Datang: Only by resisting the will can one become stronger

Chapter 167

At this time, Li Shimin's punch smashed the dragon case.

This sudden loud bang startled the courtiers in the main hall.

"Pei Lian, as a commonplace, you are above the three princes.

"Could it be that what your eyes are staring at all day is how to calculate an idle Li Qiu, the king of Changze County?"

"If you want to play this book Li Qiu to sell and kill the beasts in the Hibiscus Garden, then I will let you figure it out today.

"It's true that Li Qiu sold and killed those beasts. "

But he used all the money he sold, to buy medicinal herbs, and to ask those

homeless people to cure their diseases!" "Those wild beasts that he killed, he used them to put them into the white porridge that the homeless people ate, so that these homeless people would not starve to death and freeze to death

!" "Also, this white porridge, the meat of these wild beasts, I also ate it!"

"Could it be that I, Li Qiu, as well as the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, are not as good as livestock, just you Pei Lin is pampered and has a noble status?!"

Listening to Li Shimin's reprimand, Pei Lian's head was tightly pressed against the ground, confessing his guilt and planting.

After a while, Li Shimin snorted coldly, "I look at your character, don't say that you are ranked among the third dukes, even above this court, you are not worthy of coming

!" "Zhongshu Province, draft an edict for me, remove Pei Lin from his position, cut off half of the food, let him return to his hometown, and never enter Beijing!"

This punishment was really too heavy, too much to the expectations of all the courtiers!

At this time, Pei Lin himself was also dissatisfied and shouted out in his heart.

"Your Majesty, today is a minister's mouth, and there is a mistake in the first place. "

But the elders of the three dynasties have also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and they have worked diligently for a lifetime. "

You blame the old minister so heavily because of such a thing, aren't you afraid that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world will be cold?"

After listening to his words, Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Pei Lian, with your merits and talents, you can see which one can be worthy of your current status."

"It's only because of the Emperor's grace to you that you were ranked first.

"During the Wude period, there were many mistakes and errors in politics and law, and the governance of local officials was even more disorderly, and you could not escape their responsibility!"

"Now that I am thinking of the old feelings and letting you return to your hometown, what are you not satisfied with?"

Pei Lin is the old minister that the Emperor Taishang relies on the most.

It was also a matter of time before Li Shimin removed him from his post.

It's just that today he died by himself and hit the muzzle of his gun.

Li Shimin also took this opportunity to cut him.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Pei Lin didn't dare to say a word more.

If you continue to entangle, maybe you will have to make some extra severe punishment for yourself.

So he retreated to the side.

At this time, Feng Deyi and other important ministers of the court thought of coming forward to intercede with Pei Lian.

But before they could speak, Li Shimin directly angrily smashed the jade cup on the table to the ground in front of the important minister, and smashed it.

"Before you plead for Pei Lian, show me this first!" After

speaking, Li Shimin handed his codex to the chief eunuch beside him, and then passed it down in turn.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the ministers also respectfully took the codex in turn and opened it to take a look.

I saw a poem written on it: Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

Then, everyone's faces changed slightly.

When everyone finished watching it, Li Shimin on the dragon chair snorted coldly.

"Hmph, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. "

Look, this is the good thing that you imperial ministers and royal relatives have done

!" "In recent days, the weather in Chang'an City has been suddenly cold, and I don't know how many beggars

and homeless people have frozen to death at the door of your mansion!" "And you, singing and dancing in the warm mansion, drinking and talking!"

"Outside the city, tens of thousands of homeless people are on the verge of freezing to death and starving to death.

"You are insensitive, and the only thing you will do is to mobilize an army to control them. "

At this time, the dignified Sikong actually has the heart to play Li Qiu because of a few beasts

?" "It's simply hateful! It's really hateful!"

"Each of you pats your own conscience and asks yourself, are you worthy of your high official position?" "

Are you worthy of those Tang people who are displaced, hungry and cold, and frozen to death in front of your mansion?!"

Last night, I ate the same white porridge with the queen, Li Qiu, the princess in the clouds, and the tens of thousands of homeless people.

"In order to let you officials and lords also taste the suffering of the people, I specially prepared a pot of white porridge in the porch of the entrance hall.

"After retreating from the court for a while, everyone can leave after eating a whole bowl.

"I don't force you to eat those who can't finish it.

"It's just that when you leave, just take off the official hat on your head, because you don't deserve to wear it!"

After speaking, Li Shimin threw up his sleeves and left, retreating.

The other ministers came to the hall outside the hall in confusion.

What used to be a good breakfast has now become just a pot of white porridge that is the same as that eaten by the homeless.

Not to mention eating, but just smelling the white porridge made from brown rice is a little pungent.

Here, the palace guards and eunuchs have long been arranged.

A bowl full of porridge was served to everyone, and the amount was the same for everyone, and there would never be a mistake of half a point.

It's okay to be like those generals who were born as military generals.

He was physically strong, slept in the open during the war, was wounded and bled out, and suffered far more than this bowl of hot white porridge.

So they just felt that the taste was really not very good when they took the first sip, but it was nothing, so they continued to drink, and soon drank a large bowl.

But when it came to those Wenchen, the situation became completely different.

They were all from the noble clan.

Not to mention that he has been golden since he was a child, but he is definitely pampered.

Not to mention such white porridge, they usually don't even eat coarse rice and coarse salt.

How can they endure this hardship when their dietary Xi is almost demanding.

Therefore, when many people drink the first sip of porridge, they feel that the smell is pungent, and the taste is difficult to swallow to the extreme, so they spit it out directly.

At this time, the chief eunuch in charge of supervision on the side shouted loudly, "Your Majesty has an order, but anyone who spits porridge will be fined for one month and an additional bowl." "
