Shen Chen replied after a long time: "Indeed, I took the initiative to sign it." ”

"Why?" Lin Xi couldn't understand, "You are not guilty, and you have not done anything wrong, why did you sign that confession?" ”

Shen Chen's expression was a little complicated, "It's a long story. ”

Lin Xi immediately said: "Then you can speak slowly, as long as you want." Did they force you? Use the poison in your body to force you, and you signed it to give you the antidote? But after you signed it, they regretted not giving you the antidote? ”

As he spoke, Lin Xi then made up a group of ungrateful dog things, and suddenly became angry.

Shen Chen was still a little depressed, but when he heard this, he smiled and asked; "Do you think that the husband will be a person who can be forced into submission by a mere poison?"

Lin Xi blurted out: "No." ”

Shen Chen helped her sit down, and then brought her a mouthful of pear blossom cake for her to eat first, "I promised you not to hide it from you, you listen to me slowly." ”

Lin Xi nodded.

Shen Chen sighed lowly, but asked first, "Did Master Chen and Master Li talk to you about the changes in the Xuanwu Gate Palace?" ”

Lin Xi said: "I said, I also know this." ”

Shen Chen said: "The Xuanwumen Palace changed, and the interval between me returning to Beijing and being imprisoned for trial was extremely short. ”

"That's right, it seems that your case has only been tried for a short time, and the palace has changed. At that time, Taizu was still vomiting blood and falling into a coma, which gave the five princes and a party opportunity at that time. "Lin Xi Road.

Shen Chen bowed, "When Taizu drove the expedition in person, the five princes at that time had most of the courtiers, and they all had real power, which made Taizu seriously ill, the crown prince at that time, that is, the current emperor, had very few people available, if he couldn't win over some people who could affect the political situation in a short period of time, the five princes would definitely succeed in forcing the palace." ”

Lin Xi was stunned.

What does this have to do with Shen Chen's signing of the confession?

Moreover, the Xuanwumen Palace changed later, and Shen Chen signed the confession first.

She couldn't figure it out, so she asked directly.

Shen Chen said with a gloomy expression: "It has something to do with it." In fact, the five princes secretly enveloped the courtiers, and the grandfather and son had already found traces. And I had a special identity at that time and had a great influence, so the prince at that time used Dali Temple to interrogate me to attract the attention of the courtiers, secretly check the five princes, and finally determined that the five princes were trying to force the palace to take the throne. ”

Lin Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Then the prince has found out, how can there be a palace change?" Why don't you just take down the Five Princes and the others? ”

Shen Chen patiently analyzed Lin Xi: "First, Taizong is seriously ill and unable to govern, and the power is in the hands of his courtiers, so there is no suitable reason to take it back; second, it is not suitable to end the war, which is not suitable for the recurrence of disputes; Third, the power of the five princes and one party is huge, intertwined, and the whole body is affected by one move, and it is easy to move, otherwise it will cause instability in the government and the opposition; Fourth, there are very few people who can be trusted by the prince. ”

Lin Xi hissed: "Isn't this a situation that is bound to lose, no wonder so many people will die in the Xuanwu Gate Palace." However, what does this have to do with your signing of the confession, you still haven't said. ”

Shen Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and his tone was calm and unwavering, "Because at that time, it was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the squire of the military department who judged me, these two people are extremely important in the party of the five princes. ”

Lin Xi was puzzled: "How important is it?" ”

Shen Chen said: "These two people have won the trust of the five princes, if they have a careful plan, they can get the talisman in the hands of the five princes that can command the defense army in Beijing, and plot against some of the henchmen." At that time, the other Qin troops were in the place, far away from the capital, not to mention, and it was not easy to transfer, and if they were not careful, they would let the five princes notice and force the palace in advance. ”

Once the palace is forced in advance, Taizu and the crown prince have no manpower, and it will be a proper defeat.

Lin Xi was stunned, looking at Shen Chen, who was expressionless, a very incredible thought popped up in her mind.

"I remember that Chen Fuzi and Li Fuzi told me that the crown prince at that time defeated the five princes and the party, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the squire of the military department played a great role."

"Since these two people were not the prince's party at the beginning, it means that the prince must have given them conditions that they couldn't refuse at all, so they were willing to defect to the prince."

"Could it be that this condition turned out to be ...... You sign the confession??? ”

Shen Chen's hand on the stone table table tightened, then loosened again, and unconsciously rubbed his fingertips.

He bowed his head indifferently, and there was sarcasm in his eyes, "Yes." ”

Lin Xi slapped the table and stood up, "Why?" No, why? In order to get them to help, just make you confess, it's too bullying! ”

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi, who was angry like a kitten with teeth and claws, and his heart softened surprisingly.

He pulled her to sit down, then held her hand and looked at her red palm, a little distressed, but he was very indifferent when he talked about his own affairs.

"Because the crown prince needs them, the people at that time also need them, and Daqin also needs them."

The five princes are violent and vicious, and they are not the kings needed by the people who should recuperate, nor are they suitable to be the superiors.

Great Qin just ended the war and couldn't afford another chaos.

Lin Xi said angrily: "That's ridiculous! If you confess your sin, they will help the prince, what if they don't turn against the prince after you confess? Then you won't suffer in vain......"

Halfway through speaking, Lin Xi suddenly reacted to a very important point.

Why did Shen Chen admit his guilt, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the squire of the military department helped the prince?

What is the inevitable connection between the two?

There is only one answer, and that is-

"The prince did that, could it be that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the squire of the military department were the ones who framed you for collaborating with the enemy and treason??"

Shen Chen still lowered his head, gently rubbed Lin Xi's reddened palm, hummed, and said, "I didn't return to Beijing in time at that time, first, I was seriously injured and couldn't walk; The second is that it is better, and immediately go to find out who did it, and finally find out who did it, and finally find out the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the soldier of the military department, all the evidence points to them. ”

Lin Xiluo sat up straight, "What about later?" ”

Shen Chen said: "Later, I returned to Beijing with evidence, and as soon as I entered Beijing, I was caught by Taizu and the prince's people. ”

It was also because he was the person of Taizu and the crown prince that he took the initiative to show up and did not resist.

Otherwise, those people may not even find him.

"I thought they would take me to see Taizu, but no, they sent me directly to the prison, and then the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the squire of the military department accepted the case. I can't see Taizu either. ”

Lin Xi: The fist is hard, really hard!

She asked, "The murderers are them, so they don't let you see Taizu at all, and you can't give the evidence to Taizu." In order to make you confess, they torture you, right? That's how all those interrogation wounds on your body came from?? ”

Shen Chen said: "Fortunately, after all, Taizu didn't make an order, they couldn't figure out what Taizu meant, and they didn't dare to torture me too harshly." ”

Lin Xi said indignantly: "What does Taizu mean? What else could it mean? Taizu doesn't believe you at all! Don't ask for the truth and evidence, faint king! ”
