Records of Emperor Taizong Xuanwu 2

Jin Wang Yuan Xi became the emperor. First of all, he granted amnesty to the world, exempted from taxes for one year, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Taishi. There are differences between civil and military officials. His wife Gao Yue was made queen, and Prince Yuan Yong was made crown prince.

Yuan Yong was fond of literature and respected Confucian scholars and officials.

Emperor Taizong Xuanwu Yuan Xile said to Situ Gaorou: "My son Yuan Yong is jealous of Confucianism and is weak. He is not like the son of a general. What does Situ mean?"

Gao Rou cupped her hands and persuaded: "Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, conquered the world with his horse, and Xiaowen guarded it with his mysterious voice. After the saints, there will be those who win and kill. This is the way of heaven. I hope your majesty will not miss it."

Yuan Xi looked at him carefully for a long time and said slowly, "Situ's words are reasonable, I almost don't think about it."

Gao Rou took the opportunity to say: "The Crown Prince is benevolent, filial, gentle and courteous, and it is difficult for the Grand Sima Zhongshan King Yuan Mai to control the mighty force. Once Your Majesty reveals this, I am afraid that the country will not be owned by the Crown Prince. It is better to gradually seize the military power of the King of Zhongshan so that the Crown Prince can participate in the political affairs as early as possible." "

Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi agreed in his heart, but failed to follow. After all, they were brothers, because Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were both killed by Yuan Xi, so in order to reduce the discussion about him by future generations.

Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi treated Zhongshan King Yuan Mai very kindly.

A few days later, Situ Gaorou once again advised Taizong Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Xi: "The King of Zhongshan is brave and powerful, and his officials cannot match him. Looking at his ambition, everyone except His Majesty will despise him. Moreover, the King of Zhongshan has been a general for a long time. He is so powerful both inside and outside. Your Majesty is here, so you should be without him. He might not be a minister of the young master. It is better to get rid of him as soon as possible for the sake of planning."

Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi said with a look of displeasure: "The world is not at peace today. My son is too young, so he should be given strong support. The king of Zhongshan is a close relative of flesh and blood, and has the ability to support orders. He should be entrusted with the duties of Yi and Huo. How can he be like Situ?" As you said! Situ is afraid that he will not be able to master the power of the emperor and his uncle; I should also join Situ and take care of his life, so as not to worry too much."

Gao Rou kowtowed again and said: "I am concerned about the affairs of the public family, but your Majesty rejects me with personal plans. How can loyal words come in? Although the King of Zhongshan was raised by Emperor Taizu Wu, he is not your Majesty's natural descendant. Although he has some minor flaws, It is enough for Your Majesty to repay his kindness and honor for his merits, but if his ambition is endless, how will it benefit him in the future! If he does not get rid of it today, I will see that the ancestral temple will not eat blood."

Seeing Gao Rou's divisive words, Emperor Xuanwu was angry and undecided.

After Situ Gaorou resigned, he said to his son Gao Su, "The King of Zhongshan often gnashes his teeth at my father and son. I am afraid that it will not only endanger the country, but also cause trouble to the family. As a father, I have to do this."

The next day, Gao Rou told Emperor Xuanwu: "There is nothing wrong with the country today. However, the King of Zhongshan relies on your majesty's power and strategy to conquer everything. The whole world says that the king of Zhongshan is more heroic and martial than your majesty. And it is close to the time of the banquet in the East Palace. The King of Zhongshan seems to be underestimating the Crown Prince. I am afraid that your Majesty will not be able to replicate it in ten thousand years. Your Majesty should have thought about it earlier."

Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Xi was silent for a long time, and then ordered the prince Yuan Yong to record the affairs of the minister, and appointed Sima Yi as the Taiwei.
