Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 118 Li Shimin's Trivia
Under the fiery eyes of the officials in the palace, Li Tai, the little fat man, told the emperor the whole story of the first scientific examination fraud case in Zhenguan Dynasty.

He also asked the emperor to send 27 officials headed by Xue Zishou to Dongshi, and other participants were punished according to law.

The movement of the Ministry of Punishment and the Jinwu Guard was so loud, these "sight-sighted" people in the court naturally knew about it, and most of the people who were arrested were Li Yuan's old department and the offshoots of several aristocratic families.

In this way, many courtiers and aristocratic families put on a full posture, waiting to see how they will play against the increasingly powerful emperor Li Shimin, and they are short of benches and melon seeds.

But what surprised everyone, except for Xiao Yu and a few censors, almost no one questioned this matter.

Some people even took the initiative to admit that they were not strict with their children and had committed the crime of negligence. If they asked the emperor to punish them, Li Shimin would naturally comfort them with kind words.

Have these people switched to vegetarianism? Of course not, the case is solidly proven, and what they can do is to cut off the wrists of strong men.

And just before going to court, the Wang family also deliberately asked Li Tai to withdraw the marriage, saying that his daughter was seriously ill and getting worse, and it was a big mistake to delay Wei Wang's marriage.

It is also reasonable for the Wang family to think so, anyway, it is a side concubine, you can kill your relatives righteously, we don't even bother to marry you.

Besides, Your Royal Highness the King of Wei is engaged to the daughter of Yan Lide's family, so don't expect me to help you if you have something to do in the future.

For Li Tai, what the Wang family did was a dangerous signal, indicating that the aristocratic family that was optimistic about him would keep a distance from him from now on.

Li Chengqian helped himself this time, but from another perspective, he also hurt himself.

After Li Chengqian left the Chengqing Palace that day, Li Tai, who had suffered countless small mouths from the emperor, finally understood that he had to be strong himself to forge the iron, and those aristocratic families were indeed unreliable.

No wonder Li Chengqian has always been wary of them, he shouldn't hook up with these aristocratic families just because of the petty profits in front of him.

Li Shimin asked him to deal with the aftermath of the scientific research case this time. It may not be an opportunity for him to use it to divide his subordinates. Those are the real ones.

As the chief examiner this time, Xiao Yu naturally had to bear all the responsibilities.Then under the protection of Li Tai and others, the emperor also raised the board in his hand high and gently put it down.

He was deprived of the title of Song Guogong and the official positions of Yushi Dafu and Jin Ziguanglu, and he was demoted to serve Yushi in the palace and make meritorious deeds.

The scene in front of him was of course discussed by the emperor and the little fat man. If Xiao Yu's crimes were investigated according to law, Li Tai would not be able to escape.

Otherwise, if he could be let off so easily, it would be extremely light to confiscate his family and send him into exile.

And just when all the officials thought that the game ended with the emperor winning, Wei Zheng walked out of the class.

"Your Majesty, the old minister received an anonymous memorandum yesterday, which said that in order to win honor and favor, Zu Xiaoli, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, dedicated Li Yuan's concubine room to His Majesty. May I ask Your Majesty whether this is true."

Wei Zheng's words made Li Shimin's face flush instantly, who brought this matter to Wei Zheng.

Li Yuan was conspired with Li Xiaochang and was killed. Now that Wei Zheng is holding this memorial, doesn't it mean that he killed himself and married his wife, then Li Yuan was wronged to death by himself.

The officials in the hall also exploded after hearing Wei Zheng's words, and started discussing one after another.

"Xuancheng, since it's anonymous, it's nothing. As the king of a country, how could I do this.

Li Yuan's family members were indeed dispatched to the Jiaofang Division, so after they were appointed to court, I will ask the people from Taichang Temple to cooperate with you in the investigation.Let's see who dares to slander Father Jun like this. "

I don't know if Wei Zheng has a lack of brain, but he agreed immediately.

Who doesn't know the little hobby of the emperor, from Princess Qi to Empress Xiao, that's not what he did, so do you need to check it?
Seeing the emperor walking into the Lizheng Hall with an angry face, Empress Changsun immediately asked the palace staff to take Li Lizhi and Li Zhi out.

"Is there anything wrong with your Majesty?" Empress Changsun walked behind Li Shimin and asked while loosening his muscles.

After a long sigh, Li Shimin with a gloomy face said, "We'll talk about it when Cheng Qian comes."

Later, when Li Chengqian walked into Lizheng Hall, Empress Changsun gave him a cautious look.

"I have seen my father." Li Shimin, who was upset, still cared about these vain rituals, nodded and asked, "You know what happened today, right?"

Uh, this is so embarrassing. My father asked his son what to do if the incident happened in front of his wife. This is really painful.

In fact, Li Shimin can't be blamed for this, he can't ask his advisers for advice about the harem, it's not shameful enough.

After thinking about it, he still felt that it would be safer to ask his son. As for why he didn't summon Li Chengqian in the Chengqing Hall, it was because Gan Yun was there for investigation.

Because apart from Zu Xiaoli and Wang Gui, the only ones who can reveal this forbidden Chinese language are the palace servants who are on duty in the Chengqing Palace.

"I heard about it." Li Chengqian naturally didn't dare to say anything about this kind of thing.Firstly, this is not something glorious, and secondly, the inner palace is under the control of Empress Changsun, so she is also responsible for this kind of thing.

No matter how you look at it, the son does not say anything about the father's faults. He is still satisfied with Li Chengqian's cautious reply.

The father and son playing riddles like this confused the eldest grandson, what's the matter.

"Ganer, why are there so few words today?" Mother's curiosity was naturally to be satisfied, otherwise it would be her own ears who would suffer, coughing and coughing and telling the story of the court.

"Your Majesty, it is dereliction of duty for the concubine to leak out the affairs of the inner palace so easily. Please forgive me."

Her kneeling made the emperor who couldn't hold back his face even more embarrassing, and she quickly got up to comfort her: "Guanyin maidservant, I can blame you for this, get up quickly, don't catch a cold."

Li Chengqian couldn't help but get goosebumps all over their husband and wife. In order not to suffer from the mixed doubles of the two of them, Li Chengqian raised his head high and pretended that he didn't hear anything.

"Tell me how to deal with the aftermath of this incident." When something like this happens, those caring people and the families who just suffered because of the scientific research will definitely not let this opportunity go. prestige.

Hearing the emperor's question, Li Chengqian couldn't help but have a toothache, how could he support this move.

After gritted his teeth: "Father, there are countless examples of collusion between palace officials and foreign ministers in the past dynasties. No one can truly prevent this situation, so."

"Of course I know this truth. Your mother has always been my virtuous housemate. Do you need to say that?"

He and his eldest grandson are a couple in need, and they have shared joys and sorrows together for many years.If there is only one person left in this world who can be trusted, then this person will only be the eldest grandson.
