Chapter 1611
Chapter 1611
Li Zhi is not Zhu Yuanzhang, he does not have such a good physique as Zhu Yuanzhang, he is still so healthy at the age of 70 or [-], and he handles complicated government affairs every day.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, since I wake up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs every day, how can you courtiers be so comfortable.

At least we have to have fun with the emperor and ministers, so the ministers of the Ming Dynasty got up early and went to the court before dawn, even breakfast was settled on the sedan chair.

But Li Zhi is different. He is a benevolent monarch with a weaker personality, and he is not as hostile to officials as Zhu Yuanzhang. So according to his words, since I didn't get up, then you don't get up at all.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty is not as good as the early Tang Dynasty. The country is strong, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the external hostile forces have long been wiped out by Chen Qiao. Today's early dynasties can actually be slightly less frequent.

Anyway, if it weren't for the dethroning of Li You's status as King of Chu, Chen Qiao wouldn't have planned to come today. How could his wife and children feel comfortable coming here in the early morning?

Chen Qiao took the lead, followed by several princes.

He is kind to the princes, and Chen Qiao is the brother-in-law of the current emperor, so he is much closer than them, so they have nothing to say about Chen Qiao in front.

In the face of strength, it is unreasonable to talk about seniority.

……

As soon as he entered the court hall, all the ministers waited for a while before Li Zhicai came from the harem.

When Li Zhi sat on the dragon chair solemnly, all the officials below knelt down to pay respects.

"Be flat!"

With a wave of Li Zhi's hand, the ministers got up.

Seeing the most powerful person in the world knelt down in front of him, no one would feel pride in his heart. This is why so many people have been fighting for the throne since ancient times, just for the word of power.

"Please play if you have anything to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

Li Zhi looked at the officials below with a little expectation in his heart.

Today's topic is the court meeting about deposing Li Youchu as king. He is waiting for someone to be the first to point out this matter.

By the way, he nodded to Li Ke at the bottom left, and the latter waved his sleeves in response. If no one raises it later, then Li Ke will point it out.

Of course, it would be better if Chen Qiao pointed it out.

It's just that Chen Qiao has military affairs and is busy with expeditions recently, so it's really not easy to participate, so the matter is naturally pushed to Li Ke.

The other princes can also exert pressure, anyway, as long as it is not proposed by the emperor.

If Li Zhi took the initiative, no matter what Li You did, Li Zhi would inevitably end up with the title of a mean king.

It is also unreasonable in terms of reason to deprive the status of brothers after death. It is unreasonable to insist on going one's own way, which will inevitably make people chill.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please play!"

The servant of the Ministry of Finance stepped forward, cupped his hands and said to the superior:

"Flood in Jiangxi Province..."

"I have something to do, please play..."

Afterwards, officials continued to come out and put forward the government affairs accumulated these days directly at the court meeting. Anyway, no one talked about Li You.

Li Zhi was not in a hurry, the court meeting was still far away, he didn't believe that these old guys didn't hear the rumors outside this morning.

Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, Li Zhi winked at Li Ke, who also stepped out of the honorable queue, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"speak!"

Li Zhi moved his butt slightly, and straightened his sitting posture.

Chen Qiao also woke up slightly from his doze.

"The minister proposes to remove Li You from the position of king of Chu!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire court became quiet, and the officials who were chattering and arguing just now also held their breath and stopped making a sound.

Some old ministers' eyes widened even more, with an inconceivable expression.

"Oh?" Li Zhi pretended to be surprised, opened his eyes slightly, and asked:
"Why is this?"

Li Ke said quite well:
"Li You disregarded the blood relatives of the same clan, poisoned the elder sister, persecuted the younger siblings, and provoked the relationship between brothers and close relatives. It is really the anger of humans and gods. He is not worthy of virtue. He is not worthy of being the king of Li, Tang and Chu. Your Majesty please agree!"

Li Ke also showed indignation on his face at the right time.

The expression of true emotions is the most impeccable, and the expression on Li Ke's face at this time is actually not fake.

Li Zhi at the top looked a little ugly, but he still said:
"Brother, don't be in a hurry, Xuanchu King Li You will go to court and see you!"

At this time, Chen Qiao stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, King Chu died suddenly last night!"

Li Zhi was startled suddenly, and said with a heavy grief on his face:
"Why did the emperor leave me..."

The ministers said one after another:
"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body, don't be too sad!"

Chen Qiao on the side sighed secretly, the acting skills are really good.

After the grief is over, the court meeting still has to go on, and the big things are not as important as the court meeting.

"About this matter, we will discuss it later!"

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

Li Ke still wanted to persuade him again.

"emperor!"

At this moment, the Minister of Rites who had been standing silently stood up.

As an old man left behind from the Taizong period, his thinking is a bit old-fashioned.

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with this matter. I think this is a big matter, and we should wait until King Chu is buried before discussing it."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had creases all over his old face, but his expression was extremely solemn, and his words were extremely certain.

Chen Qiao could see that he was not someone who was close to Li You, but he was a bit too rigid.

For this, Li Zhi couldn't help but cry. The traitor was not caught, but a loyal minister was attracted. It's just that the Minister of Rites is too old, and his thinking is inevitably aging.

"I don't think it's right!"

At this time, Li Tai also came out to express his point of view.

"I believe that Li You has damaged the face of the clan and should be relegated to the common people, so it is difficult for him to bear the generous funeral ceremony of the king of Chu!"

Chen Qiao secretly thought that the time had come, so he also stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Wei Chen agrees!"

With the appearance of Li Tai and Chen Qiao, most of the officials followed suit:
"Wei Chen agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

Looking at the situation is very good, but Li Zhi knew it was not the right time.

At least a few days later, there is still plenty of time anyway.

Most of the officials stood up and agreed to this proposal, which shows how bad Li You's reputation is in the officialdom, although there are also influences from the two princes and Chen Qiao.

But there are also many things that are secretly acquiesced.

The grief on Li Zhi's face has not yet dissipated, he shook his sleeves and said:
"We'll discuss this matter later, if there are no other matters, then retreat!"

"I will obey your orders!"

All the officials, except for those old-fashioned officials such as the Minister of Rites, the other people who stood up relaxed. Li Zhi did not object, so it means that he acquiesced.

Even if this proposal was passed, as for discussing it later, it would only be a few days more.
