Chapter 58: Jokes and Stories
In the eyes of the world, it doesn't matter what a person has done, what matters is the final result.
The same unusual move, failure is a joke, shame and ridicule;
If it succeeds, it's a good story.
It is talked about, praised and praised, and even left a name in history.
Li Shimin recalled Chen Yu's words.
Jokes, good stories.
It's a good analogy.
In other words, the change of Xuanwumen can become a stain that will never be washed away, and it can also become the starting point of a generation of Ming monarchs.
The point is that you have to do something, be a Ming Jun, and open up a period of governance and prosperity.
Thinking of the eight words that Chen Yu's last tone was aggravated - leaving a name in history and being famous for centuries, Li Shimin's heart swelled a little.
He secretly determined to be a promising monarch, telling the world and future generations that he was much stronger than Li Jiancheng and was the most suitable candidate for the prince and emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Coming out of the small courtyard, Li Shimin shook his robe, as if he was much more relaxed.
"Auxiliary, what do you think?"
The eldest grandson Wuji came out of the darkness, and he had been hiding in the dark outside the door, and the conversation between Li Shimin and Chen Yu was heard clearly.
"This is really unusual."
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the room where the lights were still on, and his deep eyes were also a little confused.
"Whether it is offering the Xuanwu Gate or suggesting that the convicts guard the Fanglin Gate, it is a great merit.
Forgive the minister's words, it is really about merit and reward, Chen Yu's merit is not under me and Fang Qiao (Xuan Ling), but he disdains it, which is really strange. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was not untargeted, if it wasn't for Chen Yu's reminder at that time, they might not have thought of it, and they might not have the determination to launch the Xuanwumen Change.
Once the time is missed, Li Yuanji will go on the expedition, and the Qin Wangfu will be completely emptied, and there will be no more chance.
There is also the advice to Gao Shilian, if it weren't for the criminals blocking Xue Wanche and Feng Li at Fanglin Gate, I am afraid that the old and young people of the Qin Wangfu would encounter accidents.
The success of Xuanwumen will cast a shadow, and it may even be sad and joyful.
Especially for their eldest grandson's family, their sister and nephews are fine, and Chen Yu is a benefactor.
Li Shimin said lightly: "Maybe he is afraid." ”
"Scared?"
"The cost of using solitude is not small."
"Utilization?"
The eldest grandson Wuji was a little puzzled for a while.
Li Shimin said lightly: "Think about it, what is the fundamental reason why he let Lizhi bring a message to Lone?" ”
"Ah......h
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said: "It is to make him confess, prison time, and even death." ”
"That's right, he didn't want to be offended, and he wanted to settle it once and for all, so he instigated the Guxuanwumen mutiny."
Li Shimin said: "In fact, he is risking Gu's net worth and life, which is simply bold." ”
"This ...... Truly...... But ......"
"Lone knows what you want to say, in fact, what Chen Yu said is not unreasonable, with Lone's situation yesterday, there is indeed no better way than this.
It is precisely because of this that because of his plan to keep the peace of the palace, Lone will forgive him for the sin of exploitation. If he is arrogant and arrogant tonight, or invites merit, Lone will hate him. ”
Li Shimin snorted: "On the contrary, he is obviously meritorious, but he insists on not accepting it, and he is very self-aware, but he makes Gu Gao look at it twice." ”
"If it weren't for His Highness's reminder, I would have ignored this verse, but he would have been so clear that he couldn't ......"
"Auxiliary, don't you really understand?"
Li Shimin laughed, and the eldest grandson Wuji followed with a smiling face, and some things were tacitly understood.
"Also, when he saw Lonely, he was calm and lofty, his face did not change, he was so young and old, and he was ingenious and resourceful, he was really a rare talent."
Li Shimin was very interested and asked, "Let you check his background, do you have any clues?" ”
"I have checked, a peasant boy in Fanchuan, south of the city, in addition to his widowed mother, is his father Jinlan brothers' family, who moved here during the war in the former Sui Dynasty."
"Where is the ancestral home? Who is his father? This son is burly and extraordinary, and he always feels that he is not an ordinary descendant. ”
"It seems that there is nothing special, it is rumored that Chen Yu is a posthumous child."
"Oh!"
Li Shimin nodded: "I'll check it out when I'm free, I want to know everything about him." ”
"Yes!"
The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "By the way, there is something quite interesting, according to the villagers of Fanchuan, Chen Yu was stupid in his early years, and he got lost in the mountains hunting in the winter of last year, and after he came back, he became smart and clever, and he was reborn." ”
"Oh, how wonderful is it?"
"That's right, the villagers claim that Chen Yu once met an old man with white beard and white hair in the mountains and taught him a lot."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Hearsay, do you believe in false rumors?" ”
"Your Highness, before yesterday, when I heard Chong'er talk about it, I also thought it was a rumor, but since I met Chen Yu, ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji paused: "It is said that Chen Yu was lost in the mountains near Hubei County, and that distance... Zongsheng Palace is not far away. ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows: "Auxiliary, ......what do you mean?"
"Your Highness, the Zongsheng Palace is a place to worship Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu is also the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty... Chen Yuxing may be the person who has come to assist His Highness as the ancestor of the Dao Monarch. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "No outsiders know about Chen Yu today, but paper can't hold the fire, and one day it will ...... If the Xuanwu Gate is mentioned again, Chen Yu will definitely be on the list.
If it is the person appointed by the Dao Monarch Ancestor, then ......"
Li Shimin knew in his heart that the eldest grandson Wuji wanted to use the ghost god ancestor to help him "endorse", and planned to shape himself into the monarch favored by Lao Tzu.
There is still some market for this set, and white-bearded old men often appeared in the Han Dynasty.
first appeared in the dream of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's favorite concubine Wang, and then Liu Che became the crown prince and became the generation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the British lord who expelled the Xiongnu;
After the old Changling envoy Tian Qianqiu met the white-bearded old man, he became the prime minister, and then rehabilitated the crown prince Liu Ju, who was killed in the witch curse.
The white-bearded old man of the Han Dynasty was Gaozu Liu Bang, and the Tang Dynasty could be the ancestor Li Er.
If it is publicized, Li Shimin is favored by Li Er, the old monarch of Taishang, and even the monarch selected, it will have a bit of "justification".
The bad effects of the Xuanwu Gate Revolution will be diluted a lot......
"Lone understands, you can do it!"
Li Shimin nodded, the reaction of public opinion is very important, and he has to pay attention to it.
"I'm tired and want to rest, so go back and rest!"
"Your Highness, there is one more important matter."
"What?"
"Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, and Wei Ting were captured, and Xue Wanche and Feng Li are still on the run, what should be done? Do you go to jail for all, or do you just ......"
Li Shimin pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, let them out and appoint their positions." Recruit Xue Wanche and Feng Li, each for his own master, as long as they come back, I will not blame, and the official will be reinstated. ”
"Your Highness......"
The eldest grandson Wuji was suddenly shocked, and his shock was beyond measure.
"Shicai Chen Yu's words are right, Lonely's mind should be as broad as the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally it can accommodate a few rebels."
Li Shimin said with a smile: "They are also rare talents, if they can be used by me...... Maybe it's also a good story. ”
