I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 393: Royal Palace, father and son cutting wheat

"explain."

Li Shimin looked at Chen Shubao and said.

"Yesterday, I received news from the Royal Ancestral Temple from the Ministry of Rites. The title of King Wei was deposed and demoted to common people. The fiefdom of King Wei was removed. The three sons of King Wei also all took away their royal status and were demoted to common people. Now King Wei also He was imprisoned in the royal ancestral temple.”

"Dare to ask the Emperor."

"I wonder what kind of serious crime His Royal Highness the King of Wei has committed? Why should he be punished so severely?"

"The old minister inquired about the royal family's ancestral temple. It is related to the punishment of the King of Wei. There is only an imperial edict and no reason."

"We, the Tang Dynasty, govern the country according to the law. Crimes are clearly proven and punished according to the law. The country is governed according to the law."

"Please let me know, Your Majesty."

Chen Shubao started with a serious look on his face.

As the Minister of Rites, he is naturally very clear about these matters. After all, the Ministry of Rites has a deep relationship with the royal ancestral temple. They are not considered superiors and subordinates, but they are still related. All matters related to the royal family must be reported to the Ministry of Rites.

"Fourth."

"Committed an unpardonable sin."

"This crime is unspeakable."

"This punishment is appropriate for this crime."

"The Ministry of Rites does not need to ask any more questions." Li Shimin glanced at Chen Shubao and said in a majestic tone.

Chen Shubao was not given a chance to ask again.

When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard about this, except for a very small number of lovers, everyone else looked shocked.

"The king of Wei was deposed, and all the fiefdoms were directly abolished."

"What crime was committed? It's such a severe punishment."

"The King of Wei is a prince, and he is also his legitimate son. If he had not committed a truly unforgivable crime that offended the power of Heaven, I am afraid that the emperor would not have punished him so severely."

"A large number of bad people returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday. The defense was extremely tight. It looked like they were escorting the King of Wei."

"and."

"Yesterday, the minister issued an edict. The culprit who poisoned the prince has been found and is now imprisoned in the Yulin Army Prison."

"Is it possible that the culprit who poisoned the prince was not only the culprit, but also related to King Wei?"

"No, you must not make any assumptions. King Wei was dethroned for committing a serious crime, but the emperor did not intend to make it public. There must be a connection. If anyone talks too much, it is a bad thing."

"The Emperor has made it clear that he will suppress this matter..."

After hearing what Li Shimin said.

All the officials in the court were thinking secretly, but many people immediately thought of the connection. Although they guessed something in their hearts, they absolutely did not dare to say anything.

If it is true as they speculated, then this is the royal family being tarnished. Anyone who dares to speak will definitely not end well.

"No wonder all the generals of Jinyang Army were directly recalled. It turned out that the emperor deliberately took away the military power of King Wei."

As Minister of War, Li Jing also immediately thought of something.

Now in the Ministry of War Station, many generals of the Jinyang Army have been back for many days, but they have not been resettled, they are completely left alone.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"Regarding coal sales, the purchase regulations based on household registration have been drawn up by the veteran."

"Your Majesty, please read it."

Chen Jing stood up, holding the memorial in his hand.

Wang De immediately stepped forward, picked up the memorial and presented it to him.

Li Shimin opened it and nodded with satisfaction: "Just follow this quota. You can only buy imperial coal with your household registration. Each household has a quota. Those who exceed it are not allowed to sell."

"Changsun Wuji."

"Zhang Gongjin."

Li Shimin shouted.

"I'm here." Sun Wuji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Zhang Gongjin, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up immediately.

"Issue an order, and local officials will supervise it. If anyone dares to exceed it, he will be severely punished."

"The Ministry of Punishment is also involved."

"This is Datang's strategy to change the sale of coal. It is the first time. I will not allow any mistakes to be made."

"Also, Li Jing."

"I ordered the military camps in various places to prepare for war. If there are any ruffians or those motivated by profit who dare to think about coal mining, I will send troops directly to suppress them." Li Shimin said coldly. "I accept the decree."

The three ministers responded in unison.

This was a big change proposed by his own emperor, and Li Shimin also paid special attention to it.

Naturally there is no room for error.

The meeting continued.

All the officials who had memorials came forward one after another, and time gradually passed.

In this huge Tang Empire, everything that could be brought to the court were major events, and there were really many major events in the world.

In particular, the power of life and death lies with the emperor. As long as it involves human life, such as executions, these need to be decided by Li Shimin himself.

The meeting dispersed.

Li Zheng followed his usual practice and arrived at the Tai Chi Hall for Political Affairs on time.

Now they are all familiar with each other, and there is no need for Li Shimin to send someone to call him. The court meeting has dispersed, and every day, Li Zheng has to come to the Yizheng Hall to review the memorial. After the disposal is completed, he can have a heart-to-heart talk with his father before returning to his home. went.

"Father, why are you standing at the door waiting for me today?"

"It's rare."

Looking at Li Shimin standing at the door of the Council Hall, Li Zheng smiled teasingly.

"Come, accompany me to the backyard."

Li Shimin had already changed into his regular clothes, walked slowly outside the hall, and called Li Zheng.

"Where are you always going to take me?" Li Zheng asked with a smile and followed immediately.

Not a moment.

The backyard of the palace.

In an open yard, there are one or two acres of land, which is full of yellow wheat ears and can be harvested at any time.

"Li Zheng."

"See, these are all your father's masterpieces."

Li Shimin pointed at the two acres of mature wheat ears and smiled proudly.

"Father, what's the point of growing grain here?" Li Zheng asked in confusion.

"The reason why your father planted these wheat is because he hopes that God will bless him, no natural disasters, no harm, and everyone in the world will have a good harvest." Li Shimin said with emotion as he looked at the golden ears of wheat in front of him.

"Father, don't worry."

"It's definitely going to be a good year."

"The Turks have also been destroyed, Xue Yantuo surrendered, Zhenla and Nanzhao belong to our Tang Dynasty, the world is peaceful and no one is in harm's way." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Stinky boy."

"bring it on."

"Go to the fields with me to harvest the wheat."

"Let you see how your father is farming."

Li Shimin rolled up his sleeves and raised his hands.

Wang De directly sent two sickles.

"Father, do you think that all these years of service among the people have been in vain?"

"When I was in Jinyang Mansion, during the autumn harvest season, I went to the fields and farmed every year."

"You can't compare to me."

"I won't let you, Father, in this regard."

Li Zheng smiled, picked up the sickle, and began to harvest the wheat ears in the two acres of land.

"You kid."

Li Shimin laughed and cursed, but his eyes were filled with relief for Li Zheng.

Li Zheng came from the folk, and he had a folk atmosphere that was difficult for the royal family to get. He also saw all kinds of folk things with his own eyes. This was something that no matter how good the teacher in the palace was, he couldn't get it.

So, the father and son were harvesting on their own.

in the sun.

The hunched figures of father and son made everyone around see them with admiration.
