After a bastard remark, Li Chengqian finally caused a big disaster for himself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The prince's words and deeds are always watched, originally this prince did a very bad job, either wine or lust, occasionally kill one or two palace people to vent anger or have fun, and either slander or assassinate the enemy, since the death of the eldest grandson queen in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian has completely changed, and the gentle, courteous, diligent and humble prince of the East Palace is like two people, as if he was caught by evil ghosts.
Bad words and deeds can be endured by the monarch and ministers, Li Shimin loves this eldest son, Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang, these great Confucians of the time keep sending them to the East Palace, only hoping that Li Chengqian can learn his way back and change his ways, and the courtiers can only comfort themselves that this is just a rebellion in youth, after all, everyone has been young, and they haven't seen a few too sensible people when they were young, who hasn't been a scumbag for a few years? After a few years, after years of precipitation, or after being slapped a few times by the cruel reality, men will be sensible.
Jun and Chen are deceiving themselves, and they all feel that Li Chengqian belongs to the kind of patient who can be saved.
However, after Li Chengqian said, "Killing 500 people, isn't it certain?" Zhang Xuansu, who knew about the incident, Li Shimin's heart was cold, and he felt that a basin of ice water was drenched on his head and feet, and the kind of cold meaning that came from his bones was terrifying.
Li Chengqian was born in the second year of Wude, and he is exactly 24 years old this year.
In this era when the average life expectancy is not long, a 24-year-old man has already understood everything he should know, and the basic principles of being a man such as courtesy, righteousness, and honesty should have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and a 24-year-old adult man could not find an excuse to forgive him if he said, "Kill 500 people, is it uncertain?"
Li Shimin only felt that his heart was like a needle prick, and Li Chengqian's words burned his years of training and teaching for his son, and his blood was wasted.
How can such a person be an emperor?
In the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin and Zhang Xuansu looked at each other, and their eyes were equally bitter.
Half an hour later, there was finally a panicked footstep outside the hall, and Li Chengqian's figure was a little shorter outside the palace gate, and he bowed his head and said in fear: "Son Chengqian, I will pay tribute to my father." ā
******************************************************************
Taiping Village.
There is a low mountain in the east of the village, the mountain is nameless, but there are often wild beasts in and out, when the situation is bad in previous years, the nameless low mountain becomes the granary of the villagers, the next set, digging traps, setting up animal clips, or bows and arrows, sharpening bamboo poles, etc., with these tools can always hit a few golden pheasants or hares, if you are lucky, hunt a wolf or a roe deer, it is considered to open the city.
Li Su is also hunting today, of course, it belongs to the kind of hunting that is too idle to panic and eat enough.
As humans at the top of the food chain, humans feel no guilt about harming animals at the bottom of the food chain when they are bored.
Li Su was not the only one who walked with him, this time he brought Li Zhi and Xiao Zi, followed by the personal guards of the two and the Li family's subordinates, and a group of people went up the mountain.
Hunting is a fashionable sport in the Tang Dynasty, of course, belonging to the elite class, civilians hunt only to fill their stomachs, when food is secure, the people generally will not harm animals, the interdependence between man and nature, the people do much better than the powerful.
Entertainment activities in this era are too scarce, the powerful do not produce, do not work, and objectively speaking, there are few who like to read, how to spend a lot of free and boring time? Of course, it's a waste of youth, otherwise what can you do?
Li Su and Li Zhi obviously belong to the type of people who are idle and panicked, early in the morning, Li Zhi led his sister into the door of Li's house, with Li Su's lazy personality, of course, he would not spend too much effort to entertain them, after all, everyone is so familiar, so after Li Zhi walked around the door, he found that he ...... The Li family was also very bored, so the brother and sister sat in the front hall with their cheeks on their cheeks and sighed, looking listless, Li Su couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to take the two to hunt.
Leading the two brothers and sisters who were resurrected with blood and blue in the same place, Li Su asked his subordinates to prepare bows and arrows, swords, spears, large nets and other things, Xu Mingzhu was afraid that the two brothers and sisters would be injured, and took out two pairs of trumpet leather armor from home for Li Zhi's brothers and sisters to wear, and a group of people hugged a pair of postures to conquer Shuibo Liangshan and marched into the mountain, looking like a group of cannon fodder who were stepping stones for heroes, Li Su as the coach was very unconfident in this trip.
The mountain stream spring water is murmuring, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is far away and quiet, and the scenery is beautiful.
Li Zhi gasped while walking, and the little son was carried by the guards in a simple soft sedan chair, and the group walked neither fast nor slow, everyone had no ambition for the results, and they didn't care if they could hit the prey, mainly to play in the mountains and rivers.
"Brother Zizheng, you know, something big happened in the palace last night......" Li Zhi gasped and accosted.
"What's the matter?" Li Su replied absentmindedly, but his eyes looked around.
Although the scenery is good, it is not suitable for living, the only advantage is that the air is good, but aside from the wild beasts, the mosquitoes in the mountains alone can bite people into the West Heaven Bodhisattva, and the big trees on the mountain are shady, and the lighting is also poor.
Shaking his head, Li Su gave up the idea of building a small villa in the mountains.
Li Zhi sighed and said, "Last night, my father taught the prince a lesson......
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Lao Tzu taught his son, what is a big deal to be a matter of course?" ā
Li Zhi sighed: "The lesson is too cruel...... My father took it personally, and I picked up the iron boring of the samurai outside the palace and beat it, and I heard that the prince's leg was broken by his father......"
This sentence finally caught Li Su's attention, and he exclaimed: "Huh? What did the crown prince do to make His Majesty so angry? ā
Li Zhi shook his head: "I don't know, I only heard the eunuch around me vaguely mention a few words in the morning, it is said that the prince said a drunken word, saying something 'If I am the emperor, I should wanton and want, if there is a counselor, kill him, kill five hundred people, maybe', it is this sentence that annoyed the father and emperor......"
A trace of strangeness flashed on Li Su's face, and then he was shocked: "The prince just said a few drunken words, how can Your Majesty take it seriously?" ā
Li Zhi scratched his head and said, "I heard from the palace people that the prince's words were very inappropriate, and they were the words of a faint tyrant, so my father was very angry and broke his leg with his own hands......"
Li Su blinked and said, "Your legs are all broken?" That's great news...... Ah, sad news, ah......"
Because his son was too cruel, Lao Tzu brutally broke his son's leg......
Li Zhi said worriedly: "This matter is very big, it is said that the day has just dawned, the courtiers outside have known everything, the courtiers have fried the pot, especially the prince's words, which made the crowd even more angry, even several generals and uncles who have never been involved in political affairs are so angry that they scolded in front of the palace gate, they scolded not the father and the prince, but scolded those ministers of the East Palace, such as the left and right concubines Yu Zhining, Zhang Xuansu them, said that they were negligent in teaching, and caused the prince to be cruel and unkind, shaking the foundation of the future society of the Tang Dynasty, not only asking the father to punish the crime, and demanded that Zhang Xuansu and others all commit suicide to apologize to the world. Uncle Cheng was the most irritable, and when he heard that he had even brought out an axe, he shouted that he should not let him see Yu Zhang and the others in Chang'an, and he would kill him if he saw it......"
Li Su's eyes widened.
These guys are really old killers, and they are all bloody when they finally get involved in political affairs, and they are very simple and rude.
The bastard's words are too serious, and the spearhead is directed at all the courtiers, Li Chengqian has been the crown prince for 17 years, this is the first time that he has unofficially announced to the outside world the future policy program after becoming emperor, the program is very simple, whoever dares to say something that makes me unhappy, I will kill him.
Anyone who listens to this can't stand it, one of the duties of the courtiers is to admonish, the courtiers give advice to the emperor, usually not very pleasant, Li Chengqian actually said something "If there is a counselor, I will kill it", this can be regarded as a hornet's nest, we kindly admonished, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, not only do you not listen, but want to kill us, is this a human word? You spoke lightly with a touch of two mouths, how much did one sentence add to the career risk of the future courtiers of the Tang Dynasty? Have you ever considered our feelings?
Although Li Su didn't see the grand occasion of Qi Xianxian, the minister of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, standing in front of the palace gate and scolding the street, he was sure that after Li Chengqian's words spread, the people's hearts would inevitably be lost, I am afraid that even those courtiers who had resolutely stood in the prince's camp before were not very stable, and they all said that good birds choose trees to perch, and whether they will eat and drink spicy food or fall to the ground with such a brutal boss in the future, everyone has to weigh it in their hearts, His Majesty the Emperor's reproductive function is so powerful, it can be said that there are many princes like dogs, and the princess walks all over the ground, why do you have to choose to hang yourself on this tree? Who are you not with?
The smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed a little, Li Su couldn't help but want to laugh, it seemed that he had done a good job in doing this matter, and quietly dug a pit for Li Chengqian, and really induced Li Chengqian to say this bastard remark, and after Li Chengqian was knocked down, he wanted to arrange a good way out for Chengxin, so that he could live a happy and comfortable life.
"Brother Zizheng, why are you laughing at such a serious matter?" Li Zhi glared at him dissatisfied.
Li Suzheng said: "Your Highness is wrong, I am a bitter smile, a bitter smile for the people of the society, the prince said this...... I really shouldn't. ā
Li Zhi nodded: "That's right, I don't think I should either, but I'm just a prince, and it won't be my turn to be the emperor anyway, and I shouldn't get involved in court affairs......"
Li Zhi said, suddenly showing a look of unbearability, and sighed: "It's just...... The prince said the wrong thing, and his father taught him a lesson, but he was too ruthless, how could he break his legs? ā
Li Su looked at him deeply, Li Zhi was stared at a little uncomfortable, coughed twice, and said, "Brother Zizheng, did I say something wrong?" ā
Li Su said with a smile: "You are right, it is the prince who is wrong, the prince is an adult man, what an adult says and does, he is responsible, he does it right, he enjoys the results calmly, and if he makes a mistake, he must also bear the consequences calmly, my Tang Dynasty Wang Shi swept the world and was invincible, because the military discipline is strict, the reward and punishment are unambiguous, and the way to be a person and do things should actually be like this, if you are wrong, you should be punished......
"Your Royal Highness, if the prince's words today are lightly revealed, the prince has not been taught a lesson, he will feel that what he said is right, and he will be invisibly encouraged, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and then recall the words that he felt were very correct, and according to this sentence to govern the country, Your Highness, you think about it, what a terrible harm it will bring to the Tang Dynasty, the loyal and honest old ministers are guilty because of the advice, and the remaining courtiers are afraid of the emperor's authority, and they dare not give a word in order to protect themselves, and they dare not say a word, and the court can no longer hear any voice that makes the emperor unhappy, The emperor thought that the world was peaceful, dancing and singing, and the effect was faint and downward, what would the Tang Dynasty look like at that time? ā
Li Su looked at Li Zhi, who was silent and thoughtful, and said with a smile: "Therefore, if you do something wrong, you must be punished, and if you don't punish it, it is connivance, it is a tacit acquiescence, and it is easy for ordinary people to say, but the prince of the heavenly family said the wrong thing, and it will harm the whole country, Your Highness does not blame your father for being ruthless, he must do this, and he must give the prince a lesson that will never be forgotten, otherwise it will bury serious hidden dangers for the future Datang Sheji." ā
Li Zhi gradually showed a sudden expression, and then bowed to Li Suchang very formally: "Brother Xie Zizheng solves his doubts, I really shouldn't be merciful and biased and mislead the society." ā
Li Su smiled with satisfaction, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, it happened to reach the top of his head, so he naturally made the action of smiling and stroking the dog's head.
This kind of child is really worry-free, and very kind, look, he doesn't resist when he touches his dog's head, how benevolent...... (To be continued.) )
