Chapter 358: Xuanfu Northern Capital (4)
Wei Chi Jingde was brought into the tent by Li Shimin's personal guards, and immediately knelt in front of Li Shimin:
"The last general will see His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and see the eldest grandson. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Ahh General Wei Chi, please. But Wei Chi Jingde kept kneeling on the ground and was unwilling to get up, so Li Shimin immediately helped Wei Chi Jingde up:
"General Wei Chi! Why did you come here so late and make such a big gift? Li Shimin said, and smelled the wine on Wei Chi Jingde again.
"General Wei Chi, what's the matter, you're drinking again?" Of course, Wei Chi Jingde would not say that he was depressed, so he relieved his sorrows. It's just that I have another bad habit of drinking some wine before going to bed to calm my nerves. Li Shimin directly cast a 'strange look that believes in you'.
"General Wei Chi, then why didn't you sleep so late and came to me?" Wei Chi Jingde opened the curtain of Li Shimin's handsome tent:
"King Qin, please take a look." Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji looked in the direction guided by Yu Chi Jingde, and saw a large and a small box on the ground, and after opening the box, they saw the light of the real money inside and the eyes sparkled. It can be seen that these gold and silver are all high-grade pure gold and pure silver (the composition of more than sixty percent of the gold and silver is called pure, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, a lot of gold and silver were buried in their own curtains by the big officials and dignitaries who quarreled with money, so the fineness of gold and silver currency is only three or four tenths), such a large amount of gold and silver in front of Li Shimin, but also provoked Li Shimin's greed.
"General Wei Chi, what do you mean by this? Also, where did all this gold and silver come from? ”
"His Royal Highness King Qin, please forgive the sins of Wei Chen!" What does Li Shimin seem to feel?
"General Wei Chi! What is your sin? ”
"His Royal Highness King Qin! These gold and silver were sent to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wei Zheng, and the ministers had no other way but to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin not to think that the ministers were eating inside and out, and rebelled against His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Since the humble minister saw that the king of Qin carrying the coffin for the ancestor Liu Wuzhou Dai Xiao and setting up a clothed mound, he has already given his heart to His Royal Highness, and he will never have two hearts in this life. These gold and silver were sent to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and today, the minister will hand them over to His Royal Highness for disposal. Wei Chi Jingde suddenly knelt down again, and Li Shimin immediately helped Yu Chi Jingde up again:
"Ugh! General Wei Chi! Why are you on your knees again? Hurry up, please! Wei Chi Jingde still refused to get up:
"His Royal Highness King Qin, please believe in Weichen!"
"Good, good! How could this king not believe you! Hurry up. After finally calming Wei Chi Jingde's emotions, Li Shimin gathered all the generals and subordinates under his command early the next morning and distributed the gold and silver to everyone. The next morning, in Taiyuan's former Hedong Taiyuan Left-behind Mansion, now in the Northern Capital Palace, Wei Zheng reported to Li Jiancheng:
"His Royal Highness the Prince! According to the report of the person who arranged for the Beichen to spy on him, after the Beichen left, the lieutenant Chi Jingde took the gold and silver given to him by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Qin for his guilt. When Li Jiancheng heard this, he smiled slightly, but in Wei Zheng's eyes, it was not like that:
"The humble ministers are ineffective, please punish His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Jiancheng smiled again, and helped Wei Zheng up:
"Ugh! Hyun Sung! What are you doing? Get up. You are not to blame for this! In fact, in the memory of Li Jiancheng's previous life, according to historical records, Wei Chi Jingde was Li Shimin's most resolute iron in the Xuanwumen Change, and even after the Xuanwumen Change, he took the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and the bloody spear to force Li Yuan to abdicate. Originally, I just wanted to drive a wedge between Wei Chi Jingde and Li Shimin, and to increase the contradiction between Wei Chi Jingde and those Jinyang veterans under Li Shimin. Now that it's resolved, it's not a big deal. On the contrary, you can't break the heart of your henchman because of such a small thing.
"Xuancheng! It's not a big deal, you don't have to take it personally. The most critical thing now is to deal with Wang Shichong in Luoyang. The palace has just received a secret report, and Wang Shichong's life over there is not very easy! "Luoyang, since Wang Shichong forced Yang Tong to give up the imperial throne to himself, changed the Yuan to be enlightened, changed the country name Da Zheng, and continued to kill because he was afraid of Yang Dong's restoration, and poisoned Yang Dong (compared to Yang Tong, Yang You's ending was slightly better, under the care of Li Jiancheng, he ate and slept every day, slept and ate, either watching songs and dances, or drinking and eating meat, and finally became a big meat ball, and finally died carefree in a sleep), the weather in Luoyang caused an abnormality, and after a few years, it was either snow or drought, And in addition, Li Tang's wars have been repeatedly lost, and the conspiracy has been repeatedly bankrupt, and the entire Luoyang and the surrounding areas of Luoyang are rumored - it is Wang Shichong who went against the sky, not only for the crime of killing the king, but also for killing too much, and for Li Tang to go against the sky (referring to participating in the salt famine in Guanzhong), he is a demon in the world, and even Wang Shichong's bloodline is used to talk about it, Wang Shichong's original surname is Zhi, and he is a Hu person in the Western Regions. It was because her mother remarried to the Taiyuan Wang family and changed her surname to Wang, and now she is sitting on the Han people's country, which is a trip against the sky, so she has been punished by God. These words reached Wang Shichong's ears, and the angry Wang Shichong shouted and sent secret agents to listen to the people's words in Luoyang and the surrounding areas of Luoyang. Some of the people around Luoyang have begun to flee. And some officials and officials were also affected. On this day, Wang Shichong was drinking in the palace, and the crown prince Wang Xuan should report:
"Enlighten the Emperor! Now the people of Luoyang and the major territories have fled again, and even the palace supervisor Dou Luda has rebelled against the court and fled to Li Tang. When Wang Shichong heard this, he was furious:
"What? The dog thing Douluda also ran away. I treated him well, at the beginning, he was just a small official, I saw him as smart and clever, promoted him to the palace prison, waited for me to be around, even he escaped. Darn! Wang Shichong said as he smashed the wine jug in his hand. Wang Xuanying looked at Wang Shichong:
"Father! It's not a way to go on like this! "'Smack!' Wang Xuanying's face was slapped by Wang Shichong.
"Fool, this little thing will also bother me, pass on the decree, implement the law of joint sitting in all our territories, if one person in the family escapes, the whole family, young and old, will be killed, and fathers, sons, brothers, husbands and wives will be exonerated as long as they denounce each other. He also commanded the five families to be one to supervise each other, and if any one defected and the neighbors did not find out, the neighbors around him were to be put to death. If it is a court official or a general in the army, the crime will be increased by one degree. Let them all send their families to the palace, and I will help them take care of them. All of you brothers are going to help me with this. Chin this! Just go! Wang Xuan should do it according to Wang Shichong's will, for a while, the entire Luoyang City was crying, a large number of Dazheng officials' mansions were harassed by the three Wang brothers, after the three Wang brothers arrived at the mansions of those officials, they saw that the officials' families were taken away directly regardless of whether they were old or weak, and for a while, the entire Luoyang City cried and shook the sky:
"His Royal Highness the Prince! My child is only three years old, please see that my young son is innocent, let my wife and young son go! ”
"Lord Zhao, don't worry, your wife will take good care of it. Take! ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"Lord Han! My old mother is very old, please forgive me to Lord Han! ”
"This is my father's order, and this king can't do anything!"
"Lord Han! My mother is close to the age of six, and I ask Lord Han for mercy! Yes! As long as I have it at home, Lord Han can take it casually! ”
"Hmmm! It's good for this king to look at the white jade Guanyin statue, this king's biological mother is just today's dead life, you want to be a white jade Guanyin statue of this king. May I? How dare the official not listen, and his trembling body made a staccato sound:
"Lord Han is filial, how dare the lower officials disobey? Lord Wang, please! Wang Xuanshu unceremoniously took the white jade Guanyin into his hand. King Zhao Wang Xuanqiong is even more desperate, after arriving at someone else's official residence, he has to take people away directly:
"Lord Zhao! Please! Our family is loyal to the emperor and has no two hearts, so I ask the prince to be gracious! Wang Xuanqiong, the king of Zhao, stared at the official's two daughters, and the official understood what Wang Xuanqiong meant:
"The prince must be tired this time, Meirou, Meixia, you accompany the prince first, wait well, and help the prince relieve his fatigue." Wang Xuanqiong happily pulled the official's two daughters into a room, and after a while, a woman's scream and a man's gasping sound were heard, and everyone outside the door understood what was going on inside. After about an hour, Wang Xuanqiong walked out with her pants satisfied:
"Lord Wang! Are you still satisfied? ”
"Hmmm! You alright! You! The king's two outer chambers will stay in your house first, and you will help the king raise them, and the other family members will be taken away by the king. After Wang Xuanqiong finished speaking, he was about to go outside, and the official took Wang Xuanqiong's hand and said:
"Lord Wang, you ...... Can't you leave them all behind? Wang Xuanqiong directly shook the official's hand:
"What's with what? Didn't this king leave your two daughters behind? Your other wives and concubines and sons, this king will take them away, otherwise, the emperor will not be able to deal with them. ”
"Lord Zhao! Please! Our family is loyal to the emperor and has no two hearts, so I ask Prince Zhao for mercy! ”
"Hmmm! You also said that your family is loyal to the emperor and has no two hearts, can't you help the emperor and the king share their worries? Okay, this king has other things, so he will go first. Wait a few days, this king will come again, oh! By the way, there is another sentence, there is no food and drink in the palace, you remember that when the king comes back, prepare some money, and then use it in the palace for some use. Hear no. After Wang Xuanqiong finished speaking, she left without looking back.
