Li Jing felt a little worried.
However, everyone else was overjoyed and felt extremely honored.
after all.
When Li Shimin recovered from his illness, he first thought of them and invited them to the night banquet, but other ministers were not qualified.
This is glory.
They were very proud, so they feasted happily.
Zhang Baoxiang was so happy that he completely forgot about lying about the military situation. He only felt that he had received the reward and the matter was over.
So he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you were ill. Now that you are well, I think of the old minister and others. It is really a surprise to the old minister and others."
Li Shimin smiled and said: "You are all the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty and the ministers of the Tang Dynasty. I think of you all the time."
Everyone enjoyed it very much and felt radiant.
However.
Li Jing felt more and more that something was wrong, and felt that Li Shimin was too nice today.
I usually bring a civil servant here because I don't want them to be too close to each other as military commanders.
but.
Li Jing could not imagine what kind of medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd.
I'm just worried about whether the things I deceived and concealed from my superiors will come to light.
Li Shimin, Zhang Baoxiang and others were having a banquet, chatting all the time, praising them so much that they were all in high spirits.
Later.
Li Shimin suddenly sighed.
Zhang Baoxiang heard this and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, why are you sighing?!"
Hou Junji was also puzzled and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to worry about, let us take care of it for you."
All the soldiers nodded one after another, patting their chests and promising with red faces that Li Shimin would take off all the moons in the sky.
Li Jing was also a little drunk at this time, because Li Shimin behaved so well that he gradually let down his guard.
At this time, although there was no assurance like Zhang Baoxiang and others, it was still a caring inquiry.
"If your Majesty is troubled by anything, please let me know. I am willing to die for your Majesty."
Li Shimin sighed again, but Zhang Baoxiang and others scratched their heads anxiously, thinking that Li Shimin was a bit of a mother-in-law.
but.
I don't dare to be rude.
After Li Shimin sighed again and again, he said: "I have actually been scolded by my father these past few days."
The Great Emperor?!
Everyone was stunned.
Why does it have to do with the Supreme Emperor again?!
but.
They all felt that since it concerned the Supreme Emperor, they could not interfere too much in this matter, so everyone who had been shouting about beating and killing stopped at this time.
Hou Junji and Li Daozong did not dare to say a word, and Li Jing, a boring gourd, even lowered his head.
Only Zhang Baoxiang wanted to express himself and was about to curse his mother, but he was glared at by Li Jing and immediately withered.
If you dare to scold the Supreme Emperor, it is no different from scolding Li Shimin.
When father and son have conflicts and complain, it doesn't matter what they do behind closed doors.
As a minister, if you dare to scold the Supreme Emperor, you are seeking death.
Li Shimin originally did something unfilial. In order to give the world the illusion that he was actually very filial, it was necessary to protect the Supreme Emperor.
Seeing that the scene was quiet, Li Shimin sighed again.
Someone has to answer the call.
Fortunately, Li Daozong spoke and said: "Your Majesty, if it belongs to the Emperor, it would be difficult for us to get involved. But, what did the Emperor say to you? You are so angry that you are sick."
Li Shimin said: "My father actually didn't say anything unpleasant. It's not that he scolded me to pieces, but that his words aroused me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became interested.
Li Daozong said: "Your Majesty, may I ask what you mean?!"
Li Shimin was waiting for his words, and then said: "Father, I have said that I am not upright, so I was forced to ascend the throne by the soldiers, so that I can serve the dragon."
Li Daozong and others were immediately startled.
Zhang Baoxiang, Li Jing and others were also sober for the most part, and all of them couldn't help but stand up.
If it hadn't been the Supreme Emperor who said those words, they would probably have killed him with a thousand swords.
How can you say such estrangement and heart-breaking words?!
Li Shimin seemed not to notice their attitude, but said slowly: "Well, I refuted him at first, but after thinking about it later, it seems that what my father said makes sense."
"I want to be the emperor, the soldiers want to be promoted to a higher rank, and finally I ask my father to abdicate to the throne. You can help me. This is all natural."
Li Jing and the others were sober from the wine. At this time, everyone was stunned and at a loss.
What happened to the emperor that he spoke so horribly every day?
Li Daozong was also shocked, "Your Majesty, you have drunk too much."
Li Shimin said: "I actually didn't drink much, because I am always scared when I think about my father's words these days."
This almost caused Li Jing and others to collapse.
One by one, they knelt on the ground again and said: "Your Majesty, we are loyal and firmly support your Majesty."
Li Shimin said: "Yes, hey, why are you kneeling down and getting up, get up, do you have to help me help you up one by one?!"
Then he got up and helped everyone up.
He staggered and almost fell, but was helped by Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang. Li Shimin grabbed their arms and asked them to help him to his position.
Li Shimin said slowly: "I couldn't sleep all night. You supported me in the past because of the merits of the dragon. But have I treated you badly? Will I let you support those who don't treat you badly?!"
thump!
Zhang Baoxiang and Li Jing knelt down again, and they were frightened.
Li Shimin said this so quietly that Hou Junji, Li Daozong and others might not be able to hear it, but they heard it clearly, as if they were struck by lightning.
Li Jing knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you have been so kind to us, how could you treat me badly?!"
Zhang Baoxiang was also panicked and said: "Your Majesty, have you heard some rumors? We are all loyal."
Li Shimin patted their shoulders and said: "I see, then I must have gone astray and doubted you."
"It's all my fault that I listened to the rumors and believed that you lied about the military situation. I think the Yi people did indeed send out 50,000 people to attack you."
hiss!
Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang were immediately stunned.
Especially Zhang Baoxiang, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He could hardly listen to what Li Shimin said next.
It wasn't until Li Shimin helped the two of them up and returned to their seats that they suddenly woke up.
He got up and knelt down again, kowtow and apologize.
Li Shimin said: "I'm tired, you all go back. I believe in you. You will not support others, nor will you be supported by others and replace me."
Then he glanced at Li Daozong and said: "Daozong, you said at the beginning that you no longer want to be in charge of the army of Rencheng. I can't treat you badly. It just so happens that Li Jingqi has retired and returned to his hometown. There is a vacancy in the Ministry of Punishment. You can fill it tomorrow.
"
Then he waved his hand, bringing the matter to an end.
Although everyone was kowtowing here, he ignored them and disappeared deep into the palace.
Li Jing and others were left in a state of confusion, looking dull and at a loss.
Hou Junji frowned and said: "What do you mean by your majesty? Are you afraid that we will support our own troops or establish a new emperor?"
On the contrary, Li Daozong was very relaxed and said: "Perhaps, hehe, everyone knows how His Majesty obtained the throne. Don't be surprised if he has such thoughts."
Hou Junji fell silent.
Zhang Baoxiang said: "But how can His Majesty be willing to believe us? Do you want us to offer our heads?!"
Li Daozong hated the fact that iron cannot be made into steel and said: "You guys are just confused. Isn't this king a good example?!"
Then he walked away laughing.
Everyone looked at his leaving figure and were stunned for a moment, and then seemed to be awakened, and everyone was stunned.
The next day.
Li Shimin finally went to court.
Moreover, after he came to court, he began to reward Li Jing and Zhang Baoxiang, and rewarded them again for their contribution in quelling the Turks.
Many people were very envious, and Wei Zheng and others strongly opposed it, but Li Shimin insisted on going his own way and still wanted to reward him.
Wei Zheng directly threatened him with death and made the situation impossible to get over.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Li Jing knelt down and presented a resignation letter with both hands.
Everyone was immediately stunned.
Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, I would like to resign."
Li Shimin said: "No, absolutely no. Both I and the Tang Dynasty depend on the Duke. If you are resigning at this time, is it because you feel that my reward is not generous enough?!"
"Come here, give me a reward for General Sikong..."
Li Jing interrupted Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, that's no need. I'm old, and the young children at home are not doing well. I intend to resign, just to enjoy my old age."
All the officials were stunned.
But this is not enough.
Next, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, Zhang Baoxiang, the deputy general manager of Dingxiang Road, and Li Daoyan, the general of the left, resigned one after another.
They all submitted their resignations.
All the officials were stunned.
At this moment, they all realized that something big had happened that they didn't know about.
Even Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others were stunned, their eyes were panicked and confused, and they didn't know what was going on.
The people who resigned were all generals, and most of them were people who were invited to drink by Li Shimin last night.
Last night, they were all jealous people in Chang'an.
Today, many people have resigned.
There was no ghost involved, and they didn't believe it.
However.
None of them noticed that Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt very happy.
"Master Celestial Master is really a true immortal in this world. This move not only hurts your heart, but also releases your military power with a glass of wine."
"I have to find a way to give him a king with a different surname, but I don't know if he will accept it!?"
but.
There is still one person who has not resigned, and that is Hou Junji.
