bastard seizes tang

Chapter 211
The officials of the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the vision of the white rainbow penetrating the sun to remonstrate Li Shimin, causing Li Ke to be released.

On the surface, it seemed that the ministers had won this battle, but Li Shimin would not hold back.

After the court meeting, Li Shimin not only issued a special decree, making an exception to give Li Ke the residence of Linjiang Palace, Jiangdu Li Palace, as Li Ke's Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Li Ke's [-] households in the city as a comfort.

But that's not all. The so-called Linjiang Palace and Shiyi are just extraneous wealth, and Li Keben is not lacking. Li Shimin's move that really surprised the officials was to designate Li Ke as the ambassador of Huainan Road, and hold the festival!

Li Ke was originally the governor of Yangzhou. In addition to Yangzhou, he also supervised the military affairs of sixteen prefectures including Chang, Hai, Run, Chu, Shu, Lu, Hao, Shou, She, Su, Hangzhou, Xuan, Dongmu, and Nanhe. In addition, he was named the ambassador of Huainan Road, who patrolled all things in Huainan Road on behalf of the sky, took charge of the good and evil of the department, gave the outline, and patrolled the provinces of Huainan.

In this way, half of the southeast will be under Li Ke's wings, and the officials in the southeast, the governor at the top, and the people down to the people will all enjoy the power of his thunder, like looking up to the gods.

But this is not all, what is really remarkable is the word "holding festivals"!
The word "Chi Jie" seems ordinary, but it is a simple name added after the official position, but all the ministers in the court know that these two words are the most rare.

In Datangzhou County, there were great governors, and there were also ambassadors who dismissed Zhizhi, but since Li Shimin came to the throne, no major governor has ever been in charge of the title of "Jie Ji".

There are three grades of festival ministers. The top grade envoys hold festivals, and they can kill traitors and eradicate evil, and only kill subordinates below the fifth rank; , Zhu Liujun.

The Tang Dynasty has always been very strict about bestowing festivals. At the beginning of Li Jing's Northern Expedition to the Turks, which was such a big event, he didn't give festivals.

This is almost telling the officials that Li Ke is his beloved son. Although he is currently released from Beijing, he is still not to be taken lightly by the officials of the foreign court.

It can be imagined that when Li Ke came to Yangzhou holding a Jie axe and adding two posts, who would dare to beat him up in the official circles of Yangzhou?Li Shimin's love for Li Kezhi can be seen in general.

And this almost supreme power in Huainan is actually only in the hands of Li Ke, and Li Ke is only fifteen years old.

The governor of Yangzhou, the ambassador of Huainan Road, and even bestowed festivals. If this kind of favor is added to Li Jing, Changsun Wuji and other veterans who have made great contributions to the founding of the country, it is barely reasonable, but now Li Ke is only fifteen years old. When he was young and full of vigor, he held such great power, let alone an official of Yangzhou Road, even the princes in the court felt uneasy.

All the ministers in the court wrote letters one after another, asking Li Shimin to take back the order of bestowing festivals on the grounds that the king of Chu was young and difficult to control, but Li Shimin beat him back one by one, and Li Shimin's reason was very simple. Government affairs, so it has to be released.Since he can be released as an official, why not give festivals?
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the whole court fell silent.

Yesterday they announced that Li Ke was an adult, and they were the ones who asked to let it go. Now they say that Li Ke is young, and it is difficult to distinguish the seriousness. They are also the ones who asked to take back the Jieyue. foot?

Although Li Shimin is an enlightened king who does not sin with words, it does not mean that Li Shimin has no temper. His tolerance is unlimited.

That day, when the courtiers remonstrated, Li Shimin was already angry, but it was the usual practice for the prince to be released, and Li Ke took the initiative to ask for orders, so Li Shimin backed down a little.

But now Li Shimin has given in, and giving the prince a festival is not against the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If they are making progress and forcing Li Shimin to withdraw the decree, Li Shimin doesn't mind using a few lives to maintain his imperial authority.

One must know that when Li Shimin is determined to rule the world and ascend to the throne, the lives of people under his feet are unknown, and a few more will not hurt.

Since it is not feasible to ask the emperor to withdraw his order, the only way is to count on Li Ke to disobey his order.

Yankangfang, Chu Wangfu, afternoon.

Li Ke was enjoying the scenery and drinking tea in the garden in the inner courtyard of the palace. Looking at the spring scenery in the garden, he should have been in a happy mood, but the letters handed in from outside the door made Li Ke quite annoyed.

The content of the letter is nothing more than to advise Li Kedang to act cautiously, maintain a humble heart, and return the Jie Yue given by Li Shimin, so as not to make a big mistake and lose the name of a virtuous king.

Li Ke looked at the letters handed into the mansion from outside the door, he was angry, but also found it ridiculous, and without exception, they all crumpled up and burned them.

"Your Highness, outside the door." Li Ke had just thrown away the letter that came in, and another door came to Li Ke's side, and hurriedly said to Li Ke.

Seeing this, Li Ke thought it was someone who came to persuade him with a letter. As soon as the door opened, Li Ke said displeasedly: "Didn't this king say it? These letters can be put aside, and I will talk about it when the king is free. Why bother this Wang Yaxing again."

Seeing that Li Ke seemed to be angry, the disciples hurriedly explained: "It's not a letter that entered the government, but Duke Yu asked to see him, and the villain came here to inform."

"Wen Xiang?"

Li Ke listened to what the doorman said, only then did he realize that it was Wen Yanbo who came to the mansion, he hurriedly said: "Please come in, Prime Minister Wen."

"No." Menzi replied, and went down to lead the people.

"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in chaos because of His Highness's affairs, but His Highness is here to enjoy the scenery. It's really fun." Wen Yanbo said as soon as he entered the inner courtyard and saw Li Ke enjoying the scenery.

Li Ke stepped forward to meet Wen Yanbo, and said to Wen Yanbo: "I was born in Chang'an, and I have special feelings for every plant and tree in Chang'an City. I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing this time. Now, while there is still some time, I want to take a second look."

Hearing this, Wen Yanbo sighed, bowed his hands to Li Ke and said: "Yesterday in the hall, the veteran failed to defend His Highness, and I hope His Highness will forgive me."

Li Ke looked at the guilty look on Wen Yanbo's face, helped Wen Yanbo up, and said with a smile: "Nothing in the hall can be stopped by Prime Minister Wen, and besides, it is the imperial rule for the prince to be released as an adult, how could Li Ke not know , How could he transfer the responsibility to Prime Minister Wen?"

On that day in the main hall, the ministers advised Li Ke to be released to Yangzhou. Wen Yanbo intended to speak out to help, but the words of the ministers were in accordance with the law. Even though Wen Yanbo wanted to help Li Ke with a few words, he could not There is no way to enter.

Wen Yanbo said: "Your Highness saved the life of the old minister, but the old minister failed to help His Highness. I am really ashamed."

Li Ke waved his hands and said, "The so-called 'Green sparrows float on lutan osmanthus boats, and purple monkeys jump on golden saddles under the fruits. , Prime Minister Wen has no need to blame himself."

Before Wen Yanbo entered the mansion, he was worried about Li Ke's reluctance to leave Beijing, so he became angry and resentful. Now that he saw Li Ke's appearance with his own eyes, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him, so he was relieved.

Wen Yanbo said: "Since His Highness has this intention, the old minister can rest assured."

Li Ke looked at Wen Yanbo and asked, "I have worked hard for Mr. Wen, but I don't know why Mr. Wen is here?"

Wen Yanbo heard the words, and suddenly said: "The old minister came here for His Highness's festival."
