The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 73 Showdown, I Killed Chai Shao

Li Shimin heard all these words in the back, and immediately sneered again and again: "I just want to set Ye Chen as an example, change the situation where the aristocratic family controls the government and the army, and let the poor people all over the world have a chance to rise!"

"Only by doing this can we weaken the power of the aristocratic family and consolidate the imperial power. They actually want to use this to question my decision? It's ridiculous!"

Chang Le was on the sidelines but didn't think too much, he was only worried about Ye Chen: "But father, Ye Chen is being targeted by so many people, what should we do?"

"My move is also to test Ye Chen to see if he has any way to deal with this pressure. If he really can't stand it, I will come forward and have a showdown with him!"

Li Shimin cast a reassuring look at Changle.

Chang Le breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Ye Chen, pursed his lips, worried about him.

A group of ministers have their own reasons for saying what they say, but most of them are echoing what Changsun Wuji meant, that is to impeach Ye Chen and remove him from his official position!

As for his merits, it is enough to reward him with property, there is no need to confer such a high official position.

Changsun Wugou couldn't help sighing when he heard it, it's fortunate that His Majesty didn't come out, otherwise, how much pressure would His Majesty feel?

A group of ministers talked for half an hour before finally calming down.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

Changsun Wuji took a far-reaching look at Changsun Wugou, and frantically hinted that she should not cover Ye Chen.

The eldest grandson Wugou just pretended not to see it.

That's his own brother, but she is now Li Shimin's wife and the queen of the Great Tang Empire, so naturally she should think about Li Shimin and the country's interests!
The eldest grandson Wuji is the representative of the aristocratic family, and she considers the interests of the aristocratic family, so naturally she can't get along with them.

Otherwise, the country will be in chaos.

"Ye Chen, do you have something to say?"

The eldest grandson Wugou didn't want to answer the officials directly, so he could only look at Ye Chen like kicking a ball.

Ye Chen's face was calm, but he stood up aggressively.

"Qi Queen, I have a lot to say!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Chen glanced at the officials who asked for his dismissal just now, and sneered: "I, Ye Chen, thought that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was inseparable from the contributions of all of you, but I never thought of it, and I admire you!" A group of people are so forgetful!"

"Bold Ye Chen, you dare to say that we have forgotten our roots???"

A group of people shouted in dissatisfaction.

"What is it if you forget your origin????"

Ye Chen yelled angrily, with such a loud voice that it overshadowed the voices of more than a dozen people. They were so scared that they fell silent and closed their mouths one after another.

Ye Chen raised his voice, and continued: "You keep talking about a humble family, and a pariah, all of you go back and check your genealogy, did your ancestors also start from a poor family, and came from a pariah?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was completely dumbfounded.

Yes, although many of them are from rich and powerful backgrounds, they are all from civilian backgrounds.

They scolded the untouchables from a poor family for a long time, but they didn't expect to scold their ancestors in the end.

So everyone fell silent, somewhat ashamed in their hearts.

"Among the people sitting here, there are people whom I, Ye Chen, have admired since I was a child. I have heard about your deeds since I was a child, but now that I have been in touch with them deeply, I have discovered that some people only rely on the shade of the door to get their jobs. There are today's high-ranking straws!"

This scolding was extremely ugly, and many people immediately took their seats, thinking that Ye Chen was scolding them.

So each of them got angry again.

"Queen, look, look, how can such a person who doesn't know the rules entrust him with a heavy responsibility? He dared to raise an army privately back then, and today he dared to scold the officials in public. Given time, he might not be able to do it alone. Court?"

Changsun Wuji blew his beard and stared angrily, and said angrily.

Seeing Ye Chen being so excited, the eldest grandson Wugou was also a little surprised.

His courage is too great.

Although Li Shimin valued him, he was so arrogant that offending the officials would give them a handle.

Li Shimin was already under a lot of pressure, but it would be even more difficult for Li Shimin if he did it like this.

He originally planned for Ye Chen to show up if he couldn't stand it anymore, but now, Li Shimin absolutely couldn't show up again, otherwise a group of ministers would have to cry out.

Why was Qin Qiong forced to come here?
Isn't it because Qin Qiong is seriously ill now, so he can come to Li Shimin to play the emotional card and force him to make a choice?

"Queen!"

At this time, Qin Qiong also stood up with difficulty, looked at Ye Chen complicatedly, sighed helplessly, and took out a playbook from her body.

"This is the solid evidence collected by the minister, which is enough to prove that Ye Chen killed General Chai..."

As she spoke, Qin Qiong's voice became smaller and smaller.

To be honest, he really didn't want to help Changsun Wuji, but Changsun Wuji begged him hard, and he couldn't refuse.

For the benefit of the aristocratic family, sacrificing Ye Chen now is an act he despises.

Although Qin Qiong also came from a poor family, he is now a member of the family, so he naturally has to consider the interests of the family.

It is an iron law that people do not kill themselves.

At first, everyone thought that with these ironclad evidences, even if Li Shimin didn't deal with Ye Chen, it would be impossible.

Unexpectedly, before the evidence was presented, Ye Chen stepped forward and snatched it away.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing?"

Changsun Wuji's eyes widened.

Li Shimin also stood up immediately, his face a little gloomy.

The atmosphere of the audience fell into a chill instantly, and the soldiers in charge of guards around them also put up a vigilant formation, and if there was anything wrong, they immediately stepped forward to arrest people.

"irrefutable evidence?"

Ye Chen sneered, tore up the memorabilia, and said, "Aren't you tired of collecting these?"

"Stop pretending, I have a showdown, Chai Shao and his son, I killed them!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

The eldest grandson Wugou couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up immediately, and said excitedly: "Ye Chen, you, is what you said true?"

Li Shimin and Chang Le were behind the screen, their faces were full of shock, and Li Yurou opened his mouth wide, staring in his eyes and said, "Wow! He's so handsome! No wonder my sister loves him so much, he's really masculine..."

"Yu Rou!!!"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he immediately glared at her.

Li Yurou shrank her neck in fright, and realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly fell silent and kept her mouth shut.

"He admitted, Ye Chen admitted!!!"

Changsun Wuji opened his eyes wide and pointed at Ye Chen excitedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know you are listening!!! Did you hear that? Ye Chen said he admitted it!!! He killed General Chai and Chai Lingwu, it's simply Heinous! Unforgivable!"

All the ministers of the court also stood up excitedly and petitioned in unison: "Your Majesty, please see clearly, and please avenge General Chai, so as to comfort General Chai's soul in heaven!"

Chang Le was so anxious that he quickly grabbed his father's sleeve: "Father, Ye Chen must have been forced to help..."

"Ye Chen, are you being forced into helplessness?"

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he asked in a serious tone.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Ye Chen also looked in the direction of the screen, held his head high, and replied forcefully: "No! Chai Shao, Chai Lingwu, I brought them into Diezhou City, killed them, killed them, I still have evidence!"

With that said, Ye Chen directly took a canvas bag and poured out the contents.
