For a time, the entire Chang'an City was crazy, and the news of the tragic death of Wang Yuanbo, the son of the Taiyuan royal family, swept through the entire city like a storm.

On both sides of the spacious Suzaku Street, the endless stream of people in the downtown area all talked about the murder of Wang Yuanbo, especially teahouses and wine shops.

Past merchants, to the inn to stay and rest, is to hear the lively inn lobby discussion is not lively.

"Did you hear that? Yesterday, the concubine of the Taiyuan royal family died tragically in the Longmen Dart Bureau. ”

"I have known for a long time that the person who killed Wang Yuanbo was none other than that Li Yun."

"You mean the newly sealed Cloud King? The Lone Star? ”

"That's right, except for him, who dares to do such a lawless thing, I heard that this Li Yun made a mistake and killed his mother, and those who had anything to do with him had no good end, and now he killed Wang Yuanbo, the Wang family will not give up, he will die this time."

"It's better to die, this kind of evil star will only attract bad luck if you live, it's better to die."

"That's right."

……

The people of Chang'an City have no good impression of Li Yun, and the foolish people believe in ghosts and superstitions the most, what a lonely star, they hate Li Yun to die immediately, for fear that they have a little connection with themselves, no one feels sorry for him, and no one investigates the cause and effect, which is right and which is wrong.

Like Li Yun, it is best to waste air when he lives, waste land when he dies, and die well.

Qin Huaidao, the leader of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, was ordered to go to Yunwangfu to arrest Li Yun, he led his troops to come in person, thinking that it would be a lot of work, but he didn't want Li Yun to stand alone in the courtyard of the palace.

He ordered someone to tie himself up, and when Qin Huaidao came to this point, seeing Li Yun so knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and said: "I thought that His Highness would run away, but I didn't expect that His Highness tied his hands and feet, and it seems that he guessed the result, so good, the last general also saved the tongue." ”

Li Yun smiled indifferently, and said: "Killing people to pay for my life, paying off debts, I committed a big crime, and I should admit punishment, but the person who didn't want to arrest me was actually the commander of Qin Dada, it seems that my father still attaches great importance to it." ”

Qin Huaidao is the leader of His Royal Highness's forbidden army, his official rank is not big, but it is a matter of the safety of the world, even if the first and second rank officials of the court and the central government see it, they have to be respectful.

Qin Huaidao is a cheerful person, seeing that Li Yun is in trouble, but he still has the heart to joke, and immediately laughs: "Haha~~, at such a time, His Highness still has a mind to be funny." ”

Li Yun shrugged his shoulders and said: "Horizontal is death, vertical is death, sadness is death, happiness is death, why not go to death happily and in style, and it is not in vain to go through this life, isn't it?" ”

"Well said."

"Have you ever heard of a poem, the Grand Commander?"

"What poem?"

"I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to save the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun."

After reading it, Li Yun laughed wildly, full of energy, and had no fear at all.

Although Qin Huaidao is a military general, he is also an elegant person, and the wild wolf and heroism who heard these two sentences, if it were not for the people who have heaven and earth in their hearts, they would have said such bold words categorically.

And Qin Huaidao was originally a man of temperament, and after hearing Li Yun, he saw that this person was by no means the evil star waste that was rumored in the outside world, but a real man

"Good poetry, good poetry, good poetry." Qin Huaidao was stunned, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration, and said: "Before coming here, the last general was still hostile to His Highness, but now it seems that the last general is wrong, and His Highness is a person of true temperament." If Your Highness is lucky enough to come back alive, I will drink three hundred cups with you. ”

"I've drunk this wine, it's not so easy for the Wang family to kill me by borrowing my father's hand."

"Haha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and then, Qin Huaidao ordered someone to kidnap them.

From Yunwangfu to the Imperial City, on the way to pass through the Vermilion Bird Street, so "swaggering through the city" is inevitably too conspicuous, along the way, many people pick up rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves and throw them at Li Yun.

"Heavenly Evil Lone Star, you are going to die."

"Li Yun, you scourge of God's damnation, go and die."

"Kill Li Yun."

……

Along the way, it was vegetable leaves and stones that smashed on Li Yun's face and body, and Qin Huaidao on the side wanted to step forward to stop the people, but there were too many people, and it was difficult to stop them.

Seeing that Li Yun was spurned and humiliated by everyone, the dignified King Yun was reduced to a prisoner, not even as good as a pig and a dog.

Walking in front of the gate of the imperial city, Qin Huaidao saw that Li Yun was dirty, and asked, "Are you angry?" ”

"What's the point?"

"You must be angry to be stoned and thrown with vegetable leaves by the people, right?"

Li Yun looked at him, the corners of his mouth rose, outlining a king's smile, and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, the people only know that I killed someone, but they don't know what the internal situation is, if I can't even bear such a small humiliation, I won't live until now." ”

Li Yun has suffered countless cold eyes and ridicule since he was a child, and if he was angry every time, he would have died of anger a long time ago.

"Good spirit."

I have to say that after Qin Huaidao saw Li Yun more and more, the more he felt that he was not simple, he was honest and bold, and he had a world and a spirit, this kind of person was just to his taste, but it was a pity that he ...... Ay!

After tidying up his clothes a little, Li Yun was escorted to the court, and now the atmosphere above the court is weird, and the ministers are standing on both sides, one article and one martial arts.

Li Yun walked on top of the main hall, entered from the main entrance of the Taiji Hall to the central position, and knelt on the ground.

"Criminal minister Li Yun, meet my father!!" Li Yun's voice echoed in the hall, and his breath was very loud.

Before, Li Shimin was still a little sorry for Li Yun, he was ashamed of Li Yun's mother and son over the years, especially after Le Yao's death, so he ignored everyone's opposition and canonized Li Yun as the king of the county.

But what about Li Yun? Instead of giving Li Shimin a long face, he first slaughtered the villagers of Lantian Village, and later disabled Li Chengqian, even if these Li Shimin can bear it.

can kill Wang Yuanbo and fall out with the Taiyuan Wang family, which is exactly what Li Shimin does not want to see.

For example, it was decided that Li Shimin had only been on the throne for more than two years, and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was still unstable, with external troubles and internal worries, Turkic tigers eyeing the Turks, and five surnames and seven clans coveting imperial power.

The five surnames and seven clans are big families with a thousand-year-old foundation, even Li Shimin is afraid of them, not afraid of them, but at least now is not the time to turn his face, after his foundation is stable, he will slowly eradicate the threat of the five surnames and seven clans.

The Taiyuan Wang family, as one of the seven major families, is of course very strong, and the royal family is also afraid of giving up three points.

But now, Li Yun killed Wang Yuanbo, which is equivalent to a complete break with the Taiyuan Wang clan, once the Wang clan breeds trouble, the consequences are unimaginable.

Thinking of this, the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more angry he became, only blaming himself for being too confused at the beginning, not listening to the dissuasion of the people, and sealing Li Yun as the prince, now seeing Li Yun is really angry, and the more he looks at it, the more annoying he becomes, and even feels annoying.

But the matter has come to this point, and Li Shimin can only use Li Yun's life to calm the anger of the Taiyuan Wang family.

"Li Yun, can you plead guilty?" Li Shimin said angrily.

In the face of Li Shimin's angry questioning, Li Yun was in danger and said: "Erchen is guilty, but he does not admit guilt. ”

"You killed someone, the evidence is conclusive, and you dare to quibble?"

"It is true that the son of a son kills someone, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it is a great crime that cannot be forgiven, but the father does not ask the reason to force the son to admit his guilt, and the son cannot obey his fate." Li Yun said.

He didn't plan to accept his fate, even if he made people and made himself the prince of the Tang Dynasty, then in the next few years, he would trample all the people who prevented him from ascending to the throne.

Including Li Chengqian, Li Zhi, and Li Tai.

Li Shimin glanced at Wang Zhong, only to see Wang Zhong clasping his hands in front of his chest, and did not answer, the dignified emperor even had to look at the faces of others to act, which made Li Shimin very unhappy.

"What? Don't you have any other arguments? ”

"The son does have something to say."

"Okay, I'll let you make it clear before you ambush, I want to see if it's hard for you to kill someone and say a flower?" Li Shimin said.

"Father, is the murderer guilty? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was a tyrant, his father and emperor fought with Gaozu in the crusade, annihilated the Sui army, created an immortal imperial industry, and killed countless enemy generals, is this a crime? ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Sui Wudao, I have given orders to heaven to do righteous deeds, and those who are killed are all people who should be killed, so naturally they cannot be punished." ”

"That's it, so is the minister."

"Nonsense, how do you compare to me!"

"My father did righteous deeds, went through thousands of difficulties and dangers, created a prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and saved the people of Li from fire and water, but now there are people who are vainly trying to subvert the Tang Dynasty, dare to ask if this person should be killed?"

Everyone was confused, and they didn't know what Li Yun wanted to express as geometry, didn't he just kill Wang Yuanbo? How could there be anything to subvert Datang.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"The son-in-law has this question, and he also asks his father to answer his questions."

Li Shimin's face sank, and he said, "Come on! ”

"Confucius has a saying, three outlines and five constants, with the minister as the monarch as the first priority, between the monarch and the minister, the monarch is noble, and the minister is light. The king is the son of heaven, and he is appointed to heaven, and we are all human ministers, but we are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, which are not as respected by the monarch. ”

"I am the prince, although not as noble as the Son of Heaven, but after the Son of Heaven, I am also a royal family, and I am blessed by my father, however, in the Tang Mansion, the sons and Wang Yuanbo were originally to learn, but he was not the enemy, and he wanted to take the lives of the sons and daughters, and kill the royal family.

I have to say that Li Yun's remarks are quite debatable, and after everyone listens to them, they take a closer look and see that this is indeed the case.

Li Yun is a royal family, even if Wang Yuanbo is a noble family, after all, he is the people, and the people kill the king, what is it if he is not a rebellion? !

Seeing that everyone was thinking about it, Li Yun said again: "Wang Yuanbo plotted to kill the royal family, intending to rebel, and his sons killed him, not only is he not guilty, but he has merit, and his father should reward him, and now he is forced to confess, which is really unconvincing." ”

When he said this, Li Shimin was completely speechless, when did this kid become so flamboyant, and Fang Xuanling watched from the wall, listening to Li Yun's words, and showed a gratifying smile.

But when Li Shimin had nothing to say, the silent Wang Zhong stood up, and he laughed loudly: "What a sophistry, I can't imagine that the dignified King Yun can even kill people so fresh and refined." ”

"Who are you?"

Wang Zhong waved his sleeves: "Who am I, you are not qualified to know, killing people to pay off debts and pay off debts, this is the rule." ”

"Whose rule is this? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"Our royal family."

"How dare you compare the rules of your Wang family with the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

Wang Zhong laughed: "It's ridiculous, the law of the Tang Dynasty is set for you, but we can't help our Wang family, if you kill the people of the Wang family, you must die, even if you are the prince, so what!" ”

After that, Wang Zhong didn't bother to say anything more, and directly ordered Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, what are you waiting for, this kind of rebel has not left to be beheaded, do you want to offend our Wang family?" Think about how you got your throne, and we can make you or destroy you. ”

"Wang Zhong, you are presumptuous!"

"What about presumptuousness? Will you kill this man or not? Wang Zhong asked angrily.

"What if I don't kill it?"

"Then I have to ask Your Majesty to die."

For a while, there was tension in the court, and the atmosphere was extremely icy.
