586, the lower limit of the monarch and minister's show
Soon, in less than two days, the imperial court convened a court visit again, that is, let everyone come to see the emperor Li Shimin. And Li Shimin will also give you a reply today, that is, Li Shimin's reply to Jingwen's so-called "robbing people's daughters". Therefore, many people are very concerned about how Li Shimin will solve these things this time, whether to deal with Jingwen or shield Jingwen? Of course, it is impossible for them to scold the emperor directly, after all, there is still a distinction between monarchs and ministers, and they can't scold leaders casually like later generations.
"Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to rectify the palace and set the record straight!" "Your Majesty, many of the courtiers in the palace rely on the emperor's favor and trust, and constantly cause trouble, please punish the emperor severely." "Your Majesty, many officials who were born in the palace are very arrogant, please ask the emperor to make a decree!" "Your Majesty, the officials in the palace who are close to the courtiers, if they are not rectified, I am afraid that there will be a disaster for Zhao Gao!" "Your Majesty, the affairs of the Han Dynasty cannot be unvigilant, and the courtiers and ministers must beat it well, otherwise my Tang Dynasty will follow in the footsteps of the Han Dynasty!" ……
A bunch of middle-level officials all started to play one by one, anyway, they hoped that Li Shimin would rectify the palace and rectify all the internal servants and ministers in the palace. And their real purpose is actually to face Jingwen! What is the official who was born as a courtier in the palace and is very arrogant? Isn't this talking about Jingwen? They are also scolding Jingwen for being arrogant, because Jingwen is the representative of these courtiers in the court, so the first thing they want to rectify is to rectify Jingwen.
And Li Shimin immediately said: "Yes! The court should indeed be strictly disciplined, otherwise there will really be a matter of eunuchs harming the country! So, I'm going to purge the court! ”
And those officials of the Shi clan who started the performance showed happy smiles, because they thought that Li Shimin had compromised this time, and this time it was probably the victory of the Shi clan. And they are all happy, the status of their clan is still very stable, which makes Li Shimin very nervous. But they don't know. Li Shimin is the emperor who was killed in the troubled times, where is there such an easy compromise? This kind of person will never accept defeat lightly, and is much stronger than them literati.
"Wear Jingwen here!" Li Shimin said.
Soon, Jingwen also came immediately.
"I've seen the emperor!" Jingwen said.
"Jingwen, you are also a eunuch, and you are a role model for all eunuchs. So, I plan to ask you to be the eunuch who reorganizes the court on my behalf, what do you think? Li Shimin said.
"Command!" Jingwen said.
"Damn!" The officials of the Shi clan who thought they had won just now were all scolded in their hearts.
What does Emperor Li Shimin mean by this, they said to rectify the palace eunuchs. That should be rectified by the emperor himself, even if it is up to the empress to take a step back. However, let Jingwen, a representative of eunuchs, rectify the court for the emperor, isn't this the legendary "fighting greed with greed"? Jingwen is a eunuch, what effect can he have if he, a person from a eunuch, can rectify the eunuchs? Fools know that it doesn't work.
Moreover, did those officials really want to govern the court? They are actually impeaching Jingwen, and they are even beating Emperor Li Shimin. But Li Shimin looked like I was listening to my opinion. It seems to have listened to everyone's opinions, but in fact, it doesn't make any sense at all. Jingwen was not punished, and he also took the place of the emperor to rectify the court, so this is not suing those eunuchs. Let those eunuchs learn the methods of Jingwen, so that they can have a future! Is this suppressing Jingwen, or is it giving Jingwenshu a typical!
"Your Majesty, that's not what we meant!" A scholar said.
"That's not what it means. What is the meaning? It was you who asked me to straighten out the court, but now you actually say that you don't mean that, do you mean that you deceive the king? Li Shimin asked.
"I, I, I ......"
Li Shimin blocked this guy's words back. actually said what "bullying". The crime of bullying is not small, they don't dare to commit this crime! Even the scholars must save some face for the emperor, otherwise it will not be good for anyone to fall out. Now that Li Shimin actually said something about the crime of bullying the king, I am afraid that the scholars will be blocked back. If they continue to say what they really mean, won't they fall into Li Shimin's trap and become a bully minister? There is a pit in Li Shimin's words!
"Your Majesty, the ministers will definitely rectify the palace for the emperor, let the eunuchs see, only learn from me and do more good things for the emperor like me, so that you can be reused by the emperor. And only like me can I rise step by step, get promoted and make a fortune! I just want to tell them that as long as they are loyal to the emperor and serve the people, then they can have a future and be able to live forever! Jingwen said.
Those scholar officials suddenly felt a wave of acid reflux in their stomachs, and they almost wanted to vomit. Jingwen actually boasted about himself here, saying that he had to learn from him in order to be able to live forever. When will a courtier be able to live forever? If a courtier can be immortalized, then what will they, the civil officials who govern the country, do? And Jingwen is so shameless and boastful, his skin is so thick that it really makes people want to vomit, Jingwen is simply deliberately showing the lower limit!
However, what makes them want to vomit is still to come.
"Well, since ancient times, loyal ministers came from Mingjun's subordinates, Jingwen, you are a great loyal minister. I must let the eunuchs in the court see clearly that only when I am a loyal minister is the way to be promoted, and the future of my wife and son! As long as I am faithful, I will not treat anyone badly. And Jingwen is an example of loyalty to me, so that everyone can see the qualities that a loyal minister should have. Li Shimin said.
Those scholars had a very bad stomach ache, and Li Shimin was actually showing the lower limit like this. Li Shimin actually said that Jingwen was a loyal minister, and praised Jingwen greatly. However, everyone heard what Li Shimin meant, Li Shimin's meaning is that loyal ministers are all from Mingjun's subordinates, then Jingwen is a loyal minister, so isn't Li Shimin that Mingjun? Li Shimin is using Jingwen to boast that he is a wise man. These words made the officials of the noble clan who heard the meaning of this want to vomit. I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless, an emperor actually boasted that he was a Ming monarch, and Jingwen actually boasted that he was a loyal minister. They finally understood why Jingwen had such a good relationship with Li Shimin, and they were like friends. It turns out that they all smell the same! (To be continued......)
