Chapter 330: Drafting the Edict of the Abolition of the Post
Since Emperor Li Zhi succeeded to the throne for more than five years, his performance was still very gentle, and he was called Renjun.
But Zairen's emperor, when he really touches the scales, he will also burst into thunderous rage. There are hundreds of sets of armor in private collection, and there are even eighteen sets of armor and riding equipment, which is enough to shock the emperor.
This is in Chang'an City, and the Liu family is only two or three squares away from the imperial city. The Liu family is the queen's uncle's family, does this mean that if he wants to abolish the queen and abolish the crown prince raised by the queen one day, then the Liu family may directly come to Chang'an City to mutiny?
It's not impossible, and it's not impossible to succeed.
When Emperor Taizong launched the Xuanwu Gate, he had no soldiers in his hands and no one in his hands, so he relied on dozens of people, all with ruthlessness, and took advantage of the preemptive strike to beat Gaozu and the abolished prince to build them by surprise.
When Li Zhi was born, it was already the second year of Zhenguan. But in fact, it is not far from the change of Xuanwumen. Although the change of Xuanwumen was a taboo topic, as an emperor, he had enough understanding of it. It was precisely because of his understanding that he was extremely afraid of another change in the Xuanwu Sect.
Li Zhi can let him go and forgive him for his death after Li Ke admits to rebellion. can also protect his glory and wealth after the eldest grandson Wuji admits defeat, and even recall Li Daozong, Chu Suiliang and other veterans who he beat down single-handedly.
However, there are some things he will not compromise.
Even if the Liu family is the queen's maternal uncle's family, it will not escape this catastrophe.
Li Xiao has been silently watching all this in the corner, and he believes that the emperor is really angry, not just playing on the topic.
Li Zhi has indeed always wanted to abolish the queen, and he has always been a little jealous of the queen's maiden family, such as the Taiyuan Wang family, such as the Hedong Liu family of his maternal uncle, and the five surnames and seven in-laws of the Wang family.
Li Xiao knows history and knows that the emperor will be deposed sooner or later, and in history, the eldest grandson Wuji has always refused to give in, and he has not stopped the emperor.
Don't look at Li Zhi, who usually seems to be very talkative, but once this guy gets up, he is even more ruthless than his father. Li Zhi's father Li Shimin is still a guy who is very good at acting, and his acting skills are excellent.
But Li Zhi doesn't need acting skills, he just needs to lose his temper at a critical time. As soon as the cow's temper came up, no one could stand it, regardless of his hard work.
The eldest grandson Wuji and other elders were all killed by him.
Li Xiao squinted at Li Ji.
The old guy still looked very calm, as if he had expected the emperor to be angry, and he didn't look like he was admonishing at all.
Li Xiao sometimes really admires this Li Ji, Li Ji naturally seems to be the kind of person who has no position.
For example, Li Jiben was the brother of Wagang boss Zhai Rang, and he was also the third leader of Wagang. As a result, when Li Mi took the lead and beheaded Boss Zhai on the spot at the banquet, Li Ji was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, and then naturally recognized Li Mi as the new boss.
Later, Li Mi was defeated, and Li Ji recognized Li Yuan as the boss again.
Before the change in Xuanwumen, Li Shimin looked for Li Ji and said that our usual partners are not bad, but now that my brothers are in trouble, you can pull my brothers. As a result, Li Ji didn't pay attention to it at all, but he didn't help Li Shimin, but he didn't betray Li Shimin to tell Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
Afterwards, Li Shimin became the crown prince, and he had a grudge against Li Ji, so he let Li Ji sit on the cold bench for several years. But Li Ji, no matter how you toss me, I don't complain.
Then he finally became the minister of Gu Ming, but in the new dynasty, how to control the power of the eldest grandson, he, the minister of Gu Ming, has no opinion.
The eldest grandson Wuji seized the emperor, and Li Ji didn't care.
And when the emperor got the support of many military generals to come to him, Li Ji did not refuse.
This kind of person, the standard traitor look, is to be a man without a position, fall with the wind, whichever side is stronger, although there will be occasional mistakes, but people have a good attitude.
For example, now, as a prime minister, or the most prestigious prime minister, Li Ji should stand up and advise the emperor, stop being angry, don't be impulsive, and don't lightly move the Liu family, otherwise you will not be the prince who will be abolished after the iron heart is abolished, and it will be too important to do things like that, and you have to think about it first.
But Li Ji didn't say anything, and he didn't let out a fart.
No wonder Li Ji is a tumbler.
Look at Qin Qiongcheng's bite of gold, he also threw himself from Wagang to the Tang Dynasty, but Qin Qiongcheng's bite of gold has never been as good as Li Jiming's.
Although Li Ji was late in voting for Tang, he was crowned king as soon as he voted over, and then he refused, and only agreed to be crowned a prince.
Look at Cheng Yanjin, although he has lived longer than Qin Qiong, he is only a general now, what about Li Ji, who is in and out of the general, and is also a minister who cares about his life, and also becomes a master.
The more Li Zhi talked there, the more excited he became, and finally couldn't help blurting out, "The Liu family is the queen's uncle's family, and the Wang family is the queen's mother's family, but so many things have happened." As the mother of the country, although the queen lives in the harem, she also has an unshirkable responsibility. Taifu, you plan to abolish the edict for the edict! ”
As he spoke, Li Zhi finally said what he had always wanted to say.
After the abolition.
Although many people know that the emperor has always had the intention of abolishing the queen, this is the first time that the emperor has made his thoughts public.
Especially at this juncture.
"Your Majesty, no!"
Li Daozong hurriedly persuaded.
"Your Majesty should not be taken lightly." The Chinese scholar also advised.
"Your Majesty thinks twice." Cui Dunli, the secretary of the ministry, also persuaded bitterly.
Even Yuwenjie, the imperial historian, also pretended to persuade a few words.
As a result, Li Ji was silent.
This old traitor clearly knew the emperor's attitude and intentions, so he didn't want to be the one who annoyed the emperor at all.
This kind of person is blindly flattering, Li Xiao thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, the emperor suddenly pointed at him.
"Ruiqing, tell you all the ministers, is it wrong for me to say that the queen is immoral, is it wrong for me to want to abolish the queen?"
Li Xiao didn't expect that the emperor would ask him this at this time.
He also had the official position of a secretary and a young eunuch before, and he could indeed sarcastically advise the emperor, but he was no longer a secretary and a young eunuch, he was only inspecting the history of Wuzhenzhou's assassination now, if it weren't for the emperor being in his house today, he would not be qualified to meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of Your Majesty's family, and the minister does not dare to say anything." Li Xiao said.
"I told you to speak, you just have to speak."
"Your Majesty, this is Your Majesty's family business."
Li Xiao said again, and especially accentuated the word family affairs.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then remained silent.
Taifu, British Gong, and Tongzhongshu Sect Pingzhang Li Ji turned his head and glanced at Li Xiao, and there was still some surprise in his eyes, this sentence was originally thought of by him after thinking about it for a long time just now, and he thought that if the emperor asked him, he would use this to answer.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiao was the first to say it.
After a brief period of surprise, Li Zhi finally came back to his senses.
Family affairs, this is my family affairs, after the abolition of the establishment, it is like divulging a wife and marrying a wife, if you want to marry or not, it is naturally up to you to say it, how can the retainers interfere.
"Yes, Ruiqing is reasonable, this is a matter of my family, so why do you have to agree!"
"Your Majesty, how can it be a family affair after the abolition, the emperor's affair is a state affair, and there is no trivial matter in heaven!" Li Daozong is still persuading.
Lai Ji even said loudly, "The queen was born in a family, and it was chosen by the first emperor for His Majesty, and it is against the order of the first emperor to be easily abolished!" ”
"Ying Gong, you say!" Li Zhi was blocked by several prime ministers, and his face was red with anger. Although Li Xiao said that this was his family matter, Li Xiao was humble after all.
Li Ji ignored the eyes of Lai Ji and the others, and arched his hand, "The minister thinks that what Li Xiangrui said is very reasonable, this is a family matter of the Son of Heaven, why does Your Majesty ask me and other outsiders!" ”
"Well, after all, there are a few people who can understand current affairs. Then there is an edict written by Mrs. Lao for me to abolish the post! ”
Li Ji ignored the angry eyes of Lai Ji and the others, and really walked towards Li Xiao, "Xiangrui, bring a pen and paper to the old man!" ”
Li Xiao couldn't have imagined that this abolished edict would be written and issued at his own home.
"Okay."
When he just said in front of everyone that the abolition of the queen was a family affair of the Son of Heaven, Li Xiao knew that he had chosen to take sides.
But he was already a member of the Wu team, and he had no other choice. If you want to stand in line, you must always stand on the side of the winner.
Just like Li Ji, an old traitor, you have to learn to adapt to the times.
He comforted himself in his heart, anyway, if he has himself or not, some people will say that this is a family matter of the Son of Heaven and there is no need to ask outsiders. Anyway, in the end, in history, Li Zhi still abolished the queen and the crown prince Li Zhong, which is the general trend of history.
Maybe his appearance has brought about many changes, and the contradictions and conflicts in this power struggle have been alleviated a lot, for example, isn't the eldest grandson Wuji not defeated, isn't he still playing hammer pills leisurely?
Some of them brought paper and ink in a fluctuating mood.
"Grind the ink!" Li Ji said to him.
Abolish the edict of the queen and the queen, use the pen and paper of my Li family, and the ink is still sharpened by my Li Xiao, Li Xiao can't help but think of these in his mind.
Li Ji's writing style is actually average, but it is okay.
A abolished edict is written in all directions, nothing amazing, but there is nothing wrong with it, just a cup of tea time, the edict is written, Li Zhi took the imperial view, very satisfied.
"Let's sign and seal the names of the ministers of the Chinese book!" Li Zhi returned the edict to Li Ji.
Li Ji wrote his name on it without saying a word, and also stamped the seal under the door of the Chinese book, that flattering look, Li Xiao was amazed, this shameless appearance, it was really enough for him to learn more.
The content of the edict is actually very simple, the queen was abolished as a concubine, and her mother and brother were all exiled to Lingnan.
As for the crown prince Li Zhong, who was raised by the queen, he did not mention it for the time being.
This matter is not in a hurry, but everyone knows that once the queen is abolished, the crown prince Li Zhong will definitely not be able to keep the position of the prince, this is only a matter of time, and it will not be too late.
Li Ji signed his name and put the edict on the table, "Princess, sign it!" ”
Laiji and Li Daozong both glared at Li Ji, but Li Ji didn't care at all.
After waiting for a while, no one stepped forward to sign, and Li Zhi was a little dissatisfied with it.
Li Xiao stabbed Li Yifu with his hand, "Li Xiang." ”
Li Yifu reacted, and the emperor was unhappy. In fact, he didn't mean to oppose the abolition, but according to the practice of the political hall, when the edict is signed, it must be signed by the Zhongshu order first, then the waiter, and then the Zhongshu waiter, which is also an unspoken rule of default in the political hall.
Li Daozong's refusal to sign for a long time made his attitude almost suspicious by the emperor.
He hurriedly gave Li Xiao a grateful look, and then squeezed Li Daozong away, "Wait, let someone come first." After speaking, he picked up the pen and attached his name to Li Ji with the brush.
Li Daozong glared at Li Yifu angrily, but Li Yifu didn't care about this.
There were two beginnings, Li Ji and Li Yifu, and then Xu Jingzong, Yuwenjie, etc. also signed them, and in the end, only Laiji, Li Daozong, and Cui Dunli refused to sign.
Li Xiao looked at the emperor and wanted to be angry again, so he leaned in front of Li Daozong and said, "King of the county, the matter has come to this, why do you still blindly resist Tianwei, there are already eight signatures of the eleven ministers." ”
Li Daozong looked at Li Xiao, then at Li Ji, and then at the emperor with a bad face, and finally had to sigh, pick up the pen and write his name on it.
Li Xiao is right, it doesn't matter whether he signs it or not, it can't change the result of this abolished edict, but if he doesn't sign, it will change the fate of him Li Daozong and his family.
Li Daozong signed, and Laiji and Cui Dunli finally signed their names reluctantly.
At this time, the emperor finally showed a satisfied smile!
