Chapter 260 Chapter 260: Wei Zheng forced the palace
Muchuan was ordered by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to build the Jinyiwei Command Palace in Chang'an.
After the establishment of the Jinyiwei command house, Muchuan officially assumed the post of chief commander of the Jinyiwei.
Muchuan personally led the Jin Yiwei and was ordered to inspect all officials, but at the same time he also attracted everyone's attention.
After all, now he personally holds the power and is still the emperor's confidant. Suddenly, everyone in the court is in danger.
Prime Minister Wei Zheng, for this matter, personally went to Tai Chi Hall to pay homage to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was in the Tai Chi Hall, preparing to set up Jinyiwei command posts in various places.
At this moment, Prime Minister Wei Zheng came in.
When Wei Zheng entered the gate of Tai Chi Hall, he said: "Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin was immediately startled by Wei Zheng's voice, and he suddenly raised his head.
At this time, Wei Zheng had already arrived in front of him.
Although Li Shimin was a great lord of his generation and was respected throughout the world as the Khan of Heaven, the only one he feared was naturally Wei Zheng.
Because this Wei Zheng not only means that he has a bad temper, but he is also upright and unyielding. Once he decides on something, there will definitely not be any change.
Now that Wei Zheng is here, it's definitely not a good thing.
Li Shimin had some uneasy premonitions in his heart.
He said: "My dear, what's important..."
Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Li Shimin gave a wry smile. Naturally, he already knew what was going on, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Wei Zheng, why did you come to remind me now? Why didn't you object to the public when I proposed it in the court?"
When Wei Zheng heard this, he shook his head and said, "That's because I think that what your Majesty is worried about is an important matter, and what he said is reasonable, but now the creation of Jinyiwei really does more harm than good!
"
Li Shimin frowned and said: "Wei Zheng, why did you say this? You should tell me quickly and let me hear why it is like this!"
Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, I know in Your Majesty's mind why you set up this Imperial Guard. The first reason is to inspect all officials, and why you need to be independent from all officials. That's because you are worried that there are some officials among them."
The treacherous people brought down the supervisory officials!"
"Secondly, I want to use the meritorious service of the Jin Yiwei to monitor the army. If they commit something illegal and cannot be dealt with locally, they can leave it to the Jin Yiwei to handle it personally. This can ensure the safety of the whole party!"
"Third, the main purpose is to monitor the lawbreakers among the royal family. It is they who make them dare not break the law, but now things are not as your Majesty thought!"
After saying this, he sighed with a look of helplessness.
When Li Shimin heard this, he was quite surprised, and for a moment he became curious.
"Since you know my intentions, why do you want to dissuade me?"
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Just because if the Jin Yiwei is really in operation, it will be an extremely terrifying murder weapon, and it will also make people in the court panic. It can be said that the political situation will be unstable at that time!"
These words came out immediately, making Li Shimin even more puzzled.
"Is that just because of this? If I don't create this Jinyiwei, then who will supervise the officials for me, and who will supervise the military meritorious service personnel for me? Who will check for me those who are cheating and sneaking around?
A criminal relative of the royal family?"
There was a sense of determination in Li Shimin's words.
Although he admired Wei Zheng, he was afraid of Wei Zheng.
But after all, he is still an emperor, and he has his own persistence.
Wei Zheng felt a little anxious after hearing his words.
"Your Majesty's move is the same, so he surrenders the country to others!"
Li Shimin was very strange and said: "Why would Aiqing say this?"
Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that your Majesty is now over forty years old? Even if your Majesty is now very powerful, but after all, manpower is sometimes poor, your Majesty can intimidate the Jinyi Guards. That's because Your Majesty
You are wise and mighty, but what if your Majesty's instructions no longer act like your Majesty's?"
There was a hint of vigilance in Wei Zheng's words.
As a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally wanted to prevent this problem for the Tang Dynasty.
When Li Shimin heard this, he felt a bit surprised and doubtful, and suddenly some doubts came out of his heart.
He immediately felt horrified.
"My dear, what you said is absolutely true!"
When he said this, he took a deep breath and took a breath of cold air. His eyes showed a strong sense of horror. He had already reflected it, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
, that’s right!
If I die after a hundred years, what if my heirs cannot control the Imperial Guard?
Once such a terrible thing happens, where will the country of Datang go?
Thinking of this, he immediately said: "In this case... our country in the Tang Dynasty is bound to..."
Wei Zheng immediately said: "So the move your Majesty used was a foolish move. If your Majesty had his own way, it would only cause misfortune. Does your Majesty still remember the two emperors Huan Ling during the Eastern Han Dynasty? These two emperors, the emperor
The situation is controlled by the eunuchs. Although His Majesty does not favor the eunuchs now, but if the royal guards are allowed to do this, what will happen in the future?"
Li Shimin immediately clenched his fists, feeling that his words were very reasonable.
He took a deep breath of air and frowned tightly.
"This really makes sense!"
When I said this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath of air, clenched my fists and made my decision at the moment.
"Even so, should I cancel it?"
Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty should immediately remove the Imperial Guards and issue an edict to punish yourself immediately!"
Li Shimin immediately frowned.
"Wei Zheng, if you say this, how can I agree to you? I am the co-owner of the world. Although the decisions I make are wrong, how can I easily sin against myself?"
Wei Zheng laughed coldly: "Although your Majesty has the body of a ten thousand gold dragon and is a wise king and holy master who is rare to meet in a thousand years, he is only a mortal after all. All mortals make mistakes. Qin Shihuang, the emperor of the ages, will eventually be reviled, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
, Liu Che was also criticized as a lonely man. Your Majesty is just a mere mortal, and the imperial edict of sin is just to admit your mistakes to the people of the world and the courtiers. Your Majesty does not even have this kind of mind, how can you lead the world? "
Wei Zheng's words are very harsh.
Li Shimin felt very unhappy after hearing this. His heart was full of helplessness, and he could not move him.
The anger in my heart disappeared instantly, and I couldn't help but sigh, this old boy!
Thinking of this moment in his heart, he smiled bitterly and said: "But if I ask... this sinner's edict... is really..."
Wei Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, please judge! Your Majesty's appointment of the Imperial Guards was a mistake in the first place. He issued an edict to punish himself, but he just admitted his mistake!"
