Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2425
At such a critical moment, someone in the family took poison and committed suicide. What does it mean?
Suicide in fear of crime!

If he hadn't committed a heinous crime, who would have ruined his life so decisively?Such actions seem to evade the sanctions of the law, but in fact it is confirmed that this matter is related to Qiu Xinggong, and Qiu Xinggong was pushed to the guillotine...

Qiu Xinggong felt that his head was going to explode, and cried out sadly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty knows that this old minister has no knowledge of this matter! Although the old minister has a grudge against Fang Jun, no matter how stupid he is, he cannot Assassinated him on such an occasion today! Your Majesty, the old minister is really wronged!"

His Majesty Li Er was expressionless, stretched out his foot to pull the crossbow trigger, and asked again: "You don't know what you said. Is it the assassination of Fang Jun, or the private minting of coins?"

Qiu Xinggong's face was blue and his lips were white, sweating profusely, his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Chai Zhewei again: "What do Duke Qiao think?"

Chai Zhewei's clothes were already drenched in cold sweat, and he almost dragged out the eighteen generations of Qiu Xinggong's ancestors to greet him, and said: "Your Majesty, the general will be ignorant of this."

Seeing Qiu Xinggong raised his head at the end of his eyes, he quickly added: "However, rejecting what I have pointed out, General Qiu is not a greedy person. Although his personality is a bit irritable, he will stick to the bottom line and will never do things like private coins. Violating the laws of the country! There must be someone who intends to frame it, and the three courts should be ordered to investigate and expose the truth of the matter."

When Qiu Xinggong reached the words on his lips, he swallowed them back.

Just now when Chai Zhewei said that it had nothing to do with him, Qiu Xinggong was so angry that he wanted to reveal everything. At worst, everyone would die together. Why should he blame Lao Tzu?
When Chai Zhewei said this, he finally understood and revealed everything. The only result is that everyone will die together. If Chai Zhewei is taken out, he will bear all the charges by himself. With the influence of that person, maybe things still have a chance to come back to life...

I had no choice but to keep silent.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the mold and crossbow machine on the ground, his cheeks twitched, and the flames of anger rose in his chest, almost burning all his sanity.

Presumably because of the assassination of a minister, it is obvious that private coining is even more unacceptable to him.

Whether it is Qiu Xinggong, or Chai Zhewei, or even a certain important minister in the court, they are all famous officials, nobles and prominent people, with countless fortunes under their names, which cannot be spent in a few lifetimes. If they are purely greedy for money, who would think of private Mint coins to accumulate wealth?
Even Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County, who is recognized as the most money-greedy in the court, can't do such a thing that violates the law and seeks his own death...

There is no doubt that daring to mint coins privately must be because the amount of money needed is too large, and ordinary methods of collecting money are far from enough.

So why on earth is so much money needed?
The answer is obvious, the most money-consuming thing in the world, in fact, there is only one thing...

He stared at Qiu Xinggong and Chai Zhewei for a long while, then turned his head and said to Zhangsun Wuji: "Assassination of Fang Jun and private minting of coins, these two cases are combined into one, so you should be in charge of the auxiliary machine. The judiciary filed a case for review, and investigated the matter clearly, no matter who is involved, do not favoritism, do not bend the law, take the "Zhenguan Law" as the criterion, deal with it strictly, and never show mercy!"

Changsun Wuji was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Old minister obeys!"

Don't play favoritism, don't bend the law... He then understood that this matter was like a hot potato, and if he was not careful, he could burn himself too.

Assassinating Fang Jun, is that something ordinary people dare to do?
To mint coins privately can only be done with connections to the sky!

No matter which one of these two cases is, it is bound to set off a storm. When the two cases are combined into one, the entire high-level empire will be swept into it...

His Majesty Li Er looked at Chai Zhewei and Qiu Xinggong again, and said in a gloomy tone: "Both of you are the pillars of the country, have made great contributions, are both descendants of famous families, and have a long history of family education. I don't want to see either of you go to a dead end. If If I can confess frankly, I may be lenient and give a way out, but if I want to resist and resist to the end, then no one will be able to control whether it is life or death."

After a pause, he said, "You can do it yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and left with the guards.

At this moment, apart from anger, there was also some embarrassment.

Fortunately, Qiu Xinggong said that this person has a violent temperament, he has never liked it, and relied on his merits to run amok, if it is true that these two cases are related to him, his death would not be a pity.

But Chai Zhewei is different after all...

Thinking of his mother, His Majesty Li Er sighed inwardly.

Prince Yin Li Jiancheng, King Wei Huai Li Xuanba, King Qi Li Yuanji, he, and Princess Pingyang Zhao, five brothers and sisters, one mother and compatriots. Among them, he has the best relationship with Li Xuanba and Princess Pingyang. The three of them played together since childhood. But Li Jiancheng, the precocious prince, has always been aloof, and only Qi Wang Li Yuanji has always followed his example.

Five brothers and sisters, two camps.

Li Xuanba died early, and His Majesty Li Er was the closest to Princess Pingyang. This strange woman of the Li family is a heroine, and she was the one who took down the entire Guanzhong. This is the foundation to sweep the world and establish an eternal foundation.

In terms of meritorious service, among brothers and sisters, Princess Pingyang should be the leader.

When Princess Pingyang died at an early age, it was not only Li Er who was in pain, but also Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji who were sad and weeping in every possible way. The late emperor even ordered the Ministry of Rites to bury her with the army, and only enjoyed this honor as a princess. Those who, from ancient times to the present, are unique!
If Chai Zhewei commits an unforgivable crime, His Majesty Li Er does not know whether he can be ruthless enough to punish Chai Zhewei in the canon, so as to exceed the standard.

If he is executed, how can he have the face to see his third sister again after a hundred years?

But if he indulges and forgives, how can he, the emperor, convince the public and what is the law of the country?
Not only sighed, but wished that Chai Zhewei hadn't been involved so deeply as he thought...

*****
Princess Zhende Jin Deman came out from Ziyun Tower, and then drove back to the mansion in a carriage.

Along the way, she was worried, fearing that the news of Fang Jun's death would come in the next moment. Did she have any feelings for Fang Jun, but it was hard to imagine the difficult situation she and her sister would face once Fang Jun died...

At any rate, there was no bad news until the gate of the mansion, which made her a little relieved.

After getting out of the car, he went into the courtyard under the service of the maid, and then asked: "Fang Shaobao is still here?"

The maid said: "Yes, the wound has just been treated by a military doctor. The injury is very serious and it is not suitable to move it in a short time, so His Majesty placed it in the guest room."

Kinderman nodded, kept stepping, and came to the guest room in a blink of an eye.

The door of the room was open, and there were soldiers guarding the door. Kinderman stepped into the room, and a strong smell of blood came out of her nostrils, making her chest sink.

The guest room is quite luxuriously furnished. Between the hanging curtains, there are faintly visible figures on the side of the bed behind the curtains. Kinderman asked, "Sister?"

There were rustling sounds from behind the tent, and after a while, Jin Shengman, dressed in a splendid palace attire, came out, forced a smile, and said softly, "You're back? Fang Shaobao was seriously injured, and the medical officer treated him just now. After drinking the decoction, he just fell asleep at the moment, let him wake up later, and my sister will visit again."

"Oh."

Kinderman didn't care much about Fang Jun, and he was relieved to hear that Fang Jun was fine.

but……

My sister's eye circles are red, as if she just cried?
Kindermann couldn't understand.

For their sisters, Fang Jun is like a backer, they can rely on them with peace of mind. From then on, no one in Chang'an City will blatantly covet him, but if we talk about his feelings, he may not have much.

Don't forget, back then in Silla, Fang Jun's method of driving away tigers and wolves caused the tragic death of countless sons of Silla.

So if Fang Jun died, he would probably cry a few tears for outsiders to see, but now that Fang Jun is not in danger of his life, why is my sister so sad?
Who are you crying for...

Suspicious in his heart, Kinderman subconsciously followed his sister's footsteps to the door, and suddenly asked, "When Fang Shaobao was assassinated, he was at the door of our mansion. Why did he come here?"

At that time, she was invited to go to Ziyun Tower, and Fang Jun, as the general who defended Furong Garden, could not have known this, so why did he come here when he was not at home?

Who is he looking for?

Jin Shengman's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a sullen face, seemingly unintentionally: "It's my sister who found out that someone was peeping here secretly, so she sent someone to invite Fang Shaobao to investigate. Unexpectedly, those people didn't covet us, but After investigating Fang Shaobao's whereabouts, it turned out that he was assassinated as soon as he left the house, so my sister felt very guilty, if I hadn't sent someone to call him, then how could he be assassinated when he was surrounded by troops and horses?"
