Before discussing matters in the study, he had already told Li Zhen that no matter who came, he would have to wait. This was also customary, and it was the same whenever he discussed important matters with his confidants.
Li Zhen said awkwardly: "It's Wei Canjun asking for an audience."
Wei Zheng?
Li Zhiyun pondered for a while and said, "Let him come in."
"yes."
Although Wei Zheng is valued by him, he is not a true confidant, so there are many things that Wei Zheng cannot know.
In fact, not only Wei Zheng, but also Chu Suiliang, who had followed him for a long time, did not gain Li Zhiyun's absolute trust.
At present, there are only five people he can really trust, namely Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing, Duan Zhixuan, and Xie Shufang. The rest, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong and others, do not know the big plan in Li Zhiyun's heart.
Not long after, Wei Zheng walked into the study. When he saw Du Ruhui and others there, he felt a little uncomfortable because he felt that the King of Chu seemed to trust Du Ruhui and the others more. He usually came to them first when something happened.
It feels bad not to be taken seriously.
Although the King of Chu did indeed attach great importance to him, and his advice was listened to by the King of Chu. But when the level of attention was compared, it made people unhappy.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
"See Your Highness."
"Xuan Cheng is here, please sit down." Li Zhiyun smiled and asked him to sit down.
Xue Shou brought a soft cushion and asked Wei Zheng to sit on his knees.
Li Zhiyun asked: "Xuan Cheng came to see me, but there is something urgent?"
Wei Zheng nodded and said in a calm tone: "Your Highness, don't you realize that you are in dire straits right now?"
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and then asked calmly: "May I ask Xuancheng, where do you start with this matter?"
Wei Zheng has always been satisfied with Li Zhiyun's attitude. He accepts advice with an open mind and never blocks the way of speech.
But today, he is going to spray.
"Your Highness, His Highness the King of Qin has been granted the title of General Tiance and the Minister of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province. Half of the world and the power of military and horse power are in the hands of the King of Qin. Now, the King of Qin is not a prince yet, but he has a prince.
With all the power he has, isn’t His Highness worried that King Qin will follow the old example of Emperor Yang of Sui?”
"Nonsense!" Li Zhiyun glared and scolded: "I respect you as the king of the country, but what you said today is alarmist and alienating my brothers. What is your intention!"
It is true that he was shocked by Wei Zheng's keenness, but it was impossible for him to directly say it and tell Wei Zheng that I knew all this.
You have to put on what needs to be put on.
"In that case, Wei Zheng takes his leave." Wei Zheng was direct, clasping his hands into fists, and stood up to leave.
He didn't care if the King of Chu was pretending, he was just fulfilling his responsibility. Since the King of Chu didn't believe it, he naturally wouldn't waste more words and time.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun was caught off guard by Wei Zheng for a moment and didn't know how to retain him.
It was Du Ruhui who jumped out to smooth things over.
"Xuancheng stays."
Wei Zheng stopped.
Du Ruhui walked up to him and said with a smile: "Since Xuancheng is here, he must have a lot to say in his heart. You might as well finish your words and let His Highness decide."
"But His Highness doesn't seem to want to listen to me." Wei Zheng frowned.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun was so angry at Wei Zheng. If you just say something to alienate the royal brothers, how can I remain indifferent to you?
Is it possible to just say that I knew all this, but I deliberately pretended not to have seen it?
This Wei Zheng has really low emotional intelligence!
Xue Shou also shook his head, and when he was about to persuade Wei Zheng, Li Zhiyun stood up and walked over.
"Xuan Cheng stays. I just heard what you said, and I really can't take it calmly. The prince and the King of Qin are both my brothers, but you just told me that the King of Qin will follow the example of the former Sui Yang Emperor. How can I keep calm?
.The human heart is made of flesh, please understand Xuancheng."
Du Ruhui was secretly frightened. He almost believed what his king said.
At this time, Wei Zheng also realized that his words were indeed meant to provoke dissension, but he could not keep his face and give in.
So he said: "My subordinate's lack of consideration has caused His Highness to lose his position."
Li Zhiyun couldn't laugh or cry. Why did he feel arrogant after listening to Wei Zheng's words?
"Sir, since you have said it, you might as well finish it. Zhiyun will definitely listen carefully."
Afterwards, everyone returned to their seats again.
Wei Zheng said directly: "Your Highness should know that at the court, the King of Qin is fully suppressing the prince. Not to mention Chen Shuda and Dou Kang in the political hall, even in the army, the King of Qin also has an absolute advantage. Now he is the master of Shaanxi Province.
According to the decree of Shangshu, half of the Tang Dynasty was in the hands of the King of Qin.
Over time, the ambition of King Qin exploded and he launched an attack on the crown prince's position. Wouldn't he be the second Emperor Yang of Sui?"
Xue Yuanjing said: "Even if what you say makes sense, this is a matter between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin. What does it have to do with the King?"
"Hmph!" Wei Zheng sneered: "You also know history. How many heirlooms in history have affected unrelated princes?"
Speaking of which, Li Zhiyun naturally couldn't continue to pretend to be ignorant.
"Xuancheng, I have actually noticed what you said. But you should understand that I am just a concubine. Although I am valued by my father, I can't say anything after all. If the eldest brother and the second brother really want to fight, just
I'm afraid I can't stop it.
What's more, General Tiance and Shangshuling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province were all killed by my second brother with one blow and one shot, and they were also conferred by my father himself. What can you do to me?"
Wei Zheng did not answer his question, but asked: "If it is the King of Qin or the Crown Prince, and they try to win over the King, how will the King respond?"
Li Zhiyun said: "I will naturally refuse."
"That's it." Wei Zheng's tone was solemn and teasing.
Du Ruhui found it funny and asked, "In Xuancheng's opinion, what should we do?"
Li Zhiyun also pricked up his ears to listen to Wei Zheng's views.
In Li Zhiyun's view, this problem is not a problem at all. He has already secretly won the heir, so naturally he will not care whether to choose the 'King of Qin' or the 'Prince'.
However, he was also pretending at this time. If Wei Zheng can really say something, he might as well adopt it.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, you must not get close to King Qin."
"What do you mean, you want me to surrender to the crown prince?" Li Zhiyun had a playful smile on his lips.
"I can only submit to the crown prince." Wei Zheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being arrogant. The reason why King Qin is today is because of the sage. The sage cultivated King Qin to check and balance the East Palace. Now King Qin has no title and has reached the top.
, if the king gets close to King Qin at this time, the balance between Tiance Mansion and the East Palace will be destroyed.
And this is definitely not what the Saint wants to see. The King of Qin has a strong foundation in the army, and His Highness is also the second person in the army of the Tang Dynasty. If His Highness and the King of Qin join forces, the Saint will be uneasy. At that time, the Saint will most likely choose to weaken the King.
Continue to let the King of Qin and the Prince check and balance."
To be fair, what Wei Zheng said makes sense.
Xue Shou said: "In this case, your Majesty, we can completely help each other."
"In that case, your Majesty will become a thorn in the side of the Crown Prince and the King of Qin." Wei Zheng said coldly: "Perhaps when their victory is not decided, Your Majesty can live in peace, but once they decide the winner, Your Majesty's previous
To waver and not rely on each other will make them hold grudges."
Xue Shou nodded, feeling that it actually made sense for Wei Zheng to say such a thing without knowing anything.
