Chapter 31 The Imperial Meeting
Wei Zheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that if you want a tree to grow tall, you must stabilize its foundation; If you want the river to flow far and wide, you must dredge its source; In order to make the country stable, it is necessary to accumulate its virtues and righteousness. The source is not deep but he wants the river to flow far and long, the foundation is not stable but he wants the trees to grow tall, and the morality is not deep but he wants the stability of the country, although the minister is stupid, he also knows that it is impossible, let alone a wise man like Your Majesty! ”
"Since ancient times, they have all been established as the elders, the young and the old are orderly, and the King of Shu is nine years old, ahead of His Royal Highness the Prince, which is contrary to morality!"
I don't have any intersection with this old man Wei! How could this old man scare himself, shouldn't he be the eldest grandson Wuji? Li Ke was very puzzled.
Turning his head to look, the eldest grandson Wuji with a calm face, Li Ke secretly scolded the old fox, he was really angry.
Li Ke faced Wei Zheng and said: "Gu Youxiang became a teacher of Confucius at the age of seven, Ganluo was a twelve-year-old official to worship Shangqing, and now the king is more than nine years old, why can't he go to the court to participate in politics?" ”
"Lord Wei is alone and has no friends, lonely and unheard, I have never seen a young genius like this king."
Li Ke scolded Wei Zheng while shamelessly praising himself in the court.
"When the sheep-nosed prince is as big as the King of Shu, it is estimated that he doesn't have pants to wear, and he can only play with urine and mud, how can he understand such a young genius as His Royal Highness the King of Shu." Cheng Yanjin said with a laugh.
"You, you, you two are in the same boat, embarrassed." Wei Zheng angrily put his hand on Li Ke and Cheng Biting Jin, pointing back and forth.
"Wrong, this is the same thing that heroes see." Li Ke was the one who did not give in.
"Sheep-nosed male, you are disrespectful to the old and bullying the small with the big." Cheng Biting Jin scolded and scolded.
Cheng Biting Jin's goods is already difficult, and now there is another person who is a big ghost King of Shu, and the hundred officials who wanted to participate in the concert have also retreated.
Li Ke thought that Wei Zheng was whipped by Lao Li after his death.
couldn't bear to say: "Lord Wei's words are straightforward, they are all for my Tang Dynasty, and this king should be taught with an open mind." This king is young, and I ask for your forgiveness for making some insulting remarks just now. ”
But in the eyes of hundreds of officials, Li Ke's move was completely cowardly, purely to get cheap and sell well.
The party Wei Zheng was red-faced and red-eared, and he was in a dilemma.
Forgive me! I have suffered a loss in my own life, so I don't forgive it! Tell the truth.
Even Li Er, who is often scolded by Wei Zheng, is cheering for his son in his heart. Isn't your ram nose able to speak?
Wei Zheng had no choice but to change the topic and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is saying that the elder and the young are orderly, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority. ”
Li Er looked at Li Ke and Wei Zheng in the audience and said: "Wei Aiqing, I don't know what you said, it's just that Cheng Qian and Ke'er are getting older, and Cheng Qian, as the prince and the prince of the country, should study hard and prepare for the upcoming government and handling state affairs." As for the reason for Ke'er's early dynasty today, it is that the widow is ready to let him go to the fiefdom and contribute to my Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. What does Wei Aiqing think. ”
Wei Zheng watched Li Er speak, and almost explained his problem, and he had all his face, so he said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise" and retreated to the court.
After hearing Li Er's words, the eldest grandson Wuji was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that His Majesty still has a preference for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Ke's performance in the court, and secretly speculated in his heart that this son would go to Tibet today, and whether he would dive into the sea.
After all, Li Ke is also the governor of Yizhou and the prime minister of all military affairs in Yizhou.
The princes of this dynasty are accustomed to being generals immediately, and if they are made immortal military achievements, it will also be a great threat to the future emperor!
So he stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness is young, and you are about to go to Yizhou, Your Majesty will be my Tang Dynasty, endure the pain and cut love, and the old minister will congratulate Your Majesty and my Tang Dynasty." ”
"However, His Royal Highness is young, and his position is high and powerful, and I am afraid that His Highness will be deceived by the villain and want to cause trouble!"
Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with interest and said, "In that case, what do you think the auxiliary machine should do?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Weichen thinks that one more person should be sent to assist in taking care of His Highness to prevent him from going astray. This person should be a little older than His Highness, and his status should be prominent, and he should not be oppressed by local officials, so that he can protect His Highness safely. ”
Li Ke listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, who was secretly pregnant with a ghost, and said: "Father, although the son is young, but he is determined to become a wise person like his father, how can he be made by the villain at will, and insult the reputation of my royal family. ”
Li Ke said, and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji viciously, as if the eldest grandson Wuji was that small.
The other ministers, looking at the two people who were fighting each other, did not rashly express their position, but only waited there to see what happened.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also looked at Li Ke differently.
Today, the hall watched the confrontation between him and the eldest grandson Wuji, although he was only ten years old, he did not have half a minute of stage fright.
According to reason, he secretly slandered the eldest grandson Wuji and bullied him when he was young, not to mention, and took the opportunity to ask the emperor for power, and handled it properly, quite a bit of ability, given time, I am afraid that it will not be the second Li Er.
Li Er looked at the two people in the audience and secretly speculated that although Li Ke said that he wanted to be a free prince, the reform just wanted to do something practical to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
However, now that he is still young, when he grows up, he will inevitably have thoughts of inconsistencies, which is not conducive to Chengqian.
The eldest grandson Wuji is Chengqian's uncle, and it is inevitable that he will embankment all those who may become Chengqian's enemies.
Li Er, who had made up his mind in his heart, said: "Lord Auxiliary is reasonable, but the emperor's worries are also reasonable, since this is the case, Hou Aiqing's son will accompany the king of Shu to the fiefdom together, and the king of Shu will personally give Shang Fang the sword, which can behead corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and can behead the people who bully the people. ”
Hou Junji was silent on the side, never expecting that this joy would fall from the sky.
Hou Junji hurriedly came out to receive the order and thanked him.
Hou Peiyu is now Li Yuan's guard, that is, the person who secretly spies on Li Yuan, from the official position of Liupin, now that he is transferred, how can he go from the Zi, and the Sixth Rank has not run away.
It can be seen that Hou Junji at this time is trusted and favored by Li Er.
Of course, Hou Peiyu still has the intention of spying on Li Ke, and there is no need for Li Erming to say it, Hou Junji also understands what to do.
The eldest grandson Wuji felt a little sorry in his heart, and originally planned to let his son the eldest grandson Chong serve as a watchdog to further show favor to the prince.
He was also able to grasp Li Ke's movements at any time and secretly arrange plans, but he didn't expect the fruits of victory to fall on Hou Junji.
But it's not bad, at least by the side of this wise King of Shu, a nail was arranged.
Although it is not his own, as long as there is this nail, the King of Shu will inevitably have a dislike for His Majesty.
Maybe it will make the King of Shu hate Hou Junji because of this, and let Hou Junji also move closer to His Highness's side.
The only fly in the ointment is that this son took the opportunity to ask for a Shang Fang sword.
In this way, Li Ke went to Yizhou, and no one could restrain Li Ke, which was also a trouble.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ke, who understood what Li Er meant, didn't say anything more, and thanked him for returning to his position.
What followed was a normal day of court meetings, in which the military camp and the civilian camp quarreled over their own interests.
This made Li Ke, who participated in the early dynasty for the first time, feel quite fresh, and it was also interesting to watch.
Li Er was also happy to see the people below, divided into several factions, fighting back and forth, making decisions when necessary, and the day of the court meeting passed like this.
In 628 AD, Li Shimin personally gave Li Ke, the king of Shu, the sword of Shangfang, and Hou Peiyu, the son of Hou Junji, the general of the Left Guard, as the commander of Yizhou Zhichong Mansion and the general of Dingyuan. Assist the King of Shu to deal with all military affairs in Yizhou, leave Chang'an on the same day, and go to the place.
At the same time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty worshiped Yi Nan as the pearl Viga Khan, and sent envoys to befriend Xue Yantuo.
Hou Junji was very proud of this canonization, but he didn't expect his son to be promoted to three levels in a row, and he had already worshiped the general, so he hurriedly thanked his son for his order.
Hou Junji, who returned to the Hou Mansion, hurriedly found his son, secretly explained, asked his son to pay attention to every move of the King of Shu, and told His Majesty every move of the King of Shu without reservation.
Concubine Yang, who knew that Li Ke was about to take office, looked at Li Ke with tears in her eyes, and instructed the palace maid to prepare bags for Li Ke to travel far, and gave Li Ke all the savings she had accumulated over the years.
It's really a thousand miles of worries! knows nothing like a mother, and Li Ke, who also knows his mother Mo Ruozi, did not refuse.
The sheep has the grace of kneeling and the crow has the righteousness of feeding.
In the next few days, Li Ke went to Penglai Hall to accompany Concubine Yang, and every day was a picture of mother's kindness and filial piety, and she was happy.
Of course, it is also indispensable, the naughty and mischievous Li Su was reprimanded by Li Ke.
Li Ke secretly made up his mind to go to the fiefdom, but if he made anything good, he would definitely give it to the woman in front of him first, so that she would be pleased.
Li Ke, who returned to his residence, put aside his sadness and shouted wildly in his heart, I, Li Ke, finally walked out and took the first step to change my fate, and at the same time warned myself that for the sake of my own life, I must be bold and careful.
Li Ke also understands that there are many people who secretly want to die by themselves, and Li Er's eyes on the bright side, Hou Peiyu, are very small at all.
If he puts all his eyes on Hou Peiyu, he will still go back to history and repeat the mistakes of the past.
After all, if you want to incite the long river of history, this little ant is tantamount to using your mantis arm as a car, which is really a long way to go!
On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese folk festival.
The Chung Yeung Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the harvest sacrifice in the autumn season in ancient times.
The number "nine" is a yang number in the Book of Changes, and the two yang numbers of "ninety-nine" are overlapping, so it is called "double yang"; Because the sun and the moon are all nine, it is also called "heavy nine".
On this day, the great Wei king Li Ke left his place of residence in Chang'an and began his reform journey.
On this day, Li Shimin rarely postponed the early dynasty and came to bid farewell to Li Ke first.
On this day, Concubine Yang held Li Ke by the hand and said goodbye to Li Ke with staggering steps, choked silently, and her eyes showed reluctance.
On this day, outside Chang'an City, beside the road, it was crowded with people who came to see off Li Ke.
