Chapter 422: The minister intends to file a lawsuit against the current emperor.
"His Highness the Crown Prince indeed did not participate in the affairs of Hu County..."
Wei Shuyu replied with a smile, "However, you have interfered in the affairs of the King of Wei."
Swish.
Li Chengqian's expression changed drastically.
He was at odds with Li Tai.
Li Tai always sabotages him, and now he finally has a chance to get back at Li Tai.
How could he possibly remain inactive?
"When the officials dispatched by the King of Wei were collecting taxes, the Crown Prince instructed the merchants to refuse to pay, which led to a conflict..."
"Then the Crown Prince can take the opportunity to impeach the King of Wei."
Holy crap...
Li Tai widened his squinty eyes.
Logically, he should be furious that Li Chengqian tricked him.
But at this moment he was very happy.
Yes, I'm very happy.
Not only him, but also Li Ke and Li You were very satisfied.
Why?
Because there were several princes who had a chance to seize the throne.
They've all been sued.
None of us are good people; we're all back to square one...
"Wei Shuyu, speak with evidence!" Li Chengqian pointed at Wei Shuyu and scolded him.
"evidence?"
Wei Shuyu glanced at Li Tai.
Do I need to find this myself?
I estimate that Li Tai would be happy to provide it.
“Brother, what’s done is done, what’s there to argue about?”
"Exactly, exactly. Those cowardly merchants will confess everything if you scare them a little."
"To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue; Your Majesty must not remain stubbornly ignorant."
“Brother, Uncle Yu has already brought the case to the Emperor’s presence, so he must have evidence.”
Li Tai, Li Ke, and Li You took turns offering their advice.
The implication is self-evident...
Come on, join the defendants' family!
"asshole."
Li Chengqian clenched his fist in anger: "I never did such a thing, it's all a frame-up and a rumor!"
So you're unrepentant?
The group turned their gazes toward Wei Shuyu.
You can't show favoritism.
You've criticized us all, but the Crown Prince is unharmed.
We can't stand that.
But if you also criticize the Crown Prince, you'll still be the lovable Little Wei.
"Actually, the merchant you persuaded was forced into such a terrible situation by the King of Wei's men that he confessed on his own..."
Wei Shuyu was also quite speechless.
That's just how bizarre things are.
The merchant, who had been oppressed so badly, shouted: "I am the prince's man!"
"presumptuous."
Li Chengqian vehemently denied it: "To think you can convict me with just a merchant's words is absolutely impossible!"
The ministers nodded.
indeed.
Li Chengqian is the crown prince, and unless there is evidence directly related to him, a few words are useless.
"Well..."
Wei Shuyu suddenly said, "You do not have direct contact with the merchants, but Du He, who is with you, frequently appears in Hu County."
"In fact, the merchant even left behind a letter as evidence of his self-protection."
Swish.
Li Chengqian's face turned deathly pale.
Du He was his confidant, regardless of whether they had a direct relationship.
Once it's stained with poop, it stinks, and you can't get rid of it no matter how hard you try.
The courtiers remained silent.
Why can't you just be a good crown prince? Why do you have to go against the King of Wei?
Now look what's happened, I've gotten myself into this mess too.
"What about Choi Shin-ki?"
Li Chengqian asked unwillingly, "Why don't you mention his use of excessive force?"
Isn't it just about hurting each other?
Come on, who's afraid of who?
Destroy them all, and none of them will escape!
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Cui Yixuan immediately stepped forward and said, "My son would never do such a thing!"
"Why not?"
Li Chengqian replied angrily, "His outrageous deeds have all reached my ears..."
“Those who refuse to pay the fines are not only beaten, but also submerged in pig cages and soaked in cesspools…”
“These things are simply outrageous.”
Cui Yixuan's expression immediately darkened.
It's Xiao Wei who's suing you, so why are you still targeting my son?
"You must speak with evidence. Without evidence, you cannot convict my son!"
Cui Yixuan returned Li Chengqian's words verbatim.
Does this even need evidence?
Li Chengqian pointed outside the Taiji Hall and shouted, "Go out and ask anyone; everyone knows about his behavior."
"..."
Cui Yixuan's lips twitched.
What a disappointing son!
If you had just stood up for yourself, I wouldn't be in such a passive position in the imperial court.
"Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not?" Wei Shuyu said at this moment.
"What's up?"
"What I want to say is that Little Jiji did indeed make a mistake..."
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "But he already paid out of his own pocket yesterday to return the money that was forcibly collected, and he has been forgiven by the merchants."
"Therefore, I believe there is no need to file a complaint."
"..."
Li Chengqian was dumbfounded.
Is this even possible?
She secretly glanced at Cui Yixuan.
Oh no, I've inexplicably offended the Cui family as well.
Why am I bothering Choi Sin-ki for no reason...?
As long as this stubborn kid doesn't rebel, he'll at most get a scolding or a beating...
The next day, he appeared before the world as energetic and vigorous as ever.
That's enough.
Li Shimin's face turned pale.
They've already been proven guilty, aren't they embarrassed enough already?
Li Shimin looked at Wei Shuyu: "Do you have anything else to sue?"
"Your Majesty..."
Wei Shuyu continued bowing, "Your subject also wishes to file a lawsuit against Li Chongyi..."
There really is...
Li Shimin was at a loss for words.
After bullying my son, now you're bullying my nephew, aren't you?
"What did he do this time?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.
"He didn't do anything..."
Wei Shuyu thought for a moment and replied, "But as the acting head of Hu County, he turned a blind eye to all the things that happened in Hu County."
"I believe he has neglected his duties."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth.
He looked at a certain spot ahead.
Why didn't Li Xiaogong come to court today?
If you want to attack Xiao Wei, I will absolutely not stop you.
Anyone who tries to stop me is a little dog!
"Is there anything else you want to sue?"
Li Shimin said impatiently, "Just tell me everything at once!"
My son and nephew have both been sued.
You can sue whomever you want now, anyway, I don't have many direct descendants left.
Oh, and it would be best to sue Father Emperor as well.
That way he won't be so arrogant and domineering all the time.
"some."
Wei Shuyu bowed in response.
"explain!"
"Reply to Your Majesty."
After bowing, Wei Shuyu raised his head and looked at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I wish to lodge a complaint!"
"Bold."
"presumptuous."
"court death……"
The courtiers who had been watching the spectacle suddenly transformed into righteous messengers, each one fiercely rebuking the others.
“Wei Shuyu, you dare to offend the Emperor! You are simply courting death.”
"His Majesty's benevolence and power are boundless; how dare you, a mere child, slander him?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Shuyu has been speaking recklessly and uttering outrageous remarks in court, showing no regard for imperial authority. I humbly request Your Majesty to have him torn apart by five horses!"
"I second that proposal."
"I second that proposal."
"I second that proposal..."
The ministers were more united than ever before.
To file a complaint against the current emperor in the imperial court.
This is tantamount to the emperor being at fault, which indirectly proves the incompetence of his ministers.
This is absolutely intolerable!
at the same time.
The historian, who was writing, suddenly trembled and wrote crookedly.
To file a lawsuit against the current emperor?
His body began to tremble.
They're here, they're here...
We appeal to His Majesty the Emperor!
An extraordinary event, a chance to surpass Sima Qian's achievements... it's here!
today……
No one can stop Xiao Wei from appealing to the emperor; I'll fight anyone who comes!
