After the ministers heard Changsun Wuji's retort, they suddenly became excited and raised their hands and shouted: "Death remonstrance! Death remonstrance! Death remonstrance!!"
However, at this time, Fang Xuanling was still sitting calmly in the inner hall, seemingly disapproving of this move.
Naturally, Changsun Wuji saw this and hurriedly asked: "Xuanling, what does this mean? Is it possible that you really want to declare that decree?"
Fang Xuanling stood up slowly and said immediately: "It is hard to disobey the Holy Will. Although it is our duty as ministers to persuade His Majesty, it is our duty as ministers to respect His Majesty's will. Your eldest son, Wuji, must be a loyal and remonstrating minister."
, I don’t object, but you don’t want me to become a disloyal minister.”
"It is a fact that King Yan is a lazy man! But now that your Majesty has asked him to open the Prince's Palace, serve as General Zuowuwei, and join the government to participate in politics, then he can be the one!"
"I can only say that he has a good mother who plans for him like Concubine Yin!"
"The holy order cannot be violated! We have no other way to remedy it. If we force death to remonstrate, it will be like forcing the palace. The penalty is the same as treason! You should think carefully before doing this!"
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking word by word, he stopped talking nonsense with the ministers, stood up and left.
In fact, there is one thing he hasn't said yet. He finally climbed to the position of Zhongshu Ling of Zhongshu Province. His political ambitions have not yet been realized. He does not want to lose his official position because of this incident.
Following Fang Xuanling were Du Ruhui and several other ministers, who had obviously seen through the serious relationship between them.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling already regretted coming to Changsun Wuji. He originally thought it was a remedy, but he didn't expect Changsun Wuji to be so stubborn and wanted to remonstrate to death, and even brought his ministers to remonstrate.
You are totally looking for death!
Now he just wants to return to Zhongshu Province, draft the imperial edict, and publish it as soon as possible. At the same time, he also hopes that Li Shimin does not know what they discussed at the offline gathering. Even if he knows about the discussion at the gathering, he must not let the ministers and eldest grandson just know it.
Wuji's words reached Li Shimin's ears, otherwise it would still be a disaster.
As Fang Xuanling and several other ministers left.
The officials in the hall immediately began to waver.
"Lord Changsun, I think what Lord Fang said is unreasonable. Since it is what the Holy Emperor himself said, we'd better not go against it. Otherwise, we will offend the power of God and the consequences will be..."
"Yes! What does it mean to be a minister who disobeys the emperor?"
"Qi Guogong, please give up on the matter of death remonstrance!"
"Master Fang is right. I can only say that King Yan Li You has a good mother, who has such thorough plans for his son."
"Concubine Yin is usually very quiet, but she didn't expect that when she took action at the critical moment, everyone was shocked. It's amazing!"
"I originally thought that in the harem, only Queen Changsun and Concubine Yang were capable, but I didn't expect that there is also Concubine Yin. It seems that in the future, the harem will change from two strong powers to three powers."
.....
As the ministers took their leave one by one, Changsun Wuji was soon the only one left in the hall.
The first year of Zhenguan.
Li Shimin's imperial majesty was undoubtedly at its peak. At this time, no one among the thousands of ministers dared to truly disobey him!
After all, the blood stains on the Xuanwu Gate have not been washed away by the rain yet.
Li Shimin's magical bow is still accurate!
Changsun Wuji did not stop the officials from leaving, but he became sober.
Indeed, Fang Xuanling was right. If a group of ministers really came to remonstrate to death, even if it succeeded, then the head of his eldest son Wuji would probably not be saved.
An emperor will never let his majesty be compromised no matter what.
But Changsun Wuji was naturally unwilling to give up like this.
"It seems that we have to go to the Li Zheng Palace. If we want to deal with King Yan, we must know how Concubine Yin seduces His Majesty."
.....
Inside the Manna Hall.
Without the harassment from Changsun Wuji and others, Li Shimin began to deal with the piled up memorials again.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Ling came over and said, "Your Majesty, Deputy Director Li is here."
Li Shimin stopped writing and raised his head, "Tell me about Luo Yi's rebellion."
"Yes!" After Li Junxian saluted, he began to report on the suppression of Luo Yi's rebels.
"Your Majesty, after I arrived in Youzhou, I immediately used Baiqisi's hidden secrets in Youzhou and the Tianjie Army to determine the attitude of Luo Yi's subordinates Zhao Cihao and Yang Qi towards Luo Yi."
"how?"
Li Junxian shook his head, "An Zi collected information indicating that Zhao Cihao and Yang Wei are not dissatisfied with Luo Yi at all, but are extremely supportive of him."
Hearing this, Li Shimin burst out laughing, "You must have contacted these two people in person. At first, they still didn't show any dissatisfaction with Luo Yi. When you asked them to rebel against Luo Yi,
, they are still going to arrest you, right."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Li Junxian said quickly.
"Haha." Li Shimin smiled and continued: "Don't say it yet, let me continue."
"When they wanted to arrest you, you revealed your true identity. After confirming your identity, they had no intention of arresting you in front of Luo Yi. Instead, they began to sit down and discuss rebellion with you.
, am I right?"
"What your Majesty said is exactly what I experienced personally!" Li Junxian knelt on the ground and shouted in shock.
However, Li Shimin was also shocked in his heart. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what that boy Li You wrote in his diary. Could it be that he had clairvoyance and ears?
Li Shimin chuckled, "In the end, you persuaded the two of them to surrender. The two of them successfully killed Luo Yi, and the rebellion of the Tianjie Army was resolved."
Li Junxian immediately prostrated on the ground, "Your Majesty is divine! Invincible in the world!"
"Get up, I'll take credit for this." Li Shimin now completely believed what Li You wrote and thought in his diary.
Li Junxian stood up and continued to report: "Your Majesty, when I returned to Chang'an, I received a report from my subordinates that the Duke of Qi had gathered his officials at home..."
In addition to spying on military affairs, Baiqisi also had the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials. Naturally, the gathering of ministers at Changsun Wuji's mansion could not be hidden from Baiqisi's eyes.
After listening to Li Junxian's report, Li Shimin nodded slowly and said with a smile: "These guys still have some self-awareness. Although I took off my armor and put on a yellow robe, I can still hold the hilt of the bloody blade to disloyal ministers at any time!
"
He was about to conquer the country immediately. The Imperial Road was made of countless corpses and blood. What he, Li Shimin, wanted to do could not be accomplished by relying on the advice of the officials.
"These guys are also people who have read a lot of poetry and books, and are rich in knowledge. Why are they so short-sighted? King Yan is obviously a talented person, but they can't see clearly. Those books are in vain."
Hearing Li Shimin's words.
The corners of Li Junxian's mouth twitched, trying not to laugh.
