Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 196 Your Highness, Something Happened About You

Wei Zheng disagrees a hundred times with the emperor's protection of his shortcomings like an old hen, and the archives of the official department are written in black and white.If Li Tai has anything to do with this person, why should he use the dignity of a prince as a guarantee for him.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is busy. If you don't check, how do you know that this person has nothing to do with the King of Wei. He wrote in the recommendation form of the Ministry of Officials that this person is clean and elegant, and has a good reputation.

Here is the report note that Xuzhou Zhishi don't drive Feng Yi to Yushitai, which records in detail that Liu Xiong, who joined the army as Xuzhou Sihu, took advantage of his position to steal, oppress the people, and seize more than [-] acres of people's land. If there is no one behind, would you believe this? "

Wei Zheng didn't care whether the emperor was happy or not, what else could that little fat man do other than compose a few poems and songs with those sour scholars. Look at the good things he has done for the court and the people since he opened the Yajian Mansion.It's not as good as Li Ke, at least he knows to go to battle when the country is in trouble.

"Your Majesty, in the third year of Zhenguan, the Ministry of Officials selected a group of experienced junior officials from the former court according to His Majesty's order to seek talents when he ascended the throne, and this Liu Xiong was among them.

However, when the officials of the Ministry of Integrity in Xuzhou investigated his crimes, they found that this person had never been an official in the former Sui Dynasty, but his wife was from a branch of the Cui family. In this way, his official qualifications were deliberately forged.

Niu Jinda's words further supplemented Liu Xiong's matter, but what he said was much more cryptic than Wei Zheng's, at least he wouldn't directly bite out Li Tai, who didn't know that the emperor loved this fat son very much.

Of course, falsification of official calendars like this is nothing new nowadays, and the imperial court also turned a blind eye to encourage them to surrender and did not go into it. It's embarrassing for such a small mistake.

For Wei Zheng and Niu Jinda's words, Li Shimin naturally believed deeply, but what made him embarrassed was that little fat man, who didn't look at his character when he was kind to others, and it was inevitable that he would give others a slap in the face when it was spread to the court.

But when something happened, I had to investigate it, hey, and then let out a long breath: "Okay, I will leave this matter to you two, and Dali Temple will assist you in the trial." After finishing speaking, to Wei Zhenger The man waved his hand to signal them to back down. .
There is no impenetrable wall in this world. From the Ministry of Public Affairs to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and finally to Dali Temple, after passing through the hands of so many people, nothing can be concealed.

Because you will never know who is who in this intricate network of relationships, not to mention the deliberate propaganda of some gossip people.

"Sir, you also know the power of the Boling Cui family in Shandong. There are so many prime ministers from their family that they can't fit in the ancestral hall. When Liu Xiong was promoted, it was Cui Yong who found Xiao Wang. Can you not give me this face?" ?”

Cui Yong is the young master of the Cui family in Boling. He is a person who can't be invited normally. Although Li Tai is a prince, in front of the young master of this kind of family that has been passed down for thousands of years, he is not so noble as others.Otherwise, in the first edition of the clan annals, how could the officials list Cui as the most common surname by habit?

"Your Highness, of course this minister knows, but why does Cui Yong stand up for Liu Xiong? Isn't it strange?",
Yan Lide couldn't figure it out, how many relatives in a family as big as the Cui family had such relatives, I'm afraid they didn't even know how many relatives they had in their minds, so they had to wait until they had finished begging for officials.
"Although Liu Xiong's wife is from Qingzhou House, she is actually Cui Yong's illegitimate daughter. This Cui Yong dare not take her home, so he can only keep her in a side room and secretly give her some benefits. "

In this way, Yan Lide understands that Cui Yong's wife is Lu's first daughter and Mrs. Fang is a mother and compatriot. Both of them are notoriously jealous. This also explains why Cui Yong is so strong that even his daughter Let others help to raise.

Thinking of this, Yan Lide couldn't help but burst out laughing. It's really funny that this guy who is usually unsmiling can still have such an affair.

"Your Highness, it's okay if there is no trouble, but now this matter has already reached His Majesty. You know Wei Zheng and Niu Jinda, they are not as easy to fool as Xiao Yu, and now they can only Abandon the car to protect the handsome."

Yan Lide gently blew on the hot tea in his hand. It's not that he didn't want to help, but it wasn't worth it in his opinion to knock those two copper peas for the sake of this little guy.

In the past few years, in order to quickly form a force to compete with the East Palace, Li Tai has recruited a large number of middle and low-level officials. These people have different morals and complicated backgrounds, and it is impossible to digest them in a few years.

He believed that there was more than one person like Liu Xiong in Li Tai's lineage. If he helped Cui Yong this time, pulling out the carrot and bringing out the mud would be more than worth the loss.

"But what about Cui Yong's Xiao Wang? Let's talk about the investment of that Xiao Wang in Liu Xiong." It was a pity to give up on this young master of the Cui family after finally getting caught.

Of course Yan Lide understood Li Tai's meaning, and he waved his hand immediately: "Your Highness, in this situation, the only way to go is for a strong man to cut off his wrist. Besides, Cui Yong has more than one daughter. If you want to blame him, blame him for being blind and picky." A corrupt official is the son-in-law. The folks often say that the ugly daughter of the Cui family is not worried about marrying, but the royal princess is worried about marrying, so let him change it."

Isn't it just an illegitimate daughter, if you can keep it, you can keep it, if you can't, it's fine, if someone as smart as Cui Yong doesn't even have the ability to make such a choice, then this young master of the Cui family will stop doing it as soon as possible and buy a piece of tofu You can kill yourself.

"And once this matter comes to court, won't those who want to drive you out of Wude Hall have an excuse?"

Yan Lide's words hit Li Tai's heart. Although living in the Wude Palace seems to have a lot of scenery, the hardships involved are probably only known to him.

Just take the matter of the passageway last time as an example. I just made a small mistake. The emperor just yelled at me and scolded me. What the hell, I went to Zongzheng Temple and starved for three days.

If I really learned the Tao this time, not only would I not want to live in the Wude Hall anymore, but those officials who were attached to me would also fall apart like Xiao Yu's disciples.

"Well, according to what your lord said, Xiao Wang will inform Cui Yong right away. Besides, we didn't instigate him to be corrupt. Xiao Wang's helping him is just to maintain a good relationship with the Cui family."

Seeing that Li Tai has behaved this time, Yan Lide nodded in relief.It's good to know how to advance and retreat, don't go to the last time when passing through, I didn't say a lot of things, and offended many courtiers.

Not only did he hate the emperor, but in the end he let the East Palace take the limelight. If such things happen a few more times, let alone live in the Wude Palace and wait for the opportunity to fight for the reserve, it is not known how long this Chang'an City can live.
