Datang Nongwang

Chapter 865 If you dare to bite me, I will mutilate you
Out of the water!

This is what Li Chongyuan wants to know the most at the moment, and it is also what Li Shimin wants to know. At the same time, it is also what Li Chongzhen's father Li Xiaogong wants to know, and it is what Li Chongzhen most wants to prove.

Li Chongyuan wanted to get to the bottom of it, and wanted to know whether the fact that those people surrounded him and his party in the Nanfang of Changshoufang that day was caused by Xu Jingzong, the right bastard son of the prince who lived under the fourth rank.

after all.

If there hadn't been that incident, then Cui Tong wouldn't have beaten Pig Mud into a person who only vented his breath but didn't breathe in it.

Li Chongyuan always thought that those honorable ministers were responsible for that incident.

but.

He Xu Jingzong is also honorable.

After all, he, Xu Jingzong, was awarded the title of male in Gaoyang County because of his writing of "Records of Wude" and "Records of Zhenguan", which is considered honorable.

What's more, he is still in the position of prince right concubine under the fourth grade, so he can be regarded as a minister.

There is a saying that officials of the fifth grade or above are eligible to participate in the small court meeting, and they are not ministers but they are also ministers.

In any case, Li Chongyuan never doubted that Xu Jingzong planned that matter, nor did he ever think about Xu Jingzong.

If his cousin hadn't come to Pingkangfang to mess around, he, Li Chongyuan, might have been kept in the dark.

Even if he arrested two people himself, he didn't get any valuable news after several days of interrogation. At most, he only confessed to a few small officials.

And Li Chongyuan really has no interest in those petty officials.

After all, for such a big matter, those small officials are just pawns.

Arrested for interrogation?

Li Chongyuan really thought about it, but there are many people involved.

If you really want to arrest them one by one for interrogation, it will take a lot of effort and make a lot of noise.

to this end.

Li Chongyuan didn't continue to investigate, anyway, he couldn't find anything.

But although Li Chongyuan didn't continue to investigate clearly, he even released the two people who were arrested.

However, after Li Chongyuan released those two people, he was sent to secretly investigate.

No matter whether he could find anything or not, Li Chongyuan just wanted to find out the person behind the scenes, and wanted to know who the person behind the manipulating and surrounding him was.

However, Li Chongyuan did not expect that all this was really a coincidence.

Coincidentally, without any means, my cousin did me such a big favor by messing around, and got out the behind-the-scenes that surrounded me.

As Fang Xuanling came out to prevent Li Shimin from taking Xu Jingzong down for strict interrogation, Li Shimin couldn't really take Xu Jingzong down in front of the officials, it was just a misty rain for Wang Li to send people to Pingkangfang The cabinet went to check.

And Xu Jingzong lying on the ground.

After hearing that Li Shimin sent someone to investigate in the Yanyu Pavilion, he suddenly couldn't feel the pain coming from his lower abdomen, he was already stupid.

Xu Jingzong knew.

As long as Li Shimin sends people to Yanyu Pavilion, the things he planned with some officials a while ago can't be hidden.

Xu Jingzong was praying, praying that his concubine in Yanyu Pavilion would keep his mouth shut.

At the same time, he was still praying that the concubines of several other officials would also keep their mouths shut.

But when he prayed in his heart.

However, Wang Li obeyed Li Shimin's will and left the hall directly, which made Xu Jingzong feel as cold as falling into an ice cellar.

He originally thought that Wang Li would not go out in person.

But he really didn't expect that after Li Shimin made the decree, Wang Li would go straight out.

He, Xu Jingzong, still knows what methods Wang Li, the chief executive, has.

Knowing that he couldn't hide himself, Xu Jingzong endured the pain in his lower abdomen, and cast a look of help to Fang Xuanling who was not far away.

but.

At this time, Fang Xuanling no longer spoke for him.

Li Shimin said that and did it, so what else can Fang Xuanling say.

But no matter what, after Fang Xuanling thought about it, he still wanted to help Xu Jingzong.

After all, even though Xu Jingzong is not from his Fang Xuanling, he is still from his lineage, who has the same target as his Fang Xuan, so he can reach out to help without losing a piece of meat.

Immediately, after Fang Xuanling thought about it, he turned his attention to Prince Li Zhi who had not spoken not far away.

Since Li Zhi became the prince, he has lived a prosperous life.

Although he doesn't fight for power like his two elder brothers, and he doesn't have to worry about losing his crown prince.

No matter what he does, Li Zhi is still a descendant, he is protected by his own mother, and there is also an uncle who helps him all the time, and even those important officials in the court are always protecting his position as the crown prince. .

to this end.

Since Li Zhi took the position of prince through meditation, he has been safe and sound. He never caused any trouble, and he never took the initiative to express any opinions.

And now.

Li Zhi still didn't express his opinions casually when his own prince You Shuzi committed such evil things. Even when Xu Jingzong was beaten like this by Li Chongzhen, Li Zhi never said a word.

visible.

Li Zhi was considered smart, he knew that he could not speak casually, and he even knew that as long as he expressed his opinions casually, he might be criticized by some people who had never wanted him to be the crown prince.

For this reason, when Fang Xuanling cast his gaze on him, Li Zhi remained as usual, as if he hadn't seen Fang Xuanling's gaze on him.

But when Fang Xuanling set his eyes on Li Zhizhi, Li Shimin saw it.

Li Shimin saw that his prince son was as usual, and even his subordinates never stood up to punish or plead for mercy, which made Li Shimin dissatisfied with his prince son.

Yes.

Li Shimin has never been very satisfied with Li Zhi, the prince.

even.

After making Li Zhi the crown prince, he thought about Yi Chu many times.

But now.

In the current scene, Li Zhi, as the prince, has reached this point, and has never stood up to express his views. This made Li Shimin's satisfaction with himself as the prince's son began to increase.

Xu Jingzong, who was lying on the ground, looked at his immediate boss, Li Zhi, and saw that Li Zhi was still as usual, even more like falling into an ice cellar.

He knew he was done.

Moreover, he knows even more.

Even if he didn't finish it, he would inevitably end up in exile for thousands of miles.

If he is sentenced to exile for thousands of miles, he will bid farewell to Chang'an City forever, bid farewell to the ranks of Beijing officials, and forever bid farewell to the dream in his heart, the ranks of ministers and important ministers in the court.

Li Chongyuan noticed how Fang Xuanling and the others were doing, but he didn't care.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan was making eye contact with Li Chongzhen who was standing beside him.

If Li Shimin hadn't been too close, Li Chongyuan might have asked his assisted cousin about the matter of his being in the Yanyu Pavilion in Pingkangfang that day.

However, Li Shimin was too close, so it was really inconvenient to say more.

The two cousins ​​made eye contact, but neither of them understood the meaning in the other's eyes.

Chaotang didn't seem to know what was going on at the moment.

That is to say, there is no sound, and there is no communism, it is just so quiet.

Weird.

This also reminded Li Chongyuan that every time he participated in court meetings, this scene would always happen.

but.

This kind of weirdness didn't last long.

After all, the imperial court cannot just be so eerily quiet, it has to discuss matters, even if it has become so eerily quiet because of Xu Jingzong's incident, it still has to discuss state affairs.

After the eerie silence was broken, Li Shimin returned to the throne, saw Xu Jingzong lying on the ground in the center still crying, his eyes twitching, and then waved to the servant not far away.

After the servant got the instructions, he directly dragged Xu Jingzong out from the center of the hall, and dragged him outside the hall.

Without the mournful Xu Jingzong, the court proceedings continued.

still.

The criticisms continued, and they were still aimed at him, Li Chongyuan.

but.

Because of Xu Jingzong's incident happened suddenly, the subsequent attacks on Li Chongyuan were not so fierce, and even seemed a little tactful, or rather, the level was a little low.

"Your Majesty, Li Chongyuan is both Minister of Agriculture and Suzhou, with such a wide range of official positions, and he, Li Chongyuan, doesn't even participate in the court council. Does this not conform to the rules of our court? "A certain official stood up and criticized.

No, those who criticized Li Chongyuan seemed to have changed their direction.

With such criticism, Li Chongyuan wanted to laugh when he heard it.

But it is.

As Secretary of Agriculture, Li Chongyuan, according to regulations or reason, did have to participate in the court council every day.

Regardless of whether it is a big court meeting or a small court meeting, after all, the official position of Secretary of Agriculture is from the third rank.

If Li Shimin is particularly interested in it, it is a trivial matter to participate in the court council, but it is a major matter to participate in the government affairs.

And since Li Chongyuan took the post of Minister of Agriculture, he really has not participated in several court meetings, what's more, even since he took the post of Secretary of Justice, he has not participated in several court meetings.

now.

But someone used such a thing to criticize Li Chongyuan, Li Chongyuan couldn't laugh when he heard it.

but.

These people, no matter in words or in their hearts, never recognized Li Chongyuan's title of Minister of Justice.

No matter whether he was in the court or saw him in other places, these people called him Li Chongyuan, he was either the county king or Li Sinongqing.

And Li Chongyuan may not have cared about it before, but after today, Li Chongyuan made up his mind to let these people know that his position as Minister of Justice is not a vegetarian.

In the past, it was my real failure to take office.

And after today, Li Chongyuan has decided to raise the banner of the Judiciary Temple, and even more so, to raise the post of second-rank Minister of Justice that is crowned on his head.

Although he is not the prime minister, he has judicial power.

This also made all the officials very resistant to the Minister of Justice crowned on Li Chongyuan's head.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan smiled and looked at Li Shimin after listening to those people's offensive words.

Li Shimin frowned and frowned when he saw so many criticisms, he looked very unhappy, and then looked at Li Chongyuan.

Seeing this, Li Chongyuan knew that he had to stand up and respond, "I'm afraid you don't know something. Although I, Li Chongyuan, am Secretary of Agriculture, I also work for Suzhou, and I am also Secretary of Justice. It's because of His Majesty's intention that I don't have to participate. I will only participate in the court meeting unless the Holy Majesty orders the ministers to participate in the court meeting. Of course, if you criticize me like this every day, Li Chongyuan, I don't care if I don't participate in this kind of court meeting. Don't bother the Holy One, and make me feel bad."

"Li Chongyuan, you!!!" Before Li Chongyuan's words landed, someone jumped out and pointed at Li Chongyuan.

Then, it was you who attacked me again.

For such an attack, Li Chongyuan just laughed it off.

In Li Chongyuan's words, whoever you love hates whoever hates it, anyway, it's written down in my little notebook by Li Chongyuan.

For half an hour such criticisms continued, and for half an hour such attacks continued.

It wasn't until Wang Li came outside the hall with several tricksters that this attack had to stop.

Seeing Wang Li coming back, Li Shimin asked aloud, "How is the investigation going?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, after being interrogated by the servants, Xu Jingzong was among the officials who planned to surround King Li in the Yanyu Pavilion that day." Wang Li came to Li Chongyuan's side, glanced at Li Chongyuan, and then respectfully replied to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Shimin stared at Xu Jingzong at the entrance of the main hall.

At this time, Xu Jingzong, who was dragged to the entrance of the main hall, saw his concubine not far away in the Yanyu Pavilion, and his heart was even colder.

He knew that it was really over for him this time.

But his concubine in Yanyu Pavilion and several other waiters were already trembling all over at this time, like shaking a sieve.

Brothel prostitutes like them have never seen such a battle.

So many officials are right in front of your eyes, you can even see the emperor in the hall as long as you raise your head.

They have never experienced such a battle.

Moreover, when Wang Li led the imperial army to Yanyu Pavilion, they were already frightened out of their wits, and after they were brought to the palace, their souls were no longer theirs. Went to several.

After Wang Liyi finished Li Shimin's questioning, Li Chongyuan bowed his hands to Li Shimin, and without saying much, he went directly to the entrance of the main hall, looked at Xu Jingzong lying on the ground, and said, "Xu Youshu, I Li Chongyuan has never offended you, and even more so has never had any dealings with you. Dare I ask Xu Youshu, did I, Li Chongyuan, kill your entire family? Or stole your wife? No, your wife seems to have been dead for many years. Since I didn't steal your wife, why did you do it!"

speechless.

Moaning and begging for mercy.

Li Chongyuan also knew that it was impossible for Xu Jingzong to have anything to say when he was in this position.

Wang Li has verified everything, and there are even witnesses present. If Xu Jingzong has anything to say, Li Shimin may have to kill him.

Li Chongyuan saw Xu Jingzong crying sadly, and begged Li Shimin for mercy, thinking that Li Shimin could forgive you, but I, Li Chongyuan, could not.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan took another step closer, leaning against Xu Jingzong and said softly: "If you want to beg for mercy, the Holy Majesty will forgive you. Do you think I, Li Chongyuan, will forgive you? If you dare to bite me, I, Li Chongyuan, will definitely cripple you. It will make you lie down for the rest of your life and not be able to stand up, ha ha."

As soon as the words fell, Li Chongyuan directly took out his short gun from his arms, raised it up, and smashed it hard on Xu Jingzong's knee.
