At the same time, Dai Zhou also entered the palace overnight with the memorial.
Then, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, the doctor of the Yushitai, the minister of the household department, etc., took him back to the various ministries, and quickly entered the palace to plead guilty.
The implications of this matter are too wide. If you don't plead guilty in time, you may be affected by Chi Yu and become the unlucky guy.
In the Tai Chi Hall, quietly and under dim lights, Li Shimin was reviewing memorials. As the new year approached, good news came from everywhere. Taxes from various states and counties this year have increased a lot compared to last year.
Especially the eighteen prefectures in Longyou actually paid more taxes this year than several prefectures and counties in Youzhou.
In previous years, except for Qinzhou and Lanzhou, there were no taxes. It would be good if the court did not add money and food to them.
This war really made the Tang Dynasty rich, especially the prosperity of business in the northwest. Trade with the snow-covered plateau and grassland western regions was frequent, so business taxes naturally increased.
In the entire Jiangnan Province of Sichuan and Sichuan, this year has been a bumper harvest, and taxes have more than doubled compared to last year.
Now the taxes imposed to bring down Chang'an City are almost the same as those in previous years.
With food in hand and no panic in mind, there will be great potential for political affairs next year.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile.
Wang De walked carefully to Li Shimin. Seeing that Li Shimin was very happy today, the corner of his mouth turned up with a smile from time to time.
Then he boldly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Sikong asked to see you, but he was carrying a thorn stick, and the old slave asked him. He said not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and just report to you."
Li Shimin looked up with a bit of surprise on his face. The auxiliary machine came carrying thorns on his back. Could it be that his son of a bitch caused a big trouble again?
The son of a bitch from the auxiliary machine family is really non-stop, and he is even more troublesome than the three sons of his own family.
No matter what he has done that is so outrageous, just call him in first and ask him, so we can have some fun.
In recent days, my two sons have been very angry.
"Let him in!"
After Wang De went out for a while, he led Changsun Wuji in.
Changsun Wuji had already taken off his shirt and was carrying a thorn stick on his back. The thorn sticks had thorns on them and scratched the fat on his back.
With a thump, Changsun Wuji knelt down.
Li Shimin was shocked. Why did the auxiliary machine kneel down? Did his son really do something unforgivable?
Li Shimin stood up quickly. The auxiliary machine has been following him since the beginning of the incident. He has worked diligently along the way to assist him to this day. He has both credit and hard work.
Moreover, she is Guanyin's biological sister, and Changsun Wuji is his biological brother-in-law.
"Auxiliary engine, get up quickly, why are you doing this?"
Li Shimin stepped forward quickly and wanted to help Changsun Wuji up, but Changsun Wuji didn't want to get up. It was his eldest grandson's family who had done this, and he was already frightened at this moment.
"Auxiliary machine, please get up first. Today you are carrying thorn sticks on your back. It must be the child Yiai who caused trouble again, right?"
Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. Why didn't he think that this matter could be blamed on his son?
If Yiai did this, he already had a criminal record, and His Majesty would be more accepting of it. Selling tributes in the Changsun family restaurant and slaughtering cattle would definitely not be labeled as such.
And if he admits that he did these things and his son was not involved, then the matter will be more convincing, and he will be labeled as a rebel.
"Your Majesty, I...I have no way to teach my children, I am ashamed of Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, please beat me to death. I don't want to live anymore..."
Li Shimin was confused. What happened? What did your son of a bitch do? Tell me!
"Your Majesty, our eldest grandson's family recently opened a restaurant in Chang'an City. The business is also good, and it has contributed a lot to the eldest grandson's family's expenses. I will let my son go and experience it..."
"But it turned out that I almost vomited blood. He took the tributes from His Majesty and the Queen and he...he secretly got them to a restaurant and sold them..."
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this!
This auxiliary machine shocked him. He thought he had done something big and outrageous, and it was just a tribute. It was sold as soon as it was sold. The eldest son's family was now thin, so he and the queen had given him a lot of rewards.
If you can't use it, it's wasted.
"It's okay. I know you have a small family, so selling it won't be a waste. They are all my family members..."
Changsun Wuji was overjoyed. Sure enough, it was great to put the blame on his son!
"Your Majesty, if this happened, the guilty minister would give him a good beating and bring him to plead guilty. Your Majesty, for the sake of the old minister, would let this matter pass, but..."
"But... in order to make more money, the wealthy businessmen in the restaurant wanted to kill the cattle, so he had the cattle killed. Your Majesty, he killed the cattle. This is not allowed by the court. He committed a crime. Big crime!"
"Your Majesty, please beat the guilty minister to death. He is the one who failed to teach his son well, and then put the traitor in prison to question his crime..."
Li Shimin frowned, killed the cattle?
Although it is a national policy, it is considered illegal, but in Chang'an City, that noble family has not slaughtered a few cattle. There are so many cattle on the grassland now, does your son of a bitch have intentions?
"This matter..."
"Your Majesty, Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple, wants to see you..."
Dai Zhou is here, is it because of this?
"Let him in!"
Changsun Wuji secretly resented, Damn it, I have been working hard for a long time, but I am about to succeed, Dai Zhou, Dai Zhou, you are so good, you didn’t come earlier, you didn’t come late, but you came at this time!
Dai Zhou walked in slowly with a gloomy face. When he saw Changsun Wuji, naked to the waist, kneeling in the center of the hall, he had no sympathy at all. He just glanced at it and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou. Pass Your Majesty."
"Dai Qing is exempt from the courtesy."
"Your Majesty, I have something important to say today..."
When Li Shimin saw Dai Zhou's serious look, he immediately felt something bad in his heart. It seemed that something big had really happened.
"This afternoon, I took over a case involving His Royal Highness the King of Shu and His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched. Just now he was thinking of eating melon to watch the fun, but he didn't expect, really didn't expect that he would eat melon on his head.
Li Shimin's face turned cold instantly and he said coldly: "What's going on? Are those two traitors fighting again?"
"Your Majesty, the cause of the matter is this..."
So Dai Zhou told how Wang Tao from the Wang family in Taiyuan tried to rob the secret perfume recipe of the Prince of Shu's palace.
"Your Majesty, Wang Tao forcibly robbed the secret recipe of the Prince of Shu. When he was caught by the King of Shu, the damn Wang Tao actually poured dirty water on King Yue, saying that he was from the Prince of Yue's Palace, and that the robbery of the secret recipe for perfume was authorized by the King of Yue."
"The King of Shu did not believe that this matter was done by the King of Yue, and scolded Wang Tao. Wang Tao wanted to alienate the friendship between their brothers, and his heart was to be punished. The Wang family of Taiyuan placed rebellious officials and traitors like Wang Tao next to the King of Yue. The Wang family of Taiyuan It’s even more evil.”
"When I arrived, I captured Wang Tao and the thieves, and they are now being held in the prison of Dali Temple." ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
"However, when I was arresting the thief, someone jumped off the building and tried to escape. The people of Dali Temple, regardless of casualties, fought life and death with the escaping thief, and finally captured the escaping thief."
"It turns out that the escaped thief turned out to be the rebel leader left in Chang'an City by Prince Bozan of Tuyuhun. The Ministry of Punishment encircled and suppressed it several times, but this thief escaped. Unexpectedly, the sky net was so sparse that it ended up in Dali Temple. In hand."
"In order to prevent there being any thieves, I surrounded the restaurant and went to check it out personally. As a result, in order to attract attention and please those wealthy businessmen, this restaurant even ignored the court decree and slaughtered cattle privately..."
"This is in Chang'an City, under the emperor's feet, and the owner of this restaurant is simply lawless. This is because he doesn't take your majesty and the court in his eyes!"
"I was so angry that I ordered a thorough investigation of the restaurant. As a result, tribute wine and tribute salt were found in the cellar..."
Li Shimin's eyes were slightly red, and he stared at Changsun Wuji, who was shivering at the side.
Okay!
Auxiliary machine, you are quite smart. What your son of a bitch did was said lightly, and he almost deceived me!
You open a restaurant that slaughters cattle and sells tributes, that's all. But there is Tuyuhun in your restaurant who rebels against the party. This is unforgivable!
