Datang Nongwang

Chapter 917: Imprisoned Again
startled.

Startled.

Everyone was startled.

A group of court officials who didn't know where they were, looked at Fang Xuanling, Li Chongyuan, and even Li Shimin.

What exactly was written in the letter?
This is the doubt in everyone's mind.

Even Li Chongji, who was still kneeling there, pleaded guilty after seeing Fang Xuanling read the letter, and even his fourth brother blamed Fang Xuanling.

I can't see it, and I can't hear it.

Everyone wanted to know what was written in that letter.

It can make Fang Xuanling kneel down and plead guilty after watching it.

And this time.

Cheng Yaojin, who was ordered to lead the troops to arrest Li Chongyuan, and Li Daozong are back.

As soon as Cheng Yaojin and Li Daozong arrived at the gate of the Taiji Hall, they were startled by the situation in the hall.

although.

When they were outside the palace, they already knew that Li Chongyuan brought Lu Shi into the palace, and when they arrived at Wubenfang, Li Chongyuan had already entered the palace.

Not so long ago.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Daozong were ordered to arrest Li Chongyuan, so they went to Wubenfang, and even went to Xisha County Prince's Mansion in vain.

When they arrived at Xisha County Prince's Mansion, the people in the mansion said that after Li Chongyuan went to the palace, the two of them were stunned for a long time.

This time arresting people by order really made them both lose face.

Of course, Li Daozong didn't care at all, and after hearing the news that Li Chongyuan had entered the palace, the uneasiness in his heart fell to the ground.

But Cheng Yaojin's black face became even darker.

After being teased by Li Chongyuan once, if Cheng Yaojin could cheer up, he would be called a monster.

The two returned, looking at the situation in the palace, you look at me, I look at yours, they really don't know why, let alone what the situation is now.

"My lord, this minister is incapable." Cheng Yaojin entered the back of the hall, glared at Li Chongyuan bitterly, came to the front, and bowed to Li Shimin.

Li Daozong did the same, but he didn't speak.

Li Shimin watched the two go out of the palace to arrest Li Chongyuan, but Li Chongyuan was already in front of him, but he didn't blame Cheng Yaojin and Li Daozong, he waved his hand lightly, signaling them to return.

Li Daozong returned to his throne.

Cheng Yaojin did not return to the throne, and clasped his fists and said: "My Majesty, I have checked, Li Chongyuan has arrested Liang Guogong's children and others, and has already sent them to Li Zhuang. I dare not go to Li Zhuang for fear of disturbing the Supreme Emperor. Let the Holy One judge."

Does Cheng Yaojin have no eyesight?
Why did Cheng Yaojin report this to Li Shimin in the current situation?
Only Fang Xuanling and his wife were kneeling on the ground, while Li Chongyuan was standing.

Even Li Chongyuan's elder brother Li Chongji knelt on the ground.

Can't you really see nothing, can't smell anything?

of course not.

How could Cheng Yaojin, who is rough on the surface but delicate in heart, see a little bit of it.

He just wanted to take the opportunity to put a shackle on Li Chongyuan's head.

When normal people listen to Cheng Yaojin's words, they don't think there is a problem. Even Li Shimin doesn't think there is a problem in Cheng Yaojin's words.

But Li Chongyuan knew why Cheng Yaojin did this.

Li Chongyuan looked at Cheng Yaojin and groaned in his heart.

The relationship between Li Chongyuan and Cheng Yaojin is not as good as before.

Even, the relationship with Cheng Yaojin's sons is not as good as before.

What's more, even Li Chongyuan's second elder brother, Li Chongxuan, has lost contact with Cheng Yaojin's son, Cheng Chumo, and they no longer communicate with each other.

Ever since Li Chongyuan was borrowed by Li Shimin's imperial decree from Cheng Yaojin to beat Li Chongyuan with a stick, the Li family basically had no contact with the Cheng family.

The old lady spoke and explained the reason for the incident. The people in the Li family are not fools, so they can naturally know some problems from that incident.

Unless Cheng Yaojin comes to apologize.

Otherwise, the relationship between the two can only end here.

but.

How could Cheng Yaojin, such a shameless person, come to the door to apologize.

What's more, Cheng Yaojin has been thinking about high-yield grain all the time, how could he take the initiative to come to apologize?
Cheng Yaojin's report displeased Li Daozong.

Although, this matter must be reported, but it also depends on the timing.

But Cheng Yaojin chose this opportunity to report to Li Shimin, and Li Daozong's face immediately sank when he heard it.

When returning to the palace.

He, Li Daozong, said that this matter can be decided by the Supreme Emperor, but Cheng Yaojin seemed to want to show his merits, and he seemed to take the opportunity to add a crime to Li Chongyuan.

Although Cheng Yaojin reported the matter, Li Shimin was speechless, looked at Cheng Yaojin, waved his hand, then looked at Fang Xuanling and shouted: "Fang Qiao, I really don't understand, why do you hate Li Chongyuan so much? To kill Li Chongyuan! One time is enough, why do you have to come again! A third time, a fourth time! I don’t understand you anymore. You have been helping me for a long time, I think I understand you, I thought you were doing it for my Datang, but I didn't expect that there is no Datang in your heart, only your Fang family."

Huh.

Li Shimin said this.

Although Cheng Yaojin had returned to his position, he was a little silly.

This is how the same thing?

Why did it not take long for him to go out of the palace to arrest Li Chongyuan? How did he become like this.

Shouldn't Li Chongyuan be blamed, why should Fang Xuanling be blamed?

Cheng Yaojin felt a little nervous.

Don't say that Cheng Yaojin didn't understand why, all the court officials present still didn't understand why.

Fang Xuanling, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed again and again, "I am guilty, I am guilty, please see on the face of the old minister who has dedicated himself to the death, let the old minister's wife and children be spared, and I admit all the crimes, Your Majesty."

Fang Xuanling wanted to resist everything.

Fang Xuanling naturally knew about Lu's behavior, it was not a simple vendetta.

Fang Xuanling wanted to exchange himself for the safety of his wife and children.

All the court officials still didn't understand, so they looked at the present.

Changsun Wuji was also very curious at this time, approached Fang Xuanling, and picked up the letter that Fang Xuanling had put on the ground.

After Changsun Wuji observed the letter, he was speechless, quietly returned to his own place, and without saying a word, lowered his head.

Changsun Wuji's behavior made all the court officials want to know what was written in the letter.

With one person watching and believing, there will naturally be a second person.

The second person is Cheng Yaojin.

And when Cheng Yaojin read the letter, he looked at Fang Xuanling and his wife in disbelief, and then at Li Chongyuan. In the end, he also returned to his own position, with his head so low that he didn't look like himself anymore.

The ministers have read the letter.

And the last one to believe was Wei Zheng.

After Wei Zhengguan received the letter, he was heartbroken, "Your Majesty, I can't believe it. This is what the Prime Minister did. Assassinate the clan, and the one who assassinated was an important official of the court, and even used hundreds of dead men to assassinate the important ministers of our court. What a serious crime this is. I have worked with Prime Minister Fang for many years, and I really don’t understand why Prime Minister Fang chose to do such a thing! Even though Li Chongyuan once disabled his son by the court, Li Chongyuan was also punished accordingly. Punishment, this matter should be over. I still can't figure out why Fang Xiang chooses to do this!"

Everyone can't figure it out.

It's understandable that Wei Zheng couldn't figure it out.

and.

Everyone's first subjective consciousness believed that this matter was planned by Fang Xuanling and his wife.

The Lu family replied to several letters, and the Lu family even sent a letter she had written to the Lu family.

And this time.

Those of Lu's family also read the letter, and they couldn't help but looked at each other.

Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Lu Chengqing was even more nervous at the moment and didn't know what to do with him.

In the letter, all points were directed at Lu's family.

although.

He, Lu Chengqing, can represent the Lu family, but the Lu family has several houses, and he, Lu Chengqing, is the eldest family of the Northern Ancestor.

Of course, the letter did not refer to the Lu family, but as long as one checked the handwriting in the letter, one could know who wrote these letters from the Lu family to the Lu family.

Lu Chengqing had read the letter, so he knew from the handwriting in the letter who wrote it.

Lu Chengqing couldn't help himself, and the other members of the Lu family who were in power couldn't help themselves either.

They were very nervous, afraid that Li Shimin would suddenly question them and attack the Lu family.

but.

Li Shimin did not look at them, but looked at Fang Xuanling with regret and said: "You and I have been monarchs and ministers for so many years, and today, it is over. Come, take Fang Qiao and his wife down, and enter Dali Temple."

"Your Majesty is ashamed, I am ashamed of Tang Dynasty, I am guilty, I am guilty, please let my wife and children go." Fang Xuanling still wanted to trade herself for his wife and children.

However, Li Shimin did not speak, turned around, and did not even look at Fang Xuanling.

The guards took Fang and his wife away.

And this time.

Li Chongyuan, after pulling his elder brother up, went straight to one of the court officials.

This action of Li Chongyuan immediately alarmed all the court officials, even Li Shimin looked at Li Chongyuan, wondering who Li Chongyuan would bring down next.

A prime minister has been brought down by Li Chongyuan, who will be next?
Li Chongyuan took a slow step and walked up to Lu Chengqing, with hatred in his eyes and a sneer on his face, "Lu Zuocheng, how long are you going to stand? I believe you have seen it too, can't you see who this is?" handwriting?"

"Li Junwang, I have no enmity with you. Besides, I don't know who wrote the letter. Besides, there are so many people in Lu's family. I don't know who answered the letter. And I don't know who wrote the letter. For a long time, there have been few intersects with the house. You don’t doubt that it’s my handwriting, Li Junwang. I believe that everyone present should know my handwriting. Li Junwang, don’t just talk about it , Convict this official." Seeing Li Chongyuan pointing at him, Lu Chengqing panicked, but he wasn't afraid at all.

Whose handwriting was on the letter, of course he knew.

Moreover, he also knew that among the several letters to Lu this time, there were two handwritings.

The handwriting of the two people, and the handwriting of those two people, he knew exactly whose handwriting it was.

But it is really difficult to convict someone just based on the handwriting in the letter.

However, it would be easy if the emperor convicts someone with a single word, but Li Chongyuan is not the emperor, and Lu Chengqing is really not afraid of what Li Chongyuan can do to him.

Li Chongyuan smiled.

Yes.

I have no real evidence, but only with the handwriting of a few letters, it is really difficult to convict anyone.

At this time, Li Chongyuan realized that he was too hasty.

Li Chongyuan laughed, but his laughter made Lu Chengqing feel a little scared.

Li Chongyuan smiled, stepped back, pointed at Lu Chengqing and said, "Lu Zuocheng, you have to be careful, I will keep watching you, you and your son, until your family is finished."

Li Chongyuan didn't say let the Lu family die.

This cannot be said.

Because Li Chongyuan knew that once he uttered these words, the next attack would not necessarily be limited to the Lu family, maybe there would be the Cui family, the Zheng family, and the Wang family.

"Li Junwang, although my Lu family has offended you, but I have never had any ill relations with you." Lu Chengqing was a little flustered by Li Chongyuan's warning words.

Li Chongyuan still sneered, staring at him with hatred.

All the court officials present looked at Lu Chengqing.

Everyone already knew that in the case of Li Chongyuan's assassination, the Lu family acted as thugs, and there were several hundred of these thugs.

But Li Chongyuan's warning words also made them see something interesting.

This time the Lu family dispatched dead soldiers to assassinate Li Chongyuan, Lu Chengqing probably knew about it.

Even, the handwriting in the letter may be someone from Lu Chengqing.

Standing on the treasure platform, Li Shimin saw that Li Chongyuan did not provide any evidence, but he took a look at Lu Chengqing, the Shangshu Zuocheng.

This look from Li Shimin made Lu Chengqing feel the pressure.

Li Shimin turned to look at Li Chongyuan coldly, and said coldly, "Li Chongyuan, you are guilty!"

"The minister is guilty. The minister will admit how the sage wants to punish the minister." Li Chongyuan was called a minister by Li Shimin, and even bent over and bowed his head to salute.

Fang Xuanling is already in prison, so there is no need for Li Chongyuan to recharge.

If he pleaded guilty, Li Chongyuan naturally knew what he was going to plead guilty to.

He led thousands of soldiers to appear in Chang'an City, and led troops to surround Wubenfang.

Without any will or authorization, he dared to raid the prime minister's mansion, and even arrested people at will.

These are all Li Chongyuan's crimes.

Li Shimin was secretly relieved, and said coldly: "Since you pleaded guilty, come here, take Li Chongyuan down, and break into Dali Temple."

Li Chongyuan cupped his hands and was taken down by the imperial guards.

This court meeting, this change of situation.

No one guessed the beginning, and no one guessed the end.

Fang Xuanling was sent to Dali Temple, and Li Chongyuan was also sent to Dali Temple.

When Li Chongyuan was sent into Dali Temple, what he saw was Fang Xuanling and his wife who were imprisoned opposite.

Fang Xuanling and his wife had already changed into prison uniforms.

And Li Chongyuan was also changed into a prison uniform.

Li Chongyuan, who was sitting across from him, looked at Fang Xuanling and his wife opposite, and said with a sneer, "Fang Xiang, who used to be aloof, is still used to coming here."

"Hmph!" Fang Xuanling snorted coldly.

Li Chongyuan continued to sneer and said: "Hehe, Fang Qiao, no matter what, you will not be able to escape this time. And your sons will not be able to escape either. You should be able to imagine their end, especially Your own end."

While Li Chongyuan was speaking, Li Zhao descended to court and came along with Li Chongyuan's brothers.

When they saw Li Chongyuan sneer at Fang Xuanling who was opposite, they also laughed in their hearts.
