14. Magpies go to the meeting
"Your Majesty first revealed the idea of deposing the prince. Those treacherous and slandered each of them wanted to make contributions, so they naturally cured the charges and did everything. Why didn't your Majesty think quietly for three days before making a decision? Just as impatient as Suzong, he would be too regretful after making a big mistake!"
"But there are ministers who support me in this way." The emperor has something to say.
Li Mi was not polite, and pointed out sharply: "Since ancient times, there have been probably a few who have used policy to seek credit for their contributions, Yang Su, Xu Jingzong, and Li Linfu. After Yang Su, the Sui Dynasty collapsed; after Xu Jingzong, the Wuzhou Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty; after Li Linfu, the Anshi Rebellion - these are all treacherous officials who disrupted the world."
Now the emperor had a clear mind and asked Li Mi tentatively: "So according to the gentleman's words, are the loyal ministers of the country who protect the prince?"
"You can't be separated from each other, Your Majesty." Li Mi expressed his core words.
At this time, Emperor Li Shi couldn't help but remember that when his position in Shaoyang Courtyard was threatened, it was indeed Gao Yue. Li Mi helped him deal with it. Now they are just projecting this idea onto their prince.
"So how should I explain the involvement between the prince and the demon monk to the court officials and the world?"
Li Mi picked up the feather fan and talked happily: "The case of the demon monk is a great rebellion, inciting the banned soldiers, and inciting the banned soldiers, and connecting with Huaixi rebellion towns. Not to mention that it has any substantial connection with the prince who has always lived in Shaoyang Courtyard, even Princess Gao Guo. If Your Majesty has no grudges in the future, he still loves the prince. The four barbarians in the country know that they all feel the benevolence of Your Majesty, and they all regard Your Majesty as your father; but if Your Majesty is guilty of the prince's wife and mother (mother-in-law)
I want to abolish the legitimate son and establish a nephew. I am afraid that the inner court will be uneasy in the future. As Emperor Taizong once worried, both inside and outside know the position of the crown prince, and those who have business and force can obtain it. In addition, the country will not be a country. Moreover, when I was attending the Penglai Palace Academy in the past, I saw the crown prince. Judging from the expression and behavior of the crown prince, it was definitely not a dissatisfied face. The only thing I was worried at that time was that the crown prince would be too weak and gentle, and would be forced and slandered by the owl."
The latter words touched the emperor's true feelings. He sighed and tears were about to fall. He choked and said to Li Mi, "I deeply believe what the sir said. I am really worried about the prince's character. I don't know who he looks like?"
Li Mi just answered: "From what I see, the prince's personality is absolutely similar to the old Empress Zhaode."
When Empress Zhaode was mentioned, the emperor's tears completely collapsed. He immediately sat on the rope bed and covered his face with his sleeves.
Li Mi also panicked and quickly knelt down and shouted for his death.
As a result, the emperor stepped forward and supported Li Mi, "If it weren't for sir, I would have made a big mistake!"
Li Mi also cried, "Please never reveal this conversation between Your Majesty and me today."
The emperor focused on the key point and said that even if the teacher did not speak, I had his own plans in my heart. "From now on, I would like to ask the teacher to continue to protect the prince. How could I dismiss me and Queen Zhaode's son, and how would I push my grandson into the fire pit? Such all kinds of things are just to test the hearts of the savages."
At this time, Li Mi smiled bitterly and pointed at the snow-colored white hair between his temples. "I am now sixty-three years old. Even if I do my best to do my best for Your Majesty, I am afraid I will not be able to survive for three or five years. I am not willing to die. I hope that Your Majesty will be kind to the prince, be harmonious in the inner court, and use loyal ministers such as Wei Gao, Gao Yue, Jia Dan, Du Huangshang outside. If you restore the prosperity, you will definitely be able to die and immortal!"
After the emperor and Li Mi's confrontation ended, Li Mi walked out of the pavilion gate of Xiaoyanying Hall, his face turned pale and he didn't say a word.
Then the emperor ordered the Hanlin Academy to issue a document, saying that Princess Gao was filthy and injuring the palace, and handed over to foreign ministers, and committed suicide by taking poison. The prince's palace secretary Xiao Ding did not know how to avoid the royal family, and adultered Princess Gao, and handed over the scepter to kill the officials. The Shaoyang Academy envoy Wang Zhongyan was in custody and was exiled to Rongguan Zhengluo Mansion.
As for Princess Gao Guo’s four sons, Pei Ye and Xiao Wan all surrendered to Lingnan.
The Lingnan Jiedushi Xiao Fu was also implicated and was demoted to the Sima of the Prefecture, and Du You took over his position as the governor.
For a moment, the court changed color and shocked.
Zhang Yanshang was even more proud and knew that the prince would be deposed. On September 24, Cui Hanheng was the Minister of War, Ma Sui, the Minister of War, and the Marshal of Longyou. He was engaged in Dou Shen, Lu Wen, and Yuan Tongzhi (he has been hired as the Chief Secretary of the Ma Sui Camp) and other groups formed a huge alliance group, which was in a mighty and glorious way from Chang'an City.
According to the agreement between the Tang and Xifan, on October 10, we met in Xiji, Huizhou.
Originally, Xifan also requested Hun Yu, the governor of Hezhong, and Duan Xiushi, the Grand Marshal of Tang, to participate in the alliance, but Li Mi and other ministers submitted memorials, saying that Xifan was cunning and could not be trusted. Hun Yu said on the surface that he participated in the alliance, but in fact he led 5,000 troops to be stationed at the mouth of Jingchuan on the east side of the Shabao to prepare for the accident. In addition, Shence, Jingyuan and Fengxiang soldiers and horses in the Shabao, Pingliang, Huating, Baicao were all ready for battle; and the 10,000 Xuanwu soldiers entering the territory of Longzhou were led by Liu Chang, the commander of Xuanwudu soldiers, and seized the time to build a city in Neiyuan.
Before leaving, Dou Shen was ready to go. In fact, after he talked with Gao Yue that day, he was also moved. He was born in a family and wasted the first half of his life. Then he was time to change his mind and make real achievements. In addition, when he heard that he was the Shaoqing of Honglu and could participate in the Xiji League this time, he couldn't help but be very happy. This time, he returned from his life and should be promoted to a fifth-rank official, so that he could marry Yunhe, the daughter of Cui Kuan, Shengpingfang.
Although Yunhe is remarried, Dou Shen heard that the other party is like a goddess in Xiangshui, with a high background and a wife. His life will be perfect afterwards. After working hard for ten years, he can be a fourth-rank rank, and even enter the Political Affairs Hall to celebrate the matter. He will never be worse than Gao Yue.
Dou Shen was thirty years old and was full of maids, Meiji and a prostitute, and now he wanted to settle down.
But Dou Shen was a little worried about the clan, and he also vaguely felt that this alliance would not be so simple. However, the clan was already the "Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple" appointed by the Ministry of Personnel and the Emperor. It was difficult to revolve. At the same time, he had Ma Sui and Yuan Tongzhi's guarantee that this trip was absolutely safe. Dou Shen himself worshiped the "Fifth Brother" and had a divine conversation with the statue of the fifth brother, and finally agreed to Dou Shen's journey.
In front of Lingao Post, Dou Shen Kang was full of mercy and horses in front of many officials who came to see him off. Looking at the endless autumn scenery in the mountains in the west of Jing, he drank the glass of wine in his hand, and recited two poems: "Please, I advise you to go all out. One, one glass of wine, no friends when you go west to Yangguan! I will drink another glass."
The educated people in the farewell team all covered their mouths and smiled, thinking that this Dou family man had recited the wrong person to recite poems.
At the same time, in the court, the emperor asked the envoy Xuan Jianzi to summon the King Pu in the main hall of the Ten Kings, and asked King Pu to come to the Waijing Court first.
Hearing this news, Zhang Yanshang in the Political Affairs Hall couldn't help but touch his beard proudly, feeling satisfied.
