Chapter 741: The World is Settled
After Li Shimin left, Li Yuan's mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
In particular, the look in Li Shimin's eyes when he said that he believed in him was exactly the same as Li Shimin when he was young, and he still remembered the look of completely trusting his father.
At this time, the scene of Li Chengdao stabbing Li Chengqian with a golden hairpin in his mind suddenly flashed in his mind, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and even the hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tremble.
He hurriedly put down the teacup and clasped his hands to relieve the sudden trembling.
Yue Yu noticed that something was wrong with Li Yuan, and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Li Yuan shook his head, paused, and then ordered, "Go and call Qian Jiulong." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, Qian Jiulong came: "The minister has seen Your Majesty." ”
Li Yuan said to him: "You personally investigate the case of Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde, and also, give an order to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department that no one is allowed to visit Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde, including the crown prince and the king of Qin, before the case is concluded." ”
Qian Jiulong commanded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”
......
The next day, at the court meeting, Li Yuan discussed with his ministers the matter of Tuyuhun and the party's joint invasion of Songzhou.
After discussion, Li Yuan issued an order and ordered Dou Liang and Fuzhou Assassin Shi Jiang Shan to join forces in two ways to jointly crusade against Tuyuhun and the party.
After the cases of Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde were handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, Li Shimin did not take any action, and Wang Yu did not make any moves.
After Li Jiancheng found out, he said to Su Dingfang: "It seems that Wang Yu really supports me." ”
Su Dingfang didn't answer, he knew that Li Jiancheng didn't need to respond, he just needed to listen.
After a moment of silence, Li Jiancheng suddenly smiled: "That's right, I'm the crown prince, my father fully supports me, she is my father's good daughter, there's no reason not to support me." ”
At this moment, Li Jiancheng completely eliminated his suspicion of Wang Yu, he asked people to call Da Zhi, and ordered: "Recall all the people who are monitoring Princess Jinyang, and tomorrow morning, you go and invite Princess Jinyang to come to the East Palace." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." Da Zhi led the way.
Seeing this, Su Dingfang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the little girl was finally safe.
A few days later, Qian Jiulong handed Li Yuan the results of the investigation: "Your Majesty, the evidence submitted by Wang Yushi and Chen Yushi is forged, and Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde did not plot to rebel......
Speaking of this, Qian Jiulong suddenly stopped.
Li Yuanzheng was puzzled, and suddenly saw the words on the paper, and his face instantly turned pale.
After reading it, Li Yuan slapped his palm on the imperial case and said angrily: "These two stinky boys are taking my words as a deaf ear again." ”
Qian Jiulong lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, he knew that the two stinky boys in His Majesty's mouth were the crown prince and the king of Qi.
In this case, the crown prince and the king of Qi bribed the two imperial historians and framed Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde for plotting a rebellion in an attempt to weaken the power of the Qin Palace.
Now that His Majesty knows the truth, will he punish the prince?
Or will it ...... Shielding the prince as always?
Just as Qian Jiulong was guessing, Yue Yu walked in, holding a flat box in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is something sent by King Qin, saying that it is the first article made by King Hengshan, please correct it Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Li Yuan took the box, took out the articles inside, and read it carefully.
"The first time I wrote an article, I wrote it so well, and I was really talented." Li Yuan's serious expression gradually became kind, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and a smile crept up on his face: "The article is well written, and the words are also well written."
"So smart, if you go to Hongmeng Academy to study for a year and a half, you will definitely be able to pass the children's department and become a prodigy......"
As he spoke, the smile on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth suddenly disappeared, and he remembered the scene where Li Chengdao stabbed Li Chengqian.
The hall was quiet for a moment, Li Yuan took out one of the papers, then put away the rest of the evidence, and said to Qian Jiulong: "You personally send this evidence to the Criminal Department, and tell Dou Dan how to sentence, how to sentence." ”
"Yes." Qian Jiulong took the evidence and left the Taiji Palace.
Out of the palace, Qian Jiulong took out the evidence in the carriage, flipped through it, and found that the piece of paper that Li Yuan took was evidence that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had bought Yushi.
Sure enough, His Majesty still shielded the prince.
......
At the court meeting on the second day, Dou Dan was under tremendous pressure and reported the investigation results of the case to Li Yuan in front of the ministers.
“...... Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde conspired to rebel is really framed, and when they are acquitted, the two imperial historians fabricated evidence and framed the court officials, and they should be beheaded according to the law. ”
After finishing speaking, Dou Dan hung his head, not daring to look at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
And Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were so angry in their hearts, but they couldn't show anything on their faces.
Li Yuan glanced at them, and then ordered the release of Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde, and gave jewelry, cloth and other property to appease, and also agreed to Dou Dan's sentence for the two imperial historians.
Li Shimin's face was expressionless, but he sneered in his heart: Heh, it is simply stupid to do something to his father when he is ashamed of him.
Fortunately, he hadn't arranged for his cronies to enter the Jingzhao Mansion and the Left and Right Wei Mansions, otherwise his father's guilt would not have been so deep, and things would not have gone so smoothly......
The cases of Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chi Jingde were not discussed by the people for long, because the good news of the Jianghuai region reached Chang'an, and the people instantly changed the topic.
The Tang army was brave, and the Song army led by Fu Gongqi was defeated again and again, and in desperation, Fu Gongqi had no choice but to surrender.
At the time of surrender, Fu Gongyi said to Li Xiaogong, the commander of the Tang army: "This time I raised an army against the Tang Dynasty, I just acted according to orders, and the mastermind was our leader, that is, Du Fuwei, the king of Wu." ”
After the words fell, he took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is the secret order given to me by King Wu at the beginning, which says let me raise troops against the Tang Dynasty and rescue him from Chang'an."
"By the way, King Wu's righteous son Kan Ling is also an accomplice."
Li Xiaogong took the secret order and looked at it, and it was really as Fu Gongqi said.
So, Li Xiaogong immediately ordered people to arrest Kan Ling, and then executed Fu Gongqi and Kan Ling and others for the crime of treason.
Since then, the Jianghuai Army, which dominates one side, no longer exists.
After this, Li Xiaogong ordered all the evidence to be presented to Li Yuan, saying that Du Fuwei was the mastermind behind the Jianghuai army's rebellion.
With all the human and material evidence, Li Yuan ordered Du Fuwei to be deprived of all his official titles, and put him in prison, his family property was confiscated, and his family members were reduced to slavery and issued to meritorious officials who needed slaves.
But two days later, news came from prison that Du Fuwei had died violently.
According to the pretend, Du Fuwei pursued immortality and often took pills, and the poison of the pills accumulated in his body day by day, and then finally broke out, resulting in death.
It's just that a person who committed rebellion died, and the people of Chang'an City didn't take it to heart, and after a few days of discussion, Du Fuwei completely disappeared from Chang'an.
The pacification of the Jianghuai region means that the entire Central Plains region is under Li Yuan's control, and the world has been settled since then, and Li Yuan once again rewarded meritorious heroes.
And after Yuan Junzhang heard that Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi were dead, he wanted to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but he was afraid that he would repeat it many times, and Li Yuan didn't believe him.
So, Yuan Junzhang gave up this idea, and still attached himself to the Turks, according to Heng'an.
However, it seems that the peaceful and prosperous era has arrived, but in fact, a greater crisis lurks beneath the splendid flowers......
