Chapter 30: The Counter of the Court

Before dawn, he was awakened from his sleep by an emergency report outside the palace, and after inquiring about the situation, Li Shimin's body shook up and almost fell to the ground.

He plucked out his ears, thinking it was an auditory hallucination, and couldn't help but ask again: "What did you just say?" Who killed Changsun Chong? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, according to what the eldest grandson said, the person who killed the eldest grandson is His Royal Highness King Yun." The eunuch did not dare to conceal it, such a major event should be reported on 1510.

"It's Li Yun again! Just made a war exploit and caused this incident, I knew that this was the case, and I should not have left this scourge in the first place. ”

It was not easy to make a contribution in the suppression of the Turkic army, and he performed well in the eradication of the remnants of the Wang family, but not long after, he caused a big disaster, and no matter how good his temper was, he couldn't stand such a toss.

Li Shimin was not sleepy, his face immediately darkened, and he said sharply: "Change clothes!" Then he ordered people to urgently summon the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to the court.

Tai Chi Palace.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn, the ministers were silent, holding the wat board, burying their heads and not daring to raise it, such a big event happened, it was not expected by everyone, and the deceased was the eldest grandson Chong.

For him, the eldest grandson Wuji has high hopes, and Li Shimin also likes this son very much, and wants to marry the eldest princess to him, but there are unforeseen circumstances, and now the eldest grandson Chong has been killed, which is undoubtedly outrageous.

In the center of the court, the old eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji crying, no wonder he was so old.

As the head of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he made great achievements for the Tang Empire, and was awarded the title of Duke of Qi, and the official worshiped Shangshu's right servant, but now his son has been killed, and how can he not be angry.

"Come on, help the eldest grandson up, I will definitely deal with this matter impartially." Li Shimin said.

Li Yun killed people in public, and all the students of Guozijian witnessed it with their own eyes, so there was no need for a retrial, let alone a trial by the three divisions, and it was a foregone conclusion that someone would be arrested and brought to justice.

However, Li Yun is a prince after all, and he still needs to be convicted in court, and the king of Tang will sentence him for his accumulated crimes in person.

"Qin Huaidao!"

"The minister is here!"

"Quickly arrest King Yun, and I will interrogate him personally." Li Shimin said angrily.

It's not good to kill anyone, but he killed Changsun Chong, Li Yun killed Wang Yuanbo with a knife, it was an outsider, Li Shimin may be able to defend him, but the person who died was Changsun Chong, the nephew of Empress Changsun, killed his own people, what should Li Shimin do?

This son is really vicious.

Qin Huaidao was ordered by the saint to go to the Yunwang Mansion for the second time, and the last time he captured Li Yun, the picture was still vivid and clearly recognizable.

Not long after, Li Yun caused another lawsuit, and this criticized waste prince was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

King Yun is still the same as usual, the door is open, Li Yun is sure that this is the case, and he is already waiting for the court to come and arrest people.

When Qin Huaidao arrived at King Yun's mansion, Li Yun had been waiting for a long time, he looked at the time, and said with a smile: "The Great Commander will come later than expected. ”

Qin Huaidao also shook his head helplessly, he knew Li Yun's nature very well, if it weren't for the eldest grandson Chong to kill, otherwise he wouldn't have killed someone.

"It's hard to walk all the way, so it's late."

Li Yun smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid that the Great Commander did it on purpose, this kindness is remembered by this king." ”

From the Imperial City to the Yunwang Mansion, it was only half an hour, and Qin Huaidao rode a horse faster, but he walked for an hour, why?

Obviously, Qin Huaidao set aside enough time to let Li Yun escape, and he could finally help as a friend.

But as the commander of the palace, how can he bend the law for personal gain? And that's all Qin Huaidao can do.

Qin Huaidao sighed: "Alas! Your Majesty is in a hurry, let's go. ”

Li Yun was taken by the Beiya Forbidden Army and escorted to the prisoner car, and the crossing of the street attracted many people's verbal criticism, Li Yun laughed at it, but he didn't know that in this crowd, there was a pair of eyes staring at the prisoner car.

This person is Lin Qingzhu.

This matter started because of her, and besides, this matter is in an uproar, how can she sit idly by?

So, Lin Qingzhu followed the prisoner car to the outside of the imperial city in the crowd, and watched Li Yun being escorted into the court for trial, but she was helpless.

Soon, Li Yun was escorted to the court and tried by the Tang King himself.

But seeing that the court was silent, none of the ministers on the left and right sides answered, and when it came to the central position, Li Yun knelt down in the court, and after the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Yun, it was difficult to hide the anger in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything else, and scolded angrily: "Li Yun, you dog offal, return my son's life." ”

It doesn't matter if this shout, although Li Yun is guilty, he is also a prince, how can any minister shout the prince's name in the court, and he is rude. Scolding Li Yun is a miscellaneous matter, and insulting today's saints is a big crime to kill the head.

Li Shimin's face was already ugly, but it was even more gloomy at the moment.

After the eldest grandson Wuji scolded me, he also felt that something was wrong, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, Fang Caichen's intention was not to insult ......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to explain, I understand the pain of losing your son and don't care about your sins." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin turned his gaze and fell on Li Yun, and asked angrily: "King Yun, in the prison of the country, you killed the eldest grandson Chong in anger, are you guilty?" ”

In the face of King Tang's questioning, Li Yun was not afraid at all, and asked rhetorically: "Erchen really doesn't know what his father means?" ”

Seeing that Li Yun pretended to be stupid and did not admit his guilt, Li Shimin was even more angry, and said: "Bold Li Yun, you killed Changsun Chong in public, and all the people in the country can testify, you don't admit guilt?" ”

"It turns out that my father asked about the killing of Changsun Chong, yes, Changsun Chong was killed by his son."

"So, you're pleading?" Li Shimin said.

But seeing that Li Yun was neither humble nor arrogant, he said: "The son does not admit it." ”

This is an ironclad matter, but Li Yun did not repent, which made Li Shimin very angry, and said: "There are all human and material evidence, what else do you want to say?" ”

"Since my father asked, the minister really has something to say." Li Yun said that what he wanted was Li Shimin's words, since he was in court, it was his chance to turn the tables.

"Above the court, there are no fathers and sons, only monarchs and ministers, and they are not allowed to call me father and emperor again." Li Shimin said.

"Minister...... Yes, sir. ”

His words deeply pierced Li Yun's heart, the tiger poison still does not eat children, Tang Wang spoke so far, it can be seen how much he dislikes Li Yun.

It was Li Shimin's ruthlessness that made Li Yun more determined to get the position of the Ninety-Five Throne, and from then on, he broke off with Li Shimin.

"Go on, I'd like to hear what else you have to say?" Li Shimin said.

"Dare to ask the emperor, is the murderer guilty? Things are good and bad, people have good and evil, the emperor is benevolent, and the disadvantages of the tyrannical Sui are eliminated, so he created the great cause of the Tang Dynasty, which is a good person, and our subjects are following suit. Li Yun talked eloquently, "However, someone repeats the rebellion of the Sui Dynasty and intends to subvert the Tang Dynasty's benevolence, should he be killed or not?" ”

"Of course you should!" Li Shimin practiced benevolent government, and the most hated person was those who subverted his way of government. "But what does this have to do with your murder?"

Li Yun deliberately did not answer this question, but continued to guide Li Shimin step by step into his trap, and said: "Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty fornicated the world and regarded it as a human life, so his father replaced him in exchange for this long-lost peaceful and prosperous era. ”

"Such as Emperor Yang of Sui and Hu Hai of Qin II, they are all playing with the world, where can they compare to the emperor who is so diligent in government and loves the people?"

"Today, it is decided that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will recuperate, and all these achievements will be made by you, Your Majesty."

I have to say that Li Yun's mouth was like opening the light, deliberately bypassing the topic of killing Changsun Chong, and first praised Li Shimin, so as to reduce Li Shimin's anger.

Facts have proved that Li Yun is right, Rao is Li Shimin is angry, but he can't bear the fact that someone is patting him, and what Li Yun said is the truth.

When Fang Xuanling heard Li Yun's remarks, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but outline a trace of arc, and he nodded slightly.

Although I don't know what Li Yun wants to express, these words are very useful to Li Shimin, and Li Yun also feels that it is almost over, there is enough foreshadowing in the early stage, and it is time to fight back.

I only heard Li Yun suddenly say: "The Tang Empire has a holy king like the emperor, which is the blessing of the society and the blessing of the people, but now, someone wants to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, what crime should this person be?" ”

Hearing that someone wanted to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, how could Li Shimin endure it, and immediately shouted: "Presumptuous, who dares to subvert my Tang Empire?" ”

Li Yun knelt on the ground and said with sincere fear: "Of course it is...... Eldest grandson Chong. ”

Suddenly, the words changed, and the spearhead was shifted to Changsun Chong, making him the target of everyone.

Everyone is puzzled, what can a mere eldest grandson Chong do? Subverting the Tang Empire is simply ridiculous.

Li Yun had expected this to be the case, so he explained without hurry.

As a result, Li Yun led these elderly Sun Chong in the court to list all the immoral things, and all the things such as raping people's girls, abducting and selling children, and killing classmates were all said.

The reason why Li Yun is so stubborn is that he has made two preparations, and after killing Changsun Chong, he will order someone to investigate the things that Changsun Chong has done over the years.

Those victims who were mutilated by him abounded? It's breathtaking, but the eldest grandson is relying on the power of his family, and no one dares to judge him, and the unexpected discovery is that these things have been suppressed by the eldest grandson Wuji.

This made Li Yun overjoyed, the eldest grandson Wuji knew that his son was guilty of heinous crimes, but he bent the law for personal gain, and he could not escape the blame, and he could not let him go of this opportunity.

After Li Shimin listened to the sins committed by these elder Sun Chong, he was furious, and Li Yun added fuel to the fire: "Emperor, let the eldest grandson Chong's generation survive in the world, Rao is your benevolent government and good to the world, but it is difficult to implement it after all, over time, the empire is in danger, and the person behind all this is not Changsun Chong, who is it?" ”

A rat poop spoils a pot of soup, and that's what it says.

"Framed, framed, this is all framed, Your Majesty Shengming, although my son is stubborn, he has never done anything hurtful, please Your Majesty."

At this moment, Li Yun waved his sleeves and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Changsun said that the minister framed Lord Changsun Chong, since this is the case, why not invite witnesses to come to the hall to confront Lord Changsun in court!" ”

"Li Yun, if you don't have witnesses, I won't spare you." Li Shimin asked definitely.

"Of course there are witnesses."

"Then bring the witnesses up."

Li Yun walked to the front of the palace and said something to Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao left, and when he returned to the court, he passed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and only heard Li Yong's voice that could only be heard by the two of them: "Old thing, this time it's your son, and next time it's your entire family." ”

Since the eldest grandson family couldn't tolerate himself, Li Yun let the eldest grandson family disappear completely.
