Chapter 11: Impeached
Li Shen's life returned to peace. Two o'clock and one line these days. Guozijian, Dajidian. During this period, a few concubines who were good friends with Wei Guifei came to visit, and when they saw Li Shen's chair and use, they asked Li Shen to make a few sets.
In addition, Li Shen just likes to lie down and sleep in the gazebo. May is the time of spring. Li Shen guarded the store alone in his previous life, and he didn't have time to travel for several years. Now that he has crossed over, of course, he should relax his mind. Enjoy the view. It's a pity that he is still young. Otherwise, there is another beauty next to it. That's a beautiful thing in life.
-------------------------------------
At this time, the early dynasty had a different taste. After discussing politics, Li Shimin was ready to go to court. immediately asked: "Zhongqing still has something to do?" ”
"The minister has something to do," a man stood up as he spoke. Yushitai Yushi's surname is Cui.
"Come on," Li Shimin said
"The minister impeached the king of Shen, and Li Shen did not want to make progress. Strange tricks and tricks, abandoning ancestral traditions. Cui Yushi prelude report
"Who? Who to impeach? Li Shimin thought he had misheard. Asked again
"Your Majesty. The minister impeached Li Shen, the king of Shen. Cui Yushi said solemnly.
"Your Majesty. The minister also impeached King Shen Li Shen and forgot his ancestors, "Another imperial historian also stood up and said.
This is a terrible situation. Discussions began in the court. Don't know what's going on.
"Isn't King Shen Li Shen 7 years old this year?"
"What did King Shen do?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of it. ”
"A Cui family. A royal family. What the hell did King Shen do? ”
Li Shimin also didn't believe his ears. Li Shen is only 7 years old. What is not enterprising, strange and ingenious, abandoning ancestral traditions. The number of dictionaries has been used. Forgetting one's ancestors is not filial piety, and the word filial piety was very important in ancient times. Li Shimin thinks it's a bit of a fuss.
"Oh. Cui Yushi, I don't know what King Shen did. Li Shimin was very curious about what Li Shen had done
"Back to Your Majesty. Weichen heard that King Shen specialized in miscellaneous studies in the palace. It also removed the collapse in the Daji Hall and replaced it with tables and chairs. Isn't that a trick? And there are clear regulations in the etiquette system. King Shen's abandonment of collapse is the abandonment of etiquette. Replace it with something from the Hu people. Since ancient times, we have sat on our knees. Therefore, Weichen said that the number of books forgets his ancestors, and it is not only in the Daji Palace. Even King Shen made a few sets of giveaways. His Majesty took the scholars in order to win the talents of the world. Confucianism is orthodoxy. King Shen should have studied it. Share your Majesty's worries. You shouldn't do such a tricky thing. Please decree the abolition of strange and ingenious things. Let King Shen devote himself to learning. Cui Yushi's righteous words said.
Li Shimin listened and frowned. It's not because it's a big deal, it's just a trivial matter. Thinking about it. Li Shimin seems to have figured it out, this is a warning from the family to Li Shen for the sake of fame. It means that you have learned with all your heart. Don't look for trouble. Thinking of this, Li Shimin was also very unhappy. Because the family warned Li Shen that he would let him do it.
"Cui Yushi. Whether or not to make a big fuss, Li Shen is still a child. It's just a bit of fun. You say that forgetting your ancestors is a bit serious. Li Shimin said expressionlessly
"Your Majesty. The minister thinks that what Cui Yushi said is not an exaggeration at all. Gifts must not be abolished. Ancestors must not be forgotten. If it becomes popular at this time, won't it run counter to the way of the saints? Wang Yushi said
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask His Royal Highness King Shen to come over. Ask clearly. After all, there is no basis for words. At this time, Fang Xuanling saw that Li Shimin was a little embarrassed to help relieve the siege. In fact, Fang Xuanling also thinks that this is a trivial matter at all. There's no need to take it up. But when it comes to the family and the prince, no one says it.
"Okay, Wang De, go and pass Li Shen over," Li Shimin instructed Wang De
"Yes, everybody." Wang De responded and went out to make arrangements.
At this moment, Li Shen is basking in the sun under the eaves of Guozijian's room. It's recess time. Li Shen likes to bask in the sun. In his words, it is to supplement calcium in the sun and grow up. He couldn't afford to waste this good gene.
"His Royal Highness King Shen. His Royal Highness King Shen. Your Majesty will send you to the Taiji Palace. A eunuch rushed over.
"What do you mean. Looking for me to go to the Tai Chi Temple? Li Shenmeng was gone.
"Yes, let's go, don't make Your Majesty wait long." The eunuch said anxiously
"Oh, okay," Li Shen said and got up. Then say hello to your classmates passing by. Let him tell Jiao Yu that he is going to the Taiji Palace, and follow the eunuch to the Taiji Palace.
Along the way, Li Shen asked His Majesty, the eunuch who led the way, what was going on with him. This eunuch didn't know either. After a while, they arrived outside the Taiji Hall. Wang De saw Li Shen coming, and hurriedly led Li Shen inside. Try to Taiji Hall Li Shen hurriedly saluted.
"Meet Your Majesty"
"Well, excuse me. Li Shen, I came to you today because Cui Yushi and Wang Yushi impeached you, saying that you are ingenious and have forgotten your ancestors. Do you have something to say," Li Shimin didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to Li Shen
"What???" Li Shen was stunned. Didn't react. I thought to myself, am I impeached? Hurriedly asked,
"I don't know what the two imperial historians impeached me."
"His Royal Highness King Shen. Dare to ask if you made the tables and chairs. At this time, Cui Yushi stood up. Ask directly:
"yes. What's wrong. Li Shen replied truthfully.
"Your Highness can govern the system of etiquette, and there is a collapsed system. If you replace the collapse with tables and chairs, you are abandoning the ancestral system. Cui Yushi said again.
Li Shen was blinded. It turns out that it's just because of this little thing. It's just a table and chair, as far as that's concerned. Let the emperor specially find him to confirm. Or abandon the ancestral system. Suddenly, Li Shen thought of something and asked.
"Dare to ask, Your Excellency's surname."
Everyone was stunned, and some of them were because Li Shen didn't know Cui Yushi. Some are because Li Shen answered the question. And some people see something in it. For example, Li Shimin above. When Li Shen asked the other party's surname. Li Shimin knew that this kid was a little smart. I must have guessed that it was the family.
"Xiaguan Cui Renzhi." Cui Yushi replied.
"Oh. The surname is Cui. Xiao Wang wanted to ask Cui Yushi. Whose ancestors are you referring to by ancestry? I, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and my imperial grandfather did not stipulate that it must be used. We're just continuing the habits of the previous dynasties. But there are some bad habits that I Datang will also abandon one by one. This is called removing the old and making the new. There are my own cultural characteristics. Take history as a mirror. can make me Li Tang for thousands of generations. You say yes, Cui Yushi? Li Shen asked rhetorically
This question made Cui Yushi speechless. This is not a violation of law and discipline in the first place. It was just to give Li Shen a warning that he insisted on talking about small things. But he didn't expect Li Shen to not only explain clearly. I also asked him a rhetorical question.
I thought it was a 7-year-old child. Even if it's smart. Scare and it's over. For Li Shimin.
There is no way, Cui Yushi can only say hard. "It's been true since time immemorial. How can you say that change is changed. ”
"Cui Yushi's affairs since ancient times are not the ancestral system. If you change it, you change it. You're so entangled, it's out of order. With this energy, it is better to come up with a few more good strategies for Your Majesty. Cultivate a few more talents. Li Shen didn't want to mess around with him.
"His Royal Highness King Shen. My duty to be the historian is to hear the news and report it. Check the words and deeds of hundreds of officials. Isn't this for His Majesty's worries? And His Royal Highness King Shen, you don't concentrate on studying, and do some strange and clever things all day long, you really shouldn't be. Choi retorted.
"Oh. You're right. That being the case. Then I should do something too. Li Shen was also a little angry, and his heart was crossed. Since you want to warn me out of nothing by this little thing. Then I don't have to be polite to you. Then he turned and shouted to the outside of the temple:
"Dongmei. Go get my key and take the top few pieces of paper from the box," Li Shen took the key from his waist and threw it out of the hall.
Li Shimin and the ministers were inexplicable. I don't know who he's talking to. Li Shen stopped talking after throwing the key out. The hall was unusually silent. Li Shimin didn't ask. He wanted to see what Li Shen would do next.
