Datang: Rebirth of Li Chengqian, the beginning of the treason interrogation

Chapter 53: Death is death
"Your Majesty, Cui Renshi and other counselors are outside the palace asking for an audience!"

Inside the Liangyi Palace, a eunuch came hurriedly to report.

"Here they come again!" Li Shimin stood up and walked back and forth. He had thought that this was the case. This group of remonstrators were just against the heavens, the earth and the emperor. He wanted to hide, but he couldn't.

Moreover, if this group of people cannot be convinced, the policies of the Secretariat and the Ministry of Personnel will be stuck.

"No!" Li Shimin had not yet figured out how to deal with this group of people.

"Father, let me handle it."

Li Chengqian said that they were all a group of sharp-tongued people, and only by imitating Chongba could they be made obedient.

Li Er did so many absurd things, but he deserved no more than one crime, namely, killing his loyal ministers.

"Okay!" Li Shimin nodded and quickly walked away from the back screen. Facing this group of counselors, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Wang Gui, Cui Renshi and other ministers entered the hall, but when they saw Li Chengqian sitting on the seat, they couldn't help but frown.

"Your Highness, where is His Majesty?" Cui Renshi asked directly.

"This prince exercises the power of regent, so if you have anything to say to me, it's the same."

Li Chengqian looked at the crowd and smiled. They were all high-ranking officials from aristocratic families and all the channels of communication were controlled by them. Kong Yingying and Zhang Xuansu were also among them.

"Your Highness, please think twice. Opening schools among the people will endanger the country and must not be implemented." Cui Renshi said.

"I understand. You can leave now." Li Chengqian said with a faint smile.

Is that all? This surprised all the ministers, who thought he was going to die for his advice.

"Your Highness, do you disagree with opening schools among the people?" Zhang Xuansu asked, feeling that it was not the case.

"I remember that the remonstrance official only has the power to make suggestions. How can he influence the decision of His Majesty or even me?"

Li Chengqian spoke coldly and glanced at the ministers in front of him unkindly.

“This…” Cui Renshi’s words came to his lips but he swallowed them back. This is what happened.

"I have heard your advice, but I don't think it is reasonable, so I will not accept it. Just do what you need to do." Li Chengqian waved his hand impatiently.

Is this the solution? Li Shimin, standing behind the screen, was very surprised.

"If Your Highness insists on doing so, we have no choice but to die in remonstrance. Otherwise, the country will be shaken and we will all be doomed to death. I hope Your Highness will accept it." Cui Renshi spoke righteously, standing with his head held high, as if justice is in his hands.

"Doctor Cui wants to die for his remonstrance? Who else?" Li Chengqian was indifferent and just looked at them quietly.

"We are willing to die for our honest advice!" Several doctors stepped forward to give advice.

"Well, our Tang Dynasty is truly strong and resolute!" Li Chengqian laughed.

"In this case, Your Highness agrees."

Cui Renshi sneered in his heart. Even Li Shimin was afraid of this trick and forced his ministers to death. How could Li Chengqian, a young boy, want to fight with them?

"I am just sensing your courage. Are you prepared to crash to death on these steps or on these pillars?"

Li Chengqian had a sneer on his face.

"Your Highness, you are insulting us. Today, I, Cui Renshi, will die as a warning to you. I hope Your Highness will do the same."

Cui Renshi's face flushed red. He didn't want to bump into her, but was forced into a dilemma by Li Chengqian's words.

"Well, Doctor Cui is a real hero. The historians are here to record: Cui Renshi died to give direct advice, but Crown Prince Li Chengqian did not accept it."

Li Chengqian looked aside and said playfully.

"Doctor Cui, please start your performance. You will be remembered for generations now." Master Cui Ren felt an unbearable pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. He was so angry that the prince did not play by the rules.

"I want to see His Majesty!" Cui Renshi finally roared, full of indignation.

"You are a bunch of hypocrites. If you dare to die and make direct appeals, I will still look up to you. You are just seeking fame and reputation for your own benefit. You are talking about national justice."

"Military generals fight to the death, loyal ministers die admonishing, but where are your literary bones?"

Li Chengqian angrily rebuked that when it comes to a matter of life and death, these people from the aristocratic families are the most afraid of death, because they have endless wealth and honor to enjoy while they are alive.

"Prince, please do not underestimate us. I, Cui Renshi, will die to advise you against it."

Cui Renshi was so angry that he slammed into a pillar.

"Bang" sound.

Blood flowed from Cui Renshi's forehead, and he fell down after staggering a few steps.

"Doctor Cui!" the ministers shouted.

Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat at this moment. His integrity was ruined and he was accused of forcing a minister to death who gave him advice.

"Good! Good." Li Chengqian stood up and clapped his hands. "Someone, come and see if Doctor Cui is dead."

A Dragon Warrior rushed over, squatted in front of Cui Renshi and others, and diagnosed them.

"Your Majesty, Doctor Cui just fainted, he is fine!"

Fortunately, after hearing what Long Wuwei said, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can you call him a deadly remonstrance if he's not dead yet? Please help him."

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone in the audience stared at him with wide eyes, including the Dragon Warrior Guard, who had a look of disbelief on his face.

How could he really die if he was hit? If he didn't die, and he was still alive, he could still enjoy the reputation of dying for his advice. That would be too good to be true.

"Why, as the regent, I can't give orders to the Dragon Guards anymore?" Li Chengqian looked at the Dragon Guards.

"Crack!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was serious, Long Wuwei stretched out his hands and easily broke Cui Renshi's neck.

It wasn't a life-threatening remonstration, but it became a real life-threatening remonstration.

The whole audience was shocked. What kind of prince is this? Isn’t he too cruel?
"Is there anyone else who wants to die?"

Li Chengqian's cold gaze slowly swept over everyone present. Everyone couldn't help but shiver, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. The murderous aura of this prince was too strong!

"Your Majesty is kind and compassionate, so he won't argue with you. But I am different. If anyone wants to die, just stand up and I will help him."

A good man is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden. Today he wants to establish his authority and also to put an end to the arrogance of these doctors who give advice.

"Everyone, please remember your identity and responsibilities. You only have the right to give advice. The world still belongs to the Li family."

Li Chengqian exuded a fierce murderous intent. His eyes were like sharp blades, staring coldly at the nobles in front of him.

"Your Highness, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, you are so cruel and bloodthirsty. We will definitely report this to His Majesty!"

Kong Yingda plucked up his courage and confronted him. He knew that this matter was no longer just a small matter in the school, but involved a problem involving Li Chengqian himself.

"Okay, then go ahead and give it a try, but you'd better be prepared to die for your advice, otherwise His Majesty may not listen to you."

Li Chengqian sneered with a hint of sneer on his face, and said sarcastically without disguising it.
