Chapter 254: The Martial Virtue Era Has Passed

As soon as Luo Yan said this, the eyes of those few people lit up suddenly. www.biquge.info Compared with the reverse, the process of not reporting is obviously much simpler. And there is also a rather important thing, that is, it is difficult to provoke a backlash from the courtiers.

If you don't report what you know, what you know is particularly crucial. In this case, judging from the current file, Pei Lin concealed Falla's rebellious words. When the time comes, as soon as the results are announced, everyone's eyes will turn to Pei Lian's handling results, as for whether this information is not reported is true, who will explore, and who will dare to explore?

It is knowing this that makes these people so excited.

The edict to deal with Pei Lin was only concocted in a few moments in the hands of these literati. In fact, the most time-consuming thing for the Zhongshu people to do things is not to write edicts, but to figure out the emperor's intentions and then choose a reasonable way to deal with them. Just like today, the discussion took more than half an hour, and it took only two moments to write the edict.

It turns out that Luo Yan was really right this time. When the drafted edict was delivered to Li Shimin's hands, no matter how harsh the reprimands in front of him were, he glanced at the final punishment method, Li Shimin nodded very happily, and said to the scholar: "I agree to this edict, so let's send it to Zhongshu Province." ”

was affirmed by Li Shimin, and this edict appeared in Pei Lian's house just a day later.

Suddenly fell from the position of Sikong to a mortal, Pei Lin has been in a high position for more than ten years, how can he be willing. Hurriedly summoned the staff and guests, trying to brainstorm to save the declining situation.

As the official of the dynasty and one of the people with the highest status in the Tang Dynasty, there are many outstanding talents among Pei Lian's guests. After all, the proprietor is not Li Shimin's cronies, and now it is natural for him to attack the proprietor. If the proprietor wants to keep his official position, I'm afraid it will be impossible. ”

"Yes, in my opinion, for the sake of now, only the proprietor can stay in the capital as much as possible. After all, the Emperor is still there, and the proprietor and the Emperor will help each other when the time comes. After a long time, in order to avoid gossip from others, the emperor will inevitably reinstate the proprietor. ”

"If you want to stay in Beijing, you still need some price. It really didn't work, and the proprietor still asked to cut down on the food. If you can delay time, try your best to present your case to the Emperor. At that time, the emperor will not be too tight because of the emperor's affection. Of course, during this time, it is still necessary to ask the proprietor to be as merciful as possible, so as to gain the favor of the courtiers. ”

"There are also many protégés of the proprietor in the court, and they have been mobilized in the past two days to intercede for the proprietor."

"No, the proprietor was originally dissatisfied with the emperor because the power of the court was too strong. Now, if the proprietor's protégés were mobilized, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire? At that time, not only will the proprietor's fate be even more miserable, but those who intercede for the proprietor will suffer. ”

"I'm lying in vain. It seems that this matter can only be done by the proprietor alone. Alas, we are incompetent, and we cannot help at all at such a critical juncture. ”

The staff finally gave a more reliable way, and Pei Lin was also very pleased. After thinking about it in his heart, he said to his staff, "Okay. Tomorrow I will go to the table and take the initiative to ask for the removal of 500 households. At the same time, I begged the emperor to let me stay in Beijing. I think that under such conditions, the emperor should be more lenient. ”

Pei Lian's handwriting is not small. Unlike other princes, his fiefdom was a fief, that is, he had an actual fief for him to collect taxes. He is now alone in this treatment. He originally had 1,500 households, but now he took the initiative to ask for a one-third cut, and such a condition was not insignificant in his mind.

Besides, there is also a Taishang Emperor.

Pei Lian's abacus played very well. But what he didn't expect was that he didn't even enter the palace gate. When the pleading form was handed to Li Shimin, Li Shimin glanced at it and wrote at the back: "Ji Gongxunyong, it won't be like this." In vain, he is the first. At the time of martial virtue, the political and criminal sentences were absurd, the official was relaxed, and the reason for the public was ......"

sprinkled a lot of them, refuting Pei Lian's body, and the words revealed that if you are disobedient, you will clean you up.

Although Pei Lin is in a high position, he does not have the right to enter and leave the palace freely. Originally, I wanted to enter the palace and go to see Li Yuan to intercede, but in the end, I could only give up.

got Li Shimin's reply, and Pei Lin was completely dead. After going through ups and downs, where can he not read the threat in Li Shimin's words. I had no choice but to be obedient, pack up and salute, and return to my hometown in Puzhou with my family.

The Taiji Hall in the Taiji Palace has always been the main hall as the emperor's acting political affairs. However, since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has not been in a hurry to drive Li Yuan out of the Taiji Palace. On the contrary, he handled government affairs in the East Palace at first. Even the court meetings were held in other halls.

And Li Yuan, who gave way to his son, also regarded Taiji Palace as his own dormitory, singing and dancing all night long, and took a few concubines to play man-making games from time to time, looking self-satisfied on the surface. In fact, everyone only knows that this is acting.

But it's better to tacitly do such things.

Li Shimin would often send him the affairs of the DPRK and China. Of course, Li Yuan also looked back, but he never expressed any opinions. Of course, he understood what Li Shimin meant, and that was to prove it to him. He only understands these things, and if he says something, it will be passed on by others as interference in politics, and it will be a big deal. Li Yuan really understands his son's ruthless virtue.

Maybe he died violently in the palace that day, which would be bad.

In the world that has been fought so hard, if you can't enjoy the power, then wouldn't it be good to enjoy a few days of peace? Although this happiness comes at the cost of losing freedom.

Two days after Pei Lin left Beijing, in the Taiji Palace, Li Yuan, who was drinking under the service of the palace maid, suddenly received the documents sent by the inner attendant.

It's not once or twice like this. Accustomed to it, Li Yuan didn't take the documents over and look through them for the first time. After signaling the chamberlain to put down the paperwork, he pretended to be happy and leaned his mouth over, waiting for the palace maid to pour the wine into her mouth with the three-dollar wine glass.

Seeing that Li Yuan was not eager to go over to read the papers, and there was no urgency on his face, the waiter relaxed and hurried to see Li Shimin. It turned out that this chamberlain was not only sent by Li Shimin to deliver documents, but also responsible for checking Li Yuan's daily life and psychological activities.

The feast in the Tai Chi Hall lasted until the evening. With the documents sent by Li Shimin, Li Yuan can't completely ignore them. Let people turn the lamp, silently open the document that is more than ten pages thick and read it carefully.

After the New Year, the DPRK and China did not overcharge for major events. Therefore, the main thing in this instrument is to say that it is a matter of Faya.

This Li Yuan is naturally very familiar. Of course, he knew that anyone who was related to him and Li Jiancheng could take the initiative to surrender with a little ability, and basically Li Shimin did not treat him badly. But as long as there is a slight change, then Li Shimin will definitely take thunderous measures.

Even though Falla was his old acquaintance, seeing from the documents that Falla finally uttered rebellious words, Li Yuan actually didn't feel a little pity in his heart. After all, the surname Li in this world is Li, although he has experienced so many things, what Li Yuan wants to ensure is that the meat is rotten and still in the pot. If someone else wants to get involved, then who will kill whom. Therefore, Li Yuan quite agrees with Li Shimin's hot hand.

originally thought that the matter would be over here, although there were still one or two pages left, that is, some trivial things recently, which were taken out by Li Shimin to make credit. Who would have thought that when a new night was opened, Li Yuan just glanced at it, and the sourness in his heart suddenly surged up.

The old minister of the Wude Dynasty, Feng Deyi died, Xiao Yu was reprimanded, and there was only one Pei Lin left who was originally loyal to him.

But now, the only old friend was also blasted out of Chang'an by Li Shimin. It was written on the paper that Pei Lin was convicted because of Falla's involvement, but what really shocked him was that Pei Lin didn't come to him. No, not that they didn't come to him, but they couldn't find him at all.

In front of Li Yuan's eyes, Pei Lin had already appeared dragging his aged body, waiting for the news of Qianniuwei's report outside the palace gate in a panic. However, in the cold weather, cold wind and snow, what he got was the news that Li Shimin did not let him see him. Eventually, he turned desolate and stepped onto the brightly decorated ox cart.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan's eyes were suddenly filled with tears. The scenery of the past is no longer there, and now they all end up with such an ending, and the heroes are twilight, this is the feeling.

"Old friend, I'm sorry for you." Li Yuan muttered to himself.

That night, the Tai Chi Hall was brightly lit, but there was surprisingly no sound of singing and dancing.

The inky black sky of the East is impregnated with a hint of orange, which changes from orange to light yellow in a few days, and finally changes back to sky blue. A new day has arrived.

Li Yuan, who had not slept all night, looked at the sky, seemed to open his mouth with great difficulty, and said to the guards who came to guard in a hoarse and terrifying voice: "Go and invite the emperor here, just say that I have something important to discuss." After saying that, he didn't care about the guard's promise, and his eyes began to drift again.

I don't know if I waited for three or four quarters, but when the sharp voice of the waiter came, "Today's drive has arrived", Li Yuan came back to his senses. Regardless of the kneeling around, Li Yuan was still sitting there, his eyes staring directly at the door of the main hall.

It was only a few breaths, and a middle-aged man who thought he was wearing a bright yellow dragon suit appeared at the door. If no one walked in, when he walked in front of Li Yuan, he bowed down and bowed: "The child meets Grandpa." I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know if Grandpa is in good health? On the eve of the New Year, someone sent a superb mountain ginseng, and after going back, the child sent someone to send it. "Who else can there be besides Li Shimin?

Without continuing Li Shimin's words, he pointed to the seat beside him and asked Li Shimin to sit down, Li Yuan opened his mouth and said: "After all, the Taiji Hall is the emperor's residence, and the regulations of the past hundred years can't be different because of me. After a while, I'll move out of the Taiji Hall. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "How can this be done." Now that my Li family is in the world, where is the turn to gossip from others. Grandpa should rest well, don't pay attention to such trivial things. ”

"No matter how small it is, it is a big thing when it comes to the royal family. You must not break the rules because you are complacent. If the descendants of the next generation are too stubborn, won't they destroy the society? Okay, I have made up my mind about this matter, the emperor still arranged my residence in advance, and when everything is ready, I will move out of the Taiji Palace. ”

At this time, Li Shimin did not dissuade again, nodded, and responded. The father and son talked about some gossip again, and Li Shimin said goodbye to Li Yuan on the grounds that he was busy with state affairs.

The moment he walked out of the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin raised his head to the sky and whispered to himself: "Wu Denian, it's over." ”
