Chapter six hundred and twentieth: This Taiping emperor, I am determined!
In September of the seventh year of Wude, on the day when the long-distance Qin King Li Shimin returned to Chang'an from Tanzhou with Xuan Jiaqi and some incense and magical instruments obtained from Buddhist temples along the way, he received an order.
He was somewhat shocked by the news.
His Majesty Li Yuan, who had also just returned to Chang'an, publicly made the final judgment on Yang Wenqian's rebellion at the court meeting:
Yang Wenqian colluded with the Turks, intending to rebel and kill the three tribes!
Prince Li Jiancheng didn't know people well and was called a fool. He was confined in the East Palace for half a year to do introspection!
The officials of the East Palace were all guilty of Yang Wenqian's rebellion and were fined for one year and demoted one level. The prince Xima Wei Zheng neglected his duty and was demoted to the Sima of the East Palace. The prince Zhongyun Wang Gui and the prince Zuo Wei led Wei Ting.
Due to dereliction of duty, the prince could not be dissuaded from being exiled to Xizhou. Xu Shimu, the former Sima of the Eastern Palace, seduced the prince into plotting rebellion and was executed!
Sinong Qing Yu Wenying was not successful in doing things, but if she performed meritorious deeds in the later period, she would not be punished!
In addition: Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning first stabilized Chang'an and then conquered Qingzhou. She achieved great success. The number of households in the city was increased to 7,000, and the standing guard of the princess's mansion was allowed to be increased to 2,000.
As soon as this decision came out, it was like a bolt from the blue for Li Erfeng, who had obtained the Red Sky Sword not long after becoming a god and thought that his destiny was in his hands.
boom!
Furious, Li Shimin lifted the table and the cups and plates on the table in front of him clinked to the floor.
"Aye, what are you thinking about?"
Because he was in his own Tiance Mansion and was not worried about the news leaking out, Li Shimin did not hide his anger at all.
"Dalang, this is treason, treason... Such crimes can be forgiven, is there any unforgivable crime under the sun?"
Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Mou Duduan and other confidants of King Qin stood in the hall, with indignation on their faces.
Originally, they thought that King Qin would definitely become the crown prince this time, and they would be able to follow the rising tide... Although each of them now has the hope of becoming a god, wouldn't it be better if they could become gods without losing their wealth?
?
As a result, I returned to Chang'an happily, only to have a bucket of cold water poured on me!
"Auxiliary machine..."
After venting his anger, Li Shimin took a long breath, calmed down, and once again became the wise and powerful Tiance general.
"Is there any news from Liu Hongji? Why did Aye change his mind?"
"have!"
Changsun Wuji agreed, then took out a secret letter from his body, took a few steps forward, and handed it to his brother-in-law with both hands.
"Liu Hongji said in the secret letter that the saint's change of mind was mainly related to two people. One of them was the saint's new favorite Pei Jieyu, who was Pei Ju's niece Pei Xinru, and the other was driven to Renzhi Palace by Princess Pingyang.
Feng Deyi!"
"You said Pei Jieyu is Beidou Xingjun's niece?"
Li Shimin frowned slightly.
"Why did she do this? Did you not give it to her when you gave Ouchi a gift?"
"Your Highness Mingjian, because of the relationship between the Yin soldiers and the evil soldiers... In short, the palace now has sufficient wealth, so as long as the saint favors people two or three times in a row, I will give them all, and Pei Jieyu also accepted the previous gift.
!”
Changsun Wuji shook his head and continued.
"According to the reports from the eyes and ears in Renzhi Palace, Pei Jieyu did not speak ill of His Highness. Instead, he told the saint that His Highness had great achievements and had accomplished great achievements again this time. If His Highness were not the crown prince, everyone in the world would consider him a saint.
unfair!"
"This Pei Jieyu actually said this..."
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little puzzled.
"Then why did Liu Hongji say that this matter had something to do with her?"
"Maybe it's because her words angered the saint!"
Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, gave an ambiguous answer, and then said.
"In short, after the saint came out of Pei Jieyu's room, he drank for a while, summoned Feng Deyi, and asked him face to face, what if the prince was replaced by the King of Qin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin, who was a little impatient, stood up and asked a question.
"What did Feng Deyi say?"
"He said……"
Changsun Wuji paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"He said that the King of Qin was so powerful that if he were to become the emperor again, it would probably be detrimental to the saint. After all, there is only one day in the sky!"
"There are only two days in the sky, bah!"
After hearing these words, Cheng Yaojin immediately choked out.
"Even if His Highness has great achievements and power, he has earned it through life and death. These bastards in the court were missing during the war, but now they are all running out..."
"Yao Jin, stop talking!"
Li Shimin raised his head, stretched out his hand towards Cheng Yaojin, stopped him, and then said coldly.
"I remember asking Qingwei how to deal with this old guy Feng Deyi before going to Changsha. What did he say at that time?"
"He seems to be saying that the old guy hasn't finished his salary yet..."
Cheng Yaojin frowned and thought seriously.
"Then what happened!"
"Qingwei said that Feng Deyi is destined to sit on the right servant of the Minister..."
Fang Xuanling on the side touched his beard with his hand and said.
"So before sitting in this position, he is like a flying dragon in the sky. He can easily survive any disaster. But if he sits in the position of the minister's right servant, he will be a dragon with regrets, and his death will be at hand.
In the blink of an eye.”
"good!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"Qingwei's clever calculation cannot be wrong. In this case, Nagu will not give up the credit of Changsha this time, but also give Feng Deyi a proud and regretful one..."
"But wouldn't this be too cheap for this old thing?"
Cheng Yaojin on the side said angrily.
"If he dies like this, he will be rich, honorable, honorable, and be awarded posthumous titles..."
"Wealth, honor, honor? He's dreaming! When Gu becomes the Emperor of Taiping, he will have to spit out any good posthumous title or posthumous title for Gu."
Li Shimin waved his sleeves, his eyes cold.
"And before Feng Deyi died, Guhui personally went to the Taiji Hall in Yunzhong City to pray to Laojun, and even brought Qingwei to help lobby, saying that Gu, the Great Emperor Ziwei of Zhongtian North Pole, wanted to recommend a qualified person to Laojun.
The star king."
"Yes! That's right..."
Cheng Yaojin patted his thigh hard and said excitedly.
"It can be any big star, small star, mourning star, or hanging guest star!"
"No, these Xingjun's positions are too good..."
Yuchi Jingde quietly interjected on the side.
"Let him be a broom star, this suits him!"
"..."
After the joke, Li Shimin simply decided how to use his efforts at the next court meeting and directly pushed Feng Deyi to the right servant of Shangshu.
"That's right! This matter should not be initiated by our people. Feng Deyi has helped Da Lang so much this time, so Da Lang should also contribute to this matter..."
"But……"
Cheng Yaojin on the other side asked.
"Prince Jiancheng is very mean, how could he do this?"
"Just like Yu Wenying, let's do him a favor this time..."
Li Shimin sneered and pointed downward with his hand.
"Zhang Liang!"
"I'm here!"
When Zhang Liang, the curly-tongued star king standing at the bottom, heard the call to him, he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands respectfully.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"You go and give Princess Pingyang a gift on Gu's behalf. Say it's a special product Gu brought to her from Changsha. By the way, ask Sanniang to send a letter to Qingwei, saying that Gu has something important to see him and invites him.
Come to Chang'an to meet me!"
"yes!"
Zhang Liang, the Curly Tongue Star Lord, agreed, and then stepped back cautiously.
"Junji..."
"exist!"
A thin man stepped forward from below, crossed his arms and saluted.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions!"
"This incident in the East Palace has affected many people. You can quietly send someone to comfort them and tell them that all their losses, including fines and salaries, have been borne by them!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and continued.
"Also, let me tell them that if someone proposes to the prince that Feng Deyi be appointed as the minister's right servant, let them fully support it!"
"yes!"
Hou Junji respectfully agreed and then withdrew.
Fang Xuanling, who was standing aside, watched Li Shimin arrange how to deal with Feng Deyi with a commanding expression, and then walked to the middle of the hall with a solemn expression and clasped his hands.
"Your Highness, the matter of Feng Deyi is just a problem of scabies. Your Highness's top priority now is that the saint does not intend to replace the prince no matter what..."
While talking, Fang Xuanling bowed to Li Shimin.
"I would like to ask Your Highness what your plan should be, and I would like to ask Your Highness to help me clarify my doubts!"
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, the civil servants and generals of Tiance Mansion present also set their sights on Li Shimin.
"What are your plans?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes gradually became firmer.
"What are Gu Neng's plans? Gu and you have spent so much effort to ask the old gentleman to allow Gu to become a god and still be the emperor of peace for the rest of his life. How could Gu give up this position to Da Lang!"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, the civil servants and generals of Tiance Mansion present all nodded seriously.
That’s right!
So what about Li Jiancheng, the position of Emperor Taiping was promised to King Qin by the old man!
Then, they saw Li Shimin lowering his head and staring at Fang Xuanling with piercing eyes.
"Xuanling, do you still remember what Gu and you told Gu when you first met your distant ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan? And later Cheng Yaojin went to Qingwei to ask Gu when he would become the prince, he
What did you say again?"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Fang Xuanling's expression changed instantly.
"Yes! I remember..."
"The way of heaven is as long as the bow is drawn!"
Li Shimin raised his head, closed his eyes, and took a long breath.
"Actually, the distant ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan has made it very clear to Gu a long time ago about the prince's matter! Those who are high will suppress it, and those who are low will promote it; those who have more will damage it, and those who have less will make up for it..."
Having said this, Li Shimin opened his eyes and answered calmly.
"My lords, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I have thought about this prophecy of my distant ancestor many times, but I always felt that I couldn't do it. It wasn't until I became a god not long ago that I suddenly understood!
This time I took away Dalang's crown prince position, and at most I can give him a godly position!
If he is willing, Gu can even let him live in the human world with Gu for thirty years, and then go to the Star Palace together when Gu returns to his throne, but no matter what..."
As he spoke, Li Shimin raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
