Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

He was thinking that if he could get Chen E's support, Li Ying's confidence in being imprisoned as the crown prince would at least be a bit more assured.

Chen E hated getting involved in royal disputes unnecessarily, she immediately turned her head with a look of displeasure.

Sure enough, Zhang Jiuling smiled at Mimi with a look of indifference.

However, Li Ying couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Today, Gu came here in humble clothes. No one knows about it. No matter whether you are a monarch or a minister, you only care about personal interests. When Gu was young, the father and emperor once led Gu and introduced Gu to me. Your Majesty, there is absolutely no other intention in bringing you here today, just to reminisce about the old days, please take your seat!"

As he spoke, there was pleading in his eyes.

Chen E didn't want to recall Li Ying's childish face when she was a child, her heart softened inexplicably, and she shook her head secretly.

What's the use of relying on poets if you want to achieve great things?

It's not that Chen E looked down on poets. Taking Li Bai as an example, Li Longji didn't use Li Bai. It wasn't because of rumors that he was arrogant, but that Li Bai was prone to alcoholism and often acted on his temper. Let alone Li Longji, Chen E wouldn't use such a person as an official .

Li Bai can only be a poet.

If Li Ying wanted to keep the crown prince, he still had people like Li Linfu to assist him!

"Since the prince has invited you, Chen will not be polite."

Chen E thought that after all, he still had some affection, and it was not appropriate to leave with a flick of his sleeve. Besides, he didn't need to avoid Li Ying like a snake. Even if Concubine Wu Hui was upset, what could he do with Li Longji if he blew pillow wind at Li Longji?

Emperor Ziwei would never agree with Li Longji to dismiss him as an official.

So Chen E followed Li Ying back to the seat, but he secretly glanced at Xi Lingyan, if this woman knew about tonight's arrangement, it would be worth pondering.

Does it mean that Emperor Donghua also wants a share in Datang?

If the guess is true, it can only be said that Emperor Donghua's vision of people is not very good, and he actually bet his treasure on the present prince.

You know, Li Longji is only in his forties, and he is in excellent health, while the crown prince is nearly thirty years old. Even without Concubine Wu Hui's tricks, Li Longji can't tolerate this eldest son who is only ten years younger than himself.

The emperor and the prince are more like enemies. This is the cruel reality of the royal family.

……

In Daming Palace, Concubine Wu Hui was dragging her beloved daughter, Princess Xianyi, who had come to visit her, to talk, when suddenly a court lady was poking her head outside.

"Come in!"

Concubine Wu Hui noticed and beckoned.

"The servant has seen the empress."

The maid salutes.

"What's the matter?"

Concubine Wu Hui asked.

The palace maid glanced at Princess Xianyi, showing a look of hesitation but stopped talking.

"But it doesn't matter!"

Concubine Wu Hui waved her hand.

The maid then said: "Master Zhang invited Chen Zhuangyuan to participate in the poetry meeting in the Banquet Building. There were He Zhizhang, Li Bai, Wang Zhihuan and many others. The crown prince also hid himself in the white dragon fish suit."

"what?"

Concubine Wu Hui stood up, with a cold expression on her face, she said, "The Crown Prince is so daring to collude with foreign courts!"

Princess Xianyi was puzzled and said: "Mother, aren't they just a group of poets who can write two poems? What's the use of making friends with these people? Besides, Zhang Xiangjian failed to kill An Lushan today, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not far from losing power. Maybe just get together and recite a couple of poems for fun?"

"You do not understand!"

Concubine Wu Hui snorted, "Then Chen Zhuangyuan is not an ordinary person. Speaking of which, he has some connections with his mother..."

After telling her beloved daughter the information she had learned about Chen E, Concubine Wu Hui said again: "That Zhang Jiuling is a loyal traitor and traitor, if my mother's guess is correct, I'm afraid that I have the intention of leading Chen Zhuangyuan to the banquet building. "

"Oh?"

Princess Xianyi's beautiful eyes lit up: "Mother, I never thought that this person is the face of the Queen of Heaven. Could it be that there are living gods in the world?"

"Ok!"

Concubine Wu Hui nodded and said: "This person can communicate with ghosts and gods, and can meet the spirits of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong. Don't think he doesn't care about court affairs. In a dream, do you think His Majesty would dare to abolish the crown prince?"

Just as she was talking, Concubine Wu Hui gritted her teeth and said: "That Zhuzi pretends to be honest and honest all day long, maybe Chen Zhuangyuan can really be deceived, no, mother has to find a way to get rid of the crown prince, and send your elder brother to become the crown prince." place."

Princess Xianyi joined in and said: "What mother said is also true, it is better to strike first and suffer disaster later, why not leave this matter to Fuma, Fuma always wants to serve the court, mother will give him a chance, how about it? "

Princess Xianyi was sixteen years old and married Li Xian's grandson last year, that is, Yang Hui, the son of Princess Changning and Yang Shen.

"Forget it, don't tell him to worry, that old man Zhang Jiuling won't last long, don't let him fall into his hands at the end, my mother won't be able to talk!"

Concubine Wu Hui pondered for a while, then nodded.

"Mother, don't worry, the little girl will tell him!"

Princess Xianyi took Concubine Wu Hui's arm and said with a joyful smile.

……

Because Chen E's rude words at the beginning offended all the poets present, even if there was a prince to smooth things over, but the poets have romantic tendencies, or it can be called divorced from reality, so Chen E was always indifferent to Chen E. Li Bai was drunk and vomited continuously, which made the room smell sour, and the banquet broke up unhappy.

Xi Lingyan sent Chen E out and blamed, "Chen Zhuangyuan, did you do it on purpose?"

Chen E said dissatisfied: "Everyone Xi and Zhang Jiuling teamed up to set up a trap for me. I haven't had a fit yet, but you are better off, and blame me first. What kind of reasoning is this?"

"Okay, isn't it okay for my concubine to compensate Chen Zhuangyuan?"

Xi Lingyan burst into a smile, bowed to Chen E, and then asked: "Chen Zhuangyuan thinks those people can succeed?"

Chen E asked back: "Does the emperor intend to intervene in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty? Don't you care about Emperor Ziwei's face?"

Xi Lingyan said: "My concubine and senior brother came to Datang a hundred years ago. Could it be that they are really idle and bored to open a brothel to find fun? In fact, Datang is the most fertile place in Nanbuzhou. Emperor Ziwei was very dissatisfied with the fact that after he obtained the pure purple merit through the Tang Dynasty, he still dominated the Tang Dynasty and would not let go. Seeing that the opening of the underworld is approaching, not only the master, but other great powers may have laid a dark hand."

Chen E looked at Xi Lingyan and signaled to continue.

Xi Lingyan said again: "The four major continents in the world, Luzhou in the north are poor mountains and bad waters, let's not mention it, Xiniu Hezhou is the territory of Buddhism, Taoism will not interfere easily, Dongsheng Shenzhou is controlled by Sanqing through the heavenly court, if Chen Zhuangyuan With the status of the five elders, it may be difficult to occupy Yingzhou Xiandao for a long time.

The only thing left is Nanfangbuzhou. Who doesn't want to possess the luck of Nanfangbuzhou before the opening of the underworld. Emperor Ziwei is really not greedy enough, so he will be surrounded by wolves. "

"A pack of wolves waiting for a tiger?"

Chen E murmured, feeling inexplicably happy, thinking to himself, Great Emperor, you also have today, so she asked again: "So you support the crown prince?"
