Back then, Li Chongjun was a coup d'état and rebelled, and he was deposed as the crown prince after his death, and now the saint wants to posthumously crown him?

It's just a matter of chasing him, after all, he is the son of Emperor Zhongzong, everyone is dead, so it is okay to make Emperor Zhongzong's face look better. It's just that together with Li Duozuo, Li Shouli and others, who followed him back then, they also have to be posthumously awarded officials, which is a bit excessive.

"I've already thought about the nickname, I died at a young age, and I killed Wu Sansi and other meritorious people, so I said the word 'temperance', what do you think?" Li Dan asked.

The prime ministers looked straight at the Son of Heaven for a while, a little speechless.

…… Dare Li Chongjun to raise troops to enter the Daming Palace, almost killed the emperor's parents, disloyal and unfilial, and was even hung on the head of the court by Emperor Zhongzong afterwards to set an example, and so on, they all had a dream, and since then it has ceased to exist?

Taifu Shaoqing Wei came forward and said: "Qi Shengren, the name of a person is a praise or deprecation of his life's merits, and he should be given according to what he did during his lifetime. The former crown prince Li Chongjun and Li Duozuo, Li Shouli and others raised troops into the palace, forcing Emperor Zhongzong to retreat to the northernmost Xuanwu Gate of the palace, panicking and resisting to such a point, but the prince still lived calmly on the horse to supervise the army, until Li Duozuo and others were killed by the soldiers who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, he fled in the wilderness. From beginning to end, he did not have the slightest remorse, if the Yulin Army guarding the Xuanwu Gate at that time could not resist it, the disaster caused by Li Chongjun would be unimaginable! How can a saint posthumously crown him and his servants? ”

Li Dan sighed: "After all, he was young at the time, he was instigated by others, and he was impulsive, not as evil as Wei Shuren, and he was the son of Emperor Zhongzong. Besides, didn't he also kill Wu Sansi and other traitors, and he also had a meritorious ...... in Sheji."

Yao Yuanchong stroked his beard at this time and said: "I heard a friend mention that the day after Li Chongjun's defeat, when Emperor Zhongzong saw the ministers, because of the rest of his life, tears were about to flow, and Emperor Zhongzong also held the hand of the prime minister, saying that he almost couldn't see you. It seems that the situation at the time of the mutiny was far more critical than we imagined. ”

It means that even if Li Chongjun is impulsive, the result is there, what kind of crime he should have, what kind of responsibility he should bear, this is undoubted, there is no room for explanation, but the saint suddenly mentioned this matter, it must not be just to pardon Li Chongjun, and although the saint has made a decision, his tone is still discussed, then their prime minister has a discussion with him.

Song Jing is not a fool, hearing Yao Yuanchong say this, he also waited for a while to see how the sage responded. At this moment, Yao Yuanchong is already the chief prime minister, and the other prime ministers naturally take him as the first minister.

Li Dan sighed again: "Have you forgotten that in the past, when A-Niang was in the dynasty, I was so oppressed by Wu Sansi and other martial arts children, until Emperor Zhongzong Zhongxing Tang Dynasty, he still could not escape Wu Sansi's suspicion, no matter how bad the prince Chongjun was, he finally removed the scourge for the country and avenged me, and the country is kind to me." If you don't repay your kindness, how can there be such a son of heaven in the world? ”

"Oh......" Yao Yuanchong nodded, "Then the minister dares to ask the sage, has this matter been discussed with Princess Zhenguo?" ”

Li Dan was about to say something, but when he heard what Yao Yuanchong asked, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Shang ......" hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It's been discussed." ”

Song Jing said dryly: "The saint and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have also discussed?" ”

Li Dan's face was slightly gloomy: "...... San Lang has just become the crown prince, and it is the time to study, national affairs, how can you discuss everything with him? ”

Yao Yuanchong and Song Jing glanced at each other, and said, "What the sage said is exact." After Li Dan's expression eased slightly, he continued, "It turns out that the saint just wants to repay the favor, this is easy to do, there are many ways for the Son of Heaven to repay the favor, there is no need to chase the seal, and it is also possible to change the burial to a thick burial, which not only completes the law, but also appeases the heart of the saint." ”

Yao Yuanchong's suggestion was indeed the best of both worlds, and the prime ministers and officials of the three provinces all nodded in agreement. If it was Li Dan on weekdays, he would have nothing to say at this moment, either agree with what Yao Yuanchong said, or put it aside for the time being and move on to another topic, but today he seemed to have known what Yao Yuanchong would say, and then said: "Although the crown prince Chongjun is dead, there are still survivors, if he is not posthumously sealed, but only changed to a thick burial, his surviving people will be too pitiful." What's more, Crown Princess Chongjun Yang is still the sister of San Lang Yang Liangyuan...... Even if you don't think about the crown prince Chongjun, you can't make San Lang's concubine status too ugly. ”

This time it was Yao Yuanchong's turn to have nothing to say—sage, since you think so, what did you do earlier? Now that the Yang family is already the crown prince Liangyuan, do you remember that the Yang family's identity is tainted?

He knew that Li Dan was purely using strong words, but he didn't want to refute anything. The sage was obviously prepared, and this reason was clearly the style of the princess of Zhenguo, so he didn't waste his strength and took a step back, but there were some principles that could not be touched: "The sage is so thoughtful for the prince, it is really a father's heart." In fact, there is nothing wrong with chasing the seal and burying it, but the old minister thinks that the word 'jieshu' is not suitable for his nickname, and he also asks the saint to change it. ”

Song Jing said: "That's right. Loyalty and filial piety are festivals, but sad and pitiful, the minister doesn't know why Li Chongjun can get these two words. ”

Wei Miao also followed: "The saint is benevolent and righteous, and he pities Li Chongjun for his young death, and gives him a thick burial name, and the ministers understand it very well." It's just that the saint has forgotten that the courtiers serve the king with courtesy, and if they pass through the Taimiao, they must dismount, pass through the king's throne, and walk in step to show respect. In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty was the crown prince, although he was urgently summoned by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty to meet him, he did not dare to cross the gallop, but Li Chongjun dared to raise troops in the palace to rebel, and immediately stabbed in front of Emperor Zhongzong, not to mention rude and disrespectful, it was simply lawless! ”

Seeing that Li Dan didn't react, still stubborn, Song Jing said coldly: "Li Chongjun killed Wu Sansi and other traitors, and the sage wants to reward him, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as he is to honor Emperor Zhongzong, let alone Xingbing Palace, it doesn't matter if he destroys Chang'an, but ...... Is he? He raised troops in order to make himself the emperor, and he was clearly plotting against him, what is the difference between him and Wu Sansi? ”

Li Dan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Yao Yuanchong smiled and said: "Don't tell the old minister, Li Chongjun forced Emperor Zhongzong to Xuanwu Gate in order to abolish the extremely evil Wei Shu people." ”

Li Dan had a flash of inspiration, when he wanted to nod, he felt that Yao Yuanchong was not bad, so he listened to Yao Yuanchong continue: "At that time, Wei Shu people had not rebelled, they were still ** queens, and they were Li Chongjun's mother-in-law, Li Chongjun and Wei Shuren's monarchs and ministers had not yet broken off the righteousness of their mothers and sons, and Li Chongjun obviously did not get the order of Emperor Zhongzong, but raised troops without authorization. ”

Li Dan: "......"

Wei Miao said again: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the dynasty, Prince Er was framed by Jiang Chong, and he raised troops in anger, although he also used soldiers and horses, but he only killed Jiang Chong, and did not besiege Emperor Wu of Han. The prince was eventually defeated and committed suicide, and it was not until his grandson Emperor Xuan of Han ascended the throne that he was able to change his burial, but his nickname was still a '戾'. Prince Er is still like this, let alone Li Chongjun? If the saint really calls him a 'temperant', I am afraid that the rebellious ministers and thieves of later generations will no longer have reverence for the country's felonies such as rebellion and rebellion because of Li Chongjun's precedent! ”

Song Jing said: "The state has a law, which should be followed, punish the evil and promote the good, and the rewards and punishments are clear." As for Li Duozuo, Li Shouli and others, they did not dissuade them, but followed Li Chongjun to raise troops, which cannot be said to be innocent, if the saint is willing to forgive them, there is nothing to do, but to posthumously seal and bestow officials, and the minister implores the saints to be exempted from all of them, so as to demonstrate the purity of the law......"

Suddenly, he heard a heavy "snap", Li Dan patted the imperial case and stood up: "In your eyes, am I still not the emperor?" ”

Yao Yuanchonggang raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Song Jing had already responded calmly: "The Son of Heaven should also be close to the virtuous ministers and accept loyalty, instead of insisting on going his own way." ”

"Song Jing!"

Yao Yuanchong was still a little worried about Song Jing, but now he was worried about Li Dan. From the beginning of "is it the emperor" just now, Li Dan has taken the wrong path. Is that what the emperor can say? Did he think that the wrath of the Son of Heaven would definitely work? Then when Emperor Taizong faced Wei Zheng, why didn't he win once?

It is very rude to call people's names in public, and Emperor Taizong only scolded Wei Zheng behind his back with a sentence of "Tian Sheweng", and he didn't dare to name his surname, what happened today? Even if she is the princess of Zhenguo, even if she can teach him to be angry, she won't teach him this, right?

The Son of Heaven has always had a gentle personality, and even when he is angry, he seems to be very weak-hearted, but the sound of "Song Jing" is real, he may want to establish his prestige as the emperor through this incident, but it is obviously self-defeating. Trouble comes out of the mouth, it is difficult to recover the water, offended Song Jing, I see what you do.

Song Jing's eyes narrowed slightly: "What does the sage call his ministers?" ”

Li Dan was really empty-hearted: "I...... You are presumptuous! ”

Song Jing looked at Li Dan like a dead man, took two steps forward, and slowly knelt down. He took off the Yishan crown on his head, put it in front of him, and took off the wat board and fish talisman from his waist, put them on both sides of the Yishan crown, and then bowed his head and said: "The minister please resign from the post of Sanpin under the Tongzhongshu Sect, and will not enter the political hall from now on." Then he stepped back and did not embarrass the saints. ”

This is your own resignation! Li Dan was imperative, and when he heard Song Jing's resignation, he suddenly felt a little lighter on his shoulders. Seeing that Yao Yuanchong and the others did not intercede and retain, he immediately agreed, and asked the closest eunuch around him to send him off.

The swan song of the Tang Dynasty
