Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2431 Prejudice
Anyone who minted coins privately must be disobedient and intend to usurp the throne.

The Gao family is a relative of the emperor, and Gao Shilian is the minister of the humerus that His Majesty Li Er can usurp the throne against him. This kind of meritorious service from the dragon is enough to ensure that the Gao family will live with the country and prosper for generations. His Majesty Li Er is really Can't think of why Gao Xing should participate in the minting case?
Could it be that he wants to prove that his generation is stronger than the previous generation, that his father Gao Shilian received the merits of the dragon, and he will do it again according to the gourd painting?
His Majesty Li Er really couldn't think of a reason for Gao Xing to be involved in the minting case.

Therefore, it is taken for granted that this may be Changsun Wuji's innocent talk, intending to hit Gao Shilian.

This is too much...

When the grandson Sheng died of illness, Emperor Sui Yang granted his title to be inherited by the young grandson Wuji with a lot of rewards, but Changsun Wuji was rejected by his eldest son, Anye, who was born to his original wife, and was expelled from the house. He had to rely on his uncle Gao Shilian, and then he settled down. Under Gao Shilian's upbringing, he grew up with his younger sister.

Therefore, regardless of Gao Shilian's illustrious achievements when the Tang Dynasty was founded, the kindness of nurturing alone is enough for Changsun Wuji to repay him for the rest of his life.

Before Empress Wende died, she asked him to take care of Gao's family in the future. If there is no serious mistake, she will be punished lightly...

Now Changsun Wuji not only does not repay the kindness of raising him, but instead takes advantage of the situation to attack the Gao family, intending to steal the benefits of the Gao family. Is this something human can do?

Benefits are the eternal pursuit of a family. You must put interests first at all times. Even if you sacrifice your life, you must protect the interests of your family. His Majesty Li Er agrees with this, because he himself was born in a family, and he understands that this is the reason for a family. The foundation that survives and prospers from generation to generation.

However, if only interests are in their eyes, and all the etiquette, justice, shame, kindness, filial piety are all left behind, such people are extremely contemptible.

The gentleman is magnanimous.

How can we be open-minded?Naturally, they are selfless, generous and loving in their hearts. If even the grace of nurturing is left behind, how is it different from humans and animals?

Chong Er, son of the Jin Dynasty, fled to Chu. King Cheng of Chu treated Chong Er with courtesy, and Chong Er promised to "retreat three houses". Later, Chong Er returned to the country to govern. Back then, King Cheng of Chu treated him with courtesy.

This is true among countries, let alone people?
His Majesty Li Er was sullen in his heart, his face sank like water, and he said calmly: "Mr. Shen Guo has made great contributions to the country and worked half his life for the empire. Now that he has returned to his hometown as an official, the empire must not forget his contribution. Gao Xing's temperament is reckless and he is not thoughtful. You have to carefully screen the auxiliary machine used by others, don't wrong innocent people, and don't have scruples because you are relatives with Gao Xing, worrying about being misunderstood by others and favoring him."

Changsun Wuji was a little confused, why did I not dare to take him out of the case because of my relationship with Gao Xing?
Gao Xing and Qiu Xinggong often meet in private, and they have repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with the current state policy. Wuji suspected that it was the coin minting workshop, but he was afraid that after sending troops to investigate it, it would be confirmed that it was related to Gao Xing, and then the entire Gao family would be involved, so he never did a thorough investigation.

How did it come to His Majesty, but became dissatisfied with being too business-like and unwilling to let Gao Xun be lenient?

You remember Gao Shilian's contribution to support and protection back then, have I forgotten Gao Shilian's kindness in nurturing?
Thinking in his heart, Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The old minister dare not forget Shen Guogong's kindness for a day, but... so that His Majesty can know that after enjoying the lotus in the Furong Garden the day before yesterday, Shen Guogong went to the British Duke. The old officials did not know what they were talking about, but afterward, the British minister signed a transfer order for Gao Xing, allowing him to resign from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and transfer to Hengzhou to serve as the governor. All the procedures are in place, and it is as if I left for Hengzhou yesterday to take up my post."

"Ok?"

His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and was taken aback for a moment.

Rush to Hengzhou...to take office?
He took a closer look at Changsun Wuji's expression, and Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and nodded, meaning that your majesty guessed right.

Gao Xun... absconded in fear of crime.

His Majesty Li Er's expression was extremely ugly.

He didn't think that Gao Xingzheng made a serious mistake, he was afraid that the national law would not tolerate it, so he avoided going to Hengzhou to stay away from the center, and hoped that His Majesty Li Er would not be held accountable for the merits of the Gao family's kindness.

On the contrary, he preconceived that it was the elder Sun Wuji's pretext to bite him, which caused Gao Shilian to panic. Gao Shilian also had to retreat, and took the initiative to ask Gao Xing to give up his central office and go to Hengzhou, a place where the people are struggling to live, to serve as an official...

My heart became more and more unhappy.

That's your cousin. The uncle who has cared for you is not dead yet, so you can bite him so unscrupulously?Furthermore, although the Bohai Gao family has a great influence, after Gao Shilian became an official, there are no high-ranking people under his sect. Even if you are fighting for power and profit, you can't afford to stare at the Gao family's mosquito meat, right?

Ruthless and ruthless, these are the labels His Majesty Li Er bestowed upon Changsun Wuji...

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since I have entrusted you to take charge of this case, how to interrogate and how to investigate is naturally up to you. If Gao's performance is deeply involved in the case, of course he will be punished according to the national law, but after all, Shen Guogong's face The most important thing is that when you investigate the case, you must be rigorous and focus on evidence first, and you must not chill the heart of the meritorious officials."

Changsun Wuji became more and more uncertain about His Majesty Li Er's mind. Even if the evidence of Gao Xing's participation in the private minting of coins was solid, he was nothing more than an accomplice in the final analysis. Could it be possible that he could be convicted of a felony and made public?

His Majesty said these words, could it be that he was worried that he would deliberately frame him?
Not to mention that Gao Shilian only has one breath, his eldest grandson Wuji can't do anything to the Gao family even if he kills all the people in the world. , Cold-blooded infamy?

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to say: "The old minister obeys the order."

After talking for a while, he left with the dossier in hand.

His Majesty Li Er had only flipped through this file, but had no in-depth understanding of the details, which disturbed Changsun Wuji very much.

Not only must the two cases be brought to light, but also ensure the stability of the government, and I have to profit from it... The key is that His Majesty Li Er did not give a clear definition after all, who can be touched and who cannot be touched , You need to explore slowly by yourself.

This is so difficult...

*****
When Changsun Wuji left, His Majesty Li Er sat alone in the hall, sipping tea slowly, and his thoughts turned quickly.

After a long time, he put down his teacup, called the servants to help him take a bath and change clothes, and then walked to Princess Jinyang's bedroom.

Unlike Princess Changle's sleeping palace, Shujing Hall, which is light and elegant, Princess Jinyang's place is richly furnished, with polished floors, and furniture made of clean, top-grade red sandalwood. Under a layer of clear paint, it looks more and more natural and beautiful. Exquisite porcelain and glass products can be seen everywhere, as well as luxurious accessories from the Western Regions of Nanyang.

His Majesty Li Er was a little speechless. This seemed to be more like a king's bedroom than his Dragon Palace, and the luxury of the two was beyond measure.

It is true that His Majesty Li Er has always been frugal since he became the throne. When Empress Wende was still alive, a dress had been worn for many years, and the color of the wash was a little whitish, but she was reluctant to change it.On the one hand, the country is waiting to be prosperous, and it is not easy to be extravagant as an emperor. On the other hand, His Majesty Li Er is holding back his energy to prove to the world that although he is not in the right position, he is a really good emperor.

In recent years, although the domestic funds are sufficient, the gold and silver from the Japanese kingdom have arrived in Chang'an one by one, and the life of His Majesty Li Er has gradually become richer. There are more and more luxuries that have never been seen in the past, but after all, he has been diligent and thrifty for many years. , and the ambition is not here, still not too extravagant.

However, every time he came to Princess Jinyang's dormitory, His Majesty Li Er would feel a deep sense of displeasure.

It's not that the majestic emperor envies that his daughter is more luxurious than himself, and that he doesn't like luxury, so he doesn't have to force his children to be as frugal as he is, but when he thinks that the entire palace's furnishings are all given by Fang Jun His Majesty Li Er was troubled when he came into the palace...

Even if your housewife is wealthy and you have too much money to spend, but you still treat your sister-in-law so generously, what the hell are you trying to do?
