Chapter 253 [Breaking the Earth and Sealing the King]

The huge butter candle crackled, and Li Shimin's voice was meaningful. For a moment, no one dared to ask the emperor what he meant.

The things tonight were strange, and the ministers were not sure about the emperor's thoughts. His Majesty not only made a big move to convene the night court, but also said something inexplicable as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I have been waiting for today for many years..."

What does it mean?

Still no one dares to ask.

The ministers only dared to constantly guess in their hearts and figure out what the emperor said. If they only look at the literal meaning, it can be understood that Li Shimin has been waiting for the great victory in Liaodong for many years, but if they think about it for a little, anyone can hear the emperor's words and words that are worth it.

In the hall of more than 1,500 people, there was a silence that could be heard by the falling needles. Apart from the crackling sound of the huge butter candle, there were only a few cautious breathings of countless people.

Li Shimin suddenly sighed softly.

But when the emperor reached out and pointed to the Red Peel on the ground, he asked the ministers, "What do you think of this?"

What do you think?

A tired Hong Ling is so tired!

But this feeling can only be hidden in the heart, and the face must show a solemn and painful look. However, some people also spoke out from the sincere and sadness, "Finally, I have fulfilled my duties and responsibilities. Since the establishment of the Hongling urgent system of the Tang Dynasty, messengers have often been exhausted and killed in order to convey major events. I think it is very tragic."

The person who said this must be a fair person, but Li Shimin was obviously dissatisfied. However, seeing the emperor continue to raise his head with his hands behind his back, he asked softly: "Is it just tragic?"

The minister suddenly kept silent and couldn't take it anymore.

Li Shimin's voice suddenly became high and he said loudly: "In my opinion, this is not just a tragic, but a great hero of the Tang Dynasty. He ran for six days and five nights in a row, crushed his feet for a long distance of seven thousand miles, and stayed asleep until he died of exhaustion. He fell into a nightmare of obsession before his death, shouting that I was Hong Ling urgently, hoarse and gave way to the long street. How could such a heroic matter be his comment?"

The emperor seemed very excited, and suddenly looked at a minister in the hall and shouted: "Fang Xuanling, I want to issue an order to spread it to the world."

This was said without any brainstorm, and the jumping forward and back was very serious. However, Fang Xuanling nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the old minister must speak with sincerity!"

The emperor wanted to issue an imperial edict to the world, but the imperial edict was not necessarily written by the emperor himself. Some imperial edicts require outstanding literary talent and must be written with care by the ministers.

This does not mean that Li Shimin is not good at literary talent, but that it is easier for ministers to excel when discussing it from multiple sources. The imperial edicts used in many major events in history were all expressed by the prime ministers, and such imperial edicts were solemn when they were told to the world.

Seeing Fang Xuanling agreeing, Li Shimin turned to a minister in the hall and spoke again: "Li Xiaogong, Hong Ling is the messenger in the army..."

This is still a bit mindless.

But Li Xiaogong also nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will urge the Ministry of War to reward merits."

However, this time Li Shimin shook his head and said, "You are wrong, I am not referring to this."

Li Xiaogong was slightly stunned.

But seeing Li Shimin breathing a sigh of relief, he suddenly looked at the goalkeeper next to Hong Ling's body and asked, "Is the silk book in your hands?"

The goalkeeper kept kneeling on one knee, and he heard this and quickly raised his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the silk book is indeed here."

As he said that, he reached into his arms and prepared to take out the silk book and submit it.

But Li Shimin waved his hand suddenly and said solemnly: "No need to submit it, you can recite it."

The goalkeeper was stunned.

Let him recite the silk book?

This is not in line with the rules.

Li Shimin had a bright tiger's eyes and said, "Although you guard the gate order in Chang'an, you have red feathers in your hand. I'm asking you now, what is the mission of the Hong feathers urgently?"

The goalkeeper's head flashed with inspiration and blurted out: "Running thousands of miles is just to report the victory. The red feather will not fall, and the messenger will not die!" As he said that, he subconsciously raised his hand and raised the red feather high.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Li Shimin shouted softly.

At this point, the ministers in the hall had guessed Li Shimin's intention.

Hong Ling's mission was to report the great victory, but the victory had not been reported in public. Since the goalkeeper received Hong Ling, he had to complete the unfinished mission of Hong Ling.

The goalkeeper suddenly stood up from the ground.

He inserted the red feather extremely solemnly on his back.

Then he held the silk book with both hands, and his face showed an extremely solemn color, and said, "I am a Hongling urgent envoy to come here to report the victory. Now the Bohai Kingdom's letter has been passed down for thousands of miles, and the Liaodong battle has killed 300,000. Can you recite it?"

The person who can become the gatekeeper of Chang'an City is an outstanding general in the army. The gatekeeper of the gatekeeper is neither high nor low, but they are all confidants of the royal family. If they can be accepted as confidant by Li Shimin, they are naturally not ordinary patriarchs. Not only should they be good at fighting, but they should also be familiar with etiquette. Even if they are placed in the court, they can still advance and retreat.

He held the silk book with both hands and asked the emperor whether he could recite it with courtesy. Li Shimin showed a solemn look on his face. He suddenly turned around and walked down on the dragon chaise. Then he spoke solemnly: "I am very happy, I hope to hear it."

He was very solemn and solemn. At this moment, both the emperor and the goalkeeper were treated with court with court etiquette and politeness.

If this situation was a bit weird in the eyes of later generations, it would even ridicule a disguise and artificiality. However, in ancient times, it paid special attention to this. The disguise and artificiality of the ancients seemed open and honest.

Since it is a big event, we must take it seriously. Even if we already know the cause and effect of this big event, we still need to listen again according to etiquette.

This is respect for those who do great things, and it is also a kind of stereotype that the ancients looked a little cute.

...

The silk book of state affairs was five feet wide, and it was covered with small characters. Just by scanning the eyes, it can be speculated that it would be at least a few thousand words. If you recite it in class, it would be difficult to read it for a while.

However, Li Shimin's expression was extremely solemn. The ministers in the hall held their breath and were all solemn, waiting quietly for the goalkeeper to start reading.

Suddenly two important officials walked out of the hall and walked directly to the gatekeeper. One person on the left was Fang Xuanling, and the other person on the right was Li Xiaogong. Two big men, one literary and one martial artists, suddenly reached out to hold the left and right sides of the silk book, and spoke in unison: "The silk book cannot be landed, just recite it."

These words have two meanings.

The silk book cannot be placed on the ground, which means that the silk book is five feet long. If the goalkeeper is allowed to unfold and read it himself, he will inevitably fall to the ground when he is halfway through reading.

Just recite it, the meaning of this sentence is simpler and clearer. Fang Xuanling and Li Xiaogong mean very simple. They will help spread the silk book and let the goalkeeper recite it.

As he spoke, the silk book slowly unfolded. The goalkeeper took a deep breath and finally began to recite the hard-won silk book.

Li Shimin's face was solemn and the ministers in the palace listened in a slanted manner.

However, no one could have thought that the goalkeeper's first words shocked everyone.

But the first sentence that the goalkeeper read was: "Second uncle, congratulations..."

Wow!

There was an uproar in the whole hall.

What's going on?

Is this a silk book?

A silk book reporting the victory was solemn and the civil and military officials in the court were solemn and even the emperor had to sit upright, but at the beginning it turned out to be a squirming voice.

Where does this solemn rendition take place?

The goalkeeper was obviously stunned, his face was dumbfounded and he didn't know whether he should continue reading. He was the one who reads the silk book himself and found that the sentences written on the silk book were somewhat inappropriate.

Everyone was confused by the first tone of the silk book, but Li Shimin seemed to have expected it, but when he saw the emperor suddenly smiled, he said with a deep meaning: "I have been in the night, and the Book of Bohai has never been seen in the past. You don't need to do this. The Lord of Bohai is still a child. Since he is still a child, it's nothing to be naughty..."

These words made many ministers roll their eyes secretly!

The Lord of Bohai is still a child?

If you say this, ghosts don’t believe it.

If it were six or seven years ago, it would be acceptable to say that Li Yun was a child, but now Li Yun is the lord of Bohai Kingdom and a prince who is less than one person than ten thousand. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, no one has a higher status than him except the emperor. Even the mother of Empress Changsun is inferior to his official position according to his official position.

The queen's official position is the first rank.

The Tang Dynasty originally had eight first-rank generals, namely the Empress, the Taishi, the Taifu, the Taibao, the Taiwei, Situ, Sikong, and the General Tiance. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, General Tiance was abolished, so there were only seven first-rank generals in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Except for the queen, these seven first-ranks are real titles, and the rest are nominal suspensions. Therefore, there is only one first-rank in the entire Tang Dynasty, that is, Empress Changsun, the mother of the country.

But Li Yun was a prince, and the princes were higher than the first rank.

The title was a prince and a princess, and then he was the successor, the prince, and the king.

The official has the right one, and then it is the right two, and the second one.

Whether it is a title or an official position, Li Yun has exceeded the establishment of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin actually said that such a high-ranking figure was a child.

The ministers were speechless.

But no matter what, the emperor has made a clear statement. All the ministers present are so powerful that no one will feel uncomfortable in this matter. Do you want them to jump out and criticize Li Yun for his inappropriate silk book to report victory? Six or seven years ago, some people had the courage, but now few people can muster up the courage.

The reason is very simple.

Li Yun was already wandering outside the court.

He is a prince and has his own vassal state. Although he belongs to the Tang Dynasty in name, he strictly speaking, he lives his own life behind closed doors. If Li Yun is unwilling to stay in the Tang Dynasty, he can even split himself into becoming the emperor.

In ancient times, it is said that the land is broken and the title of king is the essence of being a king.

The real king is not as simple as the emperor's son. The real king is a prince who was granted a title by splitting the soil.

...

However, the goalkeeper was encouraged by Li Shimin and finally decided to continue reading the silk book. However, he had to open his mouth and suddenly became hesitant again.

Fang Xuanling and Li Xiaogong next to him also became hesitant because they also saw the lines of words on the silk book clearly.

Fang Xuanling suddenly spoke with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, this silk book is a bit shocking. The old minister wants to make a comment. Please allow your Majesty to read only half of it..."

These words shocked the ministers present.
