Chapter Thirty: The Charcoal Seller

Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Li Daozong, and Li Xiaogong also followed the same example. They lifted their babies with their hands and said loudly: "Farewell!"

Then these five guys turned around and left.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's nose almost turned crooked with anger.

Is it so natural to walk?

Do you think this is your home, where you can come and leave whenever you want?

"Stop and come back to me!"

Hearing Li Shimin's voice, these five guys came back reluctantly.

"Your Majesty, after I return, I will definitely teach this little brat a lesson, so there is no need to waste everyone's time in the main hall, right?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but said with a stern face: "Put the person down, and you all stand aside for me, and you are not allowed to speak."

Li Shimin didn't look good on these guys who were pretending to be stupid.

Cheng Zhijie and the other five old men reluctantly put their son down, walked to the side and murmured in a low voice.

Then, Wang Yushi stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I impeach the sixth prince Li Min, the county prince Li Jingren... Lu Guogong's palace Cheng Hualiang and five people bullied the people and beat the officials. The sixth prince Li Min is the mastermind of this matter.

, the influence among the people is extremely bad, causing the people to be prejudiced against the royal family and senior officials of our dynasty."

"This matter, if the parties involved are not severely punished, will cause a heavy blow to the credibility of our court. In the long run, the country will be ruined, Your Majesty! Please make your decision on this matter!"

This Wang Yushi, with his viciousness, brought this matter to the forefront.

The focus of his impeachment is no longer just on this matter, but the impact of this matter.

After hearing Wang Yushi's words, Cheng Zhijie's lungs almost exploded with anger. He couldn't help but pointed at Wang Yushi's nose and cursed: "Fart! Your mother's serial ring farts are really smelly! Believe it or not, I can spank you?"

"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and really wanted to go up and beat someone up.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong and others around him caught him in time.

Li Shimin said with a straight face: "Quiet! Cheng Zhijie, if you dare to mess around again, I will kick you out!"

Cheng Zhijie said angrily: "Old minister, I know, Your Majesty."

Then, Li Shimin looked at Li Min with sharp eyes, and asked: "Li Min, what's your defense for Wang Yushi's impeachment of you?"

Li Min straightened his body and said loudly: "I would like to inform my father, the reason why I beat people is because I think they should be beaten! Not beating them will not make the people angry, and not beating them will not promote law and order. This is my excuse.

.”

Cheng Chuliang followed up and said: "Yes, they should fight! Not fighting is not enough, not enough, not enough for what?"

Yuchi Baoqi curled his lips and said, "If you don't beat me, you won't be satisfied. Are you stupid?"

Wang Yushi couldn't help but asked pitifully: "Your Majesty, please see, they are still so unscrupulous in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Please take a closer look, Your Majesty!"

Next to them, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong and others couldn't help but secretly complain, secretly scolding these little bastards for being stupid and not having the demeanor of their father back then.

Can you admit this kind of thing?

I firmly refuse to admit that I hit someone. Let’s muddy the waters first. With me here to help, what are you afraid of?

But it's good now that they have admitted it themselves and are still so arrogant. This is really difficult to handle.

Li Shimin's face didn't look good either, and he couldn't help but asked sharply: "Li Min, tell me the reason why you hit someone! If you can't tell me a legitimate reason, I will never let you go lightly today!"

Li Min coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then said loudly: "Father, please forgive me!"

"The charcoal seller cuts firewood to burn charcoal in the southern mountains. His face is covered with dust and smoke, his temples are gray and his fingers are black. Where can he make money from selling charcoal? The clothes on his back are only food in his mouth. What a pity, he only wears the same clothes. He is worried that the charcoal is cheap and the weather is cold.

"

What Li Min is reciting is a famous poem by Bai Juyi that has been passed down through the ages.

Because this poem was very appropriate to the situation at hand, Li Min chose this poem.

Li Min is articulate, clear, full of emotion, and sonorous.

The hard work, hardship and struggle of the charcoal seller are vividly expressed.

At this time, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were also stunned by the Sixth Prince Li Min.

They never expected that the sixth prince would compose a poem on the spot.

Moreover, this poem has no gorgeous rhetoric, no uncommon words, and no obscure allusions.

This poem was catchy to read and the meaning was easy to understand. They were not surprised that the Sixth Prince could write such a poem.

However, this poem only has a few lines, which vividly expresses the hardships of low-level people like the charcoal seller, which actually made the civil servants look at Li Min with a high regard.

In fact, this is Bai Juyi's brilliance. He can use simple and easy-to-understand words to express such rich connotations. He must be a master.

Li Min continued chanting:

"At night, there is a foot of snow outside the city. At dawn, the charcoal cart is rolling over the icy ruts. The cattle are trapped and the people are hungry. The sun is already high. They rest in the mud outside the south gate of the city. Who is riding up? A noble servant of the Wang family in white. A cart of charcoal,

More than a thousand kilograms, the powerful servants can do nothing. The old man came to argue with anger and was beaten to death. Half a horse of red gauze and one foot of silk were tied to the bull's head to fill it with charcoal. "

At the end of the poem, because the scene did not fit, Li Min had to make some changes.

This change inevitably reduces the integrity of the poem and its literary quality.

But the overall sadness and anger, as well as the arrogance of the royal servants, were perfectly expressed.

After Li Min finished reciting this poem, everyone in the main hall couldn't help but fall silent.

Really, this poem is so amazing that almost everyone is immersed in the tragic experience of the charcoal seller.

This is the charm of a great poem!

If Li Min had just described what happened, he would never have achieved the current effect.

But this song sells charcoal, but it takes the whole thing to another level.

Li Min then said: "Father, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, why didn't I do anything when I saw this kind of thing? So, I stepped forward and beat the king's servant, and then I was sent to Wuhoupu by an official.

take away."

"After we arrived at Wuhoupu, they didn't ask us what happened or the ins and outs of the matter. They imprisoned us and asked our family to redeem us with money. They also threatened to punish us in the prison!"

"Moreover, Wuhou of Wuhoupu stretched out his hand to hit Erchen in the face, and Erchen was forced to resist! What Erchen wants to ask is, as a prince, Erchen still has to be punished for doing such a thing.

Impeachment of the imperial censor! What if the ministers are ordinary people? Who knows about this matter?"

"If we were ordinary people, wouldn't we be beaten to death by them and have no place to redress our grievances? How could a mere servant of the Wang family ignore the law? How could an official who was supposed to uphold justice for the people collude with the gangsters and break the law knowingly?"
