The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 366

This also made Li Yuanchang understand that his current lawsuit with Li Chengqian will definitely end up being unclear.

Now Li Yuanchang can only pin all his hopes on Qin Qiong, hoping that this upright veteran can speak justice for him.

Not long after, Qin Qiong really came, first bowed to Li Shimin, and then stood aside politely.

Li Shimin hurriedly ordered Wang De to move a chair for Qin Qiong, and let Qin Qiong sit down before answering.

After sitting down, Qin Qiong asked Li Shimin, "The emperor is so anxious to find his ministers, what's the matter?"

"The king of Lu, Li Yuanchang, sued the crown prince, Li Chengqian, and fought against him in the east city of Chang'an. It is said that you were there to maintain order. I wonder if this is true?" Li Shimin asked Qin Qiong.

"It turned out that this was the case, and the minister was indeed present at the time. And His Royal Highness did beat the King of Lu." Qin Qiong said without any concealment.

This made Li Yuanchang very happy, and he hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Now, Your Majesty, you should understand who is lying, right?"

Li Shimin's expression became very solemn at this time, and there was a trace of anger in the eyes looking at Li Chengqian.

However, Qin Qiong said again: "Your Majesty, it is not without reason that His Royal Highness did it. It was only because King Lu slapped His Royal Highness that His Royal Highness was so angry that he slapped King Lu."

As soon as Qin Qiong finished speaking, Li Shimin's face became even colder.And looking directly at Li Yuanchang, he said: "I don't seem to have heard of it, but you beat the prince?"

Li Yuanchang was taken aback at the time, really afraid of something.So he said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince was arrogant and domineering at that time."

"Let the two animals he brought kill the younger brother's adoptive son. When the younger brother learned about this, he didn't want His Royal Highness to do anything."

"I just hope that His Royal Highness will hand over those two beasts to my younger brother, which can be regarded as revenge for my adopted son who died tragically."

"However, even if they are two animals, His Royal Highness is still trying to protect them. He also directly claimed that the younger brother's adopted son is his own fault."

"In the end, I really had no choice but to deal with the two tigers myself. But His Royal Highness used the guards to beat me up again."

"Under such circumstances, the younger brother was angry for a while. He lost his temper in anger and hit His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Yuanchang said to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian: "Is what your Seventh Emperor Uncle said is the truth?"

Li Chengqian nodded directly and said: "Uncle Qihuang is not wrong, but this is not a reason for him to beat his son."

"It is precisely because Uncle Seventh Emperor beat up my minister that I am unwilling to mention this matter to Emperor Father. After all, Uncle Seventh Emperor is Father Emperor's biological brother, so he can't be pushed to the execution ground to kill him, right?"

What Li Chengqian said was really righteous.He lied about himself and said that he was high-spirited and honest, and he didn't want Li Shimin to be embarrassed.

But Qin Qiong on the side frowned, after all, what Li Yuanchang said was against the facts.There are a lot of ingredients in it.

But just as Qin Qiong was about to speak, he saw Li Chengqian winking at him.So he kept silent and sat where he was.

After hearing this, Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "You two have lost all face of the royal family. Both of you are at fault for today's matter."

"The king of Lu beat the prince. Although there was a reason for it, it is also an unforgivable crime. But he was punished afterwards, and he was beaten like this. I will fine you with two years of salary."

"The crown prince, regardless of seniority or inferiority, actually did something to the emperor's uncle. This matter cannot be let go. The crown prince will also be fined for two years' salary."

After hearing this, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but secretly angry.Xin said that Li Shimin was obviously protecting Li Chengqian.This Li Chengqian is so rich that everyone in the enemy country knows it, so what's the use of punishing him with two years' salary.

But Li Yuanchang also knew in his heart that this might be a good result.Otherwise, beating the prince himself would be enough for him to have a good drink.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "My brother knows his mistake, and he is willing to accept the punishment."

Li Chengqian also nodded vaguely, expressing that he did not object to Li Shimin's judgment.But there was a hint of displeasure on his face.

But Li Shimin thought to himself: "I don't follow your will, so what else can you think of to make me abolish your crown prince."

Now that the matter has been dealt with, Li Chengqian naturally took his leave and left.As for Li Yuanchang, he was left behind by Li Shimin, and they chatted about some family matters.

In the end, he left Ganlu Palace with Qin Qiong, but he never thought of it anyway.Someone was waiting for him halfway.

When Li Yuanchang was about to leave Tai Chi Palace, a black shadow rushed out from the wall.Apart from anything else, he just punched Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang never thought that there would be someone so rampant in this Tai Chi Palace.So he was hit hard by this punch.

Just when he wanted to resist, he was ridden by that man, and he was beaten violently with both fists left and right.Li Yuanchang, who was beaten, hugged his head and screamed.

Even Qin Qiong on the side was taken aback, and just wanted to reach out to help Li Yuanchang.But it was found that the one who beat Li Yuanchang was none other than Prince Li Chengqian.

This surprised Qin Qiong, and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​helping.Standing aside, he kept talking and persuading.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive." But how could Li Chengqian care about Qin Qiong's obstruction?Still kept waving his fists.

While beating, he kept yelling: "I will tell you today. If I dare to complain to my father, I will beat you every time I see you."

After beating for a long time, Li Chengqian rubbed his palms and stood up.Then, as if nothing happened, he went directly to the East Palace.

But while walking, he said: "If you dare to complain to Emperor Father again, next time I will break all your ribs."

Looking at Li Chengqian's back, Qin Qiong only had two words in his heart.That is arrogance.

After being stunned for a moment, Qin Qiong shook his head helplessly, and stepped forward to help Li Yuanchang up.And said: "I feel that Ren is calm for a while."

But Li Yuanchang didn't take Qin Qiong's advice to heart.Gritting his teeth while rubbing his sore spot, he said, "Duke Yi, you have seen what happened just now. You have to testify to me."

"It seems that His Royal Highness Lu is going to sue the emperor again, but you'd better consider whether it's appropriate to do so. You should know what the reputation of His Royal Highness is." Qin Qiong tried to persuade him.

"Even if he beats the king to death, the king will hold him back." After finishing speaking, he turned around and headed towards Ganlu hall again.

And Qin Qiong could only shake his head helplessly, and could only follow Li Yuanchang back to the Ganlu Hall.
