Chapter 652: Pei Sikong, who cried, made trouble and resigned
His Majesty Li Yuan was sitting in the Tai Chi Hall, rubbing his eyebrows with his hands in embarrassment.
Didn't he just say to his good friend Pei Ji, "The Prince of Yan County lost his moral character after drinking, which is unseemly, but because he has made great contributions to the country, he will be fined for three years and demoted one level, Pei Qing."
how about?'
As a result, my good friends started to get into trouble!
"The sage clearly knows that when the sage raised his army from Taiyuan, I made an agreement with the sage. When the world is peaceful and the world is safe, I will resign from all posts and retire to the forest with peace of mind."
Pei Ji stood expressionless in the Tai Chi Hall, with tears in his eyes, and bowed with his hands clasped in fists.
"Now that the world has been unified, it is almost time to fulfill the agreement I made with the saint in the past. I would like to ask the saint to accept my request for the sake of my old age and frailty!"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan suddenly felt upset.
Pei Qing actually played the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging himself with him again... No! It should be said that he cried, made trouble, and resigned. If he remembered correctly, the last time Pei Qing used this method was Wei Yunqi's.
When the bastard falsely accused him of treason and asked someone to investigate him.
But that was treason. Is Luo Yi's beating of his son this time so important to him?
Isn’t it said that his son Lawyer Pei has been rescued by Qingwei...
"Pei Qing..."
His Majesty Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji below and said helplessly.
"Didn't I agree with you at the beginning that you and I, the monarch and my ministers, will start well and end well, stay together until old age, and live a happy life? Now the world has just been settled, and our good days have not even passed two days, why are you making such a fuss again?
What about resigning?”
"The Sage's Ming Jian..."
Although His Majesty Li Yuan was gentle and courteous, it seemed that Pei Ji was determined as he bowed again and answered.
"My qualifications are dull, and I don't deserve the special treatment I have today, whether in terms of merit or honors. It is only because of the grace of the saint that I can be ranked first. Nowadays, the government and punishments are wrong, the officialdom is lax, and all of them are old ministers."
However, the civil and military officials in the court have also criticized this. If the old minister keeps lingering on, I am afraid it will harm the virtue of a saint!"
"nonsense!"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Yuan suddenly became furious and reached out to slap the penis hard.
"Pei Qing, you have the honor of Zuo Ming, and it is natural that you should be the first in merit. Besides, now that the court is under your control, Pei Qing, the government is harmonious and the people are harmonious. When will there be any mistakes in government and punishment, or official laxity... Who is it?
Spreading rumors and slandering like this?”
"I know that the saint's words are meant to comfort me..."
Pei Ji raised his head and cupped his hands towards His Majesty Li Yuan.
"The truth is up to its own devices. For example, the reason why the children's lawyer had a conflict with Prince Yan this time was because Prince Yan spoke upright and spoke what was fair."
"Huh!"
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Yuan seemed to vaguely understand why his good friend was so stubborn.
"What fair words did he say? Pei Qing, please tell me!"
"It's nothing..."
Pei Ji cupped his hands and said expressionlessly.
"That is to say, the old minister is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He just relies on his hairy beard to please the saint. That's why he has reached today's status. He is no different from the dog raised by the saint. Nowadays, the government and punishment in the DPRK are messy, the officialdom is lax, and the DPRK is in disarray.
The middle minister dares to be angry but dare not speak. If it were not to give the saint face, no one would call the veteran Pei Sikong, because everyone calls the veteran Pei Laogou in private. "
"Li Yi has gone so far!"
As soon as Pei Ji finished speaking, King Qin Li Shimin stood up in anger.
"Pei Sikong has been conscientious and conscientious since he raised his army in Taiyuan. He ranks first among the 'Taiyuan Yuanmou Heroes' and is the most meritorious person in the Tang Dynasty. How could he, Li Yi, dare to slander Pei Sikong like this?
This is simply a wolfish ambition..."
As he said this, King Qin bowed down and prostrated himself, speaking sincerely.
"Aye! If Li Yi slanders the 'Mr. Taiyuan Yuanmou' without any punishment, doesn't it mean to tell the world that there is no use in bleeding blood and meritorious service for the Tang Dynasty?"
"What King Qin said is absolutely true!"
Chen Shuda also came out of the court and bowed down directly.
"The Prince of Yan County relied on his high achievements and acted wildly. He slandered Pei Sikong in front of him and beat the prince-in-law and captain in the back. This shows that although he was given a surname by a saint, he still had no sympathy for the clan and no respect for the court.
It can be said that I asked the saint to punish Li Yi severely to serve as a warning to others."
After Chen Shuda spoke, Tang Jian, Xiao Yu, Yang Gongren, Changsun Shunde and other people who belonged to the imperial party and the Qin royal party also came out one after another, saying righteously that Luo Yi was crazy...
In the end, more than 98% of the officials in the court stood up and supported the severe punishment of Luo Yi!
"well!"
Seeing the courtiers below the court calling for Luo Yi's punishment, His Majesty Li Yuan suddenly sighed in embarrassment.
He is so stupid! Really, he only knew that the fight between Luo Yi and Lawyer Pei was because of Mrs. Li Si of Pingkangfang Lianyiju, but he did not know that the root cause of the matter was that Luo Yi actually slandered his good friend behind his back.
If he had known this situation earlier, he would not have drank with Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei last night, let alone drank so much, causing him to lose his vigilance. In the soft jade of the two of them,
Mi Mi Hu Hu agreed to Luo Yi’s request!
If I hadn't agreed, I wouldn't be in such a dilemma now!
If you punish Luo Yi severely, you will lose face in front of the harem beauties; but if you don't punish Luo Yi severely, you will lose face in front of your good gay friends.
well!
Damn Luo Yi, why do you want to slander my good friend when you have nothing to do?
"No need to say anything, Pei Qing!"
After thinking for a long time, His Majesty Li Yuan finally made up his mind.
Only children make choices. As an adult, His Majesty Li Yuan naturally wants them all!
"It is an indisputable fact that you have worked hard and achieved great results. If you look back now, except for some mediocre people, all the civil and military officials in the whole court are complaining about you..."
As soon as His Majesty Li Yuan finished speaking, those "foolish people" from the East Palace immediately quietly took two steps forward, and one by one they blended into the ranks of those protesting for Pei Sikong.
"This is enough to prove your ability, Pei Qing, so Pei Qing, you better not be angry. I know that your hard work is not enough? Let's do this! I will seal you another 500 households. What do you think?"
"The saint's virtues are as high as the heavens and the earth, and I will remember them deeply from my heart!"
After listening to Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji immediately fell to his knees and was moved to tears.
"But the old minister himself knows that everything King Yan said is true. After all, the old minister is not as intelligent as the average person. He may not be qualified to be a prefect of a county, let alone the saint has such an important responsibility for the old minister. Please allow the saint to allow the old minister to beg for his remains.
Township."
Li Yuan pinched his eyebrows with his hands in annoyance.
Looking at the look of this good friend of mine, if I don't deal with Luo Yi this time, this matter will never be finished.
Whatever!
"The king of Yan County, Luo Yi, was arrogant and slandered the 'hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou'. I thought he could no longer continue to garrison Chang'an."
Li Yuan took a long breath and stated his bottom line.
"Since Luo Yi has lived in Youzhou for a long time to fight against the Turks and has a reputation for being famous, I decided to let him lead the Tianjie Army to guard Jingzhou as an official. He will not be allowed to return to Chang'an without an edict. What do you think?"
After hearing Li Yuan's decision, Li Shimin sighed silently.
Although Fang Mou, Duduan and others had roughly guessed that Aye would deal with it this way before, he was still a little disappointed when he heard the decision. However, he reacted immediately and prostrated himself along with the rest of the people.
"But I will obey the orders of the saint!"
…
After His Majesty Li Yuan made his decision, Luo Yi, who was originally under temporary house arrest for injuring Lawyer Pei, was quickly released.
Then, after being reminded by Wei Zheng, Sima of the East Palace, Luo Yi immediately decided to come to the East Palace to thank Li Jiancheng for helping him in this matter, and also bid farewell to him.
Although Luo Yi had been to the East Palace twice before, he felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the door this time!
In the past, although the guards seemed to be elite, they were actually too shabby to be used. But now they stood there one by one with cold faces, stern expressions, and murderous intent. They were completely different.
"Wei Sima..."
Luo Yi looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Has His Royal Highness a new group of guards? Why does it feel completely different from before?"
"People haven't changed."
Wei Zheng looked at the guards on both sides and said proudly.
"However, during this period, His Highness the Crown Prince promoted a captain named Zuo to train troops. He actually has some tricks. In just a few months, these imperial guards of the East Palace seem to have been completely transformed."
"There is such a thing..."
Luo Yi nodded in surprise.
"To be able to turn those former undisciplined guards into what they are now, Captain Zuo already has some tricks up his sleeve!"
After entering the Chengming Gate of the East Palace, Wei Zheng stopped and bowed to Luo Yi.
"Prince Yan, because His Highness the Crown Prince wants to have a secret conversation with you alone in Jiade Palace, I can only send you here."
"Thank you Wei Sima!"
Luo Yi nodded and gave a rough smile.
"This is not the first time I've been here in the East Palace. Sima, it's okay for you to go. I can just go to Jiade Palace by myself!"
After the two broke up, Wei Zheng turned left directly from Youyongfumen to Youchunfang, while Luo Yi continued to the Jiade Palace under the leadership of a cold-faced and unsmiling guard from the East Palace.
As soon as he entered the door, Luo Yi shivered, and then the colder he got as he walked. When he saw Li Jiancheng sitting in the middle of the hall with one hand on a strange big sword, he even felt like he was coming directly from the hall.
Summer has entered winter.
"Li Yi has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"waived!"
After hearing Luo Yi's words, Li Jiancheng replied in a low voice, raised his hand, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Luo Yi didn't know if it was his imagination, but when Li Jiancheng opened his eyes, he always felt a blue light flashing in his eyes.
"Prince Yanjun, what you did this time was too reckless, making it very difficult for me to do it, do you understand?"
Li Jiancheng opened his eyes and stared at Luo Yi, his tone was low and full of majesty.
"Even if Pei Ji does not have much talent, he is the saint's confidant after all. If you comment on him behind his back at will, many of the saint's confidants will be dissatisfied, and these people are originally the same people who support Gu. You know Gu Jiejie
How much effort will it take to make up for this stupid mistake of yours?"
"Someone knows!"
Although Luo Yi was a little disgusted with Li Jiancheng's arrogant tone, after all, it was the other party's strength that made him escape this time, so Luo Yi did not refute, but bowed his head and agreed.
"I will definitely not do this next time!"
"next time?"
After hearing Luo Yi's words, Li Jiancheng sneered. He stood up from his position, holding the two-handed sword next to him that was shining with blue light in one hand, and pulled it out with a sound.
"No! Prince Yan, there will be no next time for you..."
After hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Luo Yi was suddenly a little shocked. He looked at Li Jiancheng walking towards him with a sword in front of him and asked subconsciously.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
"What to do? Of course I'm going to put a halter on your unruly, trouble-making wild horse..."
As he spoke, Li Jiancheng raised his hand and pointed at Luo Yi. Luo Yi suddenly felt as if a cold hand was pinching his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Then, Li Jiancheng pointed at Luo Yi's hand and pulled it towards him. Luo Yi felt like he had turned into a puppet on strings and couldn't help but rush towards Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng raised the blue sword in his hand and pointed it at Luo Yi's chest. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a cold smile.
"Come on! Luo Yi, accept this blessing from the Frost Mourning Divine Sword!"
