Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 590 Du Ruhui's Difficulties
In the 11th year of Zhenguan, on the ninth day of December, Li Chengqian looked at the city of Chang'an, which was close at hand, and Li Chengqian felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Eight thousand miles of roads, clouds and moons, from the deployment of the Western Expedition in the tenth year of Zhenguan to the time he came back here, it has been a long time. years.Datang's situation in the southwest has turned from defense to offense, which is a good thing for the country and the people, but how many of those sons who followed him to the war could not see this scene.

The more years he has led the army and the more wars he has experienced, the more Li Chengqian feels that it is not easy to govern a big country. The power of the Tang Dynasty is achieved by the soldiers with their own flesh and blood.But this beautiful river and mountain created a fertile ground for corrupt officials like Han Kui and others to corrupt the law. Whenever he thought of the gold and silver treasures copied from the homes of these criminals, Li Chengqian hated his teeth itching.Here and there is money, and this is clearly the flesh and blood money of the soldiers.

He ordered Dou Kuan to hand over the accompanying criminals to the Ministry of Punishment, and then brought Li Hui to the Ministry of War. He puts the country first and then the family. As the prince of the country, he should lead by example and abide by the country's laws and regulations, and set an example for his officials so that they all understand No matter how great the credit is, it cannot exceed the law.

This is not the first time for Li Chengqian to deliver military talismans. Of course, he is not the first prince to come here. I have done this ceremony.

Regardless of the turmoil caused by the supreme position among the royal families, it is a matter of victory and defeat. In the war during the Wude period, if the clan children were not the commanders, how could such a large territory be conquered? How about setting this beautiful country?

Why in history, there will be so many disasters in the country after Zhenguan? It’s not because the clan, as the leader of the world, can’t take the lead in doing business for the country and the people, so that the courtiers feel that the affairs of the country are the affairs of the Li family. On the dam as well.

The meaning of the emperor's reuse of clan generals in Beiya and the appointment of himself to lead the army is just like this. Who cares if he doesn't care about his own country.Although the emperor's thoughts were somewhat one-sided, it had to be said that this was a good way to consolidate the imperial power, so as to avoid disasters when the imperial power was handed over in the future.

In the lobby of the Ministry of War, Du Ruhui knelt on the main seat, and on both sides stood the officials of the Ministry of War. Li Chengqian knelt and sat in the hall, cupping his hands and said: "The Chief of the Jiangyuan Road Marching - Li Chengqian returned to the court after he conquered Tubo in the west. The soldier talisman and the seal of the commander awarded." After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian took the plate containing the soldier talisman and the commander's seal from Li Hui.

"Quite", after Du Ruhui replied according to the etiquette, an official quickly took it from the prince, and the ceremony of handing over the military power was considered to be over.Although this is an extremely simple etiquette, it symbolizes the emperor's absolute leadership over the army.

Speaking of this, it must also be said that Li Chengqian's cheap grandfather-Li Yuan, Wu Dechu, the East Palace, the Qin Palace, and the Qi Palace all commanded a large number of troops, and only the forbidden army in the palace was directly under the emperor's control. Li Yuan, who suddenly became the emperor, sighed in Suye.

Although the commanders are all his sons, as a foreign relative, Li Yuan, who has seen the turmoil in the palace, has begun to not trust his son so much. Fast, rare in ancient and modern times, this makes me both happy and worried, wealth comes quickly, then goes away quickly.

After seeing Li Yuan's anxiety, Pei Ji, who was the emperor's number one confidant at the time, came up with a good idea, using the family relationship between father and son and the state's laws as an excuse.He lobbied among the East Palace, the Qin Palace, and the Qi Palace, and finally lured Li Yuanji, who wanted to flatter him, to take the initiative to hand over the military power.

With him as a loyal minister and filial son in front of him, the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion seemed a little awkward. Li Yuan rewarded Li Yuanji with a small banquet for three days and a big banquet for five days, and boasted in front of people that Sanhu was the most important person in my Li family. A good child raises a son to look after his old age, but he has been sick for a long time and has no filial son, so I will have to point at him when I get old in the future.

After Li Yuan's words came out, the two people in the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion were heartbroken. The rebellious kings have not yet settled down, the world has not yet been settled, and military power is their wealth and life. Letting them hand it over is no different from handing over their lives.But Li Yuan's words represented the limelight of the imperial court, and Pei Ji sent messages back and forth, if they still want to eat An Sheng meal, they have to follow.

Therefore, Li Yuan paid more attention to Pei Ji who had made great contributions, and it is said that he even rewarded several beautiful women who paid tribute to him.Li Yuan himself is a perverted evil spirit, if you can make him spit out the food in his mouth, you can see how satisfied Li Yuan is with the matter of taking over the military power.

Although Pei Ji's actions have the intention of provoking the father and son of the Tian family, from the perspective of the country, it is indeed a matter of contemporary times and benefits for the country.Military power is different from other things. It is related to the stability of the country. Even though it is a small way, it has formed a tight military system, which left Du Ruhui a lot of heart after taking charge of military affairs.

This time when something happened to the Pei family, the reason why Du Ruhui ran around to suppress the incident was other than the holy will. First, he cared about Pei Renji and his son, and second, he wanted to pay Pei Ji together. Although he is gone, we still have to look at our favor. Can't let people go, the tea is cold, isn't it?

Hearing that Li Chengqian brought Pei Xingfang back again, Du Ruhui was the first and second, and it seemed that the turmoil was about to rise again.After handing Li Chengqian a cup of tea, he said with worry on his face: "Your Highness, you have created a problem for the old minister. It is not easy for the old minister to keep this person and matter. When you turn around, that grandma started to make a fuss." , no one can step down!"

Li Chengqian was a little puzzled, isn't it just a small romantic affair, is it necessary to use a country's prime minister Qiu Cheng like this?Seeing that Li Chengqian was puzzled, Du Ruhui told him the whole story.

Princess Linhai is a woman with a strong personality. What happened back then made the princess deeply ashamed, and the bond between husband and wife disappeared. Originally, the princess wanted to reconcile, but the emperor suppressed it because of the contribution of the Pei family to the Li family. , and this pressure has lasted for so many years.

Moreover, the emperor, the eldest uncle, once beat lawyer Pei overtly and secretly, telling him to talk softly to the princess. After all, we are a family, so why make such an embarrassing scene!

But the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. This guy and his father Pei Ji are of the same virtue. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a hungry ghost. Now he wants to marry a bitch and come back. Isn't this slapping Princess Linhai in the face?
That's why he made a plan to embarrass the young and old of the Pei family to vent his anger on himself, and then used this as an excuse to ask the emperor to approve his request for reconciliation.

It's true that Pei Xingfang was drugged, but if the crown prince helps to turn the case over, Princess Linhai will definitely bear the notoriety of murdering her husband, and according to her temper, she might not hang herself.Du Ruhui just saved him as a county magistrate to compensate him, but the Prince's disturbance was all for nothing. .
