Chapter 475: Calm down!
Qin Rui's arrival made Princess Taiping's originally blue face turn pale in an instant, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground, her hands trembled constantly, and cold sweat instantly covered her forehead.
During the Wu Zhou period, when she and Li Dan rebelled in the Wanxiang Temple, Qin Rui walked in like this and calmed down her power, but it is still the case today.
But unlike in the past, it is not Wu Zhou anymore, and it is not her mother who sits on it, so the price of this failure will be her and the entire princess's mansion, just like Wu Chengsi back then.
Looking at his soldiers, like frost-beaten eggplant, he didn't even dare to resist. He was taken down by the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Guard. After more than ten years of planning, all of them were lost in one go, and Li Lingyue felt as if she was in a state of destruction.
After personally helping Qin Rui and Li Ren, Li Chongrun walked to Princess Taiping and said lightly: "Rebellion is a technical job, and no one has ever lived twice like you."
"Don't blame me, don't miss my aunt and nephew. You walked the bubble on your feet by yourself." After saying that, he waved to the Feiqigu below and suppressed Princess Taiping.
After returning to the dragon throne and sitting down, Li Chongrun said with a deep expression: "Today, the officials in the court have scolded the anti-national thieves, and they have been very cheerful of scolding."
"I am very comforted, very much! Because I see the loyalty of all the nobles and the hearts of the people, it is so good that with the unity of the king and the ministers, the Tang Dynasty can prosper day after day."
Immediately afterwards, Li Chongrun said a lot of beautiful words, which made the ministers laugh and then rewarded them again. Those "screaming guests" who spoke for justice and were not afraid of life and death immediately retreated from the court.
It’s impossible to retreat! First of all, Princess Taiping is an elder of the royal family, and is among the legitimate princesses. She is one of the most noble princesses in the Tang Dynasty. Her rebellion not only ruined Li Chongrun’s face, but also a scandal in the entire royal family.
Secondly, although he knew Qin Rui and Li Ren's character, he did not see with his own eyes that the queen and princesses were safe and would never be assured. As a father, he would always have more concerns than before.
The last and most important point is how to deal with the aftermath. Obviously, Princess Taiping and the heads of the He Mansion cannot calm the indignation of the court. Therefore, he must discuss with Qin Rui and Li Ren and other important officials of the court and the elders of the royal family.
At a moment, he comforted Qin Xi and the children. Li Chongrun met with six important officials including Qin Rui, Du Shenyan, Li Ren, Wang Xiaojie, Cheng Qizhi, and Li Jiao in Xuanzheng Hall. His faces did not have the same smile as when facing up, but instead he looked solemn.
"I think I am very good at treating the royal family. The rules, fiefs, and rewards from all four seasons are the most important. Even the sidelines have been promoted to princes."
"Li Longye is here to protect his lord, but in fact he is Princess Taiping's lackey. Will Taiping rebellion still make him the crown prince?"
"At that time, when the Wanxiang Divine Palace was in trouble, the Empress Dowager had already let them go, and I was still rewarded with high officials and generous titles. Why did I still embarrass me so much!"
When it comes to the issue of the royal family, Li Chongrun was definitely the most generous monarch since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with Taizong and Gaozong, he was not a little stronger.
The treatment of them has never increased, but not decreased, and with a little ability, they will be promoted first and given the opportunity to make contributions.
Li Chongrun always felt that he was already a person who knew how to share. He had given them all, so why couldn’t he fill their ambitions?
To obtain the throne, he depends on great fortune. He, the deposed crown prince, was also the inherited throne under the circumstances of time, place and people.
"Your Majesty, there is only one dragon throne. Li Lingyue and others are not targeting Your Majesty. No matter they sit here, they will do this."
The other five people kept silent, lowered their heads and said nothing. Qin Rui was the one who could speak. Who made him the leader of all officials? There was no way, if you sit in this position, you had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
"In the first year of Sisheng, the old minister was still a small captain of the Imperial Guards, and he witnessed the deposed scene of Zhongzong...."
The royal struggle is always bloody and not controlled by emotions. Zhongzong is considered a kind and righteous gentleman, but he is still squeezed out by the cruel royal internal struggle.
After Zhongzong restored the crown prince, he died in an seemingly normal accident in just over a month. All of this stems from the cruelty of the imperial power struggle.
In the rebellion of the Wanxiang Divine Palace, the Empress Dowager, who was on the throne, could not lose the bloodline of Emperor Gaozong because of the special court and the thoughts of Li. If he was not careful in handling it, he would cause chaos in the world.
After weighing the pros and cons, Li Dan's reserve position was abolished and Princess Taiping was imprisoned for some time. The choice was to turn big things into small things, and small things into small things. This was the result of the special political situation at that time.
But the situation back then cannot be compared with the present. Li Chongrun was the emperor who inherited the throne and had been in power for more than ten years and had made achievements. He was the emperor who was operating the Tang Dynasty and had a prosperous life every year, and was deeply loved by the people of the world. He was an emperor who followed the Taoist throne of the world.
When Taiping, King Xue and others rebelled under such circumstances, they would be exterminated by the Tang Dynasty and their ancestors, and they would be guilty of death and life. If they issued an order to kill them, the emperor would not bear any infamy.
Qin Rui asked the emperor to relax his concern about this kind of royal family. After all, most royal families are good, and have followed His Majesty's footsteps over the years, making contributions to the court and the Li family. They should not be beaten to death with one blow.
"What the Taiwei said was the old man's advice to plan the country, and the old ministers agreed very much. During the two Western Expeditions, some royal families also made many military achievements. This shows that Your Majesty's hard work was not in vain."
"That's right, I'll discuss the statement of Du Xiang. The rebels Li Lingyue and Li Longye were guilty of the Heaven and betrayed their ancestors. Their sins were caused by their own faults. Your Majesty does not have to be guilty or anxious."
Qin Rui made a good start, Du Shenyan and Li Jiao expressed their attitudes one after another. Rebellion was disgraceful, but since the matter was done, the face was lost, and there was no need to be stubborn about it.
Hearing the comfort of the three ministers, Li Chongrun felt much better. He noticed that Qin Rui blinked at him again, and Li Ren and Cheng Qizhi's expressions were a little weird, so he immediately waved his hand to discuss the matter of Princess Taiping and King Xue's rebellion, and then discuss it later.
"Okay, everyone has been exposed, so let's talk more easily!" As he spoke, Li Chongrun got up and moved his muscles. In front of Qin Rui and the other two, he didn't have to be stern.
"Your Majesty, I have some gazes about the death of Emperor Zhongzong." King Cheng Li Ren, when he saw Qin, Cheng and the others nodded and said with a solemn expression.
