First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 467 Li Shimin's Invitation

...

When the third sheet was pasted, Yu Wenbao nodded vigorously, and Gao rushed forward to uncover the three wet hemp papers, only to see that Yu Wenbao's face was red and purple, his pupils were red, and he was panting hard. Yuchi Gong's heart tightened.

Yu Wenbao looked at Gao Chong with horror in his eyes, "You, Gao Youzhi, you are not human...".

Gao Chong shook his head and smiled, raised the wet hemp paper in his hand, Yu Wenbao was excited, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, King Qi wanted to commit suicide, left a blood book to plant on King Qin, and then asked me to spread it out secretly to defile King Qin." reputation".

Gao Chong and Yu Chigong were startled when they heard the words, "He has such courage?" Yu Chigong said in astonishment.

"This guy has a paranoid personality, so he can't use common sense to speculate," Gao Chong said in a deep voice.

"Then how to deal with it?" Yu Chigong frowned and asked, "I'm going to report to the prince now."

Gao Chong stretched out his hand to stop him, ordered Gao Xiong to untie him, then pointed to the pen and paper on the desk and said, "Yu Wenbao, it's up to you whether you survive or not."

Yu Wenbao understood, nodded hurriedly, stepped forward to tidy up his clothes, clearly wrote down what Li Yuanji had told him, and then signed his name.

"Let's go and find the prince," Gao Chong said, putting away his confession.

The two went straight to the East Palace, where Li Shimin was speaking uprightly in He Ganlu Hall.

"Aye, there are no more than a hundred nobles in the Taiji Palace, but there are thousands of maids and servants serving them. There are so many people, and the daily cost is countless. I intend to eliminate some of the palace ladies and servants, reduce the number of staff, set an example, and advocate frugality. Please also I agree," Li Shimin bowed respectfully.

Li Yuan didn't care about this, and said lazily: "Since you have this idea, let's do it there, as long as you don't fall into the royal prestige."

Li Shimin thanked him, and then continued: "The inner garden keeps countless hawks and dogs only for royal entertainment. The daily consumption of these animals is enough to support tens of thousands of people. My child intends to release all the birds and beasts. Please agree with Aye." .

Seeing Li Shimin requesting to play one after another, Li Yuan was a little impatient, waved his hand and said: "It's just some animals, you make up your own mind."

"One more thing, these three things need Aye's consent." Li Shimin said bluntly: "According to the etiquette law, the names of the emperor and the prince need to be taboo, but since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the taboos have led to abolished and wrong places. More and more, arbitrarily taboo, contrary to the classics.

Therefore, Hai'er suggested that when the names of the emperor and the prince are not consecutive, there is no need to avoid taboos, such as Jishi Anmin, there is no need to avoid taboos when these four characters appear in the article, what does Aye think? "

Li Yuan frowned when he heard these words, sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, it may damage the prestige."

"Aye, prestige is in people's hearts. If the king has the right way and the people are rich, he will be very prestigious. If the king has no way, even if he avoids taboos, it will be difficult to eliminate the infamy," Li Shimin said earnestly.

Li Yuan was silent, looked at Li Shimin and said, "I have no objection if you want to be famous, but don't rush for success."

Li Shimin responded when he heard the words, only to see Li Yuan waved his hands and said: "I am sure of the three things I have played, but I will only avoid one thing, and I will start after myself."

Li Shimin naturally agreed to this point, and after thanking him, he came out of the hall to promulgate the decree.

Li Yuan attaches great importance to avoiding taboos. He changed the tiger's son to a horse's son, and changed the famous sword Seven Star Longyuan Sword to Seven Star Longquan Sword. These were all instructed by Li Yuan.

On the original trajectory, Li Shimin was opposed to taboos. During his reign, there was no need to avoid taboos. It was just that after Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, in order to show his filial piety, the taboos were raised again.

These three things were all brought up by Li Shimin himself, for no other reason than Li Yuan explained directly, it was just to invite fame.

Li Shimin had just ascended to the throne. Although Li Jiancheng was deposed, he had been the prince for eight years and still had some prestige. In order to gain fame, Li Shimin ordered to treat Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family members kindly in the morning, and gave generous gifts. He came up with a method to express Li Shimin's diligence, thrift, kindness to brothers, and understanding of the people.

When they returned to Chengqian Palace, Gao Chong and Yu Chigong had already been waiting for a long time.

After seeing the ceremony and taking his seat, Gao Chong offered Yu Wenbao's confession, shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, King Jiuyuan has such vicious thoughts, if he really gets his way, I really can't explain it clearly."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and slapped the desk, "He has been at odds with me since he was a child, and I have forgiven his sins. I never thought he would risk his life to frame me."

Originally, Li Shimin attached great importance to his reputation, but the Changlin Gate Mutiny had very little impact. Many people were unaware of the situation. There were vague rumors among the people, and many people secretly speculated whether Li Shimin initiated the mutiny first, and then framed Li Jiancheng. Still a gentleman.

For such rumors, Li Shimin deeply hated, and specially ordered that the Changlinmen mutiny should not be blocked, and anyone could talk about it. He even visited the clan kings who were injured in the mutiny several times, suggesting that they would testify.

If Li Yuanji really died in prison, and then there was a blood book, it would be really yellow mud, it would be shit or shit, and it would forcefully bring new doubts to the change of Changlin Gate. Afraid.

"I'm going to find the saint right now, you come with me," Li Shimin stood up awkwardly, and returned to the Ganlu Hall before his butt was hot.

"Everyone, the prince seeks an audience," Wang De bowed and said.

"Why are you here again?" Li Yuan frowned, and was about to refuse, only to hear Wang De say: "There is also General Youwu Hou Yuchi, Gao Shaoqing of Dali Temple, about the matter of King Jiuyuan."

"You old bastard...", Li Yuan scolded, "Xuan".

"Have you caught Yuanji?" Li Yuan asked Yu Chigong without waiting for the three of them to salute.

Li Shimin presented Yu Wenbao's confession, narrating the cause and effect one by one, and said with grief and indignation: "I have never felt disgusted when I asked myself, but Shiro repeatedly forced me to frame my son with his life, completely disregarding the royal face and the Tang Dynasty. It's so important, I dare not be good at it, so I ask Aye to be the master."

Li Yuan read the testimony with a gloomy face, his hands were shaking, and he said in a deep voice, "Bring Yuan Ji and Yu Wenbao here."

Seeing that Li Yuan didn't pay attention to himself, Li Shimin didn't care about the presence of others, so he lay down on the ground and wept loudly.

Gao Chong and the two watched their noses, noses, and hearts, and only lowered their heads, not daring to show the slightest strangeness.

Hearing Li Shimin's weeping tears, Gao Chong called him a good guy. Li Shimin was obviously a tough guy, but he forced Gao Chong to go astray, and he cried loudly at every turn.

But as the saying goes, a crying child has milk, and now Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, the two ignorant sons-in-law, have made a big mistake and it is difficult to turn over.

Although this second child is very scheming, he is indeed very filial and has never done anything out of the ordinary.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin who was heartbroken, and his heart softened, and he sighed: "Erlang get up, I will handle this matter."

　There are always a few days in every month, Calvin, it’s so sad, I wish you all a happy holiday
