Chapter 1253 - Doing things with the Tao, you can't stop it
Li Longji only felt a chuckle in his heart, and looked up, only to see a figure who didn't know when, but quietly appeared on the top of this hall, and the eyes that looked at him flashed with mockery and sarcasm. For more than 30 years, of course he would not recognize this Du Jiulang, who has always been radiant.
He once admired Du Shiyi's character, once appreciated Du Shiyi's talent, and once pleased Du Shiyi's military exploits...... However, as Du Shiyi's merits grew, especially after Ji Wen's failure in Yunzhou and his fierce countermeasures, his attitude changed. At the same time, he also acquiesced to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong secretly using means to pull people off the horse, so when the desert was in turmoil, he strictly ordered Shuofang and Hedong not to send troops, and watched the vast territory that was once part of the Tang Dynasty fall into smoke again, but in the end, Du Shiyi was safe and sound, but he was so wolf!
Du Shiyi just quietly entered the hall while the eyes of the ministers were all focused on the Son of Heaven and the movement at the entrance of the main hall. At this moment, he did not ignore etiquette, but in line with the purpose of the last time, he saluted Li Longji.
"In the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, His Majesty took the governance of the world as his own responsibility, and the government was clear, so there were many virtuous ministers, famous and famous, such as Yao Song and other predecessors, and the people are still talking about it. However, from the late Kaiyuan period, His Majesty belittled Zhang Jiuling, killed the crown prince Li Ying, the king of E, Li Yaoguang, and Li Ju on trumped-up charges, so that Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong These people will be prosperous for a long time. If you don't make your ministers polite, you don't have to be loyal! ”
Now is not the era when the autocratic centralization of power in later generations has reached its peak, and the whole people are servile, and there is no monarch and ministers who have to die, so as soon as Du Shiyi's last sentence came out, no one in the hall came forward to refute it for the Son of Heaven for a while. And Li Longji's face was almost so hideous that he was dripping blood under such a sharp reprimand. He forcibly suppressed the fishy sweetness surging in his throat, and said angrily, "You...... Daring! ”
"The minister is a secretary with a different surname, Mencius said, if the king has a fault, he will admonish, and if he does not listen to it repeatedly, he will go. At that time, Mobei was in turmoil, and after the minister was lucky enough to eliminate the enemy of Huangjiasi and returned, he had the intention of retreating, but at that time, he had already received the news of An Lushan's plot, so he advised him in blood, but His Majesty asked himself, did he have a moment to take it to heart after receiving it? The thief rebelled, and His Majesty did not take his sins for himself, but because the thief played the banner of supporting the prince, he killed the prince of Yisu, and harmed the two sages of Guangping and Jianning, if you add the prince Li Ying, the king of E, Li Yaoguang, the king of Li Ju, who was just ordered to recruit the marshal, and Li Wan, the king of Rong, who was inexplicably killed because he was framed, and Li Yan, the king of Di, who died for the crime of witch disgust, since His Majesty has always compared himself with the famous monarch of the ages, let me ask the ancient and modern sages, how can they treat their children and grandchildren like this? ”
"For example, Emperor Taizong exiled the abolished prince Chengqian, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, chased but did not kill, for the king as his father, showing benevolence, His Majesty has always thought that his achievements are chasing Taizong, but what he can learn is only a little bit of skin from His Majesty Taizong! His Majesty himself is to force the emperor to retreat to the palace, so he can be pro-government, so to prevent children and grandchildren from being like thieves, and the virtuous ministers and good generals are also able to start and finish well in the early years, but gradually let the cool officials run rampant, and the virtuous people rarely have a good end. For example, Wang Zhonghei worked diligently in Hedong, and repeatedly admonished Helong not to take Shibao City and did not listen, so he risked his life to attract the main force of Tubo, so that Shibao City went down in a battle, but His Majesty Xià not only imprisoned the seriously injured ministers, but also punished the cool officials, and denounced the small county for inexplicable crimes. ”
Pei Kuan had already given Du Shiyi such harsh words to be stunned, and the martial arts ministers in the palace had their own tastes. What the Son of Heaven has done over the years has been almost perverse, but after more than ten years of Li Linfu being in power, the outspoken ministers have been killed with rods, executed by execution, exiled, and most of the remaining in the court are standing horses, not to mention being so blunt in front of the Son of Heaven, even in the music, no one dares to tear open the most unsightly truth under the coat of this prosperous world!
The princes and grandchildren have gone from the initial fear to the current hatred of the same enemy, thinking about the days when they were in prison over the years, and then thinking about the fact that most of the clans were either officials in the court after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, or lived in the history of assassination, many of them had a deep sense of identity with Du Shiyi for the first time. For the first time in so many years, someone has said a word of justice for them!
"Confucius said, with the Tao as the king, you can't stop. Mencius said, the secretary of the noble relatives, the king has a great mistake, then admonish; If you don't listen to it repeatedly, you will be transposed! Du Shiyi quoted many words of Confucius and Mencius for the first time today, and under the repeated accusations just now, he threw out the last killer move, and said in a deep voice, "Now in front of His Majesty, there are more than ten princes, hundreds of royal grandchildren, and they are all in the prime of life, and His Majesty is dying, and this time when the thief is in turmoil, he can't share the suffering with the people, can't trust the loyal ministers and good generals, does not reflect on the past, but repeatedly makes stupid moves, in the long run, the people in the court, the people in the world, all can't bear it!" The minister is here today to propose, by the five rank and above officials to elect the virtuous king, please Your Majesty xià Zen position, set up a new monarch! As for the minister, his name is the right minister, but he is actually leading the troops, and he will never interfere in this matter. ”
Boom –
The merciless rebuke in front of him was just an appetizer, but these last two sentences were like a strong storm that swept through the entire hall.
If it is placed in the two Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the ministers set up a new monarch, this is simply commonplace, as common as eating and drinking; If this is put in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the future, the minister should be on this, and I don't know how many defenders will criticize and write, crying and grabbing the ground, and the person who proposed this proposal was either drowned by the spitting stars or attacked by the crowd; Even in the Song Dynasty, which ruled the world with scholars and doctors, because the status of the rulers and scholars was nominally improved and reduced in substance, no one dared to risk the world's disapproval; Only in the Tang Dynasty, Jing Hui and other five ministers killed two Zhang, and only a few decades passed since Feng Zhongzong ascended the throne, and the change of the throne from generation to generation was almost accompanied by bloody coups. After all, what Du Shiyi said is that Zen is located in the virtuous king, not Zen in himself!
The Son of Heaven should have abdicated a long time ago!
Li Longji stared blankly at the situation of completely losing control, watching the ministers of civil and military affairs talking to each other, many people's faces showed expressions of approval or excitement, as for the clans, they even made up a pile of threes and threes, and even hooked each other's shoulders without shying away from it, and that arrogant attitude clearly regarded him as a dead man. It was not easy to send sporadic opposition, but it was quickly drowned out by the drum noise of my election of a certain king. For a moment, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and finally he could no longer support his scarred body, so he fainted on the throne.
Du Shiyi, who was watching coldly, was the first person to notice that the Son of Heaven had fainted, however, he did not make a sound, and his eyes swept over those who were uncontrollably excited. This huge bait is enough to teach people to go crazy, and as the initiator, he can stand by and watch. He finally glanced at Li Longji, who had been ignored by everyone, including those eunuchs, and quietly walked to the passage at the edge of the main hall. However, before he could disappear without a trace, his sleeve was pulled by someone.
"Junli, you have set off such a big storm, but you want to leave?"
Without looking back, Du Shiyi knew that it was Pei Kuan who was chasing behind him. He quietly turned his head and pulled back his sleeves, and saw that the civil and military ministers who were discussing it vigorously did not notice their pair of Xiangguo, who dominated the political affairs hall, he said with a smile: "Since Brother Pei refuses to let me go, why don't you and I go to the political affairs hall for a drink or two?" ”
Pei Kuan was almost annoyed by Du Shiyi's understated tone. His eyes widened, and he was about to sneer at each other, when he suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look. When he found that the Son of Heaven on the throne had fallen and crooked, he suddenly changed color, and then grabbed Du Shiyi's wrist again.
"No matter how much fault His Majesty has, he cannot be allowed to do so and no one will pay attention to it. You and I escort His Majesty back to the palace, as for the others, let them go back first, even if they are promoted, it is not a matter of one moment today! ”
Du Shiyi smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Pei!" ”
As Pei Kuan pulled Du Shiyi to the throne of the Son of Heaven in a hurry, he condescendingly announced that he would go down to the court today, and the matter of the recommendation would be announced to the world in a clear text, and then he called the inner servants to send Li Longji back to the palace. For the first time in their lives, they ignored the Son of Heaven who ruled the world with Jiuchen, but there were only a few people who felt guilty in their hearts, and most people felt only one thing, that is, they were relieved.
When the hundred officials and the clan went out of the diligent government affairs building, they found that the square in front of the building did not have the imaginary scene of a battle like a forest, and the soldiers and horses were densely packed, only those low-grade officials who were too low to be qualified to enter the palace were talking about something in a pile of porridge. At this time, Li Li, the king of Nanyang who came back with Du Shiyi, was remembered, and he was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, all of whom were asking him about Du Shiyi's return to Beijing.
And this emperor, who escaped a catastrophe and thought that he was very virtuous, faced many questions, but only briefly explained Du Shiyi's measures for the main forces of the three armies of Hedong, Shuofang, and Anbei, and finally sighed meaningfully.
"The people who came back with Marshal Du this time are only the elites of the three towns, a total of 6,000 people, because they have not been ordered, and they are temporarily stationed outside Chang'an City! Marshal Du didn't know how much it took to persuade a military disaster, the eldest father was so stupid, it was too chilling for the people of the world! ”
