"Your Majesty, the court has been in chaos for a long time, and the marriage with the barbarians should be put to an end." Tang Qinghe said aloud, ignoring the actions of Emperor Qianwen and Xingxing.
"End it? How do you think Zongzheng will end it?" There was a smile on Emperor Qianwen's lips, but no matter how you look at it, this smile has a sarcastic meaning. Could this Tang Qinghe finally couldn't help but point fingers at state affairs? ?
Tang Qinghe still didn't take it seriously and continued to say, "The barbarians are invading the border and threatening the peace of Daqian. Your Majesty should find a way to solve the problem. If you want to stop the war or agree to the barbarians' request for a marriage, then Or disagree with their demands, send reinforcements, and teach the barbarians a lesson. Always do something, otherwise, the court will be in chaos, and if this continues, the foundation of the country will be shaken."
Tang Qinghe put forward his own suggestions as if he was thinking about Da Qian. Then he did not forget to add, "Now the chaos in the court has caused dissatisfaction among the clan members. If this continues, I am afraid that I will suppress him." If they don't stop, they will come to His Majesty one by one to ask for an explanation."
Zong Zheng's words made Emperor Qianwen jump in surprise. Of course, he knew what a chaotic scene it would be if all the Tang people came to find him. At this time, under the pressure from inside and outside, I am afraid that the situation will only change. It will be more unstable.
Speaking of which, those Tang people are not like ministers who only submit memorials. Some of them who are older and more senior dare to point at the tip of their noses and scold them. Regardless of whether he is an emperor, those people don't dare. Isn't he still a person with Tang syndrome? Isn't he still a descendant of Tang syndrome?
In this case, those who are accustomed to relying on their elders and selling them out will not be polite to him. This may be the biggest difference between the successor emperor and the founder of the country.
In history, why were the founding kings able to usher in the Qing Ming Dynasty, and many people even became wise kings who conquered the world on horseback and ruled the world on horseback and were passed down through the ages? One of the biggest advantages is that they have no constraints on what they do.
They fought hard to conquer the country. In this process, I don’t know how many people have to die before we can have a peaceful world. Because they killed more people, there were naturally more people who died, so that many of the founding kings had already died when they became emperors. Since we no longer have any relatives, we naturally don’t need to look at other people’s faces when doing things. We can also make some rules at will, which are called ancestral precepts in history.
In addition, their descendants are far behind. They inherited the throne, and the royal family always likes to spread its branches and leaves. It seems that only in this way can it last for thousands of years. In this way, there are so many elders and brothers. Young hair, no matter who becomes the emperor, others will be dissatisfied and like to point fingers.
The same is true for Daqian today. The Tang clan is also prosperous. Not to mention some of Emperor Qianwen's brothers who don't like him, such as King Zhong and Zongzheng, and several royal families with the prefix Guang in the previous generation. Uncle Wang also had people who disliked Tang Qingshan, and it seemed that Kang Wang Tang Du, Wei Wang Tangzhuang, Min Wang Tang Pang and Yong Wang Tang Lu were among the representatives.
They are a little older, and because Tang Qingshan is suspicious of everything, they have long been stripped of the power to lead troops. They sit safely in Daliang City with an old prince of the royal family. But the so-called centipede insect is dead but not stiff. They still have some influence in Daqian.
The reason why he usually doesn't talk is because Emperor Qianwen can control the overall situation. Once they find an opportunity and join forces to take action, Emperor Qianwen cannot ignore it, and there is even a possibility of being overthrown.
The reason why Zongzheng was able to secure his position as the chief elder of the royal family was simply because he had the support of these old princes. This time he openly mentioned these old princes, and Emperor Qianwen had to pay attention to it.
"Okay, I know about this matter, and there will be a result soon." Emperor Qianwen felt the pressure. Although his reply was still calm, his heart could no longer be calm.
"In this case, I will wait for His Majesty's decision." Zong Zheng stood up. He had already said everything he should have said. Presumably the pressure from the royal family would make Emperor Qianwen do something. In that case, wouldn't his opportunity come? .
Tang Qinghe did still have the idea of spying on the throne, but the political situation in Daqian was too stable, which prevented him from finding opportunities to take action. Only when the political situation was chaotic, could he find opportunities and take over. You replace it.
It is impossible to fish in troubled waters in calm waters.
Zongzheng left, and Emperor Qianwen fell into deep thought. He originally planned to use time to dilute everything, but now it seems that this idea is difficult to realize. Is it really necessary to send troops to the barbarians?
As for handing over the fifth princess Tang Min for marriage, Emperor Qianwen might agree to this point, but handing over Shen Ao is completely impossible. Not to mention that Shen Ao is here, who can help replenish the national inventory. Even if he really made friends, Aoxue wouldn't be able to pass that test.
All that's left is to fight.
Soldiers are a dangerous weapon, and they are also a sharp weapon for the country. Once used, they will inevitably solve everything with overwhelming force. If the problem cannot be solved quickly, the problem will only become bigger and bigger as time goes by, and eventually it will lead to various potential consequences. Problems arise. If this is really the case, let alone leading Daqian to glory, it is a matter of two things whether it can stabilize the situation of the government.
Sending troops cannot guarantee victory in a short time.
Without sending troops, the court situation will become more and more complicated. Once several old princes are involved, what changes will occur, what problems will arise, can he cope with it, and what price will he have to pay? Emperor Wen also had no bottom in his heart.
Dilemma is the worst choice. Emperor Qianwen frowned at this moment, looking worried. Looking at Yan Fu from the side, he felt very distressed for him, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Duke Zhongguo to come?" Ask him, he always has a lot of ideas, maybe he has a way to solve the problem?"
"He? He's just a cucumber. He may be a little clever, but this involves national affairs and the war between two countries. What can he do?" Emperor Qianwen shook his head after hearing this. Shen Ao was only seventeen years old. Although history There are many young and promising people among them, but when it comes to border wars, he doesn't think Shen Ao can have any good ideas.
"It doesn't hurt to give it a try. Originally, this matter was caused by Duke Zhongguo, wasn't it? There is no reason for His Majesty to be in trouble here, but he is enjoying himself happily on the sidelines." Yan Fu continued to urge, but he did not think that Shen There was nothing Ao could do, but he didn't want to see His Majesty in trouble, so he insisted on his opinion in order to divert attention.
"Huh? That's right. That being the case, let's announce Duke Zhong's entry into the palace." Emperor Qianwen was convinced by Yan Fu's statement. He thought that he really couldn't let Shen Ao be as happy and carefree as if nothing happened, even if he asked no questions Whatever you can do, you can also take the opportunity to talk about your difficulties and let the other person know how much you have paid for him.
"No." Yan Fu hurriedly agreed, and then sent someone out of the palace to deliver the order.
Zong Zheng came and left quickly, but Emperor Qianwen remembered Shen Ao, who had been forgotten. Shen Ao, who was busy in the Guochanglong workshop, did not show the slightest surprise after receiving the imperial edict. Instead, he changed his mind. Wearing a purple robe and official clothes, he headed towards the palace.
The weather in Daliang City is already feeling hot in May, especially at noon. When the hot wind blows, the hot tears will be shed. Putting on the official robes, it really makes people sweat. It won't work unless I get out.
Fortunately, Shen Ao's official clothes were different from those of ordinary people. They were all made of fine silk, which was much cooler. When he came to the Yangxin Hall, what he saw was wearing a dragon robe, with hot sweat oozing from his forehead. Emperor Qianwen.
Emperor Qianwen only had an endless desire for power, but did not have much demand in other aspects. Even the material of the dragon robe on his body was not all made of fine silk, and the ventilation was poor. In addition, he was in an impetuous mood and his face was hot and sweaty. Emergence is nothing new.
"I am loyal to you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty." As soon as he entered the palace, Shen Ao bowed to Emperor Qianwen in a formal manner.
Seventeen-year-old Shen Ao was already over six feet tall (one foot equals 30.7cm today), which is often said to be a tall man of 1.8 meters in later generations. Because he ate well and slept soundly, he was still a martial arts practitioner. The figure is also very strong.
Different from the burly figure, Shen Ao's figure looks very standard, and there is a sense of elegance in his elegance. Just from the appearance, he is no different from an adult man. In addition to his handsome appearance, it is completely said that he is a talented person. no problem.
Shen Ao raised his head and looked into Emperor Qianwen's eyes. When he saw it, he couldn't help but nod and praise, "Loyal Lord, the son of Qilin!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty." Shen Ao cupped his fists in salute, and then stood up straight again. There was no trace of pride on his face, just like an old man with deep concentration.
Shen Ao's behavior of not being arrogant or arrogant made Emperor Qianwen happy and confirmed his decision not to push him out and marry the barbarians. "Lord Zhongguo, have you ever heard of the barbarians invading our border? "
"I heard about it." Shen Ao answered truthfully. How could he not know about matters involving him? Not only did he know, but he also knew more than other ministers. He also knew about Zong Zheng's visit to the palace. As you know, this is naturally because the intelligence department under his command has played a role. If Shen Ao is willing to spend a lot of money, he can quickly get information about anything that is not so secret in Daliang City if Shen Ao wants to.
"Yes, but I wonder what Duke Zhongguo thinks?" Emperor Qianwen showed great interest, wanting to see how Shen Ao would answer.
Shen Ao was already prepared for this problem. Perhaps it was because people from later generations were used to the various experiences of the Han people, which made him clearly understand that no matter how weak the Han people were at a certain period of time, they never People can conquer them, but the Han people will win in the end.
