Chapter 206: Digging a pit and burying people
Temple of Manna
Li Shimin pinched Zhu Suiliang's recital, shook it gently, and said with a smile on his face: "How can I be a person who can't tolerate people......
That's it! ”
The following generals all knew what Li Shimin was talking about, and some people thought that Li Shimin would be furious about this, but they didn't expect Li Shimin to agree directly, and he seemed to be very happy.
Hou Junji stood up eagerly and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty's military power has always been very important, and there is gunpowder in the East Palace today, so you must not ......be careless."
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was frightened back by Li Shimin's eyes, and the atmosphere in the hall became very solemn for a while.
Originally, in order to show Li Chengqian that the military was dissatisfied with the change in his attitude on the matter of peace and his sudden proposal to use military force, they excluded the Donggong guard rate from the parade of military guards, but this was already excessive, but since they had the support of Li Shimin, they were not afraid of anything.
However, if you, Hou Junji, still jump out to oppose Li Chengqian and Li Shimin's army parade, the nature is different.
Li Chengqian's participation in the military parade is the power of the monarchs according to Zhu Suiliang's statement, and it is related to the form of the military parade after the Tang Dynasty.
Yu Zhining's bones are not cold, you are going to repeat his mistakes?
Li Shimin looked at Hou Junji solemnly for a long time, and said slowly: "Chen Guogong's words are wrong, the prince's parade with me is determined by the etiquette law, how can he think more?"
Hou Junji is one of the nine people who followed Li Shimin to rob and kill Li Jiancheng in Xuanwu Gate and has the credit of destroying Gaochang, Li Shimin has always attached great importance to him, usually Li Shimin calls him by his name, but today he changed his name because he said a wrong sentence to call him Chen Guogong, which means ......
There are already people at the scene thinking: Your Majesty must personally replace the crown prince except for Hou Junji.
Hou Junji was stunned and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "It's the minister who thinks wrong, please punish Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin still waved his hand with a calm face when he heard this: "Forget it! ”
Seeing this, everyone knew that Li Shimin was in a bad mood at this time, so they all hurriedly got up and saluted and retired.
Only Cheng Yanjin looked at Li Shimin with an embarrassed face and didn't leave, Li Shimin glanced at Cheng Yanjin angrily and snorted angrily and then beckoned to him, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly trotted in front of Li Shimin with a flattering face.
"Your Majesty, you see that the minister has just returned to Chang'an......"
Li Shimin looked at the gray-bearded Cheng Yanjin bending over with a smiling face, and the anger in his heart disappeared, and he said angrily: "You don't have to be afraid of anything!" ”
"Hey, hey, listen to Your Majesty, don't be afraid of anything!"
Li Shimin sighed and pointed to the Jindun in front of the bed and said: "Sit down, our monarchs and ministers may not have said what they have in their hearts for a long time, so let's talk about it today." Li Shimin said, with a slight loneliness in his eyes.
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly sat down on the Jindun and said with a big grin: "What Your Majesty said is that the ministers have been stationed outside for many years, and whenever they get together with the generals to drink, they always think of Your Majesty and want to talk to Your Majesty. ”
Li Shimin smiled when he heard this: "You blame me for not giving you a drink when you came back this time?"
Cheng Yanjin stretched out his hands with a wry smile on his face, and swayed again and again, indicating that he didn't dare.
Li Shimin smiled when he saw this, and then said with a straight face: "Since Cheng Qian's legs and feet were injured and left disabled, many people have thoughts in their hearts that they shouldn't have, first some people instigated Qingque to rebel, and then some people wanted to use child slaves to deal with Cheng Qian. I have said many times that Cheng Qian is the eldest and I will never replace the sect with evil branches, but no one listens to it, and there are always people who want to make some trouble for Cheng Qian, which is why there are one disaster after another.
Fortunately, Cheng Qianren and Xiaozhen are also at ease, and he has been quite competitive recently, so I will naturally indulge him a little, and the generals of the East Palace he promoted are indeed meritorious......"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Li Shimin's words, although he smiled and nodded from time to time, his heart was cold, he came back all the way, but he heard that Li Shimin was quite protective of Li Chengqian's Donggong guard, so he transferred him and Xue Wanche into Chang'an.
As soon as he came back, he set out to suppress the Donggong Wei rate and got the support of the generals of Chang'an, but now when he heard what Li Shimin meant, he was very satisfied with Li Chengqian.
Cheng Yanjin wanted to scold his mother......
Li Shimin didn't know what Cheng Yanjin was thinking, so he just continued to himself: "But these people can't just throw themselves into the ground under my hands!" Otherwise, will Cheng Qian still be able to use them when the time comes?"
"Your Majesty, your holy life is boundless, why bother thinking about these things." Cheng Yanjin understood that what Li Shimin wanted to suppress was the generals of the East Palace, so that they could only revolve around Li Chengqian, and only after Li Chengqian ascended the throne did these people have the opportunity to come forward and work for Li Chengqian, which can also be said to be a meritorious service.
Cheng Yanjin understood these secret grievances in his heart, how could he encounter such a thing, the guards of the East Palace now seem to be Li Chengqian's henchmen, and Li Shimin does not plan to move them, but he wants to oppose these people for Li Shimin's idea.
Headache......
After Li Shimin's will went down, the government and the opposition quickly quieted down, and all the officials were re-evaluating Li Chengqian's status in their hearts.
The day before the martial arts, Li Shimin summoned Li Chengqian and his ministers to discuss the matter in the Liangyi Palace.
Originally, this time in Chengtianlou was mainly to receive Xue Yantuo's marriage proposal, but since Li Chengqian proposed to conduct military exercises to deter foreign barbarians on that day, the focus of the imperial court has become everything centered on military exercises.
……
……
Everything discussed in front of them was very good, but when the guards ended, everyone couldn't find a suitable path.
Because in the past, when Li Shimin reviewed the armies, the soldiers lined up in the military formation, and he rode a horse in front of the armies, and then he left the field first, and the soldiers in the formation could disperse as they wanted.
But this time, after reading the armies, it is necessary to announce that the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo are reconciled, and then there are songs and dances on the Chengtian Gate, etc., so it is obviously unreasonable to let the guards wait until they are gone.
Li Shiji, as the secretary of the military department, his opinion was to let the soldiers line up and wait until the end.
Li Shimin thought that the soldiers should be withdrawn first after he finished the proofreading, but Yang Shidao and Ma Zhou and other civilian officials felt that retiring directly would affect the military prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
Since listening to Li Chengqian's words, the Tang Dynasty's texts are thinking about surrendering soldiers without a fight, and they are more attentive to martial arts, and in just a few days, they have figured out Xu Clause, including under what conditions how to punish the military department, which makes the generals have a lot of opinions.
Just when everyone was disagreeing, Li Chengqian waved his hand to everyone, and only when everyone looked at him did he slowly speak: "If it's just the chariot of the father emperor and the lonely king walking around in front of the various army formations, is it still a martial arts?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they quickly reacted, and now they have only arranged the process of proofreading and have not yet performed martial arts.
Looking at the ministers who had reacted, Li Chengqian rolled his eyes at the ministers, and then continued: "This is the first time that I won't do other projects, but after the review of my father and the lonely king, the guards will walk in front of the Chengtian Gate. ”
When all the generals heard this, they all felt that this was too pediatric, and Cheng Yanjin was the first to stand up and say: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is easy, just do what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, walk from west to east, walk through the Chengtian Gate until the Tonghua Gate of Chang'an City, and then walk back to the Xuanwu Gate in the north of the palace along the city wall." ”
Cheng Yanjin is really smart, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he not only praised Li Chengqian, but also solved the matter of the end.
Li Chengqian smiled faintly when he heard this: "It's easy, but these few steps are to get out of the military and national prestige of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
"This is natural!" Not to be outdone, Hou Junji stood up and said.
Li Chengqian snickered in his heart and said secretly: You just wait to be embarrassed!
