Late at night, the Supreme Court's prison was brightly lit.
Separated by the iron fence, the monarch and his subjects were like fire and water.
Xiao Yu, Duke of Song, was caught in the middle and stomped his feet anxiously.
"Your Majesty, Brother Wei, can't the two of you talk nicely?”
"No!"
The two of them said almost in unison.
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth.”
Wei Zheng also retorted sarcastically,"As a monarch, how can you govern a country like this?"”
Li Shi Min was so angry that his lips were trembling. His temper was also rising. He couldn't enter the cell, so he sat down at the door.
"Good, good, good. Wei Xuancheng, zhen wants to hear it. What did zhen do wrong in governing the country?”
Wei Zheng smiled coldly." It's rare that Your Majesty is willing to listen to me. Then I'll say it properly."”
"Let's talk about internal affairs first!"
"After the Five Families and Seven Wangs Families were massacred, the power of the world returned to the Emperor. This is such a good opportunity, but you allowed the Zhangsun Clan to grow.”
"The aristocrats in the world are now led by Zhangsun. In the court, more than half of the officials are descendants or disciples of the Zhangsun clan!”
"There are faint signs of the great families reviving!”
"That Zhangsun Wuji's Duke Zhao Residence has a line of people who send gifts to him every day!”
"A scholar from a Humble Class, just because he couldn't afford gifts, he became a county magistrate at the border for three years!”
"I've gone through this three times to ask His Majesty to remove Zhangsun Wuji from his position as Minister of Personnel!”
"But how did you treat it?"
"Raise your palm high and gently lower it!”
"Just because Zhangsun Wuji is the country's uncle?”
Wei Zheng was furious. He was imprisoned by Li Shiming because of this.
He had impeached Zhangsun Wuji three times and asked for Li Shimin to be removed from his position as Minister of Personnel. However, Li Shimin had never given him a clear attitude, so he had caused a ruckus in Taiji Palace.
He even directly tore off Zhangsun Wuji's official hat and embarrassed Li Shimin and Zhangsun Wuji in front of them.
Li Shi Min's face turned ugly. He opened his mouth but swallowed his words.
In the end, he could only sigh deeply.”
Three years ago, Lin Chuan left Chang 'an, and his subordinates, Li Jing and Li Ji, also left one after another.
Most of the officials who had received Lin Chuan's kindness also left behind their official robes and left with a flick of their sleeves.
The poor scholars promoted by Lin Chuan were even more noisy, scolding Li Shimin for his stupidity.
The imperial court was almost paralyzed in those few days.
But at this moment, Zhangsun Wuji entered the trap.
He quickly arranged for his clansmen to enter the Imperial Court.
It had to be said that these people from the Zhangsun Clan had extraordinary abilities. Zhangsun Wuji was a sunshine person.
These Zhangsun clansmen or people who recommended them quickly handled the matter in an orderly manner.
The Imperial Court had also successfully overcome this crisis.
The people he arranged were also deeply appreciated by Li Shimin. Not only were they not dismissed, but they were also promoted again and again.
Just like that, the Zhangsun Clan's power grew.
It was too late.
It was not an easy task to take down the Zhangsun Clan in one go at this time.
Especially if he were to touch Zhangsun Wuji's position as Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, it would stimulate everyone's nerves.
However, how could he speak to Wei Zheng?
Could it be that Lin Chuan had left Chang 'an and caused this?
When Wei Zheng heard this, he would definitely retort.
Serves him right!
Wei Zheng looked at Li Shiming's troubled expression and remained unmoved.
He continued.
"Now that we've finished talking about internal affairs, let's talk about external enemies.”
"Your Majesty has agreed to the marriage alliance with the Tubo, right?”
"In the spring of next year, the Tibetan diplomatic mission will probably arrive, right?”
"Your Majesty, do you remember what Lin Shuai said?”
Li Shi Min fell silent.
He clenched his fists tightly and then loosened them. Finally, he shook his head helplessly.
"I remember!"
"No land, no reparations, no submission, no marriage, no tribute. The emperor guards the gate, and the king dies!”
Wei Zheng, who was in the cell, closed his eyes. He was extremely heartbroken and emotional. He said in a hoarse voice,"Yes, this sentence is still soul-stirring when I read it today!”
"But what about His Majesty?"
"Did you do it?"
Li Shi Min's heart trembled and his lips trembled.
"Zhen…Zhen has let down Lin Shuai."
He choked. The Son of Heaven guarded the country gates, and the King died for the country. How could he not want to?
However, when he had no useful generals under him and no experienced soldiers in the army, how could he dare to take this risk?
Using Lin Shuai's ten years of hard work to create the Great Tang to gamble?
He didn't dare!
He had made enough mistakes!
If he lost his territory again, how would he have the face to meet Lin Shuai?
However, he still couldn't tell Wei Zheng about this.
He was the one who forced Lin Shuai away!
He was the one who had caused the soldiers to feel cold!
Li Shi Min stood up without saying a word.
After a long time, he bowed deeply to Wei Zheng.
"Xuancheng, you didn't disappoint Lin Shuai. You have done your best for the Great Tang and Us.”
"I've let you down!"
Li Shi Min turned around and left.
His originally tall and straight back seemed a little hunched in the night.
After he left, Wei Zheng slowly opened his eyes.
He mumbled," The emperor guards the gates, the ruler dies for the country. As for Lin Shuai, where are you now?"”

As for the protagonist's attitude, I have already stated it clearly in the previous 12 chapters. The protagonist's character has also decided that he will not accept any apology from Li Shiming.
