Chapter 535: The Son of Heaven is Very Angry and the Consequences Are Serious
Others don’t know the details of Lu Chenglie’s letter to Emperor Zhenguan, but they do know the general content. It is nothing more than a plea for mercy to Changsun Wuji and others. On the one hand, he puts the main fault on himself.
, and on the other hand, it also explained that the officials in Xuande Palace did not think of being superior to the royal family, etc., etc., and it spread among the people in an instant. In Chang'an City, there was an uproar immediately. Some people lamented, and some ridiculed.
Some were shaking their heads and sighing, others were crying, and so on, all appeared in Chang'an City. However, as the main participants in the matter, several ministers of Xuande Hall, such as Changsun Wuji, etc., collectively lost their voices.
Those involved in the incident, such as Prince Lu Chenglie, King of Wei Lu Chengtai and others, also closed the palace doors and no longer appeared in front of the officials. If it were not for Cen Wenwen, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng in the Xuande Hall, the entire Tang Dynasty would have been
The state affairs of the dynasty have to be stopped. However, although the state affairs of the Tang Dynasty are barely running, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty understands that this storm is coming. What will be the outcome of the several ministers in the Xuande Hall? The prince
Whether His Highness's letter of condolences will have any effect depends on the emperor in the distance. For a while, even Lu Dongzan and others who were staying in the post house stopped their activities, waiting for the end of this storm.
As a result, the unstable situation in the Tang Dynasty was a good thing for Lu Dongzan. He stayed in the post house all day long and was not in a hurry to file a report with the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, as if there was no such thing.
, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have forgotten this matter, and allowed the other party to live in the post house. In an instant, the city of Chang'an seemed to calm down, but those who were interested understood that the Tang Dynasty at this time had long been turbulent secretly.
.It’s just that the head of all this is far away, still in the body of Emperor Zhenguan, who is far away in Luzhou.
"It's so stupid. It's so audacious." In the Luzhou palace, Lu Zhaoci slammed the report in front of him on the ground with a gloomy expression. Qin Jiudao and others around him did not dare to breathe.
In fact, when Qin Jiudao handed over this memorial, he already knew the result. He was also shocked by the boldness of Changsun Wuji and others. They actually ordered the prince in the name of Xuande Palace. Throughout the ages,
There has never been such a thing, maybe it has happened, it was also in the troubled times, or when the ministers were in power, Huo Guang deposed the emperor, Wang Mang seized the Han, etc. It had never happened in the Tang Dynasty. This eldest grandson
What did Wuji want to do? Did he also want to seize the imperial power? He actually asked Wei Wang Lu Chengtai to be the welcoming messenger. Even if the Wei Wang made countless mistakes, it would not be Changsun Wuji's turn to punish him. Above him, there is no way to punish him.
As the emperor, how could Changsun Wuji have the right to make such a decision? The same goes for Wang Gua, Wei Ting and others. Do you really think that your majesty is wise enough to allow his ministers to do many things? Is it true that your majesty’s
Tolerance should be treated as weakness and can be bullied. No wonder the emperor would be so angry. Doesn't this mean that the emperor is not looked down upon?
"Is there any document coming from Xuande Hall?" Lu Zhaoci's faint voice suddenly sounded in the hall. There was no expression at all in the voice, but it still made people shudder. Others couldn't help but shudder.
I didn’t know that Qin Jiudao was like this.
"I have reported back to Your Majesty that the memorial from Xuande Hall has not arrived yet." Qin Jiudao quickly said cautiously: "It is probably because Xuande Hall's feet are relatively slow that it has not arrived yet. Jin Yiwei has fast horses, so naturally he can arrive faster.
In the hands of His Majesty."
"Where is the prince?" Lu Zhaoci suddenly said calmly: "Don't he have any documents to send?"
"It's probably not here yet." Qin Jiudao said cautiously: "After all, this matter is of great importance, and even His Highness the Crown Prince has to seriously consider it, so there is no memorial yet."
"Yes! He needs to think about it seriously!" Lu Zhaoci said calmly: "This matter has a lot to do with him. God knows if he was the instigator of this matter. Hey, he actually asked the royal family's children to welcome the guests.
People, more importantly, asked the ministers of Xuande Palace to issue orders. What kind of behavior is this? Are you preparing to order the royal family? Or do you want to bully my son? If you can bully my son today, you can bully me tomorrow.
I'm sorry!" Lu Zhaoci said so heart-wrenchingly that Qin Jiudao's face turned extremely pale with fright, but he didn't know how to answer.
"What, is it hard to answer?" Lu Zhaoci sneered: "I also know that it's hard for you to answer. After all, this matter involves His Highness the Crown Prince. Look, I'm not dead yet! I wish all those brothers were dead.
Yes. Will I kill all my descendants for the sake of a prince like him?", "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty asked this servant to say it, then I have the courage to say it." Qin Jiudao's face turned red.
, suddenly fell to his knees on the ground and said loudly: "According to what I know about His Royal Highness, this is not the way His Highness is. If His Highness really wants to get rid of King Wei, he will use countless ways, and the simplest one is
After ascending to the throne, an imperial edict will be able to kill His Highness King Wei, and he will not be exposed himself and let Your Majesty know. As long as he does not do anything treacherous and unethical, I dare to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty, will you depose the crown prince?
? Since the position of the Crown Prince will not be abolished, it means that His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely ascend the throne in the future, and everything King Wei has done is in vain. In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince will not take action at this time, and he will not take action at this time.
To do such a thing and ask the King of Wei to go to greet the Tibetan envoys, this is not only a slap in the face of the King of Wei, but also a slap in his own face, and even a slap in the face of the royal family. How could His Highness the Crown Prince do this?
This unwise thing came about. The slave's guess is that it was a decision made by Lord Changsun and others privately. The purpose was also very simple, just to get rid of an opponent for His Royal Highness. As for whether he wanted to put Xuande Palace in
Above the imperial power, that is not something that the servant can consider. But when it comes to the prince's unfilial piety and ambition, the servant thinks it is untrustworthy.", "You servant, did you accept a gift from the prince and ask you to stand for him?
Speak?" Lu Zhaoci pondered for a long time and kicked Qin Jiudao hard. But Qin Jiudao was relieved in his heart. The emperor's ability to say this can only explain one problem, that is, the emperor
I have accepted my own advice and believe that His Highness the Crown Prince was not involved in this matter.
"How dare a slave accept a gift from His Highness the Crown Prince? What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince will not give property to a slave." Qin Jiudao quickly explained.
"You eunuch, get up and talk!" Lu Zhaoci said with a smile: "What kind of reaction do you think the prince will have at this time? Is it to plead for Changbie Wuji, or is he to ignore it and stay out of it?
?”
"I'm just a servant who dare not discuss state affairs." Qin Jiudao rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "But I think that no matter what His Highness the Crown Prince does, it can't change the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince is closely related to this matter.
Even if Changsun Wuji and others did not discuss this matter with His Highness the Crown Prince, or in other words, His Highness the Crown Prince did not know about it, the Crown Prince would be blamed for this matter both inside and outside the court because it was also involved.
To the King of Wei." Although Qin Jiudao did not tell the secret, he also named the power of it.
"Haha, if we are saved, someone in the court will definitely write a letter saying that Changsun Wuji is suspected of plotting to usurp the throne. The prince's actions are even more intentional to destroy the brothers. But if we are not saved, no matter what Changsun Wuji and others do,
Although he was thinking about this matter, it would not change the fact that the final beneficiary of this matter was His Highness the Crown Prince. But now that something happened, His Highness the Crown Prince still stood aside and ignored his uncle, father-in-law, and his family.
"I'm afraid no one will serve His Highness the Crown Prince in the future. So whether he saves or not, it will be a big blow to the Crown Prince." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I
It is not unreasonable for this son to be praised as the most knowledgeable person in the royal family." "In fact, I think that the most important thing now is not His Highness the Crown Prince, but the Xuande Palace." Qin Jiudao reminded carefully:
"Since Changsun Wuji and others have gathered a document to order His Majesty the King of Wei," one day, they can also directly order His Majesty! This is the most important thing. His Majesty is the founder of the country. Maybe they don't have the courage, but for future generations,
Where is the emperor? That may not be possible."
"Xuande Hall?" Lu Zhaoci had a look of thought on his face, and after a while he waved his hand and said: "Go down first! See if the prince's memorial is coming. If it comes, send it up immediately.
","I obey the order.",Qin Jiudao quickly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, will we set off tomorrow?"
"What activities are the Tibetan envoys and the people from the five southwest tribes doing in Chang'an? Is there any news from the Jinyi Guards?" Lu Zhaoci asked with a frown.
"They are very honest in the capital, probably because they feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere in the capital these days, so they dare not move." Qin Jiudao suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said with a smile: "I heard a joke.
, the leader of the Heman tribe lost the tribute he paid to His Majesty. Are you still trembling in fear now?"
"Oh! What treasure did the Heman tribe lose?" Lu Zhaoci asked in surprise.
"The Heman tribe is rich in swans, and this is what I will pay tribute to Your Majesty this time." Qin Jiudao said with a smile: "The envoy was careful along the way, for fear that something would happen to the swan. When he arrived in Shuzhong,
Discovering a beautiful lake, the messenger wanted the swan to come out for some air, so he carefully took the swan out and put it in the lake to let it drink water. However, he never thought that once the swan got out of the cage, it would spread its wings and fly.
After leaving, the poor messenger was holding a few white feathers in his hands, standing on the shore wanting to cry without tears! Even if he wanted to return to the tribe to catch another one, it was too late in time, so he could only take a few with him.
A goose feather came to Datang. Among the six people, I am afraid he is under the greatest pressure."
"What do you know? This is called etiquette, but affection is more important. People came all the way to Chang'an to bring me a swan that is rarely seen in the Central Plains. This kind of emotion is really touching. How can you laugh at me?
What?" After hearing this, Lu Zhaoci also showed a smile on his face and said: "What is the name of the leader of the Heman tribe? Did he come in person this time?", "To answer your Majesty, it was he who came in person.
.It’s called noble.” Qin Jiudao said quickly.
"This man is quite good. If you pass on my decree, I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and fifty pieces of silk." Lu Zhaoci thought for a moment and said, "When you have time, let Fang Xuanling meet him!", Qin
Jiudao's eyes lit up and he quickly responded. Although Lu Zhaoci only said a short sentence, Qin Jiudao, the spy chief, heard a lot of things in it. Gao Shang's attitude made Lu Zhaoci
The impression was very good." The reason why Emperor Zhenguan wanted to reward him was not only because he was very friendly to the Tang Dynasty." More importantly, it was because Emperor Zhenguan set an example among the five southwest tribes and alienated the five southwest tribes.
"The army of the Tang Dynasty" is a strange place. If the Tang Dynasty wants to pacify the five southwest tribes, the first thing to do is to establish a foothold in the five southwest tribes. The Heman tribe, which is friendly to the Tang Dynasty, is undoubtedly a good choice.
Choice. If the Tang Dynasty wants to attack the five southwest regions in the future, the Heman tribe will play a very important role. For the same reason, Lu Zhaoci originally wanted to use troops against Goguryeo in the northeast, choosing a pro-Tang country in Goguryeo, and then
Use infiltration and other means to spread the reputation of the Tang Dynasty step by step, and then look for opportunities to eliminate the other party. The same principle is used to deal with the five southwest tribes now, alienate the five southwest tribes, then split the five southwest tribes, send troops to the southwest, and kill
He lost one arm of Tubo and attacked Tubo from both sides, completely reversing the unfavorable situation of Tang Dynasty against Tubo. Of course, all this was not what Qin Jiudao paid attention to. What he paid attention to was the emperor's last words, asking Fang Xuanling to see Gao Shang
, this is a big problem. It can be said that Heman tribe will be a very important strategic ally for Datang in the future. Logically speaking, Cen Wenwen should be allowed to be the best, but Fang Fang
Xuanling went there, which is enough to explain the problem. It seems that Xuande Palace is going to make big moves this time.
"I will take care of it right away," Qin Jiudao quickly retreated.
"Also, don't worry about the itinerary." Let them wait! Anyway, they won't be in a hurry." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said: "I want to see the people of the Tang Dynasty and inspect the country of the Tang Dynasty.
." Qin Jiudao nodded." Then he retreated cautiously. He was thinking in his heart that patrolling the world is certainly one thing, but more importantly, it is to buy time for the Tang Dynasty, even if it is a few months.
OK.
Even if the other party knew that they were delaying, they had no choice but to wait in Chang'an City for Lu Zhaoci's arrival.
"Your Majesty, you are thoughtful." At night, in the palace, Cui Yingying nestled on Lu Zhaoci's shoulder, with a hint of love in her eyes, and traces of the aftermath of the relationship on her pretty face.
"Yes." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "I don't know what to do about the prince's matter? And these people in Xuande Hall, I don't know if I give them too much power." Lu
Zhaoci sighed deeply, told the story about Beijing, and then sighed again.
"I think there is nothing wrong with what the Crown Prince did." Cui Yingying thought for a moment and then said: "The matter of inheriting the ancestor is before us. If he ignores King Wei's provocation, the ministers in the court will
How will they view him, and King Wei will continue to provoke him because of this, just like Li Shimin back then. At that time, there might be another Xuanwumen Incident, and how will your Majesty deal with himself like this?", "
Yes! I know that those who serve the king must be ruthless, but the situation in front of me is not like this. The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh! Back then, I let Chengzu fake his death and let his wife live peacefully at the foot of Wuyi Mountain
, that's it. Although this son Chengtai is a little less ambitious, he is still my descendant." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "I am still an emperor in the world now, but once I am no longer the emperor, or
If he dies one day, will all my sons be killed by Chenglie?"
"This shouldn't happen!" Cui Yingying's voice was very low. Obviously, even she was not sure about this kind of thing. Not to mention the supreme position in the world, even the patriarch of a family, he also used all methods. Brothers can do it too.
Drawing swords against each other, not to mention that now he is the supreme position in the world. If you ascend this position, you will be the supreme ruler of the world. Who can be exempted from the secular world? This time Lu Chengtai gave Lu Chenglie a problem. God knows what Lu Chenglie will think in his heart, but one thing is
What is certain is that Lu Chenglie must be very uncomfortable in his heart. No one wants to think that his opponent will still be alive and well.
"There is also Xuande Hall." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "Are Changsun Wuji and others eager to get rid of Lu Chengtai, or is it that the power of Xuande Hall is so great that they don't even know their own power?"
Where is the position? Look, even the prince dares to give orders today, will he be able to give orders to the emperor in the future? Now I am the emperor, who will be in the future, Chenglie, my prestige is high, so they dare not
Order me, but what about future emperors? They have no military merits in their hands, and their prestige will also decrease over time among the officials and in the Xuande Hall, and they will be suppressed by the Xuande Hall. This kind of
The situation is not unheard of. The imperial power and the prime minister's power are complementary to each other, but they also restrain each other. When the imperial power is strong, the prime minister's power will be weakened. Now that I am the founder of the empire, they can make some small moves underneath.
Well, the future emperor will be awesome. I think this Changbie Wuji is really too arrogant, so arrogant that he doesn’t even know who he is." Cui Yingying on the other side stopped talking when she heard this. Maybe in her heart
