958 Verbal War

Seeing Li Longji coming, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "All the Qing family is exempt from courtesy, sit down." ”

After everyone thanked them, they sat down, Cui Yuan asked Gao Lishi to sit in the front, and Zheng Peng sat at the back very consciously.

What can be obtained now is the title of champion, the position of the ordnance supervisor is simply insignificant here, and Zheng Peng has no opinion, anyway, he just has the intention of watching the drama and just waits for the changes.

After the palace maid served the tea and retreated, Li Longji looked around at the people present, and said in a deep voice: "All of you here are my ministers, the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty, presumably I have guessed the meaning of summoning you, so I won't beat around the bush, the crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao and the king of light Li Ju do not miss family affection and do not think about the emperor's grace, and they openly led troops to attack the palace, intending to rebel, fortunately, the sky has eyes, the first emperor has spirits, and they have all been put into the prison, I want to ask all the secretaries, how to deal with this matter?" ”

As soon as Li Longji's words fell, there was an exclamation at the scene.

To tell the truth, the people who can appear here are not ordinary people, everyone has their own news channels, when they first heard that the prince took the lead in rebellion, they all couldn't believe that the prince had the courage to rebel, but these words came from Li Longji's mouth, so I believed it, but the news was a little scary, and I felt shocked when I heard it.

After everyone was shocked, they looked at each other, and quickly shut up and stopped talking.

The people present were all human spirits, and they knew that this matter was too involved, and they said that there were many mistakes, so they simply looked at their noses and noses one by one, and let "others" explore the way first, and find out the emperor's intentions before speaking.

First of all, the whole city was under martial law, and he was invited into the palace before he could figure out what was going on, and the people present could say that Zhang Er's head was confused, and he couldn't talk about it even if he wanted to.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Longji was a little displeased, frowned and said, "On weekdays, aren't the Qing family quite able to speak, why don't they speak one by one?" ”

The emperor lost his temper, and everyone didn't dare to slack off, and turned their eyes to Han Xiu.

Han Xiu is the right man of Shangshu, upright by nature, dare to give direct advice, after Zhang Jiuling was demoted, he faintly insisted on the court, and all the civil and military officials regarded him as the leader, and when such a big thing happened, everyone naturally wanted to see his statement.

Knowing that he couldn't avoid this, Han Xiu groaned for a while, and took the lead in speaking: "No matter who storms the palace, it is the above offense, it is disrespectful, the prince has always been dignified, and suddenly made such a move, will there be any hidden secrets?" ”

Han Xiu is quite a "long" faction, and has never supported Li Longji to change the prince, but he has his own political wisdom and just takes a firm position, but he will never get close to the prince Li Ying, unlike Zhang Jiuling, who regards himself as the prince's teacher, supports Li Ying in many ways, and also works against Concubine Wu Hui, who is regarded as a thorn in the side of Concubine Wu Hui, no matter how capable he is, he can only leave Chang'an in a gloomy manner.

Li Longji was angry, and he must not do anything with him, Han Xiu first affirmed Li Longji's words, stabilized Li Longji's emotions, and then put forward his own proposal.

Han Xiu knew that Li Longji said the words of the prince's rebellion, and he had already classified the prince as a rebel in his heart, and tonight he said that it was to discuss this matter, but it was actually a ventilation meeting, first unify opinions, and there would be no need for so many people to oppose it at the court meeting tomorrow, although he knew that it was unpleasant to say the latter words, and it might anger Li Longji, but Han Xiu had to say that the reason was very simple, if Han Xiu did not express his attitude at the critical moment, no one present would dare to support the prince anymore.

No one supports the prince, but he is afraid that the life of the prince Li Ying is in danger.

When Han Xiu spoke, Xiao Song had been paying attention to Li Longji's expression, and seeing Li Longji's expression first slowing down and then tightening, he knew that Li Longji was not satisfied with Han Xiu's answer, and when Han Xiu finished speaking, he immediately retorted: "What else is hidden, the knife is raised to the emperor, this is a great crime of disrespect, and the minister proposes that this matter must be severely punished to follow suit." ”

Xiao Song sat in a high position, because the background is greater than the strength, because "virtue is not worthy, it is not convincing", and he was not less ridiculed by Geng Zhi Han Xiu, the two looked at each other unpleasantly, and the grudges accumulated more and more, so that Xiao Song almost met "Han Xiu" and would rebel.

In this coup, the emperor's attitude has been decided, and Xiao Song is friendly with Concubine Wu Hui, which is obviously beneficial to Concubine Wu Hui, Xiao Song immediately decided to sing the opposite tune with Han Xiu.

Han Xiu frowned, and said a little unhappily: "Xiao Zhongshu, this matter is not trivial, the prince suddenly became difficult, shouldn't he investigate whether there is a hidden secret?" ”

For this Xiao Song, Han Xiu has a bit of a headache, obviously he is a mediocre talent, he relies on the background and connections of the Xiao family to sit in a high position, he has no ability to prefer big achievements, he can't do good things, he can't do big things, he mixes small things blindly, and he doesn't care about the venue and time, and he is still arguing with himself at this time.

Xiao Song's talent is average, but his eloquence is not bad, and he didn't want to think about it, so he said: "No matter what the reason, you can't lead troops to attack the palace, if there is an entanglement between three or five guards, you can argue about it, and now, the people of the prince's mansion poured out of the nest and attacked Danfeng Gate, thousands of people and horses, all of them are pointing to the palace, at this time, Han Xiang still has to maintain, what is Han Xiang's intentions, but it makes people very confused." ”

"Fart, the old man's loyalty can show the sun and the moon, Xiao Zhongshu doesn't need to insinuate and speak, if there is evidence, take it out, even if you dismiss the official and behead the family, never frown, if you can't show the evidence, it's just a mouthful, and you have to splatter five steps with your blood if you let go of this old life." It's about his reputation and innocence, Han Xiu stared at Xiao Song and said ironcladly.

Han Xiu was able to sit in the phase, relying on his talent and strength, he had been in the phase for a long time, and when Han Xiu's aura was full, Xiao Song didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Xiao Song's momentum was suppressed, Yang Xun's eyes rolled, and he quickly said: "Han Xiang and Xiao Zhongshu put aside their prejudices for the time being, and now they are discussing the matter of the prince leading his troops to attack the palace and intending to rebel. ”

In order to go further and get the care of his mother-in-law, Yang Hui showed his loyalty early, and also took the initiative to monitor the prince's mansion and collect information related to the prince.

The rebellion was suppressed, the prince was put in prison, and Yang Wei no longer covered it up, and directly put the charge of rebellion on the prince's head.

The king of the military department hesitated for a moment, and quickly said: "The horse's words are a bit arbitrary, it is said that before the prince led the troops into the palace, there was smoke coming out of the palace, and the prince shouted the slogan of killing the thief and saving the driver into the palace, will there be any inside story in this?" ”

Yang Wei is a concubine and the son-in-law of Concubine Wu Hui, there is no doubt about standing on Concubine Wu Hui's side, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he deducted the charge of rebellion on Li Ying's head, which was too obvious, and it was simply Sima Zhao's heart, which everyone knew.

Xiao Song, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "Wang Shangshu, as the secretary of the military department, you shouldn't say such things. ”

"Oh,?? I don't know what Xiao Zhongshu thinks? Wang Jian did not back down at all.

Xiao Song said vigorously: "Whether it is the palace or Chang'an City, there is a complete defense system, even if there is a change in the palace, there is a way to deal with it, without the emperor's personal decree, no one is allowed to enter the palace under any pretext, let alone bring a large number of people into the palace, this is not a rebellion." ”

As soon as several people quarreled, soon the imperial study was noisy, roughly divided into two factions, and the ministers headed by Han Xiu advocated a thorough investigation of the matter, and did not convict the crown prince Li Ying first; The courtiers led by Xiao Song and Yang Wei advocated severely punishing the prince Li Ying for his great disrespect and the crime of rebellion.

After arguing for about a quarter of an hour, everyone calmed down when they saw that Li Longji, who was sitting on it, was covered with frost.

When everyone calmed down, a discordant voice sounded: "Champion Hou is a famous wise man in Datang, he must have his own ideas, but Champion Hou has not expressed his opinion until now, he must have an answer in his heart, it is better to listen to what Champion Hou thinks." ”
