At the same time, I don¡¯t know if some ministers had ulterior motives or if someone was operating secretly. What should have only happened at the Sutra Banquet caused a storm in the city within one day.
People are talking in the streets and alleys, the scholars are discussing, and almost the whole of Chang'an knows about it.
"Have you heard? The prince-in-law has no numerology, he is a peerless evildoer."
"What a fart, the prince-in-law is obviously a banished immortal, what kind of monster is he?"
"Some people are impeaching the prince-in-law, saying that he is the second Wang Mang, and they even say that a lightning strike on a sunny day tomorrow will be the evidence."
Some people are still speaking for Zhao Chen, but public opinion is a matter of consensus. To put it simply, it muddies the water and no one knows whether what is being said is true or false.
This kind of behavior was called "buying water army" in later generations. I didn't expect that there were people in the Tang Dynasty who played it so smoothly.
What¡¯s interesting is that the Chang¡¯an Daily on the second day did not make a positive criticism and seemed to let the situation develop. This is worth pondering.
Soon, the next day.
Today is the day of the lightning strike that Li Chunfeng said. Not only the ministers of the previous court are waiting, but the people of Chang'an are also waiting.
At this moment, in the court hall, Zhao Chen still did not come to attend the morning court.
There are thirty days in a month, and he estimates that he has not come for twenty-eight days. Unless there is something more important or something very big, Zhao Chen will come to the morning court.
Li Shimin was sitting on the throne, listening to today's morning meeting, but he seemed a little absent-minded.
The ministers in the main hall are also waiting, and the ministers from the aristocratic families are also waiting.
Will a lightning strike happen today?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By the time the morning government affairs were almost settled, for a while we had nothing to do.
Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling: "The prince-in-law didn't come to the morning court today?"
Fang Xuanling lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the consort is not here."
Li Shimin nodded: "Did you go to Zhao Manor yesterday?"
Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, and finally could only say: "I'm going."
"What did Mr. Zhao say?"
"He didn't say anything."
Li Shimin was hesitant and didn¡¯t say anything?
Mr. Zhao is so calm?
It was at this time that a eunuch hurriedly came in from the side. After passing the message, the eunuch next to Li Shimin whispered the news to Li Shimin.
"Did it really happen?"
Li Shimin¡¯s face darkened.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the locust tree in the imperial garden was seen by all the palace maids. There was a sound of thunder in the clear sky, and it struck the locust tree directly."
There was a rare confusion in Li Shimin's eyes. Is Mr. Zhao really a monster?
Looking at the ministers below, Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, I just received news that just now, a locust tree in the imperial garden was directly hit by lightning."
Wow!
Did it really happen?
At this moment, all the courtiers were in an uproar. Changsun Wuji raised his head, with shock in his eyes: Prince Consort, is he really a monster?
"The hearts of Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin and others gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
¡°Then how come Li Chunfeng¡¯s calculations are so accurate that he can calculate lightning strikes on sunny days?
The other ministers were even more commotion, the eyes of those ministers from aristocratic families were shining brightly!
What a great opportunity!
This time, no one can save the Prince Consort!
"Quiet!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, is there anything you want to say?"
All the ministers looked at Li Shimin again, and some ministers from aristocratic families stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial!"
coming!
Fang Xuanling's heart trembled.
The official of the aristocratic family said with a loud voice and awe-inspiring momentum: "Your Majesty, the prince-in-law has been proven to be a monster. How can he hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Education again? Half of the power of the Tang Dynasty is in the hands of the prince-son-in-law. Your majesty knows that among the people, the prince-son-in-law has already To be called the Emperor?"
All the ministers are filled with fear.
This impeachment is just rubbing salt into the wound.
Li Shimin narrowed his glasses slightly and said nothing.
The minister continued to increase his intensity: "We can understand His Majesty's favor for the Consort, but after all, Your Majesty does not know what the Consort is thinking. If he hides it deeply, after Your Majesty dies, if he wants to be Wang Mang's second best, this country of the Tang Dynasty will be ruined. Can?I¡¯m going to change my surname to Zhao! "
"shut up!"
Cheng Yaojin walked out angrily: "Fuck you! Mr. Zhao doesn't care about this country at all!"
The minister sneered: "Since it's not a big deal, how about you ask the prince-in-law to hand over his position as Minister of Reform and stop intervening in any political affairs?"
"Fart! Your Majesty gave you the position of Prince Consort, and you just hand it over? How Mr. Zhao treats the Tang Dynasty is seen by everyone. Without Mr. Zhao in the past two years, the people of the Tang Dynasty have been living in dire straits."
"Lu Guogong! What we are talking about now is after the consort. I admit that from the ninth year of Zhenguan to the tenth year of Zhenguan, the consort made certain contributions to the Tang Dynasty, but this is just a drop in the bucket compared with his future attempts to usurp the throne."
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Why bother to accuse someone?"
"What kind of crime is there to impose? Today's thunderbolt in the clear sky, hasn't it been proven yet? Prince Consort, he is a monster!"
Suddenly, the whole court started to quarrel.
Li Chengqian opened his mouth, looking at the chaotic court, he didn't know what to do.
Those ministers of the aristocratic families naturally seized this opportunity to criticize wildly. This was a rare opportunity. Cheng Yaojin and Fang Xuanling both had gloomy faces and were very unsightly.
Chu Suiliang and others rarely came out. Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, but went out and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of ghosts and gods has always been inconclusive, but the various actions of the consort have indeed brought great benefits to the country of Tang Dynasty without any harm. , I think we should think twice.¡±
Wei Zheng still only stands on the side of truth.
Changsun Wuji came out and said directly: "Your Majesty, regardless of whether what Mr. Lu said before is right or wrong, most of the powers and responsibilities of the six departments have been concentrated in the Ge Department, which is extremely inappropriate. It is equivalent to the other three departments. There is no need to exist. This is not good for the long-term development of Datang. Your Majesty, please think twice."
Yuchi Gong¡¯s eyes turned dark for a while. Was the noise in the court going crazy?
Another official from the aristocratic family impeached: "Your Majesty! The prince-in-law must not stay in the court anymore. This person has penetrated every corner. When he fully grasps the power and feels that the time is right, that will be the day when he becomes Wang Mang!"
"fart!"
Cheng Yaojin was angry.
Li Shimin suddenly said: "Shut up!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The whole court fell silent.
There was no expression on Li Shimin's face, and he just said in a deep voice: "I will come here this morning to retreat."
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin ignored them and stood up to leave. He was also a little upset.
Who in ancient times was not afraid of ghosts and gods?
Cheng Yaojin sighed inwardly: Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, if you continue to be an idle fish, there is nothing we can do. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
