Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 30 The Imperial Envoy Goes Crazy
early morning.

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

All civil and military officials gathered together.

To the surprise of many ministers, the prince also came to today's morning court!

Could it be that the relationship between the Crown Prince and His Majesty has eased?
Many officials gathered in twos and threes and talked in low voices, and from time to time they looked at Li Chengqian who was leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed.

As Li Shimin approached, all the civil and military officials bowed and followed the formalities.

"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"

"I have a report to make!"

Xu Yushi strode out of the line, holding a tablet in his hand.

Many officials rolled their eyes when they saw Xu Yushi come out.

As a member of the Censorate, this guy is really stubborn and stubborn.

Every time they would pick on a small matter, make a big fuss about it, and punish many people implicated. The previous King of Wei was a vivid example.

I don’t know who will be impeached this time.

The officials present thought about it carefully and made sure that nothing bad had been spread about them, so they pricked up their ears and waited for gossip.

"Lord Xu, what do you want to report?"

"Your Majesty, I impeach the Left Thousand Bull Guards Wei Daijia, the commander of the Wei army!"

Envoy Xu's voice was high and reverberated in the Taiji Hall. "Captain Wei is the commander of the Left Thousand Bull Guards and is in charge of the Thousand Bull Guards. However, he relied on the favor of His Majesty and accepted bribes. This is his first crime!"

"In order to make a fortune, Wei Duwei did not hesitate to plunder the Hu people doing business in the West Market. He robbed them by force, causing the Hu merchants in the West Market to complain and flee Chang'an City. This is his second crime!"

"He had a grudge against someone, but he relied on his status to beat him to death and buried his body in the wild forest outside the city. He broke the law knowingly and looked down on everyone. This is his third crime!"

"I beg Your Majesty to severely punish Captain Wei and serve as a warning to others!"

Hey!
The civil and military officials present were suddenly startled, and they all looked at Wei Daijia, who was on duty today.

Any one of these three charges is enough to get him dismissed from office!

Especially the third crime, if the evidence is sufficient, Wei Daijia will probably be sentenced to death!

Wei Daijia's expression was very interesting, with three parts of shock, four parts of panic, and three parts of disbelief.

Wei Ting was even more shocked. There was a hint of coldness in his dim eyes as he stared coldly at Xu Yushi.

Who leaked this?

Li Shimin frowned and looked at Wei Daijia on the side.

Wei Daijia hurried out and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have never done these things. Please understand!"

"Wei Daijia, now that I have irrefutable evidence, do you still dare to quibble?"

Xu Yushi bowed, walked to Wei Daijia, and sneered, "According to what I have learned, you relied on your status to collect countless money from foreign merchants. For the sake of Miss Xu Qing from Nishang Tower, you even borrowed the power of the king to build a house in Huaiyuanfang for her!"

"Ms. Xu Qing is now living in Huaiyuanfang. We only need to send someone over to invite her to confront us. Are you giving up?"

Wei Daijia said in a loud voice, "Miss Xu and I are in love with each other, so why can't I spend money to redeem her?"

"Haha, that's ridiculous!"

"Your annual salary is only 200 dan, and your monthly salary is only 2,500 coins. Adding up everything, you only have 150 taels of silver a year. How can you redeem Miss Xu Qing?"

After Xu Yushi finished speaking with a cold smile, he bowed and looked at Li Shimin and said, "Let your majesty and all the gentlemen know that Miss Xu Qing was personally chosen by the madam of Nishang Tower to replace Miss Wang Susu, the top prostitute. The price for her redemption is three thousand taels of silver!"

"Captain Wei, I would like to ask you, how many years do you need to go without food or drink in order to redeem Miss Xu Qing?!"

How much?

Three thousand taels of silver?
Three thousand taels of silver to redeem a prostitute?

Even if the girl is a prostitute who has not yet lost her virginity and is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and all kinds of martial arts, three thousand taels of silver will be enough for them to have fun for thirty years!

All the civil and military officials present opened their eyes wide in shock when they heard this, let alone Li Shimin?
Three thousand taels of silver!
Bang!
Li Shimin's face turned pale, and he slammed his hand heavily on the edge of the table, interrupting the discussion. He looked at Wei Daijia coldly, then nodded to Xu Yushi, "Go on."

Xu Yushi: "Wei Daijia relied on his status to rob the three thousand taels of silver from the Hu merchants in the West Market. It's not just Wei Daijia, even the servants in his house can use his name to go to the Hu merchants in the West Market and take whatever they want!"

"The Hu merchants in the West Market were angry but dared not speak out. When the city gates opened early this morning, many Hu merchants had already left Chang'an City."

"However, after I saw through this matter, I went to find Lord Sun from the Dali Temple."

When Envoy Xu looked over, Sun Fujia came out with a tablet in his hand. "Your Majesty, it is true. Envoy Xu and I discussed it and pacified the Hu merchants. We also learned from them that Wei Daijia had obtained countless silver and money from them!"

"In addition, someone reported to the police that a body was found in the wild woods outside the city. According to the person who reported it, he heard about this matter from someone else and made a bet with a few friends to go to the wild woods outside the city to verify it. Unexpectedly, they actually found a body."

Wei Daijia's body was shaking, and beads of cold sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his cheeks.

Li Shimin stared at Wei Daijia fiercely. As the captain of the Qianniu Guard, he was responsible for the security of the imperial palace!
Such a person actually did so many despicable things!

Will he one day set his sights on me? ? "Damn it, damn it!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

All the ministers bowed.

Xu Yushi stood up straight and spoke again, "Your Majesty, I also want to impeach the Imperial Counselor Wei Ting, Lord Wei!"

hiss!
Everyone's astonished eyes could not help but glance back and forth at the two of them.

enough.

Dirt!
Impeaching Wei Daijia is not enough. If we dig deeper, even Wei Ting has to be involved?
He is your superior!

The most that could be done to impeach Wei Daijia was for failing to educate his son properly, and then force him out of his position as Imperial Counselor?

Li Shimin glanced coldly and asked, "What are you impeaching Wei Ting for?"

Xu Yushi said loudly: "I accuse Lord Wei of knowingly breaking the law and deliberately shielding Wei Daijia and helping him conceal the murder!"

This……

Everyone was shocked and looked at Wei Ting.

Wei Ting remained motionless. "Envoy Xu is impeaching me. Do you have any evidence?"

Xu Yushi bowed and said, "I don't have enough evidence to prove this at the moment. But although there is no solid evidence, Wei Daijia killed someone and buried the body, but he didn't leak any news. Instead, he revealed it after drinking. This is enough to prove that someone is protecting him!"

Wei Ting sneered: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu can always find a pretext to accuse me of a crime."

Xu Yushi: "Then please explain to me, Lord Wei, why did Wei Daijia know the burial site so clearly and even left a mark on the tree at the burial site?"

Wei Ting: "How did I know?"

Xu Yushi: "In my opinion, it was after Wei Daijia killed someone that Lord Wei found out, and that's why he tried to conceal the matter!"

"His Majesty!"

Wei Ting did not argue with Xu Yushi, and turned to Li Shimin and said, "Xu Yushi has no evidence and has accused me without reason. I really don't understand how I have offended Xu Yushi. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Xu Yushi: "Sir Wei, I have only one question. If Wei Daijia didn't kill the man, how can he remember it so clearly?!"

"enough!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and interrupted Xu Yushi's words, "Since there is no evidence, it is not appropriate to make groundless accusations!"

"I have spoken out of turn, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xu Yushi knew when to quit and returned to his seat obediently.

Sun Fujia bowed and said, "Your Majesty, now those Hu merchants who want to leave Chang'an City have been gathered in the Dali Temple by me. I want to ask for an explanation for those Hu merchants. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "You have done a good job in this matter. They used their official positions to enrich themselves and rob people by trickery. I must give them justice!"

"Wei Daijia!"

"The end will be here."

"Are you guilty?"

"The last general..."

Wei Daijia raised his head and saw Wei Ting looking at him coldly.

Wei Daijia was shocked, he was abandoned!
"I did receive some silver from the Hu merchant as a tribute, and I also redeemed Miss Xu Qing, but I have never killed anyone!"

"You still dare to quibble after all this?"

Li Shimin said coldly, "Wei Daijia knew the law but broke it, and he is stubborn and unyielding. His crime is even more serious!"

"This man has been handed over to the Dali Temple for handling. No matter what means you use, you must give an explanation to the Hu merchant in the West Market and return justice to that corpse!"

Sun Fujia: "I obey your order!"

"Put it down!"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

"Dad, save me, save me, Dad, go find the King of Wei..."

hiss!
Wei Daijia was taken away, but when he left the hall, the two words "King of Wei" he uttered indeed caused a dead silence in the Taiji Hall!
Wei Ting's fists, curled up under his official robe, were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound!
Rebel!

Seeking death?!

"Your Majesty, I failed in my parenting. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
