The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 19: Princess Secret Admonition
On June 19th, the great ancestor issued an edict, the king was able to return home, but the king was free from the power of governance, and the king was afraid and uneasy.
——"Yong Shi·Biography of King King"
Li Yuan’s imperial edict is so fast, naturally everyone is surprised, but he can only say that he has the final say, who knows that the edict of this edict is an overnight thing, then King Yong and others will leave Later, Li Yuan was troubled. In the past, if he could not decide on something difficult, he would often discuss with his important ministers, but today’s things are different. Wei Guan has always been neutral, so he would not say much, Qin Yi, Cheng Shu They are all soldiers. They are not willing to intervene in government affairs. Zheng Xia, alas, Zheng Xia is an upright person and always upholds justice in everything. Unfortunately, now he is seriously injured and cannot be counseled. After thinking about it, only Ji Guifei can discuss. However, Li Yuan was reluctant to find her. If Li Yuan preferred the prince’s succession to the throne in the past, the advice given by the concubine Ji is useful, but now he is very disappointed with the prince, but Feng Yimen’s attitude is very clear. It is said that the master of Yimen has arrived in Chang'an in person. Although she did not come to see herself, she knew that she was still supporting the prince. In this way, Ji Guifei’s attitude was fixed. At this moment, Li Yuan only hoped to be able to Someone who has no selfish thoughts can discuss this matter with himself. After thinking about it, Li Yuan was very annoyed. He remembered that in the harem, everyone was involved with the government. Only the eldest grandson and noble concubine had no desires and desires. Why not go to her to kill the time. Look at the sky, he doesn’t make anyone first. To inform, they walked to the Changchun Palace where the grandson noble concubine lived.
Walking into the Changchun Palace, the **** in charge of the Changchun Palace hurriedly came to see him and said that the empress and the princess were relaxing in the palace garden. Li Yuan walked towards the garden. Before entering the garden gate, he heard a burst of brisk laughter. , I couldn’t help feeling less depressed. When I walked in, it was the Grand Concubine Grandson sitting in the pavilion. Princess Changle was wearing a Hufu, and was accompanying Roulan Cuju with two court ladies in the open space. Although Roulan was young, She is very flexible, chasing the ball and running around, coupled with everyone giving in, actually played well, just looking at her innocent and innocent, it makes people feel distressed.
At this time, the **** said loudly: "Your Majesty will drive here."
Everyone listened and hurried over to see him. Li Yuan smiled and said, "I will come and take a look, you don't need to be polite." As he stepped forward, he picked up the blushing Roulan and asked: "Little Roulan kicks Is it good? How come you have time to enter the palace today? Every time you have to invite your aunt Changle to enter the palace personally?"
Rou Lan's big eyes flashed, and her milky milky voice said: "Grandpa the emperor, Lan Lan also wants to see the princess and the emperor, but they all said that if Lan always comes to see the princess, some people will give birth. I'm angry, Lan Lan dare not come."
Li Yuan couldn't help but get angry. He naturally knew what Roulan meant. Some people were worried that Princess Changle and Yongwang Mansion were too close, but the change in his complexion made Princess Changle startled, and he quickly came over and said: "Father , Roulan is not sensible, don’t be surprised."
Li Yuan sighed and waved to reprimand the court lady **** who was serving. Princess Changle quickly let Lu'e hug Roulan, and Leng Chuan also knew that they had a private matter to discuss, so she retreated to the distance, Li Yuan said lightly : "Changle, it really hurts you, your brothers are not good, but you are still involved."
Princess Changle hurriedly laughed and said: "Father, it’s just the second emperor and the others who have been worried. In fact, no one has angered the children for this." The eldest concubine also said, "Yes, the emperor, Zhen'er is your favorite. Daughter, who dares to embarrass her."
Li Yuan sighed and said: "Oh, I am very disappointed with the prince, but how can this abolition of the establishment be easily decided? Now these ministers in the central and upper and lower courts do not want to keep the prince, but to claim credit in front of the prince. It is very difficult for me to support the Yongwang as the prince."
A trace of worry flashed in the eyes of the grandson noble concubine. Although she had never participated in military affairs, she also knew the current situation. According to her heart, no matter who succeeded to the throne, she was not very close to her, although because of Princess Yong Because of the Gao family, she can’t help but feel a little good for King Yong, but it’s not enough to make her support King Yong. Now the emperor talks about this to herself. If she said something that shouldn’t be said, I’m afraid she said it today and tomorrow. Just let people know that from now on, I will find it hard to rest. Therefore, she had no choice but to say: "The emperor does not have to worry about it. It is only natural that these courtiers have different thoughts. You still have to decide the matter of setting up the reserve."
Although Li Yuan felt a little vague, he couldn’t help but said: “Nevertheless, I am in a dilemma. Although the prince is not good, he has been a prince for many years. Although King Yong is good, but It is too ambitious. I deeply feel that it is not easy to build a country. I am very worried that he will ruin Jiashan Sheji in his eagerness for quick success."
The eldest grandson, noble concubine, wanted to say something but stopped. Although Li Yuan was very pleased that Li Yuan trusted him so much, but the concubine's political affairs were a matter of endless trouble.
Li Yuan also knew that she was embarrassed. He didn’t expect any advice from the concubine grandson, he just wanted to complain, so he didn’t ask too much. He told her what was worrying about him, trying to feel happy. That's it. Who knows while talking, but seeing Princess Changle thoughtfully, she curiously asked: "Changle, what do you think?"
Princess Changle hesitated for a moment, then she said: "Emperor father, although the children don’t understand military affairs, they feel that no matter what the father’s plan is, he should settle the situation. No matter how you decide, you can do it. Slowly arrange in the future, and now hang in the air like this, not only is the prince worried, but the second emperor is worried, even the minister of civil and military affairs can not help but feel uneasy and worry about the wrong wind direction."
Li Yuan's heart moved and said, Changle made a lot of sense. I was so delayed in making a decision. Although the crown prince was worried about the unsafe position and resented his heart, even the King Yong could not help but have expectations. Both sides will not be satisfied with their minds. If I calm them down for the time being, and then make arrangements slowly after the decision is made, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Thinking of this, he stood up happily and said, "Changle is right. Now, I am going to formulate the decree, please feel free to do it.” Li Yuan immediately returned to the imperial study room and issued the decree without allowing the officials to persuade him, and he issued the decree vigorously.
This decree was a joy to everyone. The prince was indeed rejoicing. When he saw his father thanking him for his gratitude, he was grateful, almost referring to the promise of Li Yuan that he would definitely change his heart. King Qi was also happy in his heart. For the past two years, he has been almost detained in Beijing. In addition to walking around the horse and Zhangtai, he is a hawk and dog. He has long wished to return to the border to fight a few battles. Now he is naturally very happy when he has the opportunity. It was almost a decree that King Qi left Beijing in a hurry without even talking to the prince, which naturally made the prince tickled with hatred.
Besides, it stands to reason that there was a good chance that the crown prince was deposed, and the king of Yong, who had ascended to the throne of the prince, was hopeless and troubled. In fact, the king of Yong was very graceful these days. Tolerance, he was the first to congratulate the prince. Of course, the reason was that Prince He recovered from his illness. Then he personally sent King Qi to the border to visit Zheng Shizhong’s injuries. He was very busy every day, although his face was calm. But there was no trace of joy on his face, so everyone guessed that he was indeed a bit dissatisfied and annoyed, but they all praised Yong Wang for his magnanimity and broad-mindedness. I don’t know if Li Zhi hadn’t just pretended to be outside, I’m afraid he was already Happy.
After receiving Li Yuan’s imperial decree, Li Zhi was originally depressed. He felt that his father loved the prince too much. Who knew he had entered the cold garden, but Jiang Zhe congratulated him. Li Zhi said in annoyance, "Suiyun, now it’s clear Father's partiality, what else do you celebrate."
Jiang Zhe smiled and said: "His Royal Highness is a fan of the authorities. Now the emperor is very disappointed with the prince. If the emperor secretly warns the prince, it shows that the emperor still has expectations of the prince, but as far as the minister knows, the emperor There is no reprimand. As the saying goes, love is deep, but it is cut. Now the emperor doesn’t blame the prince at all. This is exactly the emperor’s unwillingness to waste any time. In the opinion of the minister, now his highness is only one step away from the reserve. Far away."
Li Zhi said distressedly: "Even if it's a step away, it's close to the horizon. Now that the Fengyi sect master enters Beijing, the prince's power has greatly increased. It is possible to assassinate us immediately. Besides, with her supervision, the prince must be cautious in his words and actions. , This time the father did not depose the prince, so there is still room. If it is dragged on, I am afraid it will not be good for me. Besides, the deposed prince needs to be guilty. If the prince does not make a mistake, then it is impossible for the father to want to depose him. Up."
I smiled and said: "I am afraid that the prince is not thinking that way. Although the emperor has let the prince go, but he is not allowed to govern in the east palace. The estrangement has already emerged. The prince is now suspicious and suspicious of the emperor. I will act on him, in order to protect ourselves, I am afraid that the prince will get deeper and deeper. Now, his Royal Highness only has to spread the rumors that the emperor will not abolish the prince this time, but it is because of the prince’s backstage power, and then we will control the prince. The party’s crimes attacked the prince and did not attack the prince. They only said that those people had the favor of the emperor and the prince. With the prestige of the prince, they must be caught by hand. If we do this, the prince’s own safety will not be compromised on the surface. I would think that we did it deliberately. Instead, we would think that we were given the emperor’s secret order. So the Royal Highness has recently found an opportunity to talk to the emperor several times. Don’t let others know the truth. This way the prince will even suspect that the emperor has made up his mind to make his Royal Highness the prince. That’s why he arranged for his Royal Highness to cut off the prince’s wings. This strategy is to stun the prince. As long as the prince is suspicious, he will act blindly and make mistakes. Then the prince will be deposed naturally."
Li Zhi heard that he was convinced, and said: "Suiyun can be said to see through people's hearts, yes, who would have thought that we cut off the prince's wings with fanfare, but the purpose is not to strike the prince's power."
I stood up and said: "His Royal Highness, it is now the most critical moment. Your Royal Highness should return to Chang'an to preside over the overall situation. Although the ministers have some strategies, only Master Shi can handle many things properly. Master Shi is Complementary talents, if he does not come back, it would be a pity."
Li Zhi said moved: "Suiyun said rightly. Now Ziyou really needs to come back. Now the situation in Youzhou is very stable. Ziyou has also recruited a large number of available talents. He has no greater role in Youzhou. It’s better to come back. Ziyou is careful and cautious. At this time, this king really needs him to preside over the overall situation.” After that, Jiang Zhe is really broad-minded. After Ziyou comes back, although he still has to rely on him. He made suggestions, but he would inevitably trust Shi Yu more. After all, Shi Yu was the prime minister in his mind and the head of civil servants, but he had no fear at all.
He didn’t know that I didn’t care about power and wealth. Besides, my health was not good. Many details were arranged by Guan Xiu, Dong Zhi and Gou Lian. Even Shi Yu’s return had no effect on me. , Shi Yu’s return has a very important benefit for me.
After discussing it properly, I sent His Royal Highness out. Before he had gone far, Li Zhi saw a young man wearing a guard uniform coming over. He was handsome and indifferent. Li Zhi felt that this person was extraordinary at first sight. , But strangely, Li Zhi felt that this person himself seemed to have seen him before, but he couldn't remember that he had seen such a unique young guard.
As soon as he slowed down, I noticed him, but he didn't make a sound. His Royal Highness King Yong had seen Xia Jinyi several times. This time I just tried to see if Xia Jinyi's disguise was successful. When it comes to disguise, I have also been fooled by legends in the wild history, saying that someone can change their appearance, so that acquaintances will not recognize it, but this is impossible. First of all, the change of appearance has many limitations, and it is natural. Appearance, whether ugly or handsome, can always give people a sense of harmony. If you change arbitrarily, it is easy to make people feel a little abrupt. Moreover, if you want to change your appearance, your own characteristics are also very important. If your appearance and body are somewhat special It’s difficult to hide people’s eyes and ears even if they are disguised. They have succeeded in the change of appearance, as well as changes in behavior and speech. Many people can recognize their relatives and friends as long as they look at the back and listen to the voice. It is really difficult to recognize acquaintances.
But this time, I believe in my own methods very much. Although I only know some of my predecessors’ experience with Yi Rong, I haven’t tried it myself, but Xia Jinyi has some methods with Yi Rong. I just need to guide him. Just do it. After careful research, I first asked him to make some small changes in his appearance, just to change the style of combing his hair, and slightly change the corners of the eyebrows and eyes. With his changed temperament, it is easy to make him look like a different person. Same, and then I spent some time teaching him to change some movements, change the rhythm and tone when speaking, he learned very fast, and now he is performing well, the King Yong did not recognize him immediately, and added "Xia Jinyi "He has died under the emperor's anger, so as long as he stays in the simple for a while, naturally no one will recognize him. After a year or two, no one will pursue this matter.
Seeing King Yong’s look hesitating, I smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has seen strangers? His name is Dong Que. He is a newly recruited guard. Although he is not a military background, he can rest assured that this person is not loyal. Yu."
The King Yong suddenly said: "It turned out to be your newly recruited guard. No wonder this king feels familiar, but can't remember his name."
Xia Jinyi, today’s Dong Que, stepped forward to show courtesy to King Yong. He was meticulous in manners, but his expression was very indifferent. Li Zhi didn’t pay attention, but just smiled and said, “It’s rare for Suiyun to accept a subordinate. It must be an individual talent. Being motivated is not in vain of Jiang Sima's value."
Dong Que respectfully said: "Subordinates respect the teachings of His Highness."
Looking at King Yong’s departure, I smiled and said: "Now you can rest assured that you can stay in the King Yong’s mansion safely, Xia, no, Dong Que, you know that person very well, you say he What do you want to do most now?"
Dong Que looked indifferent, but he was very respectful and honest: "That man can't stand it. He can't stand it for ten and a half months, but he can't stand it for a month. What he likes most now is to have a husband. Only in this way can he satisfy his desire to seek excitement. In fact, although Chun's concubine is beautiful, it may not be more than the concubine in his house, but the wife is not as good as the concubine, and the concubine is better than stealing, and stealing is better than stealing. , So he was so addicted."
I thought about it for a while, showing a weird smile and said: "You have been in the palace for a long time. I don't know who has the most beautiful wife and concubine among the officials of the East Palace and the Crown Prince's cronies?"
Dong Que's expression moved, and he thought for a while and said: "The Hanlin scholar Shaoyan's wife, Huo Shi, is extremely beautiful. The prince met her at a Buddhist temple half a year ago and was very tempted, but it didn't take long before he met Chun Lai, Huo. Yan is a newcomer who has taken refuge in the prince in recent years. He is quite talented and the prince also values him a lot."
I asked in detail: "How is Huo's character."
Dong Que said without hesitation: "The prince once sent me to check~IndoMTL.com~ Huo's origin is a famous lady, husband and wife are harmonious, very affectionate."
I sighed lightly, and said: "It's a pity, so I can't take it anymore."
Dong Quewei frowned and said: "Why is it a pity that a woman is not an important person."
I faintly smiled and said: "I never force a person easily, just want someone to die, and let him die willingly."
At this time, Xiao Shunzi's figure appeared, and he looked strange and authentic: "My son, I don't know if God will help you. Just now, the staff was ordered to retire the former officials of the Eastern Palace, and the Hanlin scholar Shaoyan Then I will be promoted to the Donggong.” As he handed me a list, it was the new Donggong official. I saw Shaoyan’s name and couldn’t help but smile: “This is really a coincidence. I asked His Highness to pass it. The secret statement was given to your majesty, saying that the prince’s failure to do so was difficult to rectify, and that the officials of the East Palace should be replaced. The original reason was to arrange a few more people in the East Palace. Unexpectedly, the prince’s backstage was really tough, so he arranged for his cronies to be inserted. , I just don’t know if Shaoyan was chosen by the prince himself."
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said: "The son is really in one word. This is the list that the prince gave to Gui Guiji last night. I have someone copy it." I took the piece of tissue paper with some names on it. In the first place is Shao Yan.
I couldn't help sighing: "You have committed sins and you can't live. He can't help it before I do it."
Dong Que said coldly: "Now he may not have this thought, but he must have seen Shaoyan and left him by his side subconsciously."
I glanced at Dong Que and said with a smile: "The Donggong Attendant is not an ordinary official position. According to the etiquette, the Huo family already has a title, and he is going to visit the princess. You said, as long as the prince has seen it accidentally How many times does Huo Shi, he can bear it?"
Dong Que silently, after a long while, said: "No."
