Datang Nongwang

Chapter 916
Li Chongyuan questioned Li Shimin and everyone in the hall.

This was done before, but not as boldly as today.

Can be next.

Li Chongyuan looked at Li Shimin again, and asked: "My lord, I have a question that I can't figure out, and I can't figure it out. Please ask my lord to clear up the confusion in my heart."

"Speak!" Li Shimin seemed to understand a little when he heard this, but he also didn't understand.

But for Li Chongyuan's behavior that is neither condescending nor respectful, I really hate it.

Li Chongyuan smiled and said: "In the heart of the Holy Majesty, are the people more important, or the officials under you? In the heart of the Holy Majesty, is justice important, or cronies? Your throne is important?"

Li Chongyuan asked three times, the question was earth-shattering, and the question was unique.

As for such a question, no one has asked such a question in the current dynasty, and it was asked in such a way and under such circumstances.

Even Wei Zheng, who used to be a little straight, never questioned Li Shimin like this.

And Li Chongyuan's last question asked about the throne.

After hearing this, all the people present looked at Li Chongyuan with big eyes.

Elated.

What these people were most looking forward to was that after Li Shimin was asked such a question, he directly ordered Li Chongyuan to be pulled out of the south gate and beheaded.

Of course, there are also those who are in a panic, such as Li Chongyuan's eldest brother, Li Chongji.

There are also Li Chongyuan's cousin Li Zhao and others.

This is not.

Li Chongyuan asked such words so boldly, he was not afraid of Li Chongyuan, he actually frightened the others to the point of shock.

In a panic, Li Chongji hurriedly ran out of the crowd and knelt down, "My lord, my fourth brother is talking nonsense, please forgive me."

prior to.

Because Li Chongyuan tied up Fang Xuanling's wife, led them into the hall, and beat Fang and his wife, Li Shimin ordered Li Chongyuan to be taken down.

Li Chongyuan's elder brother didn't come out to intercede, it was because Li Chongji was unknown, he didn't know the specific situation, and Li Chongyuan had indeed gone too far in his current cognition.

What's more, Li Chongyuan led the troops to rush into the prime minister's mansion, and was charged with conspiracy by the court officials. Although Li Chongji was worried, he couldn't stop such a thing.

With Li Chongyuan entering the palace, his elder brother felt a little more at ease. At least, his fourth brother was able to enter the palace, which showed that the crime of conspiracy would definitely not be placed on his fourth brother.

If it is true that they are plotting chaos, they will be arrested and tied into the palace.

This is a process.

Li Chongji, the elder brother, was cautious, afraid that if he came out early, it would make his fourth brother more likely to be criticized by the court officials. In the end, Li Shimin was furious and sent him to prison.

But at this time, Li Chongji, the eldest brother, had no choice but to stand up from the rear, and had to speak for his fourth brother.

When the court asked Li Shimin such a question, this was the most acute question in the history of Datang.

"Brother, the Holy Majesty didn't say to punish me, so why are you kneeling! Besides, these questions of mine are not just nonsense, but the reality of the problem. If the Holy Majesty can't solve the confusion in my heart, then I will come I think the world is as dark as a crow." Li Chongji ran out to speak for himself, but Li Chongyuan smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Chongji who was kneeling on the ground.

For the big brother Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan was somewhat grateful.

Because he knew that although his elder brother was qualified to participate in the small court meeting, he was never qualified to speak.

Whether discussing state affairs or discussing other matters, Li Chongji could only observe politics and record them, but he was never allowed to express any opinions.

It's been like this for so many years.

Even if the official position is promoted, it is the same.

Sometimes Li Chongyuan didn't understand why Li Shimin would do this, but Li Chongyuan, who knew his elder brother's temper, gradually understood the reason.

Cautious, this is Li Chongji's temperament.

Afraid of offending this, but also afraid of offending that.

Li Chongji, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted to forgive his fourth brother, but Li Chongyuan didn't care at all whether Li Shimin forgave him or not.

What he wants is an answer.

And when his last words came out, it was as if a frying pan had exploded in the court.

"Li Chongyuan, you are presumptuous! This is the court, where is it your turn to question the Holy One." Changsun Wuji jumped out again.

"A child with a yellow mouth, who has committed a heinous crime without knowing it. Even if he confronts the emperor, he dares to say that he can't solve the confusion in your heart. The world is as black as a crow. Who do you think you are? Is it a fairy!"

"That is, a child with a yellow mouth, don't think that you have done something beneficial to the people, and just talk about the people every day."

"Such children, if things go on like this in the long run, they will definitely mess with my court."

"I also ask the sage to dismiss Qijue, punish him for his crime, and take him to the south gate for torture."

"He deserves to die! He has messed with me for several years, and he is even more lawless. He has never seen the Holy One in his eyes."

"."

More and more people jumped out.

Li Chongyuan ignored the words of these people and stared straight at Li Shimin.

at this time.

Although Li Shimin was angry in his heart, he knew that Li Chongyuan had asked him about this, but he had never responded to him directly.

And today.

Under such circumstances, Li Chongyuan asked these questions again, and Li Shimin felt that his face was dull.

The world is as dark as crows, let Li Shimin know that if he doesn't respond positively to Li Chongyuan today, it will be difficult for him to guess whether Li Chongyuan will do something.

As the emperor, why did he respond to a courtier's question?

And still respond under the current situation?

Because Li Shimin already guessed in his heart that Li Chongyuan led thousands of soldiers into the Fangfu, which may have something to do with the assassination.

even.

Li Shimin even guessed in his heart that if Li Chongyuan dared to do this, he must have direct evidence in hand.

Li Shimin looked at the court officials who jumped out and said they would do nothing to Li Chong, suddenly stood up gently from the throne, looked directly at Li Chongyuan, and replied: "In my heart, justice must naturally be It is more important than my cronies. And the common people, whether they are not returned to the officials of the world, are all my people. If you have to say who is important, it is all important. As for you to ask me, is it the people who are important, or the ones under my ass? The throne is important, so of course the people are important."

Boom~~

With Li Shimin's reply, all the court officials were blown up again.

They really did not expect that Li Shimin would directly respond to a criminal minister's questioning.

Moreover, Li Chongyuan even responded to the question whether the throne is important or the people are important, which really surprised them.

"My lord." Someone couldn't sit still anymore.

And those who couldn't sit still wanted to speak, Li Shimin seemed to have expected it long ago, pressed his hands, and signaled them to stop talking, but continued to stare at Li Chongyuan and said: "You ask me a question, and my answer will let you satisfy."

"I dare not say whether I am satisfied or dissatisfied. However, Your Majesty, you have solved the confusion in my heart. This really relieves me." Li Chongyuan responded with a smile.

Li Shimin came down from Debaotai, his eyes still staring at Li Chongyuan, "Then what are you doing today? If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, you will be guilty of conspiracy."

Li Shimin's words were spoken very lightly, so lightly that the court officials couldn't get used to it.

Li Chongyuan smiled.

He has been waiting for this sentence from Li Shimin.

prior to.

Li Chongyuan led Lu Shi into the palace, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Shi and this matter.

after all.

In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Lu is a strong woman, and she is also a jealous woman. Otherwise, there would not be many rumors about jealousy in Chang'an City.

Such a martyr, and also the prime minister's wife, and even the lady of Liang Guo who had been ordered by imperial order, was tied up by Li Chongyuan and brought into the hall, which had to focus everyone's attention.

After Li Chongyuan smiled, he came to the Fang couple who had got up and stood beside each other, the anger on his face climbed up again, pointing at the Fang couple, "Your Majesty, you should You can guess why I brought my generals and guards to charge against Fang's family."

"I don't know." Although Li Shimin already guessed in his heart, he needed Li Chongyuan's explanation, and he needed a truthful explanation.

After Li Chongyuan heard this, he didn't speak, just stretched out his hand, grabbed Lu Shi's arm, and pulled it hard, "You can explain to the Holy One."

How could Fang Xuanling agree to Li Chongyuan's move.

"Li Chongyuan, you are presumptuous!" Fang Xuanling saw his wife being pulled out of his protective circle by Li Chongyuan, his eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could slap Li Chongyuan to death on the spot.

Li Chongyuan gave him a smiling face and said: "Fang Xuanling, you should also stand up and explain to the Holy One why I did this!"

"Li Chongyuan, you insulted my Fang family's hatred today, Fang has made a note of it." Fang Xuanling gritted her teeth.

Seeing that the situation might change again, Li Shimin had to snort coldly.

Wang Li also walked over following Li Shimin's cold snort, preventing Li Chongyuan from teasing Lu Shi again.

face.

People above the court want face, and this is Li Shimin's permission, and he wants to save some face for these people.

But what Li Chongyuan did was he didn't want to save any face.

Wang Li passed the stop, and Lu Shi returned to Fang Xuanling's side again, sobbing non-stop as if he had been wronged by the sky.

Li Chongyuan looked at the Fangs and his wife with a smile, smiled again, turned to walk in the direction where Li Shimin was standing, and put his hands in his arms.

Changsun Wuji saw Li Chongyuan reaching for something in his arms, and saw Li Chongyuan walking towards Li Shimin's side, so he stopped him quickly, "Come here, Li Chongyuan wants to assassinate the Holy One and protect the Holy One!"

Being stopped by Changsun Wuji, Li Chongyuan laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Changsun Wuji, everyone knows that you support the Holy Majesty. After all, you are the elder brother of the empress empress, and also the eldest brother-in-law of the Holy Majesty, but you don't need to be so courteous and loyal. If I, Li Chongyuan, really wanted to assassinate the Holy Majesty, I would It’s impossible to choose at this time, at this point. Besides, the Holy One never doubted that I would assassinate him, you, who are nothing, always want to show off your sense of existence in front of the world, hum!” Li Chongyuan said The hand out of his pocket was already stretched out, holding several letters in his hand, it was not the so-called murder weapon at all.

Li Chongyuan's sarcasm made Changsun Wuji a little ashamed, and he said bitterly: "Li Chongyuan, you are still so stubborn when you die, I really want to see what tricks you want to play."

Li Chongyuan didn't bother to talk to him.

The more you talk to him, the more he sticks to you.

And Li Shimin, who was above the treasure rank, kept watching.

When Li Chongyuan came to him and handed him the letter in his hand, his eyes never left Li Chongyuan.

"Your Majesty, take a look, take a look, and you will know why I did this today." After Li Chongyuan handed the letter to Li Shimin, he stepped back.

A crowd of court officials watched without knowing.

Li Chongji, who knelt on the ground and wanted to plead for his fourth brother, looked at him without knowing it.

Fang Xuanling stared at Li Chongyuan with hatred.

Lu Shi lay on Fang Xuanling's shoulder, sobbing.

But Lu Shi's sobbing sound seemed to have changed, and his body began to tremble violently.

This also made Fang Xuanling hate Li Chongyuan even more.

Li Shimin opened the letter.

From the first letter to the last one.

Every time he read one, Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy, and his brows became more and more wrinkled.

When he read the last letter, Li Shimin's face was extremely gloomy, and his brows were also tightly furrowed so that Wang Li was a little worried.

I read the letter.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and then let out a heavy breath.

Suddenly, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Fang Xuanling, and shouted in a deep voice, "Fang Qiao!!!!"

Li Shimin's sudden yell made all the court officials confused. They didn't know what information Li Shimin read in the letter before Li Shimin's yell that made Li Shimin so angry.

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji didn't know why, but seeing Li Shimin turn his direction, he knew that Li Shimin's anger must be because of the letter.

Fang Xuanling was somewhat nervous when Li Shimin yelled at her, and quickly took a step sideways, "Your Majesty, I don't understand why your Majesty is so angry. Could it be that I have done something wrong to make your Majesty angry?"

"Take a good look at me!" Li Shimin was furious, and threw the letter directly on Fang Xuanling's face.

Li Shimin's behavior really made everyone confused.

The only ones present who knew what was written in the letter were Li Chongyuan and Lu Shi.

Lu Shi, who was lying on Fang Xuanling's shoulders, fell to the ground again, sobbing tremblingly.

Fang Xuanling picked up the letters on the ground and began to look through them.

Fang Xuanling's face darkened half every time he read one.

After reading the letter, Fang Xuanling suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shimin to plead guilty. Please also spare the old wife of the minister. Your Majesty, I beg you."

Fang Xuanling knelt down and kowtowed to apologize suddenly, which shocked all the court officials again.

And this time.

Li Chongyuan smiled, "Fang Xuanling, stop pretending. She is your wife, and she sleeps with you every day. You don't know what she did, haha. You are the prime minister, so you can do whatever you want!"
