Chapter 288 Your Highness, you can't be ungrateful
Early the next morning, Tang Jian, the official's minister, was waiting outside the palace with his hunched body. When Li Chengqian arrived, the old man's body was covered with a layer of snow, which really corresponded to the sentence: a yellow dog is covered with white.
, the white dog’s body is swollen.
After taking the old man to sit down, Li Chengqian handed him a bowl of ginger soup, and then said with a smile: "Tang Gong, you are out of touch with Gu Jian. We are people who have experienced wind and rain together. Come in and sit by yourself. As for this
Well, if outsiders see it, they will think that Gu is just pretending to be a prisoner of the country and no longer cares about his old relationship. Could it be that Gu is a heartless and unjust person?"
After taking a few sips of the ginger soup, Old Tang put down the bowl and said: "Your Highness, if you were in the East Palace, I would definitely not be polite to you, but this is where the emperor governs, and the imperial documents are placed there.
Well, this is a rule that no one can break. But I heard that you refuted Cen Wenwen because of Wu Min’s incident last night?"
Oops, this news spread very quickly. There were only four of them last night, and the two prime ministers, Fang and Du, were not the ones spreading gossip. So what did Cen Wenwen mean?
"That's right. Why, Cen Zhongshu doesn't want someone who can't bear the slightest grievance. And just ask the people below to deliver the leather slip. It's so cold today. Why are you bothering with it at such an old age?"
"Go back to Your Highness, the reason why I came here so early is to persuade you to take a lighter sentence." After speaking, Tang Jian stared directly at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian didn't expect that Tang Jian, who had always been a good man, would actually do Wei Zheng's work. Did he come to rebel against Longlin?: "Mr. Tang, we are friends who have known each other for years, and our friendship started on the battlefield. It stands to reason that yours
You have to buy face, but if you don’t take action on this Wu Min, how can you frighten the officials in the world!"
This is not the first time that Old Man Tang has done business with Li Chengqian. Based on his understanding of Li Chengqian, there is basically no room for maneuver when the prince says this.
But he had to say that he came with the instructions of Keming and Xuanling. They also saw that the prince was angry and could not persuade him, so they asked him, a eloquent person, to come to Chengqing Hall to persuade him.
"Your Highness, can you allow me to tell you my reasons? If my reasons can't make you change your mind, then after Your Highness signs this dismissal, I will turn around and leave without saying anything else." During the conversation, Old Tang followed.
Put the leather sheet in your sleeves on the table.
Seeing Old Tang's unprecedented seriousness, Li Chengqian also spread his hands: "You are the kind of person who can't listen to advice, so just say it."
"Your Highness, this Wu Min used the pretext of collecting tax arrears to flatter powerful people and lost the dignity of the court. This is his fault. Especially the money spent is public money. Your Highness wants to dismiss him from office. I have nothing to say.
.
But isn’t it a bit harsh to be exiled to Yazhou? There are a few people who can come back alive after going to that place, so it’s better to just kill them.”
"Yes, you don't care about this guy's life or death. This bastard doesn't even understand who he eats and who he feeds. Keeping him is a waste of food. But you have to look at Wu Guang's face. The civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, who are you?
You don’t have to buy it to save face, but you have to buy it from him..."
Seeing Li Chengqian's invitation gesture to him, Tang Jian quickly went on to talk about Wu Guang. Wu Guang, also known as Heita, followed Zhai Rang, Li Mi, Wang Shichong and others in his early years. In the first year of Wude, when Wang Shichong fought with the Tang army in Jiuqu, he followed Cheng Zhijie.
, Qin Shubao and Niu Jinda defected to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yuan sent Pengcheng Gong Liu Dewei to greet him and pay homage to the Kaifu. He was assigned to the Qin King Li Shimin as the commander-in-chief of the Zuo Ma Army. He followed the Qin King Li Shimin in his expeditions for a long time. He conquered Liu Wuzhou, defeated King Kong of the Song Dynasty, pacified Dou Jiande, surrendered to Wang Shichong, etc., and enfeoffed Quanling County.
Founder of the Kingdom.
In June of the ninth year of Takeori, he followed Duan Zhixuan to participate in the Xuanwumen Incident, and participated in the execution of Li Jiancheng with meritorious service. After the achievement, he was awarded the title of Lieutenant General of Youxunweifu and was granted the title of Founding Duke of Xinxiang County.
In the first year of Zhenguan, he was awarded Zhonglang General of Zuowei. In the second year of Zhenguan, he was awarded the governor of Danzhou. It was not until the beginning of this year that he returned to Beijing to recuperate due to the recurrence of his old illness.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this old boy was also the head guard when he was in the Qin Palace. His wife, Lu, was also the female official next to Queen Sun. It can be said that Li Chengqian grew up around his neck.
Yes, Lao Wu even saved Li Chengqian's life several times. If he hadn't been transferred to the Left Guard Army later, then he would be the leader of the guards in the East Palace today...
"Your Highness, have you forgotten all this? If you deal with his brother for such a trivial matter, how will you see General Wu in the future?
There is also the hypocrite Cen Wenwen, who pretended to be dead when he asked the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel to go through the formalities, as if he had been wronged. Your Highness, you can't bear the reputation of abandoning your loyal ministers just because you are happy for a moment."
Nonsense, of course Li Chengqian didn't know about his relationship with Wu Heitai. He hadn't come to Datang yet at that time. The blame was on that little kid because he was too young and had incomplete memory.
Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened, and Cen Wenwen was asked to make a joke. Thinking of this guy's performance last night, Li Chengqian was sure that this guy was venting his anger on Li Ke, who was driven to Anzhou by the emperor.
"Mr. Tang, did Wu Guang ask you to come?"
Haha... After laughing a few times, Tang Jian licked his shoehorned face and said: "Your Highness, you underestimate me. He is not qualified to ask me to speak for him...
..., I heard from Keming that the boy has not seen His Highness for several years, so he is a little unfamiliar, and he is still blowing wind at Shuntian Gate at the moment..."
After listening to Old Tang's words, Li Chengqian took a sip of the tea presented by Heng Lian, and then said: "Call Wu Guang to come in. With such heavy snow, if he is allowed to stay at Shuntian Gate any longer, the name of this evil person will be lost."
Really."
"Yes, the old minister is about to return to the official department. Let me tell that boy by the way." After saying this, he took out a slip from his sleeve, put it on Li Chengqian's table, and put the leather slip back into his sleeve again.
inside.
Good guy, what the old man brought out was a blank adjustment order. It seemed that he was sure that he would change his mind. Then the monarch and his ministers also looked at each other and smiled, and everything was gone...
.
Li Chengqian has always been a person who breaks his promises and makes money. Anyone who knows him knows that once he decides something, not even nine cows can pull him back. But this time, he must regret it once. Wu Guang and his wife not only treat that little brat
He has fulfilled his duty as a courtier and invested a huge amount of emotion. This is a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid.
I have taken over someone else's body and enjoyed countless benefits brought by this identity. What does it mean to return a favor to someone else? Forget it, just break your promise and let Cen Wenwen laugh once. Anyway, it won't happen.
