Even though Changsun Shunde was trembling in Tai Chi Hall, he looked completely different when he was out of sight of the emperor.
With his forehead full of lawsuits, he looked at the furious Du Chuke, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Xiandi also said in the palace that now the people in the disciples are in panic and need to be comforted, so why do they go back on their word?
At this time, if you and I can't be of one heart and one mind, why are we so angry? If we live like this for a few days, I'm afraid we won't be punished for a year, right?"
Du Chuke held back his breath and pondered for a moment, then sneered and walked away. When he turned around, his cold words came out, "We are of the same mind and we have the same virtue? Ha, the eldest grandson minister should just take matters into his own hands."
Changsun Shunde looked at the opponent's back and gritted his teeth secretly. Du Shanbin, you used to think you were an honest man, but now you are pretending to be in front of the Tai Chi Hall. Who are you trying to show this to?
What he thought was absolutely correct. Even if Du Chuke was furious, if Feng Deyi had been around, he would not have exploded in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
At this time, most of them were showing off their emotions, and most of them could see the emperor's intentions, so that's why they were like this.
Du Chuke was also a person who had stayed in Luoyang's bandit den and was imprisoned there. Even though he had a more mellow temperament, he was definitely not a heartless fool. At this time, he would never be a swordsman and regard himself as the eldest grandson.
Shunde One Party.
On the way back, Changsun Shunde was preoccupied and temporarily took care of provincial affairs. Was this because he had touched the side of the servant?
The emperor had always had great faith in Feng Lun, and because Feng Lun himself was very careless, he had wanted to replace him for a long time, but he had been unable to do so.
Now that he finally had the opportunity, he would definitely seize it.
The emperor... has been in charge of Chang'an for six years. His civil and military skills are not those of Yang Guang, but Li Yuan's. There are many civil and military officials in the dynasty, and there are many close followers... Alas, it would have been better if it had been a few years ago. At that time, the emperor had just entered the capital and the world
It has not yet been decided, whether it is the Luoyang clan or the Chang'an clan, the emperor needs to comfort and rely on him.
In other words, the words of his eldest grandson Shunde carried full weight at that time.
But now times have passed, and several years have passed. Today, today's emperor uses force every year, pacifying the princes of the world, not to mention Goguryeo. The power is spread both internally and externally, and it has surpassed the achievements of the previous Sui Dynasty.
At this time, why does the emperor still need to ask questions when he is in court? All major events in the world will be decided with one word, and no one will dare to disobey him again.
Therefore, it is impossible to unite everyone and control the government like those who were in Luoyang back then. The most they can do is to protect themselves.
Thinking of his party members, Changsun Shunde weighed it several times and felt a little calmer.
He also knew that the emperor had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but that was nothing. After experiencing many chaotic situations, Changsun Shunde had always firmly believed that gathering a crowd can achieve things.
Without friends, how can one gain a foothold in the government? Without party members, what is the point of being an official? If one's family is not rich, how can one talk about being an official? Isn't it true that the emperor only has a group of party members to be called His Majesty?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the face of the eldest son Shunde. Hum, everyone is just average. What's wrong with his eldest son Shunde being the prime minister? He can be worse than Feng Deyi, who has a bad reputation and is like a lonely ghost.
Not successful?
And this is a character who came out of Henan. He has been deeply affected by the war in Henan. What he thinks, does and says is different from people in other places. He is not so reverent to the imperial power and never pursues power.
end.
…………
Of course, no matter what the two ministers thought, the restless ministers calmed down under their strict orders, and no one mentioned the visit to Feng Deyi's house anymore. There were fewer people talking, most of them
Everyone is watching the situation, waiting for the final news.
It’s just inevitable that people’s hearts will fluctuate...
Li Po was not interested in government affairs, so he only stayed in the Tai Chi Hall for half a day and then returned to the harem.
The officials of the outer dynasty got the news a little late. In the morning, Zhongshu ordered Xiao Yu to enter the palace to see him. Not long after, Shangshu Zuopushe Wen Yanbo also entered the Taiji Hall.
Then the two of them left the palace and went to Feng Mansion to visit Feng Deyi.
In fact, it is useless. In Li Po's opinion, the head wind syndrome is probably a brain hemorrhage, or a very serious one. Feng Lun is 99% unable to survive this test.
Just as he expected, in the evening of that day, news of the funeral came from Feng Mansion, and Feng Deyi passed away.
Feng Deyi had been in a coma, and he didn't even leave a last word. When Li Po heard the news, he also lamented.
Feng Deyi was extremely intelligent and well-mannered, and few people could match him in general. He was almost like another Pei Hongda.
I just didn't expect that Pei Hongda was still alive and well, but Feng Deyi, who was more than a year younger, took the lead.
When the news of the funeral reached the palace, Li Po was having dinner with his mother-in-law, and he couldn't eat anymore.
Although Feng Deyi had submitted to him for only a few years, he was so easy to use that a deep friendship was subtly formed between the monarch and his ministers.
I remembered that old man Feng acted like a scoundrel from time to time, licking his old face and coming to him to beg for a meal. He was also very interesting when talking, but on major matters, he could give him advice and not fall behind others.
…
Thinking of these, Li Po couldn't help but sigh to himself, there may never be such a person in front of him again in the future. Feng Lun's death is tantamount to the tragic loss of Qiancheng.
Perhaps because of his old age, Li Po felt a little sad, which is rare. This also shows that Feng Deyi's weight in his heart is almost no less than that of Chen Xiaoyi, Wen Yanbo and other old Jinyang people.
In this way, Feng Deyi's posthumous name has been determined.
Li Po ordered the Zhongshu, the Ministry of Rites, and the secretaries and supervisors to discuss matters such as the posthumous meritorious services, rewards, and funeral arrangements for the Deyi people.
The death of a prime minister from a sudden illness is definitely not a good thing for the court, and can easily lead to a series of chaos and even court disputes.
If a powerful official dies, he may face a wave of purges or a rebellion.
These are normal situations, but Feng Deyi is different. Although he died in office, in an environment like the early Tang Dynasty, when the founding king was still in office, he had only a small family and not many relatives and friends.
There was no large-scale recruitment of party members, so it didn't cause such a big stir.
The emperor's intention was very clear. It was a meritorious service to the country to be granted a title, and he was one of the founding heroes. He wanted to discuss his merits and not to find fault. The posthumous title he was given had to be a good one.
In order to express his attitude, he immediately left the court for three days and personally went out of the palace to Feng Mansion to express condolences to Feng Deyi's family. This was a very clear gesture.
The ministers understood the situation and quickly placed a corresponding document on the emperor's case.
According to the procedure, the descendants of Feng Deyi must first describe Feng Deyi's achievements, or even some stains in his life, but generally it is just an expression of merit. Unless absolutely necessary, descendants will not throw dirty water on their father or grandfather.
of.
It's just that Feng Deyi was born in a single lineage, and he had a son in his later years. Feng Yandao is only ten years old now, so he definitely can't bear the heavy responsibility.
So this link was ghostwritten by Yang Shidao, a member of Zhongshushe.
After it was handed over to Zhongshu, it was polished by Cen Wenwen, the minister of Zhongshu, and it was negotiated by secretary-superintendent Wen Dalin, author Lang Yu Shinan, Zhongshu Ling Xiao Yu, Minister of Rites Li Gang and others.
Therefore, it only briefly talks about Feng Deyi's official experience in the previous dynasty, and only details his achievements in the first six years of the Tang Dynasty. The conclusion is naturally that he has made meritorious service to the country, deserves to be worthy of his ancestors, and should be a famous minister in the world.
Even so, Li Po still had to return the title three times before settling on it. The ministers inside and outside the court saw the emperor's operation, and it was needless to say that they were jealous and resentful.
The important ministers in the court, especially those who could be given posthumous titles after death, were very comforted in their hearts. The emperor was so affectionate and righteous, and they and others did not have to worry about their reputation after death.
But there are also people who can't see clearly. Maybe they can see clearly, but they just want to be a retrograde person and gain a reputation. Anyway, they are causing trouble for the emperor.
The imperial censor Tang Lin, Niu Xingyuan and others wrote a letter saying, "Feng Lun has inherent merits, but he is cunning, has much talent for speculation, and has the skill of entrusting people. Dang Yangsu can be honored and favored, and he can live by being attached to him."
.
If you assist Yang Guang and lose your foundation, you may have a shameful face, and if you support the ministers and return to the Mingjun, you will not be ashamed..."
An article was written with great literary talent, and it all hit the point. Feng Deyi had a lot of debts, so he didn't blame others for talking about it, and the censor was born for this. Li Po was big-hearted and could tolerate it.
If you have any objections, just ignore them.
History is always written by the victors. As the founder of the country, he wanted to leave a good name for Feng Deyi and reward him for his merits, so that he could leave his good name in the world. As for what future generations say, he couldn't control it.
so many.
However, a few days later, Tang Jian, the minister of the Ministry of War, made another mistake and wrote a letter saying: "Feng Lun was deeply favored during his lifetime, but his shortcomings were exposed after his death. This is the principle of righteousness in the world, and I ask the court to reconsider it."
Regarding his merits and demerits, his posthumous title should be changed to set the record straight."
Li Po took a look at the memorial and asked Sun Fuga, "Are Tang Shilang and Tang Lin related?"
Sun Fuga replied: "Tang Lin is Tang Maoyue's cousin..."
Li Po smiled slightly, did the Tang family have any grudge against Feng Deyi? People were already dead, and yet they still clung to it without caring about it? Is this the grudge that was forged in Li Yuan's time? It's not like that...
It's just that Tang Jian is no longer the Tang Maoyue who knew soldiers under Li Yuan. In Li Po's opinion, this man has never led an army in his life, so how can he be known as a soldier?
In recent years, he has not made much achievements in the position of Minister of War, and his talents are extremely limited. Perhaps it is because he misses his old master and is unwilling to contribute?
There are still some incidents happening at the Ministry of War. Li Poke always remembers that someone said that the Ministry of War has any official positions below the fifth rank. Now Tang Jian, the Minister of War, is the only one in Beijing. He wants to see what else can happen at the Ministry of War.
Moth.
Li Po is not Li Shimin. He has not experienced the story of brothers fighting against each other, and he will not care about Feng Deyi's manipulation in it. Therefore, what Tang Jian said is insignificant.
Feng Deyi's posthumous affairs were quickly settled. He gave Sikong the posthumous title Wenzhong, and Yin's son Feng Yandao Bohai County Duke, Yulin Wei, entered the palace to accompany the prince.
