The sun always sets at a certain time of the day, but will climb up at another time, making the already hot Guanzhong even hotter.

But Chai Shao, who had been staying at home, today went to court in a carriage dressed in official uniform.

Since his wife died, many officials who originally liked to be close to them have moved away. Many people don't seem to recognize him anymore, except Changsun Wuji.

The two of them looked at each other at the entrance of the palace, and then several other families also looked at each other and began to enter the palace.

Originally, under the current situation, military attaches did not need to go to court, because they could not do much, and they needed to keep the country's heel in check. They could just stay in the military camp. But today, many military attaches went to court, so that day

After Li Shimin looked at the memorial in his hand, he couldn't help but sneered, "Are you really blinded by hatred?"

Although he did not do it himself to kill Li Xiuning, he also avenged Li Xiuning. However, the descendant who did this thing enjoys treatment that others cannot enjoy. This is the so-called Jian Zai Di Xin. Anyone in the

When you do anything, you will do it for a certain purpose. Some things may be social responsibilities, and sometimes it is a kind of peace that comes from deep inside. For the ancients, the life of future generations is what they need.

Management, so they generally don't value their own lives.

Li Shimin felt a lot more relaxed mentally after Li Xiuning died. This kind of relaxation comes from the heart, because the influence of the Detachment of Women is definitely not a simple thing. If it weren't for Li Xiuning being a girl, Li Yuan would really have

You may have been forced to make her the crown prince, because the original oath was made in front of the three armies. If you don't fulfill it, Li Xiuning's 100,000 troops will not agree. Even if Li Shimin wants to seize it, they will

It’s difficult, but the world is so unbearable. You didn’t think so, but it just doesn’t work.

There haven't been many troubles recently. Li Shimin's son and several military attachés who usually looked at him as big and rough helped him a lot at this time. Even Wei Zheng, who usually likes to say a few words about himself when he has nothing to do, has become a lot quieter.

, To be honest, sometimes Li Shimin felt that he was Wei Zheng's son, and he was also the unluckiest one, because he always said that he didn't like him, but he was helpless.

The Songzhou incident is over, but it has begun again. Although Ye Tan is a little dissatisfied with how stingy he is as his boss, even so, his son Li Tai's life is not a problem. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of it

This was an opportunity to call her son back. It was too dangerous for a prince who was not yet an adult to be outside. Empress Changsun, who had always regarded Li Tai as her treasure, disagreed, saying that the current environment was good, and Li Chengqian was a bit soft-spoken.

But there is no shortage of brains. Being the emperor for such a person is a great good thing for other princes. If Li Tai comes back, there may be trouble. As for whether following Ye Tan will make learning more difficult to control.

, she expressed that she was not worried, because she could see the relationship between Ye Tan and Li Chengqian. If one day Li Chengqian was deposed because of Li Shimin's own reasons, Ye Tan would dare to lead troops to Qingjun's side, and then there might be a fight between the north and the south.

Uncertain, because there is no way, Ye Tan treats Li Chengqian like this. As for the subsequent problems, it is still early, and Empress Changsun said that she will not worry about it.

The morning court was very early. When Li Shimin boarded the Dragon Throne, he couldn't help but sneer when he saw the group of people below, but deep down he felt helpless because he had no way to stop these people now. If they were all killed,

The number of people in the court has been reduced by more than half, and now we still have to rely on these people.

"If you have something to do, leave the court." The eunuch next to him shouted such a sentence in a very loud voice, and then Fang Xuanling stood up.

"Your Majesty, it seems that 21 prefectures and counties have been hit by the disaster this time, and there are victims everywhere. However, because of the early precautions taken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all his ministers, the people in many places can survive. In addition,

Several workshops of His Highness the Prince have also started up, and there are many people in need, so the Tang Dynasty is not afraid of this disaster..." Fang Xuanling's words were so simple, but they made several people from big families

My teeth hurt.

They used our food but didn't say a good word about us. What do you mean? As for the fact that people paid for the food with real money and silver, they didn't care.

So as soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Zheng Benyu stood up and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I am impeaching His Highness the Crown Prince for engaging in business without authorization, falling into vulgarity, and taking profits from the people. This is really a great misfortune for the world in the long run."

, more people in the Tang Dynasty will definitely fall into the trap of merchants, which will reduce the number of people cultivating the land. Over time, this will affect the cultivated area of ​​the Tang Dynasty. Please severely punish His Majesty the Crown Prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jiayao continued, "Your Majesty, I impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his extravagant and licentious behavior. He wantonly manufactured all kinds of luxury goods and profited the people, which caused the rise of extravagance in the Tang Dynasty.

It will be beneficial to the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, please punish His Highness the Crown Prince severely."

Zheng Boling continued, "Your Majesty, I am impeaching His Majesty the Crown Prince for indulging the common people in his village to steal water from the people in other villages, causing a large area of ​​drought. Many villages are dry and without water, resulting in dry crops and no harvests.

In the long run, it will definitely make the people feel resentful and affect the image of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, please severely punish His Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Yu then said, "Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that I have impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He ignored his personal image and laughed and ate with the people on the street. This is an insult to the Crown Prince's dignity. Please punish him severely."

…

As more and more people appeared, Li Shimin's face turned livid, while Li Chengqian's face turned pale. Once these people's words are confirmed, he may be in trouble. In fact, these things are a bit disrespectful.

Similarly, if you say you are, you are, and if you are not, you are not, and if you are not, you are not, and you are not.

Pei Ju and others were dumbfounded. Wei Zheng did not expect that these people would talk about these things. Even the warrior Yu found it unbelievable. A prince like Li Chengqian was not just showing off, but actually doing things for the people, but he was ignored by these people.

He became a treacherous minister with ulterior motives. If it is true, he will shed his skin even if he doesn't die, because what Chai Shao says next is very terrifying.

"Your Majesty, I impeach His Highness the Crown Prince for secretly hiding troops and taming dead soldiers with evil intentions. At the same time, he has had close contact with foreign ministers and has disobedient intentions. Please punish him severely." Chai Shao, this uncle, knew that he could not deal with it.

Li Shimin then began to deal with his son. Anyway, his wife was dead, and although the Chai family would be fine for the time being, these people had gone through countless battles to get where they are today, so they knew that some things were not so influential.

A matter of one or two sentences, but a terrible chain reaction.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Chai Shao, and after hearing his words, he whispered to Li Jing beside him, "Is this bastard out of his mind? Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has been exhausted recently, and you still say that. Isn't this nonsense?

I have long seen that this boy is not a good thing, but I did not expect that he is really not a good thing."

Li Jing did not speak because he did not want to speak. Such things could not be explained clearly, but Li Ji did not have so many thoughts and directly stood up and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, I think these people are farting. You

Look at how tired our Crown Prince is. Even the beggars outside Chang'an City have time to rest. However, in order to ensure that every grain of food reaches the hands of the victims, His Highness will sleep when he is tired.

For two or three hours, you people, you have good food and drink every day, and your little girl plays in the evening, and you are still talking about His Highness the Crown Prince like this, you are still not human. Could it be that you plan to make the Crown Prince understand nothing in the future?

Becoming a fool?"

"Li Ji, this is the court of the Tang Dynasty. How can you speak evil words so ungratefully and ask your Majesty to punish him?" As soon as Zheng Boling heard what he said, he jumped out again.

"What's the matter with the foul language? I was a bandit when I was in the village. Your Majesty refused to abandon me. After being promoted over the years, I have gained some status. What, you plan to beat me back to be a bandit? Let me tell you, I was a bandit at the beginning.

Because you big families are rich and unkind, why are you still planning to do this now?" Li Ji's words made even Cheng Yaojin blush a little, because the reason why Li Ji became a bandit in the first place was because he wanted to be,

His family is considered to be a modestly wealthy one, they have enough to eat and drink, and they are somewhat armed, so they are not afraid of the refugees at all.

But who cares about this at this time? Even if he talks nonsense, he still has to say it back. Otherwise, if something happens to the prince, what will happen to his family's business?

Although Li Chengqian is pale and haggard, and although he is only a teenager, he feels as tired as a man in his twenties. When he hears these people's words, the sadness deep in his heart can be said to be very direct.

, I am here for the Tang Dynasty. Why are you people so ignorant?

Li Shimin looked at the shaky prince, with a smile on his lips, but a cold light in his eyes. This was the rhythm of planning to take action, and Wei Zheng was too familiar with his expression. He did this when he killed Li Jiancheng.

, he said the same thing when he conquered the world, so he quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the ministers just now are loyal people, and they will inevitably feel strange when they see things they don't understand.

I would like to ask Your Majesty to calm down and let His Highness the Crown Prince explain his thoughts."

"According to Xuancheng's words, Prince, please tell me." Li Shimin was a little surprised, but he still nodded.

After Li Chengqian heard this, his delicate shoulders trembled slightly, and then he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, what the ministers just said is the truth, but I have said it before, those businesses are not my minister's, just

Yejia Village, Yejia Village cooperates with people from some villages under my command. Erchen is just helping Songzhou Hou Yetan manage it and helping out. As for the matter of those villages without water, it is indeed Erchen.

The decision was made. At first, I asked them to participate in dredging the river and contribute their efforts, but they were unwilling to do so. I don’t know who was bewitched them. They would rather sleep at home than do it, and they also prevented the common people from doing so.

To dredge it, but there was no other way. They could only think of other ways, dug many wells, and opened up another river channel. Now they want to use that river channel, but others are naturally unwilling. That river channel does not belong to the imperial court.

It belongs to the common people. In order to rob the water, they actually fought several times. Among them, more than fifty of Erchen's common people were injured. But at this time, Erchen still did not take action. I don't know why he said such words.

As for the prince's six-rate rule, that is stipulated in the model. The number of soldiers and horses of the prince is not yet complete. I don't know why the prince consort would say this. Does it mean that having soldiers under his command is considered treason? If that is the case.

, then, how about you ask Prince Consort Chai to answer a few questions?"

Although the last three words of Li Chengqian were not serious, everyone in the hall felt that his throat was burning and his body was tired. Kong Yingda's face was filled with distress. Although the prince's behavior was not in line with the rules, the days were always full.

He needs to live on. If he hadn't done this in advance, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, if you have anything to ask, please tell me directly. I know everything I know and I will tell you everything." When Chai Shao heard the other party calling him his consort instead of the general, he knew that the other party was angry with him, but now he would

Do you care?

"Well, what I want to ask are three questions. The words of the ministers who just impeached me have a certain truth, but their family's land exceeds what they should have. The land of the Zheng family in Xingyang actually has a state and county.

Is it reasonable? The ministers who just impeached me all have tens of thousands of slaves in their homes. The most illegal households hiding below are tens of thousands, and the local people only have 40,000 households. I don’t know if the Chai Consort can

Give me an explanation? As for private soldiers, when Songzhou Hou Ye Tan left Chang'an last time, he encountered nineteen assassinations on the road, six of which were related to your Chai family. Your Chai family has children.

They were all shot to death by Ye Tan on the spot, what do you have to say?"

The three questions were all fatal. Before Chai Shao could say anything, Zheng Boling quickly stood up and said, "Your Highness, you are full of nonsense."

"Haha." Li Chengqian felt very tired and wanted to rest. Datang had so many things to do, so he used a comparative method to do it. He found that Datang had countless problems, but he could only accompany these people to mess around.

, "I'm talking nonsense, Zheng Shaoqing, are you sure that what I said is all false?"

"This..." He really couldn't guarantee it.

"Wei Chen can confirm that what His Highness the Crown Prince said is unfounded." Lu Jiayao became a pig teammate at this time. As soon as he said this, he saw Wei Zheng on the side suddenly stood up and took out a book from his arms.

Very thick, about the thickness of a palm, can it be thicker?
