Chapter 135: The Sword of the Heart
Du Xijun's life experience was exposed, and Xie Yi was imprisoned.
After the incident, Li Shimin was really a little upset, not only to see the progress of the investigation in Dali Temple, but also to bear the pressure from all sides to demand severe punishment.
On the one hand, he still considered the balance of the court, and he was afraid that he would move his whole body, but the suspicion in his heart could not be completely put aside.
When I returned to the dormitory, I had to face the crying of Li Zhi and my son, and after the two children learned the news, not to mention how anxious they were.
The most admired Xie Changshi, Brother Xiaoyao, and the most respected Sister Du all became suspects, and they were even imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple.
They also heard from the palace people that they might never be able to come out, or even kill their heads......
Li Zhi and his son-in-law didn't believe that they were guilty at all, and they were even more distressed and afraid, if Xie Changshi and Sister Du were ...... Just thinking about it, the two little ones were scared and cried.
Rescue is a natural idea, but they are so young that the only way to rescue them is to plead with their father.
The son of the "Father ......" is still young and will not be reasonable, but he just threw himself into Li Shimin's arms and cried, crying so that His Majesty the Heavenly Khan was distressed and not calm.
Ten-year-old Li Zhi said eloquently: "Father, if Xie Changshi and the Du family had the intention to murder, I am afraid that my son and I would have been murdered a long time ago." In several crises, they rescued each other, if it was really for revenge, as long as they didn't make a move, they would have succeeded......"
The fairy tale is unscrupulous, but it is also the most simple, and the truth is true.
If Xie Yi and Du Xijun had the intention to murder, there were really many opportunities, but they didn't do it...... Ill-intentioned? If they have to say this, what kind of scheming intentions do they have, and how big of a plan can they have?
At least for now. There is no reasonable answer.
The disposition of this matter is really a bit ......
Looking at the two children with tears on their faces, Li Shimin sighed.
……
Early the next morning. The eldest grandson Wuji was edicted to enter the palace.
In the past, when encountering tricky and difficult things, His Majesty Li Er mostly talked about it with Empress Changsun, and the husband and wife were intimate and could be outspoken.
But now that he is alone, the only one who can say a few words less hypocritically is the eldest grandson Wuji. In front of the eldest brother, at least there can be less scruples and less high-sounding. But there are few reservations.
"Your Majesty!"
"Auxiliary, have you heard all the rumors in Chang'an City?"
"I heard." The monarch and the minister talked privately. Straight to the point, the eldest grandson Wuji does not twist and turn.
"And what do you think?"
"Nonsense in the market!" The eldest grandson Wuji immediately gave his own conclusion.
Li Shimin turned around and asked, "Then who do you think spread it?" ”
Rumors will arise among the people, but they must be quickly disseminated and become the guide of public opinion. Someone must have done it on purpose.
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said, "I'm not sure who it is." But the minister thought that it should not be Xie Yi and Zheng Niangzi. ”
"How so?"
"This kind of method is too child's play, but it is suspected of coercing the king, Xie Yi and Zheng Niangzi are both smart people, they will not be so stupid." The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Before the minister entered the palace, he heard a rumor about smallpox. ”
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "What rumors?" ”
"There are rumors that smallpox is raging. It was His Majesty who made a mistake and killed Yingjie in vain. Wronged loyal and righteous people are a warning from heaven. Rao is close relationship, but when he said such a "big rebellion", the eldest grandson Wuji was still a little nervous.
"Hmph, the vain Hero Duvowe? Is the wronged Zhongliang Xie Yi? Li Shimin said coldly: "Who is so bold and spreading speculation." ”
"Your Majesty, this is the reason why the minister thinks that the rumors do not come from the mouths of Xie Zheng and the others, and spreading such rumors will only anger Your Majesty, what is the benefit?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "With Xie Yi's intelligence, how can he not understand? The person who said this rumor is not like saving people, but mending the knife, mending the knife of the heart. ”
Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said leisurely: "The pheasant slave and the son pleaded with me last night, and they cried very much. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Oh, the king of Jin and the princess have been rescued and taken care of by Xie and Du, and they must have feelings ......."
"Auxiliary, what do you think should be done with this matter? Let's be honest! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Kan Ling and Xie Yi may not be able to generalize, and they need to figure out the facts, and use people without suspicion, and do not use suspicious people; Secondly, weigh the pros and cons, after all, it affects the whole body. ”
Li Shimin said: "Xie Yi pushed everything in Dali Temple, do you believe it?" ”
"Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji hesitated slightly, and continued: "The minister thinks that this matter seems to be quite a coincidence. ”
"How?"
"A few years ago, Wei Yue was blocked by King Wu in Dongshi to tease/play Xie Du's family, and soon after he wanted to ask for a kiss, and by the way, he inquired about his origin; The minister has already checked, and the person who investigated in Huaiyang is named Zheng Bin, a child of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and he has already had a holiday with Xie Yi. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Li Chonghui went out of the city to hunt and happened to catch Kan Ling in front of Du Fuwei's grave, no matter how you look at it, it is not a coincidence; As soon as the matter came out, Wei Yue took the investigation results and reported them, one by one......"
Li Shimin also frowned, and said after a long time: "You mean, someone deliberately targeted Xie Yi?" ”
"There are signs of this."
"Who?"
"There is no real evidence, the minister does not dare to say anything, but think about Xie Yi's identity and the high hopes placed on His Majesty......"
Li Shimin's heart was shocked, the fist in his hand was already clenched tightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Auxiliary, do you think filial piety ......?"
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say anything, but it involves Du Fuwei, and Li Chonghui is in it, and the king of Hejian County can't avoid this situation."
Now Xie Yi has pushed it all away, and in turn he has avenged Du Fuwei...... Auxiliary, do you think Xie Yi has colluded with the traitor? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the minister has two considerations; First, if Xie Yi had a connection with Kan Leng, he would definitely prevent him from going to pay tribute to Du Fuwei;
Second; Xie Yi avenged Du Fuwei, but it showed that his heart was towards the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty, and only in this way could he stand in the court in a bright and bright manner. ”
Li Shimin said leisurely: "What you said is not unreasonable, if he is a traitor, what he has done this year will be unreasonable." Maybe it's just that I'm tired of Du's identity, and it's not incomprehensible that my relatives are hidden, but if I'm completely ruthless, I'm not at ease. It's just that if you want to rehabilitate Duvowe, you must ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji said cautiously: "Your Majesty, in fact, Du Fuwei was in the past...... In the first year of Zhenguan, you had a thought, but at that time, you had to rely on the military strength of the clan; And Emperor Gaozu is still there, and he has many scruples.
But now it is different from the past, Gyeonggi is safe, but Jianghuai is restless...... Although Du Fuwei has been dead for many years, the people of Jianghuai still have many remembrances in their hearts. The name of one person can win the hearts of all people, and this move ......"
"What the auxiliary machine said is very true, but in this way, don't you have to ......" Li Shimin couldn't help but hesitate a little, and said in a deep voice after a long time: "Don't worry, let Xie Yi stay in Dali Temple for a few more days, and then look at his heart and attitude;
As for the Du Fuwei case, it is good to investigate, and I also want to see the attitude of some people; Just retrial based on Xie Yi's words alone is somewhat ...... Unless there is a ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji said softly: "Your Majesty, there will always be an opportunity, and Zhongshu has been paying attention to it!" ”
