"Why don't you let someone rescue you?" Wei Zheng's eyes were split with tears. He knew very well how much fighting power the Shandong scholars and students had. If they were besieged by people several times their own, the consequences could be imagined. Thinking of the Louvre and Zheng Zheng
The two great scholars were already in their sixties, so Wei Zheng was really worried about their safety.
When Eunuch Gao heard this, he was a little unhappy. As a senior official, he had to serve the emperor for a moment. All the civil and military ministers in the court did not give him a little favor, even the uncle and uncle of the country.
At five o'clock, the emperor wanted to give him some money. There were many civil and military officials in the dynasty, but Wei Zheng was the only one who was ignorant of human feelings and never saw a penny from him.
A eunuch has no offspring, and most of the fun in life has been lost. Only money can comfort you. If you don't take care of it, who will do anything for you?
"Zheng Guogong, our family is just a eunuch. We can serve His Majesty. How dare we take care of other things? If we do, no one will report us and say that our eunuchs are involved in politics? Our family wants to live for two more years, but we can't.
Dare to stir up trouble."
"You!" How could Wei Zheng not know that Eunuch Gao was angrily criticizing someone? But now Shandong's great scholars and hundreds of students were in danger. He didn't want to waste time with arguments, so he hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, please send someone to stop the mob as soon as possible.
, If it is delayed any longer, I will worry about the safety of the great scholars in Shandong."
"That's not possible!" Eunuch Gao quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't seen it. It seems like there's been a war outside the imperial city. There's a fierce fight between the two sides. They're all common people. You're helping everyone to cause trouble.
It’s better to wait until they finish fighting.”
Wei Zheng said angrily: "How can those mobs compare with the great scholars from Shandong!"
"Wei Zheng!" Li Shimin said angrily: "Why can't we compare? The Shandong scholars you are talking about are nothing more than those old guys from the Louvre and Zheng Jing. Do they have official positions or titles? Since they don't have any,
Then they are all citizens, ordinary people! I love you so much that the palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are all flesh. How do you choose?"
"Ah!" Wei Zheng was so anxious that he bowed to the end: "Your Majesty, now is not the time for fighting. I am really worried that if we delay for a while, those mobs will hurt a few great scholars..."
"Wei Zheng, you talk about the people all day long, asking me to love the people like a son, I can hear the cocoon in my ears! Why have you become a mob now? You have to make it clear to me. If you don't make it clear,
I can't save you."
"His Majesty!"
"Hurry up and say it, we can't control it if we don't explain it clearly!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng's helpless look and felt very happy. He could now understand what Li Mu said about fighting with others, which is endless fun. It felt true, but the prerequisite was that he could fight.
You have to pass, otherwise you will be like Wei Zheng now, letting his opponent have endless fun and himself feeling depressed.
Wei Zheng looked at the three prime ministers for help. The three prime ministers looked away, and then looked at the six ministers. The six ministers also looked away. As for Li Ji and Tang Jian next to him, he did not waste that time. He knew
These two people hate him to the core and cannot possibly speak for him.
No one is stupid. The situation is now clear. There has been a big reversal. The public opinion that Wei Zheng relies on has reversed. Isn't it obvious which side he should stand on?
Li Shimin didn't care how anxious Wei Zheng was. Now that the initiative was in his hands, just delay. The longer it was delayed, the more those old bones would suffer. If two of them died, Li Shimin would only be happy. You know back then
When he came to the throne, he was often scolded by the great Confucian scholars led by Louvre and Zheng Jing. Now that they are suffering, Li Shimin feels the pleasure of successful revenge.
Li Shimin opened the Datang Daily in his spare time and praised: "This article... is really well written. It is interlocking and fascinating. Reading it is like listening to a story. Ah! I remembered, this is Li Mu Na
It's a 'novel' that I mentioned. Didn't I serialize two issues of "That Year in Xiangxiang when the Moon was Full" some time ago? The queen liked to read it, and I read it with her. It's really good, and this article is also well written. This signature
, Tang Guan? Tang?" Li Shimin called Tang Jian to his side, pointed at Tang Guan's signature and said: "Ai Qing, is this your youngest son?"
"He is my youngest son." Tang Jian said modestly: "Thanks to Li Mu's support, my youngest son is now walking in front of the emperor. I really don't know about this article. I think it was him who saw his brother being wronged and hurriedly took action.
At a glance, I saw several grammatical errors. Please see, Your Majesty, the word '嗟夫' should not be used here, but '嗟夫' should be used. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Well, the sighing husband is very good, but the woohu is not bad either. They are all good, all are good..."
Wei Zheng couldn't stand it any longer and finally gave up. He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty! I just need to give in. I... no longer insist on letting Zhuluhou die. Your Majesty, please save people quickly!"
"Okay!" Li Shimin put down the Datang Daily and said to Eunuch Gao: "High officials, pass on my will to save this person." Just as Eunuch Gao was about to leave, Li Shimin stopped him again, picked up the wolf brush, and wrote,
Soaked in ink, with a stroke of the pen, an imperial edict was completed in one fell swoop.
Li Shimin handed the decree to Wei Zheng and said: "Wei Aiqing, you need to go there personally to do this, so as not to worry you. Senior officials, remember my words, you must wait for Wei Aiqing to declare the decree before you can save people.
Don’t mess up the order.”
"promise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng took the imperial edict with both hands. He wanted to see what Li Shimin wrote, but this was the imperial edict. He could not read it before it was read out. Wei Zheng took two steps back, turned around and left the Tai Chi Hall, and left.
As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, he started running. The moment he arrived outside the gate of the imperial city, the Shandong scholars and students would have been beaten less. Poor Wei Zheng was not very active, so he ran from the Tai Chi Palace to the gate of the imperial city, although it was not too much.
It's far enough for him to drink a pot.
When he reached the place, he looked back and saw that Eunuch Gao was following behind with a team of Jinwu Guards on horseback. He was so angry that he almost jumped up. He said there was a horse, so why run? People are really evil. You can't do it even if you are all on the horse.
Do you want to tell me?
On purpose, absolutely on purpose!
Wei Zheng glared at Eunuch Gao, but Eunuch Gao disagreed. He was a eunuch, not in the same system as Wei Zheng. The Tang Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty. There was no word "eunuch" yet. No matter how powerful Wei Zheng was, he couldn't control it.
Let’s go to matters in the palace.
Eunuch Gao got off the horse. Although the screams could not be heard in his ears, he still smiled and said: "Zheng Guogong, hurry up and read the imperial edict and save the Shandong Confucian scholar and all the students. If you don't hurry up, our family will worry about them getting hurt."
Wei Zheng looked at the wailing students on the ground and cursed in his heart, are you blind, eunuch? You are already injured, okay?
Staring at Eunuch Gao hatefully, Wei Zheng took a deep breath, shouted, "Stop it! Your Majesty has a decree!"
The two groups of people who were 'fighting' had become red-eyed, turned a deaf ear and continued to fight. Wei Zheng watched helplessly as the two crazy women jumped on Zheng Jing's body, scratching and scratching him, and almost tore his clothes into pieces.
That’s it.
"Hurry up..."
Eunuch Gao came over and reminded: "Mr. Zheng, it's better to declare the imperial edict quickly. If you read out the edict, our family will be able to save people."
Wei Zheng hurriedly spread out the imperial edict and was about to read it out when he suddenly saw the content of the edict and was a little confused.
How could the majestic Emperor of the Tang Dynasty cheat!
Eunuch Gao had just helped Li Shimin polish the ink while he was writing. When he saw the content, he smiled and said: "Gong Zheng, read it out!"
"I'm going to find His Majesty!"
"Okay." Eunuch Gao, still smiling, got out of the way and said, "You're welcome."
"Lend me a horse!"
"This can't be done." Eunuch Gao said solemnly, "You don't seem to be qualified enough to ride horses in the imperial city."
"Then why are you all riding?!"
"We are on an errand under the emperor's orders, Duke Zheng, is there any problem with this?"
"You...you guys!" Wei Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. He had already been filled with anger and blood after running all this way, but when Eunuch Gao was so angry, he spat out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it far away. Now he
I couldn't even run back. I fell to the ground, looking at the chaos in front of me, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in my heart.
Wei Zheng spread out the imperial edict tremblingly, used up all his strength, and read: "The edict says: Today, the imperial censor Zhao Yuanlang was killed at the hands of Zhulu Marquis Li Mu. The reason has been found out. It was Zhao Yuanlang who insulted his mother first, and Li Mu was angry and killed him.
Later, I ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and I chased the deer marquis Li Mu. He killed people because of his filial piety, and his feelings were pitiful. Zhao Yuanlang's misfortunes came from his mouth, and he was actually to blame and suffered for himself. You are known as the great Confucian of Shandong, don't you understand the way of sage filial piety? To the emperor
The people crying and making noise outside the city gate are deceiving people, and their hearts should be punished. The people learned the truth and argued with you, but they were insulted and beaten by you. Don't you know that God's will is clear and public opinion is clear? As the emperor, I,
You should act in accordance with the will of the people. Today's farce is all caused by you. The responsibility should also be placed on you. Order, apologize in person, and compensate the injured people for their medical expenses. In addition, you have failed in your moral conduct and cannot be blamed again.
He is teaching in the library and is ordered to leave Chang'an within three days. Anyone who violates it will be punished! The edict is written from the right and the person in charge will implement it."
Hiding among the students, Louvre, who had not received many beatings, heard Wei Zheng read out such an edict, and couldn't help but glared over. Just as he was about to ask, he saw blood on the corners of Wei Zheng's lips, so he shook his head vigorously, knowing that there was a reason, and gritted his teeth.
He shouted: "Common people, I don't know the details and have wronged Zhulu Hou. Please give me another chance. I am here to apologize to you! Please show your kindness. The medical expenses can be collected from my house tomorrow. Keep your word.
, never repeat it!”
Several shrews stood up, pointed at the nose of the Louvre and cursed: "You bad old man! You are so bad! We don't believe what you say!"
Wei Zheng grabbed Eunuch Gao's robe and begged: "Eunuch Gao, at this point, do you still want to sit idly by and ignore me?"
"How can you not! Why did Zheng Guogong say that? Aren't we waiting for you to finish reading the imperial edict?" Eunuch Gao said, breaking away from Wei Zheng's hand and winking at the Jinwu guards behind him. The Jinwu guards stepped forward,
The common people also retreated, and there were people outside the crowd to support them. After a while, hundreds of people dispersed, and no one was left.
When Wei Zheng saw this, he immediately understood what was going on. There was another mouthful of blood, and he fainted on his back!
