Chapter 547: Falling into a Trap
Liu Wenjing violently broke free of the clamps, stood upright, and glared at Pei Lian: "I am not a prisoner, I am the founder of the country." Pei Lian, you don't hold chicken feathers as an arrow, Your Majesty ordered you to inquire about the truth, not for you to torture to extract a confession. ”
"Huh, huh?" Pei Lin smiled mockingly, looking at Liu Wenjing's eyes full of contempt: "The wizard has confessed, you ordered him to change his luck in order to achieve great things."
"Your concubine has also confessed, you have long been dissatisfied with Your Majesty, and you do have the intention of rebellion......"
"Spray your dog feces."
Seeing Pei Lian's contemptuous gaze, Liu Wenjing was particularly angry, and immediately interrupted Pei Lian's words rudely: "Lao Tzu sits upright and behaves upright, if there is no rebellion, there is no rebellion."
"Which villain dares to frame Lao Tzu and ask him to come out and confront Lao Tzu."
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, Liu Wenjing was very polite to her colleagues every day, but today she frequently used obscenities, and her temper was much more irritable than before......
"Do you dare to say that you are not dissatisfied with Your Majesty in your heart? Didn't you lose your temper in the house and cut the pillar with a knife? Pei Lin asked.
Hearing the last sentence, Liu Wenjing was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "The cheap maid who eats inside and outside actually tells outsiders about the things in my house......"
"You admit to it?" Pei Lin grasped the key to his words and immediately interrupted him.
Liu Wenjing snorted coldly: "I cut down the pillars of my own mansion, what are you doing?" ”
Idiot.
Pei Lin scolded in his heart, and continued to induce him in his mouth: "Since you admit to having this matter, it means that you do often lose your temper in the mansion and are dissatisfied with Your Majesty......"
Liu Wenjing interrupted Pei Lian's words: "When did I say that I was dissatisfied with Your Majesty, I just saw that you were not pleasing to the eye and scolded you a few words......"
Pei Lin cut off Liu Wenjing's words again: "Why are you scolding me? Am you dissatisfied that I have been promoted? ”
"That's right, I'm just not happy with you. Why should I be deposed and executed if I am defeated, and you will only stay in prison for a few days if you are defeated? After coming out, not only was he not dismissed, but he was also promoted, why should you? Liu Wenjing's face was full of resentment.
Pei Lian's heart was filled with joy, and he still said with a serious face: "My official title is His Majesty's personal title, and if you are dissatisfied with me, you are dissatisfied with Your Majesty."
"If a courtier makes a mistake, His Majesty should be punished, and as for the severity of the punishment, His Majesty has his own considerations in his heart, and we must not speculate.
"It was your fault that you were punished for your defeat at the beginning, and you should reflect on it, instead of blaming Your Majesty......"
Hearing this, Liu Wenjing's anger became even stronger: "What's wrong with me? Why should I introspect? Winning and losing is a common thing in soldiers, and if I lose this time, I will win it back next time.
"It's the same lost battle, why don't I execute you?"
The more Liu Wenjing spoke, the more angry she became, and she vented the resentment in her heart: "You Pei Lin can be under me, the original plan for big things was a plan I made first, and you just made some money."
"Jinyang raised troops, I am Sima, you are Changshi, and your status is equal.
"After the founding of the country, I went to the east and the west, and my family had no shelter, but you were alone in the holy grace, enjoying glory and wealth, and living in peace.
"You have done nothing, but you are an official servant, I have opened up territory for Your Majesty, but the official rank and reward are far inferior to yours, and I am dissatisfied with this......"
Hearing this, a hint of success flashed in Pei Lian's eyes, and he finally waited for this moment.
He immediately slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Your Majesty has always been fair, and the rewards are based on merit, but you yourself are greedy but blame Your Majesty for injustice, which is really disloyal and unjust." ”
"Come on, pull him down, and wait for him to fall."
The official immediately stepped forward, grabbed Liu Wenjing and dragged him out.
Liu Wenjing was furious, scolding while struggling: "Pei Lian, you villain, you can't die well......"
Pei Lin glanced at the door lightly, and then said to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Shangshu, you also heard what Liu Wenjing said just now, he does have the intention of rebellion. ”
"Pei Fu shot this, Xiao didn't dare to agree, but Xiao will report today's events to His Majesty." Xiao Yu said.
Pei Lin smiled and didn't care.
These people have no idea what His Majesty wants.
......
Li Yuan took Liu Wenjing's confession to the court and circulated it to the officials.
He said angrily: "Look at what Liu Wenjing said, he is clearly dissatisfied with Gu and has the intention of rebellion. ”
Others were still circulating, and Xiao Yu saw it with his own eyes, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu is indeed dissatisfied, but he has no intention of rebelling. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liu Shangshu has no intention of rebellion." Li Gang had already finished reading the confession and immediately expressed his opinion.
Then, several more ministers stood up to speak for Liu Wenjing.
Seeing this, Pei Lin snorted heavily and said to everyone: "Liu Wenjing said it himself, and he is dissatisfied with His Majesty's decision. What is so strange about rebellion if you are dissatisfied?
Besides, the wizard and his concubine had already confessed, and Liu Wenjing often lost his temper in the mansion to express his dissatisfaction, and even used weapons.
"All of this shows that he has long been rebellious......
"Pei Fu's words are wrong." Li Shimin immediately interrupted Pei Lian's words, he said: "At the beginning of the army, it was Liu Shangshu who made a big plan first, and then told Pei Fu to shoot.
"The two of you are both founding heroes, but after pacifying Chang'an, there was a huge disparity in the status of Liu Shangshu and Pei Fujiao. Therefore, Liu Shangshu was dissatisfied, but he did not have the intention of rebellion. ”
After the words fell, Li Shimin turned to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu's rebellion is a false accusation by a villain, and the villain should be punished, and the loyal ministers must not be wronged." ”
Li Yuan hesitated, he looked at Li Jiancheng: "Prince, what do you think?" ”
Hearing the roll call, Li Jiancheng came out of the list and said slowly: "The minister thinks that the evidence in this case is conclusive, and Liu Wenjing really has the intention of rebellion, so he should not be tolerated, and should be severely punished to set an example." ”
Seeing that Li Yuan's expression changed after listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Li Shimin said before Li Yuan could speak: "Your Majesty, the wizard and the Gao brothers and sisters have the intention to make false accusations, and their confessions cannot be counted.
"If you want them to tell the truth, they should be tortured and questioned, and the minister suggests that they be tortured and the case should be investigated thoroughly."
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly: "Does King Qin want to bend and make a move?" ”
"Of course not." Li Shimin immediately denied: "It's just that they don't suffer a little and won't tell the truth." ”
"Really?" Li Jiancheng said lightly: "I think what they are saying now is the truth, you use torture to persecute, and what you get is a false confession." ”
"You ......" Li Shimin was choked, his eyes rolled twice, and he opened his mouth to argue, but was rudely interrupted by Li Yuan.
"Shut up." Li Yuan's face was irritable, and he got up and said, "This matter will be discussed again tomorrow and retreat." ”
The crowd hurriedly saluted and shouted, "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng looked at each other, the flames splashed, and the dark tide surged between the two.
After a while, the two of them looked away at the same time, raised their feet and walked out.
Walking to the door of the hall, Li Jiancheng stopped and looked at Li Shimin, but did not speak.
Li Shimin's raised foot paused in mid-air, and finally he withdrew his foot and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”
A touch of ridicule crossed the corner of Li Jiancheng's mouth, raised his foot and stepped over the threshold, and walked away.
The courtiers in the back felt the unusual aura between the crown prince and the king of Qin, and did not dare to move forward, until the king of Qin left, they raised their feet and left the main hall......
