Chapter 1247 Your Majesty Wants to Protect the Prince by Force
Not to mention the civil and military ministers of Taiji Palace, even the emperor was anxious to death at this moment.
How could he want to go to court, but his ministers didn't come at this time, and he, the emperor, had to wait here?
Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?
Besides, today's court meeting is not about Zhao Chen's own business.
So what time is it?
"This is a bit excessive, isn't it? When was it?" A court official said.
"No, even His Majesty's eldest son shouldn't be so rude."
"After all, I have been out in the wild for more than ten years, so I can understand it." ??
"hey-hey."
The civil and military officials began to speak. They were very dissatisfied that Zhao Chen had not come yet.
It is inevitable that some people will start to feel weird.
"Your Majesty, the court meeting has already started for a long time. How about we discuss other matters first?" Fang Xuanling said to the emperor.
His legs are basically in good condition.
But in order to let the emperor know how he was dealt with regarding Li Tai last time, Fang Xuanling chose to continue sitting in the chair.
Fang Xuanling originally had a good impression of Li Tai.
But after what happened last time, he was completely disappointed with Li Tai.
Now that Li Tai is imprisoned in the East Palace, Fang Xuanling is somewhat eager for the emperor to punish Li Tai.
It is best to drive Li Tai out of Chang'an.
Because Fang Xuanling didn't know whether there would be other troubles if Li Tai continued to stay in Chang'an.
"The prime minister is right. Since Zhao Chen hasn't come yet, I think something has delayed him."
"The matter between the Crown Prince and Kong Yingda is very harmful, and all the officials hope that His Majesty will punish him." Wei Zheng also spoke.
They didn't just have one thing about Zhao Chen's identity that they urgently needed to resolve.
The spirit of Li Tai and Kong Yingda in Chang'an almost overturned the Tang Dynasty.
If so, there is no punishment for
With them, wouldn’t the Tang Dynasty be completely in chaos in the future?
"Your Majesty, I all hope that your Majesty will deal with Kong Yingda and the others."
All the officials shouted in unison.
They were also worried that the emperor would be embarrassed, so the officials deliberately omitted Li Tai.
But if the emperor didn't want to punish Li Tai, the officials would definitely not agree.
What's more, not only did they not agree, Zhao Chen would definitely not agree either.
The emperor looked at the officials in front of him. From a personal perspective, he was not willing to deal with Li Tai.
The emperor knew that a large part of the reason why Li Tai was able to reach this point had something to do with him, Li Shimin.
If Zhao Chen's identity had been revealed immediately after he recognized him.
After Li Chengqian's incident, he immediately made Zhao Chen the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
It is estimated that Li Tai will not reach this stage.
But the emperor is still the emperor after all, and he cannot decide many things based on his own emotional changes.
"The prince, Kong Yingda and others, bring them all up." The emperor waved to the guards of Taiji Palace expressionlessly.
Soon, Li Tai, Kong Yingda and others were brought up.
There were as many as fifty people in the group.
There were many people who looked familiar from the court in the past.
At this moment, Li Tai has long lost his former charm, and his originally fat body is now even more horribly bloated.
His eyes were almost covered by the fat on his face.
For a moment, the emperor didn't even recognize Li Tai.
Empress Changsun did not come to Tai Chi Hall today, otherwise she would have felt uncomfortable seeing Li Tai in this state.
"The guilty minister Li Tai, pays homage to the emperor." Li Tai lay on the ground and shouted to the emperor.
Kong Yingda's legs were broken, and he has long lost his former glory.
His gray hair was spread around his face, and his hands were tightly clasped by shackles.
The rest of the gangsters also knelt behind them, and everyone looked frightened.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Li Tai acted perversely during your Majesty's personal campaign against Goguryeo and treated the ministers of the DPRK with cold-blooded methods."
"Liu Zhenghui, the former Minister of Household Affairs, was sentenced to death."
"Shang Shu's right servant shot Fang Xuanling and had his legs broken in front of his family."
"It is unkind to treat the ministers of the DPRK in this way."
"Your Majesty is personally conducting the expedition, but the Crown Prince is going against the grain. He disregards His Majesty's safety on the front line and does not allow support from the rear. This is unfilial."
"Thousands of years ago, the Duke of Zhao Chen was recognized by His Majesty as his identity. However, the Crown Prince plotted against Zhao Chen several times because of this."
"It is unjust for brothers to kill each other."
"When the family and country are in trouble, the prince only cares about himself. This is disloyal."
"Your Majesty, how can such an unfaithful, unkind, unfilial person continue to be the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty?"
"For such a serious crime, I ask your Majesty to depose him from the position of crown prince."
"Judgment and execution!"
Wei Zheng walked out of the queue and stood in the middle of the Tai Chi Hall, with a look of resentment on his face.
What he said was actually discussed with the officials.
But the emperor was stunned immediately.
The emperor did not expect that Wei Zheng would enumerate Li Tai's crimes when he came up, and then directly ask himself to sentence Li Tai to death.
Li Tai is the son of his emperor.
Even if it was a huge crime to kill him, the emperor would not be able to do it.
The emperor's face turned dark at that time.
He also found that after Wei Zheng said this, no one from the officials said anything against it.
Looking at Li Tai again, his face was full of ridicule.
"Xuancheng, Li Tai is my prince.
. "The emperor looked at Wei Zheng and said slowly.
In fact, the emperor wanted to remind Wei Zheng how he could kill his son.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zheng said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Based on what the prince has done, the people of the world will definitely support your majesty in deposing the prince."
"Since he is not a prince, and he has made such a big mistake, he will be beheaded if he is beheaded, and the people of the world will definitely applaud him."
The emperor's face was even more ugly.
Li Tai's position as crown prince must be abolished, but the emperor never thought about killing Li Tai.
It was Li Chengqian, the prince who was not his own son. He made a big mistake, but the emperor still let him go.
He was also made a hereditary king of Lujiang County.
When you get to Li Tai, why would you want to kill him?
"But I heard that everything the prince did was instigated by Kong Yingda?" The emperor looked at Wei Zheng and then at Kong Yingda.
At this moment, Kong Yingda was speechless.
In prison, he was tortured to the point of being transformed into a human being.
If it were not necessary to save his life, Kong Yingda would have died in prison long ago.
"Your Majesty, are you trying to protect the crown prince?" Wei Zheng was also annoyed.
Li Tai almost killed the emperor. Now that Li Tai was captured, the emperor still didn't want to kill him?
You know, if it weren't for Zhao Chen who saved the emperor and rushed back to Chang'an thousands of miles away, he saved the whole situation.
The emperor's fate was unknown, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty had long been replaced by him, Li Tai.
Is there still a chance that the emperor will be here, and he still wants to save Li Tai's life?
The emperor was also confused by Wei Zheng's words.
He didn't want to kill Li Tai, after all, he was still his son.
But Wei Zheng's words made him don't know how to answer.
Does he want to forcefully protect Li Tai?
With all the civil and military ministers in front of him, would they agree to let Li Tai go?
