Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 70 Self-defeating, Li Er is angry

(82 recommendation votes yesterday, the second is more stable, thanks for the recommendation.!)
"Wang Aiqing, what do you want to report?"

Li Shimin looked at the censor who came out and asked.

"My minister wants to join His Majesty's fifth son, Li You, as the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, on the premise of making a profit of [-] guan, he is actually indifferent to the disasters suffered by the people of the Tang Dynasty, even though Li You no longer has the throne.

But he is still a member of the royal family. If a royal family can be so indifferent, it means that he has given up his status as a member of the royal family.

Therefore, Weichen believes that for such a person, all his money should be confiscated directly, and the royal family should be excluded, and corresponding punishment should be given.

If this is not the case, then in the future when things happen again in the Tang Dynasty, who will come out to donate? At that time, everyone will say that if the Li family, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, does not donate, why should we small people donate? "

Li Shimin looked at Wang Yushi and frowned slightly, and then listened to Li Shimin: "Where is Tang Jian?"

"Your Majesty!" An official from the household department came out and said, "Today, the officials at the ministerial level of the household department are not in Chang'an for the time being, and they all went to the disaster area to ensure the safe delivery and arrival of materials, so they will arrive later. !"

"So it's like this, then bring Li You to the main hall." Li Shimin thought about recruiting Li You to the main hall again.

But at this time, the Wang Yushi said slightly: "Your Majesty, Li You has disappeared and is no longer in Chang'an."

"What. Li You is not in Chang'an anymore." Li Shimin was surprised, and a little anger rose in his heart. Of course, this anger was not because of Wang Yushi's words just now. At this time, Li Shimin was angry because Li You disappeared unexpectedly. What's the situation?
"It is true that Li You is no longer in Chang'an. According to Weichen's thinking, he should have fled, so please make an order to arrest Li You as soon as possible."

"The minister waits for a second opinion!"

Li Shimin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that after Wang Yushi finished speaking, there would be a large number of officials seconding it. It seemed that Li You had committed public outrage.

"I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate!"

Suddenly standing at the corner, a person uttered some words to help Li You slightly. Everyone followed the voice and saw Ma Zhou coming out from the inside and said: "If it is according to what Wang Yushi said, if someone gets it If you don't donate your money, your majesty will not arrest you.

Just ask, who will dare to make money in the future? "

"Doctor Ma, I don't know if you have heard what I mean clearly. Li You is not an ordinary citizen, he is the royal family of the Li family of the Tang Dynasty.!" Wang Yushi looked at Ma Zhou, his eyes were slightly angry.

Ma Zhou is now an admonishing doctor. However, many officials in the court are not very convinced. The reason is that Ma Zhou is from a poor family. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the boundaries between famous and poor families were still very clear.

Li Shimin's promotion of a poor family is tantamount to touching the cheese of a famous family, but a famous family can't beat Li Shimin, so he can only despise those officials from a poor family.

Wang Yushi is a member of the royal family with five surnames and seven Wangs, and he is a bit unkind to Ma Zhou.

"However, His Majesty has made a decree to demote Li You to a commoner. Are you questioning His Majesty's decree again?" Although Ma Zhou is from a poor family, he doesn't have much respect for these famous families, so his words are also very blunt, and he jumps directly. It's Li Shimin's body.

"Ma Zhou. Don't talk about other things. I didn't question your Majesty's intentions. You know, Li You's goods have made more than [-] yuan in profit. At this time, the Tang Dynasty is in crisis. Even the beggars in Chang'an There are people who donate a letter.

However, the former fifth son of the Great Tang Dynasty is actually so penniless, what an irony. Isn't this enough punishment? "

"The money is earned by Li You himself. He has already paid the tax according to the tax rate. Then how to dispose of the money is Li You's right. Whether you donate it or not, it has nothing to do with you. Making money is made by others. Why should you punish others? Again, there is no law in Datang that states that if you earn more than [-] guan, you must donate money, and if you don’t donate, you will be punished.

You can punish if you want, but you have to come up with the law. Datang ruled the country according to the law, not whatever you want! "

"There are human feelings beyond the law. Li You's behavior is trampling on the human feelings of the Tang Dynasty. How can a compatriot die so indifferently? If you don't have money, it's okay, but you have more than a hundred thousand coins but don't take away a cent. Really. What is tolerable and unbearable!"

Wang Yushi looked at Ma Zhou viciously and said: "Doctor Ma, don't forget that you are also a member of the common people. Although you are a high-ranking official now, don't become an answering person who can only answer!"

"Enough!" Li Shimin shouted.

Ma Zhou and Wang Yushi hurriedly bowed and followed Li Shimin who was on the side, and said slightly: "Which is right and which is wrong, it cannot be explained by one-sided words. I ordered Li You to return to Chang'an, and we will talk about it after Li You returns to Chang'an!"

In the end, Li Shimin didn't think that Li You's failure to donate money was something outrageous, just like what Ma Zhou said, the money was earned by others, so it didn't matter whether he donated or not.

These famous families suddenly began to bite Li You at this time. In Li Shimin's view, this was not biting Li You, but biting himself, so after thinking about it for a while, Li Shimin decided to procrastinate, and it was not a big deal. After finding Li You, I wanted to hear why Li You did this, and deal with it later.

It's just that when Li Shimin was a little annoyed, he had already said that he would wait until Li You returned to Chang'an, but at this moment, the officials in the palace seemed to have eaten gunpowder. Just after Li Shimin finished speaking, another official stood up and bowed. He said: "Your Majesty, this matter can no longer be delayed, Li You's behavior has completely angered the people of Chang'an.

Now the people in Chang'an are furious, and they all hope that His Majesty can punish Li You severely. If His Majesty wants to protect Li You at this time, then the people will be most disappointed with His Majesty. "

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to arrest Li You immediately!"

Li Shimin opened his eyes, and at this moment the hall fell to his knees, which made Li Shimin's eyes sharper.

"Are you forcing me...?" Li Shimin's voice was already cold.

It's just that the officials at this time saw that there were people in front of and behind them. Although they were a little afraid of Li Shimin's coldness, the officials at this time knew that the law does not blame the public, so they didn't speak, but shouted together again: "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately!" Capture Li You!"

The scene was once very embarrassing, and Li Shimin's expression became more and more ugly at this time.

Originally, Li Shimin wanted to arrest Li You and ask him why you earned so much money but didn't give up a cent, but now that he was forced, Li Shimin stood by Li You's side.

I feel that these people and officials are deliberately finding fault with themselves. His son has made money, and it is his freedom to donate or not. These people have caught a small trick and threatened themselves with chicken feathers. of.
