When everyone was praising Li Shimin, there was always a discordant voice.

The owner of the voice was naturally Li Shen, and no one would be so bold.

Being fined three years' salary was a heavy blow to Li Shen.

Do you really think that your salary for the twelve years before and after the New Year comes from the wind?

"Why, does King Ji have any objections?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with a sullen face. This rebellious son had now met his best end.

He actually came out to look for trouble.

"Your Highness, I have no objection, but I want to ask what the punishment should be for falsely accusing the prince."

Li Shen quickly shook his head and changed the subject, thinking, just go ahead and knock on the door.

However, the person who caused you to have your money deducted must not be let off.

"Your Majesty, the Censorate has the power to report any news that comes to mind. Censor Wang is doing his job, so it shouldn't be considered a false accusation."

Cui Renzhi stood up immediately when he heard Li Shen's words.

It can be seen that Prince Ji wanted to take revenge on Censor Wang and took action against him.

Anyone who falsely accuses a prince will at least be dismissed from office. If Censor Wang is dismissed from office, the family will lose some experience.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and have no second thoughts, let alone falsely accusing the Almighty King."

Wang Yushi also realized the change in the situation at this moment, and immediately expressed his loyalty to Li Shimin.

Now everyone understood what Prince Ji meant when he said accusation instead of impeachment at the beginning.

It turned out that Prince Ji had already planned it out long ago, and would pursue the charge of false accusation when the time came.

“I have a different opinion on this. Censor Wang is an adult, not a child.

You should be responsible for what you say and do.

Otherwise, if everyone in the world follows suit, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”

Li Shen said sarcastically.

"Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness Prince Ji said makes sense. Although the censors can report on the news, they must have a basis and evidence, and cannot make up stories out of thin air.

You must know that the court is not a place without law, and those who speak nonsense will be punished.

Wei Chong agreed with what Li Shen said.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then what is the role of the censors? By then, everyone in the Censorate will be in danger, always fearing that they will impeach the wrong person and be accused of false accusations.

Who will dare to speak out in the court from now on?"

Cui Renzhi refuted.

"Your Majesty, I agree with what Censor Cui said. The Censorate was established to monitor all officials and report any news.

If you still say it is a false accusation, then the Censorate will be nothing more than a formality in the future."

Zheng Jingsi followed closely behind. They had to protect Wang Yushi, not just because of Wang Yushi himself.

It is also a kind of confrontation, a confrontation with the Prince Ji's Mansion.

They failed to overthrow Prince Ji this time. If Prince Ji were to take down another censor,

Then they will really be defeated this time.

Next, the aristocratic families and the Wei family took turns to present facts and reason, each holding their own views and refusing to give in to the other.

"Okay, Assistant Machine, you are the chief judge, what do you think?"

Just as the two groups were arguing, Li Shimin interrupted them.

Throw the question to Changsun Wuji.

Zhang Sun Wuji bowed deeply to Li Shimin:

“Your Majesty, I believe that the Censorate has its own principles.

The power of the Censorate was granted by Your Majesty.

It is the responsibility of the Censorate to report any news and monitor all officials.

Since it is a responsibility, I think that Wang Yushi should not be considered to have made a false accusation.

It is also the duty of Wang Yushi.”

During the reign of Zhangsun Wuji, Censor Wang made it clear, which was also an explanation to the aristocratic families.

"Well, my dear minister, what you said is absolutely right. Censor Wang was doing his job and should not be punished.

Prince Ji, this matter ends here. No more trouble should be caused.

Go back and reflect on your mistakes honestly."

In the end, Li Shimin listened to Zhangsun Wuji's opinion and acquitted Wang Yushi.

Since Li Shen is fine, there's no need to create trouble. He's just a small censor in the Censorate, and they can deal with him whenever they want.

"Yes, Father. I will follow your teachings." Li Shen also knew that it would be difficult to convict someone of a crime.

After all, that is the duty of the censor.

All problems can be solved by reporting it.

It was just that Li Shen was unwilling to accept this, because he was fined another three years' salary.

I even wanted to kill him myself.

"Okay, in that case, the case is closed. As for the person behind the scenes, I will personally send someone to investigate.

Do you have any other opinions, my dear ministers?"

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked around and found that no one stood up.

Only then did he look at Wang De.

"Dismiss the court..." Wang De shouted loudly.

All the ministers saluted together.

“Farewell, Your Majesty.

As everyone watched, Li Shimin left with Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

"Oh, I have to thank Duke Zhao for his help this time."

When Li Shen saw Changsun Wuji, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I am not helping you, but for the sake of fairness and justice in the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun Wuji quickly explained that there were still many people here.

Li Shen actually greeted him so openly. Was he afraid that others didn't know about their relationship?

"Haha, Duke Zhao, you are too polite. No matter what the reason is, I want to thank you, Duke Zhao.

It’s all because of Duke Zhao, who has always upheld the Tang Dynasty’s philosophy of governing the country according to law.

Only in this way can I be protected from being harmed by evil people.

If I have time, I will host a banquet for Duke Zhao."

Li Shen chuckled and said to Changsun Wuji. When Changsun Wuji saw Li Shen's smile, he always felt that he was laughing at him.

“Your Highness Prince Ji, please don’t be polite. I hope Your Highness Prince Ji will take care of himself and not make enemies everywhere.

I have official duties to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Changsun Wuji didn't want to bother with Li Shen, so he found an excuse and left.

"Tsk, what's the big deal? I still have official duties to attend to."

Li Shen laughed disdainfully and left the hall.

When I went out, I happened to see Li Zhi and Li Tai.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Nine, but it seems like they don't really care about you today.

If I don't have any other evidence today, then I can only..."

Having said this, Li Shen looked at Li Zhi and smiled mysteriously.

"Li Shen, don't go too far, leave some room for others so that we can meet again in the future.

Do you really want to be my enemy?

Li Zhi's face was gloomy and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

However, Li Shen didn't care at all, but laughed:

"Haha, how dare I be an enemy of Brother Nine? I just want you to know,

I have many methods, which are beyond your imagination.

I hope you won’t provoke me again in the future, otherwise, even if my mother is around, I won’t let you go.

Just take care of yourself. "

"Your Majesty, His Majesty has summoned Your Majesty to the Liangyi Palace for an audience."

(Today is New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy New Year's Eve and a happy reunion.

It was a heavy snowstorm here, and my car got stuck when I was going home at night.

When my father came over from afar with a shovel in his hand, it was truly art shining into reality.

I hope all book lovers will cherish every year spent with their parents.

Don’t think they are annoying, because you may not have the chance to be annoyed when you want to be annoyed in the future.)
