Chapter 51: Lying about Credit?
On the Taiji Palace, I waited for more than an hour, and it was already noon, and I couldn't catch up if I didn't come to lunch.
Li Er wondered, how could he just invite someone, could Wei Chi Jingde take so long? It won't be a tavern food, if you want to mix it up and come back.
(Wei Chigong: The minister died unjustly...... )
The civil and military ministers waited drowsy one by one, and everyone was very puzzled, what kind of medicine was the emperor selling in the gourd today? said that he invited a big man, it's been a long time, how big is it? The big people should also know a little bit of proportion.
Emperor Li Yuan, who was listening, coughed lightly and said: "Erlang, seeing that it's lunch time, don't be in a hurry at this time and a half, let the imperial dining room pass the meal first, and then everyone will have a meeting after dinner, just send someone to urge." ”
Okay, so the civil and military ministers collectively enjoyed a handful of food in the imperial dining room of the palace, there are not many such opportunities, usually even if the emperor wants to feast the courtiers, it is only a private individual banquet, like this kind of collective banquet, unless there is a big victory celebration banquet, or other great events.
Looking at the sumptuous wine and food on the small table in front of everyone, it is obvious that this is not prepared in a hurry, so your majesty is ready, and today you are going to feast on the ministers? Could it be that there is a great joy to announce? But I haven't heard of any war reports coming back from the north.
This big meal, everyone was full of suspicions, and they didn't come up with it after thinking about it, what was it?
Because the court meeting had to continue after lunch, even if His Majesty opened his mouth, he should eat and drink, no one dared to drink unscrupulously, and it was even more impossible, everyone ate very quietly, and a few people whispered and speculated while eating.
People like the eldest grandson Wuji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Qin Shubao, who know Li Yuanying, can almost guess that it may be that Wulang Li Yuanying has made some great achievements, and His Majesty wants to reward him.
In the main hall, when the monarch and the minister had just finished eating and the maid was cleaning up the tableware, Yu Chigong and Li Yuanying's father and daughter arrived.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the last general, fortunately, fortunately, not disgraced! Gorou invited it. Wei Chigong stumbled and said, he did not come on horseback, but was escorted into the palace in a carriage, and then carried up to the main hall in a soft sedan chair.
Everyone was stunned, what's the situation? General Wei Chi was attacked? This is Chang'an City, who dares to sneak attack a general?
Wei Chigong was watched, he couldn't raise his head, it was too embarrassing, a dignified general, he actually rode in a soft sedan chair chirping for girls? My reputation was ruined......
"Jingde, how can you be so embarrassed? But what happened? Li Er asked with concern.
Wei Chigong hesitated for a long time, but he really couldn't, so he could only reply in a whisper: "Without him, the head wind was committed, and he fell off the horse and injured himself." ”
On the way here, Li Yuanying told him a thousand times, and he also promised a bunch of delicacies, begging Wei Chigong not to tell the truth, otherwise his daughter would become famous today.
In fact, where is the advice? was a famous general at that time, but he was violently beaten by a five or six-year-old girl, and he failed miserably with just one move, and he still had the face to publicize it?
Li Yuanying's words simply said that Wei Chi Gong'er was in trouble, grinning and hissing in a low voice, while nodding to promise not to spread the word, and at the same time telling Li Junxian, take care of your subordinates, if you show your low, don't blame you for not thinking about the robe.
Hearing that not only will it not be spread, but it can also get a bunch of delicacies for nothing, every time he comes to the tavern, he has preferential treatment, Yu Chigong almost forgot the pain, and said in his heart that this beating doesn't seem to be so difficult to accept, it's not in vain!
In the main hall, when you hear this explanation, how can anyone believe it? But Wei Chigong is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, who dares to offend? They all pretended to be good gentlemen and greeted them with concern.
The bearded man bit Jin and sneered directly, "Hahaha, Lao Hei, at this level, he still commands the cavalry?" In the future, stand in the back and lead the archers to retire. ”
You...... I'm angry......
Wei Chi trembled with anger, but he was injured and unable to move, otherwise he really dared to fight directly with Cheng Yanjin for three hundred rounds in this hall.
Li Er stopped everyone, greeted Wei Chigong with concern, and said with relief: "Jingde, don't listen to Zhijie's jokes, go to the Tai Hospital to take a look, the head wind can't be delayed, look at it early, soon the Tang Dynasty will send troops to fight the Turks, how can you do it without you?" ”
Wei Chigong was moved, and saluted respectfully with an urn voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, you will be able to recover from your injuries at the end of three days, and you will definitely kill more barbarians on the battlefield!" The bearded man who killed that day, you wait for a certain family, and I will call the door in three days, and don't run away. ”
……
Everyone laughed, this time it was Cheng Jin's turn to be embarrassed, and said in his heart that this old black, how can he be honest? Can't afford to make jokes?
"Come on, give General Wei Chi a seat!" Li Er smiled and asked people to move the mat.
Wei Chigong hurriedly shook his head and thanked him, his buttocks were broken, how could he still sit? Looking up at the situation, not wanting to be watched as a rare animal, Wei Chigong took the opportunity to say that he would go to the doctor and escaped from the Taiji Palace.
At this time, the eyes of the civil and military ministers all fell on Li Yuanying's father and daughter.
Except for those who know each other, the rest of the people are very puzzled, this pair, it's a civilian father and daughter, this is the important person Your Majesty said?
Xiao Doudou was not afraid of being watched by so many people, so he dared to turn around and look back one by one, causing the ministers to laugh.
Seeing his grandfather sitting on it, the little guy trotted over, threw himself directly into Li Yuan's arms, and pointed at the people below coquettishly and said, "Grandpa, look, they are all canceling their pockets, I really want to beat them up one by one......"
Burst...... Li Yuan couldn't help laughing, this granddaughter is too bold.
"Don't be afraid, there is a grandfather here, and no one present cancels my good granddaughter."
The conversation between the little guy and grandpa made everyone confused, grandpa? Granddaughter? What's the situation?
At this time, Li Er stood up from the dragon chair, laughed loudly and said loudly: "Everyone, let me introduce, the person standing in the hall is the son of the Emperor Taishang, my own brother Li Yuanying, the fifth in the family, who was lost in his childhood and was recently recovered. ”
What???
The fifth son of the royal family? Haven't you heard of it, but there are such secrets?
At this time, Zong Zhengqing Li Xiaogong stood up and testified: "There is a record of the clan genealogy, the grandson of the Emperor Taishang is indeed five people, Wulang Li Yuanying was lost at the age of three, and he was recently recovered, and he has re-entered the genealogy. ”
Hearing this, everyone understands that today's happy event is this, to crown His Majesty's fifth brother as king, no wonder it is so pompous.
At this time, Li Yuan stood up and said: "Before I gave way, Erlang wrote to Wulang Li Yuanying to ask for the title of King of Qin, but I rejected it on the grounds that Wulang was young and did not make an inch.
Today, Erlang is in charge of the dynasty and reconsiders this matter, because Gorou has made a great contribution and can be sealed again. ”
Li Er waved his hand, and the waiter Lao Gao excitedly stepped forward to announce the decree, and glanced at Li Yuanying gratefully in advance, and then read it aloud.
The previous paragraph is to narrate Li Yuanying's life history, and the latter is the key point, when Li Yuanying donated a thousand catties of life-saving food per mu, the Taiji Hall collectively exclaimed.
"It can't be! Your Majesty, how can there be a thousand catties of grain per mu in the world? Please forgive the old minister for being rude, but the minister does not dare to blindly follow the national affairs. Giving the prince the title of king is a matter that can be decided within the royal family, and we have no opinion on what the king of the fifth prince of Your Majesty is.
But this is not possible, in order to create momentum for this prince, you can't just make up lies and falsely report merits, you must know that as soon as such merits come out, all the people in the world can believe it, and it is going to be a mess, please think twice! ”
Before the holy decree was read, it was suddenly interrupted by the cheers of an old minister, and everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Xiao Yu, the veteran of the Three Dynasties and the prime minister of the Song Kingdom.
