Chapter 33: The Elegy and the Decree

For the people of Chang'an City, the ninth year of Wude can be said to be very lively.

First, in June, the king of Qin killed the crown prince and the king of Qi, forcing the emperor to succumb. That infighting, killing the city full of blood, but magically did not affect the ordinary people much. When the dust settles, everyone will live as they should. Datang is very stable, and Chang'an is very peaceful. Regarding the royal infighting, the onlookers said that as long as it does not affect our lives, it is best for you to die, and you can save some offerings.

In August and September, I heard that the Turks were coming to make trouble. It doesn't matter, I have to come every year anyway, I'm used to it. But I didn't expect that this time, in just a few days, Jieli was actually allowed to fight Sanyuan, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to fight Chang'an!

Seeing that Chang'an is under martial law, it is possible to directly face the military disaster at any time. All kinds of rumors have a market at once, this is especially the King of Qin, no, it is the emperor who does not cultivate virtue, kills his brother, and circles the sins created by his father!

The subsequent changes are truly shocking. The awesome Jieli was chased by a doll like a startled rabbit and ran away! Then I heard that this doll is the reincarnation of the heavenly gods.

So Jieli, who fought the autumn wind, became a boy who sent wealth, and countless large and small animals were sent to Guanzhong like no money. The price of all kinds of meat fell rapidly, and the people of Guanzhong who ate it were full of oil, and they were happy. Belch? Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter if you change the emperor, King Qin has better benefits when he was an emperor than when he was an emperor. Well, Your Majesty is so good, so good!

Li Kuan went all the way north, training Luo Yi and destroying Liang Guo, one by one bizarre rumors, with the immortal atlas that those big people had seen with their own eyes, it quickly set off a frenzy of public opinion among the people. Everyone heard the gossip again, it turned out that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was very unhappy about the royal infighting! Tsk, I'll have some fun now.

After the Turkic threat disappeared, the emperor finally ordered that the two brothers who died in the infighting be buried with royal rites. And the old genus is allowed to go to mourn before the death.

In the past few days, several high-ranking officials in the former East Palace have been enduring the cold and keeping vigil. No way, the situation is special, except for watching the excitement during the day, not many people are really willing to come. More are quietly taking advantage of the night to come to pay respects. After all, you still have to worry about a little future, not everyone is willing to fight for that bit of affection and life.

The descendants of the two kings died cleanly in that scuffle, and all those who survived were widows and orphans, and they could only keep filial piety in the inner hall. At this time, guarding in front of the spirit were Wei Zheng, the mirror of the ancient people, and Feng Li, the former crown prince's gold medal fighter.

When they saw Tang Jian and Wen Yanbo coming side by side, the two were somewhat surprised. It is indeed a bit rare to dare to come to mourn in broad daylight. However, seeing Wen Yanbo return to Chang'an safely, Lao Wei and Lao Feng were also very relieved, after all, they were their own people.

Tang Jian waved his hand, and the attendants lined up in two rows, placing two rows of wreaths made of white paper on both sides of the mourning hall. This form is relatively new, and it makes the empty mourning hall a little more popular.

Playing tricks? Old Wei Ting wondered, could it be the emperor's meaning?

Tang and Wen finished their salutes, and Lao Wei was in charge of reception. After all, it is the scale of the royal family, and there is still tea soup and wine. Even the waiters were temporarily sent from the palace, as for whether there was any other intention, then hehe.

Lao Wei first congratulated Wen Yanbo on his safe return, and then congratulated Tang Jian. Then I asked about the memorial.

Tang Jian shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not Your Majesty, it's His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" Well, that's his sacrificial text......"

And the sacrificial text? Lao Wei thought it was incredible, he had a nose and eyes before, saying that this master was a god descending to earth, but he was only eight years old, and there was only one person, so what if he could fight? Why, I haven't heard of him writing before, and this is the first one, but he made a sacrifice first?

When I looked up, I was instantly confused, and my mouth subconsciously made a sound.

"The three emperors and five emperors of morality, the fame of the Xia Hou Shang Zhou. The five heroes made a fuss, and they rose and fell in an instant. There are several lines of names and surnames in the history, and there are countless barren hills in the north. The fields of the predecessors were collected by the later generations, and it was said that the dragon was fighting for the tiger. ”

didn't raise his head, didn't pay off, just a few lines of bare words, eye-catching, eye-piercing, and heart-piercing!

Wei Zheng pondered for a long time, let out a long breath, sighed and shook his head. In the end, it is an immortal family, what will the emperor of the world be worthy, in his eyes, the dragon fight is a joke, right? !

Tang Jian reminded again: "This is a sacrificial text, and there is a couplet." ”

Well? Couplet? What is it?!

Looking to the left, on a large wreath, two lines of black characters are eye-catching: "For the country and the family, ten years of British name is appropriate**; became a king and became a king, and his enthusiasm was in vain. Look up a few small words: "Uncle built a public eternal." The payment is also a line of small words: "Niece Li Kuan respectfully." ”

Hiss! It's a really new form, and I don't care about it. The key is that this content does break through Li Jiancheng's life before and after. Terrible! The upper link is an affirmation of the merits of the construction, and the lower link is a pity for him. Although it is somewhat sarcastic, overall, it is quite pertinent.

Look at the right again, there is the same big wreath, the same two lines of big characters, but a little more words.

Shanglian is: "The Central Plains chases the deer, he thinks of the public, you think of selfishness, ambitious, it is difficult to tolerate a righteous person, afraid of him, afraid of him, and want to kill him; ”

The next link is: "The sea is prosperous, the upper is for the country, the lower is for the people, the male teacher is hot, there is no hesitation, scolding you and laughing at you, and hanging you today." ”

Wei Zheng was taken aback: "This ......"

If you don't want to come, forget it, no one insists on you to come. You come here, how can you give such an evaluation? Is this to mourn or to expose the shortcomings? This pair of couplets is first-class, and Yuan Ji is afraid that he will never be able to turn over.

Wen Yanbo also smiled wryly: "It's very straightforward, right?" To be honest, the old man was also shocked. You said that our master is really ......"

Tang Jian said: "Love and hate are clear! What a temperament! Along the way, I don't know how much trouble I have for these two pairs. Seeing Xuancheng's reaction, I was relieved. ”

Wei Zheng was stunned: "Why did Mao Yue say this?" ”

"You can't just let the two of us get entangled, you have to be uncomfortable with everyone."

At this time, Feng Li had already read the sacrificial text and the elegiac couplet, and interjected: "I think His Royal Highness the King of Chu wrote it well!" Too...... What a beautiful scenery King Xi used to be, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's righteous and outspoken words, I am afraid that there would not even be a funeral. But the king of the sea and Lingjun ...... Your Highness is right! If it weren't for him...... Alas! ”

Wei Zheng's mind was full of thoughts, and he sighed for a long time: "That's it, it's okay!" At least, it can ensure that Wang Ying's name does not fall. In this situation, it is a great blessing to be able to reach such a conclusion. Although we are subordinate officials, we are still outsiders in the end. ”

Several people were talking, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the mourning hall. A waiter hurriedly went out to inspect, and after a while, he came back with a tangled face.

“…… The king of Changle County in Liangzhou...... I heard that he was arrested by His Royal Highness the King of Chu...... and his three hundred soldiers were hanged by His Highness at the head of the city...... I heard that when the messenger set out, most of them froze to death......"

Everyone was surprised, and Feng Li muttered: "Endure your own bottom line...... I'm dripping a god......"

At the same time, Li Shimin's face in the Zichen Hall was full of iron, and his roar simply broke through the sky: "Imprison the history of assassination!" Kidnap the caravans! Kill the good and take the risk! Rate the beast to eat man! Such an animal can be the governor of a prefecture! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was pinching the report, pouted, this is to use the topic to play. was just not lightly angered by his son's two pairs of sake, and now he is just using this excuse to whitewash his actions on the throne: Look, the emperor and the crown prince used people to govern the world like this before, how can they do it if they don't overthrow it?! Therefore, my actions are just, bright, and righteous......

"Your Majesty! In the end, it is an important minister of the court, one side of the territory, is it inappropriate for His Royal Highness to lynch like this? ”

It was Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, who spoke, he was the emperor's uncle, the father, and the great Zongzheng, so he dared to say this. And he also had to say that the key is that Li Youliang is the Li Tang clan, and the practice is that if he violates the law of the country, he must be handed over to Zongzheng Temple to deal with. This is another symbol of the family and the world, and it is a manifestation of the family above the country.

No matter how bad Li Youliang is, he has to be escorted back to Chang'an and dealt with by him. Li Kuan directly killed people, which can be said to have violated his rights.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly handed over the report: "The prince misunderstood, His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not lynch him, but only temporarily detained him." ”

Li Shen fell down angrily: "On a snowy day in the winter moon, lock people up in the city? It's better to kill with a knife! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Your Highness said that from the moment you eat people, you are no longer human!" In the past, the king of Hejian County defeated the ogre Zhu Cang and killed all his subordinates, and everyone in the world applauded. Why? ”

"You!"

Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, stood up: "Good kill!" This kind of scum can be killed not only by His Highness, but also by everyone in the world! If the clan can condone its cannibalism and kill people, how do you want the world to view my Li Tang royal family? What's more, His Royal Highness is not disposing of it at will, he is the governor of Zhengyin Liangzhou! ”

Li Shentong was silent, to say that he was actually a generation higher than Li Xiaogong. But in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, whether to speak hard or not is not based on seniority, but on military exploits. People have real feats in pushing Huainan, and he is an empty Huai'an king, so it's better to keep his mouth shut obediently. There is also an even worse shortcoming, Li Shentong was cowardly in the Xuanwumen incident and did not support Li Shimin!

After all the nonsense, the monarch and the ministers reached an agreement and determined that Li Kuan's actions were reasonable and legal. Li Shimin issued an edict in public, appointing Li Kuan as the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Longyou prefectures to control the military and civilian affairs of the prefectures.

This is equivalent to a minister at the level of the official university, and only Li Jing and Qin Qiong are currently qualified in the entire Tang Dynasty. But now that he has given it to a little child, the ministers feel that it is somewhat excessive. But Li Shimin insisted on doing so, and now that he is the emperor, no matter how unhappy the courtiers are, they have to pinch their noses and admit it.

At the same time, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, was guilty of negligence and was removed from the post of Dazongzheng and succeeded by Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County. Li Shentong felt that he was really killed by Tai Sui, he was slapped on the left cheek and then on the right cheek, and he didn't get back to the field, but he was stabbed in the chest again!

Li Shimin's heart is also mixed, where do you know my difficulties! I don't even know what my son is capable of! If I don't take this opportunity to correct my name with him, who knows how to toss in the future!

The phrase "endure your own bottom line", God knows if it came to me!

This holy decree, that is the sincerity of my bow to him, if it is small, can he agree? It depends on whether he is happy to accept it!

Compared to the benefits he brought back to me, what is an empty official title worth!

When the holy decree was ready to use the seal, the ministers were shocked again: this jade seal is so familiar! This is, the heirloom jade seal!

Li Shentong is really in a mess now, it's over, and he can't turn over!
