Section 45: Impeachment

Just as Ye Tan finished some things that needed to be prepared and handed them over to Li Chengqian for a day, he was called out from the Sui Garden by the guards in front of the palace. His Majesty the Emperor was looking for him because Zheng Benyu and other people from several aristocratic families had already spoken in the court.

, His majesty, the majesty of the emperor, actually let his son get involved in the affairs of merchants. This is taking advantage of the people. This happened just after the country was established. As time goes by, it will become troublesome. This is a sign of the country's demise.

Ah, and as soon as they heard that this matter was directed by Ye Tan, the people of these big families were even more happy. Now they can deal with this kid properly.

When Ye Tan arrived at the entrance of the palace, Li Chengqian happened to be rushing over from the East Palace. This boy's life has not been easy recently, because he and Ye Tan were playing a little wild, so many times, his behavior was a little unruly, so those royal guards

Shi and the teacher would educate him, and even after he was so noisy, he still had to go to Li Shimin to complain. This feeling was really refreshing.

The two looked at each other. Ye Tan's eyes meant, "Don't be afraid, I'm here again." Li Chengqian's eyes meant, "Okay, brother, I'll scold all these people to death this time."

After the two were recruited, everything here seemed so familiar. On one side were the military attaches and on the other were the civil servants. His Majesty stood in front, high up, wearing a dragon robe that was domineering, with a crown on his head, and his feet on the throne, with an angry look on his face.

Looking at the group of people standing in the middle below, these people's mouths are really poisonous. Li Shimin, who always thought he had a good temper, was so angry that he almost fainted.

Since ancient times, wherever there are people, there have been rivers and lakes, and the court is the largest river and lake. A small step by the people here may be the destruction and revival of a village or a county a hundred thousand miles away. This is why Sun Tzu said at the beginning of The Art of War,

The temple wins.

It's a pity that the Chinese people finally regard these things as bargaining chips to show off, which is the beginning of tragedy.

Before Ye Tan and Li Chengqian arrived, a group of people led by Zheng Benyu were criticizing Li Shimin for condoning the shameless behavior of the prince and Songzhou Hou, thinking that this was a shame for the country. How could such a person stand in the court, even if he was breathing with him?

It would be difficult to survive under the same sky. If these guys didn't really have any power, Ye Tan and the prince would not be able to escape death.

"I wonder what Aiqing's plans are?" Li Shimin's anger seemed to come out of his nose, and he stared at Zheng Benyu with wide eyes. An ordinary minister would have given up on it a long time ago. Unfortunately, Zheng Benyu was not like that.

I have so many worries, who am I? I am from the Zheng family, and many of those who follow me are members of big families. What are I afraid of?

"The prince has thought about it for three months. Ye Tan went to Juejiao Dali Temple for trial." Zheng Benyu's words were so cruel that many people who had a good relationship with Ye Tan took a breath. This guy is really cruel. Prince

Thinking about it is actually locking it up and not letting it out, which is basically equivalent to nothing at all. And Ye Tan's approach is quite cruel. If this is really done, if there are no people from the Zheng family who serve as prison officers in Dali Temple,

Talent is weird.

"What do you think?" Li Shimin looked at the people at the bottom of the steps and asked in a deep voice. Many of these people were his die-hard loyalists, but most of them still had no relationship with him.

Most of them are Li Yuan's ministers. Now he is not able to control such a huge power. Therefore, Li Shimin, who has just ascended the throne, has almost no other option except compromise.

"I think what Mr. Zheng said is true." A group of ministers from big families spoke in unison, making Fang Xuanling and others unable to get a word in.

Li Shimin felt that when he heard the news, he felt a bit like his own children being bullied. He was about to use force to suppress the matter, but he saw Ye Tan and Prince Li Chengqian walking over with a smile.

"Ye Tan, what do you have to say?" Although Li Shimin thought that Ye Tan was not old, he had a very bad temper. It would be great if he could make a few people angry to death. When he asked this, Li Chengqian quickly found a place to hide.

, I am still too immature to be bullied randomly.

"Your Majesty, please pull down this executioner and chop him down." Ye Tan glanced at the group of people and found that there were people from the Xie family among them. Although it was a secret to kill the people from the Xie family, the most powerful person in the world

The scary thing is that the secret cannot be kept at all. After these days, the Xie family will definitely take action. Although the person who died is a side branch, their money is not a side branch. Sometimes interests will destroy a person's money.

The bloodline has changed, and this is due to interests.

"What?" Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others were dumbfounded. What did this kid mean? He asked the emperor to pull Zheng Benyu out and chop him to death. He also said that this man was an executioner. This was interesting.

A few people who were still drowsy at first, such as Li Gang, immediately became energetic. This is a good show that you cannot miss.

"Me, the executioner?" Zheng Benyu pointed at himself and asked, when did he become the executioner?

"Yes." Ye Tan answered simply, as if he didn't hear the other person's sarcasm at all.

"We read the books of sages and take it as our duty to cultivate ourselves, govern the country and bring peace to the world. You actually call us executioners. Boy, I think you are too courageous and are simply lawless. In a few years, you will become even more violent. This is

If people do not take action to discipline them, they will not be a blessing to the world."

"Your Majesty, please pull out this pseudo-Confucian disciple and execute him in Lingchi." After hearing what he said, Ye Tan spoke very directly, which made everyone even more stunned. This kid got angry, and it turned out that he even

All scared.

"I don't know how he is a pseudo-Confucian disciple?" Li Shimin naturally wouldn't do this. Now is the time to stabilize people's hearts, and they can't do whatever they want, but that's not necessarily what they think in their hearts.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Where does this sentence come from?" Ye Tan suddenly asked, making everyone stunned. At this time, they were discussing how to kill you. What do you mean by asking this?

"The Analects of Confucius by Saint Kong." Although Zheng Benyu was also stunned, he still answered seriously with his hands in hand, and his manner was completely messed up.

"So you know. Then, Your Majesty, please pull this man down and behead him." As soon as Ye Tan heard this, he knew he had won and said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Xie Xuelong, the head of the Xie family who had been following Zheng Benyu, asked in confusion. He was very angry about Ye Tan's behavior towards the family members in Songzhou. If there was a chance, he would definitely do it directly

The rhythm of death, his current official position is not high, and he is also a sinecure in the court, but because of the family behind him, their right to speak is more important.

As for Xie Zhaofeng and Xie Xunsi, they are just two dogs in the family. If they die, they are dead, but the benefits cannot be given up.

"When I came here just now, I heard that you were impeaching me for doing business with the prince, right?" Ye Tan looked at Xie Xuelong and asked.

"So what? Isn't it wrong?" Xie Xuelong asked dissatisfiedly, what does this kid want to do?

"Let's not talk about whether we do business or not. It belongs to scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. There is nothing wrong with it, but you insist on saying that he is humble. Why?" Ye Tan asked in confusion.

Xie Xuelong can be said to be very familiar with this type of issue. "Since ancient times, businessmen have been pursuing profit and cannot promote it if they are not engaged in production."

"Oh. Look, if someone in the Xie family fails to become a talented person, will you beat him to death directly, drive him out of the house, or not let him live?" Ye Tan continued to ask.

"Our Xie family is the heirloom of farming and education. How can we do those things? Naturally, we are just giving a mouthful of food." Xie Xuelong naturally couldn't say that. There were many people who were kicked out directly, except for the children of the head of the family.

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and businessmen are also his subjects. Instead of treating him well, he despises you. You really have two mouths." Ye Tan said with a smile, causing everyone to wake up.

This kid said this deliberately. As the head of the world, he naturally cannot let anyone feel bad. At this time, what needs to be done, he needs to be educated and fed.

"Moreover, since ancient times, the world has been unstable without farmers, without workers, without wealth, without business, without business. Without farmers, we would not have enough to eat, and the country would not be stable. Without craftsmen, the country's armaments and other weapons would be useless.

If you can't get out, it won't work in that way, whether it's fighting or anything else. As for no business, it means that if the country's products are produced, then they have to be sent to people all over the country if they need them. It's up to you and me.

, or rely on God? You also have to rely on businessmen? What will happen if a person's blood stops flowing?" Ye Tan's words stunned Li Shimin and others. What this kid said makes sense.

"It's nonsense. Businessmen have been at the lowest level since ancient times." Zheng Benyu didn't care about this. The trick he used should be of the kind. No matter how your parents treat you, you have to be filial to them. This kind of routine looks very superficial.

Yes, it is actually very scary. If time goes by, unreasonable love will turn into cruel hunting. This is very common in modern society.

"Since ancient times, are you talking about the time when the Three Emperors ruled the world and the Five Emperors established their destiny, or when Pangu opened the world?" Ye Tan asked back, making Zheng Benyu stunned for a moment, and then became very angry. Who knows when since ancient times, anyway, as soon as he spoke

That's it, but why is this kid asking this?

"No matter what time it is, businessmen are synonymous with treachery." Xie Xuelong answered quickly, suppressing the question.

"Master Xie, are you not from Dali Temple?" Ye Tan continued to ask.

"No, why, you can't say it?" Xie Xuelong asked.

"No, since you are not from Dali Temple, you should know that conviction requires evidence rather than the word "since ancient times". You keep saying that this businessman is bad, that businessman is bad, that he is cunning, and that

People are greedy for profit, but most of the money earned every day by the businessmen in your family is given to people like you who are above you. Isn't it a bit ungrateful to say such a thing?" Ye Tan's last words were harsh.

His eyes were so sharp that even the generals on the side did not dare to look directly at him.

"You are talking nonsense. My family is here to work at the Farming and Reading House. How can I get involved in business affairs? You can't slander others." Xie Xuelong blushed and pointed at Ye Tan.

"Are you Xie Xuelong, the head of the Xie family?" Ye Tan naturally would not be angry for such a person, so he asked directly. When the other party nodded, he said, "Your family has only been prosperous for three hundred years, but you

I won’t say how much land our family has, nor how much money we have. You won’t deny it to the three hundred businessmen outside your family. If you still don’t admit it, do you want me to apply for His Majesty’s order to clear it up?

Checking your family's property, if I say anything wrong, I will kill myself on the spot immediately, but if what I say is true, then your Xie family will..." At this point, Ye Tan did not continue, but Wei Zhengleng

He said coldly, "What are your plans?"

"Kill them all." Ye Tan only said three words, which made everyone in the hall feel cold on their backs. Several generals were embarrassed to look up at them. This kid was too murderous.

"Aren't you afraid of wrongly accusing people?" Wei Zheng continued to ask. Although this kid made a lot of money for the family, he would not show favoritism in these matters.

"A family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has accounted for so much of the people's wealth. Isn't it a joke to say that it was wronged now? No matter how wronged it is, it will not be as wronged as those who were killed by them. I put these words here. If the prince and I really

We admit that we did something wrong, but if what you did was right and we were wrong, then, everyone, if you have family members, do you know how to write the words "until death"? I am a country boy and I don't like it.

Make more turns and twists and turns. If anyone just wants to slander, then I will accompany you. However, I hope you can bear the consequences. When dealing with the Tubo people, my customary behavior is to kill. When dealing with the enemy, I will not kill them all.

, why keep it?”

Seeing Ye Tan's white teeth shining in the light, Zheng Benyu and Xie Xuelong felt a chill go down their backs. This kid was planning to start a war directly. Is he that courageous? Aren't he afraid of the big family's counterattack?

Perhaps, there were only Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin in the lobby knowing that what Ye Tan said was not false. Even Pei Ju didn't ask Ye Tan about it, so they could tell that the matter was more serious than they imagined.

.

Li Shimin was also stunned. This kid looked like a kid in the imperial garden before. He was very cute. He also liked this kid, but when it came to something that touched his bottom line, the word "kill" was on his lips.

Bian, at this time, he seemed to have changed into a different person. If such a person were on the battlefield, he would definitely be a good player, but in Chang'an, wouldn't it be so good? Thinking of this, he understood a little bit what Ye Tan said, I

It's not that I don't want to stay here, but I'm worried that there won't be many people in the court. It's not an empty talk.

"You are cruel, I have nothing to say." Wei Zheng was also frightened by Ye Tan's evil aura. He shook his sleeves and pretended not to see it. It was embarrassing.

"Since you all have no objections, please allow your Majesty to let the prince and I go out to study." After Ye Tan said this, he glanced at the Zheng family and the Xie family without saying a word, but they noticed the look in Ye Tan's eyes.

That cruelty.

I have a delicate body and expensive flesh. Wouldn't it be a pity if I just died like this?

Li Shimin also wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. Although he didn't like businessmen very much, there were some things he couldn't say, so he waved his hands to the two of them and said, "Get out."

Li Chengqian's fear and excitement at the beginning and his calmness later were all seen in everyone's eyes. Several people thought this was a good thing. Such a prince is a blessing to the country.

The two of them saluted and left the lobby. But when they were at the door, Ye Tan suddenly turned around and looked at everyone and said, "Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been built, we need to build and forge ahead in all aspects. If all the adults who cultivate and study the heirlooms really

If you are determined to share the country's worries, please do more practical things. Don't stir up trouble here. Talking about right and wrong is right and wrong. Next time you talk about these things, please find clean clothes to wear first. Don't talk about others.

Ugly, I'm covered in shit. Not only does it stink, the most important thing is that I don't have enough brains and it's embarrassing."

After Ye Tan finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. You are too brave. You threatened the civil and military officials in the grand hall. Do you not want to live anymore? Before anyone could say anything more, Ye Tan had already

Went out.

Zheng Benyu was so angry that he almost fainted. This kid was too courageous. Li Gang seemed to have seen through something. He blinked his eyes and remained silent. However, he didn't just let it go. I don't know who it was recently.

The bastard started a rumor and said that he was the prince killer. This title was liked by Li Shimin. From then on, Li Jiancheng's death could not be entirely attributed to him, but was related to Li Gang. As for Li Gang, he expressed dissatisfaction and himself

After so many years of hard work, I worked hard for a long time, and finally discovered that I was actually a very tough person, and how tough my destiny was. I was dedicated to defeating the prince, my dear. Such a strong destiny is simply rare in the world.

I don't know whether Li Shimin was tempted or not. Anyway, when he told Li Shimin about the bad things about Li Chengqian recently, he found that Li Shimin was a little uninterested, so he became a little jealous.

Li Shimin quite agreed with Ye Tan's words. Talking about right and wrong means right and wrong. This kid still had a lot to say. So, he quickly dismissed the court meeting. As soon as he walked to the back, he heard the chamberlain say,

"Your Majesty, please see Prince Zhan."

Although Li Gang was a prince killer, few people called him by his name in the Tang Dynasty. Even Li Yuan didn't say it at first, because he was an upright person, and because of this, Ye Tan valued him so much.

Li Shimin just took a sip of tea and was about to breathe a sigh of relief. When he heard that Li Gang was coming, he didn't know why, but he felt very tired, but he still nodded and said, "Please."

Before Li Gang came, he quickly drank a few more sips of tea, then washed his face, intending to use his best to deal with this person. However, deep down in his heart, he had already excluded Li Gang from teaching the prince in the future.

Oh, right, isn't Ye Tan's fate tough? Let him just be Ye Tan's chief historian.
