Chapter 54: The Temptation of the Monarch and the Minister

This Wei Chi cannon is actually really drunk and dizzy sometimes, and he is caught by the eldest grandson Wuji's moves, and sometimes he is not dizzy, and he does it deliberately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Anyway, there is so much money in the family that I can't spend it in a few lifetimes, so take some of it and take it away, just have fun.

This Wei Chi cannon has been immersed in officialdom for so many years, even a piece of wood has been ventilated, and the continuous beating of Taizong Li Shimin for several years, coupled with the hostile state of the ministers in the past, has tempered this upright temperament and fierce temperament Wei Chi Cannon has also matured and become wise and foolish.

The frequent exchanges between the ministers and the Weichi cannon caused Taizong Li Shimin to be highly vigilant, and he was not afraid of what would happen to the Weichi cannon, because he knew in his heart that the Weichi cannon had no second thoughts about him.

But the ministers often went to his place to get together for a drink, and Li Shimin was afraid that other ministers would take the opportunity to form a friend, so he thought about it again because on the seventh day of the second month of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, he sent Wei Chi's cannon to Yanzhou to serve as the governor.

Wei Chi Cannon's departure, often looking for him to drink without paying, and a few courtiers who love to take advantage of his family are still a little uncomfortable, and they complain for him in private:

People didn't make any mistakes, why did they send them to the county and state again, don't you know where you came from?

After coming and going, these discussions reached Li Shimin's ears, and Li Shimin thought,

Isn't this a change of law to say that I unload the mill and kill the donkey?

So Taizong, who had been in office for less than a year, asked Wei Chi Cannon, who had not been in office for a year, to return to Beijing to serve as the Kaifu Yitong Third Division.

As soon as he heard that the cannon was back, the people who were looking for him to drink went more diligently, and Fang Xuanling, Li Daozong and several other important ministers didn't go to him for a long time to cheat things, and they also ran to his house twice in three days.

Li Daozong seems to be avenging the revenge of a punch, every time he goes, he has to get something back, which is not much different from the Ming robbery, sometimes Wei Chi Cannon really doesn't take good things out, while he is not prepared, Li Daozong actually unloaded his golden saddle and carried it away, which made Wei Chi Cannon cry and laugh.

Looking at the busy traffic at the door of the Buzheng Fang's Weichi cannon, and there were courtiers coming in and out, Li Shimin couldn't sit still. Thought:

If this continues, it is really possible for the courtiers to take the opportunity to form a party for personal gain, and they have to think of a way to scare Wei Chi Cannon and make him more restrained, he does not often go out to socialize with the courtiers, and the courtiers will naturally gather less and leave more and have no chance to form a party for personal gain.

So, he sent someone to invite Yu Chi Cannon to the palace, knowing that he was loyal to him, but he deliberately said to Yu Chi Gong:

"Some people say that you often gather people to plot against you, why is that?"

Wei Chi Cannon's words for a day, as a minister, the shock and fear that Wei Chi Cannon felt were self-evident.

At first, he was as shocked as a rabbit that had been hit by an arrow, and cursed in his heart:

Which bastard is making up Lao Tzu's rumors?

But after thinking about it, there is no groundlessness, and the emperor suddenly asked like this, clearly suspecting that he had the intention of rebellion!

Thinking of so many years of being born and dying for him, scarred all over his body, and never having a second heart, he stood up and said angrily:

"The minister is indeed rebelling!"

Wei Chi Jingde suddenly raised his voice, and said inexplicably sadly:

"The minister followed His Majesty to conquer the Quartet, experienced a hundred battles, and now all he has left on his body are traces of blades and arrows. If you are settled today, do you begin to suspect that I am going to rebel? ”

Before the words fell, Wei Chi Jingde took off his shirt with a loud voice, and the arrow wounds and scars all over his body on the ,—— were exposed in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at this henchman who followed him all the way from birth to death, and the shocking scars in front of him crisscrossed like ravines, as if they were all telling the tragedy and hardships of the bloody battles of the year, as well as the special friendship between monarchs and ministers who lived and died together.

Li Shimin's eyes moistened.

Li Shimin stepped forward with tears in his eyes, stroked the biggest scar on the back of Wei Chi's cannon, and said emotionally:

"This scar...... I know that in March of the fifth year of Wude, I camped south of the water. Liu Heimin challenged many times, but I did not fight to frustrate his edge.

I held on to him for more than 60 days, but I was surrounded by Liu Heimin.

At this time, it was you, Wei Chi Gong, who led the warriors to rush into the encirclement, broke the enemy formation, and rescued me and Li Daozong, but you were slashed in the back by the enemy's horizontal knife, and your blood-stained battle robe almost cost you your life."

Li Shimin stroked a half-foot-long scar under the armpit of Wei Chi's cannon and said:

"In March of the fourth year of Wude, when I fought against Dou Jiande at the Tiger Pass, Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Wan rode the green horse of Emperor Yang of Sui, wearing a brand-new Mingguang armor, and boasted to everyone far from the front of the battle.

All I said was, "He's a great horse!" ”

You asked to take the horse, how can I lose a warrior for the sake of a horse?

But you just didn't listen, and Gao Yongsheng and Liang Jianfang rode straight into the enemy formation, captured Wang Wan alive, and led his mount back to the Tang camp to sacrifice to me.

I am glad to see this horse, but when I see the half-foot-long gash in your armpit pierced by the enemy's spear, my heart hurts like a knife.

Li Shimin pointed to a scar and wanted to go on.......

Wei Chi Cannon had already lost his words, fell to his knees, and said to Li Shimin with tears in his eyes:

"Your Majesty, the minister begs you, don't say anything further, it's all the minister's fault, the minister shouldn't say this angry thing, it will make you sad, if you are angry, how can the minister live!"

Li Shimin was also moved by his true feelings, leaned over and picked up the clothes that Wei Chi had taken off, personally gave him the quilt, and said emotionally:

"Everyone has betrayed me, and I believe that you will not betray me, and it is because I do not suspect you at all that I say this to you, and I ask you to forgive me for the inappropriateness of my words."

Wei Chi's cannon was continuing to be moved, but Li Shimin suddenly said:

"I want to marry my daughter to you, what do you think?"

One sentence coaxed Yu Chi Cannon to almost lie down, although this time it was no longer bad news, but a great good thing, but the surprise and shock that Wei Chi Lao Cannon felt was no less than just now.

She is fifty-five years old this year, and Li Shimin is only forty-three years old, although Li Shimin did not say which princess she is, but her age can be imagined.

Not to mention for the time being, how noble the emperor's daughter is, people dare not climb high, purely in terms of age difference, the disparity between the two sides is too big, it is ridiculously big.

With such an incredible grace, how can the cannons of Wei Chi be dissipated?

The emperor's joke was a bit big, but fortunately, Wei Chi Lao Pao has many years of career and rich experience, and when he heard the words, he knelt down and kowtowed to thank him:

"Don't scare the old minister, the emperor, although the minister's wife is lowly, she has shared joys and sorrows with the minister for many years. Although the minister is only shallow in learning, he has heard that the ancients were rich and noble, and this is not the minister's intention. ”

Li Shimin smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything.

In fact, Wei Chi Cannon knew very well that the emperor didn't really want to marry his daughter to him. The reason why he sang such a play without a head or a brain was just to show his trust and grace. Therefore, this kind of thing must not really be agreed, but should be politely declined.

In other words, the emperor's good intentions can only be appreciated by the heart, and can never be realized. If you really climb up the pole and stupidly accept it, then what awaits you is probably not the wonderful ending of "hugging the beauty", but the embarrassing end of "walking around without eating".

As an emperor, you should be good at showing your generosity, you might as well occasionally show extra grace, and as a courtier, you must know how to abide by your own duties, and know what it means to be full of money and contentment. Everyone said everything that should be said beautifully, and said nothing that should not be said. Many things are done at the point, and it is good to take care of them.

It is in this kind of repeated game between monarchs and ministers that the anxiety of Wei Chi Cannon to be prepared for danger in times of peace will become stronger and stronger.

It also made Wei Chi Cannon understand that the power of heaven is unpredictable, although the emperor said it well, he was suspicious of himself, so he simply asked Taizong Li Shimin to go home for retirement on the second day.

Li Shimin should be allowed to go to court every five days. Reduce his chances of meeting with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

On February 12, the 19th year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin set out from Luoyang to conquer Goguryeo.

On the 17th, Tang Li Shimin issued an edict ordering the crown prince to supervise the country, and at this time, Wei Chi, who was already at home, wrote a letter to the cannon:

"If Your Majesty goes to Liaodong in person, the crown prince is now in Dingzhou, Luoyang and Chang'an are the location of the treasury, although there are guard troops, but the troops are still very weak. The long way to Liaodong makes people worry about accidents. Besides, if you want to conquer a small remote country, you don't have to trouble yourself to conquer the expedition, just leave this matter to Li Shixian. ”

This was a good suggestion, but Li Shimin was determined to make meritorious contributions and did not adopt it, but instead asked Wei Chigong to take his own official line as Taichangqing, as the head of the Zuo Yi Ma Army, and set out with him to Goguryeo.

After the class teacher returned to the court, Wei Chi still went home to retire, learning from Li Jing's later years of "closing the door and guarding himself, eliminating guests", refusing all guests who came to visit, and not asking about world affairs.

It's really boring to stay at home, so he learns to play Qingshang music for self-entertainment, and when he looks up and sees his son Yu Chi Baolin and his baby granddaughter coming to the door, he knows that his son has something difficult and can't settle himself.
