Chapter 523: Amnesty to the World
The next day, Li Shimin summoned all the ministers and others into the court.
Li Chengqian is also among them, and as for the eldest grandson queen, because of the joy, she will not go out of the court for the time being.
Li Shimin's interest was very high, and his voice was also an octave higher.
"I asked everyone to come here today because I have something to announce, because the queen is pregnant with a dragon son, and she is also the first year of my reign in charge of the Tang Dynasty, which is a great thing! Great joy too! That's why I want to give amnesty to the world! All commercial taxes, local taxes, and taxes in Datang are halved! The punishment for repeat offenders is light, and the misdemeanor is released, so that the world can celebrate it! ”
The queen is happy, which makes Li Shimin think a lot, this is his first year as an emperor, and he is pregnant with a son-in-law, of course, he is happy.
That's why there is a move to amnesty the world.
Coupled with the halving of taxes, that is what merchants and ordinary people want most.
Of course, there are also some officials who may be reused as a result.
When Li Shimin said this, it made Li Chengqian a little uncomfortable.
Why?
Because there are some people who are within the scope of the pardon, this prince has not come at the right time.
But that's how history goes, he can't ban Li Shimin and Empress Changsun from having children in the same room, right? It may even be that because of his soap problem, Li Shimin is more fond of Empress Changsun.
There are also some undesirable people who may also return to Chang'an City.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise! The world is also very lucky"
The ministers said in unison at this time.
Li Shimin's interest became very high.
Suddenly, at this time, Wang Junkuo stood up and said: "Your Majesty is happy to get the dragon son, and the world is amnesty, and the minister thinks that the eldest grandson Wuji can let him return to Chang'an City." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian was directly stunned back.
"The eldest grandson Wuji has committed a serious crime, and he should not be among the pardons."
What are you kidding, get him back?
Li Chengqian was the first to refuse.
Xiao Yu also joined the discussion.
He said: "The eldest grandson Wuji is the eldest brother of Her Royal Highness the Queen. and should be among the ranks of forgiveness. ”
I have heard that a mother is expensive for a son, but I have never heard of a brother being expensive for a sister, but despite this, the opinions of these two have been recognized by some people.
Many ministers also joined in and said that the eldest grandson Wuji would return.
Li Chengqian is not afraid of the eldest grandson Wuji, if he is allowed to return, then this guy may die.
Why, because he didn't let him die last time, let him come back this time, he will have to die.
Du Ruhui also joined in and said:
"Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Wuji is so rebellious, he shouldn't be pardoned!"
"Your Majesty, although the eldest grandson Wuji has committed a big crime, he has also made great contributions, and he has fought side by side with His Majesty! Lots of success! The current eldest grandson Wuji is already somewhat disabled, and he can be recalled and let him take care of his old age. ”
Wang Junkuo also said.
In fact, it is not that Li Chengqian does not dare to kill the eldest grandson Wuji, but that he wants to take care of the face of the eldest grandson queen, and letting him be exiled is the best end, these people really want to use the eldest grandson Wuji to pressure Li Chengqian.
In fact, this is harming the eldest grandson Wuji! Let him come back, he must die!
These pig teammates are really not too much.
One side agrees and the other opposes, and the people on both sides even quarrel.
made Li Shimin's face darken.
Then he said: "Since I want to give amnesty to the world, then whoever it is, will comply." ”
Li Shimin clearly wants to let the eldest grandson Wuji return, which can basically be seen from this tone.
After all, people have feelings, but this is harming the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Chengqian doesn't care, since this is the case, then Li Chengqian will let that person come back.
So he said: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that there is a person who is more suitable to return!" ”
"Who?"
"Gao Shilian!"
As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone knew what was going on.
The current Gao Shilian can be said to be oriented towards Li Chengqian, because he has been convinced by Li Chengqian, and he should listen to himself.
Since you let the eldest grandson Wuji come back, then I will let Gao Shilian come back.
Take Gao Shilian to suppress the eldest grandson Wuji, if he is disobedient, it is not impossible to kill the eldest grandson Wuji with Gao Shilian's hand.
In that case, you don't have to make a move.
Others also seemed to find out what Li Chengqian was going to do, and also said: "Gao Shilian is the uncle of Her Royal Highness the Empress, and he should be more suitable for return than the eldest grandson Wuji." ”
Fang Xuanling said: "Since Gao Shilian served as the governor of Yizhou, he has profoundly implemented every order issued by the imperial court, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so that the people can rest assured. ”
Gao Shilian in history has indeed made a great deal. Deeply loved by the people, such a capable person, why not reuse it?
It is undoubtedly a great thing to let him return now.
In terms of Li Chengqian's kindness to Gao Shilian, his return can help Li Chengqian in many things.
Regarding Li Chengqian's proposal, Wang Junkuo and the others also had nothing to say, and they didn't dare to stop it, because if they stopped it, then the eldest grandson Wuji would not be able to come back.
Why? Because their reasons will also become Li Chengqian's reasons, why can a person like the eldest grandson Wuji, who has no merit from exile to the present, come back, but Gao Shilian, who has merit, can't come back?
The obvious double standard makes people feel contemptible.
"Also, in this way, I will let Gao Shilian enter the court, serve as the secretary of the ministry, and enter the title of Xu Guogong."
Li Shimin also knew that it was a powerful relationship, so he had to say so.
In this way, Gao Shilian was able to return.
And at least the eldest grandson Wuji, who only returned, did not seal any officials, after all, the amnesty was already the best relief for him.
is also because the life of the eldest grandson Wuji is hard enough, otherwise ordinary people would have died as scum at this time.
And once he returns, he may not be of much use.
After all, the current Shangshuling is Li Chengqian. No matter how strong he is, how can he be stronger than Shang Shuling? What else can you do? What about jokes, it can't be!
After that, Li Shimin made some more explanations and retired from the court.
After retiring from the court, Li Chengqian walked in front of Wang Junkuo and Xiao Yu.
"Wang Junkuo, this king advises you to keep your distance from the eldest grandson Wuji, otherwise I don't know how you will die at that time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he left the court directly, leaving two people there in a daze.
This may really be a threat.
But some people will always go to death.
Wang Junkuo said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to want to see us!?" ”
Xiao Yu said angrily: "So what, ask for medicine with him, and never give it, then only letting his enemies come is the king." ”
"Song Guogong's trick is high. Where is His Royal Highness the Prince? ”
"Don't bother with it, we have to reinstate the eldest grandson Wuji, so that it is possible to bring down the crown prince."
The two of them then smiled in understanding......
