Chapter 60: The Phases of the Eldest Sun Wuji
Li Chengqian watched Zhu Suiliang walk into the crowd, showing a faint smile on his face, although subduing Zhu Suiliang was not as beneficial as subduing Ma Zhou, but Ma Zhou was too cunning and difficult to control, and Zhu Suiliang had strong combat effectiveness, and he was very useful after he could easily block a lot of untrue slander.
Cleaning up his mood, Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Cen Wenwen again, and when he saw that he was almost scolded, he slowly walked over and said, "Okay, I already know what you think, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation." When several victims heard this, they all stopped saluting Li Chengqian, and then retreated to the crowd.
Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Cen Wenwen, whose face was pale, and said, "What have you heard in Cen Zhongshu?"
Cen Wenwen blushed his face for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "It's all ignorant people who scold Liu Xun and slander the court, what is there to remember." This was very rude, and the people around the periphery had not yet understood, but the eyes of the members of the East Palace were shining with cold light.
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to stop Hao Chujun, who was about to stand up to refute him, turned his head to look at Zhang Chengxing who was standing next to him and said, "I don't know what Zhang Shilang heard?"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the people are living a very hard life." Zhang Chengxing's voice was a little low.
"Finally, someone has lived up to the painstaking efforts of the lonely king!" After a pause, he said to Cen Wenwen again: "Since Cen Zhongshu can't even understand this, you can go back." ”
As he spoke, he ignored Cen Wenwen, who was stunned, turned around and said loudly: "I will now behead the four main criminals who embezzled the disaster food this time, Liu Yuan and Xiao Jue, as well as the lords of Chang'an and Wannian counties, to pay tribute to You."
"Oooh......" The surrounding victims began to cheer.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is not in accordance with the rules!" Zhang Chengxing said loudly, but the scene was chaotic, and the sound reached Li Chengqian's ears.
It wasn't until Xiao Jue and the two main masters were brought up, and Xue Rengui pulled Liu Yuan, who had released Cen Wenwen to mourn Liu Xun, to the middle, and several East Palace guards raised their steel knives brightly, and the people standing on the periphery quieted down.
After Li Chengqian finally heard Zhang Chengxing's words clearly, he helplessly pointed to the people on the periphery and said, "Zhang Shilang told them to go." ”
Zhang Chengxing looked up and saw that the common people were staring at the four people kneeling on the ground with hatred in their eyes, and they shrunk their necks and stopped talking.
The four guards raised their swords and cut off the heads of the four people very neatly, and the blood rushed out more than a kilometer, and the people first exclaimed in surprise, and then cheered loudly.
Cen Wenwen did not leave or stop Li Chengqian from killing, but just stood there in a daze and watched all this.
Li Chengqian killed someone and asked the victims to go back to continue rebuilding their homes, and then took a group of members of the East Palace back to the East Palace for dinner.
Zhang Chengxing followed the horse back to the Criminal Department, only Cen Wenwen followed Liu Xun's funeral procession out of Chang'an City, and saw Liu Xun's coffin buried Cen Wenwen sent Liu's family back.
Standing on the wasteland by himself opposite Liu Xun's lonely grave.
Although it has been eight or nine days since the snow disaster, the weather has been very cold these days, and the snow in the wilderness has not yet melted.
Cen Wenwen looked up at the snow in the distance, looked down at Liu Xun's lonely grave in this wilderness, and silently thought about his relationship with Liu Xun in the past twenty years.
Cen Wenwen and Liu Xun are both from Jiangzhou, and there are people in their families who are officials in Xiao Liang, and they came to Chang'an after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Xiao Liang.
Cen Wenwen is younger than Liu Xun, and has always admired Liu Xun's style, both of them have become high-ranking officials at the prime minister's level as literary scholars, and they have joined King Wei together.
Cen Wenwen was in his heart, and Liu Xun of the Friendship Association said, now that you are not only dead but also humiliated, and you have become a lonely ghost outside the Great Wall, I will definitely find a way to help you take revenge.
Cen Wenwen thought that Liu Xun was killed by Li Chengqian, and the coffin was stopped on the street for people to scold, and he almost couldn't be buried.
is now buried, and the poem "Official Hamster" still engraved on the tombstone, every time Cen Wenwen glanced at it, tears couldn't help but flow down.
On the way out of the city, he thought all this clearly, all this was done by Li Chengqian, what kind of people suffered? The people have always been like this, and without Li Chengqian's instigation, so many people would have come out to stop Liu Xun's funeral procession?
Thinking that he was targeted by such a brutal and unkind cripple as Li Chengqian, Cen Wenwen felt uncomfortable in his back, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let a cruel person like Li Chengqian ascend to the throne in this life.
The eldest grandson Wuji was in a very good mood sitting in the spacious and warm study, Fang Xuanling was kicked out of the court by his nephew, who had always looked down on him, and he could finally return to the court.
And this time is different from before, in the past, he talked about the state-owned Fang Xuanling and the state-owned Wei Zheng, and many times Li Shimin was more willing to listen to their advice.
It's different now, Wei Zheng is dying, Fang Xuanling also has to go to Jiucheng Palace to retire according to Li Chengqian's suggestion, or go to Luoyang to retire, as long as he is a scholar, the left servant is the sole power, as for those martial artists and scholars, they can't be put in the eyes of his eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji thought that yesterday he had tried his best to persuade Li Shimin to listen to Li Chengqian's suggestion, and felt that Li Chengqian should thank him well.
Without him, his uncle Li Shimin really didn't know what he could do yesterday, but why did Li Chengqian's temperament change so much?
If you think about it carefully, it is understandable that anyone who is frightened all day long will not be much better in temper. The eldest grandson Wuji was waiting in the study to seal the edict that he was shooting as the left servant of Shangshu, and the sun was shining in his heart, so he was willing to think about the good in everything.
It's just that the more you wait for the eldest grandson Wuji, the more I feel that something is wrong, yesterday Li Shimin personally told him that he made an order early in the morning, why hasn't he come when this has passed?
Finally, when it was almost noon, the family came in with a waiter, and the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly pretended to be reading a book, waiting for the waiter to speak.
"Your Majesty, Grandpa Qiguo, please enter the palace quickly." The chamberlain bowed.
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that something was wrong when he heard it, and his good mood in the morning was gone, and he hurriedly rode to the Taiji Palace.
didn't want to run into Xiao Yu at the gate of the palace, the two greeted each other, and went straight to the Liangyi Hall without saying a word.
When the two came to the Liangyi Palace, they saw that Gao Shilian, Yang Shidao, Hou Junji, Cen Wenwen, Li Shiji, Li Daozong, as well as Ma Zhou and Zhu Suiliang, who were working in the imperial city or palace, were already sitting.
After the two of them saluted and sat down, Li Shimin passed Ma Zhou and Zhu Suiliang's recital to them, and the eldest grandson Wuji took Zhu Suiliang's recital, and the content was written according to what Li Chengqian said yesterday.
It turned out that when Zhu Suiliang returned to the palace yesterday, he thought that Li Shimin was angry, and now he must not recommend Cheng Mingzhen, let alone recommend Cheng Mingzhen as prime minister, it is difficult to say whether he can prevent Li Shimin from appointing a new prime minister.
So he went directly to Ma Zhou to tell Ma Zhou what Li Chengqian said, and Ma Zhou also felt that Li Chengqian's judgment and handling of the situation were ideal, but he also did not recommend going to see Li Shimin immediately.
Instead, they waited until early this morning to jointly ask to see Li Shimin, and explained to Li Shimin the importance of choosing the prime minister.
Li Shimin has always trusted Ma Zhou's talent, and Ma Zhou and Zhu Suiliang are not as unpleasant as Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin was moved when he heard it, but he couldn't make a decision for a while, after all, he had promised the eldest grandson Wuji, so he brought all his confidants and ministers to discuss the matter.
After watching the song, the eldest grandson Wuji understood that there must be Li Chengqian's shadow in it, and the whole person was instantly filled with anger.
