Li Shimin was slightly startled, then looked at Li Fan thoughtfully and said:

"What the national teacher said is indeed reasonable. But is this approach too harsh?"

Li Fan shook his head slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, extraordinary times should use extraordinary methods."

"If these censors only know how to talk and do not consider the suffering of the people and the safety of the Tang Dynasty, then they should be made to taste the suffering of the people."

In Li Fan's opinion, most of these censors are full of benevolence and morality.

Although some censors still know the suffering of the people, most of them are in their positions and have long been away from the people.

"Okay, okay! Just as the national teacher said!"

Li Shimin left happily.

...

The atmosphere in the majestic palace of the Tang Dynasty was solemn.

Li Shimin sat high on the dragon throne, with a dignified look, and his eyes slowly swept over the ministers below.

Just now, he announced the news that he personally killed Jie Li to the public, which immediately caused an uproar in the court!

The censor Xu Jingzong was the first to step forward. He looked anxious and said with a folded hand:

"Your Majesty, it would be embarrassing to kill Jie Li Khan at this time."

This person was a historian. Although he was not a censor in the strict sense, he still had a great influence.

Li Shimin raised his sword-like eyebrows, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he loudly retorted:

"It's not right to lose face? Do you think it's the face of the people, or the face of you censors?"

Xu Jingzong hurriedly replied: "Of course it's the people. I am always thinking about the people and your majesty."

Li Shimin snorted coldly, staring at Xu Jingzong with a sharp gaze, and asked:

"Where were you when Jie Li raided the south?"

"Where were you when the blood flowed like a river north of the Wei River?"

"Where were you when I signed the Wei River Treaty?"

Xu Jingzong's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he hesitated to reply:

"I am...I am ready to defend Chang'an with your majesty."

Li Shimin laughed in anger, turned his head and looked at Li Junxian on the side, and said:

"Junxian, take out the booklet and tell Lord Xu that he was What are you doing?"

Li Junxian took out the booklet expressionlessly and read aloud:

"On August 25, the first year of Zhenguan, Xu Jingzong and his family were preparing to flee Chang'an."

Li Shimin slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and cursed:

"Xu Jingzong, what else do you have to say?"

Xu Jingzong was panicked and knelt down and kowtowed, shouting injustice:

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, someone must have framed me."

Li Shimin was furious and turned to ask Changsun Wuji:

"Assistant, how should we deal with deceiving the emperor?"

Changsun Wuji looked solemn and bowed his hands and replied:

"He should be executed, including the extermination of three clans."

Xu Jingzong was so scared that his face turned pale and he begged for mercy:

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life."

However, Li Shimin was unmoved and immediately ordered the execution of Xu Jingzong.

No one among the officials pleaded for mercy, and the whole court was filled with discussion.

Although Xu Jingzong was a historian, he often deleted and revised the facts at will according to his likes and dislikes, deliberately catered to others, did not distinguish right from wrong, and even accepted bribes to change the facts.

Li Shimin continued, "I have killed this man, so you should talk about the follow-up treatment."

The Imperial Censor Zhang Liang stood up, his face solemn, and said:

"This move may cause dissatisfaction among the northern tribes and trigger war."

"Your Majesty should be based on benevolence and righteousness, and should not kill easily."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and was about to refute, but saw Duke of Zheng Wei Zheng also stood up.

Li Shimin's heart tightened. He had always been a little afraid of Wei Zheng.

Mainly because Wei Zheng seemed to always have a Pokémon that could restrain him...

But this time, Wei Zheng did not aim at Li Shimin.

He knew in his heart that with Li Shimin's character, he would definitely not kill Jie Li quietly, so it could only be the work of the national teacher.

And what the Imperial Master did, there is no problem!

Wei Zheng looked at Zhang Liang and said slowly:

"Mr. Zhang, you are wrong. Jie Li Khan has been burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil for many years. The people in the north are suffering."

"Thinking back then, when the iron cavalry of Jie Li Khan passed through Shuozhou, the people's homes were destroyed and they were displaced. How many people died under the swords of the Turks, and how many women were abducted and humiliated. Your Majesty killed Jie Li to eliminate harm for the people. What's wrong with that?"

Zhang Liang was slightly startled and felt that Wei Zheng was a little abnormal today. He usually stood on their side to denounce Li Shimin together.

Why did he betray now? ? ?

Zhang Liang immediately cursed angrily: "Wei..."

Who knew that as soon as he said a word, Wei Zheng was holding a Pokémon he didn't recognize in his hand,

Chrysanthemum Leaf

He couldn't get angry immediately,

"Wei... What Mr. Wei said makes sense..."

The officials behind Zhang Liang were shocked! Everyone started talking about this strange scene!

Li Shimin saw thisLi Shimin was secretly very happy! He had never experienced this feeling before!

Then he became arrogant!

"Come on! Anyone else? Stand up! Say whatever you want to say! I'm listening!"

Kong Yingda, a Confucian scholar and the chief priest of the Imperial College, stood up.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Shimin was really too arrogant.

He stroked his beard, looked serious, and said:

"Your Majesty's actions are contrary to the way of the saints."

"The saints take benevolence as the foundation, and harmony should be the most precious. Your Majesty's actions may lose the hearts of the people and make you a tyrant."

Wei Zheng turned his head to look at Kong Yingda and said:

"Mr. Kong, the way of the saints is not immutable."

"Jie Li Khan is cruel and inhumane. If he is not killed, the people will never There will be no peace. "

"Confucius once said that you should repay evil with virtue. Your Majesty killed Jie Li for the sake of the people of the world, so how can you lose the people's hearts?"

Kong Yingda shook his head slightly:

"Wei..."

After a long time, Kong Yingda couldn't say the rest of the words,

And when Wei Zheng approached Kong Yingda with Chrysanthemum Leaf,

Chrysanthemum Leaf

"Wei... What Lord Wei said makes sense..."

Wei Zheng was so happy to hear this!

In the past, such issues could not be discussed endlessly. After all, everyone had their own reasons, and you could always find a point to refute the other party, and the argument would never end.

But now it's different! He has Chrysanthemum Leaf to influence the other party's emotions!

Then shut up! You can only listen to what he says, and there is no way to refute!

Li Shimin stood up suddenly with pleasure! Then he provoked the many censors below!

Feng Deyi, the Shangshu You Pushe, also stood up. He bowed slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, stability should be the priority."

"Your Majesty's behavior has broken the existing balance and caused unnecessary turmoil."

Wei Zheng sneered and said:

"When Jie Li Khan was alive, when was there ever any real stability in the north of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Look at these years, the Turks have repeatedly invaded the border, and the people have no peace."

"And we have Pokémon! Your Majesty killed Jie Li just to break the old balance and establish a new order!!"

Li Shimin waved his hands and said excitedly: "Good! Well said!"

Seeing the look of being humiliated below, Li Shimin was very happy. Is this how he usually looks when facing Wei Zheng!

Feng Deyi looked at Li Shimin's arrogant look and frowned,

"Your Majesty..."

The sentence was still not finished!

Wei Zheng was already close to him! Feng Deyi immediately gave in!

How could everyone not know who was behind this? They all looked at the light green Pokémon in Wei Zheng's arms with vigilance.

No one dared to stand up!

As soon as the unbelieving one stood up, Wei Zheng immediately approached him!

The man immediately retreated again!

In this way, Wei Zheng ran around with the chrysanthemum leaves in his arms and chased the censors in the court!

"Sir Wei, I... I didn't come out, and I didn't make any comments! Don't chase me!"

...

"Sir Wei, don't chase me! I'm a military officer, a military officer!!!"

...

"Don't run! Just say what you have to say! I always listen to you!"

...

Li Shimin looked at the funny scene in the court and secretly admired it in his heart.

It's not an exaggeration to argue with the scholars! !

But he knew that these were all the effects of Pokémon,

and what Wei Zheng said was reasonable.

"Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?"

After hearing what Li Shimin said, the ministers immediately knelt down and shouted:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

They were afraid that Wei Zheng would come over if they were late...
