Chapter 1166: Embezzling the Spoils of War
"The guilty minister Koji Zhisheng knocks to see His Majesty the Heavenly Khan!"
In the Taiji Palace, Koji Zhisheng respectfully made a big bow to Li Shimin and officially pleaded guilty on behalf of Gao Chang.
When Li Shimin heard this, he said loudly: "Gaochang blocked the Silk Road for no reason, and I sent a large army to crusade, do you have any complaints in your heart?" ”
"Please also ask the Heavenly Khan to see that Gaochang's blocking of the Silk Road was because his father was coerced by Desire Gushe, not Gaochang's original intention." Koji Zhisheng immediately shifted the responsibility to Desire Gu She, and now the number one opponent in Datang is the Western Turks, and it is a politically correct matter to target the Western Turks.
"Desire Gu Sheer is so bold, he actually provoked Datang without authorization, can I really help him?" Li Shimin took advantage of the situation and said angrily.
"Your Majesty, although Desire Valley is the mastermind behind the scenes, Gao Chang is willing to be driven by Desire Valley and an accomplice, and his sin is unforgivable." The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ling Hu De said loudly.
When Koji Zhisheng heard this, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, but then he straightened up and said: "Although the desire valley coerced the father and the Tang Dynasty to be hostile, the father's debt was repaid by the son, and the criminal minister was willing to be punished on behalf of the father. ”
Li Shimin saw that Koji Zhisheng calmly confessed his guilt, so he couldn't help but glance at Koji Zhisheng more, and said with satisfaction: "I remember your filial piety, I specially forgive you from your crimes, when the Tang army besieged Gaochang, you had signs of taking the initiative to surrender, so that the two countries were saved from the flames of war, and I named you General Zuo Wuwei, the Duke of Jincheng County." ”
"The sinners thank the heavenly khan for his grace!"
Koji Zhisheng fell to the ground, his heart was full of five flavors, loss and happiness were intertwined, the loss was that the Gaochang Koji Dynasty that had been inherited for more than a hundred years finally perished, and fortunately he was able to save the king of the dead country, and even received a rich and idle job in the Tang Dynasty.
"The ancestors of the Koji clan, Gaochang was defeated, and it was not Zhisheng's fault." Koji Zhisheng thought silently in his heart, and then he felt a little better, and got up and nodded slightly towards the Mo family on the side.
He was escorted all the way to Datang, and he was not humiliated, but was repeatedly comforted by the Mo family, and even his current experience is almost the same as what the Mo family presupposed.
"From now on, Gaochang and Datang have become a family, which is a great joy." Li Shimin said with great joy in his heart.
"Congratulations to the Commander of Jincheng! From now on, we will be ministers of the same temple, which is really gratifying! ”
A group of ministers expressed their goodwill to Koji Zhisheng, and the whole scene was harmonious.
Koji Zhisheng also responded with a smile on his face and responded one by one, as for what he thought in his heart, it is unknown.
However, an unsociable voice suddenly broke the harmony, and I saw an imperial historian suddenly step forward and say: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the ink sacrifice wine to extort the county prince of Jincheng on the occasion of the western expedition." ”
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Merton and Koji Zhisheng.
Ko Zhisheng's face was suddenly full of horror, he had just gotten rid of the crisis of life and death, and he could be a rich idler in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect that in just a few breaths, he would be involved in the court dispute of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister and the Marquis have no grievances, let alone private treatment, and no extortion." Koji Zhisheng hurriedly cleared up the relationship.
Yu Zhining said with a righteous face: "Don't be afraid, this is Chang'an City, it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, even people with hands and eyes to the sky dare not do anything to you?" ”
Lu Zhisheng said with a resolute face: "This lord doesn't want to talk nonsense, although Mohou's firearms supervisor took the lead in breaking through Gaochang City, and there is a hatred of destroying the country below, but the public is public, private is private, on the battlefield, death and injury are inevitable, but in private under the character of Mohou is also extremely respectful, in Gaochang, even under the escort all the way, Mohou has no extortion, if there is a lie in the next half, please Tian Khan cut off the head of Weichen to set an example." ”
Hearing that Koji Zhisheng was so resolute, Yu Zhining nodded regretfully, if Koji Zhisheng was a little mediocre and took the opportunity to take revenge and frame Merton, he wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
Li Shimin frowned: "Yu Aiqing, since the Duke of Jincheng said so, I think it's just some chasing after the wind and shadows, and Merton is not a person who covets that little bit of ill-gotten gains." ”
Li Shimin said these words definitely not for Merton, if Merton wants to make money, the ink skills in his hands alone are enough to earn more wealth, and he can't look down on the money in the hands of Koji Zhisheng or even Gao Chang
And the other ministers also nodded one after another, if other ministers extorted money, they might be suspicious, but the Mo family's wealth can be said to be countless, how can they take the risk to covet the wealth in the hands of Koji Zhisheng.
Yu Zhining sneered: "Your Majesty, the Mo family really doesn't look down on Gao Chang's wealth, but he can't refuse Gao Chang's secret technique, Wei Chen was ordered to supervise the alcohol ban, but found that Mojia Village blatantly violated the alcohol ban and secretly brewed wine in Dengzhou. ”
"Prohibition violated!" Suddenly, the minister of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help frowning, the prohibition of alcohol had just been promulgated and took effect, and the Mo family actually disobeyed the yang and the yin, and shut down Xie Qianchou on the surface, and actually started to make wine in private.
Merton explained: "The purpose of Prohibition is to prevent wine from consuming food and to keep food prices stable, and wine is made from grapes, not grain, so naturally it is no longer in the ranks of Prohibition." ”
The minister of the Manchu Dynasty thought about it, and Mo Jiazi's move can indeed justify himself, although a wine is suspected of playing a side game, it does not conflict with the purpose of the court's alcohol ban.
Only Li Shimin had a deep meaning at Merton, this kid proposed a ban to him, he thought that the Mo family was high-spirited, but he didn't expect that there would be a follow-up, and he would not suffer a loss.
Yu Zhining was not surprised by this ending, but showed a hint of smugness: "However, what really puzzled Weichen was that the secret technique used in the ink sacrifice wine was officially from Gaochang's wine secret technique, since this wine secret technique was not extorted from the hands of the Jincheng County Prince, it must have been the spoils of the ink sacrifice wine during the western expedition." ”
"Spoils of war!" As soon as Yu Zhining's voice fell, there was an uproar in the court, Yu Zhining tried his best to get Ko Zhisheng to deny being blackmailed by the Mo family, and he was waiting for the Mo family here, you must know that embezzling the spoils of war is much more serious than blackmailing a dead king.
The ministers also frowned, the Mo family may be disdainful of money, but there is no resistance to the secret technique, this wine secret technique is probably the Mo family's looting in Gaochang.
Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but look embarrassed, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military talked about the Mo family's private embezzlement of war booty, as the bitter master, his situation was extremely embarrassing.
"Yes, the secret technique of wine is indeed taken from Gaochang, and there are two secret techniques taken from Gaochang in the next one, one is the secret technique of wine, and the other is the secret technique of weaving." Merton didn't hide it and admitted it directly.
