Walking past everyone with an expressionless face, every official was a little surprised, Cai Cong's expression was simply wooden and sluggish, Wei Chi Dasha greeted him, he just responded in a daze, and continued to walk forward unconsciously.

"What's wrong with that kid? Why don't you see a little bit of aura on him today, that's not much better than the two fools on my Zhuangzi! ”

Wei Chigong asked Fang Xuanling, who was also confused, Fang Xuanling shook his head, thought about it and said, "Probably because the disciple died!" I heard that he was beaten to death by the eldest grandson of the Cui family, and he was forced to hide in the mountains last year, probably at this time he was still hesitating about whether it was worth offending the Cui family for the sake of two disciples! ”

"What's there to think about here, the disciples have all been killed. If you don't take revenge, do you still have the face to be a teacher? I'll go tell him. Don't back down, go up and slash that bastard to death! ”

Wei Chi Gong said bluntly that he was about to go up to chase Cai Cong, but was pulled back by Fang Xuanling, glared at him and said: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, don't think that I don't know that you want to return Cai Cong's personal favor, but if you interfere in it, it will only make things more complicated, maybe the Cui family will think that you have been instructed by His Majesty, so don't make trouble." ”

Wei Chigong gritted his teeth and said deflatedly: "Listen to you, it really makes me feel guilty to look at it like this." You probably don't know, my second baby can already memorize the three-character scripture, and can calculate the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten, Mr. Shuyuan praised him for his pure character and no distractions. He also said that if he continues to study in the academy like this, he may regain his happiness and wisdom one day in the future, and maybe my Wei Chi family will have a learned Confucian! ”

The more Wei Chigong spoke, the more excited he became, the master of the academy just gave a few pertinent comments according to the rules, and Wei Chigong already thought of the scene of hundreds of disciples under his son decades later. Just look at Cai Cong who was in a trance leaning against the pillar to blow the wind and snow, and all his excitement and happiness turned into powerless sighs.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Cai Cong was half leaning on the pillar in a daze, watching Li Shimin and the courtiers deal with government affairs, and he hoped that this moment could be extended indefinitely, so that he would not have to stand up.

But this is impossible, the small pilgrimage meeting was originally a regular meeting every day, just like the company in later generations had to hold a morning meeting every day no matter what happened.

As time slowly passed, the court meeting was about to end, Cai Cong's eyes were full of fear, and he was a little afraid to stand out.

Cui Chengyi and the others secretly looked at Cai Cong a little strangely, how could this kid's demeanor today be a little bit of his usual spiritedness, no matter how he looked at it, he was scared stupid.

Cui Chengyi secretly rejoiced in his heart that if this was the case, he would not have to give up thousands of hectares of fertile land to others, nor would he have to be relegated to Hexi.

But before he could snicker, his uncle had already come out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Cui Chengyi, the secretary of the Chinese book." ”

What kind of person is Cui Yongan, he is old and fine! Just thinking about it, he knew that Cai Cong was hesitating, he couldn't wait for Cai Cong to make up his mind, so he had to strike first.

"Oh? If I remember correctly, this Cui Chengyi should call you uncle, how can you impeach him in a dignified manner? Li Shimin asked with interest.

Cui Yongan bent down and arched his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, he is the nephew of the minister." However, as the old saying goes, the wise do not avoid relatives, so they reason. Those who see wrongdoers should also be reported, not relatives. ”

"Well said, go on, I want to know what you're going to impeach him." Li Shimin clapped his hands and said, just like an unscrupulous gentleman seeing something funny.

"The minister's impeachment of Cui Chengyi was not strict, and the steward of the government actually annexed the fields of one hundred and ten villages around Sanjia Village in order to invite merit and reward, which is really an outrageous act."

Cui Yongan said righteously, and Cui Chengyi immediately went out and knelt on the ground to confess his guilt. Li Shimin's somewhat playful expression condensed, his eyelids sank, and he looked at Cui Chengyi with gloomy eyes.

For the sake of that land, his sister became a widow, he ordered to kill his brother-in-law, put his sister under house arrest, and you dare to take anything for yourself.

However, he quickly regained his smiling expression and said: "Since this is the case, then kill the steward's staff, and return the land to the people, after all, Cui Chengyi doesn't know, and the fine is just one year, and it won't be investigated." ”

Li Shimin said lightly. Cui Yongan immediately said solemnly: "As a Zhongshu squire to assist Zhongshu Ling to take care of the government for His Majesty, but he can't even handle this kind of thing well, the minister thinks that Cui Chengyi is not capable enough, and he should be demoted to a place, learn the way of being an official, and serve His Majesty in the future." ”

"The minister is guilty, and he is willing to go to the local area to learn how to work for the welfare of the people." Cui Chengyi immediately paused and said sincerely.

"Make a big fuss, if he is really incompetent, how can he be in Zhongshu Province? I can't say anything about this. ”

Li Shimin said directly, it was already a foregone conclusion, but he didn't expect Cui Yongan to say: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiang and my Cui family are in-laws, even if Cui Chengyi's ability is not commensurate with his duties." As long as it is not an act of indiscriminate use of power, he will also turn a blind eye, after all, they are also in-laws, and it is not easy to speak out, and the minister is listening to what the wife and brother of the house say, and there will be no falsehood. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to demote such vegetarian people from Chang'an. ”

Cui Yongan is like a defender of justice, constantly asking Li Shimin to demote his nephew from Chang'an, and everyone who watched was stunned, what is the situation? Could it be that Cui Yongan is possessed by a ghost?

"The minister also knows that he is not qualified to be a scholar in Zhongshu, please be demoted to a place." Cui Chengyi also let go, knelt on the ground and said sincerely.

"In this case, I will also fulfill your mind, Jiannan Province has warned Lao Guitian, I have not had a suitable candidate, I will send you there today!"

Li Shimin said leisurely, Cui Chengyi's sincere face was stuck, didn't he say that there was only a vacancy in Hexi? When did the governor of Jiannan Province return to the field?

"What? Don't want to get the order? Li Shimin looked down at him with oppressive eyes, Cui Chengyi's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly said loudly: "The minister's order." ”

"Great goodness!" Cui Yong smiled and said with satisfaction.

"The minister wants to impeach Cai Cong, the Marquis of Chang'an, who does the business all day long, in order to occupy the land, forcibly seal the Baima Temple, and demolish the house on a large scale, saying that it is a commercial street, which is really laborious and costly, and he is nostalgic for the place of cooking all day long, and he is the first chef in the world, and the majesty of the dignified prince is abandoned, so the minister asks His Majesty to go to his title."

Seeing the poor dagger, everyone was in an uproar This is Cui Yongan's real intention, he stood up, and countless people will inevitably stand up and wave their flags and shout.

Sure enough, someone immediately jumped out and echoed, listing Cai Cong's big and small crimes, not to mention whether the charges were true or false, but also conclusive, of course, they deliberately ignored Cai Cong's past achievements.

"You are filthy and dirty, a good young talent has done so many good things, and that is not for the people, how can it become an unsightly bad thing in your mouth?"

Wei Chigong couldn't help but jump out and stare at the bull's eye and asked, he only has a bad wife and three babies, Cai Cong let the second baby enter the academy and slowly opened his mind, this is a great kindness, of course he wants to pay it back.

"Puff is crazy, we are just talking about things, how can we distort the facts?" Some people immediately pushed back, and in these years, the civil and military forces were balanced, and while everyone worked together, they looked down on each other.

As long as you feel that it is right, no matter how big your official position is, you will never back down. Yu Chigong stared at the big bull's eye, and his fists creaked.

"What? If you want to hit someone? This is above the court, not your family's barracks. The civil official was not afraid, and bullied forward to question Wei Chigong with his chest up.

"It's just a beating, how are you going to go?" Is Wei Chigong the kind of talker? With a fist raised, the civil official fell to the ground, his nose bleeded, and a few teeth fell out of his mouth, and his mouth was full of blood.
