In front of Jing Zhaoyin, Li Yuan defended Li Jiancheng, but in private, Li Yuan still taught Li Jiancheng a lesson.

"Du Ruhui is just a small bachelor, you are a dignified prince, how can you send someone to assassinate him?"

As long as Li Yuan thought of this, he felt that it was incredible, Da Lang was too petty to do this.

In the face of Li Yuan's reprimand, Li Jiancheng was surprised and aggrieved at the same time: "Aya, the person who assassinated Du Ruhui was not sent by me. ”

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Then why did you kill those assassins?" ”

Li Jiancheng's expression was stunned, Jing Zhaoyin actually told his father what he had done?

After thinking about it, I felt that it was reasonable, after all, Jing Zhaoyin was his father's confidant.

However, this matter was originally something he did wrong, and when his father asked, he still didn't hide it, so as not to anger his father.

Thinking about this, Li Jiancheng confessed: "Actually, Concubine De came to beg me, so I went to Jingzhao Mansion." ”

"Concubine De?" Li Yuan was surprised: "Could it be that that group of assassins was sent by Concubine De?" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, and then told Li Yuan about the incident as it was.

After Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but scold Concubine Yin De, and then looked at Li Jiancheng again: "Why do you want to help Concubine De?" ”

When he asked this, Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng with a strange look in his eyes.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly explained: "Concubine De is the biological mother of King Xu, and King Yu is my brother, for the sake of King Xu, I can't stand idly by, not to mention that Du Ruhui has not been injured in the slightest."

"Once those assassins confess, Erlang will definitely hold on to it and take the opportunity to eradicate the Yin Guogong Mansion and even Concubine De.

"King Yu is still young, and it would be pitiful if he didn't have his biological mother to take care of him."

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng's eyes became gloomy: "My mother passed away at an early age, and since then, my son has never enjoyed his mother's care.

"So, I hope that my children and my brother can grow up happily with their mothers."

Hearing this, the doubts in Li Yuan's heart suddenly dissipated, and his expression became sad: "Yes, your mother went too early. ”

If the Dou clan was still there, why did their brothers get into such a situation today?

After being sentimental, Li Yuan still taught Li Jiancheng a lesson and warned him: "There will never be a second time for such a thing, otherwise it will be dealt with according to law." ”

Li Jiancheng knelt down to thank him: "Thank you father for forgiveness, my son will definitely remember it." ”

......

After hearing that the case of Du Ruhui's assassination was closed, Concubine Yin Defei and the Yin Mansion were all relieved.

To solve the trouble, Hu urged Concubine Yin De to complain to the emperor.

Concubine Yin Defei went to Taiji Palace, told Li Yuan about Li Shimin's injury to his father and brother, and asked Li Yuan to punish Li Shimin.

Who knows, after Li Yuan heard this, he did not angrily order the palace people to pass on Li Shimin as usual, but scolded her fiercely and punished her for thinking about it behind closed doors.

Only then did Concubine Yin Defei know the truth and left the Taiji Palace in a gloomy manner.

On the other side, Li Shimin knew that after the case was closed, he angrily summoned Jing Zhaoyin.

"I have been in charge of Jingzhao Mansion in the past, I know the rules, without His Majesty's holy decree, how can you let the crown prince interrogate the prisoner?

"As an official of the imperial court, you know the law and break the law, don't you want to live?"

After the words fell, Li Shimin slapped the table heavily, and the tea cup on the table slipped and shattered.

In the face of Li Shimin's anger, Jing Zhaoyin knelt down and said in fear: "The king forgives his sins, and the minister is also forced to do so."

"At that time, the prince came to Jingzhao Mansion in person, saying that he wanted to interrogate the prisoner, and he didn't let my people look at it, I was just a little Jingzhao Yin, how could I dare to confront the prince? There's really nothing you can do. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin was even more angry: "Don't quibble, when you sat in this position, you should have been prepared, only recognize the law, not the powerful."

"Otherwise, if a magnate comes today and disturbs the law tomorrow, and tomorrow a magnate disturbs the law, won't the master of the capital be in chaos?

"So cowardly and incompetent, what face do you have to sit in this position?"

Jing Zhaoyin lay directly on the ground and kept begging for mercy: "The king is angry, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves death......"

Li Shimin knew that without his father's instructions, Jing Zhaoyin would never close the case so hastily, and he was just venting his evil anger at the moment.

Looking at Jing Zhaoyin's weak appearance, Li Shimin's heart was panicked, scolding Jing Zhaoyin was meaningless, and nothing would change.

So, Li Shimin made a request: "I heard that the group of assassins committed suicide after confessing, and I want to conduct an autopsy." ”

Jing Zhaoyin was shocked in his heart, and responded calmly on his face: "This case has been closed, and the body has been disposed of......"

Li Shimin laughed angrily: "Good, good, good." ”

Sure enough, it was premeditated.

Li Shimin's laughter made Jing Zhaoyin's hair stand on end, and his heart couldn't stop trembling, but the next moment, Li Shimin's cold voice sounded in the room: "You stand down." ”

......

On the second day, Li Shimin asked to see Li Yuan alone after the court meeting.

"Father, the eldest brother went to Jingzhao Mansion to interrogate the prisoner privately, but the rules did not follow, and after he interrogated the prisoner, the prisoner committed suicide, which is very strange.

What's more, the prisoner's confession is also suspicious, only saying that he assassinated Du Ruhui because of personal vendetta, but did not explain the specific grudge.

"My son requests that the case be handed over to Dali Temple for retrial, and ask my father for permission."

Li Yuan had a little headache, but he still cheered up and dealt with it: "The prince reported to me before he went to interrogate the prisoner, so it can't be said that he violated the rules."

"As for Du Ruhui's case, it was indeed caused by personal grudges, and the group of assassins planned the assassination, and the mastermind behind it was the group of assassins.

"The evidence in this case is conclusive, and I will personally review and close the case, and there is no need to retry it."

When Li Shimin heard that Li Yuan exonerated Li Jiancheng, he was both surprised and angry, and when he heard the latter words, he was not just angry, but unwilling.

The father was so partial that he lied to him in order to protect his eldest brother......

Li Shimin's hand hidden in his sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, he wanted to control his anger, let go of his fist, and the next moment, the fist was clenched again.

It's infuriating.

His fists clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, and so on several times, and he finally managed to restrain the anger in his heart.

"Father has always been wise, since you say so, then there must be no problem, I believe you.

"It's just that the assassination of the imperial court official actually happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which made the people of Jingshi panic.

"It can be seen that there are still some omissions in the security of the Beijing Division, and the defense should be redeployed."

Li Yuan nodded, thinking deeply: "That's right, it's time to adjust." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin took the opportunity to propose: "There are many children of high-ranking officials in the Sixteen Mansions, and they are usually lazy, and it is common for patrols to be inadequate.

"It's better to dispatch elite soldiers and good generals from the local area to garrison the Beijing Division."

Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

Du Ruhui's incident really gave him a wake-up call, the security of the Jingshi is too lax, which is a big danger to him and the people.

What's more, he protected Da Lang, and he felt ashamed in his heart, and it was not good to refuse Erlang's proposal at this time.

So, Li Yuan said: "You draw up a list first, and give it to me tomorrow......"
