The first great court meeting in the early summer of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, enlightenment!
With a long trumpet outside the Taiji Palace, the door of the Taiji Hall squeaked, and it was slowly opened, and then Wu Qunchen poured into the hall one after another, standing in order according to their official positions, and at first glance they were all pouring in the center of the hall, and there was a trace of crowding.However, the Taiji Hall is very huge, wait until the emperor enters the hall, after the ministers salute, they will each sit on both sides, a great court will take a long time, many of these ministers are gray-haired old people, have been standing can not bear.The Tang Dynasty followed the Sui system, and the Great Sui mostly followed the Han system, so it was not like the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, so they needed to call long live the mountain and go to the court and so on.At the beginning of the court meeting, everyone noticed that the atmosphere of this court meeting was extraordinary, because there had been a lot of noise recently because of the war between the Du Family Chamber of Commerce and the Qinghe Cui clan.Moreover, the heads of the five surnames and seven families gathered in Chang'an, which brought the atmosphere to the extreme.So after everyone sat down, Li Er opened the door and said loudly: "Today's court meeting, only one thing will be discussed!"
Half a month ago, the heads of each family with the five surnames and Qiwang respectively informed Chang'an that they were coming to visit me and had grievances to be complained.Today's court meeting, they have arrived, so we will discuss this matter.I want to see what kind of grievances can disturb the mainstay of my Tang Dynasty, and everyone is miserable and runs to the Taiji Hall to cry out grievances.The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Zongzheng Mansion, etc., looked with wide eyes, and any heretical person who is found to be causing trouble in the world today will be severely punished and given justice to the people of the world. ”Hiss Qunchen was shocked in his heart, is this Long Yan angry?
The people of the three divisions went out to receive orders.The officials with the five surnames and Qiwang looked at this scene, and many people were secretly proud in their hearts, and said in their hearts that listening to the emperor's words, did they want to avenge me and other five surnames and seven hopes?
Even if you are interested, what about a generation of emperors?
Still not to make way for us?
But there are also a few people who are watching the fire, and they are carefully considering the emperor's words in their hearts, on the surface, they want to avenge the grievances, but when they are carefully distinguished, they are a little ambiguous, and the emperor in front of them is not an ordinary emperor, so they must not be taken lightly."
Xuan, outside the palace, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Boling Cui clan, the Longxi Li clan, and the patriarchs go to the palace."
The chamberlain Lao Gao stood up and gave the order.Outside the hall, there were six old men with slightly gray temples, and an old man with white beard and hair, this is Cui Yanxiong, the old man of the Qinghe Cui clan, and his current identity is the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan.This old man can be regarded as breaking his promise and getting fat, when he was in the ancestral hall of the Cui family, he swore that he would change the rules for the Cui clan in Qinghe, and find a young man to come out as the patriarch, and he would definitely not covet it.It's good now, the Qinghe Cui clan is divided into two, and the position of the patriarch on his side has been undecided, and now in order to make a scene for the saint, he has led the acting patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan, which is really out of the way."
Everyone, today, in front of the Manchu Dynasty and the martial arts, tell you all about the grievances you have suffered, and I will be with the military officials, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty Court, to make decisions for you."
Li Er assured with full confidence.This situation surprised these patriarchs, originally their purpose was to talk secretly with the emperor in private, and use the power of the family to coerce the emperor to compromise and take down Du Shaoqing's righteousness.Who would have thought that the emperor would not abide by the rules and directly take them to the Taiji Palace, would it be difficult to make a big deal and make it public?
Aren't you, Your Majesty Li Er, afraid of chaos in the world?
For a while, everyone hesitated, the enemy situation was unknown, and they didn't dare to open their mouths easily, even if the fish died and the net was broken, it shouldn't be opened by the five surnames and seven wangs, after all, it is now on the Taiji Palace, and it is the heart of Li Er, once the face is torn, I am afraid that none of the people present today will not survive."
Who's going to tell me?
Do you say it all together or one by one?
I and all my servants are waiting. ”Li Er spoke again.After waiting for a long time, everyone pushed Cui Yanxiong out, because his Qinghe Cui clan had already burned his eyebrows."
Your Majesty, my Qinghe Cui clan has recently been maliciously suppressed by Du Shaoqing's Du Family Chamber of Commerce, first slandering and slandering, instigating the people to smash our business, and greatly damaging the livelihood of the people in the medicinal materials, silkworms, construction and other industries.Now it is so troublesome that my Qinghe Cui clan is almost out of life, and the people are also complaining, begging His Majesty to take down Du Shaoqing and give an explanation to the people of the world. ”Cui Yanxiong stood up and said loudly.Li Er sneered in his heart, the old thing has no fear, and he dares to blackmail me in this situation?
Act recklessly.So Li Er remained silent, turned his head to his son-in-law, who was rarely in the court, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
”Du Shaoqing stood up and saluted respectfully, then looked confused, and spread his hands, "No, the minister doesn't know at all, there is such a thing?"
This can't be, our Du Family Chamber of Commerce has always done things for the imperial court, and has never bullied the good and harmed the people. ”At this time, Wei Zheng coughed lightly and reminded: "Du Juma, the law of the Tang Dynasty, officials are not allowed to do business, you have crossed the line and dare to ignore the law?"
”I, Du Shaoqing, didn't expect this old man to make a mess at this time?
So he said angrily: "This black-faced minister, look at the eyes, introduce yourself, I, Du Shaoqing, am a grass people, and I was summoned by His Majesty to Chang'an for treatment, and later I had no choice but to serve as the vice president of the Tai Hospital, and I can't resign from the office."
Later, he was forced to be the deputy secretary of Honglu Temple by Tang Jian, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, I was still resigning yesterday, and I have not been able to resign, if you can help use the law to go to my two shackles, I am grateful, this can be safe to run the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, for the benefit of the people. ”You, you kid, Lao Wei's face turned even darker, and he was so angry for a while that he didn't know what to say.Li Er waved his hand and said: "Okay, Du Shaoqing founded the Du Family Chamber of Commerce not for personal gain, this point was agreed between me and the Ministry of Households, and seventy percent of the income of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce was put into the treasury for strengthening the army and people's livelihood, otherwise where did you think the money to destroy Tubo and Gaochang came from?"
So there is no need to dispute the matter. ”"Your Majesty, the country does not compete with the people for profit, this law is inappropriate!"
Wei Zheng did not forgive.Du Shaoqing explained: "The shopkeeper of my Du Family Chamber of Commerce is my fiancée Wu Shi, she is a real ordinary person, she is willing to name her Chamber of Commerce surnamed Du, what can I do?"
It's not like I've broken the rules.Speaking of competing with the people?
Pure nonsense, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce will fill the treasury with seventy percent of the revenue, which belongs to the selfless contribution of our people's patriotism, and does not require a trace of merit, which is not appropriate?
”Wei Zheng nodded, apologized to Du Shaoqing and retreated, making Du Shaoqing confused.In fact, it was not that Wei Zheng was troublesome, but he was worried that someone would use this to entangle Du Shaoqing, so he preemptively blocked other people's mouths.Next is the topic, Qinghe Cui Yanxiong pointed to Du Shaoqing and asked: "It is said that Du Shaoqing is a dignified gentleman, but I didn't expect to dare to admit it."
Isn't it your Du Family Chamber of Commerce who sent people to slander the innocence of my Qinghe Cui's pharmacy and instigated the people to smash our business behind it?
”Du Shaoqing shook his head solemnly and said: "No, don't talk nonsense, this is the Taiji Palace, if you slander me, I can't tell you that I want to sue you." ”Why didn't you Cui Yanxiong think that after a long time of not seeing each other, this Du Shaoqing would become a scoundrel?
At this moment, a loud laugh came, and Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, stood up, walked to the center of the hall step by step, and shouted: "Old man, Qinghe Cui's right?"
To tell you the truth, your Qinghe Cui's business was smashed, and there are also a pen of evil deeds, all of which were exposed by this king, if you want revenge, you can come to me, you are also a figure with a head and a face, and you are not afraid of being laughed at if you admit your mistakes?
This king, the king of Han Li Yuanchang!
”Well???
Everyone looked at Li Yuanchang who stood up in surprise, including Cui Yanxiong, who didn't expect that Li Yuanchang was going to take all the charges for Du Shaoqing?"
You?
King Han?
Do you have a grudge against my Qinghe Cui clan?
Why tarnish our innocence?
”Cui Yanxiong asked.Who knew that at this time, Li Yuanchang actually laughed wildly, stretched out his hand and swept the seven old men opposite, "Hahahaha, not only your Qinghe Cui family, but also the other six families behind you, it can be said that your five surnames and seven hopes are my target."
I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, I, Li Yuanchang, am targeting your families, and no one can escape. ”In the Taiji Palace, the ministers took a breath of cool air, this, the King of Han is crazy, right?
This is to declare war with the five surnames and seven hopes!
Before the five surnamed Qiwang could respond, Li Er opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "Old Seven, what's going on?"
The five surnames and seven wangs are the mainstay of my Datang, and they have a very high prestige among the people, and they are known to have a clear name, why do you have to get along with them?
You have to have an explanation today, otherwise even if you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty and my own brother, I will not favor you. ”Oh, what Li Er said is really moving, a model of Mingjun, it is not easy to reprimand his brothers for the sake of his courtiers and people.Li Yuanchang pointed with his big hand, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid you don't know, these people came to Chang'an to complain to you, and the one who wants to sue is not my brother." ”Li Er asked a few old men in surprise, "Everyone, is there such a thing?"

”The old men finally sensed that something was wrong, and it seemed that the trap was becoming more and more obvious.If everyone says no, then it means that there is no such thing as a complaint, and this trip is not in vain?
If it is, we don't want to play the small role of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, and these things can be said in private, but they can't be uncovered and the world knows it, this is a tacit rule for everyone, why is the emperor not abiding by the rules today?
But the arrow has to be sent, and the Qinghe Cui clan has already stepped into it, if everyone doesn't keep up, wouldn't it be unjust?
So after hesitating for a moment, everyone looked at each other, and finally nodded in response: "That's right, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, instigated his subordinates to wantonly slander our innocence, and begged Your Majesty to call the shots." ”Cui Yanxiong interjected: "Wait, I also want to sue Du Shaoqing and the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, they are in collusion with Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, and collude with each other, one is responsible for smashing our voice, and the other is responsible for seizing the business that originally belonged to us. ”"Oh?
Is there such a thing?
Okay, both of them are present today, so let's say it one by one, Lao Qi, you say it first, if you can't say it clearly, you can make amends to these Tang Dynasty elders.Come on, give you a seat for the elders. ”Li Er said with a straight face.This attitude makes many people feel that Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, is finished.But the old men below are like sitting on pins and needles, this Li Yuanchang is reckless when he goes out, if he bites it indiscriminately, today's matter will not be clear.Sure enough, then Li Yuanchang motioned for his people to go to the hall, and brought up a large box of things, Li Yuanchang held a book, and read the unjust cases he found one by one.And with his words, the people below took out the corresponding evidence and records, and the rest of the entire hall was silent, and everyone was attracted by Li Yuanchang's hand.At the same time, the criminal department, Dali Temple and other yamen are also recorded in the case of the opportunity, which is the emperor has greeted in advance, and anyone involved in the case violates the law will be severely punished today.One by one, if Li Yuanchang counted them all, one day might not be enough, so after he brought in all the families with the five surnames and Qiwang, Li Er finally couldn't sit still, patted the bookcase in front of him, and asked angrily: "Old Seven, do you know what is the crime of slandering and framing others?"
”Li Yuanchang closed the book, stood up straight, raised his neck and shouted: "Brother Huang, today's brother Li Yuanchang is half untrue, Brother Huang can cut off my head." ”Hey, is this really the reckless Han King?
Seeing this, where did the few old men sitting below still not understand, all this is a bureau set up by the emperor and the king of Han, and even Du Shaoqing.In everyone's expectation, Li Er immediately asked, "Everyone, what do you have to say about the performance of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han?"
”One of the patriarchs said disdainfully: "Hmph, slander out of thin air, what can you say?
We have a clear conscience!
”Yu Shitai Wei Zheng questioned: "The King of Han has brought human and material evidence, and each case has real evidence, how can this be explained?"
”At this time, Cui Yanxiong of Qinghe Cui's said: "Your Majesty, ministers, the king of Han said that my Qinghe Cui's price was too high and killed the people, and I Qinghe Cui's did not admit this crime.Whether it is expensive or not, we must not only consider the rarity of medicinal materials, labor costs, etc., but also take into account the rarity of the market.And I, Qinghe Cui's business, has not been in the business of medicinal materials for a year or two, and we have been supplying medicinal materials to the people everywhere for countless years. ”"That is, except for the King of Han, the price of our Fanyang Lu's chariots and horses, I'm afraid no one says that we are unfair, how many years has this price, the people have unanimously agreed, why is the King of Han now saying that we are harming the people?
Obviously, we sell our goods to the world and benefit the country and the people, but in the end we are guilty?
”"If it weren't for our Xingyang Zheng clan circulating silk cloth from all over the world, I'm afraid that more than half of the people in the world would be unclothed, but the King of Han said that we are a disaster to the country and the people, a big joke!"
At this time, such a refutation is to earn face, and secondly, if there is a deep threat, it means that without our people, the entire shopping mall of Datang will be paralyzed, and the people will have no goods circulation, and Datang will be in chaos.I don't know if you can afford such a result, the emperor?
Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Er was furious, but he still held back his patience and looked at Li Yuanchang below.
