Wei Zheng is not the only one who is hated by the court. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Basically, the people who hold the official position of "Imperial History" are not very likable. Since the official position of "Imperial History" in history has been picking on thorns and spraying people, this official position has stinked on the street, and both monarchs and ministers have avoided it from afar, for fear of getting into a fishy smell.

So people like Yushi unknowingly became an underworld force in the court, of course, the official face is called "Qingliu", but in private they are called "speech officials", "mouth officials", as the name suggests, this kind of people exist for the purpose of scolding people and spraying people.

Although hateful, it is undeniable that this official position does have the need to exist, they are the catalyst to promote the dynasty to prosperity and prosperity, from the deviation of the direction of the national policy and military, to the trivial matters such as the personal morality of the monarch and the minister, and even the neatness of the clothes, etc., are all within the scope of their nagging, and the court has this kind of person, in order to fully ensure that the power of the emperor will not be unrestrained, and that the formulation and implementation of the national policy will not produce mistakes and omissions.

Feng Du's recital gradually fermented, whether it was intentional or accidental, in short, inexplicably other imperial histories were involved, Li Shimin ignored it twice and three times, and the hearts of the imperial historians became heavier and heavier, this group of people is not only short-tempered, but also like a teenager in the rebellious period of youth, the more you ignore me, the more you want to block you, and harass you until you have to face it.

The matter is actually not big, urging the princes of the year to go to the local state capital to take office, it is reasonable and legal, but Li Shimin's indifferent attitude makes the imperial historians very dissatisfied, since the etiquette and rules have been set, of course they must be obeyed, otherwise what are you doing when you settle down?

As a result, a matter that was not big in the first place, but due to Li Shimin's attitude, it became more and more troublesome.

On the fifth day after Feng Du went to the court, after Li Shimin stayed in the middle school for the third time, more and more people participated in this matter.

The twelve imperial historians were dismissed at the same time, of course, they were all talking about the same thing, and it was time for the adult princes to go to the local state capital.

By this time, a handful of courtiers had finally sensed that something was wrong.

It was a very small thing, but it made the twelve imperial historians invariably the same, I am afraid that it is not simple behind this matter, if it is a coincidence or purely out of justice, this is said to be believed.

There were more and more imperial histories in Shangshu, and on the sixth day, Li Shimin finally had to face it.

Because at the court meeting on the sixth day, there was already an imperial history who mentioned the matter in front of him in the main hall.

Li Shimin's expression was unpredictable, and he quickly glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and then calmly asked the courtiers to express their opinions on this matter.

It is said that "each expresses his own opinion", but in fact, the trend of public opinion in the hall has shown a one-sided trend.

This is not a matter at all without any need to discuss, the place where the adult prince goes to take office is the Tang Dynasty etiquette rules, everyone didn't mention this matter before, because Li Shimin turned a blind eye, and the courtiers naturally didn't want to block the heavenly family, and now this layer of window paper has been pierced, then, the etiquette rules and regulations must really be moved to the table to talk about the right thing.

To put it more seriously, this is called "ancestral law", originally some ancestral laws are irrelevant, and it is just like that if they are taken out and hyped up as a hot topic, the matter will be serious. What's more, there is nothing wrong with the adult prince leaving Beijing to take up his post, and there are a few fewer disasters in Chang'an City......

Therefore, the attitude of all the courtiers in the palace was all agreeable, and many even stood up directly, asking Li Shimin to issue an order immediately, ordering the princes who died in Chang'an to leave Beijing immediately, including Li Ke, the king of Wu who had just found an excuse to return to Chang'an, and had to pack his luggage and get out of the house immediately.

Obviously he is a dragon noble, but today he has become like a mouse that everyone shouts and beats, Li Shimin sat in the hall, and the more he listened, the darker his face became.

Rules are rules, and rules should indeed be followed, but ...... What does your attitude of eagerness to send the plague god mean? Are my sons so annoying?

Li Shimin is unhappy, although most of his sons are indeed not very angry, but after all, they are all his own sons, Li Shimin is not a good father, but he also has the heart to protect his calves.

"The matter...... Let's talk about it later. Li Shimin finally made a statement.

The ministers immediately shut up.

You are the emperor and you are the biggest, since you don't want to talk, of course everyone will not continue to look for death. In the crowd, more than a dozen imperial historians looked unwilling, but they still knew the current affairs and didn't say more.

After this incident, Li Shimin's mood was not very good, and the court meeting naturally couldn't go on.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin returned to the Ganlu Hall with a gloomy face, sat alone for a long time, and suddenly raised his voice to summon Chang Tu.

Chang Tu is still the expressionless coffin face, and there is no change in his attitude in the face of Li Shimin, Li Shimin has long been accustomed to Chang Tu's expression, in his eyes, Chang Tu has become his shadow, as early as the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Chang Tu has sworn to live and die with Li Shimin, if Li Shimin dies, he will immediately wipe his neck, so Li Shimin regards him as his own shadow and gives him the greatest trust, if a person dies, the shadow will naturally be buried in the soil, no matter how suspicious the person is, he will never suspect that his shadow will betray him.

Chang Tu stood in the hall and didn't speak, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Go and investigate, what is going on with the so-called prince's place to take office, and whether there is anyone behind this matter." ”

Chang Tu received the order and left without a sound.

Silence returned to the hall.

Li Shimin leaned on the cushion with his eyes closed, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table, and fell into deep thought.

In the end of any conspiracy, there is a purpose that must be achieved, and there is no purposeless conspiracy in the world, so if someone is really manipulating this matter behind the scenes, what is the purpose he wants to achieve?

The prince is in office?

There are more than a dozen princes, of which there are fourteen adult ones, and only three of these adult princes really go to the place honestly, and eleven people stay in Chang'an, so which prince does the final purpose of this conspiracy point to? What do they want to do?

Without any basis, Li Shimin certainly couldn't figure it out.

However, Li Shimin was not in a hurry, he knew that if this was a conspiracy, as long as their goal was not achieved, the final answer would still automatically surface.

After sitting for another half an hour, Li Shimin knocked on the table and said loudly: "Come on, summon the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Chu Suiliang into the palace to discuss matters!" ”

…………

The three of the eldest grandson Wuji came quickly.

There was not much politeness when the monarch and the minister met, and Li Shimin went directly to the topic.

"In the past few days, the imperial history has been sparse one after another, asking the prince to go out of Beijing to take office, what do you think of this matter?"

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and was silent.

Fang Xuanling looked at the two on the left and right, and saw that the two had no intention of speaking, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to say: "It is their duty to neglect political affairs in the imperial history, besides, the ministers also feel that the imperial historians are right, it is not a good thing for an adult prince to stay in Chang'an and not leave......

Li Shimin nodded, then looked at Chu Suiliang, and said with a smile: "What does Chu Qing think?" ”

Chu Suiliang thought for a while and said: "The minister seconded what the minister said, the prince's appointment is a rule, and it is not easier to make the law, and no one has mentioned it in the past, since someone has openly uncovered and torn it, then, it is better to do it according to the rules, otherwise Your Majesty will inevitably be ......criticized by the subjects."

Li Shimin was noncommittal, turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji: "That's what the auxiliary machine means?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji picked himself up cleanly and said with a smile: "The minister has nothing to say." ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The minister thinks that whether the princes go to the post or not, it is the business of the heavenly family itself, Your Majesty has its own considerations, the prince will not leave Beijing, and it will have no impact on the city of Tang Prefecture, and the affairs that should be managed will eventually be handled by local officials and military generals, some people say that a very small number of princes have bad conduct, and often bullying the people, which has nothing to do with whether they go to the place or not, even if they are all driven out of Chang'an, it will not help, and when the people should be bullied, they will still be bullied, and even intensified." Therefore, the minister thinks that there is no difference between the prince and the prince not leaving Beijing, if the prince does not love the people, and after it is distributed to the local state capital, the bullying of the people will become worse, it will be even worse. ”

Li Shimin nodded slowly, originally suspecting that this matter was caused by the eldest grandson Wuji behind his back, but after the eldest grandson Wuji said these mud-like words, the trace of doubt in Li Shimin's heart also dissipated without a trace.
