Chapter 857: Turmoil in the court
After the end of the day, Wang Yu stood in front of the gate of Tiance Mansion and looked at the plaque of Tiance Mansion for a long time.
Back then, Li Shimin pacified Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and his military exploits were unparalleled, and Li Yuan had no choice but to dig out his mind to seal Li Shimin an unprecedented official position.
Now that Li Shimin has made military exploits again, there is no suitable military attache official position to confer on Li Shimin, and Li Yuan is very distressed.
Some time ago, she stayed in the palace, and Li Yuan asked her opinion, but she couldn't think of any good way.
Further up is the position of the prince, obviously, it is impossible for Li Yuan to give the position of the prince to Li Shimin, so he can only reward things......
Wang Yu turned around and got into the carriage: "Go home." ”
At this time, the most anxious and distressed person should be Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin is now pressing him, if he doesn't take measures, the position of the prince may not be guaranteed.
She should also think about her next move.
As she expected, there were waves in the court again.
The next day, he suggested to Li Yuan in the imperial court: "The King of Qin is eloquent and strategic, resourceful and unparalleled, and has brilliant achievements in civil and military affairs.
"Although the ancient adage says that the Tang Dynasty should grow up, if you want the Tang Dynasty to grow and become a stronger country than the Han Dynasty, you should change it to a virtuous person.
"The minister thinks that the king of Qin is more suitable to be the prince than the crown prince, so please ask Your Majesty to depose the prince and establish the king of Qin instead."
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
Li Yuan was shocked, he subconsciously looked at Li Shimin first, and when he saw Li Shimin's expression was shocked, he knew that this person was not arranged by Li Shimin.
Then he looked at Li Jiancheng again, and saw that Li Jiancheng's expression was also shocked, but after the consternation, Li Jiancheng's eyes showed an angry look.
It's not the crown prince either.
Li Yuan withdrew his gaze and began to scan the others.
When Li Yuan observed everyone, Pei Lin was the first to speak, he pointed to Xiang Yushi, and reprimanded loudly: "Presumptuous, you dare to speak wildly."
"The crown prince raised troops with His Majesty, he was the founder of the country, and pacified Liu Heimin, repelled the Turks, and helped His Majesty to conquer the country, and his military achievements were impressive, no worse than the King of Qin.
"Since His Majesty took the crown prince with him to study government affairs, the prince has worked hard to govern the country, for the sake of the people.
"Wenzhi martial arts, the prince is not bad.
"Besides, the crown prince is not at fault, how can he be abolished for no reason?"
Xiang Yushi argued: "Although the prince is meritorious, he is still far behind the king of Qin......"
Pei Lin interrupted him: "Lichu is not based on whose merits are great, since ancient times, they have all been established and established, this is the ancestral precept, which cannot be violated." ”
"The rules are dead, people are alive, for the sake of the country's longevity, what does it matter if you change it? And the crown prince is benevolent, he can only keep it, and the king of Qin is different, his intelligence is comparable to that of Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even more than ......"
"Shut up."
Li Shimin was frightened when he heard this, and immediately stopped Xiang Yushi and reprimanded him: "How can the rules of the ancestors be violated? The crown prince covers the world without any fault, how can he be deposed? ”
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin asked Xiang Yushi again: "I have no grudge with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, why are you making a lot of nonsense today, putting me in a place of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence and injustice?"
"Say, Who commanded you?"
Xiang Yushi "Putong" knelt down, and his expression was very aggrieved: "Why is the king doing this to me?" Isn't this what the king wants? ”
Hearing this, Li Yuanji laughed silently.
Although everyone is clear about Li Shimin's ambitions, no one has ever announced it in the court, and today he told the imperial history about Li Shimin's ambitions, and he wanted to see how Li Shimin got out.
Looking at the "wronged" Xiang Yushi, Li Shimin's heart couldn't help sinking, but he reacted quickly, first scolding Xiang Yushi: "Nonsense, I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty and a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and I should do my best to be loyal to the country and serve the people."
"Assisting Your Majesty, assisting the Prince, this is my duty.
"I, Li Shimin, have always been conscientious in my duties, scrupulously abiding by my duties, and have never trespassed, let alone have the heart of trespassing.
"Today you slander me and entrap me, and your sin is unforgivable."
Li Shimin immediately knelt down towards Li Yuan and said loudly: "Father, the son's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and you also know very well that the son has never trespassed on the eldest brother, and he does not dare to think of anything wrong.
"My son has always respected his father and his eldest brother, and he will unreservedly support any decision made by his father and eldest brother.
But today, Xiang Yushi is bold enough to slander his son, provoke feelings between his son and his father and eldest brother, and try to provoke civil strife, which is no different from plotting rebellion.
"Son, please play, deal with the crime of rebellion to the imperial history, and set an example."
"Heh......" Li Yuanji wanted to sarcastically mock Li Shimin, but was stopped by Li Jiancheng's stern gaze.
He closed his mouth in a daze, and stood by and watched.
At this time, Li Yuan's majestic voice sounded: "Gu thinks that Xiang Yushi's words are not unreasonable. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The ministers of the prince's party were frightened, and His Majesty should not be induced by Xiang Yushi's words.
The ministers of King Qin's party were pleasantly surprised, His Majesty was shaken, and did he want to change the King of Qin?
Li Yuanji couldn't hold his breath anymore, and immediately said: "Father, Xiang Yushi's words are clearly slander, where does the truth come from?"
"Pei Fushu is right, the eldest brother has made great achievements in war, and he is not at fault in political affairs, how can he be deposed?
"Deposing the talented prince for no reason will definitely cause turmoil in the court and unrest among the people, and I ask my father to severely punish Xiang Yushi and those behind the scenes."
This "person behind the scenes" is self-evident, referring to Li Shimin.
Xiao Yu stared at Li Yuan for a long time, and after listening to Li Yuanji's words at this time, he stood up and asked Li Yuanji: "Dare to ask King Qi, who is the person behind the scenes in your mouth?" ”
"Do you still need me to say it?" Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin said angrily: "King Qi, I have no relationship with Xiang Yushi, and I have not instructed him to do so, so you have to slander me." ”
"Hehe, he admitted it himself, what's the use of your quibbles?" Li Yuanji sneered gloatingly.
Li Shimin didn't want to talk nonsense with Li Yuanji, so he asked Yushi in front of everyone: "Xiang Yushi, in front of Your Majesty, lying is bullying the king."
"Do you dare to tell people when and where I instructed you to do this? What evidence do you have? ”
Xiang Yushi prostrated on the ground and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, of course King Qin will not personally order such a thing, let alone leave evidence.
"At that time, it was Cheng Zhijie of the Qin Palace, who conveyed to me the order of the King of Qin, and as we all know, Cheng Zhijie was the confidant of the King of Qin, and he would never betray the King of Qin.
"That's why King Qin dares to ask me here without fear."
"You ......" Li Shimin was angry, and turned to Li Yuan and said: "Father, my son swears, my son has never given such an order, you can summon Cheng Zhijie, and you will know as soon as you ask." ”
Li Yuan glanced at Ding Zhi.
Ding Zhi quietly withdrew from the main hall.
Then, Li Yuan looked at Xiang Yushi expressionlessly: "Why did King Qin ask you to do this?" ”
Li Shimin's heart sank, what does my father mean by this? Is it suspicious of him?
Xiang Yushi raised his upper body, but lowered his eyes, still didn't dare to look at Li Yuan: "Back to Your Majesty, I am Yushi, and I dare to speak up, so King Qin found me......"
