Chapter 53 armed force

Li Yuan was quite taken aback by this surprise, not to mention him, even Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Feng Lun, Yang Gongren, Yan Shigu and others were also extremely surprised. Even Changsun Wuji never expected that the crown prince would be abolished and the king of Qin would be established. In the end, this sentence turned out to be the first to be uttered from the mouth of Chen Shuda, who is known as the most prudent and reticent in the ruling and opposition parties.Chen Shuda has been a prime minister for many years, and the impression he gives people is that he is noble, not flattering or greedy, and his opinions are fair and impartial. Although he ranks high in the temple, he never speaks lightly of gains and losses, unless the emperor asks him, he seldom takes the initiative to speak out.However, it is this person who is actively persuading His Majesty to abolish the crown prince and establish the king of Qin on the East China Sea pond, where the world is not in the sky and the ground is not in the sky.But Changsun Wuji knew that he had always been on good terms with the King of Qin. Although they were friends of gentlemen, they were compatible with each other.This person does have a lot of praise for King Qin's ability on weekdays, and it can't be said that he is a temporary attachment.Changsun Wuji was astonished as he was, but he was greatly relieved that someone finally broke the topic.

Yuwen Shiji at the side was also quite surprised in his heart. Originally, according to the original plan, he should actually be the one who took the lead in writing a letter today to persuade him.It's just that the content of the remonstrance was even more outrageous. According to Fang Xuanling's idea, he wanted to persuade His Majesty to surrender to King Qin that day.It's just that he didn't expect the atmosphere to be so embarrassing, and the other ministers were so silent that he didn't know what to say. He was hesitating, but he didn't expect that the old man beside him who had just returned to work in the province for less than four days The guy actually preempted to speak first, but he persuaded His Majesty to make King Qin the crown prince.This time, he could no longer ask the emperor to abdicate. He was also a clever man, and immediately stood up and responded: "Your Majesty, what Chen Lao Xiangguo said is really a word for the country. I agree with what I see. I implore Your Majesty to abolish it." Unworthy prince, make King Qin the crown prince!"

Xiao Yu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have long held this proposal, but Your Majesty has always refused. If Your Majesty had followed my request in the early years, there would be no such incidents..." When he opened his mouth, several chancellors frowned, even Changsun Wuji secretly hated it, but the good words came out of his mouth so harshly.It's fine if it's normal court affairs, Li Yuan is familiar with his temper and can tolerate him.How important is today's matter, he hastily said such a few words at this moment, how can Li Yuan, whose dignity and self-confidence have been hit by blows, still hold on to his face?

Sure enough, the emperor was furious and said: "Xiao Yu, you are the only one who has the foresight in the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, aren't you? You have persuaded me to do this a long time ago. It seems that I am stupid and did not accept this chapter of your loyal minister. This That's why I lost my son and rebelled against the government! Anyway, I am a foolish ruler, so I don't need a loyal minister like you, go home and take care of yourself!" Xiao Yu's words were suddenly blocked by the emperor's extremely unkind words. He stood there awkwardly, neither arguing nor leaving, the dignified prime minister of the empire, but at this moment he looked like a young boy who had just entered the official career Out of ideas.

Feng Lunqing coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, calm down. What Chen Gong said is the most reasonable. Now that the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, it is not enough to calm the government and stabilize people's hearts. I think Your Majesty should make a quick decision and make the King of Qin the heir. , and Ming ordered the world, the general government and general affairs, and appointed the prince. This is the foundation of stabilizing the world!" Li Yuan sneered and said: "When was I a hero, when was I forced to do something with a knife? Now that the situation is like this, I just compromise, how can I stuff the mouths of the world's subjects?"

Chen Shuda said calmly: "Your Majesty is the Lord of the world, so what is a little honor and disgrace? Now that the internal affairs are unclear and the north is restless, the world cannot be stabilized without His Majesty's wisdom. Your Majesty's severance today is not a necessary move to avoid disaster, but a It will benefit the immeasurable public morality of my Tang Dynasty for thousands of years." The emperor looked at Chen Shuda with sarcasm and said: "If I do this now, the internal affairs will be cleared up? The Turks will not invade again? You, Chen Zicong, are also a person who keeps the center. Don't you be afraid of such words? The history of later generations is as sharp as iron, calling you a 'little man'?"

Chen Shuda said calmly: "Your Majesty speaks seriously. What Your Majesty seeks is nothing more than peace and stability in the world, political clarity and prosperity of the people, harmony in the clan, harmony between father and son, kindness and filial piety, peace and mutual assistance between the upper and lower levels, what His Majesty has been longing for for many years but cannot obtain. I hope to get it today. The pedantic ministers secretly think that your Majesty is planning for the Tang Dynasty, and dare not to chase after the name after fame and extravagance!" Li Yuan was about to say something, but he couldn't help being surprised when he raised his head, looking at the shore with a slightly pale face.

At this moment, all the ministers didn't care about the emperor's disrespect, and turned their heads to look, but saw a group of fully armed armored soldiers approaching along the imperial road on the lake bank from a distance. The leading general was wearing iron armor and holding a long lance. With bloodstains all over him, a straight nose, a broad mouth, a dark complexion, and a beard all over his face, who else is there besides Yuchi Jingde, who is known as the number one hero in the Tang Dynasty? Yuchi Jingde came to the lake, shouted the password and led the team to stop, and gestured to Changsun Wuji from a distance.Changsun Wuji's heart was finally relieved, and he ordered: "Dock!" The soldiers and soldiers on the dragon boat rowed together, and the two dragon boats slowly docked.For a moment, the hearts of the emperor and his ministers were raised.

At this moment, this person led his troops to appear here, even if he is as dull as Xiao Yu, he also knows that things are not good.Although Changsun Wuji was responsible for the house arrest of the emperor, he was a civil servant and a relative after all, so everything would not be too rude.But this Yuchi Gong is the famous number one 250 among the courtiers. He was born in troubled times and betrayed his lord many times. He doesn't recognize anyone in the court except King Qin.Now that such a rogue general came to the king with a fully armed army, no one was sure what the king of Qin meant.Even someone as sophisticated and steady as Chen Shuda couldn't help but change color.

When the boat approached the shore, Yu Chigong stepped onto the dragon boat where the emperor was. He was very heavy, and he was wearing an iron armor weighing dozens of jins. The weapon in his hand was quite heavy. It also made everyone's mood flicker slightly. Chen Shuda sternly shouted: "Yuchi Jingde, what are you doing here? Who asked you to come?" Yu Chigong glanced at the emperor and the prime ministers arrogantly and disdainfully, then cupped his hands at Li Yuan, and said carelessly: "Long live your majesty, he is in armor, so he can't give you a full salute, and I hope that your majesty and all the ministers will forgive your sins." !"

Chen Shuda didn't pretend to be serious, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't ask you this, this is the imperial court, and you can't come here without an order! I'm asking you, who asked you to come? What are you here for?" Yu Chigong was still careless and careless, but there was a sneering smile on his face: "Your Excellency, I'm a rough man. I usually only know the activities of white knives going in and red knives coming out, but the etiquette in the court is really not good. I understand very well. I don’t know what 'Imperial' is not 'Imperial'!" Pei Ji couldn't help but say at this moment: "Didn't you hear clearly, Chen Xiang asked who sent you here, and what are you doing here!" Yu Chigong cupped his hands at Li Yuan, who was startled and angry with a pale face, and said with a smile: "The general is confused, that's what happened. The crown prince and King Qi hid the armored soldiers in an attempt to assassinate His Royal Highness King Qin. Their crimes are heinous, and they are now all guilty." Already put to death in the Xuanwu Gate. King Qin is a filial piety, and when he heard that the two thieves were plotting to assassinate the holy driver, he specially ordered the last general to lead his troops to escort him!" But a few words, to Li Yuan's ears, are like thunderbolts.Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his heart, and his five sense organs were displaced for a while, and his five internal organs were destroyed.He never imagined that this child who almost grew up under his own watch would be so cunning, killing the flesh and blood brothers of his own milk compatriots in Miyagi in an instant.The emperor's face was ferocious, the muscles of his cheeks twitched constantly, his eyes stared fiercely at Yu Chigong, tears overflowed from his eye sockets and ran down his cheeks uncontrollably, and there was only one sentence in his heart: "Erlang, you are too cruel!" That's right! That's your brother!" At this moment, the emperor felt that what happened that night was like a dream, and he couldn't help doubting the authenticity of what he had experienced that day. His muscles were tense, and he gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "What did you say? Can you say it again?" Emperor Longyan was furious, but Yu Chigong didn't take it seriously, licked his lower lip and said loudly: "The general said that both the crown prince and King Qi are dead, and the king of Qin ordered the future to protect His Majesty!" "Jiancheng..." The emperor let out a heart-piercing roar, his voice changed a little, he no longer cared about the majesty of the emperor, just sat on the dragon boat and wept bitterly, crying and tearing his chest and hair, like a maniac generally. But Yu Chigong didn't pay any attention to it, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, don't be so sad. Two villains who have no king, no father, no virtue and no talent can make the world safe. Apart from them, the King of Qin is doing it for His Majesty as well as for the country. At this moment King Qin is still waiting for His Majesty's future orders in Linhu Hall!" "Let him die, I will never see him again as a traitor..." Li Yuan shouted hoarsely, exhausted for a while, and fainted from such anger. Xiao Yu was furious, pointed at Yuchi Gong with a pale face, and said, "Yuchi Jingde, are you still acting like a courtier when you offend the Lord so much?" Seeing that Yuchi Gong seemed to want to retort, Chen Shuda knew that it would not be a problem to continue such entanglement, so he put on a straight face and said to Yu Chi Gong: "Go to the Linhu Palace to pass on His Majesty's decree. He also conspired to assassinate the King of Qin and endangered my bow, and he wrote that he was abolished as a commoner and handed over to the King of Qin for punishment. He wrote that General Tiance, King Qin, Taiwei, Shangshuling, and Zhongshuling Li Shimin were the princes and entered the East Palace to supervise the country. From now on , all military and state affairs, the princes of the three provincial committees, hereby!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Pei Ji who was standing beside him, "What do Prime Minister Pei think?" Pei Ji remained silent, although he felt resentful, he did know that what Chen Shuda said was indeed the only feasible way to save Li Yuan's life, he hesitated for a while and respectfully said to Yuchi: "Let's pass on the edict according to Chen Xiang's words..."
