"Shan Aiqing, what kind of expression do you have?" Li Shimin knew what Shan Zhuokun was thinking, and asked deliberately with a straight face, "Do you think I won't dare to punish you?" ”

"Don't dare." Shan Zhuokun cried with a sad face, "The emperor has always been a golden mouth, what is it." If you really want my life, I can only give it with both hands, without saying a word. ”

"Well, it's good to know." Li Shimin bowed slightly, turned around and ordered, "Someone." ”

Lu Yi had just seen the emperor come and had already taken the initiative to stand behind him. At this moment, when he heard the emperor's order, he hurriedly clenched his fists and responded:

"The minister is here."

Li Shimin stared, pointed at Shan Zhuokun with his finger, and said without looking back: "You quickly drag this person who doesn't know the rules of the palace out, and beat him hard, see if he knows how to recognize Xiao Fu next time." ”

When the civil and military officials heard this, the expressions on their faces suddenly changed slightly. Sympathetic, sarcastic, sycophant, indifferent...... There is everything, and it can be described as a hundred holes.

Li Shimin looked around and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As the saying goes, look at the heart with your face. If he hadn't deliberately used this trick to test today, he wouldn't have known that these people were so complicated.

"This ......"

When Lu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. If you want to make mistakes, so everyone is involved in this game, then everyone should have a share. If Lord Shan deliberately contradicted the emperor, with his straightforward and innocent temperament, he did even more ridiculous things as early as when he first entered the court. That is the case, why does the emperor have to act like this today? However, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger. Since the emperor said so, if he does not do what he says, he will also be disobeying the decree. Hey, it's a dilemma.

"Lu Yi, didn't you hear my words? Don't drag people down quickly. ”

Li Shimin saw that Lu Yi was stunned in place, and he was a little relieved in his heart. It is said that he is upright, and when I tried it today, it was true. However, in order to be able to do enough scenes, he said it against his will.

"Yes." Lu Yi saw that the emperor's mind was broken, so he could only clench his fists with both hands and reluctantly respond.

"Wait."

In the crowd, Li Yuanchang saw that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, and he was worried that Shan Zhuokun would suffer a loss, so he decided to come forward to stop him.

"King Han, what do you have to say?"

Li Shimin knew that Li Yuanchang and Shan Zhuokun had always had a good relationship, and when he saw him come forward at this moment, he wanted to listen to what he said.

"Your Majesty, the palace is a ** place, and you shouldn't break the rules. Indeed, today we are at fault, and we are willing to be punished. It's just that if all the mistakes are left to a single adult, I am afraid that it will be biased, and I hope to be judged. ”

Li Yuanchang clasped his hands into fists and replied earnestly.

"Oh? Is it? Li Shimin deliberately made a surprised look, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

When the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they all exchanged heads and talked about it, competing to push it to Shan Zhuokun alone.

They thought that as an old man in the court, the emperor would definitely believe his words and punish this scapegoat heavily. didn't want to, but made the other party's mind more and more troubled, and his face became more and more gloomy. Until the end, it ended with a cough.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you really think you can please me in this way?" Li Shimin's eyes swept in front of everyone one by one, and he said bitterly, "No, you can only make me more sad like this." In the past, I thought that the factors that caused trouble to my Tang Dynasty were in the outside world, so over the years, there have been constant disputes between various ethnic groups, and the flames of war have not been extinguished. Labor and wealth are lost, so that the people are in dire straits. But today it seems that the real evil is not outside, but in this majestic court, in the hearts of each of you. You are all the feudal officials of my Tang Dynasty, and you are the hope of our dynasty. But what did you do today? Falling into the well and passing the buck to colleagues is really chilling to the extreme. ”

The civil and military officials stood with their hands down, and when they heard this, everyone couldn't help but sweat coldly. Although today is just a trivial matter, it can indeed be glimpsed, if the court is really chaotic because of the turmoil of people's hearts, then each of them will be a sinner of the Tang Dynasty.

"Shan Aiqing, I'm going to frighten you today." Li Shimin took the juju from Shan Zhuokun's arms as he spoke, and he looked down at the white ball and sighed, "It's just a small ball, but it can already clearly measure people's hearts." Today's lesson is really rare. ”

After speaking, he looked up at the civil and military officials again, although he did not use any more accusatory words, but the meaning contained in them was also self-evident.

"Your Majesty, you know that your ministers are wrong." The ministers bowed, clasped their fists and said, "I beg the emperor to punish him." ”

Li Shimin looked at them, a sarcastic smile on his lips. He knew that his courtiers were talented and capable. It's just that the stable situation in the past few decades has been like a furnace, and this group of frogs has already been boiled to the ground. Although there are still some people who are exhausted and solve problems for the court, most people's ideas have long been passable. Originally, he didn't feel so deeply about this, but after experiencing today's events, he also knew that this reform was imminent.

That's right, if you want Datang to truly achieve long-term peace and stability and well-being for thousands of years, you must seize the time to implement this matter.

It's just that, according to the current situation, who can be his confidant and wholeheartedly carry this matter forward?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate again.

"Get up." After a moment of silence, he commanded.

The ministers got up from the ground trembling, but they still lowered their heads, holding their breath one by one, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"Your Majesty, if it is as usual, it is already the time to retreat from the dynasty, you see ......"

When Guo Bin saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. Although the actions of the ministers are indeed a bit excessive, they can be regarded as excusable. He saw that the emperor was still unrelenting, and his eyes were full of coldness, so he wanted to relieve him and resolve this embarrassing atmosphere.

"Oh, really?" When Li Shimin saw Guo Bin say this, he immediately understood, "Since this is the case, how about I make an exception today and have a ball game with all Aiqing?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. No matter how bold they were, they would never have imagined that the emperor, who had always been high-minded, would make such a reluctant request.

"Your Majesty, isn't this appropriate?" Guo Bin's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly, "The emperor is the supreme king, how can he do such an absurd and unruly thing, and please take back your life." ”

"I hope that the emperor will take back his order, and don't embarrass his ministers."

The ministers of civil and military affairs fell to their knees and said words of dissuasion in unison.

"Hey, Aiqing's words are so strange, why did I make it difficult for you to wait?" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Although I am the Son of Heaven, as the saying goes, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone. Just now you waited to play so much, it really made my eyes very hot, so you might as well wait and play with me for a while. ”

"This ......"

Although the emperor's words are true, they still make people feel embarrassed. Speaking of which, if you only play with your colleagues, it's not light or heavy, just to have fun for a while. But as long as he thinks that his opponent is the emperor, which one is not numb in the scalp, he doesn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, except for being frightened, there is no other feeling.

"Oh, I said that you guys are really, don't all of them speak so energetically, why don't you even dare to make a sound when it comes to the real chapter?" Seeing that the courtiers were so submissive and hesitant, Yu Chi Baolin smiled and sneered, "It seems to be similar to a fly pinched to death, Your Majesty, since you have this Yaxing to play football today, then Yu Chi Baolin has the courage to ask for help and accompany him to the end." ”

After that, he clasped his hands into fists, looked at Li Shimin with a smile, and waited for the other party's next command.

"The erector is unreasonable."

When a white-bearded and white-haired old minister heard this, he immediately trembled with anger, and immediately reprimanded him loudly.

When Wei Chi Baolin heard this, he showed an aggrieved look, what is the situation, he obviously wanted to obey the emperor's wishes and make him happy, but in the end, he was reprimanded, and it was really easy to dodge the open gun and difficult to defend against the dark arrow, and it was even more difficult to be a good person.

"General Wei Chi is still young, even if he speaks a little recklessly, it is normal, I don't care about him." Li Shimin said with a smile, "Mrs. Zhan doesn't need to be angry, beware of being in a hurry, but it will damage your body." ”

The old minister heard the dissatisfaction in the emperor's words, and hurriedly responded, and then comforted Yu Chi Baolin.

"Okay, all Aiqing don't need to be rigid about etiquette today, just relax and play." Li Shimin said with a smile.

When the ministers saw the emperor acting like this, their nervous mood relaxed, and they responded in unison, so they concentrated and began a fierce competition to bow down.
