Chapter 288: When will you become the emperor, Prince?

The fact that the order to go out many families was a bad habit formed in the early Tang Dynasty and a historical legacy. Although Li Yuan was the founding emperor, the court of Li Tang was not created by Li Yuan with all his strength. Li Yuan had Li Yuan's team, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all had their own teams.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng's crown prince order, Li Yuanji and Li Shimin's princely sect and Li Yuan's imperial edict had the same legal effect. Of course, it caused many troubles. For example, in the position of Xianzhou, Li Jiancheng appointed Chen Xin from Luoyang as the general manager of Xianzhou, Li Yuanji appointed Xue Jiayu from Hedong as the general manager, and Qin King Li Shimin appointed Gao Yanlu from Shandong, and his wife, uncle Gao Shilian's nephew Gao Yanlu was the general manager. In the end, the three parties were all in charge, official custody, prosecutor, and red letters.

Finally, the lawsuit was fought in front of the imperial court, and Li Yuan also shared with Xi Ni, Chen Xin appointed by Li Jiancheng as the general manager of Xianzhou, Xue Jiayu appointed by King Li Yuanji of Qi as the deputy general manager, and Gao Yanlu governor of Xianzhou appointed by Li Shimin.

In fact, this problem has not solved the problem of the three-party appointed chief managers who are not giving in to each other, often quarrel, and endless battles of verbalism, and many problems arise.

In fact, the Xianzhou phenomenon is not an isolated case. There are many such problems. Not to mention that the three parties have seized an official position, sometimes, Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, even Li Shimin and Li Xiuning appointed an official position at the same time, which would be even more lively.

With more officials, things get worse and worse.

Wei Zheng proposed to Li Jiancheng that he would change this chaos of allowing many families to go out. Chen Ying also mentioned it, and Wang Gui also mentioned it, including Xu Shimo, but for many reasons, Li Jiancheng's plan has not been implemented.

Now, even Fang Xuanling raised this issue, and Li Jiancheng had to think carefully.

Seeing Li Jiancheng hesitating, Wei Ting glared at Fang Xuanling angrily, then walked to Li Jiancheng and bowed, "Your Highness, Fang Xuanling is so ridiculous. These three things will make His Highness cut off his own minions. Your Highness must not be hit by Fang Xuanling's trick."

Wei Ting also winked at Xu Shimo. Xu Shimo and Wei Ting had a good personal relationship. Of course, once the Red Lie of the East Palace was abolished, Xu Shimo, the clerk of the East Palace, would be equivalent to the Secretariat of the Secretariat in the court. If this power abolishes, his rights will be the greatest loss.

Of course, as the saying goes, if the needle doesn’t hurt anyone’s flesh if it doesn’t hurt.

Xu Shimo had no choice but to come out and said: "Fang Xuanling tricked His Highness into slapping himself in order to open his eyes for the remnants of the Qin Prince's Mansion."

Fang Xuanling lay on the table as if no one was around, recording everyone's words.

Wei Zheng looked at the nose with his eyes and the nose with his heart, just like an old monk entering into meditation.

Li Jiancheng was dizzy and rubbed his temples in pain by everyone. After a while, Li Jiancheng slowly looked up, but found that Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and Xu Jingzong were silent.

Li Jiancheng asked, "What about you, what are your opinions?"

Xu Jingzong was about to speak, but Wei Zheng grabbed his sleeve.

Xu Jingzong frowned, and Wei Zheng shook his head at him.

Xu Jingzong did not open his mouth or make no sound.

Wei Zheng then stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, tomorrow will be the last time Wude has been doing regular court in the sixth year. Why not put these three things into the court?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "It's so good!"

The Eastern Palace members began to scatter away from Xiande Hall in groups of three or three.

Xu Jingzong and Wei Zheng fell at the end.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xu Jingzong grabbed Wei Zheng and said, "Xuancheng, why didn't you let me speak just now?"

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "For such suggestions, old ministers like Fang Xuanling, you and me, can never mention them. Whoever proposes them will be the target of public criticism. They must be hated to death, and will make Your Highness doubt our loyalty."

Xu Jingzong suddenly realized.

Wei Zheng said word by word: "Even if it is correct, it cannot be mentioned. This is due to his position."

Xu Jingzong nodded heavily and said, "What about Fang Xuanling's three suggestions?"

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "I know now why the King of Qin values ​​this person so much? Fang Xuanling is indeed well-known. He is dedicated to the country and does everything, and is inferior to Xuanling!"

When Li Jiancheng was about to go back, Wei Ting and Xu Shimo intercepted Li Jiancheng.

Wei Ting looked at Li Jiancheng earnestly and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, you must not fall into Fang Xuanling's plan."

"Yes, Fang Xuanling was sinister!" Xu Shimo nodded anxiously and agreed.

Seeing that Wang Gui had not left yet, Li Jiancheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shujie, what do you think?"

Wang Gui slowly cleaned up the things around him and said slowly: "The three things Fang Xuanling said are all state affairs. I think that since they are state affairs, your highness may as well, so I will listen to the opinions of the court and the officials!"

After Wang Gui said that, he bowed to Li Jiancheng and left leisurely.

Li Jiancheng watched Wang Gui walk away in shock.

Wei Ting and Xu Shimo chattered around again.

Li Jiancheng had no choice but to escape by urinating.

But Wei Ting tried to persuade Li Jiancheng to follow Li Jiancheng. Seeing Li Jiancheng enter the East Palace and following the bathroom set up in Chen Ying's mansion, Wei Ting had to wait outside the door in embarrassment.

Li Jiancheng sat on the toilet, staring out the window alone in a daze.

Li Jiancheng murmured to himself in distress: "This is clearly a match for me... I have said it... I can't let him laugh at me anyway..."

Li Jiancheng shouted unwillingly, holding his head in great pain.

After Li Jiancheng finished the convenience, he got up and walked out of the bathroom. Seeing Wei Ting and Xu Shimo leave, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Li Jiancheng had just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Wei Ting and Xu Shimo appearing in the corner corridor talking and laughing.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly turned around and ran towards the warm pavilion where Zheng Guanyin was.

Wei Ting is no one else to force Li Jiancheng to this point.

Walking to the corridor of the warm pavilion, Li Jiancheng heard the voice of the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin scolding Li Chengdao.

"I just knew how to play crazy, have you finished your schoolwork today?"

Li Chengdao said timidly: "No!"

Zheng Guanyin said: "Stretch out your hand!"

"Paipa..." Then, Li Jiancheng heard the sound of a ruler thug. Although it only hit Li Chengdao's palm, it hurt Li Jiancheng's heart.

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said unhappily: "Guanyin!"

After a while, Zheng Guanyin walked over with Li Chengdao's hand.

She bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "I have seen Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengdao also bowed in a regular manner: "I have met my father!"

Li Jiancheng's eyes fell on Li Chengdao's hands that were beaten red and swollen, and said in a warm voice: "He is still young, don't be too restrictive of him."

Zheng Guanyin lowered her head, but said firmly: "Your Highness, jade cannot be made into a weapon without being carved! There are also people saying that it is older at the age of three and older at the age of seven. Although Chengdao is young, he is a royal blood Yin. As his biological mother, I naturally have no reason to indulge it."

Li Jiancheng was stunned.

Li Chengdao said with a sad face: "If my father has nothing else, my son will take his leave!"

After Li Chengdao left, Li Jiancheng lay angrily on the soft couch in the warm room.

Zheng Guanyin shook her head lightly, turned sideways, pulled down Li Jiancheng's arm, pressed her hands on Li Jiancheng's temple, and gently sootheed.

Zheng Guanyin whispered: "What's wrong with Your Highness?"

Li Jiancheng told Zheng Guanyin the three discussions of Wei Ting and Xu Shimozhi and Fang Xuanling.

Zheng Guanyin thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, if you don't understand, why not ask the person who came up with the idea? What is the reason for those three suggestions?"

Li Jiancheng hummed comfortably, closed his eyes and murmured: "I just don't want to lower his head in front of that sour master."

Zheng Guanyin curled her lips and said with a smile: "Don't you want to swear to be a saint? Being a saint and respecting the wise and the inferior is the minimum requirement..."

Zheng Guanyin educated Li Jiancheng word by word: "If you don't understand, you don't understand. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. If you don't understand, you have to pretend to understand. That is really embarrassing. If you can't let go of this posture and don't bet on your appointment with Fang Xuanling, you will definitely lose.

Li Jiancheng opened his eyes, was stunned for a moment, stood up, put on his clothes without saying a word, and walked out of the warm cabinet.

Wei Ting came in panic and bowed to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Highness, General Chen and Princess Pingyang are here!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Come in quickly!"

Li Jiancheng did not regard Chen Ying as a dependent of the Eastern Palace at all. Not only did he open the door of the Eastern Palace, but he also welcomed the rituals and music, and ceremonials.

Chen Ying looked at the East Palace with lights and decorations, and was blowing and beating, as if welcoming the foreign head of state. Looking at this posture, Chen Ying was flattered.

Li Jiancheng personally greeted him, and this courtesy made Chen Ying not know what to say.

In fact, Li Jiancheng was also afraid of being bothered by Wei Ting and Xu Shimo, so he had to take this move to avoid Wei Ting's disturbance.

After finally reaching the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, which was only more than 500 steps short, Chen Ying was so nervous that he was sweating all over, and felt even more tired than going to the Grand Court.

Waiting for Li Jiancheng to deliberately let Wei Ting and Xu Shimo leave with a stern face, Li Jiancheng then told Chen Ying about Fang Xuanling's three-strategic proposal and asked Chen Ying what to do?

Seeing Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying talking about the serious matter, Li Xiuning yawned and said, "I'll go find my sister-in-law, you guys talk first!"

Li Jiancheng said: "Fang Xuanling should raise these three conditions?"

Chen Ying did not answer this question directly, but instead changed the question: "When will your Highness ascend to the throne and become the emperor?

Li Jiancheng was stunned and opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't know what to say.

Chen Ying said solemnly: "After Your Highness became the emperor, General Tiance and Hedongdao Daxingtai, who will be the position of Shangshuling?"

Li Jiancheng was in a panic and didn't know how to answer.

Chen Ying said: "General Tiance's Mansion is in charge of the country's conquests. Where will the Ministry of War and the Twelve Guards be placed? Once there is a war, will the army be followed by the court or the Tiance's Mansion? Hedongdao Daxingtai, with military and political power in his own hands, and it is like separatist. It is actually a country in the country. Don't forget that the current lord of the Tang Dynasty is no longer Your Majesty or the King of Qin, but yourself."

Chen Ying sneered and stared at Li Jiancheng who was at a loss.

Li Jiancheng continued to look down and asked, "Fang Xuanling insisted on pardoning the old people of the Qin Prince's Mansion. Do you have selfish intentions?"

Chen Ying smiled and said, "If you become the emperor, who is the emperor of the Qin Palace? Or the Eastern Palace? Or the Emperor of the Qi Palace? Or the Emperor of the world?"

Chen Ying suddenly stood up with a stern expression, pointed at Li Jiancheng with a big thorn and said, "Your Highness, what is the emperor?"
