Chapter 126: If you shoot a fly, you will be beaten
Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials on both sides of the Jinluan Palace. He said: "Yesterday the King of Wei returned triumphantly, and today I want to reward the generals." ”
Then the eunuch read out the holy decree and rewarded Luo Tong and others. The reward is only some property and no official position, after all, the other party is serving in the forbidden army of King Wei. Therefore, it is not possible to increase the number of officials.
The eunuch pronounced the holy decree, and the generals did not have time to give thanks. Prime Minister Pei Lin stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that when the King of Wei banned the army and passed through Lizhou, he once gathered people to make trouble and had no military discipline. I also asked the emperor to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
After hearing this, Li Shimin asked: "Li Tai, can what the prime minister said be true?" ”
"Back to my father, when my son arrived in Lizhou City, someone once told my son about it. But after the investigation of the sons, this is a false thing. Li Tai said to Li Shimin when he came out of class.
"King Wei, if it is as you say, it is a false accusation. Then how did this joint letter in my hand come about? After Pei Lin finished speaking, he took out a certificate of reincarnation sent by Li Xiaochang.
Li Shimin asked the eunuch to take it, and after reading it, he said angrily: "Li Tai, now the gentry and people of Lizhou have jointly signed a letter. Do you still want to deny it? ”
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he threw the joint letter in his hand directly to Li Tai.
Li Tai stretched out his hand to pick up the joint certificate, looked at it, and said with a smile: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, father, Lizhou City is his territory of Li Xiaochang, and if you want to come up with a joint certificate, what is the difficulty." ”
"What King Wei means is that I and Li Xiaochang have blamed you." Pei Li's eyes widened, looked at Li Tai and asked.
"Prime Minister, everything needs to be proven. Could it be that with a joint petition in your hand, you can cure my brothers of sin? Li Tai said with a disdainful expression.
Li Tai sneered and slowly walked towards Pei Lian. then circled around Pei Lin twice, and finally on Pei Lian's ass, it was a kick. directly kicked Pei Lin and robbed a dog of.
Before Pei Lian could react, Li Tai had already knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, Prime Minister Pei Lin tried to mistreat his son, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, his son would have been poisoned." ”
As soon as Li Tai's words fell, when he saw Luo Tong and the others, they all knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I'm waiting to see it really well." It was the prime minister who wanted to reach out to hit the king of Wei, but fortunately, the king of Wei reacted in time and made the first move. ”
This time, the civil and military officials in the court are not calm. They didn't expect Li Tai to blatantly beat Prime Minister Pei Lin on the Jinluan Palace. Moreover, a cadre of generals of the forbidden army of King Wei even blatantly committed perjury.
"Your Majesty, please call the shots for the old ministers. The king of Wei openly beat the courtiers and asked the emperor to offend the king of Wei. Pei Lin lay on the ground and said with tears in his eyes.
"You said that this king beat you, what evidence is there? As you have just heard, the people have testified for me, and I am justified in self-defense. Can you find witnesses or not? Li Tai said as he glared angrily at the Chinese military general.
Everyone's eyes, the moment they met Li Tai, they all subconsciously lowered their heads. Who wants to provoke this killing god, today he testified for Pei Lin on the Jinluan Palace. Today, this killing god may not be able to find trouble for himself.
The most important thing is that even if he testifies himself, let Li Tai be given the blame by the emperor. But after all, he is the emperor's son, and the biggest punishment is just a grounding fine. When others are fine, the unlucky one is definitely himself.
So since it's none of your business, it's better to hang it high. The people present, you look at me, I look at you, but no one stands up to speak for Pei Lian. Even Pei Lian's sworn friend, Wang Yushi, lowered his head.
Just when Pei Lin wanted to cry without tears, the crown prince Li Chengqian stood up and said: "Brother Huang, the prime minister has worked hard for the Tang Dynasty and is the pillar of the country. How can you be above the court, say do it. ”
Hearing the prince's words, Pei Lin finally found the organization. With tears in his eyes, he said, "I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to testify for me." ”
"Father, this old dog Pei Lin joined forces with Li Xiaochang to fabricate evidence and frame me. Am I using facts to prove that what he said is false, and that there is anything wrong with it? Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a straight face.
"Do you want to be blind, and the civil and military officials dare not speak out for fear of your personal revenge. Didn't I see that you couldn't beat the Prime Minister? Li Shimin took the case and said angrily to Li Tai.
"Father, what you said is a bit extreme. Erchen didn't beat the prime minister, but he just saw that there was a fly on his buttocks, and I wanted to slap him to death, but I used more force. Li Tai looked at Li Shimin and said with a playful expression.
Luo Tong and the others also echoed Li Tai and said that they did see a very big fly that landed on Pei Lian's buttocks. King Wei will help Pei Lin to catch flies.
"You people are blatantly bullying the king, aren't you afraid that the emperor will not succeed in curing your crimes." Pei Lin trembled with anger, pointed at Luo Tong and the others with his finger, and said tremblingly.
It's no wonder that Pei Lin is angry, it's late autumn now, and it's about to enter winter. Where did the flies come from, and besides, they are still on the Jinluan Palace.
"Let me ask you, how much benefit you have received from Li Xiaochang. even joined him to openly slander the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Do you know what kind of guilt it is? Li Tai pointed his finger at Pei Lin and asked loudly.
At this time, Pei Lin really met the soldier in a show, and he couldn't explain it reasonably. can only cry to Li Shimin with tears and let Li Shimin make decisions for him.
Li Chengqian saw that Li Tai was messing around, so he wanted to take this opportunity to find some trouble for Li Tai. So he continued to say to Li Shimin: "Father, the emperor's brother is making trouble in the court today, which is really a big disrespectful crime, and I also ask my father to punish the crime, so as to calm the mouths of the ministers." ”
Hearing the words of the crown prince Li Chengqian, Li Shimin's face became even more angry. He pointed at Li Tai with his hand and said loudly: "You rebel, it's not enough to make trouble outside. Dare to sprinkle and mess around on the Jinluan Palace, it seems that if I don't punish you today, you really feel that you are lawless. ”
Seeing that Li Shimin really wanted to punish himself, Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Father, although the son's actions just now were a little excessive. But please also ask my father to understand that his son's innocent body was framed. It's understandable to be emotional for a while. ”
"Shao was there and I were like a spring, and someone came to pull King Wei down and hit the thirty boards. Then pull back to the Jinluan Palace, and I will personally examine the injuries. If it is found that you and other subordinates are merciful and do not seriously enforce the law. I will punish you and the King of Wei for the same crime. Li Shimin said tremblingly.
As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, two Qianniuwei put Li Tai out. Then outside the Jinluan Palace, there was a heart-rending scream. The crowd who listened couldn't help but feel creepy.
