Chapter 654 Proud Li Tai

The atmosphere at the Great Court Meeting was very strange, and the ministers of various ministries began to report to His Majesty the emperor the various indicators of the empire last month.Then Master Shang Shu would come out and flatter Li Er, saying nonsense about Emperor Ying's peace tomorrow.

All the courtiers, even the officials of the various ministries who were reporting back, were actually absent-minded.From time to time, someone glanced at Wei Zheng, and there were even several times when the hall fell into silence.

Wei Zheng was like a rock facing the sea, standing there unmoving.No matter how you look at him, this brother is like an old monk in meditation.Changsun Wuji, who was standing next to him, even suspected that the imperial envoy had fallen asleep.

The censors at Yushitai were ready to move, but no one dared to stand up.The boss has already said that if he still insists on impeaching Yunhao at this time, his political future may be ruined.If His Majesty the Emperor and Wei Zheng wear a pair of trousers, the best end is to go fishing in Lingnan.

Li Tai stood under Danxi, his eyes kept scanning the faces of the censors at Yushitai.When he saw a young censor, he touched his nose.This is the signal to act. The young censor is named Shangguanyi, and he is only in his 20s this year.

It was Prince Li Chengqian who recommended him to enter Yushitai.It is said that he followed Chu Suiliang's door!No one can guess the twists and turns, but his body is deeply imprinted with the brand of His Royal Highness, and all courtiers know that he is the prince's man.

This is a trick played by Cen Wenwen, and Li Tai thinks it's time to use it.

Shangguanyi's hands trembled a little, and what happened next was likely to gamble her life's fate.But he can't help it, he is just a pawn among the rich and powerful.Chess pieces cannot control one's own destiny.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yu's flattery from Minister of Rites, Shangguanyi calmed down.Holding the wat board tightly with both hands, he stood up and said in a loud voice, "The officials in the censor's censor have a play!"

Changsun Wuji, who was about to stand up, immediately withdrew his feet.He glanced at Wei Zheng suspiciously, but saw that Wei Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, and then looked at Li Chengqian.

The hall was extremely quiet. Everyone looked at Li Chengqian immediately after seeing Shangguanyi leaving the shift.The officials of Li Chengqian's line looked at His Highness the Crown Prince's face.As long as His Royal Highness nodded, they would rush to bite like wild dogs.

Li Chengqian's expression was wonderful, shocked, astonished, horrified!The young Li Chengqian was completely stunned, with "buzz" and "buzz" in his head.Is Shangguanyi crazy?I didn't tell him to impeach Yunhao!Could it be that it was arranged by the teacher? After taking a look at Kong Yingda, he found that the old gentleman was also dumbfounded.

It wasn't arranged by the teacher, so what's going on?

Hou Junji groaned in his heart, because he saw that there were several young officials from the prince's line in Yushitai who were already eager to try.Hou Junji was well aware of Yunhao's position in the emperor's heart.Not to mention such a nonsense that has not been verified, even if it is true, the emperor will never do anything to Yunhao.

Although the official position will be temporarily confiscated and the title lowered, Hou Junji believes that Li Er will return the reward to Yunhao soon.

Li Er glanced at Wei Zheng, and immediately said: "Shangguanyi, here is the play."

"Cough!" Shangguanyi coughed lightly, trying to adjust her thoughts.

"The ministers, the officials and the officials worshiped the Yushitai to inspect the censor. Today, the governor of Chadeng Prefecture, Chu State Gong Yunhao, ignored human lives so that the villagers gathered to rebel. Hundreds of people were killed and injured. Please allow the Yushitai to capture this Thieves, let the laws of the Tang Dynasty be corrected." Shangguanyi did not mention those unreliable crimes, but only brought out the most important things.

Wei Zheng closed his eyes helplessly again, this is the crown prince who wanted to attack Yun Hao, it was definitely not Wei Zheng who wanted to do this.What I can do now is to pretend to be a wood carving and clay sculpture without saying a word, and the most important thing is to pick myself out.

"Didn't you tell those idiots?" Fang Xuanling glanced at the field suspiciously, and said softly to Wei Zheng.

"Who knows! A stunned young man who wants to be an official and wants to go crazy, he is gambling his future and even his life. What can I do!" Of course Wei Zheng will not pour out all the words in his stomach.Naturally, Fang Xuanling would not continue to ask, but just looked at Du Ruhui with a wry smile, pretending to be a sculpture like Wei Zheng.

Li Tai's heart was very happy, the more unsightly Li Chengqian's face was, the happier Li Tai was.However, as a talented young actor, Li Tai's face is full of sorrow.I don't know if this expression is for Yunhao or for Prince Li Chengqian.

Li Xiaogong looked at the field in astonishment, Yu Chigong clenched his fists.Cheng Yaojin stared, Qin Qiong's face sank like water.Hou Junji looked around with his treacherous eyes, and his heart grew colder and colder.This is the end, the prince offended almost all the generals.

Li Shentong squinted at Shangguanyi contemptuously, as if looking at a bug.When his eyes fell on Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian couldn't help shivering.

"Your Majesty! The minister has his duty!" Kong Yingda suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Er.

"You also want to impeach Yunhao?" Li Er looked at Kong Yingda and frowned. If Kong Yingda wanted to impeach Yunhao, it would mean that the prince's family would attack Yunhao in an all-round way.Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, are you a little too impatient.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, although I have some disagreements with the Duke of Chu, this time I am not impeaching Duke Chu!" Kong Yingda said with a bowed body.

"Oh, then you are...!" Li Er was a little confused, which song Li Chengqian was going to sing.

"I have also heard about the Dengzhou incident. It is true that Wu Laoshi's family died strangely, but he insisted that the Duke of Chu did it, but there was no evidence or physical evidence. It was just based on the speculation of the villagers. It seems a little inappropriate to treat a duke like this. I think that I should send important ministers to Shandong to thoroughly investigate the matter. When the truth comes out, it will not be too late for His Majesty to judge right from wrong."

What Kong Yingda said made sense and reason, those prince officials were about to jump out, but they all shrank back.Li Tai looked at all this with hatred, why did this old bastard jump out at the critical moment.If he came out a little later, the prince's officials would attack Yun Hao in groups.At that time, even if Li Chengqian wanted to stop, it would be impossible.Just a little bit, just a little bit!
Everyone in the court looked at Kong Yingda and Shangguanyi suspiciously. Both of them belonged to Prince Li Chengqian.But why does one want to impeach Yunhao, while the other wants to protect Yunhao.Your Royal Highness, which song is this going to sing?
"Cheng Gan, what do you think about the fact that you are the prince?" Li Er was also a little puzzled, and asked Li Chengqian's opinion suspiciously.

"Father, I think what the Taizu said makes sense. Guochao can't just fall into the air and offend a meritorious Duke just because of the speculation of the villagers. Yun Hao has followed the Taizu Emperor and his father since Jinyang. Emperor. For so many years, there has been hard work without credit. Besides, donating potatoes and corn, repairing railways and building ships. These are all things that cover the country, and the father should give justice to the Duke of Chu." Li Chengqian is not stupid, how could he not understand What does it mean that Kong Yingda jumped out at a time of crisis?

With his statement, the officials of the Crown Prince's department fully understood that this matter had nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.It's just Shangguanyi's personal behavior, a young junior who wants to be promoted and wants to go crazy.

The faces of the bosses eased a lot, looking at Shangguanyi was like looking at a dead person.Being stared at by these murderous demon kings, it is inevitable to be played to death, and it is a fluke not to die.Shangguanyi is really in a life-or-death dilemma right now, the moment Kong Yingda stood up, he completely sold him out.

"Father, what the eldest brother said is very reasonable. The Duke of Chu is the backbone of the country. How could he be punished easily because of the speculation of the foolish people in the countryside? Please think twice about this matter." Li Tai, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, also stood up. Come out and report to Li Erzuo respectfully.

"What you said makes sense. I haven't figured out the right and wrong. It is indeed not suitable to deal with Yunhao. After all these years, I still see his merits. The royal family will not be sorry for the meritorious officials. Pass the decree! Chu Chu Duke Yunhao returned to Beijing to report on his duties, who among you would like to visit Dengzhou to find out the truth of the matter?" Li Er glanced at these princes and ministers.

No one stands up, this is a hot potato.wrong!It's a hot bomb!If one is not done well, it will end in pieces.Not seeing Shangguanyi in the field, his legs were shaking like he was playing a pipa, and he almost couldn't stand up.

Li Er secretly sighed in his heart!The leisurely and affluent life in Chang'an made the greedy nobles richer and less aggressive.I am afraid that the scene where all the generals rush out when I give an order back then may never be seen again.Li Er even doubted whether these overgrown generals could still fight.

"My son recommends one person!" When Li Er was sighing, Li Tai stood up and said.

"Qing Que, who do you recommend?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Teacher Kong Yingda is honest and selfless. He has been an official for many years and his reputation and reputation are well-known. He will definitely not favor anyone and wrong him, or indulge anyone. My son thinks that he can take on this role." Li Tai immediately sent Kong Yingda to him. After going out, seeing Li Chengqian's instantly flushed face, he knew that this elder brother really wanted to kick him to death.

This is a bad thing, if Kong Yingda really found out that Yun Hao was punished.Half of the old generals will keep the prince at a respectful distance, if they can't find out the mastermind...!It is certain that Kong Yingda will stay in Dengzhou for a while. Without him to advise the prince, the prince Li Chengqian seems to have lost an arm.If the investigation continues for a long time, it also shows Kong Yingda's incompetence.No matter what, Kong Yingda's coquettish outfit is definitely on the table.

Kong Yingda is one head and two big, but now the matter is provoked by the prince's family, and if he wants to put out the fire, he can only go by himself.In desperation, he bravely stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! The old minister is willing to go!"

"Since King Wei has recommended you, Qing Kong is also willing to go. Let's do it this way! Wei Wangtai has been successful in studying and cultivating virtues in the past few years. Today, I see that he is well-organized in handling things. This is all taught by Cen Wenwen. , Pass the decree! Reward Cen Wenwen fifty bolts of silk and one hundred catties of copper. Wei Wangtai, take the title of governor of Jingzhou." Li Er looked at Li Tai and nodded his head.

"Thank you! Father!"

"Thank you! Your Majesty Ron!"

"Back to the court!" With Huangmen's singing, Li Er left the banquet and went to the harem.

Li Tai was as proud as a little rooster who had won a fight, and accepted the congratulations from the courtiers with a smile.Taking the opportunity to pull a few big shots, set the banquet for tonight.Those who didn't come yesterday don't care, they have to give themselves some face today.Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who do not easily attend other banquets, agreed to compose a poem with Cen Wenwen tonight.

Today Li Tai is undoubtedly the winner, Li Chengqian looked at his younger brother who was being praised.He gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but had no choice but to pretend to be an elder brother to congratulate.This taste is like eating a fly, and it is extremely uncomfortable to spit it out.

Shangguanyi stood blankly in the crowd, and wherever he went, people would automatically divert them.Avoiding him is like avoiding the plague. No one wants to talk to him.Even my usual friends can't avoid it at this time.Everyone was offended, and the family dog ​​suddenly became a stray dog.The future is gone, hope is gone, Shangguanyi feels that the world is spinning, his eyes go dark, and he doesn't know anything.

"Crack!" Li Chengqian, who had just returned to the Crown Prince's East Palace, picked up his teacup, thinking about what happened in the main hall today, he was so angry that he immediately threw the teacup heavily on the ground.Fragments of the fine porcelain tea bowls were scattered, and Kong Yingda, who was inside and outside the door, quickly covered his face with the sleeve of his robe.

"Prince, don't be angry. You are the crown prince, how can you show your heart. You are just a reckless Shangguanyi. Those veterans can tear him to pieces without us doing anything." Kong Yingda walked to Li Chengqian's head and sat down.Hou Junji, Du Zhenglun, Yu Zhining, Du He and others came in one after another behind him.

"Don't talk about tearing it into pieces, it's too late even if it's turned into ashes. The king of Wei will have a big banquet tonight. Look at the lineup, and the court meeting is enough. His majesty's rewards have made King Wei's contacts rise sharply. Even my father , and agreed to Cen Wenwen's banquet." Du He said angrily after sitting down.It was as if what he said was not his own father.

"Don't say such things. Your Majesty praised the King of Wei today. It is also the way for a minister to congratulate Du Xiang. They are all people who have been in the court for many years. Their experiences are beyond your imagination. Don't think that a meal of King Wei's wine, It will win their hearts." Kong Yingda looked at Du He helplessly, this kid doesn't have the slightest thought of his father.

A person like Du Ruhui was born in the family, and he was destined to occupy three generations.The future of the Du family... Hey!Hey!

"Teacher, are you really going to Dengzhou?"

"Your Majesty has decreed that it is impossible not to go. But rest assured, His Royal Highness, the old man has already made up his mind." Kong Yingda said firmly.

"Teacher, the plan will come out!"

"Shanren has his own clever plan, it's not worth mentioning!"
