Chapter 522: Curtain call
Li Shimin watched the eldest grandson Wuji stumble away!
Forgiveness is easy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Trust again, it's not that easy.
He understands, and the eldest grandson Wuji also understands!
The palace where Li Shimin is now is just an inconspicuous uninhabited palace in the huge palace!
Under the uncertain oil lamp, Li Shimin stood alone on top of the dark hall! Under the uncertain oil lamp, Li Shimin's face was also cloudy!
In fact, everything that happened tonight has become so much simpler!
After Li Shimin's last chance to give the eldest grandson Wuji was denied, Li Shimin simply asked Li Guohong to take people to the Zhao Guogong Mansion with the eldest grandson Wuji to retrieve the roster, as for the name, Li Shimin called it "Eldest Sun Neiwei", and the eldest grandson Wuji also seemed to acquiesce to this statement. With Li Guohong leading people to follow, the eldest grandson Wuji had no chance to tamper with anything at all.
Whether the eldest grandson Wuji is involved or not, as long as he brings the roster back, it will naturally be revealed to the world!
This is also what Li Shimin said before the eldest grandson Wuji went out, "Now that you have left this gate, you will only have the friendship of monarchs and ministers left in me!" The purpose of this last sentence!
What he did was just to give the eldest grandson Wuji a chance again!
However, the eldest grandson Wuji still denied it!
In fact, people are the same as trees, the more they yearn for the sunlight in the heights, the more their roots will reach out to the dark ground.
Li Shimin, sitting on this throne is the same! There's so much darkness down there!
Eldest grandson Wuji, is it really as clean as he said?
Li Shimin doesn't know!
Li Guohong went for an hour before coming back!
At this moment, the time is already in time!
In addition to the thick roster, Li Guohong also brought back a report from the eldest grandson Wuji to Li Shimin, as well as the eldest grandson Wuji's henchman Xuan Bing! Of course, the report was written under the surveillance of Li Guohong! As for what is written, Li Guohong does not know!
And for the eldest grandson Wuji to ask him to bring Xuan Bing back, Li Guohong didn't know what was going on! Therefore, you, Li Guohong, did not directly bring Xuan Bing into the side hall, but asked the guards to wait outside the side hall.
Looking at the four words "Your Majesty's personal enlightenment" on the letter newspaper that had not yet dried ink, Li Shimin's heart trembled suddenly, and he felt a sense of ominousness. He made up his mind, waved his hand to let Li Guohong and the others step back, and personally opened the report.
"The eldest son of the guilty minister, Sun Wuji, bowed his head to worship His Majesty: the criminal minister is a native of Henan, born in Luoyang, raised by his uncle since he was a child, and learned the way of governing the country and the world; He and His Majesty were friends in cloth, the Emperor Taishang raised troops, and the criminal ministers tried their best, and then tried their best to help His Majesty ascend to the supreme position, and so far, it has been twenty-eight years. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's handwriting is as strict as ever, revealing a strong atmosphere!
"By the weight of His Majesty, the guilty ministers can see the face of the sky, the Emperor Longen, first give the pawn, and then for His Majesty's marching history, and worship for the military and government, the guilty ministers are grateful and frightened.
More than ten years have passed, like a white horse passing through a gap. As for the fourteen years of serving the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty finally became an unprecedentedly meritorious feat of the Five Emperors and Three Kings, looking down on the heroes, and the world was unified! Accept Your Majesty's kindness, don't suspect it as a criminal minister's relatives, and give the guilty minister General Zuo Wuhou, the official department Shangshu, Sikong, Situ, Shizhong, and Zhongshu order, and the criminal minister has nothing to repay, but the body of the minister!
When the letter was written here, the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be in a very agitated mood, and the handwriting began to be a little messy and scribbled.
"Today's Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty is working hard, wise and majestic, Wen has Fang Du, Wu has Wei Gong, Ying Gong, Jiangxia Wang, and the young generation is even more numerous, so that my Tang Dynasty has countless people with armor, strong and brave, and the disaster of the border is the chicken and the dog. His Majesty's only concern is Goguryeo and Tuyuhunya. In the East China Sea, there is a country of Japanese slaves, and the ambition of the wolf son must not be guarded against, with the majesty of His Majesty, there should be a way to resolve it. The matter of Skynet, the criminal minister sent to His Majesty's Xuan Ice also knows, but His Majesty has a question, and he will say everything!
And so far, the criminal minister has been in a high position for several years! The power of the people's hearts, the four-character disaster, today the criminal ministers know it. It's too late to regret it. The guilty ministers are ashamed of His Majesty, especially his sister and queen, and the chaos in the palace tonight, the thorns of the princes, are all from the hands of the criminal ministers.
The guilty minister has no face to His Majesty, only the courage to ask His Majesty for forgiveness of Xuan Bing's sins, everything is caused by the guilty minister, and the criminal minister only died to thank His Majesty and Queen Long En'er, but I regretted it when I never saw my Tang Dynasty shining brightly. The sinner commits such a rebellious thing, and he is ashamed to see the old man!
The ancients had a cloud: the bird is about to die, and its song is also mourning; People are about to die, their words are also good, and the criminal ministers view the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, but a certain prince is narrow-minded, jealous and virtuous, and the enemy is clear, and it is not available. The ministers and the monarch set up a plot, which was the work of the wrong champion general, the heart of the country, and the leakage of military information, the minister was also very shocked, long live Your Majesty, and the chief of the guilty ministers, Sun Wuji, kowtowed to worship. ”
There's nothing you can't get by, it's just that you can't go back!
"Mowgli!"
After reading the last word, Li Shimin's heart trembled, and the letter fell from his hand to the ground, for a long time, Li Shimin was silent!
After reading this report, which was similar to his last words, Li Shimin's original anger and murderous intent towards the assassin were gone, for some reason, at this moment!
Yes, it's just an endless sigh for the eldest grandson Wuji!
originally thought that Zhenguan would be able to jump out of the vicious circle of killing heroes in previous dynasties, and the civil and military generals who followed him for half his life would be able to die well. It's just that I didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji and Hou Junji, the two major henchmen, still embarked on another road of no return!
Regret and regret, just four words are enough to explain the complex psychology of Changsun Wuji when he wrote this letter!
Power obscured his original wise heart!
Presumably at this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji is dead.
Come to think of it, with his old scheming, even if he dies, he will not leave himself with an intractable problem!
Li Shimin walked out of the side hall slowly, looked at the east side that had gradually become red, and thought in a daze. Before he knew it, two lines of tears flowed from the king's eyes.
Although the eldest grandson Wuji did not admit it in this side hall, he used another method to fulfill himself and the eldest grandson's family! It also fulfilled Li Shimin's Tang Dynasty.
Calming down at this moment, Li Shimin already somewhat understood why the eldest grandson Wuji didn't admit it, but chose to break it off by himself!
In this side hall, if the eldest grandson Wuji admitted that he did it at that time, should Li Shimin be furious, scolded, and let people drag him down and cut him down directly? Or should he be judged directly in front of a large court?
The only member of the Tang Dynasty, the uncle of the Tang Dynasty, assassinated his brother-in-law who was the emperor, and also injured his own sister by mistake!
Should the people of the world say that Li Shimin has no eyes? Or should I scold the eldest grandson Wuji for being a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised? Or both?
However, no matter which one it is, spreading this matter will have an extremely bad impact on Li Shimin, who is the emperor, and the Tang Dynasty! It will make an earthquake break out in the entire Datang! People with ulterior motives hidden in the shadows in various parts of the world will inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. The situation in the world, which Li Tang had managed to stabilize with great difficulty, would collapse in an instant.
And if Li Shimin directly executes the eldest grandson Wuji secretly in this palace, he will also not be able to hide it from the world! After all, the eldest grandson Wuji is above 10,000 people under one person, and there are many people headed by him in the court!
Of course, the strength in Li Shimin's hands now cannot be turned over by anyone in the DPRK and China! However, now, in the case of the external troubles of Datang, the regeneration of civil strife will only benefit those with ill intentions!
Obviously, the eldest grandson Wuji saw all this clearly, so he chose to break it off on his own!
The eldest grandson Wuji made his own decision, whether it was for him, Li Shimin, or now Datang, it was the best way to solve this matter!
Of course, what the eldest grandson Wuji did was not just for Li Shimin and Datang. Naturally, there is also his consideration for the entire Eldest Sun Clan! At the same time, he also proved in this way that his eldest grandson Wuji also loves his children like ordinary parents, but his way is too intense.
If he dies, all the factors that are unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin will be minimized, so in the matter of the eldest grandson, it is impossible for Li Shimin, as the emperor, to expose his shortcomings!
Okay, you eldest grandson old fox, you're dead, and you're still calculating me! What a damn one!
Li Shimin muttered to himself, but the twitching corners of his mouth proved that the agitation and insincerity in his heart at this moment!
In the early morning of the same day, Sun Wuji, the chief of the Tang Dynasty and the Duke of Zhao, was on the way to the palace, and was plotted by assassins and poisoned in his body, and died suddenly in the study of the palace shortly after returning to the palace of Zhao Guogong!
This discredited minister, although in the end he still did not escape the fate of not dying well, but it is far better than being framed by Xu Jingzong in the original history, exiled to Qianzhou, and finally hanged himself!
At least, he died peacefully and decently!
At least, his eldest grandson family survived! At least, his eldest grandson can continue to enjoy the respect and wealth of the people of the Tang Dynasty!
Of course, this is under the condition that Li Shimin can't settle accounts after the autumn!
The road is at the feet of the eldest grandson clan who have no eldest grandson Wuji.
How to walk, only walk through to know!
However, no matter what, tonight will inevitably go down in the annals of the Tang Dynasty!
"Li Guohong!" Li Shimin retracted his mind and said loudly!
"Your Majesty is here!"
"You lead the guards to see Cheng Yanjin, take that Xuan Bing, you and Cheng Yanjin go to catch all the Skynet hidden in Chang'an City, and kill none of these dead soldiers on the spot! At the same time, the myth of fate is on the list, and the people in the sky are searched all over the world, and they are carefully escorted back to Chang'an, and the dead are killed and not a single one is left! ”
At this moment, the sky is already bright!
……
In the courtyard of the deep palace, there is still the side hall.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Qin Qiong, who had been waiting in a corner of the side hall, were summoned by Li Shimin not long after Li Guohong left.
Above the main hall, Li Shimin sat with his back to the light. The long shadow was projected by the lights on the lobby, facing the five important ministers above the hall, facing the huge candle behind Li Shimin, but he couldn't see any of Li Shimin's expressions or eyes at all.
The emperor, as if shrouded in darkness.
"Today, here is only me and the five of you. The eldest grandson is gone! ”
This is the first sentence that Li Shimin said!
Above the main hall, there was silence at first, and then suddenly five exclamations came out!
Whether it is Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, or Li Jing and Qin Qiong, any person is a figure above the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that in addition to hearing that the Turks killed Chang'an City that day, today is the most terrifying thing for them.
After the exclamation, the hall suddenly fell silent!
After a brief moment of surprise, all five seemed to understand something! The eldest grandson Wuji had a separate conversation with Li Shimin after pleading guilty, and as for what the eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin and when he left, it was impossible for the five of them in the small room on the side of the side hall to know.
But combined with what the eldest grandson Wuji said, with what Li Shimin just said, everyone understands that tonight's assassination must have something to do with Sun Wuji.
Thinking about this, the five people who were shocked after the shock swelled up with boundless anger in their hearts. What does the eldest grandson Wuji want to do? What good can he do by assassinating the emperor? Does he want to destroy the entire Tang Dynasty?
Soon boundless anger was replaced by deep sighs and endless sorrows.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, is dead. That talented, civil and military capable official died like this.
The deceased is like a husband!
Five people have such a sentence in their minds at the same time!
The deceased has passed away, and all the things in the past are now looking back like yesterday. What was fought for in the past is so ridiculous at this moment! And the eldest grandson Wuji, although he asked for it, but now he is repaying it with death.
"Your Majesty's condolences!"
Qin Qiong, as a general who was charging into battle, was accustomed to seeing countless life and death, so he quickly recovered his mood and bowed down solemnly.
"Your Majesty's condolences!"
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and Li Jing said sadly at the same time.
"Tonight's events are over." Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
"Your Ministers obey!"
"Lord Eldest Sun has chosen a way to end this matter with me, which is the most beneficial to Datang, and there is no need to mention the merits and demerits now. I decided that after the funeral of the Zhao Mansion tomorrow, I personally came to the door to appease the eldest grandson. What do you think? Li Shimin said lightly.
"Your Ministers obey!"
Everyone bowed in unison.
It is reasonable to be reasonable, after the death of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin should come to the door to worship.
"Then the matter is settled." Li Shimin looked at the five people in the hall and said in a deep voice.
From the moment they heard that the eldest grandson Wuji had died, everyone knew that the eldest grandson Wuji was obviously forced to death by Li Shimin. He is to blame. After all, intending to assassinate the emperor is to punish the sins of the nine clans.
"He didn't admit anything. I didn't force him. It seemed that seeing what the five people were thinking, Li Shimin thought about it.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the five people in the hall must have guessed the relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji and tonight's events. At the same time, Li Shimin is also very clear about the complicated relationship between the five people in the hall and the eldest grandson Wuji.
They are also friends and foes, although they have different political views, but they are all sympathetic.
Because, these people, in fact, are no different. They are all a group of people who stand at the forefront of this era, and they are also the top heroes of this era.
The only difference is the position, the desire, and the political opinion.
Those who despise the enemy are unkind, those who are lightly benevolent are unrighteous, those who are lightly righteous are unkind, and those who are lightly filial are the most ruthless.
The emperor was originally a widow. However, the widow is also a human being.
Although he is the emperor, Li Shimin does not want to be a loner.
There are some things to say and some things not to say. The death of the eldest grandson Wuji is to blame. But judging from his life, the merits and demerits of the eldest grandson Wuji are really difficult to comment.
