If Li Shimin had not seen a copy of Li You's diary, he would not have been able to hear Li You's inner thoughts.
Then he will definitely think that Li You, like all the officials in the imperial court, is an out-and-out dandy, lazy, uneducated and incompetent prince who hangs around in music circles!
but!
He has a copy of Li You's diary in his hand and can see what Li You is thinking!
After repeated confirmations, Li Shimin is now convinced that Li You is not a playboy and useless prince at all!
on the contrary!
Li You is actually an all-rounder with courage, strategy, talent and insight!
Facing top assassins, be able to remain calm and brave in the face of danger!
Facing the people of the world, he can work hard to find the potato god!
In the face of national security dangers, you can see things clearly and come up with great ideas!
Such a talent is definitely a top adviser when it comes to making suggestions.
Such a talent must be an outstanding general if he can lead troops in war.
He was a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, and he was his own son. How could Li Shimin not love him?
Just take Luo Yi's rebellion as an example. If Li You hadn't told Luo Yi in advance that Luo Yi's men were dissatisfied with him and Luo Yi's army was cut off from food and grass, this rebellion would never have subsided so quickly.
One by one, Li Shimin's view of Li You changed drastically. Because of this, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji's impeachment of Li You at this moment is extremely ridiculous!
Changsun Wuji's mouth was dry as he spoke, and he listed several of Li You's major crimes in detail.
Li Shimin stood up and walked back and forth, seeming to be thinking about something.
This made Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and other ministers secretly happy. Generally speaking, His Majesty would only think like this when he had to make a major decision. In their opinion, this was His Majesty thinking about how to make decisions. Punishing King Li You of Yan.
Soon, Li Shimin spoke and said directly:
"I plan to let King Yan Li You officially open a palace at the former palace of King Qin, and also appoint General Zuo Wuwei!"
boom!
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others, who were all planning to shout loudly to His Majesty, their heads were buzzing!
Don’t you want to punish King Yan?
Why does this sound more like a commendation?
The prince opened his palace and was appointed General Zuo Wuwei. What a look! It was clearly a proper reward!
Did their ears hear it wrong?
But when several ministers at the scene looked at each other, they were all convinced that they had heard correctly.
Your Majesty really wants King Yan to open a prince's palace in Chang'an and appoint him as General Zuo Wuwei!
How could the ministers agree to this!
King Yan is usually a playboy and lazy, and they are not willing to let King Yan continue to go to court to discuss affairs, let alone serve as General Zuo Wuwei who holds military power!
Although General Zuo Wuwei is the third rank, and cannot be compared with the first rank of the prince, don't forget that the prince is just a privileged nobleman who enjoys glory and wealth, but once he becomes a general with military power, it will be different immediately. Already.
With King Yan's dandy character, he might even lead a group of men, armed with swords and guns, directly into their mansion one day and kill them.
How is this possible? Absolutely not!
Changsun Wuji was so frightened that his back was sweating. He stepped forward with a lunge and knelt down heavily on the ground with a thud. "I, Changsun Wuji, give me my deadly advice!!!"
Wei Zheng followed closely, knelt down, and said loudly: "I will die to remonstrate with you!"
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other and knelt down, "I will give you my advice!"
With the big bosses in front leading the team, the remaining ministers also knelt down and said, "I beg your Majesty to think again!"
Li Shimin was not angry when he saw this, and slowly sat down, leaned back again, and said with a smile:
"The emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty get along harmoniously with each other. I, Li Shimin, am not an emperor who is arbitrary, does not listen to loyal advice, and kills loyal ministers indiscriminately. Don't just talk about whether you will die or not. If you have any opinions, please raise them, and I will listen to them."
After speaking, Li Shimin motioned to Changsun Wuji, who was the first to kneel down, to speak first.
"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji first expressed grief and anger, then said: "The virtues of King Yan are seen by all the officials in the court. You can ask any official in the court at will, and you will never get a second answer!
"
"Your Majesty's heir is a prince, and he is supposed to set an example for the young people in the world. Now King Yan sleeps every day, has no talent and no virtue, how can he go to the court to participate in politics, open the prince's palace, and take up the post of General Zuo Wuwei!"
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not..."
After finishing these words in one breath, Changsun Wuji's face was already flushed, which Li Shimin saw and found a little funny.
"Speak out and I will forgive you!"
After hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji continued: "What I want to say is, Your Majesty, you are really confused! I really don't know where the sage monarch who led us to conquer the world has gone?"
As soon as these words came out.
The scene was completely silent. Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and the other ministers were shocked.
Even Changsun Wuji himself was shocked, and he regretted it in his heart. If he was given another chance, he would never say these words. There was no way, he was really shocked.
Although Changsun Wuji did not directly call Li Shimin a foolish king in his words, it was almost the same. If Li Shimin really wanted to be serious, he could have directly asked the guards to pull Changsun Wuji out and chop him down.
"My lord, Wei Zheng agrees with what Lord Changsun said."
Hiss~~
All the ministers suddenly took another breath of cold air.
They all thought to themselves, this Wei Zheng is really stubborn, maybe he will kill everyone!
The most angry person is Changsun Wuji. He should be very happy when someone supports his point of view, but now he is not happy at all. Wei Zheng's behavior is just adding fuel to the fire. Instead of helping him, it is clearly hurting him.
ah!
The next few seconds were the most painful for all the ministers in the Manna Palace.
No one wants to die while they are alive. Of course, as the founders of the country, they all thought about their own death, but they never thought that they would lose their wealth and life because of a dandy prince. This... is too...
It’s not worth it anymore.
How would the historian write this passage?
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and other ministers were jealous of King Yan, made slanderous remarks, and were executed???
Just when all the ministers were thinking a lot, Li Shimin, although he showed no expression on the surface, was secretly laughing in his heart.
"Every one of you is usually confident that you have extraordinary eyesight, can distinguish right from wrong, identify loyalties and traitors, and are knowledgeable about the past and present. Today, you are accusing yourself of being stupid and a fool!"
"But I am laughing at you. My eyes are deceived by Li You's dandy appearance. I cannot see or hear Li You's heart! His heart is filled with the world!"
"Hey~ You can't really know a person just by looking at his or her appearance. You guys... you're so small!"
Li Shimin was so proud at this moment that he even used some sentences from Li You's diary. Although these sentences were not very elegant and the meaning was too straightforward, they had a different feeling and were very catchy.
