Royal study room.
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and processed the memorial.
Wei Zheng also knelt down and sat in the position of the attendant as always.
The difference from before is...
He no longer needs to deal with government affairs.
"Shu Yu is still outside Xuanwu Gate?"
After a long time, Li Shimin put down the memorial and turned to ask Wang De.
"Your Majesty, yes." Wang De responded respectfully.
"Xuancheng!"
Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng: "Look at the good things you have done."
"Why did you tell me you wanted to hide it from me?"
"Now you are not only harming yourself, but also Shuyu!"
Wei Zheng stood up expressionlessly.
He bowed to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I had already anticipated this day when I decided to protect my uncle."
"You have no regrets?" Li Shimin scolded.
Wei Zheng was startled.
His eyes flickered slightly, then returned to determination.
By chance, this scene was captured by Li Shimin...
"You hesitated."
Li Shimin said: "I didn't expect you to regret it sometimes!"
"Return to Your Majesty..."
Wei Zheng bowed and said, "I regret not for myself, but for Shu Yu."
"I never expected that he would be so good."
"His contribution to the people far exceeds that of his ministers!"
"Now that I have been implicated, I beg your Majesty..."
"Let Shuyu go."
"He can make greater contributions to Datang!"
boom.
Li Shimin slapped his palm on the case.
"Asshole!"
"How do you want me to let go?"
"You are his biological father. If I kill you, I will be his father-killing enemy..."
Tai Chi Hall echoed with Li Shimin's roar.
All the eunuchs and maids lowered their heads and did not dare to make any sound.
However, Wei Zheng raised his head and looked at Li Shimin...
"Your Majesty, this matter is actually quite easy to resolve."
Wei Zheng said seriously: "It would be fine if you didn't kill me."
Grass!
Li Shimin picked up the memorial and threw it at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng didn't dodge either.
Let the memorial hit you.
Then he picked it up again and presented it respectfully...
"His Majesty."
"The memorial records the national events reported to you by the ministers. If it is damaged, it may cause unpredictable consequences."
"I hope your Majesty..."
Seeing that Wei Zheng was about to rant about himself again.
Li Shimin immediately shouted down...
"Shut up!"
"Do you think your status is suitable for persuading me?"
Wei Zheng's mouth squirmed, but he finally chose to keep his mouth shut.
Li Shimin took a few breaths angrily.
Suddenly he seemed to remember something and looked at Wei Zheng again...
Li Shimin's voice changed: "If you want me to let you go, that's fine..."
Wei Zheng raised his head.
Just when he thought there was a turning point, Li Shimin poured cold water on him again.
"As long as you kill Julu County Prince (Li Chengyi) with your own hands."
"I not only let you go, but also let you continue to serve as a servant!"
Wei Zheng's expression suddenly sank.
He lowered his head and refused to reply.
"What? Don't want to?"
Li Shimin continued to persuade: "Don't forget, you not only have Shuyu, but also the newborn Shuyu..."
"You can't bear to let your little son grow up in that barren land in Lingnan?"
Li Shimin's ability to control people's hearts is still very powerful.
While he was a high-ranking official and well-paid, he himself died and his son suffered.
For people who are not very relevant, normal people will choose high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
But...he is Wei Zheng!
"As a descendant of the Wei family, this is his fate!" Wei Zheng replied firmly.
"Asshole."
Li Shimin cursed angrily.
This Wei Zheng is born in the year of donkey and is stubborn as hell!
"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your manners."
Wei Zheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and it is unworthy of him to utter foul words over and over again..."
"Shut up!"
Li Shimin shouted: "I just said that your current status is no longer suitable to persuade me!"
"..."
Wei Zheng was stunned.
Occupational disease, there is nothing we can do about it.
"Since you said people are important."
"So between Shuyu and Shuyu, who will you choose?"
Li Shimin seemed to have discovered some secret and began to ask questions...
"Shuyu can plead for the people and represent the people!"
"Prince Julu is just an outsider."
"You abandoned the people for an outsider."
"Isn't this inconsistent with your philosophy?"
Wei Zheng was stunned.
This is indeed an unsolvable question.
Seeing Wei Zheng being rendered speechless by himself, Li Shimin felt that he was finally proud and proud.
snort.
Li Shimin snorted arrogantly.
Do you really think I can’t troll people?
I just let you go before!
"Xuancheng, if you kill Prince Julu, you and I will still be kings and ministers!" Li Shimin continued to confuse him.
"His Majesty."
Wei Zheng bowed to Li Shimin and said: "What you said is correct, so I regret it..."
"But Chen thought about it later."
"Instead of regretting, it's better to face..."
"As long as your Majesty pardons Prince Julu, everything will be fine!"
However, these words ushered in Li Shimin's thunderous wrath.
"Wei Zheng!"
Li Shimin said with a sullen face: "Don't you know that keeping him here is laying the foundation for the Tang Dynasty's disaster?"
"Once it is used by someone with ulterior motives, the Tang Dynasty will be in turmoil!"
Wei Zheng was speechless.
Just when he wanted to make a few excuses, Li Shimin didn't give him the chance...
"Come here, take Wei Zheng down!"
at the same time.
Cheng Mansion.
After Qin Qiong learned the news, she immediately approached Cheng Yaojin.
"Zhijie, what do you think about Xuancheng?" Qin Qiong asked solemnly.
"Uncle Bao, please don't be impulsive about this matter."
Cheng Yaojin quickly tried to dissuade him: "In the past, you and I had enough to eat, so the whole family wasn't hungry."
"Now look at how many people there are in your Duke Yi's mansion, and how many people are there in our Cheng mansion?"
"The crime of treason is not a small one."
"What will they do if we are implicated?"
this……
Cheng Yaojin's words can be said to have touched Qin Qiong's heart.
But letting him do nothing still made him feel uncomfortable.
"Is there no way?" Qin Qiong asked unwillingly.
"No!"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "In the past, Wei Zheng was responsible, so it didn't matter if we stood up for him."
"But this time, no one can protect him!"
"The only thing we can do is to wait for His Majesty to calm down and preserve the blood of the Wei family."
well.
Qin Qiong sighed.
Finally, he sat down helplessly.
Imperial College.
Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan and other old scholars were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea...
"Chongyuan, what do you think about Xuancheng?" Yu Shinan put down his teacup and asked.
"There is a will but no power."
Kong Yingda sighed.
He wanted to save him, but as a descendant of the Kong family, he was destined not to come forward.
"Where are the Shandong nobles?" Yu Shinan asked.
"Xuan Cheng is at fault in this matter."
Kong Yingda shook his head: "As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, no two kings in the land, no two kings in the country, and no two honorable men in the family."
"Wei Zheng committed a big taboo this time."
"Confucianism is also helpless."
well.
Yu Shinan sighed.
"Since Confucianism is unwilling to come forward, it seems that I have no choice but to sacrifice my old bones."
Yu Shinan stood up.
"What are you going to do?"
Kong Yingda also stood up and said: "This matter is completely wrong and cannot be saved."
"When Xuancheng stepped in for Shanshan, I should repay him with kindness." Yu Shinan showed determination.
"Why are you doing this?"
Kong Yingda sighed: "How can you alone change His Majesty's mind? This is a futile effort."
In response, Yu Shinan just smiled...
"How do you know it's useless if you don't even try?"
