Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 223 Wei Zheng is drawn!
A grand celebration banquet was attended by all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The moment Li Shimin toasted, the officials responded.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

After bursts of shouts, Wei Zheng drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and thanked the emperor for his kindness.

The ministers all got up and came over, and the polite words from the officialdom continued one after another.

"Master Wei pacified the land of Sichuan, I offer you a toast!" said the Minister of Rites.

"Your Majesty Wei is very powerful. With Master Wei at the court, it must be clear."

Hou Junji also praised him again and again, who didn't know that Wei Zheng was famously loyal and upright, and he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.

If there is any injustice in the court, he will be the first to refuse.

"My lords are overrated." Wei Zheng laughed along with him.

I don't think he is a person who can beat around the bush, but he drank the wine toasted to everyone without leaving a drop in his stomach.

Not far away, Li Yin was playing with the green jade cup in his hand, with deep eyes.

It fell directly on Wei Zheng. This Cambodian minister who moved the government and the public was indeed not a false rumor, but it could be seen from some of his subtleties.

Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, the Tang Dynasty is truly lucky to have you.

Li Yin secretly said in admiration in his heart.

Suddenly, Li Yin's expression paused, and his eyes met Wei Zheng's.

I don't know when Wei Zheng looked towards him, his eyes were suspicious, as if he was thinking about something.

"Master Wei has gone out this time, it's been hard work."

Li Yin raised his glass and made a toast to Wei Zheng.

"It's all about sharing the worries of the emperor. It's hard to talk about it. His Royal Highness King Liang has broken the old minister."

only……

As Wei Zheng said, the look of doubt in his eyes was even stronger than just now, and he also recognized all the ministers of civil and military affairs who came to the banquet in a short while.

There are also many royal family members and nobles, but there is only one important person missing.

"Your Majesty, I have doubts, and I don't know whether to say it or not!" Wei Zheng finally spoke in a thick voice.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin's eyes tightened, he looked straight at Wei Zheng, and said badly in his heart.

"Wei Aiqing, today is the day to celebrate your success, let's talk about the doubts in my heart until tomorrow."

Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he didn't want to say anything more on this issue, but he underestimated Wei Zheng's straightforward nature.

Li Yin has already reacted, and he has guessed a lot about what Wei Zheng is going to say in his heart.

Can't help squinting his eyes and looking more carefully, a character like Wei Zheng would rather bend than bend, to put it bluntly, he is a muscle.

Before he could think any further, Wei Zheng spoke up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister must say something!"

"I went to Sichuan to quell the chaos, and now the class teacher is returning to the court, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of a country not here!"

Wouldn't it be unseemly?
Wei Zheng's eyes were so bright that it made everyone fall silent, with big eyes staring into small eyes.

Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Wei Zheng, furious for a moment.

"Wei Aiqing, today is a celebration for you, maybe people from all over the world will come!"

"People in the world don't need to come, but His Royal Highness must come!"

Wei Zheng was neither humble nor overbearing, and directly called out the officials of the Ministry of Rites to question.

"In such a scene, His Royal Highness King Liang is here. Isn't it proper for the crown prince to come?"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites didn't know how to answer for a while, so they could only look at Li Shimin.

snort!
"Wei Zheng, eat your food, take care of what you should, and don't take care of what you shouldn't!"

Li Shimin lost his patience. Although Wei Zheng was famous for his integrity, he couldn't offend his majesty like this.

"Your Majesty's words are to verify the conjecture in my heart."

"The prince's absence is against the rules. Your Majesty is like this. I think there have been many changes in the court during my absence in Chang'an!"

Wei Zheng knew very well in his heart what it meant for Li Chengqian not to appear in such an important scene.

One sentence puts the problem on the bright side, but there is no civil and military man in the Manchu Dynasty who dares to stand up to Wei Zheng.

Li Shimin was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to Wei Zheng. If he dealt with such a loyal and upright courtier, he would definitely leave a bad name in future generations.

Li Yin shook his head secretly, Wei Zheng had punctured this layer of window paper after all, he was also an old man in the officialdom, how could he not be aware of the strangeness of the court today.

Perhaps speaking out of holy anger, there is only Wei Zheng alone in the whole world.

"Okay, okay, what are you shouting about!"

Cheng Yaojin stretched out his big belly and swayed over.

He stood in front of Wei Zheng.

"Fatty Cheng, get out of the way quickly." Wei Zheng didn't have the heart to talk to Cheng Yaojin.

But Cheng Yaojin was drunk, and used the alcohol to push Wei Zheng up.

"Why don't you let it go?"

"Most of them are old brothers from Wagang, you are shouting here, who are you!"

Cheng Yaojin reeked of alcohol, and couldn't stop when he opened his mouth.

"I just want to know why the prince didn't come, let me tell you!"

"The prince is imprisoned now, he can think about his life, how can he have time to clean up Mr. Wei!"

call……

Finished!

Li Yin's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Cheng Yaojin had caused a catastrophe, as expected, the originally peaceful celebration banquet suddenly fell silent.

Li Shimin's face was so ugly that he looked straight at Wei Zheng, and listened to what Wei Zheng said.

"Your Majesty, what Fatty Cheng said is true?"

His face turned cold, and regardless of the occasion, he straightened his clothes and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Oh, you old bastard, why are you looking for trouble on such a happy day!" Cheng Yao's gin has not passed.

But it made Li Shimin feel disgusted.

"Take Lu Guogong down, don't come out to shame yourself when you're drunk!"

Li Shimin's tone was cold, and after hearing what Cheng Yaojin said, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Who doesn't know that Wei Zheng is powerful in the court, he is not afraid of life and death, and dares to speak the truth.

There would be no exception when the emperor made a mistake. Now that the prince was imprisoned, if Wei Zheng knew the secret, he would not be able to depose the prince on the spot.

"Wei Aiqing, sit down first, this is a long story."

Li Shimin sighed, he just wanted to stabilize Wei Zheng first, and tell him about it when he finds a suitable opportunity in the future.

Otherwise, today's matter would not end well. If Wei Zheng really proposed to depose the prince in public, it would really put him in a dilemma.

"Master Wei, think twice!"

People with discerning eyes saw that something was wrong and hurried to dissuade them.

But if he could turn a blind eye and close one eye, then he wouldn't be Wei Zheng.

After regaining his energy, Wei Zheng's aura suddenly changed, and even Li Yin would look at him with admiration.

"Your Majesty, if you look forward and backward, and shrink back, then it's not me, Wei Zheng."

"Your Majesty, please also tell the old minister what happened."

you!
Li Shimin was very angry and kept muttering in his heart.

He thought to himself how could Wei Zheng be so ignorant that he insisted on questioning himself in front of all these civil and military personnel.
