Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 221 The past cannot be recalled

Regarding the case of Dou's private collection of bows and crossbows, Li Yuan won a complete victory.

He temporarily drove Dou Wei and Dou Kang out of the Political Affairs Hall at the same time, and dealt a severe blow to the prestige of the Guanlong people.

The prince made a small profit, because this case was not made an iron case by him, but was forcibly changed by the king of Qin and handed over to the king of Chu for retrial.However, the two Dou Xiang left the court at the same time, and he still made a small profit.

As for King Qin and the Dou family, they suffered heavy losses.

The king of Qi, Li Yuanji, made no profit or loss, and continued to be silly with his elder brother.

Li Zhiyun, king of Chu, continued to fish in troubled waters.

Does the truth of the case matter?

It doesn't matter, the case has no answer at all.

To solve this case, there is only one way, Dou's imitation of Dugu's, and give in to Lao Li.

The crux is not what the truth is, but what Li Yuan wants.

If Mrs. Dou doesn't bow her head and leave the Zhengshitang for a day, the case will be delayed forever.

Li Zhiyun saw it very clearly, he didn't need to find out the truth that didn't exist at all, as long as he slowly passed away, when Dou confessed, the case would automatically end.

Of course, he still has to guard against the first-hand and second-brother meddling and forcing him to help Dou get rid of the crime.However, this approach requires Lao Li's consent.

Others, huh, huh, not important.

After the next court, Li Zhiyun stood on the steps and did not move for a long time. When a group of officials approached him, Li Zhiyun suddenly sighed heavily.

"Ugh!"

The voice was so loud that all the courtiers looked sideways.

Then, they saw Li Zhiyun descending the steps dejectedly.

"What's wrong with King Chu?"

"Do you still need to ask? It's a headache."

"That's right. This case is not so easy to investigate. The king of Chu must have been affected by Chi Yu."

"The king of Chu is also quite difficult. There is the prince on one side and the king of Qin on the other. I guess he is too. Oh, let's not talk about it. Let's walk around. Miss Yingying from Pingkangfang has a new song, let's go quickly."

"Go together, go together!"

The courtiers left together, revealing the figures of King Qin, Dou Wei, and Dou Kang.

The courtiers had a conversation just now, and they naturally listened to them.

"I offended Zhiyun this time." Li Shimin shook his head lightly. He didn't know that the King of Chu's proposal to recall Dou's children was actually an angry attitude.

Dou Kang said coldly: "The King of Chu is too ruthless to ask all Dou's children to cooperate with him in investigating the case."

"Okay." Dou Wei interrupted him, and said in a low voice: "The crux of this case is not the king of Chu, don't say these useless words anymore, let's go back."

Li Shimin said with shame: "Shimin is incompetent and failed to help Mrs. Dou."

Dou Kang shook his head, gratefully said: "Your Highness has done his best, I don't know, no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails, Dou will remember His Highness's help. Please don't feel burdened by Your Highness."

"Okay, I've made a note of it."

Saying goodbye to Dou Wei and Dou Kang, Li Shimin hurried away, wanting to catch up with the King of Chu, but he didn't expect someone to catch up with him first.

Not far away, the crown prince and the king of Qi were stopping the king of Chu and talking.

He clenched his fist and walked over without saying a word.

"Second brother."

"King Qin."

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother." Li Shimin looked at Li Zhiyun and apologized: "Zhiyun, this case is complicated and should not have involved you, but the two prime ministers are the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. Can make them innocent."

If I return their innocence, who the hell will return my innocence?

If this case can't be found out, it's because of his incompetence.If you really find out, you will offend Lao Li and the prince.

Fuck it!
The culprit was Li Er Er in front of him.

"Second brother, don't talk about it, I will try my best." Li Zhiyun's eyes turned red slightly, feeling infinitely wronged.Why should his brothers show off their stunts in court, so he can only be beaten passively and clean up the mess.

Li Yuanji patted Li Zhiyun's shoulder and said with emotion: "Fifth Brother, Fourth Brother, I'm not wrong. In this world, there are always some bad-hearted people who tell you to be careful, but you just don't listen. You, you are too sincere. Sooner or later, you will suffer!"

Li Shimin's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, "King Qi, shut up!"

"Why do you want to keep your mouth shut?" Li Yuanji raised his face with a lowly face, "Why? Allow people to do it, but not let others talk about it?"

"You!" The veins on Li Shimin's forehead bulged out of anger, wishing to tear Li Yuanji's stinking mouth open.

Fight!Fight!
Li Zhiyun wished that they would fight to the death immediately.

"Cough cough." Li Jiancheng coughed twice, dispelling the atmosphere full of gunpowder. He looked at Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, you really shouldn't cover up Dou this time."

"Help?" Li Shimin sneered, "Brother, although the Tang Dynasty is powerful now, but based in Guanlong, such slander of the Dou family will only make the people of Guanlong alienated. The world has not yet been unified, but we doubt our own people. This is by no means a long-term The way. Eldest brother is the crown prince, the king of Qi is acting recklessly and doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter, don’t you understand, elder brother?”

The king of Qi lay down the gun innocently.

Li Zhiyun sighed silently in his heart, who doesn't understand the truth, it's just that everyone has a different standpoint, since you and Dou's approached, don't blame the prince for rejecting you and Dou's.

How could Li Jiancheng turn a blind eye to the lessons learned from Yang Yong and Yang Guang in the former Sui Dynasty.

Li Jiancheng's face turned cold for a moment, and he said bluntly: "Guan Long is not from the Dou family, and the second younger brother should not listen to one side and believe on the other. The lesson from the Sui Dynasty is right in front of you, I hope you will keep it in mind."

After saying that, he looked at Li Zhiyun, "Zhiyun, if you need anything, you can always inform Donggong, and I will definitely help you with all my strength."

"Thank you bro."

"Ah."

Li Jiancheng took Li Yuanji away.

Li Shimin looked away from Li Jiancheng and looked at Li Zhiyun.

"Fifth Brother, what happened this time is by no means as simple as what Dali Temple found out. I shouldn't have involved you. I hope you can understand me."

Li Zhiyun sighed in a low voice, and said sincerely: "Second brother, although the younger brother is always scolded by Ye Ye for being ignorant, he is not a fool. The elder brother is not happy about this incident, and I hope the second brother will take more care of it. Our four brothers I should assist Yeye to rule the world as soon as possible. It really shouldn’t be like this. I will never forget that when I was young and just started practicing martial arts, it was the elder brother who helped the younger brother to mount a horse and taught him how to ride a horse. It was the second elder brother who taught the younger brother swordsmanship. The fourth brother taught the younger brother to bow and arrow, and sister Xiuning applied the wound medicine to the younger brother, the second brother, why did we become like this?"

At the end, Li Zhiyun's tone seemed to be crying.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was slightly taken aback, his thoughts surging.

Ten years ago, when they were still in Tang Guogong's mansion, the scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other was lingering in front of their eyes.

At that time, the eldest brother was very stable and took good care of his younger siblings.

At that time, the third brother was still there, and Zong and the fourth brother went out hunting and messing around.

At that time, Zhiyun was still young, and he always played with sister Xiuning, like a little tail. Whenever the brothers played tricks on Zhiyun, sister Xiuning would teach him and the third brother like a tigress fourth brother.

But in a blink of an eye, everything changed.

He breathed out lightly, and patted Li Zhiyun on the shoulder, "Zhiyun, you are still young and don't understand. When you understand later, you will know."

After speaking, he stepped away.

Looking at Li Shimin's back, the red in Li Zhiyun's eyes gradually dissipated.

He looked at the majestic palace and laughed at himself.

"Brother? Huh."

Harem.

Li Yuan sat alone, looking at the sky outside the window, sighed for a long time, and looked away.

He will always remember that in the years when the world was peaceful, there were a few noisy children in Tang Guogong's mansion.

Xiu Ning loves the sick Xuan Ba ​​and Xiao Yao Zhi Yun the most.

Yuan Ji is always envious of his wife's love for Shimin.

Jiancheng is taciturn, but he is very protective of his younger siblings.

In today's court, the brothers were also noisy, but he couldn't be happier anymore.

The past cannot be recalled, and it only teaches people to be sad.
