Li Shimin was troubled by what he had done, and sighed: "What you two beloved ministers said makes sense, and it really makes things difficult for me. However, we have to abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If we act arbitrarily and in vain, it will not mess up the rules of the court."
After saying this, everyone spoke out one after another and said that they would obey His Majesty's handling without any complaints.
No complaints? Leave it to yourself?
Li Shimin certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing. He said this because he wanted people to find a way out, so he started practicing Tai Chi directly.
"Wuji, since what I just said, this matter is yours to handle. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, since we have already been punished with the rod, the next step is to banish the army and behead the beheading. What do you think?"
Changsun Wuji was taking a nap with his eyes narrowed proudly. Hearing this, he trembled and quickly shook his head, secretly scolding Li Shimin for cheating him.
If it's okay to trick someone in the dark, but if you really let him carry it out directly, wouldn't that mean he's clearly offending someone?
Didn't you see Cheng Yaojin, Li Daozong and Fang Xuanling staring at you?
What's more, Li Shimin obviously didn't want Li Tai to be severely punished.
Not to mention Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling are all big guys who are no worse than him.
He wanted him to go out, but there was no way. Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji quickly refused.
"Your Majesty, I felt dizzy and dizzy the past two days. I almost fell asleep just now. I am planning to take three days off tomorrow to recuperate. I hope your Majesty will allow me to do so."
After saying that, he simply closed his eyes as if taking a nap and said nothing.
"This old fox..." Li Shimin cursed secretly, his face turned dark.
Why do you look so sick?
Fat head, big ears, red face, how many civil and military officials in the dynasty have a better body than you?
But there was nothing he could do about Changsun Wuji. After all, he was his brother-in-law, so he had to give him a fierce look.
This guy lit the fire and ignored it, which is totally unreasonable.
Li Shimin could only look at the rest of the people.
Everyone was guessing what Li Shimin was thinking, and they were afraid that Li Shimin would be really angry and a little uneasy, so they didn't dare to speak for a while.
Seeing that Li Shimin's face was getting more and more ugly, everyone knew that shirk responsibility would not work.
After exchanging glances, Li Ji stood up.
Li Ji was born in 594, which is now ten years since Zhenguan, and he is only in his forties this year.
This man has a broad forehead, a round jaw, and a thick beard, looking like a fierce general charging into battle.
It is not as elegant as historical records.
However, Li Ji's thick eyebrows and bright eyes seemed to be full of wisdom.
I saw Li Ji bowing to Li Shimin and saying, "This matter may be a big deal or a small matter. It mainly damages the image of the imperial court."
"Because many people saw it, this matter has a great impact. If it is not punished, rumors will spread among the people. But if it is punished severely, it will damage the reputation of King Wei and the majesty of the royal family."
"In my humble opinion, it is better to drive the person involved out of Chang'an City with great fanfare and to be detained for a period of time. This way, Your Majesty will not only punish the person in accordance with the law, but also maintain the dignity of the royal family. When time passes, the incident will slowly fade away..."
Li Shimin sighed inwardly, this Li Ji was really quick-thinking and actually guessed what he was thinking.
Indeed, if you don't give these gangsters some color, you will be in trouble in the future. If they make trouble every day, you will have a headache.
But if the punishment is severe, Wei Wang Li Tai will inevitably be implicated.
Today, there were several waves of censors in the court asking for this matter, wanting to order Li Tai to go to the fiefdom themselves.
Li Shimin had high hopes for Li Tai, his son.
Li Tai was originally used to sharpen Li Chengqian's knife. On the contrary, Li Chengqian was also a whetstone for Li Tai. Naturally, Li Shimin refused to let Li Tai go to the fief.
Because in Li Shimin's mind, only competition can lead to progress, and only pressure can lead to motivation.
However, now that Li Ji knew his intentions, Li Shimin naturally borrowed the donkey from Poxia and immediately said: "Ai Qing's proposal is very good, so he sent Cheng Chumo, Li Jinghuan, Fang Yiai, and Du He out of the city. After leaving the city, they could examine themselves at their own farm. You are not allowed to return to the city within one month;”
"The king of Wei, Li Tai, ignored the royal image and gathered a crowd to fight, so he was banned from the Wei palace for a month. As for Yang Fan, the loyal uncle, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he did not demand himself according to the etiquette and only used fists and violence. He was specially punished to copy the "Book of Rites" ten times. , because the court meeting is coming soon and the host and guest have heavy affairs, we will not be banned for the time being. We will be banned for one month after the court meeting."
Changsun Wuji's eyes twitched, but he did not refute.
It looked like they were playing fifty games each, but in fact Mao Yong didn't have any, but he didn't dare to touch Li Shimin's head again.
The remaining ministers were dumbfounded!
what happened.
Copying a book ten times, even being banned from home can be postponed. Is this a punishment? Could it be that Yang Fan is His Majesty's illegitimate son?
Li Tai was stunned.
What the hell is this? Who is your biological son?
Feeling depressed, Li Tai of course refused to give up. He glared at Yang Fan fiercely and said, "Father, do you think the punishment of Uncle Zhongyi is unfair? Yang Fan, the Minister of Rites, has no law and beats him in public." It is a serious crime for the imperial court to appoint an official, how can it be uncovered so easily?"
Li Shimin was unhappy. He thought his son had a high emotional intelligence, but he didn't know he didn't know how to advance or retreat.
Do you really think you don’t know why this is happening?
Besides, as an emperor who sticks to his word, Li Tai questioned his majesty as an emperor in person like this.
You really need to give your good son a good beating.
I used to love him a little too much!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Since Zhang Zhongye, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is old and frail, and now suffers from injuries, he may not be able to handle complicated affairs. We are now allowing him to return home for one year to recuperate, and the affairs of the ministry will be handed over to him." It will be handled by the new Minister of Rites, Yang Fan."
After speaking, Li Shimin flicked his sleeves and robe, stood up and left directly.
Li Tai was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be self-defeating and get Zhang Zhongye involved.
If Zhang Zhongye was also kicked off, then there would be very few hairs left in his position in the Ministry of Rites.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Li Tai was disappointed, but Changsun Wuji was extremely happy.
Although Yang Fan was not disgusted, and Yang Fan's power further increased, it was an unexpected surprise to see Wei King Li Tai's power weakened.
In Changsun Wuji's view, Wei King Li Tai was the real opponent.
As long as the obstacle of Wei King Li Tai is removed, Prince Li Chengqian can successfully ascend to the throne. By then, it will be easy to deal with Yang Fan.
Everyone had different thoughts, but seeing that Li Shimin left first, of course they couldn't stay in Tai Chi Hall anymore.
Cheng Yaojin and others scolded their naughty children with a bad face.
However, Li Ji, who had never interacted with each other before, said something without beginning or end when passing Yang Fan, which made Yang Fan puzzled for a while!
Yang Fan couldn't figure it out and didn't think too much about it. The road was naturally straight to the front of the mountain anyway, so why did he think about it so much.
Finally, everyone goes back to their respective homes to find their own mothers!
