Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 456
The scene became tense for a while, Li Shimin's eyes were cold, and he stared and looked at the corrupt officials kneeling on the ground.

But these people were terrified, each of them was terrified and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, we are just confused for a moment, please forgive me!"

"Yeah, we were all deceived by lard. This is why we made such a big mistake. Please let your Majesty let us go."

The official said everything he said, but he couldn't move Li Shimin in the slightest.

At this moment, Li Shimin just wanted to deal with these people seriously.

"They were all beaten to death with sticks as a warning to others."

Li Shimin's voice was cold, and he said every word, but he hated these officials to the extreme.

Even thinking about how much he appreciated them at the beginning, Li Shimin felt that he was blind, otherwise he couldn't be mistaken.

After hearing what he said, Li Yin immediately asked the guards to do it, for fear that there would be another accident.

But without giving these corrupt officials a chance to defend themselves, they were seen dying in screams.

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up slightly, and his wish was finally fulfilled, and his heart was extremely happy at this moment.

And Li Ke, who stood by and helped Li Yin arrange all this, was even more happy. It was his long-cherished wish to punish these corrupt officials.

Wei Zheng seized the opportunity and bowed directly.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

As he shouted, many officials echoed, and the scene was once grand.

Only then did Li Shimin's complexion improve, but it also looked cold.

Then I saw him glance at the official who had been executed with a stick, with disgust in his eyes.

Immediately, he looked at a group of refugees.

"You are all my people, but you suffer because of my negligence, and I feel ashamed in every way!"

When Li Shimin spoke, his eyes were moved, and all the refugees were grateful, and they knelt down and kowtowed.

"Heaven has eyes, His Majesty is able to discern every detail, and finally eliminated these scourges!"

An elderly man among the refugees cried bitterly, but he knew that their hard days were over.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin felt soft-hearted, and immediately called several ministers over.

"The local people's livelihood is so difficult, what does the court do for food?"

Li Shimin asked sharply, which immediately made the ministers tremble with fear, but he knew that at this time, he had to take practical actions.

A minister immediately proposed to allocate funds to Wannian County to temporarily relieve their difficulties.

Li Yin nodded in agreement after hearing this, and suggested to Li Shimin.

"My son also thinks this is the most appropriate way, and I ask my father for approval."

Li Shimin was very pleased, so he directly agreed to allocate a sum of money from the national treasury to help Wannian County restore people's livelihood.

When the refugees heard this, they were ecstatic, and they were even more grateful to Li Shimin.

There are also quite a few people who respect Li Yin, and they know in their hearts that they can achieve such a good result because of Li Yin's help.

Li Shimin also saw their thoughts, so he directly asked Li Yin to stay here for a while, so that the local situation could be completely stabilized.

Three days later...

At the beginning of the court meeting, Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair with a sneer on his face, but it made many people present worried.

Although three days had passed since what happened during the sacrifice, they knew that the matter was far from over.

Li Shimin, who came back from Wannian County, seemed not angry, but was actually waiting for an opportunity, and there was a hint of danger approaching them at today's court meeting.

"Your Majesty..."

Just as the minister of the Ministry of Rites was about to start playing, he met Li Shimin's playful eyes. He was startled, and swallowed the words abruptly.

A bad feeling arose spontaneously in his heart.

Sure enough, I heard Li Shimin's tone of sarcasm, and pointed the finger at the Minister of Rites.

"Aiqing has been busy with sacrifices a few days ago, and she has really worked hard."

After Li Shimin's words fell, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty turned pale with shock. How could they not know what Li Shimin meant by mentioning the sacrificial offering at this time.

Seeing that the Minister of Rites softened and sat on the ground, his whole body seemed to have lost his soul. The moment he was most afraid of finally came.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and then asked Wang De to read out the punishment for him, dismissed from office, investigated, and ransacked his home.

For a while, the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty were in panic, for fear that this matter would involve many people, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was the first to bear the brunt.

But Li Shimin unexpectedly did not make any other moves.

Perhaps in his heart he also understood very well that this matter involved too much, and it would be unrealistic to hold everyone accountable.

So he wanted to beheaded by the Minister of Rites, so that he could serve as a warning to the monkeys, so that the crooked spirit above the court could be restrained.

Immediately, all the officials admired him, but they deeply admired his methods.

On the other hand, Li Shimin has not forgotten the principle that those who have committed crimes must be investigated, and those who have made merits must be rewarded.

They just clicked on the names of Li Ke and Wei Zheng, and they were rewarded a lot after some compliments.

But the two were very happy, and they all received orders to thank them.

After everything was arranged, Li Shimin smiled in satisfaction, and asked Wang De to announce his retirement.

"Your Majesty, you promised Concubine Yang earlier that you would go to her to have dinner." Wang De approached and reminded Li Shimin in a low voice, which made him look surprised. After thinking about it, he was sure that there was such a thing.

"Look at my memory, I would have forgotten this if you hadn't reminded me." Li Shimin immediately asked people to prepare for a fight and went directly to Concubine Yang's palace.

It was time to eat, but Li Shimin's face was somber, which made Concubine Yang feel puzzled.

"What's on your majesty's mind?" Concubine Yang asked tentatively, but how could she know that Li Shimin was so immersed in it that he didn't hear her at all.

Concubine Yang didn't dare to say much, she just waited for Li Shimin to come back to his senses.

After a long time, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, as if there was a flash of light.

"I always feel that something is wrong. After thinking about it, I have to ask the prince about it."

Li Shimin thought of Li Min's various performances during this period, and felt that he knew everything, so he couldn't help but sink his mind.

After eating, Li Shimin immediately asked Wang De to call Li Yin, insisting on confronting him face to face.

Concubine Yang who was sitting on the side looked surprised, she didn't know what happened at all, she thought it was Li Shimin's bad behavior that made Li Shimin unhappy.

From time to time, he wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Li Min.

But Li Shimin kept smiling bitterly, just waiting for Li Min to come over and confront him.

Not long after, Li Yin hurried over with a look on his face.

He guessed Li Shimin's intentions in advance, and immediately bowed respectfully.

"My father is so anxious to find my son, I don't know what the emergency is."
