Chapter 426: The Matter Is Revealed

After three consecutive days of sleeplessness, no food or drink, and repeated questioning, Su Gan Chengji's spirit almost collapsed.

At first, he was able to hold on and not answer the jailers. And those jailers were not allowed to punish him because of Zhang Yunwen's instructions, so they had to keep repeating those questions. Of course, those questions were all written down by Zhang Yunwen on paper, which made people not need to think too much and could answer them in one bite.

This kind of repeated mental torture and physical torture finally made Su Gan Chengji unable to endure it, and finally confessed.

He confessed very thoroughly. Since that time when Li Chengqian sent Fugan Chengji to assassinate Yu Zhining, and Sugan Chengji did not make a move, Li Chengqian gradually alienated Sugan Chengji. At this time, a person named Zhang Shizheng took the initiative to take refuge in the East Palace, and in the contest with Su Gan Chengji, he was slightly better. As a result, this Zhang Shizheng became Li Chengqian's new favorite, and he became even more indifferent to Su Gan Chengji.

Su Gan Chengji is also extremely depressed about this.

Under such circumstances, in the first month of the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, Li You, who came to Chang'an, sent an invitation to Sugan Chengji, who was in distress, and gave a large amount of property. After receiving these belongings, Su Gan Chengji was also hesitant in his heart, and he did not refuse, but kept in touch with Li You.

After Li You's rebellion, these letters were found.

In addition to his relationship with Li You, he also explained the specific matters of the assassination of the King of Wei that day and the two major events of the prince's rebellion.

Therefore, when these jailers listened to Su Gan Chengji's slow and blank expression, they looked at each other and couldn't help but feel cold. What this Gan Chengji explained was such a major event. Before dawn, the jailer rushed out of the criminal department, ran to Liu Dewei's house, and reported the matter to him.

When Liu Dewei heard about this incident, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly came to the interrogation room of the Criminal Department and re-watched the interrogation process.

When Liu Dewei saw this different interrogation method, he was surprised, and when he saw Su Gan Chengji's somewhat wooden face and the appearance when he was gobbling up food, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Zhang Yunwen is really a master of torture, and he can even think of this torture method.

After reconfirming Su Gan Chengji's words, Liu Dewei asked him to sign his name under the confession and press his handprint. When Gunan Chengji, who was half-eaten and partially regained his mental state, saw this confession, he couldn't help but look like ashes. After a moment of silence, he finally wrote his name on it and pressed his handprint.

When Dewei Lau walked out with this confession, he met Zhang Yunwen.

This Andy Lau rolled his eyes, pulled him to a secluded place, and handed the confession in his hand to Zhang Yunwen. Looking at the situation, it is clear that he also wants to pull Zhang Yunwen off this troubled water.

Zhang Yunwen read this confession, and immediately knew what Liu Dewei meant, and after a moment of silence, Zhang Yunwen said: "Liu Shangshu, I can go with you to see Your Majesty, but if this testimony alone is not enough, I am afraid that it is not enough, and it is necessary to let Na Gan Chengji come forward as a witness, so that it can be regarded as foolproof!" ”

Liu Dewei nodded, deeply agreed.

So the two returned to the Criminal Department, preparing to see Na Gan Chengji again and persuade him to come out and testify.

I thought it would be a little difficult, but the persuasion process was very simple. When Liu Dewei explained his intentions, Su Gan Chengji agreed with a sip of wine. Of course, he also put forward the condition that he would spare his life.

For this condition, Dewei Lau agreed to it in one bite.

So, Zhang Yunwen and Liu Dewei took Su Gan Chengji to the palace.

Due to the importance of this matter, Liu Dewei specially transferred five good men from the Criminal Department to put Su Gan Chengji in the middle. And Zhang Yunwen is also on guard against that dry Chengji at any time.

Fortunately, along the way, this Gan Chengji did not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, and the group arrived at the palace smoothly.

At this time, the court meeting had already begun. Zhang Yunwen and Liu Dewei did not come to the court meeting, although Li Shimin was puzzled, he knew that they must have something big. When Dewei Lau and Zhang Yunwen appeared in front of Li Shimin together, Li Shimin smiled: "Two Aiqing, if you wait for the court meeting, there must be something important!" ”

"Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and we have encountered a big event!" That Liu Dewei couldn't laugh, and said with a serious face.

Seeing Liu Dewei's serious expression, Li Shimin knew that this matter was not trivial, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?" ”

Liu Dewei glanced at Zhang Yunwen, and saw that the latter clearly indicated what he said, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen interrogated that Gan Chengji and learned that the prince wanted to rebel!" ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Dewei almost didn't dare to look at Li Shimin's eyes. Just hanging your head.

However, there was no imaginary sound of smashing cups and lifting the table, only a faint atmosphere of sadness permeating the hall.

Liu Dewei raised his head, only to see Li Shimin walking to the window at some point, and at this moment he was raising his head and looking at the sky, and the back of the dragon robe looked a little lonely.

"Does Cheng Qian also want to rebel? Since he is the crown prince, how can he rebel? ”； Li Shimin said lightly.

Liu Dewei hurriedly handed over the confession in his hand: "Your Majesty, please look, this is a confession!" As for Na Gan Chengji, Weichen also brought him to the palace! ”

Li Shimin turned around, and Liu Dewei hurriedly handed over the confession in his hand.

Li Shimin picked up this thin piece of paper, as if he had a thousand catties, and his hands trembled slightly. Finally, he let out a long sigh, threw the confession on the desk, and his face was solemn: "Liu Aiqing, since that Gan Chengji brought it, let him come up, I want to ask him a few questions!" ”

When he said this, Li Shimin's words were filled with a hint of coldness, and his eyes were blazing, but he recovered from the somewhat sad state just now.

Seeing that Li Shimin could get rid of his emotions so quickly, Zhang Yunwen was also deeply admired, and immediately said: "I'm tired of Your Majesty waiting, Weichen will bring that person up!" ”

As he spoke, he exited the hall in two steps, and soon brought Nagan Chengji into the hall.

As soon as he saw Li Shimin, Su Gan Chengji honestly knelt on the ground.

After his salute, Li Shimin asked coldly: "Su Gan Chengji, let me ask you, the prince wants to rebel, but is it true?" ”

When he said this, Li Shimin's eyes were firmly fixed on Su Gan Chengji. The aura cultivated by being in the top position for a long time made Su Gan Chengji feel a panic, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Return, back to Your Majesty's words, this matter is true!" Su Gan Chengji swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and replied astringently.

Li Shimin's face became gloomy: "You are a close minister of the prince, you must know a lot, come, tell me the reasons for the prince's rebellion and the people involved!" Remember, don't let it go! ”

Su Gan Chengji had no choice but to slowly tell Li Chengqian about being instigated by Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang and others, and finally breaking the blood oath from beginning to end. In the meantime, Li Shimin interjected halfway and asked a few questions, and Su Gan Chengji answered obediently.

After Su Gan Chengji finished answering, Li Shimin still had a cold face: "Hmph, I didn't expect that Hou Junji and that Li Yuanchang would dare to instigate the prince to rebel, I really ate the courage of an ambitious leopard!" Okay, Su Gan Chengji, you go down first! I said that I would spare your life, and I will naturally spare you, but after this matter is over, when the grassland, Lingnan and the Western Regions are over, choose a place to go! ”

When Su Gan Chengji heard this, his face couldn't help but show a slight joy.

After Li Shimin said this, he no longer cared about Su Gan Chengji, but said to Zhang Yunwen: "Yunwen, you go to Beiya immediately, mobilize the Yulin Army and the Jin Wuwei Army to blockade Chang'an City, and arrest Hou Junji and Li Anyan!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a fish talisman from his bosom. Zhang Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward to take the fish talisman. With this thing, he can transfer troops.

"Liu Aiqing, you immediately take a hundred horsemen into the East Palace, invite the prince out of the East Palace, and temporarily settle in the Left Leader Mansion!" Li Shimin said slowly, his tone resolute and unquestionable.

Liu Dewei clenched his fists and took the fish talisman from Li Shimin's hand.

"Alright, you guys go down and do things first!" Li Shimin waved his hand and asked Zhang Yunwen and Liu Dewei to go out.

As for Nagan Chengji, he was also taken away and will be taken back to the prison of the Criminal Department.

On that day, the situation in Chang'an City changed drastically, and countless stubborn soldiers poured out of the barracks, rushed to a place, and brought a famous civil and military general out of the house, leaving a group of wives and children to cry the sky and grab the ground.

And the lord of the East Palace was also invited by Liu Dewei to lead the hundred horsemen to the Left Leader Mansion.

For a time, people in Chang'an City were panicked. People are speculating about what happened to Chang'an today?

The next day, the people finally found out.

At the court meeting, Li Shimin announced with a cold face that the prince wanted to rebel, and then named them one by one, and told the conspirators with the prince one by one. Only then did the ministers suddenly realize that the officials who were arrested were not complicit in the crown prince?

Although Li Chengqian is now imprisoned in the Left Military Mansion, and the rest of the conspirators are also temporarily detained, this matter still needs to be further examined to know the whole story, so Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Xiao Yu, and Li Shiqian jointly tried Li Chengqian's rebellion with Dali Temple, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province.
