Chapter 99: Official Demotion to the Second Level (20th Update)
No matter how reluctant Xu Jingzong was, he was still carried to the Taiji Palace by Cheng Biting Jin like a chicken.
When the guards saw the comer, they were a little frightened and got out of the way.
"Quickly report to the emperor, and say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to do with me! Request to meet the Holy One! ”
Cheng Yanjin said.
As soon as the guards heard this, they hurriedly entered the Taiji Palace to report.
A moment later, someone preached: "The emperor is invited!" ”
In this way, Cheng Yanjin took Xu Jingzong and entered the Taiji Palace after Li Chengqian.
When they arrived, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair.
On the side is the eldest grandson queen.
When Li Shimin saw this, he asked, "Zhijie, what are you doing here?" Why did you catch Xu Jingzong? ”
If it was usual, Xu Jingzong would have jumped to his feet a long time ago.
But now it's different, he fell for the trick, and he was stupidly drunk for a thousand days, and he was also full of alcohol at this time.
When Empress Changsun smelled it, she covered her nose.
"Your Majesty, did any of them drink?"
Li Shimin's face then turned gloomy, who? How dare you drink? Isn't this knowingly committed?
"What's going on?"
"Father, just now, when we passed by Xu Jingzong's house, someone reported that he was drunk for a thousand days, at first we didn't believe it, but when we rushed into his house, we saw that it was true. Such an act of knowing the law and breaking the law cannot be connived! ”
Cheng Yanjin also said: "Yes, yes, yes, I still don't admit it, how can I have this kind of existence in Datang?" What a scumbag! ”
Empress Eldest Sun frowned.
"Is this true?"
Li Chengqian then said: "Queen Mother, it's true, the sons still have a thousand days of drunkenness here. and Xu Jingzong's alcohol smell can also prove everything. ”
He took out everything he had prepared in advance, and since he was calculating, he had to do a full set and directly kill Xu Jingzong.
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that if this is the case, then the implementation of this prohibition seems to be no longer suitable for Xu Jingzong!"
Li Shimin did not speak, but stared at Xu Jingzong tightly with his eyes.
At this time, Xu Jingzong was uncomfortable, so he shouted wildly: "Your Majesty, the minister was wronged, and someone framed the minister!" ”
Cheng Yanjin shouted: "Boldly Xu Jingzong, people get stolen goods, what else do you have to say?" ”
Xu Jingzong still doesn't admit it.
Li Chengqian said:
"Father, this person is lucky, just now he also involved this matter to the Emperor Taishang, saying what the Emperor gave him, in this way, it is not tenable at all. Emperor Taishang lived happily in Daqing Palace, and he didn't ask Xu Jingzong, why did he send him a thousand days to get drunk? ”
When Li Chengqian said this, Xu Jingzong said that he didn't say a word, and logically speaking, that's how it is. He couldn't find any evidence, if he did, if Li Yuan didn't admit it, what could he do? And when it comes to this incident, how can the Emperor Taishang admit it? Isn't that looking for a draw?
Saying anything will not fulfill the wish of King Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong is a smart person, and he also knows that this time, it can be regarded as being planted in Li Chengqian's hands.
He is also powerless to refute and to adduce evidence.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xu Jingzong is no longer suitable to be this alcohol prohibition official, and besides, if he knows the law and violates the law, he will be severely punished!"
Cheng Yanjin said.
Li Shimin did not give a direct order, but asked the eldest grandson queen on the side.
"Guanyin, what do you think?"
Empress Eldest Sun said a fair word.
"People with stains really have to be used carefully, I think Li Jing may be more suitable for this position!"
Although Empress Changsun did not indicate it, the latter sentence was very obvious, that is, let Li Jing replace it.
Li Shimin nodded.
"Good! It was up to Li Jing to replace Xu Jingzong's official position! ”
After finishing, he began to shout fiercely: "Okay, you Xu Jingzong, it is in vain that I trust you so much, but you are doing such a thing, which really makes me feel cold!" ”
"Your Majesty, I was wronged!"
Xu Jingzong tried to redeem it, but it was all too late.
Li Shimin has already given the order.
"Xu Jingzong, you know the law and break the law, if you don't see me, you will be demoted to the second level and fined for three months! Let's pull out and play the top ten boards! As a punishment! ”
In ancient times, when you were an official, the most heard was that the official was demoted a few levels, because sometimes, if the emperor was unhappy, it was possible for him to directly ask you to pack.
"Your Majesty! ……”
Xu Jingzong tried to talk to Li Shimin.
But he was stopped by Li Chengqian, and he said coldly:
"Pull it out! Hurry up! ”
Xue Rengui took the order and directly pulled Xu Jingzong out.
When Xu Jingzong saw that it was him, he was immediately frightened and covered in cold sweat.
He tried his best to struggle, but he couldn't break free from Xue Rengui's palm.
Look at this time, it turned out to be Xue Rengui's fight, and now he was completely desperate.
There is an essential difference between the top ten boards of ordinary people and Xue Rengui's top ten boards, if he is executed by Xue Rengui, he Xu Jingzong is afraid that he will not be able to get out of bed for a month!
Xu Jingzong was directly pulled out, and a moment later, a large number of screams came from outside.
As for Li Shimin, he left with the eldest grandson.
The top ten boards were quickly finished, and Li Chengqian and Cheng Yanjin went out and looked at Xu Jingzong, whose entire butt was covered in blood.
There is an indescribable joy in the hearts of the two.
And Li Chengqian even leaned close to Xu Jingzong's ear.
"I know that you sent the assassin that day, and you were the same person who locked this king in a small house that day, and you also had a relationship with the royal family of Wang Guifei...... All these things, every single one, as long as I find evidence, you will die without a place to bury! Today is just a small lesson! ”
Xu Jingzong's eyes were full of fear, this is still a small lesson?
After finishing, he slapped Xu Jingzong's ass again with a wooden plank. The pain made Xu Jingzong scream.
"This is the fate of this king, I hope you go back this time and think about it, if you are willing to turn back, you are still your Xu scholar. It's business as usual, if you don't want to, you know. ”
After that, Li Chengqian stood up.
When he was about to leave, he said another thing that made Xu Jingzong inexplicable.
"Your son is very handsome, and his physical strength must be very good. Your wife is so beautiful, not yet thirty, right? He was like a wolf. And you, can you do it? ”
Li Chengqian hinted like this, no matter how much Xu Jingzong didn't understand, there was no way.
After finishing, he laughed and left, leaving a Xu Jingzong messy there.
As for Cheng Yanjin, he caught up and asked: "Will we go too far by doing this?" ”
Li Chengqian glanced at Cheng Biting Jin.
"Uncle Cheng, where is your previous spirit? When he catches you, will he go too far! ”
"Speaking of which, my old Cheng is going to be angry again!"
Li Chengqian was speechless for a while, ignored it, and left directly.
