"Tell me, who is instructing you!"
Li Shimin's face was as cold as frost and he stared at Yao Silian.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Yao Silian was trembling all over, and there seemed to be a haze hanging over his heart.
"Yao Aiqing, I have never treated you badly."
Li Shimin began to play the emotional card: "I have given you high-ranking officials and generous salaries over the years, and promised you the position of crown prince and grand master!"
"Even the original Li Gang was only the prince's young master!"
Li Shimin was particularly angry.
Not only because of Li Chengqian's matter, but also because Yao Silian disappointed him.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong."
Yao Silian bowed, not daring to straighten up for a long time: "Old ministers should not be willful and self-indulgent, rely on their elders and neglect their elders..."
"We shouldn't have almost destroyed the prince!"
Everyone watched this scene quietly.
I feel a bit sad.
"Who ordered you to slander the prince?" Seeing that the time had come, Li Shimin asked.
"This old minister really doesn't know."
Yao Silian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know when something became popular in the East Palace..."
"Demoting the crown prince, improving reputation!"
Li Shimin was stunned.
He is most familiar with this matter...
Those remonstrating ministers loved to pull his pigtails to enhance their reputation.
"You mean those prince's assistant officers, who specialize in catching the prince's mistakes?"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes.
Think carefully about the mistakes the prince has made in the past two years.
Almost every now and then someone comes to complain to him.
He also had to laugh and comfort him...
I feel sick just thinking about it!
"Your Majesty... not only the crown prince's auxiliary officer is like this, this is almost the tacit consent of the court!" Yao Silian said bravely.
The court's default?
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
If so, someone is definitely behind it!
Sudden……
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng.
Lao Wei also impeached Gao Ming several times!
"Your Majesty is doubting me?"
Wei Zheng replied with a serious face: "If I need to gain prestige and there is no need to demote the prince, I can just criticize you..."
Fuck you.
That makes damn sense.
"Come here, put Yao Silian in jail!"
Li Shimin's words fell.
Yao Silian's body trembled, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of strength.
"Your Majesty, I know my mistake!"
Turning around, Yao Silian saluted respectfully: "But because I am loyal to you, your Majesty, please spare me and my family."
"Do you think that's possible?"
Li Shimin had murderous intent: "You taught the prince to be like this, and you still want me to spare your family?"
Wei Zheng frowned slightly and felt compassion.
Yao Silian has been working for the Tang Dynasty all his life. When he gets old, he will not be able to protect himself at the end of the year, but he will also face the disaster of the Nine Clans.
This is the saddest thing for a minister.
"Your Majesty, although Yao Silian has neglected his duties, he only comes to the East Palace a few times a month..."
Wei Zheng began to plead for mercy.
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Shuyu...
"Dad, there is no need to discuss this matter!"
He knew what Lao Wei was thinking.
He also knew that if Lao Wei fought hard, he might be able to save Yao Silian.
But it's not cost-effective.
It will leave a grudge in Li Shimin's heart, and it will even make Ling Wei get caught!
"His Majesty!"
Wei Shuyu bowed to Li Shimin: "I advocate the killing of Yao Silian!"
Um?
Everyone looked at Wei Shuyu in confusion.
No one expected that Wei Shuyu would turn against Lao Wei again.
"Why?"
Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng.
"Yao Silian knows that everyone is trying to demote the prince and gain prestige!"
"It would be a pity to die just by hiding this and not reporting it."
Yao Silian heard this.
He sighed and lowered his head.
"and……"
Wei Shuyu's eyes became sharp: "If Your Majesty doesn't kill Yao Silian today, he will serve as a warning to others..."
"In the future, others will still find flaws in the prince!"
"If you scold someone rightly, you will have merit, if you scold someone wrongly, there will be no fault."
"Where can I find this kind of good thing that makes a lot of money?"
Li Shimin nodded.
Then he turned to look at Wei Zheng.
"What do you think Xuan Cheng?"
"minister……"
Just when Wei Zheng was about to say something, Yao Silian suddenly laughed.
"Ha ha……"
As if he knew there was no hope of survival, Yao Silian let go of his restraints!
"Xuancheng, please stop begging for me."
"I was wrong about this."
"I have been loyal all my life, but now that I am old, I have harmed the prince for the sake of personal reputation!"
"I am a sinner!"
Yao Silian laughed wantonly, but there were some tears in his sunken eyes.
Wei Zheng frowned.
This feeling...
Yao Silian is determined to die!
"Your Highness, I have been wrong for the past two years."
Turning around, Yao Silian gave Li Chengqian a solemn salute.
"Master Yao, you don't need to do this."
Li Chengqian waved his hands repeatedly, wanting to give some advice.
"Your Highness, don't say anything. Let me listen to my last lesson."
"I hope that His Highness can uphold his original intention and fight for justice!"
"Your Highness actually doesn't need to be afraid of His Majesty's punishment at all!"
"Because you are the prince!"
"No matter how scared you are..."
"A scolding for three days, a beating for five days, when did you miss it?"
"On the contrary, His Majesty will argue with your arguments and your Majesty will be impressed by you!"
Li Chengqian listened blankly.
What you said makes sense.
But...I am still afraid of being alone!
"Your Majesty, I was wrong!"
Yao Silian bowed solemnly to Li Shimin again: "I have experienced three dynasties, and it is my honor to witness the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."
"It's a pity that I am seeking fame and reputation, but I have failed to live up to the divine grace!"
Yao Silian suddenly raised the decibel level, his voice filled with determination...
"Today I will die to apologize!"
"If your Majesty shows mercy, please leave a bloodline to the Yao family..."
The words fell.
Yao Silian turned around sharply and hit the wall on the side.
No one advised.
No one stopped me.
For a civil servant.
More so for a historian.
This way of dying is an honor.
At least in the history books, he will not be written as a heinous person.
boom.
After a loud noise...
Yao Silian, died!
well.
Li Shimin and Wei Zheng sighed together.
Veteran, one less person.
"Published the decree, Yao Silian deceived the emperor and committed suicide in Da'an Palace."
"His family members are full..."
Li Shimin was about to say that everyone in his family would be executed, but when he thought of Yao Silian's regret just now, his heart moved again.
"Their family members should be sent to Lingnan..."
"In addition, hereby declare that all the prince's auxiliary officers will be demoted by one rank!"
"Whoever dares to complain will be killed!"
Turned……
Seeing Yao Silian with blood on the ground, he said: "Bury Yao Silian with dignity and give him dignity."
Wang De took the order.
Start making arrangements.
"Father, if there is nothing else, please leave first!" Li Shimin saluted Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's narrowed pupils suddenly opened!
finally……
Is it my turn?
Dong dong dong...
Li Yuan walked towards Li Shimin step by step.
"Your business is done, but Gao Ming's business is not yet done!"
"Father, what do you want to do?"
Li Shimin subconsciously had a bad feeling.
"Evil beast!"
Li Yuan suddenly shouted: "How have you taught Gao Ming in the past two years?"
"Gao Ming is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Do you know that you almost destroyed the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"
bass.
Li Yuan drew out the cane as if holding a sword.
"Father, I will handle this matter well!" Li Shimin suppressed his inner uneasiness.
But the heartbeat is getting faster and faster.
"I don't care if you can handle it well..."
"I'm mentally ill."
"Today I will recover for Gao Ming the grievances he has suffered in the past two years!"
Li Yuan raised the cane and pulled it sharply...
