Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448

"Your Majesty, the law of heaven reincarnates. What is damaged is more than enough to make up for what is not enough. You single-handedly built the Tang Dynasty into a powerful dynasty that far surpassed the Qin and Han Dynasties. Incorporate it into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, your great achievements can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and the glory of 'one emperor through the ages' is well-deserved!"

Fang Xuanling earnestly and patiently remonstrated: "However, extremes of things must be reversed, and prosperity must decline. You single-handedly pushed the Great Tang to its peak. After you, it is bound to decline. This is the irreversible way of heaven in the world. However, you are now Not being greedy enough, expecting your successor to make further progress in the splendid country you left behind, this is no longer a question of whether it is difficult or not, but it violates the principle of things and is absolutely impossible."

His Majesty Li Er was stunned.

He is obsessed with establishing a great achievement and making himself the "eternal emperor" far superior to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. However, manpower is sometimes poor. No matter how wise and powerful he is, he will eventually die. The successor will inherit the great cause left by him, and even do better than himself!

But I have never considered the problem from the perspective of "the Way of Heaven"...

Prosperity must decline, and things must be reversed. This is the way of heaven, and the way of heaven cannot be violated.

Whether it is the Great Qin that ruled the world and swept the world, or the strong man who is bound to be punished despite his military front, it is inevitable that after reaching the apex of strength, he will gradually fall into the trough.

Is it a question of the successor?

Maybe there is, but more reasons are all attributed to the way of heaven - prosperity must decline!

When it is strong and prosperous, many contradictions can be covered up. Everyone put aside the contradictions in pursuit of greater ideals and more lucrative interests, but the contradictions never disappear. Once the power of the country slips, various contradictions will arise. The problem will be thoroughly stimulated.

For example, the political demands of the aristocratic families...

Now that he is in power, the Tang Dynasty is invincible in sweeping the world, and the ambition of the aristocratic family is firmly suppressed.Once the emperor changes and the country's power falls back from its peak, those aristocratic families who insist on the "Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System" and refuse to let go will inevitably make a comeback.

For an empire, aristocratic families are a double-edged sword.

It can unify all forces when the empire rises, and become the sharpest weapon in the hands of the emperor, invincible.When the empire is weakening, it can also turn against the guest, manipulate the state power in its hands, and seek its own interests...

And why did he alienate Changsun Wuji?

There are certainly many reasons, but the most important one is that Changsun Wuji himself represents the interests of the huge Guanlong Group behind him, but the interests of the Guanlong Group are contrary to the interests of the country...

Now I have committed an unforgivable ignorance, hoping that King Jin, who is supported by the Guanlong Group, will inherit the position of crown prince and can make this country stronger after me... This is simply contradictory.

Wasn't the day when King Jin became emperor the day when the Guanlong Group reaped the fruits of victory?

And this "fruit of victory" is a real national interest...

His Majesty Li Er let out a long breath and suddenly became enlightened.

What are you doing?

This side tried its best to suppress the aristocratic family, but the other side favored Jin Wang, who was supported by the aristocratic family, to inherit the throne...

What a fool!

However, just as he wanted to understand, he immediately fell into hesitation.

With his acquiescence, Prince Jin participated in the fight for the crown prince, but now he wants to snuff out the hope that King Jin had just ignited... Isn't this a bit cruel?

How could Fang Xuanling fail to see where His Majesty Li Er was struggling?

But he is also helpless, there is nothing to persuade.

For the youngest son of King Jin, His Majesty Li Er's love is sincere and unreserved.

How could he have the heart to knock King Jin, who had been longing for the crown prince, into the dust, and completely cut off this thought?Not to mention that this child was originally safe and kind, and it was he, His Majesty Li Er, who sent him to the road of fighting for the reserve...

too cruel.

The hall fell into silence for a moment, only the continuous sound of rain outside the window.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er slowly closed his eyes and sighed: "This memorial... just reject it."

Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Since it is a refusal, it naturally cuts off the way for the King of Jin to seek the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to establish a team.If it was said that Gao Shilian might have been drawn over by the King of Jin before, after all, he had a blood relationship, but now, Gao Shilian must be at odds with the King of Jin, and turned to the prince.

His Majesty Li Er was stunned to find that he had unintentionally assisted the crown prince once. It must be known that the prince's influence in the court was extremely low in the past. Now that he has the banner of the Ministry of Officials, there will naturally be many ministers attached to the past... …

*****

The tea was warm and cold, His Majesty Li Er ordered the servants to leave to make a new pot, and invited Fang Xuanling to sit down casually, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, listening to the wind and rain outside the window, the hall was empty and cool, it was very pleasant.

It's just that His Majesty Li Er is frowning, and he always feels ashamed of King Jin, and he is really entangled...

Fang Xuanling reassured: "Your Majesty, why should you blame yourself? The position of the crown prince is related to the foundation of the country. It should not be neglected, how can it be changed easily? The so-called influence of one hair can affect the whole body. I don't know how many people's interests are connected with the crown prince. How many people's interests have deviated from the Crown Prince's... Now His Majesty just intends to be easy to save, and there is a dark tide in the court. Once the imperial decree is really issued, then all kinds of ghosts and snakes will emerge to disturb the world! His Royal Highness has always been He is intelligent and understands the general situation, so he must be able to understand His Majesty's difficulties after thinking about it."

To be honest, he felt helpless towards the emperor in front of him.

How important is the position of the crown prince?This one is vacillating towards Qin Muchu, and he is completely different from the usual wise and courageous. Before, he wanted Wei Wang to inherit the position of crown prince, but now he intends to support Jin Wang to take the position, as if the position of crown prince is just a seventh-rank sesame official. Do it for whoever it is, it's just dizzy...

No matter how wise the monarch is, he will inevitably lose his mind when facing the truth about his son.

Caring makes chaos, just like the evil in my family that makes me love and hate so much...

There seems to be a tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers. Just as Fang Xuanling thought of his son, he heard His Majesty Li Er ask: "What is that stick of yours doing lately? There have been turmoil in the court these two days, and all of them have something to do with him, but it has never changed." It's not like him to hear his movements."

Fang Xuanling's eyelids twitched, is this something the emperor can say?

No prestige, no frivolity...

"Erlang spends most of his time in the yamen drafting emergency relief regulations today. After all, the establishment of this command yamen by the imperial court is an unprecedented move. There are no rules to follow. We must come up with a solution as soon as possible to avoid chaos and disorder. The more you do it, the more mistakes you make, and if you miss the opportunity for disaster relief, it will deviate from the original intention of setting up this yamen."

Fang Xuanling explained.

"Well, well done." His Majesty Li Er nodded gratifiedly, motioned for Fang Xuanling to drink tea, and continued: "This kid is very talented, and he handles things very safely, but his temper is inevitably a bit willful and crazy, and he must be encouraged and supervised." That's all right, except for me, he is the only one who will listen to what you say, so you must work hard to get rid of his bad habits."

Holding the teacup, Fang Xuanling pondered for a while, and tentatively said: "The recent rumors about him and Princess Changle, no matter what the cause is, have damaged the face of the royal family after all. It is an unforgivable crime. Please forgive me. Your Majesty punishes..."

The essence of this matter does not lie in whether Fang Jun really had an affair with Princess Changle, but that the rumors spread among the Fangshi and damaged the royal family's face.In fact, even if the two really have some personal affair, as long as the gods don't know it, with His Majesty Li Er's love and guilt for Princess Changle, it is very likely that he will turn a blind eye and let it go.

But it definitely does not mean that this matter can be put on the table.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand indifferently: "I can trust my daughter, Changle is gentle and virtuous, with a chaste temperament, and she will never do such things that are offensive to public morals. Xuanling doesn't need to worry too much."

Fang Xuanling was speechless...

Why does this sound so wrong, and you think that there is no affair between the two of them because your daughter is chaste, even if my son is not good at seducing?

The two drank tea and chatted first, then saw Wang De come in hurriedly, handed a memorial to His Majesty Li Er, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the Zhengshitang has sent an urgent report, because the rain is too heavy , the river is soaring, even if the Zhengguo Canal fully releases the flood, it will not be able to divert the flood, and Yunyang and other places in the upper reaches of Jingyang are always in danger of breaking the embankment."

The monarch and his ministers were suddenly moved.
