Datang: Activate the combat merit system at the beginning

"I want to impeach Su Lie and Wei Hao!"

Liu Ji continued.

Li Er frowned slightly, and stared at Liu Ji suspiciously.

Other ministers, including Wei Hao and Su Lie also showed puzzled eyes.

"Your Majesty! Su Lie and Wei Hao rioted in Guihuafang, causing bloodshed, and even ordinary people were affected by the conflict."

Liu Ji said neither humble nor overbearing.

"I believe that Su Lie and Wei Hao killed and killed people wantonly and caused unnecessary casualties. They should be deprived of their military posts and exiled to other states."

"My minister agrees!"

Cen Wenwen came out and bowed his hands.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Several ministers echoed.

Li Er frowned.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I and General Su did not harm innocent people!"

Wei Hao bowed to Li Er, then glanced at Liu Ji, and retorted.

"When Chen and General Su were arresting the person behind the assassination of His Majesty, they were attacked by mobs, and they had no choice but to fight back.

As for the innocent people injured, it was purely caused by the rioters and has nothing to do with us! "

"You are sophistry!"

Liu Ji said disapprovingly.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Su Lie and Wei Hao injured two little county kings in Guihuafang."

Cen text interjected.

Li Er was silent while the other ministers whispered to each other.

Su Lie looked heavy.

Wei Hao was calm and composed.

"More than that, Su Lie and Wei Hao used extreme methods to interrogate a man named Gong Gou, resulting in his death." Cen Wenwen continued.

Gong Gou is dead?

Impossible, I just kicked a certain part of the palace dog, it won't kill anyone.

Gonggou is domineering and domineering in the underground world, so he has many enemies.

Perhaps someone secretly killed Gonggou while he was unable to move.

If Gonggou really died because of this, it could be considered to have something to do with him.

With doubts, Wei Hao thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, please punish Su Lie and Wei Hao severely!"

Cen Wenwen bowed to Li Er again.

"My minister seconded the proposal!" Liu Ji echoed.

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Several ministers followed suit.

When Li Er was thinking about how to respond, Wei Hao said:
"May I ask why the two little county kings who were injured after the curfew appeared in Guihuafang?"

"This……"

Cen Wenwen was at a loss for words.

"Let me tell you, they watch other people fight in the underground arena, not only that, they also pay the two sides of the fight to kill each other!"

Wei Hao followed up.

"If you want witnesses, everyone who was present that night can prove it!"

Cen Wenwen and Liu Ji's expressions changed.

"If I was punished for preventing them from killing, and the two little county kings violated the curfew and went out privately at night to watch the murderous group arena in Guihuafang, how should they be punished?"

Wei Hao glanced at Cen Wenwen and Liu Ji coldly, his words and speed were very appropriate.

The expressions of Cen Wenwen and Liu Ji became ugly, and they couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Wei Hao had a pretty good impression of Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji and others before, but he never thought that they would use such things to make things difficult for him and Su Lie.

Logically speaking, I and Su Lie had no enmity with Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji and other ministers, so why did they impeach them for this matter?
"Your Majesty, as for Gonggou's death, I ask Your Majesty to order an investigation to find out the cause of Gonggou's death."

Wei Hao didn't think about it, and turned to Li Erdao.

"When the minister and General Su left, Gong Gou was not dead.

The minister suspects that there is something else hidden about Gonggou's death. "

Li Er was lost in thought.

"Your Majesty! I have something to announce!"

At this time, Wei Zheng came out to play.

Li Er nodded slightly, signaling him to speak quickly.

But I was thinking in my heart, Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, can you save me some time, why are you here to join in the fun at this time.

Li Er thought in his heart that Wei Zheng must stand on the same front as Cen Wenwen, Liu Ji and other ministers to impeach Wei Hao and Su Lie.

"Your Majesty, from what I have seen, General Su and General Wei did nothing wrong!"

Wei Zheng said calmly.

"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!
The man named Gonggou knew that Ye Pia was suspected, but he didn't report it to the court immediately. He was guilty of covering up the traitor.

He also asked his subordinates to kill General Su and General Wei, and even paid money to let those desperadoes kill General Su and General Wei.

This kind of person should be executed according to the law! "

Li Er looked at Wei Zheng with surprised eyes.

Strange, why did Wei Zheng speak for Su Lie and Wei Hao this time?

Su Lie and Wei Hao looked at each other with doubts in their eyes. They also wondered why Wei Zheng would speak for them.

"As for Generals Su and General Wei who inadvertently injured innocent people, there was a reason for that.

It is understandable that they had to take some drastic measures in order to find out the instigator behind the attempt to assassinate His Majesty in a hurry. "

Wei Zheng continued with an unusually serious expression.

"I have always believed that Guihuafang has gathered too many desperadoes and homeless people from all over the world, which poses a security risk to the long-term stability of Chang'an City."

"I suggest that His Majesty take advantage of this incident to clean up the so-called underground world hidden in Guihuafang, so as not to bring unnecessary safety hazards to Chang'an City!"

Although Wei Zheng disagreed with Li Er from time to time, sometimes he could not understand what Li Er or other ministers were doing and made admonitions, but he would still choose to stand on the right side in some matters involving the interests of the Tang Dynasty.

As he said, he has long disliked the so-called underground world that exists in Guihuafang, and has been looking for a chance for Li Er to eradicate it.

He knew that the so-called underground world of Guihuafang was related to the interests of certain forces, so he couldn't find a chance to deal with it.

Now Yepia's assassination of Li Er just gave Wei Zheng the opportunity to remonstrate, hoping that Li Er would accept his advice and want the so-called underground world in Guihuafang to disappear.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guogong's words are very true, and I agree with you!"

Changsun Wuji came out and bowed to Li Er.

"My minister agrees!"

Li Ji also agreed with Wei Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, many ministers seconded the proposal.

"Your Majesty, although Su Lie and Wei Hao happened for a reason, after all, the two of them hurt the innocent, brought harm to the people of Guihuafang, and caused a great impact. There are many complaints from the nearby people."

Liu Ji rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and played to Li Erqi again.

"As for the so-called underground world in Guihuafang, as far as I know, that place only provides residences for many people who entered the Tang Dynasty from foreign countries, and it will not pose a security risk to the court."

"The living customs of people from other countries are very different from those of our Central Plains people, so some of their actions seem out of place to us, and we cannot suspect that they will endanger Datang."

"The Great Tang is a kingdom of the heavens, and when all nations come to the dynasty, we should open our minds and accept all those who come to the Great Tang from foreign countries.

As the saying goes, tolerance is great! "

"Seconded!"

The ministers who supported him agreed one after another.

Next, the ministers were divided into three factions.

One faction supports Liu Ji and Cen Wenwen.

One faction supported Wei Zheng.

One faction remained neutral.

The two factions with opposite opinions were arguing endlessly. Li Erwei announced his withdrawal from the court and decided to discuss it another day.
