Chapter 108: Xiazhou's Great Victory
Kong Yingda said it rightly, but when the words fell, he regretted it a little.
It's not because he feels like he's the same as everyone else.
It's about ...... He didn't think he should be angry!
I am a great Confucian who is familiar with the scriptures and history, and after being a famous family, even if it is reasonable, it should be from a high position, and the scriptures should be cited.
But this Chen Zhengtai often said why, it was really annoying and annoying, so he ......
He found that he was pulled to the same level as him by Chen Zhengtai, and then defeated himself by messing around.
It's just that Chen Zhengtai's eyes lit up when he heard Kong Yingda say that the old man was different.
After staying at home for so long, he didn't get a response to his teacher every day, and he almost got sick, but now he finally came out, and at this moment he felt like a tiger descending from the mountain, and immediately said: "How is Kong Gong different?" ”
Kong Yingda decided not to entangle with him, so he pouted, looking disdainful of arguing with him.
Now when Chen Zhengtai is in high spirits, where is he willing to let him go!
Chen Zhengtai said: "It seems that Kong Gong thinks very highly of himself, does not put other people in his eyes, even my teacher, of course, also reads, but the purpose of reading is to go on the horse to level the world, and to rule the people, and Kong Gong is just to study for the sake of reading, and he also feels superior to others, Kong Gong, you must not be like this, you listen to my advice, people must not breed arrogance, today in this hall of civil and military ministers, all are the pillars of the country, they are to assist His Majesty to govern the world, painstakingly and painstakingly. How could Kong Gong even look down on them, but he would study...... As the ultimate goal of oneself? ”
When Kong Yingda heard this, he wanted to vomit blood.
He didn't want to respond, but Chen Zhengtai is so nonsense, doesn't this mean that he doesn't take the world in his eyes? If you don't say a few words at this time, you have to cause some misunderstanding!
So Kong Yingda said angrily: "Slander, this is slander, the old man doesn't mean that." ”
"That means...... Kong Gong believes that in fact, reading is just a process, and governing the world and protecting the territory and the people is the goal? ”
"But the prince ...... He...... He shouldn't have ...... like that."
Chen Zhengtaile, at this time, he must behave lightly, so that he can form a deterrent.
In fact...... The debate between the two sides is inherently unequal.
Compared with Kong Yingda, Chen Zhengtai is from the notorious Chen family anyway, and his reputation is also sparse, and the so-called loopholes are all over the body, but there are no loopholes.
And Kong Yingda is different, Kong Yingda is a celebrity, the more such a person, once he catches a loophole, he can attack wildly and expand the results.
On the surface, Kong Yingda has an advantage, but in fact, Chen Zhengtai, a person full of loopholes, has long been invincible.
figured out this joint, is the reason why Chen Zhengtai decided to beat the water dog, your sister, what shit basin wants to knock on my Chen Zhengtai's head, the tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat?
Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "What does Master Kong think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should do? And how? Shouldn't you go to Xiazhou, should you ignore the Turkic attacks? ”
"Hmph." Kong Yingda feels that now he has to fight!
He took a deep breath and felt that entanglement on this issue was fruitless at all, this was a chicken-and-egg problem, and once he was angry and argued with him, in fact, he had already lost at the beginning!
So, he decided to change the topic: "What the old man said is that the prince has been misled by you Chen Zhengtai these days, what a pure and kind person the prince was at the beginning, and now he ...... now."
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, his eyes flashed with a different kind of luster, because he knew ...... Kong Yingda has already revealed the biggest flaw.
Chen Zhengtai said: "What does Kong Gong mean...... The prince is not pure and good now? ”
"This ......" Kong Yingda just wanted to prove that Chen Zhengtai was a scum and misled the prince, but where did he think that Chen Zhengtai would ask like this, he suddenly became vigilant in his heart.
Chen Zhengtai suddenly shouted: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not pure? Kong Gong, you are really not very kind when you say this. You belong to the East Palace, the king of food, think about it, who fed you and gave you a high-ranking official. It is your duty to teach the prince. As a teacher, you should always stand by the side of the prince. But you slandered the prince so much in this public, this is ...... It's really not what a loyal minister should do, is it because you care about your reputation and for your personal selfish interests, you blame the prince everywhere? Kong Gong...... I advise you to be kind, which side are you on? ”
Kong Yingda's old face twitched, and he couldn't help but realize...... I lost my words.
He is a subordinate official, and he has to protect the interests of the prince at all times, and he originally ...... He should cut Chen Zhengtai and the crown prince apart, and then attack Chen Zhengtai with all his might. Results...... Chen Zhengtai, a dog thing, actually tied himself to the prince to death, and then turned against the army and directly forced himself into a corner.
He suddenly realized that this time he ...... It's a complete failure, because the reason is very simple, even if the prince is not a human being, as a subordinate official, he should be in line with the interests of the prince, and once people think that you eat inside and out, what will everyone think?
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he seemed to express a little dissatisfaction with Kong Yingda!
Yes, the prince is my son, you are his teacher, Kong Qing's family, you are not good for the prince on the left, and the prince is not good on the right, if you just care about the prince, it's fine, but if it's just for your own reputation, it's a little hateful.
Li Chengqian stared at Kong Yingda even more.
Li Chengqian's worldview is much simpler than that of his father, Chen Zhengtai and Kong Yingda are at odds, and for Li Chengqian, these two are only black and white, Chen Zhengtai is a good person, he helps himself speak, Kong Yingda is not a thing, he dismantles the lonely platform.
Some officials also wanted to come forward and scold Chen Zhengtai, such as Lu Deming, but at this moment, he retreated, if he also stood up and argued with Chen Zhengtai, he would have no face if he won, and even more shameless if he loses.
Chen Zhengtai still didn't give up: "Gong Kong, the so-called food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king." You look at me Chen Zhengtai, I don't have so many fancy intestines as you, although I don't receive much, but I know that the Chen family can have today, all thanks to the teacher, the master and son are my food and clothing parents, I Chen Zhengtai does not read as many books as you, and I understand the truth, it may not be as good as you, but I only keep in mind one, I am on the side of the prince no matter what......"
When Li Chengqian heard this, his heart was extremely comfortable, senior brother is really real!
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhengtai seemed to feel that this sentence might be slapped in the face in the future, so he said the next sentence: "Whoever is the prince, I will stand on whichever side!" ”
Kong Yingda was so angry that his face turned white, and said: "The old man doesn't argue with you, what the old man wants to talk about is ......."
"Where is this argument? Kong Gong, this is a position, this is like the Turks want to go south, I Datang want to sweep the desert in general, in the eyes of the Turks, they are justified in going south, in my Datang view, sweeping the desert also has our reason, I am a subject of the Tang Dynasty, I feel that the Tang Dynasty is reasonable, I feel that the Turks are just a group of robbers, as for their truth, I don't want to listen, and I don't bother to pay attention to it, Kong Gong, what we are talking about now is this...... On the question of position, dare to ask Kong Gong, where is your position? ”
Kong Yingda: "The old man has his heart for the prince. ”
"My heart is to the prince, but I am not satisfied with this, I am not satisfied with that, I belittle the prince everywhere, or in front of the Manchu civil and military? The prince went to fight the Turks, there was a mistake in your eyes, the prince went to Erpigou a few times, and there was still a mistake, so what did the prince do, so that Kong Gong could be satisfied? ”
Kong Yingda: "......"
He has nothing to say anymore, he is still reasoning, and then you have to talk about your position again, and the old man has made his position clear, and you start to reason again.
And this truth is like a quarrel with a shrew on the street, old man...... Old man......
Chen Zhengtai immediately said: "Teacher, the student thinks that the prince is not at fault. If there were, then it was indeed a problem for the students, who should not have spoken to the prince in the first place, bitterly complaining about the harm of the Turks to our Tang Dynasty, let alone complaining to the prince about the increasingly serious problems and the harm to the people. If the prince has been to Xiazhou, please ask the teacher to punish the prince, please also punish the student, the student has nothing to say. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone glanced at Kong Yingda sadly.
Compared with Kong Yingda's prevarication, Chen Zhengtai directly raised the pattern.
Li Shimin originally thought that Chen Zhengtai was a ...... All kinds of chirping didn't stop, and I was a little impatient in my heart, but when I heard this, I couldn't help but move.
In this world, in fact, no one cares about your ability at all, ability is essentially secondary, and even, the more powerful you are, for a genius like Li Shimin, you have to doubt your loyalty, because the more capable a person is, if he is disloyal, the most harmful to the order.
Li Shimin sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but think that what I took from Chen Zhengtai was the heart of the death of this person who knew his kindness and was a confidant.
After that, I looked at Kong Yingda again, and saw that Kong Yingda had a miserable face!
In fact, at this time, Kong Yingda also wanted to immediately express his loyalty to the emperor and the prince, but at this time, Chen Zhengtai had blocked this road, and Chen Zhengtai had already expressed his intentions.
So...... He only looked miserable and remained silent.
Li Shimin nodded, in fact, after Li Chengqian came back, most of his anger had disappeared.
Chen Zhengtai's performance also made him extremely satisfied.
Li Shimin himself is a brother killer, and what he is most afraid of is that his children and grandchildren will follow suit.
Because of this, Li Shimin greatly cherishes this primogeniture inheritance system, since the prince is already the prince, how can he be easily replaced?
Not to mention the deep relationship between father and son.
Since the crown prince cannot be replaced, and the prince has done such a thing, this is the reason why Li Shimin held the court meeting, he wanted Li Chengqian to make it clear in front of the civil and military officials, so that the officials would not secretly speculate, which would cause people all over the world to discuss one after another, and finally spread all kinds of gossip to shake the prestige of the prince.
And Chen Zhengtai repeatedly protected the prince, which is exactly what Li Shimin needs.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "The prince went to Xiazhou, and he also cared about the people, so it can be seen that the prince still has a heart for the people, but it's a pity that he is young after all, he has an inherent love for the people, and he has the move to help the world, but he can go here...... But it was in vain, and it was not seen to take down the head of a Turk, which was ultimately a loss of the dignity of the imperial court. ”
These words cheered everyone up, Your Majesty has set the tone, and the heart is good, so ......
The prince has escaped a catastrophe! As for the lack of ability, it seems understandable, after all...... People are still a child, and they can't be forced.
"Your Majesty is very true."
The first to stand up was the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji was the prince's own uncle, at this time, seeing His Majesty's light hair, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he hurriedly stood up to support!
It's just that he couldn't help complaining in his heart: a group of dolls, too ignorant of the sky, you see that the surname Chen is a smart person, when he encounters a knife and a gun, he hides in his Erpigou, and when it comes to playing tricks, he is the first to jump out. Ay... The prince or... Too young......
Seeing this, the ministers also said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”
But then, Li Shimin's face pulled, and he glanced at Li Chengqian fiercely, this time he was messing around, although he should be protected, but if he didn't beat him, he would do such a nonsense thing next time, how would it be good?
"The crown prince is the prince of the country, so incompetent, how can he protect the territory and the people and govern the world in the future? The prince is a person who the world relies on, life and death, honor and disgrace are all tied to one, so incompetent, he must be severely punished, and the prince is ordered to be detained in the palace for three months, and he is not allowed to enter or leave. And you...... Chen Zhengtai...... Didn't you say that you share weal and woe with the crown prince? “
Chen Zhengtai was a little confused, he wanted to explain that the student is just who is the prince, and the student will support whom, and the student really protects you.
It's just that he didn't dare to say this after all, so he hurriedly said, "Yes...... Yes......"
Li Shimin sneered and said: "That's also a crime, you are a raccoon dog, obviously incompetent, and you want to be strong, you should also be detained for three months." ”
Chen Zhengtai actually felt that this was a unwarranted disaster from beginning to end, and said very aggrievedly: "Teacher...... Student ......"
"Alright, I still have something to discuss with the ministers." Li Shimin waved his hand: "The prince and Chen Zhengtai have both stepped down, and someone is coming...... Come down, please. ”
This punishment was lighter than originally imagined, but it made Li Chengqian's heart fall down, and at this time, he was relaxed, and he wanted to run away.
Chen Zhengtai still feels that he is more wronged than Dou E, your sister, I just put a bi on my mouth, oh my God, for three months, the Chen family still relies on me to make money, and the loss of money is a few minutes away.
The two were kicked out.
As soon as he came out of the Xuanzheng Palace, Chen Zhengtai drooped his head.
Li Chengqian's eyebrows fluttered and said, "Senior brother, you haven't seen me...... What a heroic warrior it was at the time, but it's a pity that I couldn't get the head, haha...... Senior brother is really too righteous, don't worry, from now on, I will treat you as my own brother. ”
Chen Zhengtai was in a very disappointed mood, and couldn't help but say: "Isn't the junior brother's brother Li Tai?" ”
Li Chengqian's face darkened: "Don't mention him." He paused: "Anyway, our brothers and sisters also share blessings and hardships, which is equivalent to ...... It's equivalent to ......" He thought for a long time: "It's equivalent to the relationship between my uncle and my fourth uncle of the dead ghost." ”
When Chen Zhengtai heard this, his whole body suddenly came to his senses, and he shuddered suddenly.
Li Chengqian's uncle is the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the fourth uncle is Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the two are indeed good enough to wear a pair of pants, the problem is ...... These two were later cut down by Li Shimin in Xuanwu Gate!
What is the ...... Sounds unlucky.
"And your flying balls and gunpowder, they're amazing, in your book...... It's really like a treasure, and I'll follow you and listen to you in the future. ”
"Oh, where's my flyball?" Chen Zhengtai looked at Li Chengqian and said.
Li Chengqian said very honestly: "I set it on fire, after the surprise attack on the Turks, there was a little accident when I landed, and it was already dilapidated, and I was ...... alone."
Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but feel distressed: "Do you know...... That's a lot of money. ”
This ruined thing burns all silver!
"Oh, you and my brother, don't talk about money, three months later, we will still be a man, and I will come to look for you then."
As the two spoke, they turned back, and a group of Praetorian guards followed.
After walking a short distance, he saw a lonely person standing in front of him.
It's not who Lee Tae is!
Li Tai saw Li Chengqian, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I have seen the imperial brother, the imperial brother can return safely, and the younger brother is overjoyed." ”
As soon as Li Chengqian saw him, he made a straight face: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Father said...... I'm going to test my knowledge later. Li Tai replied cautiously and knowledgeably: "The homework I did today is how to defeat the Turks, and it took me a few days of hard work and a lot of scriptures and histories to find some solutions. ”
Only then did Li Chengqian notice that Li Tai was holding a stack of books in his hand.
Li Chengqian looked disdainful and wanted to say a few words of disdain, but Chen Zhengtai on the side said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yue is really hardworking." ”
"Where." Li Tai said modestly: "I am only a shallow learner, where can I have any lofty opinions, just use more thoughts, so as not to make my father laugh." ”
Chen Zhengtai admires Li Tai very much, at a young age, he is so steady, whether it is his speech or demeanor, or his behavior, he is much stronger than Li Chengqian, a scumbag.
As he spoke...... At this time, there were eunuchs from Yintai hurriedly rushing towards the Xuanzheng Palace.
This silver platform is a small gate of the imperial palace, but because it is responsible for transmitting the news in and outside the palace, the eunuchs who are responsible for delivering the news are called the silver platform guards!
In order to distinguish and ensure that the herald and emergency can be conveyed smoothly in the event of an emergency, the eunuchs of Yintai often wear red clothes!
At this moment, the red-clothed eunuch was in a hurry, running away with his legs, and shouting: "Good news, good news, great victory in Xiazhou, great victory......"
When Li Chengqian and Chen Zhengtai heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and Chen Zhengtai subconsciously said: "What, General Li Jing has won a great victory." Hasn't the army just set out? ”
