================
The prime ministers and important ministers finally met Li Zhi.
The first to speak was Li Jingxuan, who has served as prime minister for many years, and few people really understand what his character is, but he usually attaches great importance to his reputation, whether he is a hypocrite or a true gentleman, at least on the surface, he loves himself and feathers. Therefore, the royal family and the Li family in Longxi were not allowed to enter the bloodline, and Li Jingxuan's family was merged into Longxi Li Degong. It is also related to the reputation of his personal name.
If it weren't for the prince to open this matter, he could also pretend to be deaf and dumb, it was originally a matter of the inner palace, and it had little to do with the outside. But the prince got into trouble and fell into such a fate, and Zaisuke was also derelict in his duties, so he felt pressure. Not only that, if the matter is not resolved fairly, one can imagine how the old horseman, who is more loyal to the prince, will come back and mock himself.
I have to say it.
Said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a discussion. ”
"Speaking of which," Li Zhi said with a frown. The illness was slightly better, and he was forcibly called by these prime ministers, knowing that there was no good advice. But the son's hand is too ruthless, that is, these prime ministers do not admonish, and they are already in a dilemma.
"Your Majesty, immediately issue an edict to ask Your Highness to stop the construction of the two canals."
"Why did Li Qing say this, I never said."
"Your Majesty didn't say it, but the more the prince's two canals are completed, the greater the merit and the greater the reputation. This is the luck of the country, the blessing of the people, if the ancestor Taizong has knowledge under the nine springs, he must also smile and look at it. However, His Majesty's jealousy grew. ”
Anyway, the prince has already indirectly made his words clear, and he no longer simply said together, Pei Xingjian and the others all bowed their heads and wanted to laugh. Li Jingxuan said again: "Your Majesty is always the king, and His Royal Highness is always the prince." The fight is not to fight for His Majesty, the heavier the jealousy, the more it will be taken by the villain, and the minister guesses that His Royal Highness will suffer soon enough. The only way to do this is that the new canal must be stopped, the Jiangshan Sheji is just a trivial matter, Your Majesty is sick, and it is not a heroic and heroic Majesty in the early years, and the prince will not be able to make meritorious contributions as soon as the canal is stopped. Then there are two strategies, His Majesty wants the prince to have a comprehensive life, tune the singer of the Western Regions to play the pipa and piano for the prince all day long, the singers and dancers of the inner and outer teaching workshops dance the beautiful sound of Nan Chen, the South China Sea coral night pearl hangs in the palace of the East Palace, the Kunlun beautiful jade hangs the prince's bedroom, and entertains the prince's ears and eyes. Then from Liaodong to take the meat of the flying dragon with a fast ride, the East China Sea servants catch sea cucumber shark fin, dedicated to the East Palace, the fast horse carries the fresh lily of southern Fujian, and the tiger Ben rushes into Gaochang Luofeng to entertain the mouth and tongue of the prince. Then from the beauty pageant of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, adjust the color of Xizi, Jing Chu dial the show, choose the beautiful woman of Zhaojun, or Hedong and Hebei, or the Western Regions or Persia, provoke the beauties of all ethnic groups, and enter the East Palace to entertain the prince's body and mind. Let the prince be confused and forget what he did, the only way to protect the prince's life is also. Otherwise, as soon as the prince goes, it is unlikely that the two canals will be repaired, so it is better to transfer the remaining money from the East Palace and make a palace called Luntai Palace. Then His Majesty ascended on it, saying, there is a priest in front of him, and if he wants to benefit the people and give thirty helps, he is very poor, old, weak and lonely...... Foolish to the times, deceived by the priests. Is there an immortal in the world, full of demons! Dieting and taking medicine can only be less sick. ”
The memory is very good, and he wrote down Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Luntai Guilty Edict" word for word.
Then he said to the two Shi Chen, who recorded the conversation between the emperor and the ministers: "Please record this conversation between me and Your Majesty today and keep it for eternity." ”
Can this be kept?
But this was originally Shi Chen's duty, and Li Shimin took the initiative to let the historian record his killing of his brother and brother, and it was just a piece of advice! Shi Chen began to brush and make records, and Li Zhi sweated slightly on his forehead.
After Li Jingxuan finished speaking, the second person came on the stage, and Li Yiyan, who was upright by nature, also began to speak, saying, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a discussion." Princess Zhou is just a ***, and she can't be a few years older than the little princess. The little princess is still coquettish in the arms of His Majesty's Queen of Heaven and the Crown Prince, and Princess Zhou can understand a little bit of reason. He was starved to death just because he didn't return the favor. Zhou Guogong is like this, why use a false name to fake? If His Majesty issued an edict, let the king of Zhou be demoted to the Duke of Zhou, and let the Duke of Zhou be promoted to the king of Zhou. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
"What Li Shilang said is reasonable," several bigwigs immediately agreed.
Li Zhi: "......"
"Also, when Taizong chose His Majesty as the crown prince, it was His Majesty's benevolence. Even King Jing, King Wu, Princess Gaoyang and others rebelled and were beheaded, and His Majesty cried bitterly. Therefore, the minister has a discussion, in the past, Princess Changle was favored by His Majesty, and often praised it, but now she is only exiled from Beijing because of false accusations. He will have a good disaster in the future, and he will end up with a tragic death like Princess Zhou, if His Majesty issues an edict to behead them, it will come happily, in the name of His Majesty's benevolence. ”
“……”
This sentence, in the end, even Shi Chen couldn't remember, but he couldn't help but turn his back and want to laugh. After Li Yiyan finished speaking, Hao Chujun continued: "Your Majesty, in order to punish the tyrannical monarch for endangering the society, the prince was sent to the East Palace when he was a few years old, and he invited the great Confucians of the world to teach. The prince grew up, treated people with things, and was polite. From the subjects to the people, they all praise each other. This is also His Majesty's original intention, and it lives up to His Majesty's expectations. However, His Majesty gave an order, and immediately went to the barren land in the southwest to defeat the rebel tribes in the southwest and the Tubo coalition army. When he returned to the court, His Majesty fell ill and dug two canals for His Majesty, without spending state finances, and personally traveled lightly, traveling thousands of miles. With the prestige of the prince, it is enough to open a mansion. However, the crown prince did not, not only that, but even several close ministers have not been reused because of His Majesty, and even the ministers who have a relationship with the prince have not been reused. However, the crown prince retired and entered the East Palace, just to study, and did not socialize with the ministers, in order to avoid suspicion. Advancing and retreating like this, why is Your Majesty always suspicious? Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, but too much, so easy to say, the middle of the day is the sun, the moon is eclipsed. Lao Tzu is cloudy, holding on to it, not as good as himself, and sharpening it, not for a long time. Your Majesty, please think again. ”
Among the three, Hao Chujun's advice is the most peaceful, which is a long-term thought. No matter what Li Jingxuan or Li Yiyan says, His Majesty may not be able to listen to it. Maybe now Your Majesty is forced to listen to it, but in fact, you can see clearly that Your Majesty is jealous and refuses to let go of power. If His Majesty is willing to delegate power, there will be no such contradictions. Even if the queen is wise and has the right to let the prince seize it, she is helpless.
He also said: "And the Book of Rites has repeatedly said that respect the old and love the young. Filial piety is not only a top-to-top relationship, but also a top-to-bottom relationship, as a prince, not only to His Majesty the Queen of Heaven, but also to care for brothers. In the past, Taizong talked to the king of Wei and said that if he killed his son, he would not be able to establish His Majesty by the king of Wei, which was also for this reason. If you don't even love your son, how can you love your brother? If you don't even love your brother, how can you love Your Majesty? Princess Zhou's execution was originally done by the Queen of Heaven in charge of the inner palace, and it had nothing to do with the ministers, and it was not big. But the Queen of Heaven is not another queen, and His Majesty has handed over political affairs to the Queen of Heaven many times because of illness. This year, there is another bachelor from the north gate, and then it will be divided into state affairs. Merits and demerits aside, and the right and wrong ministers cannot be known. But if you don't have a fair heart to deal with the inner palace, how to deal with foreign affairs? The crown prince is angry for Princess Zhou, it is reasonable, one is brotherhood, the other is the system of the country, today Princess Zhou died tragically due to her mistakes, and tomorrow the princes may also follow in her footsteps, and besides, King Zhou is humiliated by his relatives, which is not a good thing after all. If Your Majesty is bent on thinking about a hundred years later, thinking that the country will have the disaster of the Lu family, the ministers will not talk about it. The minister also asked His Majesty to think again. ”
“……”
"The ministers also know that His Majesty has doubts in his heart, although there have been cases of rebelling against the son and killing the father and killing the king in ancient and modern times, but in the end there are very few. It is rumored that Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded to the throne, but the truth is unknown. It is a historical fact that Liu Shao killed Emperor Wen in the Southern Dynasty. But the prince even cares so much for his brothers, could it be the likes of Yangguang and Liu Shao? This year, His Majesty has all kinds of opportunities, and the opportunities are unfathomable, and the ministers and others have no way to admonish them. However, there was a lot of discussion among the people, and the villains rolled up their sleeves to watch, waiting for the big change to come. The ministers were very afraid, after a hundred years of Your Majesty, there would be countless changes in the country. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can look through the history books, and there are many histories that are quite similar to what Your Majesty did today......"
It's hard to say the next sentence, unless you don't want the surname Li to be the emperor, and let your wife and relatives rule the Tang Dynasty.
“……”
After a long time, Li Zhi replied: "It's not what you Aiqing said. This incident was caused by the inner servant's misunderstanding of the queen's will and misconduct. It is rare for the country to be peaceful in a few years, why should you be like my son, and have nothing to do. ”
There was no answer, so I had to shirk the responsibility.
When Zhang Wenqian heard this, he said: "If this is the case, why did the minister hear that those inner servants are actually safe. The minister didn't know where Princess Zhou was confined in the Inner Servant Province, but the Inner Servant Province was not like other places in the palace, there were many inner servants living in it, and there were many noisy places, no matter every corner, there were inner servants walking around. Why did a big living person starve to death, and no one noticed the retribution? Although the minister is not talented, it is fair to hold the law, and he dares to say that he has never implicated the innocent in handling the case, and Dali Temple can also have jurisdiction over the inner palace case, Your Majesty, please allow the minister to solve this case. ”
In less than 10 days after he took charge of Dali Temple, he dealt with more than 400 backlog cases, so that many unjust cases were rehabilitated. Not yet, in the future, it will be changed to a servant, and the prisoners in the prisons under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple heard that he was reappointed, and they all cried loudly and grieved. The prisoners who were convicted by him actually had some deep feelings for the person who presided over the trial, which can be said to be a rare miracle in the world. can do this, I am afraid that only the later generations of Bao Zheng can compare, Di Renjie's ability to handle cases is equal, and there are many inferiors.
With Zhang Wenjun presiding over this case, there is no second comparable candidate in the world, but can this case be tried?
Li Zhi's mouth opened, but he couldn't answer.
But it can't be said that he is a faint monarch, even at this time, as an emperor, it is not bad, at least he can listen to it, and ordinary emperors still can't do it. It's just that he was sick, he lost his ability to judge, and he didn't pay attention to the court for a long time, so he asked his wife to talk about it, and he felt reasonable, so he obeyed his wife's arrangement. Now several prime ministers have persuaded them, and they also feel justified, so they resent their wives.
In fact, after Li Wei publicized the matter, he thought about it carefully, and also felt that the legitimate daughter-in-law who starved to death did a bad job. It's not the king and the queen, either you kill me, or I kill you, I really don't know the fate of the king and queen? I know, but there is no way to reconcile, since I killed and killed, I followed my wife's heart.
Now he is doing it to his daughter-in-law, not an enemy of life and death, and he is somewhat dissatisfied.
and his wife kept those bastard eunuchs, which also made him dissatisfied, if they were all executed, and then the daughter of Princess Changle would be reburied in a beautiful manner, and the matter would be over. Thinking like this, he said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will deal with this matter. ”
Since the emperor promised to ask, the prime ministers could not say any more, so they had to wait and see how the emperor handled the case.
