Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4172 The Lord of Kindness
When Princess Jinyang first heard that Li Zhi might survive even if he was defeated, she blurted out emotionally, and then realized something was wrong, her pretty face flushed immediately, her fair cheeks were as pink as if dyed with a layer of rouge, and her beautiful eyes were shining The glances flowed, and I couldn't help being ashamed.

But she has never taken precautions in front of Fang Jun, so she just said what she said, so what does Fang Jun really want her to do?

If Fang Jun really wanted it, she thought to herself that she would not refuse...

Seeing her younger sister snuggling up beside Fang Jun, her tender body almost hanging on Fang Jun's arm, Changle Xiumei frowned, and scolded: "You are not too young, talking nonsense, what's the point?"

Princess Jinyang is not afraid of her, only by setting an example in everything can she gain prestige, Sister Changle is not upright, and she and her brother-in-law are unclear and confused, what right do you have to control me?

She only held Fang Jun's arm, and asked eagerly: "Brother-in-law, is Brother Pheasant really all right?"

Seeing that she couldn't control Jinyang, Princess Changle was very helpless. After all, she was also guilty, so she had to stare at Fang Jun with a pair of beautiful eyes, which was very warning.

stay away from my sister...

"Cough cough."

Fang Jun also felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to push Princess Jinyang away, let her lean on his arm, feel the beauty of Xiaohe's sharp corners, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to say if there is something, it depends not only on the prince's will , it also depends on the meaning of the ministers. After all, even if the king of Jin is defeated, it is still a hidden danger of treason. The Minister and His Highness have the same opinion, and it is not a bad idea to only imprison King Jin and save his life."

In the final analysis, this matter depends on the attitude of the main civil and military ministers of the Eastern Palace. After all, most of the officials in the court do not belong to the Eastern Palace faction after the crown prince ascended the throne. With compassion, there is a high probability that the boat will go with the flow and agree to save Li Zhi's life.

Of course, the most important thing is whether he is willing to link up with the crown prince and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Eastern Palace, and act as a guarantor in the middle...

Princess Jinyang smiled all of a sudden: "That's really blessed by gods and Buddhas. I haven't been able to sleep for the past two days."

Once he let go of his heavy heart, he let out a long breath and patted his chest with his small hand, calmly...

However, Princess Changle knew that if Donggong Wenwu agreed to keep King Jin alive, Fang Jun would definitely connect with him, and she didn't know how much thought and benefit she would give up, her eyes were reddish, full of affection, and said softly: "Thank you very much. "

Fang Jun laughed, blinked his eyes, and meant something: "It is really an honor for me to be able to serve His Highness like a dog."

Slightly add a middle tone to the four characters of "the work of a dog and a horse"...

Princess Changle blinked her eyes, slightly puzzled, but she was beautiful, intelligent, and sensitive, and she understood the meaning of these four words after a little thought. Immediately, Xia Fei's cheeks filled with shame and annoyance, she spit lightly, turned her head and ignored it This apprentice.

What Lao Shizi is "the work of a dog and a horse", it is both a "dog" and a "horse", disgusting...

Just at this time, the maid brought the meal, and the three of them sat around and ate together, which relieved Princess Changle's embarrassment.

After the meal, Fang Jun declined the two princesses' persuasion, saying: "This matter still needs to be discussed with His Royal Highness, and I will leave first."

The two princesses didn't want to keep him anymore, and they sent him to the door together. Princess Jinyang came to Fang Jun's ear, and whispered: "You must discuss it with the prince brother, and you must keep brother pheasant slave, as long as it is done , there is a reward."

Fang Jun's ears were itchy and his heart was beating fast. He didn't dare to ask Princess Jinyang what the so-called "reward" was, so he responded indiscriminately and fled in a hurry.

This little goblin...

*****
Back at Zhaode Palace, I asked the servant to see the prince, only to find out that Cen Wenwen and Li Jing had not left, they had just had dinner with the prince and were drinking tea in the side hall.

The servant came in to report, then turned around and led Fang Jun in.

The three princes were kneeling and drinking tea on the mat by the window, the rain was gurgling outside the window, these days were rare and relaxing, seeing Fang Jun, he smiled and said: "Come and sit, go to have dinner with Changle and Jinyang?"

Fang Jun came to the mat and knelt down beside Liu Jie. Li Jing had already poured him a cup of tea with a smile. Called over to have dinner, but also talked about some other things."

Li Jing frowned, and reprimanded intentionally, you are a courtier wandering around the palace unscrupulously, going in and out of the princess' bedroom is like entering no one's land, is there any rules?As one of the military leaders, shouldn't there be some taboo?
But thinking that His Majesty Li Er is no longer here, the crown prince obviously indulged and turned a blind eye to the personal relationship between Fang Jun and Princess Changle, so why should he jump out to make people hate him?

Fortunately, Princess Changle is the wife of Heli and has no heirs. Even if she has an affair with Fang Jun, it will not ruin the reputation of the royal family.

Besides, those princesses of Emperor Gaozu have already ruined the reputation of the royal family, especially Princess Fangling...

Since the prince doesn't care, let him go.

Li Chengqian wondered: "What did you talk about?"

Fang Jun took a sip of tea, and told the whole story about King Jin that he had discussed with Changle and Jinyang just now. Finally, he looked at Cen Wenwen and Li Jing, and said: "I think that instead of giving King Jin to death, His Highness the Crown Prince should bear a burden. It is better to save King Jin's life and show mercy to the world, which can more quickly stabilize the hearts of those soldiers and generals who follow King Jin to seek rebellion."

Li Jing frowned and said: "If you forgive King Jin today, you can still live after treason, future generations will inevitably be lucky, and may not follow suit."

The so-called learning from the past and avoiding the future is not the goal of giving the king of Jin to death, but the goal of deterring others from rebellion by means of thunder.

If the King of Jin survives his rebellion, others will naturally be lucky.

Fang Jun said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, treason is a capital crime, but in the past dynasties, has there ever been a cessation of treason? Conspiring rebellion and stealing the throne, the benefits you can get are too great, even if you pay your life, it is worth it. So someone seeks rebellion not because of whether they will die after failure, but because of whether there is a chance of rebellion."

A mere life is really nothing compared to the huge benefits of usurping the throne. As long as there is a chance, anyone has to fight, even if the result is death without a place to die.

He continued: "Besides, once the King Jin is defeated, he will lose all his prestige. How can he have the ability to conspire against him again? Imprisoning a prince who rebels against him is more important to show the prince Your Highness's generosity and forgiveness, Duke Wei must know that there are countless people who are worried and fearful in the government and the public, if they can't be appeased this morning, there will be twists and turns in the future."

His Majesty Li Er died violently. Before the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the King of Jin rebelled against him, claiming that he had His Majesty Li Er's edict in his hand... It is actually difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this edict, so many people in the court and the opposition are watching. He refused to directly recognize the orthodox identity of the prince.

When King Jin is destroyed and the crown prince ascends the throne, how can these people not worry that the crown prince will settle accounts and cause trouble for them?

There is fear in the heart and panic in the heart, and it is inevitable to bury hidden dangers.

If the crown prince can show his tolerance and generosity, even the chief villain of treason can be forgiven, what else do other people have to be afraid of?

It is more conducive to rapid stabilization of the situation.

Cen Wenwen, who seldom speaks out recently, thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "Erlang's words are quite reasonable. The inheritance of the throne should avoid killing as much as possible. There is no possibility of raising troops anymore, and the pardon just shows the generosity of His Royal Highness, and makes the ruling and opposition parties quickly stabilize."

The general trend of the world never depends on the life or death of a certain person. Even if His Majesty Li Er is as wise and powerful as Li Er, once he dies, as long as the political situation of the empire is stable, it can run smoothly according to the previous law. What is the life and death of King Jin?
The most important thing is to quickly stabilize the government, minimize the losses caused by this mutiny, and then recuperate. It will take a few years to recover. With the generosity and stability of the prince, it may not be possible to make the country more powerful in a few years. During the Zhenguan period, he went a step further.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing said with a smile: "How can we not know His Highness's intentions? King Jin is certainly a death penalty, but since His Highness does not bear to kill and wholeheartedly defends, the old minister has no objections."

"That's it, thank you all my loves!"

Li Chengqian was very excited, got up, bowed to the ground, and saluted solemnly to show his heart.

How could he not know that the crime of treason committed by King Jin would not be wronged even if he died ten times?However, all the ministers were scruples that he could not bear to give a dead hand to the righteousness of the whole brother, and they tried their best to pardon King Jin's crimes, which made him very grateful.

Since ancient times, no one has survived such a serious crime of treason...

A few people dared not accept the gift, they hurriedly got up to avoid it, and bowed to return the gift.

Cen Wenwen said: "Why should your Highness do this? You have always been kind and can't bear to be harsh on your ministers. This is the blessing of our courtiers, and it is also the blessing of the billions of people in the Tang Dynasty. We should thank Your Highness."

Li Jing also said: "When the rebellion is pacified and the world is cleansed, it is time to implement benevolent government and recuperate. Your Highness will carry on the past and forge ahead, and create a great cause. Your Majesty's spirit in heaven can also rest in peace."

No courtier is willing to meet a tyrannical and harsh emperor. Under the imperial power system, the life and death of hundreds of millions of people are in the hands of the emperor. Life and death are tied between the emperor's joy and anger. Who can stand this?

Even though he has long been determined to become an official, he is still willing to see a forgiving and benevolent emperor in power, so that everyone can live a lighter life without having to sleep all night and walk on thin ice...

Cen Wenwen reminded Fang Jun: "His Royal Highness's ascension to the throne has been put on the agenda. Regarding the selection of the reign name, the Ministry of Rituals should draft it as soon as possible, and let His Highness confirm it, so as not to delay it. It is auspicious."

Fang Jun smiled wryly: "This matter still needs the help of great Confucian scholars in the court and China. How can I take on the important task?"

The emperor's year name is a major event, which contains the emperor's ambition and vision, and there are many rules.

In particular, the repetition of the new emperor's year name with the previous emperor's year name should be done with caution.This is not to say that the reign name cannot be repeated, there is no rule for this, and some reign names are even repeated on purpose. For example, Emperor Guangwu Zhongxing Han Dynasty, his reign name "Jianwu" was very popular with some emperors during the decline of the national fortune. Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Emperor Qi Ming of the Southern Dynasty all used this year name.The most troublesome thing is oversight, inadvertently using someone else's year name, so it is easy to repeat some bad year names, which has an ominous meaning.

For example, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's year name "Yongle", if he knew that Fang La, who was called a "thief" in the orthodox dynasty after the Song Dynasty, also used this year name, I am afraid he would not use it...

Fang Jun thought to himself that copying poems and songs would be okay, but it would be too difficult for him to choose a year name from the dictionary.

I can't do it below...
