Chapter 123: I can't bear the Emperor anymore!
For Emperor Taishang, whenever the rule of Zhenguan was mentioned in later generations, it was not Empress Changsun who often hooked up with the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin, but Wei Zheng, a-stirring stick.
Zhenguan is famous, and Wei Zheng is the first to be recommended.
There is no shortage of practical officials such as Fang Du in all dynasties. But what the dynasties lacked was an official like Wei Zheng who dared to admonish, or two right people who looked at each other.
Li Shimin, who had experienced the change of Xuanwumen, was anxious to use his merits to wash away the stain on his past. And Wei Zheng ...... Perhaps it is for the well-being of the people of the world to adhere to and tenacious.
Although Li Shimin has a great record at this moment, in the eyes of the courtiers and even the people, he is a tyrant who cooks his brother and slaughters his brother and has fun, and he cannot rise to the image of the late saint of Zhenguan at all.
"This matter ......" Li Shimin sighed lightly, on the one hand, his father begged, if he killed the person who was released on bail by the Emperor Taishang, and cut off the hope of the Emperor Taishang to visit the Tao and seek the elixir of life, his heart ...... will feel even more guilty.
But on the other hand, it is Wei Zheng's insistence, and it is a decision to admonish him to death!
With this in mind, he raised his toes, stepped onto the line, and said lightly under the canopy held by the eunuch's maid: "The Emperor has never been negative, and a certain Anken will bear the Emperor again?" This is to cut off people's desires, although a certain emperor, but also the son of the emperor's knees......"
With that, he pulled down the curtain and closed his eyes gently, with tears in his eyes.
Father, his life is not long in coming, how can he live up to the emperor again?
Choosing one of the two, Li Shimin gave the answer, Wei Zheng is a minister, and he is a king, even if there is a stigma in the world, but it is better than ...... It hurt Li Yuan's heart again.
Hearing Li Shimin's sigh, Wei Zheng seemed to drain all his strength, collapsed to the ground, and the official hat on his left hand also slipped to the ground and rolled a few times.
"Woohoo? The minister admonishes with death, and the king listens directly. Since the current monarch is tired of it, the minister should also die Kuang Sheji! ”
He sneered a few times, drew the rain-soaked sideburns behind his ears, and puffed up his strength again, and the white head finally hit the edges and corners of the high platform like a stubborn old cow.
The platform is made of compacted rammed earth, and a layer of marble slabs is laid on it. The rain slowly flowed down the crevices, only mixed with more and more bright red blood.
The onlookers in Chang'an became more and more silent, letting the rain beat, and some with umbrellas were also put away again. One person knelt down, and the others began to kneel in a sparse manner......
The painting is extremely quiet, but the corner of Chang'an at the moment is still like a painting. Only the spring rain in the ears proves that the sky is cloudy and the heart is sad......
The floor is very cold and cold, and if you change it for a while, there may have been a nagging old woman complaining about the weather at the moment, and the rheumatic pain will return....... But at the moment, it was very quiet.
Silence is respect.
"Brother Xuancheng, why bother?" Du Ruhui took the lead in helping Wei Zheng, who fell to the ground, and his colleagues had expected this for many years, but after all, he was a step too late.
Du Ruhui's screaming was not loud, but it spread throughout the school.
Li Shimin stopped his journey, jumped down, and didn't care about etiquette and humility, picked up Wei Zheng's fainting body, and whimpered: "I lost my mystery, like losing a mirror, and God has no mercy...... It's also a dilemma, why should you beg for death in anger? If Xuancheng dies, then who dares to admonish a certain official in the world, and who dares to admonish again? ”
As soon as the words stopped, the ministers were all grief-stricken, especially the Yanguan who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and the mood was even more uncomfortable, Wei Zheng was dead, what did they mean by being alive?
There were a few people who were excited, flicked their sleeves, and went to hit the wall with indignation.
But with Wei Zheng's experience, the guards had already grown into a heart, and they had already blocked the death-seeking psychology of several officials.
"In the past, Wang Ti held the admonition chapter in his left hand and the sword in his right hand, so he couldn't persuade Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei to Shu, and he died by himself! Wei Zhongcheng has followed the example of the sages, how can we survive for a long time? A speaker said angrily.
Li Yuan, who was on the side, was also uncomfortable in his heart, he thought that Wei Zheng was just putting on a show, but he ignored the determination of the ancients too much, especially Wei Zheng, a famous minister through the ages, and the integrity in his chest was difficult for anyone to consume.
What's so terrible about dying? As long as the emperor is awakened from now on, then everything is worth it.
This is foolish, but admirable.
But......
Li Yuan's brows jumped unnaturally, and when he saw Wei Zheng who was being held by Li Shimin, his fingers trembled, and the amplitude was still very large, and he seemed to be still ...... Alive?
Seeing this, he couldn't care about the filthiness just now, and stepped forward and said: "Wei Zheng is not dead yet, he can still rescue and rescue, why are you people crying?" ”
The Emperor Taishang said while asking the eunuch next to him to stop the line, it was a rainy day at this time, and in the heavy rain, it was difficult to ensure that the wound would not become inflamed.
As long as it is not killed on the spot, it is generally a traumatic injury. However, if you don't take good care of it, you can't guarantee that the wound won't become infected. Wei Zheng's head was injured, and if the wound was infected, it would be really difficult to say whether he would die.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately picked up Wei Zheng and put him on the line.
.......
Zheng Guo Gong's Mansion.
A bedroom in the side hall.
Emperor Taishang wiped his sweat and finally snatched Wei Zheng back from Yama. In fact, he didn't do anything else to treat Wei Zheng, just simply disinfect with alcohol, and then bandage it with linen.
But at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, where was there high-purity alcohol for disinfection, and they didn't know how to have wound infections, almost all of them depended on the destiny of heaven.
Therefore, as long as the injury is too severe, it is almost a fatal death.
Wei Zheng twitched slightly, although he still fainted, but the stinging sensation of the alcohol still made him moan softly, he often made a-stirring stick, he really didn't expect that he would have such a painful day.
"Waiwai wife, thank you for the grace of the Emperor Tai for saving her life." Wei Qinshi suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Emperor Taishang a few times.
The Tang Dynasty did not promote kowtow, and only on major occasions such as sacrifices or enthronement ceremonies, court officials would kneel to worship the emperor.
Although the people are not as noble as the officials, they can only kneel symbolically, which is far less exaggerated than the three kneeling and nine knocking in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Wei Qin's family is also a life wife, she belongs to a lady with grade, and her gratitude is overflowing when she kneels.
Li Shimin, who was outside the bedroom, also walked in when he heard the voice, and sighed: "Xuan Cheng is a minister of the country, but it's a pity that his temperament is too ......straightforward."
Speaking of this, his tone was sluggish, and he chuckled, "Chenchen just wants to be straight!" ”
Emperor Taishang bowed slightly, Zhenguan is prosperous, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng are indispensable, and this moment is only the first year of Zhenguan, and the prosperity has not yet emerged.
Zhenguan four years, that is the beginning of the real prosperity.
