Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 81 A series of letters
Chapter 107 A series of letters
"... "

When Li Tai's voice fell, the court fell into dead silence in an instant.

Everyone's eyes widened, with astonished expressions on their faces.

Li Chengqian...is it the King of Guizhou Li Chengqian who is causing trouble?
To be honest, those who supported King Wei felt a little regretful.

Everyone knows that Li Chengqian is in the limelight now, so many conspiracies and tricks against him, not only did not bring him down, but brought him back to life, from the assigned Duke of Qian to the current powerful prince.

What's more, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Shimin is not satisfied with Li Chengqian now. If it wasn't because of the big mistakes he made, Li Shimin would have recalled Li Chengqian to Chang'an long ago and re-established him as the prince.

Originally, they didn't want to fight against him, but they didn't expect...Li Tai would bring it up at this time.

If we had known that the person Li Tai was talking about was Li Chengqian, they must have pretended to be deaf and dumb, and nothing happened.

But now that they have stood up, they must bear the blessings and disasters.

At the same time, several people couldn't help but glanced at Li Tai resentfully, as if to say, "Your Highness, why didn't you say it earlier, isn't this a cheating brother?"

Li Tai is Li Chengqian's younger brother, and he came forward to sue, no matter how fierce the disturbance was, it could be said to be a fight between brothers in the end.

But these foreign ministers are different. If they falsely accuse the prince, the final outcome will definitely not be very good.

However, when they saw the confident smile on Li Tai's face, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Tai couldn't be a mediocre person if he could achieve what he is today. If he wasn't absolutely sure, he would definitely not do this.

But when Li Shimin heard this name, his brows were slightly frowned.

Chengqian...how could it be him?
Li Chengqian did so many things before, but Li Shimin didn't award him a reward, and he felt a little bit sorry. Now that he heard Li Tai say that, he naturally didn't want to pay attention.

But if he said the words "never forgive lightly" in front of the officials before, if he contradicted himself now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of himself?
Although he was remorseful in his heart, as an emperor, Li Shimin's emotions and anger were invisible, and he would definitely not show it on his face.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing his emotions, he said expressionlessly: "Qingque, this matter is of great importance, you can't talk nonsense."

Li Tai said loudly: "My son certainly has evidence!"

As he said that, he held up a letter and said loudly: "Father, this is the letter that my brother gave to Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou. Please read it!"

When everyone saw the letter in Li Tai's hand, they couldn't help whispering.

"Could it be that His Royal Highness Wei Wang is telling the truth?"

"King Qian really did those things?"

"Hey, he rebelled before, killed the governor, and did such a rebellious thing, so what's the slander?"

The officials whispered, they all ignored Li Chengqian's contribution, but insisted on Li Chengqian's bad deeds.

"Your Majesty, the emperor commits the same crime as the common people. You are a wise lord. I hope you will never bend the law for personal gain!" Cen Wenwen, who had just been appointed as Zhongshuling, also stood up and said.

With so many officials speaking out at the same time, even Li Shimin could not easily expose the matter.

After a long silence, he waved his hand and said, "Present the letter!"

Eunuch Wang De trotted down, took the letter from Li Tai, and handed it to Li Shimin respectfully.

Li Shimin opened the letter and read it for a while, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, this little bastard's handwriting is pretty good.

"Your Majesty, it is clearly written on it, it is definitely written by the emperor himself!"

Li Shimin put down the letter, and said with a sullen face: "The letter is indeed very clear..."

Cen Wenwen said: "Your Majesty, since the facts have been confirmed, then quickly order to punish King Qian!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

Officials who supported King Wei all stood up, threatening to punish Li Chengqian severely!
The momentum is so great that there is a faint tendency to force the palace.

Li Shimin's face became even more gloomy, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

...

Wei Wangfu.

A dusty soldier suddenly stopped at the entrance of the palace on horseback, and then knocked hard on the door with "bang bang bang" regardless of 21.

The housekeeper who was instructing the servant girls to disturb the palace frowned, opened the door immediately, saw the soldier, and asked, "Could it be that... you were also sent by Renhong, the governor of Guangzhou?"

The soldier froze for a moment, and then said anxiously: "That's right, I was sent by the governor to deliver the letter."

"Send a letter?" The butler looked at him and asked curiously, "Is your governor very busy? He doesn't care about such a big place in Guangzhou, so why do you know how to write letters every day?"

"... "

The soldier swallowed his saliva and said, "This matter is extremely urgent, take me to His Royal Highness Wei Wang!"

The housekeeper said displeasedly: "You are late, His Highness is going to court now, what's the matter, wait for His Highness to come back."

"I've gone to court..." The soldier's face turned pale, "Where's the letter?"

The steward glanced at him, "Didn't your Lord Governor ask His Highness to present the letter to His Majesty? Don't worry, our Highness will definitely not forget it."

"To His Majesty..."

The soldiers only felt dizzy for a while, and then they passed out.

The butler was stunned.

"Hey, you, you still want to touch porcelain!"

...

The Ministry of War, because the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War have all gone to court, so now only Liu Jie, a member of the Ministry of War, is on duty.

At this moment, Liu Jie was weak and dozing off on the table.

The Ministry of War is the most important of the six departments, but also the most leisurely one.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military officers, military status, ordnance, military orders, etc., and these are long-term systems that will not be easily changed, so the Ministry of War usually has nothing to do most of the time.

Of course, the emperor didn't want anything to happen to the Ministry of War, because if there was, it would be a big event to mobilize the army!

"Report!"

At this moment, an anxious voice sounded outside, and then an official ran in and said, "My lord!"

Liu Jie was startled, subconsciously stood up, and then looked at the person with a little confusion, "What happened?"

The official hurriedly said: "The governor of Guangzhou sent an urgent report!"

"Urgent report??" Liu Jie was startled and murmured: "Although Guangzhou is on the border, it is located on the sea. Could it be that the great food country sent its navy to attack the city?"

Thinking of this, his expression changed, and he immediately took the urgent report, opened it and read it.

"What? Mutiny in Jiaozhou, self-established as Jiaozhi..."

Liu Jie took a deep breath, this matter... pierced the sky.

Now, he didn't dare to have any hesitation, and immediately went to Tai Chi Palace.

The matter was too serious, and it had to be reported immediately, otherwise, it would be him, the members of the military department, who were out of luck.

...

Tai Chi Temple.

The court meeting was still going on, but the atmosphere was very strange.

After Wei Wang Li Tai revealed the matter, he didn't have to do it himself, and Cen Wenwen and others who supported him would naturally climb up the stalk.

More than a dozen ministers spoke righteously, hoping that Li Shimin would order Li Chengqian to be abolished, demoted to a commoner, and rectify the law.

But Li Shimin never wavered.

The crime of spreading rumors and mutiny in Jiaozhou is indeed a bit serious, but compared with Li Chengqian's achievements, it pales in comparison.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to spread rumors, as long as it doesn't spread!

And those credits are real, predicting floods in ten states, papermaking technology, and strategies to deal with Goguryeo.

Taken together, these achievements had a huge impact on Datang!
