Records of Emperor Taizong Xuanwu 1

After Emperor Xuanwu of Taizong and Yuan Xi established the Jin Dynasty, his wife Gao Yue was made queen. Gao Yue was a virtuous and virtuous woman. Like the eldest grandson, she often advised her husband Yuan Xi to be diligent in political affairs.

She would correct Yuan Xi every time he did something ridiculous. Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi respected Gao Yue very much.

In order to express his love for her, Yuan Xi wanted to build a "Fengyi Palace".

Sikong Tianfeng immediately objected firmly and advised Yuan Xi, "Your Majesty, the dragon has not been in power for a long time, so it is not appropriate to carry out such large-scale construction projects. Now that the Jin Dynasty has created a weak national power, and the people have not yet received the kindness, there will inevitably be complaints. If you continue to toss, the country will be in danger."

After hearing this, Emperor Taizong Xuanwu Yuan Xi became furious and cursed angrily: "I am the emperor. Do I need to ask an old man like you to build a palace? Come here, arrest Tian Feng for me, along with his wife." The sons and daughters will be beheaded together.”

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng had a stubborn temper, broke away from the warrior, ran to the imperial garden, tied himself tightly to a pear tree with an iron chain, circled the iron chain several times around his waist, and then locked it.

The warriors who arrived wanted to pull him out and kill him, but they couldn't open the iron rope, so they were in a hurry and had no choice.

Tian Feng was still shouting to the palace: "Your Majesty, it is not a pity for me to be killed. I died loyally. But everyone in the world will call your Majesty a coward. Your Majesty, please think again."

Emperor Taizong Xuanwu Yuan Xi heard Tian Feng's arrogance in the main hall and was so angry that he wanted to behead Tian Feng immediately.

At this time, Queen Gao Yue came immediately after hearing the news and said seriously: "Thanks to your majesty's love, I feel a great honor to build a palace specifically for Wujia. But Tian Feng is the founding father of the country, a loyal minister who speaks out loud and dares to remonstrate. Such a minister Just what the country needs. If such a loyal minister was killed because of me, wouldn't I become a sinner through the ages like Daji and Baosi? I have seen many examples of women causing harm to the country, and I have always taken them as a warning. I never thought that I would have to do so today. She has turned into that kind of woman. If Your Majesty insists on killing Tian Sikong, then Wu Gu would rather commit suicide than leave a lasting infamy."

It's true that one thing brings another down. When Yuan Xi saw Gao Yue like this, the anger he had just felt was instantly extinguished.

Immediately, he led Tiger Marquis Xu Chu to go and pardon Tian Feng.
