Early in the morning, Emperor Li Teng was furious and threw the ledger on the ground:

"This is the official you have chosen for me! All of them are dignified on the surface, but behind them are well-dressed beasts! Such a small child, they can even do it! And also! How does Jingzhao Mansion manage people? There is dirt and dirt hidden in the workshops to such a degree! Some people kidnap people, some people teach, and some people transport, these officials dare to accept and play! How daring! ”

Speaking of this, Li Teng swept the officials below who lowered their heads, and finally his gaze fell on Honglu Siqing:

"That's okay, it's hateful that there are still people who give these little girls who are tied up to those people for money - is this a deception that I have been too lenient with you officials over the years? Is it bad to deceive my knife?

And the Wei family! Although this matter has little to do with the Wei family now, the incident happened in the courtyard of your house, are you blind? Dozens of big living people! Dozens of bones! There are so many people coming in and out every day, you can't see it? Don't tell me you have a lot of yards, you can't manage it! If you really can't manage it, hand it over, and I will take care of it for you!

This time, thanks to my Princess Yongle and the second child of the Qu Tu family! It's not them, I don't know that there are still such great traitors in this Chang'an City! ”

After speaking, he swept his eyes at the ministers and said coldly:

"This matter must be strictly investigated! The crown prince is now fully responsible for investigating this matter, and all masterminds will be punished severely! Within a month, we must find out about it! Any official who commits a crime will immediately turn himself in, and he can also be sent down as appropriate, and if he is found, he will be severely punished! ”

The crown prince bowed down to receive the order.

"If you have any questions, please ask Song Guogong more!"

Li Teng commanded again, glared at Jing Zhaoyin and Shaoyin fiercely, and left with his sleeves.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng stepped forward, picked up the account book, patted the non-existent dust on it, sighed, turned to the ministers and said:

"Let's go! This matter caused the anger of my father, and no one should think about interceding - especially Jingzhao Mansion, this matter could have been solved quickly, but you did it for the sake of shame - this is good, you think you can protect your colleagues and subordinates, but you don't know how serious this matter is? Reflect on it! I was the first to establish the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the people were Si'an, do you want to force the people to rebel again? ”

Although the voice was not high, the words were very heavy, which made cold sweat break out on the officials of Jingzhao Mansion - the prince was generous, but he didn't know how to start a temper, and he was so imposing!

In the palace, Li Shimin lost his temper at Li Ziyan with a suppressed voice:

"Ziyan! How can you just hand over the ledger to your father? Don't you know how much is involved? If you really investigate, how many officials will fall to the ground? How many families will be ruined? Even the Wei family can't get out of it this time, have you thought about it? Now that the dynasty has just been established, there is an urgent need for stability, and the five surnames and seven hopes have not all returned to their hearts, and now that you have provoked the Wei family, it will inevitably bring some trouble, why don't you want to take care of the overall situation? ”

Li Ziyan looked at her half-brother in disbelief, she had always been proud of Li Shimin before!

Li Shimin had already shown his military prowess before the Tang Dynasty was established, led the army to win a lot of battles, and also collected a lot of generals, and even broke out the name of Tiance Mansion!

It can be said that almost half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty was fought by Li Shimin.

Therefore, Li Ziyan's feelings for Li Shimin are not only the affection of her sister for her brother, but also the kind of reverence for heroes - in her mind, Li Shimin is a big hero!

However, Li Shimin's words just now shocked her: I didn't expect that in Li Shimin's eyes, the so-called overall situation is the identification of these people with five surnames and seven hopes for the Tang Dynasty.

But what about ordinary people?

Li Shimin saw Li Ziyan's reaction and knew that she was not convinced, sighed, and continued patiently:

"As for the girls who were tied up and died, as long as they were given some more compensation, their families would agree - for the people who are struggling to live and die, this should be the best outcome!"

At this moment, Li Ziyan feels that her brother is becoming more and more strange!

He said that about ordinary people!

Could it be that in his eyes, the people are just adding heads, and the overall situation is a family like five surnames and seven hopes?

Has he forgotten how the previous dynasty perished?

Li Ziyan took a step back and looked at Li Shimin in disbelief!

Li Shimin was about to continue, but he found that his sister, looking at his eyes, looked at him, that look was very strange and distant!

"Ziyan, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shimin was still very concerned about his little sister, so he immediately stopped preaching and asked with concern.

Li Ziyan plucked up her courage, looked at Li Shimin, and said solemnly:

"Second brother! Even if it happens again, I will hand over the ledger to my father! It's no small thing – in my opinion, that's the big picture! You weren't there, you didn't see that! Dozens of girls and children, unclothed, and even covered with bruises, were all kidnapped! From that courtyard, dozens of corpses were raised! And those officials who have the overall situation in your mouth are drinking and having fun on those bones, and letting those kidnapped girls accompany them, and if you don't comply, you will be tortured!

You weren't there, you couldn't imagine the despair of those girls - some people couldn't die if they wanted to!

Be! You said that a thorough investigation of this matter will ruin many families, so do you know? Just because of them, many families have already died! If those officials are human beings, aren't these people human beings? Don't forget how the previous dynasty perished! ”

Li Shimin opened his mouth, and looked at his little sister in a daze.

It was a side he had never seen before!

Unexpectedly, the little sister actually had this kind of insight - suddenly, from the perspective of brothers and sisters, Li Shimin was still a little relieved - it's just that this kind of insight, in Li Shimin's opinion, is a bit too virgin!

The royal family itself is high, and it is true that it should pay attention to the people, but the people are the cornerstone, and nothing will happen if you are idle. Like the tyrannical expropriation of the previous dynasty, Li Shimin believes that this dynasty will not happen.

However, looking at his sister's expression, Li Shimin's words came to his lips and did not come out.

Such cold words are really not suitable for my sister.

At this time, the crown prince Li Jiancheng came over and said to Li Ziyan softly:

"Yongle, you're doing the right thing! I'm sticking with you! If you don't even care about the life or death of the people, and only pay attention to the famous families with five surnames and seven hopes, sooner or later you will not see the suffering of the people, in that case, what is the difference between it and the previous dynasty? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Shimin's reaction, he took Li Ziyan's hand and said:

"Go, Ziyan, go to me. My father has given me the task of thoroughly investigating this matter, and I want to hear your opinion carefully! ”

Looking at the backs of Li Jiancheng and Li Ziyan, Li Shimin clenched his fists.
