Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 579

Early in the morning, Fang Xuanling went to Li Shimin's camp alone. In addition to reporting the agreements reached with the foreign countries one by one in the past few days, the main thing was to persuade Li Shimin about Sun Xiangfu. After all, he was going to He was escorted back to Dingxiang City, how to deal with it, we must first make a regulation.

"Your Majesty, Sun Zhengming's rebellion must be severely punished, but the degree must be within the acceptable range of the common people."

"What's your opinion, Fang Qing?"

When everyone asked Li Shimin to pardon Sun Xiangfu, he finally heard a different voice, and it came from a high-ranking prime minister. This made Li Shimin somewhat relieved, and he asked back.

"Your Majesty, if it is said that the people of Shanyang and Dingxiang love Dai Zhengming and plead for him spontaneously, this minister will reluctantly believe it.

After all, they are able to live such a good life now, Zhengming is indispensable, but if it is said that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty love Zhengming, I don't believe it.

He is naturally not on the same side as a powerful family. A few days ago, Zhengming was still in Shannan Road, and he dealt heavy blows to several major local tyrants, causing them to lose more than half of their family property. Would they be so kind as to speak for Zhengming?
The minister thought that the real purpose of their active letter to ask His Majesty to pardon Zhengming, perhaps, was to create a pretense of coercing the palace, to make His Majesty hate Zhengming even more, and thus cut off his own arm. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly realized that for the past two days, he had been immersed in the anger of Sun Xiangfu's resistance to the edict, but he hadn't thought about it. After nodding, he asked again, "Since these people have ulterior motives , intentionally created momentum to make me hate Zhengming, so why didn't I take advantage of the situation and pardon him, so as to gain the hearts of the people in the world?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how important the reason is, it is clear that he has resisted the decree. Severely punishing him is to show the people all over the world that the imperial power is inviolable."

Li Shimin nodded again, which is considered to have approved what Fang Xuanling said. Although he has become a bit more tempered after swelling, he has not become stupid. After a moment of silence, he said again, "Fang Qing thinks, what is the specific situation?" Is it appropriate to deal with him?"

"Dismiss from office, get rid of the noble, and nationalize all the big industries related to the country's development under his name."

Hearing this, even Li Shimin, who felt that Fang Xuanling was trying to persuade him in a fancy way, was a little dazed. With Sun Xiangfu's current rank and title, it is already very serious to dismiss him directly from office and get rid of the title.The confiscation of property is almost equivalent to ransacking the house, which is basically the heaviest punishment for the first-class nobles of the state besides the crime of rebellion.

"This, isn't it a bit too heavy, I still need to rely on him for many important matters for the time being!"

"Your Majesty, it's not serious at all. I estimate that he would not accept a result that is less severe than this punishment."

Hearing this, Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Why? Could it be that Zhengming still hopes that I will punish him severely?"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Yes, Zhengming is a smart man, and he has no power ambitions, so he will not force his friends to make choices, then he can only wrong himself."

Fang Xuanling's words made Li Shimin silent for a long time. It seems that Fang Xuanling's level of understanding of the problem is also on the same level as him. In the end, he nodded and said, "Then, I will see if he wants to wrong me. .”

On the way back, Dugumou deliberately walked very slowly. He wanted to give more time to the ministers to persuade Li Shimin. Therefore, it was not until the afternoon that Sun Xiangfu and his guards were escorted back to the barracks by Dugumou. , Li Shimin suffered another round of fancy persuasion from almost all the ministers who had the right to directly appeal, and he was exhausted mentally and physically.

Of course, this is not what annoys him, because outside the gate of the barracks, a total of 10,000+ people have gathered here in the morning, holding banners and shouting slogans, making the entire barracks restless, even the sports meeting All kinds of fierce competitions may not be as fierce as here, and the purpose of them gathering here to shout slogans is naturally to plead for Sun Xiangfu, let Li Shimin give him justice, and pardon him for his crime of resisting the order.

This kind of scene made Li Shimin feel very aggrieved. Why did he act like a guy who committed a major crime against the government, but it seemed reasonable.

Any emperor would be driven mad by this situation, and he, after all, is Li Shimin, so a pair of shackles exactly the same as back then were put on Sun Xiangfu's neck. He was interrogated and convicted as soon as he came back. Instead, he was arranged in an independent tent in the barracks just like Wang Hao was imprisoned, and he will be locked up for a while.

Obviously, Li Shimin wanted to spread the aggrievedness he felt from the courtiers and common people on Sun Xiangfu.

"I am entering the palace for the second time. Don't worry, everyone. I am already familiar with the way. It is nothing to suffer. Since His Majesty shackles me, it proves that I will not be executed. Everyone, go back quickly! Don't miss it." exciting competition."

Sun Xiangfu made some self-deprecating remarks outside the gate of the military camp, then saluted all the people gathered here, and then turned around to follow Dugu Mou into the camp. He didn't know that these people were deliberately mobilized by Wang Xu. He may not be so sincere in creating momentum.

You must know that the imperial court did not announce the news of Sun Xiangfu's resistance to the outside world. If it spread naturally, it would be impossible to reach such a wide range when the focus of the whole people's attention is on the sports meeting.

The common people in this era actually don't understand the meaning of "Second Entry into the Palace" at all, but there are always some smart people who can understand the meaning of this sentence, and finally spread it to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin learned that Sun Xiangfu compared the palace to a cage, he suddenly felt his lungs were about to explode.

But he didn't know that Sun Xiangfu was deliberately angry with him, because the people's reaction to his matter was so great, so the reaction from the court would only be greater, if all his former allies jumped out Help yourself and stand on the opposite side of Li Shimin, that is the worst situation. The prosperity and development of Datang cannot be separated from them.

What's interesting is that Sun Xiangfu was not banned from visiting, because Li Shimin knew that those who advised him would definitely go to Sun Xiangfu's side and blame him for being ignorant and causing such a big trouble. I also wanted to see how Sun Xiangfu was scolded by everyone in turn. In the afternoon, he simply went to the arena to watch the more intense polo match.

So, throughout the afternoon, Sun Xiangfu was very sad. Starting from Yu Shinan Qin Qiong and other elders, to elder Sun Chong, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and other peers, they came one by one. have.

For example, Yu Shinan, his expectation for Sun Xiangfu is to become the pillar of the country, and what he said is naturally the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

And those of the younger generation like Changsun Chong and Yuchi Baolin feel that this is the case!In fact, Sun Xiangfu shouldn't do it himself, as long as he lets the guards go, he can completely clear himself up. Sun Xiangfu did a stupid thing and should review it.

However, Sun Xiangfu didn't think so. It's better to pick the bubble between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu later than later. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity.

As for Cheng Chumo, a guy with a brain and a brain, he was worried that Wang Hao would die and Zhang Cheng would commit suicide, so he rushed over to complain and went straight to the labor camp. If Sun Xiangfu hadn't been wearing chains, he would have been restricted If you take action, you will definitely catch up and kick this guy twice.

After all, it’s better for my wife, that night, Yu Xiu’er not only brought a rich meal, but also prepared a set of bed boards and bedding with holes dug out, so that Sun Xiangfu could rest well while wearing shackles, but, Yu Xiu’er Still unwilling to open his mouth to talk to him, which made him a little depressed.

"Uh, Xiu'er, Xiu'er, I have a brochure from Wang Hao in my arms, take it out for me."

Yu Xiu'er obeyed, took out the brochure from Sun Xiangfu's arms, and put it on the table, but she still didn't speak, and waited angrily for him to finish his meal so that he could clear away the dishes.

"Xiu'er! Do you know? Our good days are coming. From now on, you don't have to be so busy, and I don't have to be so busy. Let's plant the land, go fishing, and have babies..."

"Are you still eating? No, I'll collect my things and leave."

"Uh, eat, eat, what you sent, of course I will eat it, I'll eat it all, you feed me."

Yu Xiu'er rolled his eyes at him, picked up a big chicken leg from the plate and stretched it towards Sun Xiangfu's mouth, "I'm going to kill you."

"Hey, being fed to death by the food you fed must be the happiest way to die in the world." Sun Xiangfu's mouth was stuffed with chicken, and he was still trying to speak, which was very funny.

Yu Xiu'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "Spoof."

Yu Xiu'er was not moved by Sun Xiangfu's poor talk, but she was moved by Sun Xiangfu's joy from the bottom of his heart. After Wang Hao died, he relaxed.

"Have Deshou and Xiaomei returned to Shanyang? Have they been implicated?"

"You're thinking of them now, why don't you think about them when you are self-willed and resisting orders?"

"Resisting the decree is not necessarily willful, here is the problem! I can't explain it clearly to you. There are some reasons you need to understand. We can't be a person who can affect His Majesty's imperial power. Datang in today's situation has become miserable.

I can't become the next power of five surnames and seven families, otherwise, I will never be able to straighten my waist in front of the people of the world, because if the aristocratic family is not eliminated, the people of the world will not have a peaceful day.I don't want everything I did before to be seen by future generations as a struggle for power and profit, and to build my own family.

Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to throw out these industries and set a good example for the world..."

"Husband really has a noble character like a saint. It's my concubine's clothes."

Seeing Yu Xiuer's ashamed expression, Sun Xiangfu secretly said, "There is a door". It seems that only by starting from this aspect can Yu Xiuer no longer be entangled in the mistakes she made. For no reason, he was somewhat grateful to Li Chunfeng for giving The unreliable life I approved by myself, it still has some effect at critical moments!
"It's just that Xiu'er will be so tired that she will suffer for her husband. I don't know how His Majesty will punish her in the end."

"I heard from Grandpa and Fang Xiang that at the very least, he will be dismissed from office, expelled from his title, and most of his property will be confiscated."

"Really? This saves me from looking for a reason to donate. By the way, Hongmei and Chuntao are still pregnant. You have to comfort them. As long as my husband and I are alive, there is nothing else to worry about."

"I know it myself."

The husband and wife comforted each other. After eating a love prison meal, Sun Xiangfu finally had time to look at the booklet Wang Hao left behind. However, he did not intend to let Yu Xiuer know the contents, because the Things are likely to be more shocking.So, after she finished packing, Sun Xiangfu urged her to go home to take care of the children, and to appease the manager who was fluctuating in all aspects of his subordinates because of this incident. After Yu Xiu'er left, he read the booklet with peace of mind.
