Chapter 191: Dead Heart
"Your Majesty, if this matter is too widespread, the concubine hopes that there will be no favoritism at that time, after all, just now, Qian'er almost lost his life, if you don't give Qian'er an explanation, the concubine's heart will be indignant in the future! It's also hard to convince the public! ”
When Empress Eldest Sun said this, she was a bit of pressure.
If you don't give me a word to say, I'll hate you.
"Guanyin, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for Qian'er! To dare to assassinate my son is to challenge my temper, and I will let them die! ”
Li Shimin's expression was fierce, if he said so, then this matter is not over, and you must make one, two, three, four.
When the Son of Heaven spoke, he had no intention of taking it back.
Li Chengqian also listened to it sincerely, if this is the case, then you are not welcome.
Therefore, he did not wait for the two of them to stop before opening his mouth.
"Xu Jingzong, who is secretly assisting you in your assassination of this king this time?"
He asked as soon as he came.
Xu Jingzong paused for a while, but he didn't respond.
"Xu Jingzong, this king is asking you! Are you dumb? ”
Li Chengqian shouted again.
"Bold, dare to ignore His Royal Highness the Prince, you should be beaten!"
Cheng Yanjin couldn't stand it, so he slapped it directly.
Xu Jingzong was so painful that he wailed.
He has wanted to fight this goods for a long time, but he has never had a chance, and now the opportunity has come, which makes him very happy.
Xu Jingzong covered his red and swollen face.
"I said I pleaded guilty, why do you still have to try? No one secretly assisted me, and I was the one who wanted to kill Li Chengqian! ”
"Why? Where is this king holding you back? ”
Li Chengqian was curious.
"I see that if you are unhappy, I want to kill you!"
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were stunned when they heard Xu Jingzong's incredible reason.
Is this still the minister of the Tang Dynasty?
It's because he doesn't like the prince that he wants to kill him, and if he doesn't like the emperor one day, will he kill the emperor too?
This kind of reason is not a reason, he tried to prevaricate, but he was wrong.
"This is not a reason, Xu Jingzong, you were bought, right?"
Li Chengqian suddenly said again.
"Nope!"
"Before, you used to want to frame me, remember the last time Wang Guifei said that this king killed someone, right? In order to frame this king, you actually killed so many innocent people, there was no evidence before, and now you have to talk about it! ”
Li Chengqian singled out the previous incident.
Last time, Wang Guifei was also punished for slandering Li Chengqian. If it weren't for some incomprehensible situations, he might have let Li Shimin deal with them a long time ago.
This time it doesn't look easy.
Xu Jingzong's eyes hesitated, he obviously caught the prince last time, why couldn't he be killed? He couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Qian'er, what's going on?"
Li Shimin asked.
"The last time Wang Guifei slandered her sons, her father punished her and made her hold a grudge, and in the recent series of behaviors, her sons have reason to believe that this Wang Guifei may have different intentions! This matter may have something to do with it! ”
After Li Chengqian's persuasion, Li Shimin seemed to realize that what he wanted to say was that Xu Jingzong and Wang Guifei had a certain connection, if this was the case, then the matter would be a big deal.
I'm afraid that only the concubines in the palace have the power to support the guards and release false news.
"And this incident happened after we seized the Wang family's iron mine, and all kinds of signs prove that this matter is probably inseparable from Wang Guifei!"
Li Chengqian has nothing to keep now, if it is really related to Wang Guifei, then he will not show mercy to his subordinates, and all those who dare to oppose him will be cleared out of the court by him and cleaned up from this world.
"Your Majesty, this is really possible! The concubine thought that what Qian'er said was very reasonable, if it weren't for someone in the palace, how could Xu Jingzong enter the Taiji Palace? Moreover, in recent times, things about Qian'er have been one after another, and none of them have stagnated, maybe someone really did it deliberately. ”
"Xu Jingzong, this is your last chance, if you confess who your accomplice is, I can be dismissed lightly!"
Even if the assassination of the crown prince is a capital crime, then Xu Jingzong must die.
But the assassination of the crown prince is a big crime of punishing the nine clans, and he himself is in a catastrophe, but his descendants and relatives can be unharmed because of his confession.
Everything depends on how Xu Jingzong chooses.
"Your Majesty, there really isn't one."
It seems that Xu Jingzong doesn't want to admit anything.
Cheng Yanjin couldn't stand it, and shouted directly: "If I don't give you some color, you won't say it, right?" ”
After that, he began to kick Xu Jingzong fiercely.
This made Xu Jingzong, who was originally hit by an arrow in the leg, wail in pain.
"The mouth is very hard, I don't believe that I can't pry it open!"
Cheng Biting Jin was going to grab Xu Jingzong's mouth.
Li Xiaochang on the side was frightened a long time ago, and seeing Xu Jingzong being tortured like this, he could probably think about what he would be like in the future.
He probably regretted why he wanted to help Xu Jingzong!
It's better if you sit idly by.
Faced with Xu Jingzong being tortured by Cheng Biting Jin, Li Chengqian stopped him.
"Okay, Uncle Cheng, come back!"
Li Chengqian was also speechless, Cheng Yanjin's purpose in doing this was that he hated Xu Jingzong very much, and whenever he was a little unsatisfactory, he wanted to torture him to calm his hatred.
Just right, take this opportunity to torture well.
Who made him disrespectful to himself.
Xu Jingzong is really a man, he doesn't say a word, which makes Li Chengqian a little puzzled.
At this time, he suddenly said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, just now this king asked people to search your mansion, maybe you can see what is in your mansion in a while!" ”
Li Chengqian's words made Xu Jingzong break out in a cold sweat, so it seemed that Xu Jingzong had evidence to stay in his home.
"I don't believe it!"
Xu Jingzong still didn't believe it, but looked around, and there was a skilled person who was not at the scene.
Yes, it was Xue Rengui who was not on the spot.
Xu Jingzong panicked at this time, if he didn't look at other evidence, he would just deny it directly, but if some evidence revealed something about the assassination, then the result was not certain.
Not only did he have to die, but his female companion was also implicated.
"Father, please rest for a while, the people of the retainers will return in a while, and he will definitely take it out to make Xu Jingzong die."
"Good! I want to see who it is, who dares to ignore the royal law so much, and dare to face the Tianwei who challenges me! ”
"If it is found, that person must not be kept!"
Empress Eldest Sun also said on the side.
"Guanyin, don't worry, I won't break my word!"
Li Shimin is afraid that he has made up his mind, and his words are enough.
"Emperor Xie!"
……
The group waited for the rest in the palace of the king of Yi'an County, just waiting for Xue Rengui to return.
