After Yuan Tiangang agreed to Li Zhi's request, he went to the resettlement site to teach the next day.

Before that, the rewards of him and Li Chunfeng were also announced.

Li Chunfeng added the title of Chengwu Lang on the basis of the general servant, and Yuan Tiangang was appointed as the counselor.

Yuan Tiangang resigned from the post of county official for only one year, and was given a five-grade idle position, which made him very happy.

Li Zhi saw that Yuan Tiangang had already gone to teach, so he simply didn't do anything.

On the condition that he agreed to help Li Su build a larger laboratory, he invited Li Su and his students to the resettlement site.

In this way, the teachers there will be enough at once.

After solving these problems, Li Zhi honestly went to work in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for a few days.

As a result, he was urgently recruited into the palace within two days.

When he came to the Taiji Palace, he found that the court's ministers had basically arrived.

What puzzled him the most was that Dai Xuan and Li Daozong, who rarely participated in political affairs outside the court meeting, both arrived.

What puzzled him even more was that Wang Qi was standing alone in the center of the main hall with his head down.

That's obviously a mistake.

When he stood beside Fang Xuanling, Li Chengqian and Li Tai also arrived almost at the same time.

Judging by the performance of the two of them, it seems that they have no idea what is happening.

Just as Li Zhi wanted to quietly ask Fang Xuanling about it, Li Shimin, who was sitting above, spoke at this time.

I only heard him say with anger on his face: "Wang Qi, as a servant of the Yellow Gate, how can you, as the prime minister, leak the forbidden words of the imperial court to others at will?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin's words were finished, Li Zhi was stunned at that time.

The so-called forbidden words were some unimplemented policies that the emperor had negotiated with his close ministers.

This is what is now known as grapevine.

The news that can be known by a person at the level of a prime minister like Wang Qi naturally has a lot of value.

Therefore, it can be deduced how serious the mistake made by Wang Jue is.

After listening to Li Shimin's questioning, Wang Jue bowed down and said: "Weichen was confused for a while, which caused a big mistake, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Wang Qi was speechless at this time.

Since he is Li Tai's teacher, some interests are naturally bound to Li Tai.

However, Li Tai's performance in the court a few days ago really disappointed him.

To put it mildly, any official who can show his face in this court must have more political wisdom than Li Tai.

So in the past few days, he and Li Tai have discussed many political issues, and found that many of Li Tai's ideas are quite short-sighted.

He made a point of mentioning this a few times.

However, although Li Tai made an appearance of being humbled and taught on the surface, in fact, he did not make any progress at all.

So he was depressed and drank more yesterday.

As a result, the news that Li Shimin was preparing to travel was leaked in a daze.

What frustrated him the most was that he had forgotten who these words were addressed to.

When Li Shimin saw that Wang Jue didn't emphasize the reason at all, he directly opened his mouth to admit his mistake, and immediately had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.

This matter is related to my life and death, don't you explain how to let me deal with it?

Sure enough, when Li Shimin was secretly anxious, the imperial historian Cui Yi was the first to stand up.

I only heard him speak: "Your Majesty, all the major affairs in the DPRK and China are related to the people's livelihood and the country, and the prince has made such a big mistake by taking the responsibility of slaughtering and assisting, please punish him according to the law." ”

Cui Yi was born in a family, how could he bear it when he saw an important minister who had the opportunity to bring down Li Shimin at this time?

As soon as he opened his mouth, five or six officials from the family family stood up to support him.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Li Jing and other Wang Jue's friends couldn't help frowning when they saw this situation.

At this moment, Kong Yingda, the prince's right concubine, spoke: "Your Majesty, the major affairs of the country should not be neglected, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to take the king's service seriously to set an example." ”

When he said this, all the officials of the prince's family all looked at the prince.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he immediately followed up and demanded that Wang Jue be severely punished.

Nearly half of the people who demanded heavy fines in this way have been requested.

Many of the rest of the people were waiting for Li Tai to speak.

As a student of Wang Qi, he should also show his attitude at this time.

Fortunately, Li Tai is not too stupid.

At this time, he stood up and said: "Father, although there is a mistake in the king's servant, it is also an unintentional mistake to think about it. ”

Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Li Shimin and saw that Li Shimin did not show dissatisfaction.

So he continued: "The king's servants have always been honest and reliable, and it is probably inappropriate to impose heavy penalties for a moment of negligence. ”

After Li Tai opened his mouth, some people immediately followed and pleaded for Wang Qi.

This made Wang Qi a lot less stressed.

However, there are still a minority of those who support a light sentence.

Therefore, Cui Yi spoke again and said: "Your Majesty, this matter has a lot to do with it, is it an unintentional mistake that can be perfunctory?" Your Majesty, please think twice. ”

Kong Yingda also said on the side: "Meritorious service is meritorious service, and your majesty should not forgive today's merits for the merits of the past." ”

As soon as the two men spoke, a group of people came behind them.

This pressure was immediately put on Wang Jue's body again.

It stands to reason that at this time, Li Tai should immediately stand up and continue to argue for Wang Qi.

Whether his words are reasonable or not, they can give Li Shimin a reason for a light sentence.

However, Li Tai was in deep thought at the moment, and he was still thinking about what good excuse he could have to excuse Wang Qi.

Li Shimin had already set his eyes on Li Tai.

He had expected that Li Tai would soon come up with some excuses to refute it.

However, he didn't know that Li Tai had completely diverged from direction at this time.

The people who looked at Li Tai were all looking at him at this time, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see Li Tai say anything.

Fang Xuanling, who was standing beside Li Zhi, looked anxious for a while.

In this case, they must not be able to speak.

However, Li Tai, who was able to speak, lost his words at this time.

Just when Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others were secretly anxious, Li Zhi suddenly stood up.

I only heard him speak: "Father, the sons think that the king is not qualified for the position of servant, so it is better to serve as a chief official to support the elderly!" ”

After Li Zhi's words were finished, the eyes of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others immediately lit up.

Wang Jue, who had been bowing his head and being silent, was even more shocked after hearing this.

Li Zhi's move is simply too beautiful.

What everyone was arguing about just now was the issue of heavy sentences and light sentences, but no one gave specific opinions.

Only Li Zhi came up and went straight to the point, and first arranged a position for Wang Qi.

The most important thing is that Li Zhi's arrangement is very meaningful.

The first is to demote Wang Qi from the prime minister to a chief official, which is equivalent to two consecutive demotions.

This is not a light punishment in anyone's eyes.

However, even better, doing so left room for Li Shimin to reactivate Wang Jue.

The reason is very simple, that is, there is a function in the employment system at this time that Li Shimin can give at will.
