Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 73: Li Shimin's response

Li Shimin was silent for a while, not knowing whether he was thinking about Cui Yongquan's proposal or controlling his smile, so as not to laugh out loud as soon as he opened his mouth, which would affect the emperor's majesty. Come to think of it, the probability of the latter is still slightly greater.

For a moment, Li Shimin said, "The King of Chu was the one I grew up watching. How could it be harmful to my thoughts? Xu Jingchen's visit to the Palace of the Chu King at the beginning was also my instruction. Cui Qing's family was too worried."

Cui Yongquan heard Li Shimin's intention to protect Li Xin, and immediately became anxious, saying: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be perfunctory! It is a taboo for the imperial physician in the palace to communicate with foreign ministers. Moreover, Xu Jingchen still worships. Li Xin is a teacher! To say something disrespectful, what ability does King Chu have to teach others?"

Indeed, this is quite disrespectful. If Li Xin hears it, you have to scrape this guy with big ears—you know I don’t have the ability to teach people anymore? How do you know everything? Are you awesome too?

Cui Yongquan added: "The king of Chu is only seventeen years old, and Xu Jingchen is twenty-eight years old this year. Where in the world is there a reason why the elders would go to the young to apprentice? How strange is this? There must be an ulterior conspiracy behind it. , Your Majesty must thoroughly investigate, lest it cause disaster!"

He already understood what he meant, so he almost pointed to Li Shimin's nose and said, "If you don't check this, you are a fool."

Among the officials of Yushitai, many people stepped forward and said: "The minister agrees! Check this out with your Majesty!"

Li Shimin couldn't help sneering in his heart as he looked at the civilian officials standing together.

It is indeed a taboo thing that the imperial physician of the palace and foreign ministers communicated secretly, and making trouble is a serious crime of treason. However, Li Shimin never believes that so many Yushitai officials at the scene do not understand the simplest truth-if Li Xin really wants to rebel and want to secretly befriend the imperial physician in order to make a mistake, he will never be stupid. To the extent that the whole world knows about this, right?

So many people present knew that Xu Jingchen was now a disciple of Chu Wang Li Xin, which in itself showed that this matter was not so shameless. Li Xin and Xu Jingchen didn't mean to conceal others at all.

What's more, making friends with the imperial physician or servant in the palace, with the intent to be detrimental to the emperor, and then to rebel, this kind of difficult thing is not something that anyone can do. At least Li Xin obviously didn't have this condition-he was just an empty-shelled King of Chu, who had no real power without real power.

Not to mention whether there is a chance to poison the emperor just by making friends with Xu Jingchen—according to the strict drug testing system in the palace, this is basically a fantasy—even if Li Xinzhen is such a lucky star, Xu Jingchen alone will be absolutely extinct. Kill Li Shimin, what about after that? Who will help him up? Who will support him? Is it because he is King of Chu, he can raise his arms and make countless ministers kneel at his feet?

Politics is not such a superficial thing.

You know, Li Shimin long ago appointed his eldest son Li Chengqian as the prince. Even if he died unexpectedly, old officials like Chen Yin would help Li Chengqian ascend to the throne. Who would care about him, a little king of Chu?

Therefore, Li Xin has no ability or motivation to plot against Li Shimin. This is a very obvious fact. But this fact was obviously ignored by these officials.

Li Shimin glanced at the official who stood up. As he had predicted before, the vast majority of them came from the Boling Cui clan and the Taiyuan Wang clan, and even if they were not, they were closely related to these two families. Obviously, this is an organized and premeditated large-scale impeachment. It is the two big families who are working together to wrestle with Li Shimin, who is more powerful than anyone else. The close relationship between Li Xin and Xu Jingchen was nothing more than an excuse to attack.

Five surnames and seven hopes are the most powerful celebrities in the world, even enough to threaten the emperor's power. Li Shimin didn't want to eradicate these social instability all the time, and they didn't want to turn the imperial power into their playthings all the time. The confrontation between the two parties will be played out in this court. As of today, countless cannon fodder has died on this battlefield without gunsmoke.

Li Xin's position is very special. Everyone knows his special meaning to Li Shimin. He is the person Li Shimin must protect. If Li Shimin was subdued today and ordered a thorough investigation of Li Xin’s relationship with Xu Jingchen, then this would give a signal to the ministers above the court that the emperor could not withstand the pressure of the five surnames and seven hopes, and could not keep those who wanted to protect. This was a very fatal blow to the majesty of the imperial power.

Of course, Li Shimin can choose to ignore these censors who stand up and force Li Xin to be shielded. This is of course very effective, but at the same time it will leave these pen-playing people with very annoying things, such as self-use, petting villains and the like.

Five surname and Qiwang are very prestigious among scholars. At that time, they only need to use the topic to make a few articles to confuse people, and Li Shimin's image of Mingjun will be all over. I am afraid that he will not fall into a relationship with tyrants like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou. .

As an emperor, Li Shimin certainly cannot hope to show mercy to his opponents. He had already obtained the magic weapon of victory in his hand.

Cui family, Wang family? Today, I want you all to be disgraced!

Li Shimin said: "Where do all the Qings come from? Xu Jingchen admires Li Xin as a teacher, maybe there is a reason?"

Cui Yongquan replied without hesitation: "Weichen has already said that King Chu has no place to teach others. Can your majesty show evidence? If your majesty can prove that King Chu is indeed qualified to be Xu Jingchen's teacher , Then the minister is willing to apologize to King Chu."

"The officials are willing to apologize to King Chu!" The other Yushitai officials who stood up also said.

Cheng Yaojin didn't know when he was no longer leaning on that pillar. He stood blankly, his eyes scanned from time to time over these Yushitai officials, and he was very upset. He already realized that these censors did not come out and fart casually today, maybe Li Xin would really be involved. Just as he was hesitant to come out and say something, he subconsciously glanced at the front row of Chen Yin.

Chen Yin happened to be watching Cheng Yaojin too. He gave a calm look and motioned Cheng Yaojin to watch the play with peace of mind.

Although Cheng Yaojin looked down on sour and rotten literati, he still trusted an old fox like Chen Yin. After receiving Chen Yin's look, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and decisively returned to the state of dozing off. He only smiled and said something that seemed to be a dream, "This group of nasty critics is going to suffer."

Sure enough, Li Shimin sighed for a long time, waved his hand to the waiter next to him, and said, "Then I can only listen to King Chu's defense for himself."

The servant took out a piece of silk paper and said in a long and clear tone: "The teacher said..."
