In a bedroom in the Chengqing Palace, the prince Chenghui Lin Aya, who was dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, stood silently in front of the windowsill, a pair of good-looking willow eyebrows wrinkled gently, looking at the small garden outside the window with a blank expression, his eyes were empty and trance-like, his slender and tall body was slightly rickety, and a sad breath lingered around him.

"Chenghui Niangniang, Gonggong Liu is here, you ......" Just as Lin Aya was meditating, a palace maid ran in in a panic and hurriedly reported it, but before the palace maid finished speaking, a rush of footsteps sounded, and Liu Donghe, the inner eunuch, had already led several little eunuchs into the room quickly, and the palace maid stopped talking in a panic and retreated to the side at a loss. Lin Aya heard the movement behind her, her body trembled slightly, turned around a little stiffly, and looked at Liu Donghe and the others silently, with a look of compassion on her face.

"The emperor has an edict here, please ask the prince to accept the decree of Lin Aya!" Liu Donghe glanced at Lin Aya with complicated eyes, and shouted in a long tone.

Lin Aya didn't answer, but slowly knelt on the ground, the expression on her face was extremely complicated, both sad and frightened, as well as a little bit of re-release and a little bit of happiness.

"The emperor's edict: Prince Chenghui Lin Aya misbehaved, disobedient and hateful, and was immediately driven out of the palace!" Liu Donghe glanced at Lin Aya and finished announcing his will in a procrastinating tone.

"The concubine is grateful." Lin Aya's face darkened, but she didn't say anything to ask what happened, and respectfully kowtowed according to the rules and thanked her.

"Take it!" Liu Donghe obviously didn't expect Lin Aya to react so indifferently, he was stunned for a moment, and then he waved his hand and gave an order, and several little eunuchs around him immediately rushed up, held Lin Aya hostage, pushed and walked out of the room, hurried out of the palace all the way, stuffed into a carriage, and rushed to Dali Temple......

"Your Majesty, the matter has been settled." Liu Donghe led people to send Lin Aya to the edict prison of Dali Temple, and hurried back to the study of Ganlu Hall to report to Li Shimin, who was waiting in the room.

"Hmm." Li Shimin snorted noncommittally, frowned, and indifferently ordered: "Xuanzhongshu ordered Xiao Yu to come to see him immediately." ”

"Yes, slave and maid." As soon as he heard that Li Shimin was going to announce Xiao Yu, Liu Donghe's heart was suddenly shocked, but he didn't dare to say more, bowed down and answered, and then withdrew from the study with his head down, his eyes never looked at Li Zhen and Sun Fujia, who were also shocked.

What did the old man call Lao Xiao to do at this time? Could it be that Lao Xiao Tou also wanted to play a role in this matter? It's not enough, just Lao Xiao's big mouth, if he really participated in the trial, he wouldn't have seen the hell until something happened, damn, what kind of demon moth did the old man do? Although Li Zhenren is silent, his heart is turbulent, and he has many doubts - according to Li Zhen's thoughts, since the prior interrogation work was done by himself, the chief judge should also be done by himself, but the old man let Sun Fujia do it, of course, from the function of Dali Temple, it makes sense for Sun Fujia to be the chief judge, but the position of the deputy judge did not leave one for himself, which is a little weird, this is not counted, even the old Xiao Tou's naïve boldness is involved, If there is no wonder how Li Zhen is willing to believe it, but he can't see through what the old man is thinking about for a while, which really makes Li Zhen feel like he is falling into the clouds, but Li Zhen's city is deep, but he doesn't have a special reaction, just silently hanging down, secretly pondering Li Shimin's possible thoughts.

"Old minister Xiao Yu see Your Majesty." As soon as he walked into the study, seeing that Li Zhen and Sun Fujia were there, Xiao Yu's face immediately flashed a trace of suspicion, but he didn't dare to ask, strode forward and gave Li Shimin a salute.

"Excuse me." Li Shimin said in a flat tone, picked up a few pieces of paper from the copy, stretched out his hand, and said to Xiao Yu who was full of doubts: "I have some very interesting things here, I specially invite Xiao Aiqing to appreciate them, so let's take a good look." ”

"Your Honor." Xiao Yu didn't understand what Li Shimin was trying to do, but it was not easy to ask, he bowed down and took a few steps forward, took the pieces of paper with both hands, and looked at them carefully.

Aha, I see, hey, the old man is really good! Li Zhen recognized that those confessions were recorded by the people around Xiao Liangdi, and her heart moved, she had already completely figured out Li Shimin's calculations, and secretly admired the old man's clever methods, and at the same time mourned for the official career of Comrade Xiao for three minutes.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's family education is not strict, and it is really the fault of the old minister to disobey the descendants here, the old minister, the old minister is to blame for his death, the old minister deserves ten thousand deaths, and the crime deserves ten thousand deaths...... "Although Xiao Yu is a big mouth, he is an out-and-out righteous person, he did not shirk this matter has nothing to do with him, but fell to the ground and asked for the guilt, of course, even if Xiao Yu wants to completely get rid of the crime, it is impossible - according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Liangdi's move can be said to be poisoning and murdering the prince, but it is a crime of great rebellion, as the head of the Xiao family, It is impossible for Xiao Yu to stay out of the matter, it is inevitable to be implicated, but according to this confession, it is completely Xiao Liangdi's own foolishness, Xiao Yu doesn't know it, if you want to defend it, you can actually make a big call, even if it is useless, it can reduce the punishment for the Xiao family, but the old Comrade Xiao has no intention of doing so, and simply confesses his guilt completely, which can be regarded as a gentleman's frank behavior.

"Father, the son thinks that this matter is Xiao Liangdi's evil deeds, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Zhongshu, and the son implores his father to know it." Li Zhen, who had already guessed Li Shimin's thoughts, would not let go of such an opportunity to be a good person, as soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, Li Zhen immediately stood up and reported loudly.

Xiao Yu didn't expect Li Zhen to come forward to intercede for herself, and glanced at Li Zhen gratefully, but she didn't accept Li Zhen's kindness, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, the old minister is willing to be punished, and let His Majesty dispose of it, and the old minister has no objection." ”

Looking at Xiao Yu's bright hair and the look of resolute determination on his face, Li Shimin also rolled in his heart for a while-at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty Gaozu Li Yuan was afraid of Li Shimin's eloquence and strategy, and regarded Li Shimin as the biggest threat to the throne. Not to mention Li Shimin's henchman, after Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Change, he once gave him a banner of "The Wind Knows the Grass, and the Board Knows the Chengchen" to show his favor, if he changes others, he may hang up this banner and hype it up, but Xiao Yu did not do so, he never showed this banner, but sealed this banner, and even did not look at it, which shows his uprightness, furthermore, Xiao Yu was born noble, and he has been a prime minister for many years, but he never used power for personal gain, and his life was very simple. is definitely a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, of course, the only problem is his incomparably large mouth.

Li Shimin's heart softened, sighed, and said slowly: "Shiwen (Xiao Yu's words), if I remember correctly, you are already seventy years old this year, Sage Yun: Life is rare for seventy years, I am very old, I really can't bear to sin, so I will go home to recuperate, as for Xiao Liangdi, a snake and scorpion, I dare not stay, and I will take you home together, and see that it is done." ”

Xiao Yu didn't expect such a major event to fall so lightly - Li Shimin's words have been made very clear, he Xiao Yu resigned and went into hiding, and disposed of Xiao Liangdi by himself, the matter can be regarded as exposed, and Li Shimin will not let this matter be publicized, in this way, the face of the Xiao family is saved, and the result of this punishment is naturally much lighter than Xiao Yu himself imagined, although some people feel sad that they are old and unsafe, but the matter has come to this point, this is already the emperor's grace, and the old Xiao Tou does not dare to ask for more, Then he kowtowed respectfully, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is shengming, and the old minister is grateful to the lord Longen." ”

"That's it, Liu Donghe, let's accompany Xiao Aiqing to get someone." Although Li Shimin didn't like Xiao Yu's overly upright personality, the friendship between monarchs and ministers for decades was still quite deep, and when he saw Xiao Yu crying gloomily, he was also quite sad, waved his hand, and signaled Xiao Yu to retreat.

"Father, the son thinks that even if Xiao Zhongshu is wrong, he should not be punished so heavily, and Xiao Zhongshu is an upright and honest official, and he is an example for the courtiers, and the son begs his father to be gracious." Li Zhen knew that Li Shimin would not completely abolish Lao Xiaotou's official position just now, this was just a means of showing gratitude, and it wouldn't be long before Lao Xiaotou would be reinstated.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, but did not speak, but Xiao Yu himself saluted Li Zhen and said: "Thank you for the kindness of Your Highness, the old man is a guilty person, and he is too old to be driven, and let the old man retire." As soon as the words fell, he didn't give Li Zhen a chance to speak again, saluted respectfully to Li Shimin, and withdrew from the study with staggering steps, and Liu Donghe led a group of small eunuchs to expel Xiao Liangdi without mentioning it.

"Zhen'er, since Xiao Zhongshu is suing the old man, the Xiangzhou case will be tried by you, and you have to be well tried to understand it, don't do it in vain, can you do it?" After Xiao Yu and the others exited the study, Li Shimin was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Your son's honor, you must do your best to do it!" Li Zhen already knew in his heart the intentions of Li Shimin's move, and he just wanted to use the Xiangzhou military rations case as a cover to divert the attention of the people of the world, so as to cover for the trial of the Donggong mystery case.

"Well, that's good." Li Shimin nodded and said: "Sun Aiqing, I have entrusted the case of the East Palace to Yuer, I hope that Er can treat it well, and I will not fail to live up to my hopes." ”

Sun Fujia was feeling the misfortune of Xiao Yu's encounter, and his heart was very chaotic - Sun Fujia is also known for his straightforwardness and daring to admonish, although he has no personal relationship with Comrade Xiao, but he is quite sympathetic, and now he sees that Lao Xiao's head is being pushed to the end, he can't help but feel a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and when his thoughts are chaotic, he suddenly heard Li Shimin speak, and he hurriedly restrained the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will do his best." ”

"Hmm." Li Shimin replied, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, just retreat." Since the old man issued the eviction order, Li Zhen and Sun Fujia didn't dare to stay longer, so they bowed down and retired, and went back to the yamen on their own without mentioning it......

June 21, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, is destined to become a noisy day - from the time of the day, one after another edicts came out of the inner court, one after another shocking news appeared, first Li Shimin issued an edict tomorrow's early dynasty postponed to the 25th, and then the Chinese book ordered Xiao Yu to resign, and then the emperor ordered Li Zhen, the king of Yue, to preside over the Xiangzhou military food case, and during the period there were countless gossip, saying everything - some legends say that the reason why Xiao Yu resigned was because of the struggle for power with Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and was plotted by Li Zhen, Some say that Xiao Yu resigned because his granddaughter Xiao Liangdi was involved in the case of Li Zhiheng's death, and some said that Xiao Liangdi had been put on death row, and the Xiao family would be raided, etc., there were no surprises, and there was a lot of noise among the government and the opposition.

The courtiers can discuss it, that's because the relationship between such news and themselves is not big, and the discussion is on it, one is to show the attitude of caring about current affairs, and the second is to have a pastime after tea and dinner, and it is not bad to find some time to go to the king of Yue, Li Zhen, to sit down, and to show loyalty is also a good thing, but for those forces hidden in the shadows, things are not so simple, they are busy guessing what the emperor's intentions are, and there are many people who have a headache for this, this is not, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was so anxious that it was past noon, but Li Tai had no intention of eating, and was like an ant on a hot pot in the study, even if he was sweating because of this, he couldn't take care of it.

I can't complain that Li Tai is anxious - although the dynamics in the palace are hidden, there is no secret for Li Tai, although he doesn't know what his Lao Tzu and Li Zhen talked about secretly, and he doesn't know why Comrade Lao Xiao suddenly resigned, but he knows that the prince Chenghui Lin Aya has been imprisoned, and he understands that whether it is Lao Xiaotou's resignation or Lin Aya's imprisonment, it is all Li Zhen's tossed out, Li Tai doesn't care about Lao Xiaotou's forced resignation at all, but for Lin Aya's sudden imprisonment, Li Tai couldn't sleep and eat, without him, Lin Aya was a trump card in Li Tai's hand - No. 5!

Although Lin Aya's identity is hidden, Li Tai knows that this matter will never be hidden from Li Zhen's ears and eyes, and he has long known that Li Zhen will find out Lin Aya's head sooner or later, but Li Tai didn't expect Li Zhen to act so quickly, and he didn't expect that his own son would listen to Li Zhen's "slander", which made Li Tai very unprepared. Sooner or later, it will be transferred to his Li Tai's head, and at that time, let alone say anything about entering the East Palace, it is difficult to say whether he can save his own life, Li Youke, the king of Qi, is a lesson from the past, but he can't help Li Tai is not panicked - as soon as he got the accurate news, Li Tai didn't even care about it, and directly sent someone to the household department to find Su Miao to enter the mansion to discuss, but before and after he had sent three groups of people to invite, but it was already past noon, but he still didn't see Su Miaozhi's arrival, how could Li Tai stabilize his position?

"Your Highness, the old man is a step late, so His Highness has been waiting for a long time." Just when Li Tai was so anxious to scold his mother, Su Miao, who was covered in sweat, finally arrived.

"Ah, uncle, you can be regarded as coming, this thing came too suddenly, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang's heart is in turmoil, uncle quickly help Xiao Wang get an idea." As soon as he saw that Su Miao was finally here, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly rushed forward, and shouted in a hurry.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be anxious, a certain has already been arranged, and he will never let King Yue go." Su Miao didn't care about Li Tai's anxious look, smiled, looked confident, and comforted him.

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? Uncle, please come, so that Xiao Wang can have a good number in his heart. Li Tai trusted Su Miao's wisdom, and when he saw Su Miao's relaxation at this time, he calmed down a little, waved his hand, and let Su Miao to the chair in the corner, and then hurriedly asked.

Su Miao smiled and said: "Yesterday a certain has said, this is the secret crossing of Chen Cang of His Royal Highness King Yue, the timing of its launch is really beyond the old man's expectations, this time Xiao Zhongshu resigned and went into hiding, Xiao Liangdi was demoted out of the palace and Lin Chenghui was imprisoned all from last night King Yue's night visit to the prison, his intention is just to close the case as soon as possible, but what is the mystery at all, and now Lin Chenghui is in prison, His Royal Highness the King Yue is only afraid that he is playing the crown to celebrate, but unfortunately he is happy too early, a certain has arranged manpower, tonight can be seen! ”

"Huh?" Li Tai was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately came to his senses, his face turned pale, and he said with a hint of trembling: "Uncle, this, this, this won't be a mess, right?" ”

Su Miao's face was solemn, and he replied in a resolute tone: "Your Highness, rest assured, although the old man does not dare to say that he is completely sure, but there are still seven or eight points, and the current plan has not been broken to have a glimmer of life, if this matter fails, the old man admits it!" ”

"Alas......" Li Tai sighed long, and said with a wry smile: "Well, since my uncle has arranged to stop, let's go and do it, if it doesn't work out, Xiao Wang will take care of it." ”
