Chapter 391: Establish a Crown Prince (September to October)
"This...how is this possible!"
Pei Mian, who was beside him, said what Wang Sili wanted to say in an incredible tone.
It is true that His Majesty the Emperor is strong, but no matter how tough he is, he will never be able to be invincible with a long sword in his seventies!
Your Majesty is not Lian Po, Huang Zhong!
He is just an old man with a tough body!
Moreover, even Lian Po and Huang Zhong could not achieve such a record as His Majesty the Emperor when he was young! Not to mention being old!
The news that I heard suddenly was like a bolt from the blue for Wang Sili and Pei Mian.
The impact on them was stronger than the ones that Emperor Emperor dismissed Prince Li Heng for crimes of rebellion and then killed.
"Little... The villain once heard that Gao Lishi and others shouted that Emperor Taizong showed up and blessed the Tang Dynasty..."
The soldier on the left suddenly remembered something and quickly added.
"Emperor Taizong appears?!"
Wang Sili's expression moved, and she seemed to ask and said something to herself.
Although he was extremely shocked at this time, when he mentioned Emperor Taizong, he still looked upright and showed respect.
The Tang people respected Emperor Taizong from the bottom of their hearts for the wise and powerful Emperor Taizong. Even though he had been away for more than a hundred years, this respect had not decreased at all.
I just respect Emperor Taizong, but the appearance of the spirit is still too illusory.
I was so illusory that as soon as I heard about it, Wang Sili and Pei Mian thought it was simply nonsense.
But after looking carefully, I had to think about this, because what happened to His Majesty the Emperor was so magical!
Apart from the statement that Emperor Taizong showed his spirit, the rest are really incomprehensible.
The two of them suppressed all the shocks in their hearts, and then carefully asked about the various things about the Mawei Slope Incident. After a while, they said: "You two are here to sleep in the open and go all the way through the stars and the moon. It's really hard. Let's go down and have a good meal first and have a good sleep."
After the two tired soldiers who were about to fall apart walked out, Wang Sili threw herself into the chair with no strength.
He looked at the roof with his eyes blankly, and his expression was even more than Mr. Ge.
"This... why did this suddenly change like this!"
Pei Mian also sat down, supported her cheeks with one hand, and sucked the cold air like a toothache. It took a while before he could put such a sentence.
Wang Sili also wanted to ask this sentence.
After recovering from the shock caused by His Majesty's sudden outbreak, the two had to consider the various effects of this sudden incident.
The result is certainly frustrating.
All the things that were originally planned were invalidated because of the sudden rise of the old emperor.
The prince is the best choice for their border troops to get rid of the control of the old emperor.
At the critical moment when An Lushan rebelled and Tongguan fell, the old emperor abandoned Chang'an and fled west, these people had every reason to support the prince as emperor and took the opportunity to get rid of the difficult old emperor.
However, this thing that was about to succeed came to an abrupt end in a way that no one expected!
After the prince was killed on the name of rebellion, they also lost their best chance!
These people are different from An Lushan.
An Lushan wanted to rebel himself as the emperor, but they also thought about the Tang Dynasty and wanted to do their part for this country and use their own sword to protect this country.
All they were dissatisfied with was that while the emperor was making them bleed for the country, he kept putting shackles on them.
So they want to get rid of the old emperor and want to find greater freedom for themselves.
The contradictions between the central and local governments have existed since ancient times. From the standpoint of both sides, it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong.
However, judging from the middle Tang Dynasty, especially in the late period and during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the various Jiedus attacked each other, and the smoky world was everywhere, it was necessary to limit the power of Jiedus.
After all, things will turn back when extremes are extremes. A person who cannot control his power is definitely not a good thing for a huge empire.
Things became difficult to do, and the two sat in the room and were speechless, thinking about ways to break the situation.
"Your Majesty has many bloodlines. In addition to the prince, there are many other descendants. Why not choose another one and respect him as the emperor?"
After a long time, Pei Mian slowly stood up, walked to Wang Sili, leaned down, and said in a low voice.
Wang Sili's body trembled and his face became a little unnatural.
After a while, he said, "It's only a matter of inappropriateness, what's the difference between this and the traitor?"
This sounds strange, but it is not difficult to understand.
After all, the person they wanted to support was the current crown prince, the heir to the empire personally designated by His Majesty the Emperor.
At the critical moment they supported him as emperor, which was said in the past, both in terms of emotion and reason.
But it would be completely different if it were other princes.
First of all, it is unreasonable. If the old emperor is still there, you will support other people who are not even the prince to ascend the throne. Isn’t that just a public rebellion of the emperor?
Although the prince and the prince are both the emperor's sons, the difference is very different.
When the old emperor was still alive, if Wang Sili and the others really supported a prince as the emperor, they would not say the rest, just the leisurely mouth of the people in the world could make them feel comfortable.
These people not only pursue the success of life, but also attach great importance to the reputation behind them.
Under the influence of Confucianism, the emphasis on etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame is far beyond what those later generations could do in order to pursue profits.
As soon as Wang Sili said this, Pei Mian became silent.
This is really not good-looking.
The biggest problem is that it is not justified.
"Have it!"
He paced for a while, then suddenly slapped his head and said in surprise.
"The plan will be released?"
Wang Sili looked at him.
Pei Mian calmly said in a low voice again: "As the mess today, His Majesty has lost Chang'an.
The imperial guards were all broken up, and even if they were not broken up, those people were not enough.
Your Majesty naturally would not let An Ni Xiaoyao go on, but if you want to suppress the rebellion, you must rely on our border troops.
At this time, it is not as good as before. If you want to move me again, you must give enough sweetness.
At this time, we will submit a memorial to the court, saying that Your Majesty is old and must establish a crown prince... If Your Majesty refuses, we will not send troops late on the grounds that the border is tight..."
Wang Sili's eyes lit up. This is indeed a good way. First, a prince is established, and then as long as the prince is saved, the emperor will not be killed again, there will be more measures that he and others can take...
He thought for a while and nodded slightly, as he agreed with Pei Mian's method.
Then the two discussed carefully. After a clearer understanding, they called their confidant and explained the matter and asked them to go to Shuofang.
At the same time, bring a letter of condolence.
Trust is a normal trust, which means normal mutual inquiries between the military. Such things cannot be seen in the literal form of people.
All the important things are in the sent-up confidant's stomach.
Chapter completed!
