Chapter 360: Stay in the Palace

After thinking deeply, the eldest grandson Wuji said, "Lord Cen, what you said is good. We can't let His Royal Highness the King of Jin stay on the sidelines and watch the battle, we should work together to let His Majesty send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain, completely cutting off His Royal Highness the King of Jin and becoming the prince of my Tang Dynasty. ”

Cen Wenwen said: "Okay, our three major forces will join forces tomorrow and work together to let His Majesty send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain." ”

In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen both understood that in addition to the Jin King Li Zhi may become the prince of the Tang Dynasty after the crown prince Chengqian and the Wei king Li Tai fought and both were defeated, there is also a possibility that when supporting the crown prince Chengqian or supporting the Wei king Li Tai, the party after the defeat will turn to support the Jin king Li Zhi, who stayed in the imperial capital Chang'an City and watched the battle, will get another chance to resurrect, which is something that both sides absolutely do not want to see at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji and Cen Wenwen They both chose to jointly expel the Jin king Li Zhi, Completely cut off the opportunity for Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to become the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

On the morning of the second day, the ministers lined up the court, and the Tang Emperor sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe.

Zhongshu Shilang Cen Wenwen stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fiefdom in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so as to benefit my Tang Sheji and the people of the Tang Dynasty, so as to demonstrate the majesty of my Tang Dynasty laws." ”

After that, Xiao Yu, the secretary and supervisor, Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Lu Chengqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and other officials of the Southern Shi clan and the Shandong Hao clan also stood up and echoed: "Please Your Majesty Enzhun Cen's request to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fief to serve the feudal domain, so as to benefit Sheji." ”

Tang Emperor Li Shimin looked at Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing, and then set his eyes on Sun Wuji, the chief minister of the Guanlong nobles, who had been fighting against Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing.

I saw the eldest grandson Wuji stand up and said slowly: "Please ask Your Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fief to serve as a feudal domain, so as to benefit my Tang Sheji." ”

After that, the officials of the entire Guanlong aristocracy also stood up one after another and echoed: "Please allow Your Majesty to approve the recital of Lord Cen Wenwen, the servant of the Zhongshu Servant." Send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fiefdom to become a vassal. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji and the Guanlong aristocratic group behind the eldest grandson Wuji, who had always been at odds with Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing, suddenly changed their temper this time and turned to support Cen Wenwen and them.

Li Xuannei was also very surprised, he didn't expect that this time, the eldest grandson Wuji actually stood with Cen Wenwen, Xiao Yu, Cui Gan, and Lu Chengqing, he felt that the eldest grandson Wuji must have reached some kind of unknown agreement or tacit understanding with Cen Wenwen, which would lead to the entire Tang Dynasty now, almost all the ministers unanimously asked the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to send Li Zhi, the king of Jin, to the fief.

Li Xuan thought for a while, and said to the ministers: "Could it be that all the adults want Your Majesty to follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty." Will His Royal Highness the King of Jin be sent to a fief to become a vassal? According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is also eligible, and he must also be sent to the fiefdom to become a vassal. Why did the lords only mention that His Majesty would send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to the fiefdom to serve as a vassal, but never mentioned that His Majesty would send His Royal Highness the King of Wei to the fiefdom to become a vassal? Could it be that the law of the Tang Dynasty will be different from person to person, and I will choose people to do it? ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and Cui Gan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "King Yong'an, what you said is false. My Datang law is rigorous and fair. How can there be a saying that people are different and choose people to act? Everyone is equal before the law, no matter what the noble or the low, the Son of Heaven breaks the law. Naturally, he is guilty of the same sin as the common people. It's just that His Royal Highness King Wei's identity is too special compared to His Royal Highness King Jin, and it is also too important to my Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness the King of Wei is no better than His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and His Royal Highness the King of Wei obeys His Majesty's edict. As a prince, he is in charge of the six ministries of the court, including the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the State Supervisor, and the Secretary Supervisor. Participate in the meeting of the inner court of the Tang Dynasty to discuss military affairs. The ministers and others are worried that once His Royal Highness the King of Wei leaves Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and goes to the fiefdom, the work of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Guozi Supervisor, and the Secretary Supervisor will not run smoothly, which will affect the efficiency of our Tang Dynasty, the stability of my Tang Dynasty and the peace of the people. ”

Li Xuan sighed, he knew that the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Guozi Supervisor, and the Secretary Supervisor were all controlled by the people of the Shandong Hao clan and the Southern Shi clan who supported the Wei King Li Tai, and controlled it. Unexpectedly, today, this has become an excuse for Li Tai, the king of Wei, to stay in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, without going to the fiefdom.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the Tang Emperor Li Shimin.

I saw the Tang Emperor Li Shimin say with tears in his eyes: "Everyone, Aiqing, many of you are also fathers, why can't you be considerate and considerate of my father's feelings?" Cheng Qian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi are all my sons, and I want to keep them by my side. When I miss them, I see them immediately. Now Cheng Qian and Li Tai are staying by my side, but Li Zhi Li Zhi is my youngest son after all, he is still young, can't you let him stay by my side and accompany me? Are you all hard-hearted? ”

The ministers spoke one after another: "The ministers also understand Your Majesty's feelings very well, but there are laws of the Tang Dynasty that are clear, and the ministers dare not openly break the law." The ministers once again implore His Majesty to send His Royal Highness the King of Jin to Bingzhou to take up the domain, so as to maintain the stability of our Tang Dynasty and the majesty of our Tang Dynasty law. ”

Li Shimin let out a long sigh and said: "I really don't want to send the King of Jin to Bingzhou to be a vassal in my heart, I just want the King of Jin to stay in the palace and stay by my side, so as to fulfill the love of my father and son." Don't you want to say yes to such a request? The ministers were silent.

Li Xuan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you really want His Royal Highness King Jin to stay in the Tang Palace, only stay in the palace, not open the mansion, and not equip him with subordinate officials?" ”

Li Shimin pretended to be puzzled and said: "I only hope that King Jin can stay in the palace, stay by my side, and just have the love of my father and son, open the mansion, and equip him with subordinate officials, what are you doing?" I have the crown prince and the king of Wei to help me deal with state affairs, I only hope that the king of Jin can be a prince of peace in the future, and it is enough to enjoy wealth and nobility, let him open a mansion, and equip him with subordinate officials to do?
