Chapter 235: Walking by the river often, you don’t have any shoes wet

"My son dare not!" Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, if Du Fuwei had the intention to rebel, how could he easily take risks and go to Chang'an in person and surrender himself?"

Li Yuan was also aware of the issues mentioned by Li Jiancheng. The murder of the Yuan Cong Imperial Army not only involved the face of the court, but also involved the national system. No matter which court, there was no reason why the emperor's imperial army was slaughtered like a little chicken.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng are in different positions, and the two have different perspectives to consider the problem. Li Jiancheng is considering not to force Du Fuwei too much to avoid the Jianghuai army surrendering and rebelling again. It is the cold twelfth month, and the Turks are eyeing the Tang Dynasty. Once the Jianghuai army rebelled, the Turks will definitely not stand by. This is a matter that will affect the whole body, and Li Jiancheng is unwilling to give in.

However, in Li Yuan's opinion, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army did not accept the adaptation of the Tang Dynasty like the Wagang army under Li Mi's command. The officials accepted the appointment of the court. Jianghuai was not considered the Jianghuai of the court. As for the Turks, Li Yuan did not take it seriously. Hexi, under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou General Administration, Li Jing had Li Jing. With Li Jing's strength, he could definitely take care of both the danger of going south. Hedong had Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Xie Yingdeng, Niu Junda and other generals under Li Shimin's command, and the Turks should not be able to gain any advantage. As for Hebei, there was Luo Yi. Even if he was defeated, he could still hold on for a while, which was enough for the court to clean up the mess of the Jianghuai army.

Seeing Li Yuan’s uncertainty, Li Jiancheng continued: “If Du Fuwei really had a rebellious intention, how could he go to the palace in person to apologize to Your Majesty?”

Li Yuan was speechless when questioned. After a while, Li Yuan roared: "Rareless, do you dare to contradict me?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Your Majesty, Du Fuwei led the Jianghuai Army to the inner ranks, and his sons were in contact with each other. If you talk about internal and external cooperation, this internal response is probably not only the King of Wu, but also the sons. If Your Majesty wants to punish him, why not behead me together?"

Li Yuan yelled in anger: "When I don't dare to cut off your head? Come on, take off Li Jiancheng's Liang Guanchuang suit and put them in jail together!"

Xiao Yu was so angry that he shouted: "Your Majesty, you must not. The crown prince is the crown prince of a country, how can he be imprisoned easily!"

Feng Deyi: "Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince is unscrupulous, if he is imprisoned, he will be criticized by the world!"

"Don't talk again!" Li Yuan was so angry that he shook his sleeves and turned his back to his ministers.

Xiao Yu was still unyielding and was about to come forward to persuade him again. As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yuan suddenly turned around and glared at Xiao Yu: "Get back!"

Li Yuan's eyes turned and he ran into the air with Pei Ji in the lower left.

Pei Ji immediately understood.

The warrior in the standing hall set up Li Jiancheng and walked out of the hall.

The ministers had no choice but to take a back slowly.

...

The news that Li Jiancheng was angrily put into prison by Li Yuan came, and the civil and military officers and subordinates of the Qin Palace were cheering, and the people who were even more excited were dancing and dancing.

Li Shimin watched everyone celebrate with pride.

Lei Yongji smiled and said, "You said, what crime will Your Majesty convict the prince this time?"

Zhang Liang was stunned: "Behead?"

Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said, "It's definitely not, it's impossible. It's not that the prince himself was planning to rebel. He just pleaded for Du Fuwei. Even if the Jianghuai Army really rebelled, he was just a crime of misunderstanding. At most, it was fined for bronze. How could His Majesty really kill him?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Since ancient times, no prince has been successfully enthroned and deprived of his position as the prince. This is the lightest..."

Fang Xuanling said: "If the crown prince's title is removed and all his posts are removed, the crown prince will no longer be the crown prince? Will it no longer pose a threat to the Qin king?"

Li Shimin's face was stunned: "Xuanling means..."

Fang Xuanling said: "The prince quelled the Hebei Rebellion outside, subdued Hedong, Hebei aristocratic tribes, comforted the people inside, and was virtuous and talented. Even if His Majesty did not issue an order to deprive the crown prince of his title, even if His Highness the crown prince was deprived, he would still be boycotted by all officials and shocked the court and the country!"

Li Shimin nodded.

At this moment, Du Yan, who was drinking silently, smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? Just prevent the prince from leaving the Ministry of Justice. If the Ministry of Justice, no one will die one day, even if the prince comes in, he will have to peel off his skin even if he doesn't die!"

Fang Xuanling said: "It's really ridiculous. The prince is the crown prince of a country. Who dares to be arrogant to the prince?"

Du Yan looked at Changsun Wuji with great meaning, and Changsun Wuji felt aroused.

...

The lights flashed in the corridors of the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice. Although it was still broad in the outside, there was no light inside, and it seemed as gloomy as if it was the Nine Nether Hell.

Because it is airtight, despite the cold winter, the air here is still dirty, and the smell makes people feel vomited. Li Jiancheng is like a puppet, making people get up and go to prison.

Entering the second underground prison, there is a large torture station. Li Jiancheng was pushed to the criminal trial station. An official wearing a ninth-grade green robe shouted with a stern face: "Li Jiancheng, Your Majesty has given you great kindness and rewarded you, and appointed you as the crown prince, and also appointed you to supervise the country and act on behalf of the heavens. Your Majesty treats you so well, but you still have other intentions, colluding with Du Fuwei inside and outside to plot rebellion..."

Li Jiancheng originally thought that Li Yuan was angry and imprisoned himself in the heavenly prison and rewarded him with food for several days, so that he could reflect on him. He did not expect that looking at this situation, it seemed to be serious!

Before the green-robed official finished speaking, Li Jiancheng sneered: "If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry. The laws of nature are clear and justice is in the hearts of the people!"

The green robe official was furious, and slapped the auspicious tree and shouted: "Come here, give this traitor a little color. I want to see what he has. Besides being sharp-tongued, what are his abilities!"

The prison guard who had been waiting on the side rushed forward, took off Li Jiancheng's clothes and began to whip them.

"Bang..." The severe pain almost made Li Jiancheng faint. Until now, Li Jiancheng believed that Li Yuan was not joking with him.

Thinking of Li Yuan’s various actions, Li Jiancheng was not only heartbroken, but also angry.

He gritted his teeth and said nothing.

He let the whip stained with salt water hit him. Every time he whipped, there was a blood mark. Soon, Li Jiancheng's back and buttocks were already bloody and fuzzy.

Li Jiancheng was so painful that his forehead was sweating coldly, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

The green-robed official shouted coldly: "Have you eaten yet? Try my efforts!"

The jailers gritted their teeth and whipped.

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth without saying a word until he fainted.

The green-robed official was shocked to see it. Suddenly a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He walked to the stage from the last moment of the case, reached out to pick up a red-burned iron rod, and inserted it into Li Jiancheng's chest.

This is no more flesh-and-hearted punishment, it really took Li Jiancheng's life.

In fact, Du Fuwei also suffered a lot of flesh and blood, but after all, he was fighting against the Han Dynasty and had countless injuries. Although Li Jiancheng had been through a long battle, he did not allow the enemy to rush to the central army in war. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin have two different ways of fighting. Li Shimin relied on his bravery and liked to lead the army and charge, while Li Jiancheng liked to win thousands of miles away.

Li Jiancheng was pampered and had a better life than before.

Although Du Fuwei pretended to be knocked unconscious, he had already woken up long before Li Jiancheng came.

Originally, he was waiting to watch the show, but as he watched it, he felt something was wrong.

At this moment, Du Fuwei sighed and suddenly burst out. He put the shackles on his hands around the neck of the green robe official, and then strangled the green robe official hard. Du Fuwei shouted: "Stop it, otherwise Yeah, kill him!"

The jailers looked at each other and were at a loss.

Du Fuwei relaxed a little and shouted: "Hurry up, open the prison door, or die!"

The green robe official looked entangled.

...

In the Wude Hall of Tai Chi Palace, Li Yuan looked out the window with his hands behind his back, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Pei Ji handed a cup of hot tea to Li Yuan and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the prince can be angry, but Your Majesty cannot be angry; the prince does not know the general, but Your Majesty must put the overall situation first. Now, the Jianghuai army is like dry firewood, and it needs a little Mars to light it. The Turks are eyeing it. At this time, if you punish the prince, it will cause shock to the court, which is not conducive to the stability of the court, and will also affect the preparation of the border."

Li Yuan chuckled and said, "Pei San, you still don't know enough about me. How could I not know the wrong time to deal with Du Fuwei at this time!"

Pei Ji was silent.

Li Yuan continued to smile and said, "Chang'an has been silent for too long. I don't know what undercurrents are there. At this time, the position of the prince seems to be shaken, and those ghosts and monsters will automatically jump out!"

At this moment, an eunuch hurried into the hall and said, "Your Majesty, something big happened..."

When he heard the eunuch report about the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice, especially the prison guards of Tianzhuo not only beat Li Jiancheng, but also prepared to kill Li Jiancheng. Li Yuan was stunned and murmured to himself: "Does I still have the emperor in their eyes?"

Pei Ji was also stunned. He did not expect that some people were so brave. The crown prince of a country would kill him as soon as he said he could.

If Du Fuwei hadn't taken action in time this time, Li Jiancheng would have turned into a corpse.

When Pei Jifu was thinking a lot, Li Yuan suddenly became hysterical and shouted: "Do they think I really dare not kill someone?"

Li Yuan stared at Yu Yanzhang with murderous intent and said, "Are all the people in the Left Supervisor dead? Are they so indifferent?"

Yu Yanzhang felt very wronged. The left supervisor had only 12,500 staff members. He not only needed to be responsible for the alert and protection of dozens of halls in the Tai Chi Palace, the Yeting Palace, and the East Palace, but also had to spy on the intelligence work of the ministers and clans, but how could he be in charge of the Tianzhu of the Ministry of Justice?

Yu Yanzhang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will welcome Your Highness back now!"

As he said that, Yu Yanzhang fled in panic.

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Prison is a place where filth is hidden, and it is not uncommon to accept bribes..."

Li Yuan angrily swept all the documents at hand to the ground. Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji and said, "Pei San, as the emperor, I am rich in Jiuzhou. Now I know that it is all fake, fake..."

Pei Ji sighed inwardly.

Li Yuan continued dejectedly: "There is no one in the huge Chang'an City that can share my worries. Erlang, General Tiance, has already ridden on my head... and pissed. Originally, I thought it was Dalang's concern. Now it seems that in front of Erlang, even I have no choice, let alone the prince?"

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the key to this incident is whether the matter was done by the King of Qin, and whether this matter will be like the case of Yuan Cong Guard being killed in front of the King of Wu's Mansion. Someone deliberately framed the blame..."
