A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 200

Winter, October.

The first day of the first lunar month.

When Wu Huaiyu saw Wei Zheng, he greeted him with a smile, but Wei Zheng turned his head angrily and ignored him, with a haggard and listless face.

"Yes!" Duan Lun, who was specially summoned to court today, said bitterly.He couldn't forgive Wei Zheng until now, the military supervisor did a good job and was ready to show his strength, but Wei Zheng was directly impeached, removed from office and seized the title.

"Duan Gong is going to the court today, he is going to restore his official rank."

"Who knows." Duan Lun said helplessly.

The new emperor confers an official title, but no one cares about him at home. It's hard to bear, "Erlang, I also want to practice Taoism recently. I heard that your master Xiaoyaozi founded the Longmen sect. You are also the head of the Longmen sect now, right?" , can you accept me as an apprentice?"

Huaiyu looked at him.

A consort captain in his thirties and the emperor's brother-in-law, even if he doesn't have a title, is not an ordinary person.

"Duan Gong is young and strong, how can he have the heart of Taoism?"

"I'm free." Duan Lun didn't hide it, "This person is bored when he's free, but I don't want to be like the king of Hejian, drinking, listening to songs, watching dances all day long and indulging in sex."

Huaiyu thought to himself, you do, but the princess must be willing to let you indulge in sex.

There are hundreds of kabuki in Li Xiaogong's mansion, it is really happy like a fairy.

"Why don't I accept you as a registered disciple on behalf of my master, teach you a set of Longmen heart methods, and then teach you the eight vajra skills and the eight long life skills, and you practice at home first?"

"Okay," Duan Lun replied, very excited.

People can't be too idle, especially young people. As a son-in-law, there is no condition to indulge in wine and sex, and there are restrictions everywhere if you want to do something else.

It's better to simply practice Taoism, which can be regarded as a gesture, a complete surrender to the emperor, and a silent cry.

The Shuo Dynasty was very grand, and all the officials in Beijing came.

Today's Shuo Dynasty was unexpected, the emperor actually took the initiative to mention Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

On the fourth day of June, Li Shimin asked Yuchi Gong to hold a bloody spear and asked Li Yuan to issue an edict, saying that Jiancheng Yuanji conspired to rebel, and please issue an order to punish him.

In fact, when he went to request the decree, both Jiancheng and Yuanji had already been killed, and Li Yuan's decree was only to reissue the order to determine the whole incident.

On the same day, Li Shimin also issued an edict in the name of Li Yuan, removing Jian Jiancheng and Yuanji from their affiliation, removing them from the royal family, demoting them to common people's treatment, and burying them hastily as common people after death.

Now that Li Shimin has succeeded to the throne, the Turks have also withdrawn their troops, and all the disturbances have been settled, and Li Shimin has also firmly secured the throne of emperor.

"Pursuing feudalism to become the king of Yin, Yuan Ji became the king of Hailing, and he was buried with rituals."

Li Shimin also asked the minister to discuss posthumous titles for the two.

The emperor restored the kingship to the two expelled brothers, obviously for the sake of posthumous names, and also to appease the former two's old tribe.

But from the title Xiwang he gave to Jiancheng, we can also see his thoughts, rest, calm things down.

Lu Kuan, Duke of Rui Guo, newly appointed Minister of Rites, please play when he is out of class.

"King Xi should be given the posthumous title Li!"

Not regretting the past is called cruelty, not thinking about resignation and accepting it is called cruelty, knowing the mistakes and not correcting is called cruelty.

Li is a bad posthumous posthumous title. For example, Liu Shi, the prince who was killed in the rebellion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had the posthumous title of Prince Li.In addition, after the Tumu Fortress Change in the Ming Dynasty, Jingtai, the younger brother of the Emperor Knocking on the Door, came to the throne. Before he died of illness, he was seized and mutinied. After his death, he also got a posthumous title of cruelty.

Lu Kuan's posthumous posthumous title is not well discussed.

Even Wu Huaiyu standing in the hall can understand Li Shimin's thoughts. This time is to calm down the past, and it is for the people who are still there. Since it is appeasement, not punishment, then there is no need to give a bad posthumous posthumous title, otherwise it does not match the starting point. .

Sure enough, Li Shimin frowned and directly rejected the posthumous title.

Du Yan, the official censor, came out. Du Ruhui's uncle was also a hero of the Tiance Mansion, but Du Ruhui's brothers had a grudge against Du Yan's uncle, because Du Ruhui's elder brother and younger brother Du Chuke, along with their uncle Du Yan, fell into Wang Shichong's hands. .

Du Yan actually slandered Du Ruhui's elder brother to Wang Shichong, causing him to be killed, and his younger brother Chu Ke was also imprisoned and almost starved to death. Li Shimin was rescued after he pacified Luoyang.

At that time, Du Yan was going to be executed because he belonged to Wang Shichong. Du Chuke pleaded for Du Yan, but Du Ruhui was unwilling to save the uncle who killed his brother. He pleaded with Li Shimin and rescued Du Yan.

Du Yan entered Tiance Mansion, but Du Chuke lived in seclusion in Songshan.

Now there are two uncles and nephews, one is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other is the Yushi doctor, but the relationship is very bad. In fact, infighting in this kind of famous family is very common, and the reason for the fighting is also caused by the concubines.

After Du Ruhui's grandmother died, his grandfather married another step-wife. It was Du Yan's mother. Discrimination on the side of the direct line, so naturally they also hate the direct line, and in the end there was a fight between uncle and nephew.

It can be seen from this that Du Yan is by no means a good recommendation. When Li Shimin fought with Jiancheng, Du Yan was very active in making decisions. He was exiled after the Yang Wengan incident, and was recalled by Li Shimin after the Xuanwu Gate. important position.

At this moment, Du Yan suggested to Li Shimin to give Jiancheng a posthumous title.

Ling is also a bad posthumous posthumous title.

Good sacrifices to ghosts are called spirits, very well known ghosts and gods are called spirits, and those who are not diligent are called spirits.

It is absurd to use spirit as posthumous title.

Violence and spirit are both evil.

Li Shimin is willing to use these two evil posthumous posthumous titles in his heart, but the intention of posthumously conferring on the two brothers today is not to flog the corpses. Among the hundreds of officials in the palace, there are still many old ministries, such as Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Wei Ting and others. , but he is not some ridiculous prince.

It's just a failed power struggle.

Wei Zheng and others would not agree to the posthumous posthumous title Li He Ling.

Sure enough, as soon as Du Yan finished speaking, Wang Gui from the former East Palace, who was demoted by Li Yuan because of the Yang Wengan incident, immediately stood up to oppose it.

Wang Gui, who was promoted to be the servant of the Huangmen Gate, began to attack Du Yan face-to-face very bluntly, and counted his accomplishments.

Li Shimin frowned.

Today is not here to hold some meritorious service meeting for Jiancheng, today is just to put an end to what happened at the beginning and completely seal the coffin.

Seeing that Wei Zheng, Wei Ting and many other ministers began to talk about the achievements of the construction, even Yuwen Shi and his own people also told him that the cruelty and spirit were not good, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore.

Shangshu Youpu shot Feng Deyi to observe his face and noticed the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Stand up immediately.

"Your Majesty, I believe that posthumous titles are desirable. What happened on the fourth day of June has long been settled.

Jiancheng is cruel, how can he be a talented person, Yuanji is fierce and violent, and there are signs of overturning the nest, Jiancheng and Yuanji are actually two evils.Sino-foreign relations are not tolerated by humans and gods.Use obscurity to make it clear, Yin worry enlightens the sage, good and evil are divided early, and the society is determined.

Now that His Majesty grants posthumous posthumous titles, he really thinks of brotherhood, not that the evils they committed and the mistakes they committed do not exist anymore. People like Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, and Wei Ting can't face it up to this day. It's really wrong to want to gain fame for the old master, regardless of the facts! "

Feng Deyi has been prime minister for many years, once he said this, the atmosphere in the court immediately changed, this is the emperor's confidant.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also stood up to support Feng Deyi.

Li Shimin nodded accordingly, and granted the posthumous posthumous title of Ling, King of Xiling, and Yuan Ji, the posthumous title is Assassination, and Assassination is the posthumous title, which means violent and unaccompanied, which is also an evil posthumous posthumous title.

He was built as King Xiling, and was buried with the ceremony of a prince, while Yuan Ji was the king of Hailing, who was buried with the ceremony of a county king.

"The old bureaucrats of Jiancheng and Yuanji are all going to the funeral!"

The matter is negotiated.

Li Shimin asked to issue several edicts.

Lu Kuan, the former middle supervisor of the palace, has been appointed Minister of the Ministry of Rites. There is a vacancy in the position of the middle supervisor of the palace.

Princess Guiyang's son-in-law, the captain of Ande County, Yang Shidao, was named Taichangqing and military supervisor.

Princess Xiangyang's consort Du Wei, Duke Dou Dan of Anfeng County, Feng Zong Zhengqing and Guozijian sacrificed wine.

······
Zhongshuling Yuwenshi and the prime minister were kicked out of the political affairs hall.Dianzhongjian is the chief of Dianzhong Province, but they are called the three inner provinces just like the secretary department and the internal servant department, and the power of the three outer provinces is very different from that of Zhongshu Menxia Shangshu.

The palace is in charge of the emperor's daily life, and he is in charge of the six bureaus such as food, medicine, and clothing.

This is the second Prime Minister of Wude who was kicked out of the center after Yang Gongren.

Seeing this, Pei Ji also felt the difference today. This confidant of Li Yuan came out to play,
"Your Majesty, at the beginning when the troops were raised in Taiyuan, I made an agreement with the Supreme Emperor that the quasi-chens would resign and return to their fields after the world was settled. Now that the world is at peace, Your Majesty, the quasi-chens are invited to resign."

"Pei Xiang has the honor of life, and now he is in good health, why do you say that?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, I am old, weak and sickly, and I really can't do it any more. Please resign, Your Majesty, I hope you can take care of yourself for the rest of your life."

There are two monarchs and ministers, Pei Ji wants to resign, but Li Shimin insists on staying.

But everyone can see that Li Shimin doesn't really like Pei Ji, but it's just not the time for him to leave.

"I will give Prime Minister Pei a long vacation to recuperate at home. During the recuperation period, Minister Wailang will be on duty at Pei's mansion. When he is in better health, he will go to the Political Affairs Hall every three or two days to calm down the political affairs.
Give a Lingshou stick! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although Pei Ji hasn't retired from office yet, but in this way, he has half withdrawn from the center.

"Wu Huaiyu!"

"The minister is here!" Wu Huaiyu heard the emperor calling her name, and hurried out of the class.

"You are good at alchemy medicine. After you go to the Duke of Wei's mansion, you will prescribe prescriptions for Mr. Pei's diagnosis and treatment, and help Duke Wei recuperate and recuperate your body. No matter how precious medicinal materials you need, just use them, and the palace will give them to you."

After the court, Pei Ji asked Huaiyu to take his carriage back to Duke Wei's mansion. Pei Ji's carriage was very luxurious, it was like a caravan. Not only could the two of them drink tea in the carriage, but there were actually two beautiful maidservants in the carriage.

As an old friend of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, Pei Ji dare not say that he is rich like a country, but he is really rich.

After Li Yuan captured Chang'an, he directly sealed Pei Ji as the Duke of Wei, and gave him [-] mu of land, a mansion, and [-] pieces of fabric.

One hundred thousand acres of land at a time, who has such treatment?

Later, when the imperial court cast Kaiyuan Tongbao, Li Yuan also gave Pei Ji a money casting stove. This kind of treatment was the only one among all the courtiers. Except Pei Ji, only three brothers, Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuanji, were given three money casting stoves each. .

A money casting furnace can cast more than 3000 coins a year.

This is not private casting, it is casting money according to the order, making money by yourself, a steady stream of cash cows.

Up to now, Pei Ji's money-making furnace has been casting money by itself for five years, more than 3000 coins a year, and more than 1 coins in five years.

During the Wude Dynasty, Li Yuan named Li Shimin, Li Yuanji, and Pei Ji successively as the three princes. Yuan Ji has become the king of Hailing, Li Shimin has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now only Pei Ji is the Sikong.

Unique and authentic.

Pei Ji's son, Lawyer Pei, was engaged to Li Yuan's daughter, Princess Linhai, and her daughter was also the fiancée of Li Yuan's son Zhao Wang Yuanjing. This time, Pei Ji also won [-] real seals, ranking first.

This station is too high, and the heights are too cold.

"It's said that Erlang's Taoist alchemy is very good. I don't know if Erlang has any way to let me go back to my hometown in Hedong?" Pei Ji said bluntly.
