Chapter 836: Conditions
Li Shimin sent people to give advance notice to temporarily suspend the early dynasty, which made many ministers breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Chengqian and Li You were grounded, and they would definitely not participate in the early dynasty, and in this case, the ministers went to the early dynasty, which was tantamount to agreeing with Li Shimin's opinion, which went against their original wishes. But if you don't go to the early dynasty, it is equivalent to directly working against Li Shimin, which is really embarrassing for everyone.
Li Shimin's approach made everyone feel happy, after all, he was a wise and martial emperor, and he knew how to judge the situation and would not act hastily because of personal joy and anger, thus making the situation difficult to manage.
Li Shimin came to the Liangyi Hall as usual and began to talk to the ministers one by one.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji did not resign with everyone, he has always supported Li Chengqian, and his attitude Li Shimin can be clearly distinguished without analysis. Therefore, after the problem occurred in the early dynasty yesterday, Li Shimin did not talk to him, and he did not want to force him to make a statement against his will.
The eldest grandson Wuji is one of Li Shimin's most trusted ministers, and the relationship between the two is very close, and it is very important for him to support this matter, and he also believes that the eldest grandson Wuji will support his opinion.
Li Shimin didn't look for the eldest grandson Wuji yesterday, but he wanted to set aside time for the eldest grandson Wuji to consider what attitude he should show in this matter.
The eldest grandson Wuji was very worried about the unexpected situation in the morning yesterday, he knew Li Shimin too well. He believed that Li Chengqian and Li You had made a very low-level mistake in this matter, and they should not have confronted Li Shimin in public. Even if it is to prevent Li Tai from staying in Chang'an, this matter should be discussed in private, so as not to make things so rigid.
With Li Shimin's temper, if he doesn't give him face in public, he won't be able to get down this step. He will definitely work hard to maintain his authority, so he will definitely insist on keeping Li Tai in Chang'an.
The eldest grandson Wuji's analysis is not wrong, Li Shimin's current state is exactly like this. The question of Li Tai's stay has become a matter of Li Shimin's face.
At present, Li Chengqian and Li You's attitude is also very resolute, and they and Li Shimin are already in a state of being bulls.
To solve this matter, there must be a compromise on one side.
The eldest grandson Wuji's first feeling was to persuade Li Chengqian and Li You to compromise with Li Shimin. Now that the two of them are grounded, it is inconvenient for him to persuade them in person to avoid being suspected by Li Shimin, so he is secretly anxious.
He knew that Li Shimin would definitely talk to him, so he went to Shangshu Province to be on duty and waited for Li Shimin's summons at any time.
Sure enough, not long after he arrived in Shangshu Province today, he was summoned to the Liangyi Hall by Li Shimin.
"Auxiliary, what did you think about yesterday's incident?" Li Shimin asked directly.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest is wrong, even if they have their own different opinions, they should not be forced to go down in public." The eldest grandson Wuji knew that he must not choke the fire at this time, and he first chose to condemn Li Chengqian and Li You.
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary, since Zhenguan 6 years ago, there has not been such a serious incident, and this matter must be dealt with seriously." You have to be clear about it. ”
In the 6th year of Zhenguan, there was an incident of civil official boycott of the dynasty, that is, from that incident, the Tang Dynasty implemented the system of dispersing officials, and it was actually Li Shimin who made a compromise. In Li Shimin's ruling career, this was an incident that made him feel humiliated.
Today's Li Shimin's prestige is in full swing, and he will never make the same concessions as he did back then. Therefore, before he asked for Sun Wuji's opinion, he first expressed his attitude.
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Shimin would definitely ask himself about his opinions on the handling of this matter, and he also thought of his own countermeasures in advance.
He said: "Your Majesty, you are right, this matter is the fault of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest. Yu Gong they did not respect their father, and they did not fulfill their filial piety in private affairs. The minister thought that they should confess their mistakes to His Majesty and ask His Majesty's forgiveness. ”
When Li Shimin heard the attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji, it was obvious that he was making peace with the mud, and it was not a big mistake to say that this matter was just Li Chengqian and Li You, but he just said inappropriate things on an inappropriate occasion.
Li Shimin asked sharply: "Auxiliary, is this the attitude you want to show?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that his answer would not be able to satisfy Li Shimin, but he made up his mind about this matter, and he insisted that Li Chengqian and Li You were just rude to Li Shimin, which belonged to the internal contradictions of the people, and could not be put on the platform.
He lowered his head and did not speak, waiting for Li Shimin to continue to reprimand him.
Li Shimin continued: "Auxiliary, the crown prince and Li You are so unreceiving, they must be dealt with seriously, otherwise they will not be able to uphold the dynasty." As an important minister of the court, you must have a clear attitude towards their crimes. "Li Shimin began to go online.
The eldest grandson Wuji was not frightened by Li Shimin's vicious words, he knew Li Shimin, and knew that the more Li Shimin said this, the less severe he would be to deal with Li Chengqian and Li You. The reason why he wanted to say this to the eldest grandson Wuji must have his purpose.
Regarding this matter, the eldest grandson Wuji has analyzed it countless times. He believes that Li Chengqian and Li You have not been at fault over the years, on the contrary, their performance is remarkable, and they should have an extremely important position in Li Shimin's mind. Li Shimin will not deal with them harshly for the sake of this matter.
But in this matter, Li Shimin must find a step down, that is, he will definitely insist on keeping Li Tai in Chang'an, so that this matter looks like he has won the victory, thus regaining his face. At the same time, let him not feel embarrassed when facing Li Tai.
Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji believed that Li Shimin's final result was to ask Li Chengqian and Li You to admit their mistakes in public, and agree to Li Tai to stay in Chang'an.
Under Li Shimin's questioning, the eldest grandson Wuji said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the minister is really embarrassed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Qingque are both nephews of the minister, you let the minister take a stand, don't let this not let the minister be caught between them? ”
Li Shimin knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was an understanding person, and he had already understood what he meant from the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Li Shimin said: "Li Chengqian and Li You are really too much, they are both their own brothers, but they do things so imperceptibly, I really don't know what to do." You, as an elder, must discipline them well. ”
In terms of disciplining Li Chengqian and Li You, with Li Shimin here, where is the eldest grandson Wuji? The eldest grandson Wuji immediately understood what Li Shimin meant.
Since this incident happened, the eldest grandson Wuji was very worried that Li Shimin was provoked by some people with ulterior motives, and would react excessively in anger. Now it seems that Li Shimin has kept his head clear, and he is still the wise and martial emperor of the ages.
Hearing that Li Shimin treated this matter as a family dispute, the eldest grandson Wuji was completely relieved.
He believes that Li Shimin has made concessions in this matter, and Li Chengqian and Li You should make corresponding compromises, and this matter will be calm after the rain.
He said happily: "Your Majesty, if you agree, the minister is willing to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest, point out their mistakes face to face, let them feel Your Majesty's magnanimity towards them, and let them do their duty as courtiers and sons." ”
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go, just teach them a lesson instead of me." These two bastards, how old they are, and they still don't know how to grow. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the Liangyi Palace, and after walking not far, he saw Wei Zheng coming over. It seems that he is going to see Li Shimin.
The eldest grandson Wuji was worried that Wei Zheng's temper would say something to anger Li Shimin, so he quickly stopped him.
He said, "Lord Wei, are you going to see Your Majesty?" ”
Wei Zheng said: "Yes, I have something in my heart and want to talk to Your Majesty. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Lord Wei, please believe Your Majesty, this matter has been dealt with as a matter of Your Majesty's family. You don't want to make trouble. ”
Wei Zheng is also a smart person, and when he heard the eldest grandson Wuji say this, his heart suddenly felt a lot easier. He said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "There is a long grandson" After speaking, he walked towards his office.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Wei Zheng's back and felt some emotion in his heart. He knew that Wei Zheng was stubborn, and his concern for Li Chengqian and Li You was sincere.
Not long after, the eldest grandson Wuji came to the East Palace, and he said to the officers of the Flying Tiger Army guarding the gate: "At the behest of Your Majesty, I am going to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
