"The eldest grandson Shunde's eldest grandson Anye made friends carelessly, made a traitor by mistake, interceded by the queen, and in accordance with the system of my Tang Dynasty's relatives, he was removed from the post of general of Zuo Xiaowei of the eldest grandson Shunde, and removed the post of general of the eldest grandson Anye, and made him go home to reflect. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Shimin issued this order, which can be regarded as a reflection on the collusion between the eldest grandson Anye and the eldest grandson Shunde to Li Xiaochang's rebellion. And Li Shimin's meaning is that this is the end, don't continue to implicate. And below, Shang Shu Youcheng Wei was a little depressed. This time, their Wei family planned to attack the eldest grandson's family, and then hoped that by making a big deal about this matter, they would force Empress Changsun to take the initiative to "resign", so that they Wei Guifei could also take over the harem. Even if he takes a step back, Li Shimin issued an order to protect Empress Changsun to death, but after this case of "rebellion" by the eldest grandson's family, the majesty of Empress Changsun will inevitably be swept away, so that she will definitely not be able to manage effectively in the harem. When the time comes, as the daughter of the Wei family, Wei Jue, the noble concubine, can take advantage of the power of the queen. Although she may not be able to obtain the title of real queen, she can definitely control the real power of the harem. Because the eldest grandson's family was originally not deep, it was completely relying on Li Shimin's favor and the help of the so-called patriarchal system that she sat in the position of queen. If she makes a mistake, even if the eldest grandson queen barely stays in the position of queen, she will be swept away in the harem.

And this time, in fact, I hope to force Empress Changsun to take the initiative to "resign", even if she can't be forced to "resign", then she will be swept away by her majesty, and she will not be able to dominate the harem mother world. But the Wei family's plan has not yet reached its peak, and it has just started, but it was cut off by Li Shimin. It's like a car that has started and accelerated to the top, and whoever stops it will almost be killed. However, if the car has just started and has not yet started to accelerate, I am afraid it will be easy to stop him. Now Li Shimin is also quick to cut through the mess, and he doesn't wait for these people of the Wei family to make the atmosphere warmer, and directly give the punishment of the removal of the eldest grandson Anye and the eldest grandson Shunde, so if the Wei family continues to talk about things with this reason, it is obviously to overturn the definition of the emperor. They wouldn't dare to do such a stupid thing. Now that Li Shimin has ordered the order, the plan that the Wei family has just started has not really begun to reach its peak, and it was blocked at the beginning.

And they have no excuse to say something, so naturally they can't threaten the status of the eldest grandson queen, which makes the Wei family very depressed. The position of the queen of the eldest grandson is simply a very important position, who makes the eldest grandson's family not deep. Although Empress Changsun reluctantly borrowed the emperor's feelings and patriarchal system to sit in the position of queen, the background behind it is not deep and can be easily overthrown. At least, the status of the eldest grandson's family is still much worse than those big families.

"Your Majesty, the palace attendant Chen Kang has something to start!" Chen Kang said.

Li Shimin asked directly: "What crime do you want to sue Shi Bufan again?" ”

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone in the entire court knows that this Chen Kang is "always opposed", and almost exclusively "bites" the extraordinary. Every time he came out to complain, he was an extraordinary complaint, but every time he was slapped in the face. And he carried forward the spirit of repeated defeats and battles, and every time he came to complain, obviously he was uncomfortable not to sue.

"Emperor Li Xiao often rebelled, and his crime should be punished. However, some people have falsely preached the holy decree, which is also a crime that deserves to be punished by the nine clans! The emperor, according to the minister's knowledge, when Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao arrested Li Xiaochang, they falsely passed on the holy decree, saying that the emperor had already known about the rebellion, so he took over the military power of Lizhou, and then arrested Li Xiaochang. And this kind of false transmission of the holy decree, isn't that the crime of punishing the nine clans? It may not be much worse than seeking contrast, right? And Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will falsely pass on the holy decree, and they should destroy the nine clans. And Shi Bufan, as their mentor, should also be connected. This is the crime of falsely preaching the holy decree, if the emperor does not punish him strictly and does not exterminate the nine clans, then how will my Tang Dynasty law be able to correct its name, and how can my emperor rule the world? Chen Kang said righteously.

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he glanced at Chen Kang, and Chen Kang felt puzzled, why did Li Shimin look at himself white? It stands to reason that he told others that Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao would falsely pass on the holy decree, and this false holy decree is a big crime! How could an ancient emperor tolerate a false proclamation? The false proclamation of the holy decree is almost akin to rebellion, and it is also to destroy the nine tribes. But Li Shimin was not only unhappy that he was defending his authority, but he gave himself a blank look?

Shi Bufan snickered in his heart and thought secretly: "Chen Kang, Chen Kang, you stupid bird." One by one, you uphold the law, but don't you know that the laws of the feudal era were all established to maintain the emperor's rule? The law of the feudal era was the 'law' that was beneficial to the emperor, and the law of the feudal period did not look at those provisions, but whether it was conducive to the emperor's rule. And as long as it can be beneficial to the emperor's rule, that is the biggest 'law', do you really think that those laws in the feudal period are written on paper? There are many cases of Li Shimin bending the law for personal gain, such as the kind of incident in which Li Chengqian rebelled, Li Chengqian, who took the lead, lived, and Hou Junji, an accomplice, and others were wiped out. ”

"What about Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao's false decree, but he stifled a large-scale rebellion that threatened the rule of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Xiaochang is allowed to rebel in the Bashu area, the financial and military pressure on the early stage of Datang will be very huge, and Datang will be walking a tightrope at that time, and it may be subverted. You don't know which is more important to prevent Datang from being subverted and to falsely spread the holy decree? You are such a stupid bird, you didn't even see the essence of the law in the feudal period clearly, so you came here to spray around. Now, a slap in the face is certain. ”

Of course, it is impossible for Li Shimin to publicly agree with this false proclamation. After all, this false proclamation is dishonorable, and if others do the same, it will be troublesome. Therefore, Li Shimin has been focusing on Li Xiaochang during this time, and deliberately ignored the fact that Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao would fake the holy decree. In fact, of course, Li Shimin can't hold Ren Yaxiang and General Xin Mao accountable for this false transmission of the holy decree, but it is an expedient measure. If they had to return to Chang'an to ask for orders at that time, that person Li Xiaochang would have rebelled long ago. So at this time, it's also good to use this kind of expedient measure.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to investigate, if he kills a meritorious hero for this matter, then who is willing to die for Li Shimin in the future! Although it is an expedient measure, of course, it is not worthy of public praise, so Li Shimin intends to fool the past, so he will not publicly praise or punish. But this Chen Kang actually didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, and took the initiative to talk about this, which is simply ridiculous. Now it's okay, put things on the bright side, doesn't this make it difficult for Li Shimin to do? If Ren Yaxiang and Xin Maojiang are punished even if Shi Bufan is punished, isn't it telling everyone that after helping Li Shimin make meritorious contributions, not only will they not be rewarded, but they will also be beheaded? At that time, who would dare to make meritorious contributions!

But if Ren Yaxiang and Xin Maojiang are not punished, then they will not be able to convince the public in the future! There is no punishment after the false proclamation, so I am afraid that it is really encouraging others to falsely proclaim the holy decree. Therefore, Li Shimin felt annoyed, this Chen Kang was so ignorant, and he took the initiative not to open which pot to mention, which made it difficult for Li Shimin to do.

And Chen Kang obviously didn't know, he just wanted to take this opportunity to get Shi Bufan down. Ever since he knew about this matter of Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao General falsely transmitting the holy decree, he immediately thought that this was an opportunity to bring down Shi Bu Extraordinary, because Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao General were not against the students. When a student makes a mistake, then as their teacher, it is definitely going to be implicated. He subconsciously thought that he could implicate Shi Bufan, so he came over to complain in a hurry. As a result, he didn't expect Li Shimin to look at him viciously and make him blind.

However, Shi Bufan took the initiative to come forward and said: "Your Majesty, Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will be my students, and I will never cover up their mistakes." The so-called right is right, and wrong is wrong. Of course, although they wanted to stop the rebellion, they could not use such means as false proclamation as a solution in such a hasty manner! So, I think that although there is a great credit for stopping the rebellion. However, this false proclamation is also a great crime. Therefore, the merits should be offset by the demerits! ”

And Li Shimin also hurriedly said: "Yes, it's better to offset the merits and demerits......"

"Your Majesty, is it just that the merits and demerits are worth it? If that's the case, wouldn't that be ......," Chen Kang said hurriedly.

Shi Bufan followed closely and said: "That's right, the emperor, you can't just offset the merits and demerits." I think they're too young to have experienced too many setbacks. The so-called jade is not cut and cannot be made, and it must be punished so that they know what they can and cannot do. Therefore, the minister thought that it would be better to demote him. Originally, they were the first and first rank of the Ming Jing Branch, and it stands to reason that they should be awarded the position from the eighth grade, but this time, since they made a mistake, they must be demoted by one level. It is better to let them go to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to serve as the chief minister, so as to reduce their official position as a punishment. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, just do it!" ”

"Plop!"

Many officials on the scene were made to kneel by Shi Bufan's shamelessness, where is this demotion, this is promotion! Since ancient times, officialdom has also had many sayings of rising and falling and falling brightly and rising darkly. In troubled times, if the local princes are transferred to the central government, it is a bright rise and a secret fall. But if officials were released from outside the central government during the Taiping period, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, it would be a rise in the open and a dark fall!

If they are transferred from the local government to the central government, it doesn't matter if they are lowered by a few grades, because the central Beijing officials have a lot more prospects than the local officials, so how many local officials want to squeeze their heads to the central government. Similarly, in the Beijing officials, it is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. It's a powerful and central department, and that's very important. And the status of civil officials is slightly higher than that of military attachés, although they are all three grades, but the status of the six Shangshu is higher than that of the Sixteenth Wei General, so if the Sixteenth Wei General is transferred to the Six Ministries to serve as the Shangshu, it is definitely a promotion, and even there are three grades in the Six Ministries.

And there are also three products, but the status of the six departments is obviously lower than that of the Zhongshu Ling and the subordinate servants, the Zhongshu Ling and the subordinate servants are the prime ministers, and the six are not. In the same way, if you can go to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to serve, then even if you take the initiative to demote yourself, it will be a good thing. Many people would rather be demoted than take up a post. Therefore, although the grade prescribed by law is one thing, in fact, in the hearts of many people, including the emperor himself, have long had a scale, and although the position and the position are not equal in name, they are in fact exactly the same. This situation has existed until later generations, and the development prospects and welfare of different departments are different, which naturally means that the status is actually different. And a lot of people want to squeeze into those important departments.

Therefore, although Shi Bufan was nominally demoted, he sent them to Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province, which was actually a promotion. There are many official positions from the eight grades, but if you can enter the Menxia Province and the Zhongshu Province, the meaning is completely different! How many people would rather be lowered by three levels than squeezed in, but this Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will nominally make mistakes and be demoted, but in fact, in the eyes of many people, this is a promotion!

"The emperor is wise, the emperor is magnanimous, I think Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao will definitely be very grateful to the emperor for not killing!" Shi Bufan said.

That Chen Kang's face was ugly as if he had eaten stool, and this time he was slapped in the face again. When he sued himself, he was extraordinary, and every time he sent his face, he was beaten hard. This time he said goodbye, although it seems that he was punished, but this punishment is better than not punishing! directly sent Ren Yaxiang and Xin Mao to serve in the two most important departments, isn't this a slapped face?

Shi Bufan, this is an out-and-out bright and dark promotion, not only is this not a punishment, but a "promotion" that countless people envy. However, Shi Bufan was very satisfied with this result, and Li Shimin was also very satisfied. In this way, they can be rewarded after their meritorious service, but they can also avoid the unsuitable consequences of false proclamation. Therefore, this bright descent and dark ascension is a choice that can be maintained in all aspects, which can be regarded as a nominal punishment or as a reward, killing two birds with one stone, of course Li Shimin agreed.

And only Chen Kang was slapped in the face by Shi Bufan again here, and he was pumped hot every time. However, Shi Bufan knew that Chen Kang would not let go of himself, because this guy was going to smoke himself, which was also supported by Li Shimin in a sense. (To be continued.) )
