Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

"My lords, please rest assured. The prince has said it. The core of the newspaper is to be based on facts. It will never make up random things. All incidents must be true except for gossip. This is what the prince has told him." Cheng Chusi told the people around him officials explained

Cheng Chusi said to Cui Renzhi again: "Cui Yushi, you should know that what we wrote is a matter that has been decided by the court. All local officials and people know it, so it is not considered a secret. And the prince asked me to tell you something. . You officials who impeached him are not qualified to know the real state secrets. Only the adults in the front row are qualified to participate in it. Do you understand?"

In the front row are the top leaders of the military from three provinces and six departments. Fang Xuanling, Sun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others all looked at Cheng Chusi after hearing his words. For these big guys, impeachment in court is simply child's play. It’s a way to spice up a boring morning party.

Cheng Chusi is right. Real secrets. How could it be possible for them, the censors, to know. At least he has to be the leader of the six departments.

"You..." Cui Renzhi was speechless.

"Okay, Cheng Chusi is right. What is written in the newspaper is about the people's livelihood. It is not a leak of secrets. It can also let the people know what practical things the beloved ministers have done for the people." Li Shimin spoke.

"Yes, Your Majesty, and he also wrote down all the officials who approved of the marriage in the court a few days ago, and also said that we accepted bribes from the Tibetan envoys to do this. Isn't this a false accusation against us? We are loyal to the court. Geng Geng. How could this be so?" Cui Renzhi said angrily.

"When did the newspaper say that you took bribes? Don't lie. Falsely accusing the prince is a bigger crime. We are just objectively writing what happened that day, exactly as it is. I would like to ask you whether what is written in the newspaper is true and whether there is any nonsense. Just making things up." Cheng Chusi was not afraid of him either.

"This..." Cui Renzhi quickly read the article again. It's true that there is no added fuel or vinegar.

"I have nothing to say, so what's next?" Cheng Chusi said in high spirits.

"Walking about the emperor's daily life has been a serious sin since ancient times." Cui Inji is in high spirits again

"The prince said that your majesty is his father. It is only natural for a son to talk about his father. This is a family matter and outsiders should not interfere with it. And whether it is true. Don't you think it is a good thing to let the people know about your majesty's hard work?" Cheng Chusi took out the note and read it. Read the Tao

"The Tian family's selfless affairs are related to the reputation of the Tang Dynasty." Cui Renzhi wanted to say more

"Your Majesty, I think King Ji is right. Your Majesty works so hard every day. The people of the world should know about it. This will further demonstrate your Majesty's diligence and love for the people," Changsun Wuji interjected.

"Hey~ Wuji, these are all written by Li Shen who secretly deceived Gao Ming. I didn't know about it. As an emperor, I should think about the people. It's just that this traitor is too public." Li Shimin said modestly with a smile.

Cui Renzhi saw this situation and knew that Li Shimin was happy and had to give up. As for deceiving people, it is even more untenable. Everyone said what was written was true.

"Your Majesty, King Ji insulted Tubo Zampu in the newspaper. This should be true." Cui Renzhi could only pin his hopes on this last thing. Tubo was far away, so it was impossible for King Ji to know about it. He must have heard it from Hu Shang.

"Your Majesty, the prince said that you can ask Lu Dongzan to confront you. Is it true?" Cheng Chusi conveyed Li Shen's words.

Li Shimin did not talk nonsense in "Chuan Lu Dong Praise".

Lu Dongzan arrived soon. "Messenger from Tibet, I heard that you are very critical of what was said in the newspaper. Let's speak out today and confront Cheng Chusi." Li Shimin asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The newspapers insulted our country, Tubo, and our country Zanpu. On behalf of Tubo, I would like to express my strong sincerity. They say that the Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and I hope we can give an explanation to our country. Otherwise, I am afraid it will affect the two countries. "Brotherhood" Lu Dongzan means to start a war without explanation. He wants to use this to get married

Cheng Chusi said to Lu Dongzan calmly: "Is what the newspaper said true?"

"It's not true, it's all written indiscriminately." Lu Dong said righteously.

"Your Majesty asked you to speak to His Majesty once. Is the story about Tibet in the newspaper true? Think carefully before answering. In the Tang Dynasty, bullying the emperor is punishable by beheading." Cheng Chusi praised Lu Dong fiercely. continue to ask questions

Lu Dongzan was shocked when he said this. Does this King Ji have any credentials? Otherwise, why are you so confident? But he soon bet that Li Shen must have heard about it from Hu Shang. Because Li Shen had never been to Tubo. How can what you heard be considered evidence?

"Do not..."

"Not only will you die for deceiving me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but Tubo will also face the wrath of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo envoy, think about it before you speak." Cheng Chusi interrupted Lu Dongzan's words and threatened.

Hearing Cheng Chusi's words. Lu Dongzan hesitated. Maybe he really has evidence. But Ludong Chan is still Ludong Chan. How could he be frightened just because of a few words?

"Your Majesty, what the newspaper said was just nonsense about me, Tubo. I hope your Majesty can punish me severely."

Li Shimin looked at Cheng Chusi, wondering how he would respond next. Cheng Chusi said unhurriedly, "The prince is still young, and he has no scruples in childish talk. It should be just a child's joke. I hope the Prime Minister will not argue with children. Tubo is also a big country. The Prime Minister should have everyone's demeanor." I am here to apologize to you on behalf of the prince."

"Pfft" I don't know who wanted to laugh after hearing Cheng Chusi's words, but knew the occasion was wrong and held it back.

Everyone in Manchu culture also has weird expressions. It was so strong just now. The promised duel. Everyone was preparing to watch a tense and passionate scene, when Cheng Chusi finally came up with this trick. Li Shimin didn't expect this. So shameless? He doesn't have the courage of a prince at all.

"I think the Prime Minister will not care about the prince, an underage child. However, the prince also asked me to ask the Prime Minister. Is it true that your Zanpu has married several women?" Cheng Chusi continued to ask Lu Dong Thumbs up.

Lu Dongzan knew that the story of forced marriage could be said to be untrue, but there was no way to say that this matter was untrue. If the marriage proposal is successful. The princess will know when she arrives in Tubo. But if it were true, wouldn't it mean that the princess should be a concubine?

At this time, Lu Dongzan didn't know how to speak.

The ministers in the court looked at Lu Dongzan's hesitation and knew that what Li Shen said was true. But no one spoke. Li Shimin looked at all this and knew that this old man had won another game.

However, he still tried his best to pretend to be angry and scolded Cheng Chusi: "Humph, go back and tell King Ji. If you talk nonsense in the future, you will be severely punished. Today, I saw that he has not yet reached the top and is young and ignorant and bypassed him once. It will not be the same next time. Go back and follow him. King Ji said that he should be banned for three months and punished for one year as a warning to others."

"Uh... it's your Majesty. The prince has something to say." Cheng Chusi picked up the paper in his hand and began to read, "The prince has said it. You are all important ministers of the imperial court and should share the worries of the Tang Dynasty. The marriage cannot be carried out until the marriage is completed. Princess Xian. As the overlord of the world, the Tang Dynasty cannot let its daughter go to a bitter cold place. However, as a ceremonial gang, the Tang Dynasty should also provide some care to the surrounding small countries. We the Tang Dynasty also have the responsibility to maintain the stability of the vassal countries. Starting from next year, we will meet Based on the situation of our Tang Dynasty, we sell grain to various vassal countries at low prices. This is the recognition of our Tang Dynasty’s contribution to each vassal country. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and hopes that everyone in the world can have enough food, clothing, and peace."
