Chapter 122: Li Shimin broke up with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!!
"Your Majesty, please behead the demon doctor Qin Wenyuan to show the public to appease the anger of God!!"
Countless officials from aristocratic families agreed with Lu Quan's idea and made suggestions to Li Shimin, demanding that Qin Wenyuan be beheaded!
This was what they had planned early in the morning.
When Li Shimin saw this, he was shocked and angry.
At this time, do they still know what the plans of these aristocratic families are!?
Many days ago, Qin Wenyuan, in his royal capacity, slapped Qi Wang in the face of the fifth surname, causing the Lu family to retreat, which had seriously affected the most fundamental interests of their family.
They took this opportunity to attack Qin Wenyuan!!
What kind of demon doctor!?
What wrath of God!?
It’s all their excuses!!
The purpose was to force Li Shimin to behead Qin Wenyuan.
It has to be said that the Five Surnames and Qi Wang took this opportunity very well, and they simply strangled Li Shimin's lifeline.
"What nonsense!"
"Qin Divine Doctor cures diseases and practices medicine. He hangs pots to help the world. His reputation as a good man is known to everyone in Chang'an!?"
"What's more, he invented the Quyuan plow, which benefited people all over the world!"
"This kind of behavior is comparable to that of a saint!"
"How can we incur the wrath of God!?"
As Qin Wenyuan's future loyal partner, Wei Zheng immediately refuted and defended Qin Wenyuan.
Fang Xuanling, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and other pro-emperor factions also followed closely behind and defended Qin Wenyuan's words.
But no matter what they said, Lu Quan and other officials from the aristocratic family were not moved at all, insisting that Qin Wenyuan was a demon doctor and had incurred the wrath of God.
It's just an excuse anyway.
As for what Qin Wenyuan's crime was, whether it was a demon doctor or a devil, it didn't matter to them.
What they want is for Li Shimin to convict Qin Wenyuan.
Their purpose is to have Qin Wenyuan die and be erased from the Tang Dynasty!!
Either get rid of Qin Wenyuan, or starve to death thousands of people, choose one, it's that simple!
Li Shimin looked at the quarreling ministers in the hall. He understood that the family had given him a general, and he was forced to make a choice.
Family!
Hateful! Hateful! Hateful!
If only Quyuanli, a sharp blade in the country, had been discovered a few months earlier!
Li Shimin clenched his fists, and his nails dug deeply into his flesh and blood!!
what to do!?
Do we really have to sacrifice our son-in-law Qin Wenyuan!?
Faced with the pressing pressure from the aristocratic families.
The figure of Qin Wenyuan appeared in Li Er's mind, thinking of the son-in-law who had always been looked down upon by him, but who had saved him.
At this moment.
Li Shimin suddenly felt a little regretful.
I regret exposing Qin Wenyuan so quickly.
If he hadn't borrowed Qin Wenyuan's soldiers and horses to cause trouble for the Lu family, perhaps he wouldn't have been in this situation today.
Although after Qin Wenyuan emerged, he had tried his best to plan and pave the way for Qin Wenyuan's future.
Li Shimin made full use of the opportunities that Qin Wenyuan could gain to increase his reputation.
However, plans can never keep up with changes!!
Who would have thought that a heavy rain disaster would sweep across the entire Tang Dynasty, allowing Qiwang of the Five Surnames to seize this opportunity to target Qin Wenyuan.
If you talk about it from the perspective of an emperor.
Choosing to temporarily compromise with the Five Surnames and Qi Wang, sacrificing the life of Qin Wenyuan in exchange for the safety of hundreds of thousands of disaster victims is undoubtedly the best choice.
But if we look at it from the perspective of a daughter’s father.
Choosing to compromise with the Five Surnames and Qi Wang and sacrifice Qin Wenyuan’s life is equivalent to making Changle heartbroken. Then he is not worthy of being a father at all!!
anger!
Hate it!
regret!
Complex emotions filled Li Shimin's entire heart.
On one side are the people of the world, on the other side are the talents who shock the past and shine upon the present. It is a dilemma!
Half a moment.
Li Er's eyes showed a hint of determination.
No matter what difficulties we encounter, I will never give up this time!
If you retreat again, you will never be able to raise your head again.
"Shut up, everyone!"
Li Shimin roared angrily, and all the officials fell silent for an instant.
He looked at Lu Quan and snorted coldly: "Lu Quan, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, you are here to confuse the public and the imperial officials with your monstrous words. You were immediately removed from your official position and sent to the prison to wait for the Ministry of Punishments, Dali Temple and the Imperial Palace."
There will be a joint trial by the three parties in Shitai!"
Li Shimin stood up, announced Lu Quan's crime directly and domineeringly, and sent him to jail directly.
In the past few years, because of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty and for the sake of national peace, Li Shimin turned a blind eye to the actions of the five surnames and Qiwang, making their attitude more and more arrogant.
And this time.
Regarding the issue of Qin Wenyuan and his daughter Changle from the fifth surname and Qi Wang, he made up his mind to fulfill his father's responsibilities!
Also, I will definitely not return it!!
Wow——
As soon as Li Shimin said this, the entire court was in an uproar.
The officials were shocked.
It was so silent that you could hear a needle drop!
shocked!
Silly!
Senseless!
Every minister looked at Li Shimin with eyes full of disbelief.
Even people like Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Cheng Yaojin who had a close relationship with Qin Wenyuan were no exception.
They knew that Li Shimin would not convict Qin Wenyuan, but they never expected that Li Shimin would be so domineering and put Lu Quan in jail directly!
This is equivalent to...
I have completely broken up with the aristocratic families!!
To know.
Lu Quan is the head of the Lu family among the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. He is currently the representative of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes in the court.
Officials of the aristocratic family who were originally confident of victory stood stunned on the spot when they heard that Li Shimin had Lu Quanwen imprisoned.
How can it be!?
Li Shimin actually chose to save Qin Wenyuan’s life!?
Isn't he afraid of riots by the victims and the chaos in Chang'an City?!
In the near future, there will not be only a few thousand or tens of thousands of victims, but hundreds of thousands.
The number is so huge!?
Once a civil uprising occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable and unbearable!
Why!?
Officials from these aristocratic families could not understand why Li Shimin would rather risk hundreds of thousands of victims to riot in order to save Qin Wenyuan's life!
"Where is the Shadow Guard!?"
"Give me, pull down this monstrous Lu Quan and put him in a prison!"
Li Shimin did not give the officials in the court a chance to react, and directly ordered his personal guards, the Shadow Guards, to pull Lu Quan down.
At this moment.
Only after Qian Niuwei held up his arm did Lu Quan recover from the shock.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
"I am the founder of the Tang Dynasty and a minister of the Supreme Emperor. You can't do this to me!"
"Are you really going to abandon thousands of people and ignore them?"
Lu Quan struggled hard and kept shouting.
Things completely exceeded his expectations.
He never dreamed that Li Shimin would completely break up with Qi Wang of the fifth surname for the sake of little Qin Wenyuan, and directly put himself in jail!
Lu Quan was scared, he regretted, and he didn't want to go to jail.
But the matter has come to this, no matter how scared or regretful he is, there is nothing he can do to reverse it.
The Shadow Guard soldiers took off his official hat, stripped off his official uniform, and pulled him down.
Lu Quan's shouts kept echoing in the Ganlu Hall, and the officials of the aristocratic families below were all silent and did not dare to speak.
He was afraid that Li Shimin would be angry and put them in jail.
"snort!"
"Today, let's retreat from the court!"
Li Shimin glanced at the officials of the aristocratic families with a cold look, snorted coldly, and walked away!
.........
In Chang'an City, one of the five surnames is Wangwang, the underworld of the Cui family.
Lu Quan was arrested, and the leader of the family was temporarily in charge of the Cui family.
After the court meeting, the news was immediately passed to all the major families, and the heads of the major families immediately gathered here to discuss countermeasures.
"Family heads, what should we do?"
"The man from the palace actually broke up with me and other aristocratic families because of a mere untouchable. In this way, our plan was ruined."
The head of the Cui family spoke, with surprise, confusion and anger in his voice.
This result was something he never expected.
Originally, they thought that if Li Shimin was defeated, Qin Wenyuan would definitely die!
After all, Qin Wenyuan doesn't matter whether he has an official position or not, whether he wants connections or not. Apart from a title, he has no other conspicuous features.
However, he never expected that Li Shimin not only did not punish Qin Wenyuan, but instead punished Lu Quan, the official representative of the Lu family in the court.
"hateful!"
"I just can't understand how a doctor with a pariah background could make His Majesty the Emperor do this!?"
The head of the Cui family gritted his teeth and said with great anger.
As the prime minister of a country, Lu Quan was the pillar of the Lu family and the face of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes.
Now being accused and imprisoned is a big blow to Qiwang of the fifth surname.
"yes!"
"that is!"
"crazy!"
...
Many family heads immediately nodded in agreement after hearing this, and everyone was full of doubts about Li Shimin's behavior.
Isn’t it obvious how to choose between one person’s life and hundreds of thousands of victims?
But Li Shimin chose the option they thought was the least likely option!
"Family heads, since the matter has reached this point, Qin Wenyuan's matter can only be put on hold for the time being."
"However, the person in the palace treats our family like this, so we can't just swallow it."
"How could the Li family have achieved this great land without the help of our family?"
"To treat us like this now is equivalent to burning down bridges?!"
The head of the Wang family said in an angry voice.
I think back then, Li Yuan rebelled in Taiyuan, and the Wang family has its roots in Taiyuan.
I don’t know how much manpower, material and financial resources were invested in Li Yuan at that time. Naturally, I feel unwilling to be treated like this now.
"That's right!"
"We should unite and let the Li family see how powerful we are."
"Let him understand that without the support of our family, the Li family is nothing!"
Many family heads agreed and felt the same way.
"good!"
"If that's the case, then we will do our best to plunder the market and not leave a grain of rice or wheat behind for him!"
"The time will come when he begs us!"
The head of the Wang family said to everyone, his eyes filled with resentment.
As soon as this suggestion came out, it immediately received strong approval from the heads of various aristocratic families. They wanted to unite to make Li Shimin regret this decision!!
