The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 273 Pei Ji finally made a move

"Your Majesty, what King Wei said is very true. Since you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass. If the emperor only punishes but not rewards, it may be unfair." Cheng Yaojin said to Li Shimin.

"If King Wei can finish the project on time, I will allow King Wei to use Lishan Palace." Li Shimin announced.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were frightened.That is the emperor's palace, how could it be used by a prince.

Could it be that Li Shimin is already prepared to make Li Tai the crown prince?So everyone turned their attention to Li Tai.

"Father, I dare not live in your palace. Otherwise, I will take the position of real dragon, and my life will be damaged." Li Tai's head shook like a rattle.

Although Li Shimin's face did not leak joy, one could see a trace of joy and satisfaction in his eyes.

"Then I don't know, what are you going to do?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"If the minister finishes the work on time, I hope the emperor can give the minister the right." Li Tai said.

"Let's hear it, as long as it's not too much, I can agree." Li Shimin said.

"I hope that my father can give my son the right to delete the lowly status." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"That's fine, but I don't know why you want this right." Li Shimin asked puzzled.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were also four levels of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants. Businessmen were also not recognized by the society, and they were called untouchables, or the so-called lowly status.

"Father, my son's 33 Chongtian controls many shops. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, these people who manage the shops for my son are lowly. My son does not want their descendants to participate in the scientific examination." Li Tai Said to Li Shimin.

"This is not a problem, I can agree." Li Shimin agreed without hesitation.

"I thank my father, Emperor Long." Li Tai knelt down and thanked Li Shimin.

Everyone felt that this matter was completely over.But unexpectedly, Pei Ji stood up at this moment.

Pei Ji bowed to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that someone saw King Wei's mace in Tubo. I don't know if this is true, so I hope to confirm it to King Wei."

Pei Ji's words surprised the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.Because everyone knew in their hearts what would happen if they lost the mace bestowed by the emperor.

If it was as Pei Ji said, then Li Tai would be in serious trouble this time.According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if an official loses the official seal and soldier amulet, it is a crime of beheading.It would be even more unforgivable to lose the mace that the emperor wanted to bestow.

Although Li Tai is the king of Wei in the Tang Dynasty, after all, as the saying goes, the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty.So Li Shimin must give everyone an explanation.So Li Tai is really going to be unlucky.

"Li Tai, I wonder if what Pei Aiqing said is true?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai with a cold face.

"My lord prime minister, I don't know how you know that the king's imperial mace has arrived in the Tubo Kingdom. Is it possible that you have colluded with the Tubo Kingdom?" Li Tai didn't answer Li Shimin's question, but asked Pei Ji himself directly.

"Wei Wangxiu wants to spout blood. Wei Wang said that I have colluded with Tubo. I wonder if you can provide evidence." Pei Ji pointed at Li Tai and asked angrily.

"Then I don't know if the Prime Minister can show the evidence that the king lost the mace. Could it be that the Prime Minister can catch the wind and slander the king in front of the father just because of a groundless rumour." Li Tai asked rhetorically.

"Whether I'm catching the wind or not, it's actually easy to prove. As long as King Wei can show it, the mace bestowed by the emperor will prove that I, Pei Ji, have indeed framed King Wei. If King Wei can't show it, so be it." Pei Ji asked step by step.

"If I take out the Shangfang mace bestowed by my father, does it mean that the Prime Minister deceived the emperor and committed a crime. I wonder if the Prime Minister is willing to accept this crime." Li Tai Pei Ji asked.

While Li Tai was speaking, there was a twinkle in his eyes.As if worried about something, don't say that Pei Ji saw it.Even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty found that Li Tai was not calm.

This made Pei Ji more certain that Li Tai had no evidence at all.So he said confidently: "Since the ancient times, the body is not afraid of the shadow slanting. As long as the king of Wei can take out the imperial mace, I am willing to punish the crime with the emperor. But if the king of Wei can't take it out, how should we deal with it?"

"This king will give you another chance. Now I take back your words, and I don't have to pursue it. Otherwise, don't blame this king for not thinking of your meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty." Li Tai Peiji said.

The more Li Tai said this, the more civil and military officials in Manchao felt that Li Tai was guilty.Everyone already felt in their hearts that what Pei Ji said was true.

Even Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong and the others couldn't help but sweat for Li Tai.

"The king of Wei, please bring out the mace bestowed by the imperial court, so as to make peace with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty." Pei Ji saluted Li Tai.

"Since this is the case, you can't blame this king. Father, can you invite my minister's guards to go to the palace. My minister can arrange for him to return to the mansion and take back the mace given by the emperor." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

Seeing Li Shimin nodding his head, the personal eunuch announced loudly: "King Xuanwei's guards are here to see you."

Not long after, Li Tianming came to the Jinluan Hall, and first met Li Shiminguo with a gift from his minister.He said to Li Tai, "King Wei, I don't know what you have to say."

"You immediately go back to the Wei Palace and ask Luo Song to bring back the mace bestowed by the king. And order Luo Song and Huanan to bring those people to the Jinluan Hall as well."

"At the same time, I ordered Wei Wang's imperial army to surround Pei Ji's prime minister's mansion. Remember that no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization." Li Tai said to Li Tianming.

After Li Tianming said to Li Tainuo, he turned and left the Golden Luan Hall.At this moment, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were a little confused.

Because the Li Tai at this time is completely different from just now.Now there is no trace of worry on Li Tai's face.Instead, it gives people a sense of victory.

"Wei Wang, don't go too far. This king told the emperor that you lost the mace, not a trace of personal grievances. But now you send troops to besiege my mansion, what is the meaning of this?" Pei Ji said to Li tremblingly. said Ty.

Everyone felt that Pei Ji was trembling with anger.But only he knew in his heart that there was an ominous premonition in his heart at this time.So I couldn't help but tremble all over.

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly from the beginning to the end, and didn't say a word.He was waiting for the result, until a result that no one expected.

After a while, officials from the Huangmen came to report.It is said that Luo Song is waiting outside the hall.Accompanying him were Luo Huan Huanan and five or six people in strong clothes.

"Announce them to come in." Li Shimin said simply.

Soon everyone entered the Golden Luan Hall, and first bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Li Shimin.Then he said to Li Tai: "Wei Wang, according to your arrangement, everything has been done."

Li Tai nodded, then turned to Pei Ji and said, "This is the end, are you still as confident as before?"
