The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 871
"What's the best strategy for the son-in-law?" The three of them coincidentally fixed their eyes on Chai Shao. The three of them also knew that the son-in-law of Princess Pingyang was extraordinary. He also has a beautiful mind and a good plan.

Chai Shaodao: "Tomorrow is the day of the court. Eldest brother is both the prince and elder brother. In front of His Majesty and all civil and military officials, you can play a book about Li Shimin, saying that he behaved badly, haunted brothels, secretly backed brothels, and swayed people's hearts." Let Cheng Yaojin and Luo Song testify, this move will not only reveal the true colors of Cheng and Luo, but also make Li Shimin feel uneasy."

"Gao, you are indeed a son-in-law!" Li Yuanji and Liu Wenjing were overjoyed and praised.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while, and frowned slightly, "The son-in-law's plan is clever, but is it appropriate to report this kind of thing to the emperor in front of civil and military officials? Or is it safer for me to report him to the emperor in private? .”

Liu Wenjing shook her head and said, "His Royal Highness, the beauty of the son-in-law's plan is that it is in the court hall. Although this is not respectable for your royal family, His Majesty may not be happy, but if the crown prince has a complaint and the King of Qin has another complaint, Li Shimin will definitely deny it." Deny, His Majesty will definitely not listen to your one-sided opinion on such a big matter. Besides, all civil and military officials know about it, so His Majesty doesn't need to avoid anything anymore. In front of all civil and military officials, His Majesty must ask Cheng Yaojin and Luo Song about the truth In this way, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Song had to express their opinions in public, from which we can see whether they are enemies or us. If the crown prince goes to the harem and secretly mentions this matter to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely deal with it in consideration of the face of the royal family It's very low-key, Cheng Yaojin and Luo Song don't have to express their views in public, and of course they can't try to show their positions. This is called what you gain must lose."

"Your Excellency's words are reasonable, so let's follow the plan of the son-in-law." Li Jiancheng nodded and made a decision.

The next day is the fifteenth day of this month, which is the day of the Great Dynasty.The dynasty system of the Tang Dynasty can be roughly divided into three categories, the Japanese dynasty, the small dynasty and the big dynasty. The Japanese dynasty is to go to court every day. Of course, this does not require civil and military officials, but a few important government and military officials. (Grade officials) go to the court every day to discuss matters. The emperor does not come every day, sometimes the emperor arrives, and sometimes the prince arrives. There is no special request. Officials who have no important matters can not come to the court.

The Xiaochao is more strict, and the auspicious days of the third, sixth, and ninth are the days of the Xiaochao. Its strictness and solemnity are between the Japanese Dynasty and the Great Dynasty.Under normal circumstances, all civil and military officials are present in Xiaochao, and there are no special circumstances. The emperor also comes to the court to deal with some matters.

The most solemn event is the Great Dynasty, which is also known as the Early Dynasty on the first and fifteenth days of each month.What's interesting is that morning morning is really early, it's a kind of morning that you can't imagine!

According to historical records, in the early dynasty, ministers had to get up at midnight and cross half of the capital to the Meridian Gate.At 3 o'clock in the morning, the minister arrived outside the Meridian Gate and waited.When the drum on the Meridian Gate tower beats, the ministers have to line up.When the bell rang around 5 o'clock in the morning, the gate of the palace opened.Hundreds of officials entered one by one, and then formed a team in the square.Any official who coughs, spits, or walks unsteadily will be recorded by the censor in charge of picketing, waiting to be dealt with.

Usually, when the emperor arrives, all the officials kneel down and kowtow three times.Only officials of the fourth grade or above have the opportunity to have a dialogue with the emperor. Ministers report government affairs to the emperor, and the emperor asks questions or gives answers.

From this point of view, it is not easy to be an official in ancient times. Among other things, this early dynasty is a kind of tragedy, and officials in poor health probably cannot bear it.At that time, unlike now, the conditions were so favorable. The journey of tens of miles or even tens of miles was at most riding a horse or taking a sedan chair. There were no luxury cars, let alone air-conditioning. It's just a few hours, I still wait after entering, until the emperor appears and sits on the dragon chair after bowing down, and then it's officially started.

During this period, no matter civil or military, old or young, all the officials had to stand in order, and then the ministers had something to report, and the emperor replied on the spot, and there was no point. They can only leave after the emperor leaves.Among them, if the ministers make a wrong move or a sentence, they will be charged with deceiving the emperor and beheaded. If anyone in the middle has diarrhea or urinates in the toilet, it is probably a problem. It is estimated that no one would dare to sneak out in advance on such an occasion.No matter winter or summer, it is the same all year round, the kind of hard work can be imagined.

Gossip less, after all the red tape, Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, and after the civil and military officials paid homage, they stood in neat rows below, probably Wendongwuxi, leaving a wide aisle in the middle .

Li Yuan is now healed of his injuries and illnesses, but after the imperial conquest, he suddenly looks ten years old and has lost a lot of weight. He used to run the most frequently to the Second Concubine Palace, but now he is only three months old. I won't go once, even if I go occasionally, I will sleep obediently, not daring to toss with the second concubine like in the past.As for the bedrooms of other concubines, Li Yuan simply didn't go there, which shows that Li Yuan's era has basically passed.

The current Li Yuan only comes to the court during the big dynasty, and there is nothing special about it. In the Japanese dynasty and the small dynasty, Prince Li Jiancheng usually visits the court, handles the government affairs on his behalf, and then reports to him those valuable things.

The eunuch on duty saw that all the civil and military officials had arrived, and looked at Li Yuan. Li Yuan nodded slightly to him, and the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice, "If you have a book, you can play it early, if you don't have a book, you can roll back the court!"

These civil and military officials are really miserable. They got up so early and waited for several hours in the cold wind. They just waited for this sentence, which means to report and ask for instructions if there is something to do. Find each mother.

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, Prince Li Jiancheng, standing at the front of the line, glanced at Li Shimin in the line, then at Luo Song and Cheng Yaojin behind him, and then took two steps forward and bowed to Li Yuan. Shi Li said: "Father, my son and minister have a book to play."

Li Yuan was taken aback, he didn't expect his eldest son to be the first one to release the playbook, he didn't talk to himself privately about anything, and brought it to the court, in front of civil and military officials, it seems that this is not only a big event but also a business matter.

It's not just Li Yuan who has this idea, all civil and military officials, including King Qin Li Shimin, also think the same way.

Li Yuan thought about it, and said to Li Jiancheng in a slow voice: "What's the matter with the prince, play it quickly."

"Father please forgive me." Li Jiancheng said in a calm manner, "A few days ago, the largest brothel in Beijing, Yuchunlou, was replaced with a bustard and re-listed as Four Sisters Yuchunlou. On the opening day, someone saw King Qin present. King Qin not only dressed up in disguise, but also ordered his bodyguards to take action for the four sisters, Yuchunlou, and beat Wang Cheng, the official of Bingzhou's government office. Father, how should we deal with this matter?"

As soon as these words were uttered, the audience was shocked. No one expected that Li Jiancheng could sue Li Shimin in front of so many people. No matter whether the two brothers are usually at odds, they are on the surface. Li Jiancheng is the prince and presides over the government. And Li Jianmin mainly leads troops to fight, one masters the inside and one masters the outside, this is Li Yuan's pride, why does the eldest brother openly point a gun at the second younger brother today?Therefore, the eyes of civil and military officials all stared at Qin Wang Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was also taken aback. After so many days, he thought it was all right, but no matter what, he never expected that Prince Li Jiancheng would sue him so straightforwardly, and it was still in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Catastrophe is imminent!
