Just a few days ago, the Shendu court officially changed the reign of the Tang Dynasty and abandoned Zhou and returned to Tang Dynasty.

However, when it comes to the issue of supreme power, the court still cannot unify its voice, so Li Dan still reigns the country as an embarrassing royal heir. This also brings about an even more embarrassing problem, that is, there is no king in the country.

Of course, there are still some. The title of the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian has not been eliminated. But the Holy Emperor is the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all, but not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, while the reign was changed, Wu Zetian's title should be abolished, but the form of the royal heir should inherit the Grand Priesthood has not been determined within the court, which makes the current situation subtle and dangerous.

Orthodox and righteousness are the most important things in the world. If this problem is not solved for a day, the Shendu court will not be able to govern the world legitimately. Li Dan is in such a focus position and has been living a restless life in recent times.

After listening to the emperor's complaints, Wang Meichang suddenly realized that the depth of the water was unfathomable. She was still bold enough to share the worries of the emperor's success, but now she fell silent and felt a sense of powerlessness.

If he was suddenly frivolous and frivolous in his previous position, he would naturally have to talk about it. However, after the previous blow, he also realized that he was really not worth mentioning in front of the real big shot in the current situation.

Even if he returns to God this time, he is so arrogant because His Highness Yong behind him. The prime ministers will give King Yong face, and he is just a shogunate joining the army. He can not give others face, and others will not care about him at all.

But since the emperor's words have reached this point, he always has to make the statement. After a while of silence, Wang Meichang said again: "No matter what choice your highness makes, I will be scattered and follow you to the death!"

Saying this means not saying it, it is just giving people a kind of comfort.

"Oh, now my situation is difficult to advance, and I am afraid of losing the world if I retreat. Now I finally feel that the most sinister thing in the world is these three inches of people's hearts!"

Li Dan sighed again, his expression full of melancholy: "Although my mother was not kind to me in the past year, she was responsible for family and state affairs. I could still live in a leisurely place. I occasionally felt arrogance, and often had cold eyes and resentment, secretly hating my mother's political confusion. But when I control my authority, I realized that the world is mixed and people's hearts are unpredictable."

It’s not that Li Dan didn’t want to cheer up and show a bit of arbitrary domineering spirit, but his personality always lacked some decisiveness.

Originally, when the Wu kings were in court, he was the heir of the country that the old ministers of the Tang family expected. When the Gods had just revolutionized, the ministers came to the palace to greet them. Li Dan was frightened and had no lack of heroic thoughts in his heart. He only said that this time he was expected to be full of expectations. As long as he could know people and treat the virtuous with kindness, he would not have to worry about political clarity and rejuvenation of the country.

But the reality is that the court seems to have a wide range of talents, but there are few of his confidants on the list. The old Tang ministers who originally supported him are intrigues with each other and cannot help each other.

This time, the progress of the throne was also an outbreak of conflicts. The strong minister Li Zhaode insisted on letting him succeed the throne as the crown prince, saying, "The emperor's will, without any involvement in His Highness. The emperor's successors advance and retreat, all the Holy Emperor, rashly abandoning this, filial piety and righteousness, etiquette and law are lacking."

But Li Dan knew in his heart that Li Zhaode's persistence was nothing more than to maintain a relatively transcendent position in the court. Li Zhaode was the Secretariat Order that was enfeoffed by the Holy Emperor before he lived in seclusion. Only when the emperor inherited the throne as the crown prince could he continue to maintain his authority to assist the ministers.

Although what Li Zhaode said is not unreasonable, even if he does not consider the issue of being ordered by his father or mother, Li Zhaode's unquestionable tone made Li Dan feel quite angry.

Although he is not a person who is obsessed with power, it does not mean that he has no ideas or temper. Whether Li Zhaode said anything makes sense or not, he is a suggester rather than a decision maker. Otherwise, the monarch and his subjects will be in a disorderly manner and the harmony between them will be gone.

After thinking about it, Li Dan continued: "I have been in other people's affairs for a long time, and there are few close friends in the court. As a relative and elder, my father-in-law is one of the few people who can speak out with heart. After all, the art of punishment is a trivial path. I am worried that my father-in-law will take this for a long time and will damage his reputation and criticize it by the masses. It may be difficult for him to be of great use in the future."

Hearing that the emperor's heir was still entangled in this section, Wang Meichang couldn't help but sigh and said seriously: "How come I don't understand this principle? But I was worshiping in the court a few days ago. It is hard to see a person who has no roots! He has shallow talent and does not have any power. If he has any intention of rebellion, he will be troubled."

"There is no distinction between big and small skills, only cleverness and clumsy. For example, when King Yong entered the world in the old year, he was also a person who said something lightly, and did not receive heavy opinions, offered scriptures to charm the superiors, and the world laughed at him. But now, he has been able to kill the great thief and restore the country. Who dares to regard King Yong as lightly? Someone may not have the wisdom of King Yong, but he also feels that the high prince has no roots and sighs, and he is willing to be a tentacle, deeply rooted in the affairs, only seeking to be clear from the top and bottom, and the emperor's destiny is unhindered!"

Hearing Wang Meichang's admiration for King Yong, Li Dan's eyes flashed, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Yong Wang is a great talent in the clan family, but he is young and energetic, and he is always inevitable to stop criticism. This time, he used the westwardly and forced his subordinates to seize the guard of Tongguan, and there was no shortage of speech in the court. Tongguan is a major pass in China, so how can he not be held in the court? King Yong's authority and abused the power to control Tongguan, and Shanzhou is also under his cover. I am afraid that the Shendu government will not be sent to the west if it lasts for a long time!"

"Who has introduced this evil saying?"

When Wang Meichang heard this, his face suddenly changed: "If it weren't for the scheming and evil person who was afraid of the rest of the world, how could he attack a famous king of the Zong family in such a bad way? King Yong made great achievements and worked hard without hesitation. If he had no country in his heart, why not linger in the capital of God and enjoy wealth?"

After hearing this, Li Dan looked a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "A thing is true, hundreds of people see it, and people talk about it. There is no need to be a crime because of words. After all, guarding against the people is more important than guarding against rivers."

"Three people become tigers, and they accumulate and destroy gold. I am worried that evil words will be filled with evil words. Your Highness may become disgusted with King Yong for a long time. There is no need to explain in detail what the deeds of King Yong is. The Zong family has such a strong support to be able to remain powerful. I said this, Your Highness may think that he is greedy for King Yong's old rescue, but..."

Speaking of this, Wang Meichang paused, looked left and right, leaned towards the imperial heir, and then whispered: "I took the initiative to seek criminal matters in Xijing to prevent the great difficulties of King Yong. Guanzhong is the former home of the Tian family, and the Yuan people's followers are the cornerstone of the country. If King Yong is kind and forgives him, it will inevitably lead to people's hearts and gathering power in Chang'an. I will not hesitate to fight for punishment and punish the crimes to kill himself, just to prevent King Yong and Yuan people from joining the collusion and response from the Yuan people of Xijing!"

"This, this..."

Li Dan was really shocked when he heard this. He really didn't expect that his father-in-law had such profound plans.

"I dare not say that I am wise, but this action will be a little effective. Therefore, the families in Xijing are afraid of King Yong and stay away from him, which makes King Yong lose his talent and widely use it. To stabilize the situation in Guanzhong, they even need to quote Caoye people."

Speaking of this, Wang Meichang sighed as if she was holding a wise bead, "It's just a scramble! In recent years, those who have used this force are more than Xia thief Dou Jiande? In the battle of Hulao, the army was defeated and died, and the hegemony was destroyed. King Yong may have a strong momentum, but he cannot make a famous family in the pass. Although he has the will, he is powerless. Or he is strong for a while, but his power is difficult to last long. Training a hawk and driving away wolves is a good idea!"

After hearing Wang Meichang's statement, Li Dan opened his mouth and really didn't know how to evaluate it. He even felt like he couldn't see through his father-in-law, and couldn't tell whether it was a wise man or something else.

"I won't say much about everything in Xijing, and I'll wait for the decision of the Political Affairs Hall. My father-in-law has returned to the capital this time and has shown merits. Let's stay in the court for appointing him. My wife's body has been declining for a long time recently, and I can't bear to separate her flesh and blood for many years."

Li Dan no longer commented on whether Wang Meichang's remarks were right or wrong. In other words, he still felt that he would arrange his father-in-law in Shendu for safer: "Besides, the throne is still undecided, and the matters are light, and Shendu is the most important. Lingnan Dao visited the Dou family and the eldest son will return to Shendu soon. At that time, the friendship between the several families will be smooth and frequent, so there is no need to be separated from each other and endure the suffering."

When Wang Meichang heard the first half of the words of the Emperor Si, he felt quite heartwarming, and felt that his two daughters were entrusted by him. But when he heard the second half of the words of the Emperor Si, his mood suddenly sank.

According to the emperor's words, Dou Xiaochen was not dead yet and was about to be recalled to the court, which inevitably made Wang Meichang subconsciously feel a sense of crisis. Speaking of origin, power and relationship with the emperor's feelings, Dou Xiaochen undoubtedly far surpassed him. Once he entered the capital, his influence on Wang Meichang would be great.

When talking about the reasons for taking on matters in Xijing, Wang Meichang's words to Huangsi were second-hand. His biggest consideration was to use the power of King Yong to suppress those Guan Longyuan nobles in order to prevent the Dou family from making a comeback.

Thinking of this, Wang Meichang realized that the emperor's sensation was still more concerned about Dou after all, and wanted to summon these Yuan from the nobles to the court as his arm. The reason why he repeatedly advised him not to engage in criminal activities in Xijing was not for his reputation, but for avoiding the evil of the nobles in Guanlong!

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Meichang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It is her blessing for your wife to be able to win the dear to Your Highness. The heavenly family is in good health, and evil spirits are hard to harm. Now that the country is not safe, how can my relatives sit idle? Even if I am close to you, it is not very helpful. Moreover, when I was in the court in the past, I had no virtue to praise. Even if I had accumulated small things to do, I would not be able to make mistakes before. I wish to stay in the shogunate and dare not follow the feelings and harm the court to punish and reward justice!"

The most ruthless one is the imperial family. Even if the emperor is gentle, once he has the power and tricks, he will keep himself in the capital of God to make the Dou family stand up. Wang Meichang felt sour in his heart, and he also strengthened his determination to plan for the future.

"I am returning to the capital this time and I am still following the orders of King Yong. I need to visit several relatives to deliver oral messages. I heard that Prince Lu loves Goro Takaye, can I go with you with me?"
