Chapter 927: Two Contrasts
"Poof!" When Yu Zhining spoke, Li Shimin didn't know whether he was hot or frightened, and a mouthful of hot porridge squirted out directly.
"Your Majesty......"
"Don't worry about me, Yu Aiqing, what did you just say? Prince... Smash Zhang Xuansu with a wine jug? ββ
Yu Zhining nodded wordlessly.
"Bang!" The table was slammed hard, and Li Shimin's face was gloomy as cold as ten thousand years, "Who gave him such a big guts?" How many times did he want to murder a minister, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? β
Li Shimin was not mentally prepared, he knew that Li Chengqian was in trouble, but he didn't expect that he would actually kill his teacher.
Civilians who commit such a mistake still need to go to prison, let alone a dignified prince? If you don't punish you, why should you accept it? The mistake made by Li Chengqian really made Li Shimin angry.
"Rebel! Unfilial son! Unfilial son! Doing such a rebellious thing, is he going to turn the sky upside down? β
"Your Majesty is angry, Prince... And he really wanted to hurt Lord Zhang, he was just drunk and didn't know how serious he was. β
"I don't know how heavy it is... Hum! I don't know how heavy it is! What if he really misses and hits Master Zhang on the head? Can you still say that you missed out on drinking? β
"Thisβ" The ministers were speechless one after another. They are also for the prince's meaning, and they will drag it out, but fortunately Li Shimin is not stupid......
"Is Lord Zhang okay? Is the injury serious? β
"I don't know, Lord Zhang went back directly last night, how did he get hurt... The minister didn't know much either. But ......"
"But what?"
"But when Master Zhang left, his entire arm was covered in blood, and he couldn't move his arm, I'm afraid it hurt his muscles and bones."
"But what?"
"But when Master Zhang left, his entire arm was covered in blood, and he couldn't move his arm, I'm afraid it hurt his muscles and bones."
Li Shimin didn't laugh angrily: "Hehehehe, what a good son of mine." β
Several ministers looked at each other and were silent. The atmosphere was a little cold, but Li Shimin didn't care, scooping the soup and drinking it one bite at a time.
"Aiqing, after a hard night's work, you don't have to be so restrained, let's have some breakfast, and after I finish breakfast, I will tell you about last night's events in detail."
Several ministers said yes, and when they picked up the bowl, they sighed again.
The world was affected by disasters, the treasury was tight, and His Majesty's breakfast was only a bowl of gruel, which was no different from a commoner, but the prince was at home with a lot of fish and meat, and the luxury was incomparable, and the contrast was really incomprehensible.
His Majesty is a virtuous saint, but the prince is becoming more and more extreme, if it weren't for the etiquette guidelines, would they still support the prince to sit on the throne of the prince?
Several ministers had a question mark in their hearts, and their hearts had gradually wavered.
The ministers hurriedly finished their breakfast, and then quickly told Li Shimin about last night's events.
During the ministers' narration, Li Shimin didn't say anything, just frowned and listened calmly, and after listening, he didn't make much comments, and got up and prepared to go to the court.
Several ministers looked at each other, inexplicably. thought that Li Shimin would be furious, but now he didn't react at all, this ...... It's a bit abnormal!
Not only is it abnormal, but things are also a little weird -- Li Shimin is absolutely angry, and very angry! But he didn't say anything, kind of like ...... Calm before the storm!
The ministers glanced at each other worriedly, but they didn't say anything, and left the hall to prepare to go to the court.
Today, Li Shimin was a little late in going to court, and the ministers waited outside the court for nearly half an hour, and Li Shimin was late.
After the ministers finished the courtesy, they looked up and found that Li Shimin's face was quite ugly, and in addition, the prince did not come to supervise the court as usual.
According to the eunuch's report, the prince is in poor health today, please one day. Hearing this, Li Shimin didn't say anything special, and the ministers didn't think much about it.
They thought that it was the disaster that caused Li Shimin to be in a bad mood, and only Yu Zhining and others knew the reason why Li Shimin's face was so bad, and they were silent among the ministers.
The ministers reported the disaster to Li Shimin as usual, and Li Shimin, in addition to his pale face, also approved various requests for instructions as usual.
Everything seemed to be as usual, and the only thing that surprised the ministers was that Li Shimin suddenly gave a holy decree to Li Tai, the king of Wei.
Most of the ministers were indifferent to this holy decree, only Yu Zhining and others knew the reason, except for shock.
The general content of the decree is that Li Tai, the king of Wei, will go to the five affected states to pacify the victims on behalf of the imperial court.
It seems that this is a very ordinary holy decree, because Weizhou and other places were originally the fiefdoms of the King of Wei, and in the event of a disaster, it is normal for him to go to appease the victims on behalf of the imperial court.
But what the ministers didn't know was what happened in the East Palace last night, and if they knew, I am afraid they would not be so calm.
Why? Because this is obviously a job to buy people's hearts, when the prince made such a mistake, he handed over this task to Li Tai, and the meaning of it can be understood by a discerning person at a glance.
The news that the prince injured Zhang Xuansu has not yet come out, so King Wei has no clue, but he is still a little unhappy. Who knows what small actions the prince will make behind his back after leaving Chang'an, it is possible to ...... It may not be possible to frame him. He has heard a lot of stories about the three of them becoming tigers.
However, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin took the imperial doctor and countless precious medicinal materials to Zhang Xuansu's house.
After coming out of Zhang Xuansu's house, Li Shimin directly ordered that the prince should reflect on the East Palace behind closed doors for three months, and during this period, he was not allowed to step out of the palace gate!
He even ordered the removal of musicians and dancers in the prince's mansion, and the princesses were also ordered by him to go to the courtyard to live temporarily for three months, during which no one was allowed to contact the prince except for a few personal eunuchs, which was tantamount to imprisonment in disguise.
This is a bit harsh for the prince of a country.
There is such a big thing in the East Palace, and the ministers will be deaf and blind if they don't know about it.
After inquiring one after another, everything the prince did last night was all exposed to the public eye-a luxurious night banquet and smashed the teacher.
At the critical moment when the people of this country were suffering, he actually did such a deed, and it is no wonder that Li Shimin would punish him so much. There are even some radical ministers who think that Li Shimin's punishment is too light, and they go home to read a book, planning to join the prince.
There were also some treacherous and cunning existences that quickly shifted their attention from the crown prince to Li Tai.
Yes, the crown prince made a mistake and was locked up, but what about Li Tai? Li Tai went out to provide disaster relief and comfort the affected people on behalf of the imperial court.
The two are compared, which is more important, and it is clear at a glance! Anyone with a little political sense knows that the court may not be calm anymore. Between the crown prince and the king of Wei, it seems that there is really going to be a winner and loser, and this time... I'm afraid it won't be long!
The ministers' eyes were on the crown prince and King Wei, and Li Zhi, the little cute one, was too ...... Well, it's good to continue selling cuteness.
Xiao Mengtai got Chen Fei's true biography, and as soon as he got the news that the prince was punished, he immediately went to his father to intercede for his brother.
It's a pity that Li Shimin ignored him......
