The eldest grandson, Wuji, has been depressed lately. For so many years, he is one www.biquge.info of Li Shimin's most trusted people, and he is at the forefront, Li Shimin has always known everything about him, and even his private affairs in the harem can be discussed with him.
However, for nearly half a year, the emperor seems to be plotting something with Li Su, the king of Liang, and not many people know about it, even his close friend, who has played since childhood, does not tell him.
According to his understanding of Li Shimin, what Li Shimin wants to do must be aimed at someone, that is to say, the things he wants to hide must not want some people to know, and those people are just unlucky people.
Lizheng Palace.
"Sister, what do you say the emperor is doing? He can't be distrustful of me, right? The eldest grandson Wuji said.
"Brother, you're thinking too much. I understand that what he wants to do must be something that you can't intervene in, or can't do it temporarily, and it has nothing to do with trusting you. Empress Eldest Sun said.
Empress Changsun won the trust of Li Shimin, that is, she never interfered in politics. Sometimes Li Shimin was happy to tell her about the affairs of the court, but she always stopped him and didn't let him say it.
Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said, "I think so too." In addition to this matter, the emperor still trusts me very much, and asks for my opinion when talking about other things. ”
"Brother, don't think about it. In this case, he doesn't want you to know, so don't ask, anyway, what he wants to do will not be aimed at us. Empress Eldest Sun said.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What my sister said is true. Then I will remind the prince and ask him not to inquire about it. ”
"Brother, I've already woken up. Just let him do his own thing. Empress Eldest Sun said.
East Palace.
The crown prince Li Chengqian said: "Master Zhang, you said that the sixth brother often goes to his father's place, what are they doing?" Cheng Chumo quietly left Chang'an, recently came back quietly, and then went to his father with his sixth brother.
He didn't say hello to me, and quietly left Chang'an again. What the hell is going on? ”
When the crown prince Zhang Xuansu heard this, he was taken aback, and he said, "Your Highness, how do you know these things?" Do you have an inside line around the emperor? This is a taboo thing!
If the emperor knows about it, it's terrible. I advise you to stop doing such things as soon as possible. ”
Li Chengqian said disapprerovingly: "I didn't mean to do this, someone saw it and took the initiative to tell me." Besides, I have no ill will towards my father. I just wanted to know what my father was doing in advance, so that I could help him do things. ”
Zhang Xuansu was really speechless. Heart said: "
This prince always wants to do something beautiful and prove his talent in front of the emperor. But his mind is not focused on doing things well, and he always focuses on these filthy places, always thinking of opportunism. How can this get things done?
His Royal Highness King Liang has done things in a down-to-earth manner, and things have been done more beautifully than the other. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has half the talent of His Royal Highness King Liang, I will be a good teacher. ”
Li Chengqian finally couldn't help his curiosity, so he sent someone to invite King Liang to the East Palace.
Unexpectedly, Li Su, the king of Liang, did not come, and he said a word to the person sent by the prince, and asked him to relay it to His Royal Highness the prince.
This was the first time Li Cheng had rejected Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian is the crown prince after all, he summoned King Liang, and according to the etiquette, King Liang should go to see the prince. Therefore. Li Chengqian said very dissatisfied: "Why didn't he come himself? What did he tell you to say? ”
The prince's entourage said: "His Royal Highness King Liang said, 'Please don't mix things with people that offend people'. ”
Li Chengqian said dissatisfiedly: "What is the matter? ”
The prince's entourage said, "His Royal Highness King Liang didn't say it. ”
Li Chengqian said angrily: "What is this sixth brother doing? What told me whether it should be mixed up with me, and why didn't he let me know? ”
Zhang Xuansu said to the entourage, "You go down first." ”
After leaving, Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Highness, isn't the meaning of His Royal Highness King Liang very clear? What he and the emperor want to do must be aimed at someone, he doesn't let you mix, he is protecting you. Moreover, since it is a secret, the emperor will definitely not let His Royal Highness King Liang reveal it to others. So, you still don't know as well. ”
Zhang Xuansu said in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart: "Even His Royal Highness King Liang told you, you may not be able to handle things well." Suddenly, he was very surprised that he had such an idea, it turned out that his heart had been disappointed in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to such an extent.
The local government of Chang'an City governs Wannian County and Chang'an County.
On this day, in a wine shop in Wannian County, the children of several local wealthy families were drinking and chatting, and another group of rich children came in. These two groups of people usually don't deal with each other very much, and they don't like each other when they meet at this time.
A rich kid in the tavern had drunk a little too much and didn't speak, so the two groups began to scold each other, and soon they performed a full martial arts.
Unexpectedly, the matter became more and more troublesome, and they went back to call for their own people, and as a result, a large number of domestic slaves and tenants came, and the two sides fought. Under the pressure of the local armed police force, the fight was stopped, but still caused 25 casualties.
Early Dynasty, Taiji Palace.
The Criminal Department reported the case and reported on the situation of the armed fights that had been collected from various places. In the first half of this year alone, as many as 2,265 vicious cases of armed fighting have been reported in various localities, and as many as 6,378 people have been killed or injured.
The possession of weapons by the civilian sector has become a huge hidden danger to social stability.
Not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the war had just subsided, and a large number of weapons were scattered among the people. Especially in the hands of those big clans, businessmen and nobles, the number of weapons is even larger, and the preliminary estimate is that the number of weapons in the hands of the Tang military is much more.
Li Shimin had long intended to confiscate it, but the people have always had a martial style, and even those students were holding books in one hand and swords in the other. The image of the later great poet Li Bai is a sword at his waist, and he sings poems to the scene, which is very chic.
It is really a big problem for large families to take care of their homes, support their families, escort them to the dart bureau, practice martial arts among the people, and so on.
However, Li Shimin was determined to accomplish this task.
After listening to the report of the Criminal Department, Li Shimin asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are your opinions?" ”
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, one of the main reasons for these vicious cases is that there are too many weapons scattered among the people, and for the sake of social stability, the minister recommends confiscating the weapons of the people. ”
As soon as his voice fell, there was immediately a heated debate in the court.
