Chapter 229: I Dare to Kill You
Li Shimin listened to the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't help but glance at the eldest grandson Wuji suspiciously.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that His Majesty's face was a little strange, after all, he was Li Shimin's hair, according to his many years of experience with Li Shimin, he always felt that His Majesty was ...... at this time Something seems unusual.
How did he know that Li Shimin at this time was already in turmoil in his heart.
Tiele nine surnames were defeated, most of the Tiele people surrendered to the Tuyuhun people, only a few remnants insisted on resisting, but most of them were surrounded and killed.
This battle ...... Tuyuhun District 30,000 iron horsemen, it only took more than ten days to kill this seemingly powerful Tiele tribe into a river of blood.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and read the report twice in a row before he was convinced of the news.
Then, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a very strange look.
Immediately after, his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai's body again.
"Your Majesty......" Eldest Sun Wuji said in a low voice: "What happened in Xiazhou?" β
"Let's talk about Chen Zhengtai's fornication with the Tiele Department first." Li Shimin actually took the initiative to make this request.
Then he said: "Zhu Qing is full of righteous indignation today, what do you want me to do? β
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Everyone looked at Li Shimin and couldn't guess what His Majesty meant for a while.
Eldest Sun Wuji already felt that something was wrong at this time.
He is a person who is good at controlling the situation, the so-called anticipation of the enemy's opportunity, and the reaction of everyone in the palace today is under his control, including His Majesty's hesitation to deal with Chen Zhengtai.
But now......
His Majesty's performance made the eldest grandson Wuji feel like he was out of control.
Thereupon...... He became much more cautious: "Your Majesty, this is a big deal, and it is Your Majesty's holy judgment. β
But Liu Feng and the others didn't follow it.
It's all here, everything that should be said has been said, is the Chen family so easy to offend? Now that he has been offended, of course he is going to die.
In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial history is very strong, they have a good reputation, and they have the responsibility of supervision, scolding the emperor and scolding hundreds of officials, the more they provoke people, the more they show their character.
Liu Feng said awe-inspiringly: "The minister said that he asked for a thorough investigation of Chen Zhengtai's fornication with Tiele people. Starting with Chen Zhengtai, there are also his relatives, and all the industries of the Chen family...... The so-called Qing is self-purifying, Chen Zhan is an official of the imperial court, and he is favored by His Majesty, and now there are rumors outside, and he wants to investigate to the end! β
Li Shimin sighed suddenly.
At this time...... Li Shimin actually began to reflect on himself.
It's just that this introspection is not aimed at Chen Zhengtai, but at Liu Feng......
At this time, he thought to himself, I believe that someone can give advice at any time, and he thinks that by doing so, I and the hundred officials can stay awake at any time.
But...... Is this really the right thing to do?
What if these imperial histories are also selfish?
Li Shimin stared at Liu Feng, and suddenly said word by word: "What if I don't want to investigate thoroughly?" β
"Your Majesty is a holy king." Liu Feng said confidently: "If Your Majesty refuses to investigate thoroughly, the minister has already said it, and the minister is willing to be outside the Taiji Gate...... Kneel to death! Your Majesty will be directly admonished by the minister. β
This is a dead letter.
According to Liu Feng's many years of experience in doing imperial history, Li Shimin must stand up at this time, admit his mistakes, and adopt his suggestions.
Li Shimin immediately smiled faintly: "Is this so?" Are you the only one willing to die? β
The people behind Liu Feng were silent, although many people followed Liu Feng to coax, but they also noticed that His Majesty seemed to be a little different.
And...... Death cannot be played casually, even if His Majesty makes a compromise in the end, it is easy to leave a bad impression in His Majesty's eyes.
Your Majesty may swallow your anger now, and who knows that decades later, you will suddenly remember this incident, clean up your children and grandchildren, or dig up your grave and whip the corpse.
Of course, the benefits are not nothing, this move may be favored by Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the ministry, at least during his lifetime, he may have a chance to rise to the top.
Seeing that all the ministers were silent.
Li Shimin immediately looked at Liu Feng, sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then...... Liu Qing's house, please go to Taijimen. β
Liu Feng: "......"
He thought he had misheard.
No, Your Majesty shouldn't be like this.
He couldn't react for a while: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" β
Li Shimin said coldly: "You are a minister, you have to count when you speak, now go to Taijimen immediately, kneel for me, as long as you have a breath, you are never allowed to stand up!" β
Liu Feng was stunned...... Originally, at this time, people should subconsciously beg for mercy, but Liu Feng is different, he is the imperial history, after listening to His Majesty's affectionate words, he immediately became angry in his heart, and he said righteously: "Your Majesty, is this going to be a faint king?" β
These words seemed to give Li Shimin a lot of stimulation, and Li Shimin suddenly roared: "Come on, send Liu Qing's family on the road." β
Liu Feng originally righteously denounced Li Shimin as a faint king, but in fact, he was the last resort, the purpose was to remind Li Shimin to learn from history.
But where do you know...... Li Shimin's words came, his heart was cold, but he still couldn't remember it.
Several guards had come in like wolves, Liu Feng refused to leave, and hurriedly said: "The minister wants to explain ......"
Li Shimin was unmoved, and even the look in his eyes became more and more cold.
Several of the guards obeyed his orders, and without hesitation, they had already pulled him and dragged him by the arm.
Liu Feng was a little panicked.
As the imperial historian, his only bargaining chip is that the current emperor wants face.
Because the emperor wants face, I quote the scriptures, and after scolding, not only can you not be angry, but you also have to make a look of thanking you for scolding me.
But he can't stand Li Shimin, and now he has torn his face, and he doesn't even care if he is a faint king or not.
Liu Feng was a little flustered, so he ...... He subconsciously looked at the eldest grandson Wuji.
The eldest grandson, don't sit idle, I burned a chicken at night and didn't eat it.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw him look at him, and then nodded at him and gave him a look.
This look seems to say, don't worry, there is an old man, I will be able to protect you.
All of a sudden...... Liu Feng finally settled down, the eldest grandson Xianggong is the world's first-class favorite minister, with him nodding, it seems that he can still go home for dinner at night.
So, he shouted: "Don't drag the old man, the old man will go by himself."
Temple...... It was quiet again.
Everyone didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly come like this.
It's just that...... The official was convicted for his words, which is really a bit excessive.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he didn't say anything, because this matter was very serious, and he didn't need to open his mouth, so naturally someone interceded for Liu Feng.
Really...... Someone spoke.
It's just that the person who spoke was Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling actually didn't want to get involved in this endless controversy, but His Majesty's move made him feel that he had broken the rules between the monarch and the minister.
So Fang Xuanling said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Liu Feng is the imperial history, how can he be punished for his words?" Your Majesty wants to rule the world, and if you can listen to the words of the imperial history, you can listen to it, but you can't listen to it...... If you don't listen, why ......"
Li Shimin said confidently: "Did I cure Liu Feng's crime?" It was he himself who was going to kneel and die in Taijimen, I was just fulfilling his request, how could I cure his sin? β
I pushed it back in one sentence, and there was nothing wrong with it, but isn't that the case!
Fang Xuanling: "......"
Fang Xuanling felt that he couldn't find anything to say, and besides, it meant fighting with His Majesty to the end!
At this time, someone howled: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Chen Zhengtai is guilty of a lot of sin, colluding with Tiele, and His Majesty will not cure his crimes. And Liu Yushi insisted on righteousness, how could His Majesty bear to let him die in the sun and rain outside the Taiji Gate, Liu Yushi's body is weak, but he has just done his duty as a minister......"
Li Shimin looked at this person, and suddenly said coldly: "Even if Chen Zhengtai colludes with Tie Le, I will never be guilty." β
When these words came out, they directly gave people a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu of Emperor Yang of Sui.
The whole hall was shocked.
Chen Zhengtai was not surprised, he just watched what happened in the hall happily and watched from the wall.
At this time...... There are also many people who want to be eager to try and criticize His Majesty for being so kind to Chen Zhengtai...... It was not the work of the Holy King.
But Li Shimin didn't give them a chance again, he said word by word: "Because...... The Tiele Department has disappeared, Xiazhou came to the report, the Tiele Department was destroyed, Tuyuhun annexed Tiele, the momentum was huge, after the annexation of Tiele, Tuyuhun now has 100,000 iron horses, more than 200,000 herdsmen, and more slaves and cattle and horses are countless! β
"Okay, tell me how my protΓ©gΓ© colluded with Tieler. I tell you, quite the opposite......"
Li Shimin said sharply: "On the contrary, Chen Zhengtai said to me at the beginning, saying that he needed to support the Tiele Ministry, the Tiele Ministry's internal instability, and the Tiele Ministry, which had the thirteen surnames, was loose, and it was a group of rabble. Although Tuyuhun has few soldiers, he has absorbed a large number of Han officials and craftsmen, knows how to smelt steel, and will sooner or later become a big problem for my Datang in the future. But as for Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing used these words as an excuse to accuse my protΓ©gΓ© of colluding with Tie Le. β
"I regret not listening to Chen Zhengtai's words, where did I think of it...... This Tiele Department is so vulnerable, now that Tiele has been swallowed, it is too late to regret it, since then, the strength of this Tuyuhun has increased several times, if they continue to encroach on other grasslands, it won't be long before my Datang will face a more powerful enemy than the Turks, and you ...... You are the sinners of the Thousand Years! β
Tiele Department ...... Perished?
In an instant, everyone's color changed, and they were all shocked!
No one expected it...... Everyone has been arguing for so long, but it turns out to be such an ending.
This seemingly powerful Tiele Department was destroyed and withered by Tugu Hun in an instant, which was something that no one expected.
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he was immediately struck by lightning, and his body froze.
He couldn't imagine that those Tuyuhun envoys who cried to him about how weak they were, actually hid such a powerful strength.
