Chapter 75: Du Ruhui
When everyone in the hall saw Li Shimin's face changing suddenly, they knew that the retribution in Li Shimin would be unusual. First, if it was not important, the retribution would never be submitted to Li Shimin during the court meeting. Second, if it was a storm for a long time, Li Shimin would not have changed his expression if it was not a major event.
Just when everyone was shocked by the changes in front of them, and even wondered whether they should continue to speak, a moment later, Li Shimin finally spoke.
"Ke'er was taken advantage of by evil people when she was controlling the water in Xuyi and had been robbed." Li Shimin Yangyang's report, glared at the door, and said to the ministers in the hall.
"Boom..."
When everyone in the court heard this, they were confused at first, and then there was an uproar in the hall.
The prince of the dynasty, second only to the crown prince, gave the imperial court axe to the emperor. Li Ke, the commander of Yangzhou who was patrolling the southeast of the Tiantian, was actually kidnapped by a villain in Huainan. Who can be surprised when he heard this rashly?
With Li Ke's figure, it was really strange and incredible when encountering such a thing.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who did this?" After a moment of quiet in the hall, the Shangshu Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling, who was the leader of all officials at the time, asked.
Li Shimin handed the report in his hand to Chang Tu, the close servant beside him, and then transferred it from Chang Tu to Fang Xuanling.
Li Shimin also said to Fang Xuanling to the ministers in the court: "You can see it too. The Huainan flood was in trouble and the people were in chaos. Ke'er pleaded with the suffering of the people and sent his subordinates to lead the guards to the tutelage. Unexpectedly, he was taken advantage of by Xiao Xian during the tour of the water. He colluded with the Xuyi County Magistrate Lin Yuantu and secretly attacked and captured him."
Because of this fact, the ministers in the court showed surprise and dumbfounded when they heard Li Shimin's words. What's more, some people had already guessed in their hearts and guessed the authenticity of this memorial.
After all, Li Ke is in a disadvantage at the moment and is being impeached by his ministers. This kidnapping may be the bitter plan that Li Ke himself has to escape this disaster.
However, everyone thought about it immediately, but they felt that something was wrong. Li Ke was captured and involved in Xuyi County, and the guards of the King of Chu could also prove it. Even if Li Ke died strictly, someone would feel relieved. At that time, wouldn’t he reveal his intentions that would be worth the loss? No matter how stupid Li Ke was and how anxious he was, he shouldn’t be able to spit this and break it with just one pierce.
The Tang Dynasty was relaxed, and most of the monarchs and ministers were familiar with each other, without so many rigid rules. Chang Tu handed the memorial book to Fang Xuanling. He had a good relationship with Fang Xuanling in the court, and the ministers with a slightly higher official rank had come up and looked at the memorial in Fang Xuanling's hands.
Whether Li Ke was captured was true or not, you only need to send important officials to investigate and find out. The ministers knew this, and Li Shimin knew even more, and Li Shimin never questioned this.
The ministers thought differently, but no matter what others thought, at least as a father, Li Shimin no longer had the intention to care about the illusory sayings of the King of Chu's rebellion. Now he was most concerned about the safety of Li Ke and Huainan, which can be seen from the "Ke'er" blurted out from Li Shimin.
If Li Shimin really questioned Li Ke's intention to rebel, he would never have called him so intimate.
"Report to Your Majesty, in order to protect the territory and safeguard the people of Huainan, the King of Chu has been taken advantage of by evil people while patrolling the river. The so-called King of Chu's plot to rebel is purely nonsense. If you disagree with the words of Your Majesty and His son, you should be punished." The news of Li Ke being captured by the Huainan River was sent to the hall. Cen Wenben, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up and said loudly.
Cen Wen himself was Li Ke's master, and most of Li Ke's talent and virtue were taught by him. Li Ke was slandered, and it was reasonable for Cen Wenben to come forward to speak for him. However, the monarch and ministers in the hall could see who Cen Wenben's words were referring to. Only Li Lin, who was still in the attack just now, stood in the hall in a dilemma, and didn't know what to do.
Even though Li Lindu, with the villain's heart, thought that Li Ke's words of being robbed were just his cover-up, he would never dare to say them in front of everyone. If he was stubborn at this time, wouldn't he confirm Fei Zhong and Youhun's words mentioned by Wei Zheng?
However, although Cen Wenben bluntly accused Li Lin, he could still tell the difference. Now it is not the time to get involved with Li Lin, so the safety of Li Ke and Huainan is naturally more important.
Cen Wenben continued: "I think the matter of the King of Chu's rebellion is purely a false one. The most urgent task at the moment is to rescue Your Highness, stabilize the situation in Huainan, and not give the remnant Liang Xiaoxiao an opportunity to take advantage of it."
After hearing Cen Wenben's words, Li Shimin nodded in agreement.
Since those remnants of the remnants of the remnants of the Liang Dynasty ambush Li Ke during the flood, they are naturally not just for Li Ke. Their purpose should be to disrupt Huainan while the flood is flooded. Huainan is the granary of the Tang Dynasty and the important location of the salt warehouse. If Huainan is in chaos, most of the Tang Dynasty, including Guanzhong, will cause chaos for it. This matter will be absolutely careless.
Li Shimin said: "What Cen Qing said is very much. The rich land in Huainan is my Tang Dynasty salt and grain warehouse. You must not have any difference. King Li Ke of Chu is my beloved son. This time, I will have to try to rescue him and not be able to make any mistakes. As for the rumors outside, I don't have to mention them in the court, and I am the one who is the king, minister, father and son."
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the matter was concluded. Li Lin and Changsun Wuji's rare opportunity to attack Li Ke was disturbed by this sudden report.
However, Changsun Wuji really hoped that what the Huainan report said was true. At least in this way, Li Ke was in danger. It would be the best if Li Ke could die at the hands of the remnants of Xiao Liang. This would avoid his great troubles, and he would not have to intervene in it and pick the ground cleanly.
At this time, there was no one like Changsun Wuji who was thinking like this. Just as Li Shimin finished speaking, Chu Liang, the prince's mansion, immediately stepped out and said to Li Shimin: "Report to Your Majesty, the King of Chu is in trouble now, and there are no leaders in Huainan officials. I think I should quickly choose an important minister in the court and go south to pacify Huainan. On the one hand, I will calm the hearts of the people in Huainan and stabilize the situation, and on the other hand, I will find the traces of the King of Chu and rescue the King of Chu."
Chu Liang's words were not bad. Li Shimin nodded in agreement when he heard this and asked the people in the hall: "This matter is of great importance. Who do you think can do it?"
Cen Wenben cares about Li Ke's safety. If he followed Cen Wenben's meaning, he naturally hoped that he could go south to custody and be the most confident in rescuing Li Ke. However, Cen Wenben had little experience, and even if he was Li Ke's teacher, it would be difficult to take this important task.
However, the news that Cen Wenben had already received the news from the messenger sent by Wang Xuance earlier and was prepared.
In order to make him, he must not be the crown prince or the eldest grandson party, otherwise Li Ke will be unable to escape the disaster, and in order to make him, he must not be the upright person such as Wei Zheng. He only cares about the righteousness of the people of Huainan and is not as good as Li Ke's life and death, which is also unfavorable to rescue Li Ke.
This person must not only be close to Li Ke, but also know how to adapt, have sufficient qualifications, and also be Li Shimin's direct confidant. Such a person is really hard to find in the court.
If I had thought about it again in the dynasty, I'm afraid Cen Wenben might not have been able to remember it for a while, but fortunately, Cen Wenben got the news earlier and really remembered someone - Du Ruhui.
