Chapter 382: Wei Zheng is dead or alive
The early dynasty did not last long, and soon dispersed.
And just when the ministers left one after another, the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although the ministers are appeased now, the grass needs to be eradicated!" ”
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin's expression suddenly moved slightly, and he naturally understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant.
Although Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji have been killed, they still have sons, give them more than ten years, who can be sure that they will not be full-fledged and waiting for the opportunity to take revenge?
The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again, Li Shimin feels that the poem written by Qin Tian is really well written, and if he doesn't remove the roots, maybe it will grow again.
He didn't want that threat to continue.
It's just that he was a little hesitant to get rid of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's children ruthlessly.
"Auxiliary, this prince can be so ruthless, but if you kill those children, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of this prince, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is normal for Li Jiancheng to rebel, and it is normal for his family to be implicated, what can this affect?"
Li Shimin's expression condensed slightly, and after a moment, he shook his head: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." ”
In this matter, Li Shimin was weak-hearted, and he couldn't sleep anymore after killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and if he killed their children like this again, he couldn't stand it.
Of course, it's not that he can't be ruthless, but he doesn't want to be blamed.
In fact, in the emperor's family, Li Shimin has long been accustomed to all kinds of blood, but in the face of a few children and the general public opinion, he still needs to consider carefully.
Seeing that Li Shimin was so indecisive, the eldest grandson Wuji was angry, but he didn't dare to mess around, and after pondering for a while, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, since you are worried about the damage to your reputation, it is easy to do it, demote them from Chang'an City and reduce them to commoners, but on the way, we still have to get rid of them, and when the time comes, we will meet robbers on the way and they will be killed." ”
Killing must be killed, it depends on whether the method of killing can be accepted by Li Shimin.
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished saying this, Li Shimin's expression was a little better, and he said: "Just do what you say, but there must be no mistakes." ”
Let Li Jiancheng and their children be degraded from the capital, and there will be accidents on the way, which is much more dangerous than killing them in the capital, so Li Shimin told the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji responded, and then retreated to handle the matter.
In his opinion, it's just a few children, what accidents can happen?
The eldest grandson Wuji retreated, and Li Shimin sat in the side hall to deal with government affairs, but it didn't take long for a little eunuch to run over.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and others ask to see you."
As soon as he heard that Uncle Qin Baocheng biting gold and these people asked to see him, Li Shimin immediately understood their intentions, and after smiling lightly, he said, "Let them come in." ”
The eunuch left, and not long after, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Li Ji and others walked in.
"The ministers meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please get up quickly, you don't need to be polite." ”
Several people stood aside, looking at each other a little bit and stopped, and in the end, Cheng Yanjin couldn't hide it the most, and stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's tell you the truth, we came today to ask for intercession for Wei." ”
Several people nodded hurriedly, they were in Wagangzhai at the beginning, and their feelings were very strong, even people like Cheng Yanjin, who shouted all day long, didn't want Wei Zheng to be killed.
They felt that Wei Zheng had poisoned Li Shimin, and he was Li Jiancheng's cronies, and Li Shimin would definitely not spare him, so they came to intercede.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I would rather not follow the dragon's merits, and only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare Wei Zheng's life." Li Ji stood up, he had the best relationship with Wei Zheng, and in order to save Wei Zheng, he could do without these credits.
And when he said this, Cheng Yanjin and the others immediately rolled their eyes, but they soon hurriedly followed.
The credit is indeed very tempting, but if you can save Wei Zheng, why not?
Several people said this, but Li Shimin's expression was as calm as water, and people couldn't tell whether he wanted to let Wei Zheng go or kill Wei Zheng.
A cold wind blew, and the side hall suddenly had a hint of coolness.
Li Shimin looked at the few people in front of him, and said after a while: "The meaning of the few people has been understood, you go back first, and the prince will definitely give you an explanation." ”
Hearing this, several people were stunned for a moment, they all begged Li Shimin like this, why didn't Li Shimin happily agree, why did he still perfunctory them with a sentence?
Several people looked at Li Ji, but Li Ji didn't understand what Li Shimin thought for a while, so he had no choice, before he didn't know Li Shimin's thoughts, he could only retreat temporarily, anyway, he felt that since Li Shimin's words, Wei Zheng's life should not be in danger for a while.
"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, then we will go back first."
Several people braved the cold wind to leave the palace, and when they went back, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help it: "What do you say His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks, we would rather not follow the dragon's work, why didn't he happily agree to release Wei Laodao, to say that there was a saint on it before, and he was not good at calling the shots, but now everything should be handled by His Royal Highness the Prince, why didn't he agree?" ”
After Cheng Biting Jin finished speaking, he was still a little angry, Niu Jinda frowned, and said: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still angry at Wei Zheng for poisoning him, after all, Wei Zheng has a precedent of poisoning him, and no one is at ease." ”
After Niu Jinda said this, everyone felt that it made sense, a person who had poisoned himself, I am afraid that no one would have this mind to spare him, and then there is, if Wei Zheng is released, he will have to use him, with such a cronie of Li Jiancheng, it is strange that Li Shimin is not worried.
When everyone said this, they all felt that this must be the reason, and Li Ji also sighed lightly when he saw this.
"Everyone, let's wait for the news about saving Wei Zheng, where are you going now?" Qin Shubao looked at everyone and asked.
Niu Jinda said: "A few Donggong cronies are still absconding outside, I'm afraid I'm going to arrest them back." ”
Li Jidao: "There are still a lot of things to deal with in the imperial court, I'm afraid I have to take a look." ”
Several people looked at Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Yanjin smiled: "I heard that when Qin Tian left the palace yesterday, he was slapped twice by the Ninth Princess, and his two ladies were going to make trouble with the Ninth Princess. ”
After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, everyone's expressions moved slightly.
"It's just a few fugitives from the East Palace, just let the others arrest them, it's important to see the excitement."
"Ahem...... As soon as there are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest grandson Wuji, I don't seem to have anything to do, and I also think it's important to watch the excitement. ”
Qin Shubao was stunned.
