Seeing Li Tai's gloomy eyes, Fu Quangui looked at it clearly and gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Your Highness, it's all the fault of Fang Er's mallet. If it weren't for him, Your Highness and the Fusang envoy would not have been beaten. Your Majesty." I won’t let that guy off lightly!”
Li Tai glanced at this guy speechlessly. He didn't say anything, but his eyes looked like he was looking at an idiot.
Can't you forgive me?
If Li Er wanted to punish Fang Jun, he would have punished him long ago. Why did he need to call someone?
Father obviously wants to minimize the big deal...
Besides, it was the housekeeper who caused such a big fuss.
If this guy didn't rely on his status as the palace's steward, Fang Jun obviously wouldn't be so reluctant.
However, it has become an established fact that he was beaten by Fang Jun. If word spread, Li Tai would be embarrassed.
For a moment, Li Tai's face turned red with embarrassment, and he completely hated Fang Jun.
At this moment, several ministers hurriedly walked in from outside Chengtian Gate.
When Shao Qun passed by Li Tai, he glared at these people several times before entering the Tai Chi Hall directly.
One of them shrank his head and said with a grimace: "It's over now, your Majesty actually invited our dad here..."
"Oh, it seems... I'm going to be beaten to death when I get home now."
For a moment, this group of dandy boys, who had been beaten up and had their faces swollen, looked grim.
Originally they thought Li Er would let them go with a few scoldings.
Who knew that parents would really be invited!
They were completely panicked!
According to past experience, Li Er would never go to war in such a big way.
But now that the parents have been invited, what should we do now?
Usually these people do not do their jobs properly, and what they fear most is causing trouble and being known by their family members.
Now it was obvious that he couldn't hide it, and everyone looked sad.
It seems that things today may not be good.
Not to mention how His Majesty Li Er dealt with it, a family meal was inevitable after returning home.
At this time, Fang Jun was also depressed because he also saw his father Fang Xuanling.
The old man didn't even look at him when he passed by him, which made Fang Jun a little uneasy.
It seems that this father is really angry.
With Fang Xuanling's rigorous and old-fashioned temperament, it was inevitable to receive a scolding when she returned home.
Fang Jun complained a little about Li Er. If he did something wrong, he would go to his parents. Is that okay?
It's so disgusting.
Of course, Fang Jun was not the only one who had this idea. All the dandies who participated in the fight also had this idea.
…
In the Taiji Hall, His Majesty Li Er sat on the throne, scanning the ministers in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes.
"I just told you about today's matter, how do you think it should be handled?"
Li Er's tone was calm, but there was a little helplessness and anger in his tone.
As a prince-in-law, Fang Jun actually fought with his own son again and again after his meritorious service. How unbecoming is this?
Although Li Er valued Fang Xuanling very much, Fang Jun slapped him in the face again and again, which really made him a little worried.
If you don't punish Fang Jun at all, won't there always be people who will imitate him in the future?
Besides, the envoy Fusang was beaten and disabled, which had a very bad impact. A punishment must be made to give an explanation to all the envoys of the Fan Kingdom.
But after hearing what happened, the people who came to the hall were silent for a while.
Among these people were several ministers of the DPRK and China, and the others were parents who participated in today's fight. Everyone was a little embarrassed.
It's a bit embarrassing for your child to get into trouble and be criticized by the emperor!
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, he should be punished according to law."
As the head of civil servants, Fang Xuanling could only stand up and express his attitude first.
"We agree with the Prime Minister's view..."
With Fang Xuanling taking the lead, everyone spoke out one after another, saying that they would handle the matter in accordance with the law without any complaints.
Of course, no one present had any complaints.
Of those who participated in the fight, only Fang Jun was not injured, while the others were more or less injured.
If punished severely in accordance with the law, Fang Jun will certainly bear the brunt.
Although they were unhappy with their son's frequent troubles, they still hoped that his son would be punished less harshly.
Seeing everyone throwing the question back, Li Er smiled coldly.
Punished severely according to law?
Beating the envoys of Fusang Kingdom, beating the prince, gathering people to fight...
If it were judged according to the Laws of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Jun would have died several times.
If Fang Jun is really killed, it doesn't matter whether Fang Xuanling does it or not, but the label of "treating heroes harshly" will definitely be pinned on his head.
Li Er would never do such a stupid thing.
Besides, Fang Jun not only solved the drought problem in Guanzhong for him, but also saved the life of his eldest grandson Wugu.
If he is severely punished, the people will definitely nail him as the emperor to the pillar of shame.
What's more, he, Li Er, is not a person who repays kindness with hatred.
There was no other way, Li Er could only turn to Chang Sun Wuji and ask: "Auxiliary machine, since everyone agrees to handle it according to the law, then this matter will be left to you to handle?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji trembled and quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, I am the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This kind of matter is not under the control of the ministers. You should find someone else to do this..."
After saying that, Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes as if it had nothing to do with him.
No wonder Changsun Wuji was like this.
If Fang Jun is punished too severely, Fang Xuanling will definitely be dissatisfied.
If the punishment is light, it will make Li Tai unhappy.
Of course he didn't want to get involved in such a thankless thing.
Li Er's face turned dark!
He originally wanted to pass the blame, but this old cunning guy didn't accept it at all... But he had no choice but to turn his attention to other people.
However, after watching for a long time, no one came forward to take responsibility, and Li Er's face became increasingly ugly.
Everyone also knew that they could not do it without speaking, but in the end, Wei Zheng stood up.
Wei Zheng has a thin face, a gray beard, and a clear temperament. He has a pair of sharp eyebrows, high cheekbones, and a broad forehead, but he has a calm and resolute expression.
Bowing to His Majesty Li Er, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, Fang Jun beat the Fusang envoy and had a conflict with the King of Wei in the street, which had a very bad impact."
"But there is a reason for the incident, and it should be treated leniently. In order to calm down the matter as soon as possible, in my opinion, it is better to order the two parties, Fang Jun and King Wei, to be banned for one month as a respectful example."
"As for the envoys of Fusang Kingdom, they brought it upon themselves and they deserve it. This is a lesson learned. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Li Er sighed secretly.
He didn't expect that the person looking for him to step down would be Wei Zheng, who often caused trouble for him.
However, this is also the purpose of finding so many ministers.
Because Li Er couldn't come up with this method of lifting it high and letting it fall gently.
Besides, the people who were beaten today included Wei Wang Li Tai.
Although he was very dissatisfied with his son today, Li Er didn't want this matter to cause a fuss.
Only cold treatment is the best way.
When time passes, everyone will gradually forget about this incident, and Li Tai's prestige and face will not be too damaged.
However, there were some attitudes that Li Er had to say. After a moment of reflection, he said: "That being the case, in Wei Aiqing's opinion, Fang Jun and Wei King Li Tai are confined at home and are not allowed to go out for one month!"
"As for other people involved in the fight, please copy the Book of Rites ten times!"
