The sound of the morning rumbles and the sound of the evening rumbles to the moon rise.

"Book of Tang" records: At dusk, the bells and drums are 800 times sound and the door is closed; at 5 o'clock, the drums are launched from the inside, the drums are carried and the streets are steadily, and the gates of the market are opened, and the drums are three thousand times, and the colors are stopped.

From this we can see that the morning dynasty of the Tang Dynasty began around five in the morning.

The emperors of the Tang Dynasty had to attend court every day, and of course there were times of rest.

Officials of all levels have fixed rules for court attendance:

The civil and military officers from the sixth to ninth ranks in Beijing and descendants of the emperors of the previous dynasty will attend the court meeting on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

The civil servants in Beijing from the first to fifth ranks, officials under the sixth rank and below in the two provinces of the Secretariat, the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, the Ph.D. of the Shangshu and the Left and Left Departments and the Office of the Sixth Department have to attend court every day except for their holidays, so they are called the Constant Officer.

Military officers above the third rank were in Beijing, namely the Generals of the Sixteen Guards and the Generals, and they lasted once every three days, so they were called the Nine Venerables.

The fourth and fifth rank military officers in Beijing and the officers and soldiers who entered Beijing to guard the emperor's emperor once every five days, so they were called the Sixth Inspectors.

Students who study in the Imperial College and Hongwenguan have a court ceremony once a season, and those who come to the court meet with the emperor's princes, and have a court ceremony once a day.

Of course, attending court does not mean that officials will definitely see the emperor, but it just represents a ritual.

Those with low official prices or low rankings are waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall.

These people can enter the hall only if they are summoned by the emperor or ask for a report if they have any questions.

If he was not punished, Yang Fan, as the Minister of Rites, needed to enter the Tai Chi Hall to pay tribute.

It is probably the first time he went to court in Japan, but now he is left outside. Although his face is thick and he is slightly hot.

As time passed, the sky became brighter, and Yang Fan could clearly look at the Tai Chi Hall.

The steps of Tai Chi Hall are paved with marble, with fences on the periphery, and the column piers and railings are also carefully carved in marble.

The eaves of the hall are decorated with gilded dragon heads, as well as various birds, beasts, and landscape patterns.

The front eaves are like wooden stilt houses, with golden glazed tiles covered with waxed tops and colorful dragon-patterned arch beads on the top, making them shining brightly.

However, the whole style shows not luxury, but the lush and simple history.

Time is in Yang Fan's eyes, and in the west, passing by.

Since the length of the court was not fixed, but determined by the amount of affairs of the court, the officials who attended the court retreated one after another before the hour of the year arrived.

However, Yang Fan and the others were summoned into the hall by the eunuchs.

The Tai Chi Hall is deep and three times deep. The walls inside the hall are painted with colorful decorations, interior seats, screens, and fumigation furnaces and candlesticks on both sides.

Although it was already bright, the Tai Chi Hall was still brightly lit, and the big red candle that was one foot tall was blazing, illuminating all the seals in the hall.

There is a bronze furnace and cauldron in every corner of the hall. The special wood and carbon inside are burning vigorously, and the air is mixed with a faint fragrance. Obviously, there is incense inside the cauldron.

The heat came to my face, instantly driving away the wet morning dew and the coldness of winter, and I felt warm as spring.

This is a world of difference compared to the whistling wind outside the hall.

From ancient times to the present, there are always a small group of people in the world who enjoy the best conditions.

No wonder no matter which field it is, one or two have sharpened their heads and climbed up.

Unfortunately, at least the fourth-rank officials who could enter the Tai Chi Hall and sit in court were all fourth-rank officials.

After entering the hall, there were seven or eight officials inside, almost all of them in purple official uniforms.

Obviously, almost all the court officials holding authority in the court are here.

Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon chaise, wearing a yellow court robes, and his pair of tiger eyes glanced at everyone.

At this time, Li Shimin's face was as deep as water without anger, and he could not see any joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Because no one spoke, the hall seemed a little quiet, and even the sound of the candle burning could be heard.

As Cheng Chumo and his men were carried in by the guards, the hall suddenly became lively.

They insisted on implementing Yang Fan's tactics without saying a word all night, humming weakly, and the sound seemed extremely clear in the Tai Chi Hall.

Those who don’t know think they are terminally ill!

This sub-scene directly made Li Shimin's eyes twitch, and Li Tai was so angry that his teeth were almost smoothed.

These playboys are so good at pretending, and Yang Fan is even more ill-fated.

After Yang Fan and his friends saluted, Li Shimin snorted and turned to the ministers in front of him.

"My dear friends, what happened is as I said just now. What do you think should be dealt with?" Li Shimin's tone was stable, and there seemed to be a hint of anger in his voice.

After a group of relatives from the royal family, they fought for the sake of women jealousy. What do the people in Chang'an City think about this?

It is obviously a corruption of the image of the court, what kind of tradition is it?

But what made Li Shimin even more angry was that things were far less simple than they seemed on the surface.

Although it seems to be a fight caused by a woman on the surface.

However, after Li Junxian's investigation, the fuse may have been caused by the incident of Gu Bingcheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites' Host and Guest Office.

If Gu Bingcheng hadn't wanted to frame Yang Fan, if Yang Fan hadn't fought back and took Gu Bingcheng down, it wouldn't have caused a series of things to happen later.

Li Shimin even more unexpectedly, because of his wolf-like cultivation of heirs, the power of King Li Tai of Wei was already so huge before he knew it.

At the court meeting just now, the prince's gang and the King of Wei and the gang even attacked each other. The court officials were ashamed of quarreling in the market.

Obviously, an extremely huge force had gathered behind both of them, which Li Shimin didn't want to see.

Because in the long run, no matter who ascends to the throne, they will be subject to the siege of the forces behind them in the future.

As an emperor who puts royal interests first, how could Li Shimin allow this phenomenon to occur?

However, this kind of thing cannot be directly used on the table, and this is also the place where Li Shimin is angry.

If all the punishment is punished, I feel that there is a big problem. If there is no punishment, what should I do if everyone follows the example in the future?

Now I can only take advantage of the issue!

After all, the fight that openly gathered in public places in Chang'an City has a great impact and they have to be beaten.

There was a silence in the hall, and the ministers looked at me and I felt a little embarrassed.

Especially Cheng Yaojin and the others had just used dinner and washed up last night, but Li Shimin sent someone to tell his boy that he had a conflict with King Li Tai of Wei, and asked them to go to the palace to lead people today.

It was a bit embarrassing that his own boy was criticized and punished by Li Shijie for causing trouble. For a while, several people didn't know what to say.

They don't want to say it, but some people want to take this opportunity to make trouble.

I saw Changsun Wuji stand up and ask, "Report to Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the state has national laws and family rules, so we must strictly punish them according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty to serve as a warning to others."

As the head of civil officials, Changsun Wuji first stood up to express his attitude.

At first glance, this is impartial, but it is a secret mystery.

All the people present were old foxes, and there was no one who didn’t know the inside.

Punishment according to the law?

If ordinary people gather to fight and disrupt the public order of the imperial capital, if they are judged according to the "Tang Law", it would be a public punishment and then a military force was sent to the army.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Li Shimin.

After listening, Li Shimin just smiled coldly.

If it is really punished like this, wouldn’t it mean that his son, King Wei, Li Tai, also wants to be exiled?

I want to punish my son, so I think beautifully, let alone where is the royal face?

If Yang Fan and his men were only severely punished, how should the people in the world view him as the emperor?

Li Shimin didn't believe that smart people would not be able to see it. He just wanted them to come up with a reason and just do it himself.

Since Changsun Wuji knew that he could not really want to punish Yang Fan and the others, he still pretended not to know that he just wanted to suppress King Li Tai of Wei for the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

However, Li Shimin couldn't imagine that although Changsun Wuji wanted to suppress the King of Wei, he knew it was impossible. The reason why he said this was just to disgust Yang Fan.

After all, his son Changsun lost face in Piaoxiang Tower last time.

If Li Shimin punished him, Changsun Wuji would make a profit, and even if he didn't, he would not lose anything.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Yaojin stood up first, glanced at Changsheng Wuji, and said in a buzzing voice: "As a young man, if there is a dispute, he should speak with his fists. If the young people of the Tang Dynasty are as delicate as literati and not as good as young ladies, wouldn't it be a shame of the power of the Tang Dynasty? How could he defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty in the future? Now Your Majesty has punished them. In my opinion, this matter will be exposed."

When Changsun Wuji saw that Cheng Yaojin, an old guy, compared himself to a woman, he didn't even bother to get angry.
