In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 101 Not Accepting Threats

Li Ke said with a chuckle: "Cui Zheng'an, whether the emperor will come to the court or not? It's not up to you, a small fifth-rank official, to decide. If you have something to say, step down for me if you have nothing to do."

After hearing this, all officials surnamed Cui were angry.

Cui Zheng'an gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, since His Majesty will not come to court, please give us an explanation!"

Li Ke was speechless: "Cui Zheng'an, be careful what you say, what can I say to you? I owe you money?"

Cui Zhengan said angrily: "Your Majesty, don't pretend to be crazy here. Did you forget what happened just yesterday?
You killed our grandson of Cui's parents in the street, shouldn't you give us an explanation? "

"Oh?"

Li Ke said with a dazed look: "You're talking about Cui Hao, right? Tell me, what do I need to tell you?"

Cui Zheng'an said: "That is the grandson of my Cui family, the future heir of the patriarch. You killed him now, shouldn't you give my Cui family an explanation?"

Li Ke's face turned cold, and he said: "Okay, then I will give you an explanation now. Cui Hao raped women, tortured and killed people, the evidence is convincing. Bring it..."

Li Ke stretched out his hand, and Li Yi handed over Cui Hao's confession.

Li Ke took it and slapped it on the table.

"Look, this is his confession. He has committed many crimes and is full of crimes. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, he deserves to die.

As the agent of His Majesty, is it wrong to kill him?Cui Zhengan, tell me, what do I need to explain to you? "

The two confronted each other in the hall.The ministers were not surprised at all.

Cui Zheng'an said: "Your Majesty, that is my grandson of Cui's parents. Can you kill him if you say so?"

Li Ke narrowed his eyes, stood up, glared at Cui Zhengan, and said, "Cui Zhengan, are you questioning me? Questioning my ability and power as acting His Majesty?"

Cui Zhengan raised his head, and was startled by Li Ke's gaze.

Hastily said: "I dare not. But you slaughtered my Cui family's grandson, you must give our Cui family an explanation.

Just because you are acting as His Majesty, you cannot act recklessly and kill nobles indiscriminately. "

"Damn."

Li Ke took the case and said: "Cui Hao is not wrong to be a nobleman, but the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. My Tang Dynasty has laws.

He broke the law, why can't I kill him?Why did I act recklessly and kill nobles indiscriminately?You tell me clearly. "

Cui Zheng'an was not afraid, and said: "It is not wrong for him to break the law. I will not deny this. However, even if he broke the law, you should hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for handling. You have to report it. , just kill him."

Li Ke didn't back down at all, and said: "As the acting majesty, I have the power to exercise your majesty. He violated the law, and repeatedly contradicted and threatened me. It is only natural for me to kill him. What do I need to explain to you?"

Cui Zhengan was so angry that his head hurt.

He knew that Li Ke was reasonable about this matter, and he said that he couldn't justify it.

But, that being said.They ruled the world with the emperor, and he believed that their nobles should have privileges.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, please allow me to resign and go home to retire."

When Cui Zhengan uttered these words, it was already his trump card.

Next, those officials of the Cui family who united stood up and resigned together.

At this moment, let alone Li Ke, even if Li Shimin is here, he can only obey obediently.

Yes, they are aristocrats, privileged, and don't reason with you at all.

Laws and principles are used to restrain those low-level commoners, not to restrain nobles like them at all.

What a joke, if the law is used to restrain them, then why are they helping the emperor conquer the world?
They have their reasons, which are a set of reasons that modern people cannot understand.

However, Li Ke didn't wait for other officials to stand up and resign, and directly shouted angrily: "Okay, I'm alone. Wei Zheng, check this Cui Zhengan for me, and see if he has a record of taking bribes and breaking the law.

Once there is, how to deal with it, no tolerance.If not, just let him go home.

However, during the investigation period, Cui Zhengan was sent to prison first, waiting for the results of the investigation, and no one was allowed to visit.

Also, this is not just for Cui Zhengan.In the future, except for the officials who have returned to their hometowns, other officials who voluntarily resigned must check whether they have a record of corruption and breaking the law before they can be released.

I will give you Yushitai a power. When your Yushitai is investigating these officials, you will see the officials at the top level, and no one is allowed to stop them for any reason.Fang Xuanling, help me draw up the purpose.Announce the world. "

"what?"

Cui Zhengan was stunned.

Those Cui family officials who just wanted to stand up and resign were also stunned.

This.

Get investigated after resigning?What are you kidding?
Which of them has a clean butt?

Besides, if you are investigated under such circumstances, if there is no shit, you may be able to find some shit for you.

Isn't this fatal?

Yes, they stopped and dared not go forward.

Fang Xuanling stood up and said, "Yes, acting Your Majesty, I will draw up an order for you."

Cui Zhengan was stunned and stood there, not knowing what to do.

Li Ke said: "Come here! Put Cui Zheng'an in Yushitai Prison and wait for the review. No one is allowed to visit during the review."

Yushitai is also a yamen, and each yamen has its own cell.

Li San and Li Si immediately led people into the lobby, controlling Cui Zhengan from left to right.

"Ah? Let me go, I will not resign. Acting Majesty, I will not resign."

Cui Zhengan hastily called out loudly.

There is no way, he has a guilty conscience!

If he was an upright official like Wei Zheng, he would definitely not be afraid.

But no, he is really guilty!
If these Cui family officials were all like Wei Zheng, they would definitely resign collectively at this time.

It's a pity that they don't have the confidence.

Ever since, it was embarrassing.

At the scene, only Cui Zheng'an stood up and stood up, and everyone else retreated.

Li Ke said angrily: "Bastard, Cui Zheng'an, do you think that the official of my Tang Dynasty is something you can do if you want, and you don't want to do it if you don't want to?
Wei Zheng, let someone take him there first, hand over his work, and send his account book to me. I want to check his account.

Cui Zheng'an, don't worry, as long as you are a good official and don't do anything harmful, I will release you.I will definitely not suppress you because of today's events.

However, if you are a corrupt person, then don't blame me, Li Ke, for being ruthless. "

Cui Zheng'an quickly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I know I was wrong, and I will not resign. Please give me another chance, Your Majesty!"

Li Ke shook his head and said: "Impossible, although I am acting as His Majesty, I don't accept threats."
