Chapter 13: The Imperial Lawsuit (II)

The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, Li Zhen, the main master, has not yet spoken, but a group of brothers are all shouting, although they did not say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words is all for Li Zhen, and the spearhead is directed at the prince.

The prince's popularity among the brothers is not good, Li Shimin has long known this, originally thought that it was because the prince lived alone in the East Palace and had little communication with his brothers, but looking at the current posture, it was not like that at all, and the dare was that a group of brothers had all united against the prince, which made Li Shimin secretly vigilant in his heart, he didn't want to stage a change in Xuanwumen on his own, glanced at the sons below, and said coldly: "What are you arguing about, have you forgotten that you must not be rude in front of the king?" How do you read books on weekdays, huh? How many times have I said it, etiquette cannot be abolished, don't say that I am here, even if the prince is here, it will not be your turn to talk too much, don't forget that the prince is the prince, you are the minister, Hugh has to turn the sky upside down, all listen to me, who dares to be presumptuous again next time, I will be severely punished! ”

Li Shimin had such a seizure, and he was so frightened that all his sons fell to their knees in silence, although everyone was full of disbelief, but all of them had respectful looks on their faces, and they responded one after another: "Sons and daughters must obey the orders of their father." ”

Seeing that his sons were soft, Li Shimin's face softened slightly, and he looked at Li Zhen who was kneeling in front of him lightly and said, "Zhen'er, come on, what's going on today?" ”

Say? And talk about a fart! Your old man is not planning to support the prince, even if we say that it is useless! Damn, damn it, shouldn't the old man suspect that we are colluding with those gang of heirs to frame the prince? Li Zhen suddenly remembered this possibility, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, fortunately, his qi cultivation kung fu was quite good, his little face was tense, and there was no abnormality, he knelt up straight, looked at Li Shimin and said: "Back to my father's words, my son has nothing to say, please ask my father to see everything." ”

Li Shimin didn't expect Li Zhen to kick the ball back, he was stunned for a while, a pair of eyes flashed, staring at Li Zhen for a long time, a strong coercion suddenly rose, oppressing the people in the hall were uncomfortable, and Li Zhen, who bore the brunt of the attack, was even more like being struck by lightning, trembling violently, and almost screamed, but Li Zhen was also very hard, and knelt straight in a daze, but he didn't open his mouth to defend himself, without him, no matter what Li Zhen said at this time, it was not appropriate - saying that the prince framed himself? Hey, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, even if there is, it will not work, at this time Li Shimin is about to erect the power of the prince, you say that the prince is not good, isn't that begging? Say you're guilty? Oh, Li Zhen will not be stupid enough to take a basin and buckle it on his own head, the only way to kick the ball back to his own Lao Tzu is the only safe way.

In the past few months, under the promotion of some well-intentioned people, Li Zhen's name of "prodigy" has already spread all over Beijing, and the ministers present have also heard of it, but these old guys are all well-informed old rivers and lakes, and they don't really think so, but at this time, seeing that Li Zhen can still stand up to Li Shimin's terrifying coercion, everyone secretly appreciates it, but appreciation is appreciated, but the housework of this royal family is not so easy to manage, no matter who the big guy supports in his heart, he will not express his position at this time, They all pretended to be deaf and dumb and stood there, like a group of sculptures, even Wei Zheng, who had always been known for his upright and good advice, was also pretending to be a mud bodhisattva, and the hall was quiet, with a strange atmosphere.

Li Shimin is a shrewd individual, at this time, he naturally understands that things are not as Li Chengqian said, and there are very few eccentricities inside, eighty percent of the prince is impatient with the existence of a watchdog around him and makes a name for himself, but he understands that he can neither reprimand the prince in front of everyone, nor can he really investigate this matter with an underground will, but if Li Zhen is attacked on this occasion, first, he will not be able to convince everyone's hearts, and secondly, the consequences of this will only make the prince more isolated, but things have already made the city full of turmoil, If you don't come up with a treatment plan, it won't work, neither the left nor the right is good, how to deal with this matter is really a tricky matter, Rao is Li Shimin is wise, and at this time he also feels a little difficult to do, silently muttered for a while, glanced at the ministers who were like wood carvings, and asked lightly: "Princess, what should be done today?" ”

Yes, Li Shimin kicked the ball to the feet of the courtiers with a word, and the ministers who carved the wood were dumbfounded this time, no one wanted to offend Li Shimin's powerful sons because of this matter, besides, God knows that the cloud will rain, if there is a case, then I really don't know how to die, but Li Shimin has already kicked the ball over, and he has to talk back, right? Others can pretend to be stupid, but Fang Xuanling, as the prime minister, did not have this blessing, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the princes are young, and it is inevitable that there will be some bumps and bumps occasionally, but they are just naughty, so there is no need to worry about it." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, those naughty bags in the minister's mansion are not less noisy, the left and right are just noisy in the morning, and they are so good that they are a person at night, Weichen thinks that this matter is nothing to worry about, just deal with it lightly." Hou Junji has always been Li Shimin's confidant, and he has already seen that Li Shimin is planning to make peace with the mud, so he will pass this matter aside, and he will also go out and echo it.

Wei Zheng's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still endured it and stood aside silently; The eldest grandson Wuji was even more dazed, he simply didn't move, and he was stunned to play stupid to the end, but unfortunately Li Shimin didn't plan to let him go, he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "Wuji, I want to hear your opinion." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was forced to stand up, and a cheeky smile appeared on his chubby face: "The minister has no objection, everything is determined by the saint." ”

Li Zhen didn't care anyway, he could pass the test, he didn't think about dealing with Li Chengqian, but unfortunately Li Chengqian's heart to drive him out of the East Palace was very urgent, and when he saw that the matter was going to be yellow, he immediately stopped doing it, and stood up with a limp: "Father, the eighth brother abuses his father's tokens, although he is young and ignorant, but this wind can't last, and it's always bad to break the dynasty." ”

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, Li Tai and the others stopped doing it, and finally they were able to seize an opportunity to stink the prince, how could they let it go so easily, they all knelt up straight as soon as they snorted, and said in unison as if they had made an appointment: "Father Qi, the eighth brother has always acted steadily, and the sons and ministers all know about it, and I also ask my father to investigate this matter and give the eighth brother justice." ”

Damn, these damn heirs, you take your heirs, but expect us to go to the fire, it's too fucking excessive! Seeing that he had become a gun in someone else's hand, Li Zhen was really angry, and he really wanted to jump up and scold a few times, but unfortunately he could only think about it, but well, of course, scolding is not scolding, but some things can be done, right?

When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, this is a turbulent truth, Li Zhen knows very well in his heart that the reason why the prince wants to rectify himself is nothing more than that he is always in and out of the East Palace, hindering his hands and feet, but it is not a deep hatred, this knot is not insoluble, the key is on the jade pendant given by the emperor, therefore, the gang of brothers just got up, Li Zhen immediately got up, took out the jade pendant from his arms, held it with both hands, took two small feet, walked quickly to the few sons where Li Shimin was sitting, and put the jade pendant on a few sons, Silently bowed, retreated to his place, and fell to his knees.

Li Zhen's hand was obviously beyond everyone's expectations, and even better was that Li Zhen didn't open his mouth to defend at all, neither the prince nor the other brothers could find a place to borrow, the hall immediately quieted down, everyone was a little dumbfounded, Li Shimin silently looked at Li Zhen who didn't move for a while, sighed and said: "That's it, just wait for everyone to retreat, I want to be quiet." The old man gave an eviction order, and the big guys naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so they kowtowed and retreated.

As soon as he came out of the Ganlu Palace, before Li Zhen could slip away, Li Tai spoke: "Eighth brother, I have wronged you today, go, go to my brother's house and sit down, my brother just got a chef a few days ago, and his skills are not bad, so I can satisfy my eighth brother." ”

Well, we can't afford your wine, so it's better to stay away. Li Zhen didn't even reply, just bowed down and saluted, and slipped away on her own. Although Li Tai touched a soft nail, he was not annoyed, shrugged his shoulders, and laughed, the laughter was particularly harsh in Li Chengqian's ears, but Li Chengqian couldn't find an excuse to vent, so he snorted coldly, and went back to the East Palace on his own......
