Once Murong Baojie said this, it would be impossible to continue. Murong Baojie did not believe in Zhang Wenguan and others, and Zhang Wenguan and others did not believe in Murong Baojie and others. The two sides immediately started arguing.

Now that things have come to this point, there is actually no way out on both sides. Everyone knows in their hearts that the other party will definitely kill me.

Murong Baojie's faction was the first-hand war faction. They firmly supported Wu Meiniang and came to take power.

First of all, they supported Wu Meiniang at the beginning. How could they know if the prince was jealous of them? Even if the prince did not have jealous of them, the problem was that the prince would definitely rely on Zhang Wenguan and others as the prince ascended the throne, because Zhang Wenguan and others have always firmly supported the prince. As for Zhang Wenguan and his wife, they made a great oath, and the emperor asked him to be the prime minister, could he not be the one?

Will Zhang Wenguan and the others not hold grudges in their hearts?

Secondly, the war had already won, and they deserved to be rewarded by merits. As a result, as soon as the prince ascended the throne, Zhang Wenguan and others benefited, but they were in danger of their lives. Even if the prince did not blame them, who could guarantee that Zhang Wenguan and others would not retaliate against them?

This is directly related to their wealth and life. They dare not say that the emperor will ascend the throne. They just have to delay. Now that there are so many things that are not handled carefully, the country will finish it. The prince cannot handle it. Let the empress take charge of government affairs first, and the prince will ascend the throne, and we will talk about it later.

No matter how Wu Meiniang made a statement, they would not give in. In addition, there were merchants supporting them. The merchants were rich and had military supplies, which made them more confident. In the past, military supplies were all in the hands of the court, and at this time, merchants were allowed to produce weapons.

Shangguan Yi and the others would never agree to this point. They felt that this was too unreasonable. The emperor passed away and refused to let the prince ascend the throne. Such a thing had never happened. They also knew what Murong Baojie was thinking. If they compromised, they would have nothing to play.

The two sides were quarreling upside down and they couldn't get along, but they ended up with disagreement.

Cui Jieren and others, who had watched the drama for a long time, walked out of the hall leisurely in the end.

"What should we do?" Changsun Yan asked with a frown.

They did not express their opinions because they were really unsure of their minds. It seems that it would be wrong to not participate in such things, and it would be wrong to participate. Anyway, no matter how they do it, it is wrong.

Wang Xuandao smiled and said, "Continue to watch the show."

Changsun Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

Cui Jie Bian said: "What are you anxious about? They can't get this result."

"How do you say this?"

"Did you forget that there is another very important person who has not made a statement?"

"What are you talking about?" Changsun Yan opened his eyes.

Cui Jieren nodded and said, "After Sikong's death, Shangshu Ling naturally became the first person in the dynasty, and at this time he was the commander of the three armies, holding military power. Nothing would happen until he made a statement."

Wang Xuandao thoughtfully said, "It's a coincidence. At the most critical moment of the return, Shangshu Ling was not present. This was the case last time, and this time again."

Cui Jieren glanced at Wang Xuandao and stopped talking

Originally, both sides were still hiding, but they were just competing in secret, but now, the two sides began to directly confront each other, not only in the court, but also among the people.

Whether it is a Confucian or a Taoist, most scholars support the prince. They take this as a matter of course. To prevent the prince from ascending the throne is a great act of deeds and unforgivable.

But today the industrial and commercial class has also begun to emerge, and they firmly support Wu Meiniang.

In fact, for the industrial and commercial class, they don’t care who will inherit the throne. They are asking for status and rights for themselves. In the past, they were suppressed by scholars, but now they are different from the past. The merchants suddenly found that they were so awesome, so they cannot be decided by your scholars. We can also make the country strong and make life in the world. I can still make money by myself, without the need for the salary of the court to support them.

This is not a traditional struggle between scholars and common people, but a struggle between new forces and old forces. Many nobles support merchants, and of course many poor families are from conservatives.

But this is a very abnormal thing. It has never happened before. When the scholars, scholars and scholars saw that these merchants were so arrogant and dared to openly challenge the court, they were stunned. This really scared them. Otherwise, if the merchants were suppressed, the merchants would ride on their heads in the future. The merchants' actions completely angered these scholars and officials, and made them feel a little scared. They immediately published an article in the gentry daily, cursing the merchants and demanding that the court adopt a policy of suppressing business.

Yuan Xi immediately stood up. Look, their ugly faces have been revealed. If we lose, we will be over. They will definitely kill us.

Some businessmen who are afraid of troubles have now joined the Yuan family camp, and everyone is united together to keep warm. The industrial and commercial class is unprecedentedly united. Today's workers and merchants are on the same front, because craftsmen were not favored, but merchants have raised the status of craftsmen. Those craftsmen with craftsmen gave them high enough treatment, but politicians never look down on them. Moreover, workers can become merchants with one invention and can be converted into each other. They are definitely on the same side.

Those farmers are also on the side of merchants. They are actually merchants. If they want to go back to the past, the court would not allow them to own so much land, which would definitely curb land annexation. According to the literati, they should go back to the past. They could have been out of the matter because the farmer's identity is quite special. In fact, they are landlords and should be represented by the old forces. However, they are closely related to the interests of merchants. Merchants are their biggest customers.

How could the East Palace not know about the quarrel outside?

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Li Hong looked at his teacher Guo Yu with a nervous look on his face.

The prince usually has many teachers, and Zhang Wenguan and others are also the prince's teachers, but Zhang Wenguan and others are mostly ministers in the Eastern Palace, which is equivalent to assisting the prince. However, Guo Yu is a pure teacher. He is only responsible for teaching the prince's knowledge. He rarely cares about political matters, but it is precisely because of this that he has always followed the prince and is the person he trusts the most.

"This matter was ruined by Zhang Wenguan and others!"

Guo Yu sighed and looked at Li Hongdao: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the matter of Your Highness ascends to the throne can actually be slowed down, because the difficulties faced by the court at this time are far more than during the war. Your Highness, you may not be able to handle those things well, and Zhang Wenguan and others are so anxious that they are afraid of power.

In fact, the best way is to postpone the ascension of the throne in the name of filial piety, let the queen deal with the matter after the war first, and your highness, you will come out and ascend the throne. Then there will be no excuses for everyone, and no one will be afraid of it. Now, everyone is actually not about who ascending the throne, but about their own wealth and life. At this time, the country is so fragile that the Tang Dynasty may fall apart if it is not a good deal."

In fact, he is a very smart person, otherwise he would not have stayed with the prince. It was just that he was not as good as Han Yi. All of this was set by Han Yi. He suddenly thought of this after the incident broke out. At first, he also thought that the prince should ascend the throne, but he did not expect that the merchant would come out to challenge.

There was also a hint of complaint between Li Hong's eyebrows. Of course, he wanted to inherit the throne. It was impossible to say that he didn't want it, but he might not want to clean up this mess, because if he didn't do it well, he would lose the country. Even when Li Shimin was worried for many days in the face of the Central Plains that were to be rebuilt, he had worked hard for many days, and took more than ten or twenty years to revitalize the Tang Dynasty step by step. This was definitely not an easy job. He also hoped that Wu Meiniang would clean up the mess by the way, but it was impossible now. Zhang Wenguan and others were a little too active and did not care about Li Hong's inner thoughts. They thought it was for granted.

After a while, Li Hong asked, "What should I do?"

Guo Yu thought for a little while and said, "Your Highness must be calm at this time. In fact, no one dares to target you now. They also know that you are innocent and respect you in both languages. But if you stand up, they may target you. In that case, it will be even worse. After all, the situation is confusing now. Prince, you should go to the late emperor to keep mourning, don't participate in their fights, and wait and see, because they can't get a result for the time being."

“Why?”

"Because Shangshu Ling has not come back yet, Shangshu Ling is still in command of the three armies. Even if they decide the outcome, it cannot represent anything. If Shangshu Ling does not agree, he can overthrow it completely because he has the ability."

Li Hong nodded thoughtfully.

Guo Yu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, I dare to ask, what did the late emperor say before his death?"

Li Hong was stunned and sighed: "Actually, the father said nothing before his death. Although the father woke up once before his death, the father could no longer speak. The father just held my hand in the hand of the mother. The mother thought that the father meant to let me inherit the throne."

Guo Yu nodded slightly when he heard this.

Li Hongdao: "Teacher, why are you asking about this?"

Guo Yu was struggling for a while and sighed: "Your Highness, you are not narrow-minded, but anyone may take risks in this kind of thing. Therefore, your Highness should be vigilant and no one can believe it."

After hearing this, Li Hong couldn't help frowning.

Guo Yu did not forget that Wu Meiniang was a very ambitious woman. The reason why everyone gradually forgot this was because after the last crisis, Wu Meiniang seemed to have really changed her mind and made up for her. But since she had this ambition, she had to be careful of her. Maybe she didn't think much about it during this period, but now, with such a large group of people supporting her, would she really not be moved? No one knows this.

Yang Mansion.

"I wonder if the general dares to be Duke Lu?"

Zhang Wenguan said to Yang Sine with anticipation.

But it would be fine if he didn't mention it. When he mentioned Cheng Yaojin, Yang Sine immediately felt that this matter had changed a little!

When Li Zhi ascended the throne, not everyone actually obeyed him. Many people supported Li Tai. It was Cheng Yaojin who led the imperial guards to wait for Li Zhi day and night to allow Li Zhi to ascend the throne smoothly.

But the problem is that because of Changsun Wuji's incident, Li Zhi had designed to frame Cheng Yaojin. Although no one could see it at that time, now thinking about it, everyone still smelled a trace of conspiracy. How could Wang Wendu subdue Cheng Yaojin? This is a little strange, and since then, Cheng Yaojin has never been concerned about the government affairs in the court again.

Yang Sine is now in Cheng Yaojin's position at that time. Thinking about Cheng Yaojin's fate, why would he still be Cheng Yaojin, and said, "Zhang Shizhong, if I dispatch the imperial guards, the other party will definitely be anxious. The consequences are really big or small. Besides, the Shangshu Ling and General Qi Zhu have not returned to the court yet, so why would he wait for them to come back before talking."

Zhang Wenguan couldn't help frowning. Suddenly, he remembered the army outside. If there was a fire in Chang'an, Han Yi would be very likely to be malicious. It would really be a change of dynasty. The snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman would benefit. Since they were promoted through force, Han Yi could of course use force to solve the problem.

Yang Sine said again: "But don't worry, if Murong Baojie and the others dare to act rashly, I will fight with them and will never let them hurt the prince."

Although Zhang Wenguan was a little disappointed, there was no way. Now everyone is still restrained. The key is that there is still a large army outside, and all the generals who can conquer and fight in the Tang Dynasty were outside, which is really terrible.

Xiao Mansion.

"Wuyi, why have you been back so early these days?"

Yuan Mudan returned to Xiao’s mansion and found Xiao Wuyi sitting on the couch, eating fruits, and was surprised.

Xiao Wuyi said depressedly: "I haven't been to the Women's Federation Bureau these days."

“Why?”

"I'm afraid I can't control myself." Xiao Wuyi said: "I think it's okay for a man to be a king for so long, and it's okay to try another woman. Oh, but if I want to express my opinion, it may implicate my husband."

Maybe it doesn't matter if you express your opinion at all. Yuan Mudan muttered to herself, but still showed a gratified smile on her face.

With Xiao Wuyi's personality, she would definitely not be able to help her if she wanted to leave this family. She would definitely support Wu Meiniang. She was originally a maverick, and later became Han Yi's wife. Her personality had not changed at all. She definitely wanted a woman to be the emperor, but she knew that her identity was quite special. If she wanted to express her opinion, she would definitely think of Han Yi.

"Sister Mudan, I heard that your Yuan family has been doing a lot of things recently!"

Yuan Mudan nodded and said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with me, it was decided by my uncle and the others."

Xiao Wuyi asked again: "Then how do you think?"

Yuan Mudan sighed and said, "I don't know either."

.

Chang'an Wharf.

"What's going on? These are just a few ships?"

Zhang Daxiang looked at the food and grass docking on the wharf, and was deeply surprised, and then looked at Zheng Shanxing beside him.

Zheng Shanxing shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

After a while, I saw a few men in uniforms getting off the boat.

Zhang Daxiang hurried over and asked, "Why are these ships? Are these grain ships from Yuanzhou and Shangzhou?"

The man said, "Report to Mr. Zhang, this is indeed a grain ship from Shangzhou, but when he passed through the three gates, the merchants suddenly transported all the grain to their warehouses, and the officials didn't know what was going on."

"What?"

Zhang Daxiang frowned and said, "How could they do this? It's so outrageous."

Zheng Shanxing couldn't help but sighed heavily when he heard this.

The merchants are now very quarrel with the scholars. You scholars are so powerful and we are so humble. Then you can bring out the food and come to us when you help. The river has not been completed, so you want to demolish the bridge. So you should do it yourself.

As for the taxation, the merchants said that they would not pay the tax. If you pay back the money first, we will pay the tax. Now that things have come, they will all sacrifice their money.

East of the city!
