Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 347 Must be Above Ten Thousand People
The hall fell into dead silence.

Although the reasons for Chen Shuda's request were not sufficient, they pointed to people's hearts. He seemed to see through the hesitation in the hearts of saints.

The crown prince and King Qi wanted to refute, but they couldn't prove themselves.And because of Li Yuan's previous beatings, Li Jiancheng felt that his father was already suspicious of him, so he really didn't dare to say 'I am innocent and I am willing to accept investigation'.

Dou Kang has already rejected Chen Shuda's proposal, so it is not good to stand directly on the prince's side shamelessly at this time.

He still has face.

Pei Ji, on the other hand, was very smart and directly opposed it.Because he knew very well that the sage didn't want to pursue this matter now. The soldiers of the three armies who were able to return from the battle had already made the sage worried for a while.

As for Pei Ju and Xiao Yu, they seem to be outsiders, neither agreeing nor opposing.They are all smart people, and they are well aware of the grievances between the Prince and the King of Qin. Although they have doubts in their hearts, they are still aware of the saint's attitude of not wanting to pursue it, so they don't want to go along with Chen Shuda.

More importantly, they also knew that King Qin was dead, and it would be too unwise to offend the prince.

Moreover, they are not from King Qin, so why bother to make trouble for themselves.

Yang Gongren completely followed the lead of the King of Chu, and if the King of Chu didn't make a statement, he naturally wouldn't talk nonsense.

The other Chai Shao, Zhao Cijing and others naturally did not dare to express their opinions on this matter.They are not stupid, and they will not offend the prince just to seek justice for the dead.

Li Yuan looked at the prince, "What do you have to say about what Prime Minister Chen said?"

"Father, although I have had many disputes with my second younger brother in the past, I have come to my senses later, how dare I murder my brother, my son wants to save my second brother more than anyone else, and I ask my father to trust me, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

While speaking, Li Jiancheng cried out his loyalty and burst into tears.

Dou Kang bowed his head silently. As a person who accompanied the army to support Bingzhou at that time, he was naturally very aware of the prince's attitude at that time.

However, King Qin is dead, so he has to think about Dou Shi.

Although Dou Wei told him to wait and see and wait for it to become serious, he felt that time was not waiting for him.Even if you can get justice for King Qin, so what?

Without King Qin, Dou's support is meaningless.To offend the prince is to cause trouble for Dou's future.

King Qin is dead, how could the sage kill the prince?
"That's enough, don't cry." Li Yuan was upset by Li Jiancheng's crying, and was even more depressed and in pain.

He wanted to investigate thoroughly, but reason told him he couldn't do that.

If something is found out, what will he do with it?

Immediately, he looked at Li Zhiyun, "King Chu, what do you think of what Chen Xiang said?"

Li Zhiyun knew that he couldn't escape, and Lao Li suspected that the prince and King Qi knew it well. Now that the second brother died again, he would definitely be questioned by Lao Li.

He has been trying to figure out Lao Li's attitude, and now he has a clue.If Lao Li was really furious and really wanted to find out the reason for King Qin's defeat, or even be sure that the prince killed King Qin, then he would have started a thorough investigation long ago, and Chen Shuda would not wait until now to bring it up.

Coupled with what Li Shuliang meant when he returned to Chang'an that day, and Du Ruhui later told himself the purpose of Li Daoxuan coming to Daying, he already understood.

Lao Li wanted stability, and did not want to eradicate the prince and King Qi to avenge King Qin.

In other words, Lao Li suspected the prince and King Qi in his heart, but he didn't want the truth, he wanted stability.

Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun folded his hands and said sadly: "In the past, when I was young, the eldest brother of the crown prince and sister Pingyang took care of me. The second, third and fourth brothers taught my minister how to practice martial arts and archery. The third brother died early, and the second brother So, my son was dreaming in the middle of the night, and his cheeks were wet with tears."

This is an answer that has absolutely nothing to do with the matter in question.

But Lao Li was shocked, as if he was a few years older.

He already understood what King Chu meant.

Regardless of whether King Qin was killed by the prince or not, King Qin is already dead, so should the prince die again?
In this way, how many brothers, who can be left?

King Chu, after all, is the one who cares most about brotherhood.

Li Jiancheng also understood. He was both moved and felt that Goro was too attached to his brotherhood.

Reminiscent of the performance of the Chu kings in the past, Li Jiancheng sighed inwardly. He was fighting to the death with his fellow brother, but he did not expect that only this concubine brother always cared about brotherhood.

Thinking of this, he was a little ashamed and a little happy.

If you can win over the fifth child, it will be reassuring.

Pei Ji wanted to see the traces of acting on Li Zhiyun's face, but Li Zhiyun's acting skills were beyond the mark, how could Pei Ji see anything.

Therefore, Pei Ji and others felt that the King of Chu was wise, but he was too stubborn about his brotherhood.But after thinking about it again, it might not be a good thing for the concubine to be a prince.Talented but unambitious, he can be called a virtuous king.

Li Yuanji pursed his lips in disdain, he didn't understand the key point, he only felt that the fifth child was still living in the old mansion of the Duke of Tang.

Li Yuan thought for a while, and said to Chen Shuda: "I have read the battle report of Bingzhou, and the crown prince did not do enough to support it. So, the crown prince will be fined for one year, and he will not be allowed to be a counselor for court affairs within one year, and he will be forbidden to think about his mistakes in the mansion. "

that's it?
Chen Shuda looked at Li Yuan in disbelief. The crown prince might have killed the King of Qin, so he took it lightly?

Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, his father didn't intend to pursue him anymore!
"My son is willing to accept the punishment. Father and son's lack of support caused the defeat of the King of Qin. My son is willing to stay in the mansion for a year, copy scriptures, pay homage to my second brother, and make amends to him."

Li Yuan nodded, "It's very good that you have the desire to redeem yourself."

Atonement?

Li Jiancheng's expression changed, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

Father, indeed, still doubted him.

Although he didn't know why his father let him go, it didn't stop him from being happy.Although he cannot be a counselor for the government for a year, King Qin is dead. As long as he is still the prince, he will return to the court sooner or later!

Chen Shuda wanted to say something else, but Pei Ji shouted, "Second minister!"

"Second minister!" Dou Kang shouted.

Xiao Yu and Pei Ju also followed suit.

Later, Yang Gongren also seconded the proposal.

Seeing other people agreeing, Chen Shuda felt like a drowning person. Those people stood on the dry bank and looked at him, watching him coldly, but they didn't save him.

He still wants to continue to seek justice for King Qin, but he knows very well that no one supports him, and the saint does not want to continue investigating this matter.

He is doomed to be impotent and furious.

King Qin, I am sorry for you, old minister!
Perhaps Li Shimin would not have thought that the Dou family would abandon him so easily.And his father, for the sake of stability, gave up on him.

But Li Zhiyun was extremely chilled, and even had a trace of fear.

Looking back at the beginning, Li Yuan treated King Qin like a prince. Now that King Qin is dead, Li Yuanming knew there was a problem, but he still chose to downplay it.

This is the emperor, for the sake of power, you can give up everything, and don't care about anything.

Even if that person is his son.

Li Zhiyun knew very well that if one day he ended up like this, Li Yuan would probably ignore him even more.

A man cannot be powerless for a day.

A man can only serve thousands of people, otherwise, his fate is in the hands of others, and once he dies, no one cares about it.

So far, he is sure that he must be above tens of thousands of people, and his own life can only be decided by himself!
Leaving aside the matter of King Qin, Li Yuan himself seemed to let go of one concern.His heart is contradictory and tangled, but in the end stability is more important than anything else.

Erlang's death may really have something to do with Dalang.

But for the sake of the court and the country, he could only do this.

Hope Jiro can understand him.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt a little comforted.
