A fight last night was just an insignificant thing that happened in a corner to Chang'an City, which has a population of hundreds of thousands.
Even when he went to court the next day, there were suddenly several more pig-headed courtiers than the previous day, and the emperor didn't seem to show any surprise.
"Your Majesty! I am impeaching Cheng Yaojin for his lack of respect for the king and for openly beating the court ministers..."
As the golden bell of the court rang, a Censor Yanguan with black circles under his eyes was the first to lie on the ground, tearfully accusing Cheng Yaojin and others of the tyranny!
At the same time, several other guys with injuries on their faces also came out and glared at Cheng Yaojin and the others in the military attache team, who acted like they had nothing to do with me.
"Zheng Wen, you said it was Cheng Yaojin who beat you?"
On the dragon throne, although Li Shimin had expected this, he still rubbed his head helplessly.
As the master of this world, he has already received the news of what happened last night.
In fact, he even knew everything about how Xiao Han and others went to Yuchi Dasha's house to drink a celebratory drink after beating others!
However, he really didn't want to care about this kind of thing, and he didn't bother to care about it.
A group of generals on the battlefield drank too much and started fighting. Isn't this normal?
There is no oppression of the people, and there are no serious consequences, so why bother?
You can't come here to complain just because you lost the fight! I will remove Cheng Yaojin and others from their positions and send them to Lingnan! What if I have to fight again after that? Who will work for me? How many of you do I really count on? Isn’t my kingdom finished soon?
"Your Majesty, it's Cheng Yaojin! And Yuchi Jingde and Liu Hongji!"
In the main hall, Zheng Wen was filled with anger. He didn't see Li Shimin's intention to calm down the incident at all. He still pointed at these people and shouted angrily: "We have so many colleagues who can testify! They were the ones who beat us like this!"
"Yes! Let us testify! The injuries on my face were caused by Liu Hongji!"
"And my waist was kicked by them secretly!"
"My legs... hiss! It hurts!"
With Zheng Wen taking the lead, people who had suffered losses last night jumped out one after another, pointing to their wounds and complaining.
One of them even wanted to show the emperor his injured buttocks, but he thought about having to take off his pants in public, so he endured it angrily.
"Cheng Yaojin, is this happening?"
Although he was reluctant in his heart, seeing the angry look of this group of people, Li Shimin had no choice but to ask Cheng Yaojin vaguely.
"Return to your majesty! It seems that something like this happened."
Cheng Yaojin did not deny it, but walked out of the team carelessly. On the way, he passed several Yan Guan who prostrated himself on the ground, and deliberately stamped his feet, scaring them so much that they hurriedly hid on the side with their hands and feet in a panic. The other ministers looked at him and laughed again.
"It seems to be there? If there is, there is, and if there is not, there is not! What does it mean there seems to be!" On the dragon throne, Li Shimin was also made to laugh by the actions of several officials, but he finally suppressed it and continued to ask with a straight face. .
"Your Majesty, I think so. It means that Wei Chen did have some conflict with them last night, but they were the ones who started it! And they bullied the few with more, Wei Chen's behavior is considered legitimate...just..."
Cheng Yaojin came to the center of the hall, folded his hands, and explained in a serious manner. Unexpectedly, at the end of the sentence, he suddenly forgot how to say Xiao Hanjiao's words! After muttering for a long time, he had no choice but to look at Xiao Han who was hiding in the corner as if asking for help.
"Idiot! It's self-defense!" In the corner, Xiao Han saw Cheng Yaojin looking at him and could only roll his eyes and scolded him in a low voice!
I taught it so many times last night, why can’t I remember it?
"Yes! Justifiable defense! Haha..."
In the front, Cheng Yaojin looked at the movements of Xiao Han's lips and suddenly remembered these two words. He immediately slapped his head and laughed and said: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, we still have witnesses! Wu Hou, who was patrolling the streets at that time, can testify! Yes!" They attacked us with hidden weapons first! They bullied those who were in power!"
"I don't believe it? You're weird if I believe it!" Li Shimin looked at them strangely, looking at Zheng Wen and the others who looked like bean sprouts, and then at Cheng Yaojin, who was big and round, and could support three or four of them. Are Zheng Wen and the others stupid? Do it first?
However, fortunately, when he asked Cheng Yaojin, he was not really prepared to solve the case, but just wanted to make peace with Xini.
There are so many important things in the world that have not yet been completed, who cares about your trivial matters?
Lost the fight? Who to blame? Blame yourself! The best thing to do is to find a way to fight back, instead of crying to your parents like a child.
"It will be easier if there are witnesses. Zheng Wen, do you think we should call witnesses? Find out what exactly caused this matter?" After glaring at Cheng Yaojin for several times, Li Shimin looked at Zheng Wen again and asked with a half-smile. road.
"this……"
Now, it was Zheng Wen's turn to hesitate.
He knew that there was a patrolling Wuhou beside Cheng Yaojin last night, and he also knew that after all, it was their side who made the first move! It is even clearer that they have an additional member of the aristocratic family, Wang Shilong!
With the emperor's current attitude towards the aristocratic family, if witnesses were called, not only Cheng Yaojin would be unlucky, but he and Hou Junji would definitely be unlucky first.
"Haha, in my opinion, let's forget about it!" Seeing Zheng Wen's expression of embarrassment, Li Shimin exhaled and smiled slowly: "It's not a big deal! It's just a misunderstanding! In this way, Cheng Yaojin, You guys will be fined a hundred catties of copper! You can use it to heal Zheng Aiqing and his friends, so let’s drop this matter! What do you think, Hou Qing’s family?”
As soon as these words came out, Hou Junji, who had remained silent since going to court, trembled slightly, then slowly bent over and said in a deep voice: "I have no objection."
"Since we don't have any objections, let's drop this matter!" Li Shimin gave Hou Junji a meaningful look, and regardless of Cheng Yaojin's urgent words, he waved his hand directly: "Is there anything else?"
As Li Shimin's words fell, the hall fell silent, and many ministers looked strange. They always felt that the emperor's handling of this matter this morning was indeed a bit strange, as if something was wrong, but at the same time there seemed to be nothing wrong. "
"I have something else to report!"
After a brief silence, Hou Junji, whose face was slightly swollen, bowed again and said, "I have something to report!"
Li Shimin had no expression on his face and raised his right hand: "Speak!"
"Here!" Hou Junji nodded, as if he had put in a lot of effort, and said slowly: "I am the minister of the Ministry of War of my court! Logically speaking, except for the emperor's imperial guards and the prince's six commanders, everyone should be controlled by me. !
But now I have discovered that in addition to the Sixteen Guards of Chang'an, there is another guard that is not under my control, and is not even under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War!
I feel that this matter is very inappropriate! If all the local guards use this as an excuse in the future, our Datang army will definitely fall into chaos! Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to incorporate this guard into the Ministry of War and come under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War! To correct the discipline of our army! "
Quiet, absolutely quiet!
As soon as Hou Junji finished speaking, the entire hall fell into silence!
There is no fool here!
Although Hou Junji did not say which guard he was talking about, everyone present knew who he was talking about!
