Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Early Dynasty (II)

With the shouts of the great eunuch's duck-like voice, Li Shimin, the current emperor of Great Chu, slowly walked into the Xuanshu Hall surrounded by the guards and sat on the dragon chair at the top. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Shimin is 57 years old this year, and compared with previous emperors, he is one of the few emperors who has enjoyed a long life.

He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and nine lifelike five-clawed golden dragons were embroidered with gold thread on the dragon robe, and the golden dragons stretched and moved in the clouds, looking extremely expressive.

Li Shimin had a little smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Yang Shen knelt down with the civil and military officials: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand: "You are exempt from courtesy. ”

The crowd then came to their seats, and each of them had a small bench in front of them, and the officials were seated.

When the previous dynasty was in power, the officials sat on their knees in the court.

Before the fall of Meng Yuan, after taking power, the officials in the court had no seats and could only stand.

After Taizu Li Yunlong ascended the throne, most of the kneeling salutes were abolished, which greatly improved the status of the courtiers, and the ministers finally had unprecedented seats in the court.

In Yang Shen's view, although Taizu's policy seems a little undignified, it is very humane.

He loved it.

Yang Shen raised his head and noticed the smile on the corner of Li Shimin's mouth.

In this regard, there was some speculation in his heart.

Then he heard Li Shimin's voice sound: "Do you have something to do?" There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

At this time, a young official at the end of the civil official team stood up, holding a fold in his hand, and he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Li Shimin saw that the person who came out was this person, and the smile on his face faded significantly: "Come on." ”

Yang Shen recognized this person as the Jinshi of the present department, supervising the imperial history Hu Dahai.

Most of the overseers were scattered throughout the country, and a small number remained in Kyoto, and although they were small officials, they were granted permission to go to the court.

Hu Dahai said loudly: "Weichen impeached the first product of the dynasty, and the seven major sins of Yang Shen, the Duke of Rongguo, "harboring treachery and evil in his heart, forming a party for personal gain, no courtesy, no king, disloyalty to the minister, disdain for his subordinates, and dissent."

Then the mouth was like a river, and the origin of each crime was counted.

Yang Shen's face was already turning green.

He looked at Hu Dahai, a little official, shaking his head there, but he was holding his Yang someone's prestige vigorously, and silently considered in his heart whether he should lead someone to block this little official in the black alley and beat him half to death.

Don't you see that Wen Tiancai, this old thing, has never been troubled by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate since he beat up the imperial history?

These people, maybe a beating can make them more memorable, Yang Shen thought a little darkly in his heart.

Li Shimin had a faint look of impatience on his face, if it was usual, he would be very happy to see this scene. Although the impeachment of the supervising imperial history can't move Yang Shen, it can completely disgust this kid, and he can also use this excuse to reprimand this Yang family child fiercely, and get over it.

But today, he has more important things, and he doesn't have time to listen to this long story of the imperial history.

Li Shimin said lightly: "Okay, I know, Qing's recital is presented, retreat." ”

Hu Dahai was a little stunned, the script shouldn't be played like this!

Shouldn't Yang Shen, the Duke of Rongguo, be furious, refute and even threaten himself fiercely, and then he is not afraid of power, and righteously refutes this powerful but unholy magnat, and then His Majesty stops himself, and then reprimands Rong Guogong for being impeached without knowing how to reflect but roaring at the court?

He also knew that it was impossible for him to help Yang Shen, and he just wanted to deepen his impression in the emperor's heart.

As long as Jane is in the emperor's heart, there will be no chance of soaring in the future.

Anyway, except for the old man who is a genius of Wen, I haven't seen what happened to the imperial historians who will impeach them.

Benefit but not cost, a million profits!

However, the emperor asked him to retreat, and he also retreated. The purpose of showing his face left and right has been achieved, there is no need to offend Rong Guogong with his neck to death, that is to find death.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and a eunuch standing on the side walked up to Hu Dahai, took his recital, and presented it to the emperor.

Li Shimin was very satisfied when he saw that he had retreated neatly, and even showed a little smile on his face, and asked the hundred officials: "Do you Aiqing still have something to do?" This time, he set his sights directly on one person in the civilian ranks.

The official who was being targeted by Li Shimin obviously couldn't sit still, and he suspected that if he didn't stand up again, he was afraid that His Majesty would write him down in a small notebook.

This person's name is the waiter of the Ministry of Rites of the Official Residence, and he stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Let's play." ”

Zhang Tianhua said: "Your Majesty, there is a Tuhun envoy Lu Tianpu who has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing from afar, and I beg to meet Your Majesty." He said that he was willing to present his letter of state, pay tribute to our court, and send an envoy to pay tribute. ”

Many ministers in the court had actually heard a little bit about this, and they were also very curious about why Tuhun, who had been constantly invading Chu since the reign of Taizong, suddenly wanted to claim to Great Chu.

Li Shimin stroked his beard slightly, looked around the hall, and had a hidden look on his face: "Come here, Xuantuhun envoy enters the hall." ”

A voice as sharp as a male duck's voice sounded: "Xuan, the Tuhun envoy enters the palace." ”

A middle-aged man walked into the temple under the guidance of a eunuch.

He wore a white felt robe, a colored band tied around his head, and a long braid hanging down the back of his head.

Yang Shen looked at this Eagle Man coldly, he was thinking about whether he could stop this peace if he killed this Tuhun Man.

Tuhun Lu Tianpu prostrate on the ground with five bodies on the ground: "Lu Tianpu, a contemptible person in the lower country, meet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu." ”

Li Shimin smiled and said: "The envoy came from afar, there is no need to be polite, come and sit." ”

Barbarians come to the court, and the four seas are subdued, isn't this a symbol of the reign of a holy monarch? Naturally, he was quite happy in his heart.

As for the Turks in the north, they had never obeyed him, so they were naturally selectively ignored by him.

Tuhun people please surrender to the courtiers, and the Central Plains will go to a big trouble, which means that he has the martial arts of civil governance and martial arts that the ancestors and ancestors did not have.

Although he wished that the Tuhun people would defeat the Yang family, Tuhun obviously did not have this kind of strength, and the dynasty had to pay various military expenses in Qingzhou every year, how could he be happy?

"What a great achievement," Yang Shen scolded fiercely in his heart.

This guy is clearly from the Central Plains to deceive beauties, seeds, books, and craftsmen, but it is ridiculous that Li Shimin, the emperor of Great Chu, not only did not have vigilance, but also became complacent for Tuhun to be a minister.

Can you take advantage of other people's half a penny? Ten years later, the Tuhun people will use the resources you gave to become stronger, and at that time, it will be the result of losing the wife and losing the army. Although they were the first to plague Cheongju, the Central Plains would definitely not be spared by them.

In the previous life, the Tubo people captured Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Shimin obviously does not think like him.

He asked Lu Tianpu, "Your envoy has come thousands of miles away, what is the matter?" ”

Lu Tianpu got up from his seat, bent down and bowed, and said: "The lord of the lower country admires the cultural clothes of the Central Plains, and wants to offer your majesty the title of minister, and send an envoy to present you with all kinds of rare treasures of the contempt country as a tribute, and implore Your Majesty to choose a princess to marry the prince of the contemptible." “

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper in his bosom and raised it above his head with both hands.

He had already met Li Shimin before, and the matter of marriage had already been decided, so his performance had been very bland.

Li Shimin greeted slightly, and a little eunuch walked up to Lu Tianpu, took the paperwork, and gave it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin opened the paperwork, looked at it, and the smile on his face became more and more vigorous.

After a while, he raised his head and saw that Lu Tianpu was still bent over, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Your envoy, please take a seat." “

He asked the courtiers again: "What do you Aiqing think of Lu Qing's request, I want to ask Lu Qing to marry Prince Tuhun with Princess Qianyu, do you think it is okay?" “

The ministers in the audience looked at each other and said nothing.

What does it matter to the emperor to marry his own daughter? Marrying the Tuhun people in exchange for peace on the frontier, they think it's not bad.

It is that the Turk Eagle people have been committing crimes for many years, and the matter of marrying the Turbulent Eagle people has not been done, not to mention that the Tuhun people have to come to Chang'an to pay tribute.

Li Shimin believes that this matter has not harmed anyone's interests, and there should be no twists and turns, and as long as the marriage is successful and Tuhun strikes the army, not only will he be able to leave a name in history because of this incident, but even the current military expenses paid to Qingzhou can be reduced.

At this time, Yang Shen suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is very inappropriate. “

"Oh?" Li Shimin lengthened his tone, and his face sank completely: "What is Aiqing's opinion?" ”

Yang Shen was not moved by Li Shimin's face: "Your Majesty, the Turks have also been courtiers to our court, but now they are still committing crimes year after year, and our court has also been a princess and a relative, has it had any effect?" The other Tuhun people, like the Turks, have wolf ambitions, how can they truce with our country because of the princess's marriage? Marrying a princess is not only not beneficial to the country, but will help increase the arrogance of the people, and Weichen believes that he must not agree. “

With Yang Shen's statement, some people among the ministers and generals stood up, this one said "Weichen seconded", and the other said "The minister also thinks that the marriage is inappropriate", "Please think twice", for a while, the hall was full of opposition.

These people, including the power of the Yang family, the Wen family, and the children of the Ye family, seem to be very powerful.

Lu Tianpu's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Yang Shen fiercely.

Yang Shen ignored it, in his heart, Lu Tianpu was already a dead man.

"Enough!" Li Shimin said coldly: "I have made up my mind, and this matter is up to the cabinet to vote." ”

He glared at Yang Shen coldly, and then waved his sleeves: "Retreat." Then he left the Xuanmuro Palace.

The officials also left the Xuanmu Palace.
