Chapter 85

Emperor Xuanwu is the clan of the previous dynasty, as the eldest grandson of the king of Linjiang, he could have made a prince, but because the king of Linjiang favored the concubine and killed his wife and grew up in Zhuangzi, this life was like this, but he did not expect that he arrived in Zhuangzi only two years before the Yongxi Rebellion, the Liao people on the grassland went south, all the way to break through the national capital Luoyang, and slaughtered the royal family who did not have time to escape.

At that time, Emperor Xuanwu was only a ten-year-old boy, fortunately Emperor Gaozu Wen protected him to grow up to fifteen years of peace and security, after the collapse of Gaozu Mountain, Empress Wenxin led the two to continue to develop the forces that had worked hard, and when Emperor Xuanwu was twenty years old, he recovered the old capital of Luoyang, and later Empress Wenxin gradually handed over the military power to Emperor Xuanwu, and he retreated behind the scenes to help Emperor Xuanwu sit in the rear, and the mother and son cooperated step by step to beat the Liao people back to the grassland.

Because of this, Emperor Xuanwu had great respect for Empress Wenxin, and Empress Wenxin was extremely disgusted with violating the etiquette system because of her experience when she was young, so Emperor Xuanwu attached great importance to the etiquette system after practicing Zuo, and once said that "etiquette is the discipline of the country." If the law of etiquette is established, then people will be determined, and the upper and lower levels will be safe. He has successively compiled more than 10 books of etiquette, such as "Great Qi Collection Ceremony", "Filial Piety Record", "Xuanwu Ritual System", "Etiquette Formula", "Zhu Zhi Zhang", "Great Rite Essentials", "Imperial Ritual System", "Great Qi Ritual System", "Xuanwu Ritual Law".

As for Empress Wenxin's dedication to improving the status of women because of her own sake, it is not enough for outsiders to respect the ancestral precept of the royal family of "establishing heirs and heirs, regardless of men and women".

Who made the previous female emperor virtuous and the male emperor mostly mediocre!

In fact, Emperor Xuanwu was unwilling and had to continue this ancestral teaching.

Or maybe he should thank his unreliable Aon.

Zijin thought crankily all the way

"The prince, the princess, please stop." The attendant who led the way reminded in a whisper.

"Thank you." Zijin smiled at the waiter, lifted his hem and knelt in front of the steps of the Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner.

Su Yanqi was stunned, and also knelt down with Zijin.

"Son, wait, slave and maid will retire." After a salute, the chamberlain retreated, and only two Zijin were left in front of the huge Fengtian Hall for a while.

Zijin's wedding date is unfortunate, the first day after the marriage is catching up with the ten days of the dynasty, Emperor Xuanwu every time the dynasty lasts from morning to near noon, if Emperor Xuanwu has not returned to Fengtian Palace, the two are afraid that they will kneel in front of the palace until noon.

If Zijin alone is okay, she was beaten out by King Yan when she was a child, kneeling for two hours is not a big deal, and she can be alive and kicking again after only one night, but Su Yan is different, although he is a man, he has never practiced martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a weak scholar, if he really kneels for two hours, he is afraid that both legs can be wasted!

Zijin glanced at the kneeling straight Su Yanqi worriedly, and was quite annoyed in his heart, why did he choose such a day.

I just hope that Your Majesty can go down to court sooner.

However, Emperor Xuanwu is still Emperor Xuanwu, and once he deals with the government, he can no longer remember the next things, not to mention that today's Great Dynasty Committee can be called an exciting sentence.

Taean Hall Square

The sun is just right, the breeze is warm, and it is a good day to get things done.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song."

The daily crying of the household department is the daily impeachment of the imperial history, although everyone is used to this, but today's impeachment still makes people feel inexplicably nervous.

The reason is that Emperor Xuanwu's reaction is too strange, in the past, at this moment, although Emperor Xuanwu was not extremely impatient, but his interest was not high, but today he actually said uncharacteristically, "Aiqing and talk." "And it's a little urgent to hear the voice, is it really strange?

Don't ask how the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard it, Your Majesty has only one word on weekdays - "speak".

No matter how the courtiers' minds turned a thousand times, Li Lin couldn't feel it, and after he got the permission of Emperor Xuanwu, he opened his mouth with a shocking sentence: "The ministers want to admonish the monarch with death, and impeach the prince of Qi Guochang Gu Changzhan Dao eleven major crimes!" ”

Like pouring cold water on a frying pan, there was an uproar in the court, with those who accused, those who agreed, those who doubted, and those who were silent......

Emperor Xuanwu sat on the high platform and saw the posture of the hundred officials clearly, and only said after a while: "This is a novelty, the Duke of Qi has won my heart, do you mean that I believe in the wrong person?" Who would dare to say that I was wrong?

"I don't dare." Li Lin bowed his hand as a salute to show respect, "The Duke of Qi has great talents, His Majesty loves his talents and values his people, this is the rule of the Ming monarch, but Chang Zhandao relies on the emperor's favor to act recklessly and does not want to repay, it is disloyal, this is a fault!" ”

Yes, that's right, His Majesty values the talent of Qi Guogong, and what the minister wants to impeach is the virtue of Qi Guogong, and there is no contradiction between the two.

Emperor Xuanwu was complete, looked at Qi Guogong, who was standing at the head of the generals with a normal expression, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me what these eleven major sins are."

"Obey." Li Lin saluted again, holding the wat board in his hand and said loudly: "First, he is good at pulling out generals and colonels, and second, he is widely distributed, and he does not respect His Majesty's order to "care for soldiers";

Third, there are hundreds of fake slaves in private villages, which is contrary to the slave restriction section; Fourth, take advantage of the situation of fishing and hunting to make a windfall; fifth, forcibly occupy people's land;

Sixth, insulting officials and expelling the imperial history; Seventh, in the early years of the Liao people's rotational division, the hidden camels, horses, jewelry, and property were not counted;

Eighth, at the Xifeng Pass at night, the columns smashed the border card and entered the pass, which damaged our Daqi border defense; ninth, the princess of the former dynasty, caused dissatisfaction among the bereaved people;

Tenth, after the victory of the expedition to Liao, His Majesty specially gave him a banquet, and Gu Xing was arrogant and disrespectful; The eleventh, arrogant, gathered the old generals, conspired to change the armor, and intended to kill the lord and riot. ”

In the end, it is a murderous sentence "Please behead Gu and hang it in the city, thinking that the people are fierce and unsubordinate!" Gou Chen is not telling the truth, and he is willing to show his death! ”

Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanwu was unusually calm, "Zhan Dao, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know where to start." Chang Gu calmly walked out of the queue and said calmly.

"Let's start at the beginning." Emperor Xuanwu tapped the desk with one hand, symbolizing the twelve days of the Son of Heaven casting a shadow on his face, making it difficult to see and understand.

"The discord between Li Yushi and the minister is a well-known thing in the court, the minister thought that the minister's wife and brother were dead, and the grievances between the two would disappear, who knew that Li Yushi still hated the minister, so that now he is taking revenge!"

This is to deny Li Lin's impeachment as revenge for personal gain, and first fundamentally veto the correctness of Li Lin's impeachment.

Li Lin was raised by his brother since he was a child, and he had a very strong relationship with his brother, but his brother was let go because he offended Chang Gu's brother-in-law, and died on the way to his post.

"What's more, Li Yushi only said that Weichen was guilty but there was no evidence to show it," Chang Gu quietly glanced at Emperor Xuanwu, who couldn't see his expression clearly, and forcibly suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart, and then said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear!" ”

"What Qing said is reasonable," Emperor Xuanwu said in a calm tone, and he couldn't say whether he believed it or not, "Does Li Qing have evidence?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is." As soon as Li Lin's words fell, he heard Chang Gu and said sharply: "Your Majesty! Minister......"

"Listen to Li Qing first." Emperor Xuanwu's voice was not loud, but he interrupted Chang Gu's words with great majesty.

Li Lin didn't say much, only took out a fold and a few pages from his sleeve, and said: "This is the testimony of the sergeant who was tortured by Chang Gu and the deed of the Chang family to buy a farm house, according to the minister's investigation, the Chang Mansion bought a lot of land houses in Gyeonggi, Jiangnan, and central Henan, and obtained a total of more than 1,000 mu of land under the forcible seizure, most of which are less than 50% of the market price, and even worse, less than 11!"

Emperor Xuanwu roughly flipped through the folds, and looked at the shocking numbers on it.

Good! What a meritorious Duke of Qi! What a loyal and courageous lonely minister! A military general who is in the center can get mixed with local civil officials, and the 3,500 stone Yu Lu is really not worthy of this ability!

"Chang Zhandao, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were fierce, staring at Chang Gu tightly, his face was so gloomy that he could drip water.

"Your Majesty," sweat dripped down Chang Gu's forehead, and his voice was still not flustered, "What Li Yushi said is that a few families are eager to use money, and it is normal for people in the courtier's family to lower the price, and Li Yushi's words are afraid that they are suspected of being partial and deceiving Your Majesty." ”

"Unrepentant!"

Emperor Xuanwu picked up the fold on the desk and smashed it in front of Chang Gu, looking at Chang Gu as if he didn't feel even more irritable, he unconsciously raised his hand to rub his temples but suddenly put his hand down, and said to Li Lin: "You go on."

"Yes" Li Lin calmly saluted, "the minister once sneaked into the ancestral house after the renovation of Chang Gu, among which the carved beams and painted buildings, gold brick paving, all kinds of treasures and toys, Huanghuang Building, comparable to the palace room, there are nine spine beasts on the ridge of the main house, and His Majesty is the same system, which shows that its intentions are sinister!" ”

"Someone!" Emperor Xuanwu laughed angrily, and the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised, "Take my whip." ”

"Yes"

With the attendants gone, the whole square fell into a terrible silence.

Emperor Xuanwu said that the whip is his nine-section whip, four feet long, used to beat people very handy, has always been in the Fengtian Palace, the inner servant all the way in a hurry, for fear of going back late by Emperor Xuanwu anger, who knew that just arrived in front of the Fengtian Palace, he saw the prince of Yan Wang kneeling in front of the palace and the eldest grandson of the emperor standing aside.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, the prince, and the princess."

"Get up, hasn't Your Majesty gone down yet?" Xiao Yuan recognized that this was the person in front of Emperor Xuanwu, so he asked casually.

"Yes," the chamberlain replied cautiously, startled.

Your Majesty's whereabouts are not something that these low-status servants can discuss, if Your Majesty knows about it, I am afraid that this life will come to an end.

"Then how did you get here?" Xiao Yuan didn't know what the waiter was thinking, so he asked again.

The chamberlain secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare not answer the question of the emperor's eldest grandson, so he could only stubbornly say, "It's Your Majesty......"

"Wait," Zijin interrupted the waiter's words and rebuked softly, "How can Your Majesty's affairs be revealed at will. ”

After speaking, he turned to Xiao Yuanwen and said, "Brother should also pay attention." ”

"It's up to you to make a lot of sense."

Xiao Yuan saw that Zijin meant to relieve the siege for the inner servant or sold Zijin a face, and did not ask any further, but said: "When you go back to Tai'an Palace, bring a message to Your Majesty, Zijin is still waiting in Fengtian Palace, so say that I said it."

"Yes" The chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief, and then leaned over and gave Zijin a grateful glance at the salute, and Zijin smiled in return.

The chamberlain was slightly shaken by Zijin's laughter, and when he noticed the reassuring meaning in Zijin's eyes, he quickly blushed and looked away, and said goodbye to the two.

The prince of Yan Wang is inevitably too good-looking! And so kind-hearted!

Xiao Yuan waved his hand impatiently to agree, and said to Zijin, "It's just a slave, what is worth it for you to relieve him." ”

"It's not easy for them to live in the palace, but if there is anything wrong, they will be punished, not to mention that in front of His Majesty, the slightest carelessness is a human life, and that person looks at it as a teenage child, wouldn't it be a pity if he lost his name because of this?"

"Say he's a kid?" Xiao Yuan squatted down and nodded his forehead rather amusedly, "How old are you?" ”

Zijin rubbed his forehead and smiled without saying a word.

The chamberlain is also a human being, you don't treat him as a human being according to His Majesty's rules, and you still expect him to serve you wholeheartedly, how can there be such a good thing in the whole world?

It doesn't matter to them if everyone is like this, after all, everyone is the same, but once there is a contrast and a light is seen, those contempt and disdain become unbearable.

In this way, isn't it clear who those chamberlains will favor?

Seeing that Zijin didn't speak, Xiao Yuan was not annoyed, but because she said that Zijin was young, she was not happy, so she changed the topic according to her childhood habits, "Zijin, don't worry, I think Ah Weng will have a will soon, and you can go back soon." ”

Zijin showed a slightly grateful smile at the right time, nodded and said, "Thank you Brother for that." ”

"You." Xiao Yuan smiled helplessly, "If it weren't for Aya thinking about you entering the palace today and asking me to come and see, would you really want to kneel here all morning?" ”

"Brother, don't you understand?" Zijin smiled bitterly.

No matter how close Zijin is to the East Palace, he is also the son of the vassal king, and there are some things that the favored emperor's eldest grandson can say, but the vassal king can't say.

Xiao Yuan was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Mo Yun, Mo Yun's body is not as good as you, how can you stand it." ”

Zijin looked back at Su Yanqi's somewhat pale face, pursed her lips and bowed her head without saying a word.

Su Yanqi took Zijin's hand, patted it soothingly, and retorted seriously, "Your Highness's words are not right, the rules are like this, and the prince can't, how can you blame the prince for this?" ”

Xu is because the two are familiar with each other, Xiao Yuan didn't care about being demolished by Su Yanqi at all, but became entangled in his title.

"Why does Mo Yun still call me His Highness?"

Su Yanqi changed his name as good as he could, and called "Brother" with Zijin.

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Yuan responded with a smile, feeling like he was taking advantage.

Zijin looked at Xiao Yuan's unproductive appearance and snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother didn't even prepare to change his words, so he made a profit in vain, how can there be such a cheap thing!" ”
