The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 38
At this moment, Li Shimin's expression became extremely gloomy, he looked directly at Li Tai and asked, "Should you give me an explanation?"

No matter what, Li Tai never expected this result.Originally thought that forging the seal of the Eastern Palace would at least make Li Chengqian guilty of lax governance.

But now he made himself very passive, but Li Tai knew it in his heart.In any case, I can't admit that this contract was forged by myself.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, you can't rely on the one-sided words of His Highness the Crown Prince. It is concluded that this matter was not done by him."

"Father, my son can take out the purchase contracts of other shops. After reading it, Father will naturally understand who is telling the story." Li Chengqian said, glaring at Li Tai.

In fact, Li Shimin at this time already understood that all this was done by Li Tai.After all, Li Tai had always troubled Li Chengqian before.And the motivation for all this is the position of the prince.

If Li Chengqian was really asked to produce evidence, then Li Tai would not be able to justify the crime of framing the prince.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, please ask Rong Chen to interrogate the manager of this shop."

Seeing Li Shimin nodded, Changsun Wuji came to the shopkeeper and asked, "Are you sure that the person who bought your shop was sent by His Royal Highness?"

"You have to think about it. This matter is related to the innocence of His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Yue. If you talk nonsense, you will inevitably implicate the nine clans."

How could everyone in the Tai Chi Hall fail to recognize that Changsun Wuji was threatening the shopkeeper.But none of the crowd spoke out to expose Changsun Wuji.

Because they knew that if they did that, it would definitely not be Changsun Wuji who would offend him.It was Li Shimin on the dragon chair.

At this time, the shopkeeper was already trembling with fright, so he said in a trembling voice: "The person here claims to be His Royal Highness, and the contract for the grassroots also has the seal of the Eastern Palace."

"As for whether their identities are true or not, Cao Min is just a lowly businessman. How dare they check it out?"

"Since you are not sure that they are from the Eastern Palace, why do you dare to come to the Tai Chi Hall to sue the Prince? Could it be that you were instructed by someone?" Changsun Wuji asked sharply.

"No... no one... no one ordered... ordered the grassroots." The shopkeeper was so frightened that he couldn't even finish his sentence.

"It seems that you won't be able to recruit without a severe punishment. Someone, pull him down and beat him thirty times." Changsun Wuji said angrily.

Immediately, even if the forbidden army stepped forward and pulled the shopkeeper down, soon there were screams of pain from outside the Tai Chi Hall.But soon, the sound stopped.

"Report to the emperor, that man was not able to be tortured, and he died of exhaustion." The imperial army came to the Jinluan Hall and said to Li Shimin.

Hearing that the shopkeeper was dead, Li Shimin's face showed a trace of relief.Then he said: "Changsun Wuji, I have appointed you to thoroughly investigate this case, and I must find out the person behind the scenes."

"I obey the order, and I will bring to justice those who framed His Highness the Crown Prince. Let those with ulterior motives know what the result of framing His Highness the Crown Prince will be." Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded, and then said to Li Tai: "The king of Yue, Li Tai, listened and believed, and almost caused the crown prince to be wronged. Although you didn't do it intentionally, you have to be punished."

"From now on, you will face the wall in the palace and think about your mistakes, and no one is allowed to visit."

In fact, Li Chengqian knew in his heart that it was impossible for Li Shimin to punish Li Tai severely.However, Li Chengqian was not ready to let it go.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Father, those who framed my sons and officials must be brought to justice. Otherwise, the majesty of the prince of the Tang Dynasty will soon be lost."

"The king of Yue misunderstood the slander, and openly impeached his ministers in the Taiji Palace. It is also an expression of extreme disrespect to the ministers, and please punish the emperor."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Shimin's face became a little ugly.He opened his mouth and asked Li Chengqian: "Then I don't know how the crown prince thinks, how should Li Tai be punished?"

"Father has already grounded the king of Yue, which is regarded as a punishment. However, my son thinks that he and my son should enjoy the same treatment that day." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian's words made Li Shimin a little confused.Looking at Li Chengqian with a puzzled expression, he didn't know whether he should agree to Li Chengqian.

"I remember that my father restricted my son's feet that day, but even my son's diet was also restricted. The taste of the boiled vegetables is still fresh in my memory." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.Then he opened his mouth and said: "Notify Shangshi Bureau that during the period of King Yue Li Tai's confinement, the diet will be configured according to the low-level palace people."

This time Li Tai's complexion became even more ugly, this Li Tai is definitely the master of all kinds of flesh and blood.Otherwise, it will not be eaten like a meat ball.

……

"Do you feel that I am unfair in dealing with things today, deliberately favoring your fourth brother?" Li Shimin in the Palace of Ganlu asked Li Chengqian.

"Father, my minister said that I would not do things like cooking beans to burn Osmunda." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin indifferently.

"Okay, with your words, I feel at ease." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

"But should the father give some compensation to the minister?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin and said with a smile.

"I know you won't suffer, kid. Tell me, how can I compensate you?" Li Shimin said with a helpless smile.

"My son's Yiqiu Palace has begun to be rebuilt. My son hopes that the emperor will agree, no matter what the son will build the Yiqiu Palace. The father will not punish the son." Li Chengqian said to Li Shimin.

"As long as I don't let you get money, you can build Yiqiu Palace into the Lingxiao Palace. I won't bother." Li Shimin said indifferently.

In the near future, Li Shimin really regrets what he said today.But even if he regretted it, it would be useless.

"Father mentioned money, and my son just happened to have something to ask Father." Li Chengqian said.

"Could it be related to money?" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"That's right, it has something to do with money. I wonder if my father thinks money is important?" Li Chengqian nodded and asked.

"Money is of course important. As small as a family or as large as a country, you can't live without money. Otherwise, there won't be so many people losing their heads for money." Li Shimin said.

"I also feel that money is very important, so I feel that I should find a way to make money. But I am afraid that those censors will be impeached. Father, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Li Chengqian said with a heartbroken expression.
