Chapter 125: Wei Zheng

Zhang Xuanqing, who was far away in Xianyunguan, didn't know that there was a Taoist priest in Chang'an City who wanted to trouble him, and he didn't know how much trouble he had avoided because of his "otaku" life.

At this time, he was preparing to leave, first went to modern times to buy tents, knives and other wilderness survival equipment, and in the days after waiting for the goods, he has been soaking in ancient times to copy books.

As for what books to copy...... Hehe, of course it's a giveaway.

Because the time ratio of the two time and space was artificially "adjusted" by Zhang Xuanqing, one day in modern times is equal to more than 20 days in ancient times. By the time all kinds of modern equipment arrived, two or three months had passed in ancient times.

Besides, Li Shimin, after saying goodbye to Zhang Xuanqing and going down the mountain, that night, he asked Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong to guard the door for him, and sure enough, there was no dream all night.

The next day, he was in a good mood, rewarded Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, and sincerely thanked him.

Later, according to Zhang Xuanqing's words, he asked the painter to paint portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong. The person invited was none other than Yan Liben, who was the prime minister in the future and is now serving in the Qin Palace.

This person is a famous contemporary Danqing saint, with a profound family knowledge, and it is rumored that his teacher Zhang Seng Qian is the one who "puts the finishing touch".

It is rumored that one year, Emperor Wu of Liang asked Zhang Shengqian to paint for the Anle Temple in Jinling, Zhang Shengqian painted four golden dragons on the walls of the temple, all of them were painted lifelike, vivid, just like the real dragon vivid, the only fly in the ointment is that the four dragons all have no eyes. People asked him to put the dragon's eyes on them, but he said, "It's not difficult to put the dragon's eyes on them, but if you put them on the eyes, the dragon will break through the wall and fly away." When the world heard this, no one believed him, and thought that his explanation was ridiculous, how could the dragon on the wall fly away? As the days went by, many people thought he was lying. In the end, Zhang Seng was forced to have no choice, so he had to agree to give the dragon "eyes", but in order to leave two white dragons in the temple, he was only willing to put the eyes on the other two white dragons. Later, sure enough, when Zhang Seng Miao was in front of everyone, he lifted the paintbrush and gently dotted the eyes of the two dragons. Suddenly, the sky was full of dark clouds, the wind was blowing, thunder and lightning flashed, and in the thunder and lightning, people saw the two dragons that were "eye-catching" break through the wall and rise in the air, and flew into the sky with their teeth and claws. When the clouds cleared and the sky cleared, people looked at the wall again, and they were immediately stunned, only to see that there were only two dragons left on the wall that were not eyed, and the other two dragons that were "eyed" really flew away without knowing where to go.

Of course, the above are legends, but it is debatable whether they are credible or not, but Zhang Seng Miao is indeed a famous painter in history. And Yan Liben himself is also extraordinary, and the portraits of the twenty-four heroes in the Lingyan Pavilion that Li Shimin supervised the construction of in the future were from him. Now that he is also a subordinate of Li Shimin, how dare he not do it when he has received Li Shimin's orders? On the same day, in accordance with the conditions that Li Shimin relayed Zhang Xuanqing's words, he painted a portrait of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong with a fully clothed, majestic, and angry face, and posted it on the door of the Qin Palace.

This night was really safe and sound, and Li Shimin woke up the next day, surprised and happy. I was shocked that Zhang Xuanqing was not lying, and I was happy that I would never have to suffer from sleep and food in the future. However, after the surprise, thinking of what Zhang Xuanqing said when he said goodbye to Zhang Xuanqing that day, he added a little sadness.

He didn't know that all this was his psychological effect, there was no ghost of the prince and the king of Qi to haunt him, and the portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong did not have the ability to ward off evil spirits and scare ghosts, and Zhang Xuanqing may not really have the ability to do things like a god. But in the preconceived situation, he subconsciously felt that Zhang Xuanqing was not an immortal, but also like a fairy, thinking that when he said goodbye that day, Zhang Xuanqing said to let him be careful, and after he ascended the throne, there was a catastrophe that he needed to solve. His heart was heavy, and all kinds of speculations came to mind.

What exactly is a cataclysm?

Is it a natural disaster? or a man-made disaster?

Could it be that Xue Wanche, Feng Li and others want to rebel?

Xue Wanche and Feng Li were both the old departments of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and when the Xuanwu Gate changed, they led the troops of the East Palace to fight, and even counterattacked the Qin Palace, until Li Shimin sent someone to show the head of the prince, they put down their weapons and led dozens of horsemen to flee into Nanshan.

Because the Xuanwumen Revolution had just passed, Li Shimin thought about it and always thought that this situation was the most likely.

Next, he naturally sent troops to investigate, but unfortunately, he checked in the wrong direction.

On the ninth day of August in the ninth year of Wude, Li Yuan abdicated and became the emperor, and Zen was located in Li Shimin. Li Shimin finally ascended the throne as emperor, and the first thing he officially did after ascending the throne was to give amnesty to the world, and at the same time release a large number of palace maids to leave the palace to reunite with their families.

Although this trick is used by emperors of every dynasty and generation, just like Comrade Wei Xiaobao's sycophant, he tried and failed, and soon accumulated considerable popularity and a good reputation for him.

Of course, he didn't let go of secretly investigating Xue Wanche, Feng Li and other Li Jiancheng's old departments. As soon as Li Shimin ascended the throne, those people were afraid that the new emperor would settle accounts with them, so they were ready to strike first -- rebellion. This time, Li Shimin became more and more convinced that what Zhang Xuanqing said that day was the matter.

It's just that things are clear, but it's not easy to solve. Now that he has just ascended the throne, how can he kill people on a large scale, and it is easy to attack the city, it is difficult to attack the heart, killing people can only solve temporary problems, long-term peace and stability and the will of the people are the real challenges, and immediately convene the ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss policies.

Wei Zheng, the counselor, saw Li Shimin's concerns and pointed out the key to the problem: "Now under the whole world, it is not the king's land. The imperial court should treat all people equally, so as to show the emperor's impartial mind and resolve unnecessary disasters. "It is recommended that Li Shimin only punish the first evil, and forgive the rest.

This grandson is also a ruthless man, before the Xuanwumen Change, Wei Zheng, who was the prince at the time, often persuaded Li Jiancheng to get rid of Li Shimin as soon as possible, which was almost an open secret in the officialdom at that time. After Li Shimin took sole power, when he summoned Wei Zheng for the first time, he asked him with a slap in his face: "Why do you separate my brother's feelings?" made everyone present at the time can't help but pinch a cold sweat for Wei Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng's grandson really arrived home, behaved as usual, and said calmly: "If the late prince had listened to my advice earlier, there would definitely not have been today's disaster." ”

Well, Chen Lin in the Three Kingdoms faced Cao Cao, and at most he said: "The arrow is on the string, I have to make my ears!" He Wei Zheng was good, so he almost pointed at Li Shimin's nose and scolded If it weren't for Li Jiancheng not listening to me, you would have died a long time ago.

But what people didn't expect was that Li Shimin was still a "hero who knew and valued heroes", not only did he not slaughter Wei Zheng, but also let him hold an important position. Then, the rebellious governor of Youzhou, Lujiang King Li Ming, was killed by Wang Junkuo, the general of the right leading army, and his head was sent to the capital. Li Shimin really listened to Wei Zheng's suggestion, and even issued an order: "Before June 4, no one who was implicated in the East Palace and the King of Qi, nor anyone who was implicated in Li Jin, was allowed to denounce each other, and those who violated the regulations were punished with false accusations." He also sent Wei Zheng to pacify Shandong and allow him to act at the opportune point.

After that, everything was naturally as the history books said: "Levy to Cizhou, Yuzhou County sent the former prince Qianniu Li Zhi'an, and the Qi King Protector Li Sixing to the Beijing Division, all of which were relieved." In this way, let the world know that Li Shimin is tolerant and benevolent, and his words are counted, and if he says that he will not pursue you, he will not pursue you, and those who have a relationship with the prince and the king of Qi will be relieved, and a rebellion will finally be quelled.

At this time, Li Shimin thought that the "catastrophe" that Zhang Xuanqing said that day had passed, and he was in a good mood, and he was thinking about whether to also seal Zhang Xuanqing as an official seat and pull him into the imperial court. It's a pity, but I don't know that the catastrophe that Zhang Xuanqing said has just begun.
