Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 699 Fishing Bait
Invincible Chapter 727
Changsun Mansion

Changsun Wuji complained about Wei Zheng, an old fox, to his eldest son who came back with the caravan a few days ago.

"Wei Zheng, an old fox, probably feels that Youzhou is developing too fast, so he's a little uneasy."

"However, he didn't even think about it. The emperor is still young and vigorous. If the king of Youzhou really has any ambitions, why should we be restless?"

"Besides, King Youzhou's development with such great fanfare seems to be no problem. The time of the former King Yan was completely different from the current Youzhou."

"Low-key doesn't necessarily mean lack of ambition, and high-profile doesn't necessarily mean ambition. I think it's nothing more than what this old fox has heard, and he's trying to test me!"

This is not to be wary of King Youzhou, it is clear that even he is also on guard!

But Changsun Wuji really doesn't have any idea of ​​doing Conglong Gong at the moment. If he was replaced by him in the past, he must choose a prince, push him to the top, and then do Conglong Gong to benefit his descendants.

But here comes the problem. Among his sons, he has not found a single person who has inherited his political talent!
I don't know what's going on with these sons, their qualifications are all mediocre.

The one who can pull it up a little bit is the eldest son and eldest grandson Chong.

But Changsun Chong's official career was stuck in a narrow path, and now he has gone to become a big businessman.Although in name only his subordinates are doing business, Changsun Chong doesn't even have a name, but now who doesn't know that his son is very wealthy?
The left and right are nothing more than who is in power, and basically they will not let the eldest grandson rush back to become an official.

His eldest son will probably come back to inherit the title in the future, and he maintains some caravans under his command, so he will definitely have no shortage of money.

As for the other sons, maybe because the eldest son is rich, he can get a little more money after the separation.

In this case, his current status is enough to allow the descendants of Changsun Wuji to be blessed.

He is a neutral party, and he does not engage in nonsense, so he jumps out to look at the problem, but he can see it more clearly.The emperor's current princes don't have many fuel-efficient lamps!
Although the crown prince Li Chengqian was abolished, he was still the eldest son.Before the emperor appointed a prince, the former prince was still one of the candidates, even though Li Chengqian made mistakes in the past, which led to his being abolished.

But as long as Li Shimin didn't make it clear that the eldest son was completely kicked out of the candidate queue, then, before the final result came out, Li Chengqian still had some competitiveness.

Around Li Chengqian, there are still some people around, some are opportunists, who want to see if the former prince can bottom out and rebound.

Some are people with other purposes, including some descendants of aristocratic families.These people may not really want to see if the prince can succeed, but more, they are some "bait" cast by the aristocratic family.

Even Li Ke, the king of Wu who seemed the least likely to be the heir, now has some people gathered around him.

Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help sighing again.

"That's right, Wei Zheng, an old fox, feels that King Wu now has wings and is no longer the prince who had no competitiveness in the past. King Wu has the blood of the previous dynasty. If it continues to develop, it will not only be Wei Zheng, Even other people may not be willing to look at it like this."

So Wei Zheng's previous words were not necessarily guarding against King Youzhou or him, but more like..."

Chang Sun Chong answered, "It's to guard against the King of Wu."

That's right, Wei Zheng, the old fox, is really on guard against the King of Wu.

Not only Wei Zheng, but how many of those who made contributions to conquer the world with him at the beginning would be sincerely willing to give King Wu a chance to become the next emperor?

Not many!
Although the founding fathers of the country had no fear of the previous dynasty, they were also afraid that they would be liquidated by the new emperor when they grew old, and they were even more afraid that their descendants would fall into the hands of such people.

Listening to Changsun Wuji's emotion, Changsun Chong's way of thinking is much simpler.

Probably because in the past two or three years, he spent most of his time in Youzhou. After staying in that place for a long time, Chang Sun Chong's way of thinking has also changed somewhat.

Just like now, Chang Sun Chong thought, what is there to worry about?
Although he didn't dare to say that he was good at seeing people, but in the past two years, he traveled around with the caravan, and he really gained experience.

Although Wu Wang Li Ke has half of the blood of the previous dynasty, his heart is on the side of Datang!
Besides, it is impossible for Li Ke to betray Datang and restore the former dynasty.

In the previous dynasty, he was just a grandson, but in the Tang Dynasty, he was a legitimate prince and one of the heirs!Even because of his bloodline, the probability of this "one" being realized is infinitesimally small, but no matter how small, there is still a chance of succession, because his father is the emperor!He himself was a prince, he was crowned king, he was not provoked, and his father never said in public that there was nothing wrong with his son.

"Your Majesty has so many princes. Now that he is versatile in both civil and military affairs and treats people kindly and sincerely, King Wu is indeed the most outstanding one. It's a pity..."

Changsun Wuji kept quiet about the latter words.

But both father and son knew what followed the word "unfortunate".

It's a pity, why is it the child born to the emperor's daughter in the previous dynasty!
Although people outside all call the mother of King Wu Concubine Yang, in fact, it was not until the seventh year of Zhenguan that Concubine Yang was promoted from a concubine of the second rank to a concubine. She was not one of the four concubines, but just a "Concubine Yang".

Another concubine surnamed Yang in the harem, the daughter of Yang Xuanzheng, is Concubine Yang Shu. Although she is also Concubine Yang, she is a real and favored Concubine Yang.

Unlike the emperors and daughters of the previous dynasties, the mother was valued by the son, and the son was valued by the teacher at that time, so there was such a belated promotion.

It can be seen from this that Concubine Yang is not only embarrassing in status, but in the harem, the so-called emperor's favorite is like duckweed and has no foundation.

As the grandson of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, King Wu, even if he is talented in both civil and military affairs, needs double or even multiple efforts to be recognized by all officials.

Royal Palace
A beautiful woman was playing the piano. After a song, the beautiful woman sighed, and the maid at the side couldn't help persuading her: "Your Majesty, why are you sighing? Your Highness is praised by the emperor, shouldn't you be happy?"

The beauty is none other than Concubine Yang, the mother of King Wu.

Concubine Yang sighed: "I have two sons, one is too good and the other is too violent, how can I not sigh?"

"Your highnesses are both dragons and phoenixes among men, my lord, you are too difficult for yourself. If other lords have sons like your highnesses, they would have been very happy. Nowadays, no one knows that His Highness King Wu is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. A gentle and courteous person? Even the seven-year-olds outside know it, isn’t that a good thing?”

How could it be a good thing.

If the other princes have such a good reputation, they are naturally worthy of joy, but what is the use of her son having such a good reputation?
Even if he is praised as a sage in the world, the emperor still wouldn't consider making him the prince.

And the future of the prince who can't be the prince and is too good is worrying.
