Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 839

The study is located in a courtyard in the mansion alone, and it is a separate family in the mansion. There is only one arched door to enter, so it is relatively secret.

Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Yin Tianzong, Tang Jian and others were all present, and they were the main backbone and troops of the Tiance Mansion in Chang'an City.

After everyone was seated one after another, Changsun Wuji ordered the servants of the mansion to guard the arch outside the courtyard, strictly forbidding other people in the mansion to enter the hospital to disturb them.

Several people were suddenly summoned into the mansion by Changsun Wuji, and seeing Changsun Wuji's cautious and confidential appearance, they couldn't help feeling suspicious.

As the eldest grandson Wuji's uncle, the oldest senior Gao Shilian suddenly got up and asked suspiciously: "Wuji, didn't we have an agreement before? The people of the Tiance Mansion meet once every half a decade. This counts as a day , the day of the party is still early, why did you call everyone here for no reason? And there was no prior notice, and it was called as soon as it was said, so in a hurry, it is not your style of doing things!"

Gao Shilian sounded like an elder admonishing a younger generation. It sounded like he was questioning, but in fact it was a tone of concern.

Changsun Wuji didn't think so, chuckled lightly, and said in a good mood: "Uncle, you will find out in a while. To be honest, today's auxiliary machine is so Menglang, and it is an earth-shattering event to call you all suddenly to my house." I need to discuss with you guys. Hehe, I also just got the news this afternoon, so ahem, don’t blame everyone, don’t blame the auxiliary machine’s move by Meng Lang.”

Auxiliary machine is the word of Changsun Wuji, who is also called Changsun Auxiliary Machine.

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned and changed their expressions, and their expressions became a little serious, because they all knew that Changsun Wuji was definitely not a person who just talked about it.And they also knew that Changsun Wuji was used to seeing the big scenes and the big world, and being able to say the earth-shattering four words from his mouth showed that this matter was really a big deal.

It was Gao Shilian who took the lead to ask again: "What earth-shattering event happened? Wuji, everyone here is old acquaintances and old friends. There is no need to hide it. Just speak up!"

Changsun Wuji nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, the ins and outs of this matter are written in this letter, you can circulate it for a look. I just want to say something to you, hehe, once this matter is over, the court will I will never see the old officials of Wude again, and as for Xiao Yu and Pei Ji, well, they will end up with three thousand miles of fields in Qiongzhou!"

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

"My lord, grandson, quickly take out your letter and let me pass it around."

……

For a moment, the expressions of several people present were all moved, and they stood up at the same time.

Changsun Wuji didn't dare to delay, he immediately took out the letter Guo Ye gave him, and handed it over immediately, firstly circulating it from Gao Shilian.

Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian, and finally Yin Tianzong...

Several people read it one after another, and finally the letter returned to Changsun Wuji's hands.

Changsun Wuji pinched the corner of the letter, shook it off slightly, raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Everyone has read it, and generally understands what happened. Hehe, our Tiance Mansion is the leader, and we have completely wiped out the old ministers of Wude and others. Here comes the opportunity for the guy to be kicked out of the court!"

However, Gao Shilian and others did not respond to his impassioned speech in time, but all looked the same - dumbfounded.

Obviously, several people have not recovered from the things described in the letter.

In the end, Fang Xuanling, who was known for being good at planning, came to his senses first, and sighed straight away: "I really didn't expect, I didn't expect that after so many years, the Supreme Emperor still didn't let go of the matter of Xuanwumen. He was still thinking about it. Secretly plotting to restore the throne. Hehe, we are the emperor's ministers in vain, but we are blinded, and everything is kept in the dark. Shame, ashamed!"

Tang Jian also echoed: "Yes, as Guo Ye said in the letter, if they are allowed to secretly accumulate and plan in the middle of Shu for another five years, they will slowly grow up. In addition to the martial arts scattered all over the place by the Supreme Emperor and his old man Old ministers. As long as the Supreme Emperor finds the right time and calls out, the old soldiers and horses from all over the country will respond one after another and lead the army to King Qin of Chang'an. The consequences will be unimaginable, unimaginable!"

"Hmph, grandma's ball!"

Yin Tianzong also shot up at the case with resentment, and said angrily: "Let's not talk about whether he can succeed in the restoration, at least the early scene of the prosperous age created by the current emperor's painstaking efforts will definitely be destroyed. The people of the Tang Dynasty have been recuperating for so many years. In vain. What do you think he wants to do? The throne is passed on from father to son, and from son to grandson. It’s a matter of course. Anyway, it’s all under Li Tang, so what else can he not let go of?”

Gao Shilian first comforted Yin Tianzong and said, "General Yin, please be calm and calm down!"

These people are mainly civil servants, only Yin Tianzong is a general, and he is also the youngest one.Naturally, it was Yin Tianzong who had the most violent temper.

After Gao Shilian appeased Yin Tianzong, he looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "Wuji, Guo Ye said in the letter that this time His Royal Highness the King of Shu didn't listen to his advice, and actually mobilized people to escort Liang Shidao, the governor of Shuzhou, and others into the palace." Chang'an, I want to bring this matter to the emperor. I think Guo Ye has handled this matter very well. It is right for him not to participate in this matter. In the final analysis, this all involves the emperor. And the emperor is a man of the utmost benevolence and filial piety. Surely he would not take the opportunity to attack the Supreme Emperor because of this matter, and leave behind a long-standing public who disregards filial piety.

Therefore, the king of Shu's move is tantamount to forcing the emperor to the table, forcing the emperor to make a decision on the Supreme Emperor.Hehe, this King of Shu is too eager for quick success and quick success. Isn't this just asking for bad luck?This move will definitely put His Majesty in a dilemma, and His Majesty's Longyan will be furious. I think we should also be like Guo Ye, stay out of the matter, and hang on high. "

When Gao Shilian said this, Fang Xuanling also responded: "I agree with Mr. Gao's proposal. Guo Ye handled it very well this time, and he did not act recklessly at all. Therefore, Mr. Changsun, even if the emperor wants to take Liang Shidao and Xiao Yu We can't get involved when someone gets the knife. After all, the ultimate target is directed at the Supreme Emperor, and it's still a matter between the father and son of the Tian family. As a subject, it's involved..."

Tang Jian, who has always had few ideas, suddenly interjected: "Master Gao, Mr. Fang is right, and Tang Mou also thinks the same way. Anyone who wants to make trouble, let them do it. And I read Guo Ye's letter, and I also read it." It can be concluded that although the king of Shu's repeated actions in Shuzhou have been eliminated and beaten, his wrists are extremely perfect. But this time he actually interfered in the local civil affairs in Shuzhou, and without the permission of the imperial court, he even privately took the dignified governor of a state. He took over, and even took over the local government affairs privately. Hehe, what is the emperor most afraid of? What is the most disgusting? This king of Shu is almost doomed!"

"Everyone, I, Yin Tianzong, is a reckless man, and I don't know the twists and turns." Yin Tianzong, who calmed down his impatience, also said, "Since you all mean the same thing, I don't have any objections. But this kid Guo Ye believes It is also mentioned in the book that this time he is accompanying the King of Shu to enshrine the feudal domain. The King of Shu has repeatedly committed taboos, and he is about to encounter the emperor's misfortune. Get rid of the trouble so he can stay out of it?"

Swish Swish Swish Swish ~~

As soon as Yin Tianzong finished speaking, the eyes of the four present all focused on Changsun Wuji.After all, he is the real backbone of the Tiance Mansion, and everyone takes his opinion as the outline.

However, Changsun Wuji didn't seem to care about Guo Ye's request for help in the letter, and he didn't directly respond to Yin Tianzong's question.

On the contrary, he still had a smile on his face, squinted his eyes and glanced at the four people present, and asked in an expectant tone:

"Several people, this is an opportunity for us to completely drive out the old officials of Wude from the imperial court. Not only can we pull out Xiao Yu, Pei Ji and other old officials of Wude in the court, maybe everyone will work together, and through this matter, the Supreme Emperor Completely becoming a loner, so that he can no longer put his hand into the court. At that time, maybe all states and states, including the old officials of Wude in the army, can be uprooted, and there will be a thorough reshuffle."

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji couldn't restrain his excitement anymore, he waved his arms, and said in a slightly high voice: "Once the Wude old minister department loses power, who else can hold back the people of our Tiance government department? Everyone , such a big opportunity is right in front of us, don't we just watch the opportunity miss? Why don't we help His Highness the King of Shu, increase the firewood and raise the salary, so that the fire will be completely ignited, and the fire will start a prairie fire, and burn all the soldiers. These remnants of De Jiuchen?"

"what?"

Gao Shilian suddenly took two steps forward, stared at his eldest grandson Wuji with wide eyes, and cursed at his nephew in full view: "Wuji, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Are you like this? The one who killed Guo Ye!"

Chapter 669 A strong man breaks his wrist?Or an abandoned child?

Gao Shilian has a good reputation in the Tiance Mansion as a good old man, and it is rare to see him get angry, otherwise he would not have been on good terms with Yu Shinan, the son of the Confucian state at that time, and had a very close friendship.

You must know that Qingliu like Yu Shinan never clings to the powerful, nor does he form cliques. Being able to be introduced as a confidant by such a person shows that Gao Shilian has a peaceful mind.

Seeing that Gao Shilian got angry at him because of Guo Ye, Changsun Wuji hurriedly comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry, just listen to me..."

"Say what? Don't say anything!"

Gao Shilian didn't buy it, and continued to spray: "Wuji, you want to overthrow Xiao Yu and Pei Ji, and uproot the old officials of Wude from the court, I understand, I can understand. But if you do this, Where will you put that kid Guo Ye? The reason why he sent someone to send you an urgent letter in advance is nothing more than to let us seniors from the same department lend a helping hand, so that he can be pulled out of the vortex of right and wrong in King Shu. Keep him out of the matter. How lucky you are, to overthrow the old ministers of Wude in order to attack dissidents, and even the people in the department are willing to abandon them. How do you let the people of the Tiance government in various provinces treat us?"

Gao Shilian's voice was stern, his words made Changsun Wuji's face look ugly, Fang Xuanling and the others also laughed with deep sympathy and bowed their heads in agreement.

"uncle!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly yelled, disregarding the etiquette of being a nephew and being a junior, he sternly said to Gao Shilian: "Uncle, you are the kindness of a woman! Do you know how long we have been waiting for this opportunity? A dozen or so Year!!"

Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji suddenly raised a finger and counted: "In the third year of Wude, General Yin Kaishan died of illness and was on the way to the battle. It was played by His Majesty the King of Qin at the time, and the emperor's Supreme Emperor asked for a posthumous title. So that General Yin will mourn after his death. But what did Pei Ji do? Slander the Supreme Emperor, causing the Supreme Emperor to reject King Qin's request."

Yin Kaishan is the father of Yin Tianzong, the general who led the army, and also an old courtier who followed Li Shimin to fight the world.

Now suddenly listening to Changsun Wuji's old story being brought up again, he felt a dull pain in his heart, and his whole body fell into grief.

Immediately afterwards, Changsun Wuji raised another finger and counted: "In the fourth year of Wude, General Luo Cheng under the command of the King of Qin died in battle. He should have given the title of duke of the country, but what did Xiao Yu do? Another slander He said that Luo Cheng's father, Luo Yi, was once an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and he should not have such a high standard of honor after his death. Well, the Supreme Emperor's ears softened, and he dismissed this idea. Do you know how many soldiers' hearts have been chilled by this? "

"In the eighth year of Wude, Xiao Yu, Pei Ji, Chen Shuda and others secretly assisted Prince Li Jiancheng to suppress the King of Qin and persecute the civil and military officials of our Tiance Mansion. Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie was even cut off his military power. Uncle, you forgot Yet?"

"Also, why did Qin Qiong, Li Maogong, Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Yaojin, etc. have been suppressed and unable to be promoted during the ten years of the Supreme Emperor's reign? It's because the old Wude ministers and these thieves beat the side drums at the Supreme Emperor's house all day long. It is said that they were born in Wagang Village, they are full of bandits, wild and unruly, and they are afraid that they will do something rebellious in the future. Uncle, I don’t need to remind you of this, do I?”

"Also, you are sour. During the ten years of Wude, how many officials from various places in Tiance Mansion were suppressed and persecuted by Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and other courtiers? Uncle, and all the adults present, these people Those who made great contributions to our Tang Dynasty, shed blood and were wounded for our Tang Dynasty, and some even ended up with their wives and children, and their families were ruined!"

"The dead are gone, and the living should remember the suffering and deep hatred, and never forget it for a moment! Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and other old ministers with martial arts virtues are not eliminated for a day, and it is difficult for good ministers and loyal ministers to look down on Jiuquan, and it is even more difficult to return to court. A clear world!"

The more Changsun Wuji spoke, the more excited he became, and at last he raised his arms and shouted with an angry face: "If you don't eradicate these traitors and thieves, hum, your Majesty will be restrained by them every day, and drawn by the Supreme Emperor. Your Majesty has something to do." If he is the king, the master of the generation, if he is unable to carry out his grand plan and great cause because of these, then what face do we, as ministers, have a foothold in the court again? What face do we have to talk nonsense again? What about the reward of eating the king, and the matter of being loyal to the king? Uncle, and the few present here, think about it carefully!!!"

quiet!
