Because the lights were dark, Li Shimin didn't figure out who leaked Li Tai's letter for a while, so he attributed the matter to Li Chengqian's recent rampant arrest of Yu Yongning, which made Yu Zhining suspicious.

Li Shimin put down Yu Zhining's note and picked up another book of Liu Dewei's note from the Criminal Department, the content of the note was about Li You, the king of Qi, plotting to assassinate Shi Quan Wanji, the head of the Qi Palace, and Liu Dewei could already determine through a detailed investigation that Li You had planned to assassinate Shi Quan Wanji, the head of the Qi Palace.

After Li Shimin finished reading Liu Dewei's recital, he slapped it on the table fiercely, and said loudly: "Bastard!" ”

Li Shimin suddenly became angry and frightened, and the attendants in the palace hurriedly lay on the ground and didn't dare to look up, but Li Shimin didn't know anything about it, and kept staring at the music on the table for a while, sighed, and slowly picked up the music and criticized it directly: Li You, the king of Qi, and Shi Quan, the head of the Qi Palace, saw that they quickly entered Chang'an and waited for the fate.

Li Shimin was in an irritated mood after writing the comment, got up and walked out of the Manna Palace, stood on His Majesty Dan, and saw Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, caressing a doe and whispering.

Li Shimin looked at their brother and sister Jin Boy and Jade Girl and smiled unconsciously, and walked over.

Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang saw Li Shimin coming and hurriedly saluted Li Shimin, Li Shimin smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

Princess Jinyang stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Li Shimin's hand and said, "Brother Jiu saved a doe." ”

Li Shimin looked down and saw that it was a pregnant doe with a big belly, but this doe was paralyzed on the ground, and saw so many of them coming to the ground with two front legs to support themselves, but the back half of the body could not get up, obviously the two hind legs of the deer were not lightly injured.

Seeing this, Li Shimin put down his face at this moment, and asked in a cold voice: "Who hurt the doe in the spring?"

The doe is generally conceived in the autumn of the previous year, and the calf is born in late spring and early summer of the following year.

In order to achieve sustainable hunting, the ancients summed up the rules of hunting such as "opening the net", "counting the fish not entering the pond" and "not hunting in the spring", leaving time for wild animals to recuperate.

Li Shimin was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and he had always hated the fact that others hurt the deer in spring, and Li Zhi, as his favorite son, was naturally very aware of this.

Seeing that Li Shimin's face changed, Princess Jinyang took advantage of the opportunity to lean on Li Shimin's arm and did not speak, and Li Zhi's face changed when he heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Erchen doesn't know." ”

With Li Shimin's eyes, he could naturally see that Li Zhi was lying, his face became even more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't know what you rescued?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi quietly raised his head to look at Li Shimin, whose face was sinking like water, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Shimin's eyes again, and said in a squeaky voice: "Erchen just went to see off the fourth brother (Li Tai), and he passed by when he came back...... When I passed by Yong'an Palace, I saw this injured doe and brought it back, so I didn't know it was ...... Who hurt this doe......"

Li Shimin knew at a glance that what Li Zhi said was not true, but he didn't need to ask when he mentioned Yong'an Palace, Yong'an Palace was built by Li Shimin for Li Yuan in the eighth year of Zhenguan, and Li Yuan died before he built it, and later Li Zhi expanded into Daming Palace.

The people near Yong'an Palace are all people arranged by Li Chengqian to reclaim wasteland, and it is self-evident who injured this deer.

Li Shimin thought that Li You had a conflict with Quan Wanji because he went hunting, and he assassinated Quan Wanji, and Li Chengqian was no better...... The mood is even heavier.

But seeing that Li Zhi was kind-hearted and still hiding it for Li Chengqian, he was very relieved, and reached out to touch Li Zhi's shoulder and said, "You have done a good job of letting people take good care of this doe." ”

Li Shimin turned around and walked back to the Manna Hall slowly.

Li Chengqian can finally leave the East Palace, and it just so happens that Li Chengqian must also leave the palace once, and although the cases handled by Li Yifu these days have also been tried and sentenced publicly, so that the people have been greatly satisfied, all the judgments have not yet been executed, and the most important compensation that should be given to the plaintiff and the people has not been fulfilled.

According to common sense, these serious offenders involved in major cases of rebellion should be tried by the East Palace and handed over to Li Shimin for personal adjudication, but because Li Shimin had issued an edict and Li Chengqian had the right to adjudicate the case, only when there were still people who were dissatisfied with the case decided by Li Chengqian, it was necessary to hand them over to Li Shimin for personal adjudication.

Moreover, if Li Chengqian wants to reduce the tax in Guanzhong now, it will certainly not work by relying on Yan Lide's letter alone, so Li Chengqian is anxious to establish authority, so Li Chengqian has decided to personally preside over the public handling of these cases, not only to try them, but also to openly enforce them.

In the Chongjiao Palace, Li Chengqian sat on the throne and a group of henchmen of the East Palace were lined up on both sides, discussing the trial in front of the Suzaku Gate later.

"It's really beautiful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to try the case in person publicly, it's a clear sky, hehe......" Du He said with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, your throne is still set up on the tower of the Suzaku Gate, in front of the gate, in case there are unscrupulous people who take the opportunity to make trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince's safety ......" Zhu Suiliang hoped that Li Chengqian's safety would be guaranteed.

Li Chengqian smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Zhu don't worry, although the whole Chang'an family came to watch today, there are only tens of thousands of people, and there are Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui on the periphery to check it, and the first few rows are all the original people of the dragon head, and the lone king can be trusted." ”

Zhu Suiliang sighed when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been able to enjoy with the people, you are naturally loved by the people, but you are also hated by the villains, it is better to be careful in everything, and the ministers will also go out to see how they find out." ”

Zhu Suiliang has also heard in the East Palace these days that many people have complained about the noble An Xungui, and he is also very disgusted by this noble noble's wrongdoing, and he is very supportive of Li Chengqian's personal presiding over the trial.

Seeing Zhu Suiliang go out, Xu Jingzong said with a worried face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it is safer to hand over these cases to His Majesty for adjudication." ”

Of course, Li Chengqian knew that the crimes committed by these people had already been tried publicly, and it would be a death to hand them over to Li Shimin, but their property would definitely be returned to the families of these people with Li Shimin's bent intention of being a benevolent monarch.

"No, King Gu will personally preside over this matter, so that the people of Chang'an City will know that King Gu will administer justice to them." Li Chengqian said firmly.

Xu Jingzong knew that he couldn't be persuaded and stopped talking.

Then everyone chatted about other things, and after the people and hundreds of officials entered, Li Chengqian set up a car and drove straight to the main gate of the imperial city, Suzaku Gate, with a group of henchmen of the East Palace.

When Li Chengqian's car came to the Suzaku Gate, there was already a sea of people in front of the Suzaku Gate, and because the matter was tried at the edge of the Imperial City, the officials who worked in the Taiji Palace and the officials who worked in the Imperial City also came out early to see what Li Chengqian's verdict would be.

Xue Rengui took the guards of the East Palace to build a high platform in front of the Suzaku Gate, on which was set up the throne where Li Chengqian sat when he was sitting, and the people who came to watch were arranged in the open space in front of the high platform according to different arrangements, and the officials were arranged by Su Dingfang on the left and right.

At this time, seeing Li Chengqian's car driving out of the high platform, the people standing in front of the high platform were busy kneeling down and saluting, and they were shouting all kinds of auspicious words in their mouths.

Seeing this, officials on both sides also bowed down and saluted Li Chengqian's car, and Li Chengqian waited for the car to stop and slowly walked out of the car with his crutches and waved to the people in front of the city gate.

When the people saw Li Chengqian waving to them, they were excited and repeated the auspicious words in their mouths over and over again, and the entire venue with a radius of thousands of square meters was buzzing.

Although Li Chengqian didn't hear a word of what they said, his mood was also very excited.

Seeing this, the hundreds of officials standing on both sides of the high platform were a little at a loss, and many officials did not approve of many of Li Chengqian's methods, but when they saw this situation at this time, their hearts were mixed......

Li Chengqian walked up and slowly walked up to the high platform, stood in the middle of the high platform and looked up at the cloudless sky, then looked at the cheering people under the high platform, stretched out his hands and gently pressed down, and the people below immediately stopped blowing and waited for Li Chengqian to speak.
