Chapter 53 The storm is about to come

 PS: Thank you for your great support!!

****

Seeing Wei Zheng looking like he was going to kill you today if he didn't give an explanation, Li Shimin was a little confused and his eyes drifted to Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin, hoping that they would help him.

But these people had nothing to do with themselves and were counting ants with their heads down, not seeing his hint at all.

This couldn't help but make Li Shimin furious. Damn it, it was your boys who were fighting, but now it is me who is being troubled by the censor. Is it easy for me to be an emperor?

Although he was filled with resentment, he still had to explain, so he said helplessly: "Wei Aiqing, why is it that the situation I learned is different from what you said? Envoy Fusang made a mistake first, but how come it is completely different when it comes to your mouth?"

Regarding Du Feng, Li Shimin can attack forcefully without giving up face, but Wei Zheng cannot. The more you fight against this old troll, the happier he will be.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, his mind was spinning, and he immediately realized that he was being used as a gunman.

However, he did not flinch at all. As a remonstrator, his head could be cut off and his blood could be shed, but he could not admit his mistakes.

"Your Majesty, I just want to know, did the Wannian county uncle lead someone to beat the envoy? I asked someone to verify that Deputy Envoy Fusang was indeed beaten and disabled. This incident triggered a joint petition from all the envoys of the vassal states.

As a minister, it is my duty to give advice."

Wei Zheng did not ask about the cause of the matter at all, but firmly grasped the fact that Yang Fan beat the envoys, and explained that the beating of the envoys aroused the anger of the envoys of the vassal states. Today's remonstrance was due to the envoys of the vassal states.

petition.

The meaning is obvious, look, beating the envoy caused a chain reaction, you have to give an explanation, otherwise how can you convince the public.

For a moment, Li Shimin didn't know how to reply. Should he use Yang Fan's rhetoric? This kind of thing can only be understood but not widely publicized, and it is not suitable to be put on the surface.

"County Bo Wannian did indeed beat the Fusang envoy, but I have already said that this matter was because the Fusang envoy was at fault first, so there is no need to pursue it further."

Wei Zheng became even more excited when he heard this, so he continued: "There is no small matter in the relations between countries. As a great dynasty, we must convince people with reason, rather than just talk. If your majesty can let whoever wants to be let go, then where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? I

I urge your Majesty to arrest Wannian County Bo immediately and hand him over to the three departments for trial."

"If County Count Wannian is not wrong, the Third Division will certainly clear his name. Your Majesty is acting arbitrarily and wants to be a foolish king who will subjugate the country. As courtiers, we will definitely not agree to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the court knelt down in an uproar, demanding a retrial of Yang Fan's beating of the Fusang envoy. This made Wei Zheng even more sure of what he was thinking. How could he usually have such great appeal? Someone was obviously treating him as a gun.

Let him take the lead.

Looking at the courtiers, Li Shimin knew clearly that these people were just like him before, still enjoying the good feeling of having come to court from all over the world. Of course, there were some behind-the-scenes pushers among them.

In the past, Li Shimin would have been able to swallow the anger in his heart when he was wronged, but this time, it was clear that the truth was on his side.

As an emperor, doesn't he just ask the government to let someone go?

It's really infuriating that you, an old troll, are still on the job and online, so disrespectful to others.

Then he looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "As the emperor, do I need to report to you if I let someone go?"

I saw Wei Zheng rebuking loudly without fear: "Faint Lord, as long as I am here, Duan Ran will not let you do that stupid thing."

Li Shimin was immediately stupefied by Wei Zheng's scolding. No one could accept the old troll's words, which made him sound like a foolish king and a king who had subjugated his country.

Wei Zheng used to criticize him a lot, but it was rare for him to be as venomous as he was today.

Li Shimin's inner anger could no longer be suppressed, and the ground suddenly burst into flames, and he said angrily:

"Wei Zheng, you are an old man, you are a coward and a subjugated king. Do you want to rebel? You have insulted me and provoked me again and again. Do you really think you dare not chop off your head?"

Wei Zheng held his head high and his chest high, with a proud look on his face: "If you will be beheaded for telling the truth, then your Majesty is a foolish king. Besides, if I was afraid of death, I would not stand in this court."

"As the saying goes, good advice hurts the ears but helps the deeds. If your majesty doesn't even dare to listen to the truth or can't listen, you can kill me directly. I won't even frown, but your majesty will be infamy for the ages, and I will definitely leave my name.

Qing Shi."

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Shimin was so angry that he trembled. He pointed at the old troll and laughed angrily, shouting loudly: "You ignorant old man, you want to die so much, don't you? Come here, give this old man to me."

If you capture it, you will immediately put it into the Heavenly Prison and behead you at the Meridian Gate on a certain day."

After hearing Li Shimin's order, the guards in the palace quickly stepped forward to arrest Wei Zheng. At this time, all the civil and military officials were frightened and began to plead for him.

In fact, this is not the first time that Wei Zheng has been angry with Li Shimin, but this is the first time that such a vicious tongue has reached such a tense point. Could it be that Wei Zheng was beaten to death.

Don't look at the fact that everyone is pleading for him now. In fact, this old troll has no friends at all in the court.

The relationship with any official in the court was not close, and could even be said to be very bad. This is why the family fortunes declined rapidly after Wei Zheng's death.

It is easy to understand why the civil and military officials interceded for him. In fact, the civil and military officials had to intercede for him.

Because as a remonstrator, if Wei Zheng is convicted for his words, it will set a precedent for the Tang Dynasty to be convicted for his words. This precedent cannot be set, otherwise everyone in the court will be in danger in the future.

Li Shimin was obviously very angry. Even if the officials begged for mercy, he was uncharacteristically arbitrary and angrily shouted: "You, like Wei Zheng, think that I am a foolish king. Do you have to insult me ​​a few times before you are willing to do it? If I see anyone again,

If he pleads for mercy, let’s go into the prison with him and reflect deeply.”

Seeing Li Shimin's rage, all the civil and military officials did not dare to say anything. Wei Zheng was soon dragged off by the guards.

While being dragged down, Wei Zheng kept shouting that Li Shimin was a coward.

Seeing this situation, Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, then stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng is old and comatose, and his words are incomprehensible. I hope that your Majesty will extinguish the wrath of thunder to avoid harming himself."

"Today's court dispute was caused by the beating of the Fusang envoy. It would be better for the next court meeting to order Yang Tong, the magistrate of Chang'an County, to submit a memorial stating what happened to clear up the confusion of the officials."

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly. Fang Xuanling's words were reasonable and well-founded, but they were obviously a delaying tactic, hoping to temporarily overturn Yang Fan's beating of the envoy.

Today was originally intended to cause trouble, and of course he didn't want to end the matter hastily. He was about to object in words, but he had just taken half a step forward.

After Li Shimin heard the word "quasi", all the civil and military officials responded "Your Majesty is wise".

Changsun Wuji sighed, knowing that the situation was over, so he could only quietly pull his feet back.

However, I secretly lamented that none of these old guys in the court were simple people.

Wei Zheng seemed to be acting recklessly today, but he was actually very witty. This old troll must have seen that Li Shimin didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so he deliberately angered Long Yan.

This trick is really useful for protecting oneself wisely and retreating bravely from the rapids.

However, Changsun Wuji was worried. Wei Zheng was so cooperative with Li Shimin. Could it be that the Guandong family wanted to intervene in the court dispute again? This was not a good sign.

Although the Shandong Family has been suppressed by the Guanlong Family for more than ten years, a tiger is a tiger and cannot be underestimated at any time.
