Chapter 479: The Confused Monarch
Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news ahead."
Eight hundred miles rushed in from the west gate of Chang'an, and after a while, it was already sent to the palace, and then some palace people shouted all the way to the Taiji Palace.
A great court meeting is being held in the Taiji Hall to discuss the candidate for the princess and the princess, some of the people are watching coldly, neutrally silent, and the rest are the group of people who support the princess.
The whole court was happy with this group of people, but at this time it was divided into two factions, one group suggested that the princess should be selected from the emperor's daughter, that is, Li Shimin would marry his own daughter, and the other faction would be more able to figure out the holy will, and proposed to choose one from the clan daughter to give the princess the title and pro-Tubo.
"Wen Yanbo, you old horseman, you actually want to push Lao Tzu's daughter into the fire pit, Lao Tzu and you are incompatible." Li Xiaogong squinted slightly, revealing a cold light in his eyes, and a faint hatred sounded.
When Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, who was standing next to Li Xiaogong, heard this, his lips opened slightly, and he also whispered: "My brother also has this intention, don't forget to call me when my cousin rectifies him."
Li Xiaogong's body didn't move, and his head lowered a little more, which meant that he agreed.
The two most powerful vassal kings in the Li Tang royal family could only collude secretly, and they couldn't say anything on the surface. Because Wen Yanbo proposed to marry the daughter of the clan to Tubo, there were two daughters among them.
Whether they oppose it or agree with it, they can't get any benefits, and if they agree with others, they will definitely scold them for selling their daughters for glory if they don't say it, and if they oppose it, it is likely to anger the emperor, because it is clear that the emperor is very tempted by this proposal, if they oppose it, doesn't it mean that they are reluctant to marry their daughter to Tibet, and they want the emperor to marry their daughter?
Of course, this is the reason, there is no one who replaces his own daughter with someone else's daughter to pick up the fire pit, but who made Li Shimin the emperor and they are just vassal kings.
They only have to obey whatever decision the emperor makes, and they have no choice but to point the finger at Wen Yanbo, the culprit who made the suggestion.
But just when Wen Yanbo's faction representing Wen Yanbo chose the daughter of the sect to go to peace and relatives had the upper hand, and Li Shimin was about to make a decision, the inner servant rushed in panting with good news.
For the inconvenience of the inner servants, neither the minister nor Li Shimin felt strange, because as long as the good news came, it had to be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible.
It's just that for the appearance of good news, both Li Shimin and the ministers are confused.
Good news?
Where's the good news?
Didn't you hear where there was another war?
"Read." Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Hou Junji, the general of the military department, Hou Junji, the general of the left leading army, the general of the marching army of Bailandao, the deputy general of the right leading army, the general of the right leading army, Niu Jinda, the general of the left Wuwei, the chief of the march of the broad water road, Hou Wu Yuanqing, the general of the military supervision, and Liu Lan, the general of the march of the right leading army of Taohedao, jointly reported the victory, and recently annihilated and captured more than 60,000 Tibetan soldiers in Gongbu Jiangda, and then the former capital of Tubo, Babuchuan, also fell into the hands of our army......."
As the chamberlain who read out the good news read out the content of the good news, the hall was silent and stunned.
What's the situation, didn't you make peace with Tubo, and they all began to discuss which noble girl to marry, why did the front line suddenly start a war with Tubo again? What are you doing?
"Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Hou Junji, Niu Jinda, Cheng Biting Jin, Liu Lan and others for disobeying the decree, attacking Tubo, and influencing the great plan of peace and proximity."
"The minister seconded the motion."
.............
Boom, now some ministers who agree with the marriage are not divided into the faction of marrying the princess or marrying the daughter of the clan, and they all stand up to impeach Hou Junji and their governors.
Li Shimin's face was also blue and purple when he heard this, the finger bones pinched by his hands and fists turned white, and his eyes showed a fierce light.
Needless to say, the emperor was furious. Failure to comply with the order, or disobedience to the order before the army, this thing is a big taboo, no matter how much the emperor believes in the person who leads the army, it is impossible to deal with it indifferently.
Many officials who were silent before also stood up for impeachment, and Li Shimin was ready to break out with a cold face.
At this time, the chamberlain put away the good news and spoke again: "Your Majesty, there are also the records of the proclamation of the province and the excerpts presented by several chief managers and martial arts marquis."
The panting chamberlain, the emperor and the ministers played half to death, if there was only the previous good news, then the emperor would definitely send someone to the army to take down a few directors of the resistance without saying a word, but now that there are excerpts to send, then we must see what the excerpts say before making a decision.
The excerpt is for the emperor to see, but at this time, in front of so many ministers in the main hall, Li Shimin is too lazy to look at it, anyway, everyone is waiting to hear how the few managers in front of him defend themselves, so just read it out and let everyone listen to it.
The first reading of the chamberlain is to go to the official to announce the official sent back the fold, the content of the excerpt is very simple, that is, Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to the front of the army to declare the decree, but the four commanders of the army pulled out, failed to catch up, and when the minister caught up, several governors had already occupied one of the four Ru of Tubo Gongbu Jiangda, and at the same time the former capital of Tubo Babuchuan, and then Tubo is now counterattacking, the will to talk about the peace and the truce can not be conveyed at all, and the same Tubo envoys returned to the Tubo military camp after no news.
After reading the excerpt, the officials who were clamoring to impeach Hou Junji also shut up, and impeached a ball, the holy decree was not delivered when the people sent troops, when to send troops, where to attack, the head of the family has the right to decide for himself, it is reasonable, there is no reason for impeachment.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Hou Junji and others for using swords and soldiers in vain to influence and pro-family plans."
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Hou Junji and others for deliberately intensifying the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, in order to achieve the goal of leading the troops for a long time."
..................
Wen Yanbo and others have already died down with interest, but there are always some uninteresting, officials who want to play political speculation want to take the lead, no, a few new little imperial historians of the Yushitai jumped out and wanted to show their faces and add something to their resumes.
At least when everyone is silent, they dare to impeach, they can always give others a feeling of not being afraid of power, maybe they can enter the eyes of Shangguan or even the emperor, and then they may be able to rise to prominence.
However, the emperor only glanced at them coldly a few times, and then looked at the inner servant again, waiting for the inner servant to read the excerpt of Hou Junji and the others.
The other ministers watched a few people who wanted to speculate awkwardly retreat back to the court, and they all sneered at them.
The content of the excerpts of Hou Junji and others is basically the same meaning, but what is written in the excerpts of Wu Yuanqing is very different from them. made the emperor's face black when he heard it, and the ministers listened to it and some secretly applauded in their hearts, and some scolded their mothers violently.
