Man Tanghong

Chapter 483
When Li Yuanji returned to Jiudao Palace, it happened to be lunch time at noon.

Yang Miaoyan ordered the cook to cook a large table of sumptuous food and wine.

After Li Yuanji washed up briefly, he brought the whole family to eat.

at the same time.

Feng Lun, who was sent to Tai Hospital by Qianniu Beishen and Beishen, woke up.

The first time Feng Lun opened his eyes, what he saw was not his little lord Li Shimin, but the big lord Li Yuan.

Li Yuan just sat quietly on the head of his bed with a gloomy expression.

"Holy... saint?"

Feng Lun didn't seem to expect Li Yuan to appear, his face was full of astonishment, but there was no sign of astonishment in his eyes.

Li Yuan didn't care about Feng Lun's reaction, and asked coldly: "What's the meaning of the memorial you secretly gave me a few days ago?"

Feng Lun hurriedly got up, got out of bed, saluted Li Yuan respectfully, and said with a solemn expression: "Sage, the crown prince is related to the country and cannot be abolished easily."

Li Yuan stared at Feng Lun coldly and said, "That's not what you said in the court today."

Feng Lun didn't hide it either, and said calmly: "I am the Sima of Tiance Mansion, so I naturally have to speak to His Highness King Qin in the court hall."

Li Yuan snorted coldly and said, "So, it doesn't matter if you're under the court?"

Feng Lun said without hesitation: "That's not..."

Li Yuan stared and asked, "What is that?"

Feng Lun said solemnly: "Under the court, I can say a few words of my heart to the saint."

Li Yuan stared at Feng Lun and did not speak again.

Feng Lun cupped his hands and said slowly: "Saint, the crown prince's position is related to the foundation of the country, and it is also related to whether the throne of our Tang Dynasty can be passed on in an orderly manner.

Although His Royal Highness King Qin is an unprecedented master, he is not the eldest son of a saint after all.

If the sage abolished the crown prince because of a suspicious case, he would make His Royal Highness King Qin the crown prince.

Then when the throne of the Tang Dynasty is changed in the future, many similar things will inevitably happen. "

Li Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, he stared straight at Feng Lun and asked, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Feng Lun said without fear: "Of course I know what I'm talking about. I just don't want to see many similar things happen after the Tang Dynasty. That's why I dare to say a few words of truth in front of the saint."

Li Yuan stared at Feng Lun as if he didn't hear what Feng Lun was saying, and said in a deep voice, "You are implying that Li Jiancheng, that bastard, was framed by someone!!"

Feng Xuan said seriously: "Li Gong and Pei Gong have been saying that the case of His Royal Highness is full of doubts, and since there are doubts, it is very likely that His Highness was wronged.

Why didn't the sage give His Royal Highness a chance to investigate this case again, and why didn't he give His Royal Highness a chance to prove his innocence? "

Li Yuan roared angrily: "How can there be any mistakes in the case I personally tried?"

Feng Lun said disapprovingly: "The sage is sometimes deceived by others, just like the Xinping county magistrate's corruption case before, all the evidence points to the corruption of the Xinping county magistrate, and the sage also sentenced the Xinping county magistrate to Ling Chi, but in the end The result of the re-examination was that the doctor of the Ministry of Minbu was playing tricks on it, and the county magistrate of Xinping was just a scapegoat. The saint also exiled the family of the doctor of the Ministry of Minbu and exiled the other two families.

It can be seen from this that what the sage personally found out may not necessarily be the truth.

Therefore, I hope that the sage can re-investigate the case of His Royal Highness, and it is best to hand it over to someone the sage can trust. "

Li Yuan suddenly stood up and shouted: "A trustworthy person? Who is a trustworthy person, Li Jiancheng?"

Feng Lun said solemnly: "Naturally, he is someone the saint can trust."

Li Yuan stared closely at Feng Lun and said, "Then if I tell you that this case was investigated by my most trusted people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what would you say?"

Feng Lun bowed respectfully to Li Yuan and said, "Then please ask the sage to check again."

Li Yuan shouted: "What if I don't investigate?"

Feng Lun hurriedly said: "Don't you have any doubts in the saint's heart? Don't you think that the investigation of this case went too smoothly? Don't you think that everything has been prepared in advance?"

Li Yuan's breathing gradually became heavy, he stared at Feng Lun without saying a word.

Feng Lun continued: "Why did the sage promise His Highness King Qin three times to be the crown prince, and then break the promise three times? Does the sage really hope that His Highness King Qin will become the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty and take over your position?"

Li Yuan's breathing became more rapid, and he stared at Feng Lun even harder.

Feng Lun said seriously: "Although I don't know what mistakes His Highness the Crown Prince made, I know that compared with the mistakes His Highness the Crown Prince made, the future of the Tang Dynasty is more important, and the orderly succession of the throne of the Tang Dynasty is more important. .”

"enough!"

Li Yuan growled.

Feng Lun gritted his teeth and continued: "If the sage doesn't want the tragedy in the Sui Palace to reappear in our Tang Dynasty, then he should give His Royal Highness a clean slate and ensure that the throne of our Tang Dynasty can be passed on in an orderly manner."

Feng Lun's words were quite blatant, he almost told Li Yuan clearly that the truth is not important at all, the orderly succession of the throne of the Tang Dynasty is the most important thing.

If Li Yuan hoped that the throne of the Tang Dynasty could be passed on in an orderly manner, he could completely verify Li Jiancheng's innocence through re-verification, regardless of whether Li Jiancheng was wrong or not.

"I said! Enough! Didn't you hear?!"

Li Yuan suddenly shouted at Feng Lun like an angry lion.

Feng Lun bowed to Li Yuan without any fear: "I risked my relationship to say this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. If the sage thinks that what I said is wrong, I can deal with it arbitrarily. I will never complain. "

Li Yuan showed a ferocious look, and approached Feng Lun two steps, but in the end he didn't do anything to Feng Lun, and didn't say anything, just shook his sleeves fiercely in front of Feng Lun, and left the room angrily. Inside.

"call……"

After Li Yuan left, Feng Lun let out a sigh of relief.

He knew what he said about Li Yuan's heart, so even if Li Yuan was stimulated by him to kill, he didn't do anything to him.

He also knew that Li Yuan was a qualified patriarch and patriarch, and knew how to choose when faced with such a problem.

He passed out in the Tai Chi Hall today just to wait for Li Yuan to come to him on his own initiative, and then to say this to Li Yuan.

If Li Yuan didn't come to him, he would find a way to come to him and tell Li Yuan what he said.

As for why he secretly helped Li Jiancheng as the Sima of Tiance Mansion, it was naturally related to his experience and opinions.

When he first attached himself to Datang, the person he most wanted to follow was Li Jiancheng, and the person he most wanted to assist was also Li Jiancheng.

Because Li Jiancheng is the eldest son, and he is not that bad, he thinks that, if there is no accident, Li Jiancheng will definitely ascend to the throne of God.

But the sky didn't follow people's wishes, Li Yuan didn't assign him as an official under Li Jiancheng, but assigned him under Li Shimin.

Although after he came to Li Shimin's subordinates, he saw what it means to be a god-given master and what a god-given talent is, but he still has Li Jiancheng in his heart.

Not for anything else, just because Li Jiancheng is the eldest son.

In fact, he is in the same category as Li Gang, Pei Ju and others, and firmly supports the primogeniture system.

The eldest son inheritance system can not only ensure that the throne can be passed on in an orderly manner, but also ensure that he and his descendants can rest on his credit book for many years.

This seems to be contrary to the words of "one emperor, one courtier", but it is true.

Because as long as the throne is inherited in a bloodless way, then the credit for supporting the emperor can also be inherited in a continuous line.

If the descendants of later generations strive for success, even the official rank and power can be passed down in one continuous line.

In the end, a small family can become an aristocratic family based in a state, a region, or even a dynasty.

And when a family becomes an aristocratic family that can influence a dynasty, it can pass on for many years and be rich for many years. Even in the face of dynasty change, it can make many choices, just like the old king Xie.

Although it is very difficult to develop a small family into an aristocratic family, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as difficult as reaching the sky, and it may even die halfway, but compared to the bloody succession of the throne, constantly betting on the fate of the whole family and the whole clan It is obviously safer to make choices with life, and to make choices in the bloodless succession of the throne.

After Li Yuan got out of the imperial hospital, his heart seemed to be a mess, with endless anger surging up in his chest, but he couldn't vent it, and he didn't know who to vent it with.

He originally wanted to go and see Li Gang and Pei Ju, and ask why Li Gang and Pei Ju did not hesitate to gamble on their names, but also to protect Li Jiancheng.

But now I don't think so.

He returned to the Ganlu Hall sullenly, locked himself in the hall alone, and vented his anger in various silent ways.

When he was almost done venting his anger, looking at the empty Ganlu Hall, he suddenly wanted to talk to someone, to talk to someone.

So he immediately thought of Pei Ji, and immediately ordered someone to summon Pei Ji to the Ganlu Hall to have an audience.

When the visitor who conveyed Li Yuan's oral instructions arrived at Pei Ji's mansion, Pei Ji had just attended Li Shimin's banquet and had received countless benefits from Li Shimin.

Seeing Pei Ji, Li Yuan seemed to be seeing a relative, and under Pei Ji's flattery, he poured bitter water on Pei Ji.

In order not to betray Feng Lun, Li Yuanyin removed Feng Lun's name and told Pei Ji what Feng Lun had said to him.

After hearing this, Pei Ji was stunned for a long time, and then urged by Li Yuan, he gave Li Yuan a sentence that was completely different from the attitude of the court, "Since you have been shaken in your heart, why should you investigate again? If His Royal Highness is really Those who have been wronged can just return His Highness the Crown Prince's innocence, and if His Highness the Crown Prince was not wronged, then the result of the investigation will be the same."

Speaking of this, Pei Ji said with a serious face: "Although I don't know who said these words to you, it is indeed the words of a veteran who seeks the country."

Li Yuan sat paralyzed on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about checking again, what I care about is checking again, and the result is still the same!"

Pei Ji said thoughtfully: "What you care about is not the result, what you care about is if the result is the same, do you want to let the Crown Prince down?"

Pei Ji could see clearly that what Li Yuan cared about was not the result of another check, but whether to let Li Jiancheng go if the result was the same.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be entangled in this issue.

After all, Li Yuan has already made a decision on how to deal with Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan has also accepted the fact that Li Jiancheng is a 'criminal'.

If they check again, the result is the same, and the decision is the same, Li Yuan doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth, with a gloomy face, and did not speak.

Pei Ji knew that Li Yuan was acquiescing to his words, and immediately said: "You should have listened to the words of the person who advised you, that's why it's hard to make a decision, right?"
