Chapter 645 Burning the Palace
Chapter 645 Burning the Palace
Beijing has been full of drama recently.
It's all right for the court officials to fall one after another, but now even the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are dared to assassinate.
Although the people didn't know the meaning of Li Shimin's decision, they could vaguely feel a dangerous atmosphere lingering over the capital.
After all, in the thousands of years of past dynasties, there has never been such a shocking thing.
Fortunately, the court officials seemed to know who the murderer was behind this scene, and they did not close the gate of Chang'an City to hunt down the assassin.
Otherwise, the life that the people have finally settled down will be ruined today.
The colorful nightlife like in the past will inevitably be banned by the court.
"His Majesty!
Since the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City, all kinds of cases have increased by more than [-]%.
The people in the capital have already complained about this, and the court should make a decision that morning! "
Ganlu Temple.
Wei Zheng said loudly with no expression on his face.
Li Shimin was noncommittal when he heard the words, turned his head to look at the contented Li Jing, and shouted in a deep voice: "Prince, you are responsible for canceling the curfew.
Now that Wei Aiqing said that the people are dissatisfied with this discussion, do you have anything to say about it? "
"The child has nothing to say!"
Hearing this, Li Jing shook his head without hesitation.
Seeing this, Li Shimin gritted his teeth secretly, and asked with a sullen face in a cold voice: "So you also agree with Wei Aiqing's proposal, admitting that lifting the curfew is a complete evil policy?"
"Hehe~
Father misunderstood! "
Li Jing pursed his lips when he heard this, pointed at Fang Xuanling casually, and said with a smile: "Your talent is poor, I really don't know how to teach Master Wei the way of economics.
But Mr. Fang is well-informed and intelligent, which must be enough to convince Mr. Wei.
And the boy really doesn't know, where does the people's complaints that Mr. Wei said come from?
Could it be that this merchant is not a citizen of our Tang Dynasty, and the woman from the peasant household begging for this is not a citizen of my Datang Dynasty? "
"Humph!
As the saying goes, Taoist priests, farmers, businessmen, how can merchants compare with us! "
Wei Zheng snorted coldly when he heard the words, and retorted extremely contemptuously.
Seeing this, Li Jing snorted in disdain, and was too lazy to argue with this seemingly upright old master.
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling sighed, clasped his fists and said, "Report to Your Majesty.
Since the imperial court lifted the curfew, taxes have more than doubled that month.
At the request of His Royal Highness, Weichen sent people to visit the homes of the common people, and hundreds of households all praised it.
I don't know where Master Wei's complaints come from, but it must not come from the low-level people who are running around for their livelihood.
Therefore, I think that there is nothing wrong with canceling the curfew, and the court only needs to send more people to supervise it. "
"Oh?
Really? "
Li Shimin sneered when he heard it, looked at Wei Zheng meaningfully and said, "Wei Aiqing, you must have understood what Xuan Ling said.
Now it seems that this curfew is actually a bad policy, and the abolition of this order will do more good than harm to the court and the people.
That being the case, there is no need to discuss this matter again in the future.
After you go down, you may wish to carefully examine where this rumor came from, and who dares to criticize my court's government affairs?
Although I promised Nuoer and other censors who said they were not guilty, the rumors were not just nonsense! "
"My minister is guilty, and I ask His Majesty to punish him!"
Wei Zheng still prayed expressionlessly, as if the slander just now did not come from him.
Seeing this, Li Shimin didn't bother to argue with him, so he waved his hand and said, "The crown prince stays here, you should step down first!"
"promise!"
Fang Xuanling and the others, as if they had received an amnesty, quickly got up and exited the hall.
The current situation is very strange, everyone doesn't want to be caught and questioned by Li Shimin at this moment.
"Prince, what do you think of what happened last night?
In your opinion, who did this? "
After the little servant closed the palace door, Li Shimin asked bluntly.
He believed that Li Jing would be able to see through his intentions, so there was no need to beat around the bush here.
Li Jingwen thought for a while, and replied seriously: "Return to father, the outside world is saying that this is what Li Ke did.
But Hai'er thought that although Li Ke was stupid, he never dared to seriously assassinate Hai'er and the Supreme Emperor.
And based on what Hai'er watched last night, the person behind the scenes seemed to be trying to assassinate Hai'er, but in fact they were trying to burn down the royal tea house to anger me.
If this matter was really done by someone sent by Li Ke, he shouldn't be asking for trouble like this. "
"Oh?
Do you really think so? "
Li Shimin nodded secretly, and asked softly with a smile.
His opinion was the same as that of Li Jing, and the question at this moment was just to see what Li Jing guessed.
What's more, Concubine Yang pleaded overnight last night, so he naturally wanted to find out Li Jing's intentions in advance.
Otherwise, no one would know whether this worrying eldest son would pretend to be a fool and take the opportunity to take revenge on Li Ke.
If it really came then, he didn't know how this drama should end.
"Of course it is true, how dare the child lie to the emperor."
Li Jing nodded solemnly, and met Li Shimin's scrutinizing eyes and said loudly: "Although the boy intends to take the opportunity to take revenge on Li Ke, he will not let the villain do what he wants.
When Hai'er meets Li Ke next time, he just needs to beat him up. Father don't have to worry that Hai'er will burn down Han Palace with an eye for an eye! "
"hiss!
Burning the Han Palace?
Prince, do you really have such plans? "
Li Shimin was not relieved when he heard it, but suddenly the alarm bells in his heart rang out.
After all, if Li Jing hadn't really had such thoughts, how could he have mentioned this matter unintentionally.
And even if Li Jing didn't want to set fire to the King's Mansion of Han, the beating is a big deal!
If it's just a bruised nose and swollen face, it's fine, but if it's like Li Chengqian's broken leg...
Concubine Yang would definitely not let him step on the bed again.
It's just that he was really helpless in the face of the innocent Li Jing at this moment.
It can't be punished with trumped-up charges before things happen.
Although Li Shimin acts domineeringly and has no taboos, he doesn't want to bear the infamy of right and wrong.
It seems that he can only send people to keep an eye on the East Palace, and never let Li Jing leave the palace.
Otherwise, his dream of hugging left and right in the future may be completely ruined.
……
at the same time.
In the palace of the King of Han.
Li Ke is holding the "concubine" in one hand, and drinking wildly with the jug in the other.
Things are looking great now.
Dozens of officials joined him one after another, and Li Jing was assassinated last night and his prestige was greatly lost.
There have been rumors among the people that the king of Han is the man appointed by God, and he will definitely be replaced by Li Jing in the future.
If Concubine Yang hadn't sent someone to subpoena him to keep him quiet, he would have invited the officials who had defected to him to have a carnival all night.
He has never learned anything else during this trip to Shuzhou, but he has a deep understanding of the four words "I don't want to miss Shu".
"Your Highness.
If he drank too much during the day, His Majesty would inevitably blame him everywhere.
You have had a great time today, why don't you take a rest for a while. "
Seeing Li Ke's extreme arrogance, the steward sent by Concubine Yang carefully reminded him.
His duty is to supervise Li Ke here, so he naturally has to speak out and advise Li Ke's inappropriate actions.
Li Ke snorted nonchalantly when he heard the words, looked at the gradually setting sun outside the room and said: "Now that the sun has set, who told you it's still daytime?
The concubine mother asked you to assist the king, but she didn't ask you to talk nonsense! "
"My lord, the sky is so bright this day, where has the sun set!"
Before the steward could speak, the concubine at the side spoke coquettishly.
Li Ke and the steward were startled when they heard the words, and suddenly turned their heads to look out.
Just because when the two of them looked outside the house just now, it was clear that it was already a little dark, so how could it be that the sky was bright?
"This……
This is……
This is water! ! ! "
"what!!!
Come on!
Come on people!
Hurry up and protect the king out of the mansion!
Hurry up! ! ! "
