First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 430 Relegated to the Eastern Palace Officials
...

Seeing Li Yuan staring at Li Shimin with a gloomy expression, he was very dissatisfied.

Gao Chong's thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "My husband, An Neng, has suffered such a great humiliation. If it wasn't for Yin Defei's respect, I would swear to kill him."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"You must not talk nonsense."

Li Shimin said hastily, he knew that Gao Chong was helping him out, but how could such words be said indiscriminately.

"Presumptuous", Li Yuan reprimanded the case: "The Tang Dynasty ruled the country by law, who do you want to kill?"

"Kill Yin Ashu!" Gao Chong beat his chest and feet with indignation, and said angrily to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, Yu Gong, I am a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, and I am the Duke of the county. Yu Si, I am the son-in-law of a saint, the royal family A relative of the state, he is white, how can he humiliate me? A man would rather die than humiliate, a scholar can be close but not forced, he can be killed but not humiliated."

Gao Chong said in a righteous and stern voice, echoing in the Ganlu Hall, it was really deafening, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Yuan was out of breath, his eyes were burning, and he glared at Gao Chong.

Li Shimin hastily dragged Gao Chong to the ground, "Aye calm down, you are young and energetic, and suddenly suffered such a big humiliation, he was furious for a while, and he didn't intend to be rude in front of the palace."

Gao Chong's heart was also pounding at this moment, and he tightly grasped Li Shimin's hand.

Li Erfeng, I did it this time because of you, don't forget about wealth and honor in the future.

His disturbance is bound to make Li Yuan dissatisfied, but for Li Shimin, he is a great contributor.

First, Gao Chong was to rescue Li Shimin.

Second, Concubine Yin De is the crown prince's strongest support in the harem.

As for Li Yuan's dissatisfaction, Gao Chong actually didn't care. Now that the battle between the two governments has become fierce, Li Erfeng's world will be ruled by Li Erfeng in a year or two. Li Yuan probably won't kill him anyway, after all, his identity is here. .

He probably...wouldn't kill him. Thinking of this, Gao Chong was a little apprehensive. He looked up and saw Li Yuan's face was ashen.

Lie down on the ground with a plop, Gao Chong burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I have never suffered such a great humiliation since I was a child, and I am really, really aggrieved.

I'm your son-in-law, and I'm also a relative of the emperor, so I can be called young and promising. That Yin Ashu beat me up in the street, where will my face be, and where will the Bohai Gao family's face be? Let it go, where will the face of the royal family be put..."

Li Shimin, Du Ruhui and others were dumbfounded.

Li Yuan breathed out, this kid was quite sensible, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Nianyou is young and vigorous, so I won't pursue your crime of indecency, go down to recuperate, and I will give you an explanation."

Gao Chong exhaled, it was fine if he didn't kill him on the spot, and immediately fell to the ground, "Yin Ashu is in Dali Temple, please let me review the case."

Li Yuan's face darkened again, "You are the person involved, so you need to avoid suspicion."

After Gao Chong heard the words, he continued: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The minister didn't think carefully, and Sun Fujia can investigate and deal with it."

Li Yuan was in a hurry, and reprimanded him: "It's not up to you, I make my own decision."

This is obviously Gao Chong's retreat and he doesn't want to hand over Yin Ashu, but Gao Chong is the victim after all, Li Yuan has already refuted it once, and it would be too ruthless to refute it again, it is too obvious to favor Yin Ashu, it is inevitable Provoking criticism.

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "Pass the decree to Dali Temple and order Sun Fujia to conduct a thorough investigation." After the words fell, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Shimin and Gao Chong supported Du Ruhui back to the Chengqian Hall, sat down on their own, and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

This time the Prince Qin's Mansion was slightly better. Even though it was just punishing a little Yin Ashu, it didn't matter to the overall situation, but the information released was enough to make people guess. At this point in the battle, the momentum must not be weak.

For the position of the crown prince, this aura is particularly important. For example, Li Jiancheng's imprisoned in Yulan Mountain this time has dealt a huge blow to his prestige, and many people have already secretly leaned towards the Qin Palace.

"Yuzhi, you are really..." Li Shimin watched Gao Chong grooming there, and sighed sincerely: "I have paid so much for me, Li Shimin will never let you down."

Gao Chong was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Second Young Master's words seem outlandish, we have been friends for many years."

Du Ruhui watched silently from the side, Gao Chong was his benefactor, without Gao Chong's recommendation, he would still be idle at home, and now everyone is on the same boat, all will be prosperous and all will be damaged.

"Your Majesty, it is time to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. His Royal Highness was deceived by others and was confused for a while. Naturally, someone needs to take responsibility for such a wrong thing."

Du Ruhui immediately suggested that he was not as close as Gao Chong and Li Shimin, so he didn't dare to call him the second son.

After Gao Chong simply cleaned up, he nodded in agreement when he heard this, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "His Royal Highness has always been gentle and courteous, and if he made a big mistake this time, someone must be bewitched. With people like Wei Ting, there is at least one responsibility for negligence.”

Li Shimin laughed immediately when he heard the words, "These three people... are not ordinary, you are going to catch all his capable people in one go."

Gao Chong leaned on the desk and said with a smile: "These three are all great talents, but it's a pity that they don't have the same heart now."

Li Shimin nodded silently.

After Gao Chong returned to the mansion, he immediately entered into the life of raising children. The older one was a son, and the younger one was a younger brother, which was rather interesting.

Li Shimin's actions came very swiftly, at the court meeting two days later, there was a royal censor impeaching Wang Gui, Wei Ting and Wei Zheng.

Li Yuan's face was gloomy. After all, this matter was revealed, but Yu Shi's impeachment was reasonable.

As an official of the East Palace, the crown prince should be held accountable for his mistakes. Even His Highness the crown prince is imprisoned in Yulan Mountain, and he is still feeding mosquitoes in the corner of the mountain.

In a rage, Li Yuan agreed in court to relegate these three people to Bashu.

Prince Zuowei led Wei Ting, Prince Zhongsheren Wang Gui, and Prince Xianma Wei Zheng. These three were the backbone of the princeling party. Now they are all demoted. This is an extraordinary blow to the East Palace.

In addition, Sun Fujia, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, wrote: Yin Ashu beat Gao Chong, the Duke of Bohai County, and Du Ruhui, a doctor in the Qin Palace, in the street. The circumstances are serious, and the crime should be punished with death. Your Majesty, please review.

Li Yuan's face suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he remained silent without saying a word.

This Sun Fujia was really upright, knowing that Yin Ashu was the father of Concubine Yin De, he was sentenced to death.

Seeing this, Pei Ji coughed, and said slowly: "I advocate prudent punishment, isn't the death penalty too harsh?"

"Assaulting officials by the people, and conspiracy to commit treason, how can we be cautious in punishment?" Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If these things can be dealt with lightly, then what is the majesty of the court, what is the majesty of officials, and how can we rule the people?" .

Xiao Yu has always spoken harshly, Pei Ji was suddenly annoyed.
