An hour later, Li Xiaochang came back to his life.

"Your Majesty, the minister interrogated the prisoners who escaped that day, and Wei Zheng, Xu Shimo and Su Dingfang all said that Dou Shangshu assisted the prince's people to rescue them.

"The minister also asked Wang Jue, who appeared in prison that day, and he also admitted the matter."

Hearing this, Princess Xiangyang's face turned pale in an instant, and she knelt down in front of Li Yuan again: "Father, the horse will never do such a thing, it must be those traitors who know that they can't escape death, so they pull the horse into the water."

"Father, this is slander, please be aware of it."

Li Yuan waved his hand at Li Xiaochang.

Li Xiaochang immediately retreated.

Seeing this, Yue Yu also retreated with the palace people in the palace.

It wasn't until only their father and daughter were left in the hall that Li Yuan spoke: "Su Dingfang did not participate in the rebellion, and he has a meritorious role in quelling the chaos, his words are credible." ”

Princess Xiangyang's expression froze, and the next moment, she said again: "I believe that the colt will not do such a thing, and even if he does, he must have a hard time." ”

Li Yuan's face sank: "What is his distress to help him abuse and put himself to death?" ”

Princess Xiangyang was dumbfounded.

But she was not reconciled, and cried and begged: "Father, the colt really won't do such a thing, you must trust him......"

Li Yuan was upset when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Come on, send Princess Xiangyang out of the palace." ”

After being driven out, Princess Xiangyang did not leave the palace, but walked to the side hall to the west.

The chamberlain hurriedly stopped: "Princess Xiangyang, Your Majesty has a decree, let me wait to send you out of the palace." ”

Princess Xiangyang glared fiercely: "Father said to let me leave the palace, but not let me leave the palace now." ”

After speaking, Princess Xiangyang pushed away the inner attendant and continued to walk forward.

Chamberlain: "......"

In desperation, the chamberlain had no choice but to follow.

Seeing Princess Xiangyang walk in, Gao Huitong and the others hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Princess Xiangyang." ”

Princess Xiangyang looked around: "Where is Xiao Yu'er, where is she?" I want to see her. ”

Gao Huitong's attitude was very respectful: "Back to Princess Xiangyang, our princess has just taken medicine and has fallen asleep." ”

Hearing this, Princess Xiangyang did not leave, but walked straight to the inner room.

"Princess Xiangyang ......"

Gao Huitong hurriedly caught up.

Before she reached the inner room, Princess Xiangyang saw the eldest grandson come out of it.

"Princess Qin?"

Seeing the eldest grandson, Princess Xiangyang stopped and stopped breaking in.

The eldest grandson walked up to Princess Xiangyang with a smile on his face and saluted elegantly: "Sister Wanfu." ”

Princess Xiangyang returned the salute, and then said, "I'm here to find Xiao Yu'er." ”

After saying that, he wanted to bypass the eldest grandson and go inside.

The eldest grandson took a step to the side, blocking her way, but still smiling: "Sister, Xiao Yu'er has just taken medicine and has fallen asleep, so you might as well talk about it tomorrow." ”

Princess Xiangyang didn't believe it in her heart: "I heard that Xiao Yu'er was seriously injured, so I went in to take a look at her." ”

"Okay, I'll go in with you." The eldest grandson took the initiative to get out of the way.

Afterwards, the two entered the inner chamber together.

Seeing Wang Yu lying on the bed with a pale face, and the room was full of unpleasant medicinal smells, Princess Xiangyang believed the words of the eldest grandson.

So, Princess Xiangyang left the West Side Palace, but she did not leave the palace, but went with the eldest grandson to see Li Shimin.

"Erlang, although you and I are not from the same mother, but after all, we have the same blood in our bodies, I have something I want to ask you for help, I wonder if you can agree?"

Li Shimin's attitude was very gentle: "Sister, please say, if you can help, I will definitely help." ”

"Dou Suma was slandered and rebelled, and now he is being put in prison by his father, and I hope Erlang will help him and say a few words for Dou Mulma in front of his father."

Hearing Princess Xiangyang's request, Li Shimin's face was embarrassed: "If it is something else, I will definitely help, this matter is ......

"Sister should know that the prince and King Qi rebelled, and my father was very angry, and anything involved in rebellion was a big crime.

"Although I am a little thin-faced in front of my father, if I intercede for the rebels, I am afraid that I will also be imprisoned in Dali Temple."

Princess Xiangyang hurriedly said: "Dou Yuma did not participate in the rebellion, he is innocent." ”

Li Shimin took the opportunity to say: "Since this is the case, Sister doesn't have to worry, the third division will find out the truth and return Dou Dou Ma to a clean slate." ”

Princess Xiangyang: "......"

In the end, Princess Xiangyang left the palace dejectedly.

After getting into the carriage, Yahuan asked, "Princess, have you given up like this?" ”

"No, I'm not going to give up." Princess Xiangyang raised her head with a determined gaze.

Then, she commanded, "Go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion." ”

On the second day, Princess Tong'an entered the palace to see Li Yuan.

......

A few days later, the third division presented Li Yuan with a list of all the remaining parties and evidence.

In the end, Li Yuan announced the closure of the case and asked the final result to be read out at the court meeting.

The crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji forced the palace to rebel and were demoted to concubines, and their wives and children were also demoted to concubines and exiled to Lingnan.

Wei Qingjian, Li Jin, Zhang Yin, and others who participated in the rebellion were sentenced to death, and Wei Zheng, Wang Qi, and Xu Shimo were exempted from capital crimes, but were dismissed from their official positions.

And Dou Dan was only judged to be derelict in his duties and fined one year.

In addition, all the heroes who fought the rebellion were rewarded accordingly......

Although Dou Dan was not punished accordingly, it did not affect Li Shimin's good mood.

After the next dynasty, Li Yuan summoned Li Shimin to discuss state affairs.

"After the rebellion, there are many official positions vacant, you draw up a list first, and hand it over to me tomorrow." Li Yuan commanded.

Li Shimin replied respectfully: "Yes, father." ”

Li Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "Although Fu Yi is proficient in the metaphysics of celestial phenomena, his mental skills are not correct, which almost made our father and son suspicious.

"Now that he has been ambushed, and the position of Taishi Ling is vacant, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Li Shimin's heart moved, should he take the opportunity to recommend his own people?

After a moment of thought, what he said was: "The secretary and supervisor Xiahou Duan is proficient in this way, and he is honest and strong, and he thinks he is the most suitable person." ”

Although Xiahou Duan is not his person, he can be regarded as helping him this time, and he is also a friend of his father, so it is the safest choice to recommend him.

Li Yuan said: "Xiahou Duan is old, his health is not very good, and he can't work too hard, not to mention that he has already asked for Zhishi, and I am about to approve it." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin said the candidate in his mind: "Wang Yuanzhi, the master of the Taoist Temple of Yuqing Xuantan in Luoyang, was born in the family of the eunuchs, has traveled all over the world, and is also proficient in the way of metaphysics.

"And Emperor Chen Xuan and Emperor Yang of Sui respect him very much, I think he can hold the position of Taishi Ling."

Li Yuan was still dissatisfied: "As far as I know, Wang Yuanzhi is now more than a hundred years old, and he is so old that it is not suitable to work hard, so don't disturb his cultivation." ”

Li Shimin thought about it, this makes sense, Wang Yuanzhi is really not suitable to be an official at such an age.

So, Li Shimin searched in his mind again.

"By the way, father, there is another person, Yuan Tiangang, the county commander of Huojing County, Shu County, is proficient in the way of metaphysics, he was ordered to enter Beijing before, and you also discussed with him."

Yuan Tiangang left a deep impression on Li Yuan, so when Li Shimin mentioned him, Li Yuan did not rush to deny it.

Seeing Li Yuan's expression shaken, Li Shimin said again: "Yuan Tiangang is still Xiao Yu'er's master, and Xiao Yu'er will see and see the heavenly phenomena all taught by Yuan Tiangang."

"With Yuan Tiangang's talent, he is enough to serve as Taishi Ling."

————

Li Yuan was silent.

Yuan Tiangang's ability, he recognized, not to mention that Yuan Tiangang also taught such an excellent apprentice.

He remembered that Xiao Yu'er had analyzed the meaning of Taibai Jingtian with him, and found that everything she said had appeared.

"Then summon Yuan Tiangang to Beijing and serve as the Taishi Ling."

Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart, although it was not held by his people, at least this important official position did not fall into the hands of outsiders.

Li Yuan said again: "This time to quell the chaos, Xiao Yu'er has made a great contribution, in addition to her request, I am also ready to promote her to the ...... of the official"
