0043 Li Shimin's testament

This, when Li Jing read a book, he flipped through another book, and so on, and after a while, he had read five books. At this time www.biquge.info Wei Zheng handed over a book again, which was the last book of Li Hongtian's criticism, and it was also the first book that Li Shimin saw. After reading it, Li Jing took a deep breath, looked at the others and said: "All-rounder, such an all-round talent is really rare, no matter what field it is developed in, it may bring a piece of vitality." It's a pity that with such a talent, I'm afraid only the position of the crown prince will not be buried. ”

Li Jing's implication is actually that only the position of emperor can allow Li Hongtian to be fully exerted, and other positions will be buried. But this is obviously not good to say, and it can only be said in vague terms.

As Li Jing's words fell, several people on the side also made a pity, even Wei Zheng, who has always been poker-faced. Wei Zheng is a person who dares to admonish, he thinks that this is for the good of the country, so he dares to admonish, even if it is death.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Prince Hongtian is the best choice to be the prince, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw the edict of abolishing the prince. We will bring up the matter of the abolition of the crown prince again tomorrow morning. ”

As Wei Zheng's voice fell, the rest of the ministers also seconded the proposal. Of course, this is not entirely because of Li Hongtian, although Li Hongtian's talent has won the recognition of everyone, but they will not risk offending the emperor, after all, they are not Wei Zheng. The reason why they seconded the proposal was completely because they saw Li Shimin's thoughts. Li Shimin left them alone, who had no insiders in the palace, obviously because he liked the crown prince Li Hongtian.

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, and said, "I let you see this, not because I want you not to abolish the prince, otherwise I would have summoned you last night." The reason why I asked you to come here is because I want to make an edict in advance. ”

Several people were shocked when they heard this, and Du Ruhui was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, is it a little early to make an edict at this time?"

Li Shimin shook his head, looked out the window, and said: "The crown prince is deposed, if there is an accident, there will be civil strife, and I can't leave Hongtian and them such a mess." And I'm going to go east to Goryeo. ”

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, you still need to think twice about the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, at this time, Goryeo has regained its vitality, and I, the Tang Dynasty, am at peace. The Emperor of Sui fought for Goryeo three times, laboring the people and losing money, resulting in the displacement of the people. It is precisely because of this that there are constant rebellions in various places..."

Without waiting for Li Jing to say any more, Li Shimin interrupted: "I have considered all of this, and the current treasury is full, and a levy on Goryeo will not cause anything." The most important thing is that Goryeo has repeatedly provoked me at the Tang Border Pass, and if I don't levy it, I will feel uneasy. Standing in this position, I understand why Sui Tianzi made three expeditions to Goryeo, I have to say that he is indeed a generation of Ming monarchs, but it is a pity that after the three expeditions to Goryeo, he is old and cowardly. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

"I don't want to give up on this idea when I'm old and cowardly. Therefore, it is imperative to conquer Goryeo. Li Jing, if you go down today, you can go and prepare, and train your sons and daughters strictly. I want the most elite troops. ”

Hearing this, although Li Jing was puzzled, he still nodded. Li Shimin continued: "I hope that after a hundred years, Hongtian will have your dedicated assistance. That's why I want to make an edict at this time, so that you can be a witness and prepare in advance. ”

Hearing Li Shimin talk about this matter again, Fang Xuanling said puzzledly: "Then why doesn't Your Majesty keep letting the prince be the prince, but want to abolish the prince first?"

Li Shimin smiled and then spoke: "Hongtian, he naturally likes to be carefree and comfortable. The reason why I abolished the prince was to fulfill him and let him have fun for a few years. The second is to hope that he will live safely, and this harem may not be as safe as you think. If he is in the position of prince, then there will be many people who will become scavengers as their sons get older. It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows, so that's all I can do. It's still dangerous, but it's still a lot better. ”

As Li Shimin finished speaking, the ministers finally understood that it was time to show loyalty. I saw that these ministers stood up first, and at the same time spoke: "The ministers are willing to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled, and then personally wrote the edict, stamped it, and handed it to Wei Zheng. opened his mouth and said: "Wei Qingjia, you are the most upright and fair person, so I will hand over this edict to you, I hope you keep it properly and don't leave it out." ”

Hearing this, Wei Zheng took the edict at the same time, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will definitely take good care of it, and if it is lost, he will apologize for his crime with death." ”

As Wei Zheng's words fell, Li Shimin ended this private meeting in Taiji Palace.

As for Li Hongtian at this time, he was completely relaxed, he didn't know that his father had cheated him, and all he was thinking about now was how to get more benefits. For example, the fief when the king is crowned, and there are privileges. These are all things to consider, okay?

But what Li Hongtian didn't expect was that just a few days after he was comfortable, he received a letter asking for help. And the content of the letter made his good mood dissipate. No, maybe it shouldn't be said that the letter, that the note is more appropriate. There is only one sentence on it, which is passed down from the flying pigeon, and it says: Cousin, save me, I was locked up by my father. If you don't come, Mingyue will only be killed.

What kind of situation can make Mingyue use the word "rescue"? What kind of situation can make Mingyue use the word "suicide"? At this moment, Li Hongtian was rarely annoyed.

"Xiang Wu, prepare the carriage and go to Luoyang. ”

"It's... His Royal Highness the Prince, it is approaching the end of the New Year at this time, if you go to Luoyang again, I am afraid that the New Year will be delayed, right? Prince..."

"Shut up, don't I know? Or do I mean I can't move you?"

For so many years, it was the first time for Xiang Wu to see Li Hongtian make such a big fire, but he seemed to know that something was wrong, and hurriedly took the order: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'll go and prepare." Since you're out on your way, it's best to ask the maids to prepare some luggage and coils. ”

Hearing this, Li Hongtian nodded, and then said to Shuang'er while Xiang Wu turned to leave: "Shuang'er, go and help me prepare some changes of clothes, I have something to go out." My mother's place, you said that I miss Mingyue, just go to my aunt's house. ”

How could Shuang'er, who had already been frightened by Li Hongtian, dare to say a word? Although Li Hongtian has always treated them kindly, he is their master after all.

"Yes, slave maid will go and prepare the luggage. ”

Looking at Shuang'er, who was acting quickly, Li Hongtian looked in the direction of Luoyang, and said secretly: Uncle, I hope you won't do anything to make me crazy, otherwise even if you let your aunt be widowed, I will punish you all over the house.
