Chapter 25: Impeachment Again
"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"
The voice of the little eunuch echoed in the Taiji Hall as usual.
"Your Majesty, Weichen impeached His Royal Highness the King of Chu for doing evil, destroying diplomatic relations, and ignoring the laws of the Tang Dynasty."
Yushi Yang Benman took the lead and broke the tranquility of the early dynasty.
The eldest grandson Wuji was in Wenchen, and when he saw Yang Benman standing up to impeach Li Kuan, he subconsciously glanced back at Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
It just so happened that Lu Kuan also glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the two old foxes smiled at each other, and everything was silent.
It seems that there is more than one smart person in this world, Changsun Wuji, and Lu Kuan is not a fool, otherwise he would not be able to do the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that he would use the hand of the Ministry of Rites to engage Li Kuan, and the Ministry of Rites naturally knew that he would impeach Li Kuan with the help of the Imperial Historical Tower.
Anyway, what Yushitai is doing is to spy on hundreds of officials and impeach hundreds of officials.
No one would think much about whether their impeachment of Li Kuan was instructed or hinted at by anyone.
Among the Yushi Terrace, the relationship between Yang Benman and Li Kuan should be the worst, and it is not surprising that he stood up today.
However, Li Kuan has always been lazy, unless it is a big court meeting, or Li Shimin personally ordered the generals, he is too lazy to participate in the court meeting, so there is no way to see today's scene with his own eyes.
However, in today's situation, Li Kuan is not unprepared.
"Yang Aiqing, what did King Chu do again?"
Yesterday's incident, Li Shimin naturally heard the Baiqi Division mention it, and originally wanted to open one eye and close one eye, but Yang Benman ran out to open the lid again, and Li Shimin was also tired in his heart.
Li Shimin cares very much about the scene of all countries coming to the court, but the Ministry of Rites obviously used too much force, which did not satisfy Li Shimin, no wonder Lu Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in history, was replaced next year.
"Your Majesty, yesterday morning, on the outskirts of Chang'an, on the banks of the Weishui River, the wind and the sun were beautiful, but a strange thing happened, a strange thing, a lawless event. The officials of the Ministry of Rites led the envoys of the Japanese State to enjoy the beautiful scenery of our Tang Dynasty, but they were seriously injured by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and even ...... Even ......"
Yang Benman explained yesterday's situation with added fuel and vinegar, but did not mention anything about Inuichiro deliberately bumping into Qing'er.
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty governs the world with benevolence and righteousness. Morality and righteousness, incivility is not successful, teaching righteousness and vulgarity, and incivility is not prepared. Divide disputes and defend lawsuits, and indecent indecisiveness. Fathers and sons, brothers and sons, indecencies. The eunuch is a teacher, indecent and indecent. The Ban Dynasty governs the army, and the officials do the law, and it is not good to be indecent and majestic. Now that the envoys of the Japanese kingdom have been treated so badly for no reason, I am afraid that it will chill the surrounding vassal countries. ”
As soon as Yang Benman finished speaking, someone from the Ministry of Rites jumped out to support him.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have long admired the outstanding people of the Central Plains, and even ordinary farmers know etiquette, righteousness and shame. Wu'er was not only cut off an arm out of thin air, but now his life and death are unknown, and he was punished like a corrupt punishment, which is really chilling. The foreign minister asked His Majesty to give justice to the dog and an explanation to the vassal states. ”
Inougami Yamada, as the chief envoy of our country to the Tang Dynasty, also attended the Tang Dynasty meeting today.
Originally, this was just an opportunity for our country to see the Tang Dynasty political system, but today it is obviously being used for other purposes.
Seeing Yang Benman and several others jumping out one after another, Li Shimin had a headache.
This Li Kuan really can't be idle for a day.
If you don't do something, the days won't be over.
Isn't it good for you to be your idle prince?
"Xuan Ling, you are the head of the hundred officials, what do you think of this?"
has raised so many officials, at the critical moment, Li Shimin naturally will not stand up and express his views.
In fact, with Fang Xuanling's cleverness, as soon as Li Shimin asked this, he knew which way the balance in His Majesty's heart was tilting.
"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has also heard a little about yesterday's incident, but it is different from what a few people just said. Since so many people are concerned about this matter, according to the minister's opinion, it is better to investigate it carefully, figure out the reason and then decide how to deal with it. ”
Fang Xuanling came to a procrastination trick.
Didn't you all say that this is a serious matter and a bad nature?
Then I will ask people to investigate it well, and when the time comes, let the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Chang'an County and other yamen send people to participate in the investigation and show their attention.
I'm so important, you can't say anything more, can you?
As for when the results of the investigation will come out, that is a matter for later.
No matter how bad it is, you can buy a few days, right?
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is completely conclusive evidence, and there is no need to waste time investigating."
Yang Benman was a little dissatisfied with this result, anyway, as a royal history, it is common to be a-stirring stick, even if the other party is the prime minister of the dynasty.
From this point of view, the atmosphere of the Zhenguan Dynasty is still very good.
"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department received a report from the guards of the Chu Wangfu yesterday, asking the Criminal Department to investigate the assassination of the King of Chu. Originally, Wechen was going to report to His Majesty alone after the early dynasty, but the case seems to be related to the matter discussed now, and Wechen feels that it is necessary to mention it first? ”
Li Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up unexpectedly.
Since leading his troops to destroy the Eastern Turks, Li Jing has become very low-key.
Usually live in a simple place and don't say anything, and it is not easy to express your opinions at the court meeting.
As soon as the voice came out today, there was an assassination case of the king of Chu, which really surprised the ministers.
Li Kuan's arrangements in advance seem to have played a role.
"The assassination of the King of Chu?"
Li Shimin straightened up, his face sank, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Exactly. Yesterday, the king of Chu took a few retinues on an outing by the Weishui River, but he met the assassins of the Japanese Kingdom......"
As a famous general in the army, Li Jing has no good impression of all countries except Datang.
In his opinion, all places that are not included in the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty are guilty of original sin.
"Nonsense, where did the assassination come from? Wu'er just bumped into the servant girl of the king of Chu, and as a result, he suffered this catastrophe. Please summon the King of Chu to come over, and I am willing to confront him personally. ”
Inougami Yamada heard that Li Jing had placed the hat of the assassin King of Chu on Inuichiro's body, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
Whether it is in the Wa Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty, it will not be a trivial matter if it involves the assassination of members of the royal family.
If this name is confirmed, let alone punishing Li Kuan, it is also important to say whether the purpose of sending Tang envoys can be achieved.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was frightened yesterday and fell ill that night, and the old minister personally went to the King of Chu's Mansion last night to see His Highness."
The doctor of Tai Hospital stood up.
It's hard to treat incurable diseases, but it's not difficult at all to make yourself act like you have an incurable disease.
Chao Fang didn't lie, in his opinion, Li Kuan was indeed sick, and his hands and feet were cold.
If Li Kuan was on the side, he would definitely complain, "Nonsense, who can take their hands and feet to soak on the ice cubes and not be cold?" ”
"Your Aiqing's statements are very different, just according to what Xuan Ling said, arrange someone to investigate it clearly."
When Li Shimin saw the scene in front of him, he naturally pushed the boat down the river and the mud, and first confused the matter.
