Li Shimin was fascinated by the aroma of fried lamb with green onions and the bowl of white rice placed on the table.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly shook his head and laughed.
“It tastes really good.”
"This boy's cooking skills seem to have improved a lot in this time."
Li Shimin was not polite at all, he just picked up the chopsticks and began to eat happily. .??.
Is there any overnight feud between father and son?
One of the two talked about the truth, and the other stir-fried the mutton with green onions.
One listened and the other ate, all without saying a word.
That afternoon.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who were eating and drinking in Huixiang Tower, suddenly received a summons from Li Shimin.
Although both of them spoke very harshly at the beginning.
But when they were actually summoned by Li Shimin, the two of them did not dare to hesitate at all, and hurried back to the palace without even bothering to eat.
In the main hall, Li Shimin looked at the memorial in his hand.
Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling stood in the hall.
Li Shimin did not speak first, and neither of them dared to speak.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and it was Fang Xuanling who took the lead and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder why you are so anxious to summon your ministers here?"
Li Shimin said without raising his head: "Of course it's because of your old man's confrontation with me just now."
Something to contradict him?
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he was suddenly startled, his mind filled with confusion.
Li Shimin said quietly: "Old Fang, you have been an official for many years, you should know that the emperor cannot be deceived, right?"
"But how did you talk to me just now?"
"Based on what you just said, I think it's not an exaggeration to say that you are deceiving the emperor, right?"
Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at Fang Xuanling: "I will dismiss you and remove you from office. Is there no problem?"
"this……"
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel awkward.
He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would mention this matter at this time.
After all, it has been so long since he said those words Several hours have passed.
If Li Shimin cared about this very much, then he should have had the attack immediately. Why did he only think of talking about it now?
Changsun Wuji, who was standing next to him, reacted quickly and realized something was wrong immediately.
But before he had time to wink at Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin then said: "You are not young anymore."
"Logically speaking, you have reached the age where you can take care of your life."
"I know that you have worked hard and achieved great results, but I don't want to punish you."
"You go home and pack up and go to Mobei. The pasture there is short of a shepherd, so you can help me raise the sheep there."
When Li Shimin said these words, there was no emotion on his face and he looked very serious.
"His Majesty."
"I, I..."
Fang Xuanling felt very aggrieved.
I think Fang Xuanling was the prime minister of the dynasty. Even if we look at the world today, he is one of the best bachelors.
Asking him to raise sheep on the grassland would be a complete humiliation.
Fang Xuanling's old face flushed red, and it took a long time before she said: "If this is the case, it would be better for your Majesty to directly issue an order and send the minister back to his place of origin."
"Send it back to your place of origin?"
Li Shimin sneered: "I can't bear to let a talent like you go."
"I know that you still want to serve the country and the court."
"And it's not that I don't want to give you a chance."
Li Shimin said calmly: "Whenever Gongyang gives birth to a son, you can come back and continue to serve as prime minister."
Ram giving birth???
As soon as these words came out, Fang Xuanling's face turned green.
Changsun Wuji on the other side couldn't help but lower his head, suppressing laughter until his cheeks hurt.
In fact, anyone can see that Li Shimin did not really want to depose Fang Xuanling, but just used this to scare him.
That's all.
It's just that Fang Xuanling has an upright temperament and didn't react.
Fang Xuanling felt extremely humiliated. When she looked at Li Shimin, tears shone in her eyes.
he.
Fang Xuanling.
One of the two most important advisers around Li Shimin.
While in Qiandi, he made suggestions for Li Shimin and made outstanding achievements for him to seize the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future.
After that, he served as prime minister for more than ten years and promoted countless talents for the Tang Dynasty. ??
But now, Li Shimin is humiliating him like this.
Doesn't this just want him to die?
But seeing Fang Xuanling's aggrieved look about to burst into tears, Changsun Wuji really couldn't stand it anymore.
He quickly faced Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang is an outstanding person in our Tang Dynasty."
"Served as the left prime minister for many years and worked hard to select talents and promote officials for the Tang Dynasty."
"Even if Mr. Fang is at fault in this matter, he is not guilty of this."
Changsun Wuji bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please give him a chance to correct himself."
Fang Xuanling was also a little surprised to see Changsun Wuji, an old Yin man who would never disobey his superiors, interceding for himself.
But at the same time, he was also moved.
And the other side.
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with an imperceptible brightness.
He didn't even look at Changsun Wuji, his eyes remained on Fang Xuanling.
"I would like to give him a chance to change his ways."
"But now, the Tang Dynasty is in peace and prosperity, and Zhang Liang and Yin Hongzhi have been punished for rebelling against the party."
Li Shimin stroked the beard on his chin, narrowed his eyes and said, "There is nothing he can do anymore."
Others may not understand the meaning behind his words.
But how could Changsun Wuji not understand?
He was clearly trying to nudge Fang Xuanling, hoping that he would take the initiative to carry Zhang Liang and Yin Hong on his back. The blame for Zhi’s tragic death in the Dali Temple cell.
Knowing Li Shimin's thoughts, Changsun Wuji's heart suddenly became clear.
He handed over to Li Shimin and said: "Indeed, on the surface, the Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous and prosperous."
"But there is still one unresolved matter inside."
"oh?"
Li Shimin pretended to raise his eyes and asked: "What's the matter?"
"The Deaths of Zhang Liang and Yin Hongzhi."
Changsun Wuji seemed to be serious and said: "Although the tragic death of these two people in prison is hidden now."
"But there is no airtight wall in the world."
"When word gets out, there will definitely be friends of these two people who were alive and kicking around and secretly investigating the matter."
"Once those people know that His Highness the Crown Prince did this, they will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to His Highness the Crown Prince and the royal family."
"If at this time, someone can help His Majesty handle this matter, or wipe it out without anyone noticing."
Changsun Wuji glanced at Fang Xuanling, moved the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "I guess I've helped His Majesty a lot, right?"
"Um……"
Li Shimin rubbed his chin and said, "I really need someone to do this."
"But, can Laofang do it?"
"Of course!"
Before Fang Xuanling could respond, Changsun Wuji took over the conversation and said: "Lao Fang will definitely do this matter without leakage, and your Majesty will not have to worry about it at all."
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he looked at Changsun Wuji with strange eyes.
What does this guy say?
Why didn’t I know that I could do this kind of thing perfectly?
Just when Fang Xuanling was about to explain, Li Shimin nodded and said, "If this is really possible."
"I may as well not care about him, or I may forget his crime of deceiving the emperor."
Li Shimin waved his hand casually and said: "Okay, you two go down and come see me again when you finish the work!"
