Chapter 406: The Peak Protrusion (I)
7444
Accident, absolute accident, as for whether it is an unexpected joy or an unexpected trouble, it is really difficult to say, but Li Zhen believes that this matter is very likely to be ** in this life Li Zhen and Xiao Liangdi have never intersected, let alone talk, that is, they have never even met in person, but this does not mean that Li Zhen does not understand Xiao Liangdi, in fact, in the previous life, Li Zhen had seen a lot of stories about the battle between Xiao Liangdi and Wu Meiniang, and she knew that this woman was ruthless, she was not a very good person, and she was humiliated by Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi this time, It is not surprising to make even outrageous moves, but Xiao Liangdi's vicious behavior has added a lot of variables to Li Zhen's trial work.
Although Li Shimin did not clearly state that the Donggong case must be tried by Li Zhen, since the criminal department was handed over to Li Zhen and so many favorable conditions were created for Li Zhen to investigate the case, the meaning could not be more obvious, and there was only one reason why he acted so obscurely, that is, this case was too sensitive and too complicated, and with the passage of time, many clues had been lost in turmoil, and it was not a mystery case that was easy to investigate, and it also involved the stability of the court and even the struggle for succession and the face of the royal family. No matter how prudent it is, it is a matter of course, and there is nothing to say, but the case is tried and tried, whether you can get the result and what kind of result you can get is very particular In Li Zhen's view, you can only give an explanation to the people of the world, even if the case is over, as for whether it is planted or not, it is also a matter of incomprehension, after all, time is very precious for Li Zhen, and if the case can be closed one day earlier, Li Zhen's hope of entering the East Palace will be so much, but at this time, this sudden confession is Li Zhen at the same time when he sees the opportunity to completely solve the case, and it is very likely that it will completely fall into a mess, but it can't be thought about by Li Zhen in detail, there is no doubt that the key to the matter is the dose.
Datang is very open, but it is not open to the point of selling along the street in later generations, but all those who have a system are secretly sold in the pharmacy, not to mention the small quantity, not that regular customers can't buy it if they want to, of course, the palace doctors have not less prepared such things, but they are also secretly matched with some for the emperor or the prince, it is impossible for anyone to get it easily, moreover, there is no compatibility between various **, two different ** together together, not only has no effect, On the contrary, it has great toxicity, and the ** in the bowl of ginseng soup that has been tested by many doctors and doctors is not only effective, but also its dose is so much that it is scary to death, and then considering the dose of ** added by He Dacheng, this means that one of the two things is that the person under the ** is not only He Dacheng, and second, these ** are all matched by the same recipe, and it is very likely that they are from the same place, so that just follow Xiao Liangdi's clue and go back, it is possible to find out who is matched**, It is also very likely to find out who bought the **, and after a little bit of fung, there is a great possibility that the case will be fully solved, but it is just that it is investigated, but there are two obstacles: one is the problem of time, if the case cannot be solved in a short time, it is very likely that other changes will occur, and second, that is, there is a big movement, not to mention the royal face, and it is possible to openly find out all the bullshit brothers, and this is obviously not in line with the holy will of the big case of the prince's death, Li Shimin actually did not order a thorough investigation, This makes it clear that he doesn't want to investigate publicly, and he doesn't want to kill the rest of his sons, and it is precisely because he has so many worries that Li Zhen is annoyed and has a headache.
Guan Dasong is a scapegoat, it is a smokescreen bomb deliberately pushed out by others, what Li Zhen did was actually just to extend it and put Chenghui Aya into it, of course, Li Zhen dared to do this, he had absolute certainty, and he was not afraid of any big accidents at all, without him, Aya's identity was not a secret to Li Zhen at all, as early as when Aya hooked up with Li Zhi, the rising sun had already investigated his origin When Li Zhi first came to Qizhou to supervise the government, the Shu Wangfu sent a lot of beauties to Li Zhi, Among them, there is Aya, but this woman is ostensibly a singer on the house of Li Su, the king of Shu, but in fact, it is one of the internal responses of Li Tai, the king of Wei, who is inserted in the palace of the king of Shu, Li Su has long known this, and transferred it to Li Zhi, since it is also ill-intentioned, it is basically the meaning of the disaster, this time Li Zhi was killed, Aya must have played a certain role in it, although Li Zhen has no direct and conclusive evidence to prove this, but in his heart he knows very well that this woman is not an innocent person, for the blame on it, Li Zhen owes even the slightest sense of guilt to this woman for her motive and ability to commit crimes, plus now there are many eunuchs and palace maids who identify and Guan Dasong's confession, and she is not afraid of where she can jump, besides, Li Zhen believes that Aya's identity cannot be hidden from her old man, and it is very suitable to take Aya out to do it, but there is an extra Xiao Liangdi, but it is not a big deal for Xiao Liangdi herself, but the old man Xiao standing behind him is not easy to mess with, just the personality of Comrade Xiao, Once you know that Xiao Liangdi is involved in the East Palace case, it will definitely be a lot of trouble, and the fun will be great, right?
Concealment and non-reporting? Li Zhen thought about it, but he didn't have the courage to transfer the master of the wild goose curse to investigate the case this time, so he was naturally extremely reliable, but it was hard to say whether there were nails in those prisons that were planted by the old man, if Li Zhen deliberately concealed it and did not report it, and was found out by the old man, then the problem would be serious. Seeing that the sky was already bright, Li Zhen, who had been thinking about it for a long time and had no idea, had no choice but to grit her teeth and order Chen Xuanjing to stay in this prison, but she led several guards out of the prison and hurried to the palace on horseback
At the moment, the rising sun jumped on the horizon, the soft golden light dispelled the faint mist, and the palace showered in the sunlight was resplendent with gold, but Li Shimin, who was standing in front of the windowsill of the study of the Ganlu Palace, was tired, and his eyes that had always been bright had a kind of confused haze at this time, looking out of the window fixedly, no one knew what he was thinking, and knew that the attendant eunuchs who had not slept all night in the saint were holding their breath and concentrating, and no one dared to come forward to disturb Li Shimin's contemplation. There had been no sound in the study since the night, and this eerie silence was not broken until Liu Donghe walked in.
Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yue is waiting outside the palace. Liu Donghe tiptoed behind Li Shimin, bowed down, and whispered.
Well? Li Shimin's burly body trembled, snorted, slowly turned around, glanced at Liu Donghe, frowned, and said one word in a hoarse voice: Xuan.
Be. Liu Donghe felt the heat in Li Shimin's eyes, and his heart couldn't help beating wildly, but he didn't dare to say more, he responded respectfully, and went to the palace to announce that Li Zhen was not mentioned.
The sons knocked to see their father. Soon after Liu Donghe went, Li Zhen walked into the study and respectfully saluted Li Shimin.
Flat. Li Shimin looked at Li Zhen for a long time, and then he shouted, but he didn't ask Li Zhen's intention.
Father, son-in-law went to the prison last night. Li Zhen stood up, bowed down and said.
Oh? Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he already knew the meaning of Li Zhen's words, and waved his hand and said: "Wait for all to retreat!" The attendants standing aside knew that the father and son had private things to talk about, so they didn't dare to slack off, and they each promised to retreat.
Speak. Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time, Li Shimin frowned and burst out with a word.
Father, the son really doesn't know where to start, please ask the father to know it. Li Zhen took out a stack of confessions from her sleeve and handed them to Li Shimin, but did not make any conclusive comments.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhen suspiciously, and did not continue to ask, but reached out to take the stack of confessions, slowly walked to the back of the copywriter and sat down, looking at them one by one, the more he looked at his face, the more gloomy his face became, after a long time, after all the confessions had been read, Li Shimin's face was already iron-blue, the green tendons on his forehead were jumping, a pair of eyes were sharp as knives staring at Li Zhen, gritted his teeth and asked: What do you think about this matter?
How to see? It doesn't matter how we look at it, the key is how your old man looks at it is a matter of death. As soon as he heard the old man ask the law, Li Zhen felt a little bitter in his heart, but since the old man asked, it was not good not to answer, and it was even more difficult to answer inappropriately.
Li Shimin stopped halfway through Li Zhen's words, glanced at Li Zhen, and said coldly: Well, continue talking.
The key to the matter lies in Chenghui Lin Aya, and the son implores his father to issue an edict to investigate this person thoroughly. Li Zhen deliberately did not mention Xiao Liangdi, but only said that she wanted to investigate Lin Aya thoroughly, and there were naturally hidden words in her words, that is, to show Li Zhen's attitude towards the case and put the blame on Lin Aya's head, regardless of the rest, although the meaning was vague, but Li Shimin listened very thoroughly, but Li Shimin did not comment on it, but frowned and pondered silently. This matter is very important, Li Shimin did not speak, Li Zhenzi did not dare to speak out in vain, and the study was neutral and quiet.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Shimin, who had been silent for nearly half an hour, finally raised his head, glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, and suddenly raised his voice and said: Someone is coming.
The old slave is here. Liu Donghe, who was waiting outside the door of the study, heard Li Shimin's words, and hurriedly led several little eunuchs into the room and replied respectfully.
Xuandali Temple Qing Sun Fujia pilgrimage. Li Shimin didn't even glance at Liu Donghe, he gave an expression of the order, and then closed his eyes, and didn't even give any explanation to Li Zhen next to him.
Yes, Old Slave. Although Liu Donghe didn't know what Li Shimin's father and son had talked about before, when he saw that Li Shimin's expression was not quite right at this time, his heart was beating wildly, he replied respectfully, and hurriedly retreated, and went to Dali Temple to summon Sun Fujia without mentioning it.
Sun Fujia? Which play is the old man going to sing when he is looking for the old grandson? Not only Liu Donghe was shocked, but Li Zhen was also surprised, and he couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the old man's gourd for a while, but when he saw that Li Shimin had closed his eyes, he didn't dare to say anything to disturb, so he had to continue to stand bored, waiting for Sun Fujia's arrival.
Sun Fujia, the secretary of the Dali Temple, knocked to see the saint. Liu Donghe went for more than a quarter of an hour, Sun Fujia walked into the study, as soon as he saw Li Shimin's complexion was not quite right, Sun Fujia was stunned, and hurriedly rushed forward, and asked for a big gift.
Exempt. Li Shimin didn't wait for Sun Fujia to salute, he opened his eyes, raised his hand falsely, and motioned for Sun Fujia to calm down, and then he stood up, dragging the stack of confessions in his hand, paced in front of Sun Fujia, and said as if nothing happened: I asked Er to come to preside over a case, do you dare to take responsibility?
Li Shimin's words seem very weird, at least in Sun Fujia's view, Dali Temple is a yamen that tries serious cases and important cases, as the secretary of Dali Temple, it is Sun Fujia's own job to try cases, and there are no cases that cannot be tried, but after all, Old Man Sun has been an official for many years, and he understands Li Shimin's personality, and knows that the more Li Shimin says it lightly, the more important the case will be, and then he sees that Li Zhen, the prince in charge of the criminal department, is also present, and his heart can't help but move, and he already understands which case Li Shimin is talking about, Immediately, his heart was bulging, and a sense of panic surged up, but Sun Fujia was also a tough person, but he was not worried about how serious the consequences would be if he couldn't judge this case, he raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: There is no case that the old minister dare not try.
Well, that's good, let's take a look at these confessions. Li Shimin nodded, casually handed the stack of confessions to Sun Fujia, but walked back to the copywriter and sat down.
Sun Fujia is the champion of the origin, and has been the official of Dali Temple for a long time, he is very familiar with confessions and other things, just look at it and already know it in his heart, his face is ugly when the East Palace changes Sun Fujia is in Beijing, although he is not victorious about the case, but he also knows that his internal situation is extremely complicated, it is definitely the black hand of the princes, and it will not be a mere Chenghui can do, but now these confessions are all pointed to Lin Chenghui, obviously, there must be another article here, this chief judge is not so easy to be.
Your Majesty, please. Sun Fujia didn't believe that this case would be so simple, and he didn't believe that Li Shimin would not see the strangeness, but this matter was really too important, how could Sun Fujia dare to express his position easily, and kicked the ball back to Li Shimin's feet.
The young slave is the prince, but also my beloved son, his tragic death in the hands of a traitor, I am painful to the heart, when the case is thoroughly investigated to calm the heart of the world, Sun Aiqing has been in Dali Temple for a long time, should be considerate of my difficulties, if there is nothing wrong, the case will be quickly cleared by Aiqing. A trace of gloom passed over Li Shimin's face, and he said in a calm voice.
Li Shimin's words sounded very ordinary at first, but it was only a detailed meeting, but the meaning inside was very rich, which implied that Sun Fujia's case was related to the stability of the court situation, and also related to the stability of the people's hearts, and even more related to his Li Shimin's own reputation.
Although Sun Fujia is upright by nature, he is not a person who does not know the general situation, in the face of such a major right and wrong, he will not act blindly in order to show his uprightness, otherwise, if it really leads to the result of the chaos of the court, then he Sun Fujia is only afraid that he is the great sinner of the Zhenguan Dynasty, but this case is really too sensitive and important, Sun Fujia thinks that he is powerless to support it alone, how dare he accept it straightforwardly, but in the face of Li Shimin's expectant gaze, Sun Fujia really does not dare to say anything, in this urgency, The sweat on his forehead poured out involuntarily, his face twitched, he glanced at Li Zhen suddenly, and then bowed to Li Shimin and said: Your Majesty, this case is serious, and it must be tried by the three divisions.
Er, this old grandson, he pulled Lao Tzu into the water in a good manner, what are you doing! Li Zhen originally thought that he could avoid presiding over the case, but as soon as he heard Sun Laoqi say this, he knew that he was afraid that he was duty-bound, and he didn't want to shirk it anymore, so without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, Li Zhen stood up and said: Father, since the trial of this case is presided over by the son, the minister is also responsible for the trial of the case, please ask my father for permission.
Well, it's rare that Zhen'er is loyal, but I still have other important matters for Zhen'er to handle, and Liao Chengye will come forward in the criminal department of this case. Li Shimin was very relieved to see that Li Zhen stood up and asked for his life, and nodded, but he did not agree to Li Zhen's proposal, nor did he explain more, and after a pause, he continued: Spread my will: Promote and supervise the imperial history Wan Zhongming to serve the imperial history, and participate in this case in the name of the imperial history platform.
Yes, Minister's Order. Hearing that Li Shimin made the final decision, Li Zhen and Sun Fujia did not dare to slack off, and each bowed down to receive the order.
Li Shimin didn't pay much attention to the two of them, looked sideways at Liu Donghe, the inner chamberlain who was silently standing aside, and shouted almost through gritted teeth: Liu Donghe, pass on my will: Prince Chenghui Lin Aya misbehaved, disobedient and hateful, and immediately took it, and sent him to the edict to report later, go!
Ah, yes, slaves obey! Liu Donghe was distracted, was taken aback by Li Shimin's broken drink, hurriedly stood up, and received the decree loudly, which took a few small eunuchs out of the study, and hurriedly rushed to the Chengqing Hall where the former prince Li Zhi's wife and concubine were placed. It is the place where Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen sacrificed, but after the death of the eldest grandson, Li Shimin rarely went to this palace to rest under the condition of his injuries, and the dead prince Li Zhi was originally arranged to live in this palace. This time Li Zhi died, Wei Guogong Li Jing and the inner chamberlain Liu Donghe took down all the subordinates of the East Palace, and Li Zhi's more than a dozen wives and concubines left behind together with the crown princess Wang were all under house arrest in this palace, because Li Zhi died unclear, at this time the Chengqing Palace has been one of the taboos in the palace, and the people in the palace will never easily approach this palace one step after nothing, therefore, when Liu Donghe, the head of the eunuchs, led the people to hurry to the Chengqing Palace, all the people who had intentions were immediately alarmed, and there was a panic in the harem
