Chapter 43 The minister is looking for someone to falsely accuse the prince
What the?
Carrying the coffin to the temple is going to make a fuss?
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Li Shimin was even more angry, and said loudly: "What point can't I stand up to him, he embarrasses me like this?"
Let him go to the temple! ”
But when he saw Wei Shuyu carrying Wei Zheng on his back and approaching the hall step by step, most of his anger disappeared at once, and he felt a little distressed in his heart.
Wei Zheng used to be his enemy, and he wanted to kill him, and then the relationship was not very good, but everyone has endured each other for more than ten years, and there are still some feelings.
Li Shimin could also guess Wei Zheng's intention, he must have been picked up by Li Chengqian to help him get rid of Li Tai.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian with annoyance, and made up his mind in his heart: You must not do what you Li Chengqian wanted!
Wei Zheng, with the help of Wei Shuyu, saluted Li Shimin with difficulty, Li Shimin couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Xuancheng doesn't have to be formal, come and give him a seat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng still finished the etiquette when he heard this, and then thanked him.
The little eunuch brought a little vulture, and Wei Shuyu helped Wei Zheng to sit down, but Wei Zheng's body was so bad that he couldn't sit still at all, so he had to kneel on the ground and support him, so he barely fell.
Li Chengqian looked very distressed, this person who should have been waiting for death in bed was simply involved in this battle with an uncertain future.
Wei Zheng brought two coffins, that is, he was going to put Wei Shuyu on the board. Li Chengqian looked at the father and son, one sat with difficulty, and the other knelt on the ground to help.
touched Li Shimin's scales in such a posture, and even did not hesitate to die together with father and son. Wei Zheng also had shortcomings, and even when he decided to carry the coffin to the palace, he didn't have the intention of using this to gain fame, but Li Chengqian was still moved by him.
Li Chengqian tried hard not to let his tears flow out, and said loudly:
"Bring in the lonely king's recliner and sit for Zheng Guogong!"
The old ghost who had been waiting for Li Chengqian in the corner of the hall hurriedly ran out to give orders.
The ministers in the hall looked at Wei Zheng's father and son, and they didn't know what to say, and Wei Zheng didn't have the strength to speak after a toss, and finally Li Shimin said with infinite emotion:
"Xuancheng—why are you like this——, are you really so worried about me?"
Although Li Chengqian couldn't see Li Shimin's specific expression clearly, he could hear that there was helplessness and resentment towards Wei Zheng in his words, but he was more unwilling.
He imprisoned his father and killed his brother to seize the throne, bent on being a good emperor to make up for the mistakes he made. But no matter how well he does and how future generations evaluate him, it will be difficult for him to pass the hurdle in his own heart.
The desire in the heart of an eloquent emperor is endless, Li Shimin can't suddenly wake up one morning and say that everything is fine in Datang now, I am a good emperor, so what I did back then was right.
He needs someone to acknowledge him, to tell him that you are better than your father, better than your eldest brother, that you did the right thing back then, or that you are now reparable.
This person can only be Wei Zheng, in the past, as long as Wei Zheng's advice was wrong, as long as it had nothing to do with the overall situation, he would listen to it, in order to conquer Wei Zheng's heart one day.
But what Wei Zheng did today was to carry the coffin to the hall, and what he wanted to say had already been said by Zhu Suiliang, let him drive the two most painful sons out of Chang'an and place them in the place, which was something that Li Shimin would never accept.
In the face of Li Shimin's affectionate questioning, Wei Zheng only said eight words, making Li Shimin choked and unable to speak.
"The Lu of the Eater, the Matter of Loyalty!"
These eight words are like Wei Zheng at this time, his body is dry and his heart is tough.
Li Chengqian listened to Wei Zheng's words without leaving the slightest room, and couldn't help but be a little worried, not only worried about Wei Zheng's father and son, but also worried that Li Shimin would be completely provoked and clean up with him.
At this embarrassing time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the temple.
"Presumptuous!"
Li Chengqian vaguely heard the voice of an old ghost, and when he looked back, he saw that the old ghost was carrying a reclining chair and was at the entrance of the hall.
Jin Wu, who was guarding the door, did not let the chaise longue enter the hall, and couldn't help but be furious, slammed the crutches in his hand, and shouted, "Let them bring the chaise longue in!" ”
Jin Wu, who was guarding the door, was shocked when he heard this, so he didn't dare to stop him again.
The old ghost asked people to put the chaise longue and spread a tiger skin on it, and then helped Wei Shuyu to help Wei Zheng up, and then covered him with a thin silk quilt.
Wei Zheng lay down and hummed comfortably, seeing that the palace was full of envy, especially Li Shimin's eyes were red, such a good thing was not for me?
Seeing Li Chengqian's eyes, he was even more angry, Li Chengqian, you are an unfilial son, you want to cooperate with Wei Zheng to be angry, right, you wait!
Wei Zheng sat comfortably and said slowly: "The old minister is about to die, and he should have died at home, but His Majesty taught the prince to belong to the old minister, and now he will resign forever, and I have come to report to Your Majesty that the prince has acted recently." ”
"The Qing family came just in time, there is a difficult matter to decide about the prince, and I will listen to the views of the Qing family.
Cui Qingjia will tell Zheng Guogong what you just said. Li Shimin has adjusted his mood and is ready to have the last showdown with Wei Zheng.
Cui Renshi said what he just said to Wei Zheng again.
After hearing this, Li Shimin said expressionlessly: "The Qing family has also heard it, and he can't argue with these things that the prince has done, how to deal with it according to the Qing family?"
A few old ministers in the front row, secretly sighed in their hearts that it would be better for the prince if Wei Zheng did not go to the palace today, just now Li Shimin obviously asked the prince to try his best to refute, and the intention of defending could not be more obvious, but this would be irrefutable, let Wei Zheng say how to deal with it.
"False accusations without evidence are not enough to be believed. Your Majesty should severely punish these people who framed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”
As soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, everyone in the hall was shocked, was such obvious partiality what Wei Zheng said?
"The Qing family is too arbitrary, if the prince is completely innocent, why should everyone say it?"
"The old minister is willing to vouch for the whole family, please ask Your Majesty to hand over the case to Dali Temple for trial!" Wei Zheng was about to stand up as he spoke.
Li Shimin was furious and asked loudly: "The matter involves the prince of the East Palace, and it is related to the generations of the Tang Dynasty, is the head of your whole family enough?"
Li Shimin was determined to teach Li Chengqian a lesson, so that he should not dare to provoke himself by relying on being a little clever.
Wei Zheng was unmoved, and said calmly: "Since Your Majesty knows that the matter involves the prince of the East Palace and is related to the Tang Dynasty, he should order someone to investigate this matter in detail.
I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be a tyrant like a tyrant at that time. ”
"Bang" Li Shimin can't listen to any history books and nonsense at this time.
"The old man is presumptuous......" Li Shimin was about to say something more ruthless, but he heard someone shouting: "Your Majesty is angry, it's all the minister's fault!" It's all the minister's fault......"
The ministers saw that Du He was kneeling in the middle of the hall, kowtowing and shouting that it was all his fault.
The people in the main hall all know in their hearts that the East Palace is going to break the tail to survive, but there is no need to break the tail to survive?
"Duhe——, do you know that if you commit a crime, I will never tolerate it!" Li Shimin's voice was so cold that it could freeze people, and the warning meaning was very obvious.
"The minister doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty, those who went to Dali Temple to complain were all found by the minister, and the minister gave them silver to falsely accuse His Royal Highness the Prince."
Baiguan sighed in his heart, this Du He actually had to bear all the blame for the prince.
No, what......
