17. Count as you count
The people in the area of Bingzhou pray for rain, always gather in the Jin Temple to worship the heaven and earth, not only to prepare the three animal sacrifices (a whole pig, a whole cow, a whole sheep) and a large number of fireworks and artillery, presided over by the most prestigious local ** division, and collectively kneel down and pray.
In addition, there is an old rule that has been unwritten for a long time, once a rain prayer ceremony is held, the military and political governor of the prefecture must come to the scene to pay tribute in person, so as to show his image of being close to the people and sharing weal and woe. The chief also paid attention to it, that is, he could not be as majestic as when he went out on weekdays, leading many relatives to hug the front and back, holding high the gold medal of avoidance, and ordering the officials to sound the gong in front to open the way, and beat the drum in the back to cheer, so as not to anger the rain god and cause the rain to fail.
Speaking of which, no matter how big your official is, what is it compared to the gods and bodhisattvas in the sky? How can I say that he is also an ordinary man, what qualifications do he have to shout and drink in front of the gods?
With all kinds of constraints on the military and political chiefs, Wang Wei and Gao Junya, in the name of praying for rain, ambushed people and horses near the Jin Temple in advance, and asked themselves to plan everything - Li Yuan did not bring soldiers and horses with him, no matter how high his martial arts were, or if he had three heads and six arms, as soon as the ambush soldiers came out, they didn't have to worry about him flying to the sky!
The three of them discussed for a long time, finalized the location of the ambush, the number of ambush personnel, and the possible accidents that may occur temporarily, and formulated the corresponding remedial plans one by one.
The stakes are very high, Liu Shilong said goodbye to Wang and Gao, and did not dare to delay for a moment, and even had no time to explain to Liu Wenjing first, so he rushed straight to Li Yuan's mansion and told them all about the conspiracy of the two, and at the same time proposed to strike first and seize the other party.
"It's really two people who don't know whether to live or die, my father wanted to accumulate more yin virtue, and if he can, he tried not to kill him, and spared his two dog lives! They want to kill themselves and force their father-in-law to speed up the process, but don't blame me for being ruthless! When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and couldn't help but sneer several times one after another, and immediately asked Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Liu Wenjing, Pei Lin and others to come to the meeting as soon as possible, and quickly decided on corresponding countermeasures.
On the morning of May 5, the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan summoned all the officials to come under the pretext of discussing the issue of sending troops to conquer Liu Wuzhou.
Wang Wei and Gao Junya had too many doubts about Li Yuan, and they didn't believe that he would really send troops to attack Liu Wuzhou at this moment. Besides, in fact, with the current strength of Bingzhou City, it actually does not have the strength to take the initiative to attack Liu Wuzhou - Liu Wuzhou himself is not terrible, what is terrible is that he has hundreds of thousands of Turkic iron cavalry behind him to rely on, and with only 60,000 horses under Li Yuan, most of them are new soldiers, how can he ask for hardship and take the initiative to provoke that "uncle"?
However, the two of them thought that the plan to capture Li Yuan was quite secretive, and the other party would not notice it in advance and preemptively attack! In order not to show the slightest flaw before the move, and to effectively stabilize Li Yuan, so as not to let the impending plan go to waste, the two still pretended to be obedient, tried to relax their mood, and came to Li Yuan's mansion together as if they were nothing.
By the time they arrived, the people who were supposed to come were already in place. The officials were polite to each other, and they sat down separately according to the size of their official positions. Li Yuan sat upright in the hall, opened his eyes wide, and swept around the hall majestically, coughing lightly, intending to speak, but a doorman recklessly broke in from outside. When Li Yuan saw it, he put on a blank face and rebuked loudly:
"A bold minion, how dare you trespass into the court? Didn't you see that Ben Justice was discussing the emergency military situation with your lords? ”
"My lord, no matter how bold the villain is, he doesn't dare to disturb you adults easily!" The guard replied in a low voice, and then explained aggrievedly, "However, Lord Liu Zhenghui, the secretary of Kaiyang Mansion, claims that there is something important to face the adult, no matter how the villain explains, please come back after a while!" Not only did he refuse to listen, but on the contrary, he threatened the villain and said that if he didn't report it as soon as possible, he would delay the country's major affairs and immediately kill the villain! My lord, Lord Liu is also an official, and the villain dares not to obey his words! ”
"Liu Zhenghui is really bold, he dares to come to the gate of Bengong to spread wild!" Li Yuan yelled, "What kind of bullshit is urgent, so anxious, so unexpected!" Missing! ”
"My lord," the guard stubbornly insisted, "Lord Liu claims that the matter is urgent, and he must be seen immediately!" ”
"Since that's the case, let him get in as soon as possible!" Li Yuan still said impatiently, "My father wants to see if he has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, what is a great deal, it is actually more urgent than the fight against Liu Wuzhou's anti-thief?" When the time comes, see how Bengong cleans him up! ”
After a while, Liu Zhenghui walked quickly to the hall and saluted Li Yuan, before he said solemnly: "The matter is urgent, the lower officials have taken the liberty to disturb the Lord Guogong, disturb all the adults here, I apologize!" After speaking, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and respectfully held them in front of Li Yuan.
"The top priority, crusading against Liu Wuzhou's rebels is the first priority of this father, and nothing else matters!" Li Yuan took it, didn't even look at it, threw it on the case casually, and said coldly, "What is written on this, my father will have time in a while, he will definitely take it seriously, there is no need to rush this moment!" ”
"This matter happens to be closely related to the crusade against the thief," Liu Zhenghui still stood in place, blindly insisting, "Your Excellency, you must review it immediately and deal with it immediately!" Otherwise, it will definitely delay the big thing! ”
"Is it really that urgent?" Li Yuan still looked impatient, asked casually, picked up the pieces of paper again, glanced at ten lines, and glanced at it roughly, his face suddenly changed greatly, his eyes were swollen, his palm suddenly slapped on the case, and he shouted loudly in the court:
"Someone!"
The officials on both sides responded and stood in the hall.
"Take down these two thieves!" Li Yuan pointed at Wang Wei with one finger, and designated Gao Junya, and shouted loudly.
When the officials got the order, they couldn't help but say, and they rushed up, three times and two times, and tied the two of them together. The two of them were confused, and they didn't know what big thing happened suddenly, so they were stunned for a while before they struggled hard at the same time, and loudly asked Li Yuan why he tied up the imperial court officials for no reason.
Li Yuan glanced at the two of them contemptuously, slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, and slowly took a sip, so that he was not in a hurry, and ordered the official to hand the paper to the two, sneered several times in succession, and asked mockingly:
"For no reason? What does it mean to have no cause? A conspiracy to collude with the Turks, with the intention of rebellion and rebellion, can it be regarded as unprovoked? The two of you are deeply favored by the emperor, and if you don't want to repay it, you dare to rebel in secret, it's really innocent! Now you dare to openly complain about grievances, and your skin is too thick! The two of you exercising this kind of deed, may not be ashamed of the great trust placed in the emperor and the vast number of fathers and villagers in the state? What two shameless people! ”
Wang and Gao stared at each other, barely read what was written on the paper, turned pale with anger, and protested in unison:
"The emperor is very clear about the loyalty of the lower officials to the country! How could Tang Guogong believe one-sided words and arrest the imperial court officials so rashly with a few pieces of paper made out of nothing? ”
"Lord Wang, Lord Gao, if it is for some other trivial matter, I Li should treat myself as a colleague, and I can be as tolerant as possible. However, you two have committed this heinous crime of rebellion and rebellion, and you can't ignore the country's interests and bend the law for personal gain! After Li Yuan finished speaking, he didn't allow the two to argue any more, that is, he coldly ordered:
"Put these two thieves on death row first, and keep them under strict supervision! After finding out the truth, it is not too late to go to the court to punish the crime according to the law! ”
