This made His Majesty feel very unhappy, so he still expressed his anger towards Quan Wanji after discussing King Wu's crime and punishment at court.
I think you are a teacher, Quan Wanji, and you assist my son but cannot correct his mistakes. Now, my son has been dismissed from office and his household status has been reduced.
Don't you have any fault at all? According to my opinion, if my son has committed such a big crime, then don't you deserve to die?
As a result, Liu Fan, the censor at the time, stood up to remonstrate and even mentioned Fang Xuanling as a model.
Therefore, Fang Xuanling remembers Liu Fanyan most clearly.
Fang Xuanling assisted His Majesty, but could not stop His Majesty from hunting, so how could Your Majesty solely blame the King of Shu, Chang Shiquan for thousands of years?
At that time, His Majesty was very angry and walked away immediately.
Afterwards, His Majesty summoned Liu Qing alone and asked him directly why you wanted to accuse me.
Liu Fan replied that the lord is wise and the ministers are upright, and the majesty is benevolent and holy, and I dare not fail to follow my stupid uprightness.
In short, Liu Fan cleverly dispelled His Majesty's anger with his flattery.
And now that Your Majesty is mentioning this matter again, this is simply using His Highness the King of Wu as a tool and an example, with the intention of punishing the King of Wei severely, right?
Sure enough, next, His Majesty's words finally shifted from Li Ke's focus to this matter.
The King of Wei was not strict with his subordinates, which was only one of his faults. If the King of Wei had behaved upright, instead of being full of complaints in private.
How could those subordinate officials of the Wei Palace gather desperadoes to assassinate the imperial officials because of this?
Listening to His Majesty stating the facts seemingly calmly, the relief on the faces of all the ministers and ministers had long since disappeared, and they all listened with solemn expressions.
"King Wei is also my beloved son. I treat him very affectionately, but I didn't expect that he would be so narrow-minded..."
Jiang Yaqing and other officials of the Wei Palace did evil things. Although he did not know about it, he must also bear responsibility.
In the past, King Wu Li Ke was severely punished for gambling, which suddenly cleared the royal family.
Nowadays, an official of Wei King Li Tai dares to assassinate a court official. If he is not severely punished, Li Shimin, as the emperor, will feel uneasy.
Therefore, even if you feel very sad inside, you must be severely punished if you deserve it.
Let everyone in the world know that when a prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the people.
Having said this, Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes and put his hands behind his back. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty about his treatment of Wei King Li Tai.
“The King of Wei was arrogant and domineering, did not know people well, was not strict with his subordinates, and had very selfish thoughts in his heart...so that his subordinates did such shocking and evil things.
Therefore, he was reduced to the king of Donglai County, and his title was reduced to 500.
#####
All the important officials of the imperial court still felt lingering fears when they left Wencheng Hall.
I never thought that His Majesty would punish King Wei so severely, oh no, it should be Li Tai, King of Donglai County.
Chu Suiliang, who was beside Changsun Wuji, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty, this is too, too much..."
When he said this, he also glanced at Cheng Yaojin who was not far away.
Seeing Chu Suiliang's meaningful move, Changsun Wuji stroked his long beard and frowned.
I always feel something is wrong, although in the past few years, Wei King Li Tai has indeed not been as favored by His Majesty as he used to be.
However, His Majesty treated him very kindly. Changsun Wuji noticed this and even talked to him about the reconciliation between Wei King Li Tai and the Crown Prince.
It is said that the King of Wei and the prince frequently moved around during this period, and the two brothers had a good relationship, which made him very happy.
Under such circumstances, since the King of Wei did not know that the officials in the East Palace wanted to take Cheng Sanlang's life, even if he was severely punished, it would not be appropriate.
In short, your Majesty's actions like this will definitely be praised by all ministers, both civil and military, and will make all officials return to their hearts and bring your Majesty's reputation to a higher level.
However, from another perspective, as an uncle, Changsun Wuji still felt that His Majesty's treatment was a bit excessive.
I don’t know how your Majesty will explain it to the Queen after this news spreads.
Changsun Wuji finally just whispered to Chu Suiliang.
"Everything must be viewed from two sides. Your Majesty has his own reasons for doing this."
After the ministers had gone away, Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief. A cloud of worry appeared on his face again, and he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
How to deal with this matter? Although the biggest hidden danger has been eliminated, I have not yet communicated the matter of King Wei to Guanyin.
Now that I have made my decision, I don’t know if my wife will feel grudge after hearing about it.
But the problem is that he must deal with King Li Tai of Wei severely, so as to give an explanation to his eldest son Cheng Qian who is cooperating with him.
You can't really let Wei King Li Tai off just to hide the truth. If that's the case, Li Shimin doesn't know how he will meet his eldest son in the future.
Just when he was a little worried about how to explain it to his wife after a while.
I heard voices coming from the door, and then this little cutie Li Mingda walked in with a bright smile on his face.
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Li Mingda, and he was thinking about how to solve the problem. The appearance of this clever little ghost gave him inspiration.
Li Mingda saw his father's somewhat exaggerated smile and couldn't help but curiously tilted his cute little head and said suspiciously.
"Dad, what are you laughing at? You're smiling so weirdly."
Li Shimin wiped his face and waved to Li Mingda.
"Ha, dad just thought of a good thing. Come on, good girl, come over and sit down."
"Dad has a problem and wants to ask Xiao Sizi to help him..."
Li Mingda obediently sat next to Li Shimin, and nodded seriously with a small face.
"Daddy, tell me, as long as little Sizi can do it, I won't refuse."
"Well... good girl, please take a look at this first."
Li Shimin copied the memorial written by Ma Zhou on the desk and handed it to Li Mingda beside him.
Li Mingda glanced at his biological father with some surprise, but carefully opened the memorial and read it carefully.
Soon, a look of shock appeared on Li Mingda's face, and she raised her head to look at her biological father. Finally, she pursed her red lips tightly and continued to look with burning eyes.
After reading them all, he slowly placed the memorial on the desk.
However, a pair of bright eyes with obvious emotions looked at his biological father, and the meaning was very obvious.
Li Shimin's scalp felt a little numb when he saw it, and he coughed uncomfortably.
"Well, Cheng Sanlang is safe and sound."
"My daughter knows." Li Mingda answered with four words crisply and continued to look at his biological father.
Li Shimin then cleared his throat and said to his daughter, "Don't worry, daughter, dad has decided to severely punish the offenders."
