Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2980 The secrets of the past

Li Tai was not sure what Fang Jun was really thinking, so he frowned and asked Fang Jun to drink tea.

The two drank a few sips of tea in a muffled voice, before Li Tai said: "If this king begs Erlang to let Chai Zhewei go this time with personal friendship, I wonder if Erlang will agree?"

Fang Jun put down his teacup, looked at Li Tai in astonishment, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your Highness, do you know what this means and what kind of disturbance it will cause?"

Back when Li Tai was fighting for the reserve, he was so arrogant, the Chai brothers were his solid supporters!Now if he pleads with Chai Zhewei for personal reasons, what will the prince think if it reaches the ears of the prince?
No matter how generous and benevolent the crown prince is, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the fact that the brothers who once fought for the heirloom are linked up with the former confidants and the current generals...

This is not the most important thing. Once it is used by someone with a heart, it will be much more serious than Chai Zhewei actually dispatching troops to assassinate him, a minister.

Fang Jun was thinking about whether to reveal the many things that Chai Zhewei and Li Yuanjing were involved in private, when he heard Li Tai sigh, and said: "Confiscation of military funds and embezzlement of military equipment are first-class crimes, plus self-indulgence The soldiers assassinated the court ministers and relatives of the emperor, and it happened at such a critical moment as the father and the emperor's personal conquest... If there is a disturbance at this time, Chai Zhewei's life is safe, but the title of Duke Qiao may be in danger. It's not because he cares about whether Chai Zhewei will be demoted, but if so, how can he treat his aunt?"

Hearing the sighs in Li Tai's words, Fang Jun couldn't help but wonder: "Duke Qiao's title belongs to the Chai family, so what does it have to do with Princess Pingyang Zhao?"

This is really true.

In this society where men are superior to women, the status of women is extremely low. Even a heroine like Princess Pingyang will inevitably become a vassal of men.

Before she got married, she was the daughter of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, but after she got married, she was only Chai Shao's wife. De Yougong said Zhao" as his posthumous title, but it is only written on the epitaph as "Chaimen Li Shi", and he is not even worthy of having a name.

This is the status of a woman in this era. No matter whether the rumors about her relationship with Chai Shao are true or not, she is always attached to the Chai family, and she has nothing that she owns.

Li Tai snorted, and said: "He, Chai Shaohe De, can't do it. He is just a person with a bad heart. If it weren't for his aunt's meritorious service, how could Emperor Gaozu be promoted to the title of Founding Duke?"

"Huh!"

As soon as Fang Jun said this, Fang Jun regained his energy, and the fire of gossip was ignited, and he said excitedly: "I would like to hear the details!"

In history, there are all kinds of rumors about the Princess Pingyang and her husband Chai Shao who made unprecedented feats, but many truths have long been obliterated in the dust of history, and no one has a glimpse of the truth. How could Fang Jun not be interested in hearing the details from those who witnessed it?

Li Tai took a sip of tea, looked at the carved beams, but did not speak out about the secret between Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao, and said slowly: "Father and emperor have many brothers and sisters, but they are the closest to my aunt. And this king is also the most beloved. The last time this king rode a horse before going to the Western Regions was when my aunt helped me onto the horse... Outsiders only know that my aunt is glorious and has won an honor that no woman in this world has ever won, but they don’t know Since Emperor Gaozu started the army, she lost all the happiness of being a woman. The love between men and women and the family relationship are all gone. The life of my aunt is too hard! Many people have persuaded her aunt to remarry, and some people want to let Emperor Gaozu surrender. Sin and Chai Shao, but the aunt's strength, how can ordinary people be able to guess?"

Speaking of this, Li Tai said emotionally: "Chai Shao's title of Qiao Guogong was obtained by his aunt from Emperor Gaozu. Otherwise, because Emperor Gaozu hated Chai Shao, even if he made great achievements, he would never be able to get it. Such a title of an extremely human minister! So although the title of Duke Qiao belongs to the Chai family, in fact, it was bestowed on my aunt by Emperor Gaozu."

His words were not detailed enough to describe the details, but Fang Jun was able to fully outline the truth of the matter by relying on the information he had obtained from history in the past and adding some brain supplements.

Li Tai said that Emperor Gaozu hated Chai Shao, why is this so?Presumably it was precisely because Princess Pingyang and Chai Shao were in Chang'an after Gaozu raised his army in Jinyang. But he ran to Jinyang, leaving Princess Pingyang alone...

Although there are many explanations in the history books, it can be seen from the follow-up Princess Pingyang who lived alone in the princess mansion built for her by Emperor Gaozu, but did not return to Qiao Guogong's mansion, that the husband and wife have broken their friendship.

It is very likely that Chai Shao fled Chang'an in a panic at that time, lest the news of Jinyang's uprising spread to Chang'an and he would be killed.

In the end, he saved his life, but ruined the relationship between husband and wife...

Not only that.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Chai Shao and the prince Li Jiancheng got very close. He was not in Chang'an when the Xuanwu Gate changed. …

Since then, Chai Shao has never been reused again.

Chai Shao participated in the war when Liang Shidu was destroyed and Eastern Turks were destroyed, but he never commanded the army as a general. When the Eastern Turks were destroyed, Li Jing controlled the army. After all, Li Jing's combat ability at that time was not that of Chai. Shao Kebi, but when Liang Shidu was wiped out, His Majesty Li Er took Xue Wanjun's official position as a supervisor in the palace as Chai Shao's deputy general, and Xue Wanjun was in charge of formulating strategies and leading the army to fight...

It can be seen how embarrassing Chai Shao's status was at that time.

It was originally a meritorious service of the Tang Dynasty to establish the country, but the result was that the righteousness of husband and wife was lost first, and then they stood in the wrong team and were not welcomed by the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty. It is really speechless.

……

Speaking of this, Li Tai shook his head, sighed, and said to Fang Jun: "Let's end this matter, and treat it as a favor to the king. Of course it's only once, and it's not an example. What will happen next, this king will not interfere again."

Fang Jun hesitated for a while, but failed to directly agree.

Ordinarily, Li Tai has this face in front of him, but when he thinks of Chai Zhewei colluding with Li Yuanjing in private, he feels like sitting on pins and needles, and always feels that this will be a serious problem.

He pondered and said: "Your Highness should understand that although this time it was my minister who designed Chai Zhewei, it was definitely not out of selfishness..."

Li Tai interrupted him with a wave of his hand, staring into his eyes and said: "I think I should have some face in front of Erlang, Erlang is so slow to agree, but there are still some unspeakable things, and Chai Zhewei related?"

Talking to smart people is easy, Fang Jun nodded and said: "My minister received the news that Chai Zhewei and His Royal Highness King Jing had a private meeting last night."

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, then his face became solemn, but after a while he shook his head and said: "It's just a private meeting, so what? The crown prince probably doesn't know what you want to do to Chai Zhewei, so he will cooperate with you. But once you know that you are going to deal with these things Shaking it out may endanger Chai Zhewei's title, and he will definitely not agree to it. My aunt's love for the prince is definitely no less than this king's."

Fang Jun suddenly had a headache.

He is very familiar with Li Chengqian's temperament. What sounds nice is generosity and kindness, but it is actually a woman's benevolence and indecision. Unless Chai Zhewei really shows signs of rebellion, how can he look at Chai Zhewei's title based on his feelings for Princess Pingyang? Not guaranteed?
The sword has two peaks. Although a benevolent monarch can make the government and the people smooth and smooth, sometimes it is inevitable that his hands will be restrained and he will not be decisive enough to kill.

After thinking for a while, Fang Jun asked: "Then what if the minister just wanted to restrain the Zuo Tunwei so that he could not dispatch troops as he wished?"

Li Tai spread his hands and said, "Of course I will follow you, and I won't ask any questions."

Fang Jun said unhappily: "Who cares if you ask or not? The minister is saying whether the prince can agree?"

Li Tai said angrily: "This king is a nobleman of Tianhuang, the prince of the dynasty, who is your attitude like? No big or small!"

After cursing, he said: "As long as you don't endanger Chai Zhewei's title, even if you break his leg, how can the crown prince be willing to punish you? Now your Fang Er is the number one celebrity in front of the crown prince. Humerus! It’s just that if you want to control things within a controllable range, you must control the inspection of Zuo Tunwei’s account books, not only to find out the problem, but also to keep the problem from being too big. Do you know how to check the account?”

Fang Jun rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "No one knows things like checking accounts better than me!"

It was only then that Li Tai remembered that he was a world-renowned master of mathematics, and the compiled "Mathematics" has now become a compulsory course in Zhenguan Academy...
