Cai Cong rode into Chang'an, he was really unscrupulous, the chickens and dogs jumped along the way, and the officials who were chasing after him cursed, I had seen Juan crazy, but I had never seen such unscrupulous. When Fang Xuanling and the others chased to the gate of the palace, they saw a horse panting alone, and the horses couldn't bear to run at such a high speed.

"What about Chang'anhou?"

"Back to the room. Hou Ye has just entered the palace! ”

The guard hurriedly said,! Doesn't it mean that official etiquette is important? Why are these officials so embarrassed?

"Pampered and arrogant, relying on one's own great achievements is simply lawless! This king wants to see how arrogant he can be! Li Xiaogong said and strode into the palace gate, and his officials also hurriedly followed, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

They had already persuaded the emperor not to release those officials, Cai Cong couldn't rub sand in his eyes, but unfortunately Li Shimin insisted on going his own way and didn't listen to the advice at all!

"Minister Chang An Marquis Cai Cong, meet Your Majesty!"

Cai Cong stepped into the Taiji Hall to make a thorough gesture, and then straightened up without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, looking directly at Li Shimin without being humble or arrogant.

"It's back!"

"I'm back, I'm resigned!"

Li Shimin said calmly, a little annoyed by Cai Cong's rudeness. Cai Cong said in a more indifferent tone.

"Presumptuous! Are you threatening me? ”

Li Shimin was angry, he thought that Cai Cong would be resentful, but the emperor wanted to check and balance, and Cai Cong's power had swelled, so he needed those old officials who were locked up in prison to check and balance.

And he had already thought about appeasing Cai Cong by sealing Cai Cong as the Duke of the Nation, but he didn't expect Cai Cong to dare to threaten him with his resignation.

"The minister doesn't dare, there is a way that is different and does not conspire with each other, the way of the minister is incompatible with His Majesty's way, and the minister asks for resignation."

Cai Cong said loudly, the hundred officials happened to step into the hall at this time, and they didn't dare to open their mouths when they heard this, even Li Xiaogong closed his mouth and stood aside honestly.

"Out of place? I am the sky, and the thunder, rain and dew are all heaven's grace, this is what you said, right? ”

Li Shimin roared, the officials lowered their heads and trembled, only Cai Cong's spine was straight, and the king was angry and bled for thousands of miles, but this anger also depends on whether Cai Cong is afraid or not.

"The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart. Mencius told people a long time ago, a long time ago! ”

Cai Cong whispered, and the voice reverberated through the silent hall. Suddenly, he raised his voice and said, "When these people were fighting bloodily, they used means and stabbed knives in the rear. But what is the result? The ministers were victorious, and they were reinstated. Please resign! Resign! ”

Cai Cong roared and tears flowed silently on his face, how much did he pay for this country, and in the end, what did Li Shimin do to him?

"You ......"

Li Shimin's face changed greatly, he could say whatever he said in private, and he asked him to put his face in front of hundreds of officials?

"Since you're bent on going your own way...... Come! The decree of Chang'an Marquis Cai Cong was pampered and arrogant, holding military merits and disrespectful. Now go to all official positions, strip them of their titles, and demote them to concubines!"

"Your Majesty, think twice, Cai Cong and the country have made great contributions!"

As soon as Li Shimin's will was finished, Wei Zheng stood up to advise, he knew very well that without the protection of the imperial court at this moment, Cai Cong's fate must be very bleak.

"Elder Wei doesn't need to say much, the ministers are grateful."

Cai Cong said calmly, took off the armor on his head and put it on the ground, and walked out of the Taiji Hall with his head held high, the sun was particularly dazzling.

"The queen has a will, Xuan Chang'an Hou Cai Cong will see you~"

At this time, an attendant caught up and read out the edict loudly, Cai Cong waved his hand and said, "There will be no Chang'an Hou in the future, go back and tell the mother, Cai Cong thank her for the love of the old man for so many years." ”

Ignore the dazed chamberlain and walk towards the outside of the palace! Seeing Cai Cong coming out with a cloak, Da Niu hurriedly asked, "What happened to Master Hou?" Why do you look like this? ”

"I have resigned, and my title has been reduced, and I will no longer be your marquis from now on, you can go back to the barracks!"

Cai Cong said and calmed down and walked along the street, Da Niu and the others were all horrified, shouldn't they be promoted to the rank of knight? Why did you degrade to a concubine?

They didn't dare to ask just silently followed Cai Cong to protect him, Cai Cong walked on the bustling street, and suddenly smiled, even if there is no butterfly like him, Sheng Tang is still Sheng Tang, what is he tired and tired for?

Da Niu and the others were taken aback, the Hou Ye was dismissed and cut off, why did he still smile so brightly? Isn't it crazy?

"Quickly go to the Hou Mansion, tell the sixth son about the situation here, and ask him to bring someone to escort the Hou Ye back to the house, and ask him to go as soon as possible, a certain family has to inquire about what happened in the palace."

Da Niu lowered his voice and said to the person around him, and the person immediately ran towards the Hou Mansion quickly.

The atmosphere above the court was as gloomy as snow, Li Shimin did not speak with a dark face, the new officials had nowhere to show their angry faces, and the old officials all smiled at the corners of their mouths, Cai Cong was demoted to a concubine, so wouldn't it be easy to pinch him.

There was only one person in the field who looked at Li Shimin with his neck stalked, and that was Wei Zheng, who was known as the most stylish.

"Your Majesty, even though Cai Cong resigned, he had meritorious service to the country, how could the imperial court easily cut his knighthood? Such an act is only afraid that it will chill the hearts of the officials......"

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that Cai Cong is arrogant and arrogant, and there is no king, and it is already a blessing of heaven to only cut the lord and not exile him!"

Before Wei Zheng's words were finished, more than half of the officials said in unison.

"Did you hear that?"

Li Shimin said in a cold voice, glanced at the civil and military officials, and then squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

After that, he brushed his sleeves and left, Li Xiaogong and they wanted to leave when they saw Li Shimin leaving, but at this time, the officials of the Qingzhuang faction stopped those Li Xiaogong and them.

"Even though Lord Hou is a commoner, he is also respected by us, you had better not use any obscene means, otherwise my generation will never give up."

Saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, Li Xiaogong smiled disappre一门ly, who do they think they are? has no foundation in this court, since Cai Cong has been demoted, is it far for them to be demoted?

"Is it too much for a cloth to live in the Hou Mansion?"

Li Xiaogong asked the people around him with a smile, and a person from the Ministry of Rites stood up and said with a sneer, "Naturally, it is overdue, and after the holy decree is issued for a while, the lower official will take someone to drive his family out of the Hou Mansion." ”

Needless to say, how deep Cai Cong's enmity with the officials of the Ministry of Rites is, when they can fall into the ground, they will never show mercy.

"You also have to pay attention to proportion, if he is cut off, his wife will have no fate, but his wife is fate, and his daughter is the county lord, you have to be measured, don't be truthful!"

Li Xiaogong said lightly, but his eyes were full of cruelty, if his mother and daughter died, then his family would really not be able to live in the Hou Mansion.

Therefore, the decree will be issued more slowly, and the Assassins will have to be given a little time to do something. Isn't it?
