Chapter 139: Unwilling
The news of Wu Yuanqing's safe return soon reached the ears of Li Shimin in the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So Wu Yuanqing stayed in Furong Garden for a long time before he was recruited into the palace.
Under the verbal command, Wu Yuanqing didn't even care about his family, let alone washing, bathing, changing clothes, etc.
After entering the palace, he simply washed his face and was led by the attendant to wait outside the Xiande Palace.
After standing for a long time, Li Chengqian, who came back together, also came over.
"It's really shameless, you are embarrassed to grab the rice cake in the mouth of a four- or five-year-old girl" Li Chengqian glanced at Wu Yuanqing with disdain.
"Hey, I said it's almost enough, you've said this more than ten times, and there's still no end" Wu Yuanqing said angrily.
..........
The two stood outside the main hall and argued, and there was already a lot of noise inside the main hall.
Looking at the head of Wang Junkuo in the wooden box held by the waiter on the side, Li Shimin's eyes were full of thoughts, anger, regret, sadness, and so many changes in his expression.
Stunned for a while, Li Shimin sighed and said: "Jun Kuo has high hopes, treason to the enemy, and the crime is unforgivable, but remembering that he has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, I want to bury him according to the lord, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, I think it's okay, anyway, Wang Junkuo is dead, his head has been cut off, and the punishment he deserves has been suffered, and the thick burial is worthy of his past credits" The person who spoke, with a beard on his face, a body full of tendons, and a wide official uniform that couldn't cover his muscular body, it was Cheng Chumo's father, Lu Guogong, Cheng Cheng, who bit gold, he and Wang Junkuo were both people from Wagang, and it was not surprising to help speak.
"The old minister disagrees with Lu Guogong's opinion, although Wang Junkuo has merit to the Tang Dynasty, but the merit is a merit or a fault, and the merit cannot be offset, and the merit made by Wang Junkuo, His Majesty also paid him with a high-ranking official, which is enough to cover everything he has paid, and now how can he use the credit that has already been repaid to compensate for the heinous sins he committed." The one who spoke out against it was the left servant of Shangshu with gray hair and a wrinkled face who shot Pei Lone.
When Cheng Yanjin spoke just now, although several generals who were also called to discuss the matter were a little moved, they did not say anything to echo them, because after all, it involved military officials and was a felony of treason, and several people had concerns in their hearts.
And Pei Lin is worthy of being the first prime minister, as soon as he spoke, other civil officials seconded it.
Wen Yanbo, the Chinese scholar, said loudly: "Although Your Majesty is benevolent and considers his merits, but the law cannot be abolished, and Wang Junkuo is the first traitor to the country and rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable. Therefore, the minister implored His Majesty to remove the title of Wang Junkuo and demote him to a concubine. ”
As soon as the words fell, the civil officials once again seconded the proposal in unison.
Seeing that there was only one Cheng Biting Jin who echoed him, there were a lot of objections, Li Shimin's face was pale, but he couldn't ignore the views of the ministers and insist on going his own way, and finally had to reluctantly agree to demote Wang Junkuo to a concubine and bury him hastily.
Then, Li Shimin began to put forward the next topic, that is, about Wu Yuanqing's reward, although it had been decided before, but it was decided before there was no Wang Junkuo. Now that Wu Yuanqing killed the traitor Wang Junkuo, he did not let the general succeed in escaping to the Turks, which can be said to have reduced the losses of the Tang Dynasty and saved the face of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor.
As a result, as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, he was met with another wave of opposition.
Although there are not as many people who oppose this time as just now, the opposition is even tougher, and the two people who are the first are Pei Lin and Wen Yanbo.
"Your Majesty, Wu Yuanqing District Huangkou Xiao'er, it's just a coincidence that he got a high-yield seed, and rewarding him as Sinong Shaoqing is already exceptional, how can he be promoted again when the holy oracle is not issued," Wen Yanbo said.
Li Shimin saw that it was these two guys who were blocking him, and the fire that had just been suppressed came up.
I thought, it doesn't matter if the two of you oppose it just now, after all, Wang Junkuo himself has committed a crime, but this time Wu Yuanqing has made meritorious contributions, why should you oppose it.
Don't think that I don't know the filth in your hearts, isn't it because Wu Yuanqing has an enmity with you, and you want to take revenge.
I don't care if you take revenge, but it's too much for a communiqué like this, whether it's right or wrong, to take the rights I have given you, and to treat me, the emperor.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Li Shimin slapped the case a few times, interrupted Pei Lian, who was speaking with words, and Qiangang said arbitrarily: "There is no need to say much about Wu Yuanqing's affairs, I have already made a decision in my heart, come, Xuanwu Yuanqing will enter the hall."
Hearing the shrill shout of the chamberlain, Wu Yuanqing waved his hand at Li Chengqian and turned around and walked in.
"Minister Wu Yuanqing meets Your Majesty," Wu Yuanqing shouted three times, long live, and knelt down to salute.
After hearing the waiver, Wu Yuanqing stood up, looked up curiously at Li Shimin, a generation of Ming Jun praised by thousands of people in later generations.
I saw Li Shimin's appearance of twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with an angular face, a straight nose, deep eyes, lips that are neither thick nor thin, two mustaches, and a height of about 1.75 meters.
is going to be seen by the of later generations, and it is estimated that it is indispensable to pounce on it and shout a few times that it is so handsome.
"Wu Yuanqing, you offer horseshoes, steel-making methods, high-yield crops, and repeatedly save the prince Chengqian, this time and kill the traitor Wang Junkuo, in the country and I have great merit, I want to make you a martial arts marquis, thousands of households in the food city, 500 households in the real food city, and the official worship Sinong Shaoqing, Yinqing Guanglu doctor, wearing a purple robe, wearing a gold fish bag, in charge of the cultivation and breeding of high-yield crops, and ordered you to accompany the prince Chengqian to study in the East Palace. Are you satisfied with such a reward," Li Shimin asked with a smile after saying a bunch of words.
What, Marquis, then who will inherit the dukedom of Lao Tzu's country, the duke has become a marquis, and this loss-making business can't be done.
Wu Yuanqing didn't listen to the list of rewards such as the real post and scattered officials behind him, and he never thought about being an official.
As for what purple robe to wear and what goldfish bag to hang, in his previous life, he was black all the year round, and he didn't even like the Guanyin pendant, so he couldn't look down on any broken purple robe and broken goldfish.
So when Li Shimin smiled and asked if you were satisfied, Wu Yuanqing said without thinking: "Your Majesty, the minister is unwilling, the minister wants to wait for my father to inherit his title in peace and stability in a hundred years."
"Evil obstacles, you dare to talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you"
