The Administrative Hall!
Empress Zhangsun's bedchamber!
Although Zhangsun Wuji was Empress Zhangsun's elder brother, he could not trespass without the Emperor's decree!
But tonight!
Zhangsun Wuji came here overnight!
Obviously, it was for a big matter!
"BenGong already knows about the matter of the King of Shu. Brother, you don't have to say anything."
After seeing Zhangsun Wuji, Empress Zhangsun waved her hand!
Since Empress Zhangsun was known as the Empress Sage of the ages, her methods were naturally extremely shocking!
"BenGong also investigated! That night, Concubine Yang was supposed to be in the bedroom, so His Majesty went to Concubine Yang's bedroom!”
"But His Majesty only had a meal in Concubine Yang's palace!”
"After the meal, His Majesty went straight to the Dew Palace and did not stay at Concubine Yang's place!”
Empress Zhangsun said slowly.
Empress Zhangsun's meaning was clear. His Majesty was not tempted by Concubine Yang's beauty!
Zhangsun Wuji was surprised." Then what went wrong?”
Empress Zhangsun muttered," What about the King of Shu? Could it be that the King of Shu had done something that shocked His Majesty?”
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head." My men have been waiting outside the King Shu Residence at night, monitoring him day and night!
He only saw the King of Shu sleeping every day and did not do anything shocking!”
"Hiss!"
Empress Zhangsun gasped!
He was speechless!
The King of Shu could be conferred the title of Heavenly Strategy Divine General even when he slept every day!
If he continued sleeping, he might even replace Li Chengqian as the Crown Prince!
"Empress, the King of Shu must be eliminated! We can't let him threaten the Crown Prince!" Zhangsun Wuji's face was filled with ruthlessness!
Empress Zhangsun naturally understood the stakes!
She nodded slightly.
"We will slowly figure this out! His Majesty is not stupid. If you go too far, be careful not to be convicted of treason!”
Zhangsun Shi and his sister had a good discussion.
Zhangsun Wuji only left the Political Hall when it was almost midnight!
……
Dew Palace!
Li Shi Min had just finished reading the memorials submitted by the Shangshu Province!
Li Junxian quickly walked forward and recounted what had happened in the Political Establishment Hall.
Li Shi Min shook his head speechlessly,
"These foolish officials! Why did he have to speculate about the Holy Decree?”
"As long as my thoughts are different from theirs, they will quarrel every day and say that I am stupid!”
"Sigh! Teach Zhangsun Wuji a lesson!"
"Let the Hundred Cavalry Division take action! He had to eradicate all those bastards outside Li Ke's residence!”
"In the future, if Zhangsun Wuji and the others dare to set up hidden sentries outside Li Ke's residence, cut them all off!”
Li Junxian immediately nodded in agreement.
But Li Junxian didn't immediately leave.
Instead, he asked softly,"
"Your Majesty, can our Hundred Cavalry Division be outside the King of Shu's Palace?”
Li Shi Min laughed,
"How can the Son of Heaven be punished like the commoners when he breaks the law?!”
Li Junxian immediately understood and happily left!
Overnight!
The hidden sentries that Zhangsun Wuji had planted outside Li Ke's residence were all eliminated.
Li Ke woke up slightly in the middle of the night. After noticing the situation outside, he chuckled and continued to sleep!
As for the Qi Public House!
Zhangsun Wuji was so flustered that he did not dare to sleep!
He knew that it was the Hundred Cavalry Division who had made a move, which meant that His Majesty was warning him not to extend his hand too far, or he would be easily cut off!
……
The morning court session on the second day!
Zhangsun Wuji arrived with dark circles under his eyes.
He didn't even dare to say a word in the morning court.
Even if the Emperor was not angry, he could still be arrogant! However, once the Empire was enraged, he could only keep quiet out of fear!
"Is Li Ke here?"
Li Shimin looked at the ministers.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of Li Ke.
Obviously, Li Ke did not come to the morning court!
Now, he was both the Minister of War and the Divine General of Heaven's Will, yet he didn't come to the morning court! How hilarious!
The ministers all shot glances at Zhangsun Wuji.
He decided to use this opportunity to let Zhangsun Wuji take the lead and directly get His Majesty to demote Li Ke!
But Zhangsun Wuji was still as silent as a cicada in winter!
How could he dare to step forward and advise!
Hou Junji stared in shock. He didn't know what had happened to Zhangsun Wuji!
However, Hou Junji couldn't help it.
When he saw that Zhangsun Wuji did not step out, he stepped out himself!
"Your Majesty! Ten days ago, the King of Shu had been promoted to Minister of War, but he had not reported to the Ministry of War for ten consecutive days!”
"Now that the King of Shu has been conferred the title of Heavenly Strategy Divine General, the Heavenly Strategy Prefecture has been cleaned up for three days, but he still hasn't reported to the Heavenly Strategy Prefecture!”
"The King of Shu ignored the imperial edict and the country's etiquette! His Majesty should punish him severely! Otherwise, how can we shake the court!"
Hou Junji's words brimmed with passion.
The ministers nodded repeatedly!
Li Shiming's originally warm eyes instantly changed.
"Then I want to ask you, who can be the Minister of War?”
"It can't be you, Hou Junji!"
"When you, Hou Junji, were in charge of the Bureau of Military Personnel, you didn't even investigate the Turkic snow!”
"They even urged us to march several times! If we really listen to your suggestion, our Great Tang will lose at least one hundred thousand soldiers!”
Bang!
Hou Junji hadn't expected the Emperor to bring up these old scores!
He was also scared silly!
He immediately half-knelt on the ground!
"Your Majesty, I was indeed wrong about the Turkic snow!" But could it be that the King of Shu, as the Minister of War, could predict the heavy snow of the Turks?”
Li Shi Min laughed in his heart!
He thought to himself,[You don't have to say it, he really knows!]
However, Li Shimin naturally wouldn't tell Hou Junji the truth. He glared at Hou Junji.
"Get lost! Let's drop this matter!"
"If you dare to spout nonsense again! Then drag him down and give him a hundred strokes of the cane first!”
Hou Junji understood that there was nothing he could do about the King of Shu!
If he continued to advise!
Then he would really have to throw away this black gauze hat on his head!
Moreover, he would really have to suffer a hundred lashes for nothing!
Why bother?
Hou Junji obediently retreated back into the ranks!
With Hou Junji backing away, the other officials didn't dare to say anything.
Li Shi Min continued,
"Everyone! The Turkic snow has delayed our decisive battle against the Turks!”
"Now that the drought on the eastern part of the river has been dealt with, let's continue discussing the Turks!”
"Everyone, feel free to speak. Let's see how we should eliminate this powerful enemy on the plains!”
After Li Shimin proposed the resolution, he retreated!
He leaned against the comfortable dragon throne!
He had Li Ke's ancient scheme in his mind, so he did not panic at all!
He wanted to let the officials perform first!
Then, he would make a move, and with a wave of thousand-year-old schemes, it would directly blind the eyes of all officials!
