Eunuch Gao ushered the people into the Tai Chi Hall and quietly left, thinking to himself that he was afraid that the new porcelain vase that had been replaced last night would suffer again.
Sure enough, before he could close the palace door, the sound of broken porcelain could be heard in the palace. Eunuch Gao showed a distressed look. These are all fine tribute porcelain. If you drop a pair, you will lose a pair. Wei Zheng
Wei Zheng, you are really trashing things!
Eunuch Gao turned around and rested against the palace door. He could hear the sounds in the room very clearly.
"Your Majesty, the country has no two masters. It is extremely inappropriate for two saints to come to court today. Since Your Majesty has ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor should not go to the Liangyi Palace, let alone issue an order to protect people. Your Majesty, for the sake of the integrity of the country, please ask Your Majesty
Don't be disturbed by the Supreme Emperor, and immediately issue an order to kill Li Mu!"
Eunuch Gao sighed, this Wei Zheng really had no eyesight at all. Suddenly he saw his adopted son, Eunuch Chen, looking down the steps, and raised his hand to call him over.
"Wei Zheng! Didn't you hear what my father said? He asked me if the sword of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty was to kill a filial son! What does this mean? Don't tell me that you don't know! If I kill Li Mu, what will happen?
I have become an unfilial person! Do you want me to be an unfilial king? Wei Zheng, what are you thinking about! Do you want me to be infamous?!"
When young Eunuch Chen came to Eunuch Gao, Eunuch Gao asked, "What are you doing here? But the Emperor ordered you to come?"
"Yes." Young Eunuch Chen lowered his voice and whispered: "Godfather, the Emperor is worried, so let me hear the result."
The quarrel in the palace continued.
"Your Majesty! I believe that things have to be prioritized. The two saints are coming to court, and the foundation of the country is shaken. If your Majesty handles it in accordance with the wishes of the Supreme Emperor, and if the news spreads, who should be in charge in the world! Your Majesty, it is no longer Li Mu's
It is a matter of life and death, but Your Majesty..."
"Shut up!" Li Shimin roared angrily: "It's not all you who caused the trouble! Wouldn't it be better for you to be me? Didn't you see that I also knelt down in front of my father? What do you want from me? Do you want to?
Am I disobeying my father? He is my father, and he passed this world on to me! Don’t you understand this? Or do you have other thoughts?!"
This sentence is a bit heartbreaking. In fact, everyone knows that Li Shimin killed his brothers and took over the world, but he can't say that. Li Shimin wants to be a wise king. The most basic point of a wise king is that the throne must come from the right way.
Therefore, Li Shimin has always emphasized that during the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji wanted to kill him, and he had no choice but to fight back. Even the lives of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were "hit by stray arrows." He asked the imperial doctor to treat them, but they died.
.And he killed his brother's heirs because he had no choice but to "obey the officials who remonstrated and refused three times."
When he ascended the throne and became the emperor, he first made the crown prince and then enthroned the throne. Although everyone in the world knew what was going on, in Li Shimin's case, his origin of the throne was very righteous and very righteous. He had already killed
If you have a brother, you must be a filial son. If you continue to bear the reputation of being unfilial, when Li Yuan dies in the future, even if he dies, he will be slandered as a parricide by someone who wants to kill his brother.
How should future generations judge a person whose father abdicated the throne and finally killed his father when writing history?
Li Shimin glared at Wei Zheng, he was really murderous now. If Wei Zheng still dared to contradict him, he had to doubt Wei Zheng's intentions. He stood up for the Shandong gentry, Li Shimin could tolerate him, but if he still missed his old master Li Jiancheng in his heart
, No matter what kind of bad reputation Li Shimin carries, he must be killed first!
Wei Zheng knew Li Shimin's thoughts well. He didn't react immediately when he was in Liangyi Palace, but on the way to Taiji Palace, he already understood. He just pretended not to understand just to provoke and try to fish in troubled waters. Now
It seems that this provocation will not work. He is really unwilling to let Li Mu go like this.
Wei Zheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, I dare not criticize the Supreme Emperor, and I have never had the slightest doubt about His Majesty's filial piety. My words have no other meaning. They are just for Your Majesty's consideration. Now there are twenty great scholars outside the gate of the imperial city.
There are hundreds of students kneeling there, if Your Majesty doesn’t give an explanation, how can you convince the people of the world?"
"I don't care. I have already promised my father that Li Mu cannot be killed. Apart from that, we can negotiate any requests we have!"
Eunuch Gao sighed. When Li Shimin was still a prince, Eunuch Gao served Li Shimin. More than ten years have passed. What Li Yuan said in Liangyi Palace today made Eunuch Gao feel the same. Li Shimin when he was the king of Qin
, so high-spirited, so decisive in killing, now that he has ascended the throne as the emperor, he always wants to be a wise king, but he has restrained himself. If it were back then, a guy like Wei Zheng would have been chopped down seven or eight times...
…
At this moment, a young eunuch hurried over, holding a piece of paper in his hand. When young Eunuch Chen saw it, he naturally went over to ask first and chatted with the young eunuch.
He grabbed it, looked at it twice, looked happy, and hurried to Eunuch Gao.
"Daddy, look."
"What is this?" Eunuch Gao took it and found that it was a piece of Datang Daily. The date was today. Then he looked at the content on the front page. He was overjoyed and asked, "Has it spread throughout the city now?"
"Yes!" Young Eunuch Chen called the little eunuch who delivered the message over. The little eunuch had already taken advantage of the two of them to talk and took a breath. He saluted Eunuch Gao and said, "Old Ancestor, please ask your servant to help you.
Keeping watch, the slave didn't even dare to blink and kept watching. At first, there were just a few people watching in twos and threes, but then more and more people came. The old man named Lu said bad things about Zhuluhou, which was very unpleasant.
The servants couldn't stand listening anymore. But the common people believed it and they all scolded Zhuluhou."
There was still a quarrel in the palace, and Eunuch Gao said anxiously: "I know all this, so I'll pick out the important ones!"
"!" The little eunuch didn't dare to neglect, and quickly sped up his speech, saying: "Not half an hour later, another group of people came. They looked like ruffians. These people all brought Datang Daily.
, and they didn’t ask for money, they gave it to everyone they met. Some of the illiterate people were given newspapers to read. Only then did the people know that the deceased Zhao Yuanlang was killed by Zhuluhou because he scolded Zhuluhou’s mother.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are all filial people. When they heard what happened, they turned around and accused the old man named Lu."
"and after?"
"Then there was a quarrel between the two sides. There were some sharp-tongued women on the common side. The old man named Lu couldn't stand up to them, so he got angry and called them untouchables. Who knew that this would arouse public anger?
Whoever made the move first, the two sides got into a fight. Those students really couldn't fight, and there were only a few of them, so they were beaten until they were crying for their fathers and mothers."
"Didn't our family send a team of Jinwu Guards over? The Jinwu Guards didn't care?"
"Oh, what the hell, you've made everyone angry. You just ordered them to be separated, but they all started fighting. They are all common people of the Tang Dynasty. Which one is suitable for the Jinwu Guards? And the old man named Lu spoke too unpleasantly.
After a while, Jin Wuwei had not yet decided to take care of it. The old man greeted him as if he was ordering his servants. I guess the military masters were also angry. Seeing the people rushing towards them, they all moved away secretly.
.”
"Ouch..." Eunuch Gao clicked his tongue and sighed: "The two old men in the lead must be in their sixties. After receiving this beating, I don't know if they were killed or not."
"Not beaten to death, not beaten to death!" the little eunuch said quickly: "When the fighting first started, I was slapped a few times by those women, and then the young students tried their best to protect them, but
When the slaves came, they seemed to be unable to resist them. I don’t know what they are like now."
"Oh, it's so miserable." Eunuch Gao sighed repeatedly, but had no intention of reporting it. He ordered the young eunuch: "Go, keep an eye on it, and you will have your share of the reward. Come to our house to collect it in the evening."
"Thank you, ancestor!" the little eunuch said happily.
Young Eunuch Chen looked at Eunuch Gao and said with a smile: "Godfather, where did you get the reward? You won't even give your son a share."
Eunuch Gao glanced at him and said, "Do you still need me to give you your share? Don't think that your godfather is confused. Do you think I don't know how the Emperor came today?"
"Ouch... I really can't hide it from you, old man." Little Eunuch Chen leaned close to Eunuch Gao's ear and asked in a low voice: "Godfather, my son is also worried about this. You said this, shall we tell His Majesty?"
Eunuch Gao became solemn and said, "If you miss, just say so."
"Okay, my son understands."
The two separated and returned to their usual selves.
Looking at the sun, it was about half past the time when the incense stick was gone. Eunuch Gao crumpled the Datang Daily in his hand, took two steps back, suddenly jumped forward, and rolled in.
Inside the palace.
Little Eunuch Chen looked on, admiring in his heart, he is indeed the chief steward. At this age, he is still so familiar with this job, and there is no trace of acting at all.
When Li Shimin saw Eunuch Gao crawling in, his heart skipped a beat. He knew something had happened and quickly asked, "What's going on? Why are you so flustered?"
Eunuch Gao seemed to be out of breath. He opened his mouth and could not speak, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng was really happy and said: "Your Majesty, something must have happened at the gate of the imperial city! Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly!"
"
Li Shimin hurriedly walked out from behind the case, came to Eunuch Gao, and said, "Hurry up and tell me what happened!"
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao finally managed to catch his breath. He handed over the Datang Daily with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Shandong scholar Louvre slandered Zhuluhou. After the common people learned the truth, they argued with him and argued with him.
A while ago, the Louvre called the people untouchables, which aroused public outrage, and now a fight has begun. I learned the news and went to see it, the scene was chaotic, and both sides were injured..."
Wei Zheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment and said: "The people are gathering more and more. After all, there are only a few people like the Confucian scholar. The old slave has been delayed for a while when he came back to report the news. Now I'm afraid... alas!"
