Eldest Sun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yan Liben and others all believe that Li Chengqian and Li You will never do such a stupid thing, especially Li You, who is definitely a human spirit, and he can't make it difficult for others to grasp the handle in such details.

Therefore, Xu Jingzong definitely did not dare to let Xu You and Liu Hui come out to confront him, so they asked Li Shimin to allow Xu You and Liu Hui to come out to confront him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister has this intention, please allow Xu You and Liu Hui to come out to confront each other, so that these people have nothing to say." ”

In fact, when the ministers proposed to let Xu You and Liu Hui come out to confront him, Li Shimin also didn't believe that this matter was true, and he guessed that maybe Li Chengqian could do such a thing, he and Li Tai have always been incompatible, and it is possible to do such a thing in anger. But Li You's kid is extremely smart and has a sense of the overall situation, and he has never heard of him doing such an unworthy thing.

Li Shimin knew that Li Chengqian and Li You were close, and he must have discussed how to deal with Li Tai, and he should not have done such a thing, and this matter is too easy for people to grasp.

In the face of the ministers' requests, Li Shimin was hesitating whether to agree, he was worried that Xu You and Liu Hui would come out and overturn the confession, and the scene would be very embarrassing, so it would not be a question of whether Xu Jingzong could come to power, but a naked slap on his face Li Shimin.

Xu Jingzong's attitude was unexpectedly resolute, which made Li Shimin's eyes shine, and he found that Xu Jingzong was really a talent, and he was stable and reliable.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, pass Xu You and Liu will go to the upper hall." ”

This matter was the responsibility of the Baiqi Division, and Ma Xuanliang immediately sent someone to bring Xu You and Liu Hui over.

The court is very close to the Taiji Palace, and within a stick of incense, Zhou Pan, the deputy head of the Hundred Cavalry Division, came in, and he reported: "Your Majesty, the minister only brought Xu You, and Liu Hui is already dead." ”

"What's the matter, how can people die in the prison?"

"yes, there must be something wrong with this."

"Buzz", as soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly wanted to open a pot, and the ministers talked about it.

Li Shimin's brows also furrowed, and he asked dissatisfiedly, "Xu Jingzong, how could this Liu Hui die?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "The minister thought that he committed suicide in fear of crime, and when the minister interrogated him in prison, he was very afraid, saying that someone might kill his whole family, and he probably wanted to exchange his own death for the safety of his whole family." ”

Li Shimin asked, "Zhou Pan, how did Liu Hui die?" ”

Zhou Pan said: "He used his trouser belt to hang the beam, as for whether it was suicide or homicide, this incident happened not long ago, and the ministers have not yet investigated clearly." ”

After speaking, he and Ma Xuanliang glanced at each other, and both of them were very depressed. Li You specifically explained that they wanted to ensure the safety of Xu You and Liu Hui, but they were only responsible for taking people, and it was not their Baiqi Division in the Heavenly Prison who was responsible for it, and Zongzheng Temple was responsible for it.

Li Shimin said: "You go to investigate this matter, and after you have the results, report it to me." ”

"Obey." After Zhou Pan finished speaking, he stepped back.

At this time, Xu You knelt in the center of the main hall, Li Shimin saw that he was neatly dressed, and he could not see that he had been tortured to extract a confession, and felt that the words of Yan Liben and others were a bit exaggerated.

He asked, "Xu You, is there anything Xu Jingzong said?" You tell the truth. ”

Xu You said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. More than a month ago, an official from the Prince's Mansion came to see his minister, and he said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had explained that all articles written by Li Jungong would not be allowed to be published in the Datang Daily. ”

"Is this possible, someone must have forced him to say that."

"This guy is just nonsense, this thing is absolutely impossible."

"Buzz." There was another discussion in the hall.

Li Shimin asked: "Xu You, did someone force you to say this about this matter?" ”

Xu You said: "No one persecuted the guilty ministers, this is how things happened, and the ministers did not dare to lie in front of His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin asked, "Did Xu Jingzong torture you?" ”

Xu You said: "At the beginning, the minister was afraid of retaliation from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, and Lord Xu hit the minister a few times, but it was not serious.

Your Majesty, the minister is really forced to do this under pressure, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the minister's crimes. ”

Li Shimin was very satisfied with his answer, or rather very satisfied with such a result.

This incident is enough to prove that Li Chengqian has done something to deal with Li Tai, and it is the ministers' fault that the ministers are at fault for following him to mess around. And this matter is not a big deal, it is just the seizure of an article by Li Tai, and the mistakes made by Li Chengqian and Li You are not a big deal. Li Shimin's slight punishment of them not only safeguarded his own dignity, but also dealt a blow to the arrogance of Li Chengqian and Li You, and did not cause any serious consequences, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

He said: "You are not entirely to blame for this matter, and it is not a big thing, so I will not punish you." Let's reinstate the officer. ”

Xu You was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Li Shimin had already made a decision at this time, he was ready to fine Li Chengqian and Li You for half a year, anyway, these two guys were not short of money, and the matter was over. He believed that the ministers had nothing to say now, and could no longer object to his reuse of Li Tai.

"Uh-huh." Li Shimin cleared his throat and was about to speak.

"Your Majesty, the minister has questions." At this moment, two people in the main hall stood up at the same time and said. It turned out to be Wei Zheng and Yan Liben.

Li Shimin asked dissatisfiedly: "The matter is already very clear, what else do you have to say?" ”

Wei Zheng and Yan Liben glanced at each other, and Wei Zheng said, "Lord Yan, please speak." With that, he stepped aside.

Yan Liben nodded to Wei Zheng and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the minister has been engaged in criminal investigation work for decades, and I still have some questions about this matter. ”

Li Shimin felt that this guy was really troublesome, but in front of the ministers of the palace, he couldn't stop Yan Liben's request, otherwise, he would seem to be weak-hearted. He had no choice but to say, "Just ask." ”

Yan Liben walked in front of Xu You, reached out and grabbed his collar and tugged at it, and said, "Xu You, please take off your clothes." ”

Without waiting for Xu You to answer, Xu Jingzong immediately said, "Lord Yan, what are you doing here?" This is the sacred court hall, you let him loosen his clothes and untie his belt, and lose his honor in front of His Majesty, what crime should he be guilty of? ”

Yin Hongzhi immediately said: "Xu Jingzong, what are you going to do?" Why don't you let Lord Yan finish speaking?

When His Royal Highness the King of Northwest was the king of Qi, he said in this hall: There are always some people who are shameless and interrupt others indiscriminately when they are talking. After so many years, why has the quality of some people not improved? ”

"It makes sense, this quality is too poor."

"It's like, this guy looks like a villain."

"Yes, Lord Yan asked Xu You, what is in the way of loving you Xu Jingzong."

"This guy is obviously a thief with a weak heart, and he is afraid that Lord Yan will find out the problem."

"Buzz." A rebuke rang out from the hall.

Yan Liben said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and it involves the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Northwest King. Please Yunchen investigate this matter clearly, so that everyone will not talk about it behind their backs. ”

Yan Liben spoke very well, what he meant was that if you didn't ask things clearly in front of everyone, your Majesty the Emperor would be no wonder everyone was talking about you behind your back?

Li Shimin said helplessly: "You ask, and the others don't interrupt him." ”

Xu Jingzong was anxious, but he couldn't stop Yan Liben from asking.

Xu Yu took off his shirt at Yan Liben's urging. The scars on his body were shocking.

That's not all, Yan Liben simply ripped off Xu You's pants, and everyone could see that his buttocks and thighs also had burnt marks.

Yan Liben said: "Xu Jingzong, this is what you call a normal interrogation? I really admire you, you are really a master of torture, and you specialize in blackmailing people out of sight. ”

"This guy is too ruthless, he usually looks quite honest, but he didn't expect it to be so black."

"Mom, that's scary. I now understand how Liu Hui died? ”

Ministers expressed their displeasure.

Xu You put on his clothes and said nothing with tears in his eyes.

Wei Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, he walked over and asked, "Xu You, were you beaten into a trick?" ”

Xu You's eyes were full of tears, he looked at Li Shimin, and then at Xu Jingzong, gritted his teeth and said: "No, what the minister just said is true, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to force the minister to do it." ”

Wei Zheng said: "You are sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forced you to do it, who did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send to convey his meaning to you?" You name the man and let him confront you. ”

Xu You said: "I don't know that person, he is holding the waist card of the Prince's Mansion in his hand, I don't dare not listen." ”

Wei Zheng said loudly: "Okay, I don't know one." ”

He turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, my lords, do you still think his words are credible? ”
