Chapter 554: Li Er bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and the Tibetan envoy proposed marriage
LI Shimin; “……”
"The former, the former is okay, right?"
He let out a long sigh and said,
"I'm thinking of old love! Luckily? ”
"You know, you all know! I have always been emotional, Hou Junji has made great contributions to me, and when he fought the world, he rushed to the forefront; When he was in Xuanwumen, he also firmly followed! ”
"I used to say that if you live up to me, I will live up to you!"
Xu Fenglei snorted coldly, noncommittal.
Of course he knew that this was Li Er's old problem!
Last time, I was moved by compassion, and in the end I didn't kill Hou Junji, but this time I moved again!
True.
For a courtier, such a monarch is good.
Even if he makes a mistake, he will help him cover it up and help him exonerate himself - in all dynasties, there are very few monarchs who can think of old feelings like this.
"I ...... Let's get the shot! ”
Li Shimin saw Xu Fenglei's displeasure, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If you are unhappy, you will show your true emotions.
The most uncomfortable thing is that the skin is not smiling, and the feeling of being polite with a mask can make people uncomfortable to death!
"If it weren't for the scruples of you, Hou Junji's corruption, I would have reprimanded him at most and belittled him to be an official in other places!"
Li Er confessed,
"It is precisely because of your thoughts that I sentenced him to death, and every year I racked my brains to give him a reprieve, carefully give him some treatment, and let him live as comfortably as possible in prison."
"I'm not ignoring you or disrespecting you. On the contrary, I respect you too much! Otherwise, I would have come to see you today? ”
He paused, and said with some anger:
"Who doesn't know that your complaint is fake? Who doesn't know that you're putting on a face for me? I know it all! But I'm still here! I thought I had a bad attitude just now, and I turned back to apologize to your kid! ”
"Special mother's ...... It's not so hard to coax a lady! ”
Hearing this, Eldest Sun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both laughed.
"Yes, yes...... I can testify that Your Majesty still has great respect for the opinion of the Grand Master. ”
"I can also testify, Master Taishi, don't be angry, Your Majesty also said, just this once, don't take it as an example!"
The two came out to help, where do they still remember Li Shimin's 'domineering remarks' when he was in prison?
"Humph......"
Xu Fenglei clasped his hands to his chest and asked rhetorically,
"Really, don't you make an example?"
"The last time I told me not to take it as an example, I believed it; This time, tell me not to take it as an example. Can I believe it again? ”
"Your Majesty himself said that Chrysostom cannot be changed once it is opened, but here with me, you have broken your word!"
Hou Jun gathered in his heart, he was bound to die!
Under Li Shimin's mediation, it is already a compromise to be able to let him go to prison for life.
But now, there is such a thing again.
Do you want him to compromise again and again?
Until I watched Hou Junji come out of the prison openly?
That's something he absolutely can't accept!
"This time, really, really...... Don't take it as an example! ”
Li Shimin raised his hand and promised,
"I won't visit him again! There will be no more messy thoughts! ”
"That's the end of it, let him spend his old age in prison! If I break my promise in the future, you say...... Do whatever you say, I don't have to say anything! ”
Li Er almost swore a gambling curse at this moment!
Xu Fenglei saw that his attitude was quite sincere, and his expression finally eased.
"Actually, I don't have to get along with you, Your Majesty."
He said,
"Since you also confessed, then I am also calm!"
"Don't blame me for being straightforward, my Liangzi with Hou Junji has already been concluded! The kind that never dies! ”
"I want to kill him, how could he not want to kill me? What you are doing is giving him hope and threatening me! ”
"On the day he was sent home, he didn't know how many ways to deal with me in the future!"
"You say, can I be happy about this?"
The beam between the two sides is the seesaw.
When one side gains power, it will inevitably suppress the other party fiercely and suppress it to death!
In the current situation, Xu Fenglei suppressed Hou Junji.
But Li Shimin suddenly entered and lifted Hou Junji!
How can Xu Fenglei bear it?
I can't bear it, okay!
Li Shimin's brows were furrowed, and his expression was a little tangled.
As the emperor, he really didn't want to see the two heroes under his command turn against each other and fight to the death.
After all, for him, there are feelings......
"Alas! I know, I know. ”
Li Er finally reassured again and again,
"I won't embarrass you again...... Put this luggage away, weird ......."
After that, he gave the eldest grandson Wuji a look.
"Yes! Taishi...... Even if you want to go back to Moyu Mountain, you have to go back in style, don't you? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji quickly stepped forward, pulled Xu Fenglei's luggage, and said with a smile,
"It's like an ascetic, and those who don't know think you're in a famine......"
"We're all people with status, and we have to have all the specifications we should have, don't you say?"
Xu Fenglei pursed his lips, but he didn't stop him, and let him take the package.
"There are mountains in the world, escape. The gentleman is far from the villain, not evil and strict. ”
He said,
"I am following the Tianshan Hexagram in the Book of Changes, not arguing with villains, or escaping from the people, or escaping in the mountains and forests, I will go away."
"Have you ever seen someone who has escaped, and you still make a big fuss?"
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled awkwardly.
"Where is there a villain? No villains, no villains......"
He replied,
"You don't have to argue, you're right."
"Come, sit, sit. I'll pour you tea, everyone will replace the wine with tea, drink a cup, and be harmonious, okay? ”
After all, the eldest grandson Wuji really personally brought a teapot and a teacup, and poured a cup for Xu Fenglei, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.
"Here, raise a glass."
He laughed,
"After drinking this cup, we don't have the so-called contradictions...... All distractions dissipate. ”
All three of them toasted.
"Your Majesty, I can stay, but when I want to be free, I will go back to Moyu Mountain."
Xu Fenglei raised his glass and looked at Li Shimin, and said,
"After all, my fiefdom is there, and there are some old people...... I want to go back and see twice. ”
Li Shimin's expression softened.
"Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night, I am gracious."
He answered,
"However, my condition is to go back with the pomp of the Duke of Guo, so that the people over there can take a good look and envy and envy!"
"Otherwise, if you don't know, you still think that I treat heroes harshly!"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
"Definitely, definitely."
He tilted his head and drank the tea.
The other three naturally drank the tea, and the atmosphere finally returned to harmony.
"It's not too early, I'll go back to the palace first."
Li Shimin greeted,
"You are not allowed to be absent from the political hall meetings in the past few days!"
"If you are absent again, don't talk about this year's Yulu, you won't have any Yulu in the next ten years!"
This seems to be a warning, but in fact, there is no threat to Xu Fenglei.
He really doesn't like those children.
However, in order to save face for the emperor, he quickly surrendered:
"Yes."
"Your Majesty will go slowly, and the minister will send you."
Under his send-off, Li Shimin and the three of them left the Xuguo Mansion and entered the alleyway.
Li Shimin:"#¥%......#@!! ”
He walked in front, muttering and swearing, and neither of them knew what he was talking about.
It wasn't until I got closer and listened to it that I understood.
"Special mother, this is the first time I've whispered like this!"
Li Er scolded and said,
"If it weren't for your great merit, hum! Hum hum hum ......"
He sat there and talked to himself, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were snickering.
"What are you two laughing at?"
Li Shimin looked unkind and asked.
Fang Xuanling said: "Cough, back to Your Majesty, Weichen thought of something happy." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji also froze his expression and said, "The minister is the same, he thought of something happy. ”
Li Shimin: "? ”
"your fart! You two haven't had a child recently, where is the happy thing? ”
He laughed and scolded,
"Say! Isn't it a joke! ”
"Frankly and leniently, I have not come to hold you accountable, if you talk nonsense, I will punish your crimes!"
Having said that, Li Er was not angry at the moment.
The two ministers are naturally more courageous.
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled:
"Okay, okay...... The minister was thinking that His Majesty had made a correct choice, and the minister was also happy for His Majesty. ”
Li Shimin was stunned.
"What choice?" He asked.
"This choice is actually - is Hou Junji important, or is Xu Fenglei important?"
The eldest grandson Wuji responded,
"The answer is naturally obvious - it must be Xu Fenglei who is important! He is the master of the dynasty, and he is the first hero of your appointment! ”
"But it's this first hero, who was almost forced away by your wrong behavior, and we all sweated for you!"
Li Shimin frowned slightly, a little silent.
"yes."
Fang Xuanling answered,
"Even if it is no matter how big or small the merit is, in terms of right and wrong, it is Hou Junji's fault first, and it is natural for the Taishi to suppress it!"
"If Your Majesty insists on letting Hou Jun come out, it will not only chill the heart of the Taishi, but also the hearts of the people of the world! After all, there are moths in the imperial court, which are harmful to everyone in the world! ”
Li Shimin pursed his lips.
"Okay...... I didn't think much of it. ”
He shook his head and sighed,
"If you think about it, it's really a bit of a miscarriage."
"If Hou Junji commits other crimes, there is still room for discussion, this corruption is digging the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"
"If you open up to him, it will inevitably make the government and the opposition brew an extremely bad atmosphere! If you don't keep it, some people will be proud of their high merits, and they will also learn from Hou Junji! ”
"If it's bad like that, politics is bad......"
When the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling heard this, they both nodded.
"Your Majesty is very true."
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"That's it!"
He said,
"Today the Chrysostom is opened, and you must abide by it!"
"From now on, Hou Junji's side, I won't ask again!"
"But as I said before, I still have to do the matter of improving the treatment - in this way, I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous."
"It's not too early, you all go back! I had my own guards to escort him back to the palace. ”
"Yes, the minister retired." The two glanced at each other, both relaxed their minds, and retreated.
……
The heat is fading and the weather is cold.
Unconsciously, the seventh year of Zhenguan is also approaching its end.
Inside the Chang'an Post House.
"Duke Tang, please also be sure to inform His Majesty the Heavenly Khan of Zampu's request."
A man in strange clothes saluted Tang Jianchang and pleaded,
"It's important, really."
Tang Jian stroked his beard, but his expression was a little embarrassed.
"Envoy Gar, I will definitely help to play, but if His Majesty the Emperor agrees or not, then I don't know."
He said,
"After all, there are really many countries where I have asked to marry a princess in the Tang Dynasty over the years."
"For example, Murong Lin, the Tuyuhun envoy next door to you, he also played, Tuyuhun and Datang can be regarded as having a bit of friendship, and they bow down to their ministers, but even so...... Your Majesty hasn't even said yes. ”
"You Tubo and my Tang Dynasty have never had a relationship, and this is the first time you come, you ask to marry a princess, which is probably a bit difficult."
The person in front of him was the Tibetan envoy - Gardonzan.
That is, the famous minister of Tubo in the future - Lu Dongzan!
Of course, at this time, he was just a hairy boy, and he didn't have the identity of the Tibetan prime minister, just a messenger.
"Alas! This...... All right. ”
Lu Dongzan said helplessly,
"Then no matter what, please ask Tang Gong to say a few words, if you can let me see His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, it will naturally be great!"
"I believe that as long as you see my sincerity and see Zampu's sincerity, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan will definitely agree!"
Tang Jian patted him on the shoulder.
"Definitely, definitely."
With that, he had turned and left.
Sincerity?
Every envoy who came to the Tang Dynasty to meet and worship looked very sincere.
But what happened behind the scenes, who knows?
Let's just say that the Tuyuhun envoy has been talking with Datang for a long time.
At first, they asked the lord of the country, Murong Fuyun, to come and ask for guilt, but they resigned.
Then he retreated and asked the prince of Tuyuhun, Murong Zun, to come to Chang'an to ask for guilt, but people talked about him left and right and wanted to ask to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty!
He didn't even know what to tell His Majesty about this.
If you agree and come up with some other moths, then Your Majesty won't be angry? Maybe I'll have to destroy you!
Maybe you'll have to blame him then......
Now, Tubo, who can't be beaten by eight poles, has come to ask for marriage again.
Ask for a kiss, ask for a kiss, ask for your uncle's kiss!
Without a Tang woman, you can't live, right?
It's just sick! The princesses of our Datang Dynasty are all expensive, and they are not wholesale, and a dozen of them can be sent out!
Alas!
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Anyway, this Honglu Siqing is really not good!
"Tuyuhun can ask for marriage, why can't I Tubo?"
Sambazaar, the messenger beside Lu Dongzan, said angrily,
"That Tuguhun is far worse than our Tubo!"
"Tian Khan, this is not to understand the strength of our Tubo, but to know the strength of our Tubo, he will definitely be happy to marry this princess!"
"Marrying our Zampu, that's also a blessing for the princess of the Tang Dynasty!"
Lu Dongzan's expression was grim.
"Don't talk nonsense! Shut up! ”
He scolded,
"This is Datang! It's not your home in Tibet! ”
