Li Shimin didn't expect that he would carefully deal with Li Chengqian and others, but the news still leaked out. Once this matter spreads to the people, it will cause huge waves, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

His face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling knew that the consequences were serious, and they wanted to come out and speak, but it didn't rain, so it didn't work to say anything.

Li Yan then threw a bombshell, he said: "I heard that the matter of bewitching His Majesty to pray for rain was first bewitched by Li Chunfeng, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince provided false news to His Majesty, and His Majesty trusted His Royal Highness the Prince, so he announced to the world and took the lead in praying for rain." ”

Now, as if water was sprinkled in a pot of boiling oil, it exploded in the hall.

"Buzz, buzz"

Li Chengqian's face turned pale, he didn't know how things could have come to this.

Li Tai's subordinates talked a lot, deliberately making the matter serious, and those ministers who didn't know the truth also talked about it, forming a wave of condemnation of Li Chunfeng.

Li Ke didn't follow suit, but Li Chengqian was unlucky, which he was happy to see. Anyway, it was not his people who impeached Li Chengqian, and he was at ease. So, he didn't say a word.

At this time, Yan Liben came out and said, "Your Majesty, in order to cherish the people, you sincerely pray to the heavens for rain, which is understandable.

However, if the people know that you have been deceived into doing so, the problem is serious. The people will question Your Majesty, you are the crown prince, and there are some things that are inconvenient for the ministers to talk about, and you are clear about the consequences. ”

He insinuated that the people would question the legitimacy of Li Shimin's identity as the Son of Heaven.

"yes, yes." There was a lot of discussion in the main hall.

Li Tai came out to speak, and he said: "Father, the prince's brother was bewitched by Li Chunfeng in this matter. He was only deceived for a while, although it caused the passivity of the imperial court, it was also an unintentional mistake.

Li Chunfeng, a demon, has bad intentions and is extremely evil. Erchen suggested that Li Chunfeng be beheaded in public to clear the suspicion of the prince's brother. ”

Li Tai is really vicious. The beheading of Li Chunfeng will confirm Li Chengqian's crimes, and at the very least, Li Chengqian's incompetent image will be made public. The position of the prince is also in jeopardy.

The eldest grandson Wuji was so anxious, he couldn't watch Li Shimin's reputation be damaged, and he couldn't let Li Chengqian carry the black cauldron, so he came out helplessly and said: "The minister agrees with His Royal Highness the King of Wei's opinion, and beheads Li Chunfeng in public." ”

Out of the consideration of calming the people's hearts, Xiao Qian also came out and said: "The old minister also agrees with the opinion of His Royal Highness King Wei. ”

Wei Zheng felt that it was unfair to Li Chunfeng, but for the sake of the stability of the world, he remained silent.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

……

Li Chunfeng is dead!

Li Chengqian cried with a sad face, and deeply regretted listening to Li You's unstingy and unreliable incitement.

Li Shimin really didn't want such a situation to happen, but now he was powerless to return to heaven, so he had to comply with the advice of the ministers and decided to behead Li Chunfeng to alleviate the adverse effects on the imperial court.

At this time, in his heart, Li Chengqian is indeed a wreck.

Li Shimin coughed and was about to give an order to behead Li Chunfeng.

"Hahahahaha", at this moment, a burst of laughter resounded throughout the hall.

When everyone saw it, it was Li You, the king of Qi.

In front of everyone's eyes, Li You stood up generously, and he said, "Father, the son has something to say. ”

I don't know what's going on, Li Shimin saw Li You, and hope suddenly rose in his heart. He asked, "Li You, why are you here?" ”

"Father, the son is here to congratulate you, congratulations on winning the favor of the Taishang Laojun. There will be heavy rain at noon today. Li You said.

“？？？” Everyone was extremely surprised, and they didn't know why this thing was so bold that he dared to commit a crime against the wind.

The hall was quiet for a while.

Li Chengqian was overjoyed, he knew that he was fine, even if it didn't rain, he wouldn't need to carry the thunder by himself now. The responsibility has been taken over by Li You.

When Li Ke saw Li You, he felt strange in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on, he seemed to hope that Li You was right.

Li Yan saw that Li You was coming out, and subconsciously hid behind Wei Zheng's back. He was feeling bad now, and he had a premonition that he was going to be slapped in the face again.

Li Tai didn't feel good either, and he didn't understand why this product came out again.

Li Shimin asked uncertainly: "Did you say that it will definitely rain at noon?" ”

Li You said affirmatively; "Definitely."

Li Shimin was a little unconvinced, and groaned for a while.

Xiao Dongchang supported the crown prince, but when he saw Li You, he became angry and became angry. He originally didn't like Li You, so he rejected Yin Hongzhi's proposal. If Li You is really that rubbish, he will be very balanced in his heart.

However, unexpectedly, Li You suddenly forked, and now it can be described as excellent. Xiao Dongchang felt like he was slapped in the face as soon as he saw Li You, so he became more and more unhappy when he saw Li You.

He couldn't help but sneer: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you said it would rain, would it rain?" Li Chunfeng also said that it would rain, did it rain? ”

"Yes, could it be that you also got the guidance of Taishang Laojun? When did you become a Taoist? Ha ha. Yan Liben said.

"Hahahaha", the people who supported Li Tai burst into laughter.

Wei Zheng was a little worried, and he reminded; "Your Highness, the stakes are very high, and you can't talk about it."

Li Tai said pretendedly: "Fifth brother, I know that Li Chunfeng often comes to your house to ask for arithmetic, and the relationship is deep. But you don't have to stand up for Li Chunfeng. ”

Li You said: "I said that it would rain, but you don't believe it, right?" ”

No one in the hall believed it.

This matter is so weird that even Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chigong, Yin Hongzhi and others can't believe it. After all, who can say for sure when it will rain?

The ministers shook their heads in unison, and no one believed it.

Next, Li You was even more outrageous, he threw an atomic bomb. He said: "Father, Taishang Laojun is grateful for your sincerity in praying for rain for the people, not only at noon, but also auspicious rain from the sky. ”

Li Shimin saw that he had a nose and eyes and believed it a little. He asked, "What auspiciousness?" ”

Li You said: "The Taishang Laojun ordered the Dragon King of the East China Sea to rain countless fish from the sky when it was raining and gave them to you and the people of Chang'an to enjoy. ”

"What? Is this possible? "There is chaos in the hall, and absolutely no one believes it.

Li Tai finally dared to make up his mind, and he didn't believe what Li You said. He said, "Li You, you are simply talking nonsense. ”

"That's it, that's it."

"It's outrageous."

……

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others shook their heads slightly, feeling sorry for Li You.

Yin Hongzhi was about to cry again, and said in his heart: "My nephew who is not stingy, sooner or later, I will be scared to death by him." ”

Li You laughed and said, "None of you believe it? Okay, I'll pay 100,000 yuan, one loses ten, does anyone dare to bet with me? ”

Li Tai was anxious, and said loudly: "I'll bet with you, you don't have to pay ten, you can pay five, I will bet 20,000 yuan, and I will bet your 100,000 yuan." ”

He wanted to say stiffly, it's okay to pay one for one, but he really doesn't have anyone who has Li You's money.

Yan Liben also let go, he said: "The minister bet 5,000 guan and gambled with His Highness." ”

Xiao Dongchang also made 3,000 yuan and bet on Li Tai to win.

The person who won the last bet on Wan Ji has long wanted to find a chance to get it back. Seeing that Li You would undoubtedly lose this time, he raised the bet and bet on Li Tai to win.

Although Yin Hongzhi, Cheng Biting Jin, Wei Chigong and others felt that Li You would lose, they gritted their teeth and supported Li You, and each gave 10,000 yuan.

Li Chengqian hoped that Li You would win, so he gritted his teeth and bet 20,000 yuan on Li You to win.

Wei Zheng felt that Li You would lose, but he hoped that Li You would win. If Li You wins, it means that Li Shimin wins, and the court wins. For the sake of the country and the people, Wei Zheng decided to support Li You.

He took out half of the money he won last time and bet on Li You to win. I want to lose half of it, and I can accept it.

In the past, if such a thing happened in the court, Li Shimin would definitely stop it, but today's incident is too weird, and Li Shimin hopes that Li You can win.

Such a result is very beneficial to the imperial court, which is exactly what Li Shimin hopes to see.

Therefore, he said: "Make an exception today and allow the ministers present to participate in the gambling game." The next is not an example. ”

Wang De is the game-maker, and Xiao Qian, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who do not participate in gambling, are the supervisors. Anyway, the results will come out at noon.

However, Li Shimin said the ugly words in the front, if Li You lost, Li Chunfeng was beheaded and displayed to the public, and Li Chengqian was grounded for a month. Li You's punishment will definitely be heavier than Li Chengqian's.

At this point, it was already 10 a.m.

Li Shimin had no intention of dealing with other government affairs, so he let the ministers disperse, and agreed that before noon, they would all go to the Suzaku Gate to wait for the results.
