Gu said well, the veteran will come out of the horse" a top two. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Du Ruhui is not a veteran, but he is better than a veteran.

As the prime minister of a country, the means and connections he has are far beyond Duhe's.

So when Du Ruhui said that this matter was handed over to him to deal with, Du He had no objection, he believed that Du Ruhui could handle this matter better than him perfectly.

And so it is.

Du He didn't know the specific details, he just knew that Du Ruhui entered the palace that night to meet him, and what he discussed with Li Shimin was a mystery.

Then it was calm for a while, as if nothing had happened.

However, Du He was still keenly aware of the slightest abnormality, Li Tai was sick and recuperating in the palace, this is recuperation, or what, the benevolent see the wise and the wise see the wise.

The calm that preceded the storm did not last long.

In just half a month, the fierce and vicious strong soldiers rushed into Cui and Wang, and arrested the main members of Cui and Wang's families.

This incident immediately set off a storm in Shilin, and the two great families, who were the world's role models, were arrested and imprisoned at the same time. When the world's scholars were at a loss, they were puzzled.

Soon the imperial court published an official document on the conspiracy of Cui and Wang to kill the king, and decided to hear the case publicly.

If there is no official document, after the instigation of well-intentioned people, the scholars of the world will inevitably riot for it. They did not have the power to overturn the river and the sea, but they held an iron pen, which could write about their dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and the intention of the imperial court to destroy the family without evidence and evidence, causing a cultural storm.

But as soon as this official document came out, the situation immediately changed.

Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, loyalty, and patriotism are the core ideas of Confucianism. In addition to those orthodox people with five surnames, who regard the family as more important than the country, ordinary scholars still attach more importance to the country. What's more, plotting to kill the monarch is a capital crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and at this time, helping the family to speak, doesn't it mean that he is also involved?

No one has ever been so stupid as to carry such a great sin on their own for no reason.

For a time, the corporal of the world was dumbfounded at the same time, quietly waiting for the day of the public trial.

On the day of the public trial of Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu, Du He also came to the scene, looking at the scholars who had gathered together to wait for the trial, he was quite surprised, and he couldn't imagine that the two families of Cui Wang, involving the murder of the king, could still affect the hearts of the scholars, which shows what status the family of gate valves has in the hearts of these scholars.

At the beginning of the public trial, the officials of Dali Temple continued to collect evidence and interrogate, and under the ironclad evidence, there was no room for Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu to refute, and they confessed to all the crimes.

The people of the world were disappointed, but Du He had infinite admiration for his father in his heart.

Most of the ironclad evidence that proves Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu is half-true and half-false, not because of the secret letter and the "Biandove God Chapter" that he took great pains to get, but a forged secret letter and an inexplicable witness, and their testimony proves everything.

Obviously, this is a black-box operation drama, specially played for the world's corporals.

As for why, the purpose is clear. In order to save the face of the royal family, cover up the scandal of Li Tai's intention to kill his mother, and save Li Tai's life.

If Du He's evidence is followed, the mastermind will be Li Tai, who moved his mother's mind to kill his mother for his throne, so that Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu will use it. But now this way of dealing with it has put everything on Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu, and Li Tai is a pawn in the dark by Méng.

There is no escaping a living sin, but a capital sin can be forgiven......

Dali Temple issued a verdict based on the facts.

Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu were executed, and the Cui and Wang families were not registered, and the immediate family members of the two families were all assigned to Lingnan.

For the crime of killing the king, this kind of sentence seems to be light, but in fact it is not.

Li Shimin had obvious differences with other emperors in killing, not that he was not decisive in killing, but if it was not a real threat to his existence, he would not kill him excessively. For example, in the first year of Zhenguan, Li Xiaochang, the king of Nghe An, and Liu Deyu, the general of the Right Military Guard, and his nephew Yuan Hongshan, the commander of the army, were guilty of rebellion.

At that time, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and Li Xiaochang, Liu Deyu, and Yuan Hongshan came to the head and planned to rebel with the help of the forbidden army. Generally speaking, the crime of rebellion is greater than the sky, and it is not surprising to destroy the nine clans. In other words, it was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the like, and these people who plotted to rebel would have been wiped out a long time ago.

Li Shimin did not do this, but only dealt with the culprit and adopted a way that would not harm his family.

Therefore, in the Zhenguan Dynasty, almost no things happened to the Zhu clan. (The second generation didn't find it, it shouldn't be, but I'm afraid of the one percent probability)

Cui Zhongping and Wang Gu conspired to kill the king, and the crime deserved death, but Li Shimin had no intention of killing with a knife. disposed of the culprit, copied Cui and Wang's homes, and sent the direct Cui and Wang families to Lingnan for labor, knocking the two families to the bottom.

If Du He had dealt with this matter from the beginning, Du He's methods would have been very direct, using the most direct method to defeat the Xiwang family. But there is no doubt that Du Ruhui's means are better, he not only saved the face of the royal family, but also saved Li Tai's life according to Li Shimin's heart, and more importantly, he also left Li Shimin a reputation of "benevolent monarch", which increased his status in the hearts of scholars, which can be described as killing many birds with one stone.

This tactful, effective and comprehensive approach can't really be used if it weren't for the old fritters in the officialdom.

As for Li Tai, he was also punished for something, and after Cui Wangfeng had passed a month, Li Shimin found a reason to demote him to a commoner, the same as Li Chengqian.

It is not ironic that two siblings who have been fighting for many years ended up in the same fate.

The most famous five families of the Tang Dynasty were Qinghe Cui, Fanyang Lu, Xingyang Zheng, Taiyuan Wang, and Longxi Li. The Cui family and the Wang family died, and the Lu family gradually declined because of the tragic death of the family patriarch heir, and the Li family in Longxi had already been included in the Longxi family, which was controlled by the imperial court, and the gate valve family has also declined.

The thorn on Li Shimin's back has also been removed, but whether this is joy or sorrow, only he knows best in his heart.

But at least in Du He's opinion, Li Shimin still suffered a lot of blows, and his spirits were a little sluggish.

How can people be ruthless if they are not grass and trees?

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the boat was late and encountered a head wind.

Because of Li Tai's incident, Empress Eldest Sun, who was already unwell, fell ill, and her condition was extremely serious.

The imperial doctor waited for Changle to enter the palace to take care of him twenty-four hours a day, but he did not get better.

On this day, an old man with crane hair and a childish face appeared outside Duhe Mansion, and he had a fairy wind and bones.

Du He greeted him with a smile and took him to the palace, the old man was the long-lost medicine king Sun Simiao.

Because Changle's illness may recur anytime and anywhere, Du He personally has a strange admiration for Sun Simiao, a miracle doctor who has been passed down through the ages, and believes that if there is really someone in this world who can overcome medical problems that cannot be overcome in the 21st century, this person must be Sun Simiao's generation of medicine kings. He couldn't restrict Sun Simiao's movements, but he kept an eye on his movements everywhere.

Du He often accompanied Changle into the palace to see Empress Changsun, and he also knew a little about her situation, worried that she would be affected by Li Tai's affairs. happened to copy the Wang family's home, and "Bian Que Shen Chapter" was also hidden in the Hongwenguan National Library. It would be a pity if this kind of command crystallization of the ancients was lost, Du He had the heart to write a copy of the "Bian Que Shen Chapter" and hand it over to Sun Simiao, even if he could not cure Changle, he could also increase his medical skills, use it to benefit one party, and carry forward the Chinese medicine that has been in decline in the 21st century, so he sent someone to invite him early.

I can't think of the good spirit, the bad spirit, the eldest grandson queen is really angry because of Li Tai's matter.

Du He took Sun Simiao into the palace.

Li Shimin also respected Sun Simiao's medical skills, and directly asked him to join the ranks of imperial doctors to diagnose and treat Empress Changsun together.

Looking at the anxious and flustered Li Shimin, Du He stepped forward and persuaded: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the queen mother is blessed with all the heavens, and now there is a divine doctor and an imperial doctor on her side, and she can go over." ”

Li Shimin's eyes were bloodshot, because of the illness of Empress Changsun, he had not rested for three days. During the day, he did his best to handle state affairs, and in his spare time he accompanied Empress Changsun, that is, he did his responsibilities as an emperor and his obligations as a husband. He sighed and said, "I hope so" After a pause, he added: "Qinglian, accompany me for a walk."

"Yes!" Du He replied and followed behind Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't speak, retreated from everyone, and came to a large-scale palace on the left side of the Taiji Palace, where the ancestral temple of the ancestors of the Li family was placed.

Whenever a major event occurs, Li Shimin will bring civil and military sacrifices to his ancestors in order to obtain the protection of his ancestors.

Du He has also been here several times, but he doesn't know why Li Shimin brought him to this place at this moment.

Li Shimin pushed the door in, the huge ancestral temple was empty, and after respectfully putting on three incense sticks, he came to the two spiritual seats in the corner, speechless for a long time.

Du He stood on one side and could clearly see the words "Li Jiancheng" and "Li Yuanji" on the spiritual seat.

They are also members of the Li family, so they naturally have their place.

"I remember when I was a child, I envied my eldest brother, who was proficient in everything and always looked up to him. We have a good relationship, he is sensible and obedient, mischievous, and often gets into trouble.

Whenever there is trouble, the eldest brother is always the first to carry it for me and intercede for me. As for Motoyoshi, his relationship with me is not very good. He is strong in martial arts, but he is brave and ruthless, and he is a little brutal. Daddy spoiled him, and my eldest brother was used to him, and I was worried that he would get into trouble, so I often took care of him, scolded him, and even beat him. But as soon as something happened to me, he was the first to stand up for me. Although he often caused greater disasters because of this, he never cared. Because we are brothers, we just don't have a good relationship. He also called me the second brother, and he was also the brother of the same mother. But they all died at my hands, and you say that now that I have fallen to this point, is it considered retribution......"

Li Shimin only said these words to Du He, because in Li Shimin's heart, Du He was not only his courtier's son-in-law, but also another identity, a drinking friend who could drink together.

Du He didn't know how to answer for a while, but at this moment, Li Shimin, who he fancied, was not an emperor of the ages, nor an emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but a weak man, a weak man who was betrayed by his son, his wife's life hung by a thread, causing unbearable past.

Also, as the song says, strong men can also have times of exhaustion.

Li Shimin is very strong, ridiculously strong, and has created many miracles both in military and government affairs, but the things he has experienced in his life are indeed ups and downs, and they are very unimaginable.

After experiencing so many things and facing so many twists and turns, who can be strong forever?

Du He said: "Right and wrong are judged by future generations, no matter what others think, but in the eyes of the son-in-law, the father-in-law is a wise monarch and a king who can think about the people of the world." It is precisely because of the father-in-law that the people of the world can get out of the end of the Sui Dynasty and live a good life in peace and stability. The eldest brother and the fourth uncle are all adults, with their own ideas and opinions, and they all understand what they do. Their fault is not their father-in-law's. ”

"It can only be said that the power of youhuo is too big, and the big one is irresistible." Du He said this sentence in the bottom of his heart, and he didn't say it, he wasn't stupid enough to talk to an emperor about power.

If Du He said it, it would definitely resonate with Li Shimin, and he could best understand the meaning of these words.

Who has the intention of being an emperor when God is responsible?

When Li Shimin fought for Li Tang, he didn't think about the prince. It's just that as his ability becomes more and more prominent, the world's elites gather in the Qin Palace, because of his personal charm, making the Qin Palace's Mansion overwhelming the Prince's Mansion. ambition has also grown, and there is a desire to compete with Li Jiancheng.

At first, Li Shimin didn't think about it so much, he just felt that he could win the best in the world, and it didn't matter if he couldn't compete. But he never imagined that there was no turning back from this step. In the end, I unconsciously stepped into the Jedi where either you die or I live.

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the childish slave?" ”

Du He was stunned at first, and suddenly understood in his heart that after Li Tai's incident, Li Shimin already had a heart to make a reserve, and immediately replied: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is low-key, frugal, good and filial, and smart, and he will become a great weapon in the future." ”

Li Shimin said: "In the future, I will be close to the young slaves, and the burden of the future of Datang will still fall on the younger generation of you." ”

Du He received the order, and then smiled and said, "Is my father-in-law already old?" The son-in-law doesn't think it at all, an emperor like his father-in-law who has achieved such achievements at the age of only forty, how can there be anyone in the ages? How can he be in the prime of life, and what he says today is like an old man who is past his prime. ”

Li Shimin listened to the first half of the sentence very useful, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, the net is reasonable, things have happened, and it is useless to be depressed.

He has gone through countless ups and downs, but he can't think about it for a while, which makes Du He smile like this, and he also feels that he is too sentimental, and he has a lot less melancholy in his heart.

I don't know if the eldest grandson queen is really blessed with Qitian, or Sun Simiao has the ability to bring the dead back to life, or she is reluctant to give up her beloved husband, the dear and filial piety Changle, Li Zhi, Xiao Zizi and others, she overcame the call of death, and her condition miraculously gradually improved.

This seems to be an omen, indicating that Datang, which has cleared the internal troubles, has a bright future. (To be continued...)
