Chapter 23 A Great Achievement
It was Wei Zheng who wanted to impeach Li You.
At this moment, looking at Wei Zheng's black face, Li You suddenly became a little timid.
Wei Zheng is so famous. He is not only stubborn, but also has a strong lip service. The most important thing is that he is outstanding in talent and knowledge. When it comes to debate, Li You may not be the opponent.
Yin Hongzhi's heart was full of ups and downs today. Just now Li You impeached His Majesty, and he was already scared to death. Fortunately, His Majesty did not seem to be angry. His heart had just settled down, but Li You went to provoke Wei Zheng again.
"Oh, I am a good nephew. Sooner or later, I will be scared to death by him." Yin Hongzhi looked worried.
Since Li Chengqian, Crown Prince Li Chengqian, has been thinking about protecting him. When he saw Wei Zheng coming out, he said, "Mr. Wei, don't be angry, why would King Yiyang impeach you?"
Wei Zheng bowed and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, please let me talk to Your Highness the King of Yiyang." He interrupted Li Chengqian directly.
Li Chengqian naturally knew Wei Zheng's stubbornness, so he had to shut up and let Li You ask for more blessings.
Li Ke, Li Tai and their best friends all hoped that Wei Zheng could give Li You a hard blow so that he could let out a sigh of anger.
Now, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling both have some affection for Li You and are secretly preparing to help Li You speak.
Wei Zheng turned to Li You and continued to ask: "Your Highness, are you planning to impeach me?"
Li You suddenly felt a little guilty, but he was a good person. So he stubbornly said, "Yes, as a censor, you have the responsibility to manage the censor. Some censors are not doing their jobs, abuse their power, and falsely accusing good people. You are responsible for this matter."
Wei Zheng stared at Li You tightly.
Li You's heart began to shrink, and he wanted to find a corner to shrink.
When Li Ke and Li Tai saw Li You's appearance, they were amused and thought to themselves, "You are so stingy, just be dying."
Wei Zheng finally spoke, and he respectfully bowed to Li You and said, "Your Highness is right. I am indeed responsible for not being strict in discipline."
Then, he turned to Li Shimin and said, "I have committed dereliction of duty, so I would like to punish you."
"Ah?" The hall was silent.
Li Shimin was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wei Zheng, who was stubborn, did not refute Li You.
Li Tai and others felt like they had been having a while.
Yin Hongzhi was ecstatic.
Wei Zheng said seriously: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Yiyang, is right. The censor has the right to hear the news, but he should also investigate carefully and seek truth from facts. I must strictly demand and rectify the Censorate and strive to change the work style."
"Okay, Wei Aiqing said it well. Seeking truth from facts should be the code of conduct for all officials of my Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said.
Li You felt relieved, and he took a risk because he knew Li Shimin and Wei Zheng's character, knew that they had good character and would not care about him.
The impeachment incident passed. Li Chengqian also let go of his heart. He suddenly remembered the steamed buns. So he stood up and said, "Father, Li You, King of Yiyang, has a gift to offer to you."
Li Shimin was in a good mood at this time. He looked at Li You and said curiously: "What gift do you have?"
Li You said: "Father, you know that your son knows nothing and can eat. Therefore, he has studied a little in terms of diet. The son also wanted to help his father and the court, but he has never been able to do it. The prince's brother taught his son to use his cooking skills to serve the people of the world. The son suddenly realized, so he worked hard to study and lost a lot of his hair.
With the guidance of the prince's brother many times, the son-in-law finally developed a kind of delicacy that can solve some practical problems for the people."
"Oh? There is something like this? What kind of food? Tell me about it." Li Shimin said with interest.
Li You said: "Please ask Zhou Gan, the head of Xuan'erchen's mansion to meet him."
Li Shimin said: "Xuan."
Soon, Zhou Gan and others who had been waiting outside the hall brought in many cages.
Li You opened a cage with his own hands, and many round white prices appeared inside, and it was still steaming. He took a plate, picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks, and put it on.
Wang De came down and took the plate and delivered it to Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin tasted it, he felt very good. He asked, "Is this steamed cake?"
Li You said: "Yes, this steamed cake is made after fermentation of yeast. Compared with previous steamed cakes and Hu Biao, you can make more than twice as many steamed buns as a pound of noodles. It is delicious, easy to absorb, and does not increase the cost."
What he said is worthy of his conscience. Although fermentation requires a little alkaline noodles to neutralize, the amount is very small, and the cost of alkaline noodles is low and cheap. He thought to himself: "I donated the formula free of charge and made some alkaline noodles to make some money. It's OK."
Li Shimin nodded and said, "No, come on, you all try it."
Dear princes, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and other important officials tasted it and praised it endlessly.
Gao Jingming, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing. Without increasing expenses, the people's diet has improved so much. This is a great achievement."
Changsun Wuji naturally spoke, and he said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is concerned about the people. His actions by him and His Highness Yiyang are a great thing that benefits the people, and should be praised."
Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng did not participate in the fight between the princes. They were neutrals and judged the benefits that steamed buns brought to the people.
Li You said: "Father, after the son-in-law was developed, he originally wanted to sell it to make money, but the prince's brother taught the son-in-law to think about the people, so the son-in-law decided to donate it to the court for free."
Li Shimin was very happy and said, "Very good. As the crown prince, he should take the people of the world in mind and take the welfare of the people to heart. This matter is rewarded. Li You, the King of Yiyang, also has contributions to his research on diet, and should also be rewarded."
Li You didn't care about wealth, he said, "Father, my son has something to say."
Li Shimin said, "Tell me."
"Father, my sons have no talent, so going to court is a decoration. If that's the case, it's better to let the sons study food specifically. Maybe they can contribute to the court. Please allow the sons to stop going to court and concentrate on studying food. My sons promise that they will study new foods that benefit the people in the future."
Yin Hongzhi was so angry that he saw Li You doing this again.
At this time, Yan Liben spoke out, and he said, "Your Majesty, I think that Your Highness, the King of Yiyang, is reasonable. He is not good at governing the government and is proficient in winning the game. Why not use his strengths to make use of his strengths, perhaps it can really benefit the people." He really wanted to drive Li You out of the court.
Cen Wenben also wanted to do this, but he has always been cautious and would not take action without absolute certainty. He thought about it and still held back.
Li Chengqian quit, and he said: "Father, King Yiyang has solved the problems for the court many times and made great contributions. He should be allowed to stay in the court and continue to contribute to the father and court."
Changsun Wuji immediately said: "I agree with the Crown Prince's opinion, and King Yiyang should stay in the court."
"Buzzing" and there was another wave of discussion in the court.
Li You didn't say a word in the court, except for someone causing trouble for him, and he really didn't say a word, which was no different from the decoration. He asked him to study diet, and perhaps he could really play his strengths.
However, although Li You didn't say anything and encountered difficulties, he was able to come up with a unique solution. Li Shimin was a little reluctant to leave him.
Li Shimin was a little confused.
At this time, Wei Zheng came out to speak, and he said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the King of Yiyang, has great talent, and he should stay in the court to contribute to the court."
Now, Li Shimin made up his mind and said, "Li You, you must go to court every day, and study your knowledge at other times."
Li You was amused and cried, and glared at Wei Zheng fiercely.
