Chapter 307 Prince
Weng Tailai is an old man, how could he not understand Luo Tianbao's tactics? At that time, he sneered: "Okay, you know you can't fight, but you use good words to stabilize me first. This scheming is like your father's demeanor back then, but boy, you
Don't worry, old monk, I have a clear grudge. What I hate is your father. You should have been wetting the bed when we became enemies. I can't blame you for this. I just didn't expect that your father is not enough to dominate the world, and now he actually raises an army.
Competing with the heroes of the world, his ambitious temper has really not changed at all."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel embarrassed after hearing this. How could he answer this? At this time, everyone else present saw Luo Tianbao's embarrassment. Cui Ying immediately came to his rescue and said: "Master, you are serious. Now the Lin family and his son
I have surrendered to the imperial court, and from now on I will contribute to the country together with you, so we should all be as close as possible."
Yifeng heard this and sneered: "Don't worry, Guest Cui. The old monk just met Almsgiver Lin and his old feelings were touched, so we just chatted for a few more words. Not to mention that the old monk is now a monk. Even for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince, the old monk
You won’t be in trouble with him.”
At this time, Lu Yan heard this and hurriedly said: "That's the best. Your Highness is hosting Lin Yishi for a banquet today. It's a rare opportunity. Let's not ruin each other's harmony. I suggest that everyone first toast to the Crown Prince and wish His Highness a long life."
As soon as this statement came out, Luo Tianbao and others felt that it was reasonable, and they immediately raised their glasses. Yifeng was a monk and did not drink. He had a cup of tea in front of him. He also raised it to greet the prince. Upon seeing this, the prince also raised his glass to everyone.
With a slight gesture, he drank the contents of the cup in one gulp, and the banquet officially began.
At first, the prince and Luo Tianbao chatted about their parents' stories and their experiences in the world. They felt that they were similar to ordinary people of the same age. Luo Tianbao even found that the prince was particularly interested in the affairs of the world. When Luo Tianbao introduced some of his experiences, he seemed a little fascinated.
.
"Well, Yishi Lin is actually able to make great achievements and dominate the martial arts at such a young age. It is really enviable. Although he has a noble status, he is like a caged bird and cannot be free." The prince said and suddenly let out a long sigh.
Luo Tianbao heard that he was quite disapproving, secretly thinking that you are the current crown prince, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, your wealth and splendor have reached the extreme, many people can't even dream of living like you, but you yourself still look shameless.
You look so satisfied, can you bear to eat and sleep outside? It's really a bit pretentious, but he certainly wouldn't dare to say this in front of the prince, so he could only smile and say: "Prince, you are the crown prince of a country, assisting the emperor.
The burden of governing all nations is much heavier than ours, so even if it is inconvenient, it is still due to our responsibility."
The prince couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this: "What Lin Yishi said is reasonable, but you don't know that Gu is not complaining without reason."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what the prince's words were referring to. At this time, Lu Yan clearly saw it and quickly answered: "There are no outsiders at the banquet today. We will say some things directly, Lin Yishi
What I don’t know is that although the prince is now in the East Palace and has a distinguished status, he is ostracized everywhere and his life is difficult."
Luo Tianbao couldn't help but feel something in his heart when he heard this. He knew that this was the main topic. In fact, he had vaguely guessed what Lu Yan was referring to. However, in this situation, he had to pay attention to his words and deeds, so Luo Tianbao deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "
How could such a thing happen? The prince is the crown prince of a country, who dares to do such a thing?"
At this time, Cui Ying said: "It has been some time since Lin Yishi came to Chengtian, and he has heard many things that he has heard about, so why should he ask questions knowingly? Nowadays, the imperial court regards the prince as a thorn in his side, and besides Empress Zhang and Li Guozhong, there are other people who are thorns in the flesh.
Who is there?"
Luo Tianbao was secretly surprised when he heard Cui Ying's words. In fact, as the other party said, Luo Tianbao had heard about these things before. The prince's biological mother was actually the prince's concubine who died to protect the emperor.
The current Empress Zhang is actually his concubine, and after being established as the mother of the country, Empress Zhang wanted to make her own son the crown prince. This was originally human nature, but it was inevitable that she would have conflicts with the prince.
Empress Zhang knew that it was not easy to move to the crown prince, so on the one hand, she actively flattered the emperor and consolidated the status of her mother and son. On the other hand, she cultivated party members in the court. Now she has a group of influential people around her.
, the leader among them is Li Guozhong, the general of the auxiliary state. This group of people is also called the "rear party" by the outside world. As the prince is now the official crown prince, he naturally has a group of supporters around him. This group of people is relatively called the "princeling party".
, and its representative is the current Prime Minister Linghu Min. The two groups are now fighting fiercely.
Luo Tianbao has heard these things said countless times by others, and now it seems that the prince is trying to pull his father and son to his side. It stands to reason that Luo Tianbao has a good impression of the prince personally, and the other person is now the legitimate crown prince, so he supports him.
It seemed reasonable and reasonable, but that would definitely offend Queen Zhang's party. Luo Tianbao did not dare to make such a big decision easily, so he could only vaguely say: "The grassroots were born in the green forest and knew very little about the affairs of the imperial court. I really didn't dare to make any rash comments at the moment.
.”
Everyone present looked at each other and understood that Luo Tianbao was not willing to stand in line too early and told lies. They were not in a hurry at the moment and just listened to Cui Ying saying: "Xian and his son have been in the East China Sea for a long time, and they don't know much about the affairs of the court."
It is reasonable to say that the Queen is the current mother of the country. Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince and we are not willing to antagonize her. However, people are unpredictable. The Queen only wants to support King Yong as the Crown Prince. For this reason, she does not hesitate to fight against different parties and shake the foundation of the country.
Not to mention that the prince is wise and benevolent, even if there are indeed shortcomings, the queen, as a concubine, should first teach and correct her. Her actions now are undoubtedly against justice and law. Once this sets a precedent, the court will be in chaos in the future. A virtuous father and son will be loyal.
People must be able to distinguish right from wrong and act according to reason."
Cui Ying's words were high-sounding, and it was difficult to find fault with them on the surface. However, Luo Tianbao had his own ideas. He had not had much contact with the prince. Although the prince had left a good impression on him so far, he was still worthy of assisting Luo Tianbao.
There is still a question mark in my heart, not to mention that even if the prince is really right in this matter, sometimes it doesn't matter whether you are righteous in the power struggle. If the prince really loses in the end, his father and son will inevitably be affected. Such a huge risk sometimes
Even relatives and friends may not be willing to agree, not to mention that his father and son must have no friendship with the prince. Of course, Luo Tianbao does not dare to offend the prince at the moment, so he can only say: "Everything Cui Bin said is reasonable, and Lin is willing to work with the prince for the sake of it."
The country has contributed, but it is difficult for me to make the decision on such a big matter by myself, so I have to go back and ask my father for instructions."
Luo Tianbao's intention is very clear that he is using his father as a shield. The latter is the actual leader of the rebel army, while privately he is his father. There is nothing he can do if he doesn't agree to Luo Tianbao. The prince and others are all veterans in politics.
, how could you not understand what he was thinking? But these people were not in a hurry at the time.
Just listen to the prince say: "This is natural. In fact, as long as the virtuous father and son are willing to contribute to the country, no matter what the final decision is, I will not complain. Today is just to show you that I want to make friends with your father and son. That's fine, we won't talk about it.
