Chapter 69: Face Saint
Before dawn the next day, Cheng Chuliang was pulled out of the quilt to wash and dress.
When he appeared outside the palace gates, he immediately became the center of attention.
The officials looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, pointing and pointing.
Wei Chi Jingde was the first to run to Cheng Chuliang, stretched out his thumb to Cheng Chuliang, and praised him for beating the merchants of the Western Regions and capturing Mo Hanli domineeringly, and what else did he say This is the true character of Tang Erlang. If we want to do it, we will be eagles, what the Western Regions and what Turks, they are all chickens and scum.
But Qin Qiong didn't think so, thinking that Cheng Chuliang had caused trouble, and maybe Jieli Khan would make a big move, so it would be difficult for His Majesty to do it.
Wei Zheng looked like he hated iron but not steel, and said that they should be locked up at home, so as not to go out and cause trouble.
Li Jing looked at his nose and nose and heart, like an old monk sitting still.
The eldest grandson Wuji also closed his eyes and recuperated, as if to say, everything has nothing to do with me, you can toss as much as you like.
Cheng Yanjin is fearless, see who dares to speak for the Turks today, that is the accomplice of the Turks, you don't need the old man to do it, some people can kill you in minutes.
The palace door opened, and the ministers rushed in.
This is the first time Cheng Chuliang has participated in the court meeting in the Taiji Palace, and the hall is full of awesome characters in the Tang Dynasty, and if you pull one out, they are all historical celebrities.
On such a solemn occasion, it would be false to say that you are not nervous.
Fortunately, Cheng Chuliang's position is relatively backward, he can't see Li Shimin clearly, and Li Shimin can't see him clearly, so he can indulge himself a little and don't have to stand straight.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and other bigwigs reported on major military affairs and trivial matters, and Li Shimin gave instructions one by one.
When these things are taken care of, the main event finally begins.
Chen Jin, a member of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't hold back, so he went out first and went straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, just because a merchant from the Western Regions named Oran imitated the style of Cheng's furniture, yesterday, Xingping County led the crowd to break into Orlan's house, broke his legs, and then rushed into the Turkic Tutun private house and forcibly tied up Mo Hanli."
His conscious and righteous eyes glanced at Cheng Chuliang, as if telling Cheng Chuliang, you are dead.
Chen Jin continued: "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and this son's behavior is really outrageous and detrimental to the prestige of my Tang Dynasty......
Cheng Chuliang was a little disappointed, how to impeach buddies is always some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, are those characters with heads and faces so cowardly, they always like to use small roles as guns, but you stand up and fight with your buddies yourself!
That's right, don't you guys say that the buddy smeared Datang, buddy did just that, you squirt hard!
I only heard Chen Jin say again: "Your Majesty, although I have a Weishui alliance with the Tang Dynasty, but the Turks have ambitions for my Tang Dynasty wolf sons, and they are eyeing me and have been looking for opportunities to attack my Datang, Cheng Chuliang's move is tantamount to giving the Turks a good excuse, once the Turkic wolf soldiers take it, Cheng Chuliang will be my Tang Dynasty sinner through the ages!"
Li Shimin's face turned pale, and when Chen Jin saw it, he said that His Majesty was also indignant at Cheng Chuliang's extremely irresponsible behavior, and he was even more energetic.
"Your Majesty, my Datang is in ruins, and now I need to recuperate the most, and Cheng Chuliang arrests people indiscriminately for his own personal anger, recklessly, regardless of the safety of my Datang people, and I also ask Your Majesty to investigate and punish the crime!"
Li Shimin coughed lightly, "Chen Aiqing, when you say Cheng Chuliang, you will say Cheng Chuliang, what are you doing with the Weishui Alliance!" ”
Chen Jin chuckled in his heart, Your Majesty, why is your focus so novel?
Liu Guwen, the imperial historian who originally wanted to support Chen Jin, heard Li Shimin's words and quietly withdrew his half-stepped left leg.
Chen Jin, this stupid, what are you doing with the Weishui Alliance, don't you know that this is Your Majesty's taboo, just Liang Cheng is bright, draw snakes, you listen to Your Majesty's tone, obviously angry, I will come out to help you now, it is simply death! I still want to live a few more years, so I won't be listed, but I still support you in my heart.
There are also those who are not afraid of death, Bai Jin, the head of the household branch, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Chen Langguan's impeachment of Cheng Chuliang is reasonable......
Bai Jin is quite smart, only saying that he agrees with Chen Jin's recital on Cheng Chuliang, and does not express any opinion on the so-called Weishui Alliance.
"In case the Turks use this as an excuse to raise troops to invade the south, our Datang will fall into a conquest again. To fight a war is to fight for money, but when I started Datang, the treasury was not full......"
He didn't say how disgusting Cheng Chuliang was, but from the perspective of money, he told Li Shimin that Cheng Chuliang had stabbed Lou Zi, but Datang had no money to wipe his ass for him.
Qin Qiong couldn't listen to it anymore, didn't he just arrest a Turk, look at you one by one as if you have arrested your father and mother, as for it, Chu Liang is still a child!
Chu Liang is my eldest nephew, and he also saved my life, if you don't come out to say a word for him at this time, it's really better to be a pig and a dog!
Qin Qiong came out of the ranks, but before he could speak, Li Shimin preemptively said: "Qin Aiqing, you don't have to explain for that kid, let him say it himself!"
"Usually this kid has no one in his eyes, but now he has the courage to find the Turks unhappy. I also heard that the one named Mo Hanli wanted to pay 10,000 yuan to buy your sofa, but you were unwilling to sell it to him, and he didn't care about you much in the future, what did you say you provoked him! ”
Qin Qiong was a little embarrassed, and the others were also stunned.
Listening to this tone, it seems that His Majesty is not angry with Cheng Chuliang's behavior, but has a taste of schadenfreude.
Chen Jin and Bai Jin's faces were like ashes, and they had an ominous premonition, and they invariably remembered a person - Tang Lun.
At that time, Tang Lun also impeached Cheng Chuliang in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and then, as everyone knew, Tang Lun was defeated and almost vomited blood and died.
Could it be that Cheng Chuliang beat Olan to catch Mo Hanli, not just for furniture?
Cheng Chuliang walked out with a big grin, that look very arrogant, after Chen Jin and Bai Jin saw it, they couldn't wait to go up and kick him, you are like no one, you don't have the consciousness of being impeached at all, and you don't take us seriously!
Even Zong Mao felt that Cheng Chuliang was a little too much, in front of His Majesty and the civil and military officials, can't you kid pretend?
Cheng Chuliang said: "Your Majesty, do you think the minister is doing this to be a child's nonsense?" ”
Li Shimin was noncommittal.
Cheng Chuliang walked up to Chen Jin and Bai Jin, and smiled, "You two spared no effort to say that I offended the Turks, the Turks will retaliate, and my Datang will suffer. ”
Without waiting for the two to refute, Cheng Chuliang continued: "If it is a Tang Dynasty, then why are you so afraid of the Turks? I'm ashamed to be with you! If you are Turkic, it must be a meticulous work that has infiltrated my Datang! ”
Cheng Chuliang's heart-wrenching question made the two of them pale.
They quickly knelt on the ground and cried out for injustice.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Chuliang didn't play cards according to the routine, and when he came up, it was a personal attack, who could stand this, Bai Jin was so frightened that he almost fainted.
Chen Jin's eyes were red, his face turned green with anger, and he pointed at Cheng Chuliang and shouted loudly: "Cheng Chuliang, don't spew blood!" ”
Cheng Chuliang is still calm, "Your Majesty, the minister is the son of Xingping County of the Tang Dynasty, and his words and deeds represent the image of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Speaking of this, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, "Your Majesty, these are the papers that the people have accused Mo Hanli and Oran of abducting and selling their daughters. ”
Chen Jin and Bai Jin were dumbfounded, this time it was really hammered, there were really things they didn't know here.
"Your Majesty, the minister went to Hedongzhuang a few days ago to conduct research, and learned that there were two families in the village whose daughters were missing, and the minister felt strange, in order to avoid startling the snake, he quietly investigated, and then found that a total of thirteen unmarried girls were missing, they all appeared in a private house in Oran, and then were sent to Pingkangfang, and finally were smuggled out of Chang'an by the Turks of Pingkangfang!"
