Chapter 236: Discipline the Emperor
Wang Haoran hurried back to Wang's house with a special team, and not long after he left the palace, he met a group of soldiers escorting a person to this side, followed by many ordinary people watching the excitement. Wang Haoran took a closer look, and the person who was escorted turned out to be Zhang Liang!
"Little master, you're out of the palace!" One of the soldiers greeted him and said, "The villain is about to enter the palace to find you!" ”
"Oh? What's going on? Wang Haoran pointed at Zhang Liang and asked.
"Little young master, forgive me, our soldiers were originally the subordinates of this thief, and they were oppressed by this thief and had to follow the rebellion. After the rebel Hou Jun set an ambush, the thief wanted to kidnap the Emperor and His Majesty, but he did not succeed. After escaping from the palace, in order to escape smoothly, the thief thought of going to Wang's house to grab a few hostages and take them away. Everyone in the world is grateful to the little master, if there is no little master, how can there be a day without worrying about food and clothing? Naturally, the villain and I would not agree to let this thief persecute the little master's family, so we tied up the thief together, and we were planning to hand it over to the little young master. ”
Wang Haoran hated people who were making trouble for his family, but before he could get mad, the surrounding Datang people began to curse, if it weren't for the fact that there were no vegetables here at this time, and there were no stones or anything like anything on the ground to smash, otherwise Zhang Liang would definitely be smashed with a blue nose and swollen face.
There was an old man among the onlookers, who cursed Zhang Liang while looking for a stone on the ground, but unfortunately he didn't find it, so he simply threw the crutches over, which was not to be said, and smashed it directly on Zhang Liang's nose. Zhang Liang suddenly had a nosebleed, but his hands were tied and he couldn't wipe it, so he could only let the nosebleed all over his mouth.
"And what happened to my family?" Wang Haoran said worriedly.
"Little master, don't worry, they're all fine." The soldier replied.
Wang Haoran relieved his heart at this time, he didn't repay the avenger by torturing people, so he stepped forward to ask one of the soldiers for a sword, ready to directly give Zhang Liang a break.
Zhang Liang's face turned pale with fright, and he struggled hard.
"Don't move, you're going to die, but you're struggling like this, if I can't stab you to death with a sword, then I'll have to stab you again, won't you suffer one more time?" Wang Haoran said coldly.
"I am the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty and the Duke of Yun Guo, you have no right to execute the old man!" Zhang Liang shouted hysterically.
"It's not a question of whether I have the power to deal with you, you should be prepared to die when you want to move my family. What's more, you are now just a rebel and thief, not only will you die, but your wife and children will also pay for your mistakes. ”
Zhang Liang was speechless, and his heart was desolate.
Wang Haoran didn't grind, and directly inserted the sword into Zhang Liang's heart.
"As for your ......" After the blade was brightened, Wang Haoran said to those soldiers, "The state has national laws, if you are only forced to cooperate with the rebel to rebel, maybe I can still ask the Emperor for you to intercede, but not long ago, you and this traitor directly collided with the Emperor and His Majesty, and the two accounts are counted together, and it is not too much to kill the head." ”
"Little young master, we and other sinners don't have the luxury of surviving, I just hope that the little young master can ask the emperor for me and other sinners to be extra gracious and let me and other wives and children go." The soldiers bowed and pleaded.
Since these people have saved their families from trouble, Wang Haoran can't sit idly by and watch their lives or deaths. Li Shimin is still open-minded, for the sake of the overall situation, he will definitely not hold the rebel soldiers accountable, but he also has fire and also needs to be powerful, so he will definitely kill these soldiers who directly collide with him. Wang Haoran thought about it, decided to help them, and said: "You can take that bright head and present it to the emperor, just say that I said it, and your fate after that depends on your creation." ”
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and with a lot of gratitude, they cut off Zhang Liang's head and rushed to the palace.
"A bunch of slippery heads!" Wang Haoran realized at this time that maybe these people wanted to enter the palace from the beginning and use Zhang Liang's head to atone for their sins, but Wang Haoran didn't care much, after all, they did save his family.
The next day, Li Shimin sent a eunuch to Wang's house to greet him and summoned Wang Haoran into the palace. When Wang Haoran arrived at the palace, many old ministers had been summoned to the Daming Palace at this time, and they discussed the issue of rewards, punishments, appointments and dismissals of other officials. This adjustment was basically concentrated in the upper echelons, because Hou Junji had not been in power for a long time, and he had not been able to make any changes to officials outside him.
"Haoran, now in the imperial court, most of those founding heroes are old, many are no longer alive, and there are not many people left except for the renegades. There are only a handful of loyal ministers who can take on great responsibilities. At present, the turmoil in the imperial court is initially decided, or you will stay in the capital, and the widow will appoint you as the prime minister, and concurrently serve as the secretary of the military department, how about sharing one or two for the widow? "Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Li Shimin was promoted to an official this time, and he had to be loyal to him, if Wei Zheng only appeared at this time, Li Shimin would definitely not be reused, and his courage back then no longer exists.
Wang Haoran knew that what Li Shimin said this time was not a joke, as long as he nodded, he could immediately get the status of one person and ten thousand people, but Wang Haoran still didn't want to be an official, or that it was not the right time. Compared with being a big official, he can promote the rapid development of Datang in business, maybe a few years later, or decades later, Wang Haoran's influence on Datang's business is getting weaker and weaker, and then he may be able to consider getting an official position.
"Brother Huang, do you still remember the three aspirations that the younger brother said back then?" Wang Haoran didn't wait for Li Shimin's answer before continuing, "Now there is still an ambition that has not been achieved, and before this ambition is realized, the younger brother will definitely continue to do research." ”
"Is it a flying dream? How long will it take to complete? Li Shimin hopes that Wang Haoran's ambition can be achieved as soon as possible, in this case, Wang Haoran will have no reason not to enter the court as an official.
"At least three or five years, at most ten years." Wang Haoran thought for a while before replying, he hadn't set any deadline for himself. Wang Haoran's prediction of the time required is conservative, and now that the fuel power is about to be developed, at this rate, if he asks the research team to concentrate on developing the aircraft, it may not take three years. Of course, the aircraft that Wang Haoran wants to develop is definitely not like a helicopter or fighter like later generations, even if Wang Haoran is given all the production equipment he needs, Wang Haoran is not sure that he can make such a thing, what he wants to do is just a simple plane.
"It's been so long!" Li Shimin sighed regretfully.
Wang Haoran saw Li Shimin so depressed, how could he have the courage of the past! So he said: "When the former dynasty had no virtue, the world was in turmoil, and the forces around the country did not know how many, and it took seven or eight years for the imperial brother and the first emperor to calm down the forces of all parties. This turmoil in the Tang Dynasty, compared to before, is a drop in the bucket, for the imperial brother, what is this? ”
"It's a pity that there are not many soldiers left who followed the widow back then......" Li Shimin ignited a sense of pride.
"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the new people in the floating world drive out the old people, under the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, there are many talents, why should the imperial brother suffer without talents? At that time, the imperial brother was only able to employ people, such as Wei Xiang, E Guogong and others, and the imperial brother was appointed regardless of his previous suspicions, and what happened afterwards all showed that the imperial brother had a unique vision, and this kind of courage was admirable. ”
Only then did Li Shimin realize that what Wang Haoran said was a little weird, how could Wang Haoran say these flattering words before? After thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin knew that Wang Haoran was inspiring him! He smiled, he was actually disciplined by this hairy boy! At the same time, Li Shimin's trance eyes gradually sharpened?
