Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 869

Reminiscent of the fact that the emperor kept the memorial to impeach Su Cheng unpublished today, Wei Zheng felt that the emperor just wanted to shield Su Cheng.

Of course he understood Su Cheng's family, and he knew that it would be difficult for the emperor to punish Su Cheng, but he had to face it.

It is the duty of a minister to persuade the emperor.

After Wei Zheng left Dongshi, he went straight back to his residence, but Ma Zhou didn't. Instead, he visited his colleagues and friends.

Soon, there were many officials from the DPRK and China in the East Market. They walked around the East Market and walked in when they saw fur shops...

Chang'an City is very lively, and Sujiazhuang is even more lively.

Although the weather was cold, the maids in Sujiazhuang got up earlier than usual. They were so excited that they went to bed late last night, but they still got up early.

Everyone is very excited about going to Lishan for a short stay. They are all lively and lovely girls, and of course they like to go out for a stroll.

Originally, Princess Changle didn't plan to bring too many people, but she couldn't bear the enthusiasm of the maids and women in the mansion, so when they set off early in the morning, there were nearly a hundred carriages alone.

Two hundred guards were dispatched from the mansion, and Empress Changsun also sent five hundred guards. The mighty team stretched for several miles.

This means that Sujiazhuang is outside the city, otherwise it won't cause a sensation in Chang'an City?

Just as Su Cheng left Sujiazhuang with a large group of people and headed towards Mount Li, Li Shimin stepped into the hall.

"I'm waiting to meet your Majesty!"

Li Shimin sat down on the throne, waved his hands and said, "Your Excellency, please forgive me!"

Ma Zhou came out first, and said in a deep voice, "I report to Your Majesty, I have an answer!"

Seeing Ma Zhou, Li Shimin had a headache. This guy can be called Wei Zheng's successor, and he is also a stern and selfless troll.

"Ma Zhou, what do you want to play?" Li Shimin asked.

Ma Zhou said boldly: "My minister impeached Rong Guogong Su Cheng! Rong Guogong spread wrong information and caused panic in Chang'an. The imperial court made a wrong government order, and Rong Guogong cannot absolve himself of the blame!"

In fact, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others had long expected that the censor would jump out to impeach Su Cheng.

As soon as Ma Zhou finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin immediately jumped out and said loudly, "Ma Zhou, how do you know that Su Cheng's information was wrong? Do you have clairvoyance or clairvoyance? Can you hear and see the situation in Liaodong?"

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "To this day, there is still no urgent report from Liaodong. Doesn't this explain something?"

Yu Chigong interjected: "This is your fault. The urgent report hasn't come yet, but it doesn't mean it won't come in the future. It's too early for you to impeach Su Cheng now, isn't it?"

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am not lying. I have visited fur dealers in the East and West Markets. Many of them have just returned from Liaodong. They all said that Liaodong is very peaceful and there is no war! Without exception!"

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and others couldn't help being slightly taken aback when they heard this, what else?

These people even went to ask the people who came back from Liaodong recently, they are very smart!

This really caught people off guard.

When Cheng Yaojin and others were in a daze, the censors came out one after another.

"Your Majesty, I also went to the east and west markets to inquire. I even asked several businessmen who returned to Chang'an from Liaodong yesterday. They all said that Liaodong was very peaceful and there was no war at all."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also went to the east and west cities to inquire, and there is no war in Liaodong!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have also checked, and Goguryeo is not an offender!"

……

Sitting on the throne, Li Shimin just listened quietly, not surprised in his heart, after all, it has been so long, it should be revealed.

If all the courtiers don't doubt and impeach Su Cheng, he will be disappointed.

Can this minister do it?

Cheng Yaojin shouted after being stunned: "Can those businessmen believe what they say? What important military affairs do they know?"

Wei Zheng came out and said: "They may not understand military and state affairs, but they know that Liaodong is not peaceful! Your Majesty, I also went to the east and west cities and asked many people from Liaodong. They all said that Taiping is very peaceful. I want to ask Duke Rong, did Goguryeo mobilize troops?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked for the ranks of generals.

There was no trace of Su Cheng there at all.

In fact, they didn't find Su Cheng at first. They just thought that Su Cheng was behind, but they didn't expect that there was no trace of Su Cheng in the hall.

When they got here, they immediately understood that Su Cheng had asked for sick leave and didn't come to the morning court.

What's the matter?

escape?

Still fearless?

Wei Zheng and the others felt annoyed with their attitude towards Su Cheng.

This matter is serious, but it is not serious, after all, it did not cause any major losses.

But Su Cheng didn't come, which made them feel that Su Cheng didn't realize his mistake at all.

Of course Yu Chigong and the others knew that Su Cheng hadn't come, and they were also speechless.

Did Su Cheng think he could escape by hiding at home and pretending to be sick?

too naive!

Totally impossible.

If it can be avoided in this way, then the censor's spittle would not be so scary.

Because you can hide today, but you can't hide tomorrow.

You can hide tomorrow, but you can't hide the day after tomorrow.

You can run away, monks can't run away from the temple.

After scanning around, Wei Zheng said in a deep voice, "So Duke Rong didn't come to court today?"

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said, "That's right, Su Cheng didn't come to court because of something."

All the civil servants couldn't help but feel moved when they heard that they didn't come to the morning court because they had something to do, not because they didn't come to the morning court due to illness.

If you didn't come to the Great Court Meeting, there is generally only one possibility, and that is sickness.

Because it is impossible to have anything more important than the Dachaohui.

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice, "I dare to ask Your Majesty why Rong Guogong didn't attend the Great Court Meeting? Is there anything more important than the Great Court Meeting? Or did Rong Guogong know that he would be impeached, so he didn't come to the Great Court Meeting on purpose?"

Nonsense, that kid deliberately avoided it because he knew he was about to be impeached!

Although Li Shimin thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out.

Li Shimin said vaguely: "Su Cheng, I went to Mount Li, so I can't hold the court meeting today."

Lishan?

What are you doing in Lishan?

It seems that Lishan is in the palace and there is nothing else.

Did you go on a winter tour?

The people in Chang'an were disturbed, and the court was disturbed. Su Cheng actually hid in Lishan to go sightseeing?

It is simply unbearable and unbearable!

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Duke Rong spread the news of Goguryeo's dispatch of troops, which caused a storm all over the court. At such a critical moment, he left state affairs and went on an outing. Is there any duty as a minister? Your minister impeached Su. Cheng, not distinguishing right from wrong, neglecting state affairs, implore His Majesty to punish Rong Guogong!"

Li Ji said calmly: "Master Wei, you said that Su Cheng's spread is full of wind and rain. The old man is very curious. Who among you has heard of Su Cheng?"
