Chapter 615 Disobedience in front of the palace
Although he was full of anger, Li Shimin couldn't get angry, otherwise who would dare to speak out in the future.
Li Shimin understands the need for these officials to exist.
These people are not good at arts and martial arts, but they are very fond of fame. In order to gain a good reputation, they have to find something to impeach them if they have nothing to do.
Up to the princes and nobles, down to the people of Liming, there is nothing they dare not impeach.
And Li Shimin also needs these officials to not be deceived.
Of course, it is impossible for these officials to stand upright, and Li Shimin cannot punish them for their actions, but Baiqi is not a vegetarian, and if he finds some problems, Li Shimin will have an excuse to punish him.
But this does not include Liu Yifu. Li Shimin once wanted to punish Liu Yifu, so he sent Baiqi to investigate Liu Yifu carefully.
However, the result made Li Shimin a little unimaginable. Baiqi investigated for half a month, and the result was that there was nothing wrong with this person.
Naturally, Li Shimin didn't believe it, and carefully looked at the records of Baiqi's investigation of Liu Yifu.
Liu Yifu has only one daughter, who married far away in the early years, and usually only communicates with letters.
Usually, after going to court, Liu Yifu basically shuts the door when he returns home.
Besides a few old servants, Liu Yifu's house has no other servants, and the house is also very dilapidated.
Although the salary in the Tang Dynasty was not the highest in history, it was definitely quite a lot. With Liu Yifu's salary and some gray income, it is impossible to be so poor.
Seeing this, Li Shimin felt that Liu Yifu was a man of integrity who kept himself clean and did not interact with other officials, and his anger was relieved a lot.
But later, Li Shimin discovered that Liu Yifu had no ability at all, he didn't understand the affairs of the country, the military affairs, and he only had etiquette in his eyes.
So until now Liu Yifu is still an ordinary censor.
Although Wei Zheng is famous for his outspoken remonstrance, Li Shimin values him so much because he has unique insights in governing the country.
And Liu Yifu has no fart skills, so naturally he won't be reused.
But such a person is more reassuring, so Li Shimin has no idea of wearing small shoes for Liu Yifu.
However, Liu Yifu is now here to add to his troubles, which makes Li Shimin feel a little regretful, and he shouldn't have softened his heart at the beginning.
No matter what you think in your heart, the important thing now is to deal with the things in front of you.
"Decree of the Imperial Physician, you should be very clear about King Wei's illness, tell me, is it suitable for King Wei to travel far away now?" Li Shimin said lightly.
The imperial physician Ling was dozing off in the back, but when he heard someone calling him suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment.
In fact, imperial physicians don't have to go to court at all, they study how to cure diseases, and state affairs have nothing to do with them, and they can't intervene.
However, many of the ministers were elderly, in order to be afraid of getting sick when they went to court, they arranged for several imperial doctors to go to court to deal with emergencies.
The Imperial Physician Ling couldn't remember the last time he spoke in court.
"Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei is really not suitable for traveling and traveling. As for when he will be able to, it depends on His Royal Highness's recovery." The Imperial Physician Order came out and said.
Whether such a thing is to please Li Shimin or not, that's all he can say at this moment.
If he patted his chest to ensure that Li Tai's body had recovered, and Li Tai died on the road later, wouldn't he want to bury Li Tai with him.
Li Shimin looked at Liu Yifu with a cold face, and said: "Did you hear that? You asked me to order Wei Wang to take over now. Do you want to kill Wei Wang?"
"I don't dare, it's just been like this since ancient times." Liu Yifu was not afraid at all.
He has no son, and his daughter is married. Even if he angered Li Shimin, he can't blame his daughter.
For him, there is nothing else he wants in this life, the only thing he wants is fame.
He is not afraid that Li Shimin will kill him, on the contrary, he will be happy if Li Shimin wants to kill him, and he will be generous to justice, to the "righteousness" in his heart.
He was sentenced to death for his words and admonitions, presumably there will be a strong mark in the history books.
For a person like Liu Yifu, death is not terrible, as long as he can leave his name in history, death is death.
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Of course I know that the prince should be a prince when he is an adult, but Wei Wang has been weak since he was a child, and now he is recovering from a serious illness. Letting him be a prince at this time is undoubtedly letting him die. As a father, I have no doubts. How can you bear it?"
"That is, these matters are His Majesty's family affairs. I don't care about your business. I see that you censors are full and have nothing to do every day. You just impeach this one and that impeachment based on rumors." Cheng Yaojin Said cursingly.
He is also often impeached by these officials, although this is what he likes to see, and even many of them are done deliberately by him.
But what the civil servants said during the impeachment made Cheng Yaojin feel that he had committed a heinous crime.
It is said that literati do not kill with a knife, Cheng Yaojin thinks it is true.
"Presumptuous, above the main hall, the majestic Duke speaks harshly, what's the proper way? Your Majesty, please punish Su Guogong for disrespect."
Cheng Yaojin's words were equivalent to scolding the entire Yushitai, which naturally aroused the same hatred among the Yushitai.
Even the corners of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched, his teeth itching when Cheng bit Jinqi.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin, and said loudly: "Su Guogong is disrespectful in front of the palace, and the person here will drag you down for twenty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, old minister." Cheng Yaojin didn't panic at all, thanked him with a smile on his face, and went out by himself without waiting for the palace guards to come forward.
He was not born to help Li Tai, but for Li Shimin, and now he seems to be punished, but his beating was for Li Shimin. Although Li Shimin can't reward him clearly, this friendship must be recorded .
Moreover, the executioners were hinted that it was impossible to actually beat them.
"Ah~ It hurts me to death."
Not long after, Cheng Yaojin's screams came from outside.
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, he hinted at Li Mu, and Li Mu must have explained that it is impossible to really fight, even if you want to put on a show, can you be so exaggerated?
He shouted pain in his mouth, but his tone was full of anger and did not change at all. Anyone who is not a fool knows that there is a problem.
But no one questioned whether it was a real fight.
There's no way, you can't say that people are screaming too loudly, just say it's a fake beating.
You can't take off Cheng Yaojin's pants to see the injury.
"Your Majesty, it's understandable that King Wei needs self-cultivation when recovering from a serious illness, but he can't continue to cultivate without a deadline, right?" Liu Yifu said.
He didn't want to push too hard. If Li Shimin really ordered Li Tai to surrender now, he would also be responsible if he died on the road.
At that time, let alone leave a name in history, his life will be gone.
He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is such an unknown death.
"Emperor Physician Order, tell me, how long will Wei Wang's body need to be maintained?" Li Shimin said coldly.
The Imperial Physician Ling secretly complained, I am here to dawdle, why bother me.
But facing Li Shimin's words, he couldn't help but answer. After thinking carefully, he said, "Your Majesty, according to my estimate, about half a year will be enough."
He was very aware of Li Tai's health, and in fact it was nothing serious now, but for the sake of safety, he still gave a deadline of one and a half years.
"Then order the king of Wei to retire immediately after half a year, and retire!" Li Shimin got up and left without giving everyone time to react.
