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

Chapter 309 A group of senior officials knelt on the ground

Yes, Li Ke never dreamed that the people who finally helped him regain his position as minister would be these corrupt officials.

The second Tianchao meeting was the first major meeting of Li Shimin's return.

It's a pity that there was no Changsun Wuji, no Li Chengqian, and no Li Ke at this court meeting.None of Li Shimin's sons came.

For a moment, Li Shimin felt dull.He took Goguryeo and Baekje.

He originally wanted to show off in front of his sons, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this after he came back.

Now, his sons believed in Li Ke more and all went to play with Li Ke.You, father, go and cool off!
Wang De screamed: "If there is something to do, we will start to act; if there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

An official immediately stood up, saluted Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that we in the Tang Dynasty cannot live without Shangshu Ling. I hope your Majesty will recall Shangshu Ling."

Forehead?
Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment.

Many officials were also stunned.

Another official stood up and said: "I second the proposal. When Shangshu Ling was here, our work went much smoother. When we encountered difficulties, we asked Shangshu Ling and he could give us great advice." Idea. Suddenly there is no Shangshu Ling, and I feel very uncomfortable."

I'll go, what's the reason?
The officials were speechless.

But it wasn't over yet. Officials came forward one after another and demanded that the Shangshu Order be reinstated.

Li Shimin was speechless.

Can you explain such a far-fetched reason?
Those who demand the restoration of the Shangshu Order are of course corrupt officials.

Suddenly, more than a dozen officials stood up and demanded that the Shangshu Order be reinstated.

Although their official positions are not big, they are key figures in the six departments.

The most important thing is that there are so many of them!Under normal circumstances, if more than a dozen officials came out to support one thing at the same time, even Li Shimin had to take it seriously.

With these dozen guys taking the lead, those who originally supported Li Ke and Li Chengqian also quickly stood up and agreed.

This time, there are many more people.Moreover, even Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling came forward.There were more than 60 people kneeling on the ground.

Li Shimin was speechless.

"My dear friends, please settle down first! Li Ke resigned from his position on his own initiative, not by me. Now it is probably a bit difficult to get him back as the minister!"

Wei Zheng said quickly: "Your Majesty, how will you know if you don't try?"

Li Shimin said: "Okay! Then leave this matter to Mr. Wei Zhengwei!"

gah...

Wei Zheng was speechless.

Said: "Your Majesty, I may not be able to handle this matter properly."

It's not possible, it's absolutely impossible.

A corrupt official stood up and said, "Master Wei, I will go with you. Let's go and beg him to come back."

Wei Zheng: "..."

Another corrupt official stood up and said, "Master Wei, I will go too and ask for worship. Count me in."

Wei Zheng: "..."

Immediately afterwards, officials one by one stood up and said that they wanted to go with Wei Zheng.Suddenly, dozens of officials entered the station and came out, including Minister of Education Kong Yingda.

This left Wei Zheng quite speechless. When did I, Wei Zheng, have such great influence?

Li Shimin was happy instead. He was having a headache there and didn't know how to invite Li Ke back when these guys came forward.

He invited Li Ke back because he had something very important to do.

That's right, it's the bank.

The bank hasn't opened yet, so this little bastard has given up.How can that work?
Seeing that the New Year was approaching in a few days, Li Shimin originally wanted him to celebrate the New Year happily.But these people under my command volunteered, so let them give it a try!Now, the wall of Dongshan has been completed.

In other words, if you want to go to Dongshan now, you can only enter through the gate of the wall.

Of course, there are still small doors in other directions.However, the main gate can only be the gate facing Chang'an.

Wei Zheng took dozens of officials to the gate of Dongshan in sedan chairs.

When the officers and soldiers guarding them saw that it was Wei Zheng and the others, they did not stop them and allowed them to enter smoothly.

However, when they arrived at the gate of Li Ke's community, they were stopped outside.

Yes, it is the community.

Li Ke's community is full of big shots, such as Li Yuan, the head of the family, various princes, and Princess Jin Shengman.

Yes, Li Tai and others have mansions here.Normally they wouldn't go back to Chang'an if nothing happened.

Wei Zheng and the others were standing outside the gate, and they were all very confused when they heard the banging gunshots coming from inside.

Yes, they had no idea what the sound was.

An officer and soldier hurried over, came to Li Ke and Li Yuan, and reported: "The Supreme Emperor, His Highness the King of Shu, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and more than 60 officials are outside asking to see His Highness the King of Shu."

Li Yuan and Li Ke glared at him at the same time and said in unison: "Let them go."

After speaking, the two smiled at each other.

Li Yuan smiled proudly, feeling quite proud that he had defeated Li Shimin.

Now, it's your turn to beg me.I have a precious and good grandson, please come and beg me slowly!

Forehead?
The officer and soldier froze there.

Li Ke glared at him and said, "Didn't you hear what my grandpa said? Go out and tell them to get out. By the way, you must tell them, get out."

The officers and soldiers were speechless and could only stumble to the gate.

"I'm sorry, my lords. Our Highness, the King of Shu, told you to get out. I'm sorry! These were his exact words. He must have asked me to say this."

After the guy finished speaking, he felt that his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

It’s really stressful to tell so many big shots to get lost!

Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda were both speechless.They didn't blame the officer or soldier.

The two looked at each other, what should they do?
Behind them, those dozen corrupt officials fell to their knees on the ground.

A corrupt official said: "Go back and tell His Highness the King of Shu. If he doesn't come out to see us, we will kneel here and never get up."

There is no other way. If His Highness the King of Shu doesn't go back, they won't dare to surrender. If they don't surrender, something will happen sooner or later.

If something happens, not only will his own life be in danger, but also the lives of his whole family will probably be in danger.

So, let’s kneel down!There is no shame in kneeling here at all, and I will probably gain a virtuous name.

When the other officials saw it, they had no choice but to kneel down.

There was no way, everyone was on their knees.If they don't kneel down, they will appear to be dishonest.

It would be bad if this fell into the ears of His Highness the King of Shu.

Wei Zheng and Kong Yingda had no choice but to kneel down.

For a moment, a large number of senior officials knelt on the ground outside the gate of the community.

Wei Zheng said: "This young official, please go back and tell His Highness the King of Shu. If he doesn't see us, we won't be able to kneel here anymore."

The officer and soldier was speechless.I could only turn around and run in again to report.
