Datang Nongwang

Chapter 855 Interrogation
Weapons, that's not something you can have if you want to.

Even if you are honorable, if you want to equip your own guards or guards with weapons, they will all be reported.

If you get a few weapons, it won't do anything.

But if you really hide hundreds of them privately, then the consequences can be imagined.

And this Shangshu is all about it, not just hiding weapons, he also hides those villains who attacked and killed Li Chongyuan yesterday.

When the two things are added together, don't say that Wang Li will take him down on the spot, even if anyone finds out that this Shangshu is involved in these two things, they will take him down immediately.

When Li Shimin's angry voice fell to the ground, Wang Li did not say a word, bowed and retired, and went to carry out the will of Li Shimin.

And this time.

There was even more silence above the court, and no one dared to stand up and say anything at this moment.

Why?

Because that Shangshu is all about Feng Ju, who belongs to Fang Xuanling.

Who is Fang Xuanling?

He is the minister of the court, a first-class prime minister.

Something went wrong with Fang Xuanling's people, so Fang Xuanling just sat on the wax.

but.

At this time, not only Fang Xuanling was sitting on the wax, but also that Cui Renshi from the Cui family.

After Master Cui Ren listened to Wang Li's report, his face immediately changed.

From the change in Master Cui Ren's face, one can guess that this Shangshu is probably a member of the Cui family.

Chaotang became a little weird at this moment.

Say quiet, it is also quiet.

Say there is movement, and there is movement.

Li Shimin on the throne, sitting on his throne, looked coldly at the court officials below, as if he was staring at each of them.

As for the court officials below, some were expressionless, such as Fang Xuanling.

Some are filled with righteous indignation, such as Changsun Wuji.

There are also people who take pleasure in other people's misfortune, such as people who are not from Fang Xuanling, nor from the Cui family.

Of course, there are even more good things, those who sit and watch the upcoming drama.

At this time, Li Ke saw that the atmosphere above the court hall was a little weird, and he stood up to break the weirdness, "My lord, I believe that those who hide weapons privately should be punished as treason. And the minister is also private. Hiding weapons, and hiding the villains who attacked and killed my clan and county king. It is enough to see that the Shangshu is all related to Feng Ju, and I am afraid that he has colluded with these villains for a long time. Even a small Shangshui has colluded with villains. There must be someone behind him, Feng Ju, and I ask the Holy Spirit to order a thorough investigation to find out who is behind him."

"Your Majesty, I think what the King of Wu said is true. Feng Ju is just a minister, so where did he get so many weapons? It's not a matter of a day, at least it takes a few years to hide hundreds of weapons. It takes time to get so many weapons. I was ordered by the emperor to control iron mines and weapon refining. I believe that Feng Ju's private possession of so many weapons must not have flowed out from the Military Arms Supervision, and someone must be behind his back Backing him up, that's why I can get so many weapons in my hand." Seeing that Li Ke had stepped forward before him, Sun Wuji, the Duke of Zhao, hurriedly stood up to speak out for himself.

Indeed.

If Changsun Wuji didn't defend himself, then where did the Shang Shu all the weapons that Feng Ju kept in his possession come from?

Apart from the imperial court, the only one who could get so many weapons was his eldest grandson Wuji.

All the weapons of the imperial court come from the Military Weapons Supervisor.

Without Li Shimin's permission, no one would be able to obtain any weapon from the Military Weapons Supervisor.

In addition to the Military Weapons Supervisor, there is also the Weapons Workshop.

And these weapons workshops are managed by Changsun Wuji.

His eldest grandson Wuji heard that Feng Ju had hidden so many weapons in private, so he naturally wanted to stand up and draw a clear line, and was filled with righteous indignation to investigate the matter thoroughly and prove his innocence.

Therefore, he who rarely agrees with Li Ke can't care so much now.

What shame is there, once Li Shimin suspects that the weapons hidden by Feng Ju have flowed out of Changsun Wuji's hands, then his eldest grandson Wuji will just sit on the wax like Fang Xuanling.

Of course, if you still want to get weapons, you can also get them from Li Chongyuan.

However, Li Chongyuan didn't make weapons now, he just made some steel weapons for some people close to him.

Moreover, the original knives in the hands of Li Chongyuan's guards also came from the imperial court.

It's just that it was later replaced by those made by Lao Xu and the others.

Since then, Li Chongyuan never asked Old Xu and the others to forge steel weapons. Even after Tang Li and his disciples came, Li Chongyuan only asked people to report to the court about the weapons in their hands.

Lao Xu and the others have been very busy recently, so they don't have time to forge any steel weapons.

The core power of the ship is enough to keep them busy.

source of weapons.

In addition to these, of course there are other places.

For example, some blacksmiths can also make weapons.

But these weapons are only forged in private, so they can't be revealed.

If it really comes out clearly, then everyone will know the consequences.

Hiding weapons privately has now become a matter of tension for all court officials.

From the prime minister to the other officials, they were all wondering where the weapons hidden in Feng's residence came from.

Li Ke said that there should be a thorough investigation, and Changsun Wuji also said that there should be a thorough investigation.

This also made Li Shimin, who was sitting on it, nod secretly in his heart when he saw that Changsun Wuji rarely agreed with his son Li Kezhi's words so much.

Two quarters later.

Wang Li is back.

At the same time, the minister who was taken down by him was also Feng Ju.

When Feng Ju was brought to the Tai Chi Hall, Fang Xuanling looked at Feng Ju coldly, and remained as serious as before, as if nothing had happened.

After Feng Ju was brought into the Tai Chi Hall, the face of the Cui family member Cui Renshi changed again and again.

Cui Renshi's expression changed again and again, and he frequently gave Feng Ju who was brought in winks that no one else could detect.

but.

At this moment, the Shangshu was all about Feng Ju, but he couldn't receive his winks, let alone any hints from him.

Feng Ju, ever since he was captured by Wang Li with a thunderbolt, he knew that he was going to be killed.

The crime of hiding the villain who attacked and killed the clan king was enough for him, not to mention hundreds of weapons were found from his house.

Feng Ju was able to guess his result, and even more so, where his final path was.

When Feng Ju was brought into the Tai Chi Hall, from the beginning to the end, he seemed to be indifferent, as if he had seen through everything, he didn't care what the court officials thought of him, and he didn't care what Li Shimin on the throne thought of him.

And this time.

After Li Shimin on the throne saw Feng Ju being brought, he slowly got up from the throne, and then slowly walked towards Feng Ju below.

When Li Shimin came to Feng Ju, the veins on Li Shimin's face seemed to be deliberately exposed, but everyone knew that Li Shimin was extremely angry at the moment.

"Say, how can I feel sorry for you! How can I lose my morals again, and let you think so hard!" Li Shimin hated nothing more than others trying to plot against him in his life.

These few years.

Li Shimin has been in the midst of being rebelled against by others, and even his son, the crown prince, is uniting with outsiders to plot against his father.

Li Shimin can not hate it.

It has become the laughing stock of the world that his son conspired against his own father.

But now, another incident like this happened, how could he, Li Shimin, deal with it indifferently.

Feng Ju looked at Li Shimin indifferently, neither knelt down nor saluted, of course he couldn't salute either, his hands were tied.

The indifferent Feng Ju looked at Li Shimin, shook his head slightly, looked at the court officials, and said with a sneer: "I think Feng Ju was literate at the age of three, and was hailed as a child prodigy at the age of seven. Hua Qi, I wanted to rely on my talent in this life, dedicate myself to my court, contribute to the country, and benefit the people. Hateful, hateful, I, Feng, participated in the imperial examination several times, and I was also named Luosun Shan. The reason for this is clear to everyone who thinks about it But later on, I, Feng, had no choice but to become a guest at someone else's house, to do errands for them, and only then was I recommended to go into an official career."

"I staggered and walked for thirty years without going smoothly. Now I, Feng, have more than fifty people, but I have been sitting on this seventh-rank official. It's really pitiful. I have been running around for dozens of years. What happened in the end? I didn’t get it, and I didn’t even leave a reputation.”

"Your Majesty, you asked me why you have wronged me. I don't know if it counts. As for His Majesty's failure of morality, you know this most clearly in your heart. You don't need me, Feng, to waste any more words. As for Your Majesty, you have to punish Whatever crime I have committed, I will let the Holy Majesty decide, and I, Feng, will be responsible for any crime."

Feng Ju was very stubborn, and he said a lot of words, first of all, he said how he didn't know what to do.

As for the imperial examinations he mentioned, everyone present knew that it was dark.

At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty was in the midst of wars, the previous dynasty was destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt. The matter of the imperial examination was simple.

Furthermore, the imperial examinations at that time were too watery, and whoever was close to the original chief official could enter the court as an official.

In addition, Feng Ju thought how talented he was at the beginning, and when he took part in the imperial examination, he thought that he would become a scholar through the imperial examination.

But he didn't think about it. After a few years, he participated in the imperial examination several times, but he still ended up losing his name.

In the end, he was recommended as an official only after being a guest at someone's house and running around non-stop.

Feng Ju said that someone's house, everyone present probably knew who it was.

And Li Shimin is even more clear.

but.

When Feng Ju responded to Li Shimin's words, when Li Shimin heard it, the anger in his chest rose again, and he was about to slash Feng Ju in front of him, "Feng Ju!!!"

Li Shimin was angry.

There is something in Feng Ju's words, and the middle of Feng Ju's words is referring to the Xuanwu Gate change initiated by Li Shimin back then.

Although Feng Ju didn't say it clearly, Li Shimin knew what Feng Ju was referring to as soon as he heard it.

The change of Xuanwu Gate is a taboo word, and no one can say it casually.

However, this Shangshu Dushi didn't seem to care at all whether his own life could be saved, and he didn't even care whether Li Shimin would kill him with a knife, and cryptically said about Li Shimin's immorality.

Li Shimin was angry, and the angry Li Shimin roared loudly.

But Feng Ju still smiled lightly, as if he had already put his own life aside.

Such a scene is very rare in the court.

All the court officials seemed to have collectively lost their words, and no one stood up for what, let alone criticize Feng Ju.

finally.

Under Li Shimin's anger, the court meeting ended.

All court officials left the palace one after another, but Feng Ju was let go by Li Shimin and thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

With Feng Ju's rank, he can only be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at best, and he is not qualified to enter the prison of Dali Temple.

noon.

When Li Chongyuan, who was looking at the situation of the injured at the mansion, got his elder brother Li Chongji to come to the mansion to describe today's court meeting, he really thought about it.

Not long after, Li Chongyuan entered the palace and met Sheng, "Your Majesty, why don't you hand over Feng Ju to me. I believe that as long as Your Majesty entrusts Feng Ju to me, I will definitely let him speak and let him tell his story. Who is behind it?"

"What the hell are you planning?" Li Shimin calmed down, he didn't care about Feng Ju at this moment, but was curious about how Li Chongyuan could get the person behind him from Feng Ju's mouth.

Li Shimin thought about whether the person who recommended Feng Ju as an official was the person behind Feng Ju.

but.

When Li Shimin thought about it, Feng Ju didn't seem to get a decent promotion all these years, and he didn't even see the person who had close contact with Feng Ju.

Therefore, Li Shimin naturally put the suspicion in the second place.

Li Chongyuan replied with a half-smile on his face: "Your Majesty, don't worry about this, as long as your Majesty entrusts Feng Ju to me, I will be able to pry his mouth open for you."

"Wang Li, you take Shande to the Ministry of Punishment to pick him up." Li Shimin confessed after thinking for a while.

Li Shimin didn't want to ask more questions.

Because Li Shimin knew that what Li Chongyuan didn't want to say, he wouldn't say it no matter how much he asked.

And he, Li Shimin, didn't care whether he complied with the regulations or the regulations, he directly ordered Wang Li to take Li Chongyuan to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to pick him up.

According to reason.

Li Chongyuan is the person involved, and Feng Ju is someone who hides the bad guys, so it is impossible for him, Li Chongyuan, to be the chief judge of the case.

But Li Chongyuan never thought about these things, he just wanted to know who was behind Feng Ju, who wanted his own life.

In fact, the first target of Li Chongyuan's suspicion was the Cui family.

But I have no evidence, so I really have nothing to do with the Cui family.

If Feng Ju's mouth had been pried open, then Li Chongyuan would have a reason to call the door.

After Feng Ju was taken away from the Ministry of Punishment by Wang Li, he was thrown to Li Chongyuan.

As soon as Li Chongyuan mentioned Feng Ju, the smile on his face never stopped.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion of Xisha County, Li Chongyuan led the wandering Feng Ju to a small basement room, and said softly: "Feng Dushi, if you say it now, you may still have a chance. If you don't say it now , then we can't stop. However, whether you say it or not, I, Li Chongyuan, know that you must be from the Cui family."

"Hehe, Li Chongyuan, what means do you have, just let the horse come here, I, Feng Ju, will never back down!" Feng Ju remained the same.

Li Chongyuan laughed again, "Since this is the case, let's start. At that time, don't say that I, Li Chongyuan, don't talk about martial arts and morality. Tang Li, close the door!"
