bastard seizes tang

Chapter 654
Wei Ting's face changed suddenly after receiving the secret letter from the servant. Everyone knew that the content of the secret letter in Wei Ting's hand was not simple, but Wei Ting's reaction was obviously more intense than what the ministers originally thought.

Wei Ting held the secret letter in his hand, and after a short period of astonishment, as the chief official of the imperial censor platform and a powerful figure in the court, Wei Ting, the doctor of the imperial censor, suddenly fell down on the ground and bowed to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, calm down, this matter is by no means serious. I instructed that I have no knowledge of this letter, and I hope Your Majesty will see it clearly."

As a doctor of imperial history, he should have written admonitions, but a secret letter from the imperial history station scared Wei Ting into such a state. curious.

After a while, Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out first and asked Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know why this happened?"

Li Shimin hummed heavily, and said to Wei Ting, "This anonymous letter is from your Yushitai, so let you explain it."

Wei Ting hurriedly argued again: "Although this letter was sent from the Yushitai, it has nothing to do with the minister, and the minister never knew about it before."

Hearing this, Li Shimin said impatiently: "I never said that this secret letter was ordered by you, but I just asked you to relay it, so you just get up and speak."

"No." Wei Ting ordered, and then stood up.

After Wei Ting got up, he said to Gao Shilian and everyone in the court: "Received the impeachment letter from Yushitai's anonymous letter, the prince was not born by the eldest grandson empress himself, but was born by a noble concubine. It is really inappropriate for the prince to establish a heir and a heir."

Wei Ting spoke, his voice became more and more quiet, he paused, looked up at Li Shimin resentfully, and then continued: "What's more, the noble concubine is the former Princess of the Sui Dynasty, and the prince also has the blood of the previous dynasty. Opening the Wuwei warehouse, colluding with the imperial court and border commanders, and buying people's hearts must be intended to rebel, this letter asks your majesty to depose the East Palace and re-establish a son-in-law."

As soon as Wei Ting's words came out, the entire court was in an uproar. All the officials in the court who impeached Li Ke were all caught up in Li Ke's private opening of Wuwei warehouse, but this secret letter was "ingenious", and was the first to catch it. It turned out to be Li Ke's origin. Li Ke was born of the noble concubine Yang's family, not the eldest grandson's empress. Li Ke's status as a direct son was given by the eldest grandson's empress before her death, which is different from Li Tai and Li Zhi.

Listening to Wei Ting's report, the ministers in the court who were planning to impeach Li Ke have already cursed in their hearts, and they only have to say "idiot" as a headache.

If you want to impeach Li Ke for opening Wuwei warehouse privately, just impeach him, just talk about Li Ke's background and bloodline, Li Ke's biological mother is a former princess of the Sui Dynasty, but Li Ke is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who was officially registered in Zongzheng Temple Parent-child, grandson of the founding emperor Gaozu, Li Ke's surname is Li, not Yang!

Because he was in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke was the prince, the prince, and he could be established as the prince and inherit Guozuo. If it was in the former Sui Dynasty, Li Ke's position might not be as good as that of Chai Lingwu, the son of the old Princess Pingyang, even a prince. Could it be that Li Ke was so stupid that he would rebel against the Tang Dynasty and restore the former Sui Dynasty without kowtowing to others?

In addition, Li Ke's status as a legitimate son was given by Empress Changsun before her death, and it was also Empress Changsun's will. This secret letter used this matter as a fuss, not only offending Li Ke, but also contemptuous of Empress Changsun. It also annoyed Li Shimin, and it's no wonder that Li Shimin became furious after reading this letter.

After Wei Ting finished speaking, Li Shimin stood up suddenly, looked at the officials in the hall, and asked coldly: "In your eyes, is there still an emperor like Zhen? Is there still a crown prince like Ke'er?"

Although Li Shimin is an emperor, he treats others leniently, especially his courtiers. However, this does not mean that Li Shimin has no temper. It's all about restraint, but what happened today has really touched Li Shimin's bottom line.

"I dare not wait!" As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, all the officials in the court bowed down and worshiped.

Li Shimin looked at the crowd, his hands trembling slightly with anger, and he said slowly: "You don't dare, you have become bolder. What do you get in exchange for all the bitter cold? Is it such a humiliation? I think it is not the prince who is planning to rebel today, but some treacherous villains in the court."

Li Shimin's sons, even the entire clan, in terms of the merits of the country and the people, there is no one on the right of Li Ke, so Li Ke is not only favored by Li Shimin, but also loved by the people. What this secret letter says can be said to be Li Ke, It even slandered the entire Tang clan.

In Li Shimin's eyes, Li Ke is his most sensible, outstanding, and proudest son. How could he allow others to slander him like this, and how could he bear Li Ke to suffer such grievances.

After being yelled at by Li Shimin, the people in the court who were trying to impeach Li Ke suddenly fell silent, but Li Shimin saw the silence in the hall, but the anger in his heart has not disappeared.

Li Shimin looked around at the people in the court, and then said: "There is a saying in the national language: 'As a minister, the king worries about the work of the minister, and the king humiliates the minister to death'. The crown prince is the prince of our Tang Dynasty, and the future monarch of our Tang Dynasty. It can be blasphemed, how can you still sit here."

Li Shimin's words hit the hearts of all officials in the court with every word and hammer. After all, there were not many officials in the court who opposed Li Ke, so they still had a great deterrent effect on the officials.

There are those who are panicked for a while, those who are guilty, and those who are ashamed. The expressions of all officials are different, and the feelings in their hearts are also different.

After a while, watching Li Shimin's emotions gradually calm down, Changsun Wuji finally said at the right time: "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I think this letter contains evil intentions, which is really absurd and absolutely not advisable. There are too many reasons for this matter, and there is no inside story. The minister thinks that this matter is not in a hurry, so we should wait until the crown prince returns to Beijing before making a fuss."

What Changsun Wuji said was indeed biased towards Li Shimin and Li Ke, but at the same time it also gave the Guanlongmen clan a step down.

The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to tell the result of this matter today. Stopping this matter now can not only appease Li Shimin's anger, but also make the Guanlong officials look decent, which can be regarded as a compromise.

According to the words of Changsun Wuji, the Guanlong officials who were aggressive today and wanted to attack Li Ke suddenly fell silent. None of the Guanlong officials had the weight and courage of Wei Zheng. Li Shimin's anger has not yet If it is completely eliminated, whoever comes forward now is tantamount to asking for death, not only annoyed Li Shimin, but also offended the eldest grandson Wuji who wants to calm things down, the gain outweighs the loss.

Li Ke has not yet arrived in Chang'an, and the officials of the East Palace may not be fully prepared. In fact, today is the best time for the Guanlongmen Clan to launch an attack. If today's wave of heavy punches cannot be effective, it will be even more difficult to injure Li Ke in the future It's even more difficult, but as it is today, the Guanlongmen faction has no choice. After all, they still have to take care of the family's face.

"The ministers and others agree." As soon as Changsun Wuji's words fell, everyone in the hall echoed.
