Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian, who was like a person who had nothing to do, and looked down lovingly at Li Zhi, who was crying like a tearful person.

smiled and comforted him: "Don't listen to your eldest brother's nonsense, my father has no intention of making Qingque the crown prince." Besides, Qingque is also pitiful, who does not love his own son, he wants to kill his own son to pass on the throne to you, how can you still suspect that he wants to harm you?" Li Shimin moved himself as he said, and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.

"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is outstanding, benevolent and loves the people, and will become a generation of saints of my Tang Dynasty in the future. Li Ke also shed sad tears as he spoke, Li Shimin didn't even look at him, his heart was cold, but the more he was like this, the more he had to rely on Li Chengqian.

"Okay, don't make trouble, this is the Great Dynasty!" Li Shimin waved his hand as he spoke, and a little eunuch came out to help their brother up.

"What His Royal Highness King Wu said is reasonable, but Your Majesty is afraid that you are wrong, if one day you really set up the King of Wei as the crown prince, after your Majesty is long lived, how can the King of Wei kill his beloved son and pass on the throne to King Jin?

Today, there are great rebellions in the court, all because His Majesty pampered King Wei too much, and the courtesy rank exceeded that of the prince, which made some people think that they should not have it.

The ministers ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible to put the King of Wei to make the East Palace stable, and the stability of the world will also save their brothers from the trouble of fighting in the same room! ”

Zhu Suiliang flipped through his generous speech, and Li Shimin, who listened to it, was very unhappy and was about to speak, but saw a large group of ministers come out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible to make the King of Wei make the East Palace stable and the world stable, and also save their brothers from fighting in the same room!" ”

Li Shimin was furious when he saw it, and glanced at Li Chengqian, who was standing in the front row with the old god there, and said secretly: Rebel, I haven't cleaned you up yet, you should let the ministers come to discourage me first, hum!

He looked at the ministers below with an expressionless face and said, "Prince, these things are all provoked by you, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian snorted coldly in his heart, you Li Lao Er also kicked the ball, but he made a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "My father's words are wrong, this is all a matter of conspiracy between the master of the East Palace and the son of the prime minister's family, how could it be provoked by the son?"

If the father and emperor see that the son is not pleasing to the eye, he will break the leg of the son and send it directly to the queen mother to guard the tomb. ”

"Rebel!" Li Shimin really wanted to beat Li Chengqian at this time.

"Your Majesty's anger is all the fault of the old minister, it is the old minister who governs the family strictly, let this animal talk nonsense in the court, and ask Your Majesty to govern the minister and this animal for the death penalty." Fang Xuanling said and cried bitterly, he saw clearly that no matter what happened today, Fang Yiai's sin was not light, so he simply took the initiative to take Fang Yiai's love to Li Shimin as a step down.

Li Shimin lowered his head and thought about it,

"All the ministers are even, I have my own decision!" Li Shimin originally wanted to severely punish Zhang Xuansu and Fang Yiai, after all, Li Chengqian is still the crown prince, and these two people can be regarded as provoking the royal majesty.

After the ministers retreated, Li Shimin said directly: "Zhang Xuansu and Fang Yiai plotted to trap the East Palace, arbitrarily discussed the abolition, dismissed all official positions and exiled to Jiaozhou. ”

This punishment is a little stronger than death, but in the current Vietnam of the Tang Dynasty, the exiled people basically did not come back alive. Many ministers could see that Li Shimin was in a very bad mood at this time and did not dare to plead.

But not everyone has eyes, Yu Zhining thinks that this is his time to perform.

"Your Majesty, Jiaozhou is far away outside the mountains, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, the ground is humid, and people go there and die without life. Although Zhang Xuansu is unconscious, he has been in the East Palace for many years, and Fang Yuai is the second son of Fang Xiang, His Majesty's beloved son-in-law, and he also asked His Majesty to spare them from exile in Jiaozhou. ”

Fang Xuanling has a feeling that he is a dog, how can I offend you Yu Zhining and you hurt me like this. What is the second son of the prime minister, Your Majesty's beloved son-in-law, still use you to say it in the main hall?

Won't Princess Gao Yang and I intercede with Your Majesty in private?

"Yu Zhan, don't say good things for this beast, he deserves all this." Fang Xuanling was very loud, gesturing as he spoke, asking Yu Zhining not to speak anymore.

Yu Zhining didn't think so, he had the purpose of selling it to Fang Xuanling, and the more Fang Xuanling stopped him, the more he had to say.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been merciful, did he watch your sister-in-law and the master of the East Palace go to Lingnan to suffer and die?" Yu Zhining took Li Chengqian's army again.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly walked out and said: "Father, what Yu Zhan said makes sense, rather than letting them go all the way to Jiaozhou to be tortured and die, if the father emperor gives him a pleasure and drags him out directly and beheads him, it also shows that the father is merciful." ”

"Don't even say anything, pull them down!" Li Shimin originally wanted to borrow Li Chengqian's slope to get off his donkey, but Li Chengqian actually asked him to directly kill them.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Yu Zhining with resentment, but Yu Zhining vomited blood in his heart but didn't dare to say any more.

Both of them thought in their hearts, although Li Chengqian was foolish in the past, his cowardly personality was not terrible, but today he has made a decision to kill.

Originally, today's dynasty should have ended here, but because the impeachment of the crown prince prepared by King Wei and his party may not be used again if they are not used today, Cui Renshi and Du Chuke exchanged glances and decided to poke it out today.

Cui Renshi walked to the middle of the hall and respectfully saluted Li Shimin. "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to play."

Li Shimin was a little annoyed, but he has always advertised himself as diligent and loving the people, and it was not good for him to refuse to play in the court, so he reluctantly said: "Aiqing is here." ”

"Your Majesty, last month, dozens of families in Chang'an City complained about their grievances in Dali Temple, claiming that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince robbed their cattle and sheep, wives, and children all kinds of lawlessness.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not only ordered people to beat them away, but also slandered Lu Shaoqing with the intention of assassination, and imprisoned Lu Shaoqing's right concubine Kong Yingda under house arrest.

The case of the people suing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was handed over to Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, to continue the trial, but there has been no result so far. ”

Li Shimin was about to put some pressure on Li Chengqian, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Sun Qingjia, how did you try the case against the prince?"

"Your Majesty, after careful review by the ministers and colleagues in Dali Temple, most of the things complained about in these cases are long ago and cannot be conclusive without substantiated evidence."

"Hmm" Li Shimin nodded and was very satisfied with the result, but after taking a look at Li Chengqian, he continued: "But the matter involving the prince still has to be strictly investigated." ”

"Obey." Sun Fujia stepped back.

"Your Majesty, there are some clues in this case." Cui Renshi said again.

"Oh?" The eyes of Li Shimin and the Manchu ministers were sharp.

"A few days ago, a team named Hu Biao led by the left prison of the East Palace was finding the minister and begging the minister to save him, saying that he was afraid of being killed by the prince.

The minister asked him why the prince killed him, and he said that the crimes that the people sued the prince in Dali Temple were true, and he took people to do it.

The minister asked him if he had any evidence, and he told the minister that he didn't care about these things at that time, and that the cattle and sheep who were robbed should have eaten should be killed and killed, and there was no evidence.

However, the ministers listened to what he said about the robbed people's homes, the robbed things, and the time of the robbery, and they were very clear that they did not seem to be fake, so he specially asked His Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

The master of cutting dirt and framing will never be able to do things like Li Chengqian's identity, because even if there is indeed evidence to prove that Donggong did it, Li Chengqian can find someone to blame for the dead ghost.

However, when Cui Renshi said this, it is a saying that Li Chengqian's sin cannot be cured, but Li Chengqian will never be able to wash it away.

Li Shimin was already furious and didn't know who to send it to, so he had to find Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, what do you have to say?"

Li Chengqian was happy in his heart, and was suddenly called by Li Shimin, and immediately showed a sad look on his face, and walked out dejectedly and bowed his hand to Li Shimin, and said in great grief: "What do you want to transport the canopy?" Didn't dare to turn over and had already met. Broken hats cover up the city, and the leaky boat carries wine in the middle of the stream. Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowing his head and being willing to be a son of a cow. Hide in a small building and become a unity, taking care of him in winter, summer and spring and autumn. ”

After Li Chengqian finished chanting a poem, the ministers who supported him were all sad, and the dignified prince was forced to this role.

Li Shimin was even more furious, slapped the table and said: "Cheng Qian, who are you doing this tone to, you are the crown prince, you can only refute any wrongs, what are you afraid of?" It's all a parent's annoyance when they see their unproductive child being bullied.

Just when Li Shimin was furious, suddenly a little eunuch ran into the main hall to report: "Your Majesty Zheng Guogong asks to see you." ”

Li Shimin was stunned, thinking that Wei Zheng was dying and what was he doing in the palace?

"How did Zheng Guogong come here?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it was his son who carried him, and his family brought two coffins and put them outside the palace."
