Chapter 177: Seventy Birthdays
When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Cen Wenwen come up with a recital, he knew that Cen Wenwen had been carefully prepared in advance, and Cen Wenwen must have calculated that he and his uncle Gao Shilian would go to fight for the position of Shangshu Ling. With the eldest grandson Wuji's understanding of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin, Li Shimin will definitely agree with Cen Wenwen's speech, be able to restrain his courtiers, and give himself and his descendants greater authority, which is something that Li Shimin dreams of and wants to do but has no way to do for the time being, and Cen Wenwen is suppressing himself and his uncle at the same time, making such a thing a reality.
As expected by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin took Cen Wen's recital and said happily: "Quasi-play." It is rare for Cen Wenwen to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and he is sincere. ”
Hearing the Tang Emperor Li Shimin's evaluation of Cen Wenwen, Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji both felt cold, and Gao Shilian even felt like he had fallen into an ice cave all of a sudden, and he was in a cold war. The Tang Emperor praised Cen Wenwen, which means that this Shangshu Ling dispute has a final evaluation: Cen Wenwen is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and is sincere. Cen Wenwen is right, then the corresponding Gao Shilian is wrong, since they are wrong, they must admit punishment, but there are big mistakes and small mistakes; There is a big penalty and a small punishment; The Tang Emperor Li Shimin has not yet given his opinion.
Just as the eldest grandson Wuji was worried about before, he and his uncle Gao Shilian fought for the position of Shang Shuling, which was originally a taboo thing, but now it depends on how Li Shimin evaluates it. In a big way, it is a son of heaven, trying to get involved in the imperial power, and having a heart of disobedience, which is enough to rob the family and destroy the clan.
And the secretary and supervisor Xiao Yu heard the Tang Emperor Li Shimin's evaluation of Cen Wenwen, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he knew that in this battle of Shangshu Ling, Cen Wenwen won, and the mysterious helper that Cen Wenwen proposed before was Li Shimin, the son of today. The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty supported Cen Wenwen, so Cen Wenwen won very thoroughly.
After the next dynasty, Xiao Yu and Cen Wenwen went to Feng Deyi's mansion together, while Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji knelt down in front of the Taiji Palace and pleaded guilty to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.
The mansion of Feng Deyi in the Tang Dynasty.
In the bedroom, after listening to Xiao Yu's account of the situation in the early dynasty, Feng Deyi happily sat up on the bed and said, "Okay, great." Text, you're doing a good job. Being able to stir up Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji's plot to win over my Tang Shangshu Ling is amazing, it's really powerful. ”
Cen Wenwen looked calm, and said with regret: "I originally wanted to take revenge on the eldest grandson Wuji, but I didn't expect to encounter Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji plotting against my Tang Shangshu Ling, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't suffer much loss, but Gao Shilian blocked an arrow for him." In the future, if I want to take revenge on the eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely be vigilant, and my plan needs to be more careful and thorough. This opportunity was used on Gao Shilian's body, which is a pity. ”
Feng Deyi comforted Cen Wenwen and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity. My nephew's family is close to each other, and I still have tendons when I break my bones. After your trouble, Gao Shilian was definitely blocked from Shangshu's choice, which disrupted the layout of the eldest grandson Wuji and the Guanlong aristocratic group. This nest of gas, his eldest grandson Wuji, can be regarded as a complete bad breath for the old man. I have to say, your plan this time is really exciting, first of all, Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji will go to fight for the position of Shang Shuling, and they made preparations in advance and ambushed them; After that, Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji were introduced to the heart of disobedience because of careless carelessness, and then the big hat that had no heaven and tried to get involved in the imperial power was vigorously buckled on Gao Shilian's head, and finally, put forward a solution, induce him to benefit, let His Majesty stand with you, make a judgment, and completely suppress Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji. ”
Cen Wenwen didn't show any smugness after hearing this, but asked with a little worry: "I heard that after the next dynasty, Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji went to the gate of Taiji Palace together, knelt down and pleaded guilty to Your Majesty, but I don't know how Your Majesty will punish you?" ”
Xiao Yu also said worriedly: "Yes, although Gao Shilian and the eldest grandson Wuji have done something taboo, but this punishment can be big or small, with my understanding of His Majesty's emotional nature, I think this matter will eventually lift the board high and fall gently, and it will not be resolved in the end." ”
Feng Deyi did not respond to Xiao Yu, but looked at Cen Wenwen with interest. After looking at it for a long time, he pointed at Cen Wenwen with his finger, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "You kid, you just took advantage of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now you are beating the old man's idea again." It's part of your plan. Okay, then the old man will help you, beat Gao Shilian, a water dog, and completely drive him out of the imperial capital Chang'an. First, to make a name for you, and second, to make his eldest grandson Wuji feel more uncomfortable, so that he can understand the fate of going against me. ”
Feng Deyi summoned his housekeeper and said: "Go and inform all the princes in Beijing, all the ministers and ministers, the heads of the families, the heads of the families, and the civil and military officials, just say that tomorrow is the 70th birthday of the old man, and I hope they will come to cheer and congratulate." ”
The housekeeper asked suspiciously, "My lord, isn't your seventieth birthday still a few months away?" ”
Feng Deyi said with a displeased face: "Do what I tell you to do, don't ask too much, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't ask." ”
The butler didn't dare to speak, so he left in a hurry and went to decorate.
On the second day, Feng Deyi's mansion was decorated with lights, crowded with people, and it was very lively. In accordance with Feng Deyi's instructions, the housekeeper invited all the people with heads and faces in Chang'an, and only sent out more than 1,000 invitations for his birthday, which led to a long queue of gifts at the door, and the servants who were so busy that the servants of the Fengfu did not even have time to drink water and eat, and the gifts could not be put in the house, and they were placed under the hall corridor, which was still piled up. There were more than 100 tables of banquets in the courtyard of the mansion, and only the guests could sit down.
Early in the morning, Feng Deyi was neatly dressed and waited at the gate with the support of Cen Wenwen.
Looking at Feng Deyi, who was not completely cured and his body was trembling, Cen Wenwen said with a unbearable face: "Feng Xiang, today is your seventieth birthday, you don't have to be like this, just sit in the hall." ”
Feng Deyi said stubbornly: "My body, I know. I don't have much longevity, if I can do something for you, you will have a lot less trouble in the future. ”
Cen Wenwen said with concern: "But, Feng Xiang? ”
Feng Deyi said stubbornly: "It's okay, I'm fine." I'm old, and that's the only thing I can do for you. ”
Cen Wenwen shook his head helplessly, personally moved a high-backed chair, and let Feng Deyi sit down whenever there were few people.
