Chapter 16: The Verdict Against Wei Ting

"Lang Jun! Here comes the king's chamberlain! Wang Quan led Wang Yuan to Li Chengqian.

The Inner Servant Province is the emperor's close service institution, managing the internal affairs of the court, the Northern Qi Dynasty placed the Central Servant Province, the early Sui Dynasty changed to the Inner Servant Province, and the Sui Yang Emperor changed the Inner Servant Province to the Changqiu Supervisor.

In the fourth year of Tang Wude, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan changed Changqiu Jian to the Inner Servant Supervisor, and it was only during the reign of Gaozong Li that it was also called the Inner Servant Province.

The inner chamberlain is the chief of the inner chamberlain, and the inner chamberlain province has two supervisors, from the third grade.

"Your Highness!" Wang Yuan saluted Li Chengqian.

"Why is the inner chamberlain free to come to my East Palace?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Wang Yuan is a close confidant by Li Er's side, and he never leaves an inch on weekdays, so he must have asked Li Er to send him to the East Palace, just think about it, you will know what he is here for.

"Your Highness! Everyone ordered the old slave to come and invite His Highness to go to the Liangyi Palace. Wang Yuandao.

"Oh! Good! Let's go! Li Chengqian got up and walked out with Wang Yuanchao, while Wang Quan took the first step to prepare for the step.

Li Chengqian sat on the chariot and was carried by the eunuch towards the Liangyi Hall in the inner hall.

Bu Yuan stopped outside the door of the Liangyi Palace, Li Chengqian stepped down and entered the Liangyi Hall with Wang Yuan.

As soon as I walked into the Liangyi Palace, I saw Li Er sitting on the throne, and Li Tai's little fat man on the side was holding Li Er's hand and was coquettish.

Li Er looked doting and held the little fat man's hand tightly.

On the left and right sat Li Chengqian's uncle, Sun Wuji, the chief of the court, and Xuanling, who was known as the Fang Mou.

Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, Ma Zhou, the imperial historian, Chu Suiliang, the Chinese secretary, Yang Shidao, and Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali.

Even Li Tai's cronies, the governor of the Wei Palace, and Du Chuke, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, were among them.

"See Father!" Li Chengqian first saluted Li Er, and then greeted the ministers present.

"I've seen the prince!" The ministers hurriedly got up and saluted Li Chengqian.

"Gao Ming is here! Throne! Li Er instructed the chamberlain to bring a chair to Li Chengqian.

"Clever! I called you this time because of your assassination case, the main culprit Wei Ting has been imprisoned, Wei Ting pleaded not guilty, and my brother (the self-proclaimed name of the father to the son in the Tang Dynasty) wants to hear your opinion. ”

"What do you think should be done in this case?" Li Erdao.

Li Chengqian did not give a direct answer after hearing this, and if he really wanted to follow Li Chengqian's thoughts, he would naturally try the case to the end.

It's best to involve the fat little four and get the fat little four down together, so that he Li Chengqian can sit back and relax.

However, listening to Li Er's tone, it was obvious that he planned to end up with Wei Ting, after all, Fat Si was Li Er's sweetheart, and Li Er naturally didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Fat Si.

All the blame was caused by Wei Ting, and it had nothing to do with his fat little four.

If Li Chengqian does not give up, his image in Li Er's heart will plummet, and the little goodwill he has just established will be gone.

What's more important is that if Li Er thinks that he, Li Chengqian, may be unfavorable to Li Tai in the future.

It is very likely that in order to protect Li Tai, he will be abolished and let Li Zhi be the prince, then he Li Chengqian will be a tragedy.

"Father! Erchen didn't know much about this case, so it was difficult to make judgments. Li Chengqian kicked the ball back to Li Er again.

Li Er is so good, how could he not understand Li Chengqian's purpose.

"Dali Siqing, you come to explain the case to the prince." Li Er looked at Sun Fujia and said.

"No!" Sun Fujia got up and came to the middle, first saluted Li Er on the throne, and then saluted Li Chengqian: "Your Highness! After the trial between me and the princes here, it has been determined that the assassination of His Royal Highness was committed by Wei Ting, which ......"

After listening to what Sun Fujia said about the case, Li Chengqian can be sure that the mastermind behind the assassination of him this time is very likely to be Li Tai, even if it is not Li Tai, it must have something to do with him.

However, judging from Li Er's attitude, he didn't want Li Tai to be involved at all, so what should be said next was the most important matter.

Since there is no way to overthrow Li Tai, why not retreat and simply help Li Tai, so as to make Li Er happy, and maybe increase his position in Li Er's heart.

"Father! Just after listening to what Dali Qing said, Erchen thought that Wei Ting was doing this alone, and ...... had nothing to do with Qingque. ”

Li Chengqian said a lot of things, all of which meant that Zheng Wei Ting was the mastermind behind the scenes, and he had nothing to do with the fat little four Li Tai.

Even, the fat little four Li Tai is just a victim in it, everything is done by Wei Ting alone, and Li Chengqian has created an innocent image of Li Tai.

Since you can't bring down Li Tai, let's kill Wei Ting first.

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Li Er was already in tears, what did he want to see most?

Isn't it just that I hope that the child born to him and Guanyin can get along in harmony, and that Li Chengqian's brothers can be brothers, friends, and brothers.

Now that Li Chengqian is so sensible, how can he not make him happy.

Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji stood on the spot, they thought that Li Chengqian would take the opportunity to fall into the well.

But they didn't expect that Li Chengqian would actually excuse Li Tai, if they hadn't already understood Li Chengqian, maybe they would have been persuaded by Li Chengqian.

Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, and Li Tai didn't believe that Li Chengqian would have such a good intention, and he didn't know what evil intentions were hidden in his stomach.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others glanced at each other and looked at Li Chengqian, and they actually knew the truth of advancing as retreating.

After a long time, Li Er secretly touched a handful of tears, and the eldest grandson Wuji and others pretended not to see it.

"Gao Ming's words are reasonable! The whole case was done by Wei Ting alone, Wei Ting, as an important minister of the imperial court, did such a rebellious thing. ”

"To do such a thing, according to the law, he should be beheaded, and even the nine clans, reading him can be regarded as having done his best for the court for many years, and it can be regarded as an outstanding meritorious service, I can't bear to kill him."

"Zhongshu Province Zhongshu ordered Yang Shidao to draft an edict, confiscating Wei Ting's family property, Wei Ting and the men in the family were all exiled to Xiangzhou, and Wei Ting's female dependents were not enslaved in the court." Li Er announced the disposition of Wei Ting on the spot.

Li Er also knew in his heart that Wei Ting was doing this so that his family's Qingque'er could succeed!

Now that Li Chengqian doesn't dig deeper, in order to keep Li Tai, he has to wronged Wei Ting's family, which can be regarded as giving Li Chengqian, the prince, an explanation.

Dealing with it like this, there is also the meaning of beating Li Tai and the people around Li Tai, hoping that Li Tai can take this as a warning and not cause any more incidents.

As for the grievances between their brothers, he will naturally find a way to resolve them, and no matter what, he will not repeat the mistakes of the Xuanwumen in the past.

"Edict!" Yang Shidao stood up and answered.

On the same day, Wei Ting and the men in his family were exiled to Xiangzhou to fill the army, and the female dependents of the family were punished and confiscated to the court as slaves.
