Chapter 436: The Emperor invites him to whip the king
All the officials were shocked.
Even veterans of the city such as Fang Xuanling couldn't help but change their faces and look shocked.
The princeling's face was as pale as earth.
The central government of the Tang Dynasty monitored local prefectures and counties by sending censors out to prefectures and counties by the Yushitai, and by patrolling the prefectures and counties separately.
However, there is another way of supervision, and that is - the inspector.
Often after a major disaster, the emperor would send ministers out to inspect, inspect officials, and provide relief to the victims.
It's nominally for disaster relief.
In fact, they are monitoring local officials!
Because after a major disaster, order is chaotic, some officials often take desperate risks and make huge profits.
The early years of Zhenguan.
There were only a handful of inspectors dispatched by the imperial court.
But every time, there would be a violent storm in the local area and an earthquake in the officialdom.
In order to frighten the local area, the composition of the inspection mission was also quite powerful. For example, in the eighth year of Zhenguan, the envoys sent by Li Shimin included Li Jing, Xiao Yu, Yang Gongren, Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Zhang Liang, and Huang Puwu. Yi, Li Xiyu...
The above inspection envoy.
All are above level three!
Now, in the name of plague relief, the emperor actually sent out inspection envoys again.
Combined with the attack on the princelings just now, its purpose is self-evident... that is, to eliminate the influence of all princes!
What happened?
Did the emperor suddenly issue such an order?
In silence.
Wei Zheng, Yuchi Gong, and Wang Gui came out and bowed to receive the order: "I will obey the sage's imperial order!"
On the Dragon Throne.
Li Shimin tilted his head slightly and winked at Zhang Ananda, the attendant at his side.
The big eunuch immediately understood and waved to the side door. Immediately, the little eunuch held the wooden plate and handed it to Yuchi Gong respectfully.
See the situation.
All the ministers were stunned.
I saw a black iron whip lying quietly on the red velvet wooden plate.
Li Shimin suddenly shouted: "Yu Chi Jingde!"
Yuchi Gong hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I'm here."
"This whip is called the 'King's Whip'!"
Li Shimin looked at the latter and said in a deep voice: "I will give you this whip now!"
"While on patrol, if you encounter treacherous ministers who rob or rob the country's temples, you can attack the kings for being unruly and the civil and military forces for being unfaithful. Gods and men must not avoid it!"
Yuchi Gong was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and said: "My lord, I obey the order."
Looking at this scene.
All civil and military officials were extremely shocked.
As the name suggests, in theory, even the royal family can be whipped, and the royal family, of course, includes the prince.
His Majesty Li Er's meaning is very clear.
Since even the prince can be beaten, then of course the forces loyal to him are no exception.
Look at this posture.
Your Majesty is so angry!
After doing all this, Li Shimin glanced around the ministers and faintly uttered two words: "Retreat from the court."
After that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Exited Liangyi Hall.
His face instantly turned livid, he called Zhang Anan behind him, gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Go and call that traitor to the imperial study room!"
…
at the same time.
East Palace, Li Zheng Hall.
In the luxurious bedroom, the light mist of ambergris fills the air with the gentle fragrance.
As the swaying of the tent stopped, the delicate whisper that resounded in the hall also gradually stopped.
Prince Li Chengqian lay on his back on the couch, his palms resting on the fragrant shoulders of Bi Ren in his arms, his face showing a hint of fatigue after the incident.
"Your Highness, are you tired?"
Cheng Xin raised her pretty face from his arms, her two strands of hair on her temples were wet with sweat, making her look even more charming.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Chengqian caressed the silky smooth skin of Sheng Xin and said with a smile: "Being with Xin'er, no matter how tired I am, I am still willing to do it."
"Your Highness..."
Cheng Xin's face turned red and she acted coquettishly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Chengqian laughed heartily.
The satisfying gesture satisfied his self-esteem as a man, so he looked at the latter with an even gentler look:
"Xin'er, in this world, only by staying with you can I feel relaxed."
"Your Highness, is something bothering you?"
Wen Xin said in a gentle tone: "Why don't you tell me and listen to it? Although I can't share your worries, you may feel better if you tell me."
Li Chengqian paused and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that there has been no news from Hedong Road for some days."
"Hadong Road?"
Chengxin was taken aback: "Is this the thing you mentioned to me last time? There must have been some trouble."
"I don't know." Li Chengqian shook his head: "It is said that Niu Jinda sent Fang Yiai to sneak into the state capital for inspection."
"The consort's last love?" Zhengxin showed a hint of worry: "He won't find out anything, right?"
"Huh! Just him?"
Li Chengqian sneered and mocked: "I have been operating in Hedong Road for several years. How can he, a consort who only knows how to recite poems and write poems, shake my power?"
Chengxin said empathetically: "This Fang Yiai is so brave. He has been against you many times. He deserves to die!"
Said.
He bit his red lips and said softly: "Your Highness, this slave has little knowledge. You are the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. What is the use of all that money?"
Look at his concerned look.
Li Chengqian's heart softened, he shaved his delicate nose, and said with a smile: "You don't understand this. Making friends with powerful officials in the court, recruiting troops, and buying horses all require money."
"The so-called hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle in the world is all for benefit."
"If there is no benefit, who will seek refuge in me?"
"I don't understand this." Cheng Xin shook her head and raised her face and said, "I only know that it is my duty to serve His Highness well."
Look into the beauty's watery eyes.
Li Chengqian's heart was filled with heat, and he had no choice but to sing and sing every night. His body was drained by the wine and sex, and he could only see fire in his eyes and feel powerless.
This is different from Fang Ying.
Fang Erlang is a warrior with steel and iron bones. After the conquest, he only needs to rest for a moment before he can ride his horse and whip his whip again. He is extremely brave!
On this point, the oiran lady has the most say.
Princess Yongjia will also be born soon, but her aunt has already tasted it, otherwise she wouldn't have a pouty mouth and red and swollen lips.
at this time.
Seeing the embarrassment of the prince.
Cheng Xin glanced at him tenderly, twisted her body, and slid down slowly like a snake.
I have to say.
The people at Taichang Temple are very considerate.
Li Chengqian took a breath of air, narrowed his eyes, and showed an expression of enjoyment.
At this moment, the anxious voice of the chamberlain suddenly came from outside the palace:
Chapter completed!
