Chapter Forty-Six: A New Interpretation of the Xuanwu Gate

Everyone in the hall was shocked except for Li Shimin, who thought to themselves, could it be that the prince was really possessed by demons, how could he become so bold?

Without waiting for everyone to think about it, Li Chengqian limped in with a cane.

As soon as Li Chengqian came in, he swept into the hall and saw that the eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu, Li Shiji, and Wei Chigong were all there, and there were two Wenchen who didn't know him, but seeing that they were all wearing red official robes, they wanted to come to the official position.

Li Chengqian saluted Li Shimin according to the etiquette, and said: "See my father." ”

Li Shimin ignored him with a blushing face, the scene was very embarrassing, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was a relative, had to play a round with a hard head.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just got off the court, why did he come again?" The eldest grandson Wuji said very casually, he took out his uncle's money.

"The lonely king came to see his father, naturally there is a big event." Li Chengqian did not appreciate it.

"Hmph, he just wants to die early, so he can ascend the throne early!" Li Shimin turned his face to the eldest grandson Wuji and said indignantly.

"Okay, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, there is a big deal when your son comes, don't make a sound when you see this person, if you are still angry with your son, you want to fight or kill your father."

"Humph!" Li Shimin even turned to the side.

Li Chengqian looked at the other humanitarians: "No matter what you see later, don't make a sound, otherwise you won't be able to run away from the great crime of the Nine Clans."

Li Chengqian didn't know that during the Zhenguan period, there were at most three clans, and he had repeatedly mentioned the nine clans today, and several ministers were a little displeased.

"Bring in?" As Li Chengqian's voice fell, several eunuchs carried something like a standing cabinet, put it in the hall and opened it, and there was a person tied inside.

When the little eunuch pulled him out, everyone saw that the man was still blindfolded, and there were things stuffed in his mouth and ears.

A little eunuch took out what was stuffed in the man's mouth and ears, but instead of removing the black cloth covering his eyes, he took out a black bag and put it on his head.

Although everyone didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, they were still attracted by his strange behavior.

Li Chengqian didn't pay attention to everyone, but said calmly: "Loosen the tie for Mr." ”

After the man was untied, he moved his body and saluted with his fists towards the place where Li Chengqian was: "Poor Dao, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"I didn't see that you still have some ability, I know that the Lone King wants to see you!" Li Chengqian pretended to be casual and authentic.

"Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see the poor road, who needs to go through so much trouble to see the parting of the way?" The Taoist priest spoke with an unfathomable and profound taste.

"Okay, you tell King Gu now, who asked you to tell King Gu that 'astronomy has changed and you should do great things'?" Li Chengqian pretended to be impatient.

Li Chengqian said this easily, and the Taoist priest also handled it calmly. But listening to it in the ears of others is not weaker than thunder, especially Li Shimin, when he heard that someone was inciting Li Chengqian to rebel against him, he wanted to kill people.

If it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji to look at him in time, I'm afraid he would have a seizure at that time.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and waiting for the Taoist priest to answer, they heard the Taoist priest say lightly: "The poor Taoist knows a little about the number of days, so he naturally knows that astronomy has changed." As for whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should do great things, don't you have a little idea in your heart?"

"The lone king is in the East Palace, and he will rightfully inherit the Tang Dynasty in the future, so why do you need to do anything big?" Li Chengqian was proud.

"Haha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really good at telling jokes, who in the world doesn't know that His Majesty favors King Wei today, and he has long had the intention of letting King Wei replace His Royal Highness and enter the East Palace." The Taoist priest seemed to have no fear.

"What can my father do if he favors King Wei? The father is not a mean and unkind Emperor Wen of Sui, and the lone king is not a concubine Yang Yong. Although the King of Wei had the heart of Emperor Yang of Sui, and there were a few Yuwenshu and Yang Su around him, they did not have the ability to kill their father. Li Chengqian's words were obviously suspected of provoking, but everyone didn't care.

"Your Highness's heart is really big, maybe King Wei alone can't bring down His Highness, but you have offended so many families recently, does Your Highness really think that you can continue to sit firmly in the East Palace?" The Taoist priest seemed to be thinking about Li Chengqian.

"What is a family? Back then, they still opposed their father's ascension to the throne, and after the Xuanwu Revolution, they were not obedient ministers?" Li Chengqian said with great disdain.

"Yes! Today, Your Majesty also sat on the throne through the Xuanwu Coup, why don't Your Highness follow Your Majesty's example, and ask Your Majesty to sit on the throne when the time comes. The Taoist priest was kind to Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin exhaled when he listened.

"Okay, even a fool like you wants to learn from others to be a lobbyist with a three-inch tongue, and you don't even know the root cause of the change in Xuanwumen, it seems that you don't have any ability......" Li Chengqian said in a tone that meant to send off guests.

The Taoist priest hurriedly said, "I don't know what is the root cause of His Royal Highness the Prince's so-called Xuanwu Change?"

Li Chengqian was secretly proud in his heart, this time he came to dissipate Li Shimin's anger, so naturally he had to say something that Li Shimin liked to hear, and it also showed our ability.

"Okay, seeing that you are such a stupid lone king, I will teach you some dragon slaying techniques, so that you can die and understand." After a pause, he continued: "Since you are cultivating, you should know that heaven and earth are a great Taiji diagram, which is divided into yin and yang and two qis, and rotates endlessly. ”

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still knows the Great Road!" When the Taoist priest heard this, he hurriedly patted his ass.

"Shut up and listen to the lonely king.

You only know that heaven and earth are in a Taiji diagram, but you don't know that a country and a family are also a Taiji diagram. "This time, everyone in the hall was interested when they heard it, Taoism in the Tang Dynasty was the state religion, but the preachers had never said this.

"What about this Taiji diagram, the court is on the yang side, and the people are on the yin side, do you know?"

The Taoist priest didn't dare to say anything, but Li Shimin snorted in his nose, which means that it is any kind of learning......

Li Chengqian ignored them and continued: "At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ruled all directions with one person and never cared about the people's strength, so he finally changed from the extreme yang to the extreme yin body and died and the country was destroyed. ”

Hearing this, Li Shiji nodded, indicating that it was a little interesting, and the others were also thoughtful.

After his death and the destruction of the country, China lacked the Ninety-Five Supreme, at this time, the dragon and snake rose up and the land and the heroes rose together, in fact, there were only two parts of the people, one part was the original Yang side of those Sui Dynasty ministers and clans. Some of them are ordinary people on the yin side, they can't live under the tyranny of Emperor Yang of Sui, so Yin Ji Yang was born, mainly the people in Wagangzhai.

And I, the Li family, inherited the mandate of heaven, and not only got the support of the major families, but also won the hearts of the poor people, so as to achieve the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the poor people who revolted are now a righteous yang qi, so they want to control the imperial court.

But the family was unwilling to watch them get up, so the big families all threw themselves into the door of the Hidden Prince, and used the power of the Hidden Prince to suppress these people in every possible way.

The people of Wagangzhai are not afraid to fight because they are from a low background and have no family background, and they are the most positive and positive, so they are the most thorough and desperate anti-Sui and Turkic anti-Turks, and now the anti-family family will naturally not leave any room.

And because those families have land and property at home, they only think about keeping their family property, so they look ahead and backward in everything, thinking about the family first and then the court in everything. Do you think Datang can let this group of people and them support Prince Yin's control?

That's why there was the change of Xuanwumen, and the change of Xuanwumen seemed to be a brotherly struggle on the surface, but in fact it was a decisive battle between the old and new forces of the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the changes of Xuanwumen that there is today's Datang, if there is no change of Xuanwumen, so that those families are in charge of the lifeblood of the country, they surrender to the outside world, exploit the people excessively, and disobey the yang and yin of the court, it is difficult to say that the Tang Dynasty is still in the future?"

This passage may be a bit winding for people who don't usually know that period of history, but the people in the Liangyi Hall have experienced that period of history, and they can understand it at all.

Li Shimin secretly felt in his heart that after so many years, his conscience would eventually be tormented, and he was always afraid that he would not be able to be a good emperor.

Today, I finally understand that as long as the Xuanwu Revolution is launched, it will be regarded as a great thing for the people of the world.

"According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intentions, shouldn't His Majesty suppress the family and take care of the poor people today, then why does he support the King of Wei, who is respected by the family?" This sentence is obviously a sincere request for advice.

Li Chengqian didn't want to think about it: "People forget their roots, just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were originally poor enough, but they didn't know who they were when they were praised by others for a few words, and they raised the old clan of the Six Kingdoms to end up defeated and killed."

It's the same with his father, he thought that if a few Wenchen said a few good words to his face, he would be terrible, and if he really wanted Li Tai and these people to gain power, his father's reputation in the history books could withstand the windβ€”β€”"

The furious Li Shimin finally couldn't help but make a move, and kicked Li Chengqian to eat.
