Anecdotes and allusions

On Li Shen

Li Fengji, the prime minister, took the opportunity to frame up Li Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of household, who opposed supporting Li Zhan, the emperor of Tang Dynasty. Jingzong, who was only 16 years old, did not know the truth. Li Shen was facing a capital crime, and no civil or military official of Manchu Dynasty dared to speak up. Wei chuhou and Li Shen were Jinshi of the same year, and Shangshu argued for them. He said: Li Shen was an important Minister of the former dynasty. Even if he made mistakes, he should be given a chance to mend his ways. Moreover, none of them was innocent. They were framed by Li Fengji's friends. The book of songs says: slander is reckless and confronts the four countries. Since ancient times, emperors have never been far away from gentlemen and near villains to achieve peace. He also cited the old stories of dezongjian's middle age and reasoned that Yang Yan framed Liu Yan to avenge Yuanzai, and Lu Qi framed Yang Yan to make the government in chaos after he came to power. After hearing this, Jingzong realized that Li Shen would not die and was demoted to Duanzhou Sima.

However, the reason why you do not die is that your Majesty was in the spring palace when you were 15 years old. Now that the crown prince is only one year old, I have to risk my life to give advice. " Jingzong understood Wei chuhou's good intentions and gave him brocade and silverware to show his remonstrance.
