Chapter 542: Jingshi Fengyunlu (1)
Seeing that the sky is about to be Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is finally cooled down, and there is no such heat as a few days ago, but the atmosphere in the Beijing division is very hot, not for anything else, just because the good news of the Liaodong front line came back one after another, first the prince Li Zhen broke the city of Anshi, and then Li Daliang's department skillfully took the black bone city, the two armies successfully met the Yalu River, all the way to Pyongyang, the capital of the Goguryeo king, where they passed, such as entering the land of no one, this is not the end, not a few days later, and sent back to Xue Wanche's department to break the Three Kingdoms Alliance, The shocking news that the United Silla Army completely wiped out the Baekje Kingdom and waved the army straight to the border of Goguryeo, Rao is Chang'an people are accustomed to the invincibility of the Tang Army, but they are still stimulated by this series of blockbuster victories.
"Hahaha...... Okay, good, Zhen'er can expect a big victory in this trip, I am very happy, pass on my will, tell Zhen'er, after taking Pyongyang, be sure to bring Yuangai Suwen to me back to Beijing, I want to ask this guy, what kind of mind, dare to resist my Tang Tianwei! In the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Li Shimin, who was half lying and half leaning on the Hu bed, heard the inner attendant read out the latest battle report and said that the main force of Li Zhen's department had arrived at the city of Pyongyang.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can win this great victory, all thanks to the great grace of the father, and the sons dare not disagree." Li Taiming, the king of Wei, who was standing on the side, knew that he should not eat Li Zhen's flying vinegar at this time, but when he heard the old man praise Li Zhen like this, his heart was still very sour and uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but stand up, and simply allocated all the credit to the old man's head, and said it eloquently.
"Yes, father, if it weren't for the previous time when his father and emperor hurt Goguryeo's children, it would be difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to achieve such a big victory this time, and this is all because his father and emperor have foreshadowed it first." As soon as Li Tai's words fell, Li Ke immediately echoed his words, and while burying Li Zhen's merits, he slapped the old man on the back a big way.
Look at the two of them singing and harmonizing, they are all playing on the affairs of the military state, and the ministers frowned when they heard it, but the old man was very happy to hear it, since no one dared to stand up and sing the opposite tune at this time.
"Father Emperor Mingjian, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming when I see the sky, and it coincides with the good news on the front line, so it's time to celebrate it." Li Ke and his brothers just finished singing, and Li Su, the king of Shu, immediately flashed out from the side, and also made up for fun.
"Well, okay, I am very good, that is, then it will be set in the Mid-Autumn Festival, give a banquet to inherit the gate of heaven, and I want to gather the ministers and have fun with the people." Li Shimin's mood was obviously very good, and he accepted it with a smile.
"Father is wise!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
……
When the kings and ministers saw that Li Shimin was so happy, they would not say anything to disappoint their fun, and they all praised them, only Li Shen, the king of Ji, did not stand up, but showed a hesitant look on his face, and after muttering for a while, he still blushed and stood up and said: "Father, the imperial doctor has a word, drinking alcohol is afraid that it will hinder your dragon body, you can see this Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet ......."
"Tenth brother, what kind of intentions is this? Well? It's rare for my father to be happy, but it's really disobedient to talk so nonsense! As soon as King Ji Li Shen's voice fell, Li Su immediately reprimanded unceremoniously.
"Tenth brother, where did you start with this, why did the imperial physician say that you can't drink banquets, could it be that your father has to be in charge of your actions?" As soon as Li Su's voice fell, Li Tai immediately followed with a stabbing reprimand.
Li Shen's courage has always been small, and he had already exhausted his courage when he stood up bravely, and when he saw the two brothers indiscriminately accusing himself, he panicked and said with a red face: "I, I don't have ......, my father, my son, my son's minister, my son is just, ah, I'm just worried about my father's dragon body, I have no other intentions, my father ......."
"Fourth brother, sixth brother, you must not say so, the tenth brother is also out of a good heart, even if there is a mistake, the heart is good, the father will have a judgment, there is no need to be so careful." Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Ke, who was standing on the side, stood up and started a round, but that sound biased in favor of Li Tai and Li Su, which is no different from pulling a bias.
The Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was originally a good thing, but when these sons were blindly stirred up, the taste immediately changed, which made Li Shimin feel a little stupid, so he waved his hand boringly and said: "That's it, this matter is settled, Donghe." ”
Liu Donghe, who was standing on the side of the bed, heard the old man call his name, and hurriedly stood up, bowed down and promised: "The slave is here." ”
"This matter will be handed over to you, and anyone above the sixth grade in Beijing can participate, so you will arrange it." Li Shimin waved his hand a little impatiently.
"Yes, slave and maid." The old man gave an order, how dare Liu Donghe slack off, hurriedly agreed to the promise, withdrew from the main hall, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it.
"I'm a little tired, so let's quit." After Liu Donghe retreated, Li Shimin looked around at everyone, waved his hand sheepishly, and signaled everyone to retreat by themselves.
"Father Emperor Shengming, son retired." When everyone saw that Li Shimin had given an eviction order, they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they bowed down and retreated.
"Well, you need to know, there are gods three feet above your head, people are doing it, the sky is watching, just go down." As soon as everyone stepped back, Li Shimin suddenly said something very inexplicable, which made all the ministers confused, and no one knew what Li Shimin was hiding in his words, and the kings all changed their faces slightly, but they didn't dare to ask each other, so they could only withdraw from the hall with their hearts in their mouths, and each went back to his house.
"Someone, Xuanchang Sun Wuji will meet you in the Diligent Government Palace!" After the ministers retreated, Li Shimin stared at the direction of the palace gate with a gloomy face and was silent for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth and announced, and a group of personal eunuchs should run to announce the summons without mentioning it......
The eldest grandson Wuji has been very tired these days, not only physically tired, but even more psychologically tired - since Li Zhen was ordered to go on the expedition, all the government affairs have been pressed on the eldest grandson Wuji, not to mention some unfinished government affairs every day, and he has to run back and forth in and out of the city, every day is before dawn, and it must be dark at night when he returns home, except for Zhu Suiliang, there is no one in the Manchu Dynasty who can negotiate, this is not counting, but also have to keep an eye on the princes, lest this group of guys in power secretly make trouble, so as to do this, I can't get tired if I don't want to, so I resigned from the Zichen Palace, and the eldest grandson Wuji dragged his feet and walked at the end, until the carriages of the ministers had disappeared at the foot of the mountain, and the eldest grandson Wuji walked out of the palace gate slowly, and ignored the servants who came forward, looked at the crooked mountain road, sighed, and lowered his head to the carriage.
"Lord Situ, please stay." At the moment when the eldest grandson Wuji was about to step into the carriage, a middle-aged eunuch led two entourages and hurriedly ran out of the palace gate, calling eagerly.
"Huh?" The eldest grandson Wuji looked back and recognized that the person who came was Liu He, the eunuch of Bingbi who was waiting for Li Shimin's side, his heart moved, he sighed lightly, frowned and turned back, took a step, and then stood up reservedly, and said lightly: "Does Gonggong Liu have any advice when he calls the old man?" ”
Although Liu He is the person who listens to Li Shimin in front of him, how dare he put up a fight with the eldest grandson Wuji, as soon as he heard the eldest grandson Wuji's question, he hurriedly bowed down first, apologized, and then straightened his waist and procrastinated: "Holy Decree: Xuanchang Sun Situ Qinzheng Hall to meet you." ”
"Obey." As soon as he heard Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to slack off, bowed down to accept the order, and then glanced at Liu He, and asked thoughtfully: "Your Majesty does you have an explanation?" ”
"No, I didn't." Liu He replied respectfully, and then waved his hand and said, "Lord Situ, please." ”
"Well, there is Lao Liu's father-in-law." The eldest grandson Wuji vaguely guessed the intention of Li Shimin's summoning, and his heart couldn't help but sink for a while, but after all, the city was deep, but his face was still very calm, nodded at Liu He, dragged his feet and marched into the palace gate again, and rushed to the Qinzheng Palace.
"The old minister knocks to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji walked into the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Li Shimin lying on the Hu bed, and there was a small bed next to the bed, on which was lying Fang Xuanling, who had been sick at home for a long time.
"Auxiliary, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be restrained by those false courtesies, just be even." Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji deeply, waved his hand, and said very gently.
"Yes, the old minister obeys the order, thank you Lord Longen." The eldest grandson Wuji did not slack off because of Li Shimin's words, and still respectfully finished the salute, then got up, stood aside with his hands down, and looked like he was listening to Li Shimin's instructions.
"Auxiliary, I'm old, I'm not young, the years are not forgiving, I think back then, you and I always like to swim hand in hand, at that time, I miss it tightly, oh, and the little girl of Guanyin always frolicks with me and waits, every time I think of it, I always feel like it was yesterday, hehe, old man, old minus......" Li Shimin's eyes moistened and chattered, and at the end, the two lines of old tears flowed all over his face, so that he choked up and couldn't say it anymore.
"Your Majesty, you ......" the eldest grandson Wuji is Li Shimin's general friend, he grew up together since he was a child, and worked hard to get down the Tang Dynasty, at this time listening to Li Shimin say so emotionally, his heart was also full of emotion, and he couldn't find any suitable words to comfort Li Shimin in sadness for a while, the corners of his mouth trembled for a long time, and he was speechless and condensed, just accompanied Li Shimin to cry silently.
The two uncles were sad, and Fang Xuanling, who was lying silently, also remembered the encounter between the monarchs and ministers after defecting to Li Shimin, and also shed tears with emotion, for a while the hall was full of sadness, and the sound of sobbing was endless, and at the end, Li Shimin was the first to come back to his senses, wiped the tears on his face with his wide sleeves, and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with blazing eyes and said: "Auxiliary, the person I trusted the most in the past was Er, and now I can still believe in you?" ”
"Your Majesty, the heart of the old minister can show the sun and the moon, I am willing to live for Your Majesty, or die for Your Majesty, even if there are thousands of difficulties, but where Your Majesty has an order, there is no one who will obey the old minister!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Shimin's strange question, he was shocked when he heard Li Shimin's words, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and cursed loudly.
"The auxiliary machine doesn't have to be like this, I can trust it, if I don't even believe it, who else can be trusted in this Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, get up quickly." Li Shimin sat up straight with difficulty, raised his hand very emotionally, and said in a paragraph.
"Your Majesty, old minister, old minister......" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Shimin's words, the tears that had been stopped flowed out again, and he looked at Li Shimin with hazy tears, and he didn't know how to show his loyalty.
"Needless to say, I have always known your loyalty, but some people take my money, but they don't do personnel, and they just do it, and they dare to bully the old and sick, which is unbearable! I'll show you an article. When Li Shimin said this, he took out a fold with his name labeled on it from the brocade quilt, and threw it to the eldest grandson Wuji with one hand.
"Ah, this, this ......" the eldest grandson Wuji spread out the fold and looked at it, and his heart was half cold, and what was written on it was the transfer of grain and grass in Songzhou, Jiangnan, and someone actually sent an official letter to Songzhou Assassin Wang Poli in the name of the household department, asking Songzhou to suspend the transfer of grain and grass to the front, and everything would be decided after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and what was even more terrifying was that this official letter actually had the signature of his eldest grandson Wuji.
"Don't panic, I know that this matter has nothing to do with you, and the signature on it is definitely not your handwriting." Li Shimin didn't wait for the eldest grandson Wuji to explain, gritted his teeth, and said with a cruel smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your negligence in government affairs, capital crime, capital crime!" When the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Shimin's words, his heart was a little relieved, but he still couldn't help but kneel, kowtowed and asked for sin.
"That's it, I'm sick, everything is on Erzhi, even if there is negligence, but it's inevitable, I don't blame you, get up and speak." After Li Shimin was silent for a long time, he raised his hand weakly and motioned for the eldest grandson Wuji to get up.
"Old minister, thank you, Lord Longen." At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji had already determined that Li Shimin had indeed summoned him with his intentions, but before Li Shimin pointed it out, he didn't dare to peck casually, stood up honestly, and silently retreated to the side.
After Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, he set his eyes on Fang Xuanling, who was lying on the bed, and after seeing Fang Xuanling nodding his head, his face froze, and he didn't speak, but he just slapped his palm heavily, but when he saw the figure in the hall flashing, Wu Sheng, the deputy commander of the palace guards dressed in black, had quietly appeared in the main hall.
"Slave and maid knock to your majesty." Wu Sheng's face was blank, he walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted respectfully to Li Shimin.
"Excuse me." Li Shimin silently spoke, and then said in a deep voice: "Wu Sheng, let's tell me all the news I know, so that Lord Situ can know." ”
"Yes, slave and maid." Wu Sheng saluted respectfully, straightened his waist, and said calmly: "According to investigation, on the ninth day of the fourth month of the 21st year of Zhenguan, Lu Tingjian, a wealthy family in Junzhou, claimed to want to do business in Beijing, and brought more than 220 healthy servants in his family and recruited more than 100 strong men to leave Junzhou and enter Beijing; On April 20, Cheng Xiaoming, a wealthy family in Junzhou, said that he wanted to pay for Tongguan and left Junzhou with more than 250 healthy servants, aiming directly at Beijing; On the first day of the fifth month, Wang Yao, a salt merchant in Junzhou, said that he wanted to pass through the Western Regions, and led more than 330 servants to leave Junzhou, and now moved to Beijing; On the third day of the fifth month, Sima Cheng of Junzhou Thorn Shi went to the imperial court, saying that Junzhou found the auspicious Rui Sisui Road, and sent a battalion of soldiers to escort the ...... to Beijing. Again, according to the news of Longzhou, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate sent a battalion of cavalry to escort the tribute into Beijing, which had passed Longzhou the day before yesterday, and the enemy of Wushu Dragon would not arrive in Beijing tomorrow; On July 27, Su Xuan, the head of the household department, together with Cui Renshi, the head of ......the Ministry of Justice, and Xiao Long, the secretary of the criminal department, gathered in the palace of the king of Wei to discuss secretly, and on July 29, the household department went to Songzhou to adjust the time limit for the allocation of grain and grass......
Wu Sheng's eloquence is not good, this breath is coming down, all in the same tone, the tone has not changed, but the eldest grandson Wuji was terrified when he heard it, his forehead was sweating wildly, his eyes were full of anxiety, but he didn't dare to ask, it was easy to get through to Wu Sheng's detailed description of all the information, the vest was all wet with sweat, and his legs and feet trembled involuntarily, and he looked at Li Shimin in a daze, I really didn't know what to say.
"Listen, you're all so good to listen, I'm not dead yet, a bunch of bastards can't wait, am I raising a son, I'm raising a group of old eagles, raising a dog can still wagging its tail to please me, raising this group of animals, it will only peck at my eyes, I, I ...... I'm so angry! The more Li Shimin spoke, the more angry he became, the more sad he became, he couldn't catch his breath, and his whole body fell backwards heavily.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
……
As soon as they saw Li Shimin fall, all three people in the hall exclaimed, but Wu Sheng's eyes were quick and the enemy was not fast, and one jumped forward, supported Li Shimin's body, and screamed anxiously, and Fang Xuanling, who was bedridden, was also anxious to get up, but he was ill for a long time and was weak, so he fell headlong under the bed.
"Someone, pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji shouted loudly regardless of the ground, and in an instant, the guards and eunuchs waiting outside the hall rushed into the hall, and the whole scene was chaotic for a while......
