Chapter 29: Respectfully invite the Holy Inquisition
The Jinwu street envoy quickly reported this matter to the governor of Yong. He originally expected to be scolded by the governor.
But it didn't happen. The chief official said extremely calmly: "I understand. Just wait here for a while and I will tell you what to do when I come back."
The attitude of the chief official also calmed down Jinwu Street Envoy.
The officials of Yongzhou Governor quickly found Wang Yushi and reported the matter to Wang Yushi.
This Yongzhou official also came from the Wang family. Although he was not a direct descendant of the Wang family, he was still one of the extremely important official forces of the Wang family.
And this Wang Yushi is the backbone of the Wang family.
After Wang Yushi learned about this matter, his triangular eyes turned rapidly, and he also did not give the result easily.
Instead, he quickly visited Changsun Wuji. After pondering for a moment, Changsun Wuji said to Wang Yushi: "Go up to Heaven to listen and ask for the Holy Judge!"
Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Wang Yushi couldn't help but be stunned.
People at the top look at problems from a completely different perspective than people at the bottom.
For example, after the incident happened, Jinwu Street made them think about how to send these plague gods away and protect themselves.
After Wang Yushi heard about this incident, he thought about how to make the matter bigger.
No matter what the reason is, in short, it is wrong for a prince to leave the palace privately and beat people.
He is a censor himself and can criticize from all aspects, which is exactly his specialty.
But what Prime Minister Changsun wanted was to go up to Heaven to listen and ask for the Holy Judge.
In other words, this matter should be brought directly to the Emperor and asked for his decision.
If you really want to do this, this matter will really become a big deal.
There are Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to try the case, but to bypass these two departments and directly ask the Holy Judge is to break the reputation and stir up trouble.
Asking for a Holy Judgment is equivalent to making Prince Li Min's scandal known to the public and ruining his reputation.
From then on, there was a never-ending relationship between them.
And the emperor will definitely not have a good impression of him.
Wang Yushi also knew why Changsun Wuji asked him to do this.
It is nothing more than suppressing Li Ke by suppressing Li Min, so that the two brothers have no possibility of getting involved in the throne.
At this time, Wang Yushi was hesitant.
Because he actually knows very well what kind of character the manager of their Wang family has.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Wang Yushi couldn't help but said to Changsun Wuji: "Prime Minister Changsun, the cause of this matter may be that my family members of the Wang family did something extraordinary..."
As a result, before Wang Yushi could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji smiled lightly and said: "When things have reached this point, the cause of the matter is no longer important. What is important is that as a prince, he did something he shouldn't have done."
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Wang Yushi also showed a thoughtful look on his face.
That's right, when things have reached this point, the cause of the matter is actually not that important anymore.
…
In the afternoon, Li Shimin was reviewing the memorial, when suddenly a personal eunuch came to report that Wang Yushi had a group of officials outside who wanted to see him.
Upon hearing the news, Li Shimin couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes.
A bunch of officials came to ask for an audience?
what happened?
Finally, Li Shimin said doubtfully: "Let them come in."
Not long after, Yushi Wang and a group of officials walked into the imperial study, then knelt down and said: "I respectfully request the Holy Judge!"
Respectfully request the Holy Judge?
Li Shimin couldn't help but frown and asked: "Wang Yushi, I don't understand, what happened?"
Wang Yushi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Sixth Prince, led two princes and several princes from the prince's palace to beat people in the street and openly beat the soldiers patrolling the streets. I respectfully request a holy judgment."
Um?
It was that bastard Li Min who caused trouble again?
He even brought other people's children with him to cause trouble?
Li Shimin suddenly became angry and really wanted to catch the boy and beat him severely.
But no matter how naughty he is, he is his own son after all.
Li Shimin couldn't help but said with a headache: "Wang Yushi, they are still children and may be a bit naughty. Let Dali Temple handle this kind of thing."
This matter can be big or small.
If it is left to Dali Temple, Dali Temple may not be able to deal with it, and in the end they will have no choice but to let it go.
Li Shimin also wanted to reduce big things to small things, and he turned small things into small things.
The Royal Censor Wang said resolutely: "Your Majesty, the prince represents the majesty of the royal family. There is no small matter for the royal family, and there is no selfish matter for the royal family. I respectfully request the Holy Judgment!"
All the ministers following behind Wang Yushi also said in unison: "My lord, I respectfully request the Holy Judgment!"
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's face became ugly.
These officials are all officials of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes faction.
These people really don’t take me seriously!
Things have reached this point and can no longer be suppressed.
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will do as you wish!"
…
Half an hour later, the civil and military officials from all over the court gathered together.
Many ministers were confused and didn't know what was going on.
But soon, through whispers, they found out the reason for the incident, and then they couldn't help but look at Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Yuchigong, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozhong with schadenfreude.
And these fierce generals also knew that it was their sons who caused trouble, so they couldn't help but gather around to whisper and exchange opinions.
Not long after, Li Min and the others were brought into the main hall by soldiers.
As soon as he came in, Cheng Zhijie rushed up and beat Cheng Chuliang hard.
While fighting, I saw Cheng Chuliang being so stupid that he didn't know how to cooperate. He couldn't help but whisper: "You bastard, scream louder for me."
Cheng Chuliang immediately shouted loudly and in cooperation.
"Ah, it hurts me so much! Ah, I'm going to be beaten to death! Ah!"
Over there, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, Li Xiaogong and others also walked out one after another, found their sons, and went up to beat him.
Yuchi Baoqi was beaten to the ground by Yuchi Gong with one slap. Yuchi Baoqi was so anxious that he couldn't help but whisper: "Father, are you really beating me? Take a look at how Uncle Cheng beats him?"
Yuchi Gong took a sneak peek over there and realized that, despite Cheng Chuliang's yelling, Cheng Zhijie was just making loud thunder and light rain, and was not exerting any effort at all.
Yuchi Gong couldn't help but sigh, honest people are at a disadvantage!
For a time, the whole hall was filled with the sound of fists and kicks, and the sound of crying could be heard. The whole hall suddenly became as lively as a market.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin couldn't help but have black lines on his head. He slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Have you all had enough trouble?"
Cheng Zhijie stopped on the spot, picked up Cheng Chuliang, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this kid is causing trouble all day long. He really pisses me off, old Cheng. I will teach him a lesson when I get back and say goodbye!"
