Chapter Seventy-Two: Chen Bi'an's Anxiety
Taiji Palace Manna Hall
After the court meeting, Chen Bi'an, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was summoned by Li Shimin.
Li Shimin and Chen Bi'an are playing against each other.
It is rumored that the "iron neck" Chen Bi'an has been disobedient many times in political affairs, contradicting Li Shimin, and he is neither the emperor's heart nor the emperor's joy. It seems that these rumors are often not very credible. At the very least, the official position that can play against the emperor must be a high-ranking official above the third grade, and in terms of title, those below the rank of the prince cannot be called a prominent eunuch. Although this Li Shimin has been a virtuous corporal since he was young, he is quite virtuous. However, there has never been an official below the third grade who can sit in the Manna Palace. This is not so precious, at least in Li Shimin's place. The emperor's guests were slaughtered, princes, and old peasants in the fields. But for the others, not necessarily. At the end of the day, it's a rule.
Only this Dali Temple Shaoqing Chen Bi'an is an exception.
Li Shimin took the lead in black, and after a while, Chen Bi'an watched his dragon being slaughtered, and after determining that he had no chance of winning, he had to admit defeat.
After sitting for a long time, it is inevitable that the waist is a little uncomfortable. Li Shimin stood up and stretched the dragon body. The emperor got up, and of course Chen Bi'an couldn't sit anymore, so he stood up. Li Shimin thought for a moment and asked Chen Bi'an behind him. 、
"Capture the tiger" (Chen Bi'an's words), how many years have you and I known each other between the monarch and the minister? “
"Back to Your Majesty, it's been about fifteen years."
"Fifteen years? It's been so long? I remember when we first met, you were a kid. Fifteen years have passed? ”
Li Shimin sighed.
"Yes, fifteen years, under the care of His Majesty. Weichen can follow His Majesty and show his ambitions. ”
Chen Bi'an bowed.
Li Shimin waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.
"The Chen family's courtyard is occupied."
Li Shimin's thinking jumped a little, he was still nostalgic a while ago, and the next second he raised another irrelevant question. Fortunately, Chen Bi'an is also accustomed to it.
"The minister knows."
"Do you know who lives there?"
"Minister...... Know! “
Li Shimin turned his head, looked at the guy in front of him who was "low-eyebrowed", and asked again with a smile.
"You don't want to check it out?"
Chen Bi'an replied angrily.
"Minister, it's really faceless......"
Li Shimin sighed.
"I don't blame you for what happened back then, you also got the military order of your general. Speaking of which, the person who should be blamed the most is me. If I hadn't fought for the throne, those people wouldn't have died. Your general and his wife don't have to re-enter this world, and they both die in the end. ”
Xu Yes, thinking of some sad things, Li Shimin's voice was slightly low.
Chen Bi'an was silent for a moment.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself, the general said, from the perspective of righteousness, you are a king, he is a minister. In a small sense, you are a brother, and he is a brother. If the king is in trouble, the minister will not die for disloyalty. The brother is in danger, and it is unjust for the brother not to save him. How can disloyalty and injustice stand between heaven and earth? According to the character of the general, even if you don't say it, he will also shoot. Besides, you were also forced by the form at that time and had to send it. So I think even if I do it again, the general's choice will still be the same. “
I don't know if Li Shimin listened to Chen Bi'an's comfort, but the two gentlemen and ministers were not interested in talking when they mentioned this, Li Shimin didn't want to say it, and Chen Bi'an couldn't bear to say it. In the end, it was Li Shimin who broke the silence.
"The events of those years have passed, and you have not been idle all these years. The whole Dali Temple said that you were a mad dog released by me, which shows how unpopular you are...... You better go to the Chen family's small courtyard to see the brother and sister. After all, you're one of their few remaining relatives now. ”
"The Xuanqi Forbidden Army is all the relatives of the young master!"
Chen Bi'an's tone of voice was a little not good, and Li Shimin knew that he had resentment in his heart. But I didn't take it to heart.
The conversation continued, but there were only a few eunuchs and palace maids serving in this manna hall on the surface, and most of them were kicked out by the stewards and eunuchs. Therefore, no one knows what Li Shimin and Chen Bi'an talked about later. It was only after Chen Bi'an went out that His Majesty summoned Mingwei, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division. "Iron Neck" Chen Bi'an and Ming Wei, the commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division, were summoned one after another, I am afraid that this Jianghu and the court are about to usher in a storm again.
......
Empress Eldest Sun was pregnant at the beginning of the year, and although her body was a little bloated at this time, she was still in her prime. Natural beauty is probably a portrayal of this. The eldest grandson currently has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son, the crown prince Li Chengqian, and the second son, Li Tai, the king of Wei. The eldest daughter, Princess Li Li, is the princess of Chengyang, Li Fanghua. And what she is pregnant with in her belly is the future Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.
The eldest grandson is a woman of great wisdom. This wisdom is not only manifested in exhorting the king to accept advice and rewarding loyalty. The eldest grandson also attaches great importance to the education of his children, and even to a certain extent can be called strict, even if the prince slacks off in his studies, he will be severely responsible. What is even more commendable is that such a strict educational philosophy is for all princes, not just between the crown prince and the king of Wei. Therefore, it is not for nothing that Empress Changsun is called a generation of virtuous queens. Many historians in later generations asserted that if it weren't for the eldest grandson's early death, perhaps under the eldest grandson's ear and face, Li Chengqian would not have fallen to the point of meeting his father's sword soldiers.
The eldest grandson held a pile of unfinished characters in his hand, and the ink had not yet dried, and it looked like it had just been written.
Kneeling in the hall was Li You, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and Chen Liuli, who rubbed his knees from time to time.
"Look at you one by one, you are all princes and princesses, why do you look like this mountain horseman? Is there anything that can't be said properly and that can only be solved by force? I don't think you should study anymore in the future, and you will all go to the camp in Nanjinggi to be a big soldier with a knife and a gun. Maybe you can mix a female general and come back to give the palace a long face. “
The eldest grandson is really angry, to say that there are not no fights between the prince and the prince at this time. It's all children, and it's normal to have a fight. Even when the crown prince was beaten by "uncles" about the same size as himself in the past few years, his nose was blue and his face was swollen. As long as it's not broken, no one says anything. But today is different, the protagonists of today's brawl are Princess Gaoyang and Xiao Liuli of the Chen family.
This made her a little unacceptable, they were all pink female dolls. Usually you should be stingy when you speak, not to mention that one of them is still the daughter of the royal family, if you let others know, these two children are like wild girls in the countryside in the imperial garden, how will they get it in the future?
The eldest grandson felt that such behavior was resolutely not allowed and accepted.
