Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

A group of officials from Guanlong families were originally encouraging other officials to denounce Du He, but Du He's words stunned them all.

So arrogant?

How could a subject like him be so arrogant?

Yu Zhining responded in a deep voice, "Duke Hanguo, you are just a humble official. You actually killed a member of the royal family. Do you still have the imperial power in your eyes?"

"In your eyes, are the royal family just a bunch of ants that you can trample on at will?"

This shit pot is really good!

Unfortunately, he used it on the wrong person and in front of the wrong person.

If the person on the imperial platform was Qin Ershi Hu Hai, or Han Lingdi Liu Hong, they might have believed Yu Zhining's slander.

But Li Chengqian is different from other princes. He has his own judgment.

Besides, Li Chengqian also listened to Du He's words. If the person who made the slander was Du He, it would be harmful to the country.

The person who said this was his opponent Yu Zhining. Li Chengqian wanted to beat him up, so how could he attack Du He?

A few breaths of silence.

Chu Suiliang followed closely behind and said, "Duke Hanguo, His Majesty trusts you, so he lets you take charge of over 100,000 Yongzhou soldiers!"

"Yet you abused your power and ordered the government soldiers to slaughter thousands of innocent people. What's the difference between you and an executioner?"

"You are unworthy of His Majesty's trust in you!"

Literati speak differently. By changing the concept, Chu Suiliang described Du He as a butcher who kills people without blinking an eye.

However, only Changsun Wuji, Yuwen Jie, Zhang Xuansu and Xie Yan echoed their words, and the other officials ignored them.

After a cup of tea.

The noisy Tai Chi Hall finally quieted down slowly.

Du He raised his eyebrows: "Are you done?"

Seeing Du He's frivolous expression, Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang and others all frowned.

However, they did not continue talking, but waited quietly for Du He to explain.

More than ten breaths passed.

Du He said with a serious expression, "Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, and Yuwen Jie, I want to ask you a few questions."

"Did these princes violate Tang law?"

"Did they close the city gates and block the gates of the palace to resist the inspection by the Three Officials?"

"Answer me!"

When he said the last sentence, Du He's voice suddenly became louder.

This loud shout frightened the court officials so much that they trembled in their hearts.

Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others all lowered their heads, frowning as they thought about how to refute Du He's words.

Li Chengqian, who was on the imperial platform, curled up the corners of his mouth slightly when he saw Du He crushing the people of Guanlong family with his aura.

He clenched his fists and said "good" in his heart.

"well said!"

"That's how I scold these shameless people!"

In the face of irrefutable evidence, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others still insisted on making trouble. Such people are the real treacherous ministers!

Below the main hall.

Du He then said loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly reiterated that the Emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Could it be that the status of these vassal kings is superior to that of the Emperor?"

"Birth subsidies are a national priority. These princes are leading the charge to defraud the national treasury. Aren't they unforgivable criminals?"

"Who among you can answer this officer?"

Faced with Du He's scolding, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others turned pale.

Shuzi!

What a sharp tongue!

They had experienced Du He's eloquence a long time ago, but they didn't expect that even after making all the necessary preparations, they still couldn't defeat Du He.

It seems they still have to continue studying Du He's weaknesses!

Stunned for a moment.

The civil and military officials glanced at the officials from the Guanlong families with disdain. They stood up one after another, holding their tablets, and flattered Li Chengqian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

"It is a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty to have such a ruler!"

When Li Chengqian heard the congratulations from the civil and military officials, his expression was slightly stunned.

When did he ever say that the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when breaking the law?

This kid Du He is flattering him again!

Li Chengqian said with a serious expression: "My dear ministers, although the princes of the world are members of the royal family, they are also part of the Tang Dynasty and must naturally abide by the constraints of Tang law!"

"Like Jin Prince Li Zhi, who caused chaos among the concubines in the harem, Your Majesty reduced his title."

"Now that these princes are acting recklessly, the imperial court will naturally punish them severely!"

what!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually brought up this matter!

When the civil and military officials heard the prince use Li Zhi as a negative example, their expressions were filled with astonishment.

For Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others, Li Chengqian's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face in front of all the officials.

Shame!

You've lost all your face!

These officials from the Guanlong families all buried their heads in their chests, not daring to meet the mocking gazes of the other officials.

"mock up!"

Li Chengqian muttered to himself, then smiled and waved at Du He, saying, "Du He, as the judicial inspector, please educate Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining, Yuwen Jie, Zhang Xuansu, and others about the Tang Dynasty laws!"

He was still very sensible and did not whip his uncle Changsun Wuji's corpse.

Although he did not say it explicitly, his goal had been achieved.

Faced with Li Chengqian's naming of names, the expressions of the civil and military officials changed slightly, and then they turned their attention to Zhangsun Wuji, Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang and others.

What a fool!

Knowing that it was His Majesty and the Crown Prince's intention to deal with this group of vassal kings, they still dared to attack Du He at this time.

Who gave them the courage?

Besides, Du He is the prince's core aide. What is the difference between impeaching Du He and impeaching the prince?

The prince has no moral principles and doesn't care about his own reputation!

Just as all the officials were looking shocked, Du He's expression was equally strange.

He had never read the Tang Code, so how could he know what the Tang Code said?

Think about it.

Du He said loudly: "In my opinion, anyone who violates Tang law must be punished according to the law, no matter how high his status or how strong his connections are!"

"Just because these princes have weapons and men, and are ruthless and fearless, we cannot let the imperial court be afraid to punish them according to the law."

"After all, the grass on the graves of those who aren't afraid of death is three feet tall, right?"

hum~

As Du He finished speaking, a low buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the Tai Chi Hall.

These officials were talking in low voices, all talking about the people from the Guanlong family who were beheaded.

The officials murmured for a while, then stood up and flattered the emperor.

"The Duke of Han is clear about rewards and punishments and is not afraid of powerful forces. He is truly worthy of being compared to Yi Yin and Guan Zhong!"

"Having such an impartial and wise minister is truly a blessing to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Congratulations to His Majesty! Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

All officials knew that Du He, who was in charge of more than 100,000 soldiers, was a powerful person!

Besides His Majesty and the Crown Prince, who else is he afraid of?

Little did they know that Changsun Wuji, who was once so powerful, has now been completely subdued.

Changsun Wuji sat still in his original seat. He waited until all the civil and military officials had sat down before he slowly stood up holding the tablet.

"Your Highness, I wish to impeach the Duke of Han!"

When the officials heard what Changsun Wuji said, their expressions were filled with surprise.

"No way?"

"Changsun Wuji still wants to cause trouble for Du He?"

"What kind of leverage does he have over Du He that would allow him to stand up and cause trouble at this time?"
