Chapter 4 The Palace Determination
Facing Li Longji's sharp eyes, Wang Ju took the lead in expressing his opinion, saying: "Princess Taiping has reached its peak, and more than half of the court officials and military officials depend on her. As long as the civil and military officials and military officials in the court are concerned, they are more or less targeted by her, especially those with real power, and they are not tolerated by Princess Taiping. She presses everywhere and plans with her heart, which is known to everyone. The situation is very urgent, and Your Majesty should prepare in advance and act decisively."
Cui Riyi flashed in his eyes and said, "Princess Taiping relies on the trust of the Supreme Emperor to rebel for a long time. At that time, when His Majesty was a minister in the Eastern Palace, he was still a minister. At that time, he wanted to eliminate Princess Taiping, but he was still a minister. Now that Your Majesty is the lord of the world and is in charge of the rudder of the world, he only needs to issue a book to make a book. Who dares to disobey? If he hesitates, the conspiracy of all evil people will succeed, and he will regret it at that time!"
Li Longji felt excited when he heard this, and looked at another Zhang Shuo. Among the three, Wang Ju and Cui Riyong were the most caring and obeyed him. They were extraordinary talents, but they were both young talents, and they were not considered great talents with great wisdom. After Liu Youquei was demoted, Zhang Shuo was the first counselor he could rely on.
Zhang Shuo did not answer immediately, and pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, knowing the two coups that Princess Taiping participated in before and after? The five kings who were the ones Zhang Jianzhi killed Zhang Yizhi, and the two thieves Zhang Zongchang forced the Empress to abdicate. If Princess Taiping had not opened the door of convenience, the five kings might not have made such a smooth progress. In the first year of Tanglong, Your Majesty attacked the Yulin Camp at night to instigate the Yulin Army, attacked Xuande Gate, and met with Li Xianfu at the third update at Lingyan Pavilion. Yizhi killed Empress Wei, Zong Chuke, Princess Anle, Wu Yanxiu and other Wei family, and Wu family remnants, and cleared the court. Do you still remember the secret help of Princess Taiping's plan and secret assistance?"
Li Longji had a blue face and was almost on the verge of anger: Everything Zhang Shuo said was true, in the Shenlong coup, Wu Zetian returned to the Li family, he was a spectator at the time, and Princess Taiping's credit was in his eyes. As for the Tanglong coup, he defeated the Wei family in the Qing Dynasty, and promoted his father to the throne, and was a direct participant. If he did not get the support of Princess Taiping, he might not have dared to act at that time.
But today, he summoned Wang Ju, Zhang and said that Cui Riyong and the other two discussed how to deal with Princess Taiping, rather than listening to Princess Taiping's past contributions.
Among the three, Cui Riyong had the lowest status, not even the official of Beijing, but the Chief Secretary of Jingzhou, who was far away from Jingzhou. This time, he entered the court and hit it off with Li Longji and got into the position of yi. He thought about it and made the contribution of the Dragon. When he saw Li Longji angry, he stood up to protect the master and shouted: "What is Zhang Xiang's intention? Could it be that he also got the benefits of Princess Taiping, and got along with Dou Huaizhen, Cen Xi, Xiao Zhizhong, Cui and others?"
Zhang Shuo ignored Cui Riyong and bowed, "I am not talking about Princess Taiping's achievements, but about Princess Taiping's power. Princess Taiping has the power of today, not just relying on the favor of the Supreme Emperor, but has won it with her talent, courage and means. In the two coups, the person who made the most profit was not Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, Jinghui, Huan Yanfan, and Yuan Shuji were not Your Majesty, but Princess Taiping. She rose up with a coup and had the power of today. With two lessons in front of her, would she be afraid of Your Majesty's move? Brother Youqiu also planned to kill the princess with a mutiny, but as a result, he was still planning and let Princess Taiping fight back. If Your Majesty had not dealt with God, Brother Youqiu would have been killed by the princess."
Li Longji was speechless and couldn't help but shivered: But as Zhang Shuo said, Princess Taiping's power scheme looked very similar to his personal heart: Wu Zetian! Wu Zetian was a "weak woman" who was powerless, but she called the wind and rain and trampled their Li Tang royal family under her feet. If it weren't for the old and stupidity, the Li family might not have been able to regain power.
Now Princess Taiping is less than fifty years old. In terms of power-making methods, she has the energy to be young and has become a cunning person. This is the most powerful and difficult time to deal with.
"I'm worried that Princess Taiping will wait for Your Majesty to take action at this moment. When Your Majesty moves, she will have an excuse to move!" Zhang Shuo said solemnly: "Your Majesty must know that the left and right Yulin General Chang Yuankai and Li Ci are all from Princess Taiping. Princess Taiping holds most of the imperial guards in her hand. Only if there are any abnormal movements, the Yulin Army will be used by her. At that time, Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor will all be in danger."
Li Longji was thinking about the situation in the court, but now he was as unparalleled as Zhang Shuo said. He felt really depressed and hatred: "I am the emperor, but I am controlled by Princess Yi. I feel really depressed."
Wang Ju also convinced Zhang Shuo and asked for a plan: "Then we can't sit still, right? Zhang Xiangke has a certain plan for the current situation?"
Zhang Shuo said in a deep voice: "Wait for a while, be proud of his heart, and wait until Princess Taiping's heart is relaxed and he will hit him."
Li Longji pondered for a moment and said, "With my aunt's step-by-step personality, I may not relax for a moment."
Zhang joked, "So Your Majesty also needs to do something, there is no need to compete with it in a tit-for-tat way. With the current situation, even if Princess Taiping is determined to rebel, she dare not openly offend the emperor. In my opinion, Your Majesty can gather strength with great fanfare, win over the hearts and cultivate strength, and do the same as winning with a regular soldier, instead of planning to take a different approach and use extraordinary techniques to win. Your Majesty is the emperor, and it is much more convenient to win than Princess Taiping. This way is to use one's own strength to attack the other's shortcomings, and it will definitely pull the princess' center of gravity to the front. As long as the princess relaxes privately, we will take action immediately, and there will be no hesitation at that time." The more he spoke, the more solemn his expression became. When he said the last sentence, he was even more like a killing gesture.
"Smack!"
Li Longji's talent and wisdom are also his choice. He already understood what Zhang said in his words: he puffed up his palms and smiled: "Zhang Xiang's move to play with his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, and his face was in a fight, and his murderous intent was hidden behind him. It seems that I have to treat the upcoming spring examination well."
Zhang Shuo nodded: "The spring exam is coming soon, and the civil and military exams are carried out. Among the thousands of candidates, there will inevitably be talented and loyal people. Their innocent wealth is much more reliable than many people in the court who seem loyal but secretly have ulterior motives." He said here, he smiled strangely: "As far as I know, the princess has already set Chang Yuankai's son as the top scholar. How can we do what he wants?"
Wang Ju also said: "The choice of the examiner should be the top priority."
