Chapter 35 The Imperial Court Death Admonition
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the movement of the Emperor today?" Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, and after everyone stood up, he immediately asked.
When the words landed, I saw the old man who was almost beaten by Cheng Biting Jin on the palace square, that is, Zhang Duo, stood up and said: "Qi Gong Your Majesty, Weichen Zhang Duo has a book!" ”
When Li Shimin saw that it was this old man who ran out, the expression on his face froze for a moment.
Speaking of which, Li Shimin himself made himself uncomfortable, because this Zhang Duo was his most trusted minister, the imperial historian Zhongcheng personally recommended by Wei Zheng.
But although this Zhang Duo is a minister, he gives Li Shimin a headache.
Let's put it this way, this old guy still has some knowledge, and his character is quite upright, but his body is too sour and rotten, and everything has to be set on Confucius and Mencius, no matter who has done anything insulting to Swen, or something that does not conform to Confucian rules, he must play a book.
Not to mention others, he Li Shimin alone has been bluntly admonished by this old guy many times, and every time it is a trivial matter.
It was this Confucianism that made Zhang Duo's top boss Yu Shitai and Wei Zheng in the service wipe his ass a lot.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin subconsciously glanced at Wei Zheng again, and found that this courtier, who was the strictest courtier on weekdays, now had a very painful expression, as if he was constipated.
In fact, now Wei Zheng is also very entangled in his heart, originally he wanted to find a suitable time to mention it to the emperor, this is good, this product has collapsed again, is it really so simple to admonish?
But even if he thinks about it again, it's okay, because Li Shimin has already opened the golden mouth over there: "Zhang Aiqing is exempt, I don't know what Zhang Aiqing has to play?" ”
Zhang Duo has long been holding a breath of anger in his stomach, since you Cheng Biting Jin wants me to die, then I, Zhang Duo, will show you the backbone of the scholar, so he stood up without any scruples and asked:
"Qi Xià, Weichen heard that His Majesty Xià Weifu went to the Shangshi Bureau yesterday, and he didn't bring a single soldier, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he secretly patted his head and said in his heart: "Yes, I know that this matter will inevitably be annoyed by these imperial historians for a while, this Zhang Duo is really my good 'counselor'!" ”
"Yes, what? Does Zhang Aiqing think there is anything wrong? Li Shimin furrowed his brows, and made up his mind to bring up the theory he heard from Li Yuanba yesterday, he wanted to see how these imperial historians, who claimed to be Confucian masters, answered each other.
Zhang Duo didn't know that he had been pitted by Li Shimin, so he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Shangshi Bureau is just a lowly place where the palace people are, you are a golden body, how can you go to such a place, Zi said, 'A gentleman is far away from cooking', doesn't Your Majesty want to be a gentleman?" ”
Just when Li Shimin was about to open his mouth to refute, who knew that Zhang Duo continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen also heard that His Majesty was coaxed by a strange man to go to the Shangshi Bureau. As the old saying goes, 'A slanderer is like a virtuous, a good word is like a believer, he who listens to it is confused, and he who sees it is dark.' Please also ask Your Majesty to arrest this strange man, convict him of the crime of 'slandering the Holy Lord and disturbing the Sacred Heart', and behead him outside the noon gate to show the public, so as to set the record straight! ”
This ancient saying is easy to understand, which means that the person who speaks ill of others looks like a wise man, and the ornate and beautiful language seems to be credible, which confuses the listener and confuses the viewer.
This Zhang Duo's stealth intention is actually to say that Li Shimin listened to the villain's slander, and what he meant was to arrest and cut this villain, which was the right reason!
Nima, this is cut? Emotional literati can see blood even if they don't use a knife to kill people!
Originally, the generals in the palace thought that this Zhang Duo was just mentioning this matter, but they didn't expect that this old man was really more real, and he wanted people to die. Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but if it was 'slandering the Holy Lord and disturbing the Sacred Heart', and then putting a human life on the line, it would not be a trivial matter, but a monstrous event!
Hearing Zhang Duo's latter words, the expression on Li Shimin's face immediately changed, and he became surprisingly angry:
"Yesterday's incident was Yuan Ba's head, Yuan Ba has just woken up for three days, and someone wants to cut off his head, it seems that I am really too used to these imperial histories on weekdays, and I am always scratching my pigtails when I have nothing to do! Okay, in that case, I'll let you go under the knife today, so that you people from Yushitai can have a good memory! ”
Thinking of this, a cold murderous intent flashed in Li Shimin's eyes.
Zhang Duo didn't notice the change in Li Shimin's face, and still lowered his head and chattered: "Your Majesty, who can be blameless if you are not a sage?" If Your Majesty can heed Wei Chen's advice and kill this person, then you are still a famous saint through the ages......"
"Old horseman, you are bold!" Just when Zhang Duo shook his head and wanted to continue, Cheng Lao Fairy couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and glared at Zhang Duo, and scolded angrily: "Your Majesty's martial arts are comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and since he ascended the throne, he has ruled the world with literature, and he has humbly accepted advice. Could it be that just one visit to the Shangshi Bureau can deny that His Majesty is not a holy monarch? ”
"Zhang Duo, how can your majesty's prestige allow you to be a mere imperial historian, what is your intention to speak so vainly?"
Cheng Biting Jin's voice landed, and a middle-aged man with a body similar to him, but much darker, like Zhang Fei, stood up, and his loud voice was almost the same as that of Lao Niu.
"You, I'm ......"
Zhang Duo suddenly sobered up, and only now did he realize that the more he went to the back, the more proud he became, and inadvertently, he gave Li Shimin the most ruthlessly.
But now, the words have been said to this point, and he can't be allowed to back down.
Otherwise, the man he had been involved with great difficulty would not have died, and he, Zhang Duo, would have been infamous for slandering the Holy Monarch. The most important thing they care about is their reputation, and it is even more uncomfortable for him to live his life with such an infamy on his back than to kill him.
"Majesty, 'slander hurts goodness, and flies stain white'. If His Majesty does not listen to the advice of Weichen today, Weichen will not have the shame to live in this world in the future, if so, Weichen would rather die directly on this hall. ”
It's a good one to retreat, regardless of whether Zhang Duo really wants to die or not, as long as he commits suicide in this Taiji Hall today, then even if Li Shimin has a hundred mouths, he will be said to have forced a royal historian to death.
And in the unaware community, there will be rumors that Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, regardless of black and white, forced a sinner to death with an upright official. This is called 'weak effectiveness', because the common people will always be on the side of the disadvantaged.
In this way, Li Shimin's good reputation will be lost, and he Zhang Duo will be able to go down in history!
