"Your Majesty, your Majesty..." East Palace Zhan Shi Yu Zhining pushed the golden mountain and jade pillar and bowed to the ground, saluting Li Shimin.
"The deputy leader Cheng Chubi led by Zuo Nei of the East Palace violated the law and neglected his official duties. He was punished with twenty sticks and a fine of three months' salary."
"???" Cheng Chubi looked confused. "Ah? Shouldn't His Majesty be dismissed from office? How can he still beat people?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers of the East Palace almost fell to the ground, and Changsun Wuji was completely confused.
Li Shimin, who had kept a straight face just now, almost laughed out loud. He reluctantly lowered his face and pointed at this silly boy.
"This is the rule. Get this bastard out immediately. After the beating, let him go back to duty. If he dares to slack off again, I won't be able to whip him to death."
Li Chengqian stood at the door of the palace, uneasy and walking around rubbing his hands.
I wanted to rush into the palace several times, but I was still afraid of my father's power and did not dare to take a step.
Fortunately, he didn't wait too long before he heard his father's treatment of Cheng Chubi from inside.
Li Chengqian was relieved and overjoyed. When he heard Cheng Chubi's incredible words, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Looking dumbfounded at Cheng Chubi being escorted out by the dark-faced Zhao Kun, Li Chengqian excitedly nodded to Cheng Chubi and then said to Zhao Kun.
"Please show mercy to General Zhao..."
"Your Majesty has spoken, and I dare not disobey it." Zhao said, "Zhao" was selfless and Kun returned the salute in a rigid manner and pushed Cheng Chubi away.
"Hurry up, I'll beat you up before you lose your official position. Aren't you happy?"
Cheng Chubi became increasingly unhappy. Losing his position is my main goal, okay, can you guys just follow my script?
Arriving at a corner outside the hall, Zhao Kun announced Li Shimin's oral instructions with a straight face, and saw several rough old men wearing helmets and armors with cheerful faces surrounding him.
"Hey, the third child in General Cheng's family is indeed pretty and pretty. He is more pleasing to the eye than his two older brothers."
"You are able to provoke His Majesty to punish you just a few days after joining the official service. You are really capable of this..."
"Come on, come on, little General Cheng, lie down quickly and let us relax your muscles and bones. When you are done, you can go back to duty."
Cheng Chubi looked at these gangsters who were laughing and taking pleasure in their misfortune, and felt that his life path was dark.
Zhao Kun, who was ordered to supervise, stood aside and winked, and the two elite staff in charge understood.
"Remember to scream, otherwise His Majesty will be annoyed and we won't be able to help you." The moment he picked up the wooden stick, he leaned close to Cheng Chubi's ear and whispered.
Cheng Chubi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he felt the big stick falling on his body, and he screamed subconsciously.

In the Manlu Hall, Yu Zhining tried his best to suppress his inner excitement.
Your Majesty was clearly protecting His Highness the Crown Prince and did not expose His Highness the Crown Prince's lies.
But just now, Changsun Shi read those words, which really disappointed Yu Zhining.
Your Majesty is unwilling to pursue the matter. As an official of the East Palace, you still want to make things worse.
They are simply stupid. Such people are the real disaster if they stay with the prince.
If you hadn't had an uncle who was the uncle of the state and an aunt who was the queen, Yu would have kicked you out of the East Palace long ago.
Li Chengqian was called into the palace again, walked to his father, bowed respectfully and sat upright.
Li Shimin stroked his sideburns and looked at the eldest son in front of him, his tone remained calm.
"Since you said you were going to understand the people's nature, tell me what you saw when you left the palace privately today?"
"Father, my son and I came out of the palace this time. Only then did we know that in Chang'an City, in addition to the east and west cities, there are also ordinary merchants carrying out trade in various shops."
"My son inquired and learned that although there are many goods in the east and west cities, everything in the world is available."
"However, some people who are far away from the east and west cities want to buy household items, and it is inconvenient to travel there."
"Therefore, small markets like this were born in these squares, which the people call grass markets..."
When Li Chengqian talked about this, his expression was quite exciting, as if he had discovered something extraordinary and novel.
Changsun Wuji sat on one side with a solemn expression, his eyes glancing at the father and son Li Chengqian and Li Shimin from time to time.
Li Shimin waited until Li Chengqian finished speaking and pondered for a while before speaking in a deep voice.
"It's a good thing that you can think of going deep into the people and understanding their sufferings."
"But all the officials in the East Palace also have the responsibility to maintain order in the East Palace."
"If you have such thoughts again, you should persuade your subordinates instead of leaving the palace privately, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked up at his father in surprise, then quickly leaned down and saluted.
"I understand, I would like to thank my father for your teachings."
"I don't want the prince to leave the palace alone again, do you understand?" Li Shimin's eyes fell on Yu Zhining.
"I obey the decree and will never let this happen again!" Yu Zhining secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied solemnly.
"In a few days, I will go to Jiucheng Palace with your mother and your grandpa. I hope that the prince will not disappoint me."
"My son, please remember this."
"Okay, everyone, please step aside. I still have to read." Li Shimin copied the book on the desk.
After everyone left the Manna Hall, Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
However, in the process of reviewing the whole incident, Li Shimin almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he thought of Cheng Chubi's question about how he could still hit someone.
"This bastard boy..."
#####
Changsun Wuji, who stepped out of the Manlu Hall, couldn't help but his face darkened when he heard the call.
I made a mistake. I didn't expect that the prince would defend Cheng Chubi so hard and take all the blame for the crime.
What my nephew said before is probably the truth, although it is not clear what Zhao Kun’s so-called secret memorial is.
But judging from His Majesty's punishment of Cheng Chubi which was almost an understatement.
If the prince did not step forward, Cheng Chubi would definitely end up leaving the East Palace sadly.
But after the prince does this, His Majesty must support the prince and safeguard his reputation.
The matter of leaving the East Palace privately must be reduced to a major matter and a trivial matter.
"Uncle..." Changsun Wuji, who was thinking calmly, heard the greeting coming from beside him.
When he turned to look at Li Chengqian, he already had a smile on his face. "Your Highness is fine if you have nothing to do. Your Highness has such a kind nature, which is really a blessing for the East Palace."
Hearing these words, Li Chengqian felt a little at ease and smiled shyly.
"But Your Highness, after this incident, you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds in the future. After all, not every time, Your Majesty is willing to minimize big things."
"Thank you uncle for your teaching." Li Chengqian nodded and replied.
Changsun Wuji didn't say anything more, patted Li Chengqian's thin shoulder, and walked away quickly.
As soon as Changsun Wuji left, Cheng Chubi walked over with his arms on his waist and grinned.
Seeing Cheng Chubi like this, Li Chengqian hurried forward to greet him, his face full of shame.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a stick. My father finally didn't drive you away."
