Chapter 644: Secret Verification
Zhang Xuansu's background is not small. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The qualifications of those who can be appointed by Li Shimin as a subordinate of the East Palace are by no means simple.
The East Palace is the foundation of the society, and the work of assisting the prince is equivalent to the farmer's rice planting, whether the harvest is good or bad, it all depends on whether the work of planting rice in the spring is meticulous, so the candidates for the subordinates of the East Palace are very important, they get along with the prince day and night, and have the most direct impact on the subtle influence of the prince's character, the so-called "black who is close to ink", if Li Shimin sends a second-rate son to be a subordinate of the East Palace, a few years later, Datang will have a second-rate prince, and it is a super second-rate son, which is very destructive.
Zhang Xuansu was not originally a person from Li Shimin's side, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Zhang Xuansu originally regarded himself as a Sui minister, and finally waited until Emperor Yang of Sui died, Zhang Xuansu had no loyal object, so he had to choose to stand in line, but his luck was too bad, standing in the wrong place, accidentally cast under Dou Jiande's command, there was no glory for two years, Dou Jiande was destroyed by Li Yuan, so Zhang Xuansu had to continue to stand in line, and finally surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
The father and son of the Li family still appreciate him very much, because Zhang Xuansu is indeed a talent for governing the world, in fact, Zhang Xuansu is also very competitive after returning to the Tang Dynasty, and did not disappoint Li Shimin.
Of course, Zhang Xuansu's hot temper is also known to the government and the opposition, when Zhenguan was four years old, Li Shimin planned to repair Luoyang Palace, and Zhang Xuansu did the same thing as Li Su at that time, that is, to admonish and stop, and the tone in the music is even similar to Li Su's "A Fang Gong Fu".
"A Fangcheng, the Qin people are scattered, Zhang Hua is on it, and Chu Zhong is leaving. and Qianyang, the Sui people disintegrated. ”
The words are very elegant, but the meaning is very rough, to the effect that if you want to repair the palace, you will repair it, and you will die after repairing, so many negative teaching materials are placed there, you are blind.
Li Shimin's reaction was the same as when he saw "A Fang Gongfu", he lived up to expectations and was furious, and he shot the case on the spot, pointing at Zhang Xuansu and saying, aren't you afraid that I will chop you up? Zhang Xuansu burst into tears and said, come on, hurt each other......
So Li Shimin decided to hurt him, and when he was about to give an order to chop him up, Wei Zheng, a famous-stirring stick in the Tang Dynasty, jumped out and admonished: "Your Majesty, you can't chop it!" ”
So Li Shimin decided not to chop him, a very easy-going emperor. Of course, it may be that he is mainly afraid of Wei Zheng's endless entanglement in the style of touching porcelain.
After this battle, Zhang Xuansu became famous and became a loyal and upright minister second only to Wei Zheng in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and Wei Zheng's hobby is the same, everyone likes to challenge Li Shimin's bottom line, and likes to see when he will chop himself up until he endures. Flirting with the ultimate boss is the incomparable cool point in life.
Later, Li Shimin finally couldn't stand it anymore, the ultimate boss is also dignified, and enduring Wei Zheng's-stirring stick is already unbearable in life, if there are two, what should the court stink into.
So Li Shimin kicked Zhang Xuansu to the East Palace, appointed him as the prince's right concubine and Shao Zhan Shi, and later crowned him as the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, which can be described as extremely honored.
The only errand that Li Shimin threw at him was to teach the prince to be humble and polite, and to be courteous and respectful, but unfortunately, Li Chengqian's copy was more difficult to brush than Li Shimin's boss, Zhang Xuansu worked hard for many years, but he still couldn't stop watching Li Chengqian become more and more willing to degenerate.
All abnormalities have a reason, Zhang Xuansu has reached the critical point of outbreak in the past half a year, tonight watching Li Chengqian get drunk in the East Palace with a satisfactory heart, looking like he gave up on himself and did not repent, Zhang Xuansu finally couldn't stand it, and this was the scene of chasing and killing with a baton.
Of course, the so-called "chasing and killing" is just a show, the most basic etiquette of monarchs and ministers Zhang Xuansu still dare not forget, he may not dare to kill the heart, but there is no pressure to beat the heart out of the, tonight Zhang Xuansu is determined to wake up Li Chengqian, and the thunderbolt method is also another form of persuasion.
However, Li Chengqian took it seriously.
The murderous aura was too realistic, Li Chengqian couldn't help but believe it, at this time he was very sure that Zhang Xuansu was really symmetrical and had murderous intentions.
Satisfaction was so frightened that he lost his face, and shrank behind Li Chengqian, who finally looked like a man at this time, bravely protecting Satisfaction and Thoughtfulness.
Seeing that the two of them were more dependent on each other than Jin Jian, Zhang Xuansu sighed suddenly.
This prince ...... There is no cure!
As a subordinate of the East Palace, he knows the rumors in the court best, how indifferent and alienated the Li family father and son are now, he also knows best, the clearer he is, the more worried he feels, he perceives that the crisis is imminent, at this time, if the prince desperately remedies, mend the relationship between father and son, maybe things are okay, if it is broken like now, the idea of Yi Chu in His Majesty's heart may become stronger and stronger, and in the end, he will be completely disappointed and chilled by the prince, and Yi Chu's heart has been decided, At that time, no matter how hard the prince tried to make amends, it was useless, and the other prince was selected for Wei Wangtai nine times out of ten, if Wei Wangtai ascended the throne in the future, would Li Chengqian, the former abolished prince, still have a way to live?
However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him doesn't seem to care about the position of the crown prince at all, does he know how terrible the fate will be after losing the position of the crown prince?
Staring at Li Chengqian, who looked panicked, Zhang Xuansu let out a long sigh.
"Your Highness is the foundation of the society, if you give up on yourself, how can the subjects of the world not give up? Your father is a rare saint in the past and present, he has created such a great foundation for you, if your highness does not cherish and love himself, how can he inherit this great country? ”
After Li Chengqian went through the panic just now, he also calmed down at this time, the more he calmed down, the more he felt that he had been insulted just now, and his eyes staring at Zhang Xuansu were a little more fierce.
"Dare to ask Zhang Qing, how long can I be the prince? Can you answer this question? ”
Zhang Xuansu was speechless.
No one can answer this question except Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian sneered: "I don't know tomorrow's affairs today, I may be drunk today, and tomorrow I know that I won't add a steel knife to my neck, Zhang Qing's advice, I will accept it, what good is it?" ”
Zhang Xuansu suddenly became angry and said loudly: "Then you can't lose your morality!" His Royal Highness is addicted to wine all day long, and kills the palace people for no reason, which is not only absurd, but also cruel, which is not the way of the king! Your Highness, from tomorrow, the minister will supervise His Highness's words and deeds, but if there is anything inappropriate, the minister will admonish directly! ”
After a pause, Zhang Xuansu glanced at Li Chengqian deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the crisis is imminent, if you continue to sink, you will not only lose the position of the East Palace, you and I have been a monarch for many years, and the minister now wants to protect your life!" Save your life, you know! Wake up! ”
After glaring at him viciously, Zhang Xuansu brushed his sleeves and left.
In the main hall, Li Chengqian and Chengxin were still hugging each other, watching Zhang Xuansu's back disappear outside the corridor, Li Chengqian's eyes were complicated, and his face was ugly.
After a long time, he said softly: "Your Highness, although Zhang Xuansu's words are harsh, the slave can see that he is loyal to His Highness, everything he says is for your good, and the slave begs His Highness for advice." ”
Li Chengqian snorted heavily: "Admonishment? Accept the advice of this man who has no king and no father? Satisfied, are you dizzy? Just now he lost his honor in front of the East Palace, holding the murder weapon and being rude, such a rebellious minister, he must kill him one day! ”
Chengxin was stunned by Li Chengqian's words to destroy the three views, and looked at him in a daze for a long time, but his heart seemed to sink into the ice cellar.
******************************************************************************
Taiping Village.
Li Su and Wang squatted directly by the river, each with a fishing rod, staring blankly at the slowly flowing river.
"In the summer, ask me to go fishing here, Wang Zhi, the more you live, the more you go back......" Li Su stared at the river and sighed softly.
Wang Zhi scratched his head: "Don't you like fishing on weekdays?" ”
Li Su said lightly: "First of all, I choose to fish in autumn and winter, not this kind of hot weather, look at my face, what a white and flawless face, when exposed to the sun, do you know what the result will be?" ”
"Sweating ......"
"You pig brains, you can get a tan!" Li Su glared at him fiercely: "Did you lose money if you tanned?" Secondly, when I fish, Dongyang is usually by my side to accompany me, do you know what is the difference between you accompanying me and her accompanying me? ”
Wang Zhi understood: "She looks more welcoming than me." ”
"She is a cloud, you are mud, floating in the clouds or wrapped in a pile of mud, which one do you think is more pleasant?"
Wang Zhi said with a sad face: "Or...... Shall we go back? ”
Li Su sighed again: "One thing is wrong, and it gives up halfway, it's just a mistake on top of a mistake, what do you pay back?" I've got a tan, keep fishing. ”
Wang Zhi grinned and got down to business.
"You said that you want to verify the words of the King of Wei, I have asked someone to check in Chang'an City in the past few days, there was indeed a steward named Cui Feng in the Han Palace, this person was rampant and domineering, and did all kinds of evil, I heard that there were several deaths, all related to him, Yongzhou Assassin Shi summoned him several times, and then he was either released due to insufficient evidence, or he did not dare to provoke the King of Han, so he had to ...... it."
Li Su frowned: "Sure enough, there is such a person?" A palace steward is so horizontal that no one in the entire Chang'an City dares to govern him? ”
"Seriously, no one dares to govern, the main reason is that the backer behind him is too hard, King Han is the son of His Majesty Emperor Gaozu, and the current emperor is a half-brother, if His Majesty doesn't squeak today, who would dare to risk losing his head to treat him? Therefore, Cui Feng relied on the power of the King of Han, and he has indeed done a lot of things that are inferior to beasts over the years, and he has lived a very nourishing life. ”
Li Su snorted and said, "Is there really a grudge between Cui Feng and Huang Shoufu because of the store?" ”
Wang Zhi nodded: "I have also confirmed this, there is indeed a grudge, I heard that the two had a quarrel last year, and then Cui Feng almost used the knife, and Huang Shoufu is also a person who wants money and does not want to die, he was forced by Cui Feng to that share, and he would rather sell the store to your father-in-law than give it to Cui Feng, the grudge between the two has been completely tied since your father-in-law bought the store, and it can no longer be ......dissolved." )
