Chapter 741: Tough Resolution
The next morning, not long after the beginning, Wei Zheng, Zhang Xuansu led by a group of old stubborn kneeling in the center of the hall, a group of old ministers tearfully recited the hard work written yesterday, scolded Li Shimin for killing innocents indiscriminately, and the angry Li Shimin almost jumped up from the dragon chair and beat people regardless of his image.
“....... Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a person who has been sentenced to death for speech, but His Majesty lit up the butcher's knife yesterday, and more than ten people were stained with blood at the mouth of the vegetable market, which made the people of the world panic and fearful, which is really a big crime! I also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to condemn oneself to avenge the souls of the dead. After speaking, Wei Zheng knocked his head on the ground a few times.
Several ministers behind him also followed suit, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, asking Li Shimin to issue an edict to condemn himself and avenge the wrongs of those who died yesterday.
Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, several more ministers in the court stood up and seconded what Wei Zheng said.
"Ridiculous!" Li Shimin patted the dragon chair and said angrily: "It's ridiculous!" How am I going to execute a few prisoners, and it's your turn to talk more? Lying about the royal family, spreading rumors and slandering is a big crime, and it is the same as deliberately rebelling, so I sentenced them to behead them in the vegetable market, what's wrong? ”
Wei Zheng is notoriously stubborn, and when he heard the words, he had a stalk in his neck, and he bumped into it: "Your Majesty, what those people said is not false, Princess Linchuan and Chen Fei did have a ....... some time ago."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" The eldest grandson Wuji coughed desperately, constantly glancing at Wei and signaling him not to talk nonsense.
Wei Zheng paused for a moment, skipped this passage and continued to speak, but Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers were focused, and there was no other expression on his face, and it could be seen that he was really angry.
"Enough! Say no more! How many people still think that I have done something inappropriate, and those who seconded Wei Zheng, stand up! ”
Wei Zheng froze for a moment, and looked up at Li Shimin in disbelief, in the past, no matter how angry His Majesty was, he would definitely respect himself and let himself finish speaking, but today....... Wei Zheng smelled the unusual and asked, Your Majesty's actions in the past two days must have some deep meaning!
Wei Zheng was able to get mixed up to this point, definitely not because he just had a passion and gave him a direct advice when he encountered something. If you just know how to contradict Li Shimin, and point to Li Shimin's nose every day and say that, you can definitely guarantee that you won't be alive now, and maybe you will be dragged down and beheaded by a reason.
Although he Wei Zheng is not as smooth as the eldest grandson Wuji, he definitely has an eye and knows when to do something and when to take a step back. Today, Li Shimin's attitude is obviously abnormal, and his old man has calculated a hexagram in his heart, and it seems... That's pretty much the end of the day.
So Wei Zheng lowered his head, knelt on the ground and stopped speaking, intending to see how things would go next.
"The ministers seconded what Lord Wei Zheng said!" Several ministers stood up in the court, and then several ministers seconded and stood up together.
Li Shimin squinted slightly, glanced at some places in the court, and sneered after seeing that no one stood up again: "Hehe, it's good, it's all good, it's really getting less and less in my eyes, Your Majesty." I tell you that not only will I not issue an edict to condemn myself, but I will also draw up one more law, and from now on, anyone who slanders or spreads rumors and has a bad impact on the royal family will be killed! ”
"Wow!" The ministers were in an uproar, never expecting that Li Shimin's attitude would be so different today. It is just that so many ministers did not listen to their pleas, and they actually drafted an additional decree so strongly, which is really incomprehensible.
However, not everyone didn't understand, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin, and then looked at some directions in the court, as if he understood something, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin dropped the second bombshell. "I also have a resolution, it is about Chen Fei and Princess Linchuan, since the rumors have spread, I don't want to disgrace the royal family, it is better to fulfill the two of them, and choose an auspicious day for the two to marry."
No way! Just agreed to the marriage of Princess Linchuan and Chen Fei? Everyone was a little dizzy, they never expected this day to come so suddenly.
Although it can be seen from His Majesty's previous attitude that His Majesty intends to fulfill Princess Linchuan and Chen Fei, the ministers never thought that a marriage that had dragged on for so long would actually be photographed like this.
Many ministers opened their mouths and wanted to say that this was inappropriate, and the royal princess had always been married to a famous family, or a prince of another country. But if you think about it carefully, first, this is Li Shimin's family, and outsiders will be disgusted if they talk about it more, and second, the raw rice is almost cooked, isn't it a slap in the face to oppose it now? Third, Chen Fei's ability is quite big, and it seems that he is paired with a royal princess... Doesn't seem like much?
So everyone looked at each other a few times, and everyone stood up against it. However, after hearing the news, the ministers reacted differently, some were loyal to Chen Fei, such as Cheng Yanjin, and some had Xiao Jiujiu hidden in their hearts. For example, Li Chengqian, Li Tai.
What's more, I sighed in my heart, knowing that Chen Fei's rise was unstoppable. Originally, he was a hairy boy with no background, but now? After marrying the princess, he is an authentic royal relative, and with His Majesty supporting him behind his back, how many people in the court dare to get along with him? I'm afraid I'm going to slap him.
Li Shimin saw that everyone had no surprising reactions, and before the early dynasty left, he lightly dropped a sentence: "Because Chen Fei resisted the attack of the Western Regions and invented the thunderbolt fire to defeat the enemy, I decided to give it a strange phenology, let's disperse the dynasty." ”
Then, Li Shimin stepped off the dragon chair when everyone was still stunned, and left with the support of the eunuchs. A group of ministers looked at each other.
Strange... Odd phenology? A grassroots boy who is young in the grade and only sixteen years old, does not rely on the merits of his ancestors, but relies on his own efforts, not only married the princess of the Tang Dynasty, but also was... Sealed marquis? How old is he! Sixteen years old! How can many of the old ministers present who are forty or fifty years old and have not made much merit live? Everyone had the urge to crash to death.
"Hahahaha!" Among the crowd, Cheng Yanjin is undoubtedly the happiest, for him, the more Chen Fei is out, the more the Cheng family can be stained.
Cheng Yanjin is very glad that he was discerning and tied Chen Fei to his chariot early, not to mention that the good relationship with Chen Fei in the early stage brought huge wealth to the Cheng family, let's talk about the political investment in the later stage, I believe that in addition to Li Jing, the old fox, no one in the DPRK and China is better than him Cheng Yanjin.
"Hey, hey, hey! Have fun today! Go back and have a drink! Cheng Yanjin's heroic laughter attracted countless envious eyes, everyone knows that Chen Fei and Cheng Yanjin have a close relationship, and now that Chen Fei is in power, the coolest thing is, of course, Cheng Yanjin.
Chen Fei ...... "After the ministers dispersed, King Wei still stood in place holding his chin and thinking." Why do you keep refusing to use me? ”
