Li Yuan was a little overwhelmed by Chen Shuda's rebuke. He scolded angrily with a straight face: "How presumptuous! Are you still my subject?"
Facing Li Yuan's questioning, Chen Shuda naturally did not dare to be tough and bowed his head submissively and said: "Of course I am a minister of the saint..."
Li Yuan snorted coldly, as if he thought you were sensible. Just as he was about to regain some face, he heard Chen Shuda say again: "But since the saint has handed over the court to His Highness King Yong, he should not interfere with the court anymore."
When it comes to political matters in the hall, one should not go behind His Royal Highness’s back and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come out to supervise the country.
You should know that it is a taboo to leave two doors!"
When Li Yuan heard this, he was completely annoyed. His eyes were as wide as bells as he stared at Chen Shuda, as if he wanted to eat Chen Shuda.
Not only was Chen Shuda not afraid, but he straightened his back and met Li Yuan's gaze with a straight look. He had an upright look like you may let me die, but I will never bow my head.
Li Yuan became even more annoyed. He patted the royal eucalyptus and stood up, pointing at Chen Shuda's nose and yelling, "Rebellious minister? Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Chen Shuda lowered his head slightly and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone, "I don't dare!"
The anger in Li Yuan's heart had boiled up time and time again. During the years he had been emperor, except for his three sons and Li Gang, no one had dared to be so tough on him, and no one had ever offended him so much.
He originally wanted to push Li Jiancheng out to lift the cylinder for Li Yuanji, but now Chen Shuda was so angry that he didn't care anymore.
He immediately greeted the Qianniu guards outside the palace: "Come here, please capture this rebellious minister and hand him over to Dali Temple for punishment!"
Xiao Yu, Ren Gui, and Li Shentong saw that Li Yuan was angry and really wanted to take down Chen Shuda, so they hurried out to admonish him.
"Brother Emperor, Chen Pushe is just a little more outgoing and harsh in his words, but his intentions are good. He only said these things for the Tang Dynasty. Please give him a gentle sentence."
"Sage, Chen Pushe has been conscientious and conscientious since he entered the court and did not dare to neglect any state affairs. He should not be severely punished just because of some verbal disputes."
"Sage, I think everything Chen Pushe said is reasonable. Please make a clear decision!"
"..."
Xiao Yu and Li Shentong were really admonishing.
Ren Gui was a little concerned about supporting the fire, but when Li Yuan's sharp eyes fell on him, he added, "If the sage feels that Chen Pushe is at fault, then I am willing to share the same guilt with Chen Pushe!"
In short, if you want to deal with it, you deal with both of us, or none of us.
This is to tie himself and Chen Shuda together.
When Xiao Yu and Li Shentong heard this, they suddenly felt bad. They shouted inwardly that it was terrible and hurriedly tried to help Ren Gui.
Li Yuan is very angry now, how could he hear such words.
As soon as Ren Gui said these words, not only could he not help Chen Shuda share any pressure, but he would also be easily involved.
Sure enough, before Xiao Yu and Li Shentong could speak, Li Yuan shouted loudly, "Okay! Very good! Since you took the initiative to ask for imprisonment, then I will grant it to you!"
With that said, Li Yuan called on the Qianniu guards to take Ren Gui down with him.
Ren Gui is not guilty at all. He will be detained as long as he is detained. Who is afraid of whom? Don’t think that just because you are the emperor, you can do whatever you want! In this matter, I am definitely on the side of King Yong!
"No saint, if you kill two of the three prime ministers in one go, how will the court function? Now our Tang Dynasty is at the critical moment of the Northern Expedition to the Turks. Without Chen Pushe and Ren Zhongshu to mediate in the middle, I am afraid there will be great troubles.
questionable."
"Yes, saint, if you dismiss the two prime ministers at once, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court. If someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos, not only will there be another turmoil within the Tang Dynasty, but the Northern Expedition of the Turks in the Tang Dynasty will also fail.
Therefore, I sincerely ask you to take back your life."
"..."
Xiao Yu and Li Shentong bent over and tried to persuade them. They said all their good words, but Li Yuan remained unmoved.
However, Li Yuan also knew how much impact jailing two prime ministers would have on the current Tang Dynasty, so he was angry and gave Li Shentong a secret wink.
As Li Yuan's loyal dog and Li Yuan's white glove, Li Shentong understood Li Yuan's thoughts in an instant.
Li Yuan is now pushed against the wall by Chen Shuda and Ren Gui. As a superior, he cannot come down from the wall on his own initiative. He needs a step to come down.
So he needs to help Li Yuan create this step.
Li Shentong immediately looked at Ren Gui. After seeing Li Yuan glance at him without any trace, his heart froze. He immediately set his sights on Chen Shuda again, pretending to be serious and shouted: "Chen Pushe, you too,
The saint finally came to the Tai Chi Hall, but you didn't know how to follow his instructions, but instead rejected his instructions. Where do you want to put the saint's face?
He wanted to put you in jail out of desperation, and you asked for it!"
As soon as Li Shentong opened his mouth, he turned Chen Shuda's disobedience and confrontation with Li Yuan into an attempt to overturn Li Yuan's order.
If you disobey the king and go against the king, you will lose your head.
But rejecting the emperor's edict is the duty of the prime minister Chen Shuda, and he will not lose his head.
A simple sentence removed Chen Shuda from the matter of losing his head and minimized Chen Shuda's matter.
Whether it can be turned into nothing depends on whether Chen Shuda understands it and whether he takes the opportunity to say a soft word.
If he had said it, then the matter might have stopped there. If he had not said it, then Li Yuan would have had no choice but to bite the bullet and pursue it to the end.
As for why he exonerated Chen Shuda instead of exonerating Ren Gui, it was also Li Yuan's choice.
Li Yuan was obviously more tolerant towards Chen Shuda, the prime minister whom he had single-handedly promoted, and he was more lenient towards Ren Gui, the prime minister whom his son had single-handedly promoted, even if he was just an accomplice.
This is in line with Li Yuan's usual style.
Li Yuan is not only a person who likes nepotism, but also a person who is generous and magnanimous to his own people, but mean and cruel to outsiders.
Li Gang punched him against the wall several times, but he never put Li Gang in jail, let alone shouted at Li Gang to kill him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ren Gui just accompanied Chen Shuda to beat him up once, and he was still an accomplice. He was going to put Ren Gui in jail and teach Ren Gui a lesson.
Li Shentong now only hopes that Chen Shuda can be wiser, apologize to Li Yuan heartily, and then think of other ways to stop Li Yuan from doing this.
Otherwise, not only Ren Ge would have to go in, but he would also have to go in.
He and Xiao Yu were left alone, and they would definitely not be able to stop Li Yuan from doing whatever he wanted.
"Chen Pushe, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to the saint?"
After Li Shentong finished scolding Chen Shuda, he was afraid that Chen Shuda would not understand what he meant, so he reminded him again.
Ren Gui had already heard that he was trying to excuse Chen Shuda and discovered that Li Yuan had plans to use him to establish his power, but he said nothing.
Chen Shuda understood the profound meaning of Li Shen's call and guessed that Li Yuan intended to let him go, but neither Li Shentong nor Li Yuan underestimated his determination.
Amid Li Shentong's reminder, he said loudly: "I am not wrong, so why should I admit it?"
After saying this, he stared straight at Li Yuan and said: "I must not see the imperial order coming out of the second door, so I will not be able to obey any orders of the saint!"
Li Yuan was completely stuck. He cursed Chen Shuda in his heart for not knowing what was good and what was good. At the same time, he pointed at Chen Shuda's nose and angrily said: "Okay! Very good, then you can go and stay in Dali Temple!"
"Here comes someone! Here is someone!"
When Li Yuan saw that the Qianniu guards had not come in, he shouted angrily outside the palace.
The two Qianniu Guards generals who were guarding in front of the palace hurried into the palace and quickly knelt on one knee on the ground without saying a word.
They showed their attitude to Li Yuan through actions.
That is, they cannot do what Li Yuan ordered them to do, so they should ask Li Yuan to punish them.
The fire in Li Yuan's chest suddenly surged to Tianling Gai. He tremblingly pointed at the two Qianniu guard generals and shouted: "Okay! Okay! Both of them are disobedient to me!"
Am I still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
Are you still my subjects?!"
Xiao Yu, Li Shentong, and even Chen Shuda, who was about to be jailed by Li Yuan, and Ren Gui all knelt on the ground.
Li Yuan's identification was very serious and they could not admit it.
As long as Li Yuan did not take the throne, abdicated, or died, then Li Yuan would be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at any time, and they would also be Li Yuan's ministers.
But whether to listen to Li Yuan's orders is another matter.
Li Yuan ignored Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Ren Gui, and the two generals of the Qianniu Guards. He stared at Li Shentong with a fierce look and asked, "Do you even want to disobey me?"
Li Shentong hurriedly touched his head to the ground and said tremblingly: "My brother, I don't want to disobey you. I just don't want my Tang Dynasty to cause trouble again, and I don't want another dispute within the Li family. I hope my brother will think twice!"
"
The reason why he became trembling was because he remembered the fear of being dominated by Li Yuan in the past.
Back then, Li Yuan personally took off the head of his beloved Mei Ji at nightfall and put it under his bed to subdue him.
He still remembers the way Li Yuan held his Meiji's head in his hands and talked to him with a smile.
Every time I think of it, I shudder.
So when faced with Li Yuan's fierce questioning, he was really scared.
"What do you mean by not wanting the Tang Dynasty to cause trouble again, not wanting another dispute within the Li family? I conquered this country with my own hands, and I don't mind fighting it again!"
Li Yuan stared at Li Shentong angrily and shouted.
When you say this, you should look as domineering and bold as you want.
But is this really the case?
If this is really the case, I don’t have to stand by Yuanji, my brother!
As long as an individual has sons and daughters like Jiancheng, Xiuning, Shimin, and Yuanji who can take charge of their own affairs, they can build such a huge empire with their own hands! My brother!
Li Shentong was yelling crazily in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything. Instead, he subconsciously lowered his head lower.
"Remember you rebels, if you don't get everything I want tomorrow, I will put you all in jail!"
After Li Yuan made a fuss, he threatened him fiercely, and then left the Tai Chi Hall angrily.
