"Hmph, he is not a Hu but looks like a Hu. It really does not disgrace the Xianbei blood in him." Dugu Zhen took the fishing rod and sat on the grass to fish, with a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Dugu Sheng said: "It's really surprising. When I heard the news, I couldn't believe that this was done by the majestic King Qi."
"Hey." Dugu Zhen smiled sarcastically and said, "The last King Qi did the same thing. This title is really poisonous."
The previous one, Dugu Sheng, was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of Yang Xun, the former king of Sui and Qi.
Dugu Sheng couldn't help but smile, "Master, when Yang Jian had an affair with Yuan's wife and it was exposed, he actually told Yang Guang that Yuan's wife resembled his late wife Wei Shi, and he only had an affair because of his beloved wife. I don't know this Tang Qi
What reason did the king use to quibble?"
Yang Jian's wife Wei Shi died early, and he had an affair with Wei Shi's sister, the girl married to Yuan Shi, and gave birth to a daughter.
Thinking about it carefully, Dugu Sheng felt that what the head of the family said was right. The title of King of Qi was indeed a bit poisonous. In the two generations of King of Qi, the woman who had an affair was actually from the same clan as his wife.
Chen Zhengde was born in the south of the Yangtze River, his wife was from the Xiao family in Jiangzuo, and the concubine of King Li Yuanji of Qi was also the daughter of the Xiao family in Jiangzuo.
History has come full circle and come back.
"It doesn't matter what the reason is. Li Yuanji was demoted to guard Taiyuan. Maybe it's because Li Yuan was trying to calm things down." Dugu shook his fishing rod and showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Li Yuan does protect his heirs." Dugu Sheng thought about it. The last time Li Yuanji was defeated, Li Yuan also chose to save Li Yuanji.
Dugu Zhen said: "In fact, he is not protecting his heirs, he is more guarding against us. In the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang rejected the clan, resulting in military power falling into the hands of foreigners, such as Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhuaji, Yang Xuangan, and even Li Yuan. Now it is our turn.
Now that he has become emperor, he will naturally have to learn a lesson. No matter how incompetent Li Yuanji is, he is still a member of the royal family. Putting military power in his hands will make Li Yuan feel more at ease than putting it in our hands."
"But can Li Yuanji stop Liu Wuzhou?" Dugu Sheng said: "I got the news that Liu Wuzhou accepted the Turkic canonization and is now Dingyang Khan."
"Aren't there also Li Shimin and Li Zhiyun?" Dugu Zhen said: "No matter how badly Li Yuanji fights, there must be someone behind him to tell him the truth. That's why Li Yuan has no scruples."
Dugu Sheng said in confusion: "Master, it goes without saying that King Qin is talented. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows this, but King Chu doesn't seem to be that outstanding, right?"
"Haha." Dugu Zhen said lightly: "Li Zhiyun is not that simple. Capturing Qu Tutong and conquering Qinzhou is enough to prove that he is not a mediocre person."
Regarding these two points, Dugu Sheng did not agree very much.
"Master, the King of Chu was able to capture Qu Tutong alive only because Chang'an was surrounded by the Tang army at that time. Qu Tutong was in a dead end and had no choice but to surrender. As for conquering Qinzhou, wasn't that done by King Changping?"
Dugu Zhen suddenly felt a little tired. He found that the younger generations of the family really needed to keep their eyes open and take a good look at government affairs and observe people.
"What ability does a guy like Li Shuliang have to conquer Qinzhou?" Dugu Zhen said playfully: "The Western Qin battle report submitted mentioned that it was Xue Ju's coffin that King Chu intercepted at Huating. This is very interesting.
, doesn’t Li Zhiyun know the credit for conquering Qinzhou? Why did he stay in Huating and give up this credit to Li Shuliang, Chai Shao and others? Have you ever thought about this little thing? "
Dugu Sheng swallowed and shook his head. Although he had indeed read the battle report of Xi Qin, he did not pay attention to such details. Now that the family head said this, he felt that Li Zhiyun might really not be simple.
Dugu Zhen shifted his gaze and landed on the water, his eyes reflecting the sparkling water.
"This Li Zhiyun is a smart man."
"Want to pay attention to him?"
"No need." Dugu Zhen said: "If he continues to be like this, there is no point paying attention to him. Just wait and see what happens."
Dugu Sheng nodded, and then whispered: "Master, this time Huai'en and King Qin join forces, the prince may be very wary of us."
"It doesn't matter. If the prince abandons us, he is destined to be wary of us. Now, his opponent is not the Dugu family, so there is no need to worry about it."
"yes."
After Li Yuanji left Chang'an, everything seemed to have returned to calm, but it seemed that there was no calm at all.
Since Chen Shuda became the prime minister, the Zhengshi Hall has become more lively. Every time there is a small court meeting in the Zhengshi Hall, either the prince or the King of Qin will have a black face. Anyway, there is always one with a bad face.
As for Chu King Li Zhiyun, he pretends to be a clay bodhisattva most of the time.
To be honest, the conflict between the Crown Prince and the King of Qin is not very big. Their current conflicts are mainly focused on political opinions and have not extended to private life.
The prince's opinion is generally this. At present, the Tang Dynasty needs to cultivate itself and cannot go to war everywhere. It should minimize foreign wars and wait for the opportunity to move when the national power becomes stronger.
King Qin felt that this was not possible, because the world was in chaos now, and if he was slow, he would be hindered everywhere. He advocated aggressive foreign affairs.
Li Yuan was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, he felt that the prince was right. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, food, fodder, and armor were all obtained from the Guanlong family. This was equivalent to being controlled by others. If the Tang Dynasty could gradually recover, then it could slowly get rid of the Guanlong family.
The family's influence on grain production was conducive to consolidating the rule of the Tang Dynasty.
On the other hand, he felt that the King of Qin was right. Now that the world is in chaos, he should attack everywhere, expand his territory, and prepare to unify the world.
Therefore, Li Yuan was wavering in the middle.
"King Chu, what do you think?" Li Yuan looked at Li Zhiyun.
The political hall is a small room. Li Yuan is sitting in the center, leaning against Yanghe. A beam of light falls on him. To his left and right are the six prime ministers, the prince, the king of Qin and the king of Chu.
Therefore, when Li Yuan opened his mouth, everyone heard clearly and turned to look at Li Zhiyun.
The six prime ministers basically knew that the King of Chu was paddling water every day in Xiaochao, so they didn't expect the King of Chu to say anything.
Li Zhiyun said to himself that my opportunity has finally come.
"Father, what the two royal brothers said makes sense."
Hearing this sentence, Pei Ji secretly sneered, lowered his head and fiddled with the memorial. He had no hope for the King of Chu.
Xiao Yu, Liu Wenjing, Chen Shuda, Dou Wei, Dou Kang and others all maintained basic courtesy and looked at Li Zhiyun blankly.
Even Li Yuan showed some dissatisfaction on his face.
He asked Li Zhiyun to be a counselor in government affairs, hoping that he could give some opinions and not just be a passerby who agreed every time. This was not the result he wanted.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said: "However, Erchen feels that what the second brother said is more in line with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty."
Alas alas?
The King of Chu actually gave the right answer?
Everyone found it incredible, and Pei Ji even pricked up his ears to listen.
A smile appeared on Li Shimin's lips.
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly.
During this period of time, although the King of Chu did not express his preference for anyone, it was good for him to remain a simpleton who had nothing to do with the world. At least he did not go against himself.
What's going on today?
Li Yuan said with great interest: "Please tell me in detail."
