The imperial history heard about the incident and asked the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the injury of the emperor and grandson, which is right.

But this point in time was proposed, and the content of the rhetoric had already predetermined the premise that Chen Yu was the culprit, colluding with others to provoke the brotherhood of the emperor and grandson, and then causing injuries.

Openly and secretly, he also accused the Criminal Department of doing things unfavorably, and the subtext and direction of targeting were obvious, and they had absolutely bad intentions.

Li Yuan frowned: "Gao Shilian, didn't the Criminal Department quickly investigate and deal with it?" ”

"Hui Sheng, the matter is serious, and the Criminal Department thinks it should be cautious, and it is already summoning relevant personnel to collect the confessions of those present." Trouble came to the door, and Gao Shilian had to deal with it head-on.

That Yushi grabbed Bai and said: "But the Criminal Department did not immediately interrogate and tortured the main culprit Chen Yu." ”

"The criminal department investigates the case according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, has its own charter, and there are rules to be found in the trial, how can it be casually bent into a trick?"

"Oh? It's not that the criminal department has a ghost in its heart, right? ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Gao Shilian immediately glared angrily: "That Chen Yu is the sage's royal pen inscription, praised by the children of good families, the method of sacrificing fire kang to change the stove, meritorious to the country and the people, how can he be punished rashly?" ”

It was only at this time that Li Yuan realized that he was surprised: "Is that the young man?" ”

"Back to the saints, exactly."

Gao Shilian took advantage of the situation and said: "Because Chen Yu has been praised by the saint and has a good character, the minister does not dare to act rashly, so he sent the officials of the Criminal Department to inquire in detail, lest he wronged the saint and praised the promising youth." ”

"Hmm!"

The criminal department is nominally aimed at his face, and Li Yuan can't say anything.

"Inquire carefully, although he has made meritorious contributions, but if he has ill intentions, he will be unforgivable if he separates my children and grandchildren."

"Yes!"

"Sage, the minister thinks that it is inappropriate to hand over this case to the Criminal Department."

"Oh?"

"The minister heard that the son of the eldest grandson Wuji was involved in the case, and the eldest grandson's family and the Gao family are in-laws, and Gao Shangshu should avoid it."

Yu Shi chattered for a long time, and finally revealed his true purpose.

The subtext is even more vicious, completely pulling Changsun Chong and others in, which is equivalent to claiming to everyone that they are not clean in the case.

Li Shimin subconsciously clenched his fists, the other party was obviously more vicious than he imagined, and his tricks were even more overwhelming.

What's even more cruel is that Li Yuan didn't mean to stand on his side at all, on the contrary, he was more like an accomplice, constantly helping to suppress the Qin Palace.

"It makes sense."

Li Yuan nodded: "Then Qing and the others think it is appropriate to send this case to someone for interrogation?" ”

"Sage, the minister thinks that Zheng Shanguo, the secretary of Dali Temple, is familiar with the law and has always been fair, so he should be able to deal with it impartially and properly."

The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai were the most important judicial institutions in the Tang Dynasty.

The Imperial Historical Observatory is mainly responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and the other two are responsible for investigating and hearing cases. The inconvenient matters handled by the criminal department were handed over to Dali Temple, which was logical.

But Li Shimin and Gao Shilian were both panicked in their hearts, Zheng Shanguo was born in the Zheng family of Xingyang, and was the maiden in-law of the crown princess Zheng Guanyin, how could it have nothing to do with the East Palace?

Zheng Shanguo's trial, it is difficult to say what the result will be.

"Dali Temple Qing is busy, just take a general view, and the specific trial is still handed over to Dali Temple Shaoqing!" Xiao Yu once again came forward to help Qin Wangfu speak.

Dali Temple Shaoqing Dai Guan, although he is not from the Qin Palace, but he has a friendship, which can help somewhat, at least it will not make the situation worse.

The case was heard by all parties in Dali Temple, but who was responsible, the East Palace and the Qin Wangfu had their own opinions.

Defeated on the issue of military power, Li Shimin naturally did not want to let go of his mouth on this matter and let others slaughter him, so he insisted very much.

Although Li Yuan intended to suppress the second son, he was unwilling to go too far, especially in front of everyone, he had to show a situation of harmony between father and son and brothers.

Therefore, they hesitated, hesitated for a while, and when their eyes fell on several prime ministers, Pei Ju and Feng Deyi both shook their heads, unwilling to get involved.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shuda actually moved, Li Yuan was overjoyed, and asked with a smile: "What does Zicong think?" ”

"Sage, the injury of the emperor and grandson is a serious matter, but the cause and circumstances of the case are probably not so serious. The criminal department is still in the book, the waiter, the Dali Siqing, and the Shaoqing come forward, and there may not be some fuss.

On the contrary, people in the world are prone to misunderstandings, and if rumors arise because of this, it will not be good to discuss. ”

Chen Shuda is not in a hurry, the implication is that after all, it is the ugliness of the royal family, do you Li Yuan want to publicize the ugliness of the family, and the world knows it?

"What does that Zicong suggest?"

Sure enough, Li Yuan was also worried that the situation would get out of control

"Sage, the minister thinks that the investigation and trial of this case should require someone who is better than the law of criminal investigation, but it does not necessarily need to be in a high position."

Chen Shuda said: "After thinking about it, the minister did think of a suitable candidate. ”

"Who?"

"Wannian County Fa Cao Sun Fujia."

There was an uproar in the court, and Chen Shizhong, who has always been wise and self-protecting, and ignored disputes, opened his mouth, which was already surprising.

What's even more surprising is that he actually vetoed the proposal of the East Palace and the Qin Palace's Mansion at the same time, and recommended another candidate.

Is this the meaning of two not helping each other, and not offending the other?

It's just that compared with Shangshu Siqing, a county Yafa Cao seems to be too far apart, a world of difference.

But Li Yuan was moved: "I forgot him, my first champion of the Tang Dynasty, is he really suitable?" ”

That's right!

Sun Fujia was the champion of the imperial examination during the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the first champion in the history of the Chinese imperial examination.

"Hui Sheng, Sun Fujia served as the Facao in Wannian County, whether it was an investigation or a trial, it was in an orderly manner, and Wannian County's criminal law and political achievements were remarkable."

Chen Shuda said: "The minister thinks that Sun Fujia knows the law, understands the survey, and the two counties of Chang'an are close to each other, and it is difficult to distinguish each other, and he is also familiar with the people's customs and conditions, which is the most suitable." ”

"Well, that's fine!" Li Yuan was suddenly moved.

No one expected that this would be the result, the little Fa Cao is unknown, does not belong to the East Palace, and does not belong to the Qin Palace.

But this result, Qin Wangfu gladly accepted it, at least a fair trial, and they were not worried.

The East Palace naturally didn't agree, Li Jiancheng couldn't speak, and Li Yuanji rushed to say: "Chengdao and Chengqian are injured, the matter is big, just one Facao, can you find out?" Is it too rash?

The sage, Erchen thinks, it is better to let Dali Temple take over, and the general leader should review it. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi is reasonable, and the Criminal Department cannot shirk its responsibility."

To Li Yuanji's surprise, Chen Shuda did not object, and was surprised: "If it is jointly supervised by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, Sun Fujia will be responsible for the specific investigation and trial." ”

"Cheap ......"

"Gao Shangshu may need to be recused, but others in the Criminal Department don't have to, after all, that is the Criminal Department of the Tang Dynasty, not the Criminal Department of Shangshu."

Chen Shuda said in a deep voice: "Before the investigation is clear, it is better for the criminal to be detained in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

Having said this, Li Yuanji is inconvenient to be aggressive, but Li Shimin takes advantage of the situation to support it.

He was very surprised by Chen Shuda's reaction, which was somewhat of a secret help, and even made an arrangement that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder, is Chen Shuda quick thinking and temporary adaptation?

Or are you prepared and planned?

Anyway, Li Yuan agreed.

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, he finally had room for maneuver and would not be slaughtered by others.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji couldn't help but be disappointed and angry, and their ill-intentioned eyes glanced at Li Shimin and Chen Shuda.

Chen Shuda knew it, but he didn't care.

No one noticed the heaving of his chest, and the faint change in breathing.

After some hard work, Chen Yu was finally left in the prison of the Criminal Department, and under Gao Shilian's nose, at least his life was worry-free.

In this way, it can be regarded as living up to the trust.

But the next rescue was not so easy......
