Chapter 354 Uncover the mastermind behind the scenes
"How did what I asked you to do last night go?" Li Zheng looked at Zhao Ming and asked.

"Return to the general."

"The evidence of the crime has been obtained and the people around Kong Xian have been controlled."

"He has no way to survive." Zhao Ming said immediately.

"The day after tomorrow will be the day when Kong Xian will die."

"Moreover, I want everyone in the world to despise him."

"This is the price for being my enemy." Li Zheng sneered.

"Did Kong Xian really do the assassination?" Qin Jiansheng asked.

"Besides him, there are naturally others."

"It's just that he was the stupidest and left a clue."

"It's not like some people who didn't leave behind any trouble." Li Zheng said.

He was poisoned and assassinated in Nanzhao Prison.

All Li Tai's dead soldiers died, leaving no clues.

Then the bandits attacked, carrying dead soldiers with them.

Li Zheng knew without even thinking that it was Kong Xian and Su Tan who did it, but Su Tan was smarter and didn't leave any clues.

Finished dinner.

Brother Qin Jiansheng went back, and it was conceivable that they could not calm down.

"Wan'er."

"Do you understand me?"

Li Zheng turned his head and looked at Qin Wan'er beside him.

"Brother Zheng, we are husband and wife."

"No matter what we do, we live and die together."

"I will always support Brother Zheng." Qin Waner looked at Li Zheng with her beautiful eyes and said tenderly.

"imperial power."

"Is it really that easy to grasp?"

Li Zheng raised his hand and looked at his palm, thoughtfully.

……

One day passed.

Very peaceful.

Li Zheng also spent a day recuperating in the mansion, and studied the Creator's abilities with his wives and concubines.

Naturally, everyone gets something.

Simultaneously.

Li Zheng also named his newly born son.

Li Cheng.

Plus this young son.

Li Zheng already has three sons and one daughter.

This year, Li Zheng was not yet nineteen years old.

The meeting opens.

outside the hall.

All the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty were already standing in rows.

Li Zheng stood as the fourth general.

The first person headed was Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, followed by Yuchi Jingde and Qin Jiansheng.

The civil servants are headed by Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and the other six ministers, and then they stand according to official rank and title.

Equivalent to the official positions in the Tang Dynasty, they are in the form of a pyramid.

"The Emperor is at court."

"All officials are here to meet you."

Wang De's voice came from the hall.

All the officials were primping their clothes and walking towards the main hall in an orderly manner.

A court meeting is held once every three days, starting again.

above the hall.

Li Shimin was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, looking down.

"I see you, Your Majesty. May our Emperor live long, long live," the civil and military officials of the court shouted in unison.

"Flat body."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

There was also a smile on his face.

His prince had regained his memory, and even though two days had passed, his excitement still hadn't calmed down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers said in unison.

"There is a foundation to start the memorial, but there is no foundation to disperse the dynasty." Wang De shouted loudly.

"Let's start playing, Your Majesty."

"I have this memorial."

Li Zheng stood up directly and said loudly.

"What is your original performance?" Li Shimin asked with a slight smile.

"My lord, we have found out who was behind the assassination attempt on our way home," Li Zheng said loudly. "Who is it?" Li Shimin frowned.

in the hall.

Su Tan and Kong Xian were panicking when they read.

Li Zheng turned around slowly and looked at Kong Xian indifferently. Then he raised his finger and pointed at him: "That's him, Duke Yan Sheng, Kong Xian."

"It's over."

Su Tan's heart sank.

He understands.

This was Li Zheng's first shot against them.

the day before yesterday.

Crown Princess Su told him that they knew Li Zheng's true identity, but they did not dare to tell him because once they told him, it would not only make all the courtiers who originally supported Li Zheng change their minds, but it would also be more detrimental to their situation.

Although they didn't understand why the emperor hadn't made Li Zheng's identity public yet, Su Tan and the others thought that this was their last chance.

"Li Zheng...you...you are slanderous." Kong Xian's old face was filled with anger, and he also pointed at Li Zheng and angrily yelled.

But deep down in his heart, he was already panicking at this moment.

"Shixiu surrenders, Duke Kong."

"Are you really perfect at what you do?"

"Late the night before yesterday, I have just returned to the court."

"You dealt with a servant late at night. Is it true that no one knew about it?" Li Zheng sneered.

"I...I don't know what you are talking about."

Kong Xian also had a panic look on his face, but he held on and looked at Li Shimin: "Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin didn't speak, but looked at Kong Xian coldly.

He sent someone to assassinate his prince.

What a courageous person.

J.

Li Shimin will never let anyone go who dares to attack his emperor.

"Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the Emperor will never let Kong Xian go." Su Tan's heart sank, and he understood the consequences.

"Kong Xian."

"You really can't see the coffin without crying."

Li Zheng sneered: "Don't worry, since I stand here in the court today to impeach you, I have enough evidence."

"Bring it up."

Li Zheng shouted outside the hall.

echoed.

Several Yulin Army officers brought a few people up.

Kong Xian turned his eyes. When he saw these people, his expression changed drastically and his whole body was trembling.

Especially the servant Kong Lin who should have been buried alive is now standing in the hall alive, and so are his housekeepers and the few servants responsible for the burial.

"Tell me everything."

Li Zheng looked at the visitor and said coldly.

"Start...start playing to the Emperor."

"I am a servant of the Kong Mansion. A few months ago, under the master's order, I went to the southern border and Jingzhou Mansion and other places to look for bandits. I was promised a lot of money to ambush General Li Zheng."

"A few days ago, General Li Zheng returned to the court. I was afraid that the news would be leaked, so he had me buried alive. Fortunately, General Li Zheng sent someone to rescue me."

"The assassination of General Li on his way back was all done by me."

"Please give me a clear warning, Your Majesty."

Kong Lin knelt on the ground and said in fear.

"This matter."

"Young man...Young man can also testify."

The housekeeper of Kong Mansion and the servants also knelt down and agreed.

"You... you..."

Kong Xian raised his hand, trembling and responsible for these people, who were completely panicked in their hearts.

When he turned his head, he looked at Li Shimin's extremely cold eyes on the dragon throne.

Kong Xian trembled all over, and was frightened to the ground.

"Zhang Gongjin."

"What is the crime for assassinating the lord of the dynasty and an important minister of the country?" Li Shimin looked directly at Zhang Gongjin, the Minister of Punishment.

Zhang Gongjin stood up and replied loudly: "Behead him and send the whole clan into exile."

Kong Xian's face turned paler.

"Practice."

"Depose Kong Xian as the Duke of the country, seize all official positions, immediately put him in jail, and hand him over to the bad guys for personal trial."

"Kong Xian's entire clan was imprisoned."

Li Shimin shouted coldly.

There was no hesitation and no intention of listening to any excuses.

If you dare to deal with your own prince, you will die.

Kong Xian collapsed on the ground, his whole body shaking violently. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he was too scared to say a word.
