Chapter six hundred and twentieth

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Arriving at the Xue family with great anxiety, Xiao Han cautiously asked the housekeeper of the Xue house who came out: "Butler, is Xue Shou at home now?"

The old housekeeper of the Xue Mansion had great respect for Xiao Han, the future uncle. Hearing this, he immediately bowed his back and replied: "Back to the Marquis, the eldest son drank too much last night. He didn't sleep long after coming back. He went to court again this morning."

"He went to court? Oh, how could I forget this!"

When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief!

He had forgotten that he did not need to go to court, but Xue Shou and the others had to clock in and go to work. Moreover, with their official status, as long as they were in Chang'an, they were required to attend not only the major court meetings, but also the daily small court meetings!

Thinking about having to get up before dawn every day to go to court, Xiao Han couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude to Li Yuan for giving him a holiday.

This is the real good person! When you retire gloriously, I will come to play with you when I have nothing to do...

"Hey, that's not right! There was such a big fuss yesterday, no one will find trouble with them today!"

Just now he breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have to face his uncle. Thinking of going to court, Xiao Han suddenly felt excited, but he started to worry about these brothers and sisters in trouble!

However, when he thought more deeply, he felt that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.

"It's just a brothel destroyed and a restaurant forced to buy! It's not a big deal! The imperial court has so many big things every day, why do you bother to care about such trivial matters?"

After taking a soothing pill for himself, Xiao Han's mood immediately improved again. He threw away the old butler who looked puzzled and trotted towards the back house of Xue Mansion.

<[Youyou Reading www.uutxt.info]br/>I don’t know how Sun Simiao is doing, and when Xue Pan will be fully recovered! In the past few days, he has not even returned to Sanyuan County, and has been spending time in Chang'an.

.

At this moment, Xiao Han, who had been completely silent about the love between his children, did not expect it!

Normally the court really doesn't care about these little things!

But now, Prince Li Jiancheng had already thought of suppressing Li Shimin, so he was naturally very concerned about the whereabouts of Li Shimin and his men.

As soon as the incident happened last night, he had already received detailed information.

Early this morning, before the palace door was opened, some people from the prince's faction were already gearing up to kill the majesty of the second highness!

The court of the Tang Dynasty is a little strange now, or a little unusual!

It stands to reason that since the emperor was at the peak of his power in the Spring and Autumn Period, the fight between the princes should have been kept under water and unknown to the public!

But in today's Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin's martial arts skills are so great that most of the generals in the court are at his command!

Although Li Yuan loves his sons, it does not mean that he will dote on them uncontrollably!

So with his conscious or unconscious connivance, the prince also controlled the entire civil servant group of Datang!

As a result, the current civil and military forces are separated and restrict each other, and Li Yuan is in the middle to mediate the strange situation.

I have to say, Li Yuan’s hand is really beautiful!

He knew very well that he could not conquer the world without Li Shimin! But if he was not restrained, the phenomenon of strong ministers and weak kings would appear! He also did not want his son to become a powerful minister like Huo Guang.

In this case, someone needs to restrict and suppress him!

After thinking about it, Li Yuansi could only hand over the conflicting points to his eldest son Li Jiancheng and control the balance himself! After all, if he suppressed it himself, he would break the hearts of his son and the generals! Now that the world is not stable, the morale of the military cannot be shaken at all!

At the beginning of the morning today, all the generals, including Li Shimin, were listless.

They experienced the pain of hangover as much as Xiao Han did! The feeling of a splitting headache was truly unforgettable! Now they just hoped that they could go to court early so that they could go back and catch up on some sleep.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned!

After talking about a bunch of trivial matters about sesame seeds and mung beans, a middle-aged official from the Ministry of Punishment glanced at the prince and stood up.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu was patrolling the streets last night, and someone hurriedly reported to the police that there were thugs causing trouble at night! The two Marquis Wu under my command rushed to the scene, but were beaten so violently that they are still unconscious!"

The middle-aged official spoke in a deep voice, but only talked about things and ignored the characters.

Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair and frowned when he heard this.

However, he is not frowning over such a trivial matter!

There are countless dandies in Chang'an, and troubles and beatings are common in the evening!

It’s just that the most powerful person in the past was only reported to Dali Temple. Why did he deliberately come to the court to speak today?

"Oh, who are those people? Have they been arrested?" Li Yuan looked at the official from the Ministry of Justice and asked calmly.

The official from the Ministry of Justice who just spoke lowered his head, his eyes flashed, and then he cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, I haven't yet..."

"Then send officials from Dali Temple to supervise the matter!" Li Yuan said calmly and planned to drop the matter.

But he didn't realize that from the very beginning, Changsun Wuji, Chai Shao and the others' expressions were extremely rich!

Li Shimin stood at the head of the line of military attachés, and his heart suddenly moved as he watched the official from the Ministry of Justice who spoke!

Not only does he have extraordinary military talents, but he is also naturally sensitive to politics!

From this man's brief words, Li Shimin smelled a hint of conspiracy!

"What does he want to do?" Li Shimin's mind changed rapidly! After thinking about it, in order not to be led by others, he simply stood up.

"Father... this matter was caused by my son's drunken behavior! I beg your father to punish me!"

"You did this?"

Li Yuan glanced at his son strangely, then looked at Chai Shao and others who stood up at the same time, and he suddenly understood!

"No wonder, it turns out that this matter involves Erlang!" Li Yuan understood in his heart, and then glanced at Li Jiancheng who was sitting quietly, but he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

His eldest son seems calm, but this method is too shallow! Even if you want to attack Li Shimin? At least find something serious! What effect can such a trivial matter have?

"Getting drunk? Don't act recklessly! But since you admit your mistake sincerely, I will fine you a hundred catties of copper and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment as a warning to others!"

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and then made a decision on the matter. Li Shimin and others also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It's just a fine, a trivial matter! I'll ask Xiao Han for reimbursement!

Just when everyone thought they had understood the matter, no one noticed that the criminal official who quietly returned to the team had a hint of ridicule on his lips. His mission had been completed. Next, it was time for someone else to appear.

"His Majesty!"

Just when Li Yuan wanted to retire without incident, another rather elderly official from the Ministry of Rites stood up.

He bowed his hands towards Li Yuan tremblingly, then turned his head and looked at Li Shimin. His half-open old eyes actually had a stern look hidden in them.

"Your Majesty knows that His Highness the King of Qin lost his composure after drinking, but do you know where he lost his composure?"
