Chapter 435: The Tang Dynasty Delegation
Mercedes-Benz Says! Later, the court was silent, and the crows and birds were dan"
Li Shimin did not squeak. He has already had an idea in his heart, he is different from Li Zhi, he is emotional, and he trusts those close to him unconditionally!
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't speak, he already knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for the emperor to really crown Wang Ping'an as a duke, even if he wanted to seal it, it was impossible to seal it with the current credit, and he had to squeeze Wang Ping'an out of it like oil. In order to make the prince and the prince, become the prince!
The ministers have their own ideas, Wang Ping'an is a good person, and he has never offended anyone, except for Xu Jingzong. Therefore, no one in the court will go out of their way to embarrass Wang Ping'an, but a little fart child, a little boy who has not even grown up completely. Just want to be a grandfather? This is also too enviable!
Envy, jealousy, hate! It's like a step, one after the other, and the ministers are now only envious and a little jealous. I can't talk about hate!
But there are also people who don't care, like Wei Chigong and Li Ji. They are all founding fathers and dukes, they belong to the founding dukes, Wang Ping'an's title in this life, no matter what, he can't be crowned as the founding duke, how many years ago he opened the country, the merits of this generation have long been established, no matter how Wang Ping'an can jump, he can't jump on their heads. Therefore, Wei Chigong and others were in favor of Wang Ping'an being crowned duke.
However, now looking at the emperor's horror and recommending Wang Ping'an, Li Zhi said okay, they "better be crows for a while, don't be in a hurry to speak out!"
As soon as Li Shimin waved his hand, Jin Sanyou hurriedly kowtowed and withdrew from the hall.
After a moment of silence, Li Shimin said: "What did the prince say, what do you think?" ”
Ministers, look at me, I look at you, no one should be the first bird, no one will squeak first. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Zhi and thought, "If you have a problem with your father, you can't stop for a while!" ”
The sweat on Li Zhi's forehead also came out, why didn't everyone speak, did I recommend it wrong?
Chu Suiliang stabbed Ma Zhou and whispered: "That's your student!" "What he means is that Wang Ping'an is your student, and you still have to treat him if he has made meritorious contributions, and now that the student is in difficulty with being knighted, you can't help say a few good words!
Ma Zhou misunderstood, he never regarded Wang Ping'an as his real student, but he was the prince's master who was fake, Li Zhi was his student, he thought Chu Suiliang was talking about Li Zhi! The prince stood in front awkwardly, he, as a teacher, should find a step and let the prince come down!
Ma Zhou has eaten more salt than Li Zhi has eaten. How could he not understand the truth of the emperor's intentions, he couldn't make the emperor embarrassed, he couldn't reward his merits now, but he had to let the prince have a step down, this would be a headache!
With a cough, Ma Zhou got out of work, stood behind Li Zhi, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks." This time to quell the troubles of the Turks fleeing westward, there is something strange, Wang Ping'an, with his own strength, how can he make more than 100,000 Turks submit? This doesn't make sense! ”
Li Zhi glanced back at Shi Bo and thought, "People are not sick and still teach you eye exercises, and they also treat your neck pain." That's how you repay people! ”
Ma Zhou didn't look at Li Zhi, and continued: "The sage Wei Zheng once said, if you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you believe it, you will be dark. The emperor thought so, and our ministers took this as the principle of governing the world, and never dared to listen to one-sided words. ”
The ministers, Wei Zheng said such a thing, and the emperor strongly agreed, this is a fact. However, judging from what Ma Zhou said, it is to suppress Wang Ping'an, and now it depends on whether the emperor nods. Nodding, everyone helped Wang Ping'an coax, shook his head, and everyone helped Ma Zhouqi
Finish!
The emperor's face was expressionless, and after a while, his chin nodded. said: "Yes, Wei Zheng is indeed a virtuous minister!" ”
When the ministers heard this, they understood, and they all knew very well how they should coax!
Ma Zhou continued: "And now, people who enter Beijing praise the king for his safety, which is afraid that this is inconsistent with the actual situation. Wang Ping'an is a student of Lao Chen, the student's character, the clearest teacher,
Chu Suiliang muttered in a very low voice: "Before the court meeting, you still refused to say that Wang Ping'an was your student, what do you know about him!" ”
Ma Zhou said: "Wang Ping'an's temperament is gentle, and he is by no means a general's talent, so the old minister thinks that there must be another hidden reason to quell the troubles of the Turks fleeing westward this time, and it seems inappropriate to reward him at this time, so it is better to wait for Wang Ping'an to return to Beijing and then make a decision!" ”
Chu Suiliang couldn't bear it anymore, he owed Wang Ping'an a lot of favors, if he didn't stand up and speak at this time, he would feel guilty when he saw Wang Ping'an in the future.
Out of class, Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's inappropriate, even if Wang returns to Beijing safely, it's still these words, if he wants to state the battle situation himself, with his person, he will definitely shirk and give the credit to others, in this way, isn't the meritorious not rewarded, but the unmeritorious are punished!" ”
Wei Chigong, Li Ji and others also know that even if they stand up and speak, they can't change anything, but their attitude must be expressed, otherwise I'm sorry for Wang Ping'an, and I have no shame to face this good boy! They also went out of class and seconded Chu Suiliang's words.
Among the ministers, the household officials also came out one after another, as well as the officials of Dali Temple, who were hard-headed. also stood up and whispered to echo Chu Suiliang! They are considered to be an interest group with Wang Ping'an, and they can't help but express their position!
Fortunately, the doctors of the Tai Hospital have a small official position. is not qualified to go to the court, otherwise they can go to the court, they have to stand up together and support Wang Ping'an!
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and did not speak. Instead, he looked at the eldest grandson, Wuji.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed in his heart: "No disease, it's not that I'm sorry for you, if you are pressed." Wouldn't it be so much trouble? Alas, what is done today will be compensated to you later! ”
He went out of the court and said, "Your Majesty." What Chu Suiliang and his colleagues said is extremely true and reasonable. But the old minister thought that this matter was important and should not be hastily decided. It's better to wait for Xu Jingzong's recital to be sent to the capital, and then it's not too late to make a decision! ”
Chu Suiliang said: "But Xu Jingzong didn't send the chapter back for a while, and it was rumored that he was taken captive by the Turks, and he lost his country, this kind of person." How can I use it as a credential? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Rumors, after all, are rumors. It has not been confirmed, what if Xu Jingzong was not taken captive? After a while, he will have a piece of music to send back, and he will mention it, which can be used as proof! ”
Wei Chigong spoke and said, "Then what if Xu Jingzong is really taken captive?" Which tribe was taken captive? Could it be that Wang Ping'an was ordered to find out and then rescue him? If this is really the case, what will Xu Jingzong say about Wang Ping'an? Isn't it still a biased belief that is dark? ”
This time, even Li Zhi spoke. said: "Yes, Erchen is stunned, Xu Jingzong can't be a witness!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was restless in his heart, what are these people tired of,... Second Wang Ping'an's favor, don't I owe the fork not really embarrassed him, just drag it out, Wang Ping'an is not a duke sooner or later, how old is he, what is the hurry! The more anxious he is now, the more unhappy the emperor is, and the more he presses it. Are you doing this for the king's peace, something without a head, a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!
Li Shimin hummed and said, "Since it is a court meeting, let's express our opinions and talk about our opinions!" ”
Those ministers who didn't speak hurriedly expressed their opinions, they didn't plan to do anything bad to Wang Ping'an, but if they wanted a little boy, they would rush to their heads, and they would not be very happy in their hearts, and besides, the emperor's meaning was obvious, why not follow the emperor's wishes. Everyone is taking the emperor's money, not the king's peace!
There were two factions above the court, and they began to discuss with each other. It's not very intense, but it's chaotic. But he couldn't make a decision at all, and in the end it depended on Li Shimin's intentions.
After discussing for a long time, nothing came out!
Li Shimin slapped the table. said: "The gentlemen are in Chang'an, how can they discuss things thousands of miles away.
Liankan, why don't you send someone to find out! Well, this Zhuo will be handed over, Fang Aiqing, you will deal with the matter at hand and go to Guanwai. First, to appease the newly converted Turks, and second, to investigate the origin of this matter. ”
The ministers in the court had a lot of discussions just now, and the only one who didn't speak and didn't express his position was Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling and Wang Ping'an were a little unhappy because of Princess Gaoyang's matter, this kind of thing can't be said explicitly, but everyone knows it, so Fang Xuanling is afraid that he will suppress Wang Ping'an, and he is even more afraid of going against the emperor's will, so he simply keeps his mouth shut and makes a fortune. Don't say anything, let them go as others like to talk about it, he plans to stay out of it!
But just because he didn't express his position, he gave people the feeling that he was called a messenger, and on the surface, it was quite fair!
Fang Xuanling's scalp was numb for a while, it was really unlucky, in the winter, let me go out and drink the northwest wind. And let me do things that offend people! What did I ask me to do, wasn't it just to suppress Wang Ping'an? But as soon as I suppress Wang Ping'an, I will offend a large number of people!
Stiffening his head, Fang Xuanling walked out and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
The ministers were relieved that there was no more trouble. As long as someone does it, then everything is fine, it's none of your business, hang it high!
Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since he wants to send people out of the customs, it is better to inspect the border states, Fang Xuanling is afraid that he will not be able to be busy, it is better to send a few more people, and they can echo and take care of each other!" ”
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Okay, then who will you send, does Chu Aiqing have anyone to recommend?" ”
Chu Suiliang turned back and looked at the ministers. The ministers glared at him together, don't push us. Beware of turning your face with you! Now the Turks are in the northwest direction, and the tongue outside the border is just the northwest wind, we don't want to drink it, you have to drink it yourself!
Chu Suiliang turned his head and said: "The old minister thinks that Cheng Zhijie is fair, but he is a general who knows the soldiers, and he can inspect the four sides!" ”
Cheng Zhijie was furious, surnamed Chu, believe it or not, I will burn your house!
He strode out of class and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to patrol the border." However, Lao Chen heard that Wang Wendu, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, had recently suffered from leg pain. searched for famous doctors in Beijing, but there was no cure, and he was deeply tortured by illness every day, and his suffering was unspeakable. The old minister thought that it was better to send Wang Wendu, he was proficient in military affairs. First, he can patrol the border, and second, he can find Wang Ping'an to treat his leg disease, killing two birds with one stone! ”
Without waiting for Li Shimin to agree, the ministers said together: "The minister seconded the proposal, Wang Wendu is familiar with the art of war, good at using soldiers, but I am a general of the Tang Dynasty, and I can patrol the border!" ”
The ministers were afraid that the emperor would not agree, and Cheng Zhijie and Chu Suiliang would recommend others and raise them on their heads, which would be unlucky, so it would be better to find a bad guy and push the disaster away!
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Then, send Wang Wendu to go!" ”
This Wang Wendu is one of the generals of Weifu, serving as Zuo Xiaowei, and Zuo Xiaowei has a general. There are two generals, he is one of the generals, from the military attache of the third rank, the rank is not low, and he has the qualifications to go to the court.
Today's court meeting, as long as you are qualified to go to the court, everyone who can come is here, but there is also one who can't come, and that is this Wang Wendu!
Wang Wendu suffered from a leg disease, his legs and feet were inconvenient, this disease was not like anything else, he couldn't stand up. Naturally, he couldn't come to the court, so he took sick leave.
It was because he was on sick leave that he couldn't shirk it, as long as the emperor nodded, he had to go if he didn't go, and he had to thank others for recommending him.
Everyone is for his good, let him find Wang Ping'an to see a doctor, the travel expenses are given by the public family as a public-funded travel, "Drink the northwest wind, look at the grassland snow, how poetic, good thing, no thanks!"
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and thought: "As soon as he goes home, he will tell me about it, will that kid in Gao Yang come to beg me, don't send his father-in-law out of the customs?" ”
While ordering Shi Zhongchen to draw up a decree, he said: "The sooner this matter is resolved, the better, but it is a matter of concern." After a pause, he said, "That is, to return to Beijing!" ”
Fang Xuanling had no choice but to wait for Shi Zhongchen to prepare the holy decree and withdraw from the hall.
Leaving Beijing immediately meant that he could not go home to say goodbye, and he had to go out of the city for thirty miles first. He sent his attendants home to report the news and ask his family to deliver some supplies on the road. He took a car, traveled thirty miles, found an inn to rest, and waited for Wang Wendu to catch up.
When it was evening, Fang Yiai came running. also brought all kinds of utensils needed on the road, not only he came, Chu Suiliang also came, Chu Suiliang came to comfort him, he must be an old friend, no matter what happened in the court, the relationship in private is still very good.
Fang Yiai asked, "Dad, why did the imperial court send you to Guanwai?" ”
Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Ask your Uncle Chu, let him tell you why?" ”
Chu Suiliang smiled: "There is a good saying. Why don't birds have meat to eat, your father is a good bird with meat, and today in the court, he doesn't care at all. As a result, the emperor showed it! ”
Fang Yiai said puzzledly: "Then what? The emperor has appeared, Daddy is not a bird, "What does it mean?" ”
Chu Suiliang said: "It means that birds with a lot of meat are often roasted first!" No, it should be said that it was frozen first! ”
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "You have this mouth." It's really damning. At this time, Chang'an is already freezing cold, and I think that the outside of the pass must not be frozen into ice? I'm out of the customs this time, and I'll come back after spring at the earliest, so it's all your fault! Chu Suiliang hurriedly comforted Fang Xuanling and asked Fang Xuanling not to be annoyed, and while he was talking, someone came to report that it was Zuo Xiaowei's general Wang Wendu who had arrived!
