In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin sat upright on the throne like a squatting sculpture, his face was as deep as water, but his heart was swelling.

Now he was in his heart that he was so angry about Li Chengqian, and his anger that he was fooled. He knew that Li Chengqian wanted to openly hear the case in front of Zhuque Gate, but he didn't expect that Li Chengqian was going to kill so many serious offenders in front of Zhuque Gate in front of all officials and tens of thousands of people.

He didn't even dare to think about this.

You should know that there are important officials of the court who colluded with the prince to rebel. If only a few local tyrants and evil gentry Li Chengqian was beaten to death, they would be beaten to death. However, if a prime minister-level figure like Cen Wenben was beaten to death by Li Chengqian today, who would dare to say no to Li Chengqian in the future?

Moreover, Li Shimin always believed that only the emperor could decide a person's life and death. In the Tang Dynasty, the serious offenders sentenced to death, they had to be executed after the emperor personally interrogated. This power was issued when Li Shimin was seriously ill and Li Zhi supervised the country. When Li Shimin was seriously ill, he also issued a special decree to explain that the appointment and removal of officials above the fifth rank and above must be decided by him.

But if Li Chengqian accidentally executed him, he would imagine how angry he was when he heard that Li Chengqian was going to beat more than a dozen serious offenders in public and each of them was 200 military sticks.

Moreover, Li Shimin really couldn't understand why Li Chengqian did this. What's the benefit of Li Chengqian doing this today?

If Li Chengqian wants to plot to rebel, then he should not have set up enemies everywhere.

It is impossible to say that the people around Li Chengqian gave him such an idea. Li Chengqian used both the seventh bachelor of Chongjiao Palace, Cheng Mingzhen, Xue Rengui, and Xue Dading, and Li Shimin knew very well that these people definitely did not have the courage.

Is it really because Li Chengqian is cruel by nature?

Think about it, Li Chengqian was not showing off his mountains and showing off his waters and kept a low profile in the Eastern Palace, and often sent people to assassinate several of his teachers. Now, Li Chengqian is naturally unable to tolerate people with different political views from him when doing things.

Thinking about Emperor Wen of Sui and Emperor Yang of Sui, who said in the court that the Sui Dynasty was the last two generations to perish. Could it be that the Tang Dynasty also wanted...

Li Shimin thought of almost all of Li Chengqian's shortcomings at this moment, and he thought of it for a moment that he wanted to take Li Chengqian to death immediately.

At this moment, the little eunuch came in and reported that His Royal Highness had arrived. Li Shimin immediately looked up at the entrance of the hall.

Li Chengqian limped into Liangyi Hall with a crutch, and floated from the corner of his eyes to the left and right. He immediately found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right. The ministers on both sides were standing, unlike the ministers who discussed affairs in Liangyi Hall before, sitting on Xiaowuzi.

Moreover, so many ministers did not make any sound here today, because when they entered the hall just now, everyone except him came in, so at this time, there was only the sound of his soles and crutches touching the ground in the entire Liangyi Hall.

"Tongpa-pa, shit-pa-pa..."

The sound was extremely rhythmic, and Li Chengqian felt agitation.

"Son, please see your father!" Li Chengqian bowed to Li Shimin to celebrate the ceremony.

"I..., please see Your Majesty!" Zhu Suiliang and others followed him to salute Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's face was still as deep as water, and he just looked at Li Chengqian without any expression for a long time.

Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable half-bearing and lowering his head, so he said resentfully: "Son-in-law, please see the father!"

Li Shimin still had no reaction, and it was possible to hear a needle falling from Liangyi Hall.

Zhu Suiliang, Xu Jingzong, Su Dingfang, and Li Yifu, who were standing behind Li Chengqian, knew that Li Shimin was really angry and were very worried. He wanted to remind Li Chengqian not to contradict Li Shimin today, but he did not dare to do anything at this time.

The palace was stalemate for a while, and Li Cheng couldn't help it and shouted loudly again: "Crown Prince Li Chengqian meets His Majesty the Emperor."

After calling Li Chengqian, he heard the ministers on both sides and Zhu Suiliang and others behind him gasping for air.

"Hmph! Do you still know that you are the crown prince?" Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Li Chengqian looked up at Li Shimin's cold face and felt a little strange.

Although Li Shimin rarely gave him a good face since Li Chengqian traveled through time, no matter how angry Li Shimin was, Li Shimin always had some emotions in his eyes, and the bottom of this emotion was to treat him as a child.

But at this moment, what he saw from Li Shimin's eyes was indifference and ruthlessness. Li Chengqian didn't know why Li Shimin had this emotion towards him.

He said carefully: "I wonder what the father, Emperor Xuan Erchen and others have come?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian and his group and said expressionlessly: "Why are there only four of the seven Grand Secretarys of Chongjiao Palace?"

Li Chengqian didn't know what kind of evil fire Li Shimin caused, but said calmly: "Return to the matter of Mr. Yan preparing for the recruitment of Chongxian Pavilion tomorrow. Ren Yaxiang and Hao Chujun are both on duty in Pingzhangyuan. The son minister has sent someone to spread them, and I think it's coming soon."

"Since they have not arrived yet, I will ask you first, why do you want to openly hear the case in front of Zhuque Gate?" Li Shimin's voice was still without any emotion.

Li Chengqian was prepared for this and immediately shouted loudly when he heard this:

The case was publicly tried in front of Zhuque Gate where my son ministers were located because in recent years, some noble families in our Tang Dynasty were unable to harm the people without any lawlessness, but local officials did not dare to interfere, which led to the accumulation of unjust cases and public grievances, and arrogance and ambition grew at the same time.

Father, please think about a prince who openly robbed and killed the emperor and prince of the current dynasty with only a few aristocratic families and a few thousand people around him. Cen Wenben's younger brother Cen Wenzhao was just a little proofreader. His casual words caused dozens of people in a family to be killed innocently and the real murderer was at large.

Cui Renshi was born in Boling, a prominent family, and he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality in the court. Who knew that he not only protected his son from committing murder and shooting people to death, but also indulged his son in accepting bribes to take lawsuits and created many unjust, false and wrong cases, which are still to be cleared one by one.

And Yu Zhining’s younger brother Yu Yongning, Changsun Jiaqing and others should not die?

The son minister publicly tried in front of the Zhuque Gate, and the verdict was to tell the people of the world that there was a justification for the Tang Dynasty and to tell some people not to do evil…”

As the saying goes, the words are appropriate. Li Chengqian thought he did nothing wrong in this matter, so he was intimidating as soon as he opened his mouth. Some ministers in the hall were also moved by Li Chengqian and nodded indifferently.

Li Shimin looked at the passionate Li Chengqian and his expression became more and more complicated. It was not until Li Chengqian finished speaking that he said heartbrokenly: "You are right, but the state has national laws and family rules. Since you have been publicly tried and sentenced to death, why do you still have to beat 200 military sticks?

You are the crown prince, how can you not comply with the laws of the country?

Even if you hate them to harm the people and want to punish the scepter, you just need to give your ministers a command. Why do you have to personally order this in front of hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people?

If these people in the world were beaten to death on the spot, how would they think of you?"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, all the ministers below took a breath. What was the emperor angry, and even said such words.

You should know that many senior leaders have a habit, that is, when they see the people below doing well, they will praise them in person, but if they see the people below doing poorly, they will go to your direct leader or people from relevant departments to criticize you or punish you.

There are two benefits to the leader doing this. One is to leave a good impression on the employees below and let him be the good people. The other is that he does not negotiate with the lower-level employees and is also worried that it will be difficult to vent his anger if he is scolded in person.

The emperors did this to preserve the image of a saint who never made mistakes. The ministers took the blame for the bad things and the evil ones.

As the emperor, Li Shimin naturally knew this well. Although he sometimes had no choice but to worry about his temper, this did not affect his desire to make his successor Li Chengqian do this well.

Seeing that Li Shimin was still educating him earnestly, Li Chengqian thought that Li Shimin had a little thunder and rain, so he didn't take it seriously.

Immediately bowed and bowed, "Thank you for your teachings!"

"Um!"

Li Shimin also calmed down and looked at the person who came with Li Chengqian again. When he saw Li Yifu holding the file in his hand, he said expressionlessly: "Since you have already made public trials and sentenced, then he will show me the file."

Li Yifu hurriedly heard this, "I'll tell you that the verdict has not been sorted out today. I'd better wait until I go back and sort it out before submitting it to Your Royal Palace for a visit."

Li Yifu had just heard from Li Shimin's words that Li Shimin didn't know that more than a dozen criminals had been killed by sticks, but the file was clearly marked. It was obvious that Li Shimin would not have any benefits to the East Palace at this moment.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, and an eunuch walked to Li Yi's mansion and took the case file in his hand and presented it to Li Shimin's desk.

Li Shimin waved his hand while picking up the file, saying, "You all return to their own positions!"

Only when Li Chengqian and the four great masters of the Confucianism went to their own positions, the little eunuch came in.

"I will report to Your Majesty, Yan Shigu, the Grand Secretary of the Chongjiao Palace, Ren Yaxiang, and Hao Chujun, please see you."

"Xuan!" Li Shimin said without raising his head. At this time, he was looking at the neatly arranged files placed by Li Yifu, and he was very satisfied.

But when he saw the first file, Sun Jiaqing, wrote in the back that he was killed by the torture, he hurriedly turned back, one by two... He died by the torture, and died by the torture...

The more Li Shimin looked, the heavier his breathing became. When he saw that Cen Wenben was also killed by a stick, his hands were trembling...

"My minister Yan Shigu (Hao, Ren) see Your Majesty!"

After a while, Li Shimin raised his face and said with a very calm voice: "The Crown Prince Chengqian acted boldly and corrupted the law and discipline. He closed his door to the East Palace to think about his mistakes. The minister of Chongjiao Palace, the minister of the Eastern Palace, cannot advise him. He did not have to be at Pingzhangyuan again from now on. He can teach the prince's poems and books in Chongjiao Palace every day.

Duke Xiao Yu of Song State was appointed as Feng Tejin and Sikong Changsun Wuji, who were in charge of Pingzhangyuan's handling of political affairs. Pingzhangyuan moved to the director of the Neike Provincial Committee in the north of Taiji Hall."

Li Chengqian and a group of subordinate officials in the East Palace felt like they were beaten up when they heard this, and Li Shimin rubbed them to the end.

Li Chengqian immediately felt a puzzled heart, what is Li Shimin going to do?
