Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 220 Let me judge, right?

dilemma!

Now Li Shimin and Dou Wei are in such an embarrassing situation, they refuse to admit defeat and want to find a chance to reverse the case.He even did not hesitate to give up confronting the prince head-on, and dragged Chu Wang Li Zhiyun into the water to delay time.

As for Li Yuan, he gave them a chance to stall for time, but Pei Ji's proposal almost forced them to admit their mistakes immediately.

The reason is very simple, if the Dou family wants to find someone to take the blame, then Li Yuan will definitely not admit it, but if Li Yuan does not admit it, if he continues to delay, Dou Wei and Dou Kang will not be able to stay in the political affairs hall to participate in politics, and they can only be forced to cooperate with Li Zhiyun to investigate the case. But the problem is, who knows how long Li Yuan will delay.

It's okay to say three to five months, if it is delayed for three to five years, the two Prime Minister Dou will either be old or they will be old.

It can be said that this move basically blocked Dou's retreat.

The King of Qin understands this truth, Dou Wei understands it, the Prince understands it, and even some important officials understand it.

However, there is no way to refute it, because the case involves Dou Shi, Pei Ji's statement is completely reasonable.

Of course, someone didn't understand, and that was Li Yuanji.Seeing the almost uncontrollable smile on the corner of his elder brother's mouth, he felt anxious and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Fourth brother, don't worry. I'll explain it to you when the court meeting is over."

"it is good."

Li Shimin couldn't sit still anymore, Pei Ji's move was too ruthless and poisonous, almost killing him with one blow.

"Father, what Prime Minister Pei said is extremely inappropriate, and I forgive you for not agreeing with it."

"What's wrong?" Li Yuan's eyes fell on Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "Father, the government affairs are busy, if the two Dou are to cooperate in the investigation, who will help the father to deal with state affairs?"

Pei Ji chuckled, and said: "Your Highness, this is not correct. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all talents from the sky. It is not that they cannot handle the government affairs without anyone. Please rest assured, Your Highness, the ministers will definitely assist His Majesty in handling state affairs."

Li Shimin was annoyed. When Pei Ji was sick of Liu Wenjing before, he felt very happy, but now that he disgusts himself, he really thinks Pei Ji deserves to die.

"Father, if you suspect the two prime ministers because of this case, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the scholars in the world, please think again, father."

Immediately afterwards, the officials of King Qin's family spoke one after another, telling Li Yuan not to agree to Pei Ji.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun sneered in his heart.This is not Pei Ji's idea, this is clearly Lao Li's own trump card.Pei Ji is not from the prince, let alone from the king of Qin, he is a pure emperor's eagle dog, only charging for the emperor.

Without the emperor's instructions behind it, even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare to deal with Dou's like this.

But now, the more King Qin rejects this proposal, the more disgusted Lao Li will be.

Listening to the voices one after another, Li Zhiyun silently sighed in his heart, the second brother was still too anxious, losing the two prime ministers of Zhengshitang was equivalent to cutting off his arms.Threatening Li Yuan to change his mind with the wishes of all the ministers is courting death.

So, he secretly glanced at the saint on the throne.

Sure enough, Lao Li's face was dark and purple at this time.As far as he is concerned, the actions of the courtiers and the king of Qin are equivalent to forcing the palace.

He was upset, very upset.

At this time, Li Jiancheng cupped his hands and said: "Second brother, it's wrong for you to do this. If the two Prime Ministers are really innocent, they will soon be cleared of their grievances and return to the court. But right now you are repeatedly rejecting the royal father. Good intentions, I don’t want to exonerate the Dou family, I really don’t understand it for my brother. Or, do you think that the father and the emperor can’t govern without two Dou ministers in the Zhengshitang?”

Murder will be punished!
It's terrible!

Li Zhiyun pursed his lips, wanting to laugh out loud.

Li Shimin immediately retorted, "This king never intended that!"

"Not necessarily." Li Yuanji said slowly, "This case involves the Dou family. The King of Qin desperately denied the truth found out by Dali Temple and wholeheartedly wanted to protect the Dou family. We don't know if there is any connection."

"Nonsense!" Li Shimin pointed at Li Yuanji and reprimanded, "How dare you deceive the emperor here, it's simply presumptuous!"

He hated it so much that the two brothers actually teamed up to trick him and deal with him.

Pity him for fighting for the Great Tang, but in the end, there is no brother who understands him and helps him.

No, no, there is a brother who always agrees with his thoughts.After thinking about it, he looked at Li Zhiyun.

"Fifth brother!"

"Second brother." Li Zhiyun cupped his hands.

Damn, can you stop looking at me, it's definitely not a good thing to be spotted by you.

"You come to judge!"

Judge?

Second brother, you cheated on me just now, do you know that?

Let me judge, okay.

Li Zhiyun said: "Father, what the second brother said is not unreasonable, but what Xiang Pei said is also completely reasonable. My son thinks that there is no need for the two prime ministers to leave the political affairs hall. They are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so there should be no harm." Yixin, it is very likely that other members of the Dou family did this. Why don't we recall all the children of the Dou family to Chang'an and interrogate them one by one. In this way, it will not only allow Prime Minister Dou to continue participating in politics, but also help Erchen solve the case as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Dou Kang's eyelids trembled violently.

King Chu's proposal was even more ruthless than Pei Ji's. To recall all Dou's children, wouldn't that mean uprooting Dou from the court?

What a king of Chu, his mind is so vicious!
The prince's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son thinks it's feasible."

Hmph, recalling all Dou's children is tantamount to a thorough investigation of Dou's influence in various places. If the case is not solved for a day, these Dou's children can only stay in Chang'an to waste time.

If Pei Ji's method of dealing with Dou's was to cut off the strongest branches on the big tree of Dou's, then Li Zhiyun's method was to dig out the roots.

Li Shimin opened his mouth, then bit his lips tightly.

The king of Chu did not disappoint him and stood on his side, but the solution of the king of Chu made him unable to agree, nor could he agree.Moreover, what the king of Chu said was well-founded, and both inside and outside the words showed that he believed that the case of secretly hiding bows and crossbows had nothing to do with the two prime ministers.

"Aiqings, do you think what the King of Chu said is acceptable?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuan's mouth.He did not expect that King Chu could surprise him this time.

Dou Wei never thought that things would turn out to be like this when things developed to this point.

Either he and Dou Kang leave Zhengshitang, or all Dou's children who are away return to Chang'an.No matter which one, he couldn't accept it.

At this time, the Guanlong officials who supported King Qin and the Dou family fell silent.They didn't want to see Guan Long lose power in the Zhengshitang, so they resisted fiercely.

But now the king of Chu gave him a second choice.

Moreover, it seems that the second option can be negotiated and accepted.

Pei Ji glanced at Li Zhiyun unexpectedly, and found that the latter's expression did not change, but he didn't fully take it to heart.

In his opinion, Li Zhiyun's approach is actually kind and he doesn't want to offend anyone.

Seeing that no one made a sound, Li Yuan looked at King Qin and Dou Wei again, "King Qin, Prime Minister Dou, what do you think?"

Li Shimin's face hesitated, and he did things over and over again. In the case of Dou's private collection of bows and crossbows, he had disobeyed the emperor many times and refuted the prince directly. The emperor against.

Dou Wei's complexion was sullen, a little ugly.

After a while, he cupped his hands and said: "The old minister thinks what Prime Minister Pei said is reasonable. Since the Dou family is involved in this case, the old minister is also duty-bound and should cooperate with the court to catch the real culprit."

He thought about it carefully, and he couldn't bear the price of recalling all Dou's children.He can be delayed, but the children of the Dou family cannot be delayed.

Hearing this, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, a strong hatred rose up.

Li Yuan nodded, "Then follow what Prime Minister Pei said."

Looking away from Dou Wei, Li Jiancheng couldn't hide the smile on his face more and more.
