According to the procedure, he first read some memorials, then discussed with the officials. At the end of the morning court session, Li Shimin finally got to the main topic.
He looked at the officials and said.
"Are all the beloved ministers alright?"
The courtiers were stunned and then shook their heads. However, they were curious. What was His Majesty trying to do?
Li Shi Min smiled and suddenly shouted at the screen behind him.
"Come out."
The gazes of all the officials in the court were drawn over. A figure slowly walked out from behind the screen.
When they saw this figure, everyone was stunned.
"Li Changge!"
The one who had the biggest reaction was undoubtedly the Crown Prince, Li Chenghao.
He was standing beside Li Shiming, and when he saw Li Changge slowly walk out from behind the screen, he was completely stunned.
During this period of time, he had mobilized all his strength to capture Li Changge.
Because Li Changge was the first person to make him lose face, he was prepared to torture Li Changge after capturing him.
However, he never expected Li Changge to appear here.
Where was this place? This was the palace!
In their minds, no matter how powerful Li Changge was, it was impossible for him to sneak into the palace. Seeing Li Shiming's performance, they had an unbelievable thought.
"Could it be that Li Changge has been hiding in the palace all this time?”
This was only reasonable. They had gone to capture Li Changge with great fanfare, but they could not find him. There was only one explanation. Li Changge had probably been hiding in the palace all this time.
"Imperial Father, what's going on? Why was this wanted criminal in the palace?”
Li Cheng Xin seemed to have lost his mind, which was why even the words he asked were filled with doubt.
As expected, Zhangsun Wuji's expression changed slightly.
Li Shi Min's expression was cold as he looked at Li Cheng Xin and said in a deep voice.
"Do I need you to care what I do?”
Li Cheng Xin's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly lowered his head.
"Your son does not dare."
In fact, he was extremely angry. He was even asking himself if he was still Li Shiming's son. Why was Li Shiming so nice to this outsider?
Could it be because his name was the same as his ninth brother who had passed away?
Li Shi Min didn't care about what Li Cheng Xin was thinking, he just looked at the officials and said.
"Zhen sees that it's about time, so let's just lay it out.”
"Changge going to kidnap the bride was actually something that Zhen discussed with him.”
"Because We need a reason, a reason to start a war with the Tibetans. Now that the Great Tang and the Tibetans have started a war, our goal has been achieved, so there is no need to hide this matter.”
After saying that, Li Shimin looked at Li Changge.
"It's Changge who has been wronged during this period of time. He has suffered injustice. In fact, he has been bearing the burden for me!”
Li Shimin's words made Li Changge feel strange. What was going on?
Li Shiming actually did it. Up until now, Li Changge had not seen any clues.
Li Shiming seemed to be sincere in doing this. He didn't have any ulterior motives, nor did he seem to have any conspiracy.
But why bother? What was his motive for doing this?
Li Changge finally understood what it meant to have the heart of an emperor. He really couldn't guess what Li Shiming was thinking.
After hearing Li Shi Min's words, all the officials looked at each other.
What should they say? Although it was unbelievable, they thought about it carefully. Since Li Shi Min said it, it shouldn't be fake.
After all, this concerned Li Shi Min's reputation. They knew Li Shi Min the best, and he valued his reputation very much.
So Li Shiming should not be lying. This matter should be instigated by him, but why?
Was it really to start a war with the Tibetans? But why wasn't he prepared at all? This wasn't Li Shiming's style!
At the very least, they had to prepare for the war and then use their strategy to start the war!
Before this, there was no news of war. What was His Majesty thinking this time?
Only Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui exchanged a glance, the suspicion in their eyes deepening.
What happened next was very obvious. Li Shimin was criticized by the censors!
Especially Wei Zheng, he was furious and scolded Li Shimin in the court. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin was not angry.
In the face of Wei Zheng's criticism, he actually chose to be humble and accept his advice. This made Wei Zheng feel strange. It wasn't like this in the past!
All in all, the matter of the bride kidnapping was settled after the morning court session.
It seemed like a child's play. Such a huge diplomatic incident between the two countries was actually caused by the Emperor of the Great Tang himself.
Li Shimin had no intention of hiding this matter, and not only the officials of the court, but even the common people didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
There were indeed many people who criticized Li Shiming, but it was not a big deal.
After all, since the Zhenguan period, the lives of the common people had been getting better and better day by day. They were still very grateful to Li Shimin.
As such, this matter only needed a little work and the storm gradually calmed down.
At the center of the matter, Li Changge was criticized by the world for completing Li Shiming's mission perfectly and even 'enduring humiliation and burden'.
As such, Li Shimin was extremely moved and directly bestowed Li Changge with an official position.
The Great General of the Royal Guards! He was the legendary commander of the Imperial Army!
This was a third-grade official position! The current Imperial Guards were transferred from the Black Armored Army and could be said to be Li Shiming's trusted aides.
To be honest, many people coveted such an important official position.
However, everyone knew that such an important official position could only be obtained by Li Shiming's most trusted person.
However, no one had expected that this official position of the third rank would actually be given to Li Changge.
Just because he did such a thing and was framed a little, was that enough?
However, Li Shimin explained that he had been training Li Changge since he was young. With that said, many people shut up.
This was because it would be easier to explain. The position of the Great General of the Royal Guards was originally given to someone he trusted.
He didn't need to be powerful, he just needed to be loyal to the Emperor.
It was said that when this matter reached the Eastern Palace, Li Cheng Xin immediately vomited blood because he had always coveted this position.
He had always wanted his trusted aide to become one of them, but he had never dared to mention it to Li Shi Min, because the Royal Guards were Li Shi Min's last stronghold.
He didn't expect that he would give it to Li Changge, the person he had never dealt with!
The current Li Changge could be considered to have transformed from an ordinary person to a powerful figure in the court, the Great General of the Royal Guards!
The Great Tang Imperial Army was divided into the Sixteen Guards, and the former Imperial Guards were the Black Armored Army, which was an organization other than the Sixteen Guards.
The great generals of the Sixteen Guards were all of the third rank, and were usually held by the founding dukes of the court.
For example, Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and the others.
As for the Royal Guards, they were an existence outside of the 16 Guards. They were the army closest to the Emperor. Their predecessor was the Black Armored Army. In terms of status, they were above the 16 Guards.
The Royal Guards didn't have a general, only a few commanders. The real commander was Li Shimin.
Now that he had given it to Li Changge, his status had directly jumped to the level of the founding minister of the court!
It could be said that the entire court was in an uproar, but Li Shiming's words made them not dare to say anything.
