Wen Yanbo's scalp was numb. After this guy filed eight memorials and disappeared into the sea, why didn't he go find Wei Zheng? He and Wei Zheng were good friends!
Could it be that this grandson wanted to take revenge on him? It was he who persuaded this grandson when the Supreme Emperor robbed his wife.
But for the present plan, the only way to go is to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime of negligence. Please punish me severely."
Li Shimin looked at Wen Yanbo for a long time, and then said coldly: "You are Zhongshu Ling, my eyes and ears... This is extremely ridiculous."
"The Ministry of Education needs to be reorganized. I am blind and deaf!"
"Ma Zhou, I leave this matter to you. Find out why such a bad thing happened."
Ma Zhou bowed to accept the order and glanced at Wen Yanbo, now he was in for a good show.
"Liu Qing, tell me."
Everyone immediately became alert and looked at the jokester Liu Xingmin. This guy dared to mock anyone except His Majesty.
Usually he just writes a poem to ridicule, but today His Majesty gave him the opportunity. Who the hell knows whose dark history will be revealed.
Liu Xingmin was still trembling just now, but now he walked into the hall with a swagger as if he had been given a shot of blood.
"Your Majesty, I have two sons and three daughters. The two dogs followed the King of Shu to Longxi to win glory for me. The eldest daughter is married, the three daughters are waiting in the boudoir, and the youngest daughter is still in her infancy..."
Li Shimin: "..."
This guy wasn't very good at writing poems, but the poems he wrote were all about criticizing others. He even mocked Yang Wenguan, the minister of household affairs, and Du Shanxian, the former magistrate of Chang'an County, but they couldn't do anything about him.
Today, he needs someone like this to stir things up.
"Your Majesty, as the parent official of Chang'an County, I have failed to trust His Majesty and failed to live up to Your Majesty's expectations. I am guilty..."
Then, the old black man rolled up his sleeves, looked at everyone, and said indignantly: "I am guilty, but are all the superior officials not guilty?"
Sure enough, Lao Heizi fired at the big guy.
"Let's just say that in your eldest son's family, the servants dare to threaten and beat even the subordinates under you. Is there any law? Is there any royal law?"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
Damn it, why did I suddenly lose my temper?
"The son of Mr. Zuopushe, in front of the ministers, snatched away my daughter who was waiting for marriage. I went up to argue, Mr. Fang, guess what?"
Fang Xuanling's vision suddenly went dark. This traitor has no women in the world, yet he wants to touch the daughter of Lao Heizi's family?
Fang Xuanling quickly cupped her hands and said, "County Magistrate Liu, this old man is incompetent in teaching his son, so please be merciful."
"Your son said in front of me that my father is the prime minister and you are nothing like a county magistrate!"
"But I, this county magistrate, is a minor official, but he is also an official of the imperial court. It is a document issued by His Majesty the Minister of Secretariat and canonized by His Majesty himself."
Everyone: "..."
Fang Xuanling wanted to dig out three rooms and one living room with her feet and lock herself up. It was so embarrassing and embarrassing.
In his mind, he had already applied for a first-level disability certificate for his son.
"Master Liu, after the court comes, I will definitely take the traitor with him, break his legs, and come to make amends to you."
The old black man Liu Xingmin snorted: "I dare not bother you, Lord Pushe. I am just a small county magistrate, and I am not worthy of my duties! I am nothing!"
Lao Heizi began to look for targets again, and whoever he saw would tremble in his heart.
"Since Your Majesty said that today we will only talk about family affairs and not state affairs, then today I will speak out clearly."
"No one here is innocent, everyone is guilty."
"What the county magistrate, my old minister, did was really cowardly and aggrieved..."
"Firstly, I cannot make decisions for the people, and secondly, I cannot be loyal to His Majesty. Even my own family is being threatened."
"It is said that the Chang'an County Magistrate is a popular person. Once he takes the post of Chang'an County Magistrate, he will be promoted to the top. He can be the governor of the three provinces, participate in the government, and criticize Fang Qiu..."
"But I think that being an official is also a conscientious job. If you have a dark heart, you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune."
"But if you want to live up to your own conscience, you have to offend your nobles. In this city of Chang'an, throwing a stone can kill three or five nobles. Even if the sun and the moon shine on my heart, I still can't do it." The people make the decision, and there are always some people with evil intentions who will protect their shortcomings..."
"Some people with a bad heart say that I often criticize others, ridicule others, and ridicule others. Is that mocking me?"
"It's just the truth. If you do something that offends your conscience, you don't want others to tell you. What's the point?"
"Your Majesty, I want to ask you to resign. I can no longer do my job as a county magistrate."
As he said this, Liu Xingmin took off his official hat and presented it with both hands.
Li Shimin's eyes twitched when he heard this. This old man really dared to say anything. It's just that I saw that you dared to fight with nobles, so I made you the magistrate of Chang'an County.
If you don’t do it, who will?
"I'm not allowed!"
Liu Xingmin: "???"
Liu Xingmin was dumbfounded. Why was it not allowed?
He had risked his life to get rid of the county magistrate, and he had had enough.
"Your Majesty, I really don't have the ability to be the county magistrate."
"How about... if you demote the minister to a remote place, even the Lingnan minister would be willing to go."
Li Shimin almost laughed out loud. How wronged he must have been. He would rather be demoted to Lingnan, where there would be a narrow escape from death, than become the magistrate of Chang'an County.
Li Shimin stood up, looked at the ministers, and said angrily: "Look, look... This is still the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Are other places like hell on earth?"
"Are you all so arrogant and domineering?"
"Everyone regards me as a blind man. I just want you to follow me to conquer the world. There is no credit but hard work. I just turn a blind eye..."
Everyone immediately bowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down and I will admit my guilt."
Li Shimin said angrily: "Liu Bang conquered the world back then, how about the ministers who followed him to conquer the world?"
"How about I wait for you?"
"I am still thinking that it will not be easy for you to follow my father and conquer the country of the Tang Dynasty with me. I will build a Lingyan Pavilion in the palace to pass on your great achievements and let your descendants know. How heroic their ancestors were..."
"I am disappointed today."
"Retreat!"
All the ministers were soaked in cold sweat, especially those who had evil intentions, whose family members had oppressed the people, or were engaged in illegal business for profit...
Only Wei Zheng and Ma Zhou stood upright and ate the melon with relish.
"Your Majesty, I want to retire and return to my hometown..."
When Liu Xingmin saw His Majesty about to leave, he suddenly became frightened.
Today he has stirred up a hornet's nest. The nobles in Chang'an City already hate him to the core. It is estimated that his family's ancestral graves may be abandoned.
Let alone his safety and the safety of his family.
Sooner or later, he will die tragically in Chang'an City.
Li Shimin turned around and said coldly: "Shut up!"
"I will appoint you as an official, no matter how young you are. If Chang'an County doesn't change its mind, I will take your head."
Liu Xingmin: "..."
After retreating from the court, when everyone walked out of the palace, it was already midnight, and the moon was very bright, illuminating the entire city of Chang'an, which was very warm.
