Chapter 162: Changing Your Mind (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On this day, Chang'an was empty, and the people gathered at Jinshuimen.
Not for anything else, just because the hero of the story, Sun Xiangfu, will enter the city today.
The so-called story is, of course, the story made up by Changsun Chong and a few people.
Above the court, the officials of the seven sects and five surnames were counting dozens of charges of Sun Zhengming who had to be beheaded, and Li Shimin, who listened to it, admired the language organization skills of these officials.
"Urgent report, outside the Jinshui Gate, the people of Chang'an City gathered, and the number of people reached hundreds of thousands."
The general standing in the hall ignored the ministers who had heated discussions, and rushed directly into the hall to kneel down to Li Shimin.
"What?"
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at Jinshuimen, which one is singing?
The hundred officials were still stunned when they heard this, but Li Shimin asked with a worried expression.
"What is the so-called gathering of the people?"
"Your Majesty, the people say that they want to welcome the hero's return on the dock?"
"Heroes? That hero? ”
Above the court, many officials looked at the general, and of course, those with quick brain reactions had already guessed some clues.
"Those people said that they were not afraid of death, led 30 people, fought more than 1,000 warriors in the Japanese Kingdom, and finally rescued Sun Zhengming, Sun Yingying, who was the people of the Tang Dynasty from the hands of the Japanese people."
"Poof~"
The crown prince Li Chengqian was young and couldn't hide things in his heart, so he almost laughed when he heard the words, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, fortunately, everyone's attention was on the general who was doing the work at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is still something strange about this matter, and it is necessary to make a decision after a clear investigation." Fang Xuanling didn't say a word when he counted Sun Xiangfu's crimes against the officials of the seven sects and five surnames, but at this time, he jumped out and said.
"The minister seconded the proposal, the will of the people cannot be violated, Your Majesty should obey the will of the people, and after careful investigation, make a decision······"
"The minister seconded the ······"
"The minister seconded the ······"
At this time, it is the time to demonstrate Sun Xiangfu's strength in the court, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang, Du, Qin Qiong, and those who originally stood on the side of Sun Xiangfu do not say, this time, many officials from the Guanlong family, Luoyang, and even Yangzhou have come out to intercede for Sun Xiangfu, although there are still not many officials who shouted to kill him, and they even accounted for three or four percent of the number of people in the court.
"Something is wrong!"
Cui Shixun, who was already in good health, looked at the situation in the court and said secretly in his heart.
"Then, all the left and right guards were dispatched to maintain order on the streets, and Sun Zhengming was transferred from death row to Dali Temple, and after the case was clarified and the crime was discussed, it will be dealt with."
After Li Shimin's order, Youji began to get busy.
It is impossible to say that he didn't know the movements of Changsun Chong and a few other little guys, however, when he made up his mind last night to execute Xiangfu, Changsun Wuji came to Miyagi to find him.
First of all, it is still the question that Fang Xuanling said, even if Sun Xiangfu is to be executed, it should not be now, it must first look at the attitude of the Japanese people.
Secondly, the eldest grandson Wuji actually admitted that this matter was related to him, because he also saw that after the book "Qi Min Yaoshu" was transmitted to the Wa Kingdom, he sent someone to send a message in advance to inform Sun Xiangfu of the harm to the Tang Dynasty, and this is what happened on the dock.
The eldest grandson Wuji means that the good emperor will do it, and the bad people, we will do it as courtiers, and he will do it completely for the sake of the country and the emperor.
Then, help Li Shimin analyze, if Sun Xiangfu is killed, then it will be as those families wish, not to mention that a series of industries operated by Sun Xiangfu are in danger of collapsing, and those families will be more arrogant because of this, and act without scruples, in order to increase the persuasiveness, the eldest grandson Wuji showed Li Shimin three things.
After that, he confessed to Li Shimin about such a play that he instructed his eldest grandson to perform, and his intention was naturally to give Li Shimin a step down, and after that, depending on the reaction of the Wa Kingdom, it would not be too late to deal with Sun Xiangfu.
After a long conversation, Li Shimin finally changed his mind, but he did not make a clear statement to the eldest grandson Wuji, but only told him that he was afraid that he would not be able to do the position of the head of the household.
If you want to say why the eldest grandson Wuji made so much effort to protect his grandson's happiness, in addition to the fact that the eldest grandson queen and Li Chengqian asked him to help intercede, there were also a few things that Li Chunfeng sent to the eldest grandson Wuji overnight.
Salted fish bean paste, white sugar, lychee rock sugar.
These three things, at a critical moment, have become Sun Xiangfu's confidence, they can bring huge benefits to Datang, and Sun Xiangfu, who has mastered these three things, can help the eldest Sun Wuji, or should it be said to help Li Shimin, who is supported by the eldest Sun Wuji, to complete many political dreams.
Therefore, after he finished telling Li Shimin about these things, Li Shimin hesitated.
Li Shimin didn't want to bend the law because of profit, but for the sake of a Japanese country, he felt that it was not worth it to lose so many benefits.
If one eldest grandson Wuji is not enough, then what about adding a Lingnan Feng family!
Killing Sun Xiangfu, the land of Lingnan may fall into turmoil again, Feng Zhidai is not just talking, nor is it a threat to Li Shimin, because Sun Xiangfu cured the big belly disease in Lingnan, planted a yield of ten stones and three grains per mu, so that the people of Lingnan no longer have to endure the pain and lack of food, he is the benefactor of the Lingnan people, killing Sun Xiangfu, will definitely make the people of Lingnan deviate from the court.
Li Shimin had to weigh these things, and in the end, Li Shimin found that there was one more person in this world who he couldn't dispose of at will, which made him very unhappy, so he decided to give Sun Xiangfu some hardships first, and the rest of the accounts would be calculated separately.
Li Shimin, who returned to the study, specially asked people to find dishes and chopsticks to taste the salted fish and bean paste that was praised by the eldest grandson Wuji, and after eating, he somewhat understood why the eldest grandson Wuji spent so much effort to persuade himself, this Sun Xiangfu is really a baby, this salted fish and bean sauce can solve the urgency of salt in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a great achievement for the country and the people.
Then, he ate a spoonful of white sugar, the taste of the salty and sweet war was very refreshing, this was the sweetest time Li Shimin had eaten in his life, who told him to eat salted fish and eat white sugar just after eating.
After that, a piece of lychee candy the size of a fingernail shell was put into his mouth, and suddenly, he experienced what it means to have a fragrant tongue, so he immediately picked up the remaining lychee rock candy and went to the harem.
Therefore, in the early dynasty, Li Shimin's worry was because he did not expect that there would be so many people mobilized by Changsun Chong, and he was worried that there would be a stampede.
"Well, return to Beijing as a minister, Chunzhou Assassin Feng Zhidai, enter the court to discuss matters."
After issuing the order to detain Sun Xiangfu in Dali Temple, Li Shimin said again.
Hearing this, the attendants who announced the decree became busy.
