Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 162 Change Your Mind

On this day, the streets of Chang'an were empty with thousands of people, and the people gathered at Jinshuimen.

Not for anything else, just because the hero of the story, Sun Xiangfu, will enter the city today.

The so-called story was, of course, the one made up by Chang Sun Chong and the others.

Above the court, officials from the seven clans and five surnames were counting dozens of crimes against Sun Zhengming who had to be beheaded. Li Shimin, who heard this, admired the language organization ability of these officials.

"Urgent report, outside the Jinshui Gate, the people of Chang'an City gathered, with hundreds of thousands of people."

The general standing in the hall ignored the ministers who were discussing fiercely, and directly rushed into the hall and knelt down to Li Shimin.

"what?"

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Jinshuimen, which one is singing?
All the officials were still in a daze when they heard the words, but Li Shimin asked with a worried expression.

"What is the so-called gathering of the people?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the people said that they are going to welcome the hero back on the pier?"

"Hero? What kind of hero?"

Above the court, many officials looked at the general. Of course, those with quick brains had already guessed some clues.

"Those common people said that it was Sun Zhengming, Sun Yingxiong who was brave and fearless, led 30 people, fought bloody battles against the Japanese country with over a thousand warriors, and finally rescued the people of our Tang Dynasty from the Japanese people."

"Pfft~"

The crown prince Li Chengqian was young and couldn't hide things in his heart. He almost laughed out loud, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the general who was doing the thing at the moment.

"Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with this matter, and we must make a decision after a clear investigation." Fang Xuanling didn't make a sound when he counted Sun Xiangfu's crimes against the officials of the seven surnames and five surnames, but now he jumped out. road.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the will of the people cannot be violated. Your Majesty should obey the will of the people and make a decision after careful investigation..."

"The minister seconded the proposal..."

"The minister seconded the proposal..."

At this time, it is time to demonstrate Sun Xiangfu's power in the court. Changsun Wuji, Fang, Du, Qin Qiong, and those who were originally on the side of Sun Xiangfu, this time, the Guanlong family, Luoyang Yes, even many officials from the Yangzhou Department came out to intercede for Sun Xiangfu. Although there were still not many officials shouting to kill him, they still accounted for [-] to [-]% of the court.

"Something is wrong!"

Cui Shixun, who was already in good health, looked at the situation in the court hall and thought to himself.

"Now, all the left and right guards are dispatched to maintain order in the streets, and Sun Zhengming is transferred from the death row to Dali Temple. After the case is found out and the crime is judged, we will deal with it."

With an order from Li Shimin, Yousi started to get busy.

It's impossible to say that he didn't know the actions of Chang Sun Chong and the other little fellows. However, when he made up his mind last night to execute him for good fortune, Chang Sun Wuji came to the palace city to find him.

First of all, it was the question that Fang Xuanling said, even if Sun Xiangfu was to be executed, it shouldn't be now, we had to look at the attitude of the Japanese people first.

Secondly, Changsun Wuji actually confessed that this matter was related to him, because he also saw the harm to Tang Dynasty after the book "Qi Min Yao Shu" was passed on to the country of Japan, so he sent a message in advance to inform Sun Xiangfu , This is the thing on the dock.

What Changsun Wuji meant was that good people should do it for the emperor, and bad people should be done by us courtiers. He did this for the sake of the country and the emperor.

Then, help Li Shimin analyze that if Sun Xiangfu is killed, then the wishes of those aristocratic families will be fulfilled, not to mention that the series of industries run by Sun Xiangfu are in danger of collapse, and those aristocratic families will become more arrogant because of this, acting without scruples , In order to increase persuasiveness, Changsun Wuji showed Li Shimin three things.

After that, he frankly confessed to Li Shimin the play he instructed Sun Chong to perform. His intention was naturally to give Li Shimin a step down. After that, it would not be too late to deal with Sun Xiangfu depending on the reaction of the Wa Kingdom.

After a long talk, Li Shimin finally changed his mind, but he didn't make a clear statement with Changsun Wuji, but just told him that he might not be able to take the position of Minister of the Household Department.

To talk about why Changsun Wuji put so much effort into protecting Sun Xiangfu, apart from the fact that Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian asked him for help to intercede, there were also a few things that Li Chunfeng sent to Changsun Wuji overnight.

Salted fish bean paste, white sugar, lychee rock sugar.

These three things have become Sun Xiangfu's confidence at the critical moment. They can bring huge benefits to Datang, and Sun Xiangfu who has mastered these three things can help Changsun Wuji, or should I say help Changsun Li Shimin, supported by Wuji, fulfilled many political dreams.

Therefore, after he finished telling these things to Li Shimin, Li Shimin would hesitate.

Li Shimin didn't want to break the law for profit, but he didn't think it was worth losing so many benefits for the sake of a Japanese country.

If one eldest grandson Wuji is not enough, then add another Lingnan Feng family!

If Sun Xiangfu is killed, the land of Lingnan may fall into turmoil again. Feng Zhidai is not talking about it, nor is he threatening Li Shimin, because Sun Xiangfu cured his big belly disease in Lingnan and planted a plant with a yield of ten stones per mu. Rice, so that the people of Lingnan no longer have to endure the misery of illness and lack of food. He is the benefactor of the Lingnan people. Killing Sun Xiangfu will definitely make the people of Lingnan feel alienated from the court.

Li Shimin had to weigh these things. In the end, Li Shimin found that there was one more person in the world who he couldn't deal with at will, which made him very upset, so he decided to give Sun Xiangfu some trouble first, and the rest The account will be calculated separately.

After returning to the study, Li Shimin specially asked people to find bowls and chopsticks to taste the salted fish bean paste, which was praised by Changsun Wuji. After eating, he somewhat understood why Changsun Wuji spent so much effort to persuade himself. Xiangfu is really a treasure. This salted fish bean paste can solve the urgent need for salt in the Tang Dynasty. It is a great contribution to the country and the people.

Then, he ate another spoonful of white sugar, the taste of the salty-sweet battle was very refreshing, this was the sweetest time Li Shimin ate in his life, who told him to eat white sugar just after eating the salted fish.

After that, he put a piece of lychee candy the size of a nail shell into his mouth, and immediately, he realized what it means to have a mouth-watering taste, so he immediately picked up the remaining lychee candy and went to the harem. But for the empress and concubine Wei, there will be something good, just to use it to make amends for them.

Therefore, Li Shimin's worried look in the early dynasty was because he did not expect so many people mobilized by Chang Sun Chong, and was worried about a stampede. Now, the sergeants who maintained order were sent out according to the plan, and Li Shimin's heart was slightly relieved. .

"Now, a group of ministers returning to the capital, Feng Zhidai, the governor of Chunzhou, will enter the court to discuss matters."

After issuing the order to detain Sun Xiangfu in Dali Temple, Li Shimin said again.

Hearing this, the internal servants who announced the decree became busy.
