Chapter 495: Above the Court
()
Does the eldest grandson Wuji really not know what this so-called "dog egg" is?
Obviously, the answer is no.
Even if he didn't know it before, but after combining what happened to Changsun Chong, with his wisdom, how could he not know the true meaning of this word?
The reason why Changsun Wuji said that he didn't know was to try to avoid the leakage of Changsun Chong's lack of "eggs", otherwise once it was known that the horse was a man without eggs, then the royal family would become a laughing stock.
If that happens, Li Shimin is very likely to let Li Lizhi remarry!
The eldest grandson Wuji doesn't want to lose Li Lizhen, the daughter-in-law, in his opinion, Li Lizhi is the "talisman" left by the eldest grandson queen to the eldest grandson's family, as long as Li Lizhen lives, the eldest grandson's family will not collapse!
Therefore, he definitely did not dare to risk losing this daughter-in-law!
And although Li Shimin felt that Eldest Sun Wuji's expression was a little strange, but at this time, he was thinking about all the clever things in his mind, so he didn't care too much about Eldest Sun Wuji, and after nodding, he continued to walk in the direction of the main hall.
The eldest grandson Wuji saw that Li Shimin did not ask, and he was also relieved, feeling that he had followed Li Shimin's footsteps.
As Li Shimin entered the main hall, it also announced the beginning of this early dynasty, the only difference was that no one stood up to speak this time, everyone kept their mouths shut, waiting for Li Shimin's mouth.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin nodded suddenly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone must already know about what happened outside the Xuanwu Gate this morning, what do you think of this matter?"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but no one spoke.
Li Shimin had already expected such a situation, he glanced left and right, and then stood up with a cold snort, his face full of anger.
"Humph! At the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, such a thing happened, what did Jin Wuwei do? What do I want you to do? Who was in charge of the Xuanwu Gate area last night? ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, a burly official immediately stood up.
"Back to the saint, yesterday it was Zuo Jin Wuwei who was in charge of outside the Xuanwu Gate, and Weichen has ordered someone to bring Liu Cheng, the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, at this time he is outside the main hall, I don't know if the saint wants to summon him in?"
As soon as his words fell, Li Shimin immediately waved impatiently.
"No need! After passing the decree, Zuo Jin Wuwei went up to the general, down to the record to join the army, all of them were dismissed from their official positions, expelled from Chang'an, and they were no longer appointed forever, and last night's street patrol Wuhou was also sent to Lingnan! ”
"Yes!"
After talking about the Wuhou patrolling the street, Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji again, and then nodded at him.
Seeing Li Shimin's movements, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately stood up, and then bowed towards him.
"Qiqi Shengshang, the old minister thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not been in Chang'an for several months in his expedition to Goguryeo, and he had not offended anyone, but now he was attacked at Xuanwu Gate in less than half a month after returning to Beijing, and Weichen thought that this matter was quite strange!"
As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji's words fell, Li Shimin deliberately showed a look of surprise.
"Oh? Zhao Guogong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
"Yes!"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji straightened up, and then showed a straight face.
"Your Majesty, as far as the old minister knows, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince established the Fanyang Salt Farm with the Lu family last year, and the Fanyang Salt Farm produced more than one million stones of salt in less than a year, which touched the interests of some people, so some people took risks......
Before the eldest grandson Wuji could finish speaking, an official in a red robe stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.
"Lord Eldest Sun's words are unfounded, Your Majesty can't be easily believed, according to what the ministers see, this matter should be investigated slowly, and there will be a day when the truth will come out!"
As soon as his words fell, several more people stood up.
"Weichen thinks what Master Li said is true!"
"Weichen seconded!"
"Weichen seconded!"
Looking at these people who stood up, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately sneered.
"Hmph, everyone said that the attack on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had nothing to do with the salt farm, or I didn't have real evidence, then I just came up with real evidence for you to see!"
As he spoke, the eldest grandson Wuji presented the blood book to Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, this is the blood book that the imperial doctor found from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the morning, judging by the degree of dried blood, this blood book has been written for more than an hour, and it is written by the person who attacked His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji really came up with real evidence, the officials who stood up before immediately closed their mouths and turned their eyes on Li Shimin.
Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Li Shimin immediately took the blood book with a calm face, and then opened it to read.
Although he had already seen it, his performance was still very good at this time.
The moment his blood book was opened, his face changed, and it was a look of shame and shock, as if he saw someone send him indecent photos and threatened to expose him if he didn't give money.
It's still the old saying, life is like a drama all about acting skills!
There is no doubt that Li Shimin's acting skills have reached the pinnacle, which made the officials who saw this scene suddenly suspicious.
What exactly is written in that blood book?
Under everyone's curious gaze, Li Shimin suddenly snorted heavily.
"Hmph, it's so deceitful!"
Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately set the kind of gaze that wanted to eat people to the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Did you find this blood book from the crown prince?"
Although the eldest grandson Wuji knew that Li Shimin was acting, looking at his fierce expression, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and he nodded quickly.
"Don't dare to deceive the saint, this blood book was indeed found from His Royal Highness the Prince, and the first person to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was Lord Zhao, he can testify!"
As soon as Eldest Sun Wuji's words fell, the official who had found Gao Ming and Eldest Sun Chong stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.
"Holy Lord, when Weichen found His Royal Highness the Prince, this blood book was on His Royal Highness the Prince's body, and the guards guarding outside the city gate at that time saw it!"
Hearing his words, Li Shimin immediately glared at the officials who had just stood up, and then snorted coldly.
"Hmph, look!"
After speaking, he threw the blood book on the ground in front of them, and when they saw this scene, several officials immediately looked at each other.
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, an official suddenly bent down and picked up the blood book on the ground, then opened it to take a look, and subconsciously read out the contents of the blood book.
"Within half a year, close the salt farm, if you don't follow, take the dog's eggs and hiss......"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but gasp for a moment, and his eyes were full of horror.
Now something big is going to happen!
