Chapter 4 The True Colors of the Emperor
The next morning, Li Jun was woken up by Xiaoqing, after Li Jun got up, he felt very uncomfortable in his neck, looking at the jade pillow on the bed, Li Jun touched his neck and ordered: "Replace this jade pillow for me and replace it with a soft cloth." ”
"No." A lovely-looking palace maid carefully took the pillow and left.
Then Li Jun got up and changed his clothes, I thought it was the little palace maid who came to serve, but I didn't expect He Shen to run over to dress Li Jun, Li Jun's disappointment in his heart can be imagined, He Shen said while helping Li Jun dress: "Your Majesty, last night Lord Xiao and General Wei asked to see outside, the slave maid saw that His Majesty was asleep, so they sent them away, and this morning they handed over the sign again, can you see it?" ”
With the memory of this body, of course Li Jun knows the importance of these two people to the Tang Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that in the three years of the reign of the first emperor, the Tang Dynasty relied on the support of this Wen Yiwu, especially Xiao Wangzhi, Li Jun felt that this person was not much better than Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty.
So Li Jun said without hesitation: "Set up the imperial study, you can call the two of them over." ”
"No, the old slave obeys."
Because Li Jun was recovering from a serious illness, the diet in front of him was very light, Li Jun was drinking porridge while thinking about what to talk about with Xiao Wangzhi and the two of them for a while, and soon Xiao Wangzhi and the two came to the imperial study, and the two of them immediately knelt down and saluted when they saw Li Jun: "Minister Xiao Wangzhi (Wei Wuji) See Your Majesty." ”
Li Jun hurriedly asked the chamberlain to help the two of them up, and said with a pleasant face: "Teacher, uncle, please sit down, during the time I was sick, thanks to you, I must have not eaten so early, come here, pass the meal." ”
Xiao Wangzhi was stunned for a moment, Li Jun hadn't called himself a teacher for a long time, looking at Li Jun's sincere eyes, Xiao Wangzhi had mixed feelings in his heart, Wei Wuji was different, hearing Li Jun say this, Wei Wuji sat down and ate as a matter of course.
Looking at Wei Wuji's appearance, Li Jun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he still said with a smile: "Uncle has worked hard recently, you can eat more." ”
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the minister has indeed not eaten a few good meals recently." Wei Wuji chewed something in his mouth and said vaguely.
As soon as these words came out, Li Jun's face was as usual, but he was already extremely angry in his heart, he was the emperor, and he said a few polite words to the courtier, but the courtier climbed up the pole, what an arrogance! He Shen on the side had a cold face and just wanted to come out and reprimand Wei Wuji, but Xiao Wangzhi took the first step forward and said, "An Dehou is rude, hurry up and apologize to Your Majesty." ”
Wei Wuji was taken aback, almost choked, looking at He Shen who looked unkind and Xiao Wangzhi who was pale, Wei Wuji finally realized that he had made a mistake, Wei Wuji slapped his forehead heavily and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is rude, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, my uncle is a true temperament, how can I not know, don't stand still, teacher, come and eat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two said in unison.
After eating breakfast, looking at the demeanor of the two of them, Li Jun estimated that neither of them had eaten enough, especially Wei Wuji, who almost drooled when he watched the palace maid take the meal away.
After breakfast, the two of them saw that Li Jun's illness was no longer serious, and they were relieved a lot, and they were thinking about saying goodbye, when they heard Li Jun say lightly: "Lord Xiao, why did I hear that the court was not quiet recently?" ”
"A little thing, Your Majesty is just in good health, don't worry too much." Xiao Wangzhi immediately said, as the prime minister, of course Xiao Wangzhi knows what has happened in the court recently, and the princes from all walks of life are soliciting cronies everywhere, among which the king of Chu is the happiest, but Xiao Wangzhi has not moved, just because the mourning period of the first emperor has not yet passed, and Xiao Wangzhi feels very inappropriate at this time.
But Li Jun didn't care about this, Li Jun continued to ask: "Teacher, this is wrong, although I am sick, I am not deaf or blind, the whole capital is about to turn upside down, does the teacher still want to hide it from me?" ”
"The old minister doesn't dare." Xiao Wangzhi immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Li Jun sighed and said: "Teacher, I don't mean to blame you, I just feel that these people can't be left alone, let them mess around, it is not easy for the ancestors to establish Datang, and I will never allow Datang to be destroyed in my hands." ”
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, if it weren't for the Queen Mother and Lord Xiao recently, Weichen would have arrested these guys a long time ago, and watching them jump up and down, Weichen would be angry." Wei Wuji hurriedly echoed beside him.
Li Jun looked at his lovely uncle, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, he didn't have much contact with Wei Wuji before, he only knew that this was a famous general who won all battles, and he didn't know that he would be so cute when he returned to the court.
Li Jun took a deep breath, weighed the pros and cons, or decided to take this opportunity to wipe out the King of Chu and others, he has no prestige now, just take this opportunity to establish prestige, although Xiao Wangzhi is very capable, but after all, he is already old, I don't know how many years it can last, I have to take advantage of this time to arrange manpower well, and do a good job at the time of the replacement of the old and the new.
Xiao Wangzhi was helped to sit on the chair by the chamberlain, and he was shocked, he didn't expect that the usually gentle student, when he became the emperor, would be so aggressive, he was a little scared in his heart, but also a little relieved, because Li Jun's sudden outburst just now was the right thing for the Son of Heaven to do, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, even if he did something wrong, he should not bear it.
Xiao Wangzhi regained his strength and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any good ideas?" ”
Li Jun thought for a while before slowly replying: "Teacher, uncle, now that the news that I have recovered from my illness, only you two know, and outsiders probably don't know, so let's do it, I decided to temporarily block the news, and wait until those guys show their fox tails, and when there is evidence, uncle, you will lead the Royal Forest Army to take people." ”
"Your Majesty's method is good, wait for the rabbit, as long as it is properly controlled, it will never cause chaos." Xiao Wangzhi touched his beard and said with relief.
At this time, Wei Wuji smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that your method won't work, there is something Weichen forgot to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Jun had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, I saw Wei Wuji say: "Your Majesty, last night the Queen Mother came to find Weichen and asked Weichen to block Zhiluo Palace, and later Weichen learned that a palace maid in Zhiluo Palace secretly ran out last night, and went to the palace of the King of Chu, and now the King of Chu is afraid that he has already known the news of His Majesty's dragon body healing." ”
Who lives in Zhiluo Palace? Li Jun didn't know very well, and looked at He Shen with a pleading look, and He Shen immediately said: "Your Majesty, during the days when you were sick, the Queen Mother ordered that Concubine Zhao be imprisoned in Zhiluo Palace. ”
Li Jun suddenly realized that the bad thing was his mother's rival in love......
