Chapter 1456 We Still Need to Consider the Long Term
Of course the emperor was angry. He had not planned to establish a prince before, and these guys were still opposing it.
Now I want to establish a prince, good guy, but now I am opposing it again.
The emperor really felt that he, the emperor, was too proud of these ministers.
This caused them guys to kick their noses in the face.
The officials also knew that the emperor was angry, but they were not so afraid.
"Your Majesty, I am also doing this for the good of the Tang Dynasty. If the King of Han can restrain his temper, I will naturally believe that he can assume the position of crown prince."
"But if the King of Han does not change, we and other officials will be in danger and walking on thin ice. How can we help handle political affairs?" the official said, explaining to the emperor in a good voice.
The emperor finally understood that he had to agree to establish a prince himself. .??.
For a moment, the emperor thought about acting arbitrarily for once.
He made Zhao Chen the prince, then retired and handed over the position of emperor to Zhao Chen.
Let's see if these guys still have the courage to shout in front of Zhao Chen.
Let’s see if Zhao Chen can deal with these bastards.
But the emperor had no choice, and he didn't know what Zhao Chen was thinking.
He told him several times that he would find an opportunity to make him the prince, but Zhao Chen ignored him.
Thinking about how many people dream of the position of prince, and how many people fight to the death for this position.
But in front of Zhao Chen, he was as abandoned as worn shoes.
The emperor couldn't figure it out.
The emperor originally wanted to take advantage of Zhao Chen's absence in Chang'an to make an agreement with the officials and make Zhao Chen the prince.
The edict should also be established. Zhao Chen will have to do it even if he doesn't do it.
As a result, the emperor did not expect that he would be stuck in this first step.
These officials who had no eyesight really bothered him.
"Your Majesty, the matter of appointing a prince needs to be discussed in the long term. It is better to wait until His Highness the King of Han comes back to discuss this matter."
Sun Wuji spoke in an attempt to relieve the emperor.
The emperor snorted coldly.
Waiting for Zhao Chen to come back?
He just wanted to cut through the mess quickly and decide on Zhao Chen as the crown prince before Zhao Chen came back.
but……
"In that case, let's wait until the King of Han comes back." The emperor snorted coldly, then turned and left.
…
A few days later, Wei Zheng went to his house.
When they got out of the dungeon that day, they were just about to write the edict when they turned around and saw that Jiang Siye had been caught by someone outside.
After careful questioning, I found out that they were sent by Cheng Yaojin to rescue them.
Back at his home, Wei Zheng had been waiting for the emperor to announce the person hiding in Chang'an who was behind all this.
But several days passed and there was no news at all.
Wei Zheng felt very strange. He felt that according to the emperor's ability, he should not be unable to find that person.
But what is going on now?
"Father, Your Majesty is here." Wei Shuyu ran into the study and said to Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng stood up and slowly walked out of the study. He saw the emperor already sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, slowly sipping tea.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zheng, pays homage to your Majesty." Wei Zheng walked up to the emperor and bowed to him.
"Well, sit down." Emperor Hua waved his hand, motioning for Wei Zheng to sit down.
Wei Zheng sat down in front of the emperor, and the emperor poured Wei Zheng another cup of tea.
Wei Zheng was also stunned, and then took the tea handed over by the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you. You have worked hard in Chang'an these days. You must have suffered a lot in the dungeon." The emperor smiled.
Wei Zheng drank the tea, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Not really.
How to suffer, apart from not knowing the situation outside, there is nothing wrong with it. "
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Qizhou riot was caused by collusion between Qizhou officials and officials from Chang'an. The purpose was to get Your Majesty to go to Qizhou, and then they would attack Your Majesty in Qizhou..."
"Your Majesty, have you ever caught the murderer behind Chang'an? Which bastard is so bold?"
Wei Zheng wanted to know which bastard in Chang'an was responsible for designing such a vicious method against the emperor.
But after so many days, Wei Zheng heard nothing.
It was as if the emperor had forgotten this matter, which made Wei Zheng feel extremely strange. ??
This was a major matter involving the emperor's life and the stability of the Tang Dynasty, and it definitely should not have died down like this.
Even if that person has another identity, he still has to deal with what needs to be dealt with.
Otherwise, if someone else follows suit in the future, will the Tang Dynasty still be stable?
"No one was caught. Jiang Siye and General Tie have never seen the man's true face, so..."
"That person must be someone close to His Majesty." Wei Zheng interrupted the emperor with a sudden sentence.
Wei Zheng believed that if he were not the person closest to the emperor, the emperor would never say such a thing.
What do you mean you haven't seen that person's true face, so you can't catch that person?
There are only a few people who can collude with Qizhou officialdom, and none of them is in a high and powerful position.
Wei Zheng concluded that the emperor just didn't want to deal with that person.
There was nothing he hadn't discovered.
The emperor said nothing, which allowed Wei Zheng to confirm his suspicion.
"Originally, I was suspicious of Changsun Wuji. After all, he has had conflicts with the King of Han for a long time, and His Majesty has favored the King of Han many times. It is normal for him to have resentment in his heart."
"But yesterday I heard that Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, was feeling unwell and had closed the door.
Thank you. "
"So, that person is Li Xiaogong, right!" Wei Zheng said slowly, and even told the emperor his guess.
The emperor still did not speak, but continued to drink tea from his cup.
Seeing the emperor like this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Li Xiaogong is the emperor's cousin and one of the emperor's few relatives in the world.
He wanted to deal with the emperor and even seize the throne, but Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, the emperor did not answer his questions, and Wei Zheng was even more unsure whether his guess was true.
"Xuancheng, I thought about making Zhao Chen the crown prince a few days ago, but all the officials were against it. What do you think of this matter?" The emperor asked, but he asked about making Zhao Chen the crown prince.
Wei Zheng looked at the emperor. Of course he hoped that the emperor could make Zhao Chen the crown prince.
But it is too normal for hundreds of officials to object.
Zhao Chen was too strong, and even many officials were dealt with by Zhao Chen.
Officials were worried that Zhao Chen would become even more lawless after being established as prince.
Will officials like them still be alive by then?
"Your Majesty, do you plan to make the King of Han the crown prince now?" Wei Zheng asked the emperor.
The emperor nodded, of course he wanted to make Zhao Chen the prince.
In this way, I will have a legitimate reason to ask Zhao Chen to help handle government affairs in the future.
You wouldn't ask your grandfather and grandma to ask Zhao Chen for help every time.
The emperor was also fed up with begging for help.
He wanted a legitimate reason that Zhao Chen couldn't refuse.
"I have a solution here, but your Majesty can only make an agreement with the officials, and it is best not to inform the King of Han about this." Wei Zheng said to the emperor.
The emperor immediately became interested and quickly asked: "Xuancheng, what can you do? Tell me quickly!"
