Chapter 0482 The ethics of the fence-sitter

Man Tang Hong Chapter 0482 The Ethics of the Fence Riders

When Li Yuanji returned to Jiudao Palace, it happened to be lunch time.

Yang Miaoyan ordered the cook to prepare a large table of sumptuous food and wine.

After Li Yuanji simply washed up, he started eating with his family.

at the same time.

Feng Lun, who was sent to Tai Hospital by Qian Niu Bei Shen and Bei Shen, woke up.

The first time Feng Lun opened his eyes, what he saw was not his little lord Li Shimin, but his eldest lord Li Yuan.

Li Yuan just sat quietly on his bedside with a gloomy expression.

"Saint...saint?"

Feng Lun seemed not to have expected Li Yuan to appear, his face was full of surprise, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Li Yuan didn't care about Feng Lun's reaction and asked coldly: "What does the memorial letter you secretly sent me a few days ago mean?"

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here

Feng Lun hurriedly got up, climbed out of bed, bowed respectfully to Li Yuan, and said solemnly: "Sage, the position of the prince is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be easily abolished."

Li Yuan stared at Feng Lun coldly and said, "That's not what you said in court today."

Feng Lun did not hide it, and said calmly: "I am the Sima of Tiance Mansion, so naturally I have to speak to His Highness King Qin in the court."

Li Yuan snorted coldly and said: "So, there is no need for it in the court?"

Feng Lun said without hesitation: "That's not..."

Li Yuan stared and asked, "What is that?"

Feng Lun solemnly said: "Under the court, I can express a few words of truth to the saint."

Li Yuan stared at Feng Lun and said nothing.

Feng Lun cupped his hands and said slowly: "Sage, the position of the prince is related to the foundation of the country, and it is also related to whether the throne of the Tang Dynasty can be passed down in an orderly manner.

Although His Highness the King of Qin is an unprecedented wise master, he is not the eldest son of a saint after all.

If a saint deposed the prince because of a highly doubtful case, he would make His Highness the King of Qin the prince.

Then when the throne of the Tang Dynasty changes in the future, many similar things will inevitably happen."

Li Yuan suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Feng Lun and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Feng Lun said without fear: "Of course I know what I am talking about. I just don't want to see many similar things happen to me in the future of the Tang Dynasty, so I dare to say a few words of truth in front of the saint."

Li Yuan acted as if he didn't hear what Feng Lun was saying, staring at Feng Lun and saying solemnly: "You are hinting to me that that beast Li Jiancheng was framed!

"

Feng Huan said seriously: "Li Gong and Pei Gong have been saying that there are many doubts about His Highness the Crown Prince's case. Since there are doubts, then it is very likely that His Highness the Crown Prince has been wrongly accused.

Why didn’t the saint give His Highness the Crown Prince a chance to investigate this case again, and why didn’t He give His Highness the Crown Prince a chance to prove his innocence?”

Li Yuan growled angrily: "I personally reviewed the eucalyptus, how could it be wrong?"

Feng Lun said disapprovingly: "There are times when saints are deceived by others, just like when the Xinping County Magistrate was embezzled. All the evidence pointed out that it was the Xinping County Magistrate who was corrupt. The saint also sentenced Xinping County Magistrate Lingchi, but in the end

The result of re-examination was that the doctor of the Ministry of Finance was responsible for the trouble, and the Xinping County Magistrate was just a scapegoat. The saint also expelled the clan of the doctor of the Ministry of Finance and exiled the other two clans.

It can be seen from this that what the saint personally investigated may not necessarily be the truth.

Therefore, I hope that the saint can re-verify His Highness the Crown Prince’s case, and it is best to leave it to someone whom the saint can trust."

Li Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted: "Who is trustworthy? Who is trustworthy, Li Jiancheng?"

Feng Lun said solemnly: "Of course he is someone the saint can trust."

Li Yuan stared at Feng Lun closely and said, "Then if I tell you that this case was investigated by my most trusted people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what would you say?"

Feng Lun bowed respectfully to Li Yuan and said, "Then ask the saint to check again with someone else."

Li Yuan shouted: "What if I don't check?"

Feng Lun hurriedly said: "Don't you have any doubts in the saint's heart? Don't you think this case was checked very smoothly? Don't you think it's like someone prepared all this in advance?"

Li Yuan's breathing gradually became heavier and he stared at Feng Lun without saying a word.

Feng Lun continued: "Why did the sage promise His Highness the King of Qin to be the crown prince three times and then broke the promise three times? Does the Sage really hope that His Highness the King of Qin will become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and take your place?"

Li Yuan's breathing became more rapid, and he stared at Feng Lun harder.

Feng Lun said seriously: "Although I don't know what mistakes His Highness the Crown Prince has made, I know that compared with the mistakes His Highness the Crown Prince has made, the future of the Tang Dynasty is more important, and the orderly inheritance of the throne of the Tang Dynasty is more important.

.”

"enough!"

Li Yuan growled.

Feng Lun gritted his teeth and continued: "If the saint does not want the tragedy in the Sui Palace to happen again in our Tang Dynasty, then he should give His Highness a clean slate and ensure that the throne of our Tang Dynasty can be passed down in an orderly manner."

Feng Lun's words were quite explicit. He almost told Li Yuan clearly that it didn't matter what the truth was, and that the orderly inheritance of the Tang Dynasty throne was the most important.

If Li Yuan hoped that the throne of the Tang Dynasty could be passed down in an orderly manner, he could completely clear Li Jiancheng through re-examination, regardless of whether Li Jiancheng was wrong or not.

"I said! That's enough! Didn't you hear?!"

Li Yuan suddenly became like an angry lion and shouted angrily at Feng Lun.

Feng Lun saluted Li Yuan without fear: "I risked my life to say this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. If the sage feels that what I said is wrong, he can deal with me at will, and I will never complain.

"

Li Yuan showed a fierce look on his face and took two steps closer to Feng Lun, but in the end he didn't do anything to Feng Lun or say anything else. He just waved his sleeves fiercely in front of Feng Lun and left the room angrily.

Inside.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huh..."

Feng Lun breathed a sigh of relief after Li Yuan left.

He knew that what he said touched Li Yuan's heart, so even if Li Yuan was stimulated by him and wanted to kill someone, he didn't do anything to him.

He also knew that Li Yuan was a qualified family head and clan leader who knew how to choose when faced with this kind of problem.

He fainted in the Tai Chi Hall today just to wait for Li Yuan to come to the door and then say these words to Li Yuan.

If Li Yuan didn't come to him, he would find a way to come to him and tell Li Yuan these words.

As for why he, as Sima of Tiance Mansion, secretly helped Li Jiancheng, it naturally had something to do with his experience and opinions.

When he first attached himself to the Tang Dynasty, the person he most wanted to follow was Li Jiancheng, and the person he most wanted to assist the left was also Li Jiancheng.

Because Li Jiancheng was the eldest son and not that cowardly, he believed that if nothing unexpected happened, Li Jiancheng would definitely ascend to the throne of God.

But God did not follow his wishes, and Li Yuan did not assign him as an official under Li Jiancheng, but assigned him to Li Shimin.

Although after joining Li Shimin, he saw what God-given masters were and what God-given talents were, his heart was still toward Li Jiancheng.

For no other reason than because Li Jiancheng was the eldest son.

In fact, he is the same type of person as Li Gang, Pei Ju and others, who firmly support the eldest son inheritance system.

The primogeniture system of inheritance not only ensures that the throne can be passed down in an orderly manner, but also ensures that he and his descendants can rest on his merits for many years.

This may seem to go against the saying, "One emperor, one courtier", but it is true.

Because as long as the throne is passed down through the generations in a bloodless way, then the merits of supporting the emperor can also be passed down through the generations.

If the descendants of future generations strive to achieve their goals, even the titles and power can be passed down in the same line.

In the end, a small family can become a family that is based in a state, a country, or even affects a dynasty.

And when a family becomes a family that can influence a dynasty, it can inherit the family for many years and be rich and honorable for many years. Even when faced with the change of dynasty, it can make many choices, just like the old clan king Xie.

Although it is very difficult to develop a small family into a noble family, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, and it may even die in the middle, but compared to constantly betting on the whole family in the bloody replacement of the throne, the life of the whole family is

It is obviously safer to choose between lives and bloodless succession of the throne.

After Li Yuan left the Taiyuan Hospital, his heart felt like a mess, with endless anger welling up in his chest. He just couldn't vent it out, and he didn't know who to vent it to.

He originally wanted to visit Li Gang and Pei Ju and ask why Li Gang and Pei Ju wanted to protect Li Jiancheng at the risk of their reputation.

But now I have no intention of doing so.

He returned to the Manna Hall and locked himself in the hall alone, venting the anger in his chest in various silent ways.

When his anger was almost vented, looking at the empty Manna Hall, he suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to and talk to someone about what was on his mind.

So he immediately thought of Pei Ji, and immediately ordered someone to summon Pei Ji to the Ganlu Hall for an audience.

When the visitor who conveyed Li Yuan's oral instructions arrived at Pei Ji's house, Pei Ji had just attended Li Shimin's banquet and received numerous benefits from Li Shimin. When he heard the visitor said that Li Yuan had summoned him, he rushed to the Ganlu Palace without stopping.

When Li Yuan saw Pei Ji, he felt like he was seeing a relative. With Pei Ji's compliments and compliments, he poured bitter tears on Pei Ji.

In order not to betray Feng Lun, Li Yuan concealed Feng Lun's name and told Pei Ji what Feng Lun had told him.

After hearing this, Pei Ji was stunned for a long time. Then, with Li Yuan's urging, he gave Li Yuan a sentence that was completely different from the attitude in the court, "Since your heart has been shaken, what's the point of further investigation? If His Royal Highness is really the

If someone is wrongly accused, then His Highness the Crown Prince can be cleared of his innocence. If His Highness the Crown Prince is not unjustly accused, then the result of further investigation will be the same."

Having said this, Pei Ji said with a serious face: "Although I don't know who said this to you, it is indeed an old man's words to seek the country."

Li Yuan collapsed on the ground and gritted his teeth and said: "I don't care if we check again, what I care about is that if we check again, the result will still be the same!"

Pei Ji said thoughtfully: "What you care about is not the result. What you care about is if the result is the same, do you want to let the Crown Prince go?"

Pei Ji saw clearly that what Li Yuan cared about was not the result of another check, but whether to let Li Jiancheng go if the result was the same.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have struggled with this issue.

After all, Li Yuan had already made a decision on how to deal with Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan had also accepted the fact that Li Jiancheng was a 'criminal'.

If he checks again, the result will be the same and the decision will be the same, so Li Yuan doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, looked gloomy, and said nothing.

Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan was acquiescing to his words, and immediately said: "You should have listened to the words of the person who advised you, so it is difficult to make a decision, right?"
