Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 506

Zhengshitang. This is where the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty works. Fang Xuanling is taking a break in the Zhengwutang at this time.

Li Shimin played a trick. He distributed the power that was originally concentrated in one person to several people.

In this way, the power of the prime minister was dispersed, making it easier for the emperor to control the government.Later, Li Shimin felt that the permanent officials still could not achieve the purpose of weakening the prime minister.

Therefore, arranging temporary workers became another way for the emperor.This kind of temporary workers are generally officials with very low positions, but when they are working as prime ministers, the emperor will give them a title called "Tong Zhong Shu Men Xia Ping Zhang Shi" or "Shen Zhi Zheng Shi".

I really want to have a very awkward name. In our current vernacular, it means working with officials from Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.Of course, if the work assigned to you is finished, then you will lose the opportunity to continue working with the prime ministers.

In this way, it not only ensures that someone is available, but also avoids the situation where officials have too much power and are difficult to control.

So many people always need a place where they can work, so the Zhengshitang appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

Yesterday, the day before yesterday, Fang Xuanling stayed in this political affairs hall all the time, and did not return home once. At this time, Fang Xuanling was really sleepy, and he just closed his eyes for a while, but just as Fang Xuanling fell asleep past time.

Li Junxian hurried in and saw Fang Xuanling who was still sleeping soundly. Li Junxian asked the servant beside him to know when Fang Xuanling fell asleep. Just slept for a quarter of an hour or so.

At this time, Li Junxian frowned slightly, thinking whether to let Fang Xuanling sleep for a while, but at this moment, Fang Xuanling opened his eyes, and seeing Li Junxian coming, Fang Xuanling Xuanling immediately asked: "Really?"

Li Junxian sighed: "It's really the opposite!"

"Is Your Majesty all right?"

"Li Jing and Li Ji are all fine with His Majesty, and the Hou Junji has been captured, and all 1 people in the Eastern Palace have surrendered!"

"The prince is also among them?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Junxian worriedly.

With a sigh, Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty's decree, the crown prince is imprisoned in the East Palace!"

Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly: "Why did the prince do this?"

"Not only the prince, but Yin Hongzhi is also involved. Your Majesty signaled you and me to investigate whether King Qi is involved."

"Ask the prince?" Fang Xuanling shook his head: "What if the prince bites you?"

"Then you can only blame His Royal Highness King Qi for being unlucky. Uncle is involved, and he can't tell. If the crown prince bites again, His Majesty will definitely kill King Qi."

"What's this called?" Fang Xuanling got up: "Then it's not too late. Let's go to Ganlu Hall immediately and escort the prince to the East Palace."

"Yes!" Li Junxian bowed.

Then Fang Xuanling and Li Junxian came to Ganlu Hall together, and just after they opened the door to enter Ganlu Hall, Li Junxian saw Han Wang Li Yuanchang was there, and immediately shouted: "Take it!"

A group of hundreds of cavalry ran in from behind and directly took down Han Wang Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang still struggled and shouted: "What are you doing, I am the King of Han, and I am His Majesty's younger brother..."

But Li Junxian and Fang Xuanling were unmoved.

"Hey!" With a sigh, Li Chengqian stood up from his chair and said, "Mr. Fang, General Li. You failed alone!" After the sigh, there was still a feeling of relief.

"Your Highness, why?" Fang Xuanling didn't understand: "This world will be yours sooner or later."

But Li Chengqian looked at Fang Xuanling with a slight smile: "There are people who want to die, but it is better to live than to die, and the people next to them will ask, you even have the courage to die, why are you afraid of anything else?
It's just that you are not the person involved, and you don't know the pain in the heart of someone who wants to die. Sometimes, life is worse than death. This is called life is better than death.

Winner and loser, should we send Gu to prison now, or send Gu to Dongshi to be beheaded as an example to others. "

At this time, Li Chengqian was always smiling, that kind of smile was a casual smile, not a bit sad, but a relieved smile.

"Prison the Eastern Palace, wait for His Majesty to come back, and then release the order. However, before leaving, I want to ask you, is King Qi an accomplice?" Fang Xuanling looked at Li Chengqian seriously and asked.

"The fifth brother is not..." Li Chengqian quickly explained: "The fifth brother is no longer the previous fifth brother. He is very loyal to the father and emperor. He did not participate in Gu's rebellion. Oh, by the way, the fifth brother's uncle Yin Hongzhi participated in.

That's because Gu gave Yin Hongzhi a promise that as long as he helps Gu ascend to the throne, Gu will re-rectify the name of the Yin family. This is what Yin Hongzhi wanted a long time ago, so he took the bait.

The fifth brother didn't know anything about it, so Gu sent him to Bianzhou to suppress the water bandits. He did a good job, and I hope my father will learn from him. "

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I will report everything to Your Majesty when I know about it."

"Thank you!" Li Chengqian gave a gentle gift and smiled, "Then I will go back to the East Palace first."

After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran left the Ganlu Hall.

After Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, Li Chengqian did not go back to the bedroom, but came to Xinxin's tomb. Although Li Chengqian was very lonely at this time, he kept smiling and sat silently in front of Xinxin's tomb. With a smile: "Xingxin, we will meet down below soon, you don't know, Gu actually misses you very much, as long as Gu's leg hurts, he will miss you very much, Gu has no courage to die, it's all right now , I don’t need the courage to die anymore, I finally have nothing.”

As he said that, Li Chengqian smiled slightly, recalling the scene of meeting Xinxin for the first time in his mind.

Others thought that Li Chengqian was only lame. In fact, the biggest pain of gout was still pain. Li Chengqian, who had a sore leg, didn't want to do anything, only thinking about how to stop the pain from his feet.

At this moment, a child appeared in his life.

Thick eyebrows are slightly raised upwards, under the long and slightly eyelashes, there are a pair of clear eyes like morning dew, a straight nose bridge, pink lips like rose petals, and fair skin.

Seeing Li Chengqian's leg pain unbearably, the child would immediately run over to sing and dance to Li Chengqian to divert his attention.The child is very considerate. After singing and dancing, he chatted with Li Chengqian, listened to Li Chengqian's talk, and resolved Li Chengqian's troubles. After a long time, the two developed a self-evident relationship. Li Chengqian loved him a lot and named him "Xingxin". .

But within half a year, this matter spread to Li Shimin's ears.Li Shimin's Longyan was furious, and immediately ordered that Xinxin be pulled out and killed, and several insiders around Li Chengqian were also killed.

After the death of Xinxin, Li Chengqian was very sad, because there was no one to accompany him to resist the pain, and he could only support himself when he got sick.

Regardless of the serious consequences of Li Shimin's possible anger, he built a special tombstone for Xinxin in the East Palace, and asked Lianggong to carve a lifelike wooden statue according to Xin's appearance, and arranged the puppets, chariots and horses in front of the wooden statue, making the palace people day and night drink offering.

Li Chengqian came whenever he was free, wandering around and weeping.From then on, he felt resentment towards Li Shimin, saying that he was sick at home and would not go to court for several months.

Slowly, slowly, Li Chengqian fell asleep leaning on Xinxin's tombstone. He slept very peacefully, and his legs seemed to no longer hurt.

Li You of Bianzhou was planning to go fishing today, but before he went out, Yang Qu actually arrived, and then Yang Qu gave Li You an imperial edict. The contents of the imperial edict immediately brought Princess Jinyang and King Jin back to Beijing !

At the beginning, Li You and others didn't know what happened. Li Shimin was obviously in Jiucheng Palace, but now the imperial decree suddenly came, asking them to return to Beijing.

Later, Yang Qu introduced that Li Chengqian had rebelled. At this time, Li You finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

That afternoon, Li You took everyone back to Chang'an by boat. When returning to Chang'an, Li You immediately wrote a letter, the content of which was to plead for Li Chengqian.

Li You pleaded for Li Chengqian with all his strength in his above form, saying that Li Chengqian was just confused for a while, and Li You also discovered that Li Chengqian had some depression. As for when the depression occurred, Li You also described it in detail. A mental illness caused by too much stress.

Anyway, Li You did everything he could to excuse Li Chengqian, and the reason for the excuse was that Li You knew that Li Shimin didn't want Li Chengqian to die.

Li You knew the history, although Li Chengqian rebelled, he did not die, and none of the ministers in the court dared to say that the crown prince should be executed according to the law for treason.

In the end, Tongshi Sheren came to Jijin and said: "Your Majesty is a loving father. If the crown prince lives to the end of his life, he will be kind." Li Chengqian, the principal culprit, saved his life and was only deposed as a common man.
.As a result, Laiji was valued by Li Shimin, and his official position was continuously promoted. Soon he was appointed as a merit examiner, Wailang, and the next year he was promoted to Zhongshu Sheren, where he co-authored "Book of Jin" with Linghu Defen and others.

Even though Li Chengqian was abolished, Li Shimin still considered the future safety of his eldest son, and when establishing a new prince, he said that "Tai Li, Cheng Qian, and King Jin will not survive; Therefore, Li Zhi, who was young but gentle in character, was decisively established as the prince. The purpose was to be able to keep Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi, the three beloved sons, at the same time.

In December of the 18th year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian died of illness. Tang Taizong abolished the dynasty for him, and buried him with state ceremonies.

Of course, all of the above are stories and history.

Now Li You is crazy to excuse Li Chengqian, just to cater to this period of history and want to get Li Shimin's attention, but just when Li You thinks that he has done a good job.

An unexpected thing happened. The occurrence of this incident confused Li You for a moment, and made him doubt his own existence. What happened made Li You doubt himself. Let's see the next chapter break down.
