Chapter 1684: The Battle of the Outskirts (I)
His Majesty Li Er personally welcomed Guo Ye's return, in a ready-made word, it was the outskirts of the Son of Heaven.
This is no small matter.
Guo Ye captured the Turkic Khan, did His Majesty Li Er welcome him?
No!
Li Jing slaughtered the city and destroyed the country, and returned from Tianzhu, did His Majesty Li Er welcome him?
No!
Queen Laga Sri of Tianzhu took the initiative to worship in the Tang Dynasty, did His Majesty Li Er welcome her?
Or not!
Why is it that today, His Majesty Li Er is going to greet Guo Ye!
This...... It's not just unruly, it's simply unreasonable!
His Majesty Li Er glanced around and said, "Since you Aiqing have no objections, then this matter is decided." The specific affairs of the suburbs are fully responsible for Wei Aiqing. Three days later, I personally greeted the Duke of Qin. ”
Wow~~
As soon as His Majesty Li Er's words came out, it was like lighting a powder keg, and above the main hall, there was a sudden uproar!
"I'm against it!"
"The minister has an objection!"
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
"Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order!"
"Your Majesty, are you alright? Did you sleep too late last night and wake up too early today......"
Of course, everyone is a person with status, and it is impossible to be like a shrew, noisy and non-stop! After less than a quarter of an hour, the noise became quieter.
His Majesty Li Er coughed lightly, and peace returned to the hall. The ministers all looked at His Majesty Li Er with blank eyes, expecting him to take back his fate.
His Majesty Li Er said, "Wei Aiqing, you were the loudest just now. Let's talk about it first, why can't I welcome the Duke of Qin in the suburbs? ”
Wei Zheng sneered and said, "There are too many reasons for Weichen's opposition, and for a while, I really don't know where to start." Weichen wants to ask His Majesty a word now, what is the reason why you want to welcome the Duke of Qin in the suburbs? As long as there is a little reliable reason, Wechen can accept it! ”
"Reliable reasons? You said it yourself, this is a trivial matter, and I can make a decision. Why is it that I am dictatorial now, and you don't admit it again? ”
Wei Chigong shook his big black head and said, "That's right! I said Lao Wei, you have always been upright and outspoken, and I admire Wei Chigong. But what I did today is not very authentic. To put it mildly, you don't mean to talk. To put it mildly, it is the sin of deceit! ”
"E Guogong, I know that you have a good relationship with Qin Guogong. But if you really want to be good for the Duke of Qin, you should help me persuade Your Majesty not to welcome the Duke of Qin. This matter is harmful to Qin Guogong and not beneficial! ”
"Huh? Will it be bad for my brother? You'll have to talk to me about this. ”
"Because the Duke of Qin Guo can't afford to be so honored by His Majesty!"
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "If the Duke of Qin really made a meritorious deed, not to mention that His Majesty took the initiative to personally welcome him." Even if Your Majesty doesn't mention it, I, Wei Zheng, have to play a chapter and ask Your Majesty to welcome you. But the question now is, this credit of the Qin State is really average, and His Majesty personally welcomes him, how can he convince the people of the world? When the time comes, the crowd will be turbulent, and the name of Qin Guogong will be completely stinky! ”
Hearing this, Wei Chigong scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Lao Wei said is also a little reasonable. It is very likely that you will backfire and go against your original intention of caring for Qin Guogong. According to my old black, forget about it! ”
Wei Zheng also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is the lord of all peoples, and the ultimate thing is to reward and punish fairly." I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life! ”
"I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life!"
"I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life!"
"I hope that Your Majesty will take back his life!"
……
……
Hula, the ministers knelt on the ground!
His Majesty Li Er glared at Wei Chigong fiercely, and said, "Duke Eguo, the original purpose of you and Wei Zheng singing and harmonizing is to persuade me not to welcome Duke Qin in the suburbs, right?" Hmph, playing this trick in front of me, is this treating me as a faint king? Really, I can't even see a little trick like yours? ”
Wei Chigong was unashamed and said: "It is because you are a Dao Mingjun that I dare to play this kind of trick." If I am faint, I will go home to farm sooner or later, how dare I talk nonsense above the court? ”
His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Well, that's not bad. ”
Wei Zheng said: "So, do you agree to no longer welcome the Duke of Qin?" Your Majesty humbly admonishes, in the history books, today's events will become a good story! ”
Wei Chigong also said: "Even if Qin Guogong knows about today's events, he must not agree with His Majesty's outskirts." Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
"Nope! I haven't changed my mind! His Majesty Li Er said: "The matter of the Son of Heaven welcoming the Duke of Qin has been decided, and there is nothing to change!" ”
Without waiting for the ministers to object, His Majesty Li Er said again: "I want to welcome the Duke of Qin in the suburbs, so naturally there is a reason for me." ”
Wei Zheng would not be dismissed by His Majesty Li Er in a few words, and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, what is the truth?" ”
"This truth is that I want to distinguish rewards and punishments. The merits of Qin Guogong are enough to be worthy of my personal greeting! As for the specific credit, this matter is very important, and it cannot be publicly announced, so it can only be told to the chief officials of the three provinces and six departments, of course, Wei Aiqing can also listen. ”
As soon as Wei Zheng heard this, he didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, if His Majesty Li Er pulls down his face and lies with the dignity of the emperor, he will have to pass his own level at that time.
Wei Chi Gong said with a shy face: "Your Majesty, although our Wei Chi Gong's official position is a little lower, but ...... But ......"
"Forget it! Don't think about the reason, count you in! ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
After the early dynasty, before His Majesty Li Er sat down to drink saliva, Dong Shun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Shangshu's left servant shoots Li Jing, Shangshu's right servant shoots Fang Xuanling, and Zhongshu orders Wei Zheng ......."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, interrupted Dong Shun's words, and said, "Are all the important ministers of the imperial court here?" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Announce them in!"
"Yes!"
It doesn't take much effort, and now the people in power in the Tang Dynasty are rushing in. They are: Shangshu's left servant shoots Li Jing, Shangshu's right servant shoots Fang Xuanling, Zhongshu Ling Wei Zheng, Criminal Department Shangshu Wei Ting, Ministry Shangshu Kong Yingda, Household Department Shangshu Duan Zhixuan, and one is Zongzheng Siqing and Ministry of Industry Shangshu Li Daozong.
In addition, there are also two characters with slightly worse status: Chi Jingde, the Duke of Hubei and Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo.
His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "Zhang Liang, what are you doing here?" Is it for the purpose of welcoming the Duke of Qin in the suburbs? ”
"Uh...... Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, Zhang Liang has this intention! The minister thinks ......"
Before Zhang Liang's words were finished, His Majesty Li Er snorted coldly and said, "You are not qualified to know about this matter, let alone discuss it!" Retire! ”
Zhang Liang didn't expect His Majesty Li Er to be so faceless, but let him stand up to His Majesty Li Er, he really didn't have the courage, so he had to turn his eyes for help to Wei Ting, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
Wei Ting's courage was actually not very big, so he said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
"You speak!"
"Zhang Liang, the Duke of Xunguo, is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and he is in charge of bad people, if you want to say the secret of our Datang, what Weichen knows, he must know. What Weichen doesn't know, he may know. This matter is not hidden from Weichen, but it is hidden from Xunguogong, it seems to be ...... It doesn't seem to make much sense. Besides, in terms of status and status, the Duke of Xun Guo is not under the Duke of Eguo, favoring one over the other, I am afraid that it will hurt His Majesty's name! ”
His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "It's not that I want to keep it a secret from the Lord of the Nation. It's just that he and Qin Guogong have some festivals, which everyone knows. Now to discuss the reward of Qin Guogong, it is better to avoid suspicion. ”
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. As the saying goes, reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason. If the Lord of the Honors declares a personal vendetta, can he still hide it from the eyes of so many of us? On the contrary, if Your Majesty ......"
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "You mean that I am a fake public and private? ”
"Don't dare! It's just that if it is peaceful today, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no place for heroes. After thinking about it, he just didn't think of it, what place could he have made a great contribution to Qin Guogong, which was worthy of His Majesty's personal welcome! ”
His Majesty Li Er said: "Then Wei Aiqing is really wrong this time!" Qin Guogong's contribution this time is not only worthy of my personal welcome! And I'm going to raise his knighthood! King Qin, this title is good, right? ”
