Chapter 924: The Minister Excuses Resignation
"Wei Zheng committed suicide?" Li Xiu couldn't help but pluck out his ears when he heard the news, and there was a look of doubt on his face, if it was in the future life, he would definitely think that today was April Fool's Day, so someone would make such a clumsy joke.
But soon Li Xiu didn't think it was a joke, because he saw that the imperial doctor was running in the direction of the Liangyi Hall with the medicine box, which made him and the eldest grandson Wuji also startled, and then immediately turned to the Liangyi Palace, but when they arrived at the Liangyi Palace, they found that the entire hall was also in chaos.
"What's going on?" Li Xiu saw Fu Yi in the crowd at a glance, and immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other party and asked.
"Alas, it's not because of the fact that King Yue lived in the Wude Palace, so today Dr. Wei once again admonished His Majesty, but His Majesty didn't listen at all, and finally forced Dr. Wei to die as a warning, and hit the pillar headlong, fortunately we pulled him at the last moment, which saved Dr. Wei's life, but even so, he still hit his head and bled out, and now the imperial doctor is bandaging Dr. Wei!" I saw Fu Yi sigh and replied at this time.
Hearing that Wei Zheng actually hit the pillar headlong for the sake of admonition, Li Xiu couldn't help but look at the eldest grandson Wuji, especially Li Xiu, he always thought that this was a bridge that would only appear in the wild history, but he didn't expect to appear in front of him alive, and it was also a demonstration made by the famous Wei Zheng himself.
But now is not the time to think about this, at the moment Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji stepped into the inner hall, compared to the outside, it was much quieter here, I saw Li Shimin sitting on it with a gloomy face, and Wei Zheng was sitting there cross-legged and glared at Li Shimin, and there were two imperial doctors next to him to help him bandage it, and the white gauze also showed a little bit of Yin Hong's blood.
Even the sharp-eyed Li Xiu saw that the pillar next to him was also stained with blood, and I heard Fu Yi just say that this was the result of a few of them blocking it, otherwise there would not only be blood stains on the pillar now, maybe even the brain, as for Wei Zheng, he would not be curing his injuries now, but letting people collect the corpse.
"See Your Majesty!" Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the situation in the inner hall, and then saluted Li Shimin.
"It's just right to come, you give me a review, this world is still not mine, is it possible that I arrange where my son lives, and I have to get the consent of others?" When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu and the others, he also suppressed his anger and asked, but looking at the way his chest fell together, it was estimated that Wei Zheng was not lightly angry, but in his anger, people could also detect Li Shimin's lack of heart, after all, this matter was originally his fault first.
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji glanced at each other again, and the eldest grandson Wuji just wanted to speak, but he didn't expect Wei Zheng, who was sitting on the ground, to take the lead and say: "The royal affairs are state affairs, and the ministers are the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally have to be loyal to the country, if Your Majesty still insists on going their own way, then the ministers will die here today!" ”
Wei Zheng's words also revealed a sense of determination, it seems that he has made up his mind to die today, if Li Shimin does not let Li Tai move out of the Wude Palace, I am afraid that he really intends to die here, and then Li Shimin will inevitably end up with a reputation of being loyal to death, which is also the last thing Li Shimin, who has always cherished his reputation, wants to see.
"Your Majesty's meaning is understood by the minister, and the minister can also understand His Majesty's love for his son, but what Dr. Wei said is also reasonable, so from the minister's point of view, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run!" Eldest Sun Wuji also said with both sides at this time, if it was something else, he would definitely stand on Li Shimin's side without hesitation, but this matter was so unpopular that even Eldest Sun Wuji himself was unwilling, but it was not good to oppose Li Shimin face to face, so he could only use this compromise method.
Seeing that even the eldest Sun Wuji refused to support him, Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy, and then he turned his head to look at Li Xiu and asked, "Don Ma, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Following Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Zheng also looked at Li Xiu, only to see Li Xiu take a step forward at this time, and then took out a copy of the fold from his sleeve and said, "Please resign!" ”
As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, not only Li Shimin and Wei Zheng were stunned, but even the eldest grandson Wuji, who came with Li Xiu, was also stunned, and for a while, the three of them couldn't figure out what Li Xiu meant?
After a long while, Li Shimin came to his senses, and asked with a solemn face: "What do you mean?" ”
"The minister feels that his talents are limited, and he is really unable to take on the post of financial supervisor, so he specially asked His Majesty to resign and ask His Majesty to appoint another minister with outstanding ability to take up this position!" At this time, Li Xiu presented the fold with both hands, and the expression on his face was also very resolute, as if he was determined to be an important official.
"You ......" Li Shimin's heart was also on fire when he heard this, he was about to be angry with Wei Zheng, but Li Xiu gave him another resignation, which naturally made him even more annoyed, but then he reacted, and said angrily at the moment, "I understand, Wei Zheng is going to admonish each other with his life, you want to resign now, do you not agree with my decision, and want to let my Tai'er move out of the Wude Palace!" ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Xiu lowered his head directly and gave him a tacit acquiescence, in fact, he had already thought about it yesterday, if Li Shimin really insisted on Li Tai living in the Wude Palace, then he would simply resign and go home to educate his children, and never get involved in their old Li family's affairs in the future.
Seeing Li Xiu bowing his head and being silent, Li Shimin also felt angry in his heart, originally he thought that Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji could stand on his side, but he didn't expect that one of the two of them would be with thin mud, and the other directly threatened to resign and ask him to take back his life, how could he not be angry?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, the minister thinks this matter is too complicated, it is better to stop here today, and it is not too late to discuss this matter tomorrow!" At this moment, I saw the eldest grandson Wuji cough dryly and stepped forward again, he was also looking for a step down for Li Shimin, after all, even Li Xiu was against this matter, and Wei Zheng was not afraid of death, it can be said that Li Shimin could only give in in the end, and a day of postponement could save Li Shimin's face.
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin finally regained some senses, and at that moment he stared at him and suppressed his anger and said: "Li Xiu, you take back the resignation, I will not agree, Wei Zheng, don't be in a hurry to seek death, I am tired today, and I will discuss this matter tomorrow!" ”
Li Shimin stood up as he spoke, flicked his sleeves and turned around and left, not giving Li Xiu and Wei Zheng a chance to talk at all, Wei Zheng was struggling to stand up, it seemed that he wanted to stop Li Shimin from letting him go, with Wei Zheng's character, he definitely did this kind of thing, and even forced Li Shimin to let Li Tai move out of the palace today, but he was stopped by Li Xiu, after all, Li Shimin is the emperor anyway, and it is not good to force him too quickly.
"Why didn't you tell me beforehand, so I could prepare?" As soon as Li Shimin left, the eldest grandson Wuji complained to Li Xiu, after all, Li Xiu directly threatened to resign just now, and he didn't know anything in advance.
"It's enough for me to have this kind of thing, and I don't need Brother Wuji at all!" Li Xiu said with a smile at this time.
In fact, the reason why Li Xiu didn't tell the other party in advance was mainly because he and the eldest grandson Wuji were in a different situation, he didn't have any nostalgia for the official position, and even resigning was equivalent to unloading a heavy burden for him, but it was impossible for the eldest grandson Wuji not to take the official position in his eyes like him, let alone take resignation as a threat like him, so even if he told the other party in advance, it would only embarrass the eldest grandson Wuji, so he simply didn't say it.
"Don Ma, thank you for your help this time, although Your Majesty has not expressed his position now, but I estimate that he will soon let King Yue move out of the Wude Palace!" At this moment, I saw Wei Zheng standing up holding on to the pillar, and then thanked Li Xiu weakly.
Wei Zheng really had the will to die today, although he was stopped by Fu Yi and others when he hit the pillar, he was still seriously injured, and he shed a lot of blood alone, not to mention that he still injured his head, and now he is also a little faint, which is definitely a concussion in the future life, so Li Xiu also hurriedly supported him at this time and said: "Doctor Wei, you are too impulsive today, even if Your Majesty is confused for a while, you can't commit death to admonish you!" ”
"There is no way for you, the fault of the minister, if Your Majesty insists on going his own way, there is no need to keep my old life!" Wei Zheng was holding his body at this time, and spoke again with a resolute face.
Although Li Xiu used to think that Wei Zheng was too old-fashioned and not easy to get along with, but now he has to admire his courage to sacrifice himself for the country, after all, in the face of this matter, Li Xiu only threatened to resign, and absolutely did not have the courage to kill himself.
However, Wei Zheng's body is too weak now, and he must take a good rest, so Li Xiu also personally helped him out of the main hall, and then sent him to the carriage back to the house to rest. After Wei Zheng left, Li Xiu also said goodbye to his eldest grandson Wuji, and then went to the financial supervision to deal with official business, although he said that he wanted to resign, but it was only to threaten Li Shimin, after all, the banking system was not complete, and he would not give up easily, of course, if Li Shimin really agreed to his resignation, he would never be nostalgic.
Because Li Xiu did not come yesterday, there was a lot of official business backlogged today, and as a result, he was busy until it was getting late, so he took care of all the things, and then took the carriage back home, at this time the family had already prepared dinner, and was waiting for him to come back to eat together.
It's just that when Li Xiu came to the restaurant, he suddenly noticed something unusual, and looked up at it at the moment, only to find that there was an extra girl in the hall, which made him laugh and say, "Why are you here?" ”
The extra girl in the family is Li Liqian, her health is not good, she often comes to Li Xiu here to study and treat, and she often lives in Li Xiu's house, but some time ago, Empress Changsun was sick, and she, as the eldest daughter, naturally has to serve in front of her mother's bed, and she has not been here for a long time.
"Husband, you're coming back late, let's eat first!" As soon as Li Xiu's words fell, I saw Princess Pingyang speak first, and she glanced at Li Xiu when she spoke, as if she didn't want Li Xiu to ask again.
