Chapter 787: Painstaking Advice

Li Su never dared to underestimate Li Shimin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This historical celestial khan has far more insight than mortals, as well as control over all situations. The whole world is firmly in his hands, not to mention this bit of under his nose?

When Li Su laid out the layout for Liu Ping, he didn't think about hiding anything at all, he knew that no matter how secretive he was, what Li Shimin wanted to know, the more he concealed it, the more self-defeating.

Now that Li Shimin has really ruthlessly debunked his thoughts, Li Su quickly calmed down after being surprised.

First looked up at Li Shimin's face, and saw that Li Shimin's face was expressionless, I didn't know whether he was angry or ...... was even more angry, Li Su probably had a number in his heart, and simply admitted it very humiliatingly.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister did give Liu Ping a game, and the minister admitted his mistake," Li Su said honestly.

Li Shimin snorted and said, "I heard it, what you just said was 'admitting mistakes', not 'admitting guilt', in fact, you don't feel that you are wrong at all, right?" ”

Li Su was silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, Chen thinks he is right." ”

Seeing Li Su's rare toughness, Li Shimin couldn't help but be a little surprised, took a deep look at him, and said: "The layout framed the courtiers and made trouble all over the city, do you think you didn't do anything wrong?" ”

Li Su sighed: "Right or wrong, it depends on the person who comes, if it is a gentleman, the minister will respect him and respect him, even if this gentleman is the enemy of the minister, the minister will fight with him in a dignified manner, and he will be honored in victory or defeat, but Liu Ping, the Marquis of Anping, is a villain, and the minister is not so polite when he treats the villain, but he can achieve the goal, and the minister does not mind what means to use." ”

Li Shimin sneered: "Whether Liu Ping is a gentleman or a villain, is it up to you Li Su to decide?" ”

Li Su suddenly smiled at him and said: "Of course what the minister said doesn't count, in the whole world, only His Majesty is qualified to judge whether a person is good or bad, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty, do you think Liu Ping is a gentleman or a villain?" ”

The same question was pushed back by Li Su lightly, Li Shimin couldn't help but stagnate, this question is not easy to answer, there are traps in it, if Liu Ping is a villain, it means that Li Su has actually done nothing wrong with his layout and framing, villain, everyone has to be punished, and any method used on him is reasonable and applauding.

But if Liu Ping is judged to be a gentleman...... When Li Shimin said this, he couldn't wait to slap himself, of course Li Shimin also saw what Liu Ping did, and for the sake of personal grudges, he actually attacked the women and children of the Hou family, the old and weak, does this kind of behavior have anything to do with the "gentleman"? What an insult to the word "gentleman".

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly glared: "Are you still playing tricks on your cleverness?" ”

Li Su sighed: "Your Majesty naturally knows what kind of person Liu Ping is, and the minister can't stand it anymore, no matter what Hou Junji has done, after all, he has been punished, and he is still being punished, but the Hou family is full of women and children, old and young, how innocent, the majestic general of the left guard in the past, once lost power, the whole door ended up in such a situation, not to mention, the people who bullied them are still the old generals of the year, looking at what Liu Ping did, the minister only felt that people's hearts were dirty and cold......"

Li Shimin looked at him expressionlessly: "So, you took action on behalf of Hou Junji?" ”

Li Su smiled: "The minister is only in his twenties, normally speaking, he is still a young man with strong blood, how can he stand by when the road is uneven?" Even if the minister doesn't know Hou Junji, even if Liu Ping bullies a stranger, if the minister knows, he will still take action, no matter what age the minister lives, I'm afraid this temperament will not be able to change for a lifetime. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, nodded and said: "What I like is also your temperament, when you were able to openly recite "A Fang Gong Fu" in the court to satirize me, I am afraid that there is nothing in this world that can make you afraid." As for Liu Ping, ......"

Li Su continued: "Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, Hou Junji and Liu Ping, which of these two is more important in your heart?" ”

Li Shimin glanced at him and didn't squeak.

Li Su knew that he couldn't get off the stage a little, so he took the initiative to give him a step.

"Your Majesty, Hou Junji No matter what, he is also a dragon hero who has followed His Majesty for many years, and His Majesty has been named Junchen these years, but in fact, His Majesty really treats him like a brother in his heart, His Majesty was still the King of Qin, it was a time of internal and external difficulties, and there were a few who unswervingly followed His Majesty's side? During the change of Xuanwu Gate, how many people really sacrificed their lives and forgot their lives to fight, and stepped on a ground of blood to send His Majesty to the most honorable imperial seat in Taiji Palace? ”

"All these years have passed, the heroes of the year are old, the dead are dead, how many are left alive? In the past, His Majesty was sad, missing his old friends who had passed away, and decided to set up portraits of heroes to pay tribute to his worries and thoughts, the deceased is gone, but those old friends who are still alive, shouldn't they cherish them more? Hou Junji may have become a little arrogant over the years because of his high achievements, so he made the mistake of slaughtering the city in Gaochang, in fact, His Majesty should also know that the so-called massacre, who of our veterans of the Tang Dynasty has not done it? It's just that Hou Junji was unlucky, and he just chose a very inappropriate time, so he was disposed of by His Majesty, so he was resentful, so he ...... I was confused for a while, and I participated in the rebellion. ”

With Li Su's analysis, Li Shimin was slightly moved.

Seeing Li Shimin's thoughtful look, Li Su couldn't help but quietly let go of his heart.

As Li Shimin himself said, he is not an emperor who can't listen to advice, as long as he is reasonable, even if Li Shimin doesn't accept advice, at least he can still listen to it.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly turned his head to look at him and said, "Zizheng, in the past two years, you have tried to protect Hou Junji more than once in front of me, right?" Why did you protect him so much? ”

Li Su sighed, Li Shimin was not the first person to ask him this question.

Many people around him are puzzled, they all think that Li Su has a good future, and he is good friends with so many ministers, why is he involved with a rebellious minister again and again.

Speaking from the heart, Li Su actually felt that he was a little too much to protect Hou Junji so hard. It's just that this time, God arranged for him to meet Hou Jie who was bullied, the son of the deceased, so down, can Li Su not care? Of course, since you manage it, you might as well find something for yourself by the way, so the reason for the Marquis Junji this time has nothing to do with the original relationship, and the reason for the interests accounts for more than half.

Facing Li Shimin's puzzled gaze, Li Su smiled calmly: "Your Majesty, there are many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, each of them can lead the three armies alone, attack the city for the Tang Dynasty, and make many meritorious deeds, but no matter how many famous generals we have in the Tang Dynasty, none of them are redundant, none of them can be less, one less is equivalent to removing a pillar of the load-bearing Sheji, this is the idea of the minister, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

Li Shimin was moved again, and his expression fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Li Shimin said slowly: "What do you mean, let me pardon Hou Junji?" ”

Li Su looked directly at Li Shimin and said: "It's better to forgive than to kill, if Hou Junji can be pardoned this time, he will be loyal to His Majesty in this life, and he will never have two hearts. ”

Li Shimin didn't seem surprised by Li Su's statement, but a smile appeared on his face, and said: "It's rare that the son is affectionate and righteous, and Hou Junji can know you, which is really a blessing in this life." ”

Li Su saw that Li Shimin avoided expressing his position, knowing that Li Shimin had not yet made a decision, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Your Majesty, don't talk about the relationship between the monarch and the ministers back then, just look at the current situation, Your Majesty has been planning the Eastern Expedition for a long time, and all the generals in the court are in Your Majesty's planning, and in the future the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Your Majesty will inevitably be in person, and those veterans will also serve the emperor's side, so to speak, each of them can be used, and the minister believes that Your Majesty even has how many soldiers and horses to lead, from which way to march, which city to attack, etc., these specific strategic deployments have been arranged, then, now that the Western Regions suddenly rebelled, Your Majesty's game of chess has been disrupted, If a general is sent to Pingxi Rebellion, His Majesty's original deployment of the Eastern Expedition will also be chaotic, and the generals in the court cannot move, at this time, in addition to Hou Junji, does Your Majesty have a more suitable candidate for the commander of the Western Expedition? ”

Looking at Li Shimin, who was becoming more and more moved, Li Su continued: "Hou Junji, he is a general who suddenly became an extra general, a general who is not planned by His Majesty, and has rich experience, has the experience of leveling the Western Regions, and is familiar with the climate of the Western Regions and the situation of various countries!" ”

Li Su sighed and said: "The minister really can't think of anyone who can be qualified for the position of commander of the Western Expedition except Hou Junji, Your Majesty, although Hou Junji participated in the rebellion, but in his heart, he did not do anything unfavorable to His Majesty, at that time, if he used his prestige in the army to shout, presumably His Majesty will be more troublesome than expected, but in fact, Hou Junji did nothing, but knelt in front of the gate of Taiji Palace when the two sides were in the middle of the fierce battle to ask for guilt, willing to tie himself up and arrest, saying that he knew the current affairs. It is good to say that he lived up to his loyalty, after all, he only took a slight wrong step, and then immediately returned to the right path, now that Datang is the time when he is needed, why can't Your Majesty completely forgive the small mistakes he has made, and let him continue to be used by His Majesty? ”

Li Su said dryly, but Li Shimin's expression moved slightly, but he still didn't say anything, Li Su sighed, a little disappointed in his heart.

In the main hall, after Li Su finished speaking, the two monarchs and ministers fell silent.

Li Shimin wrinkled his brows, not knowing what he was thinking, while Li Su was holding the teacup, sipping tea in his mind.

The tea was already cold, and a eunuch bowed forward, removed the tea cup for Li Su, quickly replaced him with a hot tea, and then smiled at Li Su in a friendly manner.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the temple gate, and an old rickety figure appeared outside the hall.

Li Su looked at it, and it turned out to be Chang Tu, an old eunuch who had not been seen for a long time.

Chang Tu still had a dead face, as if everyone in the world owed him a lot of money, and he didn't smile at all when he faced Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the Marquis of Anping."

Li Shimin came back to his senses, but his first reaction was to glance at Li Su first, and then said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Chang Tu said expressionlessly: "Hou Junji's main wife, Hou Fang, led the Hou family, full of old and young women and children, knelt in front of the door of the Hou Mansion of Anping, begging Hou Liu Ping of Anping to let them go, and even Hou Junji's eldest son Hou Jie, whose leg was broken, was also carried and placed in front of the door of the Hou Mansion. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glared at Li Su fiercely, Li Su was stunned, and then he laughed dryly.

Both the monarch and the minister knew that this matter was arranged by Li Su at all, otherwise it would be impossible for a woman from the Hou Fang clan to do such a face-tearing thing.

Li Shimin snorted heavily, and then said, "I know." ”

It is said that after the report is over, Chang Tu should retreat with interest, but the strange thing is that Chang Tu did not leave, and still stood at the door of the hall.

Li Shimin frowned and looked at him: "Do you still have something?" ”

Chang Tu said: "Yes, the old slave didn't finish talking just now, after Hou Fang's family led the Hou family to kneel, Anping Hou Liu Ping immediately went out, knelt in front of Hou Fang's family, and swore to the sky to defend his innocence, but Hou Fang's family didn't believe it, and said that she only asked Liu Ping to let go of the Hou family, and she was willing to take the life of the Hou family as the price to eliminate the grievances of the year. Then she pulled out a dagger and stabbed her eldest son Hou Jie first, but was stopped by Liu Ping, Liu Ping persuaded him, but Hou Fangshi still didn't listen, and finally took advantage of Liu Ping's unpreparedness to stab himself in the heart with a backhand......

"Ah?!!h Li Shimin and Li Su were shocked, and they both stood up at the same time and looked at Chang Tu in shock.

Chang Tu was still expressionless, and continued: "This time, Liu Ping didn't have time to stop it, the dagger was inserted into the heart, Hou Fang's family was killed on the spot, Yongzhou Assassin's Mansion has sent a messenger to deal with the aftermath, Hou Fang's body was brought back to the Hou family by the Hou family, Liu Ping was kneeling in front of the Hou family at this time, and couldn't ...... "

Li Shimin's expression was shocked, and a pair of angry eyes looked at Li Su fiercely, but seeing Li Su's pale face and blank eyes, Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, looking at Li Su's expression, Hou Fang's suicide was obviously not out of his arrangement.

Li Su did not arrange it, and Hou Fang's suicide was completely outside his plan.

In Li Su's arrangement, from Hou Jie's broken leg, to the disappearance of Wang Fuqu of the Hou Mansion of Anping, and then to the framing of Liu Ping, and finally the Hou family knelt in front of the Hou Mansion of Anping, and even pretended to stab Hou Jie, these were all arranged by Li Su, and the purpose he wanted to achieve was to make Liu Ping unable to get off the stage, and to sit more and more on the fact that Hou Anping had poisoned the Hou family, this tragic situation of the Hou family would inevitably be known to Li Shimin, and by the way, he could also get Li Shimin's sympathy and mercy, and he added a fire in front of Li Shimin, which made him feel compassion, In the end, it was logical to forgive Hou Junji and issue a holy decree to pardon Hou Junji, then the layout of the whole thing could be regarded as completely achieving its goal.

However, Hou Fang's self-destruction was not in Li Su's plan.

Li Su was anxious, he couldn't care about losing his manners, looked at Chang Tu and said, "Hou Fang's family is really dead?" ”

Chang Tu nodded: "The Yongzhou Thorn Mansion has been inspected on the spot, and it is indeed dead." ”

Speaking of the old spy leader who often painted this kind of hard-hearted heart, he couldn't help but flash a trace of respect.

Li Su sat back in distraction, his face pale, and muttered to himself: "She...... How could it be, how could it ......"
