The styles of the pieces of paper that floated over were different, and the fonts on them were not written by one person, but the content inside them all made Yang Lin feel like he had fallen into an ice cave!
"Your Majesty..." Yang Lin raised his head with difficulty. He wanted to tell Li Shimin that he was just bewitched by his mother-in-law and had nothing to do with his father-in-law's family affairs! When he goes back, he will divorce that yellow-faced woman!
However, when he met Xiao Lizi's sharp eyes, all his quibbles and reasons were suppressed in his mouth, and he couldn't even utter half a sentence!
"Look, this is the government office under my rule! Killing, looting, setting fires, everything is used to the extreme! Such a group of people, they also claim to protect Lingnan for me? Hahaha..."
Li Shimin supported the imperial case with both hands and laughed sadly. This laughter made all the ministers present tremble with fear!
Even those as bold as Cheng Yaojin could not help but bow down and lower their heads at this time, for fear that if they were not careful, they would offend the current emperor!
He had already seen it: Li Shimin was really angry this time, and his anger was at its peak! At this time, whoever touches it will definitely die!
"Hey, Xiao Han, Xiao Han! You are such a big troublemaker! No matter where you go, you can always stir up a bloody storm!"
Cheng Yaojin lowered his head and sighed secretly, but Li Shimin in the hall, after laughing, turned his attention to Yang Lin in front of him again.
"Come on, tell me, my people are being treated like nothings and being burned, killed, robbed and tortured! Do they deserve to have their hands tied and their necks slaughtered? Is it a sin to even fight back? Those evil men burned more than a thousand rooms for the people. Houses, but the people only smashed a few of their yards, and that's it, you still want me to punish those people?"
Hearing Li Shimin's serious question, Yang Lin's body trembled even more! A pair of hands gripped the gold brick on the ground with such force that they almost inserted their fingers into the gold brick!
"Come on! Tell me! Who should I blame?"
After a moment of silence, a loud shout suddenly shocked the entire audience! With this loud shout, Li Shimin overturned the imperial case, which weighed almost a thousand kilograms, and then kicked it down from the high platform with a heavy kick!
"Rumble..." The huge imperial case slid down the steps to the main hall. The copper lamps, wooden railings, and incense burners along the way were shattered into pieces. For a while, the open space between the emperor and the ministers was filled with dust. !
"Can't tell? Then think about it carefully! Come here! Take Yang Lin! and the rest of them to Dali Temple! I want to know how much benefit they have received and how many pickling things they have done to help others. !”
"Here!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, the golden melon warriors in the main hall immediately pulled away and saluted, and then under everyone's gaze, they dragged those people away like dead dogs, regardless of how they cried out that they were wronged and said nonsense that they didn't dare anymore.
The people who complained were dragged away, and the court fell into a deathly silence. All the ministers in the palace lowered their heads and said nothing. Occasionally, the brave ones only dared to quietly raise their heads to take a look at the messy golden palace, and then quickly buried their heads. Next, continue to pretend to be a frightened ostrich.
Li Shimin stood on the steps, looking at the officials in the hall, his chest rising and falling! He has been holding back ever since he received these letters! Even when those people came forward to cry and demand severe punishment for Xiao Han, he still endured it!
This is not because he wants to condone these people, but because he wants to see how deep the hands of those people in Lingnan extend!
The people who jumped out in front of me were just insignificant pawns. There must be big fish hiding in the court!
However, although the plan was good, when Li Shimin heard what Yang Lin said, he couldn't help it after all!
He felt that if he didn't vent it out, he felt like he was going to explode! In fact, if it weren't for the laws of the Tang Dynasty and not punishing crimes with words, he would have wanted to kill these bastards on the spot!
"Xiao Han once told me that a couplet was hung in the county government office in Guangzhou, which read, 'You eat and you are rich, and the people care for you. The people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully!'"
After taking a few deep breaths, Li Shimin looked at the many ministers in the hall and suddenly felt lonely.
He never thought that such a dark place still existed under his rule, even if this place was in the distant Lingnan!
"I share this couplet with you! I hope that before you do anything, you will first ask your conscience, whether you can afford this world, whether you can afford to support our people, and whether you can live a life that is clear to your conscience. !”
"My lord, please obey the Holy Will!"
When Li Shimin finished speaking this time, some ministers immediately gathered their courage and raised their hands in salute, but more ministers hurriedly followed after being stunned for a moment.
As for wanting to impeach Xiao Han?
Is there such a thing? How come they don't know?
————————
The big meeting is over
Except for the few people who were taken away, the other ministers were more or less in a daze when they walked out of the hall and bathed in the early winter sunshine.
Although the emperor reached the end, he did not say how to solve the Lingnan matter! But anyone with a discerning eye knows: Xun Mansion, Nankang Mansion, and Nan Yi Mansion are completely over now!
"Huh? Why haven't you heard any news about the Feng family in Lingnan?"
Standing at the gate of the palace, Duan Zhixuan touched his head, which was baked by the sun and was steaming white. He suddenly remembered something and hurriedly grabbed Changsun Wuji who was beside him and asked.
"Lingnan Feng family?" Changsun Wuji was grabbed by Liu Hongji. He was somewhat unhappy. After a heavy "hum", he said: "You didn't attend yesterday's court meeting?"
"Are you participating?" Liu Hongji stared with big eyes and nodded confidently!
"Then you have never heard that the Feng family of Lingnan resigned as governor of Guangzhou?"
"Uh... no! When did this happen!"
"Just yesterday!" Changsun Wuji, who hated iron but could not become steel, rolled his eyes at Liu Hongji and said angrily: "What did you hear yesterday? You don't even know this?"
"Ahem, I accidentally drank too much the night before yesterday. I was still hungover and fell asleep when I got to the palace, so I really can't remember clearly." Duan Zhixuan blushed and asked again: "How is it? Is Your Majesty sure?" "
"Maybe!" Changsun Wuji squeezed out two words through his teeth, and then walked forward. Duan Zhixuan saw this and hurriedly followed behind.
"Maybe? Why! Doesn't His Majesty dream of letting these aristocratic families go away?
"roll!"
"Oh, let them go, it's not me! We have something to say, Xiao Zhang, no, Xiao Sun...Xiao Ji? Why does it have the same name as Xiao Han's dog? Forget it! Xiao Ji, then What happened in the end?"
"Humph, how else can we solve this problem? The Feng family insisted on resigning, but His Majesty refused several times. Until finally, His Majesty reluctantly accepted the Feng family's resignation."
