Chapter 392 Punishment for deceiving the king

Royal Palace.

On the Liangyi Hall.

The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet.

Xu Wei has predicted many times that as long as he and his people mentioned the retraction of Chen Chu's title and fiefdom, His Majesty Li Er, who had already been strongly protecting Chen Chu's heart, would be furious and furious, and even draw his sword to scare people. He and his friends are all ready to come today and will be willing to advise him. Even if Li Er wants to kill someone, they will take the initiative to stretch their necks out.

This is not to say that Xu Wei is not afraid of death. In fact, this guy is a bad guy, otherwise he would not have sold his butt to King Jing, but because he expected that Li Er would not really kill anyone even if he was angry. After all, with Wei Zheng's lessons, Wei Zheng annoyed Li Er in the court, and it was not always a good time.

But what confused Xu Wei was that after he and a bunch of censors behind him spoke passionately, Li Er, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, did not say a word, but just stared at the bottom, looking a little distracted.

Good guy!

I'm waiting for my saliva to dry, your Majesty, are you actually distracted?

Xu Wei's mouth twitched.

The other ministers also showed curiosity.

It shouldn't be!

Your Majesty today looks a bit weird.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Li Er quietly.

Li Er didn't realize it at all.

"Ahem..."

Xu Wei coughed twice and reminded: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, are you listening?"

Li Er did not respond.

Gao Chen, who was serving aside, couldn't see it, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, Xu Weida is asking."

Li Er was stunned and then came to his senses.

He retracted his gaze, then looked at Xu Wei, and asked, "Xu Aiqing, what did you say just now?"

Xu Wei: “…”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I and others believe that Your Majesty should immediately issue an order to take back all the titles and fiefs of Chen Chu of Pingxibo. Only in this way can you win the trust of the people and the world."

Li Er thought about it carefully, then nodded: "Okay, it makes sense, thank you Xu Aiqing for your hard work..."

Ka!

Xu Wei was stunned.

A bunch of censors behind him were all confused.

Originally, everyone had prepared countless words, waiting for Li Er to refute, and then worked together to argue with reason.

But who would have thought that Li Er, who had firmly opposed yesterday, suddenly agreed?

This made Xu Wei and others feel full of effort, but they punched into the air.

Very uncomfortable!

Just when everyone was confused.

But Li Er said, "At the beginning, I appointed Chen Chu as King of Pingxi and used most of the land in Shanzhou as his fief. However, all civil and military officials knew that this was conditional. The condition was that Chen Chu had to build Shanzhou as prosperous as Lanzhou. But now the agreed period has passed. According to Xu Aiqing and others, Chen Chu did not complete the agreement. I was the king of the Tang Dynasty, and I said nothing. Therefore, I decided to take back the throne and fief of Chen Chu. At the same time, because Chen Chu did not complete the agreement, it was a deception to the emperor and the emperor. He specially took all the industries of Xi Datang Company in Shanzhou to the court, and the coal mines, salt wells, salt ponds, etc. of Xi Datang Company were all taken back. This was a punishment for Chen Chu to serve as a warning. This matter was handed over to the three provinces, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to complete it together."

What?

Will all the Xidatang Company's industries in Shanzhou be taken away?

Coal mines, salt wells, etc. are also taken away?

Others think it's nothing.

But Xu Wei suddenly felt like the sky fell.

As we all know, the reason why Xidatang Company makes money is that it relies on cotton cloth, fine salt, and coal mines.

Now, His Majesty Li Er takes away all these foundations as soon as he takes action.

Then Xidatang Company has only one empty shell left!

In this way, wouldn’t the Xidatang Company, which King Jing and others spent a lot of effort, really be worthless?

Xu Wei is stupid!

He quickly stood up and didn't have time to rub his numb legs. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, no, I just asked Your Majesty to take back the title and fief of Ping Xibo, and did not say that he would touch the Xi Datang Company..."

Li Er snorted coldly and said, "You didn't say anything. This is my idea. Chen Chu did not complete the task I assigned him. This is to deceive the emperor and ignore the emperor."

The saying of deceiving the king and ignoring the superior blocked Xu Wei's way of making excuses.

Throughout the dynasties, deceiving the king and ignoring the superiors is a serious crime. If you need to investigate it carefully, it is not an exaggeration to behead you. What's wrong with collecting some industries?

Xu Wei suddenly felt anxious.

He wanted to report the matter to King Jing immediately and ask King Jing to stop purchasing the Xidatang Company.

The current Xidatang Company is not worth it, not to mention one million coins, even two hundred thousand coins.

His eyes rolled, he suddenly covered his chest, gasped heavily, and said, "...Your Majesty... I suddenly became ill, please allow me to retreat first..."

It really can't be delayed for a moment!

Li Er stared at Xu Wei and said, "Xu Aiqing is very ill. Come on, please let the people from the Imperial Medical Department come to treat it."

Xu Wei was anxious: "Your Majesty, there is no need to, I will take my leave and go out for a rest."

Li Er smiled and said, "Xu Aiqing, you are a pillar of the country. If something goes wrong, how can I feel wrong in my heart? You can't be so hasty. Come and go to the imperial physician Xuan."

In theory, Xu Wei should be very moved by the fact that he was so concerned about an emperor.

But he really couldn't move now.

His expression changed drastically!

Sweat drips on the head.

It looks like he is seriously ill.

Not long after, the two imperial physicians came in a hurry and pulled Xu Wei out.

Xu Wei came outside.

He hurriedly took out two pieces of silver and stuffed it into the imperial physician's hand.

"No need to bother the two imperial physicians, I'll take a break here!"

"I'm so kind, please accept it."

In the Tang Dynasty, gold and silver were not common currencies, but they were of high value.

Ordinary people, when they see two pieces of silver, they are afraid that their eyes will shine.

Who knew that those two imperial physicians pushed them back without even seeing them.

Then, without saying a word, dragged Xu Wei away to the Imperial Medical Office.

Xu Wei tried his best, but he did not get out of here.

Lying on the bed of the Imperial Medical Department.

He was completely disappointed.

Let me go!

I want to tell King Jing about this.

I want to cry without tears!

"Now, I have to wait for the morning court to retreat as soon as possible."

"King Jing has always been alert, and he must have sent someone to stare at the morning court."

"If he learns the news, he should give up buying Xidatang Company as soon as possible!"

"Yes, it will definitely be like this!"

This is the last glimmer of hope that Xu Wei holds.

...

In the Liangyi Hall.

After Xu Wei left, there were very few ministers, who were in the same mood as Xu Wei, and they were eager to quit the court immediately.

Because they had some contacts with King Jing, now they naturally think of King Jing buying the Xidatang Company. Not only did they feel uncomfortable making money, but they were a big deal that lost money.

If you can tell King Jing about the news as soon as possible, you can still save face.

For a moment, everyone had their own thoughts.

Many people are looking forward to Li Er retreating to the court immediately.

As the discussion was approaching, the matter was coming to an end.

It is about to disperse the dynasty.

Who would have thought that something happened at this time?

...
Chapter completed!
