Chapter 358 Good intentions, ulterior motives

Not long after that, the censor wrote a letter to impeach King Li Ke of Wu, Duke Li Ji of Britain and Marquis of Huaiyang Xie Yi. The content of the impeachment was nothing more than the direct collusion between the three, disloyal to the court and the king, and indiscriminate intentions, etc.

The right of the censor to go to the news and report the news is to catch up with the wind and shadow. Even if he speaks slander, this is their duty and no one can say anything.

The impeached persons cannot say anything, nor can they retaliate. As for the emperor, they cannot blame the censors, especially the censors in the Tang Dynasty often make direct suggestions. Wei Zheng and others have made His Majesty Li Er blew his beard and glared at him twice, but what can we do?

In order to be a wise monarch, we must endure this tone, and of course, we also fulfilled the reputation of Empress Changsun as a wise queen. Wei Zheng also became famous and created an eternal story of a wise monarch and a wise minister.

Even if the emperor is like this, the ministers will not dare to act rashly. If they are impeached, they must accept it obediently, and then follow the investigation of the court, either prove their innocence or punish them according to the crime.

It was just a rumor. When the censors reported these things to the court, the situation completely changed and things had risen to the national level.

The rebellion of King Li You of Qi may be injustice. Many people do not take such slanderous remarks seriously, but mainly pay attention to the other parties involved.

What should be done to King Li Ke of Wu, Duke of Britain, and Xie Yi of Huaiyang Hou?

Logically speaking, after being impeached, officials usually temporarily give up their power, go home and leave behind closed doors, and wait for the court's investigation to show openness.

This is a rule that has always been done, but this time...

The key is that these people are now in a critical position and are doing very important things. Can things like quelling rebellion stop at any time?

Change coach in front of the formation?

Not to mention whether it will affect the morale of the army, it will take time to send individuals to replace them. Can it be too late and cause much trouble? These situations seem extremely special, not to mention that the British Duke Li Ji, who holds heavy troops. Tens of thousands of troops in Bingzhou are in his hands. They are the generals of the Pillar Kingdom trusted by the emperor. How can they change it just by saying a word?

If something happens to Bingzhou, the consequences will be completely unimaginable, but this is not within the scope of the censors' consideration. They only need to report the news, get out the problem, and leave the problem to His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Shimin naturally received the news early. The rumor was fake and he did not believe it. Because through Yin Fei and Zheng Guanyin, he had clearly grasped the motive for Li You's rebellion and related reasons.

Now that he is wronged? It is a joke. It is obviously a bit too far-fetched and too scammered.

Xie Yi was sent to Qizhou by himself and said that he joined forces with Li Ke to rebel his son, but Li Shimin did not believe that Xie Yi was a person. He knew about Xie Yi. Although he had received help from Li Ke in the past, Xie Yi would never be so confused that he would do such a traitor to repay favors.

Moreover, the relationship between Xie Yi and Li Ke has not yet been so close. There is no doubt that among the princes, Li Zhi, the one with Xie Yi is the best relationship, not Li Ke. Furthermore, His Majesty Li Er also believes in his son Li Ke, and believes that he is loyal and will not do anything to murder his brothers.

Even if Li Ke has any intention, he should not target Li You, but a prince in Chang'an. So this is not in line with common sense. Especially if Li Ji is involved, it seems even more unusual. The other party can be said to have good intentions and ulterior motives!

Returning to Chengqing Palace, Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji who was walking with him and said, "Fuji, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, you want to rebel and disrupt the morale of the army and do despicable plans." Changsun Wuji answered very directly, without any moderate and smoothness, which was obvious. He understood the Emperor's thoughts and answered very well.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The rebels cannot pass Dongping County, so it is not surprising that this move is not surprising. I am not so confused yet..."

"Your Majesty is wise." Changsun Wuji smiled faintly and gave him a flattery.

Li Shimin smiled, then his face changed slightly, and he asked, "Do you think this matter is just a rebellious and false accusation, or do someone take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"

Changsun Wuji's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This sentence was not simple, and even asked a little bit heartbroken. These censors reported the news must have been a false accusation of rebellion. Changsun Wuji was very sure and could admit it with ease without hesitation.

But His Majesty the Emperor obviously doesn't just think so. Now it seems that someone is taking advantage of the situation and trying to gain some benefits in the chaos, or even having an ulterior motive.

Who has such a motive, or who is the Emperor suspicious of whom? How can you not know about Changsun Wuji's scheming? Just need to move a little and think about it immediately, and then you will feel terrified when you think about it carefully.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid." Changsun Wuji pondered for a moment and gave such an answer.

Li Shimin frowned and said nothing. Perhaps Changsun Wuji's answer was completely within his expectations.

Changsun Wuji also responded with silence. For a moment, the atmosphere in Chengqing Palace was a bit strange, indeed a bit strange.

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

"Thank you for your understanding." Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then what should be done about this matter? Please tell me."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Let them continue to make trouble. You are arranging a few people to impeach and continue to make trouble for this matter. I will not give any instructions for the time being."

"Uh, Your Majesty's meaning is..." Changsun Wuji was startled at first, and then roughly understood His Majesty Li Er's meaning, but he still asked out of politeness.

"You can't let someone spend so much effort but gain nothing, and you will be disappointed soon? At the same time, tell Li Ji that Li Ke and Xie Yi that I trust them as usual, and they should know what to do."

Li Shimin said leisurely: "I also want to see who is taking advantage of the situation and deliberately making trouble. Without my permission, I want to take advantage of the situation. I really don't know how to live or die."

Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the emperor had this idea more than he liked. In this way, this matter might be...

At this moment, he really felt a little sympathetic to those who took advantage of the problem. It can be seen that the emperor defined a large number of people in his heart! Such a huge thing can only be followed by the sages, and it is no longer something that a minister can get involved. Even if he is Sikong and the uncle of the dynasty, he does not have the qualifications and cannot participate in it.
