There is a saying that life is like being raped, since you can't resist, then enjoy it obediently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to scolding the Tang Dynasty monarch Li Shimin for his hegemony in his heart, Bai Qi dozed off in the court, ready to enjoy this fucked life. Last night, His Royal Highness Gaozong, the future, urinated three times on his bed, Li Chengqian took away the purple yarn pot that he had raised for a while, and took advantage of the rest time of the previous court, Bai Qi decided to calculate the account carefully. You must not give up the right to protect your property just because the other party is the "second generation of emperors" of the Tang Dynasty, and at least you must extort back a sum of mental damages.
When he saw Li Chengqian handing over a cart of gold to himself, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and immediately opened his eyes and found that he was still in the Taiji Palace. When I looked down, it turned out to be a small pebble. Bai Qi glared back, only to see Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong squeezing their eyebrows at him, and the two motioned for Bai Qi to look at the center of the hall.
Bai Qi wiped his eyes, stretched his waist secretly, and saw Jieli kneeling in the middle of the hall, motionless, listening to Li Shimin's fall.
Li Shimin sat on the top of the main hall, looking at the opponent who had approached him in the past, but now he was kneeling at his feet, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Jieli, do you know how many sins you have?"
"The sinners don't know!" Jieli raised his head, looked at the familiar face, sighed, and then threw his head on the ground in shame.
Lu Zheng walked out from the side, took a silk book, came to the front of Jieli, and read: "And there are five crimes: and the father's country is broken, relying on Sui Yi'an, not to help him with a sword, so that his temple society will not eat blood, one also; and my neighbor forsake the letter and disturb the side, two also; The soldiers are not fighting, the tribe is grudging, and the three are also; thieves and Chinese people, violent crops, four also; Xu and his relatives moved to escape, five also. ”
Jieli lay on the ground and did not speak, only his body was constantly trembling.
Li Shimin looked at Jieli and sighed: "Jieli, it's not nameless that I want to kill you, but the Weishui Alliance is in front, and I still remember the treaties on it clearly, so I decided not to hold you accountable!" ”
Jieli was full of tears, and immediately bowed down, thanking Li Shimin for not killing.
Subsequently, Jieli's family members were all released, and Jieli was officially appointed as the king of Guiyi and served in Taifu Temple. Therefore, the place is set up to be bound, and the left is set to be the governor of Xiang, and the right is placed to be the governor of Yunzhong. For the generals who have lost their thinking power, Ashinadur and other ******, they will make a decision after sacrificing in the Taimiao.
Since then, the war with the ******, which lasted for nearly half a year, ended with the surrender of Jieli. In the main hall, almost all the people showed joy, and the generals showed relieved expressions.
At this time, Li Jing suddenly stepped forward to pay homage to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, Minister Li Jing, has been fighting for many years, his feet are sick, and his body is overwhelmed. I beg your Majesty to allow your ministers to be relieved and return to the fields! ”
Li Shimin's face changed greatly, and he immediately walked down from the hall and helped Li Jing up: "Why does the pharmacist ask for his resignation!" If you have a foot disease, send someone to heal it, and don't mention it again! ”
Li Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister's foot disease cannot be cured by medicine." The Marquis of Meridian once said that if he went to the battlefield again, the minister would wait to cut off his legs! ”
"Bai Fengqu, is this true?" Li Shimin's eyes shot at him immediately turned the white chess pieces into a sieve.
Bai Qi replied with a wry smile: "Yes, Your Majesty! "But I have a bitter stomach in my heart, when did I show Li Jing's feet, can you not use me as a shield!
Li Shimin sighed and said to Li Jing: "Since this is the case, then I will allow you!" However, you can't leave Chang'an, I still need your help! ”
Li Jing bowed down and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
At this time, the three imperial historians suddenly ran out of the attendance, knelt in front of Li Shimin, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers want to join Li Jing!" ”
"Oh?" Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he asked with a displeased face.
"Your Majesty," said one of the imperial historians, "the minister Li Jing has a heart of disobedience. During the period of the governor of Dingxiang Road, without the approval of the imperial court, he handled the spoils of war without permission, which is one of them. colluded with businessman Yan Song to sell the cattle and sheep he obtained, and obtained huge profits, which were used to bribe people's hearts. Without exerting all their strength, our Tang army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, the third. All kinds of crimes have touched the law of the Tang Dynasty, please be aware of your majesty! ”
Wei Zheng's face was bruised at this time, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were on fire. These three young imperial historians were recruited from the Guozijian this year, he originally thought that these three people were enthusiastic and could be created in the imperial history, but who knew that they were three stupid people, I don't know who was instigated, they were enthusiastic, and for the so-called fame and fortune, they dared to buckle their hats in the court!
"Well, is that so, Pharmacist?" Everyone can hear the suppressed volcano in Li Shimin's words.
White suddenly jumped out of it and kicked the face of the man who spoke, kicking the man so bloody that his front teeth fell out.
"White Wind Song, come back to me!" Seeing that White still wanted to kick the other two down, Li Shimin shouted loudly.
With a "snap", Bai Qi knelt in front of Li Shimin, pulled his head, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, those bastards of Yushitai only know about the accumulation of crimes on weekdays, and they are useless to the country, so let the ministers kick a few to death, so as not to waste food in the country!" ”
Wei Zheng's face was dark, and his whole face was constantly shaking.
"Enough!" Li Shimin shouted: "Above the court, how can you be allowed to come nonsense!" Is there any reason to say it, otherwise I will let people take off your pants and beat you in front of the whole Chang'an people! ”
Bai Qi ticked: "Your Majesty, you will bully and bully me!" Seeing Li Shimin's kick coming, he hurriedly dodged, and then said very seriously: "Your Majesty, people who have not been to the battlefield don't know that people will die in war!" I am a Datang soldier, starving, tracking for thousands of miles, running and breaking my legs, and fighting with tough enemies, they are the loveliest people in our Datang! ”
"Getting to the point!" Li Shimin glanced at the white chess impatiently.
"Oh." Bai Qi replied honestly: "The lord of the Yushitai said that General Li abused his private power and handled the war spoils privately. The minister wants to say that he sued the wrong person, I am the one who abuses the materials, and I am the one who colludes with the merchants! As for the use of those war booty materials, I believe that His Majesty has already read the account books, and ministers such as Changsun Shangshu, Fang Shangshu and General Cheng Yanjin should know clearly. The ins and outs of each account above are clearly written, one loan and one loan, no omission! If anyone is still not convinced, they can naturally go to the household department and the military department to check. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we checked overnight, and asked the returning soldiers, every record in it is true and reliable, and there is no violation of the rules!" Fang Xuanling came out and explained to Li Shimin.
The eldest grandson Wuji also walked out, first saluted Li Shimin, and then turned around and said to all the ministers: "Due to the urgency of the matter, I and Fang Xiang, and other ministers, have not had time to explain this matter. Since some people have mentioned it now, let me explain it to you. ”
So the eldest grandson Wuji explained the use of war booty to everyone one by one, and said at the end: "Although this matter is a bit of a prelude, but later it was approved by His Majesty, so any accusation of this matter is unreasonable, not to mention that using this matter to slander the ministers of the DPRK and China is even more unforgivable!" ”
Li Shimin's face turned pale: "My good courtier, you actually said that he was not a subordinate!" Okay, come on, escort the three of them into Dali Temple, give me a good trial, and see if there is anyone behind it, if there is, none of them can be let go! ”
When the three of them heard this, they immediately collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud, and they had previously fantasized about taking advantage of this opportunity to be able to rise to the top, but who knew that the situation had taken a sharp turn, and now they have become prisoners!
"Wei Zheng!"
"The minister is here!" Wei Zheng let out a long sigh and walked out.
"Your majesty is incompetent, and the imperial history Taizhong needs to be rectified until it is better! Now you will be grounded for a month, and everyone in Yushitai will be fined for a month! Li Shimin turned his head to Bai Qi and said, "Meridian Hou Bai Fengqu!" ”
"Huh?" White, who was triumphant, was very surprised to hear Li Shimin call his name.
"You have ignored and disturbed the order of the court, insulted the officials, and although you have contributed a lot in the Turkic wars, you have acted recklessly, which has led to the present day. Therefore, I will punish you with two months' grounding and one year's confiscation! Do you have any objections? ”
"No objection!" Bai Qi knelt down, happy in his heart, finally two months without going to the morning court, brother can sleep lazy again!
Li Jing finally resigned from his official position, and now he is unofficial and light, talking and laughing with Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chi Jingde, Li Daozong and others.
Outside the imperial city, a middle-aged woman in red was waiting outside, and when she saw Li Jing coming out, she immediately stepped forward. White thought to himself that this must be the Red Whisk Girl.
Bai Qi, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo immediately stepped forward: "I've seen Aunt Li!" ”
The red-haired girl sorted out her husband's clothes, turned her head to look at the three of them, and said with a smile: "Chu Mo, you haven't been to your aunt's house for a long time, have you forgotten me!" ”
Cheng Chumo immediately shivered, remembering the unbearable past of going to Li Jing's house, he waved his hand again and again: "Whatever is there, next time I have time, I will definitely visit my aunt and Uncle Li!" ”
"Wind song, how sinister the court is, do more things and talk less in the future, don't be impulsive!" Li Jing patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said earnestly.
White nodded, then said, "Uncle Li, I will." When are you coming to Taoyuan Village, kid help you look at your feet! ”
The red whisk girl smiled beside her: "This is the white wind song that senior brother often mentions?" Well, not like a little white face, not bad! ”
White smiled bitterly, how could there be such a boast? Can't you boast that you're a little white face? I just did it for your senior brother, but I was punished by Li Shimin for a year, and I am about to die of poverty, how easy it is to find a rich woman to support you with a little white face!
Bai Qi found Cheng Yanjin and asked him to go to Taoyuan Village when he was free, and brought Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde and other old generals to see if he could help them adjust their bodies.
Cheng bit Jin patted Bai Qi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Even if you kid has filial piety, I thought you hugged Li Jing's thigh and forgot about us!" ”
Bai Qi moved his shoulder back from Cheng Biting Jin's clutches without a trace, his shoulder trembled, it was because it hurt too much, he smiled and said, "How dare you, boy, I only need to hug His Majesty's thigh!" ”
After listening to this, Cheng Biting Jin gave a firm thumbs up.
