Chapter 853 Li Ke's Court Discussion

A new day begins.

When the sun was slowly rising, the Tai Chi Hall in the palace was extremely lively.

"My lord, Li Chongyuan disregarded the facts and brutally beat Cui Tong, the county magistrate of Chang'an, so that his legs and arms were crippled. Such a vicious method was used on his colleagues. Just ask, who in this world dares to be his colleague of Li Chongyuan. At least, I don't dare!" The court meeting had not been started for a long time, and even two state affairs were not discussed, when someone jumped out and started attacking Li Chongyuan.

but.

However, Li Chongyuan did not participate in today's court meeting.

After all, today is just a small meeting, not a big meeting.

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan really doesn't have time to attend any court meetings at this moment, he is in his mansion, treating the wounded, and at the same time, waiting for the pig mud to wake up in the basement of the Sun's house next door.

yesterday afternoon.

Li Chongyuan and Sun Simiao worked together to treat pig mud.

After this night, Zhu Ni has not woken up yet.

After being rescued by Li Chongyuan and others, and after another night, there was still no movement from the pig mud.

but.

In the early morning of this day, Sun's house arrived. Someone went to Xisha County Prince's Mansion to inform Li Chongyuan to go to Sun's house.

to this end.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan hurried to the Sun's house next door just after stopping the action of applying medicine to the wounded patient, and he didn't know the news from the court.

above the hall.

After one person stood up, some other people also started to stand up, attacking Li Chongyuan one after another.

Even though Li Chongyuan was not around, these officials still didn't want to let Li Chongyuan go.

but.

They are really smart, they only criticize some of Li Chongyuan's faults.

It's like beating Cui Tong, the county magistrate of Chang'an.

There is also the issue of Zhong Ji's penalty, which is what they are attacking.

"Your Majesty, I hate Li Chongyuan's actions. Although Li Chongyuan is the county king and secretary of agriculture, he beat and maimed a court official at will, and the person he beat was the county magistrate of Chang'an. With such deeds, I really want to know why Li Chongyuan can act like this. If all the officials in my dynasty can do this, then who in my Tang Dynasty would dare to be an official." Another fifth-rank minister jumped out to criticize Li Chongyuan is gone.

Before the man finished speaking, another person came out, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, if a superior official has any opinion on a subordinate official, he should report to the superior for a ruling. But he, Li Chongyuan, used lynching to beat Chang'an. Cui Tong, the county magistrate, and caused him to be physically disabled. If the wind is not contained, who in our dynasty would dare to serve as an official in the same dynasty as Li Chongyuan."

"Your Majesty, Li Chongyuan is Secretary of Agriculture. Even if you are the king of the county, you can't use private law indiscriminately. If anyone can do this, how will the people view our dynasty, and why do the people of the world trust us? Please, Your Majesty, Holy Judgment!"

"My lord, yesterday I heard that Li Chongyuan, the magistrate of Huxian County, was convicted of a crime by Li Chongyuan. I was very surprised. How could he, Li Chongyuan, have the qualifications to punish him! According to the law of our court, the punishment of officials can only be punished by the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple. The officials will check and submit to the emperor to make a decision, why can Li Chongyuan punish officials for crimes at will."

"I refuse to accept! Since I became an official, I have never heard that any superior official can privately set charges and lynch those who are lower officials. If the Holy One does not severely punish Li Chongyuan, I am willing to end my official career."

"."

When one person jumps out, countless people jump out.

And this is just the beginning.

Yes, just a start.

When the court discussion continued, more and more people jumped out, so many that Li Shimin frowned when he saw these people who jumped out to criticize Li Chongyuan.

Don't look at the officials who participated in the small court meeting are all officials above the fifth rank.

But in Chang'an City, there are really more than one official with rank five or higher.

For example, officials from the fifth rank, there are Dali Zheng, Tai Chang Cheng, Du Wei and so on.

Further up, it is from the fifth rank, what Zhusi Lang won, etc.

Officials at the upper and lower ranks of the fifth rank are not much different from the officials at the fifth rank, such as Dr. Guozi, Ge Shizhong, and Prince Zhongshu Sheren.

After reaching the fourth rank or above, there will be a lot less.

With so many fifth-rank officials participating in the court meeting, naturally, more and more people jumped out to criticize Li Chongyuan.

but.

In the hour since these people jumped out, Li Shimin has never seen a third-rank minister jumping out to criticize Li Chongyuan, which made Li Shimin a little relieved.

in fact.

It's not that they don't want to jump out, but that they can't jump out.

They could still see Li Shimin's angry face yesterday, but they didn't dare to jump out at this moment.

to this end.

They just hope that those who jump out will play forward first and try the effect first.

If Li Shimin retreated, or Li Shimin's mind loosened, they would jump out again.

On the contrary, they will never jump out and do anything. At most, they will only be spectators, watching the direction of the changes in the court.

Officials have done this, and none of them are fools.

Even those generals who look rough on the surface are not fools.

Li Shimin is really unhappy that the court discussion has come to this point.

Looking coldly at these people who jumped out to criticize, Li Shimin wished to whip them all one by one, so that they could sort out what happened yesterday.

The criticism has continued.

Sitting on the throne, Li Shimin has been watching the performances of the clowns below with cold eyes. He is also waiting for which ministers will jump out.

But after waiting, those ministers were very peaceful, like spectators, without saying a word.

Even Cui Renshi, the member of the Cui family, was very quiet and didn't jump out to complain to his brother.

Cui Renshi won't jump out at this time.

Those pawns jumping out is already enough for Li Shimin, and Cui Renshi jumping out at this time, isn't that just a selfish criticism.

Master Cui Ren would not be so stupid as to jump out at this time.

Moreover.

He knew what happened yesterday better than anyone else.

If he jumped out at this time, he was afraid that Li Shimin would suspect him, and at that time, he might not even be able to escape.

Another half hour passed.

The criticism never stopped.

More and more officials from the fifth rank, the fifth rank, or the fourth rank also jumped out to criticize Li Chongyuan.

But Li Shimin still sat on the throne without saying a word, watching how these officials who jumped out performed with cold eyes.

When the criticism reaches a certain level.

Li Ke, the king of Wu who had been paying attention to his father, stepped forward at an inappropriate moment, "Father, my son has something to say."

Wu Wang Li Ke stood up to speak at this time, and all the officials who jumped out just now looked at Li Ke, wondering whether Wu Wang Li Ke was with them and wanted to kill Li Chongyuan.

Just in recent years.

These officials are very close to this Wu Wang Li Ke.

Naturally, when Li Ke stood up to speak, he would definitely speak to them.

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, saw his son standing up, and his eyes immediately became a little bit bad.

However, Li Shimin didn't stop him at all, and he couldn't stop his son from speaking out, so he said with some displeasure: "What do you have to say!"

Wu Wang Li Ke saluted Li Shimin, and then looked around at the court officials.

"National affairs should be the most important thing in court discussions, but today, it is the opposite, and the criticism is endless. I understand what happened yesterday. But yesterday's events should have been discussed after state affairs were discussed. The ministers presented a formal settlement, instead of attacking me as just now. As far as I know, Zhong Ji, the county magistrate of Hu County, privately arrested the people and confessed his guilt in front of the Holy One. Li Siqing reported to the Holy One The Holy Majesty agrees with his crimes. Then, if Zhong Ji was convicted, he should not be brought up to the court again." Li Ke paused for a moment and bowed to Li Shimin when he said this.

And when Li Ke's words came out.

Whether it's the ministers or the court officials, they secretly thought that Li Ke was going against the water.

At the same time, they secretly hated Li Ke in their hearts.

They thought they always thought they wanted to protect Li Ke and wanted Li Ke to be crowned prince.

Although the position of the prince has been determined, as long as he works hard, no one knows what the result will be.

Besides, they always believed that Li Ke was the most suitable person to sit on the throne.

Because Li Ke has the blood of the two dynasties, if Li Ke can sit in that position, it can be said that his name is justified, and the history books will also say that his name is justified.

And now.

But Li Ke stood up and fought back against them, which made them feel like they had eaten a mouth full of sand, and they couldn't spit it out.

Li Ke saw that those people looked at him with some displeasure, he smiled and said: "The court meeting should look like a court meeting. No matter what Xisha County King Li Chongyuan committed, or because of which official he beat up, other There must be a verdict from the sage, instead of repeated attacks like you. Besides, I know something about what happened yesterday. Fangnan Street, so five people were killed. Also because Li Chongyuan killed five people, Chang'an County Magistrate Cui Tong led people to question him, Li Chongyuan left his guards to explain what happened, and Li Chongyuan's guards were beaten, and his life and death are still unknown."

"If you think about it, you also understand Li Chongyuan's character. He can distinguish between love and hate, and right and wrong. The guard was beaten by Chang'an County Magistrate Cui Tong without knowing whether he was alive or dead. Li Chongyuan became angry and led someone to beat Cui Tong himself. It should be possible to tell the matter at this point. The paragraph has come to an end, but there are dangers everywhere. Yesterday afternoon, more than a thousand well-trained gangsters attacked and killed Li Chongyuan, and quickly evacuated before the soldiers came to rescue him."

"Such an evil thing, let me ask you, if it happens to you, how do you think and how to deal with it? The thousands of well-trained gangsters have not been traced so far. I think some of the people present should know this. Who is the person. I don't want to comment on who is right and who is wrong in yesterday's incident. I just want to say that the court meeting should have the appearance of the court meeting. Therefore, I invite the emperor to legislate strict regulations on the court meeting, so as to avoid future changes in the court meeting Just like today, state affairs are undecided, and everything is chaotic."

After Li Ke's words fell, all the court officials present suddenly felt that Li Ke was planning to use such a method to prevent the court officials from attacking Li Chongyuan.

This also made some court officials suddenly feel that the pawns in their hands suddenly lost control?

Yes.

In the eyes of these court officials, each prince is just a pawn.

After all, the allure of Conglong Zhigong is too great.

If Li Ke can be sent to that position, their status and identity will rise in a straight line, and it can be said that they are on the rise.

However, they really did not expect that Li Ke would use such a method to stop their attacks at this time, and even said that he would legislate the rules of procedure of the court meeting.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Shimin, who was sitting on the throne, understood his son's thoughts and ideas, and felt very relieved, "Wu Wang's performance is very good, it is accurate."

The son is in his early years, and the father nods.

This is the most suitable double reed.

And this time.

Zhao Guogong's eldest Sun Wuji stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, it has been believed that all matters are discussed in the imperial court. Although state affairs are big, all matters are not small. Such as court councils, there must be strict laws and regulations. , the original intention of the court meeting will be lost, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I believe that court discussions are meant to listen to and discuss matters from all parties. Whether it is a state matter or a civil matter, it is a matter of state. If only some original matters are discussed, the voice of the people will not be heard. Where should I send it? Therefore, I echo what Zhao Guogong said." The eldest grandson Wuji has come out, so Fang Xuanling can't stand still.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

"."

The two princes came out, and the other ministers naturally also came out.

After the two came out, the opposition began to form a flood, flocking to Li Shimin and his son.

Li Ke was standing there at the moment, with his head down, and did not fight back.

Li Ke secretly smiled in his heart.

Laughing secretly, these ministers really didn't understand what his father was thinking, let alone know that just last night, his grandfather went back to the palace.

As for the news of Li Yuan's return to the palace last night, Li Chongyuan sent someone to inform Li Ke this morning.

After Li Ke heard the news, he understood what he was going to do.

The tendency for the father and son to get back together made Li Ke better understand how to choose, and even more knowing that he and Li Chongyuan did not have any conflicting relationship, and there was a certain agreement between the two.

As for what this agreement is, only the two of them know it, but outsiders have no way of knowing.

Li Ke stood up to speak today. On the surface, it seemed that he wanted to rectify the court proceedings, but he was actually speaking for Li Chongyuan.

Of course, some court officials present could guess what Li Ke was like on the surface and what he was like in reality, but not necessarily.

after all.

They really didn't realize how close Li Chongyuan and Li Ke were.

Li Ke's shot was fired, and he felt extremely comfortable.

At least, after I said this suggestion, I got my father's affirmation.

Although the court officials objected, he saw a flame burning.
