Chapter 920 The King of Yue stayed in the Hall of Wude
Li Xiu had already tried his best, but Wei Zheng did not give up. He could not block the other party's mouth, so he could only sigh helplessly, then shook his head at Fu Yi in the crowd, and then returned to his seat.
"Wei Qing, what do you want to report?" Li Shimin did not notice Li Xiu and Fu Yi's small actions. Instead, he thought Wei Zheng had not finished talking about the monk and Taoist reading of the sage, so he asked very kindly at this time.
Wei Zheng took out a memorial from his sleeve at this time, and then presented his hands with a solemn expression: "Report to Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty issued an edict a few days ago to let the King of Yue live in the Wude Hall next to the Eastern Palace. I feel it is absolutely impossible, so I ask Your Majesty to take back the life. Moreover, the King of Yue is already an adult, Your Majesty should let him live in the fiefdom as soon as possible!"
"Buzz~" As Wei Zheng said, a whole hall couldn't help but burst into a rumor of discussion. King Yue was Li Tai. He had not been named King Wei yet. However, as the son of Empress Changsun, Li Tai naturally attracted much attention like Li Chengqian. Even Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper to Changsun Wuji next to him, "When did Your Majesty let King Yue move into Wude Hall? Why didn't I hear about this at all?"
"This..." Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "This matter was made by Your Majesty two days ago. You also know that the prince was injured and the queen couldn't afford to get sick. Although her illness has improved a little, she is still in recuperation. Your Majesty cannot take care of herself all the time, so she let King Yue move into the Wude Hall, so it is convenient for King Yue to take care of the queen and visit the prince!"
"Is it just because of these reasons?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask after hearing Changsun Wuji's words. Although he didn't like to consider human nature too complicatedly, he had to consider the matters of the royal family to a deeper level.
"These are all told to me by Your Majesty. As for the true thoughts in his heart, who can guess?" Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly at this time, and then said helplessly. Even as Li Shimin's first confidant, he sometimes couldn't figure out Li Shimin's thoughts, especially after Li Shimin ascended the throne, his scheming became even more elusive.
"I asked King Yue to temporarily move into the palace just to take care of the queen. Do you even need your consent to these things?" At this moment, Li Shimin, whose face turned pale, also stared at Wei Zheng and asked back. Seeing his appearance, he seemed to be angry with Wei Zheng's words.
"Your Majesty, the palace is the residence of the emperor. According to the laws of the court, the prince can no longer live in the palace after the establishment of the palace. What's more, the King of Yue is now adult. Not only can he not live in the palace, but he also has to go to the official position of the fief. As far as I know, the King of Shu, who is the same age as the King of Yue, went to Suzhou a few years ago to take office. It was not until the Emperor passed away this year that he came back and then left the capital again. In contrast, Your Majesty was too spoiled to the King of Yue!" Wei Zheng also faced him mercilessly.
"Rareless, this is my family matter, so how can you, an outsider, give me some advice!" Li Shimin's face turned dark when he was angry with Wei Zheng, and he yelled angrily.
"The royal family is not a trivial matter. As long as it is related to the royal family, it is a state matter. Your Majesty must not destroy the court's laws because of his temporary selfishness!" Wei Zheng also stubbornly said again. This is also the most commendable thing about Wei Zheng. Even when facing an emperor like Li Shimin, he would not retreat at all.
At this time, Li Shimin was so angry that his whole body began to tremble. The expression on his face seemed to be about to kill people. However, the reason why Li Shimin was able to become a wise monarch for all ages was naturally extraordinary. At least he would not kill his ministers because of his words. Therefore, he finally roared again: "I am an emperor, this is my palace. I can live whoever I want! Retreat the court!"
After Li Shimin finished yelling, he also shook his sleeves, and then left the hall angrily, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other and Wei Zheng with dissatisfaction. With his temper, he would never give up if Li Shimin didn't change his mind!
However, the fact that Li Shimin asked Li Tai to live in Wude Hall was indeed a bit inconsistent with the law, and he actually hid it from the ministers in advance. Except for a few people such as Changsun Wuji, other ministers knew nothing at all, and even Li Xiu didn't know it. Thanks to Wei Zheng's direct exposure at the court meeting, the ministers knew about it.
Wei Zheng was the leader of the censor, so after Li Shimin left, many chief officials immediately surrounded Wei Zheng, and then began to discuss this matter with enthusiasm. They were not afraid of big troubles, and they all supported Wei Zheng. Even some ministers who were not censors expressed their support for Wei Zheng.
Li Xiu looked at the group of people around Wei Zheng silently, but the expression on his face was very heavy. Although he didn't like Wei Zheng very much, he was also standing on Wei Zheng's side this time because Li Shimin's decision to let Li Tai live in Wude Hall was too unwise, especially at the moment when Li Chengqian was injured.
You should know that Li Chengqian's legs were already disabled. Although he seemed to be thinking about it now, he probably only knew what he was thinking. After all, as the prince of a country, he was disabled and at the most sensitive age. If this matter had no effect on Li Chengqian, I am afraid no one would believe it.
But now Li Chengqian is just a little bit better and is actively cooperating with the treatment. The result is now good. Li Shimin actually lets Li Tai live in Wude Hall. You must know that Wude Hall was originally next to the Eastern Palace. What is more worth mentioning is that when Li Jiancheng was the crown prince, Li Shimin and his family lived in Wude Hall. Later, Li Shimin successfully seized Li Jiancheng's position as crown prince. Now he lets Li Tai live in again. What do you think about this?
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu even had the urge to scold Li Shimin. No matter what the motive for Li Shimin to let Li Tai live in Wude Hall, he was really disrespectful to Li Chengqian. Li Xiu was even worried that Li Chengqian could withstand such a blow?
Originally, the great court meeting was ruined by Wei Zheng, but of course Li Xiu had to thank the other party. If it weren't for him, he would have been kept in the dark by Li Shimin.
Some people who were even very thoughtful about Li Tai's residence in Wude Hall have begun to think that Li Shimin had the intention of Yi Chu, and it also marked that the position of the prince was no longer solid. Especially some people who already knew that Li Chengqian had a disabled leg, and they were very confident in this view. It is estimated that this incident will spread throughout the city in a few days.
Thinking of the above, Li Xiu's face became very gloomy. At this time, the people in the hall were almost gone, so he stepped forward to leave. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw Changsun Wuji, who had not left next to him, followed, and then left the Tai Chi Hall in the eyes of everyone. After all, compared to Wei Zheng, Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji had a stronger influence on Li Shimin, and they had always been closer to the prince, so many people have been paying attention to their reactions. I am afraid that Li Xiu's expression changes have been secretly recorded.
"Don't walk too fast, I can't keep up with you!" As soon as I left the hall, Changsun Wuji shouted with a wry smile. He just followed Li Xiu out, but Li Xiu didn't wait for him, and even deliberately accelerated his pace and left him a distance.
"It's not that I walked too fast, but Brother Wuji took the wrong path, right?" Li Xiu snorted coldly at this time. Changsun Wuji had known about this for a long time, but he had been hiding it from him. This made Li Xiu wonder what role Changsun Wuji played in this matter?
"Your Majesty, you are wronged by me. I admit that I knew about this one day earlier than you, but this matter is of great importance. I can't tell the truth about His Majesty's thoughts for a while. Before I could figure it out, Wei Zheng exposed this matter!" Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly again at this time, and he knew that Li Xiu would be angry about this matter.
"Brother Wuji, what do you think of this?" Li Xiu did not fully believe Changsun Wuji. After all, for an old fox like him, lying is as easy as drinking water and eating.
"I have a cautious view of this matter, because I can't figure out what Your Majesty thinks for a while. It's not good to force Your Majesty to admit his mistakes like Wei Zheng, so I think this matter can be slowly drawn on it." Changsun Wuji hesitated when he heard Li Xiu's words.
"The King of Yue is about to move into Wude Hall. Brother Wuji must know better than me. How can a prince live in there? And this matter has spread now, and the prince may already know. What would he think if he knew about this?" Li Xiu could not help but say a little annoyed when he heard that Changsun Wuji was actually going to do it slowly. Changsun Wuji was originally the minister who supported Li Chengqian the most, but after Li Chengqian was injured, his attitude seemed to become a little subtle.
"This matter is indeed not fair to the prince, but I think Your Majesty may not have any other intentions. After all, from his perspective, the eldest son who valued the most was broken and his wife fell seriously ill again. He was busy with government affairs every day, so he naturally needed someone to take care of his family on his behalf. The King of Yue happened to take on this task." Changsun Wuji nodded first, then said with a wry smile.
"Maybe Your Majesty may really have no other ideas, but he did not consider the serious consequences of doing so, so I will never agree!" Li Xiu said with a firm face at this time. He would definitely support Wei Zheng at the next court meeting. If Li Shimin insisted on letting Li Tai live in the Wude Hall, then he might as well resign the official position, and he would not be upset when he was invisible and would never rush into the muddy waters of their Li family in the future.
