The emperor is a donkey. He has always been a soft-hearted person. As long as he is willing to speak softly, many things can be passed. Anyone who is familiar with him knows this principle. It is impossible to point to Wei Zheng and say soft-heartedly, so these three grandsons Li Chengqian can only pretend to be himself. Of course, he has done this kind of work many times over the years, and he is familiar with it.

The only fault is that the emperor agreed to pardon Wei Zheng, but he must exile him for three thousand miles. In the emperor's words, Wei Xuancheng despised the imperial power and slandered the king in person. I have been tolerating him for more than ten years and did not let the farmer suffer any hardship. He did not know what the emperor's majesty was!

Therefore, the father and son bargained fiercely for Wei Zheng in Zichen Hall, from the third rank to the fifth rank, from the sixth rank to the eighth rank, and finally before the emperor got angry, Li Chengqian finally gave Wei Zheng a title of a ninth rank city gate official.

There is no way, this old guy forced his father too much, and he would be beaten by him in both official and private affairs. It would be great if he could endure it until today. If it were Yang Guang, the old guy's fate would definitely be worse than Xu Jingzong's father.

As soon as Li Chengqian left Zichen Hall, Yu Shinan, who had been outside for a long time, walked over quickly and asked nervously: "Your Highness, what did Your Majesty say?"

After sighing, Li Chengqian replied with relief: "Duke Yu, Your Majesty agrees to pardon Wei Zheng, remove the position of Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, and demote him to Mingde Gate City Gate Order, and his four sons will return their posts. Go and tell Wei Zheng to take care of him, I will not be able to do it many times."

The grace of the Tian family is clear. Over the years, Wei Zheng's favor in the emperor has become increasingly weak. Too much presumptuous can only bring disaster to him. Today's demotion is to teach him a lesson. There are always ups and downs in the officialdom, but if you want to save the family's honor and disgrace, you must make reasonable and well-founded advice, otherwise he may not end up as comfortable as Xiao Yu.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old minister naturally wakes up, don't worry." After saying that, Yu Shinan turned around and left.

That night, after the Duke of Zheng's mansion left Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang and others who came to suppress him, Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan were playing chess and drinking tea, and by the way, they were talking about what happened in the palace today.

After falling into one son, Yu Shinan stared at the chessboard and said slowly: "Xuancheng, you really have nothing to say. You don't know what your Majesty is. What you say is ugly. Fortunately, the Crown Prince helps today, otherwise you and your father and son would be trapped in the hands of the foolish guy in the Yuchi family."

"Okay, this time I demoted you to the city gate order and gave you a memory. I dare not disobey Your Majesty like today. Xuancheng, I don't need to say that you should understand that sometimes you need to be flexible and there are many ways to give advice. So what if you are a little more lively? You can't let your descendants suffer with them!"

Alas, after sighing, Wei Zheng took the chess piece, raised his eyebrows and replied, "Duke Yu, since Wei Zheng followed His Majesty, he has always gained a foothold in the court with offending Yan Zhigui. This cannot be said to what others dare not say, so Wei Zheng's existence is meaningless, so I forgive my younger generation for not obeying the order."

After leaving a son, Wei Zheng thought for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty's intention to cultivate the prince is nothing more than not wanting to lose the imperial power, so that the Li family will always have absolute authority. Even if the prince doesn't say it, I will know this."

"The only thing that makes me unable to see clearly is the prince. Today he said that I love the Tang Dynasty, not our Li family. I can see us, the old world so clearly at a young age, and my scheming is not inferior to that of Your Majesty today. Logically speaking, as a minister, I should be happy, but I am really worried about him. Yang Guang was so glorious when he was young, otherwise Emperor Wen would not have acted to depose and enthrone.

There is also the prince who likes to conquer and will come to the front line every time he fights. In the future, our Tang Dynasty will either have a waste of money and a king who will destroy the people or a king who will destroy the country like Yang Guang."

Wei Zheng's worries naturally have his own reasons. If a superior, especially an emperor, wants to achieve great achievements, he must endure great hardships and tolerate others. Qin Xiaogong was able to tolerate them, so with the success of Shang Yang's reforms, King Huiwen could tolerate others, so he could go east to compete for the Central Plains.

Li Chengqian has both of these two rare qualities. He has been a commoner for ten years and has built a force that no one dares to underestimate. His reserve position is extremely stable, and he has turned his hands into a reversal in the court. In addition, the emperor's attitude towards him was to say without any accidents, it would be basically a foregone conclusion that if there were no accidents, it would be a foregone conclusion that he would be the next emperor.

"Xuancheng, I'm saying something unpleasant today. Whether the prince is good or bad, it's your Majesty's business. You are so old now that you will retire in a few years. It's time to think about it for your descendants. People cannot live too selfishly."

"I have been in a semi-hidden state for many years and have not had much contact with the prince. From his proposal for the King of Qi to saving you today, I can tell you without any hesitation that among the adult princes today, no one is more suitable to inherit the throne than him.

OK, even if you make sense, Your Majesty’s Spring and Autumn Period is in full swing. Although he is a little sick, it is still okay to be a country for twenty years. The younger prince will grow up. Therefore, if you think about the country and the country, it is still unknown how your Majesty chooses in the future. Your worries are unnecessary."

Yu Shinan is a pragmatic and truth-seeking person. You Dao is that there are no young and old on the road to the underworld. He lives forty people in the Tang Dynasty. He is a large number of people. No one knows what will happen in the past twenty years. Perhaps this prince, who is both civil and military, can survive until the throne.

Emperor Zhao of Han, Liu Fuling, Wen Yun, Wen Yunwu, defeated the Wuhuan, pacified the southwest, and held a "Salt and Iron Conference" to create the Zhaoxuan Revival, which once reversed the decline of the Western Han Dynasty, but it collapsed on twenty-one. In history, there were too many examples of such premature death. Wei Zheng, the old stubborn, was worried about what would happen twenty years later. In Yu Shinan's opinion, this was too redundant. It would be better to take advantage of his own life to settle the reality of future generations.

The next day, outside Mingde Gate, Wei Zheng was wearing armor and a knife with a hip. Just like he was the prime minister in the gate, he strictly checked all the people and goods coming and going, and there was no sympathy at all that did not meet the requirements.

This is just because the carriage system surpasses etiquette and law, Wei Zheng detained more than a dozen playboys in the morning and asked them to stand at the base of the wall for the officials and the people to visit. This made all the face-saving playboys lower their heads with shame, fearing that they would be embarrassed by their acquaintances to see it.
