Chapter 121: Mowgli, you can go with peace of mind!
The appearance of Empress Eldest Sun made Li Shimin's heart tremble, and he trembled faintly with anger, wanting to lose his temper, but in the end he endured it.
"Send the queen back to the palace, she is not allowed to come out without my permission!" The angry Li Shimin roared angrily at his subordinates in the distance.
Just when he was upset, Empress Changsun, who had always been considered a safe haven, actually stood up to cause trouble, and it seems that when something happens to his family, he is the most just person, and he will lose his mind.
Several subordinates supported Empress Changsun and walked in the direction of the Lizheng Palace, not daring to slack off.
Li Shimin waved his hand, turned around and walked into the prison of Dali Temple, and Dai Guan's small heart raised his throat and hurriedly followed.
The environment in the cell is a little gloomy, the air is damp enough to mold, people can't help but cover their noses, huge wooden stakes form a small cell, a tube, a piece of straw, this is all the facilities of the Dali Temple cell.
No windows, no tables and chairs.
In the central aisle lay several braziers, the only source of light in the cell, as a blazing fire emitted a faint glow.
The barrel smells of feces, and in winter, the condition is slightly better, and if it is summer, absolutely no one wants to enter here.
The prisoners shivered one by one, their cloaks curled up together, and there was no hope in their eyes.
The eldest grandson Wuji is not as miserable as the other prisoners, even if he came here, Dai Zhou did not treat him like a normal criminal.
There was a lot more thatch on the floor than in other cells, and there were enough clothes to keep out the cold, and a white garment for the prison was put on the outside.
The whole body curled up together, crouching in the corner and crying bitterly.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a sour nostrils, and almost shed two lines of tears.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... The minister didn't rebel! The minister really didn't rebel! As if sensing the abnormality, the eldest grandson Wuji looked up and saw that Li Shimin, who was also not very energetic, was standing outside the cell, hurriedly crawling to the closest place to Li Shimin, kneeling on the ground and shouting loudly.
Li Shimin can come to see himself, it must be that things are still turning around, although he is desperate, but the eldest grandson Wuji still did not give up, "It's the King of Qi, it must be the King of Qi who framed the minister, he has that ability, Your Majesty, you know." ”
"What? At this time, do you still want to quibble in front of me? Li Shimin sniffed vigorously, making himself look a little majestic.
"The minister has grown up with His Majesty since he was a child, and has assisted His Majesty for many years. In front of outsiders, the minister may lie, but over the years, the minister has ever lied in front of His Majesty? Eldest Sun Wuji continued to explain.
"That's good! Let me ask you, where did you get those weapons in your house? I personally went to your house, personally ordered someone to dig it up, and personally inspected it one by one, but what I saw was all fake? Li Shimin's old face turned sideways and said sharply.
The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless, and the ghost knew what those weapons were about, and the explanation was not clear, even if he was full of mouths, it was impossible to explain clearly.
Li Shimin continued: "Yes, the King of Qi does have the ability to frame him, but I really can't think of how the King of Qi transported those weapons to your mansion, and did it without hiding from hundreds of people in your entire mansion? ”
"This ......" Eldest Sun Wuji's face was full of fear, if he knew, the matter would not have come to this point, "The minister is really wronged......"
"Wronged or not, what you say doesn't count!" Li Shimin suddenly stepped forward and said heavily: "You disappointed me too much!" I treat you like a brother, but you want to replace me! Eldest grandson Wuji, eldest grandson Wuji, you are too conceited, and you always feel that there seems to be nothing in this world that can stump you, so you want to pull everyone into the water, you ...... Damn it! ”
Li Shimin is not brainless, and the madness and messiness on the surface does not mean that he has collapsed.
Li Yuanji is not a good stubble, Li Shimin can be very sure of this, even if he has behaved like a good baby in the past few months, Li Shimin has not lowered his vigilance against Li Yuanji, but has become higher and higher.
The case of the eldest grandson Wuji's rebellion, saying that he has nothing to do with Li Yuanji, Li Shimin absolutely does not believe it, because judging from his previous performance, Li Yuanji definitely has the ability to understand that the eldest grandson Wuji wants to rebel.
In this case, in Li Shimin's view, the only thing Li Yuanji could do was to publicize the rebellion of the eldest grandson Wuji.
In other words, what caused such a big sensation, Eldest Sun Wuji may not really know, but those weapons are definitely hidden by Eldest Sun Wuji.
It is impossible for Li Yuanji to know the appearance and code of those weapons, in order to expand the situation, Li Shimin asked people to mark the weapons with marks similar to numbers, which will never be seen if you don't look carefully, but those who know can see the truth at a glance.
None of the weapons had the same number, and the ones that were lost were all taken by the prisoners.
Even if the King of Qi has his hands and eyes to the sky, he will never know these specific codes, and he does not have the opportunity to recreate so many weapons.
Looking at Li Shimin's reaction, the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to understand something, and the whole person instantly shrank into a ball like a deflated ball, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old, and the vicissitudes of life on his face made people feel pity uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows that the minister's immortality is not enough to level the world, but this matter is really not done by the minister, the minister has never had the heart of not being a minister, and there is nothing to be disrespectful. The minister can settle the world with death, but I implore Your Majesty to leave a trace of blood for the minister! The eldest grandson Wuji fell to his knees, his head buckled heavily on the hard and cold ground, and two lines of clear tears fell to the ground.
Having said this, the eldest grandson Wuji still refused to admit it, and Li Shimin laughed helplessly in his heart.
That's it! That's it! Don't admit it! The result is the same anyway, so what's the use of admitting it or not?
Hate to hate, but Li Shimin still feels great regret for this, thinking of the close cooperation between the two in the past, and the relationship between siblings, when he really wants to make this decision, his heart will ache like a knife.
"Auxiliary, auxiliary, you were too careless, and let the fourth find out your handle! And the tricks you have been using against the fourth child these days, he has endured it all the time. Li Shimin turned around, couldn't bear to look at the expression of the eldest grandson Wuji next, and continued: "Before, the fourth child asked me if he wanted you and my uncle, and he wanted to personally interrogate the two of you and pry out the secret of that thing from the two of you. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shivered violently, he had no big enmity with Li Yuanji, but after the Xuanwu Gate, in order to protect his uncle Gao Shilian, the eldest grandson Wuji chose to stand on his uncle's side, and the two tried every means to kill Li Yuanji.
But the result was not satisfactory, the eldest grandson Wuji miscalculated from the beginning, he thought that there would be many ministers to support them, but in fact there were few responders, and there were few opponents, but most people chose silence, but this silence made the eldest grandson Wuji feel that he seemed to be expelled by everyone.
King Qi asked the two of them by name to pry something out of the mouths of the two of them, this is the nonsense flying all over the sky, and its real purpose is to take revenge on the past.
The matter is definitely related to King Qi, and it is definitely Li Yuanji who exposed this matter, and Li Yuanji definitely knows what it is that caused such a big movement? This is his confidence, when he saw those physical evidence, everyone believed Li Yuanji's words, at least they also believed that they were going to rebel.
But only he knows, the rebellion does not exist at all, why did those weapons appear in his own house, who knows?
The matter has come out, and the cover can't be covered, and now I'm afraid that Chang'an knows that the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian are going to rebel, and Li Shimin can't protect them, and there is no reason to protect them.
Continuing to clasp his head, his demeanor recovered a lot, and he said to the effect: "The minister is willing to die for the Tang Dynasty in exchange for that secret, and serve His Majesty for the last time!" ”
"When the queen found out about this, she was very sad and begged me to order that even her should be imprisoned, but I knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, and you helped me persuade her. The eldest grandson is still young, and I will arrange a home for him. Li Shimin, who turned his back, was a little unbearable.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am willing to solve your Majesty's worries!"
"I will give him half a month, if he doesn't give me a satisfactory explanation after half a month, I will let him accompany you." Li Shimin was ruthless and said.
Leaving the prison of Dali Temple, Li Shimin walked aimlessly in the palace, feeling more and more that he was very boring as an emperor.
First of all, he wants to spoil the family, and he wants to do a good job in the relationship between the ministers, and Li Yuanji, the scourge, everyone is trying to force themselves to make some decisions that they don't want to make, but they don't have any measures to deal with it except for holding grudges.
It's not that I don't want to refuse, but I can't refuse, even if I know that I will regret it, but I still have to make this decision.
The last words were purely said because of the decades of relationship between the two, but in any case, the fact that the eldest grandson Wuji rebelled existed, which made Li Shimin feel frustrated, and even the people closest to him wanted to rebel, it seems that I, the emperor, is really a failure......
Li Shimin, who was frustrated, gradually fell into a dead end, sometimes frowning, sometimes kicking stones, and the frightened nearby guards could only follow from a distance.
A guard ran quickly from the direction of the East Palace, saw Li Shimin's figure, and saw that the guard wanted to stop him, so he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Oh no! Queen She ......"
