The eldest grandson Wuji trembled, pestle the ground with his head, and said sadly: "The minister doesn't dare, I just ask Your Majesty to think twice!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a cold face, and after a while, he exhaled and said to Gao Gonggong: "Xuan Li Jing, Li Ji, Niu Jinda," paused, and said: "...... The king of Hejian County, the king of Jiangxia County came to see me. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his head in shock, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak. When Li Shimin attacked the Turks at the beginning of last year, he did not use such a position, and now he has summoned these people, which shows that he has made up his mind.

The eldest grandson Wuji pursed his mouth, stopped complaining, and lowered his head gloomily. Gonggong Gao didn't dare to delay any longer, and after answering his promise, he turned around and went to deliver the decree.

There were only four people left in the courtyard, Li Mu stood beside him with his hands tied, the eldest grandson Wuji knelt in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin looked at him, and the eldest grandson queen kept drinking porridge, as if she had no perception of what was happening next to her, and she didn't even move her eyes.

Li Mu couldn't help but admire, if you want to be a good actor, you have to be like the eldest grandson. With such acting skills, no one can see the flaws!

"Auxiliary, you disappointed me very much this time." Li Shimin slowly opened his mouth and said, "I remember the old love, and I will give you another chance." I ordered you to be the chief judge, together with the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai, to try this case together. Two days, give me an answer. ”

After a pause, Li Shimin said again: "I trust my life, if you still don't understand the trial, then tell the old man, I will agree." ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold. He is only thirty-three years old, he is in the prime of life, what are you talking about old age? Li Shimin's words are clearly telling him that those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will die, and if you don't do what I want, you will get out of me!

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at his sister, but he didn't get a trace of response, and the look in his eyes became more and more dim.

"I understand."

After saying four words with difficulty, Eldest Sun Wuji slowly got up, turned around and walked out. Li Mu secretly gave Li Shimin a thumbs up, and was about to go out with him, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Boy Li Mu, I have something to ask you."

Li Mu had no choice but to stand and watch the eldest grandson Wuji walk out of the courtyard, before he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do, do you have anything to wait for?" ”

Li Shimin turned over the confession and asked, "Is this confession true?" ”

Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, during the interrogation, Gonggong Gao was present throughout the whole process, if you don't believe it, you can ask Gonggong Gao, he definitely didn't dare to lie to you, right?" ”

Li Shimin flipped through it, found Wang Zhi's confession, pointed to one of the lines, and said, "He said that there is an assassin from the Yanwang Mansion, is it true?" ”

Li Mu nodded and did not speak.

Li Shimin clenched his fists and scolded: "What a rebel! What a rebel! He looked up at Li Mu and said, "What do you do?" ”

"Uh......" Li Mu knew that he would definitely not be able to hide it from Li Shimin, so he hesitated for a moment and told the truth. His approach was somewhat unkind, and he was a little embarrassed to say it in front of Li Shimin, and after finishing speaking, he grinned: "Your Majesty, the minister was also forced to be helpless, you said what happened last time, and the minister didn't do anything wrong." Disposing of King Yan is also your Majesty's decision. But the king of Yan sent assassins to kill his ministers, which ...... As the saying goes, if the king wants his ministers to die, the ministers have to die, but King Yan is not the emperor after all, and the ministers pondered, he should not have the right to let the ministers die-"

In front of Empress Changsun, saying this, Li Mu was really bad. Although King Yan is the prince, but the concubine is different, unless he rebels, how can the throne not be his turn, Li Mu deliberately said this, just to provoke the sensitive nerves of Empress Changsun.

Sure enough, when Li Mu mentioned this stubble, the eldest grandson queen, who had been eating porridge, had beautiful eyes and glanced at Li Shimin imperceptibly, as if she was paying attention to his expression.

Li Shimin's heart was excited, and he hurriedly said: "What nonsense! King Yan is a concubine, and he has repeatedly taught him, and I am about to punish him! Li Mu, you did the right thing, it's time to teach him a lesson. ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "King Yan is not young, since he is staying in Chang'an, let's go to the fiefdom as soon as possible." Li Shimin asked Empress Changsun and said, "What does the Empress think?" ”

Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin still couldn't bear to dispose of her son, and let him go to the fiefdom, which was tantamount to forgiving the crime in disguise, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and did not answer, but looked at Li Mu, the "victim" of the assassination time, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Li Mu lowered his eyebrows and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty is very wise. ”

Empress Eldest Sun snorted and said, "You monarchs and ministers all think it's appropriate, and I don't have anything to say, I don't know where Your Majesty plans to seal him?" ”

"Raising ......"

As soon as a word came out, Empress Changsun raised her brows and said: "Yangzhou, the land of fish and rice, is very rich, does Your Majesty plan to seal a prince who has made a mistake in this place?" ”

"Uh," Li Shimin choked up, a little at a loss for what to say.

In fact, Li You's age is far from the time to divide the seal. Usually the prince will not be feuded until he reaches adulthood. And the princes who are valued are usually remote leaders, called "non-officials", who enjoy the benefits of the fiefdom, but do not have to fulfill the obligation of governance. In history, Li Tai has been sealed many times, with a fief of as high as 22 states, but he has been granted a 'non-official', and it is precisely because of such special treatment that he has the mind to compete for the throne.

Li You's mother is one of the four concubines. Logically speaking, he should also enjoy the treatment of 'no official'. Sealing in advance is already a very serious punishment. Li Shimin wanted to make up for him a little bit, seal a good place, and make his future life better.

But the eldest grandson queen didn't allow it, and he couldn't help it, so he pursed his lips and said, "Then the queen comes to decide, where does the queen think it is appropriate?" ”

How could Empress Eldest Sun do such an offending thing, her eyes rolled, she threw the ball to Li Mu, and said, "Li Mu, where do you think it is appropriate?" ”

Li Muxin said, okay, you both should be good people, and let me do it if you are bad people? A good place, the queen is not happy, and a bad place to go, it is clear that Li Shimin will not be happy. Li Mu pondered for a long time, but he didn't have a clue. The main reason is that he has never left since he came to Chang'an, and he doesn't know what is good and what is not good!

Although Li Mu doesn't know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty, he has read "Zhenguan Long Song". In the TV series, Li You was named the king of Qi, and Zhenguan rebelled in Qizhou in the seventeenth year. Since we can't think of a good place to go, let's respect history.

With his mind already decided, Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Qizhou is very good. ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu with drooping eyelids, and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts, Dou E died in Qizhou, you kid is really careful!" ”

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this stubble, he changed Dou E's injustice to Qizhou, it was completely to disgust the Shandong Shi clan, so he had to smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, what a coincidence, or the minister or don't say it, Your Majesty, you will decide." ”

Li Shimin wanted to decide it himself, but looking at the face of Empress Changsun, I'm afraid he couldn't make it. Although Qizhou is not as good as Yangzhou, it is also a rich land, it is better than being sent to Qiongzhou, sighed, and asked the eldest grandson queen, "Qizhou, does the queen think it's okay?" ”

Empress Changsun looked at Li Mu, then at Li Shimin, nodded slowly, and said, "Li Mu is thoughtful, Qizhou can." ”

What is this called? Li Mu's face was full of helplessness, and when Empress Eldest Sun said this, it was tantamount to confirming that he was deliberate. If you want to explain a few words, think about it or say nothing, explain or not, what's the point? Anyway, Li You must have hated him to death.

settled down, Li Shimin called a little eunuch brought by Gao Gonggong and asked him to pass on the decree. Changed the title of Yan King Li You to the king of Qi, appointed as the governor of Qizhou, assassinated the history of the same state, supervised the military of Qi, Qing, Lai, and Mizhou, and ordered him to bid farewell to his mother and concubine, and immediately without delay.

This is all the proper meaning of the prince to go to the domain, and the eldest grandson empress did not put forward any opinions. Supervising the military of the four continents is already a downgrade, logically speaking, the mother concubine is one of the four concubines, at least she is also the military governor of the surrounding eight continents, so that no one will be hindered, only the four continents, which is slightly inferior to the ordinary prince.

When the will came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar. At this sensitive time, such a thing suddenly appeared, and everyone didn't understand why. Soon, news spread. One of the assassins was the head of the Yan Wangfu, and after the Hou of Zhulu found out, he chopped the person up and sent it to the Yan Wang's Mansion in a box, which scared the Yan King to pee his pants. Immediately after that, the will of the feudal clan came, and it is difficult not to associate these two things.

Li You and Li Mu's festival is well known to both the government and the opposition. Li You sent someone to kick in, and everyone was not surprised. But because of this matter, he was forced to take the domain ahead of schedule, which greatly surprised everyone. It can also be seen from this that the emperor's determination is so great that even his own son is involved in it, and he has to be punished so heavily.

Wave after wave of unsettled, just when the news of Li You's inauguration was still being discussed, news came out again in the evening. The emperor announced that he would meet with five generals led by Li Jing and grant the transfer of troops and tiger talismans. Niu Jinda and Li Daozong have already left Chang'an and gathered government soldiers in the land of Gyeonggi, what can be imagined.

At this point, everyone has no illusions. All kinds of signs show that Li Shimin's butcher's knife has been raised, and it depends on who is the first to die under the knife!

……

A huge military tent was erected by the river, which temporarily served as the lobby of the criminal department. In a transfer at the beginning of the year, Li Daozong was reappointed as Zongzheng Siqing, and Zhang Liang took over the position of secretary of the Criminal Department. Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yunguo, was also one of the people in the Lingyan Pavilion in the future, who was originally a subordinate of Li Mi, and was a general under Li Ji, and descended to the Tang Dynasty with Li Ji. Fang Xuanling and Li Ji recommended him to join the Qin Palace, and planned a lot of things for Li Shimin. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was named the general of the right guard, the prince of Changping County, and at the beginning of the year, he entered the title of Duke of Yanguo, and succeeded Li Daozong as the secretary of the criminal department.

This move can be regarded as a measure by Li Shimin to reduce the power of the clan, and after Li Daozong left the Criminal Department, there were no more people from the imperial family among the six departments.

Zhang Yungu, the secretary of Dali Temple, is also a famous person in history, and his main deed is that he was falsely accused by Quan Wanji and killed by Li Shimin. Now that history has changed, Quan Wanji, as Li You's long history, followed Li You to go to the domain in advance, and he saved his life.

Wei Zheng, the imperial historian, plus Sun Wuji, the chief judge, sat behind the desk, and the four of them were frowning.

The Assassins had already seen it once, and they didn't ask anything new. The six living mouths seemed to have known that they were going to die, and they didn't have any way to beg for mercy, they scolded Li Mu, and never admitted that they were assassinating the emperor, but they only assassinated Li Mu.

The confession is no different from Li Mu's, and it's not easy to make a fuss here. And Li Shimin has already made his meaning clear, what he wants is not this result, and the duty of the eldest grandson Wuji is to implement Li Shimin's will.

The last prisoner was taken down, and the eldest grandson Wuji rubbed his swollen temples, looked at Wei Zheng on the left, and said, "Does Duke Wei have anything to say?" When he was interrogated just now, Wei Zheng didn't say a word, so the eldest grandson Wuji asked his opinion first.

Wei Zheng stiffened his face and said, "What do you have to say?" There are no words! Whatever result the faint king wants, give him whatever result, kill it! Kill! forced the wolf smoke to break out, the world was in chaos, and he was comfortable! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "Duke Wei's words are ridiculous, the assassin is true, and His Majesty's injury is also true!" What is wrong with the crime of law? Your Majesty is merciful and may forgive some people, but you can't say that Your Majesty is wrong, right? If His Majesty doesn't punish him severely, wouldn't it tell the people of the world that assassinating the emperor is not a denial, is this what Duke Wei meant? ”

Wei Zheng was speechless, and said indignantly: "You know that I don't mean this, why bother chewing words!" I'm just, just for those innocent people...... Alas! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Zhang Liang again and said, "What is the opinion of the Criminal Department?" ”

Zhang Liang was pulled by Li Shimin, and naturally only Li Shimin's will was the criterion, and when he heard the words, he said: "The law is not merciful, it is clearly written in the law of the Tang Dynasty, assassinating the emperor is like a rebellion, and the three clans are destroyed, I think there is nothing wrong with His Majesty's disposal." ”

"You ......" Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and sighed.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Zhang Yungu again and said, "Do you have any opinions from Dali Temple?" ”

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing wrong with it, but the law is not human, I just calculated, if it is really implemented according to the standards of the three tribes, it will involve more than 60,000 people, this is ...... In all dynasties, there have never been! ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he immediately answered: "More than 60,000 lives, how can Your Majesty bear it?" No, I'm going to see Your Majesty! If I can't persuade Your Majesty to change his mind, I will crash to death in front of him! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Now is not the time to be impulsive, the more you are like this, the more you will anger Your Majesty......"

Before the words fell, a captain hurriedly ran in, and the eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said, "What are you doing in a panic?" ”

"Uncle Rongyu, something happened! General Cheng ordered me to report that he would die in front of His Majesty, begging His Majesty to change his mind, claiming that if His Majesty refused, he would die in front of His Majesty, so as not to witness the destruction of life! ”
