Chapter six hundred and thirteenth disrespect in front of the palace
Although he was angry, Li Shimin could not get angry, otherwise no one would dare to remonstrate in the future.
Li Shimin understood very well the necessity of the existence of these officials.
These people are not good at arts or martial arts, but they love reputation very much. In order to gain a good reputation, they will find something to impeach them no matter what.
From the princes and nobles to the common people, there is no one they dare to impeach.
And Li Shimin also needs these officials to not be deceived.
Of course, it is impossible for all these officials to be upright, and Li Shimin cannot use them to punish them, but Baiqi is not a vegetarian. If he finds some problems, Li Shimin will have an excuse to punish them.
But this did not include Liu Yifu. Li Shimin once wanted to punish Liu Yifu and sent Baiqi to investigate Liu Yifu carefully.
However, the result was a bit unimaginable for Li Shimin. Baiqi investigated for half a month and the result was that there was nothing wrong with this person.
Li Shimin naturally didn't believe it and carefully looked at Baiqi's records of Liu Yifu's investigation.
Liu Yifu only had one daughter, and she married away from home a few years ago, and they usually only exchanged letters.
Usually after going to court, Liu Yifu would mostly stay behind closed doors when he returned home.
Except for a few old servants, Liu Yifu's family had no other servants, and the house was also very dilapidated.
Although the salary in the Tang Dynasty was not the highest in history, it was definitely a lot. With Liu Yifu's salary and some gray income, it was impossible for him to be so poor.
When Li Shimin saw this, he felt that Liu Yifu was a talented person who kept himself clean and did not interact with other officials, and his anger was relieved a lot.
But later, Li Shimin discovered that Liu Yifu had no ability at all. He didn't know anything about governing the country or military matters. He only had etiquette in his eyes.
So Liu Yifu is still an ordinary censor until now.
Although Wei Zheng was famous for his outspoken remonstrances, he was so valued by Li Shimin because of his unique insights in governing the country.
And Liu Yifu has no abilities, so he will naturally not be reused.
But such a person is more reassuring, so Li Shimin has no idea of giving Liu Yifu any shoes.
However, now Liu Yifu has come to trouble him again, making Li Shimin regretful that he should not have been soft-hearted in the first place.
No matter what you think in your heart, the most important thing now is to deal with the things in front of you.
"The Imperial Physician ordered that you should be very aware of King Wei's illness. Can you tell me, is King Wei suitable for a long journey now?" Li Shimin said calmly.
Imperial Physician Ling was dozing in the back when he suddenly heard someone calling him and was stunned for a moment.
In fact, imperial doctors don't have to go to court at all. They study how to treat diseases. National affairs have nothing to do with them, and they can't get involved.
However, many of the ministers were elderly. In order to avoid falling ill during the court session, several imperial doctors were arranged to attend court to deal with emergencies.
Imperial Doctor Ling could not remember the last time he spoke in court.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Wei is indeed not suitable for traveling and traveling for the time being. As for when he can, it depends on the recovery of His Highness the King of Wei." The imperial doctor ordered to come out and said.
Whether it was to please Li Shimin or not, this was all he could say at this time.
If he patted his chest to ensure that Li Tai's body had recovered, and Li Tai died on the road, wouldn't he be buried with Li Tai?
Li Shimin looked at Liu Yifu with a cold face and said, "Did you hear that? You asked me to order the King of Wei to become a vassal now. Do you want to kill the King of Wei?"
"I don't dare, it's just that it has been like this since ancient times." Liu Yifu was not afraid at all.
He has no son, and his daughter is married. Even if he angers Li Shimin, his daughter cannot be held accountable.
For him, there is nothing else he wants in this life, the only thing he wants is fame.
He is not afraid that Li Shimin will kill him. On the contrary, if Li Shimin wants to kill him, he will be happy and generously go for justice and go for the "righteousness" in his heart.
Being executed for speaking out against someone who committed a crime will definitely leave a mark in the history books.
For people like Liu Yifu, death is not terrible, as long as he can leave his name in history, death is enough.
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Of course I know that when the prince reaches adulthood, he should become a vassal. However, King Wei has been weak since he was a child and is recovering from a serious illness. To ask him to join the vassal at this time is undoubtedly to let him die. As a father, I feel in my heart
How can you bear it?”
"That's right, these things are His Majesty's family affairs. Don't care about your business. I see that you censors have nothing to do but have enough to eat every day. You impeach this and that on the basis of rumors that they are innocent." Cheng Yaojin
He said cursingly.
He was often impeached by these officials, although this was something he liked to see, and many of them were even done deliberately by him.
But what the civilian officials said during the impeachment made Cheng Yaojin feel that he had committed a heinous crime.
It is said that literati kill without a knife, Cheng Yaojin thinks it is not true at all.
"What kind of behavior is there for the Duke of Su to speak harshly and harshly in the main hall? Your Majesty, please punish the Duke of Su for being disrespectful."
Cheng Yaojin's words were equivalent to scolding the entire censorship, which naturally aroused the same hatred among the censors.
Even Wei Zheng's mouth twitched, his teeth itching from Cheng's bite.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin and said loudly: "It was disrespectful in front of Su Guogong's palace. Someone dragged him down and held him twenty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, sir." Cheng Yaojin didn't panic at all, thanked him with a smile on his face, and went out without waiting for the palace guards to come forward.
He was not helping Li Tai when he was born, but for Li Shimin. Now he seems to be punished, but he received this beating for Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin cannot reward him explicitly, this friendship must be recorded.
.
Moreover, those who carried out executions had received hints and could not actually execute them.
"Ah~ It hurts me to death."
Not long after, Cheng Yaojin's screams were heard outside.
Li Shimin's mouth was twitching. He had hinted at Li Mu, and Li Mu must have told him that it was impossible to fight for real. Even if you wanted to pretend, could you be so exaggerated?
He shouted that it hurt, but his tone was full of anger and there was no change at all. Anyone who wasn't a fool would know that something was wrong.
But no one questioned whether it was really a fight.
There is no other way. You can't just say that the person yelled too loudly, just say it was a fake beating.
You can't take off Cheng Yaojin's pants to see the injury.
"Your Majesty, it is understandable that King Wei needs to practice cultivation after recovering from a serious illness, but you can't continue to cultivate without an end, right?" Liu Yifu said.
He didn't want to push too hard. If Li Shimin really ordered Li Tai to become a vassal now, and he died on the road, he would also be responsible.
When the time comes, let alone Qingshi leaving his name, his life will be lost.
He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is such an unknown death.
"Imperial Physician's Order, please tell me, how long will King Wei's body need to be maintained?" Li Shimin said coldly.
The imperial doctor complained secretly, I'm just here to mess around, why bother involving me.
However, when faced with Li Shimin's words, he had to answer. He thought about it carefully and said, "Your Majesty, I estimate that about half a year will be enough."
He knew Li Tai's health very well. In fact, there was nothing serious about it now, but for the sake of safety, he still agreed to a time limit of one and a half years.
"Then order the King of Wei to surrender immediately and withdraw from the court in half a year!" Li Shimin stood up and left without giving everyone time to react.
