Chapter 414 The attitude of the government and the opposition

When Du Chuke woke up Li Tai with hatred and steel, there were also people in the Chengqing Hall who ruthlessly exposed the reality to Li Shimin.

When the matter of Li Tai killing his son and begging for a prince spread in the circle of the Tang magnates, some people chose to remain silent, when nothing happened, but some people were unwilling.

For example, Chu Suiliang, he was born in a famous family, and now it is his duty to advise the doctor and advise the king. Especially during the Zhenguan period, when the wind of exhortation was strong, the ministers were even more conscientious, and they did not hesitate to die for the country and the people.

Wei Zheng is an example, who in the Tang Dynasty doesn't say admiration?

Now Wei Zheng is dead, but the wind of exhortation has not been affected by this, especially after His Majesty the Emperor said that Wei Zheng was gone and lost a mirror.

Many of the ministers were screwing up their efforts to become a new mirror of His Majesty the Emperor.

There is no doubt that Chu Suiliang is one of the best. Especially when Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu and other important ministers are getting old, his status in the court is getting higher and higher, and there is a trend of new stars in the future of the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know if Chu Suiliang himself has utilitarian ideas, but at least he has a loyal heart and a heart that dares to admonish.

Hearing about the practice of Li Tai, the king of Wei, killing his son and asking for a prince, Chu Suiliang couldn't sit still, and when no one else said it clearly, he mentioned the matter in the Chengqing Palace.

Li Shimin's first reaction was shock!

Why did Chu Suiliang know about this? Due to the almost unanimous silence of the hundred officials, His Majesty Li Er still did not know that this matter had spread among the powerful.

It's leaked!

Li Shimin's first reaction was like this, at that time, there were only his father and son in the Chengqing Palace, and this conversation was even more confidential, why would outsiders know?

If he didn't say it, then it could only be Li Tai, what was his intention in saying this to outsiders?

His Majesty Li Er's face suddenly changed a little. Leaking forbidden words has been a taboo for emperors since ancient times, so Long Yan was furious, and there were many things where people's heads fell to the ground.

Back then, Yu Zhining informed the crown prince Li Chengqian of his evaluation without authorization, originally to advise and supervise, but who knew that Li Shimin was furious when he learned about it, and asked Yu Zhining why he leaked the palace secrets?

Later, it was seen that Zhining was loyal. For the sake of teaching the prince diligently, and the sin itself is not very big, there is no guilt.

But for such a big matter as Lichu, the conversation between the emperor's father and son in the Chengqing Palace is now known all over the city, which is very taboo.

Especially if the person concerned divulges the inside information himself, this intention is worth considering. Li Shimin decided that Li Tai did it himself, so he inevitably thought more in his heart.

Of course, in fact, Li Tai was very wronged, and Xie Yi did this.

However, whether it is His Majesty Li Er or others. would not have thought that Xie Yi would rely on a few irrelevant words relayed by Princess Jinyang, coupled with the ability of an unpredictable prophet, to deduce such a conclusion that is completely consistent with the facts.

Because it is beyond normal, Li Tai is destined to take the blame, and is deeply suspicious of Li Shimin.

Chu Suiliang asked: "Your Majesty, the minister takes the liberty to ask, is there really such a thing?" ”

Li Shimin hesitated. Li Tai's words were obviously a little too cold-blooded, and he didn't agree with them. But out of love for his son, his original intention was to make it happen at all. In any case, he still has to maintain the image of the fourth son, and maybe he has hope for Li Taeshang, but he just thinks that he is temporarily deluded and has gone astray.

I didn't expect such a smart son to be not only cold-blooded, but also stupid. unexpectedly spread the No. 1 confidential parent-child of this Tianzi.

Well, the magnates know about it.

When Chu Suiliang asked, could he still deny it? At the beginning, in order to maintain Li Chengqian's immortality, Li Shimin owed a lot to the powerful ministers, so now it is difficult for him to deny it with confidence. Not to mention that it's too late now.

Li Shimin was silent and acquiesced.

Chu Suiliang said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Wei's words are very inappropriate and extremely hypocritical. Tiger poison still does not eat children, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is unkind. ”

Not only is it a loss of benevolence, it is simply cold-blooded and brutal, Chu Suiliang has spoken very politely.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was silent, Chu Suiliang continued: "Today, you can kill your son for the throne, then you can also do it to your brothers and sisters for the throne in the future, and even to Your Majesty......

The ministers did not dare to discuss the conduct of His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but it was inferred that after the death of the first emperor of that year, Qin II ascended the throne and killed his brothers and sisters, resulting in the death of the Qin clan and the death of Qin II.

A lesson from the past, we must take precautions, and please be careful, don't let such a tragedy appear in my Datang. ”

Chu Suiliang spoke very directly, even a little excessively, but he was also very sincere, he was really a little worried that His Majesty the Emperor would make some irrational decisions.

Since the death of Empress Changsun a few years ago, His Majesty Li Er seems to be no longer as wise and wise as he was back then, and sometimes even a little confused.

Especially when it comes to children, the princes and princesses are almost unrestrained and doted, even excessively doting.

This was the case with the former deposed prince Li Chengqian, but in the end, a rebellion in the East Palace was staged, which almost plunged the Tang Dynasty into a crisis.

These are all lessons from the past, and they make the ministers very worried, after all, the Sui Dynasty has only been destroyed for more than 20 years. Nowadays, most of the officials of the DPRK and China have served as officials in the former Sui Dynasty and have witnessed the tragic situation of the past, so they naturally do not want the tragedy to happen again. After all, most of them are from big families, and the world is always chaotic and not conducive to the interests of big families.

Therefore, some issues are not allowed to be admonished, especially in the matter of Li Tai, because during this time, Li Shimin's favor for Li Tai has surpassed that of the original abolished prince Li Chengqian.

Li Tai, who was partial, made these moths again, causing his image to plummet, or his true nature exposed, which made the ministers deeply worried.

They don't care about the fratricidal nature of the royal family, but an emperor who even kills his son already has the potential to be a tyrant, will he be soft when he kills the minister?

No minister would like a brutal emperor, and it is better to strangle him in the cradle now than to tremble, walk on thin ice, or rise up to resist.

In this way, the world is stable, everyone is safe, rich and glorious, and they are naturally happy to see it.

So at this time, the hundred officials and the nobles of the family had actually reached an ideological consensus, that is, Li Tai, the king of Wei, could not be allowed to ascend the throne.

All the prestige and fame he had accumulated over the past few decades had been wiped out in an instant, and had been rejected by the noble courtiers.

And Chu Sui's virtuous behavior inadvertently played the role of an agent, clearly conveying the attitude of the hundred officials and nobles to His Majesty the Emperor! (To be continued.) )
