Li Shiming opened the Tang Ben and began to read it seriously.
This book was very heavy and had a lot of content.
Li Shi Min kept shaking his head as he watched.
Zhangsun Wuji saw this and was overjoyed.
According to his many years of experience, Li Shiming was very disappointed and even angry.
Since the pond was sent by Li Xiao, it must have made Li Shimin very unhappy.
Bang!
There was a loud bang!
Li Shimin slapped the Dragon Book table and it bounced up.
Li Shiming was furious as he glared at Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui.
"You, you dare to say that Wei Wen is an upright official? A good official? The support of the people?"
Li Shi Min roared.
Boom!
Zhangsun Wuji and the others were so shocked that they were stunned on the spot. They were dumbfounded and their hearts were filled with shock.
He subconsciously asked,'What's going on?'
What was written in Tang Ben?
Especially Zhangsun Wuji, he had completely misjudged Li Shiming's emotions and was completely dumbfounded.
However, one thing was for sure. This was the first time Li Shiming had hammered the table with such force. One could imagine how angry he was.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!”
The other ministers also said,""Your Majesty, please calm down. The dragon body is more important!"
Li Shi Min's anger had not subsided, and the anger in his eyes made the atmosphere in the hall very tense.
"Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, the three of you said that Wei Wen is a good official?
"Take a look at the 25 county magistrates of Bingzhou who exposed Rao Dacang! Do you know that Wei Wen is extravagant and licentious, colluding with foreign countries, colluding with Xue Yantuo, and allowing the Tuyuhun people to invade the Great Tang?”
"Do you know that the people of Bing Province have been suffering from all kinds of exorbitant taxes from Wei Wen these past few years? They are complaining everywhere. The people are being killed and the officials are protecting each other! Is this still a good official?"
"Are you blind or are you blind? My Bingzhou will become someone else's exclusive property in his hands in a few years!”
These words silenced the ministers.
They didn't know what was going on in Bingzhou.
The reason why he protected Wei Wen was to attack King Jiang Li Xiao.
Li Shi Min had not expected the situation to turn out like this. He was obviously extremely furious. He was just short of calling the warriors outside the hall to drag them out and beat them up.
At this moment, Wei Zheng slowly walked out of the line, bowed, and said,
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The affairs of Bing Province have always been very chaotic. In the past few years, even the censors have been unable to enter. It can be said that even a needle cannot be inserted into it, and even water cannot be poured in.”
"If it wasn't for His Highness Jiang Wang, I'm afraid that things would have gotten out of hand."
"Now it seems that Your Majesty is very wise to send His Highness King Jiang to manage Bingzhou!”
"As for the culprit, Wei Wen, I remember that he was recommended by Lord Zhangsun to be the governor of Bingzhou in the second year of Zhenguan.”
"Zhangsun Wuji, are you blind? You actually told me that Wei Wen is a rare good official?”
Li Shimin glared at Zhangsun Wuji. The feeling of being cheated was not good.
As the Emperor, Li Shiming felt that his intelligence had been insulted.
Zhangsun Wuji was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale. He stammered,
"Your Majesty, I…I know that Wei Wen has some achievements.”
Li Shi Min said coldly,"
"Political achievements? You're talking about his achievements in making money, right? In Kuang County, a large amount of fertile land was taken by them as they plundered the people's wealth.”
"If this continues, I will tell you that Yang Guang's corpse is still being dried in Yangzhou! Do you want the Great Tang to repeat the mistakes of the Sui Dynasty?”
"Do you want to be Yuwen Huaji by allowing corrupt officials to exploit the people?”
Hearing Li Shiming's words, Zhangsun Wuji, who was terrified, hurriedly bowed and said,"
"This lowly subject does not dare, this lowly subject does not dare. Your Majesty, Wei Wen and this lowly subject have nothing to do with each other. This lowly subject might have heard wrongly.”
Li Shimin was still in a fit of anger. He threw Tang Ben in front of Zhangsun Wuji and said,"
"Take a look yourself and see how Rao Dacang is abusing the people. He is extremely evil and unpardonable. If I find out, I will tear him apart to appease the anger in my heart!”
"How dare you call such a dog official a good official and shamelessly praise him?”
"Can you be a little more fair to Xiao 'er? You can't see Jian Xiao working hard in Bingzhou.”
"You guys are just like the wind and rain. The officialdom of Bingzhou is so corrupt, but you turned a deaf ear to it and even endorsed the corrupt officials.”
At this moment, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were shocked.
Ever since they had followed Li Shi Min, they had never seen him in such an intense mood.
After they saw the Tang Ben that Li Xiao had sent over, they did not dare to believe that Wei Wen's problem was so serious.
There were twenty-five county magistrates in Tang Ben, and Wei Wen's bribery methods were written on it.
Not only did he want money, but he also wanted young girls, even those who were seven or eight years old.
For his own beastly desires, Wei Wen was willing to do anything. The commoners were suffering.
However, he was carrying the heinous crime of constantly exploiting others. If this continued, Bing Province would soon be emptied by him.
The documents written by the county magistrates were very specific.
Some of them even recorded every bribe: On a certain day of a certain month, he sent five thousand wen, a few girls, ten catties of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and so on.
Fang Xuanling's face was pale. He said in panic,"
"Your Majesty, what King Jiang said is too unbelievable.”
"In the past few years, our Ministry of Central Affairs has never received such a Tang book, so…"
Bang!
Before Fang Xuanling could finish his sentence, Li Shimin slammed the table again and said angrily,
"There are witnesses and evidence, and you still want to collude with each other? This is simply preposterous!"
Li Shi Min was burning with rage. Bing Province was where the Li family's dragon vein was located.
The geographical location was also so crucial. To the north was the Turkic Xue Yantuo, and to the west was the Tubo Tuyuhun.
The officialdom was so rotten that everyone was in a dead position.
If it was given time, Chang 'an would be seriously threatened.
Seeing Li Shimin's furious expression, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui didn't dare to quibble anymore.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I deserve to die!"
They didn't dare to whitewash the old officialdom of Bingzhou.
If she went against him in a fit of anger, she might be killed by him.
In fact, the officialdom of Bingzhou was very corrupt, but Wei Wen had made it look appalling.
Even Zhangsun Wuji did not expect that Wei Wen would hide it from him. This was his own dog.
Zhangsun Wuji trusted Wei Wen not because he was outstanding, but because he knew how to flatter and listen to him.
Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui regretted it even more than Zhangsun Wuji. They had been deceived by Zhangsun Wuji.
Now, not only had they offended the Emperor, but they had also blocked the blade for Zhangsun Wuji. The two of them glared at Zhangsun Wuji at the same time.
Zhangsun Wuji instantly felt like he had lost all hope.
