Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

"Oh? Impeach King Ji."

After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Li Shimin curiously picked up the memorial and read it for a few seconds, then put it down.

"What do you think of what just happened, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, I just said that Censor Sun's impeachment was a bit far-fetched."

"I feel the same way."

"I also second my opinion."

Several people who had just left the Wei family stood up again and expressed their opinions.

“Your Majesty, I feel that although Censor Sun’s impeachment is a bit far-fetched, it is indeed not excessive to go beyond the etiquette.

What's more, King Ji is wasting so much money and manpower.

It is not appropriate for him to celebrate with the whole nation, as a prince. Only His Majesty is qualified to celebrate with the whole nation and share the joy with the people."

Li Yifu stood up and said.

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and glanced at Li Zhi in the front row, then asked calmly:

"Does anyone else have any opinions?"

No one said anything, even the Shi family members had no intention of expressing their opinions.

In their opinion, it was impossible to use this incident to bring down Li Shen, as the idea of ​​disloyalty was too far-fetched.

Your Majesty will never believe it.

Without substantial evidence, Li Shen cannot be convicted just by talking.

They were waiting for Li Shen's death, otherwise they would not end so easily.

"Then let's summon King Ji to an audience and confront him in court."

Seeing that no one else spoke, Li Shimin gave an order, but he was still a little disappointed.

There was only Li Yifu, and his fighting ability was too weak, so he could not defeat that rebellious son at all.

Li Shimin actually hoped that a few heavyweights would stand up and fight with Li Shen, like Gao Ji Fu.

Then he will have an excuse to arrange confidants for the prince.

Li Yifu is not qualified at all as a Censor-in-Chief.

When Li Shen walked slowly into the Tai Chi Hall, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Li Shen came to the front and saluted:

"I greet you, Master. What is your wish for me?"

"Prince Ji, Censor Sun has accused you of being dissolute, ignorant of frugality, and violating etiquette. You are a prince but you are acting as a king.

For the sake of his own coming-of-age ceremony, he requested that the whole world share the joy.

He also said that you are committing treason and have rebellious intentions.

Do you have anything to say?"

Li Shimin looked calm as he repeated the content of Sun Yushi's impeachment.

In Li Shimin's view, this was different. An impeachment without actual evidence posed no threat to his son.

There is no need for his protection.

"Imperial Censor Sun?" Li Shen looked confused and turned to look towards the Censorate.

Then Censor Sun stood up and said that he was the one who impeached the person.

Li Shen frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said:

"do not know."

"Pfft~~"

I don’t know who in the audience almost laughed out loud, but luckily he managed to control himself.

All the ministers were speechless. They thought Li Shen would be furious or debate with Censor Sun.

Who would have thought that he was just confirming whether he knew her or not.

"Your Highness Prince Ji is very busy, and I am a lowly person with little influence. It is normal that Prince Ji does not know me."

Censor Sun made a sarcastic remark.

"You know that I am very busy, and you still dare to impeach me? Do you know that you have wasted so much of my time?

This king can write... do many things."

Li Shen scolded angrily.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, we, the Imperial Censors, have the duty of supervision. We can report on any situation and supervise all officials.

Your Highness Prince Ji has made a mistake, and as an imperial censor, it is my duty to correct your Highness Prince Ji's mistake."

Censor Sun showed no fear and spoke righteously.

Seeing Censor Sun's righteous look, Li Shen was furious. He worked so hard to practice calligraphy every day.

Someone actually impeached me, and the depression and resentment that had been suppressed for many days were instantly ignited.

"Asshole, His Majesty gave you the power to inspect all officials and allowed you to report anything you heard, but he didn't allow you to talk nonsense or make false accusations.

Do you know what it is to falsely accuse a prince?

You are just a lowly fifth-rank official, can you bear such a huge crime?"

Li Shen shouted angrily, startling several officials nearby.

Censor Sun was instantly stunned by Li Shen's aura.

Li Shen is right. He is the emperor's son and a prince. Even if you are the censor, you cannot impeach him at will.

Otherwise, anyone will be able to impeach the prince for no reason in the future. Where will the royal family's reputation be?

You know, if you want to leave your name in history, you have to be a person of great achievements.

Otherwise you can only take shortcuts.

The first shortcut is to fight with the emperor, such as talking back, dissuading, offering advice, etc. The representative figure is Wei Zheng.

The second shortcut is to impeach the crown prince. The crown prince is also a monarch, and as long as he is impeached, it will be recorded in history books.

If the impeachment is successful and the prince can be made to repent, then this deal will be even more significant and there will be a chance to rise to the top.

But the first one is too risky and could result in death.

The second risk is also not small. If the impeachment is wrong, or if the crown prince holds a grudge against him, it will be easy for him to be retaliated against when he succeeds to the throne in the future.

So many people took the third step and impeached the local princes.

For example, when the third prince Li Ke was young, he was often impeached by the chief secretary Quan Wanji.

Li Yin was also impeached by the censor for trampling on the dealers while hunting.

All the playboys in Chang'an City have done this kind of thing, but if a prince does it, someone will impeach you for fame.

I remember that when Li Chengqian built a house, he was impeached by a group of imperial censors, who said that Li Chengqian was greedy for luxury.

In Li Shen's impression, not to mention all his brothers, even the many uncles left by his grandfather, every one of them has been impeached.

It’s just that their impeachments are all based on reasons and evidence, not fabricated out of thin air.

Li Shen was impeached many times, but they were all minor matters. Li Chengqian said that there were memorials impeaching Li Shen every day.

However, these people didn't think about what the outcome would be. They were just taking a gamble, hoping that they would be noticed by their superiors and given a promotion.

But this time it was different. Li Shen was impeached for having a rebellious heart and doing things that an emperor should do. Doesn't this mean that Li Shen wanted to be emperor and was plotting a rebellion?

How could this not make Li Shen angry?

"Tell me, if you have evidence, I will commit suicide in this court to apologize. If you don't have evidence,

Humph, you falsely accuse the prince, I will impeach you for treason, the ten heinous crimes."

Seeing that Censor Sun didn't say anything, Li Shen continued to suppress his output. This ordinary Censor was just a small character.

Although he is only twenty years old, he has been active in the martial arts world for more than ten years.

He has fought against all the prime ministers one by one, so what is there that he hasn't seen?

"this......"

As expected, Censor Sun was frightened by Li Shen's subsequent words and falsely accused the prince of treason, a crime of the ten evils.

How could a mere imperial censor like him bear it?

"Hmph, you have nothing to say? Don't just think about leaving your name in history books all day long. You also need to find the right person.

How dare you impeach me? Don't you even look at who I am?

Today, considering that this is your first offense, I will not bother with you. Please don’t let it happen next time, otherwise I will not forgive you.

If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After Li Shen snorted and gave a lecture, he saluted to Li Shimin and turned to walk out of the hall.

"and many more!"
