"What are you talking about, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually bought more than a dozen shops in the eastern city of Chang'an City." Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Fang Yiai.

"His Royal Highness King Yue doesn't have to doubt it, this is what I saw with my own eyes. It is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to open a large theater in the east of Chang'an City. Fang Yiai said to Li Tai with a positive expression.

"The dignified prince of the East Palace actually did business. If this king does not participate in his father's father, he will not know what the prince should do. Li Tai said with a smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, if you are just participating in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it may not have the desired effect. If His Royal Highness King Yue can get some evidence, then the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory will throw bricks and lead the jade. Defense Er said with a wicked smile on his face.

"Yes, even if my father wants to protect the crown prince, it will be difficult to calm everyone." Li Tai said with a laugh.

……

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bought a shop in the eastern city of Chang'an City, not to mention whether His Royal Highness the Prince's behavior involves competing with the people for profit."

"Just from the perspective of His Royal Highness the Prince's business life, it should not be His Royal Highness the Prince's doing. Therefore, the minister had the audacity to impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for misconduct. "Yushitai Yushi Wang Ming came out of class and said to Li Shimin.

Hearing that Wang Ming impeached the prince, Li Shimin did not feel any surprise. At this time, Li Tai, the king of Yue, also came out and said: "Father, the ministers have also heard about this matter. ”

"And as far as the son knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's way of acquiring shops is very domineering. Just drop a contract, regardless of whether people are willing to sell it or not. ”

Originally, Li Chengqian was used to being impeached by the imperial history. After all, since he came to Datang, everything he has done has been considered deviant by the people of the moment.

But Li Chengqian didn't expect Li Tai to be involved. Usually, he has nothing to do behind Li Shimin's back to make a small report, and Li Chengqian turns a blind eye.

But today, in the court, he openly impeached himself against Li Shimin. This made Li Chengqian no longer indifferent.

"Prince, I wonder if what Li Tai played is true?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin naturally knew about buying a shop to open a grand theater. But if Li Chengqian really used the power of the prince to forcibly buy a shop. Then Li Shimin will definitely not connive.

Hearing Li Shimin call his name, Li Chengqian opened his eyes, and then said: "Father, Li Tai said that his son forcibly bought the shop, I don't know if I can show evidence?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if there is no evidence in the hands of the younger brother. How dare you impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of his father. Li Tai looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"Since you have the evidence in your hands, then bring it out. The palace is not afraid of shadows, so let's confront our father and emperor today. Li Chengqian said with a smile on his face.

"Father, please allow your son to call the shopkeeper of the shop in the east of Chang'an City to the Taiji Hall to confront His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the spot." Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't want to see this scene, but Li Tai actually mentioned it in public. Li Shimin naturally couldn't refuse.

So he nodded and said, "Then bring the witnesses." ”

Hearing Li Shimin's agreement, Li Tai's face couldn't help but show a smile. Then he turned around and went down the Taiji Palace, and soon took the witness in his mouth to the Taiji Palace.

"Now that my father is here, you can tell everyone here and your father how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forcibly bought your shop, so I will tell everyone here and my father in detail." Li Tai opened his mouth and said to the man.

The shopkeeper saluted Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, the grass people are just a businessman in the eastern city of Chang'an. Survive on an ancestral shop. ”

"But just a few days ago, someone came to the grass people's shop to tell the grass people. said that His Royal Highness the Prince wanted to buy the grass people's shop, and asked the grass people to quickly pour out the shop. ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect that Li Tai really found witnesses. So he stepped forward and asked, "You said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forcibly bought your shop, but what evidence do you have?" ”

"The person sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only gave the grass people a hundred guan plus a contract. However, even if the grass people's shops are bought and sold in the private sector, they are worth at least 300 yuan. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he also took out a contract.

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, the civil and military generals present couldn't help but whisper. If what the shopkeeper said was true, Li Chengqian would at least be guilty of lax governance.

This is still a situation where Li Chengqian did not come forward, if Li Chengqian personally came forward to handle this matter. That's not a sentence that can be justified if the rule is not strict.

At this time, Li Shimin's face also became quite ugly, and he glared at Li Chengqian angrily and asked, "What else do you have to say?" Now that people can even get the contract, do you still want to deny it? ”

"Father, don't be impatient, let your sons see this contract first." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he reached out and took the contract from the shopkeeper's hand.

This contract does not seem to have the slightest flaw, and it is also stamped with the seal of the East Palace. It can be said that the evidence is absolutely ironclad.

However, Li Chengqian's face showed a smile, and then he said to Li Shimin: "Father, the son of the emperor impeached the king of Yue Li Tai to the father and the emperor for the crime of framing the son of the minister. ”

This sudden scene made the civil and military officials present couldn't help but open their mouths. They couldn't figure out why Li Chengqian had to bite back when the evidence was conclusive.

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian with a gloomy face: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, not only do you not repent, but you also frame Li Tai." You're really disappointing. ”

"Father, although you like Li Tai more than your sons. But Erchen will not falsely accuse Li Tai to his father because of this, because the matter of boiling beans and burning beans will definitely not be able to do it. ”

"Since Erchen dares to impeach Li Tai, it means that Erchen also has evidence. The father can look at this contract, and after reading it, he will know whether the son is arguing forcefully. After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he handed over the contract to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw that what was written on the contract and the seal of the East Palace were not bad at all. He looked at Li Chengqian with puzzled eyes and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with this contract?" ”

"Father, the whole contract doesn't seem to have the slightest loophole, and with the seal of the son's East Palace, it can naturally be fake."

"But this time I bought a shop in the east of Chang'an City, and all the contracts were made by Erchen. How could the contract written by the retainers not have broken sentences? Li Chengqian said.

The fact that Li Chengqian used the broken sentence symbol was naturally known to all the Chinese military officials. After all, that was the thing that once made Kong Yingda embarrassed.

So at this time, the civil and military officials began to whisper again, after all, if Li Tai really falsified evidence to frame the prince, then this crime is really not small.
