Chapter 142: Li Shimin's Murder
Li Chengqian's mind was spinning rapidly, but for a moment he could not understand why Li Shimin suddenly made a big turn of 180 degrees, but one thing is certain that Li Shimin would definitely not be kind to do this.
Immediately walked out and shouted: "I don't know what the son minister did wrong. Is the father going to punish him like this?"
What?
Li Shimin and the civil and military officials in the court were stunned by Li Chengqian's question. Then Li Shimin was furious and grabbed the case file on the table and smashed it down according to Li Chengqian's face, shouting: "You dare to ask if you are ignorant?"
"Bang!"
Li Chengqian was unable to avoid his legs and feet, and was hit by a thick stack of files. He looked up at Li Shimin in shock. The old ghost hurriedly pulled Li Chengqian away and was thrown away.
Li Daozong, Minister of Rites, Hou Junji and other ministers hurriedly bowed and prayed, "Please calm your anger!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince should go back to the Eastern Palace first and wait a few days before apologizing to Your Majesty." Ma Zhou hurriedly persuaded.
Li Shimin and Li Chengqian ignored the persuasion of the ministers. They stared at each other with big eyes, and neither of them was convinced.
After a while, Li Chengqian said quietly: "If you don't teach me, you will be punished."
Li Shimin's eyes widened when he heard this, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Li Chengqian with a high voice and shouted: "I dare to argue, then I ask you, what is it if you beat everyone to death with two hundred military sticks?"
Li Chengqian said lightly: "My son is openly tried in front of hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people, and then sentenced him to the extreme. It is just that the punishment of the scepter is a bit heavier."
"You! You!..." Li Shimin pointed at Li Chengqian and said "you" for a long time, but he couldn't speak, and he was trembling with anger.
"Although the prince's quibbling is enough to embarrass his mistakes, no matter how you argue, your Majesty's wise eyes are like a torch." Changsun Wuji walked out slowly and said.
What he meant was that although Li Chengqian could argue that he had not made any mistakes, Li Shimin was as keen as a wise man, and no matter how he tried, it was useless.
When Li Shimin saw Changsun Wuji come out, he slowly sat down and dropped his face aside and stopped looking at Li Chengqian.
When Li Chengqian heard Changsun Wuji's words, he suddenly turned around, paused a crutch, staring at Changsun Wuji like fire, and said, "Changsun Qing family, you are trying to avenge the crime. No wonder there are so many people outside who have been wronged. Today, even I, the crown prince, will suffer an unjust in the Liangyi Hall."
Seeing that Li Chengqian could no longer speak at this time, Changsun Wuji stopped talking and returned to the train, meaning that he wanted to make trouble and casually.
When Li Chengqian saw Changsun Wuji retreating, he was about to settle the score with Li Shimin, but saw the thin Xiao Yu snorting heavily and walked out and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince imposed severe punishment on the prisoner for no reason, causing dozens of people to die without waiting for Ming Zhengdian to punish him. Why isn't it considered a mistake?"
Li Chengqian sneered and said, "You are also the prince's tutor in Xiao Qing's family. Which Tang law stipulates that criminal officials are not allowed to be sentenced to a scepter?
Do you know how many people in the Tang Dynasty were tortured to death every year?
Why did Xiao Qing’s family feel distressed after these people died?”
Li Chengqian also realized that he wanted to accomplish his business, such as "gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and frugal" and "crown prince's demeanor". After all, he was unwilling to be a gentle and elegant vase for people to watch before ascending the throne. He was the one who wanted to do practical things.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes when asked by Li Chengqian. After a long time, he shook his sleeves and shouted: "Quote! Quiz!..."
"Enough, why don't you stop doing this?" Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore.
"The Crown Prince Cheng Qian's ritual has been lost before..."
"Father!" Li Chengqian interrupted him without waiting for Li Shimin to finish his words. Li Shimin was so angry that he was about to jump out of the back of the table and attack.
But Li Chengqian bent down and checked at least neatly the case files he had just smashed down. He looked up and signaled a little eunuch to pick them up, and then said lightly: "Father, this is what you just smashed down." This is a reminder to Li Shimin that if you want to say that you will lose your etiquette first.
The old ghost ran to Li Chengqian and helped him pick up the case files on the ground while quietly saying, "Your Highness, Prince, you can't make Your Majesty angry..."
Li Chengqian was also thinking about how to end today, but there was one thing that could not be lost today.
When Li Shimin and the ministers of Mandian saw Li Chengqian's intention, they were both shocked and angry. Not to mention that even the king and ministers could not make their father ugly like this?
I really don’t know how to describe Li Chengqian.
He handed the case file to the eunuch and said lightly: "Since the father thinks that it is inappropriate to beat someone to death by a slaughter, he should issue an edict, stating how many military sticks can be beaten to death by an official when he is a judge, so that these articles will be a permanent example in the future. Why bother to make things difficult for the ministers?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly in his heart and said angrily: "I want to educate you, a rebellious son today!"
Li Chengqian understood in his heart that Li Shimin was confused by someone and was looking for trouble. He sneered in his heart and turned around and I will deal with you together.
Li Chengqian remained silent on his face and said lightly: "My father never dared to disobey me. As soon as he came in, his father admitted his mistake when he said that he had said that he had said that he had been in the capital."
In Li Shimin's opinion, Li Chengqian's words were unrepentant and even more disappointed with him, but he still wanted to give him some advice.
So he said in a cold voice: "Do you mean to regret this way?"
Li Chengqian stuttered on his neck and said, "Then what does it mean to regret if you ask your father to teach your son? "
The ministers in Liangyi Palace were stunned when they saw the father and son. Is this the Emperor and the Crown Prince?
Why do you look like a scoundrel on the street?
By this time, Li Shimin was so angry that he had nothing to say, thinking that he would never see his son again in the future, so let him be arrogant for a while.
After a while, he said helplessly: "Chengqian, what do you think of this matter today?"
Li Chengqian said directly after hearing this: "It was nothing wrong today, but the Eastern Palace was ordered to judge the case and beat several prisoners to death. My father and emperor have already scolded his son ministers. What else is there?
As for the matter of Pingzhangyuan, stability of the government is a major national event, so please think twice.”
Seeing that Li Chengqian still wanted power at this time, Li Shimin sneered in his heart and said lightly: "I was the important minister of the court who used the imperial court to support Pingzhangyuan. As for you and the East Palace, it would be fine."
Li Shimin felt that he had never hated Li Chengqian as much as he did today. Even though he heard that Li Chengqian favored him last year, he felt that as long as he beat him to death, he would still be a good prince after he was beaten to death.
But just now, Li Chengqian was so blatant to fight for power with him. He was so blind that he asked him to set up a Pingzhang Courtyard in the East Palace. If he hadn't discovered it, he would have been spared by the rebels.
In the past, although Li Shimin wanted to depose Li Chengqian, he always couldn't bear to do it, so he delayed it again and again. But today if he could catch Li Chengqian with a big handle, he would have issued an order to depose him immediately.
Li Shimin thought of Li Chengqian's boldness and Zhang Qiang just now, and he was scared. Thinking of this, he got up and walked backwards...
After Li Shimin left, the eunuch announced the severance of the court. Li Chengqian and his ministers had to withdraw. The eunuch quietly brought Changsun Wuji to Ganlu Hall.
As soon as Changsun Wuji entered the Ganlu Palace, he heard Li Shimin shout loudly before he could salute: "You retreat!"
All the eunuchs in the palace retreated silently after hearing this.
"See Your Majesty!"
