Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 33 The minister wants to impeach another person!
Li Zhi's impeachment of Du He is Li Zhi's own job.

Li Shimin naturally wouldn't say anything about him.

But if you want to intervene in the security work in Miyagi, you must stretch your hand too far!

As a good father who thinks he knows his son well, Li Shimin certainly wouldn't suspect that Li Zhi had the intention of treason.

But he was still upset.

Because of Li Zhi's behavior, it was somewhat provocative.

Faced with Li Shimin's questioning, Li Zhi stood in the center of the hall and explained calmly: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I don't mean to interfere with AMTD's appointment and dismissal work, but I want to impeach someone!"

"Who?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Zhi chuckled, and said a series of titles loudly and loudly.

"The ones I want to impeach are the chief officer of Jiaohe Road, the general of the right guard, and the secretary of the Ministry of officials, Chen Guogong, Hou Junji! The general!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court hall!
Li Shimin's eyes widened and he looked at his youngest son in disbelief.

And Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Jian, Yang Shidao, Liu Ji and other important officials of the court suddenly turned their heads at the same time and looked at Li Zhi with disbelief!
The person Li Zhi impeached this time is extraordinary!
Unlike the second-generation shrimp like Du He, Chen Guogong Hou Junji is the real founder of the country!
Just a few years ago, during the Tang Dynasty's foreign war against Gaochang Kingdom, Hou Junji, as the chief general, directly destroyed Gaochang Kingdom and expanded the territory for the Great Tang.

Such a pillar of the country dares to impeach rashly, why don't you go to heaven? !

"Why is His Royal Highness Jin so hasty?! That's Chen Guogong. Even if you impeach him, His Majesty will have to inquire about the crime himself."

"That's right, even if Chen Guogong is guilty, it's not something a prince can interfere with!"

"I thought Prince Jin had a reputation as a virtuous man, but I didn't expect him to be so impulsive. It seems I can no longer have expectations for him."

"Chen Guogong is also unlucky, how could such a thing happen?"

……

The court hall was noisy, and all the ministers were discussing the matter of Hou Junji's impeachment in low voices.

After all, this matter is too shocking, except for the emperor himself, who would dare to make trouble with the founding hero?
Even the prince can't just impeach the founding hero, right?
Li Zhi straightened his back and stood upright in the hall.

Hearing the noise coming from his ear, Li Zhi frowned, and shouted: "Silence! The hall is important, no noise!"

Maintaining order in the court should have been the job of counselors and royal officials.

But seeing that Chu Suiliang and Ma Zhou seemed to be immersed in shock and unable to extricate themselves, Li Zhi had to do it for them.

After all, within the scope of the Shi Yushi's responsibilities, it is indeed necessary to maintain order, so it is not an overstep!

I heard a strong and powerful voice resounding in the court hall.

In less than a moment, the court returned to calm.

At this moment, Li Zhi saw Wushuang's eyes falling on him.

Some of them were shocked and some were hesitant.

Of course, there are also things that are not too big a deal to watch.

Faced with so many gazes, Li Zhi not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but enjoyed it very much.

Sure enough, the feeling of attracting attention is different, and it feels like my heart is about to fly.

Li Zhi looked back one by one, smiling and nodding at them as if facing his fans.

That calm and unhurried posture is a bit like that of a big man.

At this time, Li Shimin also woke up from the shock, squinted his eyes and asked, "What crime do you want to impeach Chen Guogong?"

Li Zhi replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Irregular conduct! Exceeding the rules! And disrespect!"

When everyone heard it, they gasped at the same time.

Li Zhi's reasons for impeachment, the first two are nothing, at most they are just a little flaw.

But disrespect is different.

As the saying goes: heinous.

And "disrespect" is one of the ten evils!

It is a crime of the same level as treason, treason and unfilial piety!

It is an unforgivable felony!

In other words, if Li Zhi's impeachment is established, Hou Junji will most likely be convicted and sent to prison.

This is much more exciting than the previous small fights.

The faces of the important officials present changed when they heard this, and Li Shimin's expression became extremely serious.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Li Zhi replied seriously: "I am very clear about what I am doing, and I am also very clear about the consequences of slandering important officials of the court!"

"In that case, let's talk about it carefully."

Now that Li Zhizhen had that certainty, Li Shimin decided to listen to the content of his impeachment.

The matter of Du He's impeachment gave Li Shimin an ominous premonition, making him feel that the problem of Hou Junji might also be related to the conspiracy.

If that's the case, it's a big deal.

Li Shimin sat back on the dragon chair and looked at Li Zhi quietly, waiting for his speech.

Li Zhi got permission, so naturally he wouldn't let Li Shimin wait too long.

He brewed for a few seconds, and then spoke out.

"Speaking of the crime committed by Chen Guogong, it is inextricably linked to Du's consort. It was when I was investigating the case of Du's consort that I accidentally found evidence of Chen Guogong's crime."

"That day, Prince Consort Du visited Chen Guogong, and the two drank and talked happily at the banquet."

"In the beginning, what the two of them talked about was reminiscing about the past."

"The son-in-law captain Du He asked Chen Guogong to tell the story of the competition in the Central Plains on the grounds that he yearned for the glorious past. Chen Guogong naturally could not refuse the junior's admiration, so he shared a paragraph with Du He."

"But when the story was finished and Du He sighed that there would be no chance to make contributions in the future, Chen Guogong said: That's not necessarily the case!"

"Maybe Chen Guogong was already drunk at this time, so he heard Chen Guogong say: Your Majesty is mean and ungrateful, and I don't know how to reward and punish. I made great achievements, but when I returned to the capital, I was condemned and sent to prison. If anyone wants to change the day, I will swear to death." follow!"

Speaking of this, Li Zhi stopped, licked his lips, and did not continue talking.

It's enough to say it here, continuing to talk will only make everyone look ugly, it's not necessary at all.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they also understood the seriousness of the matter.

Everyone looked at Hou Junji whose face had completely darkened with serious expressions.

If this is true, then there is nothing to say. Hou Junji can be pushed out and beheaded with the two crimes of "disrespect" and "intention of rebellion"!

The question is whether the content of Li Zhi's impeachment is true or not.

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and looked at Hou Junji with piercing eyes: "Chen Guogong, tell me, is there any truth to what King Jin said?"

Hou Junji's expression changed. He suddenly knelt down on one knee and shouted injustice: "This matter is purely slander. Your Majesty, please take a closer look! I am wronged, but I have never said these rebellious and unethical remarks!"

Li Shimin was still willing to believe in Hou Junji, but the matter was so important that it was impossible to listen to his one-sided words.
