I'm going to the palace." Fang Xuanling, who had been thinking about it all day in his own hall, suddenly stood up and said.
Obviously, he already had a rough idea.
When the steward heard this, he immediately went to prepare a carriage for him.
Not long after, Fang Xuanling entered the palace.
It was still the Liangyi Palace, but at this time, apart from the maids and eunuchs, there were only two of them, the emperor and his ministers.
"Does Fang Qing have something important?" Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling strangely.
Logically speaking, given Fang Xuanling's status, he shouldn't make such a mistake, but it is thought-provoking that Fang Xuanling did it.
Fang Xuanling sighed. He also knew that he shouldn't be like this, but some things really had to be like this. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the previous minister, Duke Qi and others..."
He did not speak directly, but first explained the results of his previous discussions with Changsun Wuji and others.
After hearing this, Li Er nodded. He was still satisfied with these veterans of the Tang Dynasty. He could still carry them all clearly.
Especially at this juncture, everyone's performance is indeed nothing to criticize, even Hou Junji.
"It's a big worry for all the ministers."
"Eating the emperor, paying him the salary and being loyal to the emperor are all things that ministers should do." Fang Xuanling said immediately.
Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Er smiled. He couldn't understand Fang Xuanling. The servant of the Tang Dynasty actually committed two official taboos in a short period of time.
It makes some sense.
He didn't believe that Fang Xuanling didn't know, but Fang Xuanling knew it, but still did it, which explained the problem.
Fang Xuanling has a purpose!
After having this idea, Li Er stopped talking and just looked at Fang Xuanling. He wanted to see what the purpose of the current head of the Tang Dynasty's civil service was.
Fang Xuanling is such a smart person. When Li Er didn't speak, he immediately knew that his little thoughts were noticed by Li Er, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think we have not done enough."
"Not enough?" Li Er was obviously stunned. To be honest, Datang has indeed done a lot now. The key is that there is actually a limit to what it can do.
After all, Li Chengqian is now far away from the emperor in Chang'an, and he also has his own territory. Even if Li Er wants to curb Li Chengqian's development, all he can do is focus on the Tang Dynasty.
"Not enough." Fang Xuanling said, "His Royal Highness now has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Looking at history, when has there ever been a prince with hundreds of thousands of soldiers?
Although His Highness himself shot all of these things, it seems to be a good thing now.
But His Highness, who has hundreds of thousands of troops, may not be a blessing to us in the Tang Dynasty, it is more likely to be a disaster!"
Hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Er became interested.
He understands this truth.
A prince with hundreds of thousands of troops is indeed a disaster rather than a blessing. He understands this truth better than anyone else.
But there are some words that he, as a father, really shouldn't say.
"Why did Fang Qing say that?" Li Er smiled and said, "After all, these are the soldiers and horses that Gao Ming killed with his swords and swords. For me, the Tang Dynasty, how can it be a disaster rather than a blessing?"
Fang Xuanling sneered in her heart, I didn't say it was a misfortune rather than a blessing. Are you now tampering with my meaning?
Of course, veterans like them had already learned about Li Er's shamelessness, but they didn't take it seriously. They immediately laughed and said: "Your Highness seems to be only fifteen this year..."
One sentence immediately stunned Li Erqian.
Yes, Li Chengqian is only fifteen this year, and he’s too old!
Although he also made a name for himself when he was fifteen, he was still far behind Li Chengqian.
The key is that he himself is only in his thirties now, which is when he is in the prime of life. He will still have several decades to live in the future.
Can that kid Li Chengqian endure it?
Even if Li Chengqian can endure it, can the elite soldiers and generals under his command survive it?
Why are they willing to follow Li Chengqian? Isn't it because Li Chengqian has a bright future?
"What does Fang Qing plan to do?" Li Er asked in a deep voice.
Even though he doesn't want to face it, he still has to face these problems after all.
Sometimes, he doesn't have to guard against Li Chengqian, but the interest group represented by Li Chengqian.
This is how he came here back then. Could it be said that he had to launch the Xuanwumen Incident?
No, it was Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Yuchi Jingde, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Qu Tutong, Duan Zhixuan and other guys who persuaded me day and night!
And why are they so persistent in persuading Li Er?
Isn’t it just to pursue your own political demands?
He has experienced all these things, so he really understands!
Sometimes, it's not what Li Chengqian wants to do, but what his subordinates push him to do.
Not to mention, Li Er saw this really thoroughly.
In the original history, Li Chengqian finally embarked on this path and imitated Li Er, but do you think it was just him who had his own way?
Not really.
It is the interest groups represented by Hou Junji, Du He, Li Yuanchang and others who are constantly promoting it.
The only difference between him and Li Er is that Li Er succeeded and he didn't, that's all.
Fang Xuanling was also a witness to these things, so he also understood this truth. He still remembers that when they knew that Li Er had this idea, they still persuaded him for a long time, and then they came up with the following Xuanwu
Door changes.
You know, they were more interested than Li Er at that time!
Because his position is different.
As a courtier at the time, he knew one thing very well, that is, if they did not strike preemptively, they would not know whether Li Er would die after Li Jiancheng really came to power, but they were afraid that they would not end well.
Therefore, he understands the thoughts of Li Chengqian's subordinates better.
Even if they don't do anything now, it doesn't mean they can continue to be so restrained in the future.
If in a few years the Ming Dynasty has an army of hundreds of thousands, will those guys really have no ideas?
How is it possible? There is no greater merit than following the dragon!
