In the Xuanzheng Palace, it is splendid. The dragon and phoenix carved on the roof of the shed are magnificent, and at this time they are revealing endless majesty.

Li Shimin is high, and that kind of deterrence is enough to make people dare not breathe. Melodious kneeling on the ground and looking at everything around him, Li Ke stood aside casually, and a middle-aged man kneeling beside him seemed to be waiting for the trial. She was in a mess now, and she didn't have time to think about why she brought them here, so she heard Xiao Ruolan timidly call "Dad".

Father? Could it be that the one kneeling on the ground is Xiao Ruolan and her father?

But this is their family's business, and they arrested her for Mao?

Suddenly, the doubts in Melodious Yang were answered, and the head of the officers and soldiers who brought them reported to Taizongyu: "Your Majesty, this woman is just in King Wu's bedroom, with a murder weapon in her hand, with a hideous face, plotting to assassinate King Wu, presumably they are in a group." ”

The corners of his melodious mouth twitched faintly, which eye did he see that she was going to stab Li Ke? It's true that she has a murder weapon in her hand, but when did she look hideous?

Besides, who is in the same league as them!

Taizong's eyes swept towards Melodious, without too much expression, and waved his hand to the head of the officers and soldiers: "Stand down!" ”

Li Ke bowed, and suddenly reported: "Enlighten my father, the case of Xiao Shilang's collaboration with the enemy has been ascertained by his sons, and now I will give my father a decree." ”

"How?" Taizong's deep voice sounded, which made people shudder.

"Xiao Shilang's original name was Xiao Jun, and his uncle was Emperor Xiao Milling of Ming Fengliang. The Liang State was defeated and Xiao Milling was beheaded, but the remnants of the forces still existed, and their forces still did not give up on restoring the Liang State. Xiao Jun was a meticulous work for the hidden Tang Dynasty, and he sent a total of 47 letters to the enemy, which were verified by the Criminal Department to be true. This is the conclusive evidence of the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, I hope my father will decide! Li Ke's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue to Xiao Ruolan, making her face sluggish and unable to return to her senses for a long time.

Li Shimin was not surprised, as if everything was under his control, and snorted coldly: "Just a few people dare to covet my Datang? Bite off more than one can chew! Xiao Jun, what else do you say? ”

Xiao Jun was also honest, he didn't struggle too much when he saw that the matter was revealed, he looked at the daughter beside him with tears in his eyes, and said: "I have nothing to say about the matter at this point, I just ask Your Majesty to forgive my daughter Ruolan, she doesn't know about this matter!" ”

Taizong didn't nod or shake his head, but asked, "You are cautious, do you know how your deeds are revealed?" ”

Xiao Jun lowered his head and sighed, "I don't know! ”

"It's your daughter who is showing her flaws, and you can say she doesn't know?" Tang Taizong's words and deeds were fierce, and he was obviously a little angry.

"This?" Xiao Jun raised his eyes and looked at his stunned daughter full of puzzlement.

Taizong asked again, his face full of unfathomable. "Do you know why you have repeatedly asked to marry your daughter to Wu Wangzhen? Because there were ministers who impeached you for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country long before that, but there was no conclusive evidence, I didn't want his daughter to be involved with the prince. Later, you played again and I agreed, but do you think I touched the heart of his daughter? ”

Xiao Jun stared at Taizong with wide eyes, and regretted the original request. "Do you want to find clues in Ruolan?"

Taizong snorted coldly and said: "You really raised a good daughter, she lived up to my expectations, she was rude and willful, jealous and jealous, and sent your secret subordinates to kidnap Princess Wu many times, if it weren't for her, presumably the criminal department would not have been able to catch the evidence of your collaboration with the enemy, and you still said that she didn't know?" ”

Xiao Ruolan's nurse was in tears at this time, she kept kowtowing, the ground was banging, and she pleaded: "Your Majesty, Miss really doesn't know." It's the old slave, everything is dictated by the old slave! ”

"Whether she knows it or not, her father collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and according to the law, he should be punished by the nine clans." Taizong didn't want to be too verbose, and waved his hand at the guards.

Xiao Jun was anxious, and in the blink of an eye, his head was bleeding, and he begged: "Your Majesty, I know that it is not a pity to die, but Ruolan is Princess Wu and your daughter-in-law, I hope the emperor will spare her life!" ”

Taizong's attitude was resolute, and he said again: "Princess Wu? I have never told the world, where did I come to Princess Wu? ”

Seeing the Shengshang's resolute attitude, Xiao Jun knelt down and crawled beside Li Ke, and said, "Your Highness, for Ruolan's sake, she has served you for so many years, you save her!" ”

Taizong's eyes turned to Li Ke, obviously a little hesitant. "Ke'er, what do you see?" Li Ke's face was cold, and he didn't have the slightest pity for Xiao Ruolan. "The son and her have no husband and wife name, nor are they husband and wife, and the father and the emperor decide on the whole screen."

No husband and wife? Although Melodious was a little surprised, she suddenly felt that Xiao Ruolan was also very pitiful, she was so desperately in love with a man who didn't even want to look at her, if she was herself, she would definitely not be able to do it.

Melodious didn't know why, the ghost envoy said: "Father, Xiao Jun is a political collaborator, how to punish him is what he deserves, Melodious doesn't want to take care of it and can't care about it." But Xiao Jun's sins can't be implicated in Xiao Ruolan, although she is arrogant, arrogant and willful, and has also been ruthless and killed, but all this is due to the fact that she loves His Highness too much, and she will do these irrational things to the extreme, the greatest virtue in life is forgiveness, forgive her for the sake of melodious and no big problem. Killing her will only give my Datang one more cold corpse, and forgiving her will make one more person in the world love His Royal Highness, presumably she will be grateful and will never do anything hurtful again! ”

She should hate Xiao Ruolan more than anyone else, but she can't hate it at this time, her plea for Xiao Ruolan is definitely not a noble sentiment of repaying grievances with virtue, she just thinks that she is still guilty and will not die.

Taizong didn't answer, he paced around with his hands behind his back, as if he was thinking about the melodious words.

"Dad, Ruolan doesn't want to live without you!" Xiao Ruolan crawled to Xiao Jun's side, maybe at this moment she knew what she should cherish the most.

"Ruolan, you are my father's only daughter, you must live strongly!" Xiao Jun stroked Xiao Ruolan's hair, and that fatherly love reminded Melodious of his father again.

Melodious kowtowed a few more times, and begged: "Father, just forgive her!" ”

Taizong sighed, and announced in public: "Xiao Jun and his subordinates collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the crime is unforgivable, they will be immediately imprisoned, and they will be beheaded after the autumn, and they will be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment." Nian his daughter is young and ignorant, and she is exempted from capital crimes, but her jealousy and jealousy can be a bad way to be a wife, and she will be removed from her concubine, and she will have nothing to do with Wu Wangke from now on! ”

Although Xiao Jun and Taizong are not at odds, he is still grateful at this time, and when he was taken down, he kowtowed to Melodious Yang three times, this is father's love.

Xiao Ruolan sat on the ground, looked at her father's back and forgot to cry, and fainted due to excessive grief.

The matter finally came to an end, the people who should be killed were killed, the people who should be punished were punished, and the people who should be spared were also spared, and only Tang Taizong, Li Ke and Melodious were left in the palace.

Taizong looked at Li Ke with a kind face, and suddenly said for some reason: "Ke'er, stay in Beijing for the time being!" ”

His words made Li Ke and Melodious both stunned.

"The retainers obey!" Li Ke was still faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

Melodious and anxious eyes hovered between the two of them, these two people really deserved to be father and son, and their expressions were more unfathomable than the other. But no matter what the reason, Your Majesty, don't you be so exciting? You can't give him the future he wants, so why give him hope? He is only in his twenties, which is the age of competitiveness, he can't withstand such temptations, how can he withstand such ups and downs. Isn't it torturous to step on the clouds with one foot on the head and fall to the bottom with the next? It's not about loving him and hurting him!

After a while, Li Ke suddenly said: "Father, everything is clear about the melodious things, can it be re-canonized!" ”

Taizong looked at Melodious meaninglessly, but did not make a sound.

Li Ke was a little anxious, and said, "Father? ”

Taizong leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, raised his hand and said, "I'm tired, you wait to retreat first!" ”

Li Ke still wanted to say something and was pulled by Melodious, she knew that Taizong was obviously perfunctory, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and her affairs must be clear to him.
