Man Tanghong

Chapter 442 Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple

Li Xiaogong realized that Li Yuanji was more dangerous than him, so he glanced at Li Yuanji embarrassingly, and slowly sat down.

Seeing that Li Xiaogong was no longer aggressive, Li Yuanji frowned, and his expression eased a bit.

Li Yuanji also sat down, glared at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "If you feel that the matter in Yizhou is dangerous, and you are afraid of getting involved, I can leave it to others."

Without Li Xiaogong, why don’t you eat hairy pigs?
Two princes, two princes from the real power faction plan something together, are you afraid that no one will use it?
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong smiled awkwardly: "Also... I'll do it."

Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong again, and hummed, "Thought it clearly, I didn't force you. Don't turn around and scare yourself, and come and yell at me again."

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong's expression became even more embarrassed, "If you think about it clearly, let me handle it."

Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Xiaogong smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I will never scare myself again, nor will I yell at you."

Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said: "You said this yourself, I didn't force you, if you yell at me next time, don't blame me for being cruel to you."

Li Xiaogong looked down at his hanging arm, and said with a wry smile, "You've already done it."

Li Yuanji gave Li Xiaogong a blank look, and said angrily, "You deserve it!"

Li Xiaogong made a bitter face and did not speak any more.

Reluctantly, Li Yuanji ordered the steward in charge of medicinal materials in Jiudao Palace to bring Li Xiaogong a bone-strengthening herb, and sent Li Xiaogong away.

Although Li Xiaogong was very angry with Li Yuanji today, Li Yuanji broke Li Xiaogong's arm after all.

Li Yuanji was very aware of the strength of his hands, as for Li Xiaogong's body and Li Xiaogong's injury, it would not heal within three to two months.

Because of his slap, Li Xiaogong will be Yang Guo for three or two months, and Li Yuanji feels very sorry.

If Li Xiaogong hadn't been too timid and aggressive, he wouldn't have shown Li Xiaogong's face and made cold remarks to Li Xiaogong.

After dismissing Li Xiaogong, Li Yuanji completely ignored the affairs of Yizhou and the Dou family, and began to focus on the movement in the palace and the situation of Hangu Pass.

After Li Xiuning resolved the crisis at Wei Zeguan, someone died in the palace again.

This time it was no longer the same as before, and there was no disturbance at all.

This time there was a lot of commotion, Li Yuan personally intervened in this matter in his "busy schedule", and strictly ordered Dali Temple to find out a result within seven days.

The reason why there was a lot of commotion this time was not that the dead Xiu Yi had a son by her side, or was favored more, but because she had a good family.

Her natal father was the Marquis of Datang.

Although the title is not top-notch, and it is not enough in Chang'an City where there are many princes and princes like dogs, her natal father was from Li Yuan's personal soldier. He once blocked swords and arrows for Li Yuan when Li Yuan fought against the rebellion for the former Sui Dynasty.

It was precisely because of this that Li Yuan made him a marquis after he ascended the throne.

It was precisely because of this relationship that after her natal father learned that her daughter had died in the palace for no reason, she made a fuss in front of Li Yuan, demanding justice for her daughter no matter what.

What can Li Yuan do in the face of the former soldiers, or the soldiers who have blocked swords and arrows for him?

Naturally, they ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stay in the dark and the Dali Temple in the open to investigate the matter together, to give an explanation to the former soldiers, and to give justice to the daughter of the former soldiers.

Ever since, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple hurriedly investigated.

After five days of investigation, they didn't find any clues, but found out many people in the palace who had dirty hands and feet, or who had done dirty things.

Those with dirty hands and feet, Li Yuan ordered everyone to be rewarded with ten lashes and expelled from the palace.

Those who did dirty things were sent to the private prison of the Ministry of the Interior, and the only thing waiting for them was death.

Li Yuanji sat in the orchid pavilion in Jiudao Palace, sipped tea and listened to the latest news Ling Jing got, he mused and did not speak.

After Ling Jing finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "There are only two days left before the deadline set by the saint for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.

After two days, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple can't find any clues, and the saint will probably be held accountable by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple. "

Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Whether it is the chief and deputy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the chief and deputy of Dali Temple, they are not the kind of people who sit on the table and eat vegetarian food. It is impossible to find out nothing?"

No matter how you say it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the highest yamen in charge of the one-third of an acre of land in Taiji Palace. Except for the people of the Li family and those who are favored by the Li family, the rest of the people in the Taiji Palace can almost be said to be under their control. .

Their eyes and ears should have been all over the Tai Chi Palace long ago.

How could they have no clue about what happened under their noses.

If they couldn't even keep an eye on what happened under their noses, and couldn't find out clearly, then how could Li Yuan use them for four or five years?

There is also Dali Temple, which is the Supreme Court of the Tang Dynasty, and there are not only experts in prison and prison summoned from all over the Tang Dynasty, but also expert investigators from all over the Tang Dynasty.

Although the population in Taiji Palace is large, the mobility is not strong, and the relationship between personnel is also recorded in detail.

If the expert investigators from Dali Temple are dispatched together, not to mention a murder case, even if it is to investigate how many rats are in the Taiji Palace, whether they are male or female, and what characteristics they have, they can find out clearly.

So it is not normal for the people in Dali Temple to find out anything.

"Who knows, the interest has already found out the clue and reported it to the sage, but the sage didn't make it public."

Ling Jing said with an inexplicable expression.

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing, and questioned, "You really think so?"

Ling Jing didn't answer, but asked instead: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Yuanji pondered and said: "I always feel that there is something tricky about this matter..."

This trick does not refer to Li Shimin's plan, but refers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.

One of these two yamen must be tricky, otherwise it would be impossible to find out nothing.

This obviously goes against everyone's perception of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.

Ling Jing suddenly nodded his head and said, "I also think there is something tricky about it."

Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "You mean they really didn't find any clues, and they didn't report any news to my father?"

Ling Jing nodded solemnly.

Ling Jing had someone in the palace. Li Yuanji never asked who he was, where he was, and what information he could find out.

Li Yuanji never doubted the accuracy of Ling Jing's news.

Because so far, Ling Jing's news has not been wrong.

"Then what do you think is tricky?"

Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and asked.

Ling Jing thought about it and said: "I think that someone in these two yamen should have voted for the real culprit who killed Xu Xiuyi. Only in this way, no matter how hard the two yamen investigate, they can't find any clues."

Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully, he thought so too.

Only if someone disrupts the situation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple will find nothing.

And this, or these people who disrupted the situation, must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs or Dali Temple's own people.

Otherwise, he would not be able to interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.

After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the yamen that is directly responsible to Li Yuan, and it is very difficult for outsiders to intervene in it, and only those within them can intervene in their internal affairs.

"Do you think there is a problem with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple?"

Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing and asked again.

If there was only one Yamen that had problems in this matter, it was undoubtedly the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs has enough ability to make Dali Temple unable to find out anything in Taiji Palace, but Dali Temple does not have the ability to make the Ministry of Internal Affairs unable to find out anything in Taiji Palace.

So if only one yamen has a problem, it must be the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The reason why Li Yuanji still asked questions was because he was not sure if there was something wrong with Dali Temple.

Ling Jing stroked his long beard, and murmured thoughtfully: "I think there may be problems with both yamen."

Li Yuanji said: "What about the evidence?"

Ling Jing stroked his long-bearded hand for a while, and said seriously: "Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs can hide certain things in Taiji Palace so that outsiders can't find out, if Dali Temple really wants to find out, they can still do it." Find out some clues.

After all, things are done by people, as long as they are done by people, no matter how clean they are, there will be some traces left.

The people in Dali Temple are best at finding such traces.

As long as they find a little trace, they can use this little trace to tell the saint that there is a ghost in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If the sage still wants to find out this matter, he will definitely ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to step back and let Dali Temple do its best to investigate.

If the sage didn't want to find out about this matter, he would have the people from Dali Temple retreat, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to end the matter hastily.

But now, the people from Dali Temple have not retreated, nor have the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

And they couldn't find any clues.

This shows that they are cooperating to cover up this matter. "

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "So, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple have problems."

Ling Jing nodded solemnly, then looked at Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji didn't say anything more.

Li Yuanji knew that Li Shimin did it behind the scenes, and also knew what Li Shimin's purpose was.

Now the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the people of Dali Temple chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to cooperate with Li Shimin to make things bigger and make things worse to the extent Li Shimin wanted.

That shows that Li Shimin's hand has reached into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.

Li Yuanji was not surprised that Li Shimin was able to reach into Dali Temple.

Li Shimin has countless talented people under him, and he has made a lot of contributions with Li Shimin. If he wants to get an official position in Dali Temple, it is still easy.

What's more, in order to win the big position, in order to win the support of more people, Li Shimin also spared no effort to buy officials from various yamen of the imperial court.

It is also reasonable to buy one or two Dali Temple officials.
