After Wang Pingan poured two cups of tea, he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for more than ten days: "Father, what do you think is the purpose of His Majesty letting Li Xian come back?"

Wang Zheng picked up the teacup and drank it all, then sighed and said, "What purpose could it have? It's just to put some pressure on the prince. Even if he's the emperor, there are many things that can't be said openly.

Especially when the prince is self-righteous, it is even more difficult to say. It depends on the prince himself to understand it. If he can figure it out and make the right choice, he is still the prince.

If you can't figure it out, or if you figure it out but don't make the right choice, then you will most likely become a commoner. This is the best outcome for the crown prince, after all, the position of crown prince means you can't get out of it unscathed."

Wang Pingan was shocked, "It shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Not really?"

Wang Zheng smiled, a little sadly, "Power is definitely the most fascinating thing in this world. You know, the essence of power is control and domination. Is there anything more satisfying than dominating others?

After all, if there is no crown prince attending court to participate in state affairs, it would be completely against the rules for the queen to rule. Only when the crown prince attends court would the queen's rule be recognized by the ministers.

Wang Zheng nodded and continued to explain: "No matter how poor your majesty's health is, it is absolutely impossible for you to give up the power in your hands. After all, the example of Emperor Gaozu is there.

The current court has become a whirlpool. With your experience, Brother Li Cheng, you have been plotted against without knowing it. Given your relationship with the Crown Prince, you will be easily dragged into it.

It’s almost time for dinner, Xiao Yuehua and the others should be back soon.”

"Judging from the current situation, things will most likely develop in this way."

At this time, Luo Xiaomei knocked on the door, walked in, and smiled at the two of them: "Have you two finished your chat?

In fact, it was not just the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty that were like this. Even in the dynasties after the aristocratic families disappeared, ministers also continued to infringe on the interests of the country in the name of loyalty.

Wang Pingan was silent, thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no way, father?"

If they could allow the prince to govern, not only would they feel more relaxed, but they would also be able to secretly gain a number of benefits. Even if they were held accountable in the end, the punishment they received would be much lighter due to the prince's kindness.

Now I have figured it out. It is difficult to grow up without going through setbacks. You will know the answers to many things only after you have experienced them. I just hope that after the dust settles, I can still pull him out of this situation. "

Wang Ping'an smiled bitterly. There was no need to think too much about this kind of thing. It was basically an instinct for the aristocratic families to poach talents from the imperial court.

It’s safer to stay in Nanzhao.”

Wang Ping'an smiled bitterly and asked, "Father, do you mean that Senior Brother Crown Prince will be abolished in the end?"

In fact, if you just look at how the aristocratic families live and how large their groups are, you can basically tell whether they are truly loyal to the country or have other intentions. "

So those guys were brainwashing the prince all the time, always instilling the principles of kindness into him, while condemning the queen for her cruelty.

"No."

Those who fail to see this point will most likely end up going to the Western Regions.

Of course, such things cannot be recorded and can only be passed on by word of mouth. After all, everyone has to save face.

It cannot be said that they cannot see clearly. Many people may have seen clearly, but their minds are blinded by interests, or they think they can give it a try. After all, in their opinion, the prince's governing philosophy is much softer than that of the empress.

With their knowledge, they can always find the Queen's inappropriate behavior in various ancient books, and they can always find various ways of handling things by a benevolent monarch, which makes the Prince dislike the Queen little by little.

The father and son then talked a lot, and Wang Zheng basically analyzed everything to his son, and finally persuaded him: "So, this is why I let you stay in Nanzhao.

The supreme position is the pinnacle of power. For that position, haven’t there been enough cases of close relatives killing each other over the past thousand years?

For example, the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty.

The current situation in the Tang Dynasty was hard-won. Once the court is in turmoil, many people and things will inevitably be affected. If there was a way, I would have used it long ago. Why would I be trapped in the Grand Steward's Mansion?

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Empress, empress, and crown prince, if any one of them is unstable, it will actually cause unrest in the court. After all, there are many court officials around these three positions. Once a problem occurs, it will inevitably implicate many people.

Until now, I think not only the prince believed it, but also the ministers who had originally plotted against the prince believed it themselves, right? Even if they go to Mobei in the end, I think most of them will still think they are righteous, and everything they do is for the Tang Dynasty, not for their own interests. "

Once a person, especially a smart person, is in a self-righteous state, he or she has to get out of it by himself or herself. The words of outsiders are unlikely to have any effect.

Wang Pingan was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Is there such a person?"

The existence of Her Majesty is the greatest code that His Majesty can control. The role of the Crown Prince at this stage is only to protect His Majesty from the criticism of the court officials.

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "There are so many loyal ministers in the past dynasties. How many of them do you think are truly loyal to the emperor? If it were a normal thing, it would not be recorded at all, just like no book would teach a person how to eat.

Wang Pingan nodded, "Okay, then I will stay in Nanzhao from now on. In fact, I also like Nanzhao. Not only is there not so much calculation, but I can also do something."

Don’t talk about the distant past. From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, many of the emperor’s descendants have died because of that position.”

Wang Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "There is no such thing as an incomplete conversation. Let's go out and talk while we eat."

Wang Ping'an smiled and nodded, then stood up and followed Wang Zheng out.

Luo Xiaomei grabbed her son's hand and said with a smile, "Ping An, do you have any favorite woman in Nanzhao?"

Wang Pingan was stunned, stopped, turned around and faced Luo Xiaomei, pointed at his nose and said, "Mother, take a good look at your son. Is your son old enough to get married now?"

"I'm not talking about marriage, I'm just asking if you have a girl you like. Isn't it natural for a young man to admire a girl?"
