Chapter 409: The Heart of Man
A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff.
Chen Di appeared in Chang'an? This old guy still has the face to come back?
Li Yuan suddenly felt that the idea of pitying him for his old age and leaving him to fend for himself in the past was really humane? This era is not an era of highly developed civilization and pervasive supervision of online public opinion, for a greedy person who is unwilling to be dull and eager to eat the blood of the clan, complete physical destruction is the most haode way.
In fact, the clan shili of the Qin State, over the years, has declined to the extreme under the blows of Li Yuan's spare no effort, but with the stability of the political situation in the Qin State, especially Li Ye's growing up day by day, the remnants of the original clan who had illusions about power jumped out again.
Chen Di is just one of the representatives.
Behind him are a group of clan moths, they are scattered in various counties and counties, their identities may be the father of a certain county, or the county order of a county, and the common purpose of these people is to subvert the current system of Xinqin that only appoints talents by ability and does not pay attention to the noble and lowly background.
Whether a system can be adhered to for a long time lies in its implementation.
The strength or weakness of execution depends on the determination of the ruler and the attitude in the face of the undercurrent and countercurrent, Chen Di's appearance made Li Yuan suddenly think of the old things when the Ying clan stole the palace, which led to internal turmoil and almost shook the foundation of the Qin State. For the sake of their own selfish interests, Chen Di and these people will inevitably hit Ying Yushu and even Li Ye with their ideas, which is why they will target Li Zheng as soon as they appear.
Li Zheng is not only the imperial history of Xinqin, but also the second brother of Li Yuan, although Li Yuan has always been indifferent to each other in this brotherly relationship, and has not taken too much care of Li Zheng, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, Li Zheng's identity is a talisman, as long as he does not expose his true intentions too much, Li Zheng's imperial history mansion is the safest place to hide.
Inside the Qin State. The Chen and Li factions wrestled with each other and fought on an equal footing.
Chen Ping, under Zhang Cheng's advice, led the Nanyue State to pay tribute early the next morning, as well as the wealth and silk that had been privately received over the years, came to bear the guilt, and came with him, as well as Xiangguo's wife Zhang Suniang, the purpose of her coming to the palace, or to take the lady's route, these years, Zhang Suniang in the Qin State officials. The reputation has always been good, and there is also a sisterhood with Ying Yushu and Gu Yunniang.
――。
Not seen for a few days.
Chen Ping's eyes were red and swollen, his hair was scattered, and the tips of his hair were faintly gray.
"King Wu, his subordinates are guilty, and he is willing to resign as prime minister. to give responsibility to the virtuous people. As soon as Chen Ping saw Li Yuan, he immediately cried and begged.
Li Yuan was expressionless, stared at Chen Ping for a while, and said, "Chen Xiang thinks." Who is a virtuous and capable person? ”
Chen Ping's heart was cold, and he bowed his head and said, "My subordinates think that Li Yushi can take on this important responsibility." There are two reasons, one is that Li Yu studied history from a legalist and was familiar with the decrees of the Great Qin. It can inherit the foundation of the Qin State; The second is that Li Yushi is known as an official, and there is no one who is not praised among the hundred officials, if he can be the prime minister, I believe that there are no disobedient in the Qin State. ”
Li Yuan smiled lightly and asked, "Chen Xiang really thinks so?" ”
Chen Ping hesitated for a while, and said: "The words of the subordinates are true, and they dare not have the slightest concealment. ”
Hearing Chen Ping's statement, Li Yuan was silent for a long time, and said: "Idle person, Chen Ping, I have valued you for so many years, but I don't want to, you turned out to be such a person with no ambitions, just a little wind and waves, you can't bear it, people are not sages, who can do nothing, you were attacked because of greed for ink, but you don't think about how to correct yourself and strengthen the reputation of the prime minister of Daqin, but you are willing to fall, thinking about retreating to the forest, you do this, who are you happy about, who are you worthy of, is the wife and children of the family, Or our long-time companions, brothers! ”
Li Yuan's words were frank and straightforward.
There's nothing wrong with that. Compared with the generals who are stuck back to back on the battlefield, Chen Ping and Li Yuan seem to have always been calm, guarding the distance between the monarch and the ministers, and between the superiors and subordinates, but after so many years, Li Yuan has put the phase in the hands of Chen Ping with confidence, which in itself is full of trust.
Chen Ping stood in the hall in a daze, his eyes were filled with mist, Li Yuan's words, like a sharp sword, pierced straight through his skin that was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
"King Wu, do you still recognize me as a brother?" Chen Ping said in a trembling voice.
Li Yuan nodded and said: "Chen Xiang, some things are buried deep in my heart, and I can never forget them, back then, we defended Xingyang alone, and there were tens of thousands of rebels in front of us, and we never flinched, and now, Daqin's footsteps have just stepped on the right track, and many things are waiting for us to deal with, so you just left, I'm sorry, it's not me Li Yuan, but your own heart, it's your hard work for so many years." ”
"It's not terrible for a person to do something wrong, it's terrible to dare not stand up and face it. I have never said that the king of Great Qin and the officials of Great Qin must be a perfect person, or they must be an example for the people of the whole country to follow. But what I sincerely hope is that officials at all levels can do things with their hearts, and they can honestly stand in front of those who accuse them, and say: I was wrong, and I will redouble my efforts and use my achievements to make up for my guilt. ”
Li Yuan's voice was faint, calm as a breeze blowing across the lake, but this sentence was turbulent in Chen Ping's heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
――。
Chen Pingdao left happily.
Let Li Zheng, who had been staggered with him, sink in his heart, and after listening to Chen Di's advice, Zuihou still decided to have a deep talk with Li Yuan, which was also the first detailed discussion between the two brothers on political issues after Li Si's death.
Li You, Li Zheng, Li Yuan.
Li Si, a controversial prime minister of the Qin state, left three sons.
Among the three sons, Li You was killed by the rebels in the Battle of Yongqiu, and Li Zheng was lucky to survive because of Li Yuan's birth.
Over the years, Li Zheng has been promoted step by step in the positions of Qixian Order, Chang'an Order, Changshi, and Yushi Cheng, relying on his personal ability and governance philosophy in addition to Li Yuan's proper care. Li Zheng almost inherited his father Li Si's political proposition of ruling the country by law, law, law, and severity, which is the verbal concern that Li Zheng often mentions, and now, when he lobbied Li Yuan, he used this as a breakthrough.
"King Wu, Chen Xiang's behavior has seriously jeopardized my Great Qin's laws and regulations, and if you let it go, it will inevitably be imitated by other officials. When the time comes, the people of our Great Qin will be greedy for ink, the officials will be left and right, and the interests of the country will be ignored, and the selfish people will be the lackeys of the camp, and the day of the fall of my Great Qin will not be far away! ”
As soon as Li Zheng saw Li Yuan's face, he immediately hung his chest and kept crying out with interjections, his habit. is the same as Li Si, among the three sons, Li You and Li Yuan both enlisted in the army, and only Li Zheng wrote books. Deeply liked by Lis. The meaning of Li Zheng's words is to investigate and deal with the corruption of ink and the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, which is also the duty of the imperial historian and the imperial historian, but there is nothing wrong with it.
Li Yuan pondered for a while. sighed and said, "Second brother, let's go to the backyard for a walk!" ”
"King Wu-. No, third brother! Li Zheng was surprised and delighted, and nodded repeatedly.
Brothers.
These two words, for Li Zheng and Li Yuan, seem to weigh a thousand catties.
The reason is self-evident, it is still because of the influence of Li Yuan when he was a child, after all, Li Yuan, Li You, and Li Zheng were not born to the same mother.
Shenwu Palace, backyard.
Different from the place where Chen Ping was met, the pavilions and pavilions here, the eaves and the walls, he has a bit of the charm of the Jiangnan garden, and he climbed over a wall, which is where the palace is located. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the two palaces, on the white wall, there are several doors open, and the attendants who come and go are not in a hurry to talk and laugh, in and out.
Li Zheng's expression was a little restrained, it was the first time he came here, although he was Li Yuan's brother, but he, a cheap brother, obviously had no way to integrate into the people close to Li Yuan.
"It's all my father's fault, if—!" Li Zheng cautiously glanced at the tall figure in front of him, and his mind skipped a thought, but then he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Abandon Li Yuan, do you want to blame Li Si for being ruthless?
This kind of thing actually abounded among the powerful nobles at that time, and Li Si finally took Li Yuan into the mansion and did not let him fend for himself.
Next to a pavilion in the backyard.
Li Ye, who had just been able to walk, was learning to walk, and he moved crookedly step by step, just in the direction of Li Yuan.
It's cold in winter.
Ying Yushu seemed to have more clothes for the little guy, and after Li Ye, who was very heavy-loaded, walked a few steps, he was obviously a little tired, but he looked left and right, but found that there was no place to rest, and just when he was about to cry, he was hugged by a big hand.
"Wow, wow, bad, bad, bad father!" Li Ye was frightened, struggled and shouted, and when he turned his head to look, he happened to see Li Yuan's smile on his face.
Father.
This is the title that Ying Yushu, Gu Yunniang, and Yan Fengping taught him, and in private, Li Ye has been secretly calling this haunting man who wants to drive him away from his mother from time to time.
What does it mean to be badass?
Li Ye, who is not yet three years old, doesn't know very well, he just once heard Yan Feng scolding those idlers on the street, and felt that Sister Yan looked very good when she scolded people and when she was angry, so he had to follow along.
Li Yuan haha smiled, patted Li Ye's buttocks, and said: "Stinky boy, I have learned new words, the first sentence is used on Lao Tzu, remember, in this palace, your Lao Tzu's words will work, your boy's words, useless?" ”
Whose words are useful.
Li Yuan's words were said to the three-year-old Li Ye, but in Li Zheng's ears, it was like thunder, making his heart feel like a river and a sea, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
New Qin was established by Li Yuan, his prestige is like the sky, the people of Great Qin, the people, are all proud to have such a great hero, Li Yuan's words and deeds, every move, has a huge influence on the Qin State, and in comparison, what is the Win clan? It's just that he is relying on a little shadow of the First Emperor to breathe, so does Li Yuan know about the situation he discussed with Chen Di and others, or does he not know?
"Third brother, second brother has something, I don't know if to talk about it?" After thinking about it, Zuihou finally decided that it would be better to say it.
Who is Li Yuan?
Although he has never been able to see through it, he still has the most simple and sincere feeling in his heart for this hero who saved Daqin from the brink of destruction, and for this third brother who saved the Li family.
Whatever?
His Li Zheng's life was saved by Li Yuan.
And he can have today's status, which is also given under Li Yuan's care, otherwise, the territory of Great Qin is vast, and there are not many capable people, where will it be his turn Li Yuan to dictate.
Li Yuan glanced at Li Zheng who was nervous, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, if you want to say it, just say it, if you don't want to say it, then you don't need to say it." ”
Li Zhengchang took a breath and said: "King Wu, this time to thoroughly investigate Chen Xiang's greed for ink, the Imperial History Mansion, as well as some officials in the court, are involved, and the government is confused by fame and fortune, and also participates in it, and now he has come to his senses and decided to admit to King Wu that there are illegal things in it, and I also ask the Tingwei Mansion to punish it!" ”
As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking, he began to tell the previous plans with Chen Di, Guan Yue and others one by one, and these details were frankly admitted by his parties, which was naturally much more than Yan Le's people secretly probed.
How did Chen Di contact Li Zheng?
This question has always been deposited in Li Yuan's heart, and it is difficult for Yan Le's people to find out the real situation, and through Li Zheng's narration, Li Yuan finally knows the truth.
Chen Di was demoted to a commoner, and the Zongtian enjoyed by his family for generations was also nationalized, and the Chen family, with more than 300 people, also lost their abundant life because of this great change.
Originally, what they contacted at the beginning was Feng Xuan, the son of Feng Quji and Feng Zai, and Chen Di also intended to be a matchmaker to give Feng Xuan a beautiful girl of the Chen family as a concubine, but later Feng Xuan had been stationed far away in Jingnan, and Chen Di saw that there was not much benefit in wooing Feng, so he deliberately aimed at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng has married a lady, and is a princess, but after the second emperor Hu Hai ascended the throne, Li Zheng's wife was given poisoned wine and unfortunately died, and then, because of the turbulent situation in the Qin State, Li Zheng also had no idea of remarrying for the time being, and after arriving in Chang'an, Li Zheng's status rose again and again, which made him want to marry a wife again.
The Chen family has always been married to the surname Win, and the upbringing and bearing of the women in the clan are not something that ordinary small families can have.
In this way, Chen Di, an old guy from his grandfather's generation, relied on the old to buy the old and became a distinguished guest of the Imperial History Mansion, if Li Zheng didn't listen to his words, what he was waiting for would be the result of the restless house. (To be continued......)
