East Palace.

The news about Cui Yuanhao quickly spread to the East Palace.

When Li Jiancheng heard that Cui Yuanhao had been killed and Qin Tian was safe and sound, he immediately angrily smashed the teacup in his hand towards the spy.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, useless things......" Li Jiancheng scolded, he wondered, Qin Tian went to the meeting alone, why couldn't Cui Yuanhao kill him?

What's even more infuriating is that the person didn't succeed, but he himself died.

Li Jiancheng has never seen such a waste person, and his existence is simply a shameful thing.

The spy shrunk his neck in fright, and cast a look at Song Gongqing for help, Song Gongqing's expression was calm, and said: "Lord Wang, it's useless to be angry with the spy, this matter is a foregone conclusion, it's better to think of a favorable way." ”

Li Jiancheng was angry, but he still waved his hand to let the spies go down, and after the spies were pardoned, he was overjoyed and hurriedly retreated. ”

"Cui Yuanhao was killed, Cui Tong is bound to refuse to give up, but his son kidnapped Lu Huaniang first, I am afraid that the Cui family's life is not good now, King Qin wants to win over the family, why not need His Royal Highness the Prince? In the past, the family had a big shelf and was not easy to win over, but now the Cui family is in trouble, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may wish to show favor to the Cui family. ”

After hearing Song Gongqing's words, the crown prince Li Jiancheng pondered for a while, and then got up and rushed to the palace.

When Li Jiancheng came to the palace, Li Shimin and the others had not come back yet, but probably after tea, Cui Tong rushed over with a hurried expression and a sad face.

"Holy Lord, ......"

Li Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Cui Aiqing, why is this?" ”

Cui Tong said: "Shengshang, the minister just got the news, Xiao'er because of Lu Huaniang and Qin Tianding's marriage, resentment in his heart, kidnapped Lu Huaniang, after the minister heard about it, he was very angry, and he came to ask the saint for guilt." ”

Hearing that the person who kidnapped Lu Huaniang was Cui Yuanhao, Li Yuan was taken aback, and then he looked at Cui Tong, and he smiled in his heart at Cui Tong's words.

What his own son did, he wouldn't know?

This matter has almost started in Chang'an City, and when he came at this time, he clearly noticed that something was wrong and wanted to do it first.

Li Yuan was very disdainful in his heart, this was a great opportunity to bring down the Cui family, how could he let it go?

Immediately, Li Yuan suddenly said angrily: "Bold, your Cui family has no king's law, you actually kidnap people at will, and you want to trick Qin Tian to kill him, are you guilty?" ”

Cui Tong said: "The lesson of the saint is that although this is the act of the dog, I, as a father, can't shirk my responsibility, please punish the saint." ”

Although Cui Tong said this, he put all the charges on Cui Yuanhao, Li Yuan frowned slightly, although this matter is very serious, but according to the law, it is impossible to sit together.

If he is angry with the Cui family, he is unreasonable, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, it still can't move the foundation of the Cui family.

Li Yuan was unhappy in his heart, although he had an advantage in this game, he couldn't help the Cui family.

But the more this is the case, the more Li Yuan refuses to give up.

Just as Li Yuan was about to angrily reprimand Cui Tong, a eunuch hurriedly ran over: "Holy Lord, Chen Guards and Qin Tian are back. ”

Hearing that Qin Tian was back, Li Yuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Pass!" ”

Not long after, Chen Jian, Qin Tian, Lu Xing, and Li Shimin came to the imperial study, and after they came in, Chen Jian reported the situation to Li Yuan, which naturally included Cui Yuanhao's suicide in fear of crime.

And when Jian Chen said this, Cui Tong suddenly shouted: "My son's life is hard......"

After shouting, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and then the whole person looked haggard, although he was ready to push everything on his son, but when he heard that his son was killed and said to have committed suicide in fear of crime, Cui Tong still couldn't accept it.

His heart ached like a pinprick at this time, and he couldn't bear the pain.

However, although Cui Tong has become like this, Lu Xing is not relentless at all, and said: "Shengshang, the Cui family harms my daughter like this, and I hope that Shengshang will make decisions for my daughter." ”

Li Yuan nodded, if someone is looking for trouble with the Cui family, if someone is looking for it, he can punish the Cui family obediently.

But as soon as Li Yuan nodded, Cui Tong shouted again: "Holy Lord, my son is dead, my son is dead, what else is there to punish, people die and everything will be destroyed." ”

Lu Xing pursed his lips: "He deserves it." ”

Lu Xing refused to give up, but Li Shimin and Qin Tian were silent at this time, this matter was a matter for the two major families, they just had to watch from the side.

With their understanding of Li Yuan and seizing the opportunity, he will definitely not spare the Cui family easily.

Li Jiancheng stood aside and didn't speak, he did have plans to favor the Cui family, but he would not make a move until Cui Tong was in an absolute predicament.

Since you want to be gracious, you must do it when the other party is desperate, otherwise even if you have kindness, you will not be high or thick, and you will not be valued.

Lu Xing was aggressive and refused to give up, Cui Tong was at a loss, so he could only sympathize, but which one present was willing to sympathize with him?

After a few words, Li Yuan shouted: "Your son made a mistake, he died innocently, it is useless to quibble, as his father, you have no way to teach your son, and it is also a mistake, I want to remove you from the post of head of the household department and send it to Luoyang." ”

Li Yuan is not ruthless, but the means are also wonderful, the reason why the family is strong is because there are many scholars and many positions in the court, and if you want to attack them and transfer them from Chang'an, it is undoubtedly a good way.

After Cui Tong heard this, he suddenly broke his heart and left Chang'an City, which also represents the decline of their Cui family, and once a family gives signs of decline, it will be calculated and trampled on at any time, after all, the process of growing up in a family is accompanied by suppressing other people and using other people's blood.

They have many enemies, and these enemies are watching the decline of their Cui family with wide eyes.

Cui Tong crawled to the ground, tears flowed down his face, and he felt remorse in his heart, Li Jiancheng saw this and knew that the time had come.

So he stood up and said: "Father, the law of the Tang Dynasty has always been known to the world for its fairness and strictness, and the one who made the mistake was Cui Yuanhao, not Cui Tong, even if he had a godson and no way, but deposing the capital Chang'an, it was too harsh, if the world knew, I was afraid that I would criticize my royal law. ”

Li Jiancheng's words are conclusive, and there is nothing to scrutinize, even a person like Li Shimin can't find anything wrong, because what Li Jiancheng said is right, Cui Yuanhao's crime really can't be called a joint sitting.

If Lu Huaniang is a royal princess, then the Cui family may be connected, but Lu Huaniang is just a daughter of a family, not to this point.

After speaking, Li Jiancheng looked up at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan's expression moved slightly.
