Chapter 22: Innocent for greed for power, if not a minister should die
Changsun Wuji returned home nervously, a little confused, and couldn't figure out why Li Shimin made such a ridiculous statement at this time.
"Go and call Dalang!"
At this moment, Changsun Wuji believed no one except his son.
Even Chu Suiliang is in the honeymoon period.
If the people in the temple know that Li Shimin has the intention of being easy to save, the temple will be in a turmoil.
It just so happened that Changsun Chong lived in the mansion recently and asked someone to call him.
Changsun Chong hurried over and shouted, "Father!" and bowed.
Changsun Wuji nodded and replied, "Sit down." Then he asked, "What do Dalang thinks that King Li Ke of Wu?"
Changsun Chong was confused for a moment and said, "King of Wu Li Ke? Has he made His Majesty unhappy again?"
Changsun Chong's first reaction was that Li Ke was causing trouble again.
"No!" Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "The saint summoned his father to the palace today. He said that the current crown prince is not as kind as the one who is not responsible for the great responsibility. King Li Keying of Wu was like me, and intended to change him to the crown prince."
Changsun rushed forward and calmly, but when he heard the news, he was so scared that his face was pale and at a loss.
"This...this, what..."
He is talking nonsense and can't even speak.
Changsun Wuji was not surprised at all. Not to mention that his son had never experienced major changes, even his mind was blank at that moment.
Therefore, he did not urge him, but waited quietly on the side, but his hands couldn't help but loosen and tighten, and his uneasy emotions were also visible.
After a while, Changsun Chong recovered and his speech was not smooth: "What, how could it be him? Is the saint pretending to him?"
He really couldn't figure it out.
Li Shimin has many sons, and Li Ke is not the worst one.
The worst character is King Li Yan of Shu. This guy is a demon king who often beats officials for no reason. He likes to hunt and does not know how to restrain himself. He does not do anything wrong many times.
Li Shimin couldn't help but scold his son for being worse than beasts.
However, even if Li Yan broke the banker, beat the officials, and did something wrong, he would only remove half of his fiefs and state officials and demote them to the governor of Guozhou.
Li Ke is really much better than Li Yan. He just likes hunting and then cut off 300 households. The most bizarre thing is that he gambled with his wet nurse's son for the second time, and cut off 300 households, setting a precedent for the prince to be demoted to the governor.
The funny thing is that some officials are upset about Li Ke, saying that he is too harsh on Li Ke? Then Li Shimin wrote a letter to Li Ke with great righteousness, saying that being a father cares about you? So he doesn't want you to develop a arrogant and extravagant personality? This way he won't reward you with treasures and property, and acts as a strict father.
Then he gave Li Tai ten thousand pieces of goods as soon as he turned around...
If this wasn't the words of his father? Anyone would have regarded it as a joke.
Changsun Wuji said, "It can't be a pretender? If the saint really loves Li Ke? It's not that Li Ke will not allow him to return to Beijing. Your Majesty is as thoughtful as the sea? His actions must be intentional. He just didn't figure it out for a while for his father!"
Changsun Chong also frowned and said, "The saint summoned his father at that time?"
Changsun Wuji's heart moved slightly and said, "The only one is the father."
"That would be even more unreasonable. If you really want to discuss the matter of Yi Chu, Your Majesty is not in the temple? Not in the small hall? But in the inner room? What's even more unreasonable is that he only summoned his father? Didn't he know that no one could avoid selfishness? His father would not agree to the saint to change the prince other than Empress Wende's descendants as the crown prince!"
Changsun Wuji's expression did not change much. Others said he would definitely refute it, but Changsun Chong said it? It was a default.
This is the truth. Changsun Wuji claimed that he would never be ashamed of Li Tang in his life.
The crown prince is his sister's son? He can accept anyone and will do his best to protect him, but he will not agree to it if he changes it to someone else.
I and my sister gave everything for that man, and I really exchanged this result, even if I fought for the Changsun family to destroy the clan, I would not compromise.
Changsun Wuji suddenly figured it out, and he sighed: "Okay, Dalang, you go down. I know what to do for my father."
Changsun Chong looked puzzled.
Changsun Wuji said with some relief: "You don't need to know some things. For the father, I can only tell you that your aunt is entrusted to you. For the sake of the crown prince, Shunyang Prince, Chengqian and the other three, he tried his best and did everything."
Changsun Chong stopped asking more questions and bowed and retreated.
Changsun Wuji laughed at himself: "It's so stupid, I can't see through this for a while. How can a saint not see through my thoughts? He said he was alone in front of me, and wasn't he telling me that Li Ke is the enemy!"
The next day.
Chu Suiliang found Changsun Wuji with a confused look on his face.
"Situ, Your Majesty wrote a letter to the King of Wu today. It's very strange. I don't know what to do?"
Changsun Wuji's heart moved slightly, but his face was completely different, and he said, "The King of Wu is also a descendant of a saint. I haven't seen him for many years and have written letters. What's wrong with it?"
Chu Suiliang said: "This ordinary letter is not bad. But there is a sentence in the letter, "Although the father and son are close relatives and are even guilty, the laws of the world cannot be private. The Han Dynasty has established Emperor Zhao, but King Dan of Yan is not convinced, and the Yin Pao is inappropriate, Huo Guangzhe Jian punishes him. As a minister, you must be warned!" This statement is very strange and unknown to the people."
This is also the emperor's sorrow.
As an emperor, he naturally holds supreme power, but he is not so free in life.
Basically, when doing serious business, there are daily necessities who record every word and action.
This letter to your son also needs to be written through the Secretariat.
Chu Suiliang was a minister of the close servant, so the letters written by Li Shimin naturally had to be checked and leaked through him.
Changsun Wuji still said calmly: "The saint's body is strange. This is the saint's warning to the prince, which is reasonable."
Chu Suiliang looked at Changsun Wuji with some surprise and said, "Situ really doesn't think it's strange? The King of Wu had long demoted His Majesty to the Governor of Muzhou. Muzhou was the Governor of Xiazhou. The King of Wu had no soldiers in his hands. Even if the men in Muzhou were combined were less than 50,000, the saints wrote books to regard him as King Yan Dan? He warned him not to be rebellious? So many governors did not warn him and chose a governor. This letter was more appropriate than to King Wu! Although the King of Shang was not as good as the general, he was the veritable governor of Yangzhou."
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Okay, there is no need to worry about this matter. As for King Shang, don't think about what to do to him. Liu Shi's affairs have passed, so there is no need to investigate them."
"By the way!"
Changsun Wuji suddenly said cautiously: "The crown prince is my future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Remember eight words. Being greedy for power is not guilty, and not being a minister will die."
Chu Suiliang immediately shuddered and dared not say anything else.
