"When will my husband's martial arts disciples return to Chang'an?" Empress Changsun asked with a gentle smile.
"They should be on their way back already. If these bastards don't come back, I will have to take care of them."
"You have already severely humiliated those aristocratic families in Luoyang. If you don't come back, aren't you afraid that those aristocratic families will really send capable people to compete with them?"
Li Mingda only heard the good news from Zhao Kun, but the details were not clear, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Dad, if you put it this way, have they really swept away the literary world in Central China?"
"Well, that's right, haha... This time, those aristocratic families have really lost their face.
This year's "Luoyang Peony Collection" actually made a bunch of people vulgar and, ahem, wiped out a bunch of martial arts disciples."
"All taken?" Queen Changsun's eyes widened in disbelief. From Queen Changsun's point of view, being able to be evenly matched was already a huge loss of face to those aristocratic families.
But from what my husband meant, it seemed like every quota was taken up.
Li Shimin couldn't help but burst into laughter, nodded and explained.
"That's right, each of the nine distinguished disciples who went there has a masterpiece recorded in the "Luoyang Peony Collection"."
"On the contrary, Cheng Sanlang and Ke'er who stayed in Luoyang did not take action, according to the secret report of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy.
It’s because the second son of the Zheng family and Cui Luoyang are willing to persuade a group of merchants in Luoyang North City to fully cooperate with the construction of the palace in exchange for Cheng Sanlang and Ke’er not taking action.”
As a result, there was no need for these two demon moths to take action, and all nine places were taken up by other martial arts disciples.
"So powerful?" This sentence was said by Li Mingda.
"So cruel?" This sentence was said by Empress Changsun.
Li Shimin nodded helplessly. "What can I say? Those aristocratic families really regard the Luoyang Peony Festival as something they want and want."
"Those so-called talents who were sent here to make a name for themselves, haha... I'm afraid they're not even worthy of carrying Cheng Sanlang's shoes."
"...They really are." Empress Changsun also nodded her head and agreed with this statement.
After all, she had not seen the "Luoyang Peony Collection" before. There were very few truly exquisite works in it.
Most of them are just nonsense works. They can be recorded in "Luoyang Peony Collection" because of their status and background.
On the contrary, those excellent works by poets and poets from common people, which can be listed in "Luoyang Peony Collection", are at least worth reading.
However, even if they knew what was going on at the Luoyang Peony Festival, it was naturally impossible for the imperial court to ignore it.
After all, this is something done by a wealthy family, and it is really inappropriate for the court to intervene.
"But this time, haha... I'm really looking forward to what those aristocratic families will do next."
Empress Changsun stroked her eyebrows and smiled calmly. "Do you need to say more? Naturally, it is to impeach those martial arts disciples for leaving their posts without permission and having fun."

The court meeting had just begun when a censor came out to impeach someone. Li Shimin almost laughed out loud.
"I wonder who you want to impeach?"
The censor pursed his lips somewhat guiltily, but finally he felt relieved and gave the name of the person to be impeached.
"I impeached Zuo Nei of the East Palace and led the envoy Yuchi Baoqing. Zuo Nei led a thousand oxen to prepare for Qin Huaidao..."
After hearing this, I was feeling proud that Erlang of my family could become famous for the heirloom of poetry and calligraphy of the Yuchi family.
Yu Chigong, who was bragging proudly with his brothers, suddenly became unhappy and stood up with a glare.
"What did you say?!"
Cheng Yaojin, who was squatting next to him, quickly grabbed the bad-tempered brother Yuchi.
"Old Hei, cough, Old Yuchi, sit down quickly, I'm so anxious, we haven't even started yet."
Yuchi Gong sat down angrily, glaring fiercely at the censor who had begun to sweat on his face with a pair of big cannibal eyes.
"Damn it, you start trouble with the second son of a certain family as soon as you open your mouth. Isn't that going to make things difficult for me?"
Li Shimin was too lazy to pay attention to the group of military officials who were starting to bulge their eyes. He smiled half-heartedly and asked the eunuch to hand over the impeachment memorial to the imperial court and glanced at it.
"Any more?"
Seeing that there is no expression on His Majesty's face, since you didn't stop him, hehe, then don't blame us for being at odds with those vulgar warriors.
"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach..."
"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."
Li Shimin looked at the memorials impeaching Wu Xun's children for leaving their posts without authorization, wandering to other places for fun, and causing bad influence.
His ears were filled with the hoarse chatter of officials with wealthy family backgrounds, but he showed no expression at all.
After turning over and over, I found that among these memorials, there was actually a memorial to impeach Cheng Sanlang for threatening the judges and maliciously blowing whistles at the Luoyang Peony Festival.
Li Shimin almost spat out the tea soup he had just swallowed.
After calming down, with a glance, the eunuch raised his voice and howled, finally suppressing the court that was like a chicken farm.
#####
"I have gone through all the memorials of the Qing family. Well... where is the Chai Qing family?"
Chai Shao didn't expect that he would be the first to be called out of duty, but he didn't understand why His Majesty called him out, so he could only bite the bullet and stand up.
"I'm here."
Li Shimin asked with a serious expression and a solemn tone.
"Chai Qing, your general Li Zhen escorted his best friend to Luoyang for medical treatment. Did he ask for leave from you? Can you grant him leave?"
"Your Majesty, General Li Lang has asked me for leave, and I have indeed granted him leave."
"Um...where is Xue Qing's family?"
As Li Shimin called out the superior officials one by one, everyone said that those Zixun noble disciples were all good children who had taken leave and fled to Luoyang.
After Li Shimin asked all the questions, he stroked his long beard and waved his hand with a smile.
"It's just a trivial matter, you gentlemen, you don't need to mention it in such a trivial way."
"The two young ministers, Yuchi Baoqing and Qin Huaidao, are suffering from an emergency. They cannot be cured by seeking medical advice. They go to Luoyang to seek treatment from Cheng Sanlang, one of the most famous doctors in the Tang Dynasty."
"I don't think there is any problem. As for the other martial arts disciples who care about Paoze Zhiyou and escort them there, there is no problem either..."
Looking at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who had a serious expression but was full of nonsense, all the gentlemen from aristocratic families had black lines on their faces.
All the high-ranking military officials grinned happily, and Yu Chigong's naturally unhappy face finally broke into a rare smile.
"As for these articles of impeachment, Cheng Sanlang threatened other judges at the Luoyang Peony Festival, and even replaced one of the judges..."
"Well, Cheng Sanlang doesn't seem to be a minister of the court, right? He's just a young man messing around. Why are you impeaching him, an ordinary citizen, at the court meeting?"
"..."
Tomorrow Cheng Sanlang will wander back to Chang'an
