Cheng Chuyou walked towards Taiji Palace step by step. At this time, it should be time for morning court.
Li Shiming had deliberately chosen such a time. He was probably going to teach Cheng Chuyou a lesson.
However, Cheng Chuyou didn't care about these things because what he was going to do today was not a small matter.
The ministers and Li Shi Min were in the morning court. A eunuch quietly came to Li Shi Min's side and whispered a few words into his ear.
"Dear ministers, Cheng Chuyou from Lantian County has arrived today. Let us take a good look at this Tang official who imprisoned my nephew!”Li Shiming interrupted the court meeting.
"Let him in." Li Shi Min waved his hand.
"Cheng Chuyou is here!"
Following the eunuch's shout, Cheng Chuyou, who was standing outside the main hall, slowly walked into Taiji Palace.
Cheng Chuyou was expressionless. His official uniform and official seal were neatly placed on the tray in his hand. He walked slowly into Taiji Palace step by step.
The officials had different expressions. Some were surprised, some were puzzled, and some were secretly happy.
Cheng Chuyou was already a baron at the age of ten, and his official rank had reached the fifth rank.
Many people in the hall had been busy for decades, but they had never become a Baron!
To them, Cheng Chuyou did not deserve to be a baron, so they had been helping Zhangsun Wuji to impeach him.
"This humble subject is a man from Lantian County. I am Cheng Chuyou, the supervisor.”
Cheng Chuyou put the tray on the ground, then took three steps back and bowed to Li Shimin.
"What's wrong? What are you doing?”Li Shi Min smiled coldly.
"I don't plan to do anything. I just want to resign.”Cheng Chuyou was expressionless as he said something that moved everyone.
"Resign? Do you want to use your resignation to absolve me of your crimes?”Li Shi Min's expression was a little ugly.
In Li Shiming's mind, he would not allow anyone to go against him, not even his own son!
Now that Cheng Chuyou said that he wanted to resign, this was a slap to his face!
"I don't know what my sin is!" Cheng Chuyou retorted stiffly.
"I wonder what crime you have committed?"
"Good! As expected of a pillar of the Great Tang! As expected of my good subject! Then zhen will read out your crimes to you!”
Li Shi Min slammed the table and stood up from the throne.
He took out a memorial from the table and unfolded it.
"Listen to this memorial and you will understand what your crime is!”
"Zhenguan 3rd year, 3rd month, 21st day, Lantian County male, General Supervisor Cheng Chuyou imprisoned the eldest son of the Zhao State for no reason, and used cruel methods to kill Zhangsun Chong's general!”
"Until the memorial was submitted, Zhangsun Chong was still imprisoned by Cheng Chuyou. It has been more than three days!”
"Look! Look at your crimes!"
After saying that, Li Shiming threw the memorial at Cheng Chuyou.
At this moment, the hall was already silent. No one made a sound.
Cheng Yaojin didn't attend court today. It was either because of other reasons or because he was sick.
Cheng Chuyou smiled and picked up the memorial from the ground. He really opened it and took a look.
After reading it, Cheng Chuyou threw the memorial aside and laughed out loud.
"Hahahahaha, these crimes are indeed true. This lowly subject admits his guilt!”Cheng Chuyou cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Cheng Chuyou's words caused an uproar in the hall.
They had never thought that someone would confess so easily!
"Since you have confessed, then don't blame me!”After saying that, Li Shimin waved his hand and asked someone to take Cheng Chuyou away.
"Hold on, Your Majesty. This lowly subject also has a memorial.”Cheng Chuyou took out a memorial from his pocket.
" A guilty subject dares to submit a memorial?!"
"This humble subject pleads to throw this bastard into prison and await the trial of the Supreme Court!”
A person walked out of the civil servant queue and interrupted Cheng Chuyou's words, directly convicting him of a crime.
Cheng Chuyou had heard of this person before. He was a censor of the Imperial Censorate and was usually very close to the Zhangsun family. It seemed that he was standing up for the Zhangsun family this time.
"Humph! When His Majesty ascended the throne, he said that as long as it was beneficial to the country's construction, anyone could speak.”
"Now that Cheng Xian Nan hasn't been stripped of his official position, you're in a hurry to shut his mouth. What are you doing to His Majesty?”
At this moment, Wei Zheng took a step forward and pointed at the censor's nose as he began to scold him.
Furthermore, the scolding at the end was very unpleasant. It meant that he wanted to kill the entire family of this censor.
In fact, Wei Zheng was not only doing this for Cheng Chuyou, but also for himself.
If Cheng Chuyou couldn't speak this time, then Li Shimin would definitely not listen to any of his reports in the future.
Wei Zheng was preparing for the future.
The censor was scolded by Wei Zheng and was at a loss for what to do. He could only look at Zhangsun Wuji.
Zhangsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and pretended not to see anything.
At this time, Zhangsun Wuji would not take the initiative.
Because Zhangsun Wuji also wanted to see what Cheng Chuyou could say!
"Read!"
Li Shi Min's words set the tone for this matter!
