Chapter 623: Punishment and Purge

Everyone's attitude towards trouble is different.

Some people like to rise to the challenge, while others run away.

Li Su belongs to the latter group.

This has nothing to do with cowardice, Li Suchun only thinks that trouble is a very troublesome thing, just like a stain in the eyes of a person with a habit of cleanliness, a piece of used toilet paper, a lump of cow lying on its back and eight forks in the middle of the road, not afraid of it, but deeply disgusted with it.

So Dongyang started to talk, and Li Su decisively decided to slip away, because every word of Dongyang exudes a strong smell of trouble, Li Su doesn't even want to listen to it, and as soon as he hears it, he enters the play, and once he enters the play, the trouble will be on his body, and he can't shake it off like snot.

Although he only listened to the beginning of a sentence, Li Su realized that this matter was not an ordinary trouble, the two countries were harmonious, the princess was not obedient, and there was a sentence "the heart belongs", the princess of the Tang Dynasty has not yet married, and the green light on the top of the head of Songtsen Gampo, the head of Tubo, is faintly visible......

The circle of elites was already chaotic, and now the Tubo barbarians on the plateau have to step in, and the Tubo barbarians who were originally innocent and only knew how to fight and kill were also led astray by the Tang Dynasty.

Li Su decided to stay out of the matter, whether the princess has a heart, or whether Songtsan Gampo is green or oily, it is someone else's business, Li Shimin gave him the task of entertaining the Tubo minister, and managing the minister's eating, drinking and having fun in Chang'an, when he was full and had enough, he took the Tang princess to set off back to Tubo, Li Su patted his ass and handed over the errand to the Ministry of Rites, and it was done, and he lived a lazy and outrageous life with peace of mind.

…………

On the third day after Li Su returned from Taiji Palace, some changes suddenly occurred in the court.

The two squires of Shangshu Province, the three imperial historians of the Yushitai, and the five commanders were suddenly locked up and taken to prison, not only that, but the officials also issued six official documents in a row, and all the six county orders of Hedong and Shannan were dismissed in one go, and new officials were selected by the Ministry of Officials.

For three days in a row, the will of the Taiji Palace came out frequently, each of which represented a major personnel change, and the dismissed officials or generals were all charged with crimes, some were greedy for ink, some were involved in civil life lawsuits, and some of the house building specifications exceeded the system, etc., the charges were varied, and the court and the ministers were shocked at the same time, but also took a good lesson in law popularization.

The results of the disposal were also unusually fast, the day after these officials and generals were imprisoned, the results of the disposal came out of the palace, a squire was beheaded, and the rest confiscated their family property and traveled thousands of miles, a typical severe and fast sentence.

The charges are all grandiose, and every one of them can fool people, but after pulling down so many officials at the same time, fools understand that this is extraordinary, and there must be an inside story. Those so-called crimes, when brought to the table, are naturally reasonable, but His Majesty the Emperor's actions obviously mean something, as for who they refer to, it is not necessarily clear to everyone.

Li Shimin's actions threw a boulder at the calm and waveless court, and for a time the waves were stormy, and everyone was in danger.

As early as the eleventh year of Zhenguan, the court also experienced a purge, which was the means taken to stabilize the rear before Li Shimin's northern expedition to Xue Yantuo, this time, Li Shimin was equivalent to another small-scale cleansing of the court, but everyone did not know what it was.

Interestingly, Li Shimin's slightly rough and even "tyrannical" way of doing things, although the courtiers were suspicious, but none of them stood up to question the truth, even the loyal and upright old man Wei Zheng, who was happy to challenge the limit of survival for this life, did not say a word about Li Shimin's perverse behavior, standing in the court class with his eyes closed and recuperating, as if he was too empty.

And the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, these important ministers of the three provinces, did not say a word, and their faces were expressionless.

Wei Zheng, who had a temper tantrum, didn't say a word, obviously the situation was even more wrong, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and didn't dare to speak, and there was a strange silence in the court.

In silence, all the officials who were held accountable had their heads beheaded, and the exiled people were exiled, and the outcome could not be changed.

A few days later, the people of Fanyang Lu's family came to Chang'an, and the person who came was Lu Hong, the eldest son of the head of the family. The Ministry of Rites didn't know if it had received any instructions, and deliberately hung Lu Hong for three days before notifying Lu Hong to enter the palace to meet Li Shimin.

No one knows what Li Shimin and Lu Hong talked about, only that the final result was that the guests and hosts were happy, Li Shimin laughed and personally sent Lu Hong out of the hall, Lu Hong was full of complicated and bitter smiles, and hurried out of the city and went back on the day he left the palace.

It was only at this time that all the courtiers suddenly realized who they had beaten up with this mess a while ago.

Fan Yang Lu's family suffered heavy losses this time, judging from the official positions of those criminals, the Lu family lost the squire, the imperial history, the commander, and the two very sensitive military generals in the army, Li Shimin's stick really made the Lu family throb, and once he made a move, it greatly weakened the power of the Lu family in the court.

Why did you clean up the Lu family, why did you act so ruthlessly, the reason is tacit, you know what your Lu family has done, and if you dare to incite the people to rebel against my Li family, you have to be mentally prepared to be buried by my Li family...... What the? The Wang family also has a share? That's right, the Taiyuan Wang family does have a share, but who told people to turn around the muzzle of the gun quickly, not to mention being a tainted witness? Therefore, the Wang family was blessed and married to the heavenly family, while the Lu family was chopped off with a hand, which is the difference in treatment between the former and the latter.

After the Lu family came, the courtiers in Chang'an finally understood what was going on.

The purge is targeted, Li Shimin is not a tyrant, and it is reasonable to kill people, and the Lu family dares to incite rebellion, so some of the important positions occupied in the court must be let out, this is the punishment, and for the gate valve, this is also the most painful punishment, which is more painful than killing the direct children.

****************************************************************

A series of changes, Li Su stayed at home and watched the excitement leisurely, unaware that these changes were all caused by him, although the Wang family was eager to get rid of him quickly, the Fan Yang Lu family wanted to crush him to ashes, but Li Su himself was in ...... Grilled chicken wings?

No way, suddenly there are two more guests in the house, both of whom are small guests.

One is the little kid Li Zhi, the other is the little son, the brother and sister held hands and got out of the carriage, the little son got off the carriage and jumped into Li Su's arms in surprise for the first time, tearfully accusing Li Su of throwing her down and running to Jinyang How unkind.

It can be seen that the relationship between the brother and sister is very good, Li Zhi is very serious about holding the little son's hand wherever he goes, caring for him as gently as a brother, and then when he raised his face, Li Su unfortunately saw a mean smile on his face again.

"It's fat, it seems to be strong...... Li Su looked at the little son with great affection, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her round little face, which was pink and tender as if she could pinch out the water.

The little son giggled, and his big clear eyes bent into a crescent moon: "Father said the same thing, Mingda feels that he can eat and sleep more recently than before, and he can eat a lot of food at every meal......"

Exaggeratedly patted his little belly, and the little son showed a sad expression: "What if Mingda eats a big fat man in the future?" I will marry someone in the future, who will marry me who is fat like a pig in the future? ”

Li Su laughed: "The emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, don't worry, don't worry, with your father and the emperor, you will definitely be able to get married." ”

The little son shook his head: "My father said, I can wanton my life as I want, I don't have to be married by my father like other sisters, and when Mingda grows up in the future, I can choose my own Ruyi Langjun, even if I am from a poor background, my father will not stop me." ”

Li Su's expression moved slightly, it seems that Li Shimin really hurt the little son into his bones, and even allowed her to make her own decisions in marriage.

Of course, most of these words were said before, and the famous doctors in the past concluded that she would not live to survive, and Li Shimin was distressed, so he naturally made countless unrealistic promises to her.

Blinking, Li Su teased: "So, does the little son think he is beautiful?" ”

The little son's face turned red, and he actually lowered his head and became shy, and he was stunned for a long time before he chuckled: "Everyone in the palace said...... Mingda was born beautifully. ”

Li Su smiled, it turned out that no matter how old a woman is, from five to fifty years old, she cares about the word "beautiful" very much, and those who are as cute as a little son are not exempt from vulgarity.

Li Su continued to tease: "But little son, have you heard of the eighteen changes of the female university? ”

The little boy blinked and shook his head blankly.

"The eighteenth change of the female college means that the girl who looked cute and beautiful when she was a child will not be beautiful or cute after the age of eighteen, maybe she will be as fat as a pig, with a bucket waist, a pockmarked face, and a slap wide to protect the heart hair......"

Before he finished speaking, the little son showed an extremely frightened expression and took two steps back.

"Now let me ask you again, is the little son beautiful?"

The little son shook his head again and again, and said hurriedly: "It's not beautiful, I'm ugly, I'm too ugly!" ”

Turning his head to look at Li Zhi, the little son told him very seriously: "Brother Pheasant, you have to remember, you are not allowed to say that I am beautiful in the future!" Otherwise, it will be very troublesome for me to marry when I grow up! ”

Li Su laughed, and Li Zhi nodded helplessly.

…………

The first time he came to the Li family, Li Zhi behaved very strangely, and the little son had lived in the Li family for some days before, and was very familiar with the inside and outside of the Li family, so the little son led Li Zhi to walk around the Li family inside and out with an arrogant master attitude, and from time to time introduced the scenery and rooms of the Li family to Li Zhi in the tone of adults and children.

It was almost noon, and the two little children finished shopping around the Li family and returned to the vestibule hand in hand.

When it was time for dinner, it was natural to entertain the two little guys, so Li Su simply led the two to set up a stove in the vestibule and roasted chicken wings for the two.

"Brother Zizheng, I heard that the Prime Minister of Tubo is coming to Chang'an? Father also handed over the errand of entertaining the prime minister to you? Li Zhi stepped forward and asked shyly.

"Not bad. What advice does Your Highness have? ”

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Take me, let me also see what the Tibetan barbarians look like, I heard that they live on the snowy mountains, with no hair on their heads, long feet and short hands, and they will look up to the sky and shout twice when they take two steps......"

Li Su's face darkened: "You should really reflect on your news channel, the species you said is called Tyrannosaurus rex, and it disappeared tens of millions of years ago......
