It is naturally a good thing that someone comes to vote, and it is also a voluntary surrender, which fully shows that the prestige of the Heavenly Khan is far and wide, and everyone surrenders, Li Shimin can't help but feel a little happy, in fact, there are also many benefits, whether it is as an example or to understand the intelligence of the Western Turks, Li Shimin is not allowed to refuse Ashinadur to vote.

"Yesterday, the news from the side court reported that Ashinadur sent someone to contact the guard." Li Jing presented the recital, and said respectfully: "The matter is big, the guards dare not call the shots, Pegasus sent a message, and reported it to the military department, just now in the early dynasty, Hou Junji wanted to report this matter, but encountered the news of the Qiang rebellion......"

There are some things, it's good to talk about it, especially Li Jing, a semi-retired courtier, actually knows the news earlier than the emperor, for Li Shimin, he has some scruples, and now when he hears the explanation, he is relieved, the reason is that he was angry just now, brushed his sleeves away, missed Hou Junji's report, and couldn't blame others.

Ashina, this surname, is not simple, equivalent to the royal family in the Turkic tribes, Ashina Dur is not only the nephew of Jieli Khan, but also the Sui Dynasty, married Princess Yicheng as the wife of the second son of Chuluo Khan, such a character, not a captive defeat, but take the initiative to come to take refuge, of great significance, Li Shimin naturally welcomed.

However, Li Shimin and Li Jing also know that there is no love and hate in the world for no reason, but there is an intention in this regard, as for whether it is really sincere, it will definitely go through some twists and turns, but this matter has its own Li Shimin and other monarchs and ministers, Li Jing felt that he should be interested, and before the Son of Heaven did not ask the plan, he retreated.

It's good news, Li Shimin's mood is also better, he put his mind on government affairs, and instructed the temple people to bring the memora of today's recital, review a few copies, and suddenly saw a piece of impeachment, Li Shimin frowned slightly, thought about it for a moment, and directly summoned Fang Xuanling.

After a while, Fang Xuanling arrived, there was no way, as the prime minister, he should have such an awareness, waiting for the emperor's orders at any time, coming and going, some people feel annoyed, but more people are flocking to it, enjoying it, Fang Xuanling should be between the two, but the taste of being a very human minister is not so easy to bear, especially under the rule of a strong emperor like Li Shimin, without excellent quality, he has long been drowned in the long river of history, and there is no chance to get ahead.

Looking at the famous ministers during the Zhenguan period, which is not a bull who is not written in the history books, even if he is not familiar with it, at least he should have heard of the name, that is, under their background, it is even more obvious that Li Shimin's ability to dominate is not comparable to ordinary emperors.

has also been a confidant for many years, how could Fang Xuanling really be afraid, but he also showed a little confusion just right, and before Li Shimin could speak, he took the lead in asking for guilt.

"What are your sins?" Li Shimin asked.

Fang Xuanling replied respectfully: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, the lord humiliates the ministers to death, and His Majesty is not happy with the government, it must be the sin of the ministers." ”

Lao Jianju, this kind of theory, for the faint monarch, must be pleasant to the ear, but Li Shimin is not so easy to be fooled, allowing Fang Xuanling to pass the test in confusion, and directly asked: "Someone participated in the school secretary Lang Han Rui, privately changed the imperial court decree, published Buddhist scriptures, what is going on, is it clear that the servant shoots?" ”

It stands to reason that Han Rui is only an eight-grade official, barely on the stage, but it can be regarded as a dispensable role, the impeachment of the imperial historian is just a trivial matter, under normal circumstances, Li Shimin gave two instructions, Dali Temple, or officials such as officials went to verify, if the participation is true, the ministers of the three provinces under the Zhongshu Sect will discuss and solve it, and then report the results of the matter to Li Shimin Shenglan, which is the process of the imperial court to deal with political affairs.

Nuoda's empire, military aircraft, civil affairs, border defense...... There are all kinds of things, big and small, no matter how big or small, all of them are taken into account, people's energy is limited, and they don't understand the result of delegating power, they must be similar to Zhuge Liang, they do their best, and die of exhaustion, Li Shimin naturally understands this truth, recruits talents all year round, is thirsty for talents, and discovers talents, just to let them help them share political affairs, govern the country and the country, and achieve the foundation of the world.

Of course, proper decentralization, that is called vertical arch rule, all decentralization, that is self-defeating, and now Li Shimin grabbed this matter and blamed Fang Xuanling, mainly this matter, but it can be big or small, to put it lightly, it is nothing more than Han Rui's own assertions, and it is heavy to say...... That's very serious, after all, the books printed by the carving workshop were prepared by the Ministry of Rites, and Li Shimin's imperial pen was appointed, and now there are people who have changed without his consent, what kind of surname is this, and is there still an emperor in his eyes?

Sensing Li Shimin's anger, Fang Xuanling was awe-struck in his heart, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know when this matter will happen. "Could it be that Han Rui really couldn't withstand the bewitchment of those monks and broke into a catastrophe, if this is the case, then no one can protect him.

"Three days ago." Li Shimin said, his eyes are sharp, no matter how talented Han Rui is, but as a courtier, he should abide by the way of a minister, if the matter is true, he doesn't mind letting the world know what kind of end it is to defy the authority of the emperor.

After three days, after pinching his fingers, Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, but Han Rui took leave of absence due to illness four days ago, and now he is recuperating at home and has not returned from illness." ”

Well, Li Shimin was a little surprised, and then said in a deep voice: "Then who is in charge of the carving workshop?" ”

Leave can't get rid of suspicion, after all, this kind of thing, as long as the order continues, the craftsman will naturally obey the arrangement.

"I think it's a secretary." Fang Xuanling said, I'm not very sure who it is, after all, I am very busy, and I am busy with official business, and I can remember everything clearly.

Li Shimin understood, and immediately passed down the oracle and summoned the secretary and young eunuch Yan Shigu.

Yu Shinan asked for leave, and the secretary and supervisor were presided over by Yan Shigu in charge of the overall situation, but he was not necessarily so busy, when the temple people came, they were just leisurely reading the literary and historical materials, and when they heard the emperor's dictation, they did not dare to slack off, and went in a hurry, and came to the palace, the first thing that caught their eyes was not Li Shimin, nor Fang Xuanling, but under the imperial table, rows of Buddhist scriptures and books.

However, during the summoning of Yan Shigu, Li Shimin instructed Gong Er to move from the carving workshop to prove that the matter of impeachment was indeed grounded, and as for what the truth was, it would have to be investigated.

Seeing these books, Yan Shigu was confused, bowed respectfully, and on the royal platform, flipping through several beautifully printed Buddhist scriptures, Li Shimin remained silent and asked in a normal tone: "Yan Qing, who is in charge of the work of the workshop today?" ”

"Han Xiaoshu is sick and has been on vacation for a few days, and this matter cannot be neglected, so the minister discussed with everyone in the prison and asked the secretary Lang Gu Yin to take care of it on his behalf." Yan Shigu said, sighing secretly in his heart, who called Gu Yin a newcomer, this kind of laborious and unmeritorious thing, those school scholars were not very willing to do it, and they all pushed it on him, obviously a joint calculation.

But with the word of the people, Yan Shigu had to push the boat with the current, after all, he was a newcomer, and a little more sharpening would help him grow.

"So, did he report to you about the Carving Workshop?" Li Shimin asked.

Vaguely aware that something was wrong, Yan Shigu thought seriously for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, Secretary Gu went to the carving workshop, just to supervise and inspect, and there is nothing else to report." ”

Li Shimin believes that Yan Shigu, a veteran minister for many years, naturally knows the consequences of resisting the will and will not make a mistake, at present, the simplest analysis, this matter, can draw two possibilities, one is that Han Rui did it, deliberately framed Gu Yin, and asked him to help him bear the guilt, and the other is that Gu Yin did it, the reason is unknown, and it needs to be interrogated.

Suddenly there was interest, Li Shimin was about to recruit all these people, and when he checked them one by one, a temple man crawled in, panting, not caring about wiping sweat, and knelt down directly, crying and mourning, and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the emperor... The emperor ...... just now"

"How is the Emperor?" Li Shimin was shocked, and he had a bad feeling.

Shaking his body like chaff, the temple man kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor vomited blood just now and is unconscious......

What, Li Shimin's face changed greatly, and while hurrying away, the dragon sleeves brushed on the case, with the accumulation of twists and turns, fell to the ground with a bang, and said loudly: "Quickly pass the imperial doctor!" ”

A group of temple maids hurriedly accompanied them, leaving Fang Xuanling and Yan Shigu looking at each other, and their hearts were two more heavy, in the past two years, the body of the Emperor Taishang has often been sick, intermittent, and jet lag, and he has not been healthy at all, and this year things are getting higher, and he vomits blood and is in a coma, and the situation is not very good.

It's not that the two don't want to visit, it's mainly that the forbidden palace is important, as foreign ministers, without the emperor's will, they naturally can't get involved in it, look at each other, shake their heads, and it's not easy to leave, so they have to wander around the palace corridor and wait for the result.

After a while, Yan Shigu suddenly asked, "Fang Xiang, what is the purpose of His Majesty's summoning me to meet me this time?" ”

Fang Xuanling groaned, with his understanding of Li Shimin, he knew that this matter would definitely not give up, and he would definitely investigate it to the end, and he would not hide it at the moment, and he would tell the truth about what happened just now, and sighed at the end: "It's better that this matter has nothing to do with Han Rui, otherwise it will ......."

Yan Shigu frowned, his face was heavy, this kind of thing is not a joke, no matter what the purpose, you can't do it, otherwise you will be guilty of bullying the king, even if the emperor has the heart to forgive, the hundred officials in the court will not agree, and it must be severely punished to set an example, so as not to mess up the court.

"Come to think of it, Han Rui wouldn't be so unwise." Yan Shigu muttered.

Fang Xuanling nodded and said indifferently: "I hope so." ”

The two looked at each other, shook their heads, sighed, and were silent, their love for talent was limited, and before the matter was clear, it was impossible to immediately open their mouths to help exonerate, if it was proved that Han Rui was not guilty, then naturally everyone would be happy, if it was confirmed that Han Rui was guilty, they could consider interceding.

"The wind is rising, it's going to rain......" Fang Xuanling said softly, looking up, the sun was shining just now, the sky with white clouds was leisurely, in an instant, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, the sky and the earth changed color, gloomy, dark clouds, and the wind was fierce, blowing the copper bells on the eaves of the palace tinkling, like the eve of a storm.
