Chapter 103: Stand up for the protection of Qian, Xu Zhen
The soldiers of Kyushu Mansion came with great momentum, but the soldiers went away without blood, Du Xingmin captured Li You, went around the city and showed the public, and was imprisoned in the east chamber of the palace, the rebellion in Qizhou was pacified, Li Tao led the army into the city, each raised the people, while the table was heard, while escorting Li You, sent to Chang'an, more than 40 people of the same party were killed together, hung at the head of the city to show the public, the rest of the people were not to blame, and the people of Qizhou surrendered and stabilized.
Li Tao took Xu Zhen and Du Xingmin and other meritorious ministers to the pilgrimage, the saint was not sad or happy, put down the rebellion, but there was a son missing, plus the prince's matter, the worry has not disappeared, and there is no relief at all, but it is not a chill to the people's hearts, or awarded Du Xingmin as the assassin of Bazhou, the prince of Nanyang County, and the rest of the people are rewarded.
This Li You has a perverse personality, quite a saint does not like it, the court is still proud of his bloodline, and he is sure that the saint will not dare to kill him, Li Shimin is disturbed by Li Chengqian's life and death, and he can't stand Li You's anger, so he is guilty of rebellion, demoted to a concubine, and died in the inner province of Taiji Palace.
In the end, the sage favored the prince, but he couldn't do anything about it day and night, and he couldn't deal with it, so he dealt with an accomplice, Du He and others were all beheaded, confiscated family property, and many relatives were exiled.
As for Hou Junji, the sage recited many years of old work, and said goodbye to the prison, but said that he had been in the dragon for many years, and could not bear to be humiliated by the sword and pen, Hou Junji recalled the old times, regretted it, and took advantage of the situation to beg for mercy for his family, and the sage pardoned it together.
Within a few days, Hou Junji conferred the title, his wife was pardoned, and he was exiled to Lingnan, and Zhang Liang, Su Gan Chengji and others reported meritorious service, and they were all rewarded.
Duan Zan was not implicated because he was not deeply involved, and when his father was critically ill, the sage asked his relatives and planned to seal Duan Zhan, but his father asked to transfer the official position to his uncle Duan Zhigan, probably Duan Gong had the foresight, so as not to make his son fall into the quagmire of power struggle.
and Duan Gong died of illness, posthumously presented to the general of the auxiliary state, the governor of Yangzhou, the nickname Zhuangsu, and was buried in Zhaoling, Duan Zan also won the reward this time, and stayed away from Chang'an.
Even Nahelan Chushi was pardoned because he took the initiative to expose Hou Junji's crimes during the trial, and all the cases of rebellion were settled, but the matter of the prince was inconclusive.
The sage confined him to another room and summoned Situ Changsun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling, Tejin Xiao Yu, Li Tao, the secretary of the military department, Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen, and the counselor Chu Suiliang to participate, but no one dared to propose.
Everything is clear, the clues are clear, according to the law, the saint knows it, but what the prince did disappointed the saint, but after all, he is the eldest son of the saint's love, in order to train him into a qualified prince, the saint can be said to have spent all his efforts and energy.
After all, the saint can't leave his beloved son, but the saint enforces the law and is self-disciplined, and he can't openly resist the law.
Many courtiers are well versed in this father-son friendship, but they have their own ghosts, such as the eldest grandson Wuji and others, who have great ambitions, and have long wanted to support Li Zhi, the king of Jin, Cen Wenwen and others are optimistic about Li Tai, the king of Wei, and they are eager to completely erase the prince from the heart of the sage.
Xu Zhen vaguely remembered that in the historical data, a petty official who was a general servant stood up, pleaded for the prince above the court, gave the saint a step, and finally saved the prince's life.
However, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the junior official in the historical materials come forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally came out of the column and said: "The minister is humble and light, but he has something in his heart, and if he doesn't vomit, he will be unhappy..."
Li Shimin saw that many ministers had no one to come forward, and he was full of disappointment, and when he saw Xu Zhen coming out, he was secretly happy, but he forced it down, and pretended to be casual and said: "It doesn't hurt for Xu Qing to speak out." ”
Xu Zhen straightened up at this time, and said: "Your Majesty is not a loving father, and he will be good for the rest of his life, that is, he is good, the mistake of the prince is not oppressed by the education system, although the minister is a military general, but he thinks that the court should attach importance to education and take care of the palace, so as not to repeat the prince's incident again..."
Xu Zhen wants to give the saint a step down, this is not a bad thing, the bad is bad in his last paragraph, although he exonerated the prince, but put the blame on education, in this way, how can many ministers tolerate it, they regard Xu Zhen as an ignorant and reckless man, in a word, he has made countless enemies!
However, when the sage heard this, his heart settled down, and he quite agreed with Xu Zhen's remarks, Li Gang and Yu Zhining hurriedly came out to confess their crimes, of course the sage would not transfer the guilt, and asked a cadre of Wenchen to come up with policies to support the country and other places of learning, so as not to neglect the education of the people's hearts.
Everyone knew that the sage was playing with Xu Zhen, and they were panicked for a while and quieted down, so they abolished Li Chengqian as a concubine and exiled him to Qianzhou, and finally saved his life.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that there was an opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to play, saying that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, had many talents in warp and weft, and could lead literary affairs, looking forward to the cultivation of saints.
This is the end of Li Chengqian's matter, the eldest grandson Wuji is eager to support the Jin King Li Zhi, and everyone can smell it, after the prince is deposed, the re-establishment of the prince needs to be put on the agenda, this eldest grandson Wuji disregards the sage's wishes, so the timing of the handover, began to seize the opportunity.
When the King of Jin was only twenty years old, his heart was still young, and the eldest grandson Wuji had more power tricks, and he was the uncle of King Jin.
Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang and other upright courtiers believed that the King of Wei was versatile and learned, and favored many princes, and was the favorite of the sages, and it was appropriate to establish the King of Wei.
Then refuted the eldest grandson Wuji, saying that the king of Wei was good at learning and wise since childhood, and the saint tasted Li Tai's good literature, and received the doctor with courtesy, and specially ordered to set up a literature museum in his house, and recruited the bachelor by himself, Wei Wangtai was a work equal to the body, and opened the museum as early as the twelfth year of Zhenguan, and extended the talents, and spent three years compiling the masterpiece "Chronicles of the Ground".
This chronicle is a masterpiece of geography and humanities customs, where more than 500 volumes, describing the geographical scenery, territorial distinction and state and county setting during the Zhenguan period, absorbing the geographical chronicles, seeking stories and old news, detailing the mountains and rivers in various places, historic sites and customs, characters and so on, which lasted three years and was completed, dedicated to the saints, and the dragon face was happy.
The sage ordered people to be stored in the secret pavilion of the palace, and the reward for Li Tai, the king of Wei, even surpassed that of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and he was controversial for it, so he had to improve the treatment of the prince and favor Li Tai in disguise.
If it is said that among the princes, the martial arts are treated, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, is the most portrait of today's saints, but if it is pampered, it is undoubtedly Li Tai, the king of Wei, who deserves to win the championship.
Among the many courtiers, there were also a large number of supporters of Li Tai, and even Chai Shao's son, Chai Lingwu, the commander of the horses, and Fang Xuanling's son, Fang Yiai, openly supported Li Tai, the king of Wei.
When these people saw Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang coming out of class, they all supported Li Tai, and the eldest grandson Wuji also did not show weakness here, and the two sides quarreled, but it made the saint's heart sad.
At first, he wanted to save Li Chengqian, but except for Xu Zhen, no one stepped forward to protect their reputation, but now, one by one, they began to quarrel and quarrel over their respective candidates, which made Li Shimin feel quite disheartened.
Looking down at the huge court, many courtiers are like clowns jumping off the beam, but Xu Zhen is neither humble nor arrogant, he would rather be the enemy of hundreds of officials, but also come forward to protect Li Chengqian for the saint.
Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh, is this still the court I wanted at the beginning?
Thinking of this, there was no more distraction, and he hastily called the court, but ordered someone to summon Xu Zhen into the palace, but this time it was not in the imperial study of the Ganlu Palace, but in the Danxia Palace, and the little girl Li Mingda was also present.
Li Mingda didn't see Xu Zhen, and when he saw him return safely, he was inexplicably happy, not caring about the presence of the saint, he wrinkled his nose and said coquettishly: "How can there be a scoundrel brother like you in this world, who left his sister behind and didn't say a word when he came back!" ”
Xu Zhen didn't dare to be wild in front of the saint, if he answered, he would really regard Li Mingda as his own sister-in-law, and he would inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of the situation.
The sage was insightful, knowing that Xu Zhen did not want to use Li Mingda to take the position, but really loved Li Mingda, and liked Xu Zhen more and more, but said with a rare smile: "This kind of brother, you really should be punished, son, you should tell me, how to punish Xu Qing?" ”
The months after this year were the most difficult days for Li Shimin, first the assassination of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, then Li You, the king of Qi, and now the crown prince Li Chengqian.
It was rare to get together with Li Mingda, and to see Li Mingda's cute normality, he finally cleared the haze in his heart and temporarily forgot about the many troubles in front of him.
When Xu Zhen saw Long Yan Dayue, he also let go of his restraint and said with a smile: "It's Xu who is wrong, but it is up to the saint to decide." ”
Li Mingda couldn't see Xu Zhen's pretending to be serious, so he grabbed a crisp and threw it over, Xu Zhen instinctively dodged it, but forgot that the saint was on his side, and scolded angrily: "Girl! Don't you dare! ”
As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong, his face suddenly turned red, and he raised his head slightly and peeked at the saint, but saw Li Shimin and Li Mingda looking at him with a smile, Xu Zhen also laughed, and then the three of them laughed.
Li Shimin, who put down the emperor's shelf, has to say that he has a very charming personality, he is not the heir to the emperor without wind and rain, but a general who immediately founded the country, he had more experience when he was young, and Xu Zhen and Xu Zhen looked back on the past at this time, but they had a magnificent appearance, and Xu Zhen and Li Mingda were fascinated.
After a long time, it seemed that he thought of Hou Junji, and the sage stopped talking again, for fear that his good mood would be dispelled again, so he hurriedly asked Xu Zhendao.
"Xu Zhen, how did I hear that you didn't suppress the rebellion in Qizhou, but secretly ran back to stir up trouble everywhere?"
Xu Zhenxin tightened his head, knowing that he had arranged for Zhang Suling and Mo Ya to persuade Zhang Liang and the others to let the saint know, so he immediately thought of a strategy.
Every time this doppelganger technique has a miraculous effect, Xu Zhen categorically can't be honest, so he stiffened his neck and said: "Even if Xu Zhen has three hundred guts, he doesn't dare to disobey the holy order and sneak back.
Li Shimin also couldn't do anything about him, but he didn't mention Li Tao, but asked: "Don't you dare to disobey the holy order?" How did I hear that when you were fighting Tuyuhun, you still disobeyed the army's orders and privately divided your troops to save Zhangye? ”
"This..."Xu Zhen blushed suddenly, he didn't expect the sage to know his deeds so thoroughly, but Li Mingda was clever, seeing Xu Zhen embarrassed, he immediately pointed and smiled: "Dalian, the big liar who doesn't have the guts, my family is playing with you, if you really want to punish your crimes, you should die several times!" ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately laughed, Xu Zhenyou glared at Li Mingda angrily, and the three of them were happy, but the three of them knew in their hearts that the court of the Tang Dynasty would usher in another wave of open and secret fighting, and put aside many troubles for the time being, and enjoy this moment of joy...
