Of course, Huang Wenze appeared here at this time without a deliberate arrangement. He could not have grasped Li Ling's whereabouts. It was just a coincidence that he came to Xuzhou to visit friends. Li Ling happened to visit Master Zhang Ru through this. The two old men had some discussions about the dispute between the princes in the court before, which made him become interested in Li Ling.

So he took advantage of Zhang Hefeng's mouth and took out his views, trying to persuade Li Ling to give up and continue to support the King of England, and instead joined the prince's command, thus calming the court again.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Hefeng could not argue with a junior in this matter, which forced him to show up and debate with Li Ling for a long time. This is not to say that he has some selfish intentions, and what he said and done is for the sake of this country and the people of the world.

Li Ling could also understand the other party's thoughts. Although he did not agree, he had to mix his spirits to deal with them. Because he understood better how much Huang Wenze had an influence on scholars all over the world, and scholars could almost represent the views of the people all over the world. This made this debate with Huang Wenze look no simpler than the struggles in the court.

This made Li Ling completely concentrate. After listening to Huang Wenze's words, he thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zechuan said that the way of the ruler and the ministers is of course to be discussed, but that is only for Your Majesty today, those who are ministers, including the King of England, must be loyal to Your Majesty. But the crown prince and the crown prince are not considered a true king after all. As the saying goes, there is no two days and no two masters in the sky. How can the two be compared?

"As for the brothers' fences, they are even more groundless accusations. The King of England is not false to fight for the throne, but he never uses evil ways, and he will not do anything like the previous King Yong, which will lead to endless troubles. Even if the bribes above can be supported by others for a while, they will not be respected by others. It is just a joke. I wonder what Mr. Zekawa thinks?"

"While it is true, because the British king wants to fight, it will eventually lead to constant party struggles in the court, and the country and the court will still be a great harm. And sometimes, because the party strugglers ignore the overall situation, they will often bring disaster to the people, and the people who end up suffering will not suffer as the people. As a court official, don't you feel guilty?" Huang Wenze asked immediately, just grasping a little, your dispute will cause great damage to Dayue and make the people suffer.

Li Ling admitted this calmly: "What Mr. Sir said is reasonable. If there is a dispute, people will suffer unrestrained disasters... But, sir, you can't say that without these disputes, the world of Dayue will be completely peaceful and the people will be able to live and work in peace, right?

"How much do you know about the current crown prince? Do you really think he can be a wise monarch in this? I think Mr. Zhang Ru knows this better than you and me, and he has already given his opinion just now. But I don't know if you avoid this and just say that the party struggles to ruin the country, what's the use of?"

This question made Huang Wenze speechless for a moment. He was talented and good at poetry and calligraphy, but when it came to being eloquent, he obviously couldn't compare to Li Ling. Moreover, he actually knew very little about the affairs of the court. After all, he was just a prefect who had left with a title, which happened decades ago.

Although he is famous now, what people admire is his literary talent and character. After all, he does not really have any political talent. People admire him very much, and he only admires his talent and knowledge, and his character, and he will not pose a threat to any force. Naturally, he is happy to recommend such a person, and no one will have such a debate with him.

Li Ling obviously did not have so many concerns, and only said everything he wanted to say to refute his opponent: "Sir, your so-called patriotism and love for the people is more just superficial, just thinking about eliminating the current dispute; but he completely ignored the real roots because the prince was incompetent, and he could not convince other brothers and could not let His Majesty pass the throne at ease to pass the throne to him, so that King Yong would come one after another, and then King Ying would stand up and fight with him!

"Younger can assert that even if the King of England really gave up this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no new princes coming forward. Therefore, instead of persuading the King of England to give up, it is better to let the prince cultivate himself first and improve his talents and virtues first, which is serious!"

"Mr. Li's words are indeed sharp, which makes me feel a little unbearable..." Huang Wenze finally smiled bitterly after a silence. This was considered a disguised concealment. Indeed, when it comes to the debate on this matter, he had already lost a lot, but he did not really admit defeat, because one thing he cares most about. "If it were as Lord Li said, then the emperor shouldn't have made the crown prince the crown prince at the time..."

"This is back to what I said just now. The reason why Your Majesty appointed Sun Cong as the crown prince was, on the one hand, because he was indeed the most precious background, and he was the eldest son of the early empress. The two were also for the sake of the country. After all, the state had a crown prince, so the world was free of worries. Isn't this a common recognition by civil officials in the court and scholars in the world?

"But is this really a reasonable arrangement? The system of inheritance of the eldest son can certainly ensure the stability of the country to a certain extent, but there is also a problem, that is, they were mostly made the crown prince since childhood, and their abilities and character were difficult to see at that time. Just like the current crown prince, Zhang Ru was also his master in the early years, but it is obvious that he is actually narrow-minded and vengeful, but he is cowardly and irresponsible?

"So I have always believed that the position of the prince, which is related to the overall situation of the world, should be based on the establishment of wise men. Only the truly wise, talented and virtuous prince is worthy of reaching the high position. Otherwise, it would be like Hu Hai and Yang Guang, with endless disasters. The world is truly in trouble and the people are suffering!"

Zhang Hefeng's expression changed a little while listening. He really began to agree with Li Ling's statement. Although he was closer to the prince, after all, he valued more the country and the stability of the people of Dayue. As his understanding of the prince has been deepening over the years, he gradually agreed that this is not a qualified king.

Huang Wenze was still struggling there. He stared at Li Ling for a long time before saying muffled: "Then why did you believe that King Ying could be stronger than the crown prince? After all, the Hu Hai and Yang Guang you mentioned were not the crown prince at first, but they were the crown prince whom they usurped by conspiracy. Then when they really ascended the throne, their true colors were revealed, resulting in the death of both Qin and Sui Dynasty.

"I really can't give a proof of this. I can agree that the King of England naturally has my judgment, but I can't impose it on anyone... But Mr. Zechuan, we can't give up on the choke, right? We don't consider a better candidate even though we know that the prince is not a qualified wise king."

After a pause, Li Ling said decisively: "There is another thing that I can be sure of. The King of Ying, who has always been in the southwest and is closer to the people, obviously knows the sufferings of the people better than the prince who has always been high! Also, in terms of military combat, he is much stronger than the prince. Although the prince has been to the northern border, he only lives in Youzhou City for a while. However, when King of Ying was in the southwest, he really led his troops to fight with the barbarians.

"Now, the border troubles in northern Vietnam seem to be threatening again, so on this point, I believe that the King of England is more suitable for the future monarch than the Prince. Finally, there is another thing you may not know. When you disdain Yong's actions of bribing subordinate officials, the Prince actually did such things. However, the King of England has neither the need nor the assets to buy the generals of the border army."

"What?"

"So you're serious?"

The two old men changed color almost at the same time, and then they shouted in disbelief. This was something they could not believe or accept, and they even suspected that Li Ling was spreading rumors and slandering them.

Li Ling looked at them without hesitation: "These things are all students' personal experiences. When I was transporting grain and raising logistics in northern Xinjiang, I was almost harmed by the officials and generals who received the benefits of the prince and were instructed by him. So I will never be wrong in this matter!

"If the two gentlemen don't believe me, you can have someone visit the northern border. Some things still have clues..."

"You... don't need to say it." Huang Wenze suddenly sighed, as if some belief collapsed with these words, and his face became very ugly. "If this is true, the prince is really not worthy of being the crown prince. I will go and inquire. If it is true, I will not speak for the prince again in the future. King Ying... If he is really as wise as you said, then... I am willing to support him."

"I am the same." Zhang Hefeng also said. The problem of the prince mentioned by Li Ling was quite a blow to him, which made the old man unable to recover for a long time.

When Li Ling smiled, his heart felt even more relaxed. He felt that the conversation with the two elders today was more tiring than the previous risky battle. Because this conversation was so important, Zhang Hefeng and Huang Wenze were the leaders of the people. Their words could cause huge changes in the court and the country.

If I say I don’t agree with them today, the difficulties that King Ying, who is in the capital, will face will definitely be extremely great. This is something I didn’t care about in the past. But now it seems that I’m really right to leave Beijing and return to my hometown this time, because this has solved the biggest hidden danger.

So after breathing, he stood up again and saluted the two of them: "The two gentlemen have higher morality and righteousness, and the students have learned a lot of lessons today. But one thing, I also hope that the two gentlemen will let more people know that the stability of the country lies in the king, the establishment of the king lies in the power and virtue, the wise, not in the age and the young, nor in the so-called difference between legitimate and illegitimate!"
