Chapter 13 is a fire and water
October 15, the eighth year of Tang Wude,
The first snow in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty fell slowly, putting on a layer of white clothes for this ancient capital, looking at the sun on the fifteenth, the Great Dynasty Meeting, the Jingshi Wenwu Fan and above the nine grades gathered in the Taiji Palace, and the officials below the sixth rank could only line up in the corridor outside the hall, wearing thick clothes and waiting in the cold to disperse.
"Something to start, nothing to retreat from," With a sharp shout from Li Yuan's personal eunuch, the court meeting officially began, Li Yuan sat majestically in the center of the palace and asked first: "It's already snowing today, Jing Zhaoyin, Chang'an Chengke?" ”
"Weichen is here," Fei Lin and Chang'an Cheng Daixuan, who also led Jing Zhaoyin, responded to the class.
"Take people to investigate Jingzhao in detail, build a refugee shelter, take in the homeless, and provide timely assistance to the affected people," Li Yuan ordered. In fact, in ancient times, especially the people near Jingshi, it was still relatively good, especially in the prosperous era, the general law was very strict, and the general people did not dare to commit a light offense, and all kinds of treatment in the disaster year were also soon there, and the Sui and Tang dynasties already knew about the disaster and epidemic prevention, and the general disaster would soon go to deal with it, of course, sometimes it would be inhumane, but who cares about it in this era, as long as it is not on its own, it will think it is very good, at least it will not spread.
"Obey the order," the two hurriedly received the order.
"What can you do with Aiqing?" After dealing with it, Li Yuan asked the others again.
First of all, there are some specific matters that need to be reported by Li Yuan's ruling, such as where taxes need to be reduced or reduced, and there is a snow disaster there, etc., after all, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were still very pragmatic, and they had been busy for more than an hour before they basically agreed.
"Recently, it has begun to snow in various places, you still need to pay more attention to the situation in various places, and if necessary, you can immediately report to the palace, okay! You Aiqing still has something to do," Li Yuan asked a little tiredly, after all, he was almost 60 years old.
Prime Minister Xiao Yu came out of the class and said: "The minister impeached the king of Qi Yuanji for being arrogant and domineering, regardless of the people's livelihood, three days ago the king of Qi went out for winter hunting, and there were three passers-by who were injured on horseback, and beat passers-by without the slightest compensation, and a woodcutter blocked the road of the king of Qi, and was pushed to the ground by the king of Qi's subordinates, and a load of wood was thrown into the stream, and the woodcutter was likely to be unable to survive the winter."
Xiao Yu was born in the Xiao family in Jiangnan, the current family is headed by five surnames and seven wangs, the Jiangnan family, the Shuzhong family, etc., the prince Li Jiancheng and the five surnames and seven wang are very close, and the princess is also the descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Xiao Yu is naturally close to the king of Qin.
And Xiao Yu and Li Yuan are cousins, the two have a deep friendship when they were officials in the Sui Dynasty, they are Li Yuan's confidants, and they are upright, so his impeachment of Li Yuan is very believable, and the weight is heavy.
"How can this be true?" Li Yuan asked.
"The matter has been confirmed, it was the King of Qi who hit the person, and it was the King of Qi's guards who pushed the person," Xiao Yu replied.
"The father forgives the sin, and the son knows the mistake", Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, hurriedly ran out and knelt in front of Li Yuan to plead guilty.
Li Yuan was so angry that he stood up and shouted, "Son! Under the edict King Qi acted without a form, he was specially ordered to think about it behind closed doors for three months, and he could not take a step without an order, "After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.
After all, Li Yuan is still very protective of his son, and the ministers are not worried, after all, there is a big difference between the ancient nobles and commoners, as long as Li Yuan is punished, the ministers just want an attitude, at least the royal family can't do whatever they want.
"Hmph, Xiao Yu Lao'er is really hateful, this king has not offended him, why has he been targeted many times, is it to Li Shimin," Li Yuanji was furious at home after the next dynasty.
"You! I act like nothing, how to blame others, pay more attention to myself, don't let people grab the handle, stay in the house with peace of mind during this time, don't go out to make trouble, otherwise I won't be able to help you. Li Jiancheng, the crown prince who came to visit Li Yuanji, hated the persuasion that iron could not become steel, but he did not realize that it was Li Shimin's move.
On October 17, the two imperial historians who favored the crown prince were impeached for corruption and dismissed from office and exiled.
On October 21, several local officials who favored the crown prince were impeached for not understanding the people's livelihood, and the people under his rule were deeply resentful, and they were dismissed and imprisoned.
On October 28, the Xuanwu Gate guard will be impeached for drinking alcohol in the army and demoted to the pastoral territory, and the prince will be the guard of the Xuanwu Gate.
On the eighth day of November, Wei Zheng impeached Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and privately gave gifts to his ministers.
On the tenth day of November, Fang Xuanling impeached Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, for not repenting and drinking and having fun in the palace of the king of Qi, and Li Yuan issued an edict to apply for the king of Qi.
On November 15, the Great Dynasty Meeting, supervising the imperial history, impeached the prince for being unscrupulous, often holding banquets and drinking in the East Palace, seeking pleasure, and not being suitable as the heir of the empire, Li Yuan ignored it.
On November 20, Wei Zheng impeached the king of Qin and the local generals often exchanged letters, and Li Yuan only reminded the king of Qin on the grounds that there was no evidence.
The two factions of personnel are fighting vigorously, a number of biased to the prince and a series of personnel were demoted, for a time the court officials were in danger, and they all remained neutral, the Qin Wangfu occupied the lead, and the prince's party gradually became nervous, but the prince occupied the righteousness and was invincible.
There is no good way for the Qin Dynasty to do so, and as the New Year approaches, the two parties gradually calm down.
