Chapter 848: Li Shimin's Methods

After Wei Zheng's words were finished, the ministers talked about it.

"That's a coincidence, isn't it?"

"Yes, one of the people involved in it is dead, and the other says he doesn't know, which is obviously a problem."

"That is, he said that he didn't know, and the man was holding a waist card of the Prince's Mansion, and he said that he was a person from the Prince's Mansion, how to find that person? There are not a few people who have the waist card of the Prince's Mansion, and there are thousands of officials of the Prince's Mansion and the sixth rate of the Prince's Mansion. ”

"yes, that's pure nonsense."

Wen Qi, the new Shangshang of the Ministry of Industry, is now a united front with Xu Jingzong, and he hurriedly came out to help, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Xu You said is reasonable. First, in order to cover up his actions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a person who everyone is not familiar with, which is normal. Second, when Xu You saw the person holding the waist card of the Prince's Mansion, he didn't dare not believe it, nor did he dare not disobey.

If the minister is Xu You, I am afraid that he will be like him, and seize Li Jungong's article according to the intention of the visitor. Because after all, it is the intention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how dare the minister not obey it? ”

"If you're here and you're afraid, aren't they all inferences out of thin air?" Yan Liben said.

"That is, how can it be convincing if there is no evidence, it is all specious?" Xiao Dongchang said.

The hall was noisy.

"Okay, stop arguing." Li Shimin spoke up to stop everyone.

He said: "Don't talk about this matter, I think that the prince is obviously suspicious in this matter, and besides, he has no monarch father, and he should be punished for contradicting me in public in the court." Li You colluded with the prince, lost his honor in front of the palace, and was also punished.

This decision was to punish the prince and Li You for half a year, read their first offense, and lift their grounding. ”

Li Shimin was sure to deal with the mud and quickly cut through the mess to deal with the matter.

The ministers really did not collude beforehand, and they were deeply worried about the grounding of Li Chengqian and Li You, and did not know what kind of punishment they would receive. Now, seeing that Li Shimin's punishment for them is not heavy, and they can lift the ban, many people feel that they can accept it.

Wei Zheng, Yan Liben and Xiao Dongchang felt that it was so unfair and came out to express their opposition. However, at this time, most ministers thought it was acceptable, and the opposition was much quieter.

Li Shimin was secretly happy in his heart and decided to strike while the iron was hot. He asked: "Regarding the construction of Yong'an Palace, all Aiqing have no objections, right?" ”

"The ministers have no objections." The ministers replied in unison.

"Well, that's it. Li Tai was in charge of this matter, and the Ministry of Industry provided assistance. Chin this. Li Shimin said.

Li Shimin has high political means, and is also good at seizing the opportunity, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to mention the matter of Li Tai's restoration of the title for the time being, let him come out to do things and stay in Chang'an, once he has merit, and then promote his title, everyone has nothing to say.

After finishing speaking, he decided not to give everyone a chance to object, and said directly: "That's it for today, let's disperse." With that, he stood up and walked out.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Suddenly, there was a shout in the courtroom.

Wei Zheng, Yan Liben and Xiao Dongchang took the lead and knelt on the ground. Then, the vast majority of civil ministers fell to their knees.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and saw that the three Zaifu figures, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen and Fang Xuanling, did not participate in stopping him, and the generals of the military did not follow Wei Zheng to coax them. He decided to ignore Wei Zheng and them, waved his hand, and continued to walk outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

At this moment, a louder noise rang out in the main hall.

Li Shimin saw that except for Cen Wenwen, Xu Jingzong, and Shang Wenqi, all the ministers, including the military generals, fell to their knees.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the ministers have principles and bottom lines, and they will never allow Li Tai to return to the court. This is not just a matter of him restoring the title alone, but it means that the atmosphere of stability and unity that has been formed after countless decades of hard work will be seriously damaged. In the future, the court will be involved in a tragic struggle between the princes, which will cause a split between the ministers of the court, and will destroy the glory created by the rule of Sadakan.

Of course, this also includes the reasons why many ministers are worried that they will be retaliated against if they return from Thailand.

On this issue, the ministers will never budge, and they dare not make concessions.

Although Li Shimin expected that there would be resistance, he really didn't expect that the ministers' attitude against Li Tai's return to the court would be so resolute.

Li Shimin had to sit back on the throne.

He said angrily, "What are you going to do? Do you want to ......?" he almost uttered the word rebellion.

He held back his anger and said, "Why do you have to persecute me, Li Tai is smart and capable, and he is my son, I let him feel at ease to build Yong'an Palace for me, is there anything wrong with this?" Is it worth the opposition of all of you? Do you still have me as an emperor in your eyes? Hmmm?!!"

Li Shimin's tone was very stern, his eyes were wide, and his appearance was very scary.

It's a pity that the Zhenguan court is upright, and some are ministers who are not afraid of death.

"Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stood up first and said.

At this moment, a Huangmen squire came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Li Jungong asks to see you." ”

"Why did he come all of a sudden?" Li Tai did not have the qualifications to go to court, and the ministers did not understand why he suddenly appeared here.

Cen Wenwen was as ignorant as all the ministers on the surface, and seemed to know nothing about this matter, but he was secretly proud in his heart. Xin said: "Concubine Yang is really powerful, and she will play a key role at the critical moment." ”

It turned out that this matter was arranged by Concubine Yang, although it was inconvenient for her to see Zeng Wenwen often, but they could communicate through their subordinates every day.

The issues to be discussed in the court today are clear to Concubine Yang. With her keen observation, she thinks that if Li Shimin wants to support Li Tai to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that it will be difficult, and she must secretly add fuel to the fire and expand the situation as much as possible.

The more Li Tai and Li Chengqian and others fought, the more beneficial it was to Li Ke.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Concubine Yang wants to be this fisherman!

During the period when Empress Changsun was recuperating in Furong Garden, Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin took turns to be in charge of the harem, and they had great power in the harem and many cronies. She sent someone to provoke Li Tai to the Taiji Hall at a critical moment, and under Cen Wenwen's arrangement, someone came in to report to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin did not publicly mention the assassination of Li Tai in the court, because the matter was too big, and he did not want to cause a storm in the court. But at this point in front of him, Li Shimin couldn't step down, and he decided to use the assassination of Li Tai to make a big fuss to deter the ministers.

Li Shimin said: "Announce him in." ”

Wang De was full of reluctance, he really didn't want to see the scourge of Li Tai come to disturb the court again, but he had to summon loudly: "Xuan Li Jungong goes to the palace." ”

"Father, you have to be the master of your son!" As soon as Li Tai went to the temple, he knelt on the ground and cried.

At this moment, Li Tai was disheveled, and there were more bandages wrapped around his body than before, and there were stains of blood on it, looking embarrassed, coupled with his sad expression, it looked so miserable.

Li Shimin saw the tragic condition of his beloved son, and felt pity in his heart, and he said softly: "Li Tai, you get up." ”

"Thank you, Father." Li Tai stood up tremblingly, showing that he looked weak after being injured.

"Li Tai, what are you doing, tell me about it?" Li Shimin pretended not to know what was going on, and asked with a shocked look.

"Father, the son lived in the Furong Garden in a good manner, he didn't provoke anyone, I don't know who he offended, someone actually assassinated the son, ...... at the time"

Li Tai cried about what happened, he cried very aggrieved, and he really felt a little aggrieved, because he was really assassinated. He guessed in his heart that it must have been done by Li Chengqian and Li You, and others did not have such a big contradiction with him, nor did they have such a big force.

There was silence in the hall.

Li Shimin asked: "Ma Xuanliang, did Li Tai suffer an assassination?" ”

Ma Xuanliang said matter-of-factly: "Yes, Your Majesty, there was indeed an assassination incident in Furong Garden, and it is also a fact that Li Jungong was injured. ”

Li Shimin saw the shocked looks on the ministers' faces, and decided not to give them time to react, he said directly: "What a big courage, you just oppose Li Tai, why do you want to put him to death?" ”

The incident happened suddenly, and the ministers did not know what was going on in the middle, and they could not react at once. This matter is so serious that everyone is afraid that it will have something to do with it, and no one dares to speak out for a while.

Li Shimin saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately said: "I think that this matter has nothing to do with Li Chengqian and Li You. I decided to immediately detain Li Chengqian and Li You for investigation, and if it is found out that they really did it, I will not spare it!

Li Tai was innocently killed, and I wanted to make decisions for him, so I decided to restore Li Tai as the king of Wugong County and be responsible for the construction of Yong'an Palace. Chin this. Retreat!!" After speaking, he quickened his pace and left the Taiji Hall.

Li Jing and Huang Furui shook their heads and sighed.

Wei Zheng, Xiao Qian, Xiao Dongchang, and Yin Hongzhi were full of anger.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and Gao Jingming looked worried.

Wei Chigong, Zhang Liang, and Li Daozong's expressions were gloomy.

Xu Jingzong and Shang Wenqi were full of pride.

Cen Wenwen's face was expressionless, but he was secretly proud in his heart.

Li Tai's face was ecstatic, he sneered and looked at everyone, thinking about how to take revenge on them.

Yan Liben and many ministers were really a little scared, with a look of horror on their faces.

The ministers talked a lot and gradually dispersed.

Soon after, Li Chengqian and Li You were imprisoned in prison.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of the Northwest were imprisoned, and Li Tai returned to the political arena, and the government and the opposition were shaken for a while.
