Chapter 297: Li Jing was sued
Qujiang's literary meeting was just a lively episode in the April breeze, Luo Yan invited Lu Deming's previous friends to help taste it, and in the end, more than 20 people were selected. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Carefully calculated, just these 20 or so monthly salaries a year will be scattered thousands of times. Fortunately, Luo Yan has not been extremely extravagant in the past few years, and he can really take these thousands of runs. In other words, those nobles who put on a feast from time to time would have cried poor a long time ago.
Next, Luo Yan began his peaceful life again.
But what he never expected was that the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, no, he didn't cause trouble, but trouble found him.
Before April was at the beginning, Wen Yanbo, who served as the imperial historian, threw a big bomb.
In the solemn court, Li Shimin looked at Li Jing with some annoyance.
Originally, I thought that this early dynasty was like the previous months, even if there was nothing good, there would be nothing bad. tepidly, the courtiers said a few trivial words, and then each returned to the council of the government office.
Just when Li Shimin was about to get up and leave, Wen Yanbo came out of class and bowed slowly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a bullet seal, which needs to be read by Your Majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a piece of music from his sleeve and put it in front of him with both hands.
Li Shimin motioned for the chamberlain to come up, and when he opened the song, he only saw half of it, and his face changed greatly, and he looked at Li Jing who was standing in the first place in the group of military generals with some unkindness. Then his face seemed to become more and more solemn, so that after watching the recital, Li Shimin seriously seemed to contain anger.
"Duke Weiguo, won't you explain the matter of the Turkic royal court to me?" Li Shimin seems to be asking, but in fact he is already reprimanding.
After Li Jing mentioned it, he also knew what Li Shimin was talking about. But at the beginning, these things could be downplayed in the report, and I originally wanted to calm things down, who would have thought that Wen Yanbo would insert such a lever at this time. "What did Your Majesty say? The strategy and details of the battle of the Turkic royal court were described in detail in the good news. Only the passage in which Luo gave the capture of Jieli was not seen by Weichen with his own eyes, so he could only use their narration. ”
"How long are you going to pretend?" Li Shimin angrily threw Wen Yanbo's bullet badge in front of Li Jing and angrily reprimanded: "Conceal false reports, deceive." This is the good thing you Li Jing did? If I trust you so much and hand over all these hundreds of thousands of troops to you, can you cover up your mistakes by capturing Jieli? ”
Watching Li Jing pick up the bullet on the ground with difficulty, Li Shimin continued: "Take a look for yourself, open your eyes and show me well." That's what you do! If it weren't for Wen Yushi, he would have to hide when I would have arrived. ”
A bullet is just a few pages. But at this moment, in Li Jing's hands, it weighs as much as a thousand catties. It seems that what he is holding in his hand is not a few thin pieces of paper, but his own life.
However, if what is said above is true, I am afraid that it is really his life.
Li Jing slowly opened the bullet chapter and read it word by word, but there were turbulent waves in his heart. These two things are extremely secretive, and not ordinary people can know, but now they are known by Wen Yanbo.
Could it be that someone can't get along with him, so he can't join forces with Wen Yanbo to get rid of himself?
One is that he connived at his subordinates to plunder the Turkic royal court, causing a large number of rare treasures to disappear. The other is that the general Zhang Baoxiang falsely reported his military exploits, originally killed dozens of Turkic cavalry, but reported that he had repelled more than 1,000, and Li Jing concealed it for Zhang Baoxiang when he knew the truth.
Either way, it was an extremely serious mistake in the military. When the two things are combined, it is possible to lose your life.
Li Jing immediately looked at Li Shimin.
As an old fritter, it is impossible for him not to know that Li Shimin is now extremely jealous of his prestige in the army.
According to folk rumors, half of the Tang Dynasty was brought down by Li Jing. Although the rhetoric is a bit exaggerated, after all, generals such as Li Xiaogong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, and Duan Zhixuan actually have countless military exploits, big and small. But in general, Li Jing is even more handsome, so he commands the armies and has a very high prestige.
Moreover, in the battle for the throne, Li Jing clearly rejected the wooing of the two parties. For an emperor like Li Shimin, any alliance centrists and the like, it's all nonsense.
But Li Shimin wants to clean himself up, and he doesn't have to be so cumbersome at all. It is enough to casually pull yourself out of the army and give you a position of great honor but no real power.
Li Jing took the lead in excluding Li Shimin in his heart. Next, he doesn't seem to have any special enemies in the court. Could it be Tang Jian?
Tang Jian was almost framed to death by himself, if he didn't have a grudge in his heart, it would definitely be impossible. But how capable Tang Jian is, Li Jing also knows that if he can understand this matter in such detail, Tang Jian can't do it.
Not only can't he do it, but even Wen Yanbo can't move.
Moreover, Tang Jian was not far from Li Jing's side, and Li Jing occasionally glanced at it and found that Tang Jian was not abnormal at all. They are also old foxes, although the city government is quite deep, but if they can still show their silence at this time, they will definitely not be able to do it.
And then only the last man remained.
Luo Yan.
Li Jing knew that he had offended the people in the court, and at the same time had the ability to understand the affairs of this expedition, and there was only one Luo Yan left.
He couldn't see Luo Yan's figure and expression, but in his heart, the kid was secretly smiling at the moment.
"Your Majesty, Weichen knows his mistake. But there is a punishment, and Weichen has no complaints. "Now, what else can be done but to confess his sins obediently.
Li Jing knew that if there was such a thing, someone might intercede for him, but what the effect was, it would definitely be disappointing. So it's better to admit it and not bother others. According to the merits, it will be enough to be able to leave a life for yourself when the time comes. At this moment, Li Jing seemed to look down on everything in this court, and only wanted to deal with it quickly, and then go home to recuperate.
Above the court, he also stepped on the low and praised the high. The premise is to see that this person is completely sinking into a trough and there is no cure. Although the courtiers didn't know what mistakes Li Jing had made, they saw that he was a lot older at the moment, and he was so desolate when he knelt in the court. No matter what kind of mentality it is, in short, I will intercede with Li Shimin first.
The generals are the most ambitious and the most respectful of the strong. Li Jing is a god-like task in the army, how can the generals stand idly by.
For a while, Cheng Zhijie and other generals came out and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the public service of defending the country is in the community, even if you are guilty, but it is not so." Please also ask Your Majesty to calm his anger. ”
"Yes, please let Your Majesty calm your anger, if there is another hidden truth in this matter, wouldn't it be to wronged Duke Weiguo."
"And as soon as he made meritorious service, he was punished by His Majesty, and it is difficult to ensure that the soldiers will not misunderstand. Your Majesty thinks twice. ”
Feeling that he was somewhat coerced, Li Shimin was suddenly furious: "You don't know, don't talk nonsense." Li Jing's crime is not trivial, if you don't believe it, just let him tell you to wait. Since Wen Yushi presented this bullet seal, he didn't know the great crime of falsely accusing his colleagues. ”
Li Jing nodded, and 1510 said the content on the bullet seal.
It's okay not to say anything, but after finishing speaking, I saw that many civil officials who had originally planned to intercede for Li Jing stopped the tiptoes that poked out, and then pretended to be casual and pulled their crooked legs back.
And the faces of those generals also lost color.
This is no joke. Li Jing's lifelong reputation, is it necessary to plant it on such a small matter? The evening festival is not guaranteed, it is really the evening festival is not guaranteed. They don't regret standing up for Li Jing, but they feel a little sorry.
For a while, there was no other sound in the hall except for the heavy wheezing of a few people.
Everyone at the bottom of the stairs was waiting, waiting to see how Li Shimin would clean up Li Jing. This matter will certainly not pass so easily.
After touching the kung fu of having a cup of tea, the atmosphere became more and more solemn. Just when everyone thought that Li Shimin was going to open his mouth to deal with Li Jing, suddenly an unexpected figure stood up and admonished Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, although Wei Guogong is guilty of these two things, they are not the main culpability. Now His Majesty is like this, but it is a bit harsh. ”
Li Jing listened to this familiar voice, and his body shook. Originally, he thought that the person who was most likely to unite with Wen Yanbo to attack him, but at this time, he exonerated him.
That's right, the person who spoke was Luo Yan.
Li Shimin was laughed at by Luo Yan's remarks and asked, "Oh, then what reason do you have, you might as well say it for everyone to hear." ”
"In the midst of the chaos, Jieli fled in a hurry, but a large number of elites in the Turkic royal court also took advantage of the chaos to escape. Under the desperate fight, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be wrapped in treasures. Although some people took the opportunity to rob them afterwards, it was a mistake to say that Wei Guogong connived. Before attacking the Turkic court, the army had been strictly ordered not to plunder without permission. Could it be that every time there is a war, the main general will keep shouting when he attacks, and it is impossible to take care of the local finances? ”
Luo Yan's words made Li Shimin angry. Although it is a bit of a strong argument, since Li Jing did state in advance that he would not rob property, then it can indeed be said that he was negligent.
As for the second one, Zhang Baoxiang made outstanding achievements during the expedition of the army, and he was really an outstanding general. However, it is a taboo in the army to falsely report war exploits. Wei Guogong is sympathetic to talents, so he wants to protect his people at the expense of fame, although the method is inappropriate, but there is no selfishness, and I hope that His Majesty will see it. ”
Li Shimin agrees with this sentence. Zhang Baoxiang was the governor of Eastern Shaanxi Province, and he used to be his old subordinate of Li Shimin, and he was loyal to him. Li Jing wanted to protect Zhang Baoxiang, naturally it was impossible to win him over.
Seeing that Li Shimin's expression eased, Luo Yan said: "Even if Wei Guogong is really guilty, he should be handed over to Dali Temple for review and verification, and then His Majesty will come to ask for guilt." Now it is just Wen Yushi's rumors, although there is some definite evidence, His Majesty is so angry. In the long run, won't we put everyone at risk? Your Majesty's fault, very much. ”
With these words, the courtier's jaw dropped in shock, and Li Shimin's eyes turned red with anger. How did it end up, or was it your own fault? (To be continued.) )
