God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 382 Li Shimin's Consideration (Part [-])
Li Chengqian suspected that what happened yesterday had something to do with Li Shangshu, Li Xiaochang's face changed, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty! I am wronged! I don't know what happened yesterday! It has nothing to do with me."

At the same time, the people who were originally close to Li Xiaochang subconsciously avoided him.

Li Shimin didn't want to listen to him, because he was still a little angry at this moment.

He asked Li Chengqian: "Tell me why Li Xiaochang has something to do with him, and he is also involved?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, because everyone thought so too.

Li Xiaochang vehemently denied it.

He felt like a lump in his throat, and his whole body was very uncomfortable.

Li Chengqian enjoyed his performance very much. The more he behaved like this, the more comfortable Li Chengqian felt.

Then he said slowly: "Your Majesty! Yesterday I saw that the weapon Liu Deyu was carrying in the army was the Tang knife! But as far as I know, the Tang knife has not been equipped to the army in the imperial city yet. Among them, it is only owned by frontier soldiers.

Obviously, Liu Deyu led more than 300 people yesterday, each with a Tang knife.

So very unreasonable.

The ordnance is managed by Li Xiaochang, so this matter must have an inseparable relationship with Li Xiaochang.Even if there is no direct relationship, why did Tang Dao end up in the hands of the soldiers?
Li Xiaochang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, has committed serious dereliction of duty! "

Li Chengqian grasped two important points, one is that the matter has something to do with Li Xiaochang, and the other is why the Tang Dao leaked out, and it has a lot to do with Li Xiaochang's responsibilities. If the two things come together, then Li Xiaochang may not be able to escape this time!
Every Tang knife is a very terrifying existence. Even if it is equipped, it will not be used to equip the troops to maintain law and order. If it is only to arrest the people, then it is really useless!

Li Xiaochang has an unshirkable responsibility for owning Tang Dao.

Because he has no direct evidence to prove that Li Xiaochang and Liu Deyu have a collusion relationship.

But what he said, if Li Xiaochang himself admitted it, it would save a lot of trouble.

As soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, Li Xiaochang's whole body became hot, and at the same time, his face turned red.

His Minister of the Ministry of War is also hard-won.Whatever you say, you have to grasp it well.

But it's impossible to be suspended for probation after only a few days as an official!

Obviously, it is not a good thing for his interest group.

So Li Xiaochang simply said: "This point, I have indeed neglected my duty, please give me some time, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out who did it!"

It was obvious that he wanted to push the matter away in order to protect himself.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengqian said: "Li Xiaochang, it's too late to say anything now, even if you find out who did it, then as the chief commander of the Ministry of War, you have an inescapable responsibility!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengqian turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I request that Li Xiaochang be suspended from the post of Shangshu first, so that he can conduct an internal investigation before resuming his duties."

Li Chengqian did the same thing, using what he did with Changsun Wuji to directly deal with Li Xiaochang, but Li Xiaochang is an old fox, how could he be restrained just like that?

No matter what you say, you have to do the final struggle.

So he said: "Your Majesty! I know who did it."

"You know who did it, why didn't you say it first? This crime of favoritism is not small!"

Li Chengqian pressed every step of the way, making Li Xiaochang a little depressed.

"Your Majesty, I have an unspeakable secret! Yesterday, Liu Deyu borrowed three hundred Tang knives from my minister, saying that His Majesty wanted it, and I dared not refuse, so I borrowed it from him. I was also forced to do so, and please be aware of it. !"

Seeing that Li Shimin was unmoved, Li Xiao said:
"All of this is Liu Deyu's intention, and has nothing to do with the minister!"

Li Xiaochang completely shirked all responsibility, but now that Liu Deyu is not present, he can't explain it clearly.

But for Li Shimin, he has his own considerations.

Li Shimin said: "You have disappointed me so much! You will all be punished, but now is the time when I employ people in the Tang Dynasty. Li Xiaochang! So I will punish you and suspend your salary for half a year! You must rectify yourself The Ministry of War, don’t make any more mistakes! As for Liu Deyu, although he has already been punished, I will punish him with half a year’s salary and demote him by two ranks! As a punishment!”

In this way, it can be said that both of them have been punished, but this is not enough, but it is also the highest possible punishment at present.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Xiaochang immediately said so, while Li Chengqian smiled.

What Li Shimin wanted to do, he knew very well, as long as it wasn't something that endangered the country, it didn't matter.

This is the scope of Li Shimin's considerations, because there are fewer and fewer people who can be used around Li Shimin, if there is one less Li Xiaochang, then there will be fewer people in the Ministry of War, and it is difficult to recruit a minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Xiaochang was suspended again, it might be difficult for Datang, a huge machine, to operate.

But punishment is necessary, so Li Xiaochang was fined half a year's salary as a warning, and that's all.

In this way, everyone would no longer mention what happened yesterday, for fear of being targeted by Li Chengqian.

Once being targeted by Li Chengqian, no one will have a good time.

At this moment, Empress Changsun noticed another point.

She said: "Why did Liu Deyu lead troops to Datang Academy? Why did he stop Gao Ming from recruiting students? This matter is of great importance, we must find out!"

But Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, in fact, my ministers have already found out that all these are inseparable from each other."

Why are the five great families involved again?Everyone is very puzzled.

Amidst everyone's doubts, Li Chengqian simply said first: "I'm afraid Liu Deyu is also being used by others, and the black hand behind this is one of the five great masters, or all of them are involved!"

He was very sure of what he said, but people from the five major families felt that he was a bit absolute, and they all stood up to oppose it.

Why do you want to involve five people?
Then what Li Chengqian has to do next is something that will have a huge change for Datang.

So he changed the subject and said: "Because I want to reform education, the five major families will definitely oppose it, because it will break their roots. However, the education of Erchen has not been easy to promote. Apart from the five major families, there are The root of all this lies in the household registration, because the household registration is not easy to promote! Therefore, when the household registration is improved, the power of the five major families will also be weakened, and a large number of people will be released. These people can change their future through reading. "

After all, he wants to reform household registration.

Everyone was in an uproar. After all, the reform of household registration is not a trivial matter, and we don't wait for everyone to oppose it.

Sun Qian also stood up, after all, what he said was unfounded.

It still needs Sun Qian to come out together.
