Chapter 297: The Appearance of Officialdom
Ping Shimin sighed and said! "Isn't he a net hit, why is he back again?"
Shi Zhongchen hurriedly agreed, taking small steps. Ran out of the hall and went to Xuanchang Sun Wuji and Li
Finish.
Li Shimin only thought about it for a while, and then he understood. Ke'er stole the limelight from Zhi'er, and her uncle naturally helped her nephew, but she couldn't stay anymore, so she dragged Zhi'er to theorize! Alas, what is there to theorize. Who should be hurt, who should not be hurt, will there be no sense of proportion in the heart!
The eldest grandson Wuji dragged Li Zhi into the main hall. After saluting Li Shimin, he said: "Your Majesty, just now the old minister went to the East Palace and saw that the prince was sighing. The old minister asked him why he sighed, and he actually said that he wanted to participate in the dialectics of Shikeng Village, wanted to serve the imperial court, and shared the worries of the emperor, and he could distinguish the smallpox matter. What a dangerous thing it was, the old minister naturally wouldn't agree, but no matter how he persuaded him, he refused to listen, so he had to bring him to see the emperor. Your Majesty, you persuade the prince, don't let him put himself in danger! ”
Li Shimin was taken aback, sat up straight from the bed, and asked, "Zhi'er, how can you have such an idea?" ”
Li Zhi had a bitter face and thought: "Wherever I have ideas, they are all my uncle's ideas, and they have nothing to do with me!" He said: "Erchen, Erchen wants to share the worries of his father, and he also wants to get the people out of smallpox as soon as possible." That's why I want to participate in the dialectic! ”
Li Shimin's face was cloudy, he didn't say anything, and in a hurry, he didn't think of what to say!
The eldest grandson Wuji said sadly: "Prince, the good prince of the old minister." You have a filial piety to the emperor and want to share state affairs for the emperor, which is good.
You care about the common people and care for the people, which is also good, but you can't personally get into danger, to distinguish smallpox, what a dangerous thing this is, how can you let you go, if you have three long and two short, how sad the emperor will be. Who will take care of the people of the world? ”
He was so anxious that he stomped his feet, with an expression of the prince, you love the Tang Dynasty too much, love your father too much, but don't love yourself too much, as if Li Zhi is a good prince who sacrifices himself!
Li Shimin understood as soon as he heard it, in order to overshadow Li Ke, this is to grab credit, lest others gossip, the prince's gossip must not be said, it is really good to say!
glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin thought to himself: "Mowgli, Mowgli, this kid has bothered you." I'm afraid he can't do without your support in his life! ”
Dialectics on how to prevent smallpox, the matter is over. But the news was not spread, and unlike usual, Li Ke did not let the people who reported the news shout along the street in order to keep the "exclusive news". He did this to please his father by himself.
But he forgot the important point: if you don't give the credit to others, then you will never be rewarded, no matter how great the credit is!
Isn't Li Ke playing exclusive news, it's okay if it's not exclusive, but an exclusive is not only not good for him. failed to let the people know that the news came from him, but gave others a chance to play tricks! Pleasing your father? He can't even get a little scum of pleasure!
Li Shimin hummed and said nonsense with his dragon eyes open. He actually followed the words of the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "Yes, how dangerous it is to distinguish the smallpox matter, and now is at the most critical juncture, Li Ji and Wang Ping'an have encountered unprecedented difficulties, there is no way to solve them, now is the most critical moment, and it is also the most dangerous moment!" Zhi'er, do you really want to go? ”
Li Zhi thought to himself: "Can I not go?" I really don't want to go! He nodded solemnly. His hands were clenched into fists, and he said loudly: "Father, the son has made up his mind that he must go, and the matter of smallpox has reached the most critical moment." Without the help of Erchen, Li Ji and Wang Ping'an would not have been able to complete the dialectic, so Erchen must go and personally do a good job of dialectic, so that the people of the world will solve the suffering of smallpox forever! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was overjoyed and thought: "Good boy, that's right, you should say this, you finally know how to be a good prince!" Whether you are a prince or an emperor in the future. Keep in mind that all the credit is yours, and you have to be clear about that. Only then can the people love you, and your throne will be secure! ”
Far away, Shi Zhongchen, who was standing under the pillar, thought to himself: "The thicker the skin, the bigger the official." The eldest grandson Lao'er's face is thicker than mine, so his official is bigger than mine, in fact, my face is not thin, but let me teach the prince to say such a thing, I really can't teach it!" ”
The dialectic is over, and everyone in the palace knows that there is no danger, but no one pretends not to know. It has to be said that it is not over, and you want others to believe it. You have to be convinced of it yourself!
Li Shimin sighed, and said after a long time: "Loyal ministers, pass the decree, convene hundreds of civil and military officials, and discuss the Taiji Palace!" ”
Shi Zhongchen sighed and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to hold a court meeting?" ”
"Exactly, go and pass the decree, don't delay!" Li Shimin said.
Shi Zhongchen hurriedly said: "Yes, the old slave will go to deliver the decree!" He glanced at Li Zhi, who was full of "resolute" faces, and then looked at him who was so moved. The eldest grandson Wuji, who is about to cry. I thought to myself: "A good prince who knows what shame is, has been taught bad by you!" ”
trotted out of the Manna Palace, Shi Zhongchen gave an order to the little eunuchs to go out immediately. Gather the ministers, go to the Taiji Palace, and hold a great court meeting!
The ministers in the various yamen were surprised when they learned that the emperor was going to hold a court meeting, but Li Shimin had long since stopped handling government affairs in the Taiji Palace, and the Taiji Hall was only used during the New Year's holidays. Usually the court meetings are held in the Manna Temple. Today, the sudden opening of the court meeting, is it possible to get out of a big event?
Wouldn't it be to conquer Goguryeo again, or to start a war with the Turks?
The ministers are in a hurry, if it is not such a major matter, why do they want to go to the Taiji Palace? After receiving the news, the ministers immediately ran out of their yamen. rushed to the palace, and those ministers who were not qualified to participate in the court meeting were also shocked, what is the matter, is it possible that something big has happened to the country? I don't have the heart to work anymore, I guess randomly, and I get together in a bunch of good relationships, and there are many discussions!
Who would dare to neglect such a big thing? Although there were many ministers, they had all entered the palace and came to the Taiji Hall in a short time. saw that Li Shimin was already waiting in the palace, and the crown prince Li Zhi and the eldest grandson Wuji also came, and everyone had a solemn expression.
The ministers were even more shocked in their hearts, what had happened, it seemed that it was definitely not a good thing! They did not yet know the dialectical smallpox, and the final result was already known. This is all thanks to Li Ke, if it weren't for him. At this time, I am afraid that it has spread all over Chang'an, and everyone knows it!
The ministers entered the heart of the main hall and "ordered the emperor to ask for gifts, and then divided the train into two trains and quietly watched the emperor."
Seeing that the courtiers had arrived, they were silent for a long time. Li Shimin said: "All Aiqing, the latest news has come from Shikeng Village, how to prevent smallpox can not be carried out!" "Say it. He sighed.
The emperor didn't lie, and the dialectic really couldn't go on, because it was already over!
The ministers in the palace were all surprised, and they couldn't continue to argue? It's nothing, it's best to prevent it, but if you can't prevent it, there's no way to do it. I can only accept my fate!
But the key is that Shikeng Village is only a hundred miles away from Chang'an, in case smallpox comes out from there and infects the people nearby, wouldn't it be too bad, the plague runs faster than horses, and it is easy to harm Chang'an!
A minister stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be taken lightly, and people should be sent over immediately, and the villages should be burned, and the forests should be burned." Even if the dialectic fails, smallpox must not be allowed to spread! ”
The ministers nodded one after another, everyone thought so, and persuaded Li Shimin to make a decision, this kind of thing. But there is no delay!
Li Shimin sighed and said, "But the matter of smallpox is related to the people of the world. Despite the difficulties, the United still hopes that this dialectic can continue.
The eldest grandson Wuji left the court and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although manpower can go against the sky, when he acts, he will eventually encounter the reproach of God. If you want to solve the difficulties of Shikeng Village, you should go to the Son of Heaven to solve this difficulty! ”
The ministers laughed together, no wonder they wanted to hold a court meeting in the Taiji Palace, it turned out that it was because of this, could it be that the emperor decided to go to Shikeng Village in person?
That's not going to work!
The ministers all knelt down for Li Shimin. They screamed in a mess, saying everything, but the meaning was the same, the emperor was the king of a country, but he must not take this risk. Smallpox is a serious disease. People only have one time in their lives, but in case of accidents, the emperor is the son of heaven, unlike the people, the common people have to have one, the emperor has to have two,,
In the midst of the noise, Li Zhi strode to the center of the main hall, lifted the corner of his robe, and knelt down for Li Shimin. Lang Sheng said: "Father, the son is willing to go to Shikeng Village on your behalf. Go to see Li Ji and Wang Ping'an. The dialectic will be carried out again, sharing the worries of the father and the emperor, and "benefiting the people!" for the people! ”
Although the scene was chaotic, his voice was so loud that it drowned out the noise of all the ministers. The ministers looked at Li Zhi together. I thought in my heart: "Why did the gentle prince suddenly have manliness and take the initiative to take the risk?" I've known him for more than 20 years, and I've never seen him like this! ”
The people who can participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting are not all characters on the Lingyan Pavilion, most of them rely on their ability and rise up later. Being able to stand here means that their brains are so good that they are absolutely confused!
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that the dialectical must be over, and the final result must be reached, and the final result is a success, ten out of ten without deviation!
Blink your eyelids, and the ministers will all understand, none of them are still "confused", and they all know what to do next!
With a bang, the ministers shouted together: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you must not, you are the body of golden branches and jade leaves, how can you take risks, how can you guide smallpox dialectic, this is too dangerous!" ”
Some ministers simply knelt down for Li Zhi. shouted: "Prince, you are for the emperor and the country." For the sake of the court, for the common people in the world, I have paid too much! As courtiers, we can't share your worries and sorrows, it's really a dereliction of duty! ”
Some were even more exaggerated, shouting: "His Royal Highness the Prince." Listen to the advice of the old minister, you must not go! Let the old minister take risks for you! If you want to die, let the old minister die! ”
Several ministers suddenly burst into tears, trying to dissuade Li Zhi, as if Li Zhi did not listen to their persuasion, "Of course Li Zhi will be fine." But they were about to weep and die!
Suddenly, a middle-aged minister shouted: "I can't share the worries of the emperor and the prince, it's all the fault of the minister, and it has nothing to do with others, and the minister is willing to apologize with death!" As he spoke, he rushed to the pillars in the main hall and rushed over!
It's just that he is slower to run. Before his head hit the pillar, he was grabbed by a group of ministers. The ministers shouted, "No. It's not your fault. It's my fault, it's all my fault! ”
"You are all wrong, and the reason why you are wrong is that you are not wrong, and I am wrong!" Another minister cried out.
In the past, once it was said that they would take responsibility, all these ministers shrank back, but now they are all taking it on themselves, saying that others are not wrong, there is no responsibility, and it is all their own responsibility!
Above the main hall, crying, shouting, noisy, pulling and pulling, all in a mess, like a vegetable market!
Li Shimin was silent, and Li Zhi was dumbfounded. The eldest grandson Wuji tilted his head and watched the performances of the ministers, and a few old ministers, who were old and no longer needed to be promoted to official wealth by sycophancy, looked up at the beams of the main hall, and didn't say anything, and they didn't have anything to say!
Shi Zhongchen looked at the chaotic hall and sighed in his heart, the best singing and dancing girl in the world can't perform this good show, but the best drama in the world. It's not in the dance hall, it's in this court!
He thought to himself: "It is said that in the era of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the law was not strict, and some ministers went to the palace when they were drunk, and when the monarchs and ministers were deliberating, they were happy. He would pull out his sword and cut the pillar, so much so that Liu Bang had to order the rectification of the dynasty. I never believed it before, what a solemn place the court is, how can there be courtiers so presumptuous, but now I believe it! Although the court hall and the palace can pretend to be people in the world, they can play all kinds of beings in the world! ”
Li Shimin looked at the ministers desperately expressing their loyalty, and thought: "The ministers of the United Nations are not as good as those of the former Sui. How much shame you have! He waved his hand and said, "The joint decision has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it again." The prince will go to Shikeng Village on behalf of the prince to carry out the smallpox differentiation to the end! ”
The ministers were still about to "persuade", but when they saw Li Shimin waving their hands, they hurriedly stopped crying and shouted together that the emperor was wise!
Li Shimin ordered to open the Chengtian Gate, and he personally took Li Zhi out of the Chengtian Gate, and asked Li Zhi to go to Nashikeng Village through Zhuque Street!
The forbidden army was busy and prepared for driving. Escorted Li Shimin and Li Zhi and came out of Chengtianmen. And the civil and military officials followed. The flags were displayed, the embroidered ribbons were fluttering, so that all the people outside knew about it, and they ran out to see the excitement!
