Li Shimin was troubled by his previous actions, and sighed: "The two beloved ministers are right, and it really makes it difficult for me. However, the laws of the Tang Dynasty have to be followed. If you do anything at will, it will not mess up the rules of the court."
After saying this, everyone spoke out one after another and said that they would obey His Majesty's handling without any complaints.
No complaints? Let yourself handle it?
Li Shimin certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing, but he said this because he wanted people to find a way out, so he started practicing Tai Chi directly.
"Wuji, since what I just said, this matter will be handled by you. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, since we have already been punished with a rod, the next step is to exile the army and behead the beheading. What do you think?"
Changsun Wuji was taking a nap with his eyes narrowed proudly. Hearing this, he trembled and quickly shook his head, secretly scolding Li Shimin for cheating him.
If it's okay to trick someone in the dark, but if you really ask him to execute it directly, wouldn't it be an obvious offence?
Didn't you see Cheng Yaojin, Li Daozong and Fang Xuanling staring at you?
What's more, Li Shimin obviously doesn't want Li Tai to be severely punished.
Not to mention Li Shimin, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, they are all big guys who are no worse than him.
He wanted him to go out, but there was no way. Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji quickly refused.
"Your Majesty, I caught wind and cold occasionally two days ago, which made me dizzy. I almost fell asleep just now. I am planning to take three days off tomorrow to recuperate. I hope your Majesty will allow me to do so."
After saying that, he just closed his eyes and said nothing as if he was taking a nap.
"This old fox..." Li Shimin cursed secretly, his face turned dark.
Why do you look so sick?
With a fat head, big ears, and a rosy face, how many civil and military officials in the dynasty have a better body than you?
But there was nothing he could do about Changsun Wuji. After all, he was his brother-in-law, so he had to give him a fierce look.
This guy lit the fire and ignored it, which is totally unreasonable.
Li Shimin could only turn his eyes to the rest of the people.
Everyone was guessing what Li Shimin was thinking, and they were afraid that Li Shimin would be really angry and a little uneasy, so they didn't dare to speak for a while.
Seeing that Li Shimin's face was getting more and more ugly, everyone also knew that shirk responsibility would not work.
After exchanging glances, Li Ji stood up.
Li Ji was born in 594, which is now ten years since Zhenguan, and he is only in his forties this year.
This man has a broad forehead, a round jaw, and a thick beard, looking like a fierce general charging into battle.
It is not as elegant as historical records.
However, Li Ji's thick eyebrows and bright eyes seemed to be full of wisdom.
I saw Li Ji bowing to Li Shimin and saying: "This matter is not a big deal or a small matter. It mainly damages the image of the imperial court."
"Because many people saw it, this matter has a great impact. If not punished, rumors will spread among the people. However, if punished severely, it will damage the reputation of King Wei and the majesty of the royal family."
"In my opinion, it is better to drive the person involved out of Chang'an City with great fanfare and to be detained for a period of time. This way, Your Majesty will not only punish the person in accordance with the law, but also maintain the dignity of the royal family. When time passes, the incident will slowly fade away..."
Li Shimin sighed inwardly, this Li Ji was really quick-witted and could guess what he was thinking.
Indeed, if you don't give these gangsters some color, you'll be in trouble in the future, and if they make trouble every day, you'll have a headache.
But if the punishment is severe, Wei Wang Li Tai will inevitably be implicated.
Today, there were several waves of censors in the court asking for this matter, wanting to issue an order to let Li Tai go to the fiefdom.
Li Shimin had high hopes for Li Tai, his son.
Li Tai was originally used to sharpen Li Chengqian's knife. On the contrary, Li Chengqian was also a whetstone for Li Tai. Naturally, Li Shimin refused to let Li Tai go to the fief.
Because in Li Shimin's mind, only competition can lead to progress, and only pressure can lead to motivation.
However, now that Li Ji knew his intentions, Li Shimin naturally borrowed the donkey from the slope and immediately said: "Ai Qing's proposal is very good, so he sent Cheng Chumo, Li Jinghuan, Fang Yiai, and Du He out of the city. After leaving the city, they went to their own farm to introspect themselves.
You are not allowed to return to the city within one month;”
"The king of Wei, Li Tai, ignored the royal image and gathered a crowd to fight, so he was banned from the Wei palace for a month. As for the loyal uncle Yang Fan, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he did not demand himself according to the etiquette, but only used fists and violence. He was specially punished to copy the "Book of Rites" ten times.
, Because the court meeting is coming soon, the hosts and guests have heavy affairs, so they will not be banned for the time being. After the court meeting, they will be banned for one month."
Changsun Wuji's eyes twitched, but he did not refute again.
It seemed that each of them had a fifty-fifty hit, but in fact Mao Yong didn't have any, but he didn't dare to touch Li Shimin's head again.
The remaining ministers were dumbfounded!
what happened.
Copying the book ten times, even being banned from home can be postponed. Is this a punishment? Is Yang Fan his Majesty’s illegitimate son?
Li Tai was immediately stunned.
What the hell is this? Who is your biological son?
Feeling depressed, Li Tai of course refused to give up. He glared at Yang Fan fiercely and said, "Father, do you think the punishment of Uncle Zhongyi is unfair? The Minister of Rites, Yang Fan, has no regard for the king's laws and beat him in public."
It is a serious crime for the imperial court to appoint an official, how can it be uncovered so easily."
Li Shimin was unhappy. He thought his son had a high emotional intelligence, but he didn't know he didn't know how to advance or retreat.
Do you really think you don’t know why this is happening?
Besides, as an emperor who always sticks to his word, Li Tai questioned his majesty as an emperor in person like this.
You really need to give this good son a good beating.
I used to love him a little too much!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Since Zhang Zhongye, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is old and frail, and now he is suffering from injuries, he may not be able to handle complicated affairs. Now, he is allowed to return home for one year to recuperate, and the affairs of the ministry will be handed over to him."
It will be handled by the new Minister of Rites, Yang Fan."
After saying that, Li Shimin tossed his sleeves and robe, stood up and left directly.
Li Tai was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be self-defeating and get Zhang Zhongye involved.
If Zhang Zhongye was also kicked off, then there would be very few hairs left in his position in the Ministry of Rites.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Li Tai was disappointed, but Changsun Wuji was extremely happy.
Although Yang Fan was not disgusted, and Yang Fan's power was further increased, it was an unexpected surprise to see Wei King Li Tai's power weakened.
In Changsun Wuji's view, Wei King Li Tai was the real opponent.
As long as the obstacle of Wei King Li Tai is removed, Prince Li Chengqian can successfully ascend to the throne. By then, it will be easy to deal with Yang Fan.
Everyone had different thoughts, but seeing that Li Shimin left first, of course they couldn't stay in Tai Chi Hall anymore.
Cheng Yaojin and others scolded their naughty children with a bad face.
However, Li Ji, who had never interacted with each other before, said something without beginning or end when he passed by Yang Fan, which made Yang Fan puzzled for a while!
Yang Fan couldn't figure it out and didn't think much about it. Anyway, the road was naturally straight to the front of the mountain, so why did he think about it so much.
Finally, everyone goes back to their respective homes to find their own mothers!
