Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

"Secretary Supervisor Wei, Minister of Dali Temple and Dai Shaoqing, now you can interrogate Rieko Morita, I think she will explain some questions, and I will be alone with her after you finish the trial. *" Li Ke said calmly Said, "Also, please ask Dai Shaoqing to make arrangements for this king, I want to chat with Li Siqi."

"The next official takes orders!" Dai Zhou was suddenly awakened by Li Ke's words, and hurriedly replied.

Li Ke also ignored Rieko Morita who bowed his head silently and Wei Zheng and Sun Fujia who were puzzled, and left the interrogation room with Dai Zhou.Dai Zhou arranged for Li Ke to interrogate Li Siqi in the second interrogation room in the dungeon of Dali Temple. In addition to Li Ke, there were also dead jailers and a scribe.The room was dimly lit and the air was somewhat humid. It took Li Siqi a long time to adapt to the environment before him when he was brought in front of Li Ke. When he saw Li Ke, King of Han sitting opposite him, Li Siqi hurriedly greeted Li Ke.

"Vice Envoy Li, please sit down!" Li Ke said politely. As soon as his words fell, the jailer placed the stool in front of him.

Li Siqi was uncertain about his attitude towards Li Ke. He hesitated for a moment, but seeing Li Ke's smile, which seemed to show no hostility towards him, he sat down in peace and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Siqi sat down, and Li Ke continued, "Vice Envoy Li, are you used to living in the dungeon these days?"

Li Ke's words clearly showed disdain and contempt for Li Siqi, but Li Siqi didn't dare to get angry, so he could only bow down and reply, "Returning to Your Highness, although the place is simple, I am used to it."

Seeing the way Li Siqi answered the question, and after listening to Li Siqi's answer, Li Ke had an idea in his mind.He glanced at Li Siqi first, with a regretful expression on his face, then clicked his tongue incessantly, and kept mumbling to himself such things as pity, and waited until Li Siqi was puzzled by his actions before continuing. Said, "I really didn't expect that Dangdang's envoy from Goryeo would do such a rebellious thing because of Princess Fusang's bewitchment."

"It's a pity! It's a pity!" Li Ke continued, "The envoy of Goryeo did such a rebellious thing in Datang, and Datang naturally wanted to discuss it with Goryeo, but" Li Ke said here, paused and continued, "After all , Datang has never been sent to Goryeo, if you want to discuss with Goryeo, you need at least one person who is proficient in all aspects of Goryeo! Hey! What a pity!"

Li Ke's words are obvious. He said at the beginning that the Goryeo envoy was bewitched by Princess Fusang, and then he said that a person who is proficient in all aspects of Goryeo is needed.But he didn't dare to ask Li Ke what he thought in his heart easily, and he was eager to hear Li Ke continue talking.However, when Li Ke said this, he didn't say anything, and seemed to want to stop here, which made Li Siqi very anxious.

Seeing Li Siqi's restless look, Li Ke knew what he was thinking, and the reason why he dared to say such words to make Li Siqi hear the implication was because the meeting just now was a tentative questioning of Li Siqi, which made him discover Li Siqi Li Siqi will not let go of this opportunity to fight for his own personality and personality, as long as it is for his own survival, just like when Li Ke asked him how he lived in the dungeon, he replied that he had the habit of living in the dungeon. It can be seen that he is usually a flattering person.

"Deputy envoy Li, I think you have heard what the king said just now. I wonder if you have any suitable personnel to introduce to the king?" Seeing Li Siqi's hesitation, Li Ke continued.

"Your Highness" Li Siqi suddenly knelt down in front of Li Ke with a "plop", weeping, "Your Highness, please be the master of this little minister! The little minister has been wronged!"

Li Ke's words reached this point, and Li Siqi himself did not dare to hesitate any longer, so he hurriedly called out to Li Ke for grievances, his voice was so loud that the entire dungeon could hear his yelling.

Li Ke did not stop Li Siqi from yelling, but listened to Li Siqi yelling quietly for a long time, and when he was about to shout hoarsely, he yelled, "Bold Li Siqi, why don't you tell the court that you have grievances? Crying in front of the king, okay! This king wants to hear what you have wronged right now. This king tells you that if it is true, this king will definitely make the decision for you. However, if you make something out of nothing and shout grievances indiscriminately, you should Know the consequences."

"Your Highness, what I said is true and there is absolutely no falsehood. Your Highness, please be the master of this little minister! I would like to report to Your Highness, this little minister's grievances are true." Li Siqi paused for a while before concentrating on his emotions and continued. "When Princess Fusang bewitched my Goryeo envoy Gao Shouyan to do something rebellious, I really didn't know anything about it. Later, when I found out about their despicable deeds and wanted to inform the officials of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Gao Shouyan. He threatened Xiaochen that if Xiaochen dared to say a word of what they did, he would push all the matter to Xiaochen. Xiaochen knew that he was just a deputy. As an envoy, Gao Shouyan is the envoy, his words carry more weight than the words of the minister, so the minister concealed everything he knew under his threat."

Having said this, Li Siqi suddenly shouted loudly, "Your Highness, please make the decision for the little minister! The little minister was persecuted by Gao Shouyan, and he was wronged!"

What Li Ke wanted was Li Siqi's words. He glanced at the clerk beside him and saw that the clerk had recorded Li Siqi's words verbatim, so he asked sternly, "Li Siqi, as the envoy of Korea, do you I should know the content of what I said, and now I will ask you again, is what you just said true?"

"Your Highness, what I said is true, and I hope Your Highness will be the master for this little minister!" Li Siqi continued to cry out.

"Whether you have been wronged or not, this king will check it out!" Li Ke said righteously, "As long as you prove that what you said is true, this king will definitely give you justice, not only pardoning all the crimes you were framed for, but also allowing you You return to Koryo to return to your mission. However, if this king finds out that what you said is nonsense, this king will never let you go."

Li Ke's words are obviously telling Li Siqi that as long as you are obedient, I will let you go back to China, and I will let you complete the tasks assigned to you by Goryeo and return to your life.Therefore, when Li Siqi heard Li Ke's words, not only did he not show panic, but instead he worked harder and shouted righteously.

"Li Siqi!" Li Ke yelled to stop Li Siqi's crying. Now that he had reached an agreement with Li Siqi, it was time to start interrogating Li Siqi for the answer he wanted, so he said in a stern tone, "Since you are calling for injustice, then Now tell me all the novels you know verbatim~ and tell me how Gao Shouyan threatened you, and how he was bewitched by Princess Fusang, and you have to answer truthfully."

"Your servant obeys your orders, and you absolutely dare not lie to Your Highness!" Li Siqi shouted in a respectful tone, and then he explained how Li Ke asked him how he was threatened by Gao Shouyan, and how Gao Shouyan was bewitched by Princess Fusang question.

Li Siqi spoke in great detail, and it took a whole stick of incense to record his confession. After Li Siqi finished his confession, Li Ke asked the clerk next to him if he could record it. The clerk bowed and answered yes, and Li Ke will record After flipping through the dossier and correcting a few few issues, he signed Li Siqi's name on the dossier.When Li Ke finished all this, Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou in the two rooms also finished interrogating Fusang Princess Morita Rieko.

Looking at the confession confessed by Morita Rieko in front of him, Li Ke smiled.

When Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou looked at Li Siqi's confession, they almost cried.

The reason why Li Ke laughed was that Morita Rieko's confession still left a lot of suspicious things that he didn't explain clearly, and the reason why Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou wanted to cry was that Li Siqi's confession was exactly the same as what they had tried in court. It's not the same, not only different, it's just the opposite.

Li Ke looked at the distressed faces of Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou, and wanted to laugh but couldn't.Because, Li Siqi's confession was false, and the confession put all the responsibility on Gao Shouyan, and added a charge of threatening his subordinates to engage in treason and immorality, which was entirely out of Li Ke's own consideration.

Because Li Ke clearly remembered that Li Shimin failed to conquer Korea three times in his later years. Besides many other reasons, another important reason was Gao Shouyan's shamelessness.Because this person played the role of grass on the fence and a wolf with a big tail in the war between Tang and Goryeo. When the Tang army surrounded the Goryeo army and couldn't beat it, he chose to surrender, and after surrendering, he took the opportunity to rebel and attack the Tang army. It has reached the point of being shameless and insidious, so Li Ke wants to get rid of this trouble in advance.

But the crime Gao Shouyan committed now is not enough to put him to death, and Li Shimin will not kill Gao Shouyan indiscriminately just because of Li Ke's few words, so Li Ke will get along with such a method, using Li Siqi His confession expanded his crimes, and he wanted to behead him in Datang to avoid future troubles.

"Since Rieko Morita has explained the problem, I will go and talk to her now! I hope I can get all the valuable things." Li Ke said to Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou who were distressed in front of them, "As for , Li Siqi’s file of calling for injustice, you should also take a good look at it and study it carefully. Since he dared to say that he was threatened by the wronged Gao Shouyan, then we can’t take this matter lightly and wronged a good person. We still need to investigate seriously. .”

"No!" Wei Zheng, Sun Fujia, and Dai Zhou said respectfully. The three of them have been hit twice today, and they are very guilty of their own carelessness. I began to admire Li Ke.
