Chapter 6: Triumphal Day, Impeachment

Since ancient times, all crown princes have been inseparable from two points. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info one of them, the long is not young, and the grandson is not established. This is a rule set by our ancestors for thousands of years. The eldest son is the first in line, and then the second son, if there is no son-in-law, this is the turn of the eldest son. Another point is that the virtuous do not stand up. This is obviously against the rules set by the ancestors, but it is the most suitable method for the long-term stability of the country, and most far-sighted kings will choose this option.

In addition, in the Qing Dynasty, another way to establish a prince was derived, which was to imitate the beast and let the princes fight each other, and it was the prince who won. Because of this, there was a rumor that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no weak monarch. Not to mention whether this is a big deal, anyway, the slave Qing Dynasty has been in the Qing Dynasty for two hundred years, and no few years have been decent. Especially in science and technology, from ancient times to the present, China's science and technology are far ahead of the world, and once they arrived in the Qing Dynasty, they fell to the bottom.

However, the way of choosing the prince has changed when it comes to Li Shimin.

He didn't choose Li Tai, who was brilliant and talented, nor did he choose Wenzhi martial arts, Li Ke, who was like him, unexpectedly chose the inconspicuous Li Zhi.

Just because in Li Shimin's eyes, it is more meaningful to be able to save his son's life than to set up an iron-blooded king like himself in Datang.

Therefore, Du He almost asserted that Li Tai and Li Ke lost their qualifications to be the crown prince.

The more they fight, the greater their hatred for each other. The greater the hatred, the more intolerable each other will be, and in this way they will lose the real key to becoming the crown prince.

Li Tai's dream is very good, he thinks that if he defeats all the princes and presses on the heads of all the princes, then he must be the next prince. But I didn't think that Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, had complete control over the Tang Dynasty.

He can set up whoever he wants, and no one can interfere, not that he stipulates that only the winner will be established.

In Du He's eyes, Li Tai no longer has any hope, and Li Kezhi still has a glimmer of hope, because he is in a remote place south of the Yangtze River, far away from Chang'an, and avoids the dispute with Li Chengqian. As long as he can ignore the position of the crown prince, make an indisputable gesture, devote himself to the development of Jiangnan, and make some brilliant achievements in Jiangnan, so that Li Shimin can look sideways, he will have hope. But Li Ke is ambitious, and he advances by retreating, and he may not be able to do it without anyone to guide him.

As for the widely circulated identity, it is said that Li Ke is the grandson of Yang Guang, and Li Ke will make the Tang Dynasty not know the surname Li and the surname Yang. Du He felt that this statement was unlikely. Since ancient times, the son has followed the father, and there has been no son with the mother. Moreover, it is Li Ke who inherited the Tang Dynasty, I believe that he will not have a hot head, so he changed his surname to Yang in a funny way, and changed the inherited Li Tang Jiangshan to Yang Sui Tianxia.

History has also proved that this statement does not make sense. If Li Ke really has no hope because of his identity, then why should the eldest grandson Wuji kill him?

The reason why the eldest grandson Wuji killed Li Ke was "to look at the world", if there is no possibility, where does the world look at it?

On the other hand, Li Zhi, Du He felt that he was the most hopeful. Because he does not fight, his weakness. He knew that it was not his turn to take the throne, so he did not have the slightest desire to fight, which became the key to him as the crown prince.

Looking at the confused Fang Yiai, Du He smiled and said: "I don't say some things, it's not that I'm the boss who can't trust you, it's just that the more you know, the more unfavorable it is for you, and I didn't tell you." You just need to remember to be less involved in this Lichu turmoil, you and Li Ke are friends, I don't object to it, this is your freedom, but it's best not to be too aggressive. As your and my father, there is no need to hug the thighs of the future prince at all. As long as you make achievements, as a meritorious service, who can deny all this? ”

Fang Yiai nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, Yiai understands...... Hehe, in fact, what my eldest brother said today is the same as what my father said. He said that His Majesty is a person of great affection and will not treat us badly. As long as you do your part, you can ensure that you will be successful for a lifetime...... If the transition is involved, it will be harmed. ”

Du He was solemn when he heard this, Fang Xuanling's words can be said to be old and calculating, and after the final Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Shimin has always been gracious after the meritorious service, but after many meritorious deeds, he fell into the dispute of the prince, so that the work of the ancestors' life was returned to dust.

If it weren't for his appearance, the stupid Du He would have become Li Chengqian's adviser and fall into the case of Li Chengqian's rebellion, as history says.

Du He had a brief conversation with Fang Yiai, and then went to greet the other guests.

The full moon wine of Xiaobaoer and Sayuri does not end until midnight.

Half a month later, the army of the Tang Dynasty to attack Xue Yantuo arrived triumphantly.

Duhe also returned to the army to participate in the triumphal ceremony.

The battle of Xue Yantuo was the largest battle of the Zhenguan Dynasty. Compared with the Dingtu, Potuguhun, and Kegaochang in the past, they are more powerful and grander.

In order to demonstrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin held a grand ceremony of triumph and sacrifice of prisoners. All officials above the fifth rank in Beijing, including princes, county kings and other civil and military officials. were all required to attend, so that the black pressure outside the Mingde Gate was all the important ministers of the court wearing various official robes.

But after hearing the news, there were more people who came to see the excitement, and in the large open area outside the Mingde Gate, there were more than 100,000 people in the vicinity of Chang'an City gathered to see the triumphant style of the king after the big victory.

Li Shimin even personally paraded the army, personally ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and all the soldiers who returned from the expedition were rewarded.

As for Li Ji, Zhang Shigui, Li Daliang, Li Xiyu, Zhang Jian, Du He and other generals of the army, they were personally received in the court.

Li Ji's official position did not change, and he was still the secretary of the military department, but he was awarded the rank of general of the town army from the second grade, and 600 households were sealed, and 20 catties of gold and 2,000 horses of silk were rewarded.

Zhang Shigui was awarded the rank of champion general, and 500 households were sealed, and 10 catties of gold and 2,000 horses of silk were rewarded.

Generals Li Daliang, Li Xiyu, and Zhang Jian were also awarded the rank of general to show their merits.

Then it was Du He's turn, and Baiguan held his breath.

The battle report and the merit book, Li Ji has already succeeded.

The merits of Duhe's Northern Expedition have long been spread. In the state of the vanguard army, Hou Junji was defeated twice, and Hou Junji's military power was dismissed, and the regular army led by Xue Yantuo was set up to break the regular army led by Dadu. He had his contribution to conquering the Xue Yantuo Khan's court, and the capture of Hou Junji was his handiwork. After calculation, his contributions to the Northern Expedition were second only to Li Ji, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and even Zhang Shigui, Li Daliang, Li Xiyu, and Zhang Jian, the generals who were divided into troops, were slightly inferior to him.

He is twenty years old this year, and he is already ranked as General Zuo Weiwei, and if he is promoted, he can only be awarded the rank of general.

The twenty-year-old general was never left alone in the Tang Dynasty.

hasn't waited for Li Shimin*** to reward.

There was a sudden rise in the court, and two different voices came out, interrupting this time.

The first sentence is "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and he does not dare to receive merit......"

The second sentence is "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do...... and a servant of the imperial history hurriedly stepped out of the column and played: "The minister impeached Du He, the deputy governor of the Shuozhou marching road......"

The two sentences sounded at the same time, one after the other, as if they had been agreed in advance.

The original festive atmosphere disappeared all at once.

In the surprised eyes of the ministers, Du He and the servant Yu Shi standing in the main hall were particularly conspicuous.

Li Shimin, who originally had a happy face, his expression sank, and he glanced at Du He and Shi Yushi respectively, and said, "What's the matter, little Du Aiqing, you talk about it first......

Du He glanced at the imperial history who planned to impeach him, and felt that he was a little strange, as if he was a newly promoted minister.

Faced with Li Shimin's questioning, this servant was embarrassed to hang aside.

Du He said: "The minister has two crimes, one of which is to bring a woman into the barracks; Second, he left the army without authorization and abolished his public service for personal reasons. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and when he saw that the face of the servant Yushi was a little pale, he sneered in his heart, knowing that this servant Yushi wanted to be impeached, one of the two crimes, and said in a deep voice: "What is going on?" ”

Du He replied: "The minister has a friend of the rivers and lakes, who is good at disguise, because of the needs of the war, he needs to use the head of General Qi Bi He Li, so he took her into the barracks without authorization. In addition, the minister's wife, who was pregnant, promised her that she would welcome the birth of her child with her before the expedition. Unexpectedly, the war was delayed, and he had to ask for leave to return to Chang'an. The minister left the army for personal matters, and his heart was uneasy, so he hereby pleaded guilty. ”

Du He's expression was solemn, but his heart was full of joy, and he thought: "Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy......"

Before the arrival of the army, Du Ruhui came to Du Mansion to see his grandson and granddaughter, and then chatted with Du He.

Du Ruhui said this and told Du He very seriously that he was ready to be impeached.

Du He didn't think so, he felt that Du Ruhui was a little worried, and he was a figure with a head and a face, so how could he say that he would be impeached. However, he still decided to act according to his words, but he didn't expect it to be as Du Ruhui expected. Sure enough, in the court, it is impossible to put aside the fight. It's just that I don't know who attacked him, could it be the eldest grandson Wuji?

This is Du He's wronging the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson Wuji is not stupid enough to do this.

Everything is still Li Tai's trouble, and at the full moon banquet that day, Li Tai left in a fit of anger. He was arrogant by nature, and when he saw that Du He didn't know how to lift, he also broke off the idea of wooing Du He, and planned to teach Du He a lesson, let him know some good and bad, and understand the fate of being an enemy with the future prince of the Tang Dynasty.

So, he used the power of the family to find Du He's stubble.

That Sue Duhe is the son-in-law of the Zheng family in Xingyang, who has just been promoted to serve the imperial history not long ago, and is eager to make meritorious contributions in front of Li Tai, the future prince of the Tang Dynasty, and has also taken on this task. Du He's early return to Chang'an is well known to everyone and cannot be denied, and it is precisely because of his private actions to abolish the public.

It's just that Du Ruhui is scheming and has been in the officialdom for many years, and he plays all kinds of means like an old fritter. He knows that it is impossible for officialdom to be without enemies, and even in any way, there will be people who are secretly hostile. Du Ho has long been a bow and arrow, a bird, and it is impossible to be without enemies.

Therefore, Du He was informed in advance......
