Chapter 80: The Second Saint Pilgrimage
Li Yuan strode into the Liangyi Palace, and behind him, Xiao Chen's father-in-law followed closely. When Li Shimin saw Li Yuan, he quickly stood up, a look of horror flashed on his face, but he immediately calmed down again, now there are his men inside and outside the palace, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been replaced, even if Li Yuan appears here, he can't shake his throne.
Stabilizing his mind, Li Shimin hurriedly got down from the dragon seat, came to Li Yuan, and bowed: "The son of the emperor to see his father." ”
"Humph!" Li Yuan snorted and ignored him. Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Please ask my father to ascend to the throne." ”
Li Yuan didn't sit down, stood still in front of the hundred officials, glanced back at the dragon chair, and said, "Forget it, since I have already given you this seat, how can there be any reason to sit on it again." ”
When the officials heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. The two saints are in the court, which has never existed in ancient times, if Li Yuan sits on the dragon chair again and spreads out, the world will be in an uproar.
"I'm ...... Today"
"The Emperor!" Wei Zheng saw Li Yuan coming here, his heart was flustered, he knew that Li Yuan and Li Mu had a close relationship, and when Li Yuan wanted to accept Li Mu as his godson that day, Wei Zheng was also present and witnessed Li Mu enter the Li clan.
Li Yuan's appearance in the Liangyi Hall reminded Wei Zheng of this matter, since Li Mu has entered the Li clan, that is a person in the royal family, a person in the royal family has broken the law, Dali Temple can't be managed, it has to be managed by Zongzheng Temple, Zongzheng Siqing is Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, he is Li Shimin's cousin, so can Li Mu still die?
Therefore, he had to interrupt Li Yuan in a loud voice: "Emperor Taishang! With all due respect, there are no two days in the sky, no two kings in the earth, no two masters in the family, and no two respects! Since you have abdicated, you should not be here! ”
Li Yuan glanced at Wei Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Who should I be so majestic, it turns out to be Wei Zheng who came down and ran away at night back then!" Back then, the little knife and pen clerk is now also in the court class, hehe, it seems that I am a Tang Dynasty, and I am really a talent! ”
In a word, it poked at Wei Zheng's sore spot, but he couldn't have a seizure, and his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. The hundred officials did not dare to make a sound, especially Gao Shilian, Wei Chigong, Changsun Wuji and other people who had participated in the Xuanwumen Change, all of them had a look of shame on their faces, and they did not dare to raise their heads and look at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and said, "Shimin, I ask you, is this world still Li Tang's world?" ”
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Father, of course, this world is Li Tang's world, and it is the world that my father passed on to his sons." ”
"Yes!" Li Yuan sneered: "But how do I think, now above this court, there is no more etiquette of a monarch and a minister!" Shimin, when you were the king of Qin, you fought the world for me, your bearing was magnificent, and you had the style of a general, some old ministers said to me, you have the atmosphere of a Ming monarch, so I looked up to you, but now that you are the emperor, how can you cower and be forced into such a situation by a courtier, it is really not disappointing for me! ”
Li Shimin was embarrassed and angry, glared at Wei Zheng fiercely, lowered his head and said, "Erchen is terrified!" Erchen will definitely reprimand Zheng Guogong......"
"No need!" Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "You are going to be a Ming Jun, I understand your inconvenience." He provoked me, and I cleaned him up myself! This old bone of mine can still move, and I don't have to borrow someone else's hand! Anyway, I've already abdicated, and I don't care about any reputation! ”
"Father!"
Li Shimin was about to stop him, but Li Yuan had already crossed him and came to Wei Zheng.
"Lift your head up."
Wei Zheng felt humiliated in his heart, but in the face of Li Yuan, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to raise his head.
Li Yuan rounded his arm and snapped on the ground, and Wei Zheng had a few more fingerprints on the left side of his face, which swelled up when he landed.
"Humph! This slap is to let you know that it is the duty of a courtier! ”
Seeing this, the hundred officials knelt down again: "The ministers know their mistakes, please calm the emperor's anger!" ”
Li Shimin also hurriedly said: "Father, it's all the fault of the sons, the sons have lived up to their father's expectations, and the sons are sorry for their father!" ”
Li Yuan glanced at the hundred officials who were kneeling together, and said, "I will make it clear, I came to the Liangyi Hall today just for Li Mu's kid." I and Li Mu are old friends, and I understand his temper and temperament as a child. I also see what he does. Although I am old, I am not confused! I can say that there are many people who have contributed to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in my Tang Dynasty, but if you say that the merit exceeds that of Li Mu's boy, there are few people! ”
"Don't talk about the side, just Zhenguan plow, how many people can be fed! Is it worth it? ”
"Now that I have abdicated, I don't want to care about the affairs of the DPRK and China, and I don't want to know. But if you want to harm my Tang Dynasty talents for your own selfish interests, I have to ask! I put my words here today, Li Mu, I am safe! Who has something to say! ”
When Wei Zheng heard this, he covered his face and knelt down for a few steps, pestle his head on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, what Li Mu committed is a murderous crime, and you can't spare it because of the emperor's words!" ”
"You still dare to speak!"
Li Yuan raised a kick, kicked Wei Zheng in all directions, and said angrily: "Wei Zheng, you don't dare to be presumptuous in front of me just because there are a few people behind you to support you!" Do you really dare not kill you? When I was chasing the world, I didn't put anyone in my eyes! What are you? ”
Wei Zheng got up and saw Li Yuan's eyes clear, and he was indeed a little scared in his heart. He dared to be presumptuous in front of Li Shimin because he knew Li Shimin's weaknesses. Li Shimin's throne is not coming in the right way, this is his biggest constraint, he wants to be a Ming monarch too much, so no matter how angry he is, he will not easily order to kill. But Li Yuan is different, he has already abdicated, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are apologetic to Li Yuan because of the incident of Xuanwumen back then, he wants to kill people, no one dares to stop him, even Li Shimin does not dare!
But now that things have come to this point, life and death are no longer important, Wei Zheng turned his heart sideways, and he was about to speak, and at this moment, he heard Li Yuan speak.
"Li Shimin, you are already the emperor today, and it is said that Li Mu's life and death should not be decided by me. It's okay, I don't decide, I only ask you one thing, you, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, really want to kill a filial son? ”
Li Shimin paused for a moment, then his face changed greatly, he knelt on the ground, and said, "Erchen doesn't dare!" ”
Before the hundred officials understood what was going on, the eldest grandson Wuji was the first to react and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Zhulu Hou Li Mu killed Zhao Yuanlang because Zhao Yuanlang insulted his mother first, and Zhulu Hou Li Mu is a person of filial piety, and it is reasonable to kill him in anger. You can be punished, but you shouldn't die! Your Majesty, please make a clear decision! ”
Wei Zheng looked at the eldest grandson Wuji in shock, he didn't understand, why the eldest grandson Wuji, who had not spoken, would stand up at this time, did he want to curry favor with the emperor? No, because of the matter of Xuanwumen, he should know in his heart that no matter how much he pleases, he will not be forgiven, why is this!
At this moment, Li Jing walked out slowly, raised the wat board, and said: "Your Majesty, although the Marquis of Zhulu has only one side relationship with the minister, he risked his life to escape from the Turkic camp and pass on the critical military information, so that the war ended at least half a year early, saving countless money and food for the imperial court, and also saving the lives of my Tang soldiers. ”
Li Jing also stood up! Wei Zheng suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, didn't he not participate in the major affairs of the DPRK and China, how could he open the golden mouth for Li Mu?
Tang Jian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, on the occasion of the separation yesterday, Li Mu said to the ministers, don't forget the appointment of the first meeting. The minister didn't understand what he meant at the time, and it wasn't until after Li Mu killed someone that the minister understood what he meant. Your Majesty, the minister once talked with Li Mu about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and he said to the minister that if he wanted to choose between loyalty and filial piety, he would choose filial piety first. He said that his biological father died early, and it was not easy for his mother to give birth to him. If he had not been born without his mother, he would not have come to this world, let alone talk about loyalty, benevolence, and righteousness. Zhao Yuanlang insulted his mother, and he killed Zhao Yuanlang, and the minister was not surprised at all. It's just that there is a reason for it, please see it wisely, Your Majesty! ”
Li Ji also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is Li Mu's father-in-law, and he should avoid suspicion. But now ......"
"Enough!"
Seeing that there were more and more people speaking for Li Mu, and the officials of Wei Zheng's family were also about to move, Li Shimin had to stand up and stop.
"Father, don't worry, Erchen will give you an explanation, you go back to the palace to rest first, and later, Erchen will ask Li Mu to go and greet you."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "It's so good, I'm old, there are few people who can look at it, and if there is one less, I feel uncomfortable." ”
Xiao Chen's father-in-law came over to help, Li Yuan walked outside the hall, and suddenly he stood down, turned back to Baiguan and said: "Tomorrow, ah, it's the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is in Chongrenfang, I heard that there is a ...... called."
Xiao Chen's father-in-law reminded in a low voice: "Emperor Taishang, call heaven and earth." ”
"Ah, yes! Heaven and earth! Heaven and earth! Li Yuan laughed and said: "This heaven and earth is about to open, the name is good!" I'm very interested, if you have time, come and have a good time! ”
“……”
The officials didn't know how to deal with it, and Li Shimin was also embarrassed. Father, your advertisements have hit the Liangyi Palace, this is really ...... What could he say, he had to say: "Since the Emperor Taishang said so, you Aiqing, go and have a scene when you have time." ”
The hundred officials couldn't cry or laugh, so they had to agree: "The ministers obey the order." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a twenty-percent discount then......" Suddenly realizing that he seemed to have missed his mouth, Li Yuan went out with a haha, and just outside the palace, Xiao Chen's father-in-law complained in a low voice: "The Emperor, you said it was missing." ”
"A bunch of fools, they don't know what the eight-fold means, what are they afraid of?"
Xiao Chen's father-in-law was about to cry: "Emperor Taishang, we haven't gone far yet, let's be quiet......"
The footsteps were far away, and in the Liangyi Palace, it was embarrassing and quiet.
Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Retreat!" ”
The hundred officials retired, and Gonggong Gao left the three prime ministers, the six Shangshu, plus Tang Jian and Li Ji, and took them to the Taiji Palace. Emperor Taishang made a fuss, and Li Mu's life was saved, but the matter of wiping his ass is not over yet, but these things cannot be said in front of hundreds of officials, or get the Taiji Hall and solve it slowly behind closed doors.
