Chapter 169 The Li Family
It is difficult to keep secrets in the guards of the Ochichi guard. Everyone was staring at Fang Jie all the time, it seemed that he wanted to record even his bowel movements. For the first time in my life, I have survived in this environment. To be honest, the solution is not very sure that I can go out from here.
Changchunyuan
Lotus pond
The emperor listened to the report from the Ministry of Defense on the preparations for war, and then took a sigh of relief after serious instructions. Instead of calling other court officials, he sat for a while on the stone bench beside the lotus pond. The emperor rarely did this, he always seemed busy. It can be said that the emperor Tianyi Yang Yi is the lowest-profile emperor in the history of Da Sui, but also the most diligent emperor.
He was always dealing with state affairs, sitting on the earthen lofts in the vault of the sky was motionless for a long time. He sleeps up to two hours a day and never delays a minute.
Past emperors rarely saw all the memorials. You should know that Da Sui is too big. Twenty-four worlds, thousands of cities, and a ox cart delivered to Changchun Garden every day are not necessarily pulled. So long ago, the emperor of Da Sui set up the position of Bingpen. The eunuchs most trusted by the emperor were responsible for selecting the memorial. They sorted all the memorials and sorted out the important ones to present to the emperor.
And most of the memorials without any substantial meaning are often directly replaced by the emperor with instructions. Such rules have been in place for decades. The eunuch's rights are so great that even the court's dignitaries can't afford it.
But in the generation of Emperor Yang Yi, he abolished this rule. He is like a machine that never tires, and has no trace of disgust for trivial and complicated state affairs. After he ascended the throne, the eunuch's great power was gradually weakened. Later, Eunuch Bingpen returned to being just an eunuch.
But even if the emperor's diligence is amazing, he will still be too busy. So someone must help him share some, so the official position of servant of the Yellow Gate is becoming more and more important. Relatively speaking, the Emperor Tianyou apparently trusted the courtiers more than the eunuchs in handling state affairs.
The official position of the servant of the Yellow Gate was set by him, and there was no such official in the previous Da Sui. The responsibility of the servant of the Yellow Gate is actually to share some of the things that originally belonged to the Bingbi.
But in other things, the emperor's trust in the did not seem to be low. For example, the one who always follows him at the nearest position is always the Su Wuwei who looks honest and taciturn.
The emperor was always very busy, so he sat in a daze by the pond and felt a novelty.
People are used to it, and when they think of the emperor, they can immediately guess that he is dealing with state affairs.
"Su Buwei ... how many years have you been in the palace?"
The emperor asked after a long silence.
Su Buwei, who was standing not far from the emperor, replied: "For twenty-six years, the slaves entered the palace at the age of fifteen, first apprentices in the royal dining room, and later because of their cleverness, they were still eunuchs of the Zongnei government. Wu Peisheng was transferred to work next to him. After doing this for more than ten years in Zongnei, Wu Peisheng was promoted to Bingbi, and I was transferred to the Imperial Academy. In total, he has been in the Imperial Academy for fourteen years. "
"Your memory is always good."
The emperor nodded.
"Wu Peisheng was promoted by his father and the emperor. At that time, even the eunuchs who were the second and third members of the imperial court had to be ... He had abolished most of the eunuchs of Bingbi Eunuch, and there was bound to be unwillingness and anger in Wu Peisheng. I never asked, you have been with him for more than 20 years, and no one knows him better than you. I heard that ... Wu Peisheng found you alone before leaving Changan for the Northwest? "
"Yes"
Su Buwei bowed his head, "I have seen slaves."
"What did he say?"
The emperor asked.
"Wu Peisheng said ... This trip to the northwest is mostly impossible to return. He said that after he died, it should be a slave who took over the post of Eunuch Bingpen. He warned the slave that he must not be a little disrespectful to His Majesty. The Emperor When he was in office, Bingpen's eunuch's role was to share the dynasty's government for the emperor. His Majesty did not want this, but his eunuch. Things that cannot be touched. "
Hearing this sentence, the emperor sighed after a moment of silence: "He still has resentment in his heart."
Su is not afraid to speak.
The emperor said: "He guessed wrong."
Su was afraid for a moment, not knowing what the emperor said wrongly.
The emperor stood up and looked sad at the beautiful and ridiculous flowers in the lotus pond. He said sadly, "I didn't want him to go to the northwest, so I didn't want to get rid of him. I knew that the eunuch's authority would be weakened. Wu Peisheng would surely be dissatisfied and would Anger. But I knew he was a loyal, so I never thought about killing him. I asked him to go to the northwest, just to clean up the corruption in the army before the war. In order to prepare for the war against Mongolian Yuan, check the northwest What does Tao ’s garrison look like. "
"He thought he was stingy because he wanted to kill him because he had complained. He was wrong."
The emperor said: "Yi has even prepared a home for him. He bought a large house for him on Jianghuai Road, and specifically asked the household to allocate a sum of money to buy the land and servants. He thought, waiting for him from the northwest As soon as he came back, he was released from the palace to support him for many years. He was very old ... doing a lot of things for the emperor, thanks to him, how could he kill him? "
The emperor's tone was sad and a little angry.
He was angry that Wu Peisheng didn't understand himself.
"Perhaps ... Wu Peisheng said that he would die without doubt, not to feel what His Majesty was going to do."
Su Wuji's face kept changing, hesitating a moment and continued to say: "His His Majesty's thorough investigation of the Northwest Military Corruption and Corruption Case will inevitably touch the interests of many people. He said that he has gone back, maybe worried The thing is, he will find out what will surely kill him. "
"Su Fearless"
The emperor looked back at him and said, "It's rare that you would say such words today, you never participate in state affairs. Even if you ask me, you will find a way to quit."
"Slave doesn't want to make His Majesty unhappy or misunderstand His Majesty Wu Peisheng ... He is a greedy for money and a good power. The is bound to die if he is infected with these two points. But he is loyal to Your Majesty, even if you have Complaints will not do anything detrimental to your Majesty. And because the slave knows him, he knows that depending on his temperament, he will surely look deep and meticulous. He will find many things that are out of sight. "
The emperor froze slightly, and then there was a sharp flash in his eyes.
"Get Hou Wenji ... No, let's find Luo Weiran."
The emperor commanded: "Let him check, who killed Wu Peisheng in the end?"
...
...
Wu Peisheng was killed by Li Xiaozong.
Where is Li Xiaozong?
Still northwest, but has been dismissed. He no longer had the suit of Da Sui from Wupinya, but he was not jailed. It seems that the emperor believed the truth of Fan Gu's war, which was reported by the Ministry of Defense, but only made a mistake in concealing it. Of course, this sin can be as large or as small. If it is more severe, it is the sin of bullying the monarch. The crime of bullying the monarch ... condemnation depends on what your Majesty thinks.
Apparently, His Majesty did not want to kill him.
So although he fell from a very high position, he did not fall flat. Originally, several ministers of the court discussed that they wanted to add another item to the disposal and never hire him. But when it was reported to His Majesty for approval, His Majesty crossed out this sentence with a Zhubi. This is an obvious signal, so many people in the court guessed that this young man named Li Xiaozong must have a chance to rise again.
When the empire's expedition to the northwest gradually became clear, everyone understood why the emperor had not executed Li Xiaozong at that time. Li Xiaozong has been a fan general in Fan Gu for several years. No one knows the situation in Fan Gu better than him. And he was a very thoughtful person. While sending troops to clear the bandits and horse thieves around Fan Gu, he also explored the terrain of Langru Mountain several times. He knows well that if one wants to succeed, he must prepare a lot of things in advance.
He wasn't sure that the empire would go to war with the Mongolian Yuan, but knew from the beginning that he had to be prepared for this.
How could such a person abandon His Majesty? Once the war begins, he will soon be recovered. And after a big war, it is impossible to say that this young man will fly into the sky. Think further, your Majesty referred to him as Fan Gu's defender, did he have to use his mind in the war?
This is not impossible. You must know that although Li Xiaozong couldn't squeeze into the top three when performing in the Wuyuan, he was always the fourth person. The first three people were assigned to the Da Sui soldiers. He was transferred to Fan Gu Not an emphasis? The three better than him were to get acquainted with the army in order to bring out an elite combatable soldier as soon as possible. Li Xiaozong is familiar with the Northwest, and his role cannot be underestimated.
Li Xiaozong, who was punished by His Majesty at the same time, was General Li Yuanshan, a right general. This person, who has been sitting on the general's seat for more than ten years, was relegated to the third rank, from the general of the third grade to the other of the fifth grade. However, it is very unruly that he still leads the right Xiaowei.
You Xiaowei is a general with more than five grades, but there are dozens of them.
Therefore, Li Yuanshan is a very embarrassing person. As the commander of Right Xiaowei, according to the rules, when he raises his account every day, he first requires dozens of marching ceremonies from his opponent. And the most surprising thing is that he actually adhered to this rule without hesitation. From the will of demotion to the army, he acted in full compliance with the rules. The order will not be dragged when giving orders, and the opponent will never shy away when giving a gift.
Of course, such a thing will naturally be told by His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away from the capital.
Li Yuanshan was used to living in large accounts, and used to living in military camps. But since he was demoted, he would ride back to the city's mansion and live with his wife and children whenever things in the army were dealt with. He no longer enjoyed the special treatment of the generals, and even broke the Western Region wines that were specially supplied to the generals.
Of course ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Someone tells His Majesty the Emperor far away.
Li Yuanshan, who was sitting in the study, wore a cotton cloth instead of a brocade. He always thought that soft cotton was more comfortable to wear. He glanced casually at the court court report, and he turned his attention to the young man who had been quietly standing aside.
"How long has King Asahi arrived?"
he asks.
The young man who stood very well was Li Xiaozong. He had no official office, but was appointed as an aide by Li Yuanshan. This was not inconsistent with the will of the court. The aide was his personal adviser, not a court official. Of course, this is also a handle, but who will offend a general who will soon be reinstated because of such a trivial matter?
"It's been ten days."
Li Xiaozong answered.
"What's unusual?"
Li Xiaozong thought for a while and answered, "The day before yesterday, he seemed to inadvertently ask Wu Peisheng's death."
"Ask it."
Li Yuanshan shook his head slightly and said, "Who can still prove that you killed Wu Peisheng? The old ... knowing that there are many things he can't touch, but he just got in. In the northwest, he was just a passenger It's just because of his curiosity that even the grave remains here. King Asahi is smarter than Wu Peisheng, and he knows what is the most important thing now. "
"His Majesty is going to fight Mongolian Yuan, who will ruin His grand cause, His Majesty will not spare anyone."
He looked at Li Xiaozong and said, "Be prepared, maybe it won't be long before you reactivate your will."
"Uncle Xie!"
Li Xiaozong deeply expressed his sincerity and sincerity.
"You should be grateful for your destiny. If you were not born in the Li family ... already dead. We in the Li family can't be moved by anyone who wants to move."
Li Yuanshan smiled slightly, looking so proud.
