The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 16 I'm a Child and I'm Cute

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Yuan looked at the hearts of the people below, and he already knew the general situation.It is estimated that Cheng Yaojin is deceiving someone again, and the person who was deceived is definitely Wang Yushi who is standing next to him.

At this time, civil and military officials also came to the Jinluan Hall one after another, and Prince Li Shimin was no exception.When he saw Li Tai standing in the Golden Luan Hall with an aggrieved expression on his face.A hint of anger was evident on his face.

"Father, I don't know who sounded the Chaotian Drum. Where is another war, my son is willing to lead the army to fight again." Although Li Shimin already felt that the sound of the Chaotian Drum this time was not due to the invasion of foreign enemies.And it is very likely to be related to his son, but he still said so.

A group of civil servants and military generals of Tiance Mansion also came out to report to Li Yuan at the same time: "I am willing to follow His Royal Highness on the saddle, and I will not hesitate to wrap my body in horse leather."

"Forget it, forget it, there is no battle today. The person who rang the Chaotian Drum was none other than the son of Your Highness the Crown Prince, King Wei Li Tai. As for why he rang the Chaotian Drum, I am not quite sure yet." Li Yuanyi waved his hand and said to everyone.

"Father, you said that it was Li Tai who rang the Chaotian Drum. How is this possible? How did he know of the existence of the Chaotian Drum? What is the purpose of ringing it?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"His Royal Highness, what happened is like this..." So Cheng Yaojin added his branches and leaves, and described the process of Li Tai beating the drum to the sky to everyone.It also specifically stated that Li Tai was bewitched by Wang Yushi before he rang the Drum.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Wang Yushi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Lu Guogong's nonsense. I'm just joking. Besides, I was the first to propose to beat the Chaotian drum." It's not a minister, but the Duke of Lu."

"It seems that you all hold your own opinions. If that's the case, then I'll ask the person concerned. What's the matter with Qingque, tell Grandpa Huang." Li Yuan said softly to Li Tai.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't know that the Chaotian Drum can't be knocked casually. Wang Yushi told his grandson that the Chaotian Drum is the same as the grievance drum in the yamen. As long as you knock it, you can see Grandpa Huang. The grandson was wronged in Xishi. I wanted to see Grandpa Huang to complain, so I knocked." Li Tai said to Li Yuan with a cute expression.

This time Wang Yushi would not be calm, if Li Yuan believed Li Tai's words.Then my own responsibility will be great.So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, at that time, the minister was run over by the Duke of Lu and lost his position with words. That's why I said that. It was an angry remark, but I didn't expect it to be a big mistake. It's okay, Your Majesty. crime."

This Wang Yushi is also a smart person, knowing that his denial is absolutely useless.In this case, it is better to retreat.Let Li Yuan feel that there is a reason for saying that.

"I have roughly understood what happened, so I will not question the crime today. However, Li Tai's private sounding of the Drum to the Sky, if he does not punish him, it will be difficult to appease the public. I don't know how everyone thinks that King Wei should be punished. .” Li Yuan said to the crowd.

"Your Majesty, although it is a capital offense to strike the Chaotian Drum for no reason. But King Wei is only six years old, and he doesn't know the importance of the Chaotian Drum. That's why I did this, I think it's enough to punish King Wei by confinement for two months." Hejian Wang Li Xiaogong said.

"The king of Hejian is right, so let the crown prince take Li Tai back and confine him to the Tiance Mansion for two months, and he is not allowed to leave the Tiance Mansion without permission." Li Yuan finally said.

"Grandpa Huang, let my grandson confine my grandson to the Tiance Mansion, and my grandson is convinced. It's just that my grandson has something to tell my grandpa. That's why my grandson beat the drum to the heavens." Li Tai knelt on the Golden Luan Hall Said to Li Yuan.

"By the way, Qing Que didn't say anything, but I forgot. Just now you said that you were humiliated in the West Market, so what happened. Hurry up and tell Grandpa Huang, whoever bullied my grandson, Grandpa Huang will decide for you " Li Yuan said dotingly to Li Tai.

Therefore, Li Tai took himself, Luo Tong and others to play in the West Market, and was robbed of his silver by Wang Er.I said it in detail, although Li Tai didn't add anything.But it was enough to make Li Yuan feel angry.

Just after Li Tai finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin said again: "Your Majesty, you don't know, if it wasn't for my old Cheng, I would have just passed through the street on a patrol. King Wei probably would have been buried in the hands of the guards of Yushifu. My old Cheng was afraid that he, Wang Yushi, would make sophistry, so I specially brought a few witnesses. If you don’t believe me, the emperor can ask you personally to see if I am lying, old Cheng.”

"I didn't expect a steward of Yushi's mansion to be so arrogant. Let his younger brother bully and dominate the city for many years, and no one dared to take care of him. If it is not Li Tai who meets today, someone will be wronged." Li Yuan was angry. Said loudly.

"Your Majesty, it is because I have not strictly disciplined my subordinates that this kind of mistake occurred. I have already taken the two of them outside the Golden Luan Hall and asked the Emperor to punish me." Wang Yushi's mind was really flexible, but at this critical moment, he changed his mind. He became an upright official who killed relatives righteously.

But Wang Tan and Wang Er outside the Golden Luan Hall didn't know that they had become abandoned children.He also had an arrogant expression on his face, thinking that after waiting for his master, he would vent his anger on himself.Let those brats apologize to themselves.

So when they heard the emperor summoned them, they walked into the Golden Luan Hall excitedly.Before they knelt down and saluted, a guard came over, pressed the two of them to the ground, and tied them directly to the rope.

This time Wang Tan and Wang Er were terrified, they never thought that things would turn out like this.So with a look of anticipation, he looked at his master Wang Yushi, hoping that he could intercede for him.But when they saw Wang Yushi's cold face, they were completely disappointed.

"You two bold slaves have bullied the market for many years in the name of the Yushi Mansion outside. If it hadn't been for the crime in the hands of King Wei today, I would have been kept in the dark by you." Wang Yushi looked sad and said to Wang Tan and the two scolded angrily.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson told my brothers that he wants to pay us 1000 taels of silver. It will be used as compensation for the mental damage of our brothers. So I ask Grandpa Huang to make the decision and ask them to pay the silver to my grandson." Li Tai made an expression that only cared about Yin Zi and said.

"You love money so much at such a young age, but the compensation must be well-founded, Wang Yushi, you can just figure it out. As for these two dog slaves, they will be sent to the execution ground immediately for questioning and beheading." Li Yuan turned and left after speaking. The Golden Temple.
