"In that case, then let's follow Wei Aiqing..."
Li Shimin wanted to agree to Wei Zheng's request quickly.
It was already obvious that Chu Suiliang could not kill Li Daliang in Longxi.
There must be something fishy about it.
He didn't want to be known as the man who killed his ministers by mistake.
"His Majesty!"
But at this moment, he was interrupted by a voice.
Fang Xuanling came out and bowed: "I cannot agree with what Wei Zheng said!"
"A prisoner is a prisoner, so how can he be exempted from his status as a criminal?"
"If he hurts more people, who should bear the consequences?"
well.
Li Shimin sighed.
Fang Xuanling still stood up.
He winked at Wei Zheng and continued...
Wei Zheng's face looked a little solemn!
Fang's plan is over.
Fang Xuanling is no better than others.
He has been serving as Zuo Pushe for many years and has been in officialdom for a long time. He is much more difficult to deal with than other officials!
"Xuanling, what I said was not to let Chu Suiliang go."
"I just hope he won't be convicted until the truth is found out!"
"If you are imprisoned for this, it will most likely break the heart of a minister!"
Wei Zheng thought about it for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"He didn't do it, and the court will clear his name!"
Fang Xuanling turned around and replied seriously: "Isn't this matter handed over to Dali Temple for trial?"
Sure enough, Fang Xuanling clung to this point!
"Is Chu Suiliang a criminal?" Wei Zheng asked back.
"certainly!"
Fang Xuanling replied forcefully: "No matter how eloquent you, Wei Zheng, are, you can't change one fact..."
"Killing Li Daliang was the order given by Chu Suiliang himself!"
All the ministers nodded after hearing this.
This statement is unexplainable.
If Wei Zheng is messing around, he is distorting the facts!
All the ministers looked at Wei Zheng one by one.
Is Old Wei finally going to be silenced?
"What crime did he commit?"
Wei Zheng suddenly said something.
Fang Xuanling frowned: "Wasn't what I just said clear enough?"
"Clear is clear."
Wei Zheng suddenly laughed: "But the question is, who convicted him?"
"Dali Temple has not yet concluded the case, and His Majesty has not yet made a decision."
"Why did Chu Suiliang become a prisoner?"
this……
The officials were dumbfounded.
Yes, who convicted him?
It seems that they were escorted here by the Li family from Longxi.
"When Chu Suiliang ordered Li Daliang to be killed, not a single official in Liangzhou stopped him."
"When the beheading is finished, jump out one by one and catch Chu Suiliang!"
Uh-huh...
Wei Zheng glanced at the ministers with stern eyes: "Can't you all see something fishy in this?"
The ministers were speechless.
It seems to make some sense.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling spoke again: "Your Majesty asked Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter and has taken back Chu Suiliang's power. He is now a prisoner!"
Wei Zheng also showed no signs of weakness: "You also said that you only conducted a thorough investigation and did not make a conclusion!"
"Chu Suiliang has serious suspicions!"
"Suspicion does not prove that he did it!"
"Dali Temple has the right to arrest him!"
"Your Majesty has not dismissed Chu Suiliang from his official position!"
"Wei Zheng, are you going to condone criminals?"
"Fang Xuanling, do you want to confuse the public and let the real culprit go free?"
The two prime ministers were arguing in front of the palace.
The ministers are accustomed to it!
It is normal to have disagreements and quarrels in the court!
Li Shimin looked at the scene with a strange expression.
They are all his right-hand men, and it is not good to favor anyone.
But it’s not okay to keep making noise like this...
Just when Li Shimin wanted to stop him, Wei Shuyu stood up...
"Uncle Fang..."
However, before Wei Shuyu could finish his words, Fang Xuanling stopped him.
"Don't talk!"
Fang Xuanling's eyes widened.
An old Wei is difficult enough, but how can he deal with a young Wei?
"Uncle Fang, what do you mean by this?"
Wei Shuyu didn't care, and said to himself: "Your Majesty advocates opening up the avenue of speech, so that everyone in the world can speak freely!"
"Besides, this is the imperial court. Uncle Fang doesn't let his ministers speak. Could it be that he wants to act arbitrarily?"
Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched.
Xiao Wei is not a fuel-efficient lamp either...
But how could I let you and Lao Wei spray me together?
Um.
Kill Xiao Wei first!
"Shu Yu, as an official of the imperial court, you opened Wenyun Pavilion to conduct business, do you know that you have committed a big taboo?
Uh-huh.
Fang Xuanling turned around and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu is fighting for the interests of the people. I sincerely ask your Majesty to remove him from his official position!"
Huh?
The ministers were stunned.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling, who has always been a good guy, would fight back so violently.
Immediately everyone watched the good show...
Li Wei clenched his fists excitedly and shouted in his heart: Remove him, remove him...
Change the topic and get the upper hand!
Fang Xuanling's move was cruel enough.
But you are attacking the wrong target. His Majesty’s five thousand guans have not yet been paid back...
"Opening Wenyun Pavilion is something that must be done to promote business!" Wei Shuyu retorted.
"Even if you are doing business..."
Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Shuyu and scolded sternly: "But only if you know your identity!"
"You are an official, not a merchant!"
"Your words and deeds represent the imperial court!"
"No matter what your reason is, it's wrong for you to be there!"
It's really difficult to deal with.
Compared with Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling was more than one level stronger.
"Uncle Fang is right."
Wei Shuyu admitted generously.
Fang Xuanling is a sensible person, so you can't be tough with him, just reason slowly.
"But I still want to ask..."
"I am responsible for mercantile business. If I don't represent the court, how can mercantile business flourish?"
Seeing that Fang Xuanling wanted to speak, Wei Shuyu would not give him the chance.
"Uncle Fang doesn't know about business, so let me give you a brief introduction..."
“Since Hu County attracted investment, hundreds of businessmen have been attracted to settle here.”
"The total investment by merchants has reached 400,000 yuan!"
What!
The officials were shocked.
So much money has been collected in just a few days?
"Uncle Fang, as Zuopushe of Shangshu Province, must know how many people can be supported by 400,000 yuan, right?"
Wei Shuyu's sharp eyes swept across the ministers, and then he said domineeringly...
"I can tell you with confidence that an investment of 400,000 yuan..."
"Enough to make no one hungry in the entire Hu County."
"It is enough to build Hu County into an unprecedented prosperous county."
"And this 400,000 yuan is just the beginning!"
"In the near future, Hu County will become the main taxpayer in Datang!"
Fang Xuanling was also shocked.
But he has not forgotten his purpose. The most important thing now is to force Wei Shuyu back!
"Since the pilot project in Hu County has achieved results, why do you want to open Wenyun Pavilion?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"Of course it matters!"
Wei Shuyu smiled naturally and said, "But there are so many twists and turns that I can't finish it in an hour or three!"
"I'll just pick something simple and easy to understand..."
