"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

The loud voice is uniform.

The solemn and dignified ministers in the Jiade Hall called for worship.

Li Chengqian, who was high in the throne, looked down at the hundreds of ministers and bowed to him like a scattered sea of ​​thought, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "All the ministers are flat!"

"Flat!"

Liu Kui raised her voice and spread throughout the hall.

The ministers then stood up and looked at Li Chengqian's chin slightly, waiting for Liu Kui to announce the start of the matter.

Dou Lu Xianchao held the ivory tablet in his hand tightly, which said that he would spit out Li Chengqian later. As a senior official in the third place, he stood up to the front. Looking at the young Li Chengqian on the throne, he felt disdainful.

In his opinion, what could Li Chengqian fight?

Li Shimin can fight even but was scolded by the ministers. Today, you can let you see how powerful I am.

Li Chengqian was wearing a crown dress today and had nine white beads hanging in front of him. The ministers looked down from below and felt that Li Chengqian's face was gloomy.

The prime ministers standing in front were a little worried, afraid that Li Chengqian would attack some ministers today.

Sure enough, they did not wait for Liu Kui to announce the decree to submit the memorial, but heard the serious voice of Li Chengqian on the throne.

"It is often said that 'If you have something to do with the superiors, you will have the greatest advantage.' However, the father and emperor ordered that the locals should not be tributed to the prescriptions. The orphan king and the princess and grandsons have a meal, which means four dishes and one soup.

Can it be considered frugal to act like this?"

The needles fell in the hall and the ministers looked at Li Chengqian in shock and wanted to know what he meant by saying these words.

Seeing that everyone was not answering, Li Chengqian was furious and slapped the table and shouted loudly: "What?

Isn’t it frugal to you that your father and the orphan king live like this?

Do you still have some people's hearts?"

Li Chengqian asked harshly, and it was like a thunder directly landing on the sky above the Jiade Hall, which shocked the ministers in the hall to the outside and the inside.

In the past, ministers taught the emperor ideological and political classes. In the eyes of some ministers, Li Chengqian should have been a clay-fetal wood carving. They just listen to whatever they say, which led to a series of struggles.

Now the two sides are still dead, and there is a stronger confrontation below. Who would have thought that the young Li Chengqian would teach them a lesson as soon as he came up?

"Your Majesty and His Highness love the people as if they were thrifty in the world, and they all believe them." The good man Yang Shidao quickly stood up to smooth things over for Li Chengqian.

But Li Chengqian was not grateful and snorted directly and said, "The father and the orphan king are known to be thrifty, but many ministers do not learn from the thrifty and thrifty of the father and the orphan king, but are greedy and insatiable to the people and their own wealth."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian stopped and patted the files on the table, narrowed his eyes and glanced at the civil and military ministers below.

The ministers standing in front felt a slump in their hearts when they saw it. They knew that Li Chengqian would definitely fight back, but they thought that Li Shimin's illness would be cured soon. As long as Li Shimin came out, they could stop Li Chengqian's counterattack, but they didn't expect that Li Chengqian would act so quickly...

Gao Shilian was afraid that Li Chengqian would cause trouble now to intensify the conflict, so Li Shimin was sick and no one would end it. He took advantage of this slightest to make a comment: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, your highness will be promoted to discuss state affairs, but it is better to let the civil and military ministers report state affairs."

How could Li Chengqian stop now!

Hearing this, he glanced at Gao Shilian and said coldly: "The administration of officials is a state affairs."

After saying that, he didn't give him a chance to speak again. He picked up a file and knocked it hard on the table twice, and shouted loudly: "Among you an official holds a salary of 720 pounds given by the court, 90 pounds of vocational land and 20 pounds of Yongye land. He was not satisfied with sending the housekeeper to grab a mulberry field from the people next to him.

If someone didn't give it to him, he would beat the men in his family to death. His wife and daughter went to his house to cry and told him that he actually fell in love with his daughter and snatched her daughter into his bed!"

The amount Li Chengqian said was the actual salary and partial welfare of third-rank officials in the Tang Dynasty. The ministers in the hall were shocked to know that!

ah!

The court immediately exploded.

How can such a thing be said in the Great Court!

In the past, even if there were officials who bully the people, officials would not mention the emperor even if they didn’t mention it. At most, they would punish them with some conscience.

When Wu Zetian was in the midst of the struggle, some of the gentry's crimes were rebellion, and the crimes of infringement on the people were found only after they were punished. They were just to find more reasons to punish these people.

But once such a thing is said in the great court, it is a huge matter. Confucianism always emphasizes that benevolent people love others.

No matter how the nobles of the ruling class treat the people as nothing, as long as such a matter is made public, the officials involved will not end well.

All the officials were talking in a low voice below, sighing, feeling that this official's actions were extremely guilty...

Just as the ministers were still talking, Ju Suiliang stepped out and bowed to Li Chengqian, and said loudly: "That is simply crazy to act. Please tell His Highness the Crown Prince who should punish him severely!"

When the ministers heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they all came out to ask Li Chengqian to severely punish this person.

"A person who is so shameless must be punished."

...

...

Li Chengqian looked at the performance of the ministers below with a faint expression. The civil and military officials were excited for a long time and saw that Li Chengqian had no reaction at all. They couldn't help but gradually stop criticizing the high-ranking official and quietly looked up at Li Chengqian above.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled coldly and said, "Come and ask who is the orphan king?"

The ministers were stunned when they heard this and thought to themselves: Shouldn’t you ask?

"It is a crucial matter for the Crown Prince to select talents and appoint talents in the court. If such officials do not punish the court severely, they will be untrustworthy in the world. Could it be that the Crown Prince still needs to protect this minister?" Wei Renzhao, the Minister of Personnel, walked out and tried.

"I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to clearly tell who this person needs to be severely punished..."

When some low-ranking officials heard this, they thought Wei Renzhao realized that Li Chengqian was interested in defending this person, so they all spoke out to Li Chengqian to hand over the person.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian snorted angrily and asked coldly: "You probably forgot who is the king and who is the minister?"

This is accusing these ministers of losing their duty as ministers. The ministers who were listed were instantly petrified. I really don’t know why Li Chengqian said such a heavy word?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Chengqian said "um" heavily: "What does it mean not to speak?"

"I dare not!" Gao Shilian took the lead and bowed to Li Chengqian again.

"Don't dare?" Li Chengqian said as he stood up slowly, paced slowly in front of the throne, turned his head to look at the ministers bent down and said, "Dou Lu Xianchao, come out and talk about how you oppress the people in front of all civil and military officials?"

"ah!"

"How could it be him?"

...

...

Some ministers couldn't help but look up at Dou Lu Xianchao, who was pale-faced.

Dou Lu Xianchao could no longer stand, and slapped on him and said silently: "I will die, I will die..."

Li Chengqian didn't look at Dou Lu Xianchao, but looked at the civil and military officials who were still bowing to apologize and shouted: "You all know Taichangqing Dou Lu Xianchao? Lantian County is not far from Chang'an, right? So many of you officials are watching him do evil, and none of them dare to say a word. The people reported to the Lone King. You still have the face to come out and ask who this person is?"

"It's me who are dereliction of duty!" Gao Shilian once again led the way to admit his mistake.

Li Chengqian still ignored all the officials and directly called out: "It's okay for Wei Renzhao to others, how do you, the Minister of Personnel, evaluate officials?"

"I am negligent!"

The civil and military ministers in the hall also saw that Li Chengqian was holding the handle in his hand and they were definitely not opponents.

Don’t say anything: Chen Ping of the Han Dynasty told Emperor Wen of Han that his ministers were prime ministers, and he should ask the minor officials about these matters, but Emperor Wen of Han was speechless.

That's because Emperor Wen of Han had no foundation in Chang'an, and he had no choice but to deal with Chen Ping, and Li Chengqian was not Emperor Wen of Han.

Of course, Li Chengqian had to take advantage of his abilities, maximize his interests, and give the civil and military officials of the court a color, so that they could know that there was only one heaven above their heads, not the gentry but the imperial power.

"Rejection of duty means incompetence, but the Lone King doesn't think so. How could you be incompetent by the Wei family from Guanlong?"

"Your Highness, although Mr. Wei has outstanding abilities, he will occasionally neglect. How can he deny Mr. Wei's virtuousness just because Dou Lu Xianchao is alone?" Liu Ziyi, the young minister of Taichang, stood up and excused Wei Renzhao.

"Bang"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he grabbed the case file on the table and smashed it on Wei Renzhao's head, stared at him and said loudly: "You all look at how many officials are greedy and cruel to the people?"

The ministers slowly stood up and quietly looked at Li Chengqian, who had ferocious facial features, and then looked down at the case files scattered around Wei Renzhao and felt extremely frustrated. Li Chengqian did not talk about any etiquette or law.

Wei Renzhao also felt that Li Chengqian had a mistake in being a king. He did not pick up the case files on the ground, but slowly raised his hand and took off his official hat on his head and placed it on the ground. He said in a deep voice: "I am incompetent and I am not capable of being the Minister of Personnel. I dare not lick Yan Lianzhan anymore. Please resign from all official positions and go home to study behind closed doors."

After saying that, he saluted Li Chengqian again, meaning that I, Zhu Bajie, waved my hand and stopped serving me.

The ministers were also worried when they saw him, and they all felt that if he didn't leave, Li Chengqian would definitely humiliate him. No one expected that Li Chengqian had no intention of letting him go at all.

"Why do you have to resign from office if something happens?

Are you incompetent today?

Is it only today that I cannot be competent for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

Now that you have used so many officials wrongly, you have to go home and study behind closed doors?

What have you been doing?

You, a person who deceives the world, steals reputation and deceits, wants to leave?

The visitor took Wei Renzhao to Jiao Dali Temple for trial. How many dereliction of duty and abuse of power have he done over the years?"

After Li Chengqian's series of questions came out, all the civil and military officials looked at Li Chengqian in shock. No one expected that he could still hold him accountable like this?

"One of His Highness, the Crown Prince, works and serves as one person, and has nothing to do with Minister Wei. Please surrender one of the ministers, and die without regrets!" Dou Lu Chaoxian finally realized that he wanted to protect Wei Renzhao now, at least guarantee his freedom.

Li Chengqian stared at Dou Lu Xianchao and said, "You still have the face to speak. Look at the benevolence, righteousness and morality you wrote to the orphan king. Then look at the things you did, you are full of thieves and prostitutes. You are called disparate reasoning. If you lose the face of your eight generations of ancestors, the Lu family of Changli Dou and Murong family of Beiyan will be recorded in history books because of you."

The Changli Doulu family was originally the Murong family of the Northern Yan royal family. When they surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty, they changed their surname to Doulu. Li Chengqian scolded him like this and scolded him for several generations of ancestors.

"puff"

Dou Lu Xianchao, who was in his seventies, could no longer hold it back and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

But even so, the ministers in the hall did not look at him, but looked at Li Chengqian in shock. They really couldn't believe that the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty actually cursed the eight generations of ministers in the great court!

This is to be recorded in historical books!
