If Li Zhiyun had never thought about seizing the legitimate son, then what Wei Zheng said was certainly good advice. But the problem was that everyone present knew that the King of Chu wanted to fight, so Wei Zheng's words sounded a bit funny.
The first person who couldn't hold it in was Xue Yuanjing. He chuckled, then pursed his lips, and held it back again.
Wei Zheng frowned. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. What's so funny about it? So he added: "If the king submits to the prince, there is no need to worry about the saint taking action against the king. Because the prince has a weak foundation in the army, he will not be affected by the king's joining.
And overwhelm the King of Qin.
At the same time, if the king is loyal to the prince, it will also make the saint feel more at ease, because with the king helping the prince, the King of Qin will not be able to completely suppress the prince. In this way, the court can maintain balance, and the king will not be affected."
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Xuancheng, everything you said is right, but there is one question that you have considered."
"What's the problem?"
"Why do you think that the person who wins in the end must be the prince?" Du Ruhui's voice suddenly rose a few notches, "You also know that now the King of Qin has great power, the Shangshu Ling of Daxingtai of Shaanxi Province is equivalent to the Lord of Guandong, and he is also a
Tiance Mansion was in charge of the Tang Dynasty's military forces.
With such information, what could the prince use to fight against the King of Qin?
I know, you may say that all this is the saint trying to balance the situation in the court. After a hundred years, the saint may take action against the King of Qin and support the prince.
But don’t forget, who is King Qin?
Will he watch the loss of power and sit back and wait for death?
You also said that the King of Qin might follow the old example of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. In this case, he also has ambitions in his heart. The King of Qin has been fighting with the Crown Prince for many years. How could he sit back and wait until the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future and then turn around and deal with him?
If you ask the king to support the prince now, you may be able to avoid the saint from weakening the king. But if King Qin succeeds in the future, what will happen to the king?
Have you considered these?"
After some questioning, Wei Zheng suddenly became speechless.
What Du Ruhui said is very insightful. It is absolutely impossible for the King of Qin to sit back and wait for the saint to weaken him in the future.
If King Qin really succeeded in the end, wouldn't King Chu who supported the prince in advance suffer disaster?
Thinking of this, Wei Zheng rarely felt that he had not thought carefully.
Xue Yuanjing even sarcastically said, "Some people always like to be smart."
Li Zhiyun coughed, interrupted Xue Yuanjing, and said kindly to Wei Zheng: "Xuancheng, I know your good intentions. It's just what Keming said, and you heard it. Now that King Qin is in a state of affairs, some things are not as simple as you think.
.”
Wei Zheng said such words without knowing that he had seized the throne. In fact, he had no second intention and was planning for him wholeheartedly.
It's a pity that he didn't think deeply enough.
Wei Zheng said: "Even so, the king cannot avoid the attraction of the prince and the king of Qin now. If the king does not help each other, he may even be hostile to the prince and the king of Qin at the same time."
Li Zhiyun nodded and said with emotion: "What you said makes sense, but I don't intend to do nothing."
"May I ask what the king should do?" Wei Zheng asked.
Li Zhiyun said calmly: "With the destruction of Wang Shichong, Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and others, there is no one who can stop me from unifying the Tang Dynasty. I plan to remove my armor and study political affairs in Chang'an honestly. I won't ask any more questions."
Other things.”
Wei Zheng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This is also a way."
In fact, this is what Li Zhiyun planned.
He has received news from Yang Gongren that Lao Li is planning to take action against Xiao Mian, but this time the coach will most likely be Li Xiaogong.
From this point of view, Lao Li obviously wants to make the factions in the army more evenly divided.
Now that the prince is so stimulated by his second brother, Li Zhiyun also plans to stay dormant temporarily. If he jumps out and leads an army to attack Xiao Mian this time and succeeds in the end, he will definitely be won over by the prince.
By then, he might not be able to reject the prince outright.
After all, the threat from King Qin is too great now, and the prince has to deal with it with all his strength.
After a pause, Wei Zheng asked again: "If Your Highness plans to remove his armor, where will King Chu's army go?"
This problem is very realistic. Unlike the King of Qi, Li Zhiyun was not assigned to guard a certain place by Li Yuan. If Li Zhiyun gradually relaxed his military power, he would probably lose the King of Chu's army.
After many battles, the King of Chu's army now has more than 80,000 men, all of whom are first-class elite troops.
It would be a shame to give up.
"Is there anything Xuancheng can do?" Du Ruhui asked.
In fact, they had already made preparations, and now they were just idle and asked one more question.
Wei Zheng frowned and thought hard, but he had no good solution for the moment.
Xue Yuanjing and Xue Shou looked at each other, and the former said deliberately: "Since the king has decided to remove his armor, it is better to lose the military power altogether. In this way, the prince and the king of Qin will never cause trouble to your highness again."
"No!" Wei Zheng flatly refused and said without any doubt: "If Your Highness loses military power at this time, it will be equivalent to handing over your life to the Crown Prince and the King of Qin. You will no longer have any initiative. You must not do this!"
Hearing these words, Li Zhiyun decided in his heart that Wei Zheng was a good brother and would consider him wholeheartedly.
Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing and Du Ruhui even looked satisfied.
Wei Zheng was able to consider the King of Chu in this way without knowing that the King of Chu was planning to seize the throne, which shows his loyalty.
Li Zhiyun reassured: "Xuancheng, don't worry, I have already made a plan in my mind, so don't worry. In addition, Xuancheng, I am really happy that you can say such things to me this time.
You also know the current situation in Chang'an. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the eldest and second brothers. If I can't go on an expedition in the future, I'm afraid it will delay your future.
In this way, I can recommend you to serve in Shannan Daoxingtai, and in this way, you can also have a bright future."
Li Zhiyun is now the Shannan Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling. It is still a trivial matter to recommend someone to go to the Shannan Dao war zone.
This is the test that Li Zhiyun gave Wei Zheng. If Wei Zheng can withstand it, Li Zhiyun will find an opportunity to meet Wei Zheng candidly in the future.
Du Ruhui and the other two people also understood, and they all fell silent, waiting for Wei Zheng's answer.
"When I was in poverty, Your Highness gave me a chance. Now His Highness's future is unclear. If Wei Zheng leaves, he will regret it for the rest of his life." Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I don't want to go to Shannan Road. I want to stay with Your Highness. Because
Your Highness will give you advice and help you overcome the danger."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun felt extremely happy.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly: "Okay, I am not wrong about the person. Xuancheng, if I have any inappropriate behavior in the future, Xuancheng will make it clear and I will humbly ask for advice."
"I don't dare." Wei Zheng held his hand and said, "I will do my best."
After a while, Wei Zheng left.
Du Ruhui cupped his hands in congratulations, "Congratulations, Your Highness."
"Congratulations, Your Highness." Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing also handed over their hands.
"Hahaha." Li Zhiyun laughed.
With Wei Zheng's current attitude, it will not be a problem at all to turn him into a confidant in the future.
Xue Yuanjing said: "Although Wei Zheng doesn't sound nice, he does have real materials. It's really gratifying that he can be so loyal."
Although Xue Yuanjing seemed to be unhappy with Wei Zheng, in fact it was because Xue Yuanjing did not know Wei Zheng's character beforehand.
Now that I see it clearly, I naturally won’t have any objections.
"Your Highness, Chu Suiliang can actually hint to him slowly." Xue Yuanjing said.
Li Zhiyun nodded and said, "You can remind him, but don't do it too hastily."
"I understand." Xue Yuanjing nodded.
People's hearts are separated from each other. What Li Zhiyun plans is related to his family and life, so he has to be cautious.
