Chapter 567: A farce in the court
"Ha~ It's so boring!" Chen Fei lay on the table, bored looking at the small skylight at the top of the prison, which was the only place in the prison where he could see the sky. Occasionally, a bird would stop on the skylight, chirp a few times, and then fly away.
"It's been half a month since I came in, why hasn't Your Majesty let me out, how long is this going to lock me up." Chen Fei muttered dissatisfiedly.
In prison for half a month, in addition to eating, drinking, sleeping, and writing copywriting, he has now solved all the things to do, and has completed the contracts of those dealers in his hand, including the store design, and entrusted them to take them out.
Now he really doesn't know what to do, and he feels like he's going to soar in the middle of being so bored.
He was happy in prison, but in the court outside, there was a commotion!
This morning, the doctor Zhang Wei came out and stated Chen Fei's five sins, including contradicting the prince, accepting bribes privately, and defrauding the minister's family property.
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
As we all know, although Chen Fei has a nonsense temperament, he has always been a very low-key person in the court, so low-key that many ministers in the court have little influence on him at all.
But such an unaffected person was actually exposed to five crimes today, and each crime must be severely punished, not to mention that he himself is now in prison.
People with a keen sense of political smell, such as Changsun Wuji and others, obviously feel that this is a political battle against Chen Fei, the so-called five crimes are just to pave the way for the rest of the matter, and the next thing to greet Chen Fei must be a more fierce attack!
Sure enough, soon, dozens of people such as Zhongcheng and Zhongshu Sheren of the imperial history of the court stood up and seconded the conviction of Chen Fei.
Cheng Jin, who was standing in the military general train, raised his eyebrows, and secretly said in his heart that it was bad, as shrewd as he was, he naturally saw that this was a conspiracy against Chen Fei, and what made him feel even more serious was that these people who participated in Chen Fei were all from the prince's faction!
The prince wants to bring down Chen Fei! I don't know where this little rabbit cub provoked His Royal Highness the Prince. Cheng Biting Jin scolded secretly, and was about to go out to argue for Chen Fei, suddenly, a pair of powerful big hands grabbed him, turned his head to look, and the old rival Chi Gong shook his head silently at him with a cold face, and gently pointed at the expressionless Li Shimin.
Cheng Yanjin suddenly woke up, glanced at the grateful Chaowei Chi Gong, and then stood back in his position silently, half-closed his eyes, and didn't hear anything.
He is a military general, and military generals do not participate in politics This is the consensus of all military attaches in the Tang Dynasty, but if their own interests are not involved, they will never speak out, especially for a hairy boy!
What do you want to do when you, a high-powered general, jump up and down for a little stunned man with a sharp weapon in his hand? Join forces to rebel?
So no matter how they made trouble or how the situation was unfavorable to Chen Fei, as long as it was not a last resort, Cheng Yanjin couldn't stand up and speak, so he chose to stand by and watch.
Anyway, it was Li Shimin who made the decision, what did he care? If you don't stand until the last moment, you can take a look, and your majesty won't really punish Chen Fei.
In addition to Cheng Biting Jin in the court, several other people who had a good relationship with Chen Fei had a very tacit understanding and remained silent at the same time. From this, it can be concluded that Chen Fei's character is really... Sucks?
In fact, it is not necessarily the case, Chen Fei's sturdy people in the court are all old and sophisticated guys, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, such as Cheng Biting Jin, all the ghosts and ghosts, and their analysis of the situation is far stronger than the people who jump out to mix with him now.
Just because of these few crimes, you want Your Majesty to add guilt to him? Possibly? You fools don't know that Chen Fei is now His Majesty's heart? Just developing the Thunderbolt Fire is many times stronger than those of you who can grind your tongue, and I think that as long as it is not an outrageous thing like rebellion, Li Shimin will not severely punish Chen Fei.
In fact, the old fox deserves to be an old fox, Li Shimin's mind was guessed very thoroughly by them, but if it does not touch his own interests, he will never touch Chen Fei, on the contrary, he will protect him. It's just that.......
"The Prince's people? Hum! What the hell is Qian'er doing, don't you know how important Chen Fei is to my Datang? What does he want to do? ”
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, who was sitting below, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, looked at everyone expressionlessly, and took everyone's expressions into his eyes.
Li Chengqian's sneer, Li Tai's affairs are not his business, and Li Zhi's anxiety is taken into account by Li Shimin one by one. He had another comment on the three sons.
"That's it! Shut up! "His Royal Highness's ministers have been arguing for a while, and Li Shimin has finally put an end to this farce." Chen Fei's crime will come up with conclusive evidence and then make a conclusion, and now discuss other things, if there is nothing to do, then retreat from the court! ”
The ministers below who originally participated in Chen Fei were stunned and looked up at Li Shimin in disbelief. They talked for a long time, their mouths were going to be dry, and they brought it over with a word?
At the same time, these people turned their attention to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian secretly scolded: "Stupid pig." Then with the support of the eunuchs beside him, he got up with great effort, saluted Li Shimin, and said: "Father, that Chen Fei has repeatedly been unhelpful to me and other princes, and has contempt for the majesty of the royal family, so the sons and daughters suggest that they go......."
"! Sit down! Li Shimin shouted coldly.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Li Shimin's cold and disappointed expression, and his heart immediately became frightened, and he hurriedly retreated. "Erchen Meng Lang, Erchen knows his mistake."
Li Shimin nodded slightly, glanced at His Highness, and said indifferently: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still have something to do?" ”
The big guys below were silent, and the group of people who were originally the most ferocious people saw that the prince was scolded back, and they suddenly shrank in the crowd like quails.
The eunuch Wanfu saw that the ministers were silent, stood in front and shouted three times, "If there is something to do, play it early, and if there is nothing to retreat from." After three sounds, no one played again, and officially retired from the court.
The farce in the court came to an end for the time being, Li Shimin brushed his sleeves and returned to the palace, and Li Chengqian sat on the spot with a pale face.
Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian in the palace, sneered, and also shook his hand and left.
Li Chengqian suddenly came back to his senses, staring at Li Tai's departing gaze, his face was sometimes gloomy, sometimes ruthless.
"Your Highness... It's not too early, it's time to go home. The eunuch next to him kindly reminded Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian came back to his senses and glanced at the eunuch, who hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped Li Chengqian to go back.
In the Prince's Mansion, Yang Qingzheng was in a good mood at the moment, he stood at the door of the mansion, sometimes tiptoeing and looking into the distance, as if he was looking forward to something, with a happy smile on his face.
"Hey, hey! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should join forces with the courtiers to join Chen Fei today, if it goes well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should almost bring down Chen Fei, right? "Yang Qingzheng thinks very well. Chen Fei has been imprisoned for so many days, he must have lost his holy grace, and it is most appropriate for the joint courtiers to launch a round of onslaught against him at this time, but I don't know if the current result is that he lost his life or lost his official position.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, no matter which one is lost, Chen Fei's life will not be easy, then his goal will be achieved.
Thinking of this, Yang Qingzheng raised the corners of his mouth happily. If the matter is done, it is estimated that he will be appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will be assigned an official position to himself when the time comes... It's not difficult!
At this moment, a team of carriages and horses suddenly appeared at the end of the street, and when I looked closely, it was Li Chengqian's team.
"It's coming!" Yang Qingzheng clenched his fists excitedly and walked up quickly.......
