The Happy Prince of Tang Dynasty

Tang Jian, Dou Wei, Liu Hongji and other founding fathers, who stood at the head of the loyal ministers, all shook their heads, as if a little bit helpless, but also a little mocking.

The actions of those generals are justifiable, but the actions of civil servants are really not wise enough.

Today, Li Yuan is still strong and strong, still very strong.They showed favor to the prince right under Li Yuan's nose, how did Li Yuan feel about this?

If it had been a more brutal emperor, their heads would have already fallen to the ground by this time.

Moreover, no matter what Li Shimin said, he was His Royal Highness King Qin, Li Yuan's biological son, and Li Jiancheng's younger brother. It was their family's business to decide what to do in their family, and it was not their turn for ministers like them to intervene. [

To put it bluntly, there have been crown princes who have been replaced or lost in power struggles in all dynasties.

Not to mention Liu Shi, the son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty far away, or some people say that he was deposed because of treason; Yang Yong, the deposed prince recently, is a vivid example.

All sighed in their hearts, these civil servants may have killed themselves by reading.

They have foreseen that these people will be replaced slowly in the future, and it is a disaster to keep flatterers like them.

"Father, my son thinks it's impossible!"

In the hall, Li Shimin shouted to Li Yuan above with an anxious expression on his face.

The middle-aged man who was also kneeling next to Li Shimin saw this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and the sense of recognition in the depths of his eyes was even more profound.

Perhaps, he hadn't identified Li Shimin before, but at this moment Li Shimin was the lord he identified.

"King Qin, what do you have to say?"

Li Yuanjing sat at the head.Asked in a neutral manner, it seemed that this matter did not bring him much trouble.

At the same time, Li Yuan memorized the faces of those extremely cheerful civil and military ministers jumping around in his mind one by one. He naturally couldn't allow such ministers to stain his eyes.

With a sneer in his heart, how could these ministers be appointed by him if it wasn't for his own will?

Speaking of the origin of these ministers, it is also a matter of embarrassment.

then.Li Yuan revolted like the overlords of the major powers in the Central Plains, and it was too fast to be heard, and Li Jiancheng's men and horses hidden in Chang'an City supported him.Quickly went to Chang'an City more than others.

Because things happened so fast, none of the heroes in the world could react.Therefore, Chang'an, which is a battleground for military strategists, became the property of the Li family.

but.The defects caused by this are also obvious.

Except for some civil servants and military generals who followed the Li family uprising in Taiyuan, such as Tang Jian, Dou Wei, Liu Hongji, Pei Ji, Gao Shilian, Yin Kaishan and others, most of the officials came from the former Sui Dynasty in Chang'an City.

The capable and prestigious ones are like Chen Shuda, Qu Tutong, and Xiao Yu.Feng Lun, brothers Yang Gongren and others.

In addition, most of the officials attached to the former Sui Dynasty relied on their families or other relationships, and they were in power in Yang Guangshi, and they were all a group of corpses and vegetarians. [

Just like the few officials who jumped so happily in front of me.It is this kind of people.

He didn't have any idea at all, but seeing the current crown prince's strength, he had the idea of ​​attachment. With such political awareness, it is really ridiculous to want to stand on top of this fierce tiger-like court.

"Father, when General Su surrendered in the past, the sons and ministers said that at that time, all the masters, after surrendering to our Tang Dynasty, they would naturally be written off. If we slashed and killed him, what will the people of the world think of our Tang Dynasty?" , those heroes who want to rely on my Great Tang to help them, how do they feel after hearing about this?"

Li Shimin explained the reason logically, and Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, I think that if Su Dingfang is not killed, it will be difficult to appease the hearts of the generals."

It turned out that the middle-aged man kneeling next to Li Shimin was actually Su Dingfang, the former general under Dou Jiande.

Later, when Liu Heitai rebelled, he was appointed by Liu Heitai as the chief general of the expedition to Tang Dynasty, and fought with Li Tang's army.He repelled General Zuo Wuwei, Li Yuan's younger brother Li Shentong; after that, he defeated Luo Yi who had recently surrendered to Li Tang.

Therefore, Qin Wang Li Shimin had no choice but to lead his army to the expedition.

As soon as Li Shimin's army came out, they were invincible, and Liu Heita's army was retreating steadily.In the end, Liu Heitai was defeated and died, while Su Dingfang was persuaded to surrender by Li Shimin.

After returning to Chang'an, Su Dingfang had some conflicts because of the previous battle between Liu Heitai and Li Tang.

Seeing that Li Yuan seemed to be interrupted by Li Shimin's reason, the general surnamed Wang jumped out again and shouted loudly, from his appearance, it seemed that he had to kill Su Dingfang.

So, what is the reason why this general surnamed Wang wants to kill Su Dingfang in the face of King Qin?

In fact, it is not a big deal, and it is still the fault of General Wang.

The reason is because the brother of the general surnamed Wang died at the hands of Liu Heita's army during this battle, and Liu Heita's chief general was also Su Dingfang.

"General Wang, what do you have to say?"

Li Yuan glanced at the general surnamed Wang, and asked a question in a nonchalant manner, but there was an impatient look in his eyes.The reason why there are so many things happening today is because of this guy in front of him.

The general surnamed Wang also saw Li Yuan's impatience, so he gritted his teeth and said bravely: "Although His Royal Highness King Qin once made a promise to Su Dingfang, if it is because of His Royal Highness Qin's words, it will cancel out the fact that Su Dingfang killed me. The crime of a famous general, wouldn’t it make many generals of my Tang Dynasty feel cold? In the future, who will dare to risk their lives?”

"King Qin, is there such a thing?"

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin and asked indifferently, but as the supreme leader of the Tang Dynasty, the majesty of this matter is within reach.

Li Shimin did not have Li Jiancheng's easy-going temperament, so he still had a little fear of Li Yuan in his heart.Therefore, seeing Li Yuan's majestic eyes suddenly made him a little unbearable.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin with his head down, as if he had nothing to say, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

If Cheng'er is here, there is definitely a way to satisfy him.I don't know why Cheng'er has such thoughts, maybe as Cheng'er said, he longs for that kind of dull and worrying life! [

"Father..."

Just as Li Yuan was thinking, a voice that seemed to be full of enthusiasm suddenly came from his ear.Looking up, it was Li Shimin's eyes full of vigor, looking over with piercing eyes.

now.Li Shimin seems to no longer be afraid, and has limited confidence.

Seeing this, Li Yuan was not only not dissatisfied.On the contrary, he was quite satisfied in his heart, after all, he was Li Yuan's son, with the same blood as Li Jiancheng flowing in his body.Destined not to let him down.

"Although General Su killed those generals, it is justifiable..."

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin was about to tell the reason, but he was interrupted by a shout from beside him.A cold light flashed in his eyes. It was the first time that Li Shimin, who was usually gentle and elegant, showed such a strong murderous intent.

The murderous intent emanating from Li Shimin's body was so strong that many ministers in the hall could clearly feel it.The general surnamed Wang who was kneeling next to Li Shimin felt it the most. After all, Li Shimin's killing intent was forced on him.

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction again, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

At the same time, some ministers in the hall, who seemed to be pretending to be indifferent with their eyes closed, squinted secretly.Check out Li Yuan's reaction.

As a courtier, it is necessary to figure out the mind of the superior.However, it can't be too much.

For example, Qianlong in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ji Xiaolan and He Shen are an obvious example.

At that time, Ji Xiaolan was very talented.Wisdom and wisdom, as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, is equivalent to the position of prime minister in all dynasties. Another famous corrupt official, He Shen, is also one of the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The two are colleagues as well as rivals.

He Shen is greedy for money, and everyone in the world knows it.As the emperor Qianlong, that is, Hongli, it is impossible not to know.However, he didn't touch He Shen because of Ji Xiaolan.

Ji Xiaolan's reputation is too high, and her reputation among the common people is also in a mess.Therefore, Qianlong didn't touch Heshen just now, in order to stay and form a constraint on Ji Xiaolan.

He Shen is not a mediocre person to be able to reach the level of Wenyuange University Bachelor.

He is greedy for money, but he has brains.He also understood Qianlong's intention to keep him, so he fulfilled Qianlong's expectations with all his heart and did not make Ji Xiaolan feel better.

Ji Xiaolan also understands this, but if he wants to rebel, then what can he do.If he had no other thoughts, then the existence of He Shen would not have much to do with him.

As soon as Ji Xiaolan was waiting, He Shen's house was ransacked after Jiaqing. He had no use value, so naturally he would not keep it.

Similarly, when the ministers saw the look in Li Yuan's eyes, some years subconsciously jumped out of their minds, that was Li Yuan's eyes seemed to be looking at the heir.

This thought made them secretly startled, and they suppressed their expressions, otherwise the surprise would show.

When Li Yuan entered Chang'an City, the more active ones at that time were King Qin Li Shimin, King Qi Li Yuanji, King Zhao Li Yuanba, and Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning.

If Li Yuan hadn't confirmed that Li Jiancheng was in possession, perhaps many ministers would not even know who Li Jiancheng was.

It wasn't until Li Jiancheng returned from visiting the Central Plains and was canonized as the prince by Li Yuan before Li Tang's founding ceremony that many ministers realized his existence.

However, many people are actually not optimistic about Li Jiancheng, because Li Jiancheng does not seem to have made any contribution to the establishment of Li Tang.The reason why he was able to become the prince was because he occupied the position of the eldest son.

Of course, they have this idea because they don't know the role played by Li Jiancheng.

After all, not many people know about what Li Jiancheng has done.

Li Yuan's humerus ministers like Tang Jian, Pei Ji, Liu Hongji, Dou Wei, etc., only know some inside information that others don't.For example, the founder of Westward Journey Restaurant was Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng was no more than ten years old when Lenovo Westward Journey Restaurant appeared.

Now, the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. This His Highness the Crown Prince is really too monstrous.Therefore, I dare not have any unruly thoughts in my heart.

At that time, I'm afraid I don't even know how to die.

Subsequently, Li Jiancheng put forward a series of reform policies and measures, the means and ability to act, and let many ministers know that this prince should not be underestimated.

In particular, Kong Yingda's success was solved by Li Jiancheng cleanly.It also let many ministers know Li Jiancheng's strength.

Then, Li Mi united many forces to invade Datang, and Li Jiancheng showed his military talent even more.Now, those ministers have been completely convinced.

It is inevitable for Li Jiancheng, who has political and military capabilities, to enjoy the position of prince.

Therefore, after seeing Li Yuan's expression.And the humerus ministers who understood Li Jiancheng's actual ability felt abnormal doubts in their hearts.

But in an instant they had an idea.That is, no matter what the future holds, their descendants are determined not to participate in the affairs of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

Because, there is a strange mystery in it.

The voice of the general surnamed Wang.Not only did it arouse Li Shimin's murderous intent, but it also aroused Li Yuan's dissatisfaction.

No matter how you say it, Li Shimin is still his own son, and he is also His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. You, a fifth-rank chariot general, dare to interrupt his speech like this. This is simply despising him, Li Yuan.

"General Cheqi, what else do you have to say?"

Li Yuan looked at General Wang with a cold gaze, and his extreme dissatisfaction had been completely revealed on his face.

Many ministers shook their heads with a sigh in their hearts. The career of this general surnamed Wang has come to an end.As for what path he will take next, no one cares.

General Wang stared blankly, as if he already understood his fate.

but.Now that he has come to this point, he will not stop.Even if he is dismissed from office, he still has his family behind him to support him, so what is he afraid of?

With the support of the family, this is why the general surnamed Wang was able to have a dispute with the King of Qin so stubbornly.

"His Majesty…"

General surnamed Wang knelt in the center of the hall.He clasped his fists together, gritted his teeth, and decided to continue to give reasons for killing Su Dingfang.No, a seemingly casual and lazy voice sounded in the hall.

"Hey, why is it so lively today, it seems that I came in time!"

All the ministers didn't have to turn their heads to look.Also know who is coming.

Apart from Prince Li Jiancheng, there is really no one else who can be so scrupled, speak so arrogantly, and dare to do so in front of the emperor.

They also thought that when Li Jiancheng came out, there must be a good show to watch.

It's just that I don't know whether it is Su Dingfang or the general surnamed Wang who is finished.

To be honest, they really don't have a clue about Li Jiancheng's behavior style.Therefore, I can't tell who is unlucky.However, they knew that the only thing they could do now was to sit back and watch the show.

However, they are afraid to speak, but not everyone else is afraid to speak.

"His Royal Highness, please pay attention to your words and remember etiquette."

An indifferent words resounded in the hall, and suddenly the whole hall fell into an abnormal silence.At this time, don't say that throwing a needle can hear the sound, maybe throwing a hair can also hear the sound.

All the ministers turned around at the same time, and most of them looked at the speaker with pity.

At the end of the queue of civil servants, a man in his 30s with fair complexion, a calm expression on his face, and firm eyes showed his intention in saying this sentence.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that this person was Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng was not known to many people before, only that he was from Wagang, and later he joined Li Tang, so he appeared in the court.As for why he can appear in the court, not many people know, and they don't want to know.

But after one incident happened, Wei Zheng's name remained in the hearts of all the ministers.

It turned out that not long after Wei Zheng appeared, Wei Zheng had a conflict with a young minister of Taichang Temple.Of course, Wei Zheng wasn't wrong, the mistake was because the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple had wrong etiquette, and Wei Zheng, a straight-hearted person, jumped out to criticize him at that time.

Then the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple thought about it, he is a fourth-rank official, Wei Zheng is just a seventh-rank civil servant in the Ministry of Rites, and he dares to take care of his own affairs, so now he wants to have a good fight.

However, his companion, who was also an official in the Ministry of Rites, knew who had promoted Wei Zheng at that time, so he told the situation to the young minister of Taichang Temple in detail, and the young minister of Taichang Temple immediately said Withered.

Now, with a smile on his face, he immediately said that he would correct the mistake.

It turned out that the officials of the Ministry of Rites informed the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple that Wei Zheng was brought to the Ministry of Rites by Prince Li Jiancheng himself, so it is not easy to provoke him!

Afterwards, everyone remembered that Wei Zheng was brought to the Ministry of Rites by Prince Li Jiancheng himself.

At this time, seeing Li Jiancheng's own people jumping out to tear him down, many ministers felt the idea of ​​watching a good show.

After all, there is a dark thought lurking in everyone's heart.

"Master Wei's words are very true, we must pay attention to it next time when it is completed."

However, the scene of Li Jiancheng's fury expected by the ministers did not appear. Instead, Li Jiancheng compromised with Wei Zheng very gently.

This scene made all the ministers dumbfounded. After all, they had seen Li Jiancheng's strength before.

According to their thinking, Li Jiancheng retorted Wei Zheng's words angrily, and then Wei Zheng continued to persuade him with a stiff neck. After working together for so long, everyone knew Wei Zheng's temperament, and everyone also understood what he would do.Unlike Li Jiancheng, his actions are wild and unconstrained, and there is no way to capture them.

At the end of the matter, it should be Li Jiancheng who angrily reprimanded Wei Zheng, who dismissed him angrily and left.

Originally, the situation should have been staged like this, but this time it seems to be completely messed up. If all the ministers knew about filming, they would definitely shout in unison: "Director, the lines are wrong!"

However, the facts were in front of them, but they had to be convinced.

Li Jiancheng listened to his opinion, Wei Zheng just nodded his head lightly, and then retreated to his position, as if he had only done an insignificant thing.

However, in the eyes of many ministers, Wei Zheng looked like a master.

Being able to get away with accusing the powerful prince Li Jiancheng, it seems that so far it is only Mr. Wei Zhengwei's family, let alone the semicolon.

As a result, some legends about Wei Zheng began to spread among the ministers like locusts crossing the border. (To be continued..)
