Tang Taiji Palace, partial hall of the imperial study. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This place is the place where the emperor deals with official affairs after going to the court, Li Shimin has a habit of doing things, every day after going to the court, he will generally gather the six main courtiers to go to the imperial study, and listen to the things in the court that day.

The court does not have major events every day, so in this imperial study, there will occasionally be a situation where the emperor and his important ministers drink tea and chat.

After going down to the court today, there was nothing major, but Fang Xuanling and others went to the imperial study as usual, first briefly reported to the emperor, and then accompanied Li Shimin to drink tea and chat.

It's a pity that leisure is only a moment, and today is destined to thunder.

When a spy of the Hundred Cavalry Division rushed in a hurry, the wife of the Marquis of Jingyang stole the tiger talisman, and then surrendered to the Dali Temple to inform the emperor, the atmosphere of the entire imperial study was suddenly depressed.

Fang Xuanling was holding a white jade teacup at the time, and when he heard this, his hands trembled violently, and the tea spilled all over his chest. Kong Yingda was struggling with his long beard at that time, and his hands were also trembling when he heard it, and he didn't know how to cut off a few strands of beard.

Shangguan Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, Wei Chigong's face was dull, and Wei Zheng, who had always looked at anything unpleasant, opened his mouth, and he didn't dare to express his opinion for a long time.

This matter is so big that they don't dare to comment on it for a while, they have to touch what the emperor thinks in his heart first!

Everyone had different expressions, and their eyes were quietly looking up, carefully observing Li Shimin's expression.

Since ancient times, it has been said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and no one can understand the emperor's thoughts, maybe the last moment is still a gentle drizzle, and the next moment may be a violent thunder.

The people in the imperial study are all old people, and they know what the emperor's temperament is, Li Shimin likes to get angry at every turn, and sometimes he can be angry and roar at the court because of a trivial matter, and he has to scold a few ministers to be angry.

The slightest thing can make you angry, but this time it didn't.

Not only did he not, but he even had a light face, took a sip of the teacup with his right hand, and said lightly: "Interesting, I have been all over the world all my life, I have seen all kinds of strange things, and I have never heard of stealing tiger talismans." Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, is the Marquis of Jingyang joking with me......"

Fang Xuanling's pupils shrank suddenly, and Shangguan Yi's eyes narrowed even harder. Kong Yingda and Wei Zheng looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

"It's very good, Your Majesty's expression is very wrong!" Wei Chigong quietly had a bad feeling in his heart, he glanced at Li Shimin cautiously, and found that the emperor was carrying a teapot and pouring himself a drink, and the expression on his face was not leisurely.

Wei Chigong is a cronie among his cronies, but the more this is the case, the more he feels a tingling in his scalp.

"Your Majesty just called Jingyang Hou, didn't shout stinky boy, oh no, this matter is very bad." Wei Chigong only felt a cold sweat on his back, and he felt anxious in his heart.

He glanced at Li Shimin cautiously again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, before Weichen went to court today, the wife of the family asked me to go to the queen to ask for peace, if there is no errand on your side, the minister wants to retire." ”

Wei Chigong wanted to run, but now that something big happened, he had to quickly withdraw and tell the eldest grandson, no one dared to interfere in this matter except the eldest grandson.

Li Shimin's eyes swept away, and he said lightly: "You are a foreign minister, what's the matter with going to see the queen?" Stay here obediently, no one is allowed to leave before noon today, and everyone will accompany me to drink tea and chat. ”

Wei Chigong chuckled in his heart, he arched his hand to the emperor with a wry smile, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, why did you say this, the minister used to often greet the mother, and you also praised me for being the governor and polite." ”

"It was before, today is today!" Li Shimin didn't raise his eyebrows, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair in the room, and said with a smile: "Go back and sit down, obediently taste tea, and taste tea well......

The emperor bit the three words 'good taste' very hard, although his face was light and light, but everyone in the imperial study had numb scalps.

It's scary!

The greater the depression, the more fierce the outbreak will be, and I don't know what kind of thunderstorm it will be. If you are only angry with the Marquis of Jingyang, you are afraid that the emperor will anger everyone and let the ministers suffer from the city gate.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was very strange, the big room could smell the needles falling, the smart eunuch guards had long been far away, and several palace maids waiting for tea trembled, and their pretty faces were pale and bloodless.

……

……

"I'm not sorry for him!" Li Shimin suddenly spoke, as if he was deliberately recalling, and said with a leisurely face: "I will seal him the marquis of a waterwheel, and the general will die in a hundred battles, and he can't be a marquis, but he only sacrificed a waterwheel, and I will seal him a county marquis." ”

Fang Xuanling whispered: "Your Majesty, the waterwheel is beneficial to all the people, and it can be left behind for a hundred generations, and the Marquis of Jingyang has made great contributions, and the minister feels that he should be crowned a marquis." ”

The old house is good, which is equivalent to helping Han Yue say a good word under pressure.

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't seem to hear it, and said leisurely: "Back then, he built a villa in Tianjiazhuang, which had six floors and was as high as five zhang. I personally went to his villa for one night to silence the officials, because as long as I had lived, it could barely be regarded as a royal palace, so that he would be exempted from the crime of transgression. ”

Wei Chigong glanced at Fang Xuanling, and seeing that the old minister didn't speak, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Your Majesty, the villa built by the Marquis of Jingyang only has two floors for people, and the remaining four floors are all used for research. ”

This is also to help Han Yue explain, faintly thinking that the emperor showed that he did not deliberately overstep the system when he built the villa.

Li Shimin snorted and said lightly: "First the Fang Xiang, then you Wei Chi, the popularity of the Marquis of Jingyang is really good, one or two praise him......"

This can be regarded as a joke in normal times, but now that it is said a little heartbroken, Fang Xuanling and Wei Chigong twitched in their hearts at the same time, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

The emperor slowly picked up the teacup and recalled with his eyes: "Later, in the Weishui Alliance, he helped me and Jieli to fight and win a respite for my Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shimin snorted slightly when he said this, his tone slowly turned cold, and said: "If this matter was changed to someone else, I would have already raised my sword to kill it, and ensured that the grave grass had been replaced three times." ”

Shangguan Yi opened his mouth, and finally gritted his teeth for a long time and said: "The mutual market earns earth-shattering wealth for the Tang Dynasty, not only weakening the grassland, but also raising the people. ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were blazing. Shangguan Yi is known as the old fox of the court, this guy knows how to avoid evil in his life, and he didn't expect to grit his teeth to help Han Yue speak.

"Your Majesty, when we were in the mutual market, the Marquis of Jingyang helped Princess Jinyang celebrate her birthday, and sent three gifts overnight, which shocked the world and was all rumored to be a beautiful talk. It can be seen how attentive he is, and how much he attaches importance to family affection......"

These words made the emperor sigh lightly and muttered: "Yes, he loves his little son very much, and now I still put my daughter in the northeast for him to feed." ”

Everyone was happy in their hearts, and Wei Chigong couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Shangguan Yi. is worthy of an old fox, he can always find a shortcut when he speaks, he starts with family affection, and inadvertently weakens the emperor's anger.

It's a pity that everyone rejoiced too early!

Li Shimin suddenly sneered, and said: "It was that night that he gave three big gifts, but he slapped the King of Han to death with one palm, and it was clear that he had the intention of rebelling against him. At that time, the Emperor was furious, so I shouldn't have helped him resolve ......"

Wei Chigong swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the King of Han is not good-minded, every time he peeps into the throne, the Marquis of Jingyang kills him, and it is barely considered meritorious." ”

Li Shimin snorted coldly and was noncommittal.

The emperor suddenly stood up slowly, and muttered with his hands in his hands: "Later, he went to Liaodong, provoked the Goguryeo soldiers to pursue, and I personally led the cavalry to rush to the Liao River, and made an oath that I would rather die in battle than save him. I led a large army to raise my middle finger at the Koreans, and I was ridiculed by the world as a rogue emperor, but I was not angry at all, but felt that this was what should be done. ”

He paused slightly when he said this, and said with deep meaning: "When the father doesn't protect the child, who protects the child, he lacks money, I give him the funds to protect the country, he lacks land, I give him the entire Northeast, a little young man, but I named him the chief of the Hebei Provincial March, the governor of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, the commander of the expedition to the east, the hussar general, and also prepared for him to establish the Bohai vassal state, and even the sword of the Son of Heaven was given ......"

The emperor told the story, one by one, each of which could see his favor for Han Yue, several important ministers glanced at each other, and Fang Xuanling whispered: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jingyang is the eldest son." ”

"The eldest son can't mess with his mind!" Li Shimin drank suddenly, and said coldly: "I have already given him the right to establish a private army, and I want to make such a thing as stealing tiger talismans to cover the eyes of outsiders, who does he want to deceive, does he treat me as a fool?" ”

Han Yue's initial worry was not wrong at all, Li Shimin still misunderstood, thinking that Luo Jing'er was instructed by Han Yue to steal the tiger talisman.

"This son, hateful ......" Li Shimin was angry, and finally said a powerful word.

Everyone looked at each other, and they were silent for a while.

The atmosphere in the imperial study became more and more depressing, as long as the emperor did not speak, where would the important ministers dare to speak, except for Kong Yingda and Han Yue, who had no friendship, the rest were secretly worried about him, and they didn't know what the consequences of this matter should be.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a guard said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ziyan, the fair wife of Yiguo, knelt down at the palace gate and cried, she prayed to see Your Majesty." ”

"Look, this is coming!" Li Shimin snorted and said coldly: "I can't raise my godfather, Luo Jing'er dares to steal the tiger talisman, she has such a character, maybe it wasn't caused by Zhang Ziyan's spoiling since she was a child, and now she knows that she is scared if something happens?" You go tell her, let her go home and introspect, I won't see ......"

The guard was stunned for a moment, and said stiffly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Ziyan is crying on her knees, whoever pulls her will beat her, I have to see you." She...... She said that she had a relic given by the eldest princess, and asked Her Majesty to be kind to the eldest princess. ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned and muttered: "Xiuning's relics, could it be that gold medal for avoiding death?" ”

The emperor was in a trance for a while, and a heroic and pretty face inadvertently appeared in front of him, which was his favorite sister.
