Chapter 871: The eldest grandson and the second son
871. The eldest grandson and the second son
Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled bitterly in his heart, he knew better than anyone else that these four "nos" were easy to say, and it was so difficult to resolutely follow and realize.
This difficulty is not difficult in the officials, nor in the scholars and people, it is difficult in their royal family, the times are changing, the country has walls and weaknesses, it is inevitable that sometimes we have to compromise and take into account the overall situation, but this ancestral system is really to put the Tang royal family on the fire, there must be no slackness, even if the situation is critical in the future, all the ministers can descend and escape, and the emperor can not escape, however, for Li Shimin, so, it is in line with his wishes, Zu Xun can always spur the emperor of the dynasty, if the enemy bends his knees, If he has no backbone, he is not worthy of being his descendant of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin immediately took the case and said: "Brother Hejian Wang, quickly set up a stone tablet with the Ministry of Rites, engrave these twelve characters, choose an auspicious day, and stand in the Taimiao."
Li Xiaogong in the hall was also excited, responded sonorously, and asked again: "Your Majesty, I don't know who to write this word?" ”
When the words fell, Xu Jingzong said directly: "This ancestral precept should be written by His Majesty."
When Li Shimin heard this, he waved his hand and said bluntly: "The prince's calligraphy is unique, far more than me, and it is written by the prince."
Li Pojun smiled when he heard this, "The minister receives the order." When it comes to calligraphy, he is really not afraid, and the thin gold body is alone in the world, which is not blown.
These twelve-character ancestral teachings have been determined, and no one has mentioned the matter of peace with the Western Turks, and the ministers can see that His Majesty only favored the prince before, but now in the court, as long as His Majesty does not speak, what the prince says is a holy decree, and he naturally becomes a prisoner.
The court meeting is finally coming to an end, and the ministers are already so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs, and they just ate some pastries to pad their stomachs before going to court, and they are already grumbling with hunger this morning.
And Dong Mingzhe looked left and right, but no one cared about him anymore, Dong Mingzhe only felt that the sky was going to be bed, His Majesty never expressed his position, didn't he say that he had acquiesced, and was about to speak, Wang Jingzhong shouted, "Retreat from the dynasty." These two words shook Dong Mingzhe like a Hong Zhong and collapsed to the ground, but the ministers didn't look at this person when they passed by, Dong Mingzhe was hopeless, only Kong Yingda couldn't stand it.
Seeing that Li Pojun was about to leave the hall, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Your Highness, slow down."
"Oh, what does Master Confucius command?" Li Pojun was also busy coming over to greet him, after all, he was a cheap master, and he was still the leader of Shilin, but he couldn't be ambiguous.
"Your Royal Highness, although this Dong Mingzhe is stupid nonsense, but his heart has no heart to the enemy, may His Highness remember his past conscientiousness, preaching and receiving karma, but also give the old man a thin face, let him die?" Saying that, Kong Yingda also gave a salute.
Li Pojun was also silent when he heard this, looked at Dong Mingzhe who was sluggish on the ground, his brows furrowed slightly, to be honest, he really didn't want to let go of this kind of guy, this person is still just a corrupt Confucian, and he claims to be benevolent and righteous, if he doesn't deal with it, after a long time, he may not become a traitor.
At this time, Dong Mingzhe also reacted, and hugged Kong Yingda's leg with great joy and cried: "Master Confucius, Master Confucius, the disciple is wronged, I, I have no treason, absolutely not."
Confucius? Disciple? Li Pojun was stunned for a moment, looked at Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda's old face was slightly red, and he said bluntly: "This person is also from my door."
After that, he waved his sleeves and moved his legs away, looked at Dong Mingzhe, who was kneeling on the ground with snot and tears that couldn't stop it, and said: "From now on, you are no longer my disciple, don't insult my reputation."
After that, he looked at Li Pojun again, sighed, and bowed: "Please also ask Your Highness to give the old man thin noodles."
Li Pojun was busy helping Kong Yingda up, "Master Kong's words are serious." After that, he looked at Dong Mingzhe and shouted: "If it weren't for Confucius Shi's words, you would have no way to live, I would dismiss your official position, confiscate your family property, and never hire you, can you be convinced?" ”
Dong Mingzhe was stunned when he heard this, his face turned red, he was furious, and he was about to resist, but Kong Yingda kicked him to the ground, "Hmph, don't hurry up and thank you."
Dong Mingzhe was awakened by this kick, and said straight and said, "Thank Your Royal Highness Prince for not killing." His head was bowed, and his eyes were full of vicious resentment.
Li Pojun listened to the tone of this word, looked at Dong Mingzhe and frowned, but he didn't say anything, it was normal to have grievances, and he was not afraid of him stirring up trouble.
Immediately and pleasantly and Kong Yingda walked to the side to talk, for Kong Yingda, at first Li Pojun only thought that he was an old stubborn and rotten Confucian, and later contacted more and understood more, and he also respected this old man very much, Kong Yingda is not only familiar with the scriptures and history, is the master of the scriptures since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and has great attainments in arithmetic, economy, and astronomical calendar, the famous astronomer Liu Zhuo is still his friend, and the six arts of the gentleman are also compatible, in troubled times, Kong Yingda has also killed people, It's not a rotten good person.
When he returned to the East Palace, Li Pojun asked Qiu'er to lay paper and polish ink, and began to write the twelve-character ancestral teachings, writing again and again, although it was very good every time, but Li Pojun has been writing more than ten pairs, and then he selected the most perfect pair, and he was thinking of sending it to Uncle Hejian in person, and the guards came to report that the second son of the eldest grandson family had arrived.
Li Pojun was also very interested, just thinking about going out to greet him, he was a second cousin, so he saw a person coming in from outside the door, only to see this person wearing a dark green brocade robe in Xishu, with a fair complexion and a thin body, and the boy walked in, this person was the eldest grandson.
"Haha, the eldest minister, Sun Lian, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." The eldest grandson strode in and smiled at Li Pojun.
Li Pojun also shook his head and smiled bitterly, this kid has some personality splits, he is enthusiastic for a while, and he is like water for a while.
Immediately, his face was also pale, "Since you are a courtier, why don't you trespass without waiting for the report."
The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Pojun's face that was trying his best to hold it and laughed, "Wen Han almost scared me, our mother-in-law and brother, aren't these two houses coming and going at will, wouldn't they be laughing to death if they still use the words of the report, haha." As he spoke, he came over and sat down.
"The second cousin is heavy, you came fast enough, I haven't had lunch yet, you came, did you plan to come to eat?" Li Pojun also sat on the Taishi chair, holding tea and laughing.
secretly said in his heart: The eldest grandson really has some information, knowing that I don't like vulgar etiquette and being close to my family, I look like a relative and friendly, and Li Pojun is also happy to be like this, after all, relatives.
