The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

The things in the brochure were sorted out after he received the Lizhou Memorial here.

The school lieutenant of the Lizhou Baiqi Division, he witnessed the removal of the King Zheng's family in Lizhou, and he also obtained all the interrogation records about the King Zheng's family from various county and government offices, as well as all Person's event record.

For this reason, he also specially participated in the interrogation, and also sent someone to copy all the records, and sent them to Chang'an quickly.

As soon as the report arrived in Li Shan's hands, he found that the matter was serious.

In order to prevent the troubles of his senior brother, he urgently sent extra manpower to start a thorough investigation of the problems of the relevant personnel of Zheng Wang's family.

No, these days, all the news has been recorded in books, as many as dozens of books.

Chapter 5

After Li Shimin stared at Li Shan for a while, he didn't see any problems.

Immediately, I started flipping through the booklet.

However, as Li Shimin started flipping through the brochure, he, who was already upset just now, suddenly burned with anger.

On the booklet, what was recorded was about most of the members of the Zheng Wang family in Lizhou, and even knew about the Zheng Wang family's collusion with bandits to make trouble.

Looking further down, he, Li Shimin, was about to explode with anger.

Just now the civil servants collectively criticized the Lizhou matter and spoke for the Zheng and Wang families.

But what is recorded on the booklet?

That's a lot of crimes, with dozens of names and hundreds of people with disabilities.

What kind of person is capable of doing such evil things? Even Li Shimin began to examine whether the aristocratic family had similar incidents in other states.

"You bastard, take a good look at it. Is this what you call an aristocratic family? Is this what you call an aristocratic family that solves the lives of the common people?" After reading it, Li Shimin was so angry that he was so angry that he took the brochure directly. Throw it at Wei Zheng, smash it at Wei Zheng's face.

Wei Zheng was so frightened by the sudden blow that he didn't know why.

It even frightened all the officials to dare not say a word at this time.

Everyone present had experienced Li Shimin's anger.

Although Li Shimin seldom made such a big fuss, even Wei Zheng was smashed, who else would dare to speak against Li Shimin's anger at this time?

Immediately, Wei Zheng picked up the booklet with a trembling body and began to check it.

Together with Changsun Wuji and other nearby officials, they also began to pick up the booklets on the ground and began to look through them.

After Wei Zheng and the others checked the booklet, they found that the evil deeds done by the King Zheng's family in Lizhou were recorded on the booklet.

Immediately, they froze, standing there cautiously, not daring to utter any words, not even making a single movement.

At this time, Li Shan continued to present his brochure to Li Shimin.

"Extremely disgusting, extremely disgusting. My court did not expect so many important officials to do such evil things. When did the court feel sorry for you? Do you need to make money in this way?" After reading a few brochures, Li Shimin stopped watching.

He was afraid that if he watched it any longer, he would go crazy.

On the booklet, not only the evil deeds of Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng are recorded, but also some evil deeds of other officials.

This caused Li Shimin to scold him extremely disgustingly.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin bravely snatched the booklet from Wei Zheng's hand.

"Old man Wei, is this the confidence you have to speak for King Zheng's family? If the confidence really comes from this crime, then I, Old Cheng, can do these things too. Look at you sour, you just said I want to speak for the Zhengwang family in Lizhou, where did the arrogance go? Could it be eaten by dogs?" Cheng Yaojin finally seized a good opportunity and began to attack the civil servants.

"Bullshit civil servants, I was counting just now. All of you are going to sue Zhong Shaobao. I wonder if Zhong Shaobao will come to your door when he finds out about this, so as to put an end to your prestige, haha." Yuchi Jingde After reading the brochure, I also started to add insult to injury.

If you don't hit the civil servants at this time, you won't have such a good chance in the future.

Just now the civil servants were extremely arrogant, but when the style of painting changed, they laughed and cursed.

"What a family of Zheng Wang, they have done all kinds of evil things, they are devoid of conscience, a group of sour rots are licking their faces and want to sue Zhong Shaobao, take a look, take a good look, this is the Lizhou Zheng Wang two that you want to protect Home." Li Xiaogong also began to curse.

"Sour..."

Gradually, more and more generals read the brochure, expressing their anger at being at a disadvantage just now.

People from the military commander department are not so sour when they speak.

Most of what they said was straightforward.

Swearing is commonplace, and beating is common.

But at this time in this hall, a few sour words are already worthy of the civil servants.

However, they also know that this is not the time for them to get angry. After all, Li Shimin is still burning with anger. If they make a scene at this moment, it will definitely aggravate Li Shimin's anger.

If that time comes, they will not be able to extinguish Li Shimin's anger, so they also understand what they can and cannot do at this time.

But Li Shan saw that Li Shimin was no longer looking at the brochure, and he closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking about.

Immediately, Li Shan began to hand out the pamphlets to the civil servants and generals.

"This... What a Wang Ting, what a Zheng Dingsheng, I have never seen such a brazen person, Wang Ting, your son killed two people three years ago, I don't know if you still remember it? You erased the traces, and you didn't hesitate to use your connections to buy off the Lantian County Yamen. In the second year, you didn't hesitate to buy off the officials and transferred all the insiders from Lantian County. What a big deal. It's the beginning..."

"Zheng Dingsheng, you are even more shameless. You have just entered the official career in the fifth year of Wude. In the name of a student of the Zheng family, you forcibly robbed two civilian girls and caused their deaths. It seems that you should also do this." You won’t forget, right? Also, as an official of the Ministry of Rites, you didn’t expect to have connections with Turks. It seems that your death is not far away, and…”

Li Zhong, Minister of Zongzheng Temple, almost passed out out of breath after reading the brochure that recorded the evil deeds of Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng.

Li Zhong said that there was nothing wrong with other people's crimes.

But he, Li Zhong, is not only a member of the royal family, but also the minister of Zongzheng Temple. Moreover, on his head, there is also the name of Prince Taifu.

Based on his official title, he naturally has the right to intervene in this matter.

But at this time, Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng were paralyzed after hearing Li Zhong's words.

Old things, this is their pain point.

Similarly, it is also a sin that they cannot wash away in their lives.

"My lord, please order Xiange to resign from their official positions and join the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will jointly investigate and deal with this matter." After reading the brochure, Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and advised Li Shimin.

"Old Cheng, I agree with King Hejian's proposal. Such a heinous person should be beheaded afterwards." Cheng Yaojin stood up and echoed.

"Everyone, there are more here, please take a look." Seeing that Li Shimin was still thinking about something with his eyes closed, Li Shan continued to hold all the remaining brochures and began to pass them to the generals.

After a small number of generals read the brochure, what followed were those who cursed at the civil servants.

After reading the brochure, the civil servants had to be pointed at and scolded by the generals, but they dared not speak back.

After all, the people on the booklet are all from their civil service line, so they have no face to fight back.

On the booklet, there are more than just a few incidents recorded by the personnel. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, all their evil deeds will be sentenced to exile for thousands of miles.

However, the book also involves evil things about a large number of people from the four great families.

Among them, in addition to Zheng Wang's family, there are Cui Lu's family.

There are so many books, no less than [-] officials are recorded.

However, among these officials, the highest is only from the fifth rank, and the youngest is from the eighth rank, but this was exposed in the court meeting, and the consequences can be imagined.

Li Shimin has been thinking about some things with his eyes closed, because it is about what is recorded in the booklet.

This is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled well, then this trouble will appear one after another, and in the end, it will displease the four great families and cause turmoil in the world.

Li Shimin was very upset.

As long as it involves matters about Zhong Wen, it must be a big deal.

But he didn't expect that this big event was about the four great noble families.

Although, he, Li Shimin, had a lot of compromises with the four great gentry.

Even a few months ago, Zhong Wen and the others broke out about the Kong family, and they still had to compromise in the end. Even though the reputation of the Kong family has been damaged, the Kong family is still a model for scholars in the world, and can still influence the world Most readers.

This reputation, for the scholars in the world, can be fooled by just a few words, even if the Kong family insults a woman in the street, it is the woman's fault.

When Li Shimin came to power, he compromised too much, but today, he, Li Shimin, didn't want to compromise any more, because he, Li Er, really didn't want to do two anymore, he wanted to be one.

"Li Zhong, Li Xiaogong, I order you two to investigate and deal with all the officials recorded on the booklet. If anyone commits a crime, he will be dealt with strictly according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty. No matter who is involved, anything, even a family, you Both of them can be punished." Li Shimin suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and ordered to Li Zhong and Li Xiaogong.

"Your Majesty can't, this matter is..." Changsun Wuji's heart fluttered when he heard the sound, and he quickly stood up to stop it.

"Changsun Wuji, take care of yourself. Everyone present today who said they wanted to sue will be fined for one year, and those who have nobles will be fined [-] acres of land. Discuss the matter of Zhong Shaobao, remove him from his post and demote him to a commoner." Li Shimin once again became angry when he saw his elder Sun Wuji jumping out to stop him.

So what if the eldest grandson Wuji is his brother-in-law?

Could it be that Li Shimin himself can't be the master of the world?

Didn't everyone clamor a lot just now?Then a fine will be imposed so that all of them will not jump out to cause trouble in the future.

As soon as Li Shimin's words came to an end, he had come to a conclusion about today's court meeting.

Even if Changsun Wuji was pushed back, who would dare to jump out at this time?

And Li Shimin's words were a decision he made after thinking about it for a long time.

As for whether this decision would cause turmoil in the Tang Kingdom, he had already figured out the countermeasures.

Although many of Tang's troops are in the Western Regions, as long as they mobilize soldiers from various states, they can probably cope with the country's turmoil.

"My lord, may I say a few words?" Just when the courtiers were anxious, Shadow stood up from his chair and said.

"Shadow, tell me." Shadow wanted to speak, and of course Li Shimin agreed.

The shadow has never been involved in government affairs, and has never been in contact with any officials. It can be said that the shadow is the person Li Shimin trusts the most.

Now, it was the first time for Shadow to come to the Great Court Conference, but Shadow had something to say, which was enough to show that Shadow also had his own thoughts on today's court conference.

"You are all important ministers of the imperial court. Although my shadow is a regular attendant, everyone knows that I never ask about political affairs, but what everyone said today is a bit too much? The Holy Majesty appointed Zhong Shaobao as the governor of Lizhou, and the Holy Majesty naturally has him. Your Majesty is the emperor of our Tang Kingdom, and you embarrass him like this. As a minister, you are serving the Majesty and the people of the world. Eliminating evil and eradicating evil is the blessing of the people.”

"Zhong Shaobao is a man. I know more than you. Zhong Shaobao never argues with others. The last time he resigned all his official positions and his titles in front of you, it is enough to show that Zhong Shaobao never let go of his official positions. In your heart, and you still criticize and persecute him like this, have you forgotten who he is?"

"Zhong Shaobao is not in Chang'an now, but if he is really in Chang'an, according to his temperament and behavior, do you think you and your family can resist him? Zhong Shaobao wants to kill you, don't say I can't stop him, even if everyone in the world Few people can stop it, but Zhong Shaobao will not get angry and kill everyone and the lives of your children in the family."

"That's all I said. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I just want to tell you that if you really become enemies with Zhong Shaobao, then my shadow, Li Shan, Wang's servant, and Jiang's servant will all stand by Zhong Shaobao's side." , How to choose, you can decide for yourself.”

Shadow slowly finished what he wanted to express, then saluted Li Shimin, and then walked away, leaving a group of dumbfounded officials on the spot.

Chapter 5 Seventeen

Shadow's words are enough to shock everyone.

Whether it is a civil servant or a general, everyone can hear clearly.

But at this time, those civil officials remembered that Zhong Wen was a ruthless person.

They remembered that when Zhong Wen first came to Chang'an, he killed countless people when he was guarding the palace city.

They even thought of Zhong Wen who killed the Tubo mission, and they also thought of Zhong Wen's little sister and hundreds of boys besieging Zhong Wen when he was facing the Kong family.

They also heard that Zhong Wen was dealing with Tubo masters in Songzhou.

After thinking about all kinds of things, they realized that Zhong Wen was really not a good talker.

If what the shadow said, if Zhong Wen really returned to Chang'an City, what they will face is not Zhong Wen, but a murderous demon.

Who among them is not afraid of death?

I don't think so.

Moreover, with this method of death, they would rather go out to fight and die than die in the hands of Zhong Wen.

If they die on the battlefield, they can still gain fame for themselves and leave something for their families. At least, within one or two generations, their descendants can also sleep peacefully.

However, if he really died in the hands of Zhong Wen, then he probably died like this.

Seeing the shadow leave suddenly, Li Shimin yelled to disperse and left with him.

Following Li Shimin's departure, discussions started again in the hall.

Inside and outside the main hall, both civil servants and generals were discussing some things with each other.

For example, at this time, Cheng Yaojin was carefully asking the Minister of Zongzheng Temple, "Li Siqing, do you think we should control the people above this first? Maybe I will go home and destroy some evidence."

"Cheng Guogong is right." Li Zhong got Cheng Yaojin's reminder, and after a quick answer, he hurried to Li Shan and said, "Commander Li, the officials on this booklet, please bring someone to arrest them and send them to the Ministry of Punishment together." .”

"Li Siqing, Li Junwang, Cheng Guogong, don't worry, they don't have a chance to make a comeback. I have already sent people to wait for their mansions, and even their hometowns, I have already sent people to arrest them. "When Li Shan verified the people recorded in the booklet, he was already making arrangements.

This is a big event, and he also believed that Li Shimin would go in the direction he guessed, so he was already prepared.

"That's good, that's good, Commander Li, then please arrest these people and send them to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Xiaogong and I can investigate them one by one." After hearing Li Shan's words, Li Zhong was very happy.

At this time, many of those civil servants were very nervous.
