Chapter 640: History Books
The army returned victoriously again, and included the entire Tuyuhun, Xihai, and Jimo into the scope of the Tang Dynasty, and the road to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty was completely completed.
And defeated Tuyuhun, Datang Hexi Hehuang, and Guanzhong Longyou got rid of the danger of being on the back.
In the Taiji Palace, the victorious generals are drinking here.
This brilliant victory made the whole Tang Dynasty rejoice, and Li Shimin then renamed Li Jing as the Duke of Weiguo, and he was the highest person in the Tang Dynasty, except for the prince's clan.
After Li Jing received the reward, he looked very happy on the surface, but he was really worried in his heart. His status is too high now.
You must know that Li Shentong and Li Daozong's food is not as high as him, such a high-ranking official, and he is not a royal clan, it can be said that Li Jing is a natural target.
Countless people stared at him, and even these people would sue him for rebellion, wanting to use it as a credit for his advancement.
In the hundreds of years since the fall of the Great Qian, there have been many cases of monarchs and ministers turning against each other, and there have been many cases of high merit and self-reliance of powerful ministers.
The most recent one was that Yang Jian took the position of prime minister, overlooked the government and politics, and finally ascended the throne as the emperor, so over the years, the heroes who have made great achievements have almost not ended well, unless they have taken that step.
But this situation is different in Li Shimin's case.
Although Li Jing has made outstanding contributions and is also very popular in the army, Li Shimin is also the emperor immediately, and his reputation is higher, so he is not afraid of Li Jing's rebellion at all, not to mention that in addition to Li Jing, the other senior generals in the army are basically his subordinates.
The most important thing is that Li Shimin is a full twenty-eight years younger than Li Jing, and youth is an advantage.
Therefore, after seeing that Li Jing had reached the point of being a master of high merit, Gao Yongsheng and Shi Tang Fengyi, the governor of Guangzhou, colluded to falsely accuse Li Jing of rebellion because they had a personal vendetta with Li Jing.
In fact, they did not have any evidence of Li Jing's rebellion, and the so-called evidence given by the two was just chasing after the wind. The reason why they dared to do this was that Li Jinggong was highly shocked, and they guessed that Li Shimin wanted to deal with Li Jing, and they wrote this time to give Li Shimin an excuse.
But to the surprise of the two, Li Shimin had no idea of getting rid of Li Jing at all.
The light of the morning light fell on Chang'an City, accompanied by the opening drum of the drum tower, and Chang'an City, which had slept all night, suddenly came to life.
Wang Xuanjing came to the imperial city, as soon as he entered the door, there was already an attendant waiting next to the Xuanwu Gate, seeing Wang Xuanjing's arrival, he hurriedly ran over with a smoke, and said with a smile: "Meet Wang Zhongshu, Your Majesty has an order, saying that if you arrive, please go to the apse to face the monarch immediately." ”
Hearing this, Wang Xuanjing immediately knew that something had happened, so he was not polite immediately, and hurried to the apse directly with the chamberlain.
When Wang Xuanjing entered the main hall, he saw Li Shimin's face gloomy, obviously very angry.
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Xuanjing stepped forward and saluted.
As soon as Li Shimin saw him coming, he immediately said: "Xuanjing, you came just in time, these people are so bold!" ”
"I rewarded Wei Guogong not long ago, and these people actually wrote a letter to accuse Wei Guogong of rebellion!"
Saying that, Li Shimin directly handed a stack of music to Wang Xuanjing.
Looking at the stack of music in his hand, Wang Xuanjing's expression was solemn, who are the people who accuse Li Jing of rebellion, will anyone want to take the opportunity to set off a political storm and seek benefits from it.
Wang Xuanjing has always maintained the stability of the imperial court and implemented new policies, and he does not want any changes in the imperial court. And Li Shimin attaches great importance to Li Jing.
Li Jing can now be said to be the number one trump card in the hands of Li Shimin, and almost after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing participated in all the key battles.
Among them, the defeat of DTZ and the defeat of Tuyuhun are commanded by the coach. Although Li Jing is not Li Shimin's former minister of Qin Wangfu, he has always followed Li Shimin since Li Jing returned to the Tang Dynasty.
He has no doubts about Li Jing's loyalty.
He was angry that someone had falsely accused the important officials of the court.
In the same way, he quickly understood what these people thought, once Li Jing was punished, then the military forces of the DPRK and China would inevitably be suppressed, and many people could even be implicated through Li Jing.
This time, these people made false accusations against Li Jing, so next time are they going to make a move against the Qin Wangfu and the old generals of the Tiance Mansion?
For a long time, there have been many people in the court who are not so obedient to Li Shimin, after all, Li Shimin's ascension to the throne is not so glorious.
Although these people have not said anything, they have secretly been a little ambiguous message.
Li Shimin doesn't have a very good way to deal with these people, after all, it is difficult for this kind of person to catch him.
Wang Xuanjing quickly flipped through the notes, and quickly understood what happened this time, and then said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has its own laws, and if you make false accusations, then you can do it fairly." ”
"Just a lesson for these people." Wang Xuanjing didn't have a good impression of those family valves.
But again I had to use them.
Wang Xuanjing naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to teach them a lesson. It is normal to write a letter of impeachment, and the court should encourage such behavior, but false accusations must be severely punished.
Wang Xuanjing didn't want the Tang Dynasty to make false accusations in the future, and the court did not talk about right and wrong, did not talk about national interests, and only talked about party struggle.
He didn't want to see the court become like this, so once this situation occurred, it had to be suppressed.
Li Shimin also knew that although before becoming the emperor, Li Shimin didn't like to read, but after Wang Xuanjing came to Chang'an, he brought a lot of history books from the Wang family.
After all, Li Shimin had never been an emperor before, and he was not good at court politics at the beginning, and these history books were specially selected by the Wang family to let Li Shimin see clearly the political struggles and various problems in the court.
In this day and age, books have always been precious, let alone history books. Only the Wang family can preserve so many history books.
Wang Xuanjingjin presented a large number of historical books, and Li Shimin carefully read them, and after seeing the history of the previous dynasty and the Liu Song dynasty, the Great Qian, and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he was very moved.
After all, many of the problems encountered by the imperial court now have also appeared in history, and with the lessons from these history books, the Tang Dynasty will do a better job.
It can be said that these historical books dedicated by Wang Xuanjing are the basic version of the emperor's governance, and the emperor's basic textbooks for learning to govern the country.
As long as you study carefully, the emperor is a normal person, even if he can't be a generation of Ming Jun, to the point of an emperor through the ages, he can be a master of success.
It was precisely after understanding these that Li Shimin deliberately did not let Kong Yingda and others serve in the official positions of the crown prince and young master. He has seen Kong Yingda's and others' education methods, and what he has learned is only the Four Books and Five Classics.
After reading the history books sent by the Wang family, he understood that learning these could not govern the country well, so he named Wang Xuanjing as the crown prince and the prince responsible for teaching the prince.
