Chapter 358: Imperial Trial

Chang'an West City, Piff Pavilion.

Li Yuanba led a group of princes, who were drinking and eating with Cheng Chubi and Qin Huaiyu, and Cheng Chubi also felt very strange about the crazy Shenwu Gate outside Chang'an City today.

"Lord Wang, do we have a mission for Shenwuwei today? Do you want me to go back to the defense? Cheng Chubi held a glass of water and wine and asked Li Yuanba, who was sitting on the main seat.

Li Yuanba waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we have enough soldiers in the camp!" ”

"Today this is ......" Cheng Chubi wanted to say something, but at this time, Qin Huaiyu pulled him and shook his head slightly.

Maybe for them, the magnates of the Tang Dynasty, they have always pursued the style of doing things that are better than less, but today's matter involves Shenwuwei, even if Qin Huaiyu is obstructed, Cheng Chubi has to inquire.

"It's okay to sue you!" Li Yuanba glanced at Qin Huaiyu with a smile, and when he looked at the latter embarrassed, he said: "Today, the soldiers of Zuo Wuwei arrested a high-ranking member of the Taiyuan Wang clan at the gate of Chang'an City, and he explained that he came to Chang'an City this time to connect with Yan Jingyi, the shopkeeper of Yonghe pawnshop. According to the king's information, more than half of the shops in Chang'an City have some relationship with Yan Jingyi, which is ...... And you will see ......."

"Collusion with five surnames and seven hopes?" Cheng Chubi was stunned, "I remember Yonghe Pawnshop, when they opened, my father once took me there." ”

"I didn't expect that little old man, who always seemed kind, would do such a thing, and he really died by himself!" Qin Huaiyu also seemed to have some impressions of Yonghe Pawnshop, and when he heard Li Yuanba's words, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"But!"

Qin Huaiyu is more than Cheng in the end. The sensitivity of governance is much stronger, he lowered his head and sighed for a while, suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Yuanba and said: "Lord, more than half of the shops in Chang'an City have been banned, I'm afraid those princes and ministers in the court and the imperial historians will not sit idly by, right?" ”

Li Yuanba hasn't spoken yet. Instead, Li Su snorted coldly and said, "Whoever jumps out means that whoever is in a nest with these rebellious and rebellious rebels!" They won't sit idly by, and we're worried that there's no reason to get them out! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Li Yuanba shook his head and did not speak.

Although Li Yuanba didn't think about his follow-up when he decided to 'mess around' at the beginning, when he caught the four high-level people of the Xuanzi number, he had already begun to think about all the situations he would encounter in the future.

Twenty years ago, Li Yuanba gave people the impression that he was careless about doing things. The little devil who likes to do nonsense, so fortunately, this time I borrowed this name to use it!

Just when everyone was full of wine and food, and the conversation was getting stronger, the arrival of one person broke the situation.

"Childe, princes, a soldier of the Shenwu Guard is here with Gonggong Liu in the palace!"

Cheng Yan pushed the door and walked in, and said respectfully.

"Grandpa Liu, what are you doing here?" Cheng Chubi said he was very puzzled.

"What should come will come!" Li Yuanba drank all the wine in one gulp, and said to Cheng Yan: "Go and call Liu Sanshui in!" ”

"Yes. Rajah! ”

Cheng Yan finally understood, and his emotional father-in-law Liu came to find King Wu.

In fact, if you think about it, Liu Sanshui is a celebrity in front of the saint, and their master is not here. Liu Sanshui doesn't need to come here, their son-in-law? Not qualified yet!

After a few breaths, Liu Sanshui walked in behind Cheng Yan.

When he entered the chamber, he saw that the master had reached this point. When he was able to sit still, he secretly praised in his heart and said:

"The prince is the prince. If ordinary people did such a big thing, I am afraid that they would have been panicked a long time ago, but this is as stable as Mount Tai, worthy of being the god of war of the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Slave Liu Sanshui, I have seen His Royal Highness King Wu, His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have seen all the princes and princesses!"

Liu Sanshui still carried out cumbersome etiquette, without the slightest displeasure on his face.

Li Yuanba saw Liu Sanshui and nodded slightly, and said, "Did the imperial brother call you?" ”

Liu Sanshui lowered his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty ordered the slave maid to come to invite you and His Royal Highness King Yue to the Liangyi Palace. A large wave of kings and nobles led by Li Changshan, the Duke of Shanping, and some imperial historians and officials have made a break to impeach you and His Royal Highness the King of Yue for privately transferring the armies of the guards, conniving at the army to blockade the shops in Chang'an City, and killing the merchants and ordinary people......"

"What?" Before Liu Sanshui finished speaking, the round body of Li Tai, the king of Yue, stood up and said, "How unreasonable!" The reason why I am waiting for this act is to arrest the chaotic party, is it possible that all those guys in the DPRK are chaotic parties? ”

"Qingque, don't be impatient!" Li Yuanba glanced at Li Tai and said, "Listen to Liu Sanshui's words!" ”

"It's my nephew!" Li Tai realized that he was a little impulsive at this moment, and hurriedly confessed to Li Yuanba.

Liu Sanshui glanced at Li Tai and continued: "Your Majesty has decided to conduct a royal trial at the time of tomorrow's court meeting, and it will be observed by hundreds of civil and military officials. There are still a few hours before tomorrow's court meeting, and His Majesty specially ordered the slaves and maids to come and pick up the two princes into the palace! ”

"Let's go, pheasant!" Li Yuanba stood up and said, "I believe that your father still has a lot of things to ask us!" ”

Li Tai's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, originally this matter had nothing to do with him with a copper plate, but because this damn Baihualou had half of his shares, he was stunned and pulled him in, it was really fucking unlucky.

Compared with Li Tai, Li Chengqian and the others are not worried, because they have been with Li Yuanba for a long time, and they know that their imperial uncle will never do something that they are not sure of, and I am afraid that many people will be unlucky in this matter.

A large group of princes and princesses, following Liu Sanshui, entered the palace in a mighty way.

And the news that the Tang Emperor was going to judge the prince above the court spread very quickly.

Even in Chang'an City, which was about to be late at night, it spread all over Chang'an City in just one hour.

For a while, there was a commotion in the mansion of the hundred officials, and the hundred officials talked about it, and many people felt that His Royal Highness King Wu was too crazy this time, and this kind of action was tantamount to forcing the merchants of the Tang Dynasty into a corner; There are also people who think that His Royal Highness King Wu must be justified in doing this, otherwise it would never be so.

Just when this incident caused a storm in the city, some rumors with bad intentions also came out...... Soon, with the help of well-intentioned people, this matter began to spread outside Chang'an City, shaking the world!

……

At the end of the hour, near the end of the day, the morning bell had already sounded in Chang'an City.

Because today is the imperial trial of the dynasty, all the civil and military officials in Chang'an City have to come to participate in the court meeting.

In fact, at three o'clock in the morning, there were already many people outside the palace gate, and they were all waiting for the morning bell to ring, waiting for the opening of the palace gate.

Among these people, most of them are those who have returned to the field and become rich at home, and the princes, marquises, and earls who have interests linked to the shops under the name of Xuanzihao, they can't wait for Li Yuanba to die, after all, this matter has made their early investment useless, and now it can be said that they have lost all their money.

It doesn't matter if you are a royal prince or not, as long as you invade. If you violate our interests, even if you are the crown prince, we can pull you down!

After the morning bell rang, the palace door was wide open, and several little eunuchs wearing navy blue eunuch costumes hurriedly ran out with a guide lamp, looking at the official hat in front of him that was so black and oppressive, almost impossible to see at a glance, a small eunuch led by him said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty has a purpose, please enter the palace and marquis."

The little eunuch's voice landed, and suddenly the whole crowd became quiet, and everyone followed closely behind these little eunuchs into the palace.

Taiji Palace Taiji Hall, there have already been people here, the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Shu Li Ke, the king of Liang Li Su, the king of Tan Li Yun, and even the king of Han Li Zhen, these princes who are close to Li Yuanba, I don't know when they came.

Although they were somewhat surprised by their arrival, the rest of the civil and military officials still stood in separate shifts under the arrangement of the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others.

Immediately afterwards, not long after, Li Shimin appeared on the Taiji Hall, sat on the high dragon chair, turned his head to look at Liu Sanshui, Li Shimin said: "Where are King Wu and King Yue?" ”

Outside the main hall, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, but it was Li Yuanba and Li Tai who came from outside the main hall, waited to walk to the hall, and saluted:

"The younger brother Li Yuanba, the son Li Tai has seen His Majesty (father)."

Li Shimin glanced at the two of them and said, "Flat!" Where is Yang Zixi of Dali Temple? ”

"Wechen is here!" Yang Zixi, who was dressed in court clothes, hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin bowed slightly, and said: "Yesterday, you must have known everything, what is the specific reason, you can talk about it for all Aiqing." ”

"Obey Your Majesty's will!"

Yesterday, Yang Zixi suddenly received a secret letter from the palace, tomorrow when the court meeting, the sage will ask Yang Zixi to come out and explain the case, the details are all in the secret letter, so what Yang Zixi wants now is to read it according to the script:

"Yesterday, the soldiers guarding the gate in the east city of Chang'an City caught a high-ranking member of the Taiyuan Wang clan in front of the door! According to his own confession, he came to Chang'an this time to meet a long history in the palace of His Royal Highness King Wu, named Wang Jun......"

As soon as he said this, Li Changshan suddenly jumped out, he questioned Yang Zixi, and said, "Lord Yang, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with yesterday, right?" Why do you say this? ”

Yang Zixi glanced at Li Changshan's old face, and then continued as if he hadn't seen him: "If you can't see this Wang Jun, the high-ranking person of the Taiyuan Wang family will go to the Yonghe pawnshop in Changle Fang, where the shopkeeper Yan Jingyi will arrange his future trip to Chang'an!"
