Chapter 956: Human Life Matters
"Nope."
After listening to Wang Yu's request, Li Yuan categorically refused.
Wang Yu hurriedly said: "Why not? They are full of wealth and have the talent to assist, and leaving them will definitely be of great use to the imperial court.
"What's more, they have dissuaded the eldest brother from doing all the ridiculous things that the eldest brother did, but the eldest brother insisted on doing it, so they had to plan for it.
"In the end, they don't have the intention of rebelling at all, they just have to do it."
Li Yuan said expressionlessly: "If you have made meritorious service, I will naturally reward you for your meritorious deeds, and in this way, I will be promoted to your official." ”
"No, I just want the three of them." Wang Yu also flatly refused.
Li Yuan was surprised: "Don't you really want to be promoted to attend the court meeting?" ”
"Lives don't matter."
Li Yuan: "......"
The next moment, Li Yuantie's face turned blue and emphasized again: "In short, it is impossible for me to agree to this request, you will die of this heart." ”
"Aye, you're ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yu fell on the bed.
Li Yuan was shocked and hurriedly walked over: "Xiao Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
At this time, Gao Huitong led Zhen Quan in, and after hearing Li Yuan's words, his face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Zhen Quan and ran.
"Hey, lady Gao, slow down." Zhen Quan was pulled by her and ran away, a little embarrassed.
Hearing the movement, Li Yuan looked over and saw that it was Zhen Quan, so he hurriedly ordered: "Imperial Doctor's order, hurry up and show Xiao Yu'er, she seems to have fainted." ”
Hearing this, Zhen Quan immediately quickened his pace, and after arriving at the bedside, he took out the pulse pillow and checked the pulse for Wang Yu.
After taking the pulse, he carefully observed Wang Yu's injuries, except for the clothes on his shoulder, there was no bleeding from other injuries.
So, Zhen Quan asked, "Your Majesty, did you say something that made Duke Jinyang angry?" ”
"......" Li Yuan was silent.
Seeing this, Zhen Quan said slowly: "Princess Jinyang's shoulder originally had an old injury, and this time the old injury was hit by another arrow, although it will not die, but the recovery is very slow, and it needs to be carefully recuperated."
"In addition, she has other wounds on her body, which has caused her to be very weak now, and she must maintain a calm and happy mood to recuperate so that she can recover soon.
"Remember, don't let her mood go up and down, it will aggravate her injuries."
A trace of remorse flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
If he had known that this would be the case, he would have refused tactfully.
In the end, Li Yuan said, "You take good care of Xiao Yu'er", and then left.
......
When Li Yuan went to see Wang Yu, Li Shimin was listening to the subordinate official's report on today's situation.
After Cheng Zhijie finished his report, he handed over a list: "King, this is all the generals who were killed today." ”
Li Shimin took the list and looked at it, and when he saw Shan Xiongxin's name, a smile appeared on his face: "You have done a good job, and you will be rewarded." ”
"King Xie." Everyone shouted in unison.
Li Shimin also instructed: "Draw up a list of the surviving subordinate officials of the East Palace and the Qi Palace." ”
"Yes, my lord." Fang Xuanling responded.
At this time, Xue Wanjun suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Li Shimin: "The king, the last general will be guilty, and please ask the king to surrender." ”
The smile on Li Shimin's face gradually froze, he put the list on the table next to him, and then asked, "What are you guilty of?" ”
"The last general secretly let go of the military general of the East Palace, that is, my own brother Xue Wanche." Xue Wanjun reported truthfully.
Li Shimin's face turned black all of a sudden, Xue Wanche was deeply valued by the prince, such a person was to be killed in his plan.
But Xue Wanche is Xue Wanjun's brother after all, and Xue Wanjun has never made a mistake since he followed him, and Xue Wanjun also made a contribution in this rebellion......
Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Xue Wanjun was very apprehensive and explained: "King, Shiro is not determined to oppose you, but because of the difference in position, he has to make a move against you.
"Shiro promised the last general that he would swear allegiance to the king in the future, and he would never let down your life-saving grace."
After a pause, Xue Wanjun raised his right hand and solemnly swore: "King, the last general dares to guarantee with his life that Shiro will never do anything unfavorable to you in the future, nor will he betray you."
"If he has the heart of rebellion, he will be killed with his own hands, and then he will be punished with death."
"Please also ask the king to look at my past merits, show mercy, and spare Shiro's life."
After speaking, Xue Wanjun kowtowed heavily to Li Shimin: "King, please......"
Li Shimin's face was moved, and he was silent for a moment, and he finally spoke: "Get up, I promise you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xue Wanjun was so excited that he kowtowed again.
Next, Li Shimin learned some more information from them, and then let them retreat.
But Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stayed.
"Great King, Wang Qi of the East Palace is quite talented, this person can stay and serve the imperial court." Fang Xuanling said.
Du Ruhui followed up and said: "Wang Jue has the talent of a prime minister, if he loses his life because of this rebellion, it will be a pity."
"The king might as well save his life, and he will definitely be able to make contributions to the court in the future."
After listening to their words, Li Shimin thought about it.
At this time, Li Yuan sent someone to invite Li Shimin.
So, Li Shimin said to them: "I will consider this matter, you should leave the palace first." ”
————
After speaking, he went to the main hall with Yue Yu.
"Father, what do you call me for?"
"Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, father."
After Yue Yu poured hot tea for Li Shimin and retreated, Li Yuan spoke: "What do you think should be done with the people in the East Palace and the Qi Palace?" ”
Li Shimin took the tea for a moment, and then he put down the teacup and replied respectfully:
"Now that the war in the north has not ended, the Turks are still eyeing our Tang Dynasty, and I think it is not appropriate to deal with this rebellion in a big way, so as not to disturb the people's hearts and give the Turks an opportunity.
"Moreover, the mastermind of this rebellion is dead, and killing the main officials involved in the rebellion can deter those with malicious intentions.
As for those thieves who only do what they are told, the father may wish to be lenient and give them a chance to mend their ways.
"In this way, it can not only soothe people's hearts, but also show the kindness of the father."
Hearing this, Li Yuan's heart was shaken: "Then tell me, what should I do with those officials in the East Palace?" ”
Li Shimin thought for a while: "Father might as well spare their lives, or exile or demote officials, it's all up to my father." ”
Li Yuan stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what reward Xiao Yu'er wants from me?" ”
"What reward?" Li Shimin was very curious.
It's rare for this little girl to offer a reward, it must be something important.
Li Yuan: "She wants to save the lives of Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, and Xu Shimo." ”
Hearing Wang Jue's name, Li Shimin's eyes flashed with surprise, Xiao Yu'er, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all wanted to keep Wang Jue, it seems that Wang Jue does have some ability.
However, Wei Zheng and Xu Shimo ...... Are they also very capable? can actually let Xiao Yu'er open his mouth to save people.
"Father, Xiao Yu'er has contributed a lot to quelling the chaos this time. Moreover, in order to save her father, she did not hesitate to risk her life, attracting most of the rebels, so that she is now seriously injured.
"Since she made a request, and it is not too much, you can agree to her."
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Yuan fell into deep thought......
