In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 168 Li Shimin is Angry
This brat, even cheated on his father!

The reason why Li Shimin agreed to Li Ke's request was because he thought that the following officials would know how to read words and act according to his wishes.

But he didn't expect that Li Ke would give him this trick.

This time, he was also cheated by Li Ke, and he was a little bit hard to get off.

He stood there in a daze, looking at the Manchu civil and military men who stood up, feeling a little at a loss.

Wang Gui closed his eyes and took a long breath.

Standing up and cupping his hands to Li Shimin, he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and frail, and he is really powerless to deal with the affairs of the country. I want to resign from office and return to my hometown for retirement. Please allow me your Majesty's permission."

There is no way, Wang Gui is also a member of the family.Li Ke put forward such a condition, for the sake of the family, he had no choice but to resign.

Yes, the officials of the royal family also stood up and asked him to resign. What else can he do?
Even if he had a way to stay in his position, the pressure from other major families was not something he could bear.

If he doesn't leave, Li Ke doesn't need to deal with him, and the other big families will unite to deal with him.At that time, the Wang family will not be able to keep him.

So at this moment, he has no choice but to resign voluntarily.

"Ugh……"

Li Shimin sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "Okay! Oh, yes."

Wang Gui said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then, he turned to Li Ke and said, "His Royal Highness, I hope you will keep your word."

Li Ke said: "Don't worry, I, Li Ke, will do what I say."

Having said that, Li Ke looked at Changsun Wuji again.

Changsun Wuji stood there, very embarrassed.He understood his situation, at this moment, no one dared to stand up and help him.

The only dawn is when Li Ke let go.

As long as Li Ke doesn't let go, those aristocratic families will unite to get him.If he does not resign, it is equivalent to going against these aristocratic families.How could these families let him go?

Li Shimin also didn't want to let Changsun Wuji go, because he was his right-hand man.

"Ugh……"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Ke'er, why do you insist on your uncle resigning?"

Li Ke said: "Father, actually, I also don't think I have any deep hatred with my uncle.

But, every time, once something happens to me, why does he jump out and beat me to death?
Once or twice is fine, how many times has this been?As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

For my own safety, father, do you think I should get rid of him?That makes sense, right? "

Changsun Wuji said: "Ke'er, do you have any misunderstandings about me? Actually, I didn't do this against you. I did it for the sake of the court and the overall situation. For example, this time..."

"What happened this time?"

Li Ke directly interrupted him and said: "Getting rid of my throne is for the sake of the court, right? If I don't understand these techniques of investigating things, I will be demoted to a commoner even if I don't die now?"

Li Shimin quickly said: "How is this possible? Ke'er, you are overthinking. The tiger's poison doesn't eat its children! How could Dad do this?
Ke'er, let's do this!Royal father promises you, as long as you don't rebel, no matter who says it, I won't touch your throne.The matter between you and your uncle is over like this, okay? "

Li Shimin felt that it was too difficult for him.Changsun Wuji is his right-hand man, he is reluctant.

But the ability that this son has shown now is already better than Changsun Wuji.He wants to appease even more.

It's really too difficult for him, the emperor, to be caught in the middle.

He knows this son too well. At this time, he really can't use his status to suppress him.Otherwise, once he goes crazy, it would be terrible.

To put it bluntly, Li Ke is a guy who takes soft things but not hard ones.

Li Ke also didn't want to be tough with Li Shimin, so he let go and said, "Okay. Father, you actually said that, and I can't fight against you.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped.If you don't want to be uncle, you can move your position to Wang Gui's position, and become the minister of the Ministry of Rites! "

Changsun Wuji hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing."

The Minister of Rites is the worst department among the six departments, and the officials have also been demoted.But it's better than dismissal!

With Li Shimin's love for him, he will be promoted again soon.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji agreed very simply.

In fact, based on Li Shimin's trust in him, it is the same for him to be any official.

Li Shimin said speechlessly: "Then who will take the position where the right servant shoots?"

Above the court hall, the eyes of the person who might be sitting in this position suddenly lit up.

There is a chance!
Unexpectedly, Li Ke didn't give them a chance at all, and said directly: "Let Wei Zheng come! As the saying goes, those who can do more work, let him work part-time! If it really doesn't work, we'll talk about it later."

Li Shimin was speechless.

In fact, Li Shimin disliked Wei Zheng very much.It's just that during this period, he needs to do so.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't dislike Wei Zheng any more, it could be said that he hated him.

From the fact that after Wei Zheng's death, he still pulled out his grave and turned his bones into ashes, he knew how much he hated Wei Zheng.

It has to be said that although Li Shimin's later generations are known as the eternal Mingjun, he has done a lot of things that are criticized.

But then again, although Wei Zheng is a bit old-fashioned, he has abilities.

The most important thing is that at this time Li Ke has already taken advantage.At this moment, he can be said to be invincible, and no one dares to jump out and sing against him.

Li Shimin smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "Okay! I'll do as you please, okay?"

Li Ke said: "Father, my son has one more thing to report to you."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Say."

Li Ke said: "It is the case of the gold left by Lu Dongzan in the Sifang Pavilion. I hope that the emperor will hand it over to my ministers for investigation. By then, the case will be clarified and my ministers will hand over all the stolen money."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, since you are handling this case, let you handle the whole process!"

Li Ke hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Father!"

After going down.

Li Ke, Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji were called to the imperial study by Li Shimin.

Although today Li Ke fulfilled his promise and got out all the paper and books.

However, Li Shimin was a little unhappy.Some things cannot be said above the court, so I called these people to the imperial study.

Li Shimin sat there making tea, and the three guys stood there watching.

While making tea, Li Shimin said, "What are you doing standing? Sit down and drink tea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty (Royal Father)!"

After the three of them finished speaking, they found a seat and sat down.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense.

Li Shimin took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Li Ke and asked, "Ke'er, tell me first, what exactly do you want to do?"

Yes, what Li Ke did today really made Li Shimin angry.

How courageous, he dared to put Li Shimin together in the court.
