Chapter 239: The overall situation is important
Cen Wenwen, the head of the Southern Shi clan, has a sense of gratitude to Li Xuan, and it was Li Xuan who repeatedly recommended him to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and he entered the Tang Dynasty. Li Xuan has the grace of knowing Cen Wenwen, Cen Wenwen is also a grateful person, just after becoming an official, he visited Li Xuan for the first time and expressed his gratitude to Li Xuan, after that, Cen Wenwen often walked around Li Xuan's mansion, both of them were resourceful people, and gradually the two became friends.
In front of the bookcase, Cen Wenwen said to Li Xuan: "I hope that King Yong'an can explain to the southern scholars in front of the Tang Emperor." The matter of sealing the prime minister can be left to His Majesty's disposal, but His Majesty cannot be angry with the entire Southern Shi clan because the sealing of the prime minister is the last head of the Southern Shi clan. ”
Li Xuan opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Cen, did your Southern Shi clan participate in Feng Deyi's plan in the Xuanwu Gate Change?" ”
Cen Wenwen shook his head sincerely and said, "I don't know about this. You also know that when I entered the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanwumen Incident had already happened, and His Majesty the Emperor had become the crown prince in power. The previous main thing was to seal the prime minister, and he didn't tell me a lot of things. ”
Li Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Cen, you don't even know whether the Southern Shi clan participated in Feng Deyi's plan?" How can you ask me to explain it to you in front of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, I am in my current situation, you don't know that His Majesty the Tang Emperor is very jealous of me, it can be said that the most feared people in the whole world of His Majesty the Tang Emperor are me and Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary country. I'm still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I can't protect myself, so how can I save your southern scholars? ”
Cen Wenwen said: "King Yong'an, in fact, you and I both know in our hearts that on the surface, His Majesty the Tang Emperor is very jealous of you, but in fact, you are the most trusted advisor of His Majesty the Tang Emperor. It's just that your resourcefulness and variety of means make Your Majesty feel that you can't be controlled, so you are jealous, but your words. As long as it is beneficial to the Datang Dynasty and the Datang Society, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely listen to it and will definitely implement it according to your suggestions. After such a long period of contact, I found that you are the one who most hopes that Datang will be stable and strong, although I don't know if you have other plans. If Your Majesty is angry with my southern scholar clan because of the matter of sealing the prime minister, it will certainly be detrimental to my southern scholar clan, but for the entire Tang Sheji. It will also be very disadvantageous. Although my southern scholar clan is weak, but after all, my southern scholar clan is one of the three major political forces in the world, and Jiangnan and Huainan still have great influence in the entire southern part of the Tang Dynasty. The wealthy clan of Shandong can support Liu Heimin in Henan and Hebei, and my southern scholar clan also has this strength and the ability to support a person in the south. Now the biggest opponent of the Tang Dynasty is not my southern scholar clan but the Turkic people in the north, if King Yong'an can persuade His Majesty the Tang Emperor to open up to my southern scholar clan and no longer pursue the matter of the prime minister, my southern scholar clan is willing to fully assist His Majesty the current Tang Emperor. Completely defeat the barbarian Turks. ”
Li Xuan's face was pensive, and he said, "If Your Majesty wants to insist on pursuing Feng Deyi's matter, what if you want to investigate it to the end?" ”
Cen Wenwen replied resolutely: "Then my southern scholar clan can only part ways with Datang and fight to the death." It's a lose-lose situation. ”
Li Xuan looked at Cen Wenwen in surprise. He wanted to see something from Cen Wenwen's actions.
Cen Wenwen's expression calmly accepted Li Xuan's gaze, and there was a kind of determination and stubbornness in his eyes.
After a long silence. Li Xuan still sat in his place, silently thinking and weighing the benefits and disadvantages, while Cen Wenwen bowed. Left Li Xuan's hermitage.
Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is the residence of Cen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen and Xiao Yu sat opposite each other.
Xiao Yu asked in a low voice, "Lord Cen, will this King Yong'an say something for my southern clan?" Will the Tang Emperor Li Shimin not delve into the case of Feng Xiang? ”
Cen Wenwen said slowly: "Don't worry, Lord Xiao, King Yong'an will definitely say something for my southern Shi clan, and Tang Emperor Li Shimin will definitely not delve into the case of Feng Xiang, and will not involve my southern Shi clan." This time, Feng Xiang was too careless, how could he not think too much about getting rid of Zhang Ping, so that Zhang Ping finally escaped to His Majesty the Tang Emperor? We can't keep it, we just hope that things don't expand and affect my southern scholars. Now, not only the Tang Emperor and the King of Yong'an, but even the ministers of the court know in their hearts that the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the Turks, and the next time you meet the Turks, it will be a decisive battle, that is, either you die or I live. As long as you have some political minds, you will understand that it is inappropriate for the Tang Dynasty to investigate the case of the prime minister and be hostile to the southern scholar clan, one of the three major political forces in the world, so even if His Majesty the Tang Emperor has great doubts and unwillingness, he must focus on the overall situation, stop the in-depth study of the prime minister, and investigate the southern scholar clan in my country. ”
In Taiji Palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and Yong'an King Li Xuan stood beside Tang Emperor Li Shimin.
Li Xuan said to Li Shimin: "The matter of Feng Deyi, please let it go and don't dig into it." ”
Tang Emperor Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan in surprise, he couldn't understand why Li Xuan wanted to mention Feng Deyi to speak?
Li Xuan saw the doubts of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that His Majesty has doubts in his heart, and he has his own speculations and questions about Feng Deyi's affairs. But now that I want to check, I can't find anything. Feng Yandao, the son of Feng Deyi, after informing His Majesty of Feng Deyi's death, distributed the book "Feng Deyi's Autobiography" in the hands of high-ranking officials above the third rank in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, so as to win the sympathy and pity of the officials. If Your Majesty delves into it, the officials will definitely feel that Your Majesty is too demanding of his subordinates, which is very detrimental to His Majesty's prestige; In addition, Feng Yandao's move must be Feng Deyi's deathbed arrangement, Feng Deyi and the forces behind him must have made some preparations, the clues that should be cut off, they are afraid that they will not hesitate to cut off, and the people who should be eliminated, they will also be ruthlessly eliminated, so even if His Majesty wants to investigate, I am afraid that he will not be able to find out anything; The most important point is that the biggest enemy of my Datang is the Turks, not the southern scholars, at this time we should unite the various forces of our Datang to build the Datang and prepare for a decisive battle with the Turks in a few years. ”
Tang Emperor Li Shimin was pensive, he was thinking about every word Li Xuan said. After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin said: "I can not investigate, but this southern scholar clan has ill intentions, what should I do?" ”
Li Xuan said respectfully: "A person's deeds, as long as he does it, will inevitably leave a mark, even if he hides it smartly, it will always be known." It's like Feng Deyi's life was cautious and cautious, and he secretly planned for a long time, but in the end he couldn't hide the fact that the Xuanwumen Revolution supported King Xicheng and Hailing King Yuanji. For the Southern Scholars, His Majesty should be careful. Chen believes that one day, all the things done by the southern scholars will inevitably be revealed to the world. ”
Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty nodded yes, determined to focus on the overall situation and no longer pursue Feng Deyi's affairs in depth. (To be continued......)
