The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Even though they have separated, we still need to ask about the Changsun family.

"I thought that after the death of Prince Changle, these people in the palace should be more obedient." Li Shimin said with a stern face: "I didn't expect that they still do what they want."

Li Shimin also had the idea of ​​temporarily putting the responsibility of the General of the Gate on Chang He, the General of the Left Gate. As for Changsun Anye, he would not move him for the time being to give him some warnings. If he still persists, then don't blame him for not giving face to the emperor.

Changsun Anye was promoted to the General of the Right Gate for the sake of the emperor, but he had too many little thoughts and was unwilling to give up. He couldn't keep such a person in charge of the palace.

After the people in the Liangyi Hall dispersed, Li Shimin planned to go to the Secretariat.

He also wanted to see what the old ministers were discussing.

At present, most of the Zhongshu and Menxia are old officials of the Wude years, and they are in high positions. Even if they are to be replaced, it will not be done in a short time.

In the hall, Feng Deyi and Xiao Yu are chatting.

"I heard that King Changle smelled a kind of grass before his death. After smelling it, people will be very happy, and death will not be painful." Feng Deyi said.

"Why did the Right Prime Minister suddenly think of death?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"I heard that Buddhism emphasizes accumulating good deeds, and after death, you can escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

"That's not the case. Being born as a human is painful, and accumulating virtue is to avoid falling into the world again." Xiao Yu retorted.

"Is that so." Feng Deyi responded: "Then, is being loyal to the king accumulating virtue?"

"It depends on what kind of king you are loyal to." Xiao Yu said.

"That's too difficult. How can I know what the king is like and what he will do?"

"Then read more books of sages and try to learn the words and deeds of sages. Then you will know whether the king will follow the path of sages and you will know what to do." Xiao Yu said: "Right servant, you are usually smooth. In my opinion, you often flatter and please others, which is not good."

Xiao Yu looked down on Feng Deyi's smoothness. In the former Sui Dynasty, the internal historian Yu Shiji was in charge of government affairs, but he had limited ability and often made inappropriate actions. Feng Deyi secretly attached himself to Yu Shiji and gave him advice, asking him to flatter the emperor, withhold memorials that violated the emperor's will, and suppress talents.

From then on, Yu Shiji's favor deepened day by day, but the government became increasingly corrupt.

In the 14th year of Daye, Yuwen Huaji launched the Jiangdu Rebellion and asked Feng Deyi to list the crimes of Emperor Yang of Sui. He then surrendered to Yuwen Huaji and followed him to Jibei to wait and see the situation.

Later, Yuwen Huaji was defeated and killed, and he followed Yuwen Shiji to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

At first, the emperor looked down on Feng Deyi's flattery and disloyalty, so he dismissed him and sent him back. Later, he flattered and offered secret strategies to please Li Yuan, and then he was appointed as the internal historian.

Xiao Yu was also an old minister, and he knew all too well how Feng Deyi had come all the way.

"But if you want to make plans for others, you must know what he means, so that you can make plans for others."

"Back then, the emperor was troubled by the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Qin. You persuaded the emperor to kill the king of Qin. Now the king of Qin is your majesty. Let alone accumulating virtue, how do you face your majesty every time you see him?" Xiao Yu's words directly hit Feng Deyi's heart.

Before Feng Deyi could speak, Li Shimin came in from outside.

"What are you talking about, my dear ministers?" Li Shimin came to the two with a smile on his face: "I seem to hear you talking about me just now."

When Feng Deyi saw Li Shimin, his eyes widened and his mouth opened. He looked frightened and couldn't speak clearly.

"We are discussing the Buddhist accumulating virtue." Xiao Yu said.

When Xiao Yu saw this, his expression on his face was also very wonderful. He was not sure whether your majesty had heard what they had just talked about.

Feng Deyi hesitated for a long time.

"What do you want to say?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

He didn't understand why Feng Deyi became like this as soon as he came in?

Feng Deyi fell to the ground without catching his breath.

Li Shimin was stunned.

What happened?

"Come here, go to the Imperial Medical Bureau and ask the imperial physician to come."

Li Shimin hurriedly ordered.

"Did the Right Servant have heart disease before?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"No? I don't know." Xiao Yu responded to Li Shimin while checking Feng Deyi's condition.

Soon, someone from the Imperial Medical Bureau came to take Feng Deyi's pulse.

"Your Majesty." The person from the Imperial Medical Bureau knelt on the ground and bowed to Li Shimin: "The Right Servant suddenly got a serious illness, and it is likely to be a bad thing."

Li Shimin lowered his eyes.

A good oneA Right Pushe suddenly fell ill in the palace.

Li Shimin ordered the palace eunuchs to carry him out and send Feng Deyi back in his own imperial sedan chair.

"Let the Right Pushe recuperate at home, and don't worry about the affairs of the court for the time being." Li Shimin said: "The few people from the Imperial Medical Bureau, go back with us, and make sure to treat the Right Pushe well."

"Yes." The imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau bowed and responded.

After the people left, Li Shimin looked at Xiao Yu.

"What were you talking about just now? How could a good person suddenly become like that?" Li Shimin asked: "Is there something important?"

"When your majesty came in just now, we were talking about that the retired emperor was very distressed because of the disputes between the princes, and he persuaded the retired emperor to kill your majesty." Xiao Yu said.

"Is that so." Li Shimin understood and nodded.

"Your majesty doesn't know?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"I don't know."

"I thought your majesty was magnanimous." Xiao Yu said.

"There were quite a few people who privately discussed killing me back then, including Wei Zheng, Xue Wanche, and Li Sixing." Li Shimin said, "But as long as they are beneficial to the new dynasty and the new policies, all the past events are in the past, and I can forgive them, except for Feng Deyi."

He said this to Xiao Yu, but is Feng Deyi beneficial to the new dynasty and the new policies?

He gathered a group of old officials of Wude, who opposed the new policies in the court, constantly safeguarded the interests of those old officials, ignored the overall situation, and opposed the reforms of the new dynasty.

Li Shimin had long been dissatisfied with him in his heart, but he just didn't say it.

Now that Feng Deyi is ill, the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau say that the situation is not optimistic, so just wait and see how pessimistic the situation is.

I had already planned to let him abdicate, so this would be a good thing.

Once the position of You Pushe becomes vacant, Changsun Wuji can take the position legitimately.
