Chapter 663 Unfortunate Wu Youren

Li Yan and the Queen did not react immediately. The Queen said, "Chengjiu, you are the crown prince and the crown prince of the country. How can you leave the capital? Even if your father wants to go to Taiyuan, you can't go!"

Li Yan nodded, he also meant that, the queen was exactly what he was thinking.︾

In the Dafang Empire, of course, the same was true in the previous dynasty. The prince was not only the emperor's son, but also the next king of the country, so there must be no accident. For example, if there is a war in the border area, if the emperor insists on the emperor's command in person, then even if the emperor is unwilling to do so, he will lead troops to fight, but the emperor will definitely not let the prince go.

There are two key points here, one is on the surface, and the other is something that cannot be said secretly. Of course, the one on the surface is the crown prince of the country. There cannot be any trouble, so we must stay in the capital, honestly learn the way of governing the country, and prepare for the future of taking over the old emperor's team.

The reason that cannot be said secretly is that I am afraid that the prince will rebel. Before the throne of imperial power, to be honest, sometimes my own son cannot be completely trusted. In history, the emperor's father was suspicious of the prince's son, and there were many things to kill the son. The prince's son killed the emperor's father more, of course it was not limited to the prince's son. Other princes and sons also killed the father. As for the brother killing the younger brother, the younger brother stabbed the brother to death, there were countless things to count.

In this case, the emperor's father generally does not let the prince's son lead the army. If the prince's son thinks that the emperor's father has lived too long and has not died for a long time, delaying his becoming the emperor, so once he takes over military power, he is in a hurry to rebel, wouldn't that be bad? Is it rare for father and son to fight each other?

It should be rare in ordinary people's homes, but in imperial houses, that's not a rare thing! So generally speaking, the prince cannot leave the capital to lead troops, and there are few precedents. Unless the old emperor is terminally ill, Li Yan is living a good life now and is in good health!

He almost knew very little about what responsibility and taboos Li Chongjiu should have for the position of prince. Even if he had any understanding, he was superficial.

He used to be just a down-and-out prince who could be killed at any time. He was in danger. He was concerned about why he was the princess and why he was better to care about whether the eldest princess would kill him. But after a few days as the princess, he was forced to be desperate by Yang Ze. He did not have the majesty of being the prince at all, and he still had no time to think about what the prince should do!

Therefore, Li Chongjiu thought about things just from the open reason, but not from the secret reason, because he had no idea about the secret reason.

After hearing the queen's words, Li Chongjiu was quite anxious. He actually thought that the queen was too spoiling him. Of course, he could not say this himself. He just said anxiously: "Father, mother, Erchen used to live in a manor outside Chang'an City. He almost never left home and had never seen any world. Now he is the prince, and he feels incompetent. Erchen is afraid of being ridiculed by the court officials, so he really wants to learn more skills!"

Li Yan and the queen looked at each other. Although they had already understood the taste, Li Chongjiu was afraid of Yang Ze's revenge, so he wanted to escape from Chang'an City and escape from the limelight. However, the prince was forced out of the capital by the King of Yan. This was really unpleasant.

Seeing that his parents still refused, Li Chongjiu said again: "As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. If I stayed in Chang'an City and were in a small piece of the four directions of the East Palace, I would never learn much. I am really afraid that I would let down the expectations of my father and mother and I cannot become a capable prince!"

Li Yan frowned and said, "The cause and effect of this matter are already known by the emperor and your mother, but the matter of going to Taiyuan needs to be discussed for a long time. This is not a trivial matter. There has never been a precedent for the prince to leave Beijing to lead troops and still take power in the whole place." At this point, he looked at the queen.

The queen remembered the past. There was no precedent for the prince to leave Beijing to lead troops, but there was a precedent for the emperor to be exiled. Moreover, the exiled was her husband. She also went to the wilderness of the border with her and lived there for more than ten years!

Li Yan said: "Queen, what do you think about this?"

The queen snorted and said, "There is no precedent, but in your direction, are there still fewer precedents?"

She had no other meaning, and did not say that Cai Cai became the queen, Li Yan's throne was given away by his daughter, nor did she say that Yang Ze's power or something. She just thought of something and said it casually. What she said was that Li Yan had been the crown prince, the emperor, and the exile was unhappy, and her tone of speaking was naturally not much better.

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he was happy. It seemed that there was a chance. Although he met his parents for a limited number of times and spent a short time together, he knew very well that as long as his mother nodded in everything, his father would definitely agree. His father and father were quite afraid of his father.

Li Yan frowned even more and said, "The prince left Beijing... Will this make people think that he was exiled and forced by the princess, so he had to leave Beijing? In this way, there will be more battles in the future in the court?"

This is the thinking that an emperor should have. You can’t just look at what you are looking at!

If Li Chongjiu really went to Taiyuan and guarded the Longxing Land of the Dafang Dynasty, although it would not be regarded as exiled, it would also be considered by many people that Li Chongjiu had lost his favor and the position of prince might be out of order.

If there are many people who have this view, then they will naturally be optimistic about Caicai while looking down on Li Chongjiu. In other dynasties, there will be no favoritism for princesses and not for princesses, because no woman has ever been an emperor in other dynasties, but it is different in this dynasty. Queen Dugu, the supreme queen of the world, has just passed away. Women can be completely emperors, and Caicai has really become the second queen. Don’t think that she has only been for one day, but she has been for her. This is impossible to deny.

If more people support the princess and fewer people support the prince, one will decrease and the other will increase, then will the country still have time to calm down?

After hearing this, the queen said oh and nodded. She understood what her husband meant. If Li Chongjiu was asked to go to Taiyuan, it would be a good idea to avoid Yang Ze's revenge, but this method would cause trouble. For the country, this would not be a good thing.

Li Chongjiu was shocked when he saw this. Why did he go to Taiyuan? He was opposed by his father and mother? This was incredible. He originally thought it was a very simple thing. There was nothing difficult. How could he be opposed? Could it be that his father and mother wanted him to stay in the capital and was killed by Yang Ze?

He was originally a person with a somewhat extreme temperament. Once he had an idea, he would keep thinking in that direction. Now he actually had an idea, that is, his father and mother were still interested in Caicai. Who told Caicai to be raised by them? She was always by their side, and Yang Ze was the one who helped them ascend the throne again. The father and mother were towards them and were partial to them, so all this had reasonable reasons.

In an instant, Li Chongjiu felt resentment in his heart. He didn't think about how good Li Yan and the queen were to him. He just thought of a cause and effect out of thin air. Then he began to resent, thinking that he had been abandoned, thinking that he was not favored, and even thinking that his parents were harmful to him. Then he let his sister become the queen again.

If an extreme person has this kind of thought and cannot be concealed, his expression will definitely be revealed. Li Chongjiu lowered his head, stopped whispering, and his cheeks were bulging. He was obviously angry.

Wu Youren was behind Li Chongjiu. When Li Chongjiu bowed his head, he saw the prince's expression and felt a little nervous. Could it be that he had a misunderstanding? This is not enough. He finally got here just to let Li Chongjiu go to Taiyuan smoothly. This is not only related to Li Chongjiu's future, but also to his future!

Wu Youren bowed and said, "Emperor, Empress, now there will be a storm in Chang'an City. From the foolish opinion of my ministers, it is better to let one of them take a step back, and you need to know that taking a step back will make the sky wider! "

He paused and said, "Some words are not what I should say, but I still have to say them. The emperor said just now that I am afraid that the contradictions will increase in the future, but I don't think so. The prince is kind and kind. If he goes to Taiyuan to parade and test the local garrison, it will not only make the local garrison return home, but it will not take too long. At that time, the prince returns to Chang'an again. Although there are no soldiers around him, there are strong support outside. At that time, some people may have strange intentions, but they dare not act rashly. Slowly, the country will improve and the family will improve. The country, the country and the family are one."

His meaning is very clear, much easier to understand than what Li Chongjiu said.

Wu Youren told Li Yan and the Empress very bluntly that the crown prince needs military power, and he doesn’t have to go to Taiyuan for a long time. He just goes around and captures military power. In this way, after returning to Chang'an, Yang Ze dares not treat the crown prince, because the crown prince has foreign aid, and who is the foreign aid? Of course, it is Wu Youren. He is holding military power in Taiyuan. What else can Yang Ze dare to do?

In fact, from this matter, we can see that Wu Youren is not very loyal to Li Chongjiu. Of course, he didn't want to be loyal to Li Chongjiu from the beginning, he just wanted to get his own interests.

When Li Chongjiu returns to Chang'an, the battle with Yang Ze will not stop at all, but Wu Youren is in charge of Taiyuan. If Li Chongjiu wins the battle, he can be said to be because of his military power outside. Li Chongjiu will also thank him and think that's the case; and if Li Chongjiu fails and Wu Youren has military power outside, he can also bargain with Yang Ze, and even use the excuse of revenge for the prince to rebel, fight against Yang Ze, and fight for the world with Yang Ze, of course, it depends on how he manages Taiyuan.

Anyway, Wu Youren will never suffer any loss. Instead, he took the excuse of being honest and completely considering the prince to gain the greatest benefit for himself.

After hearing this, Li Chongjiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that Wu Youren was not brought in vain. It seemed that this confidant minister was still very powerful. If you say this reason, the father and mother will no longer object, right?

Li Yan thought about it and felt that Wu Youren's words were reasonable. He was a kind-hearted person. He didn't want anything to happen, but just hoped that the family would be harmonious and everything would be prosperous. If he could cover the conflict, he would be willing. And he saw that his son Li Chongjiu seemed to be dissatisfied with him just now, and he didn't want this dissatisfaction to continue.

But the queen heard something was wrong. From a general perspective, the queen was definitely not as good as Li Yan. She could only look at the problem from a personal perspective. However, when thinking about what Wu Youren said from a personal perspective, she could just hear the trick. Although the queen is not a master of conspiracy, it does not mean that others want to conspire, but she can't hear it.

Li Yan turned his head, looked at the queen, and said, "This... Queen, what do you think about this?"

He also wanted to hear his wife's opinions and say that anyone in this world would not plot against him, that is, this old wife who shares the worries with him. Although this old wife always scolds him, she is sincerely good to him.

The queen looked at Li Chongjiu. She also saw the dissatisfaction expression her son had just shown. She didn't want this dissatisfaction to continue, but she would not agree immediately.

The queen said, "It's impossible to say such a big thing now and then decide. My son should stay away from us. I can't bear to let him go, but it seems wrong to delay his ability. Otherwise, let's think about it again and make a decision after thinking about it."

Li Chongjiu was very anxious. What's going on? He can't make a decision now? But if he decides a few days later, maybe Yang Ze's revenge will come, and he can't afford to wait.

Wu Youren's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose. Will something happen? Why did this queen have so many things? And the emperor is really cowardly and can't take control of anything by himself. He even asked his wife, who is in charge of the court? Could it be that women are in charge of the family?

Li Yan immediately knew that the queen didn't want to say something in front of her son. Since that's the case, don't talk in person. He nodded and said, "Yes, the queen is right. You really need to think about such a big thing. Chongjiu, go back to the East Palace, you can study in the East Palace. I will visit you often, go back!"

As he said that, he waved his hand and signaled that Li Chongjiu would leave. Li Chongjiu had no choice but to leave with his head down. Wu Youren wanted to say something, but it was obvious that the emperor didn't take him seriously at all, so he had to follow Li Chongjiu away dejectedly.

When his son left, Li Yan sent away the little eunuch and palace maid who were serving him, and asked the queen, "Do you have something to tell me?"

The queen nodded and said, "Wu Youren is too thoughtful. I think he is not a good person. He is trying to plot against our son, and even his son-in-law wants to plot against him..."

She told Li Yan what she had just thought. After hearing this, Li Yan was shocked and said, "Take it seriously? I didn't think of this yet. After you said it, isn't that the case? What should we do?"

The queen sighed, "Have you seen that Chongjiu is afraid that he has complained about us. He is complaining about us being partial and towards Caicai."

Li Yan remained silent, but he didn't know what to do. He only felt that his children had debts, which made him, the father, embarrassed.

The queen said: "If Chongjiu is not allowed to go to Taiyuan and get a army of his own, he will be resentful, so let him go. Anyway, we only have him one son. If we don't give him the throne in the future, who else can we give it?"

Li Yan was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

But the queen said again: "That Wu Youren is not a good person. You can't let him be the one who stays in Taiyuan. If you stay in Taiyuan, let Chongjiu sit in it and increase the title of governor. As for Wu Youren, he demoted him. Such a minister who dares to plot against the royal family cannot stay with Chongjiu. He doesn't want to go to Taiyuan, so let him be a military farmer!"
