The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 212 The Confrontation at the Golden Temple

After Li Tai entered the Golden Luan Hall, he ran straight to Wang Yushi, who was kneeling on the ground, without even showing Li Shimin a salute.

When he arrived in front of Wang Yushi, he was punched and kicked immediately.At the same time, he kept cursing in his mouth: "It's just you who want to kill my lord, see if I won't beat you to death today, lord."

"Li Tai, this is the Palace of the Golden Luan. How can you be presumptuous? Stop it now." Li Shimin said angrily.

The more Li Tai talked, the more angry he became and the more vigorously he fought. If Li Shimin hadn't spoken out to stop him, Li Tai would probably beat the king Yushi to death in the Golden Palace.

"Father, you don't know how bitter this son is. Less than ten of the Thousand Thunder Dragons survived. In order to protect my son, almost all the young and middle-aged people died in battle. Even my son himself escaped death." Li Tai said to Li Shimin in tears.

"I already know that you have indeed suffered a lot these days. But this is the Golden Luan Palace after all, how can you be so indifferent." Li Shimin said to Li Tai with a reproachful face.

"Father, with Wang Yushi alone, how dare he do anything to my son. This time, my son has found out that the mastermind behind the scenes is Wang Wei, the Patriarch of the Wang family." Li Tai saluted Li Shimin.

"Don't talk nonsense, I really want to kill you. You humiliated me again and again in the Golden Temple. As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated, so I want to take your life." Wang Yushi, who was beaten all over his body, said to Li Tai said angrily.

"The matter has come to this, and you still want to protect your Wang family. Wang Wei and Wang Qianhan have been arrested and brought to justice. Now they are detained outside the palace and wait for the father to deal with them personally." Li Tai said to Wang Yushi angrily.

Afterwards, Li Tai told Li Shimin the whole story of his trip to Bingzhou.Especially the matter of the Wang family arbitrarily raising [-] iron armored troops, and leading the troops to prepare to burn himself to death in the VIP building.

After hearing what Li Tai said, Li Shimin was furious on the spot.He ordered Wang Wei and Wang Qianhan to be escorted to the Golden Temple.

"Your Taiyuan Wang family is really daring. Not only did you raise the Iron Armored Army without permission, you even planned to burn my son to death. It seems that your Wang family is preparing to rebel." Li Shimin said angrily looking at Wang Wei.

"Your Majesty, my royal family is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so how can I do something rebellious. What King Wei said, the Iron Armored Army raised by my royal family are just people who have been favored by the royal family and are willing to protect the royal family from generation to generation." Wang Qianhan spoke to Li Shimin.

"As for burning King Wei to death in the VIP building, that was even more out of thin air. At that time, King Wei used a pseudonym Huang Qingque and used despicable means to rob the VIP building. This caused a misunderstanding between the two parties."

"Later, King Wei revealed our identities, and we naturally gave up our resistance. Otherwise, how could we be easily brought to Chang'an City by King Wei?" Wang Wei said to Li Shimin.

"Then Wang Qianqiu is planning to besiege and kill King Wei in Jizhou, do you know about it?" Li Shimin asked Wang Wei.

"We only learned about this matter from King Wei after we surrendered to King Wei. It must be because of this that King Wei angered my royal family. But this time it is indeed the responsibility of my royal family. The King of Wei is in charge." Wang Wei said with a sigh.

Sure enough, as Li Tai had expected, the two uncles and nephews of the Wang family refused to admit it to death in the Golden Luan Hall.Push all the blame on Wang Qianqiu.

However, Wang Qianqiu was willing to bear all these charges in order to preserve the Wang family.But how could Li Tai let them succeed?

"Father, they are talking so cunningly and sophistry, please pay attention to father." Li Tai pretended to be nervous and said to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, when my Taiyuan royal family was in the Taishang Imperial Cavalry, I supported it with all my family resources. How can I have a rebellious heart now?" Wang Qianhan said to Li Shimin.

"Although your royal family funded your father's army back then. However, merit is merit and demerit. If what King Wei said is true, even if your royal family had meritorious service in the past, I will never let it go." Li Shimin said angrily. Said.

At this moment, the representatives of the five surnames and seven sects in the court also spoke out to protect the royal family.Said that there must be some misunderstanding.

In fact, why didn't Li Shimin know that this is where the five surnames and seven sects have always had a tacit understanding.No matter which one made a mistake, as long as the evidence is not conclusive, several other companies will come forward to excuse it.

In the end, the emperor could only find one or two scapegoats, and finally let the matter go.

"I will hand over this matter to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation, but Yushi Wang Qianhan, Jizhou governor Wang Kun, and Jizhou governor Wang Bo have convincing evidence to besiege and kill King Wei, and ordered him to be executed." Li Shimin said.

Li Tai had thought of such a result a long time ago, after all, the Wang family in Taiyuan was deeply rooted.It doesn't mean that you can move at will.

Coupled with the intricate relationship between the five surnames and the seven sects, Li Shimin dared not touch the Taiyuan royal family easily.

"Father, the Taiyuan royal family has ambitions. This matter must not be left alone." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin didn't want to vent his anger for his son, but from the perspective of the country, Li Shimin was helpless.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Li Tai was demoted to the county king because of being framed by others. Now that the matter has been found out, Li Tai will become the prince again and regain control of the imperial army of the king of Wei." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

At this time, Xu Maogong came out and said to Li Shimin: "The emperor has clear rewards and punishments, and he is really a generation of Mingjun."

The purpose of Xu Maogong's coming forward is to give Li Shimin and Li Tai a step forward.Let them take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, otherwise it is not a good thing to continue in this stalemate.

If you want to move the Wang family in Taiyuan, the first thing to do is to take away all the forces in the hands of the Wang family.Otherwise, as soon as the crimes of the Wang family are about to be punished here, the Wang family will rise up over there.

"I thank my father, Huang Zhaoxue, for your kindness. It's just that I have done a few wrong things. I don't know if I can make up for it in time." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a guilty expression on his face.

"Could it be that you caused me some trouble outside again?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"My son made the decision without authorization and controlled all the military and political chiefs of Jizhou, Bingzhou, Xingzhou, Xiangzhou and Luzhou, the land of the five states."

"Now, my son has let Qin Qiong, the protector of the country, lead Zuo Wuwei to take over the important military and political affairs of the five states." Li Tai said to Li Shimin pretending to be a big mess.

But when this word is heard in the ears of other people, it is of great significance.They didn't expect that Li Tai would wipe out all the power of the Wang family in one fell swoop.

"Nonsense. How dare you deal with military officials of the state government without authorization." Li Shimin said to Li Tai pretending to be very angry.

"My son did not make the decision without authorization, but my father gave me this right. And my son has already verified that they are all related to this case." Li Tai took out the mace bestowed by Li Shimin, and said to Li Shimin.

"Okay, even if I give you a mace and let you have this right. Then where do you start with the verification in your mouth?" Li Shimin asked.
