Datang Nongwang

Chapter 530 The Book of Manmin is the Gold Medal for Avoiding Death

The play is over.

But there has to be a decision.

But these court officials seemed to be all hoarse, and even a few of them lowered their heads and looked at their insteps, probably scolding their mothers in their hearts.

Whether they scold their mothers or not, that is what they asked for.

Who told them to follow Fang Xuanling and started targeting Li Chongyuan as soon as they came.

And as soon as Li Chongzhen's play was staged, it was difficult for them not to scold their mothers.

But at this moment, Li Chongyi and his two brothers didn't know if they learned from Li Chongzhen, or they were pretending to be a bit over the top. The one with the loudest voice almost broke through the top of the hall.

This also made Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, squinting his eyes all the time, seeming to have a headache.

Wang Li, who was standing at the side, saw that the father and son had gone too far, and saw that Li Shimin glanced at him, straightened his body again, and coughed heavily.

Under Wang Li's heavy cough, Li Xiaogong immediately reacted and stopped crying.

As for his three sons, after seeing their father stopped crying, they immediately stopped howling.

Li Shimin looked up at Li Xiaogong and his son, then at Li Chongyuan, and said in a loud voice: "Li Chongyuan, what Chongzhen said is true!"

Huh.

Li Chongyuan was still enjoying his uncle's family acting, but he was startled by Li Shimin's heavy voice, and looked at Li Shimin.

I thought in my heart, 'Could it be that he discovered the problem with Chongzhen?What can I do, if he finds out about this, then I will suffer. '

If the court deceived the emperor, if this crime was held on his head, the fruit would definitely be unpalatable.

Just when Li Chongyuan didn't know whether to answer or choose to remain silent, Wei Zheng, who hadn't spoken since the beginning of today's court meeting, suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Shimin, "My lord, although I don't know what Li Xianbo just said It is true or false, but judging from what Li Xianbo did in Xixiang and Li Chongzhen's appearance as Li Xianhou, it must be true. Your Majesty, Xue Wu fought with bandits in Xixiang If there is a relationship, this is a big matter, and I ask the Holy One to immediately dispatch soldiers to replace the Yangzhou Command Army Mansion, in case there is any change."

Has Xixiang changed?
At least before Li Chongyuan left Xixiang, he didn't feel any changes.

Li Chongyuan even thought that Xue Wu and himself were of the same line even before Yao Kong didn't know Xue Wu's matter.

How should I put it, Xue Wu is also under the command of his sister-in-law's father, who else is he targeting if he is not towards himself.

But there is a way.

People die for what they eat, but birds die for what they eat.

Although the commander of a commander-in-chief mansion has a high rank, he is only the military commander of a state.

A military chief of a state eats the imperial court's salary and receives the imperial court's rewards, and nothing else.

It is understandable to want to make some money and profit for yourself.

But Li Chongyuan didn't know how far Xue Wu had stretched his hand in the matter of Xixiang, nor did the evidence provided by Yao Kong.

Therefore, although Li Chongyuan said he was a little displeased with Xue Wu's behavior, he could understand it after thinking about it.

It doesn't matter if it's understandable or not.

But when the time comes for Li Chongyuan to be criticized by others, then it doesn't matter who you are, even if you are one of your own, Li Chongyuan will have to explode this thunder.

What's more, he, Xue Wu, has been in charge of the army in Yangzhou for several years. On his own territory, a bandit village can occupy for more than ten years. In any case, it has something to do with him.

Even if Li Chongyuan doesn't explode this thunder, he, Xue Wu, will fall down one day.

Back to the point.

When Wei Zheng stood up, the other court officials seemed to have reached a consensus, and they all stood up and asked Li Shimin, "My lord, I think what Wei Jungong said is wrong. As far as I know, Yangzhou recently According to the report that came up, everything is peaceful, and Xue Wu Xue commanded the army as usual, and even helped to maintain the official system in Yangzhou. Therefore, the minister believes that this matter must be fraudulent, or it is what Li Chongyuan did in Xixiang , Offended him, Tongjun Xue, so he beat him up."

"I also think that this matter cannot be acted according to the words of the Duke of Wei. All the government offices in Yangzhou were messed up by Li Chongyuan. The officials are not officials, and the officials are not officials. No matter what the crime is, Li Chongyuan will be arrested and imprisoned by Li Chongyuan. The minister knows the punishment department. If everyone behaves like this, then our official system will inevitably be destroyed, and I also ask the Holy Spirit to punish Li Chongyuan according to the law, seize his title, and remove him from office."

"My lord, I have read the report from Yangzhou. The people of Yangzhou lived and worked in peace and contentment, but when Li Chongyuan arrived in Xixiang, in addition to arresting officials, it is said that he even killed countless beheaded people. It is a large-scale construction, laboring the people and wasting money. The ministers seconded the proposal to seize the title of Li Chongyuan and remove him from his post."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

in a moment.

All the civil servants reached a consensus invisibly, regardless of whether it was Li Chongyuan or Li Chongzhen, whether what they said was true or false, nothing was asked or investigated.

They want Li Chongyuan to have no place to stay, and they want Li Shimin to deprive him of Li Chongyuan's title, as well as the few official positions on his head.

The style has changed.

The civil servants no longer investigated the truth and just wanted to kill Li Chongyuan, which made Li Chongyuan who was standing in the center feel a little unbelievable.

I feel that these civil servants in front of me really have weird heads.

Just now I was talking about the Yangzhou officials, the Tongjun Mansion and the Xixiang gentry colluding with bandits to kidnap Li's family members, why did it turn to Li Chongyuan in a blink of an eye.

He even ignored Li Chongzhen and didn't care what happened to the Yangzhou Commander's Mansion.

The civil servants stood up one by one, abandoning all matters related to the military mansion and Yangzhou officialdom, not to mention the local gentry in Xixiang.

It is their goal to kill Li Chongyuan.

Most of the civil servants in the main hall were like this, and with each wave, even the civil servants outside the hall began to join Li Chongyuan.

And with more and more people participating in Li Chongyuan's group.

The reason why he joined Li Chongyuan also began to change.

Some people say that Li Chongyuan beheaded his beloved in Xixiang, and some people say that Li Chongyuan was wasting people and money.

Some people even said that Li Chongyuan gathered people in Li Zhuang and wanted to make trouble.

Also, some people even wanted to join Li Chongyuan to snatch the caramel for the children.

Further down, some people also said that when Li Chongyuan was seven or eight years old, he urinated at the gate of the palace city.

'I'm going, this is to expose all the things I have committed since I was a child, so many of you beat me up, are you shameless? '

Li Chongyuan listened to these officials, counting from the time he could walk, all the odds and zeros added up, it is estimated that there would be a pile of case files several feet thick.

startled.

Li Chongyuan was startled.

The generals were also shocked.

Even Li Shimin was a little surprised.

With so many people participating in the Great Court Conference, all officials above the ninth rank in Beijing have to participate in the Great Court Conference twice a month, but under today's Great Court Conference, Li Chongyuan has become the target of verbal criticism by all the civil officials. For example, if they don't kill Li Chongyuan, they don't seem to be willing to let it go.

Everyone was shocked.

In the distance, Li Chongji looked like a person with nothing to do.

Regarding the scene in front of him, he seemed to be fully aware of it, and he didn't care at all. He listened with both ears, but there was a faint smile on his face.

Li Shimin listened to the excuses of all the officials criticizing Li Chongyuan at the same time, he couldn't bear it any longer, he slapped the head of the dragon chair hard, and shouted in a deep voice, "Who else wants to join Li Chongyuan, stand in front. "

Li Shimin was angry.

Regardless of the kidnapping of a family member of the Li family, everyone began to criticize Li Chongyuan.

This is already out of the agenda of the court, and it hurts his heart to see the faces of these civil servants.

After shouting in a deep voice, all the officials immediately shut up, and no one dared to say anything.

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling, with anger flashing in his eyes.

Li Shimin knew that today's attack, which seemed to have been discussed long ago, must have come from Fang Xuanling, an important minister he has always relied on.

Li Shimin is well aware of the grievances between the Li family and Fang Xuanling.

then.

Li Shimin's original intention was to let Li Chongyuan's father go to serve as governor of Henan Province, but because of Fang Xuanling's words, Li Gui went to serve as governor of Yizhou and eventually died in Yizhou.

This also made the Li family's hatred for Fang Xuanling never lacking.

It's just that once the backbone of the Li family is gone, the Li family is no longer Fang Xuanling's opponent, and it becomes unfair to want to attack.

"The title is not what you say you want to take, and the position is not what you say you can get rid of. It has been more than ten years since the founding of our Tang Dynasty, and our Tang law system has also been established for more than ten years. It has never happened like today. Your remarks like this. As a courtier of our Tang Dynasty, I don’t want to make contributions to my Tang Dynasty, but on top of such things, you criticize me, are you still officials of my Tang Kingdom!!!" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuan After a while, he shouted again in a deep voice.

Immediately.

In the entire court hall, it can be said that the sparrows are silent, and no one dares to make any noise.

It was completely different from the scene just now.

Li Shimin, who was angry after drinking, breathed a sigh of relief, then sat back on his throne, his eyes tightened, and he looked at Fang Xuanling, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

For a long time.

The court hall was silent, and even Li Chongzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, was so frightened by Li Shimin's aura just now that he didn't dare to take a breath.

After he calmed down, he stretched out his hand and gently pulled Li Chongyuan's trousers, and cast a look of help.

Li Chongyuan looked at Li Chongzhen, shook his head lightly, and signaled him not to speak or make any movement.

The emperor is on fire.

It's better to shut up, don't be guilty of the emperor's anger at this moment.

After a long time, none of the courtiers spoke, but Wei Zheng stood up again and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "My lord, when Li Chongyuan and Li Xianbo returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday, Xiang Chen had already resigned from the position of supervisory censor. He is not suitable to be a censor, and the minister blocked him for a long time, but he did not agree."

Wei Zheng's words came out very well.

This allowed the courtiers to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chongyuan after hearing Wei Zheng's words, "Why?"

When Li Shimin asked, Li Chongyuan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bowed.

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the minister is guilty. As the court officials said, I violated the imperial system and the official system in Xixiang. The post of supervisory censor, according to the official system, does not have the right to arrest officials. It's just a trip of supervision. But I can't see the behavior of the entire officialdom in Yangzhou, so I violate the court system and the official system. I know that I am punished for crimes. Once I return to Chang'an, I will resign from the supervision to Duke Wei. As a censor, I ask the Holy One to punish him." Of course Li Chongyuan had to admit this.

The official resigned, of course he had to admit it.

As for how Li Shimin would deal with him, that was another matter.

Besides, Li Chongyuan really didn't want to be a supervisory censor, and he was not suitable for the official position of a supervisory censor.

You have to admit the crime, after all, the officials in Yangzhou sent someone to arrest them, and they were also sent to prison.

No matter what happened, he couldn't escape it.

Li Shimin looked at Li Chongyuan with displeasure, and then looked at Fang Xuanling, "Mr. Xing, Li Chongyuan has resigned from his post of supervisory censor, and even admitted that he violated the official system of the court. What do you think?"

Huh.

When Li Shimin asked, Fang Xuanling immediately became nervous.

Not to mention that Fang Xuanling became nervous, even the officials who attacked Li Chongyuan with him just now were very nervous.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling was being roasted by Li Shimin on the fire, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. He didn't know how to deal with Li Shimin's question.

but.

Who is Fang Xuanling?

He is a counselor, and he can turn the crisis into safety when it comes to his hands, let alone such a small matter.

This is not.

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Fang Xuanling had a way to deal with it, and then he stood up and bowed, "My lord, Li Chongyuan has resigned from the position of supervisory censor and corrected the official system of our court. It is a good thing. What Li Chongyuan did in Yangzhou caused confusion among the officials in Yangzhou, and there were many deficiencies. It was good to make up for his crime. But Li Chongyuan beheaded countless lovers because of his liking, and disturbed the normal life of the people. It is unavoidable. According to the law of our dynasty, the ministers and all the courtiers believe that Li Chongyuan's crime is very serious, and his official position should be taken away to make an example. As for his noble, he must be handed over to Zongzheng Temple for disposal."

Okay.

Fang Xuanling was at the end of the day, and he still let Li Chongyuan bear all the charges for the Xixiang incident.

Whatever official position is taken away, whether the title is taken away or not, it has to be handed over to Zongzheng Temple for disposal.

Fang Xuanling's move made all the civil servants secretly say hello.

But the people of the military commander line secretly said something bad in their hearts.

On the other hand, Li Chongyuan at this time looked at Fang Xuanling as if he couldn't help but laugh, and said "lying on the grass" ten thousand times in his heart.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

At this time, with Li Shimin's rhetorical question, Fang Xuanling still dared to fight against Li Shimin to kill Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan finally knew that Fang Xuanling's conspiracy was really a conspiracy.

What does Fang Xuanling do?

What people do is to preside over laws and regulations, as long as he says something, it must be based on something.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the people Li Chongyuan ordered to be killed in Xixiang must be guilty of this or that.

Li Chongyuan really doesn't care whether he loses his official position or not.

But the title on his head is his future.

If the Jue is gone, the Xixiang fiefdom wharf, Yangshui, and the shipyard will be even more impossible to advance.

Even in his future, many things may not be possible without the title.

After Fang Xuanling's words came down, Li Shimin's eyebrows were tightened, his eyes were wide open, and a cold light shot directly at Fang Xuanling.

At this moment, Li Shimin was absolutely disliked and displeased with Fang Xuanling.

On the other hand, those civil servants, when Fang Xuanling's words fell behind, they began to echo their voices again, agreeing with what Fang Xuanling said just now.

Immediately.

Above the court hall, there was another noisy sound.

"Your Majesty, I think that Fang Gong's words are not based on textual research. As far as I know, Li Chongyuan beheaded the nursing home sent by Zheng Tong's son Zheng Tong in Yangzhou Biejia because of the little baby's sale. Is it true? Beloved, according to the laws of Tang Dynasty, it is already a serious crime to sell a child, and you should be punished according to the law. Li Chongyuan beheaded the bandit who sold a child on the spot, and he would never be a crime of depriving him of his official position, let alone going to the Zongzheng Temple Convict him of guarding the rank." Standing aside, Wei Zheng heard that Fang Xuanling was still thinking of killing Li Chongyuan at this moment, he couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately spoke out.

Li Chongyuan and Wei Zheng stood up to speak for themselves at this time, and I was really moved.

I thought to myself, 'Little old man, after today's incident is over, I'll bring some wine to see you. '

Wei Zheng was helping Li Chongyuan.

At least, Wei Zheng is not attached to any party, he can be regarded as a neutral person.

Of course, if the matter had something to do with the Kong family, then Wei Zheng would have to side with the Kong family.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was speaking for Li Chongyuan, Fang Xuanling glanced at Wei Zheng with resentment in his eyes, "My lord, as Duke Wei said, the beheaded man Li Chongyuan beheaded was a petty man, so this matter should be considered It's over. But the crime of disrupting the common people's behavior is unavoidable, and I still suggest that the Holy Majesty deprive Li Chongyuan of his official position and hand it over to Zongzheng Temple for disposal.

Huh.

Fang Xuanling's mouth, there is really no one else.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan wished he could jump over and knock the old guy down with a single punch.

Li Chongyuan panicked.

Even Li Xiaogong who was not far away panicked.

It is not a trivial matter to seize an official position and then send it to Zongzheng Temple to dispose of the title.

As for Li Chongyuan's title being removed, or downgraded by one or two ranks, it has to be terminated according to the officials of Zongzheng Temple.

As Fang Xuanling said, once the crime of disrupting the common people is established, Li Xianbo will probably have to return to Li Xiannan in the future.

Just when Li Chongyuan panicked, Li Xiaogong also panicked.

Li Chongji, who had always been as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly shouted loudly: "My lord, I have something to report."

Seeing Li Chongyuan's eldest brother, Li Shimin finally spoke. Although the current situation was a bit difficult to deal with, he still asked Li Chongji to speak in the middle of the hall.

When Li Chongji came to the center of the hall and passed by Fang Xuanling, he still didn't forget to spit.

"Your Majesty, many officials in the court criticized my younger brother. As the eldest brother, I have no choice but to stand up and avenge my younger brother's crime." Li Chongji, who came to the center of the hall, bowed to Li Shimin.

Then he calmly took out the Wanmin book that he had prepared from his pocket, unfolded it to Li Shimin and the court officials, and said, "Please read it, Your Majesty, and all court officials. This is my fourth brother." After what Xixiang did for the people, the people of Xixiang wrote the Wanmin Letter to my fourth brother. I know that those who get the Wanmin Letter will be exempted from their crimes, and even their death penalty."

Huh.

At first, Li Chongyuan thought that his elder brother was just standing up to say a few good things for him.

Unexpectedly, my elder brother took out the Wanmin book he got in Xixiang, and even said bluntly that the Wanmin book could save him from sins, and even death.

Immediately.

Something flashed in Li Chongyuan's mind, a gold medal to avoid death.
