Chapter 301: Confession (I)

A bad man is nothing more than under the guise of loyalty, stalking his neck like a young man and desperately achieving his reputation in history, really saying that he will die, and he will move forward, but as for the parents and wives at home, he completely forgot about it, as if he jumped out of the crack in the stone, and died without worry.

Li Su can't be so ruthless, there is an old father and a wife at home, and they are all living lives like himself, so before he makes any decisions, he must first settle down in the family, try his best to give them a worry-free future, and finally get his turn to go to righteousness calmly.

This night, Li Su explained a lot to Xu Mingzhu, Xu Mingzhu wrote them down one by one with tears, Li Su invited his father Li Daozheng to the backyard, the father and son talked for a long time, everything that should be arranged was arranged, Xu Mingzhu and Li Daozheng were busy transferring the money in the treasury at home.

Li Su sat in a quiet room, slowly spreading out the white paper in front of him, the brush was dipped in ink on the inkstone, and hung high on the paper, but it never fell.

After a long time, a thick drop of ink splashed on the paper, and quickly soaked and dyed, like a black plum blossom blooming in the middle of winter.

Li Su tore off the paper, tore it up, and brought another one, this time finally writing calmly.

This night, the Li family didn't sleep, Li Daozheng and Xu Mingzhu stood by the window outside the wing room with red eyes, watching Li Su sit at the table and write hard, Li Daozheng and Xu Mingzhu had tears on their cheeks.

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

Before dawn, the roosters in the village were already crowing.

The lights were bright in front of Li's house, Li Su said goodbye to his father, got on his horse and ran towards Chang'an City.

The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and Li Su only felt a fire burning in his heart, in his arms. With a note, this is the first note he has given to Li Shimin since Li Su was given the title of knight.

No one forced him to do anything, but he just felt that he should do it, and when everyone was praising him for being a smart man, maybe only he knew. He is really not a smart person, a smart person should lie in a warm and warm home at this time and fall asleep, deaf to the things outside the house, and hide away from any wind and waves that have nothing to do with him as soon as possible.

And at this moment, he is riding on a horse, facing the cold morning breeze, to do something that everyone does not agree with, and he has no turning back.

When I rode to the gate of Chang'an, it was already dawn. The gates of the city were opened.

Li Su did not get off the horse, ran towards the Taiji Palace, after entering the city, the doors of the squares and squares were opened, Li Su rode his horse at a gallop, and the pedestrians on the side of the road hurriedly dodged.

I didn't walk for long, and when I arrived at the east side of Renshoufang, a group of people came to meet me.

There are about 1,000 people. Walking quietly in two rows, the direction is the Daming Palace construction site. The team had obviously been recruited from other places, and had just entered the city, and the people walked very quietly, wearing tattered and ragged coarse cloth clothes, and tying a knot with straw rope at their waists, meeting the different eyes of passers-by in the Chang'an Street Market. Walk slowly and slowly......

Suddenly, there was a mournful howl from the ranks of the people, and the cry stopped as soon as it sounded.

Li Sule stopped his horse and waited on the side of the road for the group of men to pass before continuing to walk, but the determination in his eyes became more and more obvious.

…………

Tai Chi Palace. Inside the Tai Chi Temple.

The court meeting fell into a quarrel again, and the atmosphere was cold and a little weird.

Wei Zheng was wrapped in a cloth belt on his head, standing in the hall and making an impassioned speech, and he couldn't help but cry when he said that he was excited.

Li Shimin sat on the hall expressionlessly, listening to the whispering of the ministers in his ears, but his eyes scanned some specific corners of the hall.

There was an unprecedented confrontation between the monarch and the minister, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister in the Zhenguan year was in crisis for the first time.

In the awkward stalemate, a eunuch hurriedly entered the hall and whispered a few words in Li Shimin's ear.

Li Shimin frowned, and said coldly: "Take him to the Manna Palace, and talk to me after the dispersal of the dynasty." ”

The eunuch received the decree and hurriedly retreated.

As soon as he took two steps, Li Shimin suddenly changed his mind and stopped him again: "Since he is coming to the court meeting, I will make an exception and let him come, bring him into the palace, and see what he wants to say." ”

After a long time, Li Su wore a light crimson official robe and a silverfish bag hanging from his waist, and walked into the Taiji Hall under the curious gaze of the ministers in the palace.

Everyone has to be curious, in this hall, it is really not easy to find people in light crimson official robes, because light crimson belongs to the officials of lower ranks, and the court officials above the third or fourth rank are wearing purple official robes, according to the Tang system, the ministers who participate in the daily court meeting must be Beijing officials above the fourth grade, so the ministers participating in the court meeting in the Taiji Hall are all purple robes, and there are few other colors, unless they are temporary arrangements of the Ministry of Rites to report on their work in other places, or envoys from other countries.

Facing everyone's strange eyes, Li Su calmly walked into the hall and knelt down to Li Shimin.

"Minister, Jingyang County, Li Su, the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau, meet Your Majesty."

Li Shimin waved the sleeves of his robe: "Flat, Li Su, today is the court meeting, and the rank of the lord is very low, why do you insist on entering the palace?" ”

Li Su lowered his head and said in a calm tone: "I don't dare to forget the country." ”

The monarchs and ministers in the palace flickered, and then their eyes shone brightly.

Li Shimin took a deep look at him, and suddenly laughed loudly: "What a 'humble person who does not dare to forget the country', he is worthy of being a young hero of my Datang, and his exports are all beautiful. ”

With a smile, Li Shimin stared at Li Su with deep meaning, and said: "Since you are worried about the country, you might as well say what you are worried about, and I and the courtiers in the palace can relieve your worries." ”

Li Su smiled and looked up at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's eyelids jumped, this kid's smile was too strange, he had a premonition that something would happen, and this matter must not be what he wanted to see.

So before Li Su could speak, Li Shimin said quickly: "If it is the matter of Daming Palace, there is no need to speak, and the matter will be settled in a few days...... Also, Niu entered the Golden Palace to insult the king, the sin is unforgivable, and there is no need to speak. ”

As soon as the words fell, there were a lot of cold snorts among the ministers, obviously there were many people who were dissatisfied with Li Shimin's words, Wei Zheng, who was standing in the center of the hall, was the most unceremonious, and snorted heavily unabashedly, if it wasn't for Chaoyi's system, I was afraid that he would scold the king three times on the spot.

One sentence blocked all the words that others were about to say, being an emperor is so capricious.

Li Su in the hall was not in a hurry, looked at Li Shimin calmly, and said: "The minister didn't say Daming Palace, nor did he say Langya County, but the minister had nothing to do last night, and made a long fu, which he regarded as a self-satisfied work......"

Saying that, Li Su suddenly smiled: "...... All the courtiers in the hall are the elders of the boy, everyone knows, the boy has just done the crown ceremony, and he is just a frivolous and shallow teenager, the young man does something that he thinks he is proud of, and he always wants to show it off, and he also asks your uncles to worry about the boy. ”

Li Shimin snorted: "Li Su, this place is the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace, a place to discuss state affairs and court affairs, and what you say is a major event of the society and people's livelihood, a poet, and a leisure matter, do you think it is suitable to take it to the Golden Palace?" ”

Li Su lowered his head and smiled: "Since Your Majesty said that it is not suitable, then the minister will not say it." ”

Li Shimin's eyes gradually showed a little anger, this sentence of retreating as advance, the courtiers have been full of resentment against him recently, how can anyone come out quietly?

Sure enough, as soon as Li Su's words fell, Wei Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, stood up, glanced at Li Su with deep meaning, and then said: "Your Majesty has been speaking widely since he ascended the throne, and he is good at accepting all kinds of advice, why can't you let a weak crown boy recite a few words of his poetry today?" Doesn't Your Majesty even have that kind of heart now? ”

Wei Zheng can be regarded as the leader of the opposition party in the Tang Dynasty, and he doesn't know how many times he has embarrassed Li Shimin in public in his life, and this time is no exception.

Li Shimin's face was ugly, he glared at Li Su fiercely, implying a warning, and then forced out a smile and said: "Since all the Qings want to hear Li Su's poems, Li Su, you can read it and listen to it." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "In accordance with His Majesty's decree, you all know, the minister lives outside Chang'an City, when he was a child, the minister heard that there is a Qin Palace a hundred miles away from Chang'an City, called Afang Palace, and later Chu and Han contended, Afang Palace turned into a scorched earth, the minister went to the ruins of Afang Palace last month, and saw that the once brilliant and majestic Afang Palace is now everywhere in ruins, and I can't help but feel a thousand emotions, so I made a long fu last night, called "Afang Palace Fu", the minister will read this fu, please correct your uncles. ”

Li Shimin's eyelids jumped violently, and the sense of foreboding in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Li Su took out a book from his arms, slowly unfolded it, and began to read it calmly: "...... Six kings, four seas and one, Shushan Wu, A Fang out. Covering more than 300 miles, isolated from the sky. Lishan is constructed in the north and folds in the west, and goes straight to Xianyang ......"

The first few paragraphs were quite gentle, aiming to describe the majesty of Afang Palace, and the monarchs and ministers in the palace listened quietly, and Li Shimin's frowning brows gradually eased.

Who knew that after Changfu's description, his tone suddenly changed, and he gradually revealed a sharp edge that pointed directly at people's hearts.

“…… The thunder was shocked, the palace car passed by, and I listened to it from afar, but I didn't know what it was. One muscle and one appearance, extremely beautiful, standing far-sighted, and looking at luck. There are those who are not seen, thirty-six years. ”

The face of the monarch and the minister gradually became solemn, everyone can stand on the top of the golden palace of the court, naturally they are full of poetry and books, Confucianism and erudite people, cultural literacy is not generally high, long endowed here, everyone gradually tasted the taste.

These few sentences seem to describe the majesty of Afang Palace, but in fact they allude to Qin Shi Huang's arrogance and lasciviousness, and the construction of a large number of buildings for his own selfishness, the more majestic and vast Afang Palace is, the more it can reflect how abominable the first emperor's mediocrity and greed are.

The anger in Li Shimin's eyes is getting stronger and stronger, clearly talking about Qin Shi Huang, who is he actually talking about, does this still need to be scrutinized?

What the hell is this kid trying to do?
