Chapter 323 Subduing others without fighting is truly a god!
Just as the sound of swaying sticks came from the palace of King Yong, Ming Chongyan also brought the inner guard of plum blossoms and officially entered Luoyang City.

Chang'an didn't hide anything. All the officials got the news through various channels, and the atmosphere in the city really changed.

No matter how powerful the prince is in power, it is impossible for him to be united and have no opponents.

In fact, many aristocratic families in the Guan Dynasty were very reluctant to come to Luoyang. Yang Zhirou, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family, was sent to inner prison for a felony, so he was even more vigilant;

The Gong family has been prominent in Luoyang for decades, once it declines, the relationship network it originally formed is also deeply disturbed, for fear of expanding the scope of attack;

There are also those who do not recognize Jingzhao Wei's family as the No. [-] family on the list, and those who do not recognize the prince's re-appointment of the North Gate Bachelor from a poor family, and those who have not been assigned a house;
Even no matter what period, there are officials who want to take the lead, lest the current situation will not be chaotic, and they will not be able to fish in troubled waters...

These contradictions that were originally hidden under the current situation were aroused, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Many eyes looked at Li Xian's mansion, expecting another hill to rise slowly.

……

Purple Palace.

East Palace.

The crown princess took Wan'er's little hand and walked into the palace.

Her belly is already showing, but because she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, her movements are still very neat.

When the prince saw him, he hurried up to meet him: "Go slowly, be more careful..."

The princess reached out and touched Fulang's face, smoothing his frowning: "I'm fine, but you should rest, don't be too tired, the most important thing is to take care of your body!"

The prince nodded slightly, and sighed sincerely: "A good body is really needed to govern the country."

After taking office, he realized how many things he had to deal with every day, and even more realized the terrifying workload of Empress Wu.

Today, Sun Simiao took good care of him, took Qianjin Powder every day, combined with a small amount of exercise, coupled with his revenge, his wife was pregnant, and the state was in power, he was in a good mood. It was much better before.

Even so, a large amount of power is still allocated to the officials, and government affairs can be barely completed every day. In comparison, the workload of Empress Wu is at least three times that of him.

The princess saw him working so hard, and said distressedly: "It's a pity that I don't know these things, so I can't help you."

The prince said: "These government affairs should not be shared by the harem, how can I blame you?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that his words were disrespectful to his father, so the prince changed the subject again and looked at Wan'er: "How is Wan'er's calligraphy practiced?"

Wan'er replied: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess treats me well, and I can often read old books and memorials. There are many masters of contemporary calligraphy in it. Your Majesty's and His Highness's autographs are all exquisite in law, and I have benefited a lot!"

The prince smiled: "Wan'er is really hardworking, write it for me?"

Wan'er came to the case and wrote a piece of calligraphy. The handwriting really lost a lot of its immaturity, with a broad pattern and vertical and horizontal strokes.

Everyone's demeanor can't be talked about, but at her young age, it is already rare.

The prince praised: "Your grandfather, Shangguan's servant, when he compiled "Yaoshan Yucai" for me, I respected his literary talents. Today, seeing the talent of Shangguan's young lady, I miss and admire him even more!"

Wan'er showed joy: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

She has recently washed away her sins and restored her surname, but she has encountered some obstacles. After all, Ye Ting's identity is sensitive, Yu Shitai is watching her because she is not compatible with etiquette, and the crown prince is called so, even if she speaks in person, she also wants to rectify her Shangguan family name , His Highness really has nothing to say to the people around him.

Wan'er is a pistachio, and she quickly coaxed the prince and princess to be happy, and laughter came from the hall.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't undo the bad news that followed.

When the officials from the East Palace and the scholars from the North Gate entered the palace one after another, the prince knew that something serious must have happened, but after he really understood the purpose of the Meihua inner guard, he couldn't help being stunned: "Bonus to the sixth younger brother, at this time?"

The faces of the officials were ugly. Those who can stand here are all the prince's confidantes and team members, including the six-member Beimen bachelor group.

They know very well how difficult it is to create a relatively stable situation, especially during the disaster, everyone has put in a lot of effort.

But it is very simple to destroy, as long as there is a political struggle, the ministers will immediately ignore the practical affairs and fall into endless internal strife.

The atmosphere in the hall became dignified. After a moment of silence, Prince Xima Wang Renbiao and Beimen scholar Miao Shenke stepped forward at the same time: "Your Highness, please come to discuss the matter!"

Hearing Master's name, Wan'er's eyes flickered slightly, but she felt a little unwilling in her heart.

She has been fascinated by what she has heard and seen recently, and she has her own little understanding of the situation. This kind of brotherly dispute is the most difficult to handle, and it is no good to win, but it will cause trouble for the upper body.

Therefore, she leaned against the crown prince, acting as a little transparent, with her dark and bright eyes rolling around, thinking of any way to relieve the crown prince's worries without embarrassing the master.

Thinking of his parents treating him like this, the prince couldn't help sighing, but shook his head: "How can the inner guard be used to fight between brothers? Yuan Fang is also investigating a major case, so don't bother him with this matter!"

Wang Renbiao was in a hurry: "Your Highness, we will not move now. If King Yong becomes popular, the two factions of the court and China will fight each other, and there will be endless troubles!"

Miao Shenke didn't dare to speak so directly, but he also said: "His Royal Highness needs to make a decision early, so as not to damage the friendship between brothers..."

The prince knew that what they said was not unreasonable, he pressed the center of his brows, and his head ached.

Seeing that the prince was unable to make a decision, all the ministers advised him one after another.

To sum up, it is still the idea of ​​first strike first.

It is necessary to suppress the limelight of King Yong and Li Xian from the very beginning, and not allow him to gather power and form a situation of political struggle.

Wan'er sneaked into the princess's ear, and said softly: "Wan'er, the sixth king, has seen it before. According to my master, he is a soft-hearted person. Can you show affection and let him take the initiative to retreat for a while?" How about going back?"

The crown princess touched her little head, and sighed: "My son from the Tang Dynasty is competitive, and yearns for power. How can there be any reason to let go?"

She used to think that Ayepei's residence in Taoism was not good for fame and fortune, but since the management of the water transport, the number of times of entering the palace has become more frequent, and Pei's participation in political affairs has become stronger and stronger. Yongwang Li Xian is bound to do the same, once he is allowed to try If you feel the taste of power, I am afraid it will be difficult to extricate yourself.

The remonstrances of the ministers in the palace became more and more intense. Just as the crown prince was coughing lightly, another servant told him, "Fu Zhang, the palace guard of Prince Yong's residence, Li Jiyi, the guard, is waiting outside the palace and asks for an audience."

Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Li Yuanfang's arrival, but they couldn't help but be puzzled when they heard about Zhang Wangfu from Yongwang's mansion.

What does he come to do?
Wang Renbiao, who took the initiative to greet them, even saw that Li Yan and Zhang Daan were talking softly outside the hall, with a relaxed expression, suppressing the surprise in his heart, and quickly went up to him: "Your Highness asked me to welcome you two!"

Li Yan saluted: "Please Zhang Wangfu first!"

Zhang Da'an didn't dare to be negligent, he returned the courtesy and said: "Then the old man will not be polite, if Li Jiyi has time, you might as well come to Prince Yong's Mansion for a meeting."

Li Yan smiled: "Good!"

Zhang Da'an entered the room, facing a pair of vigilant eyes, he saluted calmly: "Greetings, Your Highness!"

The prince's attitude is still gentle: "Fu Zhang is exempt from courtesy, and I will give you a seat."

The palace maid put down the cushion, Zhang Daan knelt down, and said straight to the point: "The minister is ordered by the Six Great Kings to greet His Highness. The Six Great Kings know that the sage will award him a reward, and they are terrified. They are afraid that this will cause turmoil in the court. They plan to live in the mansion and concentrate on annotating " Book of the Later Han Dynasty."

Zhang Daan's intention for coming was very clear. Since Li Xian voluntarily backed down, he had to express his wish. Firstly, he showed his favor to the prince, and the two could avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, so he got straight to the point.

The officials were stunned, and they couldn't believe their ears. The scheming Beimen scholars exchanged glances, and felt that retreat was a trick to advance.

However, the crown prince understood this younger brother's temper, and knew that even if he wanted to fight for power, it was an honest fight, and he would not engage in such double-faced and villainous behavior, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Sixth brother, don't worry too much, studying behind closed doors will definitely not... "

Since Zhang Da'an has done it, he naturally wants to do his best to gain a good reputation for Li Xian, and said loudly: "The disaster has not yet recovered, and the six kings closed the door to eliminate the minds of some officials. I hope His Highness will agree!"

The prince thought for a moment, and reciprocated: "Okay, since the sixth brother wants to study the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", I will ask the students from the second library to help. Don't refuse any more."

This is to accumulate connections among scholars for Li Xian, Zhang Daan couldn't help admiring the prince's magnanimity, bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

It wasn't until this time that the officials realized that Li Xian had really given up on his own initiative and would not compete with the prince for power.

This is undoubtedly a happy situation for everyone, the atmosphere immediately relaxed, and the princess looked at Wan'er in surprise: "You master and apprentice can also think of going together?"

Wan'er smiled and was very proud: "Who made me Master's first disciple~"

And after Zhang Daan reported some affairs of the palace, seeing the tired look in the prince's eyes, he voluntarily resigned.

While the officials relaxed, they couldn't help looking forward to the next one, because that person had only entered the East Palace three times since he came to Luoyang.

As the assistant minister appointed by the sage, with such a leisurely attitude, if he were someone else, he would have been criticized as a fool by the censor, but he was an exception, because everything Li Yuanfang did was a major matter for the state. The assistant minister is worthy of the name.

At this moment, seeing that tall and heroic figure entering the hall, the prince couldn't wait any longer: "Yuan Fang, do you know what happened just now?"

Li Yan said: "I would like to hear the details."

The crown prince was exhausted, Wang Renbiao explained the matter again, and Li Yan said loudly: "All the princes are filial and filial, and they are all dragons among men. Your highness and the three great kings are brothers and sisters who are respectful, which makes the ministers envious. Congratulations, your highness!"

The prince said: "Yuan Fang, is it..."

Li Yandao: "This matter should be spread as a good talk, so that the court will be stable and the political affairs will be smooth. Congratulations, Your Highness!"

There are some things that don’t need to be delved into. After Li Xian got his name, the crown prince’s prestige will increase again. It is the best of both worlds. The crown prince realized the profound meaning of this silent support, put the emotion in his heart, nodded and said: "I understand."

The officials also cupped their hands silently, convinced, and when they left the East Palace, Miao Shenke expressed sincere admiration to the other North Gate scholars:

"Subduing the enemy without fighting, Li Jiyi is truly a god!"

　Thanks to the book friends "Hellcat", "Master of Chess and Sword Mansion", "Little husband_I want to come in", "Look at it", "Youth in the second year of middle school" for their rewards.
