Arriving at Xue's house with great anxiety, Xiao Han cautiously asked the housekeeper of Xue House who came out: "Butler, is Xue Shou at home now?"
The old housekeeper of the Xue Mansion had great respect for Xiao Han, the future uncle. Hearing this, he immediately bowed his waist and replied: "Back to the Marquis, the eldest son drank too much last night. He didn't sleep long after coming back. He went to court again this morning."
"He went to court? Oh, how could I forget this!"
When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief!
He had forgotten that he did not need to go to court, but Xue Shou and the others had to clock in and go to work. Moreover, with their status and official positions, as long as they were in Chang'an, they were required to attend not only the major court meetings, but also the daily small court meetings!
Thinking about having to get up before dawn every day to go to court, Xiao Han couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude to Li Yuan for giving him a holiday.
This is the real good person! When you retire gloriously, I will come to play with you when I have nothing to do...
"Hey, that's not right! There was such a big fuss yesterday, no one will find trouble with them today!"
Just now he breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have to face his uncle. Thinking of going to court, Xiao Han suddenly felt excited, but he started to worry about these brothers and sisters in trouble!
However, when he thought about it further, he felt that his worries were unnecessary.
"It's just a brothel destroyed and a restaurant forced to buy! It's not a big deal! The court has so many big things every day, how can you care about such trivial matters?"
After taking a soothing pill for himself, Xiao Han's mood immediately improved again. He threw away the old butler who looked puzzled and trotted towards the back house of Xue Mansion.
I don’t know how Sun Simiao is doing or when Xue Pan will be fully recovered! Speaking of which, these days, he has not even returned to Sanyuan County, and has been staying in Chang'an.
At this moment, Xiao Han, who had been completely silent in the love between his children, did not expect it!
Normally the court really doesn't care about these little things!
But now, Prince Li Jiancheng had already thought of suppressing Li Shimin, and he was naturally very concerned about the whereabouts of Li Shimin and his men.
As soon as the incident happened last night, he had already received detailed information.
Early this morning, before the palace door was opened, some people from the Prince's faction were already gearing up to kill the Second Highness' majesty!
The court of the Tang Dynasty is a little strange now, or a little unusual!
It stands to reason that since the emperor was at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, the fight between the princes should have been kept under water and unknown to the public!
But in today's Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's martial arts is too great! So much so that most of the generals in the court were at his beck and call!
Although Li Yuan loves his sons, it doesn't mean that he will dote on them uncontrollably!
Therefore, with his conscious or unconscious connivance, the prince also controlled the entire civil servant group of Datang!
The result is that the civil and military forces are now separated and restricting each other! And Li Yuan is in the middle and mediates the strange form.
I have to say, Li Yuan’s hand is indeed beautiful!
He knew very well that he could not conquer the world without Li Shimin! But if he is not restrained, the strange situation of a strong minister and a weak king will appear! He also didn't want his son to become a powerful minister like Huo Guang.
In this case, someone needs to restrict and suppress him!
After much thought, Li Yuansi could only hand over the conflicting points to his eldest son Li Jiancheng and control the balance himself! After all, if you suppress it yourself, you will break the hearts of your son and the generals! Now that the world is not stable, the morale of the military cannot be shaken at all!
At the beginning of the morning today, all the generals, including Li Shimin, were listless.
They experienced the pain of hangover no less than Xiao Han! That feeling of splitting headache is truly unforgettable! Now they just hope that they can go to court early so that they can go back and catch up on their sleep.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned!
After talking about a bunch of trivial matters about sesame seeds and mung beans, a middle-aged official from the Ministry of Punishment glanced at the prince and stood up.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu was patrolling the streets last night, and someone hurriedly reported to the police that there were thugs causing trouble at night! The two Marquis Wu under my command rushed to the scene, but were beaten so violently that they are still unconscious!" The middle-aged official spoke in a deep voice, but only talked about things and ignored the characters.
Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair and frowned when he heard this.
However, he is not frowning over this trivial matter!
There are countless dandies in Chang'an, and troubles and beatings abound at night!
It’s just that the most powerful person in the past was only reported to Dali Temple. Why did he deliberately come to the court to speak today?
"Oh, who are that group of people? Have they been arrested?" Li Yuan looked at the official from the Ministry of Justice and asked calmly.
The official from the Ministry of Justice who just spoke lowered his head, his eyes flashed, and then he cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, not yet..."
"Then send officials from Dali Temple to supervise the matter!" Li Yuan said calmly and planned to drop the matter.
But he didn't realize that from the very beginning, Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao and the others had extremely rich expressions!
Li Shimin stood at the head of the line of military attachés, and his heart suddenly moved when he looked at the official from the Ministry of Justice who was speaking!
Not only does he have extraordinary military talents, but he is also naturally sensitive to politics!
From this man's brief words, Li Shimin smelled a hint of conspiracy!
"What does he want to do?" Li Shimin's mind changed rapidly! After thinking about it, in order not to be led around by others, he simply stood up.
"Father...this matter was caused by my son's drunken behavior! I beg your father to punish me!"
"Did you do this?"
Li Yuan glanced at his son strangely, then looked at Chai Shao and others who stood up at the same time, and he suddenly understood!
"No wonder, it turns out that this matter involves Erlang!" Li Yuan understood in his heart, and then glanced at Li Jiancheng who was sitting quietly, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
My eldest son seems calm, but his methods are too shallow! Even if you want to attack Li Shimin? At least find something serious! What effect can such a trivial matter have? !
"Getting drunk? Don't act recklessly! But since you admit your mistake sincerely, I will fine you a hundred catties of copper and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishments as a warning to others!"
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then made a decision on the matter. Li Shimin and others also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was just a fine, a trivial matter! Wait for Xiao Han to reimburse you!
Just when everyone thought they had understood the matter, no one noticed that the criminal official who quietly returned to the team had a hint of mockery on his lips. His mission had been completed. Next, it was time for someone else to appear.
"His Majesty!"
Just when Li Yuan wanted to retire without incident, another older official from the Ministry of Rites stood up.
He bowed his hands toward Li Yuan tremblingly, then turned his head and looked at Li Shimin. His half-open old eyes actually had a stern look hidden in them.
"Your Majesty knows that His Highness King Qin lost his composure after drinking, but do you know where he lost his composure?"
