Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

This is not just as simple as money!Of course, money is also very important. With these shares in hand, there will be a stable cash flow.Whether the prince made friends with officials or rewarded his subordinates, it was effortless.

More importantly, the transfer of these shares represented Guo Ye's support for the prince!Don't look at Guo Ye's previous status as a prince and tutor, that was granted by His Majesty, and it does not represent his own wishes.Until now, he has officially expressed his attitude.

Although it is said that Guo Ye only has the title of King Qin and does not have any duties.But Ma Zhou understood that Guo Ye was Jane's master in the emperor's heart, and he would be able to return to his post sooner or later.

Taking a ten thousand step back, if Guo Ye could not be reinstated as a judge, he would always be able to speak before His Majesty, right?A word at a critical moment may decide the fate of the prince.

Not to mention, Qin Guogong Guo Ye has many relatives and old friends, his vote may lead many people to join the crown prince.

Restraining his excitement, Ma Zhou asked: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is aware of the current situation, not to mention that it is in dire straits. The King of Qin has always been resourceful and resourceful. I wonder if he can solve the current predicament for the Crown Prince?"

Chapter 2010: Guo Ye Contributes to Success

Guo Ye smiled playfully: "Why? Don't worry about me being His Majesty's illegitimate child now?"

Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty named you the King of Qin and asked all the officials to bow down. In the eyes of ignorant people, this may have strengthened the conjecture. However, in the eyes of discerning people, after this, even if you are His Majesty's It is impossible for an illegitimate child to ascend to the throne."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Without it, it's too late. If you are really His Majesty's illegitimate child, and His Majesty wants to let you succeed, then you should take it slowly instead of suddenly being named King of Qin."

"why?"

"Why do you ask questions knowingly? Qin Wang, hehe, Qin Wang, with this title, your every move will be magnified. If you don't do something, say you have no merit. Do something, and if you make a mistake, you will be caught and magnified infinitely , If you don’t wait for the succession, your reputation will be rotten on the street.”

"Oh! That's how it is!" Guo Ye nodded and said, "Brother Ma, why do I feel that your evaluation of the title of King Qin is similar to that of the crown prince? According to what you said, who does His Majesty want to inherit the throne cannot be named?" Is he a prince?"

"Then how can it be the same? If you are an illegitimate child, if your Majesty already has an heir, if you want to succeed to the throne, you have to make meritorious deeds and support him. But the crown prince is different. His status is no problem, and he doesn't need to make meritorious deeds at all." , as long as you don’t make mistakes, you can inherit the throne.”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ma, don't you understand this well? Why do you need to ask me?"

"what do you mean……"

"Your Majesty is the lord of England. He not only wants to rule the world, but also wants to wipe out the barbarians, so as to prevent future troubles for future generations. The successor he needs doesn't need to show much talent at all. That's fine. On the contrary, if His Royal Highness is too heroic..."

"how?"

"Then I'm afraid His Majesty won't be able to sleep. Recently, His Majesty suppressed the Crown Prince on the one hand and supported King Qi on the other. Can't Brother Ma see this trend?"

"The prince's predicament, I thought it was all caused by Duan Zhichong's remonstrance. From what you say, even without Duan Zhichong, His Majesty would..."

"Without this incident, His Majesty would not have made it so obvious. But before he realizes that his time is running out, he will definitely not let the prince's prestige be too high. So, you should understand what the prince should do now, right? ?”

"You mean to keep a low profile?"

"That's almost what it means. His Royal Highness doesn't need to show his talent to stabilize his position, and His Majesty doesn't want him to show his talent. He just needs to work hard to be a good son. As for win over courtiers and train subordinates, there is absolutely no need for the crown prince to do it now. Can't do it either."

Ma Zhou frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I haven't thought about what you said. However, His Majesty once told his close ministers that the crown prince's character is cowardly, and he may be bullied by his ministers after succeeding to the throne. I hope he can improve in the future. "

Guo Ye sneered and said, "Grand Ye is just a dragon! Before the prince threatened him, he naturally hoped that the prince would be wise and powerful. However, when the prince really wins the hearts of the officials, His Majesty will change his mind."

"However, even if the facts are as you said. The crown prince doesn't need to cultivate power, how can the king of Qi be willing to let go? If the king of Qi follows the story of Xuanwumen, wouldn't the crown prince's actions today be just waiting to die? What's more..."

"what?"

"After the death of Empress Changsun, His Majesty's most beloved concubine is His Royal Highness Qi's biological mother Yin Guifei. If she is upright, His Royal Highness will be able to overwhelm King Qi with blood alone? Not likely."

In history, after the death of Empress Changsun, did His Majesty Li Er make another queen?Guo Ye couldn't remember clearly.But there is no doubt that Li Zhi became emperor in the end.

However, this reason cannot be used to convince Ma Zhou.

Guo Ye thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty started his business with the Xuanwu Gate, how could he not prevent his son from using this trick? Even if the crown prince wants to sit and build it, Your Majesty will not want to be a great ancestor, right? How can the Supreme Emperor be a great patriarch?" Is the emperor comfortable?"

"What about Concubine Yin?"

"As for Concubine Yin, His Majesty just loves her, so she may not be able to correct her. Even if she is corrected, it may not affect the crown prince."

Guo Ye smiled slightly, and continued: "Besides, Concubine Yin is so old, how can His Majesty like her? If it is not possible, His Highness the Crown Prince will present him with some stunning beauties, is it also a filial piety? "

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

Guo Ye said: "This is the emperor, the most honorable position in the world. How can there be any perfect strategy? At least in my opinion, it is much wiser for His Highness to hide his strength and bide his time than to engage in small tricks. As for whether to listen, it is up to His Highness."

Ma Yiyi gritted his teeth and said: "Since we have reached this point, you can give me an accurate word. If one day His Majesty Long Yubintian..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guo Ye said decisively: "This king will definitely do everything in his power to help His Highness the crown prince ascend the throne!"

"What if... what if there is an imperial edict to establish King Qi?"

Guo Ye stretched out his hand, pulled out the sword from his waist, and said, "Then I have to ask Mr. Guo whether he agrees to this sword or not!"

……

……

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Li Zhi's eyes sparkled brightly, and he said, "Did King Qin really say that?"

"It's true."

"That's all right!" Li Zhi said: "With the support of King Qin, this king's throne is guaranteed. Let's just listen to his old man, and serve the father with pure filial piety. Whatever the father gives, I want. If my father doesn’t give it to me, I will never take it on my own initiative.”

"But..." Ma Zhou hesitated: "Does Your Highness trust King Qin too much? Although he was named King Qin by His Majesty, he doesn't have any duties now. If he can't be reinstated...we can't bet all our treasures on on him alone."

Li Zhi looked serious, and said, "Mr. Ma, can I trust you?"

"Willing to die for His Royal Highness!"

"Okay! Then I will show you something good."

After twisting and turning, Li Zhi brought Ma Zhou into a secret room, took out a copy of Huang Lingzi's imperial edict, and said, "Mr. Ma, please read it!"

After Ma Zhou finished watching, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "This is great, not only is there no problem with the reinstatement of Prince Qin's official post, but also your battle for the position is a sure chance of winning."

……

……

Guo Ye didn't know that Li Zhi still had such a secret weapon. The reason why he agreed so firmly was to hug Li Zhi's thick legs in advance.

You know, according to history, His Majesty Li Er didn't have a good life for a few years.His successor, Li Zhi, had been emperor for more than 30 years.If you hold this big thick leg well, you don't have to worry about it for the rest of your life.

As for saying that history has changed, what can we do?

No matter how you say it, it's always right to be loyal to the prince who is rooted in Zheng Miaohong, right?As long as the successor is not King Qi, Guo Ye's life will not be so bad.His Majesty Li Er didn't kill all the remnants of the Jiancheng party!

What if King Qi really succeeds to the throne?That can't be helped.You might choke to death after eating, so why don't you eat?Always think of a surefire solution, don't pass this day.
