Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

In the solemn hall, all civil and military officials respectfully saluted His Majesty Li Shimin who was sitting above, and then they all stood up straight. The vast majority of officials are respectful, with their backs straightened and their expressions very serious, to show their respect for the court. Especially the chiefs of the three provinces and six ministries in the front row, such as Zhongshu Ling Chen Yin, who is already in his fifties or sixties, still stands firm and energetic.

Of course, there are also some old fritters, especially on the side of the military attache—such as our Master Cheng Yaojin. He was wearing an official uniform, and he was half leaning on a big pillar in the hall to doze off.

As I said before, the censors who specialize in making small reports like to find fault with others. It’s as big as officials forming cliques for personal gain, and even conspiring to rebel. It’s as small as a certain adult’s buttoning the wrong button in the early court. They all reported it to the emperor. object. Like Cheng Yaojin, who openly slept in the early court, they should point out with righteous indignation, and impassionedly use a series of beautiful parallel essays to criticize Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin's disrespect for the court meeting.

However, a group of censors stood in the ranks of the civil officials, watching Cheng Yaojin sleep, not even a single person came out to fart, as if all of them were suddenly blind. The reason for this is also very simple - it depends on the person who makes a small report to please the emperor, and it is not just anyone who can make a small report blindly.

This tall and mighty Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin is obviously the kind that cannot be provoked casually.

He is a hero who founded the country, and his military achievements are so terrifying that even the emperor talks to him politely, and he doesn't easily get angry with him, and he makes a small report on such a person, and he is only at the level of secretly dozing off in the early morning. Mistakes, even the emperor himself would probably not care about them, at most he would just laugh it off, but on the contrary, it would make Cheng Yaojin unhappy, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The most frightening thing was that with Cheng Yaojin's unscrupulous temperament, he would dare to hit anyone who hit him for a small report in front of the emperor. This group of censors with thin arms, thin legs, and powerless hands, who can withstand the old punches of these people? Three punches and two kicks, there is no place to reason when you die.

Therefore, this group of elite speakers all tacitly refrained from provoking Lu Guogong, a Buddha. In the same way, they did not dare to provoke Yu Chigong, Li Ji, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong and other outstanding figures in a series of generals. Of course, after all, not everyone among the generals will sleep like Cheng Yaojin, most of them will still stand and listen obediently, why bother to hold on to the old man Cheng Yaojin?

Li Shimin, who was sitting on it, said slowly: "My dear family, do you have something to play today?"

The civil and military officials below were silent for a while, and then someone stepped forward and said: "I have something to announce."

Li Shimin said blankly: "Say."

This person is an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and gave a general introduction to this year's financial situation. He said that due to the impact of the drought, this year's autumn harvest is not ideal, the taxes collected from all over the country have fallen, the national treasury is empty, and next year's finances may be a little tight. By the way, he also put forward some suggestions for increasing income and reducing expenditure.

Li Shimin was a little upset when he heard such a report. He knew that there would eventually be a war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and that this war should be sooner rather than later. But at this juncture, there was a severe drought and financial constraints. He couldn't afford the money to fight the war, which meant that he would have to stay low-key for a while. How could he be in a good mood?

However, the emperor is the emperor, even if he is in a bad mood, his face is still expressionless, as if neither sad nor happy. His Majesty Li Er just nodded casually and said, "I understand."

So, the official withdrew to the ranks of hundreds of officials.

At this time, a guy wearing the official uniform of Yushitai stood up from the queue and said: "Your Majesty, my minister Cui Yongquan has something to play."

A funny light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, but he was sitting high, so no one below saw it, only Chen Yin and other three high-ranking officials in front vaguely saw it.

"Say." Li Shimin said.

Cui Yongquan said: "I want to impeach Xu Jingchen, the imperial doctor in the palace, for having a close relationship with Li Xin, the king of Chu, and plotting against him!"

This sentence was not loud, but it was full of air, and everyone in the hall could hear it clearly. Chen Yin glanced back slightly, thinking of the smile that flashed in Li Shimin's eyes just now, he immediately understood that the emperor knew that someone was going to impeach Li Xin, and maybe he had already prepared for it. Therefore, Chen Yin calmed down, stood quietly, and continued to pretend to be his own clay bodhisattva.

Cheng Yaojin also slowly opened his eyes, looked up at Cui Yongquan casually, and then closed them again. He usually gives people the impression of being reckless and reckless, but if anyone really thinks he is an idiot because of this, then this person will definitely regret it in the near future. In fact, Cheng Yaojin is a guy with very high political intelligence. He could tell at a glance that Cui Yongquan couldn't sue Li Xin, so of course he didn't bother to intervene, he might as well continue to sleep.

Qin Qiong obviously had the same thoughts as Cheng Yaojin, after taking a look at Cui Yongquan, he continued to stand silently, waiting to see the next good show.

Cui Yongquan took a deep breath, organized his words and said: "I heard that the imperial physician Xu Jingchen visited the Chu Palace many times in the past few days, and even became a student of the Chu King. This is really a joke in the world! The king of Chu just turned seventeen this year, so what qualifications does he have to be someone else's teacher? What's more, I have never heard that the king of Chu has any amazing accomplishments in medicine, and he is worthy of the royal doctor in the palace to study under him .”

Apparently, he had never heard of Li Xin's debridement and suture technique and health management regulations-this kind of treasure that can greatly reduce the death rate of injuries and diseases, of course, the military strictly covered it up, including Li Shimin himself, Cheng Yao, etc. The senior generals like Jin and the civil servants like Chen Yin only knew about it.

Cui Yongquan paused for a moment, bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said: "I have every reason to believe that Xu Jingchen's relationship with the King of Chu has exceeded the norm, and there must be some conspiracy behind it. I hope His Majesty will be vigilant and order a thorough investigation of this matter as soon as possible!" His tone was So sonorous and powerful, revealing a meaning of serving the country loyally and dying without regret. The officials of Yushitai like this kind of tone these days.

Not far away, Cheng Yaojin leaned motionless against the pillar, without bothering to open his eyes, he cursed casually: "Silly batch." Qin Qiong heard it clearly, and laughed a few times very unkindly.
