Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 492 Above the court
Does Changsun Wuji really not know what this so-called "dog egg" is?

Obviously, the answer is no.

Even if he didn't know it before, but after combining Chang Sun Chong's experience, with his wisdom, how could he still not know the true meaning of this word?
The reason why Changsun Wuji said he didn't know was to avoid leaking the fact that Changsun Chong didn't have "eggs" as much as possible. Otherwise, once it was known that the son-in-law was a man without eggs, the royal family would become a laughing stock.

If that happens, Li Shimin has a great possibility to let Li Lizhi remarry!

Changsun Wuji didn't want to lose Li Lizhi, his daughter-in-law. In his opinion, Li Lizhi was the "talisman" left by Empress Changsun to the Changsun family. As long as Li Lizhi was alive, the Changsun family would not be able to collapse!

Therefore, he absolutely did not dare to take the risk of losing his daughter-in-law!

Although Li Shimin felt that Changsun Wuji's expression was a bit strange, but at this time he was thinking about wise things, so he didn't pay too much attention to Changsun Wuji. After nodding his head, he continued to head towards the main hall gone.

Changsun Wuji was also relieved to see that Li Shimin didn't ask questions, and felt that he followed Li Shimin's footsteps closely.

As Li Shimin entered the hall, it also announced the beginning of the morning court. The only difference was that no one stood up to speak this time, and everyone kept their mouths shut, waiting for Li Shimin to speak.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin nodded immediately.

"Loves, everyone must have known what happened outside the Xuanwu Gate this morning. What do you think of it?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

Li Shimin had already expected such a situation, he looked around, and then stood up with a cold snort, his face was full of anger.

"Hmph! Such a thing happened at the foot of the dignified emperor. What exactly does the Jinwu Guard do? What do I need you for? Who was in charge of the Xuanwu Gate area last night?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, a burly official stood up immediately.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was the Zuo Jinwu Guard who was in charge of the Xuanwu Gate yesterday. I have already ordered someone to bring Liu Cheng, the general of the Zuo Jin Wu Guard, and he is outside the main hall at this moment. I wonder if the Majesty wants to summon him in?"

As soon as his words fell, Li Shimin waved his hands impatiently.

"No need! Pass down the decree that Zuo Jinwuwei, from the general to the recorder and join the army, will be dismissed from official posts, expelled from Chang'an, and will never be appointed again, and Wuhou, who patrolled the streets last night, will also be dispatched to Lingnan !"

"Yes!"

After talking about Wuhou patrolling the streets, Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji again, and then nodded at him.

Seeing Li Shimin's actions, Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and bowed to him.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the old minister thought that His Royal Highness was not in Chang'an for several months during his eastward expedition to Goguryeo, let alone offended anyone, but now he was attacked at Xuanwu Gate within half a month of returning to Beijing. This matter is quite strange!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin deliberately showed a look of surprise.

"Oh? Zhao Guogong has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Changsun Wuji straightened up, and then showed a serious face.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, His Royal Highness and the Lu family established the Fanyang Salt Field last year. In less than a year, the Fanyang Salt Field produced more than 300 million stones of salt. This has touched the interests of some people. So some people took the risk..."

Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, an official in a red robe stood up and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty's words are groundless. Your Majesty should not listen to them lightly. According to what I see, this matter should be investigated slowly. There will be a day when the truth will come to light!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people stood up again.

"This minister thinks what Master Li said is true!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

"Wei Chen agrees!"

Looking at these people who stood up, Changsun Wuji immediately sneered.

"Hmph, everyone said that the attack on His Royal Highness has nothing to do with the salt field, or I have no real evidence, so I will show the real evidence for you to see!"

As he spoke, Changsun Wuji presented the blood book in front of Li Shimin with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is the blood book that the imperial doctor found from His Highness the Crown Prince in the morning. Judging by the degree of dryness of the blood, this blood book has been written for more than three hours. It is likely that it was written by the person who attacked His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing that Changsun Wuji had really come up with real evidence, the officials who stood up before all shut their mouths and cast their eyes on Li Shimin.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Li Shimin immediately took the blood book with a sullen face, and opened it to read.

Although he has already seen it, his performance at this time is still very good.

The moment he opened his blood book, his expression changed. It was a look of shame and indignation with shock, as if someone had sent him an indecent photo, threatening him to expose it if he didn't pay him.

As the old saying goes, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!

There is no doubt that Li Shimin's acting skills have reached the pinnacle level, and the officials who saw this scene suddenly had doubts in their hearts.

What was written in that blood book?
Under everyone's curious eyes, Li Shimin snorted heavily.

"Hmph, it's really deceiving!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately cast his cannibalistic eyes on Changsun Wuji.

"Is this blood book indeed found from the prince?"

Although Changsun Wuji knew that Li Shimin was acting, seeing his fierce expression, he couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, and he nodded quickly.

"Don't dare to lie to the Holy Majesty, this blood book was indeed found from His Highness the Crown Prince. The first person who found His Highness the Crown Prince was Mr. Zhao in the matter. He can testify!"

As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, the official who had spotted Gao Ming and Changsun Chong stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shimin.

"My lord, this blood book was on His Royal Highness when I found out His Highness, and all the guards outside the city gate saw it!"

Hearing his words, Li Shimin immediately glared at the officials who stood up just now, and then snorted coldly.

"Hmph, look!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the blood book on the ground in front of them. Seeing this scene, several officials immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This……"

After hesitating for a while, an official bent down and picked up the blood book on the ground, then opened it, and subconsciously read the contents of the blood book.

"Within half a year, the saltworks will be closed. If you don't agree, I will take your dog's eggs and hiss..."

After reading this, he couldn't help but gasped, his eyes were full of horror.

Now something big is going to happen!
