Chang 'an City, Daming Palace, in the royal study.
"Your Majesty, this subject dares to remonstrate. The punishment for the Crown Prince is really too heavy.”Wei Zheng said.
"That's right, what's wrong with the Crown Prince? It's all that Ye Qiu's fault. That Ye Qiu is simply too impudent. He even dares to snatch the current Crown Prince. If this continues, how terrible would it be? I'm willing to request permission to lead the army to attack Ye Qiu.”Hou Junji said.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed a little impulsive this time and betrayed His Majesty. However, the punishment of making him face the wall for three years is too heavy.”Fang Xuanling added.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject thinks that Ye Qiu didn't do anything wrong. The Crown Prince, as the crown prince of a country, actually sent people to deal with the commoners.”Qin Qiong held the opposite opinion.
"Qin Qiong, what do you mean? Don't forget your status. You're an official of the Great Tang, so why are you speaking to Ye Qiu?”Hou Junji cursed.
"Hou Junji, don't slander me.”Qin Qiong said without giving in.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Regarding the matter of the Crown Prince, Zhen has already come to a conclusion.”
At this moment, Li Shiming was in a bad mood. Or rather, he had been in a bad mood ever since Li Chengqian returned.
He had never thought that Ye Qiu would dare to strip the Crown Prince naked and make him return to Chang 'an dejectedly.
Although he already had some understanding of the process of this matter, it was all because Li Chengqian had attacked the commoners for no reason, which led to Ye Qiu's anger.
But Li Chengqian was still his son, the Crown Prince of the Great Tang.
To treat Li Chengqian like that, wouldn't that be slapping Li Shiming's face?
At the same time, he was also very disappointed with Li Chengqian. Before Li Chengqian left, he had already repeatedly reminded him. He did not expect Li Chengqian to actually do such a thing in the end.
"I called you here today not to ask you to plead for mercy on behalf of the Crown Prince, but to think of a way to resolve the matter of Ye Qiu in Guangyang county.”Li Shi Min said.
Ever since Li Chengqian returned, Li Shiming had paid special attention to the matters in Guangyang County.
Furthermore, he already knew that Liang Qianqiu had brought two million taels of silver to Ye Qiu.
Li Shi Min was really worried that Ye Qiu and Liang shi would get together.
If it really developed to that extent, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Back then, Li Shi Min had repeatedly stopped attacking Ye Qiu because he was afraid of this outcome.
"Your Majesty, this lowly subject believes that Ye Qiu will never cooperate with Liang Shidu.”Qin Qiong said.
"Bullsh * t, Liang Qianqiu has already brought two million for him to recruit soldiers. Your Majesty, this humble subject thinks that this matter should be done sooner rather than later. We have to quickly eliminate Ye Qiu. Otherwise, when he recruits soldiers, it will be even more difficult for us.”Hou Junji said.
Qin Qiong frowned as she looked at Hou Junji."Duke Chen, you keep saying that Ye Qiu will work with Liang Shidu, but do you know where the two million taels of silver that Ye Qiu scammed went?”
"I don't care where he went. All I know is that if Ye Qiu isn't eliminated, our Great Tang will never have peace.”
Qin Qiong shook her head, too lazy to argue with Hou Junji.
"Your Majesty, this is the information I gathered from Guangyang County. You will know after reading this.”
As he spoke, Qin Qiong directly handed over a thick memorial.
After reading the thick memorial, Li Shi Min couldn't help but laugh.
" Interesting, interesting. This Ye Qiu is really too interesting. He's practically cheating a god. Just like that, he cheated Liang shi out of more than two million taels of silver.”
The matter written in the memorial was very simple. It was nothing more than Ye Qiu using the excuse of recruiting soldiers to extort two million taels of silver from Liang Shidu. However, he did not use the silver to recruit a soldier. Instead, he used it on the ordinary people of Guangyang County.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly laugh?" Fang Xuanling and the others hurriedly asked.
"You'll know after you read it."
As he spoke, Li Shiming handed the memorial Qin Qiong had presented to Fang Xuanling and the others.
Fang Xuanling and the others couldn't help but laugh after reading it.
"Your Majesty, you don't know, but Ye Qiu has been focusing on the people's livelihood in Guangyang County. Not only did he introduce the farmland system, but he also used his own money to harvest grain from the four roads of Jiangnan and distribute it to the farmers below, so that they have land to grow. He also doesn't collect taxes. Do you know what the people of Guangyang County call him now?”
Ever since he returned from Autumn Wind Stronghold, Qin Qiong had paid special attention to Ye Qiu. He had investigated everything that had happened to Ye Qiu in recent times.
"The people of Guangyang County call him Ye Qingtian, saying that he is a Bodhisattva sent by God to save them. How could a person who was dedicated to the people rebel and cause the people to suffer?”Qin Qiong said.
"Duke Zheng is right. I don't believe that Ye Qiu will cooperate with Liang Shidu. However, Your Majesty, the more Ye Qiu acts like this, the greater the threat he poses to us. The people's hearts are on his side, and if we don't respond, it's hard to guarantee that he won't become the second Liang Shidu.”Wei Zheng said.
"Minister Wei is right, so this Ye Qiu cannot be left alive.”Hou Junji said.
"Hou Junji, did Ye Qiu kill your father or harm you? Damn, why do you always want to kill him?”As Ye Qiu's number one fan, seeing Hou Junji like this enraged Qin Qiong.
"Qin Qiong, are you trying to rebel by protecting Ye Qiu so much?”Hou Junji cursed.
"Enough, enough. Can you all let this one be a little quieter? The moment you come here, you're already quarreling. This one wanted you all to come here to find a solution, not to quarrel.”Li Shi Min said.
Everyone was speechless.
"Forget it, forget it. All of you can leave and let me be alone.”
With that, Li Shiming ignored the Tang bones and returned to his bedroom.
"Your Majesty, you must be troubled by Ye Qiu's matter again.”
Empress Zhangsun asked as she looked at Li Shiming's worried face.
"That's right, Guanyin maid, zhen is about to die from this matter.”
"Your Majesty, it's actually very simple to resolve this matter," Empress Zhangsun said with a faint smile.”
Empress Zhangsun whispered something in Li Shimin's ear. Hearing her words, Li Shimin's eyes widened. His face was full of joy, and he immediately hugged Empress Zhangsun and gave her a big kiss.
"Guanyin maidservant, Guanyin maidservant, you're really my good empress, I love you.”
Empress Zhangsun laughed." We're already an old couple. Your Majesty, don't you think it's mushy to say such words?"”
