During this time, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense, and the chamberlains and palace maids were all cautious, especially the people around Li Shimin, who did not dare to make the slightest mistake, because everyone knew that Li Shimin was in an extremely bad mood these days, and someone had already been heavily punished for doing something wrong a few days ago, so they didn't dare to touch Li Shimin's mold at this time.

The Liangyi Hall is the place where Li Shimin deals with government affairs on a daily basis, and if there is no accident, Li Shimin will definitely be here, but because of this, the atmosphere here is also the most tense, if the tense atmosphere in the palace is compared to a storm, then the Liangyi Hall is the eye of the storm, which looks very calm on the surface, but in fact, it may be swept up by the surrounding wind at any time.

Wei Ting was in the eye of the storm, and saw that the Liangyi Hall was empty, except for him, there was not even a chamberlain and a palace maid, and Li Shimin was sitting behind the bookcase and was reviewing the folds, only when he came in, Li Shimin raised his head and motioned him to wait, but he waited for more than an hour, Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten him, and he didn't dare to worry, so he could only wait.

However, since he came in, Wei Ting has been in a state of apprehension in his heart, because last time he stabbed Li Chengqian's private affairs to the court, and as a result, Li Shimin broke into the East Palace in a rage, and it is said that he personally killed the servant, but this also caused disharmony between Li Shimin and Li Chengqian's father and son, and now the prince is still confined in the East Palace, and no one is allowed to visit.

What worries Wei Ting even more is that he did not report Li Chengqian as a courtier, but out of his own interests, and it can even be said that he was instructed by Li Tai, the king of Wei, after all, this incident is an excellent opportunity to hit Li Chengqian, and the heavier the weight of the person who stabbed this case to the court, the greater the impact of this incident, so in the end he did not hesitate to go out in person.

Of course, Wei Ting also considered in advance that he would definitely be punished by Li Shimin afterwards, but after careful consideration, he felt that Li Shimin was at most demoting his own official, but as long as King Wei was still in the court, I am afraid that it would not be long before he could return to Chang'an, and with this credit, if Li Tai ascended the throne in the future, then his credit would be even greater, and it would be easy to pay homage to the marquis at that time, so this risk is also worth taking.

It's just that although Wei Ting is mentally prepared to be punished, but when it comes to this day, he still feels very nervous, especially in the face of Li Shimin, which makes him feel an unprecedented fear, although he estimates that Li Shimin will not kill himself, but this is just his guess after all, the emperor's heart is the most difficult to grasp, in case Li Shimin really wants to kill him, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape death, and the court is also quite humble about himself, and I am afraid that there will be no one to help him intercede.

Thinking of the above, the fear in Wei Ting's heart became even more serious, and he even involuntarily felt that his legs wanted to kneel uncontrollably, but reason could still control him to keep standing, but the last two legs began to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept pouring out, at this time he had begun to regret it a little, if he had known that this was the case, he should not have taken action in person.

Just when Wei Ting was standing there thinking nonsense, Li Shimin in front of him finally finished reading the last fold in his hand, and then saw him put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his forehead, and then picked up the tea next to him and took a sip, although the tea was already cold, he didn't let people change another cup.

"Wei Ting, have you heard about Du Zhenglun?" I saw Li Shimin look up at Wei Ting at this time, and then suddenly asked.

"Listen...... I've heard that! Wei Ting was taken aback by Li Shimin, who suddenly spoke, and then hurriedly replied.

Du Zhenglun used to worship Zhongshu Shilang, and concurrently served as the prince's left concubine, and his grade was higher than Wei Ting, because Li Chengqian had been too nonsense in recent years, so Li Shimin told Du Zhenglun to teach Li Chengqian more, because Li Shimin trusted Du Zhenglun very much, so he directly said to Du Zhenglun that if Li Chengqian dared not listen to his teachings, he could directly tell himself about the matter, and he would punish Li Chengqian at that time.

Du Zhenglun was also very attentive to Li Shimin's words, so he spared no effort to teach Li Chengqian, and it was no worse than Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining and others, but Li Chengqian just didn't listen, which made him very distressed, and finally in order to let Li Chengqian retract his heart, he even told Li Chengqian what Li Shimin had said, in order to make Li Chengqian feel the pressure, and even corrected it for fear of being punished by Li Shimin.

However, Du Zhenglun's actions caused Li Shimin to be furious, because Li Shimin was the emperor, and the words he said were also forbidden to leak out, mainly to prevent the leakage of some important news, so Li Shimin demoted him to other places as an official on the charge of Du Zhenglun's "leaking the forbidden words in the palace", and it is estimated that he will not want to come back for a few years.

"If only you knew!" I saw Li Shimin's face calm at this time and said, "Because of the prince's matter, I have belittled Du Zhenglun, but I don't want you to be convicted because of the prince, I can not pursue this matter, but you are also a courtier, and you must also guard the duty of a courtier, if something similar happens again in the future, I will not spare it!" ”

When Li Shimin said to the end, although the expression on his face did not change much, there was already a bit of murderous aura in his voice, which made Wei Ting's whole body tremble with fright, and he immediately saluted and thanked him: "Thank Your Majesty for forgiveness, the minister will definitely abide by the courtesy of the courtiers in the future, and he will never dare to exceed half a point!" ”

When Wei Ting spoke, cold sweat was also surging on his forehead, flowing down the corners of his eyes and cheeks, because he knew that although Li Shimin did not punish himself, he had already written down his mistakes, just like he said, if there is a second time in the future, I am afraid that not only will his head be lost, but even his family will be implicated.

"Let's go down, and let Qingque stay in the mansion honestly during this time, don't think I really can't bear to punish him!" When Li Shimin finally mentioned Li Tai, his face also showed a very complicated expression, doting mixed with a little annoyance, and a little helplessness.

"Yes, the minister should tell His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" Wei Ting heard that Li Shimin even warned Li Tai, and he was startled again at the moment, and hurriedly adapted, and then turned around and left the Liangyi Palace, but when he left the palace gate, he found that the clothes behind him were soaked with sweat, and the breeze blew with a bit of a chill to the bone.

"A companion is like a tiger!" At that moment, Wei Ting turned his head and glanced at the tall and majestic Liangyi Palace, and then sighed in his heart, and then strode out of here, he had to hurry back to tell Li Tai what Li Shimin said, and also persuade Li Tai not to do anything during this time, otherwise it might really make Li Shimin angry, don't talk about himself at that time, I'm afraid that even Li Tai will be implicated.

Wei Ting left the Liangyi Palace, and Li Shimin was the only one left in the hall, but he tapped the table a few times at this time, and soon saw an old chamberlain coming out of the corner of the hall without knowing it, and then came to Li Shimin and bowed.

"What has the prince been doing these days?" Li Shimin asked with a deep face, this old chamberlain is the intelligence head of Li Shimin's side, mainly responsible for collecting information related to the palace and the royal family, although he is nominally subordinate to the Feinu Division, but in fact he is only dispatched by Li Shimin.

"This ......" I saw that the old chamberlain hesitated for a moment, and then reported, "Your Majesty, because His Majesty grounded the prince before, so the prince didn't do anything during this time, but at first he didn't think about eating, but later the princess personally persuaded him, which made the prince resume his diet, but it was ......"

When the old chamberlain said this, he suddenly showed a hesitant expression, because he didn't know whether to say it or not? Speaking of which, although this old chamberlain is responsible for collecting information in the palace, he is very cautious about the information in the East Palace, such as the last time Li Chengqian and Xiangxin, although he had already gotten the news, but did not report it to Li Shimin, but instead took it to discuss with Sima Ye in his own name, but Ma Ye listened to Li Xiu and did not report it, but after the incident, Ma Ye and the old chamberlain were punished.

"Just what?" Li Shimin saw that this old servant hesitated, and his face sank at the moment and asked.

In the face of Li Shimin's questioning, the old chamberlain couldn't help but smile bitterly, after the last punishment, he didn't dare to hide anything, so he had to say at this time: "Actually, it's nothing, but the prince may still be a little unable to think about it, so he asked people to build a hut in the East Palace, and let people set up a satisfactory stone statue in the house, and sooner or later they will go to pay tribute to the ...... in person."

"Son!" didn't wait for the old chamberlain to finish speaking, Li Shimin suddenly slapped the table and roared, he thought that after killing that satisfactory heart, Li Chengqian would be able to understand that he was doing all this for his good, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian would still be obsessed and set up a statue of that satisfactory person in the East Palace, which is simply openly against him!

Seeing Li Shimin angry, the old chamberlain was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again, but he saw Li Shimin walking back and forth angrily, almost overturning the bookcase again, and even wanted to enter the East Palace again and smash the satisfying stone statue, but in the end he still suppressed the anger in his heart, after all, Li Chengqian had become like this, even if he smashed the stone statue, it was useless.

"Your Majesty, there is another news here for the slave maid, which is related to Li Xiu, the Duke of Yanguo!" Seeing that Li Shimin did not lose his mind because of his anger, the old chamberlain was also relieved, and then hurriedly changed the topic.

"Li Xiu? What can he do at home if he resigns now? Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words of this old chamberlain, and even the anger just now was thrown aside, after all, this was the first time he heard about Li Xiu from the mouth of this old chamberlain.
