Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 100
Cheng Yaojin may seem reckless, but he is a rough and fine person. He has been an official for so many years. It is not that he has not been impeached by the officials, but every time the other party is used by him with the same temperament as "hob meat" Shocked back.

But this is the first time he has encountered a situation of "both dying together" like today.

"It's nothing special for me as a general to be fined by the court, but he is a speech officer. He made me put myself on the line by doing this. Is he crazy?"

As the saying goes, there must be a monster if something goes wrong, Cheng Yaojin believed in this, so he became serious at this moment, and stared round at the speaker.

"My old Cheng is a rough man, what do you want to do!"

The speaker didn't pay attention to Cheng Yaojin, but kowtowed three times to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please punish me, and use it as a guideline!"

At this moment, not to mention Cheng Yaojin, even Li Shimin who was sitting above felt that something was wrong. The speech officer who is famous for cherishing his reputation this time wanted to drag Cheng Yaojin into the water at the expense of himself.

However, there is an old saying that goes, "Those who are involved are confused by those who are on the sidelines." Compared with Cheng Yaojin, Li Shimin, as a bystander, can see more thoroughly.

As the former general of Tiance, Li Shimin naturally has his own unique side, just like the two rebellions he experienced back then.

The first time was against Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, and then made his father Li Yuan the emperor, and the second time was against his father Li Yuan, and then became the emperor himself.

So in Li Shimin's view, there is no right or wrong thing to do, only worth doing.

And this time, he also used this way of thinking.

The reputation of a speech official is related to his own future and destiny. If the purpose is only to make Cheng Yaojin suffer from the imperial scepter and then fined three months' salary, it is obviously not worth paying for his own future and destiny. Therefore, his goal is definitely not on Cheng Yaojin.

"Since it's not on Cheng Yaojin's body, then whose body will it be on?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face suddenly changed.

"I understand!"

Li Shimin went to Cheng Yaojin's mansion last night. He naturally knew that apart from Cheng Yaojin, there was Gao Ming in Cheng's mansion at that time. But it's different.

Obviously, the purpose of this speaker is the prince!

Although Gao Ming used to have a bad reputation, but now he has gradually turned it around. Li Shimin believes that in a few years, Gao Ming's reputation will become very good, and he will become a prince who can stand on the stage.

But if the news that "the crown prince and Lu Guogong summon prostitutes together in the Cheng Mansion" spreads now, then the blow to Gao Ming's reputation can be said to be very serious, so severe that it can destroy everything he has done before!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately became angry.

"A mere speech officer dares to plot against the prince. Do you really think that I won't kill people?"

With the intention to kill, the expression on Li Shimin's face became a little ferocious.

Officials more or less have the ability to read words and expressions, and the Yanguan is the same. When he saw Li Shimin's hideous expression, he was immediately frightened, and began to tremble as he knelt on the ground.

When Li Shimin saw the trembling speaker below, he immediately knew that he had guessed right, but at the same time, another question rose from his mind.

"Why does this speaker want to ruin the prince's reputation?"

At this time, Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai who was standing below him, and seeing his somewhat excited face, Li Shimin suddenly understood, from the meeting in the imperial study room last night, to the impeachment of Cheng Yaojin by the speech officer this morning, it was all the same. A game set by Li Taibu!

"Assuming I didn't go out to the Cheng Mansion last night, assuming I didn't hear Gao Ming's song, assuming I still have prejudice against Gao Ming, then the current situation may be hard to say..."

Li Shimin knew that if his assumptions just now were true, he would be very angry and disappointed at this time, and then he would severely punish Gao Ming. In this way, the reputation that Gao Ming had earned so hard these days would be wiped out. At that time, perhaps the voice of the abolished prince will sound again.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin sighed for a long time.

"Hey... Qingque, Qingque, what do you mean by doing this? Do you hate your elder brother so much?"

In fact, Li Shimin also had a kind of guess that frightened him, but he didn't want to add such a guess to his favorite son.

To put it bluntly, it is self-deception.

Although Li Shimin couldn't bear to blame Li Tai, he was not so polite to others, especially the guy who jumped out to ruin Gao Ming's reputation. At this time, Li Shimin hated him deeply.

It can be said that Li Shimin blamed all the faults on this spokesperson, and then prepared to pour out all his anger on him.

So, Li Shimin stared at Cheng Yaojin with red eyes.

"Lu Guogong, what else do you have to say?"

Cheng Yaojin originally planned to deny it, but when he saw Li Shimin's red eyes, his heart trembled, and he nodded in recognition.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I admit that you want to beat me up and punish me!"

As soon as his words fell, Li Shimin shouted immediately.

"Since that's the case, come and take Lu Guogong out for thirty sticks and a fine of half a year!"

"promise!"

Hearing Li Shimin's will, the guards standing at the entrance of the main hall immediately walked in, and then pushed Cheng Yaojin out, pressed him against the entrance of the main hall and fought thirty battles "crackling".

To say that this Cheng Yaojin is also a ruthless person, he has not said a word after thirty battles, if his buttocks were not bloody, maybe people would have thought it was a fake fight.

After beating Cheng Yaojin, it was naturally his turn to impeach Cheng Yaojin's speaker. After all, Cheng Yaojin was also the Duke of the Tang Dynasty. Even the Duke was beaten. How could a speaker escape?
Immediately, Li Shimin called the guards at the gate of the main hall in again.

"Take Sun Yushi out as well. Like Lu Guogong, he will be punished with a staff of thirty."

Having said that, Li Shimin waved to Liu Bing again.

"Liu Bing, Sun Yushi is as good as Lu Guogong in physique, go out and watch, if he really can't stand it, let them stop!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, all the civil and military officials in the court felt that Li Shimin was really kind-hearted. Only Liu Bing, who was the closest, saw the murderous intent in Li Shimin's eyes!
"Your Majesty wants that Sun to die!"

Liu Bing understood Li Shimin's feelings, because last night when Li Shimin was standing outside Cheng's mansion crying tears streaming down his face, he was by Li Shimin's side, so Liu Bing understood that today's Gao Ming is Li Shimin's reverse scale.

Dragons have reverse scales, those who touch them will die!
