As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, two more eunuchs 'voices came from outside the hall.
It was rare for so many officials to seek an audience at the same time in the middle of the night.
Li Shi Min finally felt that something was wrong. He frowned.
"Let them all come in to see me."
Finally, Li Shi Min said.
After a while, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Zhangsun Wuji, and Gao Shilian walked in.
"Tell me, why are you here so late?”
Li Shi Min sat on the dragon throne, his cold gaze sweeping across the five people below.
He hated it the most when the officials in the court fought openly and secretly.
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Great General of the Right Marquis, the governor of the same province, Yuchi Jingde. He is lawless and dares to kidnap the people on the streets.”
Fang Xuanling was the first to step out, then cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach the Great General of the Right Marquis, the governor of Tongzhou, Yuchi Jingde. He knowingly broke the law and his crime is unforgivable.”
Wei Zheng also stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach the Great General of the Right Marquis, the governor of Tongzhou, Yuchi Jingde. He has ignored the laws of the Great Tang and abducted the people on the streets.”
Gao Shilian also stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach the Great General of the Right Marquis, the Governor of Tongzhou, Yuchi Jingde. He is arrogant because of his work and because of his favor. He plundered the people on the streets and is a disgrace to the soldiers of the Great Tang.”
Zhangsun Wuji also stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach the Great General of the Right Marquis, the governor of Tongzhou, Yuchi Jingde. He has disregarded the law and kidnapped the people.”
Li Chunfeng was a little confused. He had originally entered the palace to impeach Yuchi Jingde in order to save Li Yi.
But he truly hadn't expected that so many people would come to impeach Yuchi Jingde with him. They were all top-notch civil officials who represented half of the Great Tang.
The Left Prime Minister, the Right Prime Minister, the Attendant, the Minister of Personnel…
What did Li Yi do to make these officials stand up for him?
At this moment, Li Chunfeng was not the only one who was confused.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian, and Zhangsun Wuji were all confused.
They originally thought that they were the only ones who came to the palace to impeach Yuchi Jingde.
They did not expect that after entering the palace, they discovered that it was not just them who impeached Yuchi Jingde, but five people.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Gao Shilian recalled what their son had said back then. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that they had all been fooled by their son.
On the contrary, Zhangsun Wuji was secretly rejoicing in his heart.
Originally, it would be quite difficult for him alone to impeach Yuchi Jingde.
However, with the help of Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Gao Shilian, and Li Chunfeng, it would be very easy to knock Yuchi Jingde down.
"What exactly happened?"
Hearing that so many people wanted to impeach Yuchi Jingde and abduct the people, Li Shimin could guess that Yuchi Jingde must have committed some grave crime.
"Could it be that I was too indulgent towards Yuchi Jingde in the past, and now he even dares to kidnap the commoners? If this time, it was confirmed that Yuchi Jingde was forcefully snatching a commoner girl, then this time…”
Li Shi Min's eyes flashed coldly.
This was not the first time Yuchi Jingde had violated the laws of the Great Tang.
Previously, he had beaten up the Royal Highness and mocked the officials of the Imperial Court. He could tolerate all of these, but he could not tolerate the fact that he had forcefully snatched a commoner's daughter.
"Your Majesty, it's like this."
Fang Xuanling stood out.
" Today, General Cheng Yaojin of the Left and General Yuchi Jingde of the Right came to the palace to report to you. However, on the way, they met a storyteller. General Cheng Yaojin of the Left and General Yuchi Jingde of the Right were attracted by the storyteller's story. After listening to the story, Yuchi Jingde was bold enough to capture the storyteller on horseback and bring him back to the manor without saying a word. He imprisoned him and restricted his freedom, hoping that the storyteller would keep telling stories to him.”
Fang Xuanling recounted everything he had heard from his son, Fang Jun.
"What is it? There was actually such a thing! Bastard, when did Yuchi Jingde come back? I don't even know. He actually dared to listen to a storyteller on his way to the palace to see me and even snatched the storyteller away. He even forgot to enter the palace. This bastard.”
As expected, Li Shi Min was furious.
"Is the storyteller a man or a woman?”
Suddenly, Li Shiming calmed down and asked Fang Xuanling.
Li Shiming's words stunned Fang Xuanling, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that the Emperor had misunderstood.
"Your Majesty, the storyteller is a man and a monk.”
Fang Xuanling hurriedly explained.
"It's a man and a monk. That's good, that's good.”
Li Shi Min said with a lingering fear.
He was more afraid of the scandal of a Tang general snatching a commoner's daughter.
If such a thing really happened, then even if Buxi imprisoned Yuchi Jingde this time, he would have to give the victim an explanation.
At this moment, Li Shi Min suddenly remembered.
Two days ago, his uncle, Zhangsun Wuji, was late when they were discussing important matters. It seemed that it was because he met a storyteller monk on the way.
Could this monk be that monk?
Thus, Li Shiming turned his gaze to Zhangsun Wuji and asked,""Imperial Uncle, the storytelling monk that was abducted by Yuchi Jingde, could it be the storytelling monk that made you late for the meeting last time?”
Zhangsun Wuji didn't dare to deceive Li Shimin and cupped his hands,""Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."
"Tsk tsk! There was such a strange storyteller in the world?”Li Shi Min suddenly had a strong curiosity towards Li Yi.
He wanted to know what kind of storytelling monk could make his uncle, Zhangsun Wuji, late for a military meeting.
He could make Great General Yuchi Jingde, who had just returned to the capital and was on his way to the palace to report on his work, go against the laws of the Great Tang to abduct and torture him.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that the news had spread throughout Chang 'an recently.
Last night, the poem that he wrote to the Empress and almost made a fool of himself was also rumored to have been written by a monk who had appeared briefly in Xiaoxiang Restaurant. Could it be that this monk had also written it?
Hence, he looked at the few ministers below.""Do you know who wrote those ancient poems that have spread throughout Chang 'an recently?”
Wei Zheng cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty, those ancient poems were also written by that monk." When the monk was composing the poem, the child was beside him and was fortunate enough to witness it with his own eyes.”
Li Shi Min couldn't help but stand up and clap his hands in praise."This kid is a genius."
