Chapter 635: You don't have the qualifications
Time flies in the blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, Li Xian has been in Chang'an City for half a month, and he has never entered the Taiji Palace since he attended the queen's funeral as a foreign minister. This made the courtiers who had planned to stammer King Yan begin to hesitate. This seems to be a signal, a signal that the emperor intends to alienate the Yan King.
On the sixteenth day after Li Xian arrived in Chang'an, there were suddenly hundreds of forbidden troops outside the Qi Palace, and several nearby streets became heavily guarded.
The courtiers who had visited King Yan never came to the door again, and those who planned to visit King Yan also retreated. From being a hot minister to being snubbed, the process seems to be too fast. Even Nayan Pei Lin and Guanglu Doctor Liu Zhenghui, who had been close to King Yan, seemed to be deliberately cold, and the others seemed to smell something, so voices against Li Xian began to appear in the court.
On the twentieth day after Li Xian arrived in Chang'an City, the first impeachment of him appeared after the early dynasty. After this piece was folded into Li Yuan's hands, there was no sound, and there was no echo like a stone sinking into the sea. This recital impeached Yan Wang Li Xian was born recklessly, did not respect the etiquette law, did not understand the rules, and did not know the severity.
Not many people know about this, except for the people who wrote the memorabilia and the emperor, it is only a few important ministers in the court who know about it, Pei Lian, Liu Zhenghui, Xiao Yu, Chai Shao and Yu Shinan and others. But there was no such thing as a paper that could contain the fire, and soon rumors gradually spread in the court that the emperor deliberately deprived Li Xian of his military power, and even said that the emperor was ready to take Li Xian down and put him in prison because of his disrespectful behavior at the empress's funeral.
Because His Majesty's reply was not explicitly stated, those courtiers who were good at drilling camps thought that they had waited for an opportunity. They thought that they had revealed the holy will, so there were more and more twists and turns to impeach Li Xian.
The courtiers who thought that this was to peep through the heavens and do things according to the emperor's wishes, naturally they would not know that the first imperial history to impeach King Yan was scolded by the emperor, and then drove out of the capital and went to a small county in the poor countryside to be a county magistrate, but I am afraid that I will never want to return to Gyeonggi to serve in this life. The county order from the seventh rank and the imperial history and the seventh rank seem to be of the same grade, but you must know that the imperial history is a very special existence in the court.
When he arrived at the place, he didn't know how to be an official, and he offended many people in the court, and he didn't know if he would be killed because he was casually greeted by a big man he participated in the court. A small county order, a random county guard said a few words that he was not, but I am afraid that the future of this life will come to an end.
But the emperor did not make this matter public, so the courtiers did not know much.
On the twenty-fifth day of Li Xian's stay in the palace of King Qi, the emperor received thirteen copies of the impeachment of King Yan in one day. The impeachment has finally been upgraded from some trivial matters in etiquette to the height of King Yan's rebellious heart, and it is the new official member Wailang Fang Zhengran who wrote this recital. He thought that he had grasped the pulse of the times and could be complacent by overthrowing King Yan and leaving a name in history, but who knew that the actions of these people had finally forced Li Yuan's last patience to collapse.
"Idiot!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
In the imperial study, Li Yuan was so angry that he scolded while pacing.
There are not many courtiers who can enter the imperial study, and even fewer courtiers who can hear the emperor scolding from time to time. Counting around, there are only a dozen people who are qualified to enter the imperial study often. And now there are no more than six in Chang'an City. Pei Lian, Liu Zhenghui, Xiao Yu, Yu Shinan, Liu Hongji, Chai Shao. Several other regulars in the imperial study were not in Chang'an City at this time, such as Li Daozong went to the Eastern Capital Daying, and Li Xiaogong led the army to pursue Li Shimin.
Liu Hongji was removed from all official positions and was at home, but it was because of his great credit that he saved his life.
Xiao Yu is the younger brother of Empress Xiao of the Great Sui, after Yang Guang was hanged to death by Yu Wenhua and in Jiangdu, he escaped from Jiangdu all the way to Chang'an, and was reused by Li Yuan not long after. This person is extremely talented and learned, and he is slightly biased towards the King of Qin in the dispute between the crown prince and the King of Qin, but he was not implicated because he was not directly involved.
Yu Shinan is the younger brother of Yu Shiji, a powerful minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, and this person is a must-have in poetry and books. The mind is also very smart and thorough, but as an official, he understands the golden mean. Because of the experience of his brother when the Great Sui Dynasty was subverted, he was even more cautious.
Li Yuan scolded loudly, and the few important ministers who were sitting below did not stand up, nor did they continue to sit, and they all looked cramped and uneasy. Especially Xiao Yu, his face was particularly ugly after the emperor glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. And Pei Lin and Liu Zhenghui's expressions were much more relaxed than him.
"Fang Zhengran is a timid mouse, I don't believe that no one instructed him to be so bold!"
Li Yuan said angrily: "Those people below are just idiots, and there are even some of you who are so idiots!" I suppressed Song Yu's performance and didn't make it, and demoted Song Yu to a local official, don't you still understand what I mean? Even if you don't understand what I mean, don't you know what period Datang is now?! ”
Li Yuan threw a few copies of the table to the ground, and scolded loudly: "Do you think that he is safe and sound in Chang'an City now?" Have you forgotten that he has 300,000 elite soldiers under his command?! ”
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu, I ask you, if I really take Li Xian, will you have a way to calm the 300,000 elite soldiers of Yan Yunjun?" ”
"Minister...... Willing to lead troops to suppress the rebellion! ”
Xiao Yu bit down and said.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "Are you willing to lead the troops?" Ha ha...... Do you think that leading troops into battle is as easy as writing an article? Do you think that Xu Shiji, Yu Wenshi and such handsome talents are idiot ornaments? Do you think that brave generals like Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie are as fragile as vases? Or do you think that you are better than anyone else, that you can rule the country with a pen, and that you can lead troops to be safe? ”
"I don't blame you for not understanding military affairs, but I don't know the way to be a minister, I just want to meet me, what use do you want? What's more, you can't even shoot the sycophants! ”
Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily and helplessly: "I have sent hundreds of forbidden troops to guard outside the Qi Palace, only an idiot will feel that I want to trap him!" He only brought a dozen followers to dare to enter Chang'an City, what did he rely on? It's nothing else, but he has the strength! Not to mention the more than 200,000 elite soldiers in Dongping County, just to say that there are tens of thousands of his subordinates in the north of Chang'an City! The Yan Yun army in the north of the city went south two or three miles every three or five days, and now it is less than forty miles away from Chang'an! ”
"I finally reassured him and made him feel at ease as my courtier. Even if he is not a loyal courtier, I need this courtier, but what about you? Now you want to turn him back! You only saw me sending troops, but you didn't know that I gave him a will to kill people in Chang'an and be innocent if someone threatened his safety, right?! ”
Li Yuan glanced at several important ministers with hatred, and sighed helplessly: "What I am thinking about now is ...... If some of you think that he has lost his position and runs to dishonor him, he will be slain with a sword...... I'm going to have to bother to make up a crime for you, and you won't die a good death! ”
These words are too heavy, like a knife cutting out the heart.
……
……
Li Yuan transferred hundreds of forbidden troops to surround the palace of the king of Qi, Li Xian must have a lot of plainclothes guards accompanying him, monitoring him is only one of the reasons, the other reason is because Duguxue got the news, some courtiers in the court who thought they had seen through the heavens, wanted to do something big before the king of Qin came back, and seek a good future for himself in the future.
It's not that Li Yuan is really good to Li Xian, it's that he has to do it now. Now that the Tang Dynasty is no longer able to deal with the Yan Yun army, Li Daozong went to take over the Tang army camp in the eastern capital, but the Yan Yun army Yu Wenshi and his subordinates suddenly retreated forty miles and gave up the eastern capital. Li Daozong had to lead the army to surround the eastern capital, so that hundreds of thousands of Tang troops were pinned down under Luoyang City and could not be drawn out at all.
Li Xiaogong took the elite soldiers of Chang'an to pursue Li Shimin, and now he has bypassed that mountain range and is too far away from Chang'an, if something happens to Chang'an, it will be too late to defend himself. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Hedong County were transferred to Chang'an City, but because the tens of thousands of Yanyun soldiers and horses in the north of Chang'an City were there, the defenders in Chang'an City did not dare to send them out easily. Hedong County is already empty, and if you want to transfer troops, you can only transfer troops from Taiyuan, the land of Longxing, but in this way, the army of Datang will be completely involved, and the number of people and horses that can be mobilized will not exceed 350,000!
In case Dou Jiande comes to attack, in case Xiao Miao's head in the south is hot and leads the army to attack the north, in case Luo Yi in Youzhou has no more disobedience, in case the Turks on the grassland take the opportunity to go south, in case someone in the right land of Longyou plots to make trouble...... These are all very likely things to happen, and if these happen, then Datang's country will face collapse.
Li Yuan has always been very strong in front of Li Xian, and has been flaunting how powerful his Datang is. But only he knows that this is nothing more than a swollen face and a fat man. If Li Xian is really reversed, especially at this juncture, what will he do to deal with Li Xian?
In case those idiot courtiers really did stupid things in a hot head, Li Xian died in Chang'an City. Without Li Xian's suppression, will the tiger generals under him still turn the Tang Dynasty upside down?
Now Datang's troops are really stretched to the point of being stretched, except for the county soldiers that must be retained in the local counties, the people who can be transferred now are not even one-fifth of the Yanyun army!
How could Li Yuan not be angry?
Qi Wangfu
Li Xian looked at the iron brand in his hand, his eyes were a little playful, and after looking at it for a while, he casually threw it on the table and said a little teasingly: "This is the legendary gold medal for avoiding death?" It's clearly made of iron, where is a little gold...... Stingy, too stingy. ”
It stands to reason that Li Huining, who was sent by Li Yuan to give Li Xian a gold medal for avoiding death, should not go out at this time, this ill-fated woman is obviously a lot haggard these days. Li Yuanji's death, Li Jiancheng's death, and the death of Queen Dou's family, the successive deaths of her closest relatives almost knocked her down, so she didn't feel funny at all about Li Xian's jokes.
"This brand is precious in its significance, this is the first gold medal awarded by my father."
Li Huining explained in a somewhat dry voice.
"The meaning is that it's the first?"
Li Xian asked with a smile.
"Meaning is because you're this number one."
Li Huining frowned slightly and said, "I just don't understand, how can you laugh when your mother just passed away?" Although she has never given you the grace of nurturing, she is your real mother...... Why don't I see a little sadness on your face? ”
Li Xian thought for a while and replied seriously: "Because I am not sad." ”
He looked at Li Huining and said word by word: "If I cry bitterly, if I am grief-stricken, will you call me hypocritical again?" ”
Li Huining was stunned, but she didn't know how to answer.
Li Xian walked back to the chair and sat down, took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "You mean, even if I pretend to be in pain, I should pretend to be more painful?" Since the emperor didn't mean that, why should I deceive myself? ”
"After all......"
Li Huining opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Li Xian a little rudely: "Even if there is a so-called relationship, in my eyes she is no different from a passerby." I won't pretend to say anything like blood is thicker than water, in fact, my grandfather Zhang Zhongjian gave me a bowl of water that is much thicker than the so-called blood. Don't accuse me, you, she is dead, including the emperor is not qualified for this! ”
