I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Drunken, he now feels that he is very confident, the left and right are just some gods or something, and Zhengyang Gong is suppressing here, even if there is, they dare to come and make trouble?

And he didn't keep his voice down.

Don't say that Yin Xuan is in the kitchen and can't hear him, even now that Yin Xuan is in front of him, he dares to praise Yin Xuan so loudly.

It can even be praised more disgustingly.

These readers may have some doubts, but they are quickly dispelled by statements like this.

If they are like this, let alone those ordinary people.In their eyes, this was Duke Zhengyang finally using his authority seriously once.

In the past, only merchants and a small number of ordinary people enshrined the God of Wealth in their homes.

just now…

Almost every household is preparing to invite the God of Wealth.

This is a living God of Wealth!
Compared to the excitement in Chang'an City, the hearts of these people from aristocratic families also boiled up, not to say...they also want to invite the God of Wealth to come.They were excited and finally caught Yin Xuan's handle.

In court the next day.

Wang Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and participated in a play: "I have something to play."

Li Shimin nodded.

There was a little anger in Wang Gui's voice: "I heard that Lord Zhengyang disrespected the etiquette and changed the destiny arbitrarily. This is an act of disobedience to Chang Lun and overstepping. I implore Your Majesty to punish him."

Changing destiny?

These four words somewhat touched the heartstrings of Li Shimin and some people who had not heard about it.

Mandate of Heaven has been tied to the emperor since the Han Dynasty.

The emperor is the destiny.

Others claim to be the destiny, or say they want to change their fate against the sky, and the subtext is to... usurp the throne and conspire against them.In this regard, Tang Law does have strict requirements.

Things like Yin Xuan's doing, if it is trivial, you can pretend not to see it, but if it is really serious, you can also be charged with "disrespect" among the ten evils.

"Tell me, how did you change the destiny." Li Shimin waved his hand, but he didn't hear about it, neither did Li Yuan when he came back yesterday, neither did the people from Baiqisi.

It's impossible for all these people to abandon themselves and leave such a big news without making an announcement.

Wang Gui recounted what happened yesterday.

The faces of the officials turned serious.

Li Shimin's face softened a bit, he still thought it was something, it was just another day.

"Such a trivial matter, do we have to bring it up to the court?" Li Shimin shook his head and waved his hand, with dissatisfaction on his face.

Wang Gui made a bow and said: "Your Majesty, although it is a trivial matter, the embankment of a thousand miles can be destroyed by an ant's nest. When I look at Chang'an inside and outside, no one feels strange about it."

"For a long time, could it be that Zhengyang Gongfang is the destiny of heaven, and His Majesty..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but it was alarmist.

Some officials couldn't help raising their eyebrows. What does this mean?Are you saying that His Majesty will lose popular support?
Fang Xuanling couldn't stand it anymore, he started this matter, if Yin Xuan was punished because of his problems, even if it only caused Li Shimin and Yin Xuan to have a bad relationship, then the guilt in his heart would surge like a wave Come.

"Wang Shangshu's words are wrong." Fang Xuanling turned his head, glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "In the past, the sage Kong Qiu traveled to various countries, and no one clamored that he should be made king."

"Aren't you too eager to put on a big hat when you say this?"

Wang Shang was expressionless in his writing: "How can the sage Kongqiu and even the sage master, and Lord Zhengyang's change of fate against the sky, be the same?"

Fang Xuanling sneered: "Duke Zhengyang is revered by the people as the God of Wealth, and His Majesty has also worshiped the God of Wealth. It's just a matter of his duty to change a day into an auspicious day by edict."

Li Shimin's expression became strange.

There is such a thing...

But at this time, bringing up such a bad thing, is it really arguing for Yin Xuan, rather than embarrassing himself?

"The embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest." Wang Gui did not give an inch, and repeated this sentence again.

Du Ruhui knew about this, so he stood up and spoke for Fang Xuanling: "Mr. Zhengyang is the son of destiny, is there any doubt about that?"

As soon as he said these words, the entire court fell silent.

even…

A look of surprise appeared on Li Shimin's face.

What does it mean?
"Duke Zhengyang is the son of destiny, but now he is His Majesty's son-in-law. The reason why he ordered an auspicious day is to get married earlier."

"He has never relied on his status, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. He is the son of the destiny, and His Majesty is the one to whom the destiny belongs."

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui paused for a moment, suddenly raised his voice, and said sharply: "What is your intention to sow discord between His Majesty and Duke Zhengyang?"

The best way to deal with a person who puts a label on Wang Gui is not to reason with him nicely, but to use his own methods to deal with him, which is also to put a big label on him.

Li Shimin felt much more at ease.

There is no way to deny Yin Xuan's achievements and prestige, and Li Shimin knows it well, but in terms of reputation, it is only in the hearts of the people in Chang'an City, and he may really be inferior to Yin Xuan.

If you belittle Yin Xuan and praise Li Shimin, you will be a courtier, and Li Shimin hates this kind of person the most.

Du Ruhui was different.

He was telling the truth, but he took a different approach, boasting that Li Shimin was "destined by destiny", can an emperor feel more fulfilled than these four words?

Wang Gui didn't change his expression: "I'm just worried about His Majesty."

"This son's fangs are so ferocious, it is too threatening to His Majesty and my Great Tang."

"If he doesn't enter the court, what threat is there!" Fang Xuanling sneered, squinting, and his eyes fell like knives.

Wang Gui said coldly: "Then what if he wants to enter the imperial court in the future?"

"When he wants to enter the imperial court and raise his arms, he will be the master of the Tongfu Academy."

Many people lowered their heads, for example... Zhou Xiaosan.

This is indeed a question that should be considered.

Fang Xuanling ignored Wang Gui, but turned his head towards Li Shimin, and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think... since the common people recognize Lord Zhengyang as the God of Wealth, why don't they worship Lord Zhengyang as the God of Wealth?"

It is common for the son of heaven to canonize the gods.

For example, the city god of martial arts was canonized by Li Shimin. In addition to the god of the city god, he also had the title of "King Fude".

Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

Yup!

In fact, he was somewhat worried about Wang Gui's words. If Yin Xuan really wanted to... When he was still alive, he should be able to suppress it for a while.

But after his death, who can control Yin Xuan?
Adding the title of title to Yin Xuan now is to appease Yin Xuan so that he will not interfere in the court in the future.

Now Fang Xuanling proposed a good solution.

You have become the God of Wealth, so you don't have to be greedy for power in the world.
