Chapter 2263 Everyone Compromises
No one understood the first half of Li Shimin's words, but after hearing the second half, everyone immediately understood.
The incident in Xizhou was indeed caused by Prince Ji. Everyone present at the moment thought so.
The reason was because of Wang Wencheng's incident last year, which was a revenge for their turning a blind eye.
Prince Ji is naughty and narrow-minded. Your Majesty has made it very clear that he will take revenge for any slight.
The words also warned them that in the case of Wang Wencheng, Prince Ji's Mansion lost millions of guan but did not file a complaint.
Then you guys just keep quiet about this matter, we're even.
Finally, he threatened that Prince Ji was his son, and if he did something wrong, you should all bear the consequences. He was only twenty years old and had a long way to go. Don't wait for him to take revenge on your descendants in the future.
The same words, when spoken to different people, can have two different meanings. It seems to be an emotional appeal, but it is actually full of threats.
The scene fell into silence, and everyone was constantly calculating and weighing things in their minds.
They were wondering whether this incident was done by Prince Ji personally or at the instruction of His Majesty.
The three princes beside Li Shimin also had complicated expressions on their faces at this moment.
What Li Tai and Li Zhi were thinking in their hearts was whether Aye was too doting on Li Shen, or too indulgent.
Not only did he cheat and deceive people in the past, but now he has started robbing, killing and setting fire to houses, and he is still protecting Li Shen.
Not to mention Li Zhi who hated Li Shen, even Li Tai, who was good at cultivating himself, couldn't help but feel jealous.
He had enjoyed all of this once, and he was very successful at that time, but he didn't know when this feeling disappeared.
His father and mother no longer love him as much as before.
Li Chengqian's expression became even more complicated, and he blamed Li Shen even more.
It was agreed that he would do this, but now it seems that Li Shen has found their father again. Can he still get the generous reward promised to him?
Li Shen's handling of this matter was a bit unkind. It was obvious that he didn't believe that I could help him settle it, so he pretended to be strong with me while secretly doing something with my father.
Afraid that he couldn't get it done, he asked his father to cover the cost. He paid one fee and let two people do the job, and whoever got it done would get the money.
Li Shen was still so cunning and his methods were still so shameless. Li Chengqian couldn't help but curse in his heart.
I just don’t know what price this despicable brother offered to their father. I guess it’s not the same price as mine.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly felt depressed. He felt like a cheap product, and was outdone by comparison.
Thinking of this, Li Chengqian secretly vowed that when Li Shen came back, he would definitely practice boxing and kicking with him, because bullying was too much.
"His Majesty."
Just when everyone was silent, someone suddenly stood up.
Everyone looked over and saw that the person standing up was Li Xiaogong, the Prince of Hejian. Li Xiaogong saluted and said:
"Prince Ji is kind and filial, well-mannered, and has a good nature. Although he occasionally does some absurd things, they are harmless.
Just as Your Majesty said, Prince Ji is still young and ignorant. He has no bad intentions. He is just a teenager who likes to act foolishly.
We certainly won't take it to heart.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been able to enjoy such prosperity, and Prince Ji has made a lot of contributions to it.
Prince Ji was able to think about sharing the worries of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the age of twenty, which shows that Prince Ji deeply understands Your Majesty's teachings.
His achievements are unmatched among the second generation disciples.
Even if such a talented person makes some minor mistakes, they are not serious. I should just laugh it off and not take it to heart."
As soon as Li Xiaogong said this, the courtyard became completely silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was cursing in their hearts, and looked at Li Xiaogong with contempt.
Everyone says that you, Li Xiaogong, are upright and serious, but today I see that you are just a name that you deserve.
He's polite and kind-hearted. Pah! How dare you call a greedy person a young talent? How can you say that?
Even if you want to flatter someone, you shouldn't do it this way.
Even Li Shimin, his biological father, gave Li Xiaogong a strange look.
Was he talking about his own son? That rebellious son was not only filial but also lacked benevolence, let alone any knowledge of etiquette.
How can he be polite if he doesn't even lie to his own father? How can he be innocent? His heart is so black, how can he still be innocent?
The three brothers Li Chengqian wanted to die at this moment. Their father had just compared them to others and said that Li Shen was the most filial among his children.
Now Li Xiaogong is actually praising this disaster to the sky. He really doesn't treat his own princes as human beings.
"Your Majesty, I believe what my brother said is true. We have all watched Prince Ji grow up, and we will definitely guide him well and will never hold a grudge against him."
Li Daozon also stood up at this moment. As a member of the royal family, he had to stand up and agree at this time.
Although he didn't have any words to praise Li Shen, he had to support His Majesty.
"Assist, what do you think?"
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhangsun Wuji. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully:
"Your Majesty, I think...what Your Majesty said makes sense," Chang Sun Wuji hesitated for a moment and continued:
"Prince Ji is young, if he does something wrong, we will naturally not hold it against him.
It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve. I just hope that His Royal Highness Prince Ji will not make the same mistake again in the future."
"What do you think?" After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin looked at everyone again.
After a long while, Gao Jifu stood up and said:
"I agree with what Duke Zhao said."
"I second the proposal."
"I also second my opinion."
At once, everyone expressed their opinions and seconded what Chairman Sun Wuji said. Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed out loud:
"Hahahaha, okay, I'm relieved if you elders don't mind.
You can rest assured that I will discipline this rebellious son strictly and will definitely not let him make the same mistake again."
Everyone understood that Changsun Wuji had just compromised and the matter of Xizhou would not be pursued further.
Because Your Majesty has made it very clear that the incident in Xizhou was Prince Ji's revenge for the Wang Wencheng incident.
He lost a lot of money, and this time everyone else lost some money too.
The last thing Changsun Wuji said was that this was only the first time and it would not happen again, so everyone was even.
Li Shimin also agreed. Li Shimin knew that Changsun Wuji was a smart man and would definitely agree.
Changsun Wuji didn't want to let it go. He lost the most property, but the emperor had already intended to protect him. It would not be worth it to go against the emperor.
Compromise was nothing more than a helpless act, or in other words, everyone present agreed because they were forced to do so.
As Li Shimin became happy, the atmosphere became lively again.
At this time, the eunuch reported that an official was coming to see the emperor.
Gradually, some low-ranking officials emerged. They were from poor families who had been supported in recent years.
More and more people gathered in the yard, and in the end, the low-level officials didn't even have seats and could only stand by.
(The current AI is too lame, all the results are search results, not intelligent at all.
I searched about the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong, and the answer he gave was that Li Yuan's grandfather and Li Xiaogong's grandfather were brothers, and Li Yuan and Li Xiaogong were uncle and nephew.
I argued with the AI for half an hour, but in the end I still couldn't make it clear. It was too stubborn.
You can give it a try.)
