"Heh, can't?"
"Since you've come to the Great Tang, you must abide by the laws of the Great Tang!”
"In layman's terms, if it's a dragon coiling up for me, it's a tiger lying down for me.”
"Those who violate the rules will be punished. Your king can't protect you.”
Li Yuanfang's cold voice was right on everyone's mind.
"Well said, isn't that the truth!”
"Haha, this is the domineering aura our Great Tang deserves!”
“……”
The civil and military officials cheered endlessly.
Li Shi Min's eyebrows twitched slightly as he said firmly.
"I have already given you a chance. If you don't make a scene today, you still have a chance to return home alive.”
"Men, bring these people to the market and execute them. The bigger the commotion, the better.”
"Minister of Justice and Minister of Chamberlain of Dependencies, go and supervise the execution!!!”
As the orders were given, the Imperial Army dragged the Wei Nation's diplomatic mission away. The officials who were called out had solemn expressions as they bid farewell to Li Shimin and rushed to the execution ground.
At this point, there was no outsider in Taiji Palace. Everyone present was a Tang.
Li Shi Min frowned slightly and coldly ordered the officials.
"Wu Hou, listen up. Capture the officials who helped the foreign diplomatic mission to distort the truth and put them in the imperial prison.”
"Yes!"
The Martial Marquises 'expressions turned solemn, and their movements were nimble as they knocked down all their targets.
Li Shimin didn't stop talking.
"Where is the Minister of Judicial Review?"
"Your subject is here!"
"Immediately dispatch people to thoroughly investigate these people's residences. We will investigate as soon as possible. Are these people greedy for money or have they already betrayed the country?”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
The Supreme Court official nodded solemnly and hurried back to the yamen to handle his affairs.
Li Yuanfang suddenly stopped him.
"Minister of the Supreme Court, don't leave!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that not only the officials themselves, but their relatives and friends are also in prison. After investigation, they can only be released if there are no problems.”
The 'convicted' official shouted loudly.
"No, we're just dumbfounded. Please show mercy, Your Majesty.”
"Your Majesty, Prince Zhou is using his official position to take revenge, I beg you to show mercy.”
“……”
Li Yuanfang sneered, too lazy to waste his breath on these people.
On the contrary, when Li Shi Min saw this scene, he somehow thought of Li Yuan Fang's masterpiece.
Those officials who had been tricked and had no choice but to stand in the same trench as them, aggrieved and depressed.
In terms of listing crimes, no one could compare to the aristocratic families.
Suddenly, Li Shiming rolled his eyes and asked Cui Boming a question with a smile.
"Lord Cui is one of the victims of this incident. Explain to them what crime they have committed so that they can die with an explanation!”
Cui Boming, who was suddenly called out, had an ugly expression on his face. He felt very aggrieved.
"First, a corpse who eats nothing, unable to distinguish right from wrong, unworthy of being an official.”
"Second, to achieve your goal, you will not choose a hand. For the sake of benefits, you will abandon your bottom line as a person.”
"Third, the emperor is not loyal to the country and has placed his relatives and friends in an unjust place.”
"Fourth, frame the current prince…"
“……”
In total, there were more than a dozen crimes listed.
Li Yuanfang looked at Cui Boming thoughtfully and sighed softly.
"Fortunately, the aristocratic families didn't enter the battlefield. Otherwise, I would have died.”
"Uh…in terms of eloquence, you can't beat them at the moment.”
Xiao Yu patted his little disciple's shoulder comfortingly.
Li Yuan and Fang Zhen replied earnestly.
"Disciple's knowledge reserves are not enough. In the future, Master, please guide me!”
"Ah, that's easy. I'll leave everything I know to you. As long as you can learn it.”
Xiao Yu smiled nonchalantly. Who didn't like to have a disciple who surpassed his master?
While the master and disciple were chatting, the bureaucrats who were being accused of crimes were so angry that they were spitting blood.
To be honest, it was the aristocratic families who understood the temperament of the literati. They targeted one accurately.
Starting from the reputation and integrity that the officials valued the most, the crimes were vicious.
It wasn't so easy to clear his name in ancient times, and it really confirmed the crimes listed by Cui Boming.
The Great Tang could not tolerate them. Not only would they die, but they would also be notorious for ten thousand years.
Seeing these officials faint from anger, Li Shi Min kindly asked Feng Le to call for a doctor.
Li Yuanfang acted as if nothing had happened, standing at the back of the crowd and watching coldly.
After being framed for the second time.
Li Yuanfang urgently understood that he had to get some trump cards. Otherwise, he could only pretend to be ferocious in order to scare everyone away from him.
Even if he was infamous, he would only be able to shock a portion of people. He would not be afraid of those who were truly high-ranking officials, nobles, and aristocratic families.
Therefore, taking advantage of today's matter, Li Yuanfang was prepared to forge himself into a knife rolling meat. He had a ready-made template that could be used as a reference at any time, and that was the devil of chaos, Cheng Yaojin.
Moreover, the aristocratic families wanted to be above the imperial power, while the royal family wanted to crush the aristocratic families. The struggle between the two was like the wind.
Today, the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, and tomorrow, the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.
If the royal family wanted to win, the first problem they had to face was the knowledge that had been monopolized by the aristocratic families for a long time.
However, this point…was not far away.
……
Putting aside the troubles in the court, Li Yuanfang, who had returned home, completely relaxed. He gathered everyone to discuss the matter of opening a shop.
Ahem, in the eyes of outsiders, the family did not have a main source of income. Chun Xing had complained before that some servants were afraid that the residence would not be able to give out monthly money after spring, so they secretly sighed every day.
"The shop is in Xi City. I will arrange for the Shi brothers to renovate the shop according to my design. The snack shop will officially start in a few days.”
"Pastry shop? Sell a higher price?" Manager Lin Zhong frowned slightly.
"No, I'm only buying candy for now!" Li Yuanfang smiled mysteriously and then let Chun Xing go to the finished products for everyone to taste.
Once they tasted the new candy, everyone was full of confidence in this business.
This made Bai Fu's sigh sound even more out of place.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuanfang asked with concern.
"That shop has some disputes with the neighboring shop.”Bai Fu forced a smile at Li Yuanfang.
"What kind of dispute?" Li Yuanfang frowned. He had never heard of such a thing before.
"Someone has taken a fancy to our shop and threatened to buy it for expansion.”Bai Fu finally couldn't help but complain.
"Expansion?" Li Yuanfang felt a little strange. What was the expansion for?
"The shopkeeper next door insisted on buying our shop at a low price and then expanding his tavern.”" That tavern has a lot of guests," Bai Fu smiled bitterly." This old servant is very worried that someone will come and cause trouble after the tavern opens."”
Lin Zhong looked at Bai Fu in shock.
"His Highness is a prince. Don't those people give face to the Zhou Prince's mansion?”
"There are many nobles in Chang 'an. Even a prince's shop can't handle people coming to make trouble every three to five days.”
Bai Fu glanced at Lin Zhong and shrugged helplessly.
