Chapter 0361 Court Defense
The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns.
In the early morning, as the majestic Danfeng Gate slowly opened, Daming Palace revealed its incomparably magnificent figure in the morning light. The majestic palace is like a heavenly palace.
This palace is the most splendid and magnificent palace complex in the world, unprecedented, its area is equivalent to four Ming and Qing dynasties Beijing Forbidden City, three Versailles, twelve Kremlin, thirteen Louvre, fifteen Buckingham Palace.
The Danfengmen Street outside the main gate of the palace is as wide as 176 meters, with the Danfengmen as the central axis, from south to north there are Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Palace, Penglai Palace, Hanliang Palace, Xuanwu Palace, etc., other buildings in the palace are also mostly distributed along this axis. Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, Zichen Hall three major halls in the main hall for Hanyuan Palace.
Li Ang followed the Chinese military officials of the dynasty, bypassed the Hanyuan Hall in front of him, and came to the Xuanzheng Hall, which was the place where the Chang Dynasty was held. On its west side, there are Zhongshu Province, the Inner Province of the Palace, the Jixian Palace, the Women's Hospital, etc.; On the east side, there are Menxia Province, Hongwen Hall, Prince Waiting Courtyard, History Museum, Shaoyang Temple and Zhaode Temple.
Today's court meeting was held in the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Linfu, **** Lie, Gongsun Jin, Yang Shenjin, Zhang Yan, Pei Kuan, Pei Dunfu, Wang Gong and other high-ranking officials lined up in the front, and hundreds of officials from various ministries were listed behind.
Among them, the most eye-catching are the crown prince Li Heng and Wang Zhonghe, who is dressed in armor.
Li Heng is thirty-six years old this Chinese New Year's Eve, and this natal year he seems to have committed Tai Age, and he is destined to live in peace.
At the beginning of spring, he was implicated by Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, and he was in danger, and finally he was forced to leave the crown princess Wei, and he barely escaped.
Throughout the spring and summer, Li Linfu sent officials to inspect the localities, and all kinds of accusations against him emerged one after another, and his henchmen, such as Wei Jian, were belittled again and again. Many died under the rod. More and more incriminating evidence has accumulated.
Not long after entering the early days, Li Linfu launched another attack on Wang Zhonghe, and it was obvious that this was Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, intended for Pei Gong. Li Linfu's ultimate goal is to bring down him, the crown prince.
Different from the solemn expression of the crown prince Li Heng, Wang Zhonghei in a bright armor. The expression is calm, and he is completely not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
Li Ang is a civil official, different from Wang Zhonghe, and he can be seen from afar, in this regard, Li Ang can't help but sigh secretly, Wang Zhongsi is a good hand at war, but he plays politics. It seems to be a bit rigid and inflexible.
In so-called politics, there is no absolute right or wrong, only victory and defeat.
History is written by the victors, and if you lose, right will turn into wrong.
Wang Zhongsi may not have done anything wrong, but who believes you? As the so-called three people become tigers, when the time comes, how can you "feel good about yourself" be able to do things?
After the tee drum. Under the guidance of the imperial history in the palace, the hundred officials lined up to walk up the dragon tail imperial steps in front of the palace. Enter the Xuanzheng Hall and stand up.
Emperor Li Longji came out from behind the palace, and hundreds of officials paid homage, and the scene was grand.
This is the first time Li Ang has participated in the court meeting, and he has followed the example of others without making any mistakes.
After the visit, he returned to the train and prepared to watch from the wall. It backfired. Li Longji didn't wait for the courtiers to speak, and shouted first: "Where is Li Ang?" ”
What's the situation? When Li Ang heard the emperor call his name, he still couldn't react, so many people impeached Wang Zhonghe, didn't they deal with the issue of Wang Zhonghei first?
"Minister. Leon see Your Majesty! "No matter what the reason, the emperor named him, Li Ang had to hurry out of the column to pay homage, after the head of the audit was not finished, just got up, Li Ang danced violently in the court, three circles on the left, three circles on the right, twisting the neck, twisting the buttocks, shaking the hands and shaking the feet.......
Look, don't think that Li Ang's brain is in water, he is paying homage to the emperor with the most solemn etiquette.
In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor did not kneel and bow three times, and the most solemn worship ceremony was "worship the head again", after the first time, get up and dance a dance, and shout "Long live, long live, long live!" After dancing, bow to the head again.
If you meet the Zhengdan court, you will find that the solemn palace hall presents a scene of "demons dancing", and all the officials are dancing hard, striving to leave a good impression on His Majesty the Emperor.
And not only on New Year's Day, whenever they want to express their excitement, the ministers have to dance at the emperor, and they usually shout long live while dancing.
In order to express his "excitement" to see the emperor, Li Ang suddenly came to such a dance, dancing so enthusiastically and festively, the Manchu ministers looked at him and listened to him shout while dancing: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Even Li Longji didn't expect that at this time, he would come to a big gift of "bowing to the chief again", well, the victory of Shibao should be celebrated, besides, the minister's grand salute is not good to stop halfway.
Finally, after Li Ang finished dancing and then took the lead, Li Longji spoke: "Li Ang, you have repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but you are proud of your merits, and you have blatantly killed your own superiors, you say, should I reward you or punish you?" ”
These days, only a few people have impeached Li Ang for killing Dong Yanguang, and his affairs have basically been overshadowed by the impeachment of Wang Zhonghei by the ministers.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged!"
Li Ang suspected that Li Longji was going to cut himself and divert the attention of the courtiers, he was secretly frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, as soon as Weichen arrived in Longyou, Dong Yanguang wanted to forcibly take Weichen's mount, and after Weichen refused his unreasonable request, Dong Yanguang held a grudge and embarrassed Weichen everywhere;
On the second day of the minister's arrival in Shanzhou, he was not familiar with the place, Dong Yanguang asked the minister to take thirty people to Chiling to repair the beacon tower and reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
In the end, it was the minister who privately said that he moved the Anren military envoy Feng Shoujie, and the Feng military envoy sent fifty soldiers and horses to the minister as an escort. However, it is simply impossible for the thirty people to repair the six beacon towers that have been completely razed to the ground within the ten days stipulated by Dong Yanguang;
Weichen thought at that time that it was impossible to complete the task of repairing the beacon tower, so it was better to go all out to complete another tribute task, so he took 50 cavalry to go deep into Tubo to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
The ministers died nine times, and nearly half of the fifty people died heroically, and finally returned to Shanzhou, but they were even more jealous of Dong Yanguang.
Subsequently, when Weichen was ordered to go out to inspect Longyou Tuntian, he was ambushed by dozens of border troops of Hechuan in Bayan Mountain, and almost died. Although Weichen has no direct evidence that these border troops were ordered by Dong Yanguang, in Longyou, Dong Yanguang is the only one who has grievances with his ministers and can command these border armies.
In the ambush of Bayan Mountain, the minister once again escaped by luck, went to Hechuan to catch and track down the murderer, and encountered the Tubo army on both sides, the minister resolutely put aside personal grievances, and Hechuan to capture more than 100 soldiers to wait for help, bloody battle tens of thousands of Tubo army, during which the minister was in the middle of the arrow, but the situation was dangerous, the minister could not even take care of bandaging the wound, while flowing blood, while fighting with the enemy......"
Speaking of emotion, Li Ang's eyes were red and emotional, and in front of the palace of monarchs and ministers, he said with tears in his eyes: "Tens of thousands of enemies, fierce and fierce, rushed up regardless of casualties, trying to rescue their prince;
At that time, the black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, the arrows were all over the sky, the murderous spirit was based on the tomb, the bow and arrow were exhausted, the white blades intersected, and the slaughter was cut by each other, and the ministers constantly had their comrades fall down and died heroically;
The minister is just a civil official! Blood continued to flow on his body, but for the glory of the Tang Dynasty and in order to defend the dignity of His Majesty, the ministers did not hesitate, and took the remaining dozens of strong men to stick to the death, killing the enemy's corpses piled up on the city, and the enemy climbed up along the corpses.
After a fierce battle of blood and fire, finally, the enemy was defeated, Weichen's side, everyone who could survive was scarred, I thought we had won, such a victory was not easy to come by! I thought I should be rewarded by my boss, but I didn't.
What awaits Weichen is not a reward, but a jealousy that accompanies him, and it is a sword and arrow from behind. As soon as he returned to Shanzhou, Dong Yanguang broke into the door with his own soldiers to kill Weichen, but fortunately, Ambassador Wang Zhongsi and officials from Longyou arrived in time to stop Dong Yanguang;
After the victory of Shibao, Dong Yanguang was even more frenzied, directly on the street, in front of the people on the street, from behind to Weichen arrows, after the minister rolled off the horse and dodged his hidden arrow, he carried a knife to kill, wantonly slashed the minister, and the knife directly took the vital point of the minister;
The minister had to draw his sword to resist, and in this case, the minister killed Dong Yanguang by mistake. Your Majesty! The minister is not harmless, it is Dong Yanguang who wants to kill the minister first, what the minister said is true, Your Majesty can ask Yu Chaoen who went to Longyou to pass the decree. ”
Li Ang's self-defense can be described as full of emotion, especially when it comes to the bloody battle and the capture of Hechuan, people are angry and emotional. It's really hard to imagine how Li Ang with more than a hundred people blocked the attack of tens of thousands of Tibetan troops from both sides.
Gongsun Jin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out of the class and interceded for Li Ang without any hesitation: "Your Majesty, Li Ang has made great achievements, but his merits have been repeatedly suppressed by Dong Yanguang and not reported, which inevitably makes the border guards chill. This is still the second, Dong Yanguang tried to commit murder several times, but when the assassination failed, he fought with open fire and cut people on the street, how could such an official ever put the law of my Tang Dynasty and His Majesty's Tianwei in his eyes? Dong Yanguang's actions are worse than strong beams;
Taking a step back, even if Li Ang was disrespectful in his words in order to vent his suppressed grievances, the crime would not lead to death, and if Li Ang's crime was to be cured, it should be dealt with by the imperial court and His Majesty after finding out the merits, how could Dong Yanguang be allowed to kill him if he wanted?
Dong Yanguang tried to kill Li Ang several times, but Li Ang killed him by mistake in self-defense, Dong Yanguang really deserved it. If the imperial court punished Li Ang for this crime, wouldn't it be tantamount to agreeing with Dong Yanguang's lawless behavior? ”
