Chapter 0241 Yu Wenbao is ruthless, Li Yuanji is even ruthless
"Is Prince Zhao okay?"
Li Yuanji was unwilling to comment on everything about Li Xiaogong, and could only care about Li Xiaogong's body and bones.
Ling Jing bowed slightly and said: "It seems that he is suffering from paralysis. When drinking with me, he always pours wine on his legs, saying that he is feeding the cold insects on his legs."
Li Yuanji looked thoughtful.
If he remembered correctly, Li Xiaogong was about the same age as Li Jiancheng. Now he is suffering from rheumatism, which will have a great impact on him in the future.
"When Prince Zhao was in Jingzhou, didn't he consult a famous local doctor?"
"I've seen it. The doctor also prescribed him a lot of medicated foods to remove dampness. He also took a lot, but it didn't seem to be of any use."
"..."
Li Yuanji pondered and nodded, "Tomorrow you go to Guangde Square to invite Mr. Sun to the Prince Zhao's Mansion. By the way, ask the steward to prepare some food and clothing and send them to Prince Zhao."
Ling Jing was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Although Prince Zhao is not popular now, he shouldn't have to worry about food and clothing, right?"
Even if Li Xiaogong is no longer welcome, he is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
The food and clothing must be of the best quality, so there is no need to worry at all.
Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing, "Of course I know that Prince Zhao has no worries about food and clothing. What I'm giving is not food and clothing, but my heart. Do you understand?"
Ling Jing suddenly realized, "Since Your Highness has this intention, why would you let me go? Wouldn't it be better to let the princess go?"
When it comes to things like providing food and clothing, it is obviously better for a woman to come forward than for a man to come forward.
Li Yuanji glared at Ling Jing and said angrily: "My father is troubled right now, and I don't want to go and cause trouble for him at this time."
Li Chengzong died, and Li Yuan was in a terrible mood.
Whoever comes to trouble Li Yuan at this time, even if Li Yuan doesn't kill him, he will make him bear all the anger in his heart.
The high-ranking Li Shimin was severely punished by Li Yuan.
Li Shimin is now hiding in his house, unwilling to show his face.
Li Yuanji could send people frequently to bring warmth to Li Xiaogong, which was already the limit.
If you do more, Li Yuan will call you to the Manlu Hall to be scolded.
Li Yuanji is not a masochist, and he has no habit of taking the initiative to scold someone.
"This is my lack of consideration. I hope Your Highness will not blame you."
Ling Jing quickly bent down to apologize to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji didn't say anything more and asked Ling Jing to quickly go down to find Sun Simiao.
…
The next few days.
Li Yuanji stayed at the house and did not move. Ling Jing led Sun Simiao and frequently went in and out of the Prince Zhao's house to treat Li Xiaogong's rheumatism.
Li Yuanji originally thought that if he didn't come forward, Li Yuan would not cause trouble for him.
But unexpectedly, Ling Jing was impeached on the first day he went to Prince Zhao's Mansion.
The reason for impeachment was very lame. It said that on the way back to Beijing from Jiulongtan Mountain, Prince Qi's carriage destroyed part of the crops that were about to be harvested on one side of the avenue, causing farmers to lose their harvests and their livelihoods.
In the past, Li Yuan would have ignored such lame excuses. When he was unhappy, he would even scold Yan Guan for looking for trouble.
ahzww
But now, Li Yuanli understood, and sent Liu Jun to the Wude Palace to deliver oral instructions, reprimanded Li Yuanji, and ordered Li Yuanji to send people from the palace to bring grain and cloth to compensate the farmers for their losses.
Li Yuanji had no choice but to send his subordinate officials with food and cloth to make amends.
Then, overnight, the crops on both sides of the road from Chang'an City to Jiulongtan Mountain were completely burned.
The person who set the fire was so arrogant that he not only set fire to the crops, but also beat the farmers who tried to dissuade him.
Chang'an ordered Wang Xu to get the news and when he led his men to stop the thieves, he was stripped naked and tied to a tree.
The officials were agitated and wrote letters to impeach the evil leader one after another. They also revealed the evil leader's past crimes and impeached them all.
Li Yuan was furious and ordered the soldiers and horses of Zuowu Houwei to capture the culprits and bring them to prison. He also ordered the evil leaders to go to the court to confess their crimes.
Li Yuanji straightened his clothes and stepped onto the imperial steps leading to Tai Chi Hall with a speechless expression.
He thought about it with his buttocks, but he didn't expect that he had become the villain even though he had done nothing.
He originally wanted to stay in the Wude Hall and pretend to be a monk.
But Yu Wenbao and Yu Wenbao's buqu are still locked up in Dali Temple.
He was about to be judged collectively and beheaded in public.
He had to go to Tai Chi Hall to fight for Yu Wenbao's life.
When Li Yuanji entered the Tai Chi Hall, all the officials were already seated in their seats and had already impeached him.
Li Yuan sat on the emperor's throne with a gloomy face.
"My son, please see your father."
Li Yuanji bowed.
Before Li Yuanji could stand up, he heard Li Yuan scold angrily, "You have grown up, your wings have hardened, and you have become more and more domineering. Do you think that because I love you, I won't dare to deal with you?"
Li Yuanji stood up and pretended to be dumbfounded and said: "Father, where did you start talking about this? My son has been recovering from illness these days and has not even left the house. Why is he so domineering?"
Li Yuan slapped the table and stood up, "How do you explain that the officials in your house bullied others, embezzled people's fields, and plundered people's fat and oil? How do you explain that your subordinate Yu Wenbao acted so boldly that he burned thousands of acres of fertile land outside Chang'an City? Your children's
Clan brother, you acted wantonly in Taixue and almost hurt the lives of all the students of Taixue, how do you explain it?"
Li Yuanji immediately opened his mouth to defend himself.
But Li Yuan didn't give him a chance to defend himself, and continued angrily: "If you weren't supporting them behind the scenes, how could they dare to act so boldly?"
Li Yuanji was silent for a moment, and seeing all the officials looking at him, he slowly said: "The officials in my house used their power to bully others, embezzled people's fields, and plundered people's wealth. Those were things in the past. I have sent people to
After everything was investigated, a certain amount of money was returned to the petitioner, and a group of officials were also handed over to Dali Temple.
This matter has been dealt with long ago, but I wonder if that person doesn’t like me and started bringing up old matters again?”
"You are so presumptuous, why do you want to threaten the civil and military personnel under my command?"
Li Yuan glared and scolded angrily.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yuanji looked around the officials and said unhurriedly: "I just want to tell the civil and military people that compared to many of them, my butt
It's already very clean.
Before any of them bites me, he needs to see if his butt is clean."
Youyanguan stood up without hesitation, raised his neck and said: "I have been an official for four years, and my house only has one wife, one servant, and an old donkey. I wonder if I am qualified to impeach His Highness?"
Li Yuanji smiled coldly and looked at the other officials, "What about them?"
Some officials immediately wanted to stand up and prove that they were innocent.
Then Li Yuanji said again: "Do you dare to let me check them one by one?"
In an instant, no one came out to argue with Li Yuanji.
There are honest and upright people in the court, and there are also people with huge wealth who don't bother to plunder the people's wealth and oppress the people, but they are a minority.
Most people don't have very clean butts.
Even Pei Ji, who often hangs out under Li Yuan's nose, has an unclean butt.
None of them dared to ask Li Yuanji to investigate, and they could not afford the consequences.
The same is true for Li Yuan.
Unless Li Yuan is crazy, it is absolutely impossible for Li Yuanji to accuse the public of enforcing the law.
"I'm asking about the people in your house, you don't have to talk about others."
Li Yuan scolded.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan and said: "The person has been dealt with. Father should know about this."
Li Yuan stared at Li Yuanji and said, "Then what's the explanation for the extra houses, fields, and shops in your house?"
Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "I am only temporarily taking care of the property without an owner. If my father wants to take it back, I can hand it over as well."
Li Yuan said loudly: "Then hand it over!"
Li Yuanji bowed and agreed.
Li Yuan asked again: "Your subordinate Pingcheng Hou Yu Wenbao wantonly destroyed people's fields, beat people, and restrained court officials. How do you explain it?"
Li Yuanji was silent for a moment, and sighed in his heart: "What I asked to be destroyed is also what I asked to be beaten."
This matter is too big.
Yu Wenbao couldn't carry it.
Li Yuanji can only take the blame himself.
Li Yuan said sternly and fearfully: "Then you still dare to say that you are not domineering?"
Li Yuanji said seriously: "I am at fault in this matter, and I am willing to compensate the farmers for their losses."
"Is compensation enough?"
Li Yuan asked.
Li Yuanji asked, "What does a father want from his sons?"
Li Yuan glared and said: "I will cut off your title and chop off Yu Wenbao's head."
When the officials heard this, they were all in high spirits and looked like they were watching a big show.
Li Yuanji said very seriously: "I thought that my father's punishment was too light, so my father should have reduced his title and suppressed the Yu Wenbao clan.
And there should be a law and order that anyone who destroys people's fields should be punished accordingly."
The officials were in an uproar.
Li Yuan's eyes widened.
Li Yuan felt that Li Yuanji was speaking sarcastically and was unwilling to bow to him, so he immediately got angry.
Pei Ji suddenly stood up and said, "Sage, although His Highness King Qi was wrong in this matter, His Highness King Qi has admitted his mistake and is willing to make compensation.
I believe that I should be dealt with lightly."
"Pei Pushe's words are reasonable. Your Highness, King Qi, is just a temporary offender. As long as he knows his mistake and can correct it, he should be dealt with lightly."
"..."
"Yes, yes, His Highness King Qi was also impeached and scolded by a saint. He was so angry that he did such a move. This matter is not entirely His Highness King Qi's fault.
The saint should punish those who impeached His Royal Highness the King of Qi."
"Yes, this person's intentions are obviously impure and he is suspected of alienating the father and son of the Heavenly Family. Saints should deal with it seriously."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is ill. When the carriage is on the road, it is inevitable that in order to take care of His Highness the King of Qi's illness, he will avoid some ditches and bumps. It is also reasonable that the people's fields will be destroyed without fail.
Some people use this to impeach His Royal Highness King Qi with purely impure intentions."
"..."
The officials spoke one after another.
From the initial "Li Yuanji made mistakes, but he can correct them if he knows them", he now said "Li Yuanji was right, but the person who impeached Li Yuanji had impure intentions".
The reason why the officials were like this was because Li Yuanji was ruthless.
Li Yuanji came directly. Whoever destroyed the people's fields should be the Yi tribe.
The officials simply couldn't bear it.
Because once they recognized the matter, they asked Li Yuan to punish Li Yuanji and Yu Wenbao.
From now on, each of them will be targeted by Li Yuanji.
Whenever someone in their house destroyed a crop, Li Yuanji would probably drag him to the court and demand fair treatment from the officials.
