Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 218 The world focuses on the king of Chu

After the prince finished speaking, Dou Jing also realized that the so-called re-investigation was just a rhetoric, and the prince had no intention of letting Dou go.He was so naive, knowing that the crown prince might be the mastermind behind this case, yet he still imagined that the crown prince could let the Dou family go.

Qi Wang Li Yuanji came out, stood beside the prince, and said loudly: "The Dou family is a relative of the emperor. To be honest, this king does not believe that the Dou family will have treasonous intentions at all. But the problem is that now witnesses The physical evidence is all there, if this is not enough to settle the case, then what is the meaning of the existence of the Tang Dynasty's criminal law. The Wu De Law was compiled to do special things."

The first half of the sentence seems to be comforting, but the second half of the sentence fully exposes Li Yuanji's face.

"King Qi." Li Shimin said: "Of course Wu Delu didn't do something special, but this case is full of doubts. It is very inappropriate to draw conclusions and slander the Dou family."

"Then dare to ask King Qin what solution can clear the suspicion from Dou's body?" Li Yuanji asked.

Li Shimin cupped his hands towards Li Yuan and said: "Father, my son still thinks that we should investigate this case in detail and return Dou's innocence."

"How to investigate in detail?" Li Yuanji asked: "Does King Qin mean to let the two prime ministers prove their innocence?"

Chen Shuda said: "What the king of Qi said is wrong. Even if this case is related to the Dou family, it has absolutely nothing to do with the two prime ministers. Why should the king of Qi bite the two prime ministers?"

"Presumptuous!" Li Yuanji scolded angrily, "I have never tried to bite you, you don't want to spoil my innocence by talking nonsense here. The dignified prime minister, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, encountered such a major treason case, he didn't want to share his worries for the king. What is your intention to attack this king with such a glib tongue!"

Are you innocent?Chen Shuda rolled his eyes, cupped his hands towards Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is loyal to the imperial court, please give me your Majesty's lesson."

"Chen Xiang, don't be impatient." Li Yuan comforted Chen Shuda, and looked at Li Shimin, "Qin Wang thinks, who can thoroughly investigate this case and return Dou's innocence?"

"My son is willing to investigate!" Li Shimin clasped his fists.

Dou Kang raised his head and looked at Li Shimin, slightly moved in his heart.In the end, King Qin was still on their side.

"Isn't that right?" Li Jiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, you are busy with military affairs, training soldiers and horses, how can you have time to thoroughly investigate such important cases?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although the military affairs are busy, this case is related to the foundation of Datang. If it cannot be resolved, even if Datang holds a million troops, it will be like dry grass."

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, and his voice became slightly colder, "According to what you said, if you can't clear Dou's name, the Tang Dynasty will perish tomorrow?"

"My son never intended that." Li Shimin hurriedly defended.

"Hmph!" Li Yuan snorted coldly.

Li Zhiyun looked down at the wat board, it was as clean as jade, and there was no handwriting on it.The wat board is used to concisely record the tasks of the sages, so that it is convenient to go back and sort them out.Sometimes the content to be played is written on the wat board in advance, similar to post-it notes.Of course, most people's wat boards are used for clapping.

At this time, seeing that the court situation was at a stalemate, the unknown Xiao Yu walked out of the queue, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this case still needs to be investigated in detail, but the person who investigates the case has to be determined by His Majesty himself."

Li Shimin said: "Xiao Xiangguo's words are reasonable, and my ministers agree."

After finishing speaking, he gestured to Dou Kang's eyes, the latter immediately understood, cupped his hands and said: "The person who investigates the case must be appointed by His Majesty, and the minister seconded it."

The confrontation just now made Dou Kang understand that no matter how much he wastes his saliva, the Prince's family will not let it go, so it can only be delayed temporarily.

Immediately afterwards, the officials of the King Qin family asked Li Yuan to appoint a person to investigate the case.

At this time, Li Yuanji said: "Father, my son is not talented. I would like to share my worries for my father. I ask my father to allow my son to investigate this case and return Dou's innocence."

Dou Kang sneered and asked King Qi to investigate the case. Is it because Dou's death is not fast enough?

The crown prince said: "Father, since Yuan Ji has a heart, I think you can let Yuan Ji try."

"Inappropriate." Li Shimin retorted, "The king of Qi has several positions, and he has the heavy responsibility of guarding Taiyuan. How can he investigate the case. What's more, the king of Qi has never had any experience in investigating cases. I ask my father to think twice. Choose someone else."

"Do you want to investigate the history of the case?" The prince said: "Zheng Shanguo, Minister of Dali Temple, has rich experience, and can investigate this case."

Li Shimin clenched his fist suddenly, and there was a flash of fierce light in his eyes.

Li Yuanji smiled triumphantly at Li Shimin, clasped his fists at Li Yuan, and said, "I think what the prince brother said is very reasonable. Dali Temple is originally used to investigate cases, and it is safest for Zheng Siqing to investigate cases. King Qin, what do you think of this king?" If you have no experience in investigating cases, you can't question Zheng Siqing's experience in investigating cases, right?"

Zheng Shanguo straightened his waist in an instant.

Look at me, look at me, look at me!
Seeing Li Yuanji's despicable face, Li Shimin felt furious and wanted to rush up and kick him twice.

Chen Shuda retorted: "When the minister of Dali Temple was investigating the case, he was tortured and tortured, causing all the prisoners to die. It would be a big mistake to let him investigate the case. I suggest that your majesty choose another candidate."

Zheng Shanguo's face darkened, and he said gloomyly: "Those people hid their bows and crossbows privately and deliberately conspired against them. They are like dead soldiers. If they don't use heavy punishment, they will not confess at all. Chen Xiang is not from Dali Temple, and he doesn't know the twists and turns of investigation. , it’s better not to pretend to be smart.”

"You..." Chen Shuda snorted coldly, Zheng Shanguo didn't give him any face, which made him very upset.

Li Shimin's brows gradually twisted into twists, just now Li Yuanji was biting Prime Minister Dou, now Zheng Shanguo directly referred to the prisoner as a 'dead man', if he continued to delay, he might be able to say something like 'Prime Minister Dou is plotting to rebel'.

Li Yuan looked at the ministers, "My dear friends, who among you is willing to lead the investigation of this case?"

Everyone: "."

Whoever jumps into such a big pit is an idiot.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan excitedly, and almost raised his hand to signal.But Li Yuan only glanced at him and didn't look at him again.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji was a little disappointed.

After looking around, no one volunteered.

Therefore, Li Yuan said: "It seems that all the lovers feel that there is no need to investigate this case again, so then"

"Father." Li Shimin hurriedly interrupted Li Yuan.

"Does King Qin want to investigate this case?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng who was smiling across the way. He knew very well that as long as he, or his own people, asked to investigate the case, the prince would definitely object.

Is there no way?
At this time, he couldn't help but feel sad, what Fang Xuanling said, the crux of the case is not the result, but the attitude of the father.

But father
Thinking of this, he saw the expectant eyes of Dou Kang, Dou Jing and others.

That's all, I will.
He wanted to try again and ask Ying to investigate the case, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Li Zhiyun who was behind Li Yuanji with his head bowed and silent.

King of Chu!

"Father, I feel that the king of Chu can preside over this case!"

After the words fell, the world focused on the King of Chu.

Li Zhiyun: "."

Li Shimin, what do you mean by riding a horse?Pull the pad back, right?

The crown prince and Li Yuanji looked at each other, feeling bad.

The king of Chu has nothing to do with this case, and he is not close to the Dou family. If the king of Chu is asked to investigate the case, maybe the emperor will agree.

The prince hurriedly said: "Father, the fifth younger brother has no experience in investigating cases. If he is allowed to preside over the trial, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Li Zhiyun immediately wanted to scold her mother.
