Chapter 43: The Mighty King (I)

"No, it must not happen!" Zhang Duo's mind flashed wildly with various thoughts, but it seemed that none of them could be realized.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not trying to 'disturb the Sacred Heart', but the so-called royal family is no trivial matter, His Majesty does not bring a soldier or a pawn, and he has not explained the reason for the fact that he personally went to the Shangshi Bureau, which is unreasonable." In case something happened to the emperor yesterday, where would we be in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Duo seemed to be energetic, paused for a moment and continued: "Weichen has been in the imperial history for many years, although he has not done anything big, but he is to obey the edict and speak bluntly to His Majesty. His Majesty just listened to the words of the eunuch, and did not listen to the advice of the micro-minister, and the micro-minister was helpless. Now Weichen is crashing to death on top of this hall to repay his innocence. ”

"Zhang Duo, shut up! Are you persecuting Your Majesty? At this time, Wei Zheng finally couldn't stand still, jumped out, and scolded Zhang Duo, and then he turned to Li Shimin and saluted, saying:

"Majesty, although Zhang Duo is said to be a high-minded person, this qiē is all for His Majesty. Just now, Zhang Duo has a faux pas between his words, and he also asks His Majesty to spare him this time because he is old! ”

Zhang Duo was stunned, and said in his heart: "What's going on?" Why aren't they on my side anymore, could it be that I'm going to make this one out for nothing today? ”

No matter what Zhang Duo was thinking in his heart, Li Shimin's face did not have half a good color, he looked coldly at Zhang Duo and Zheng Tuo who were kneeling under His Royal Highness, and Li Yuanba, who always had a faint smile on his face, waved his sleeves and said:

"That's it! Zhang Duo, since I transferred you to serve as the Zhongcheng of the Imperial History, although you have repeatedly spoken out to me, your advice is regardless of the occasion, and you have never prioritized it. As the middle of the imperial history, you shoulder the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, but you didn't find out the truth and admonished out of thin air, so black and white, you are no longer qualified to be in this position. Come on, pass the decree: Go to the post of Zhang Duo in the imperial history, give ten acres of good land, and go home to farm. ”

"Huh?"

Everyone in the court was stunned, when did the emperor change his temperament, according to his previous temper, even if he was angry in his heart, he would just scold him and be done, how could he directly remove Zhang Duo from his post today?

What's going on?

"Majesty, majesty, is there something wrong with Weichen?" Zhang Duo's heart was full of panic, and he shouted loudly: "If there are no guards to protect you, if there is any mistake in the safety of Your Majesty, it will be the misfortune of my subjects and the misfortune of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty." Majesty, Weichen is not convinced, not convinced! ”

This old guy has been struggling with this incident, and he always stubbornly thinks that he is right.

"My safety? Hmph, until now, you're still so confused! Li Shimin got up suddenly, he stared at Zhang Duo deadly, and asked, "Zhang Duo, I came to ask you, do you know who my first warrior of the Tang Dynasty is?" ”

Zhang Duo was stunned when he heard this, and said, "This, this ......"

"What is this, do you want me to sue you?" Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "My first warrior in the Tang Dynasty is my fourth brother, Li Yuanba, the king of Wei!" And the one standing beside you at this moment is my fourth brother, Li Yuanba, the king of Nawei. With him by my side, do you think there will be any accidents to my safety? ”

Li Shimin's words not only made Zhang Duo and Zheng Tuo look stupid in an instant, but even the civil and military officials above the court who didn't know Li Yuanba also looked like they were alive.

"It's impossible, it's impossible!" Zhang Duo said with a crazy expression: "Back then, the fourth prince was struck by lightning and unfortunately died. Emperor Gaozu was so grief-stricken that he posthumously crowned him as the king of Wei and was buried in the unnamed place of the Qinling Mountains. Now, now nineteen years later, how could he have been resurrected? ”

"Hmph, when Yuanba was struck by lightning, Yuan Tiangang once asserted that the fourth brother would be sober after nineteen years. I sent people to the far north, found a piece of 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice, and sealed Yuanba Ice inside! Li Shimin said:

"A few days ago, Yuan Tiangang's prophecy came true, and Yuan Ba really woke up! I'm going to take Yuanba with me and go to the Shang Shi Bureau, which is much safer than a hundred-man Praetorian Guard! ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin glanced at the hundreds of officials in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Zhang Duo's face, only to hear him say lightly: "Now, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Zhang Duo looked at Li Shimin stupidly, and after a while, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of dark red blood, rolled his eyes, and fainted directly.

"Humph!" Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and said, "Come on, drag Zhang Duo out, and when he wakes up, sue him, and I will allow him to return to his hometown!" ”

"Boom!"

Four guards in black armor walked in, didn't say anything, and directly dragged Zhang Duo down the hall.

When Zhang Duo was dragged down, the entire Taiji Hall suddenly fell into calm.

The qiē that happened in the court today is too exciting, and the imperial history admonishes a prince who has disappeared for nineteen years, which is too dramatic, right?

The courtiers didn't dare to speak at all, because this was the fourth prince, and he was very brave. If they accidentally say something wrong, they may be like the unlucky Hou Junji, who will be brutally connected with such a set of death combos, and then they will not cry at that time.

Moreover, this is for others to dare to speak so presumptuously in this sacred Taiji Palace, let alone a prince who has been silent for 19 years, even the crown prince Li Chengqian will suffer.

But look at the current emperor, Fang just waved his hand and revealed this matter lightly, how favored is this?

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sanshui, proclaim!" ”

As soon as his words landed, Liu Sanshui picked up a roll of yellow, orange and orange cloth from the dragon case in front of Li Shimin, and after taking two steps forward, Liu Sanshui opened the cloth in his hand and read it aloud:

"Yuan Ba is the fourth son of Emperor Gaozu and the younger brother of me. He has been extremely brave since he was a child, and his martial arts have made great contributions to my Tang Dynasty! However, nineteen years ago, he was jealous of the sky, was struck by lightning, and was in a coma until now, but fortunately he returned safely today. ”

"Today, I have changed King Wei to King Wu, added the title of 'Shen Yong', and given the rank of 'Shangzhu Country', so that you can enter the palace without reporting, and face the king without kneeling! Ling, I heard that under the Qinling Mountains, there is a new county post in Chang'an City, named Zhiyang, which is a blessed land with beautiful mountains and rivers, and is specially given to King Wu as a fief. ”

"However, Zhiyang has never been used as a noble fief, so I specially gave the 'Wuwang Annex' and the Wuwang, and during the construction of the Zhiyang Mansion, he lived in the Chang'an 'Wuwang Courtyard', and could form a royal palace guard army to protect the Wuwang Mansion!"

Liu Sanshui's voice fell to the ground, and the jaws of the hundreds of military officials in the court fell.
