Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 493
Liu Mu also wanted to hide, and Liu Mu didn't want to be attached to this big trouble.

So Liu Mu became very serious: "Father, second brother. My eldest brother-in-law rushed to kill the enemy and shed countless blood for Datang. He has never been timid in the face of several times the enemy, but at this time, is it true that father and second brother I don’t think my eldest brother-in-law is scared, but very scared.”

Li Yuan and Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong at the same time. They knew Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong's reaction was indeed abnormal.

Liu Mu said again: "Second brother, countless people who care about this edict cannot be absolutely fair. Just like some meritorious deeds in the army that are not included in the military article, some people in the court think that this merit is great, and some People think that this is just a small achievement, the difference is that everyone has a scale in their hearts, and this scale is still different.”

"What does it have to do with Shubao?" Li Shimin asked.

"There is a famous saying, forget it came from there. That sentence is that future generations should not be allowed to think that the throne can be obtained through planning."

This sentence was actually said by Li Shimin himself decades later.

At this time, this sentence is also the most suitable for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's throne is formed by the accumulation of conspiracies and tricks, and he really wants to clean himself up. Liu Mu's words gave him a good reminder. everything.And Li Jiancheng, who used conspiracy and tricks, died well.

Li Yuan didn't know that much, he was still kept in the dark.

From Li Yuan's ears, he thought it was very good.

"Erlang, I'll leave the edict to Xiaomu. Let's do it this way." Li Yuan made a decision: "The plaque in the Tai Chi Hall is not very tall, and it's not difficult for a skilled person to take a peek, so it's better to put it in a safe place. It can be locked heavily, and then a box of six locks. That’s it.”

Qin Qiong had a word in his heart.

On the matter of seizing the throne, Qin Qiong knew everything, but Liu Mu said such great words.amazing.

The matter of setting up the crown prince was settled like this. This is an important ceremony. Neither Li Yuan nor Li Shimin thought about revising this ceremony, because the crown prince represents the continuation of the dynasty.

Liu Mu really couldn't get rid of this trouble, so he could only say: "Then, I will leave Chang'an tonight."

"I will personally practice it for you." After explaining the troubles of Prince Li, Li Yuan was very happy.His sons have all died of adulthood because of the throne.He didn't want a lot of his grandsons to die because of the throne.

That night, Liu Mu got into the carriage and headed north, passing through Sanyuan without stopping, but only mobilized hundreds of people to follow him to the north.

A few days later, it was an auspicious day, and the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne.

Many courtiers were surprised that Liu Mu was not here, because Liu Mu was qualified to participate in this grand ceremony, and there was still a good position for him.

But failing to show up for no reason is a felony.

Until the time of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and establishing the crown prince, Li Shimin swept over his sons.Li Chengqian's eyes were excited, Li Tai's eyes were jealous, Li Ke's eyes were calm, and Li You's eyes were a little uncertain.

"The position of the crown prince is related to the destiny of the country. I have sacrificed to heaven and earth and wrote down the imperial edict to establish the crown prince. This imperial edict is kept in a very safe place. I will publish the edict a hundred years later. Before that, the imperial edict will not remain unchanged. To choose the crown prince, one must establish a virtuous man. Long and morality do not establish heirs."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, the heavenly official held out five keys.

"The edict's secret box has been kept secret. There are six keys in total. Only six keys can be opened together in the secret box."

Li Shimin's voice fell, and the civil and military hearts of the Manchu Dynasty were like a frenzy. This kind of establishment of a prince was unprecedented, and the new emperor Li Shimin had already stated clearly that there were six keys.But there were only five of them.

"The first key is kept by the Supreme Emperor's clan. The second key is kept by the Duke Huguo. The third key is kept by Shangshu Zuopushe. The fourth key is kept by General Shence. The fifth key is kept by Zhen Take care of it yourself. The sixth key..." Li Shimin stopped.

At the scene of the sacrificial ceremony, everyone held their breath, waiting for the last key to be there.

After Li Shimin glanced at everyone, he continued: "The sixth key and the secret box of edicts are at Liu Mu's place."

The audience was shocked.

This surprise has three surprises.

The first surprise was that the prince was not announced, so it could be any one of the oldest three.The courtiers speculated a lot.

This second surprise, Datang only had one protector of the country in his eyes, and that was Qin Qiong.And Qin Qiongtong is still the general of Shence.So Qin Qiong shouldn't be keeping the two keys, but a new General Shence, but who is this person?
The third surprise, the first five keys, can be said to be kept by the same post.

When the Supreme Emperor passed away, the key was handed over to the clan, and it should be Li Shentong.

If Qin Qiong dies, he will be taken care of by the next Duke Protector.

Xiao Yu's age is doomed that his key will be kept by another person for at most three years.And the most unexpected thing is that the sixth key turned out to designate a person.

willow.Princess Changping's son-in-law, Liu Mu.

At this time, Xiao Yu stepped forward on behalf of the courtiers: "Saint, the Supreme Emperor. I want to ask, where is Concubine Liu at this time?"

"This question is deferred." Li Shimin did not answer directly, but gave Xiao Yu an answer: "After two days, the three provinces will discuss the matter, and I will naturally mention Xiao Gong's question."

Xiao Yu couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only order the ceremony to continue, and there was still a long process ahead.

Li Shimin also named ancestors, such as Li Er, the ancestor of the Li family, that is, Lao Tzu and so on.

It was already afternoon when the sacrifice was over, Li Shimin's first edict issued by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was to transfer Yu Chigong back to Chang'an to take over the position of General Shence Guard.Qin Qiong is the protector of the country, but he didn't say what kind of army Qin Qiong leads. Could it be that he is just an empty job responsible for keeping the key.

No one among the courtiers believed that Qin Qiong would have no position and no power. You must know that Qin Qiong was the most trusted person of the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that the new emperor Li Shimin didn't have a half-sentence explanation of Qin Qiong's position.

Li Shimin doesn't want the world to know about the secret power of Yinwei for the time being.

The second imperial decree issued by the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was for Ashnadur, an imperial decree allowing the transfer of troops, and then a private letter with only one sentence in it, Liu Mu went to Zhongshou Jiangcheng.

In the third imperial decree, Li Shimin demanded that all the clans, those who had not made any meritorious service, be demoted to nobility, and the worst demotion was from the county king to the county son, which can be said to be almost a drop to the bottom.

In the fourth imperial decree, Li Shimin announced amnesty for the world.

In particular, the henchmen of the former hidden prince Li Jiancheng were all pardoned, and no faults were pursued, and they could be re-elected officials in the Ministry of Officials.
