Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 27
On the second day of June, Tai Chi Palace and Liangyi Hall.

Wude Emperor Li Yuan frowned while holding Fu Yi's secret performance of Taishi Ling, feeling uneasy.

"Taibai Jingtian, King Qin rules the world."

This short sentence made Li Yuan even more restless.Fu Yi is Taishi Ling, which is an official position in the imperial court in charge of astronomy and calendar. He is the absolute authority on astronomy and astrology. No one is more professional than him.He studied for a long time, and gave such an explanation, how can Li Yuan feel at ease.

Fu Yi used to be Yicao under Yang Liang, king of the Han Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty. Before Yang Liang wanted to rebel, he asked Fu Yi, what is the sign of a woman falling into the well?Fu Yi said it was a disaster and advised him not to raise an army, but Yang Liang refused to listen and insisted on going his own way, and finally lost his army and died.

After Fu Yi was demoted to Fufeng as an official, Li Yuan just became the prefect of Fufeng and treated Fu Yi with courtesy. When Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, he called Fu Yi to Beijing to preside over the Taishi Bureau.

Li Yuan attaches great importance to Fu Yi, and not only regards him as an astronomical official, but on the contrary, he adopts most of Fu Yi's reform proposals on the government system, such as Fu Yi's suggestion to reduce officials, reduce punishment, and clean up temples against Buddhism Wait, Li Yuan accepted it.

After Fu Yi published "Please Abolish the Table of Buddhist Dharma" and "Please Abolish the Book of Buddhism", Li Yuan issued the "Edict of Sha Tai Buddhism and Taoism" to strictly control the spread of Buddhism.

Li Yuan firmly believed in what Fu Yi said.

At this moment, he has two choices.

The first is to obey the destiny, abolish the prince and build it, and change Qin Wang Shimin as the prince, so that Li Shimin can rule the world logically.

Although Li Yuan once had this idea several times, but after seven years of Wude, Li Yuan has finally made a decision. He doesn't want to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones, and he doesn't want to follow Yang Jian's old path.

The last choice left for him is to change his fate against the sky, get rid of the people of the world, and forcibly protect the construction.

Before Taibai Jingtian, Li Yuan had been planning to cut off King Qin's wings. Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other staff members of the Civil and Military Department of the Qin Dynasty were all transferred to the outside. He even talked to Qin Qiong in person, hoping that he would Stop supporting Semin.His final plan was to redesignate Li Shimin as king in central Shu after all his wings were wiped out.

But now that Fu Yi's memorial came out, Li Yuan suspected that he hadn't done enough.

Since the reappearance of Taibai yesterday, the situation in Chang'an, the capital, has become strange and inexplicable. During the day, it is very bustling and bustling, but at night, it is extremely serious and strict.

Soldiers, honored cavalry, came and went to patrol and guard, and there was an endless stream of guards.

Li Yuan could feel the undercurrent surging under the calm water.

Emperor Wude has been making constant edicts these two days, and he is making personnel adjustments in full swing. His confidant Prime Minister Pei Ji, with the position of Shangshu Zuopushe, has almost controlled the Shangshu Province. Because of his support for Li Shimin, he was listed by Li Yuan as being to be adjusted.

Because of his neutral attitude, Duke Feng Deyi of Mi State has been formally appointed by Li Yuan as Zhongshu Ling, and Pei Shiju has also been worshiped as the school inspector.

"Call Feng Deyi!"

Li Yuan read Fu Yi's memorial carefully again, and the word Qin Wang ruled the world deeply hurt him.

Li Yuan, who is just 59 years old this year, finds these words extremely dazzling.

Feng Deyi hurried to the Hall of Liangyi.

Li Yuan directly gave Fu Yi's secret performance to Feng Deyi to read.

"What do you think?" Li Yuan asked.

Feng Deyi's real name was Feng Lun, and he was about the same age as the emperor. He was the grandson of Feng Long, the Taibao of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the son of Feng Zixiu, the governor of Tongzhou in the Sui Dynasty.At the beginning, he was a staff member of Yang Su, the Duke of Yue. Because of his excellent work, he was valued by Yang Su. He married his niece and became an in-law. .

After surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he won the trust of Emperor Wude and became the emperor's in-laws.He was selected by Li Yuan as an official of the Tiance Mansion, but in fact Feng Deyi has always been the emperor's man.

As the Sima of Tiance Mansion, Feng Deyi offered many strategies of loyalty to Qin Wang Li Shimin, expressed his loyalty and made suggestions, which won Li Shimin's trust.And when he turned his head, he would tell the emperor the full details of his situation with Li Shimin.

Li Yuan thought that Feng Deyi was a minister who was loyal to him, but unexpectedly, Feng Deyi secretly communicated with the prince again, and secretly attached himself to the prince.

He made a three-way bet, making Li Yuan and his son think that he was his own.

At this time, facing the emperor's inquiry, Feng Deyi did not immediately express his position.

"Forgive me for your courage, may I ask if the family still has the idea of ​​easy storage?"

There are only two emperors and ministers in the Hall of Liangyi, and no servants are allowed to be around. Feng Deyi did not address his majesty, but used the short-term Zhaijia, which was called the emperor in private, by an insider in the palace, to show that he was also a close minister of the emperor.

Li Yuan looked solemn.

Sigh again and again.

"The people of the world have been very intelligent since they were young. Over the years, they have fought for the Tang Dynasty and made great achievements in battle. But this is exactly what I am worried about. I have read all the history, and the dynasty of civil officials must be long. The generation of Bingguo will surely collapse."

"The people of the world are good at military affairs, and they are rewarded for their military achievements. If they are used to govern the army, they must be good generals. However, if they are unified today, if they are used to govern the country, they may be in danger of militarism. On the contrary, he is slightly inferior to the people of the world in military affairs. , but over the years there has been no major negligence or omission in supervising and regenting the government, and he is kind and friendly by nature. What my Tang Dynasty needs more in the future is a civil court that can let the people recuperate. It needs a court of generals who fight endlessly year after year."

The Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were all courts of military generals. The military generals came and went from general to minister, and their descendants were hereditary, which created one general family and one family of martial arts, which also led to the short-lived dynasties in the Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasties.

Li Yuan hopes that Datang can go further and break this situation.

What makes Li Yuan even more uneasy is that what Li Shimin has shown now is not only military ability, but also his coveting of imperial power. Li Yuan seems to have seen Yang Guang from the previous dynasty in Li Shimin, and he also showed it when he was King Jin His generosity and benevolence, respect to the virtuous and corporal, the name of the virtuous king spread throughout the world, and he was supported by the court and the public. But after Yang Jian abolished the crown prince and established another, there were rumors that Yang Jian was killed by Yang Guang in the end instead of dying of illness. Re-established Yang Yong as the prince, but was killed by Yang Guang.

Once the virtuous king of the past became the empress, within a few years, the mighty Sui Empire was torn apart and completely destroyed.

Li Yuanji was worried that Li Shimin would be another Yang Guang.

"I don't want the people of the world to be promoted to the crown prince, and I don't want to hand over the world to him."

After Feng Deyi understood the emperor's intention, he asked for three edicts immediately.

"Your Majesty, please issue the first edict to abolish Admiral Tiance's mansion, and the second edict to abolish the King of Qin as a commoner and remove him from the positions of Taiwei, Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, etc. Gou Quan will not be allowed to leave Beijing for life. The third imperial edict is to be made by the crown prince to lead the ministerial decree, and to hold a meeting in the political affairs hall."

After hearing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded slightly. If he wanted to change his fate against the sky and forcefully protect the crown prince, then he had to control King Qin.

"My lord, please issue three more edicts. The first edict is for the North Gate Emperor Yuan Cong's Forbidden Army, ordering Chang He, Jing Junhong and other generals to immediately close the Chang'an City Gate and put the entire city under martial law."

"The second imperial edict ordered the Beiya soldiers and horses to guard the palace and blockade the palace city. The last imperial edict ordered the generals Qian Jiulong and Fan Xing to immediately lead their troops to surround Hongyi Palace and control King Qin."

Li Yuan's face was wrinkled. He didn't have that majestic and handsome face. He was born with three breasts, and his face was already wrinkled when he was young. He was also called mother-in-law's face by Yang Guang.

He knew very well that as long as he issued these six edicts as Feng Deyi said, then Li Shimin would never be able to stand up again, and would be completely trampled to the bottom of the mud.

However, Li Yuan is still considering the relationship between father and son, and the influence of the government and the public. After all, Li Shimin's current status and reputation, if he is abolished without sufficient reasons, I am afraid that it will cause criticism.

The most important thing is that in places other than Chang'an, there are still many old servants of the people who are in charge of the military and power.

Li Yuan still needs time to mobilize them one by one first, otherwise it will be easy to rush and cause chaos.

After much deliberation, Li Yuan did not fully agree with Feng Deyi's suggestion in the end, but only ordered the Beiya Imperial Army to seal off Miyagi, and ordered Beimen to station soldiers and horses to guard the Xuanwu Gate.

"Let Pei Ji send Fu Yi's memorial to Hongyi Palace for the people of the world to read."

Asking Prime Minister Pei Ji to show these memorials to Li Shimin was obviously intended to tell Li Shimin the emperor's attitude, and to make Li Shimin accept his fate honestly and not make any more moves.

Shangshu Sheng, Zuo Pushe Pei Ji had a smile on his face when he received the secret performance from Zhongshuling Feng Deyi.Pei Ji is the prime minister, and among the several prime ministers except Li Shimin, Zuo Pushe is actually the leader.As the emperor's Yuan Cong hero, he has always been the emperor's first confidant. If the emperor supports the prince, then he will support the prince.

He is different from Feng Deyi, he has never had any ambiguity with the King of Qin, and has always had a clear attitude, so if the King of Qin rules the world, then Pei Ji will never end well, and Feng Deyi may still have a role in Li Shimin's court A seat, but he can't.

Hongyi Palace.

Located in the North West Garden of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, King Qin originally lived in Chengqian Hall of Taiji Palace. In the fifth year of Wude, the emperor made a special gift to build Hongyi Palace for King Qin to live.

In fact, the Chengqian Palace is in Dainai, while the Hongyi Palace is in the remote inner garden to the west. It is not large in scale, and it is outside the palace city.

From Hongyi Palace to Taiji Palace, you have to go out of Fanglin Gate and then go around to Xuanwu Gate, or go south to enter the palace through the imperial city.

When Shangshu Zuopushe Pei Ji smiled and handed over this secret performance to Shangshu Ling Li Shimin, the usually heroic, elegant, heroic King of Qin instantly turned pale, and even trembled all over.

He held the memorial letter in a daze, and forgot to even say the word "Feng Chi".

Pei Ji looked at him with satisfaction, smiled and turned to leave.

a long time.

Changsun Wuji said, "My lord, Pei Ji has left."

"Oh."

Li Shimin responded, and the look of fear and fear was swept away, and his face was replaced with the look of absolute confidence before the war.

Changsun Wuji worried, "Unexpectedly, a memorial from Fu Yi will cancel all our previous plans. What should we do now?"

Li Shimin didn't panic in the slightest, the terrified look just now was just for Pei Ji to see.

"If this matter is not handled properly, it is estimated that the Emperor Yuan Cong's imperial army will surround Hongyi Palace before tomorrow, and all our previous arrangements will be cancelled, and everyone will not be able to wait until the fourth day of the lunar new year."

The emperor asked Pei Ji to send the Fu Yi Memorial, which was very obvious. This was a signal that the emperor wanted to do something. The emperor just wanted the Qin Palace to surrender without a fight.

Li Shimin said, "Qin Sanlang had expected what happened today. Auxiliary machine, uncle sent someone to send a letter saying that Qin Qiong asked Qin Lang to meet me in secret. I'll go see Shu Bao and his son first." , go see Xuanling and Ruhui for me."

"It's this time, why are you still seeing Qin Shubao?" Changsun Wuji was a little anxious.

"The more you don't panic at this time, there is still some time now, I will go back as soon as I go, maybe there will be unexpected gains." Li Shimin smiled and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder. In fact, he is panicking now, but the more At this time, the more you can't show it, otherwise the Qin Palace will really mess up and collapse without a fight.

He was full of expectations, hoping that the young Qin Sanlang could give him some unexpected surprises, and he also placed high hopes on Qin Qiong, who was once the number one general under his command. In any case, Qin Qiong is now the deputy commander of tens of thousands of troops in the Weishui camp. At a critical time, perhaps this is the last chance for a comeback.
