At this time, the atmosphere in the prince's mansion was heavy and depressing, since the king of Qin came to the banquet yesterday but was poisoned and left halfway, the prince Li Jiancheng had already mobilized people at the first time to search the entire prince's mansion, and the result of the search was not surprising in the end, it was indeed the people in the prince's mansion who poisoned the food of the king of Qin and wanted to poison the king of Qin. At this time, the murderer who wanted to murder the king of Qin had been arrested by the prince's guards and was escorting him to the place where the prince was.

Li Jiancheng was naturally extremely angry that someone in his mansion dared to poison his younger brother, however, when he saw the criminal, he himself was stunned, because this prisoner was not an assassin who sneaked in from the outside, but a chef in charge of cooking in his mansion.

"Why you!" Li Jiancheng's voice asked with some surprise, and the cook did not deny his crime after seeing his master, but he said his motive, the reason why he poisoned King Qin was completely for the sake of the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

"King Qin is a very ambitious person, and his merits at this time are completely enough to threaten the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Prince is so merciful that he still wants to reconcile with King Qin at this time, but the Prince is willing to reconcile, is King Qin willing? is that he is willing, how willing is the group of wolf-like cronies under him, so for the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, he has to make this decision, just to repay His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness! The cook said. Li Jiancheng was very hateful when he heard it, so he picked up the whip and beat this person fiercely, but after the whip, Li Jiancheng felt compassion. I can't bear to torture this man!

Li Jiancheng is a very nostalgic person, and this person has followed him for many years after all, besides, according to the law of martial virtue formulated by Li Yuan when he ascended the throne as emperor, criminals who dare to assassinate the emperor's relatives and nobles will be punished with capital punishment, and their wives and children will be harmed. This cook will pay a qiē for himself, and such loyalty is really not moved by Li Jiancheng's heart.

Because Li Shimin left the prince's mansion immediately after being poisoned, Li Jiancheng did not know Li Shimin's situation at this time, and waited restlessly, until dawn, Li Jiancheng finally got the news that King Qin was out of danger. This made him breathe a deep sigh of relief, and then, the idea of forgiving the poisoned person in his heart came to mind again. After all, didn't something happen to the second brother, and that chef was also an old man who had followed him for many years, and in Li Jiancheng's mind, because it didn't cause the consequences of Yan zhòng. Therefore, the chef's sin of assassinating Li Shimin, the king of Qin, can be forgiven.

Li Jiancheng already had this idea himself. In addition, many people around him persuaded him in the same way, so Li Jiancheng really had the intention of forgiving the chef, however, when he told his staff about this decision, many of his staff immediately changed their faces. But he didn't dare to dissuade him at the first time, only Wei Zheng immediately refuted it, and demanded that the prince immediately hand over the person to the criminal department for disposal, so as to give King Qin an explanation.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! If all the criminals in the world are forgiven for attempted murder, then what is the point of making the laws of the land! Ignoring the vague glances from his colleagues. Wei Zheng said loudly: "Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats his subordinates kindly, but I don't know that these people are just loyal to the prince on the surface, but in fact they have ulterior motives, what they do will only ruin the reputation of the prince and make a rift between the prince's siblings, and now he has made a move to poison the king of Qin at the prince's banquet, if he does not correct the law to warn future generations, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the prince will also be coaxed by these people in the future, and will not be able to clearly distinguish the truth of the incident!" ”

Wei Zheng's tough attitude made Li Jiancheng very embarrassed, in all fairness, he appreciated the talent and loyalty of this great talent, but on the other hand, Wei Zheng's tough attitude often made Li Jiancheng think that the other party was arrogant and did not look at himself as a prince, however, Li Jiancheng also had to admit that if it was intellectually speaking, Wei Zheng's opinion was the most accurate choice, because only in this way could he open up the situation again, In Chuangzào, an opportunity to eliminate contradictions with Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Deep down, however, he was reluctant to make such a choice.

And just when Li Jiancheng felt that he was in trouble, another staff member came out to speak, but this time, what this staff member said was not an opinion that supported Wei Zheng, but the opposite. In all fairness, although Wei Zheng was a talented man, he was not gregarious, or rather, because of his rigid and strict character, he did not have a good relationship with many of his colleagues, and it was true that some of his aides became his friends because of their admiration for his talent and character, but many more were strangers, and even some became his enemies. And now, these colleagues who have become his enemies saw that Wei Zheng was fighting with the prince because of the people in the prince's mansion, and they immediately felt that the opportunity had come, so they stood on the opposite side of Wei Zheng one after another, accusing Wei Zheng of wanting the prince to weaken his wings, so that the prince's family of people would deviate from the prince, and in the face of these people's criticism, although Wei Zheng did not back down, after all, when most of his colleagues stood by and watched, Wei Zheng was alone, so he fell into the disadvantage in the debate.

So, under the instigation of these staff members and the subordinates in the palace, Li Jiancheng finally did not send the person to the criminal department for execution, but strictly ordered the cook to reflect in the prince's mansion, however, because the cook was originally from the palace, this punishment is basically equivalent to nothing.

Wei Zheng angrily left the prince's mansion, and on the way home, a colleague who usually had a good relationship with him caught up with him and invited him to his carriage: "Mr. Wei knows that the prince has always treated the old man very well, why must he still execute that person, so as to arouse the prince's disgust, after all, the king of Qin is fine, isn't it?" The colleague asked him.

But seeing Wei Zheng sigh hatefully, he said: "Of course I know that person is an old man who has followed the prince for many years, but it is precisely because of this that I have to persuade the prince not to show favoritism because of his compassion, because only by killing that person can we appease the king of Qin, and can we further repair the brotherhood with the king of Qin, but now, it's all over, just when the prince just wanted to repair the brotherhood with the king of Qin, the direction of this effort has been blocked by ourselves, from now on, We will have to step up our precautions against the Qin king's family, and the same will be true for the other party, because both sides will have the same distrust of the other, and in this case, the worst result will be, and the two brothers of the crown prince and the king of Qin will have to fight each other, whether it is for the position of His Majesty in a hundred years, or for self-preservation! Wei Zheng sighed and said, "It's a pity, if this battle really starts, then there is no doubt that compared to King Qin, the crown prince's chances of winning are extremely low!" ”

The staff member beside him nodded when he heard this, and expressed his great agreement, because the truth is true, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has always been strong and resolute, and with his invincible exploits on the battlefield, he is very prestigious in the army, in contrast, the prince's personality is generous, so although he has made achievements in internal affairs, he is often indecisive when he needs to be decisive. Therefore, if the King of Qin really competes with the crown prince for the throne a hundred years later, then the prince is at an absolute disadvantage whether it is decisive or the support of the army.

Therefore, if he can reconcile with the King of Qin, these staff members in the prince's mansion actually don't want to be enemies with the King of Qin, because the King of Qin is very strong, really strong, and his strength even makes the Tang Emperor Li Yuan have a fearful mentality, if it is not so, he will not refrigerate it three times and twice, until the war is almost irretrievably corrupted before the King of Qin will go on the expedition, but now, even if they have not figured out the true intentions of the King of Qin, they have to embark on the road of confrontation with the King of Qin, because of the mutual trust between the two sides, It has disappeared completely in this poisoning incident.
