"Anything else?" Shangguanyi mused while meditating on his beard. He gave Wang Shilang who was sitting next to him a look. Wang Shilang understood, and left the private room with the officials who followed him. Guan Sixing saw He understood that Shangguanyi had some private matters to tell him, so all the officials in Yizhou also went out.
There were only two people left in the private room, Guan Sixing said: "Shangguange elders don't just give advice?"
Shangguanyi got up and walked to the door. After confirming that there was no one there, he said to Guan Sixing: "Sixing, His Highness has been in power for four years. If I remember correctly, His Highness should be over twenty-eight this year. This age is not enough. It's too young, our current emperor ascended to the throne at this age."
Guan Sixing nodded, acquiescing to Shangguanyi's statement.
"It's just that everyone can see now that our highness is better than the emperor in martial arts and martial arts, and now the emperor is healthy and can live for another thirty or forty years. How can we, the courtiers, let your highness wait Will he be on the throne again in 30 or 40 years? Since the emperor said so, I think the emperor probably also has a test in this area, and now only one person needs to persuade him." Shangguanyi turned around and said softly in front of Guan Sixing.
"It's not impossible, it's just that His Highness is benevolent and filial. If he knows about this..." Guan Sixing hesitated.
"Sixing, why are you confused? Your Highness is benevolence and filial piety, but there is no such thing as benevolence and filial piety in the matter of the throne. Your Highness cannot force the palace like the emperor used to because of the word benevolence and filial piety, but we ministers can't see it in our eyes." Just sit back and ignore it, do you want to wait until His Highness reaches sixty years to ascend the throne?" Shangguanyi's tone suddenly became stern.
Guan Sixing was silent. How could he not understand this truth when he was the emperor and the courtiers? Now Li Yin is indeed in control of the power, but he can tell that there are some things that Li Yin still dare not vigorously reform. Under the influence of Li Shimin, the feeling of being oppressed forever is not good.
"The old saying of Shangguan Pavilion is justified. Since ancient times, the position of emperor has been won by sages. For His Highness and for the sake of Tang Dynasty, I, Guan Sixing, will take this risk." Guan Sixing said firmly.
Showing an appreciative smile, Shangguanyi said: "Sixing, you are familiar with Taoist Master Li Chunfeng. In fact, you don't need to go out in person. You just need to ask Taoist Master Li Chunfeng to hand over a book to the emperor. With the emperor's shrewdness, he At that time, I will naturally understand how to choose.”
"Book? What book?" Guan Sixing is a good hand in government affairs, but when it comes to tactics, he can't compare with Shangguanyi.
Shangguanyi said slowly: "The story of the three ancient emperors Yao, Shun and Yu."
Guan Sixing nodded lightly when he heard the words. The key point of this allusion is the meaning of the Zen throne and the sage inheriting the throne. Li Shimin will naturally understand what it means, "Then I will go to prepare." Guan Sixing said.
Hearing this, Shangguanyi patted Guan Sixing lightly on the shoulder, "Sixing, if His Highness ascends the throne, I will definitely recommend you to Chang'an. You are really overqualified in Yizhou."
The person who stepped into the officialdom didn't want to be promoted step by step, Guan Sixing said: "Thank you, Shangguan Pavilion, for your love."
After the banquet was over, Shangguanyi brought the officials back to Chang'an, and Guan Sixing invited Li Chunfeng to a matcha manager in Yizhou. There is one more thing that needs the help of the Taoist priest."
Today's Li Chunfeng is no longer purely practicing Taoism in Qingcheng Mountain, but occasionally goes to Yizhou University to teach astronomy knowledge. After meeting Guan Sixing, who likes astronomy, the two of them immediately discuss these astronomical knowledge together as if they met confidants. , "Don't worry about the governor."
After taking the book, Li Chunfeng wanted to open the silk cloth, but Guan Sixing held down his hand at this moment, and he said: "This is very important stuff, don't let outsiders know about it."
Withdrawing his hand in a daze, Li Chunfeng said: "Is this what His Highness wants to hand over to the Emperor?"
Hearing this, Guan Sixing just smiled and said nothing.
"I understand." Li Chunfeng regards Guan Sixing as his confidant, so he naturally does not suspect that there is a ghost in it. Guan Sixing smiled and said nothing, and he took it as acquiescence. The car returned to Mount Qingcheng.
Li Shimin has followed Yuan Tiangang to practice Taoism since he came to Qingcheng Mountain. Now that Yuan Tiangang is old, but he has a youthful face and looks like a fairy, which makes Li Shimin more obsessed with Taoism. Shimin has a clean environment, and Qingcheng Mountain has also thanked guests since then, but there are many Taoist boys on this mountain to serve Li Shimin's food and daily life.
In the evening, Li Shimin had just finished his meditation. He wanted to go out for a walk, but he met Li Chunfeng who was going up the mountain. He smiled and said, "Daochang Li went to Yizhou University to give lectures again?"
Li Chunfeng returned a salute, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, the poor way went down the mountain to return a friend, and he asked me to bring a book to Your Highness."
"Oh." Li Shimin said a little strangely: "Who is it? Give me the book."
"It's Guan Sixing, the governor of Yizhou. It seems that His Highness asked him to pass this book on to the emperor." Li Chunfeng said honestly.
After receiving the book wrapped in white silk cloth from Li Chunfeng's hand, Li Shimin opened it casually to have a look. The light in the distance was dim, but he saw every word in the book's allusions, but he was not shocked at all. Instead, he smiled helplessly, "These Yizhou officials really can't wait, hey."
Seeing Li Shimin sigh, Li Chunfeng said: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with this book?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's okay, Daoist Li can go and do his own business."
After all, Li Shimin turned around and went back to his room, and then put the book in the wastebasket. After a little thought, he realized that this was a good thing done by the Yizhou officials, but these officials obviously underestimated Li Shimin and the others. Li Yin's relationship also underestimated Li Shimin's heart and courage. After Li Yin firmly controlled Datang, he thought of the Zen throne, and the reason why he still clings to the throne all these years is not because he is greedy for power , but he was afraid that Li Yin would not be able to suppress the officials in Chang'an, and now that Li Yin's prestige had exceeded his expectations, he thought it was time to make this decision, because he knew that the throne at this time was important to him. Holding a bottle of poison in your hands will not do you any good, but will kill you, and this book sent by Li Chunfeng just proves this point. Some people can't wait any longer. Thinking of this, Li Shimin asked someone to clean up. He intends to return to Chang'an.
Ever since he asked Li Chunfeng to hand over the book to Li Shimin, Guan Sixing, who was sober, was worried every day, hating why he suddenly believed Shangguanyi's words when he was in a daze. If Li Shimin was furious because of this, his whole family might be killed All the doors were copied and chopped.
After two days of panic, Guan Sixing suddenly received a call from Shangguanyi on this day. On the phone, Shangguanyi was very excited, and told Guan Sixing that he had decided to sit in Li Yin in the early court, and that the Zen ceremony would be held soon The grand ceremony, and continued to praise Guan Sixing, so that Guan Sixing, who was in panic, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In Chang'an City, the news of Li Shimin's Zen position is known to everyone, but this news seems to have become a topic of conversation after dinner. The praises are endless, and Li Shimin has earned himself a good reputation.
As far as Li Yin was concerned, Li Shimin's move was a bit too sudden. After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he immediately summoned his officials. The allusion, and then said that Li Yin is more wise than him, but now he has no intention of governing, and decided to let the throne be handed over to Li Yin.
After Li Shimin's words were over, the entire court fell into silence. Changsun Wuji and other veterans knelt down and cried bitterly, but no one chose to persuade Li Shimin to stay on the throne, because they knew that Li Shimin was the real smart person. Being kicked out, it is better to abdicate gracefully, in this way, Li Yin can feel grateful and treat Li Shimin kindly, so that he can spend his old age peacefully, and will not repeat the mistakes of Li Yuan back then. r1152
