Since Liu Wenjing was interrogated and Li Yuan discussed it once in the court, there was no further discussion.

Li Yuan has been hesitant.

On this day, the two brothers, Liu Shuyi and Liu Shuyi, received permission from the emperor to visit their father Liu Wenjing and uncle Liu Wenqi in prison.

"Father, uncle......" The two brothers called, and they choked up a little.

Liu Wenqi saw their sad appearance and exclaimed: "Your Majesty listened to slander and is going to kill us?" ”

Without waiting for them to answer, he knocked his head with great remorse: "I really regret that I didn't have drunk with your father that night, and I made a mistake when I drank alcohol, and it was true." ”

That night, he and Liu Wenjing drank together, and they were very drunk, Liu Wenjing pulled out his saber and cut the doorpost, scolded Pei Lin in his mouth, and threatened to kill Pei Lian.

The next day, they were reported to have rebelled and were imprisoned.

Now that Liu Wen thinks about it, he regrets it.

Liu Shuyi hurriedly said: "Uncle, Your Majesty has not issued an order to kill you, this case has not been closed, and Your Majesty has not yet made a decision. ”

Hearing this, Liu Wenqi was a little relieved, but soon his face was full of worry: "Your Majesty has not made a decision for a long time, could it be that you really listened to the slander and thought that we were rebelling?" ”

The two brothers were silent, they had already learned from the King of Qin about the situation in the court that day, and now, people outside were saying that His Majesty was going to execute his father and uncle, and they didn't know what to do.

They had no other way but to ask the King of Qin.

"You don't have to worry about Wen Qi, even if Your Majesty listens to slander, I still have a chance to avoid death, and when I use it, I don't have to die." Liu Wenjing's face was relaxed, and there was no big disaster coming.

"What about me?" Liu Wenqi looked at Liu Wenjing with resentment: "If Your Majesty really betrays us to death, you have the privilege of avoiding death, you don't have to die, but I don't."

"What should I do?"

Liu Wenjing: "......"

He hadn't really thought about it.

Embarrassment flashed on Liu Wenjing's face, and after a while, he said arrogantly: "Then I'll give you the opportunity." ”

Anyway, he is the founder of the country, and His Majesty will never kill him.

Hearing this, Liu Wenqi was overjoyed, and then hesitated again: "This is not appropriate, right?" ”

"What's wrong? That's it. Liu Wenjing said.

Next, Liu Wenjing asked the two brothers about the situation outside.

After listening, Liu Wenjing still felt that the emperor would not execute him, and said to the two brothers easily: "You go back, don't worry, my father is innocent and the founder of the country, Your Majesty will not dispose of me." ”

The two brothers walked away in disbelief.

......

On this day, Li Yuan, as in the past, left Pei Lin to speak after the court meeting.

After saying a few words, Li Yuan finally mentioned Liu Wenjing's matter: "Does Supervisor Pei believe that Liu Wenjing is really as the wizard said, is he changing his luck for a great cause?" ”

Pei Lin lowered his eyes slightly, and said with great respect: "The minister believes in the evidence he saw with his own eyes, and believes in what he heard with his own ears."

"It is a fact that Liu Wenjing is dissatisfied with His Majesty, and it is also a fact that he ordered the wizard to do so."

Speaking of this, Pei Lin stopped, there are some things that can't be said too much.

Li Yuan hesitated: "However, Liu Wenjing, like you, is a founding hero, the Tang Dynasty has only been established for three years, and the world is undecided, will it be inappropriate to kill the founding hero at this time?" ”

He has been thinking about this question for the past few days, if it is undecided today, if he kills the founding hero, will he lose the hearts of the people?

Pei Lin took the opportunity to speak: "It is undeniable that Liu Wenjing's talent and resourcefulness are above everyone, but he is insidious by nature, and he loves to be suspicious and jealous.

"If today is undecided, there is a strong enemy outside, and if there are traitors inside, I am afraid of great disaster.

"For the sake of the world, this person must die."

......

Just when everyone thought that even if His Majesty wanted to execute Liu Wenjing, he would save Liu Wenjing's life because of the privilege of avoiding death, the holy decree came down.

“...... Liu Wenjing and his brother Liu Wenqi conspired to rebel, and their crimes were unpardonable, and they were sentenced to death, remembered their past exploits, and the privilege of avoiding death, pardoned their families, and confiscated their property......"

Liu Wenjing sat down on the ground, his face was full of disbelief, His Majesty actually wanted to execute him?

The next moment, he straightened up and said loudly: "Impossible, Your Majesty can't kill me, I have the privilege of avoiding death."

"I don't believe you are falsely preaching holy decrees, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty......"

The eunuch who announced the decree didn't even look at him, turned around and left.

"It's over, it's over......" Liu Wen's face was like ashes, and he sat on the ground dejectedly.

The will reached the Liu Mansion, and the Liu Mansion was sad.

Li Shimin immediately entered the palace and met Li Yuan: "Aya, the son guarantees with the head of the Xiang, Liu Wenjing has no intention of rebelling, what the wizard said must be slander."

"Please Aya take back her order and investigate this matter in detail."

In order to make Li Yuan change his mind, Li Shimin knelt down: "Please Aya take back his order and investigate this matter in detail." ”

Looking at his son kneeling on the ground, Li Yuan's gaze became obscure, and he said expressionlessly: "Chrysostom will never regret it." ”

Li Shimin's face turned pale, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Aye knows that what the wizard said is not true, and he doesn't allow people to torture him, so he has long wanted to deal with Liu Wenjing, right?" ”

"Presumptuous." Li Yuan was furious and slapped his palm on the armrest: "Lonely in your heart, is it just a despicable villain who has wronged the heroes?" ”

"I don't mean that." Li Shimin gritted his teeth, hesitated and struggled for a long time in his heart, and finally didn't dare to mention what he just said.

Li Yuan's face softened slightly, and he said lightly: "Stand down." ”

Li Shimin didn't move, and looked at Li Yuan stubbornly: "Liu Wenjing still has the privilege of avoiding death, this is what you gave him, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and you can't go back." ”

"I can give it to him, and I can take it back." Li Yuan was indifferent.

"You can remove Liu Wenjing's official title, I just beg you, don't kill him." Li Shimin pressed his forehead to the ground and pleaded again: "I beg Aya to spare Liu Wenjing's life, please." ”

Li Yuan didn't expect Li Shimin to kneel and kowtow to beg him for Liu Wenjing, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.

But at the same time, Li Yuan was firm in his desire to kill Liu Wenjing, and he said indifferently: "You have no jokes, the holy decree has been issued, and there is absolutely no room for change in this matter." ”

In the end, Li Shimin left the Taiji Hall with a miserable face.

Back at the Qin Palace, Li Shimin said indignantly to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Aya knew that Liu Wenjing did not rebel, and he still wanted to execute him, and he was not even allowed to use the privilege of avoiding death, so it was clear that he had already saved his mind to deal with Liu Wenjing.

"Everyone knows that Liu Wenjing defends me everywhere, defends the Qin Palace, he is my person, Aya wronged him and wants to kill him, but he just wants to weaken my power.

"Liu Wenjing followed me to pacify Liu Wuzhou and made such a great feat, Aya attacked him, just because he was afraid that my prestige would surpass that of the eldest brother, and that the eldest brother's position as the prince would be threatened."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin snorted heavily: "Jinyang raised troops, it was I who accompanied Aya and plotted with Liu Wenjing to achieve the great cause."

"The eldest brother just traveled with the army and fought a few insignificant battles, what credit does he have?

"If it weren't for me, how could Aya come back safely from Luoyang? How could Xue Ju and Liu Wuzhou be easily pacified? How can Datang have today? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent, and as soon as the holy decree came out, he thought that His Majesty was not targeting Liu Wenjing, but against King Qin.

His Majesty took this opportunity to warn the King of Qin not to have the intention of arrogance......
