Chapter 420: Eat a Dumb Loss!
But hearing Li Yi's words, everyone in the entire imperial study was speechless in an instant.
Only then did Li Shimin suddenly realize that what he had just said seemed a little reckless.
Moreover, when everyone saw Li Yi at this moment, there was a stunned look on their faces, as if he really didn't know it at all, which made everyone in the imperial study begin to wonder in their hearts.
"The eldest grandson Chong was injured in Dengzhou and broke his right leg, what is the matter...... Did Li Yi do it on purpose?"
Everyone had to be so skeptical.
Because in their opinion, Li Yi and Changsun Chong have always had contradictions.
Therefore, the first object of their suspicion was Li Yi.
However, before they have figured out the truth of the matter, they can't indiscriminately slander as soon as they open their mouths, saying that the reason why Li Yi let Changsun Chong go to Dengzhou is to deliberately murder Changsun Chong, right?
The reason for this...... It's really far-fetched.
Because they have no evidence at all.
And this time, the reason why this guy was able to go to Dengzhou was that this cheap Dengzhou assassin was supported by Changsun Wuji from beginning to end.
They still have a good understanding of Li Yi's character.
Li Yi would not be so ruthless.
Although Li Yi likes to pit people on weekdays, they all know in their hearts that Li Yi is so kind-hearted, it is impossible for him to do such a cruel thing that hurts people and breaks his leg.
That's too cruel, isn't it?
So, they just doubted it in their hearts.
What's more, if Li Yi deliberately murdered Changsun Chong, then Changsun Wuji is Li Yi's murderer.
But that's not possible!
The eldest grandson Chong is the eldest man of his family, and the eldest grandson Wuji is the father, how could he harm his son?
Therefore, when Li Yi answered like this, and with doubts on his face, everyone was even more puzzled in their hearts.
The reason why they knew that Changsun Chong had an accident in Dengzhou was because last night, when they were discussing "how to deal with traitors", they received a report from Dengzhou.
The report said that Changsun Chong's right leg was bitten off by the sea god when he went out fishing.
If it weren't for the accompanying queue, for the sake of safety, the eldest grandson Wuji assigned the eldest grandson Chong with a few skilled military doctors, but I am afraid that the current eldest grandson Chong would have already met the prince of Yama.
But fortunately, Wei Zheng, Cheng Zhijie and others persuaded each other, and Li Jing immediately came forward to protect Li Yi.
I didn't say anything about this in the court.
After being silent for a moment, Li Shimin simply changed his question.
"Li Bo'an, I ask you, you answer me honestly!" Li Shimin stared at Li Yi with a solemn face, and then asked out loud, "When you left Dengzhou, did you know that there was a sea god in the Dengzhou Sea?" ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately narrowed his eyes and glared at Li Yi slightly.
looked like he wanted to eat Li Yi alive.
It can be imagined how angry the eldest grandson Wuji is at this moment.
Although he didn't say it bluntly, it was Li Yi who intended to kill Changsun Chong's life, but at this moment, his secretly hideous eyes had already explained everything.
In his heart, he always suspected that it was Li Yi!
If it weren't for Li Shimin, I was afraid that the eldest grandson Wuji would have been mad a long time ago.
And Wei Zheng and the others also looked at Li Yi curiously.
Everyone was waiting for Li Yi's answer.
"Dengzhou Sea Area...... Is there a sea god existing? Li Yi scratched his head in confusion, rolled a pair of big eyes, and thought about it seriously.
Suddenly, Li Yi remembered and nodded with a look of sudden realization.
"Back to the saint, it seems that there is such a thing!"
Li Yi directly clasped his fists and saluted and said to Li Shimin, "Wechen remembers that on the eve of Weichen's departure from Dengzhou, it seems that there are soldiers and Wechen, and they once mentioned such a sentence. ”
"However, even if Dengzhou is the god of the sea, the soldiers have already prepared a big screen for fishing, and it stands to reason that as long as the screen comes out and the soldiers don't go into the water, they can easily catch the god of the sea!"
Li Yi then talked eloquently, and said with a serious face: "If you can capture the sea god, it will be a great plan for the benefit of Dengzhou!" ”
"Holy one, could it be...... The eldest grandson rushed at him and led people to catch the sea god together? Li Yi looked at Li Shimin with a happy look.
Li Yi didn't lie.
The god of the sea they are talking about has another familiar name: whales.
The whale is full of countless treasures.
The big net used to catch whales, Du Wei had already ordered people to prepare.
It's just that early the next morning, when Li Yi and Du Wei, the soldiers of the Tang Army, the men and people of Dengzhou and others were happily preparing to go to sea to capture the sea god, the conflict between the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson came.
Before Li Yidu could say a word, the eldest grandson Chong urged Li Yi and the others to leave Dengzhou immediately.
As for the eldest grandson Chong, whether he had caught that sea god, Li Yi was very curious.
So, everyone saw Li Yi and looked at Li Shimin with a look full of excitement.
"......" Li Shimin.
"......" Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others were speechless.
However, when the eldest grandson Wuji saw Li Yi's expression, he was invisibly angry in his heart.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, he forcibly endured the anger against Li Yi in his heart, and saluted Li Shimin with a fist, and the eldest grandson Wuji said in a loud voice, "Holy Lord, can Weichen ask Li Bo'an, a few questions?" ”
"Just ask." Li Shimin waved his hand.
To be honest, not only Li Shimin, but even Li Yi's father Li Jing, as well as Cheng Zhijie and others in the imperial study, are very eager to find out what happened at this moment.
Because the eldest grandson rushed to the people, the report brought from Dengzhou said that if it weren't for Li Yi, he wouldn't have broken a leg......
Eldest Sun Chong put all the responsibility on Li Yi.
And what Li Yi said just now also caused everyone's suspicion of Li Yi to deepen a little.
"Li Bo'an." With Li Shimin's permission, after the eldest grandson Wuji hugged his fists and thanked him, he looked at Li Yi and asked directly, "Old man, let me ask you, when you left Dengzhou, why didn't you tell my family about the presence of a sea god in the sea area of Dengzhou?" ”
"Could it be...... You've always wanted to kill my son, but you can't do it? The eldest grandson Wuji squinted, revealing a fierce color invisibly.
Regarding the outrageous words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and the others did not intervene, but they were a little unhappy in their hearts.
Li Shimin did not blame him either.
But in the same way, Li Shimin was also dissatisfied with the words of the eldest grandson Wuji.
It is a big taboo to slander people indiscriminately without a clear investigation.
However, when they thought in their hearts that the eldest grandson of Wuji's family had broken a leg, the resentment in his heart must be indispensable at this moment, and it can be regarded as excusable.
Therefore, no one interfered with him.
Seeing this, the corners of Li Jing's mouth opened slightly, wanting to give Li Yi strength.
But when he thought in his heart that his son-in-law had grown up, and now it was time for him to face this situation of "being wronged" by himself, Li Jing did not speak out rashly, but waited for Li Yi to answer.
But Li Jing still gave Li Yi a look and signaled Li Yi to tell the truth.
Seeing this, Li Yi was slightly stunned in his heart.
Looking at the eldest grandson Wuji with an angry face, Li Yiwu lowered his eyebrows, squinted and said, "Uncle eldest grandson, what do you mean by this?" I, Li Bo'an, why do I want to harm my eldest grandson's life? ”
Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to speak, Li Yi continued: "Although there are indeed some small misunderstandings between me and the eldest grandson brother, it is only private, and I, Li Bo'an, have never taken it seriously. ”
"If you want to say why I didn't tell Brother Changsun about the presence of a sea god in Dengzhou, I really can't bear to talk about it!"
Li Yi looked straight and arrogant, looking at the eldest grandson Wuji opposite.
Originally, Li Yi still felt in his heart that the eldest grandson Chong had an accident in Dengzhou, which was indeed a little pitiful, and he felt a little guilty about it, but at this moment, when he saw the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Yi felt no guilt at all!
Do it yourself!
You deserve it!
The eldest grandson Wuji but hearing Li Yi say this, his eyes couldn't help but squint fiercely, and his heart became more and more determined, the reason why his son had an accident in Dengzhou must be Li Yi's ghost in secret.
Otherwise, with so many house slaves around him, how could something happen?
It's not Li Yi secretly making ghosts, who else can it be?
"Hehe......" Eldest Sun Wuji sneered, looked at Li Yi and said, "In this way, my son had an accident in Dengzhou, all this ...... Did he find it himself? ”
Although the eldest grandson Wuji did not say that the eldest grandson Chong had an accident because of Li Yi, the intention in his words was extremely insidious.
First, all of them just now, no one told Li Yi that Changsun Chong had an accident in Dengzhou.
Second, the eldest grandson Wuji's words are also deceiving Li Yi.
If Li Yi didn't pay attention, once he fell into the trap of Changsun Wuji's words, he would have the hat of "intending to murder Changsun Chong".
And now, they are still in front of Li Shimin, Wei Zheng and other ministers of the DPRK and China.
Once Li Yi answers wrong, even if he wants to wash his name, it will be difficult to wash it off.
Therefore, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words came out, Cheng Zhijie scolded 'sinister villain' on the spot, although the voice was not loud, but in the quiet imperial study, everyone heard it.
The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at Cheng Zhijie on the spot.
Cheng Zhijie replied with color, which was not false at all.
Wei Zheng and others, although they still didn't make a sound, they also quite agreed with Cheng Zhijie's words.
"Eldest Sun Wuji, this old guy, is really insidious!"
Li Yi sighed secretly in his heart, and only then did he look at the eldest grandson Wuji with a curious expression, and wondered: "Uncle eldest grandson, eldest grandson brother is in Dengzhou...... What's wrong? ”
As he spoke, Li Yi also blinked, with a look of shock on his cheeks.
Although Li Yi's shock was completely faked, this look was extremely realistic, and he couldn't find the slightest flaw.
Therefore, in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Li Shimin and others, Li Yi's vivid shock and wonder successfully deceived them.
They were completely convinced.
At the same time, the suspicion of Li Yi in their hearts also decreased a lot in an instant.
Seeing this, Li Jing and Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
After all, the old fox of Changsun Wuji, every sentence is a trap, if Li Yi really intends to murder Changsun Chong, then what Changsun Wuji said just now is enough to make Li Yi exposed.
But Li Yi didn't show his stuffing, nor did he fall into the scheme, but asked what happened to the eldest grandson...
This shows that Li Yi has no intention of murdering Changsun Chong at all!
And the eldest grandson Wuji, after listening to Li Yi's answer, the whole person was also stunned.
Obviously, he didn't expect Li Yi to say that!
In this way, Li Yi's suspicion was directly ruled out.
The eldest grandson Wuji had a headache.
"Could it be that the guess in the old man's heart turned out to be false?"
"Li Bo'an, this guy, really doesn't have a little ...... Trying to murder my son?"
"Is he really so big-hearted?"
The eldest grandson Wuji still doesn't believe it.
After all, the relationship between Changsun Chong and Li Yi is obviously there.
When he was in Chang'an City, because Li Yi robbed Li Li's quality, Changsun Chong always held a grudge against Li Yi and targeted Li Yi everywhere.
In this case, Li Yi can still be so atmospheric?
Don't worry about the eldest grandson at all?
How is this possible?!
At least in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, there is no such atmospheric person in the entire world!
If there is, then it is a saint only.
Obviously, the eldest grandson Wuji would not believe that Li Yi would have the broad-mindedness of a saint at a young age.
I don't believe it in my heart, but since Li Yi didn't fall for his plan, and everyone in the entire imperial study heard Li Yi's answer, the eldest grandson Wuji was not good at being cheeky, and then set Li Yi for him to drill.
"In that case, Li Bo'an ......" Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Li Shimin interrupt Eldest Sun Wuji's words, "Li Bo'an, you tell me, why is there a sea god in Dengzhou, don't blame you?" ”
Seeing that Li Shimin intervened, and his face was not very good-looking, the eldest grandson Wuji had to shut up immediately.
Because he found that what he said to Li Yi just now had caused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.
Although Wei Zheng and the others have not spoken out all the time, what kind of people is the eldest grandson Wuji, how can they not know their faces and what they already represent?
Therefore, choosing to be no longer aggressive is the best choice for the eldest grandson Wuji now.
Because from the beginning to the end, he didn't have any evidence!
Eldest Sun Chong's words, others will definitely not believe it, who made him compete against Li Yi all the time...
"Back to the Holy Heavens." Seeing that Li Shimin spoke up, Li Yi told him what happened one by one.
"At the beginning, the eldest grandson brother arrived in Dengzhou, and Weichen led everyone out of the city to greet him personally, but only after Weichen handed over the affairs of Dengzhou to the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson brother read out the holy decree and urged Weichen to leave Dengzhou immediately."
"Weichen didn't have a chance at that time, and told the eldest grandson about the presence of the sea god in Dengzhou!"
"But fortunately, some of the people in Dengzhou, as well as the soldiers who went out to sea to fish with Du Wei, they all knew that there was a sea god in Dengzhou, and Wei Chen thought that the eldest grandson had already caught the sea god with a gauze net!"
"Holy Lord, in fact, this is also to blame Weichen, it is Weichen's fault!"
After saying this, Li Yi sighed heartily with regret on his face.
After being silent for a moment, Li Yi continued: "At the beginning, if Weichen could disobey the holy decree, not listen to the eldest grandson, and not leave Dengzhou immediately, and tell the eldest grandson brother that there is a sea god in Dengzhou, maybe ...... The eldest grandson brother will not have an accident. ”
"Holy Lord, Weichen is guilty, please punish the Holy Lord!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Yi faced Li Shimin on the dragon chair, clasped his fists heavily, and bowed his head vigorously to plead guilty.
That look, as sincere as you want!
“……”
For a while, whether it was Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others, or the eldest grandson Wuji, after hearing Li Yi's words, they were all silent thoughtfully.
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally angry in his heart, at this moment, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The atmosphere in the imperial study was extremely embarrassing in an instant.
Speaking of which, they realized that it was not Li Yi who was at fault, but Changsun Chong.
Who are you going to reason with?
Others may not know about Changsun Chong, but as his father's eldest grandson Wuji, can he still not know what kind of urine person his son, Changsun Chong, is?
Therefore, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly suffered a dumb loss.
Regarding Li Yi's words, he was completely powerless to refute.
