Chapter 120: Planting
Why the Turks again? When Jinyang raised troops, the Turks fully supported the Tang Dynasty. Because the shape is changing, as the Li Tang Dynasty becomes stronger day by day, the Turks are afraid, afraid that one day this emerging dynasty will break free from their own control, so they have successively supported Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Liu Heimin and other separatist forces, trying to let them play a role in counterbalancing Li Tang. It's a pity that these separatist forces are not angry, and they were wiped out one by one by Li Shimin with a left fist and a right palm!
The battle of flooding Liu Heimin can be said to be the most fierce battle in the history of Li Shimin's reunification war, so fierce that after Shimin came down from the battlefield, everyone found that he had been slashed three times in the chest, stabbed twice in the back, and shot four arrows in the thigh. But the war horse under the crotch was not so lucky, it was hit by six arrows in the front chest, three arrows in the back, after the people returned to the camp, the fist Mao Mao died of detachment. So far, all the six horses of Zhaoling have been killed in battle, and they have witnessed Li Shimin's thrilling military career.
After the people defeated Liu Heimin, they pacified Xu Yuanlang, who responded to Liu Heimin's rebellion, and returned to Chang'an in early July.
There were a lot of courtiers who followed Li Yuan to pick up the people, Li Ke sat in the car, his little head poked out to watch the excitement, and suddenly, he said: "Mother, I know that person." ”
Zixuan was shocked when he heard this, Li Ke stayed in the Qin Palace, how could he know the courtiers? Zixuan hurriedly stretched out his head to look, "Ke'er, who do you know?" ”
"That's the man."
Zixuan looked in the direction Ke'er pointed, and the eagle hooked nose of the sign was the eldest grandson Wuji, "Ke'er, how do you know him?" ”
Li Ke said: "He taught Ke'er to make the windmill fly, and then the windmill fell into the lake, so he asked Ke'er to pick it up, and then Ke'er fell into the lake." ”
Sure enough, Huaijun's death was not an accident! But what Zixuan didn't expect was that this matter was not only related to the eldest grandson Wuji, but also the eldest grandson Wuji did it himself. I have to say that this is a clever plan, let Ke'er walk into the lake by herself, and there are no clues to check. But they did everything they could, and they missed Huaijun's love for their son, and they didn't expect that a three- or four-year-old child would be able to remember this qiē. Do you want to sue the people? Zixuan weighed it in his heart, no! The people of the world can turn their faces with the eldest grandson Wuji, but they can't turn their faces with the eldest grandson Wuji, in the future battle for succession, the eldest grandson Wuji is the most staunch supporter of the people, and the people can't let the people break with him. So, Zixuan said to Li Ke: "Ke'er, just know about this matter, don't tell others anymore." ”
Ke'er nodded obediently.
Shimin left the battlefield and returned to Chang'an, that is, to the court, to the center of the power struggle.
At that time, the layout of the imperial palace was like this: the palace of the king of Qin was actually the original Chengqian Palace; The Qi Palace's Mansion is in the backyard of the Wude Palace. Both of these are very close to the Royal Palace and the East Palace. At that time, it was the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of rules and regulations were not complete, not to mention that Li Yuan mainly relied on his three sons to win the world, so he did not restrict them much, the three brothers entered and exited the palace, they could ride horses, they could carry bows and arrows and other miscellaneous items, and when they met, they were like family gifts, which was no different from Li Yuan before he became emperor.
What is even more interesting is that in government offices, the "Prince Decree", "Qin King Decree", and "Qi King Decree" have the same effect as the emperor's edict. If an organ receives several orders, it will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis, for example, if the "Order of the King of Qi" is issued before the Emperor's edict, then it will be handled according to the "Order of the King of Qi". The officials thought: Anyway, it's all the business of your father and son, no matter whose order you follow, the meat is rotten in the pot of the old Li family, and Li Yuan also acquiesces to this kind of thing. But because of this, something finally happened.
On this day, Zheng Guanyin and Ziyi went to the palace to see Zhang Jieyu and Concubine Yin De, and heard Zhang Jieyu's cry before they entered the door. The two of them hurriedly came in to give gifts, and Zheng Guanyin asked, "Jieyu Niangniang, what's wrong, why are you crying like this?" ”
Zhang Jieyu said: "It's not because of Li Shimin, I'm really angry!" ”
Concubine Yin Defei invited Zheng Guanyin and Ziyi to sit, "You came just in time, I have been persuading for a long time, and it is useless." ”
"What the hell is going on? Jieyu Niangniang might as well say it, and we can help you think of a way. Ziyi asked intimately.
Zhang Jieyu's tears poured down her eyes, and she said while crying: "This Li Shimin can't get along with our sisters, when the emperor sent us to Luoyang to receive the treasures of Luoyang Palace, he touched a nose of ashes. It's good now, it's riding on my head! ”
When Ziyi heard this, it seemed to be an opportunity, and she said seductively: "Jieyu, don't cry patronizingly, how does he bully you, you sue us, and we will help you get back a city." ”
Concubine Yin Defei said: "It seems that there is no way to get back a city in this matter." ”
Zhang Jieyu cried breathlessly, "Could it be ...... Is it just for him to bully my father like this? ”
"Jieyu, tell me what is going on, you are the emperor's favorite concubine, I don't believe that he Li Shimin still dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head!" Ziyi said.
Zhang Jieyu said: "A few days ago, my father fell in love with ten acres of fertile land, and I went to ask my majesty, and my father was a daughter of mine, in order to repay my father's nurturing kindness, I asked my majesty to give this piece of land to my father, and my majesty readily agreed, and also wrote an edict by hand. However, I never thought of it...... The father happily took the edict, but unexpectedly the land had been rewarded to Li Shentong by Li Shimin. The father was not satisfied and took out the edict of His Majesty, but Li Shentong took out the warrant of the King of Qin, saying that the King of Qin had already rewarded him with this land and refused to give up the land! Zhang Jieyu cried again after speaking.
Concubine Yin Defei sighed and said: "This matter is really hateful, after all, it is the warrant of King Qin in front, so Sister Jieyu has to sulk here, but there is nothing she can do." ”
Zheng Guanyin said hurriedly: "Is it just like this, let Shimin show off his might, and let Jieyu be wronged?" ”
Ziyi thought quietly for a long time, and slowly said, "Not really. ”
As soon as Zhang Jieyu heard Ziyi's words, she hurriedly stopped crying, "Princess Qi has a way?" ”
Ziyi smiled and said: "King Qin's warrant is in front, but won't Jieyu tell His Majesty that His Majesty's edict is in front?" ”
"Huh? That...... If it is verified by His Majesty......" Zhang Jieyu looked embarrassed, obviously not daring to bully the king.
Ziyi picked up the teacup on the table and smiled, "Then it depends on Jieyu's ability and His Majesty's love for Jieyu." Jieyu, if you say that this matter is in trouble, will the officials below offend His Majesty or King Qin? ”
Concubine Yin Defei understood, her eyes lit up, and she said to Zhang Jieyu: "Princess Qi has a good idea, my sister can do this." First, with His Majesty's pampering of his sister, as long as his sister uses a little skill to make herself look pitiful, Her Majesty will inevitably feel distressed, and her sister's words will be preconceived in Majesty's place; Second, as Princess Qi said, His Majesty was really angry, and when he was investigated, which official dared to risk saying that it was King Qin's warrant in front? ”
Zheng Guanyin also understood, "Yes, Jieyu, Concubine De is right." If he hears about this, I am afraid that my father will feel that the people of the world are proud of their merits, and if they don't put their father in their eyes, they will already be so angry that they will smoke, how can they verify it? ”
Zhang Jieyu listened to their analysis and turned sadness into joy, this tone can still come out like this! R1152
