Chapter 691: Faintly wanting to be abolished
Although Li Yu had been hungry for a long time, he had no appetite when he looked at the steaming meatloaf in front of him, but because of the eager gaze of the Emperor Taishang, he had to reluctantly eat a few bites.
"Before you came here, did you go to Qin Jin?"
was secretly thinking about it, and Li Longji asked again, and Li Yu subconsciously replied before he could think about it:
"Grandson has indeed been to Qin Jin!"
"If it's true, you won't see it!"
Li Yu asked in surprise:
"How can Grandfather Huang guess?"
"You doll, do you think that your grandfather has lived in vain at this age? Although he is already a person who has gone into the coffin for most of his body, he has not lost his ability to look at people!"
Li Yu was silent, he was a little disapproving, he really wanted to ask the emperor, since he has a set of people, why did he misuse An Lushan? It's just that this kind of thinking can only go around in a circle in his stomach, but he definitely doesn't dare to ask.
"Do you want to know why Qin Jin didn't see you?"
"Grandson naturally wants to know, please ask the imperial grandfather to solve the doubt!"
Li Longji straightened his bent waist, and finally failed to straighten his body, so he had to give up and get rickety again.
"Have you heard of Qin Jin asking for punishment a while ago?"
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that since the Emperor Taishang mentioned this matter, at that time, everyone inside and outside Chang'an, where Qin Jin invited himself to be punished, knew about it, and everyone praised it with his thumbs, but what does it have to do with the topic he wants to talk about now?
"Qin Jin asked for punishment because he wanted to uphold the law he had made, although I didn't want to agree, I had to admit that no one could shake his determination to adhere to the law!"
Li Longji has always been based on power and art, and the law is just a façade to provide convenience for him, while Qin Jin did the opposite, insisting that the law and order come first and power and art last. It doesn't hurt to govern the army in this way, but if it is extended to the government, although it will have a positive effect, it will also be like a double-edged sword, shackling the hands and feet of the Son of Heaven. Once this kind of law is formed in the court, it will be maintained together, and it is difficult for anyone to shake it.
This is Li Longji's hidden concern, and he mentioned some of the key points not to let Li Yu understand these things, but to have other intentions. After speaking, he stared at Li Yu intently, watching his reaction.
After a long time, Li Yu asked and answered in an unwilling tone.
"Could it be that Dr. Qin also opposes the pardon of the sins of those eunuchs? How can they, who are just victims of the power struggle, not find out the mastermind behind the scenes?
Li Longji shook his head slightly, and he suddenly realized that Li Yu actually had a broad side, and which of the civil and military officials from all over the court was blind? Could it be that they couldn't see who was behind the scenes?
As far as the truth is concerned, no matter which one can see, but who dares to stand up and accuse the mastermind of the tomb?
"The main messenger?
"Imperial Grandfather ......"
Li Yu was stunned, he didn't expect the Emperor Taishang to speak so bluntly, and he was a little speechless for a while.
Without waiting for Li Yu to come to his senses, Li Longji took out one of the volumes from the stacked volumes on the case, copied it in his hand and handed it to him.
"This is the 'Law Theory' that Qin Jin presented to the Political Affairs Hall, you can take it and take a look. ”
Li Yu is another stranger, he also heard for the first time that Qin Jin would make this kind of article, the world knows that Qin Jin is good at generals and good at fighting, but it is the first time that he has heard that he can also make a fuss.
Looking at Li Yu's slightly exaggerated expression, Li Longji smiled:
"Have you all forgotten? Qin Jin is a Jinshi of Tianbao for ten years, and he is also one of the best people in a million in terms of talent and learning, and ordinary ministers are far worse than him!"
After Li Longji's reminder, Li Yu also remembered that Qin Jin was indeed a jinshi in the Tianbao period. There is a saying in officialdom. "Thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi", which means that thirty years old is already very old, and fifty years old is considered young.
Qin Jin is still less than a year old, and everything in civil and military affairs is outstanding, which is really admirable.
Li Yu looked at the volume of "Treatise on Laws and Orders" with this complex emotion of shock and emotion, the text of which was only more than 1,000 words, probably a summary and general commentary, but it took the trouble to expound a point of view, that is, the law comes first.
Li Longji pointed to one of the sentences in the volume and said:
"The law does not punish the heart, although the mastermind behind the scenes has ill intentions, it is difficult to add to the crime! This is the reason why Qin Jin didn't see you!"
In fact, when Li Longji said this, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart and it was inconvenient to explain it to Li Yu, which was just an intuition, without any basis for support. That is, he vaguely felt that Qin Jin seemed to be quite jealous of Li Fuguo and others, as for why he had such an intuition, it was difficult to explain the reason.
Li Yu suddenly realized.
"No wonder everyone is watching from the wall, it turns out that they are all afraid of ......"
The words came to an abrupt end here, and Li Yu was angry, but he still figured out the key to it, who can say that the dozens of eunuchs to be slaughtered are really innocent? It is true that they have been used, so don't they have an ulterior motive for themselves?
It is not to be said that what they have done has violated two murderous crimes in a row, and if the practice of reverence in troubled times is followed, it is already a blessing to kill only those who are killed.
Suddenly, Li Yu saw a cold light flashing in the emperor's cloudy eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder. Another thought suddenly jumped out of his mind, who said that Qin Jin would let go of the mastermind behind the scenes? Unless Li Fuguo never does evil again, sooner or later he must be controlled by the law!
"Grandson understood!"
Li Yu's attitude changed quickly, from simple sympathy for those who were about to die, to a rational face.
However, Li Longji still shook his head secretly. He and Li Heng obviously have too many expectations for this person who will inherit the unification in the future, but unfortunately Li Yu can't be ruthless and simple-minded, this is indeed a good person, but it is by no means the quality that a son of heaven should have.
Li Longji has been understanding the joints since he was in his twenties.
The people of the Son of Heaven are destined to have no father, no mother, no children and no daughters!
This is not to say that the people of the Son of Heaven must abandon their parents and children, but to cut off all the ties one by one, no matter who they are, for the sake of the country, they must not be sacrificed!
Thinking of this, Li Longji glanced at his grandson, who was still in ignorance, and sighed. After all, he grew up under the protection of Li Heng, unlike himself, when the Empress Wu was in power, no one could give him the protection he deserved, and he grew up in an environment of precariousness and deceit, and naturally became a lot more ruthless.
Li Yu attributed all problems to simplicity, which was precisely the taboo of being in the political situation. As a superior, all problems must be analyzed and judged in a complex manner, and when it comes to proposing a solution, the simpler the better. If he doesn't understand this truth, he will often sway around under the influence of various seemingly reasonable facts.
However, Li Longji had no intention of preaching to him, but believed that as the heir of the Tang Dynasty, he would understand it one day in person!
Li Longji is now in his old age, and he has never had real warmth for all his sons, and he has been guarding against them and plotting against them all his life. The princes also feared more than they respected this man who was also the son of heaven and the father. He has long been accustomed to this situation, but today, I don't know how, when he saw his grandson Li Yu coming overnight, the already cold and hard place in his chest seemed to have softened a lot.
"Grandfather has supported you in any decision, and now, are you still the same as you were when you came?"
Li Yu hesitated, he asked himself, do you really want to save those eunuchs? Is justice and true evil only going to fall on those unbearable people? After checking the scroll in his hand, he finally chose to believe Qin Jin, after all, this person has never disappointed him since he presided over the defense of Chang'an.
……
Outside Chang'an City, Lou Tingyi. There were hundreds of horses tied to the stables at one time, and the small inn had never received so many people and horses. Because this place is only ten miles away from Chang'an, most people will choose to hurry up a few steps and rush to the city as soon as possible to spend the night, unless they miss the hour, and have to rest here for the night.
Cheng San, the post officer, sat on the stone plate in the courtyard, tilted his head curiously, and listened attentively to the discussion of those people in the hall who were talking loudly and quietly.
The identities of these people are not ordinary, they all use the customs clearance documents of the Left Guard, but they feel it out in the third process, so it is just a deliberate low-key cover-up, and their real identity may be related to the Son of Heaven. The man in the lead looked to be around forty, but he had no beard under his chin, and he was clearly a eunuch.
Although eunuchs are untouchables and are despised by the world, eunuchs also have unique advantages. That is the identity of the Son of Heaven's domestic slave, and with this, he has even won the trust of the Son of Heaven more than those important ministers of the imperial court, and in the early years, Bian Lingcheng was not sent by the Son of Heaven to the Western Regions to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? Later, what else was Cheng Yuanzhen and Yu Chaoen were also in the limelight. As for the power-leaning Gao Lishi, he is even more powerful, and even the prime minister does not dare to offend easily. Calculated carefully, although the eunuchs are lowly, once they are developed, they will be the dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they must not be underestimated.
"Can you see it?"
"I can see it clearly, King Guangping entered Xingqing Palace at night and stayed for an hour and a half before coming out. ”
"Who would have thought that in the end, it would be the king of Guangping who grabbed us and didn't let us go! Father-in-law, it's better to ......"
Syllable!
A crisp slap came from inside the hall.
"Bastards, bastards, how can you wastes who have not achieved enough things to do and more than enough to do things say to export......
Hearing these words so clearly, Cheng San's heart san, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, and he shivered all over his body on a hot day.
Good mother, where did these people come from......
