Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

boom!

The speed at which Wei Zheng rushed back to Chang'an was beyond everyone's expectations.

But that's not the point.

The point is... this guy traveled day and night, regardless of wind or rain, and rushed back to Chang'an. He was exhausted and should have rested before coming to see His Majesty. Who knew... he actually planned to go back home to change into court clothes, and then he went straight into battle and started to rant...

"..." His Majesty Li II was sitting on the dragon throne at this moment, looking at the court officials below who had different expressions and exchanged glances with each other. He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

It’s not over yet…it’s really not over yet!

His Majesty Li II, who slept in the imperial study yesterday, still has dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep, but...

Who cares whether he sleeps well or not?

Among all the court officials in this palace today, who is not like His Majesty Li II, who is unable to eat or sleep because he is worried all day long about whether His Majesty the Prince of Chu will rebel?

And Wei Zheng was the one who brought the answer.

and so……

Today is probably the day when all the officials in the Zhenguan period are most united and are grateful and expectant of Wei Zheng.

Come on...come on!

Let that belated storm drench me and others thoroughly!

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Censor Wei Zheng is requesting an audience outside the palace." - It is said that Duke Wei is everyone's timely rain. Not long after Fang Xuanling finished speaking, and before His Majesty Li II opened his mouth to express his opinion, Zhang Nan's voice rang out outside the palace.

Then, Wei Zheng's full-throated and angry voice came: "Your Majesty, I, Wei Zheng, pay my respects to you!"

The voices came before the people arrived. This seemed to have become a tradition of civil servants fighting. When Wei Zheng appeared at the entrance of the Taiji Hall, the morning glow just happened to hit him, dyeing his purple court robes even more brilliantly: "Your Majesty, I have returned from Hebei Road and brought you two good news."

"..." Emperor Li II looked at Wei Zheng who walked into the hall like a fighting cock entering an arena. He didn't think that the other party would bring him any good news.

But...how bad can it be?

"Xuancheng... just speak frankly. I am indeed curious about what the good news is." His Majesty Li II was silent for a moment, and then put on a posture of listening.

"The bandits in Taihang Mountain have been wiped out by His Majesty the King of Chu. The refugees who originally lived in Taihang Mountain have now been inspired by His Majesty the King of Chu and have come down the mountain to accept the resettlement of the court." When Wei Zheng said this, he glanced around and found that everyone was looking at him with deep meaning...

So... Duke Wei, who had always been upright and incorruptible, now had the shadow of a barbarian: "Why are you looking at me? His Royal Highness the King of Chu arranged it this way, what else can I say?"

"Oh..." - At this moment, a harmonious response suddenly rang out in the hall: It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Chu... It's okay then...

Everyone was wondering when you, Wei Zheng, became so shameless.

"The second thing." Wei Zheng sometimes really hated himself for being able to read his colleagues' eyes: "After His Royal Highness the King of Chu escorted me out of Xingzhou, he led his troops to Songzhou, saying that he was following the secret order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to quell the rebellion..."

“Cough… cough cough…” - It has to be said that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.

At this moment, after learning the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, what could the officials say? Everyone's complicated feelings were now even more complicated...

Hmm... His Royal Highness the King of Chu has staged a classic "Besiege Wei to Save Zhao"...

However... the speed at which this old man got the news was indeed somewhat shocking...

"I... understand..." His Majesty Li II was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then suddenly laughed and said, "The Crown Prince mentioned this to me before, but I just thought he and Kuan'er were fooling around and didn't take it seriously."

"Your Majesty, I have finished speaking." - Wei Zheng, who had already started his "fighting stance", suddenly changed his previous fearless attitude and became extremely calm after hearing Li Shimin's statement.

He even bowed to Emperor Li II again, and then returned to his seat.

Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has said so, as long as His Majesty acknowledges the matter, I will not cause any more trouble.

Then Wei Zheng simply stopped interfering.

After all, when His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu gave instructions to me, Cao... Mr. Dou almost grabbed me by the collar to make me obey.

Of course, I have to give face to Mr. Dou. If Mr. Dou had not taken good care of me as a captive, I might not have survived those three years... How could I be here today?

"..." Wei Zheng's actions at this moment, not to mention the officials were confused, even Emperor Li II was a little at a loss: "That's... very good! Xuancheng... thank you for your hard work..."

"I am highly regarded by Your Majesty, and I shall go through fire and water for Your Majesty. However, I am truly unworthy of Your Majesty's praise this time..." Wei Zheng had never expected that His Majesty would come and light the stove even after he had already turned off the stove. Don't blame him for being ruthless: "Your Majesty," - Wei Zheng stood back on the stand: "In fact, my contribution is just a drop in the ocean compared to the contribution made by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. The Xingzhou governor Wang Dayong and Xingzhou garrison general Zhou Jun ignored the law and controlled everything in Xingzhou..."

Next, Wei Zheng used a very long article to describe to everyone the heinous crimes committed by Wang Dayong and Zhou Jun in Xingzhou, and how they were so bold that they actually attacked the imperial censor in broad daylight.

But... Wei Zheng... maybe... he didn't want his future son-in-law to have a bad reputation, so the "small matter" of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu killing Zhou Jun with a knife was covered up by his hasty remarks "Zhou Jun tried to attack His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, but was killed by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."

Of course, no one who heard this was a fool, but everyone also understood each other tacitly: Zhou Jun... His Royal Highness the King of Chu can just kill him... I just hope that His Royal Highness the King of Chu can use this incident to calm down his anger, otherwise...

Otherwise, it's well known.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Baoxiang should have sent Wang Dayong to the Dali Temple for detention by now. What happens next will all depend on how Your Majesty handles the matter." - After finishing his report, Wei Zheng solemnly saluted His Majesty Li Er again, and then returned to class - this time, he felt that he had nothing more to say.

Anyway, Your Majesty has lost all the face he should lose at this time.

-------------------------------------

Today's Chang'an seems to be quite turbulent.

First, Wei Zheng's performance at the grand court meeting surprised everyone.

And then... after the grand court meeting ended, the Minister of Rites Wang Gui returned to his residence and met his savior in his study.

"Old Heavenly Master, are you sure you want to do this?" Wang Gui looked at the scroll in the old Heavenly Master's hand with a serious face: "Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. None of us knows how His Majesty will react..."

"It's okay, just do as I say." - If His Royal Highness the King of Chu was standing here at this moment, looking at the old Taoist priest with such a rosy face, he might move his face closer to see if he could trigger the old Taoist priest's "passive vomiting blood".

"Has there been a letter from Lingzhou?" Wang Gui took the scroll from the old Taoist priest and then asked.

"It's not a letter, it's a visitor." The old Taoist smiled when he heard this, and then pointed outside the door.

At this time, outside the study, Lingzhou Governor Xue Wanjun and his younger brother Xue Wanche, the two brothers clasped their fists towards Wang Gui, who was looking shocked, and said, "Lord Wang, this time... thank you for your help!"
