Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

449 Trouble

Tai Chi Palace.

The main hall of the Eastern Palace.

Li Jing had just led Yan Lingbin and Youniang back, when he saw Liu Rong and Li Xiaogong waiting here with serious faces.

"My minister has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Xiaogong led the three of them to salute first.

Li Jing's eyelids jumped when he saw it.

Hastily stepped forward to help Li Xiaogong up, and said affectionately: "How can Uncle Xiaogong be so polite.

You are the Dinghaishenzhen of my Tang Dynasty, and it is only right that my nephew greets you first. "

Dinghaishenzhen? !

The corners of Li Xiaogong's mouth twitched when he heard this.

He loves watching theaters recently, so how could he not know what Li Jing was talking about.

But he only wanted to be an idle prince, not Datang's Dinghaishenzhen.

If Li Shimin misunderstood that he had such great ambitions, wouldn't all his pretending to be crazy these days be in vain?

"His Royal Highness, you are very polite.

This humble minister really can't afford such a compliment from His Highness. "

Li Xiaogong shook his head hastily, and said anxiously: "I came here this time to report the progress of the envoy's case to Your Highness."

"Hahaha~

Uncle Xiao Gong laughed.

The case was personally supervised by the father, so if Uncle Wang had any clues, he could just report it to the father, so why did he need to talk to his nephew. "

Li Jing cursed in his heart.

Without hesitation, he led Yan Lingbin and the two of them to turn around and leave.

Although he still doesn't know why Su Wo Anzuo died, but he thinks there must be something inside.

For such troublesome things, he has always avoided them.

"His Royal Highness!"

Seeing Li Jing leaving resolutely, Li Xiaogong hurriedly raised his hand and called out: "Your Highness doesn't know something, but your subordinates are very helpful.

Just before the severe punishment was imposed, the eldest brother Wang of the mountain back of the country of Wo died of fright, and the princess Bao Huang also bowed her head and pleaded guilty. "

"What did you say?!"

Li Jing suddenly stopped.

Looking back at Liu Rong, who was hanging his head and saying nothing, he asked with a headache, "Old Liu, did you really kill the big brother at the back of the mountain?"

Liu Rong prostrated after hearing the words: "It is a crime to be humble, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Ugh!"

Seeing this, Li Jing sighed, frowned and said helplessly, "Tell me, what happened?"

Liu Rong raised his head and replied with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness.

I don't know the depth of my humble job, so I took the initiative to interrogate by waterboarding.

The eldest brother Wang at the back of the mountain was too weak to be tortured but died.

Seeing this, Princess Bao did not dare to quibble, and frankly admitted that Su Wo Anzuo was killed by the elder brother Wang Shanbei.

She was worried about being punished by the court, so she just sent guards to pretend to be killers to escape. "

"Um?

If so, what are you guilty of? "

Li Jing was overjoyed when he heard the words, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Brother Shanbei violated the laws of our Great Tang by killing people in our Great Tang territory.

Even if you kill him on the spot, you are only killing harm for the people. "

"Your Highness.

The eldest brother of Shanbei is the eldest prince of the Wa Kingdom, and I, the Tang Dynasty, should give him some face in terms of love and reason. "

Li Xiaogong frowned and persuaded.

If other people were tortured but died, he certainly wouldn't care so much.

But the big brother of Shanbei has different identities after all, so such actions will inevitably cause disputes between the two countries.

"Humph!

Killing for life is the most reasonable thing in the world.

Even if he is a prince, he must abide by the laws of my Tang Dynasty. "

Li Jing replied coldly.

Seeing this, Dai Zhou hesitated, clasped his fists and said, "But Your Highness.

From the point of view of a humble official, the brother Shanbei may not be the real culprit behind the scenes.

If this is the case, Liu Shiwei will..."

"Master Dai!

How do you know that Brother Shanbei is not the real murderer? Do you have evidence in your hand? "

Li Jing didn't wait for Dai Zhou to finish, and asked bluntly with a sullen face.

Dai Zhou was startled when he heard the words, thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "When the case happened, only the three princesses and the guards were present.

Now that the two are dead, the guard also said that Brother Shanbei killed someone.

During this period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to find evidence. "

"Hehe~"

Li Jing smiled when he heard this, stepped forward and said seriously: "Since this is the case, why should Mr. Dai be so persistent.

The victim was not a citizen of our Tang Dynasty, and the murderer was not a member of our Datang Dynasty. Closing the case in this way will have a lot of benefits but no harm to our Datang.

Master Dai needs to know.

Sometimes the truth is not important, what is important is what kind of truth the court needs. "

"This……"

Dai Zhou was full of thought when he heard this.

Li Xiaogong nodded approvingly.

For the king of a country, interests are often more important than the truth.

It is obviously more beneficial to close the case earlier to reassure the people and the missions of various countries than to find out the real culprit.

Presumably, Empress Lai Bao also took a fancy to this point, so she confidently pushed the blame on Brother Shanbei, instead of the dark hand arranged earlier in the morning.

……

"Humph!

He did not shy away from it! "

Hearing Li Xiaogong's narration, Li Shimin was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face.

Then he glanced at Dai Zhou who came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice: "Dai Aiqing.

Now that Princess Bao has already identified Brother Shanbei, there is no need to pursue this matter separately.

However, the Japanese diplomatic mission did not pay attention to my Tang Dynasty when it committed crimes in our territory.

After you go down, let Princess Bao go back, and order the Japanese delegation to leave Beijing tomorrow morning. "

"The minister obeys the order."

Dai Zhou bowed his promise, obviously no longer entangled with the truth of the case.

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded.

Glancing at the dozens of confidant ministers sitting on both sides of An, he waved and said, "Since the case is closed, you can go back to work first."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Others agreed as promised.

Changsun Wuji suddenly stood up and prayed.

Li Shimin blinked blankly when he saw this, and asked suspiciously: "Auxiliary machine, what do you want to start?"

Changsun Wuji clasped his fists again to salute, and said in a solemn voice, "Report to Your Majesty.

Since the establishment of the Academy of Sciences by the court early this morning, more than [-] officials have come to seek help from the minister.

Everyone wants their concubine to enter the Academy of Sciences, and please allow your majesty to do so. "

"The concubine at home?

Hehe~”

Li Shimin chuckled contemptuously.

Tapping on the table lightly, he asked curiously, "Tell me, who wants to enroll in the Academy of Sciences?"

Changsun Wuji still lowered his head, cupped his hands and replied, "Return to Your Majesty.

There are Cui family, Wang family, Zheng family, Li family, Lu family...

Your Majesty also knows that His Highness the Crown Prince has never liked the family.

If all colleagues go to ask His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness will definitely refuse. "

"Humph!

Since you know the reason, why do you think that I will agree? "

Li Shimin looked unhappy.

His hatred for the aristocratic family is not inferior to Li Jing.

Since the Academy of Sciences is so important, how could he willingly let the children of the aristocratic family go to study.

But as an emperor, he must maintain the stability of the court and put the overall situation first.

Now there is no opportunity to turn against the family, and he really can't refuse everyone's invitation.

It's just that Changsun Wuji did this...

It was really a little bit unpredictable for him.

"The prince is in charge of the Academy of Sciences, and I don't want to interfere too much.

If you really want to study, you still need to talk to the prince. "

"His Majesty……"

Changsun Wuji frowned and asked again.

Li Shimin waved his hand and interrupted coldly: "Don't worry.

I will order the prince to prepare a hundred places for you and other noble generals.

As for the number of seats in the family, you can discuss with the prince yourself. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing the words, Changsun Wuji stopped talking, and left with Fang Xuanling and others.

Seeing this, Li Shimin suddenly felt a headache, frowned and sighed helplessly.

Just looking at Changsun Wuji's actions at the moment, he immediately understood why.

Obviously, what Li Jing has done in the past few days has already created a gap between the Xungui family and Li Jing.

He also understands.

Li Jing did this to reassure him.

But being the crown prince's method is too tough, it's really not a good thing.

If things go on like this for a long time, Li Jing will definitely be alienated from the court ministers, which will be really detrimental to his succession to the throne in the future.

but……

He really didn't know how to persuade him for a while, and he was also faintly unwilling to persuade him.

After all, this son's ability really exceeded his expectations.

The power that cannot be controlled has never been liked by the emperor.
