Chapter 268: I Say
Changsun Chong seemed to be frightened by Li Tao's words, only to see that he wanted to stand up angrily, but he was pressed by the soldiers behind him and couldn't stand up, Changsun Chong roared angrily: "You want to declare a personal vendetta, let me go, I want to see the emperor!" ”
Li Tao didn't care about what he said, but looked at General Wa Guo and said, "See? Now that he can't protect himself, do you still want to help him? ”
The general seemed to be in deep thought, but the eldest grandson on the side said hurriedly: "He is cheating you, he doesn't dare to touch me!" ”
The general seemed to be moved by Changsun Chong's words, glanced at Changsun Chong, and then looked at Li Tao, his expression seemed to say, as long as you kill him, I will tell you everything!
Changsun Chong was very uncomfortable by the eyes of the two, and saw him struggling to stand up, but he was pressed by the soldiers on his shoulders.
Li Tao thought about it for a while, and it was not a way to continue such a stalemate, and finally he said ruthlessly: "Give each of them a knife, whoever tells the truth first will stop!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled out his waist and stabbed the sword at the general of the Japanese state, the thigh of the general was stabbed by the sharp sword, and the blood gushed out, and the general of the Japanese country couldn't help but shout: "Since there is one person and one knife, why don't you stab him first!" ”
As if he hadn't expected this, Li Tao stayed for a long time before he spoke: "It's okay, this knife is his!" ”
As he spoke, he stabbed with a sword, and Changsun Chong didn't seem to expect Li Tao to be so decisive, only to see Changsun Chong kneeling on the ground in pain, as if he had suffered a great pain!
Li Tao glanced at the eldest grandson and said, "With this ability, what else do you want to do?" ”
Saying that, Li Tao was about to stab his sword at the general of the Japanese State, but the general of the Japanese State was also angry, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Stop!" I say it all! ”
The eldest grandson Chong on the side endured the pain on his leg and looked at the general of the Japanese State and said, "Since you have already decided to betray, why didn't you say it earlier, I have to be stabbed with a sword!" ”
The general ignored him, but looked at Li Tao and said: "This general, Changsun Chong and I are in a cooperative relationship, he is responsible for helping us get food and gold, and I will help him do some unsightly things!" ”
Li Tao nodded and looked at him and said, "Then what do you want to do when you come to the mountain this time?" ”
The general hurriedly explained: "Changsun Chong originally asked us to come to Datang to get grain, but I didn't expect that because of the war, the grain and grass in Datang were not sold, and later he told us that we could come here to rob your clothes, and then use your identity to go to the nearby Zhuangzi to grab grain and grass." ”
Li Tao couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and then looked at Changsun Chong and said, "What are you doing?" Actually teamed up with people from other countries to rob the grain and grass of the people of my Tang Dynasty? Are you really tired of being alive? ”
Naturally, Changsun Chong would not accept his fate, he was determined that he was kidnapped.
Li Tao didn't care about him, but then looked at the general and said, "What other unsightly things have you done for him?" ”
The general glanced at Changsun Chong, and finally said ruthlessly: "We have been active near Jiangnan all these years, and most of what we did before was trading and trading, and the only thing that was considered unsightly was probably when I was in Ningbo before, I helped the soldiers of Ningbo kill a rich businessman!" But we are accomplices at best, and these things are all ordered to do by Changsun Chong! ”
Seeing that the general of the Wa Kingdom said everything in one go, Changsun Chong lowered his head helplessly, as if he had accepted his fate.
However, Li Tao did not relax, but told Li Shimin the news as soon as possible.
Li Shimin listened to Li Tao's report, and said a little tiredly: "What do these people want to do?" Do you really want to destroy my country? ”
Speaking of this, Li Shimin said with some anger: "Bring the eldest grandson Chong to me, I have something to ask him!" ”
Li Tao took the eldest grandson Chong to Li Shimin.
The moment the eldest grandson Chong saw Li Shimin, he immediately switched to an aggrieved expression, only to see him look at Li Shimin with snot and tears on his face and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged!" What Li Tao said is not credible! ”
Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Why did you come here today, I don't have to investigate, but I want to know if what happened in Chang'an has anything to do with you!" ”
Changsun Chong lowered his head, his eyes kept rolling, and after listening to Li Shimin's question, Changsun Chong immediately cried out: "What happened in Chang'an?" Wechen has been playing in the north recently, and he hasn't been to Chang'an at all, what happened in Chang'an, Wechen doesn't know! ”
Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Chong looked like he didn't admit his mistake, looked at him and said: "Since you don't admit it, then forget it, Li Tao will take him down, do what you want, don't ask my opinion!" ”
Saying that Li Shimin was about to turn around and return to the car, Changsun Chong was frightened by Li Shimin's attitude, and saw him hurriedly stand up and look at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen said, Weichen said!" ”
Li Shimin was stopped by Changsun Chong, turned around slowly, and then looked at Changsun Chong and said, "Say it!" ”
But he said that he wanted to say it, but Changsun Chong didn't know where to start, and he didn't know how much Li Shimin knew.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Chong lowered his head again and refused to speak, Li Shimin said impatiently: "If you don't plan to make it clear, then shut up completely." ”
The eldest grandson Chong was in a hurry, and seeing that Li Shimin was about to get into the car again, the eldest grandson Chong hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't know where to start, the matter in Chang'an is really too messy!" ”
Li Shimin snorted coldly, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Just start talking after I left Chang'an, you can say as much as you know!" ”
The eldest grandson Chong thought about it and then said, "Your Majesty, you know that you are satisfied!" ”
Li Shimin's face was a little unnatural, but he still nodded and said, "Naturally, I know!" ”
The eldest grandson Chong then continued: "Since Your Majesty knows the heart, he naturally also knows the matter of the heart being given death, although Weichen doesn't know why the heart is given death, but since the emperor has ordered it, the emperor's intention is there!" ”
Li Shimin listened to him say these useless nonsense, and held his forehead helplessly.
The eldest grandson Chong seemed to know that Li Shimin was a little impatient, and hurriedly continued: "That's the case, after Your Majesty gave you the heart of death, you soon left Chang'an, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left behind to supervise the country, and at the same time had conflicts with Your Majesty. ”
Li Shimin stared at Changsun Chong, wondering what trick he was trying to come up with.
Eldest Sun Chong continued: "After His Majesty left Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to move the tomb of his heart to the imperial tomb by virtue of the right to supervise the country, saying that he wanted to give him a name!" ”
Saying this, Changsun Chong stopped, wanting to see Li Shimin's face.
Li Shimin's face did not change, at this time he already knew about these rumors, but he was still skeptical of these rumors, in his opinion, although Li Chengqian had a conflict with him because of the matter of satisfaction, but that satisfaction was just a substitute for Yang Chen, and then Yang Chen would lift the ban, if Li Chengqian wanted to see Yang Chen, he only needed to say hello, why do such a thing?
Seeing that Li Shimin's face did not change, the eldest grandson Chong continued: "After that, the news spread in Chang'an City, and the ministers naturally would not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do anything wrong, so he attacked the prince one after another in the early court and asked him to give up this idea, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not admit that he had this idea, which led to rumors inside and outside the court, and even among the people, all of whom were discussing this matter. ”
Li Shimin took a deep breath, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Then as far as you know, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really have this idea?" ”
Naturally, Changsun Chong would not waste this opportunity to frame Li Chengqian, looked at Li Shimin and said: "Although Weichen has not heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say this with his own ears, whether it is the ministers of the court or the people outside, there must be a reason for this!" ”
Li Shimin nodded, but didn't say anything, but motioned for him to continue.
The eldest grandson Chong no longer hesitated, looked at Li Shimin and said: "Because of the ministers' best opposition, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not ask about it, which led to the final conflict between the two parties, and the adults all pretended to be sick at home and no longer went to the court, and His Royal Highness still wanted to bury his satisfaction in the imperial tomb regardless of it." ”
Seeing that Li Shimin didn't react, the eldest grandson Chong thought for a while and then said: "But although the ministers are pretending to be sick at home, the gossip outside has not stopped, and the people have been saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have realized that something is wrong, so he personally came to the door to apologize, and also sent the best medicinal materials to the adults to recuperate." ”
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Chong and still didn't speak, and Changsun Chong thought that Li Shimin was angry with Li Chengqian's operation.
Thinking of this, Changsun Chong said proudly: "What I didn't expect after that your lords fainted after drinking the tonic sent by His Royal Highness the Prince, and this time they are really completely sick!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was a little impatient, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "What did you say?" All the important ministers who stayed in Chang'an fainted? What the hell is going on! ”
Seeing that Li Shimin was a little anxious, the eldest grandson hurriedly explained: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, these adults are indeed drinking a tonic, but the strange thing about this medicine is that people will faint after drinking it, and now the adults are already well." ”
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the eldest grandson and said, "Then in your opinion, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince use this medicine to stun this writing official?" ”
Naturally, Eldest Sun Chong had already prepared his rhetoric. I saw him look at Li Shimin and said: "Although the adults are sick at home, their health is fine, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really buries his heart in the imperial mausoleum, this writer will not sit idly by." But now the adults have fainted, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do something, the adults can't care about it! ”
