Li Shimin said helplessly: "Auxiliary machine, what are you doing? The relationship between you and me, do I have to punish you for such a small thing? Get up quickly, if the queen sees it, you are the real one
Got into trouble!"
Changsun Wuji trembled when he heard this and quickly stood up.
Changsun Wuji loved and feared his sister. The brother and sister lost their father when they were young and grew up in the home of their uncle Gao Shilian. It can be said that they depended on each other. Needless to say, they had a deep relationship, but there was only one thing that made Changsun Wuji
Very distressed. Because his sister is not like the daughter of an ordinary nobleman. Her resourcefulness and decision-making are far beyond those of ordinary men. She can be said to be incomparable to women.
For Li Shimin to successfully ascend the throne and become emperor, Empress Changsun's contribution is definitely no less than anyone else's. As early as the Wude period, because Li Shimin's outstanding achievements shocked the emperor and he was not polite to the concubines in the harem, he offended Li Yuan's concubines from time to time.
Some people gossiped about him and said bad things about him. When Queen Changsun heard about it, she often went to the palace to help Li Shimin resolve the conflicts. At the same time, she paid attention to the rumors everywhere and collected information for Li Shimin.
Later, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Empress Changsun persuaded Li Shimin to make up his mind. When the incident took place that day, she stood side by side with Li Shimin and encouraged the soldiers, thus winning the hearts of the soldiers. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was opposed and ridiculed by many old ministers, which made him almost angry.
The first time he wanted to raise the butcher knife, Empress Changsun persuaded him to calm down. Wei Zheng is an example. Without Empress Changsun, he would have died countless times.
Whenever Li Shimin was indecisive, he would often ask Empress Changsun for advice, and she would always be enlightened because Empress Changsun always looked at things very calmly and had provided Li Shimin with a lot of help over the years.
Changsun Wuji was afraid of his sister. The reason could be traced back to when Li Shimin had just ascended the throne. At that time, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne and rewarded Conglong's meritorious officials. Changsun Wuji had always followed Li Shimin and never left Li Shimin in his most difficult time. Li Shimin was very proud of it.
Moved, and coupled with the relationship with Empress Changsun, Li Shimin planned to make Changsun Wuji the right servant of Shangshu.
Li Shimin once held the post of Shangshu Ling. When he ascended the throne as emperor, it was difficult to re-establish the post of Shangshu Ling. Therefore, the right servant of Shangshu was appointed minister. In essence, he had the power of Shangshu Ling and was the real prime minister.
This matter reached the ears of Empress Changsun, and she met with strong opposition. She believed that as a queen, she was the favorite of the family and should not grant high positions to her relatives. Maybe nothing would happen in a short time, but if the relatives are all over the government and the public, in the future,
It would be a huge hidden danger. Li Shimin believed that Changsun Wuji had both political integrity and talent, so he did not follow her advice. Queen Changsun directly ordered Changsun Wuji to resign, and the stalemate lasted for more than half a month. In the end, Li Shimin compromised and did not appoint Changsun.
Wuji served as the minister's right servant, and was given the title of Cong Yipin. He opened the Yitong three divisions and served as an idle official for more than a year before being appointed as the minister of the Ministry of official affairs.
Having learned from the past, if she finds out about this matter now, the consequences can be expected. Changsun Wuji's plea for punishment was just a show, but he didn't really want to accept the punishment. Li Shimin asked him to get up, so he got up on the donkey down the slope.
.
Li Shimin gave him a seat and told Changsun Wuji the cause and effect. This matter was mixed with official and private matters. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, it was really the most appropriate thing to talk to Changsun Wuji. Li Shimin was full of words, and he was somewhat complaining.
Li Yuan, but at the same time he felt a sense of relief. He had been emperor for more than three years and could finally move into the Tai Chi Palace. Thinking back to the words that his father had ridiculed, Li Shimin almost shed tears.
Changsun Wuji also felt the same way about this matter. Since he had always been a best friend of Li Shimin's lineage, he was not favored by Li Yuan before Li Shimin ascended the throne. Later, during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Yuan died.
The two second sons hated Changsun Wuji even more deeply. Li Yuan believed that it was Li Shimin who was instigated by Changsun Wuji, and wanted to kill him to comfort his two sons. Therefore, in the past few years, Changsun Wuji has not dared to do anything.
Appeared in front of Li Yuan.
When he reaches the position of Changsun Wuji, there are not many people who can make him feel afraid. Looking at the world, there are only three people: Li Shimin, Li Yuan, and Queen Changsun. What happened today concerns Li Shimin and Li Yuan, and if
It would be a big trouble for Queen Changsun to know that the servants in his palace ordered the Ministry of Industry to engage in favoritism. Changsun Wuji was afraid of these three people. This incident affected all three people. How could he not panic in his heart? Now the smartest
The way to do it is to do what you are doing now, decisively admit your mistakes, act like you are apologizing, and retreat into progress, so that you can resolve the situation invisible.
After listening to Li Shimin's complaints and complaints, Changsun Wuji left the East Palace. As for the punishment, it was naturally eliminated. Li Shimin simply didn't mention it. But the anger in Changsun Wuji's heart did not go away. When he returned home, he
He didn't even see Manager Zhang, and asked the steward to drive Manager Zhang back to Luoyang to guard the tomb. As for the two principals, Wang and Qian, they just left. Their fate was not at all considered by Changsun Wuji.
After dealing with all these people, Changsun Wuji was still holding his breath. He was holding his breath because he was passive from the beginning to the end of this matter. First, the family manager concealed the report, and the information was incomplete, so he lost the opportunity. Secondly, this kid Li Mu,
You are also a bit cunning. If you want to build a high-rise building for the Supreme Emperor, do you need these seventy craftsmen like me? Wouldn't you be able to work without these seventy craftsmen? You are obviously trying to take advantage of the situation to establish your authority. This is a little trick.
, but it couldn’t be hidden from Changsun Wuji’s eyes. But at this moment, he really couldn’t do anything about Li Mu, because Li Mu had done nothing wrong!
This made Changsun Wuji feel like he was being fooled. He was not a narrow-minded person. From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, he had been subjected to many calculations by the government and the public, and he was already used to it. If he suffered a loss here, he could make up for it there.
That's right, he won't take it to heart, but this time is different. Li Mu is not Li Ji. Changsun Wuji can accept it if he is tricked by Li Ji, but he cannot accept it if he is tricked by Li Mu. A young boy, he...
…
"Master..."
Just when Changsun Wuji was feeling furious, a servant came closer. Changsun Wuji glared at him, making the servant who came to report the news tremble in fright.
"What's up!"
"Marquis Zhulu prepared gifts and came to the door, saying that he wanted to pay homage to the Lord."
"oh?"
Changsun Wuji was quite surprised. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Accept the gift, please wait in Zhuluhou's study."
"promise."
The servant took the order and went out. Changsun Wuji frowned and thought deeply. Although he was angry when Li Mu did these things, he was not surprised. When everyone is young and energetic, there is a saying that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
It is reasonable for the Emperor to do things by taking advantage of the situation to establish his authority. But after doing these things, he dared to come to the door to ask for an audience. This is not something that a young and energetic person can do. Li Ji's words came to Changsun Wuji's mind.
