Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty is upholding justice for my minister, so why don't you just say it?" Li Xin deliberately pretended that he didn't want to say so much, and he only said it when everyone asked him to say it.

Li Shimin was too lazy to watch Li Xin play tricks, and at the same time, he was really curious about what else he could say in this situation, so he waved his hands impatiently and said, "Say it quickly! If you delay for a while, I will hit you first." Twenty big boards!" His Majesty Li Er, who was always good-tempered, became irritable, which shows that Li Xin was really cheap to a certain extent this time.

However, although Li Shimin said that he was going to beat Li Xin, it seemed to be very strict, but these words did not sound so good to Zheng Bowen and Han Donghua's ears.

This is obviously the tone of their own parents to scare their children! Where are the words of a monarch who wants to deal with erring subjects?

Zheng Bowen subtly had some bad premonition.

Li Xin, on the other hand, looked frightened by Li Shimin, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll say it, I'll say it!" This is so good, I even forgot the title of "Chen" and said directly Call yourself "I".

Of course, this is actually because Li Xin felt that it was a bit awkward to keep calling himself a "minister", so he did it on purpose.

"Say it!" Li Shimin said.

"Okay, okay." Li Xin coughed lightly and said, "I deny all the charges Mr. Zheng accused me just now. In my opinion, these so-called charges are actually all due to Mr. Zheng's ignorance and It’s just a misunderstanding caused by ignorance.”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

"Bold! Mr. Zheng has devoted himself to the country for more than 20 years. What kind of hard work is this! How can you, a yellow-mouthed child, slander you at will?" Han Donghua immediately called out. Although his face was full of anger and righteous indignation, he was actually secretly happy, and even wanted to laugh a little.

You Chu Wang Li Xin is indeed favored by His Majesty, but this does not mean that you can talk nonsense? Yes, in the past every time Li Xin got into trouble, His Majesty would clean up the mess for him, but that was before! What mistakes did Li Xin make in the past? Either it was causing trouble, riding a horse into some stall, or beating someone's son violently in the street, and all of them were traumatic, it's not a big deal at all! After compensating the victim's loss, His Majesty helped to perfunctory, and it passed.

However, this time is different.

For one thing, Li Xin's Changyilou really affected the income of many restaurants, especially after he launched the membership system, the profits of several major restaurants in Chang'an all fell off a cliff. The forces behind these restaurants will naturally not let him go. This is a struggle involving specific interests! Zheng Bowen is just the one who was pushed out to be a knife! Those who really want to target Li Xin are still standing in the queue of these courtiers, and they are not even above this hall at all!

Secondly, it is not a secret that Zheng Bowen's son, Zheng Taoyuan, had his leg broken. Many people in the court know it. So this time, Zheng Bowen stepped forward to impeach Li Xin with a sense of revenge. Among the courtiers, except for the line of military officials who had a good relationship with Li Xin, almost all the ministers were emotionally inclined to Zheng Bowen.

The addition of the two is not simply one plus one equals two. What Li Xin was facing in the main hall at this moment was an unprecedented amount of hostility that was vaguely visible.

Under such circumstances, Li Xin didn't behave like a man with his tail between his legs. Instead, he uttered nonsense, saying that Zheng Bowen was ignorant and incompetent. He really thought he didn't die fast enough!

In the officialdom, the most taboo thing is a stunned young man like Li Xin, who always refuses to save face in front of so many people. Well, although strictly speaking, Li Xin is not Zheng Bowen's subordinate, but in In the eyes of most people, the king of Chu, who has no official position, is just a young nobleman, while Zheng Bowen is a veteran minister in the court, and Li Xin should be given full respect both emotionally and rationally. Saying that Zheng Bowen is ignorant and incompetent in public like now will easily arouse the resentment of most people.

In this way, Li Xin simply handed over an excuse to attack and sent it to his enemy, which is extremely stupid! Does he think His Majesty can still protect him this time?

Li Shimin on the throne also immediately realized what was wrong with Li Xin. He didn't understand why Li Xin deliberately stoked everyone's anger like this. Obviously, it is enough to emphasize that everything is a misunderstanding, so why bother to say that Zheng Bowen is ignorant? Doesn't Li Xin know that this is pushing the neutral faction in the court to his hostile side?

"Don't be rude! What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Zheng?" Li Shimin sternly shouted. This is not a hint, it is a complete indication that Li Xin has restrained himself a bit. Even though Li Shimin is a majestic emperor, if Li Xin is really outraged by the public, it will be a bit difficult for him to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin didn't seem to understand Li Shimin's hint, and said seriously: "I am not talking nonsense. I just think that Mr. Zheng Bowen is ignorant, ignorant, and messing around. That's why I have today's misunderstanding. .”
