Chen Zhengtai didn't believe that the two living people disappeared like this.

And even if it is gone, it will inevitably be impossible to find the person!

So he immediately ordered someone to continue searching.

But even if I am anxious, I cannot make a big fuss about this kind of search.

If something is heard, people will know... he will be in trouble.

The most terrifying thing is that tomorrow will be a court meeting, and at this time, if the prince does not appear again, it will be awful.

The next day, there was still no news about Li Chengqian...

Chen Zhengtai got up early in the morning, but with his thoughts, he could only wear court clothes and enter the palace in a depressed manner.

It was the grand court meeting in the morning, and only in the afternoon, the rest of the people retreated. At this time... it was the small court.

The scale of Xiaochao is also quite large, with hundreds of people.

Almost all of them were important officials during Li Shimin's reign.

Li Shimin sat down, and the other officials sat down one after another, and everyone gathered together.

Immediately, the Minister of Rites stood up and presented Li Shimin with a letter about Tuyuhun.

Li Shimin seemed to be in a good mood today. He took the letter of the country and looked at it, and said, "This Tuyuhun is quite respectful to my Tang Dynasty. They are facing difficulties now. I hope the Tang Dynasty can provide some support. If it can help with some swords or arrows, it would be better..."

As Li Shimin said, his eyes fell on Chen Zhengtai.

In fact, during the court meeting today, Li Shimin saw that the prince's position was empty. Chen Zhengtai was the youngest secretary of the Zhanshu's residence. The prince disappeared, so of course he had to find Chen Zhengtai.

But in front of so many people, Li Shimin did not ask. Although the officials were full of doubts, he seemed to be nothing.

Li Shimin immediately said, "The court has a bit of controversy over Tuyuhun, and I am still unable to resolve this matter. Dou Luqing, you are the Minister of Rites. I think you have had contact with the envoys of Tuyuhun. What do you think?"

Dou Lukuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun's personnel are like my Tang Dynasty. When I came to Chang'an's envoy, I was respectful to my Tang Dynasty. They repeatedly cried and complained about the Tiel tribe's invasion of them, hoping that the Tang Dynasty could uphold justice."

This attitude is self-evident.

Seeing this opportunity, Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, once Tuyuhun's army is defeated, the Tiele tribe will definitely unify the entire desert. At that time, it will definitely become a major concern for our Tang Dynasty. According to my ministers' opinions, we should give some support to the Tuyuhun people. Otherwise... Tuyuhun would definitely not be able to resist the Tiele tribe."

Li Shimin nodded: "In a few days, I will call the envoy to me and I will ask again."

Seeing Li Shimin wandering, Changsun Wuji struck while the iron was hot: "Can't delay any more. Now some people in the court deliberately interfere with it. Your Majesty... Once the Tiel tribe annexed Tuyuhun, my Tang Dynasty... will inevitably fall into a passive position. Now my Tang Dynasty is in a mess, and it is time to rest with the people. Once the Tiel tribe rises in the desert, the Tang army will have to attack, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent."

Changsun Wuji repeatedly advised him.

Li Shimin was unmoved, and he still wanted to take a look.

He was very cautious about this matter!

But at this moment, one of the ministers stood up and said, "I have something to say, I don't know whether it should be said or not."

Everyone looked at this person, but it was the censor Liu Feng.

Liu Feng... It is said that he was born in poverty before, and it was thanks to the recommendation of the Changsun family that he has today.

Therefore... all the officials knew it well. At this time, Liu Feng stood up and must have something to do with the Changsun family.

Changsun Wuji looked like he had nothing to do with him, but just looked at Chen Zhengtai lightly, and then withdrew his gaze.

Li Shimin glanced at Liu Feng: "What do you want to say?"

Liu Feng said: "Your Majesty... I noticed... a group of unknown merchants customized a lot of iron tools in Erpigou. Thinking of the current war between Tiel tribe and Tuyuhun, I dared to predict that this is probably a great relationship with Tiel tribe..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he frowned, then looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Is that so? Chen Zhengtai, is there any such thing?"

Chen Zhengtai was thinking about the prince in his heart. He now regretted that he was too relieved about the prince at the time, but he still heard what he said in the court. Although Liu Feng's words made him feel a little sudden, he still calmly said: "Your Majesty, since you are opening the door to do business, someone is here to buy it, and the steel workshop will be sold. As for whom, if you want to carefully investigate the other party's identity, there is no way to do this business."

"In this way, what is the difference between Chen Zhanshi and Zijie? Can there be no right or wrong for business?" Liu Feng was furious and said righteously: "I have heard a lot of evil things the Chen family did in Chang'an. I am the censor... Today... I should report to you. Your Majesty, I have listed the thirteen major crimes of the Chen family in Mengjin, and I beg Your Majesty to take a look."

Liu Feng was obviously ready, so after he said that, he immediately took a memorial and submitted it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin frowned. Did the Chen family commit thirteen crimes at once?

He opened the memorial and quickly read what he wrote above. There were indeed many horrifying things inside.

This person on the headlines is to deceive the emperor and blindly favor and indulge Tielou in order to make huge profits. This is a disaster.

Li Shimin's face was a little bad.

As soon as Liu Feng finished speaking, someone among the officials stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that it is inappropriate for Chen Zhan to abolish the public because of his personal destruction. How can the national affairs be abolished and abolished because of Chen's business? If everyone is like this, the suffering will be the people of the Tang Dynasty in the end."

"Your Majesty... Tiele tribe has raised tens of thousands of troops. Now in the desert, the only one who can check and balance the Tiele tribe is Tuyuhun. The Turks are still fighting each other inside. I heard that a large number of Turks defected to Tiele. In the long run, our Tang Dynasty finally solved the Turkish troubles, but now we have to face the more powerful Tiele. If we do not rescue Tuyuhun at this time, the Tang Dynasty will never have peace."

Changsun Wuji was still sitting idle, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

However, one by one, the ministers stood up, including the censors and the ranks of the Ministry of Rites. There were more and more people like this, and in an instant, they occupied 30% of the officials.

At this time, someone continued to say, "Your Majesty, this matter is not a small matter. I beg Your Majesty to think twice. Chen Zhengtai has already lost his conscience for money. Your Majesty loves him so much that he actually ignores my country in the Tang Dynasty. Such a person... If he doesn't get rid of it for a day, he is afraid that the court will be uneasy."

Li Shimin looked at the people, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhengtai had aroused such great public outrage.

but……

Fang Xuanling and others were still sitting firmly, including Du Ruhui and others, without saying a word. Judging from Fang Xuanling's expression, this matter should have nothing to do with him.

Li Shimin couldn't help but stand up: "This is just an unreasonable attack, and there is no evidence. I asked Chen Zhengtai for advice. Chen Zhengtai raised his own opinion. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you today?"

The censor Liu Feng immediately said righteously: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for the hardship of Zhengtai for a long time..."

Speaking of this, Liu Feng choked up: "How could I not know your Majesty's love for him? But Your Majesty... How did Chen Zhengtai repay His Majesty... For his own interests, he actually secretly invested in a thief and ignored the national law. It's really hateful. Whose power is the Chen family bullying men and women in Chang'an City?"

Hearing this... Chen Zhengtai was already trembling with anger.

This time the incident was a big deal. Chen Zhengtai didn't expect that his popularity was so bad that no one spoke for him.

And the people who stood up to impeach themselves... were even countless!

Oh, I feel so angry that my heart and soul hurts!

Chen Zhengtai finally couldn't help but stand up and said, "What are you saying? Liu Feng, how can I indulge the people in my family to bully men and women? Our Chen family, whoever has a relative with me, will most likely be sent to Zheng County to dig coal and copper. Why do you get to your mouth? The children of the Chen family are idle people?"

Liu Feng had a expressionless face and immediately said, "That's even more terrifying. All of these are your Chen Zhengtai's relatives. You Chen Zhengtai treat your close relatives so cruelly, let alone others?"

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Chen Zhengtai suddenly discovered that Liu Feng was a professional troll. No matter what you said, he could find a place to swear, and he would always be so high-sounding and righteous.

However, Changsun Wuji looked like he was watching the fun. He sat upright, without saying a word, just looking at Chen Zhengtai with a smile.

The Changsun family was a royal relative and a great hero in establishing the Tang Dynasty, not to mention... Changsun Wuji is now the Minister of Personnel.

In his hands, countless officials were selected from him. On the surface, although he was not the prime minister, his status was below Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. I was afraid that many times... even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui would respect him three points.

At this time, many people flocked out, obviously aiming at Chen Zhengtai.

This is a weakness of Li Shimin. Li Shimin wants to be a wise monarch, and the wise monarch's standard is to pay more attention to the influence of censors. Now, dozens of people in the court suddenly impeached Chen Zhengtai together. If Li Shimin had full protection, the incident would be spread to the outside court, and I am afraid that people would have a lot of discussion.

Li Shimin had to pay attention to this influence.

Chen Zhengtai, Changsun Wuji can tolerate other things. Even if he supports Tiele and breaks the agreement between Changsun Wuji and Tuyuhun, it is nothing.

Changsun Wuji would not have been skeptical about Chen Zhengtai in this regard, but Chen Zhengtai actually wanted to destroy the marriage between Changsun Chong and Princess Changle, which was an offense to Changsun Wuji's rebellion.

Today, there are many tricks to knock Chen Zhengtai out. How can the Changsun family gain a foothold in Chang'an in the future?
