Chapter 53 Brother Prince, tragedy
Changle's big charming eyes revealed doubts, and he didn't believe that Ailang would bend his waist for money, but he didn't understand why Ailang said this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Du He also did not say clearly that today's situation was not so much that Li Chengqian wanted to sue him, but that he deliberately burned a fire in Li Chengqian's heart and forced Li Chengqian to sue him in front of Li Shimin.
If Li Chengqian does not have the intention to make things difficult with him, everything will be fine, and once he is embarrassed, he will ask for his own hardships.
Li Chengqian didn't understand, his heart was full of anger, it was difficult to control himself, he couldn't imagine that Du He was so disgraced by him, he personally came to the door and asked for a transaction, in his opinion, it was already a sign of weakness, but Du He's-for-tat actions did not take him as a prince in his eyes at all.
He only knew that Du He was not, and he didn't notice it at all, and he slapped the table again, and his sneering demeanor was simply a posture of looking for trouble. He can only see how the other party is, but he can't detect the inappropriateness and excesses of his own behavior.
"Okay, you Duhe, I don't believe it. With the evidence of this fact, my father will still favor you, and I really dare not sue you......"
His steps were getting faster and faster, and his mind was full of thoughts about suing Du He and rectifying his thoughts, but in a moment, when he came to the palace, he inquired about Li Shimin's location from the palace maids. Today, Li Shimin is accompanying Empress Sun in the Lizheng Palace.
When Li Chengqian heard the news, he was overjoyed in his heart, with Empress Changsun by his side, the probability of suing Du He would be greater, and he hurried straight to the Lizheng Palace.
In the Lizheng Palace, Li Shimin had been unhappy because of the assassination accident at the banquet, and the assassin disappeared without a trace, which made people even more irritable, but under the persuasion and comfort of Empress Changsun, he had improved slightly. Although he was young, the empathetic princess of Jinyang's little son was also comforted by the old-fashioned on the side, which made Li Shimin laugh and his mood was a lot better.
Before Li Chengqian arrived, he was chatting with the eldest grandson queen and the little son in the hall of the Lizheng Palace, and the family of three was happy.
Hearing Li Chengqian's request to see, Li Shimin didn't feel much displeasure, although he never caught Gongsun Yeyue, but he expressed his understanding, even Du He had no news, and he was at a loss, Li Chengqian was here, he naturally didn't have much hope, nodded and let him go in to ask for peace.
Li Chengqian's character is not good, but he is still quite filial to his parents, he asks for peace every day and never falls behind, and Li Shimin doesn't think much about it.
Li Chengqian came to bow to him, and he couldn't wait to tell him about Du He, how he was greedy, how he manipulated the Wu family, and sought personal gain. Complaints, there will inevitably be some exaggerations and untruths in the words.
Li Shimin's originally smiling face, after listening to Li Chengqian's words, became extremely terrifying in an instant, gloomy, and his eyes were so cold that people felt cold in their hearts. He first asked the eldest grandson queen to carry the little son down, so as not to frighten the child.
Empress Changsun didn't know her husband anymore, she knew that something was wrong, and asked the palace maid to take the little son away, but she didn't leave, but just looked at the father and son with some concern, and reminded: "Qian'er, He'er is an upright person, and she is not greedy for money, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ā
When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin's change of color, he thought he was angry with Du He, and hurriedly said: "Erchen didn't believe it before, but the facts are there, but I can't tolerate Erchen not doubting it." He took out the evidence that he thought he had rectified Duhe, and stepped forward to offer it with both hands.
Li Shimin stretched out his hand to take the booklet, and without looking at it, he directly separated the booklet in half, tore the booklet along the paste line, and then folded it in half, tearing it into four or eight parts...... Little by little, it was torn, and in a short time, the evidence had become countless pieces of paper.
Li Chengqian was stupid, and he knew that the situation was not good at Li Shimin's disappointed and sad eyes, but he didn't know what was wrong, "Father, you ......"
"Shut up! You still have the face to be called the Emperor of the United Father?! You really disappointed me, so disappointed......" Li Shimin twitched the corners of his mouth, threw a handful of scraps of paper on Li Chengqian's face, slapped him with his backhand, and threw it over, with a crisp sound of "pop", the crown of the prince's head was crooked, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot.
Li Chengqian was stunned.
Empress Eldest Sun also changed color in shock, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, why bother beating the child!" ā
"The prince is like this, what else can I say?" Li Shimin gritted his teeth, panting, and his eyes were almost as wide as a bull's eye.
Li Chengqian's face was full of incomprehension and grievances, and he didn't slap out: "Father, what did the child do?" You are so partial to Duhe, who is your son......"
"You ......" Li Shimin was even more angry, and raised his palms, but he couldn't beat Li Chengqian's appearance.
"Qian'er, shut up, don't be rude!" Empress Eldest Sun pulled Li Shimin with one hand and angrily slammed at Li Chengqian, and she was the most difficult of the three.
"Good! Good! Li Shimin put down his hand and said tremblingly: "I will leave you with nothing to say today...... Everything you sued Duhe, I don't believe a word here. The so-called 'evidence', I don't even bother to look at it! ā
He suppressed his anger and said slowly: "Back then, King Xi and I were fighting, and he took advantage of the change of power to detain some of the money left by the tyrant Yang Guang and hide them in one place. There is such a person, by accident, he found this treasure. There are countless treasures, totaling 52,800 taels of gold and 172,800 taels of silver cakes, which is more than the sum of all the taxes collected in the three years of our dynasty, and more than three times the surplus money of our Datang treasury. In the face of this huge amount of treasure, the discoverer did not take a penny and handed it over to the imperial court. I asked him why that's so. He replied, 'A gentleman loves money, and takes it in a proper way.' These money were ill-gotten gains that Yang Guang had taken from the people at the beginning, and they were used for the people'. This man is the Duhe you are accusing. Du He doesn't even care about the treasures at his fingertips, and he treats money like dung here. How can they do illegal and taboo things for the sake of money? ā
Because of the existence of Duhe, the great movement of Datang has been continuous in recent years, and many guidelines and policies have been implemented and changed, all of which are indispensable for the support of huge amounts of money.
The 52,800 taels of gold and 172,800 taels of silver cakes invited by Du He are particularly important, and without this huge amount of money obtained by accident, many of Datang's policies would not be able to be implemented.
Li Shimin didn't say anything about this, but he felt it deeply, and Du He's contribution to the gold saved Datang from the pain of several years of development.
Li Chengqian sued something bad, he had to sue Du He for greed for money.
All the assets of the entire martial arts family combined were less than 172,800 taels of silver cakes, not to mention the huge 52,800 taels of gold.
Li Chengqian's accusation was completely self-inflicted.
Listening to Li Shimin's explanation, Li Chengqian was stunned and had nothing to say.
