Chapter 236: The True Prime Minister of Refutation

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, there is nothing you can't do. Li Yuan is too obsessed with his own power and conspiracy. Since Yang Wengan's so-called rebellion, it has actually sounded a wake-up call for him, but Li Yuan's vigilance is not enough.

Li Yuan ignored the temptation of the position of prince on Li Shimin and also ignored Li Shimin's ruthlessness.

Just once he was imprisoned like anger, in fact, Li Yuan was also fishing, but it was a pity that this was a failed fishing, and he caught a great white shark.

"I'm not dead yet, they can't wait to jump out to find the new master?" Li Yuan shouted in anger: "Do they...they...they...they have the emperor in their eyes!"

Even Pei Ji didn't know how to persuade the angry Li Yuan.

Li Yuan started to ruthlessly, raised a teacup and smashed it on the ground, then raised the ivory hollow carved pen holder, and then another inkstone.

In just a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had smashed dozens of objects. If these things were placed in later generations, more than one billion would be out.

When Li Yuan found that there was nothing to smash in his hand, Pei Ji picked up a chamber pot used by Li Yuan and handed it to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, throw this..."

"Oh..." Li Yuan did not reach out to pick up the chamber pot. He sighed deeply and sighed helplessly: "This matter is messy, I don't know how to deal with the aftermath."

"Your Majesty, the matter of this prince in prison may not have a direct relationship with the King of Qin." Pei Ji analyzed: "If the King of Qin really took action, why not wait for Du Fuwei to return to the cage before taking action? In that case, wouldn't there be no one to stop them?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I have asked, Du Fuwei was knocked unconscious before, and they were not prepared. I just took the prince's prison. Some people can't wait to be the prince's life. Does anyone in the world take me as the emperor seriously? Pei San, go to the Eastern Palace to issue an edict and order the prince to be fully responsible for the trial of the Du Fuwei case."

Pei Ji got up and walked out.

Li Yuan reached out to stop Pei Ji and said, "Wait a minute, stripped of Qin King Sikong, King Yuanji of Qi was appointed as Sikong, and assisted the prince in asking the case."

Pei Ji's eyelids kept beating when he heard this. Li Jiancheng had just been beaten to death. Although his life was not in a state of mind, he would definitely be regarded as a great humiliation by Li Jiancheng. Once Li Jiancheng was asked to be responsible for the trial of the case, are you still worried that the case would not be big enough?

Although Li Yuan was nominally trying the Du Fuwei case, wasn’t it just a person who asked Li Jiancheng to investigate Li Shimin of the Ministry of Justice? This would inevitably cause bloody rain in the court.

Just as Pei Ji was about to go out, he heard the eunuch coming to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin is asking for a meeting!"

Li Yuan said without thinking: "I won't see you!"

The little eunuch hurriedly quit.

As Pei Ji left, a man wearing a cloak and without showing up appeared behind Yu Yanzhang.

Li Yuan looked at Hou Junji and said, "Who did the Qin Palace do this when the prince encountered a disaster!"

Hou Junji said in a deep voice: "Minister can guarantee that this matter is indeed not related to the King of Qin, and he is not aware of it."

Li Yuan sighed heavily and said, "Is there any other news?"

Hou Junji paused for a moment and replied, "I am still investigating."

Li Yuan waved his hand in dismay: "Get back!"

Hou Junji pursed his lips tightly and said carefully: "Your Majesty, there are a group of dead soldiers in the Qin Palace. They only know the name of hundreds of cavalry, and I cannot participate. The Qin King only let Changsun Wuji and Ye Zhiqiu take responsibility. I think he is indeed... The Prince's Heavenly Prison was in danger this time, and there is no conclusion yet, but Chen Ying also has both excellent military talents and is not suitable..."

Li Yuan said impatiently: "Don't worry about this matter, I will deal with it and leave."

Hou Junji frowned tightly, but did not dare to say anything else and bowed to leave the hall.

...

Outside the Tai Chi Palace, when he learned that Li Yuan didn't even give Li Shimin the opportunity to explain, Li Shimin stood outside the door with a depressed look on his face.

Changsun Wuji suddenly panicked: "Your Highness, what should I do?"

Li Shimin turned around and boarded the carriage, and Li Shimin, who was sitting in the carriage, exhaled heavily.

Changsun Wuji patted the car window and signaled the driver to get on.

Li Shimin suddenly asked, "Where is the prince?"

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Shimin and said, "I should go back to the East Palace!"

Li Shimin shouted: "Set up the East Palace!"

Changsun Wuji, who was prepared for a long time, grabbed Li Shimin and said, "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Li Shimin said: "The prince's brother suffered a disaster. As the second brother, he should visit him!"

Changsun Wuji anxiously grabbed Li Shimin's neck and said, "Your Highness, the prince is in a disaster and is suspicious of stealing an axe. Now you have gone to the Eastern Palace. What's the point of doing other than bringing humiliation to yourself?"

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng's carriage slowly parked at the door. With the help of Wei Zheng, Li Jiancheng slowly got off the carriage.

Although Li Jiancheng was vague and scary, he was actually just a skin trauma and had no worries about his life.

However, when entering the main gate of the East Palace, they found that the left and right guards led two central groups, a total of more than 600 strong soldiers, were standing behind Feng Li.

The Zhonglei Regiment is a two relatively special organization in the Tang Dynasty. There is no such organization in ordinary Zhechong Prefecture or ordinary border troops. The so-called Zhonglei was one of the eight lieutenants of Emperor Wu of Han, and was originally responsible for the arrest and robbery affairs of the capital. However, the Zhonglei Regiment under the Eastern Palace and the left and right guards seemed to be the special service force of the armed police in later generations.

Always stand by, well-equipped and well-trained, and can be pulled out to fight at any time.

Now the two soldiers of the middle group who led the left and right guards were also ready to go to war, with bows and crossbows, complete armor and murderous aura.

Li Jiancheng looked at Feng Li and said, "What are you planning to do?"

"The Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the Lord is humiliated to death!" Feng Li said gritting his teeth: "I am willing to seek justice for His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Jiancheng laughed, and he looked at Feng Li and said, "Who are you going to seek justice from, and how do you seek justice?"

"This..." Feng Li was speechless. Although the entire Chang'an and the entire court thought that this was done by Qin King Li Shimin, the key was that there was no evidence. Although Shaogang, the Tianlaosi Prison of the Ministry of Justice (either a typo or a national surname), had the fact that Shaogang had assassinated Li Jiancheng, he did not leave any survivors. Seeing that he was controlled by Du Fuwei, Guo Shaogang turned his hand and held the steel drill and stabbed it into his belly. The whole steel drill penetrated his body and almost stabbed Du Fuwei behind him.

Now that Guo Shaogang is dead, his clue is broken, and a corpse can no longer be referred to Li Shimin.

If Feng Li really dared to take people to find Qin King Li Shimin's bad luck, even Li Jiancheng would not be able to protect Feng Li.

Feng Li said angrily: "Your Highness, can you just let it go!"

"Forget it, how could it be forgotten!" Li Jiancheng said: "The soil has three points, not to mention that I am, you all have dispersed!"

The left and right guards of the East Palace led the soldiers of the Zhonglei army to look at each other, inexplicably.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand irritably, "Everyone goes back to sleep! Don't block the door!"

Feng Li breathed a sigh of relief and led the Zhonglei Army to make way for the main road.

Li Jiancheng entered the main hall of the East Palace, and the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin brought his wives, concubines and children to pay homage to Li Jiancheng.

Li Chengdao looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Dad, I'll avenge you!"

Li Chengdao's mind is relatively simple. Regardless of whether he has any evidence or not, he is older than Li Chengqian. In the Tai Chi Palace Grand Hall (also known as the Royal Academy), he can find Li Chengqian to report. Anyway, they are all vassal kings, so the guards dare not care.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand irritably, "What are you gathering here for? Go back and rest quickly. If you have anything, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zheng Guanyin's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at the concubines and children and said, "Your Highness is fine, everyone goes back to the house to rest."

In the big East Palace hall, only Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng were left.

Li Jiancheng had injuries to his buttocks and back, and the pain was even more unbearable at this time. Li Jiancheng said with a ferocious look on his face: "Xuancheng, I am wrong!"

Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said, "It's great to know that he can correct his mistakes!"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng reading the newspaper, frowned and asked, "What are there above?"

"Some personnel appointments and removals!" Wei Zheng said: "Qin Qiong, the Qin Prince's Mansion, was appointed as the general manager of Lingzhou, and the Xihe ambassador to prepare for the Turks, and Cheng Zhijie was appointed as the deputy director!"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Hand is long enough!"

Wei Zheng continued: "The following is more interesting. Xue Wanche, the general manager of Jingzhou, was promoted to the general manager of Bingzhou, and the envoy of Hedong to prepare for the Turks!"

Li Jiancheng murmured: "It's interesting... it's interesting. It seems that he is suffering a loss when he exchanges Lingzhou for Hedong!"

"It shouldn't be!" Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Highness, Prince, have you forgotten that General Chen has been migrating from Lingzhou in the past two years. Now there are less than 50,000 households in Lingzhou, but there are 230,000 households in Hedong!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Is that all?"

Wei Zheng continued: "Your Majesty has agreed to General Chen return to Chang'an and be appointed as the Grand Situ, and still serve as the Grand Protector of Anxi and the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"This is even more interesting!" Li Jiancheng thought to himself that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, except for Liu Wenjing who has been in charge of the Civil Affairs Department for two years, Xiao Shiwen has been managing the Civil Affairs Department for the past seven years. Now, if it were Chen Ying, I still don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster!"

Li Jiancheng looked worried.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "It seems that Your Majesty is still very suspicious of General Chen! It seems that he will not let the General continue to lead troops anymore."

Li Jiancheng nodded with a gloomy face and suddenly said, "Xuancheng, remember that Princess Pingyang once recommended Chen Ying's disciple Xu Jingzong as an official. What is the person?"

Wei Zheng said: "This man has unparalleled plans."

As he said that, Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "However, this person has poor morals and is good at conspiracy, not open conspiracy. If you want to use him, your Highness must be very cautious.

Li Jiancheng sneered: "Whether conspiracy or open conspiracy is better than waiting for death. Xuancheng, you summon Xu Jingzong to the Eastern Palace and let him take office. Zuochunfang Zhongyun of the Eastern Palace, you take office as Zuo Shuzi."

The Eastern Palace is a smaller version of the imperial court, while the left and right Chunfang is in line with the imperial court's Menxia Province and the Secretariat of the Secretariat. The Menxia Province is in charge of the key points, discusses national affairs together, and is responsible for reviewing edicts and signing memorials, and has the right to refute.

Now Li Jiancheng has given Wei Zheng the right to refute Li Jiancheng, and this is the real prime minister!
