Chapter 395: Knocking Zhang Xingcheng

Although Zhang Xingcheng agreed to seal Xue Dading, Li Chengqian did not have much hope that Xue Dading could solve the Yichuan matter.

But now he has no better way but to do it first.

Putting aside the matter in Luoyang for the time being, Li Chengqian turned back to Liu Kui with a serious face and said, "Bring those pieces up." ”

Liu Kui was busy glancing at the small chamberlain at the entrance of the hall, and after a while, two large boxes were brought in by the chamberlain and placed in the middle of the hall.

As soon as Li Chengqian saw these songs, the anger in his heart rushed up, got up and walked around the bookcase step by step with his cane, and walked down the throne.

"Bang ......"

It was the sound of the crutches in Li Chengqian's hand hitting the ground, and the ministers in the palace heard this sound and their hearts were raised, and they didn't dare to continue to sit down, so they got up and looked at Li Chengqian silently.

Li Chengqian didn't look at anyone until he slowly walked to the box, raised his crutches and knocked twice, and asked in a cold voice: "My father has been eating and clothing for decades for the Tang Dynasty, and he is tired and seriously ill. ”

There are Li Chengqian's henchmen in the main hall who feel sad when they hear it, Li Chengqian has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty in the past two years, and it can be said that he has worked hard.

But Zhang Xingcheng and Liu De's hearts jumped suddenly, and they had already guessed what was in the two boxes.

In the past two days, especially Zhang Xingcheng, watching the Manchu ministers impeach Du Zhenglun, his heart was raised, he originally wanted to stop the direct order to reform the election.

However, Li Chengqian has not mentioned this matter since that day, and now these people impeaching Du Zhenglun are actually unknown, but they have really affected the operation of the imperial court.

The court was affected, whether it was him leaking political affairs, or as the only prime minister left behind, he could not escape the guilt.

Listening to Li Chengqian's voice, he was ready to fight back, and without waiting for him to react, he listened to Li Chengqian continue:

"On behalf of the herdsmen, they should be cautious and cautious in order to seek peace and happiness in the world. These are all things that the lonely king should do, and the lonely king does not complain. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Liu Dewei hurriedly took the lead in saluting.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian just snorted coldly, waved his hand and said: "The lone king is not a saint, if the lone king is a saint, how can he be appointed as a minister of the court and the central government, and join forces to force the palace?"

Speaking of this, he lifted his cane again and knocked on the box hard, and said loudly: "You all open your eyes and see, what are these officials doing?" Isn't there anything for the court to do?"

"The ministers are guilty?"

The ministers hurriedly bowed their heads and pleaded guilty.

This is indefinite, Li Chengqian just chose him and Li Shimin out, and both of them are conscientious and conscientious, and the responsibility for the accident in the DPRK and China naturally lies with the minister.

Li Chengqian glanced at the minister who was bowing, his expression was indifferent, he walked back to the throne behind the book case and sat down, and said indifferently: "You are guilty, is it a capital crime?"

Zhang Xingcheng heard this and said in his heart: It's over, Li Chengqian has not been involved in many cases of rebellion in the past year, and he may not dare to kill all the ministers in Shangshu, but as the culprit, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is cautious?" Yu Suiliang hurriedly said in a deep voice.

Li Chengqian was even more furious when he heard this, and said like a cannon: "Why can't the lonely king even say a word, has the lonely king become your puppet?"

When are you going to let King Gu add nine tin and go to the palace with a sword?"

"Nine tin" is nine kinds of ritual weapons, and "sword shoes to the temple" is to wear shoes to the temple with a sword hanging from the waist, both of which are symbols of the identity of the anti-thief.

Generally, the emperor gives these courtesies to any minister, which is equivalent to announcing to the world that a Zen throne ceremony will be held in a few days.

When Yu Suiliang heard Li Chengqian's heart-wrenching words, his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Li Chengqian glanced at him with annoyance, then turned his head to look at Zhang Xingcheng and said, "The government is like this, can you, as the prime minister, not speak?"

Zhang Xingcheng knew that if he didn't give in today, this matter would not be good, so he secretly sighed and knelt down on his knees, personally took off the crown and put it on the ground and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is guilty, and the ministers are not worthy of the position, please ask the Prince's Palace to remove the minister's official position." ”

The people in the hall all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and they had offended His Royal Highness the Prince.

I didn't want Li Chengqian but didn't intend to let him go, looking at Zhang Xingcheng, who was pale, he still mocked: "When the country is fine, you have to be the prime minister, and when you make the government into a pot of porridge, you put the official hat on the ground and abandon it like a shoe, what do you think of the monarch and the people of the world?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xingcheng raised his head and half-opened his mouth, looking at Li Chengqian in fear.

Seeing that the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were full of mockery looking at him, Zhang Xingcheng thought that he was in a catastrophe, and immediately felt as if his backbone had been removed, and his heart said like ashes: "The minister is incapable of asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send a whereabout." ”

The ministers in the hall looked at each other, knowing that Zhang Xingcheng said this, although Li Chengqian would not want his life now, he could not escape the exile.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" As soon as Du Zhenglun said a word, he met Li Chengqian's stern gaze, so he had to endure what he said in his heart, and said weakly: "Please take it lightly." ”

Li Chengqian retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang Xingcheng and asked coldly: "Zhang Xingcheng, are you really incompetent, or would you rather die than serve the imperial court?"

Zhang Xingcheng was so angry that he thought that Li Chengqian was just saying this to punish him more severely, so he didn't say anything.

But Liu Dewei heard another meaning in his words.

With a little uncertainty, he asked cautiously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that Zhang Shizhong can be allowed to make meritorious contributions?"

Li Chengqian nodded secretly in his heart when he saw that someone was 'praising him', but he sneered on his face: "Guilty of meritorious service? As soon as you see the performance of this box, you can't do anything but ask for guilt and make meritorious contributions?"

When the minister in the palace heard this, he wanted to scold his mother.

What is the rationale for this?

You said a lot of things like that, and at most we can only answer the guilt, and no one can take it seriously!

But when Li Chengqian asked him this, the ministers couldn't say anything.

If it is really said: That "guilty" is just a polite thing, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not take it seriously, then no one will be able to get off the stage.

When the time comes, Li Chengqian will treat them as bullying the king, and he will not be able to complain about others.

"It's really difficult to do, but if you think about it, you can always come up with a way." Liu Dewei has been an official for many years, and he doesn't feel embarrassed, and he covers it up with a light sentence.

However, Li Chengqian couldn't just let them go, pointing to Zhang Xingcheng who was kneeling on the ground and complaining: "Liu Qing's family believes that Gu Wang said this.

But you can also see it, Zhang Shizhong said that he was guilty from beginning to end, did not say a word about the affairs of the court, and threatened to resign, obviously because he was deliberately embarrassed by the young king of Gu. ”

Zhang Xingcheng had just put down his heart and raised it again, but he didn't dare to speak easily, for fear that he would be caught by Li Chengqian if he made a mistake.

Liu Dewei smiled bitterly in his heart, and solemnly explained on his face: "As ministers, we can't prevent the slightest problem, and we will turn things into invisibility, and it is naturally guilty to let these tricks be put in front of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at Zhang Xingcheng and said, "Since you can't 'prevent the slightest', let's talk about what to do now?"

Li Chengqian bit the four "anti-micro and gradual progress" very hard, and Zhang Xingcheng's face turned red when he heard it.

Just when Zhang Xingcheng didn't care about other things and knelt on the ground to think about countermeasures, he heard Li Chengqian taunting: "It seems that Zhang Shizhong really wants to abandon the lonely king and go, and he won't even wear a hat?"

When Zhang Xingcheng heard this, he didn't wear a hat, he didn't wear it, or Liu Dewei bent down and held the official hat on the ground and said to him: "Zhang Shizhong, get up quickly." ”

Zhang Xingcheng put on his hat and stood up, wanting to ask Li Chengqian for guilt again, but he didn't dare, so he had to say: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think about it." ”

Li Chengqian nodded expressionlessly before allowing him to return to his place.

At this time, all the ministers in the palace understood that Li Chengqian's pretentiousness was to beat Zhang Xingcheng, but he was a little embarrassed to look at Yu Suiliang, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Yu Suiliang, who was lying on the ground, also understood Li Chengqian's intentions, and realized that it was not the right time for him to interject, and Li Chengqian had opinions about himself in the past few days, so he directly attacked.

When I think of this, I hate myself for being clever.

Li Chengqian glanced at Yu Suiliang and said lightly: "Why is Master Zhen really waiting for King Gu to add nine tin to you?" Speaking of this, he paused and said angrily: "If you don't get up, you can think of a way for the lonely king?"

When Yu Suiliang heard this, he didn't dare to be hypocritical, and hurriedly got up.

Li Chengqian sat on the top and watched these ministers figure out a way, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Li Chengqian had already thought of a way to deal with these people, and he was embarrassed by Zhang Xingcheng just because Zhang Xingcheng was too bad. originally had a heart-to-heart relationship with him, but as soon as Du Zhenglun sent him to Song Shu, he asked him to come over to discuss, but he made small moves behind his back, and it was really difficult to understand the hatred in his heart if he didn't clean up.
