I'm a marquis in Datang

Li Yuan said: "Since he is not a member of the King of Qin, which faction is Zhang Qucheng from? Whether he is under the command of Huaian County King Li Shentong or under the command of King Qi, we should remain neutral."

Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Qucheng is under the command of the Eastern Palace."

Li Yuan frowned and said: "I remember that Zhang Qucheng was not mentioned in the battle report mentioned by the East Palace at first. If it was from the East Palace, the crown prince would definitely not have mentioned it. Under the command of the East Palace, as far as I remember, only Xue Wanche can get it. But you As I said just now, Zhang Qucheng made military exploits in Hebei Province and belonged to the Eastern Palace, but the Crown Prince did not ask for credit for him, which is unreasonable!"

Xiao Li looked hesitant to speak.

Obviously, Xiao Li knew about Zhang Qucheng being poached.

At this time, Xiao Li had an idea in his heart that Du Qi wanted to use Zhang Qucheng to deal with the prince.In other words, it was to deal with Zhang Qucheng.

This is most likely Du Qi's plan.

When Li Yuan saw it, he snorted and said, "Tell me, what's going on."

Seeing that Li Yuan was still asking, Xiao Li no longer concealed it, and said, "Zhang Qucheng did serve under the King of Qin's command at the beginning. After returning to Chang'an, he switched to work for the prince, and he was already working for the prince."

"Hahaha…"

Li Yuan laughed.

This is an exasperated laugh.

The one laughing is that Li Jiancheng is so stupid that he recruited Zhang Qucheng, who is so good and bad.If Li Jiancheng poached Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan and other generals from Li Shimin's command, Li Yuan didn't think it would be a big deal, and it was Li Jiancheng's ability to poach the wall.

The problem is that Li Jiancheng poached crooked melons and cracked dates, people with bad conduct.

This made Li Yuan very unhappy.

Du Qi sat aside and didn't speak. His plan this time was actually to guide Li Yuan to handle things.Du Qi didn't have any specific calculations, but let Li Yuan deal with it fairly and justly.

In this way, it is enough to deal with Zhang Qucheng, and it is enough to seek justice for Peng Qingshui.

After Li Yuan understood in his heart, he turned to look at Du Qi and said, "Erlang, there is not enough evidence for Peng Qingshui's matter here. Tell me how to deal with it."

Chapter 495 Zhang Qucheng is Confused

Zhang Qucheng is dumbfounded

However, Du Qi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it is not suitable for me to intervene in this matter. After all, the matter involves the East Palace. Now there is no relationship between the boy and the East Palace, and the crown prince has no longer targeted the boy."

"So it's better for the boy not to get involved in this matter. If it's just Zhang Qucheng, then that's fine. But Zhang Qucheng is behind the crown prince. Once the boy makes a suggestion, I'm afraid it will affect the boy in the end."

"And it also affects the prince, which is not good."

"Besides, when Zhang Qucheng is involved, it is inevitable that the crown prince will be involved. His Majesty personally handles this matter, and the boy also thinks it is a bit

Inappropriate.So the boy's suggestion is that His Majesty does not personally deal with it, but simply hand over this matter to Dali Temple to handle it. "

Du Qi said directly: "Your Majesty's personal appearance may cause unnecessary influence."

He didn't hesitate to hide anything, but directly expressed his thoughts.

This is exactly the case, showing that he is frank and frank.

Li Yuan listened to Du Qi's words, nodded slightly, but said: "Erlang, since I know about this matter, how can I ignore it. Whether it involves Zhang Qucheng, the prince, or the rest of the people, everyone It must be investigated and dealt with immediately. It is impossible for me to ignore this matter."

After a pause, Li Yuan said again: "I know you boy, you have always been resourceful. Now that Zhang Qucheng is here, the evidence is obviously insufficient. Although I also think that the possibility of Peng Xiu'er taking the money and leaving is very small, the problem is that evidence is needed. What do you say?" Say, what should I do about this?"

Hearing this, Du Qi fell silent for a short while.

He thought carefully.

He knew very well that what Li Yuan said was really a question, and he had no other intentions.

Du Qi thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, there are certain troubles in dealing with Zhang Qucheng's matter. But if you really want to deal with it, it is not particularly difficult. Your Majesty only needs to call Zhang Qucheng over first, and then arrange for someone to take care of Zhang Qucheng's family. Tube

Just arrest him and interrogate him.I believe his big housekeeper must know about Zhang Qucheng's matter.When the time comes for interrogation in isolation, things will become clear. "

Li Yuan laughed when he heard it, and said, "Erlang, you still have a way."

Du Qidao: "Your Majesty's praise, in fact, it is because of His Majesty's presence that this matter is relatively easy to handle. If His Majesty is not present, it is indeed a lot of trouble to leave it to Uncle Du Chuke to handle it. Even in many aspects, it will be difficult to intervene."

Li Yuan said: "It is indeed so."

Immediately, Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li and ordered: "Xiao Li, you arrange someone to go to Zhang's house and bring Zhang Qucheng here.

After Qu Cheng was taken away, Zhang Qucheng's butler was arrested.These two people were brought to the restaurant for me, and I interrogated them myself. "

"Yes!"

Xiao Li got the order and immediately arranged it.

Li Yuan looked at Peng Qingshui and ordered: "Peng Qingshui, come, sit down and eat together."

Peng Qingshui shook his head quickly.

He was just an ordinary citizen, how could he have dinner with the emperor, he didn't have the guts.

Li Yuan thought about it, and without forcing, he arranged for Peng Qingshui to eat with Liu Jian and the others.This time Peng Qingshui did not refuse, but he was still a little restrained, after all, he couldn't let go.

Li Yuan and Du Qi continued to eat.

The two chatted, talking about interesting things in Chang'an City.

From time to time, Li Yuan also looked at Peng Qingshui and asked about Peng Qingshui's current situation and his current harvest.As soon as Peng Qingshui heard the question, he quickly stood up and answered respectfully.

The emperor asked him that it was impossible in eight lifetimes.Now it happened to him, so that Peng Qingshui was quite nervous.Li Yuan said once or twice that Peng Qingshui didn't have to do this, but Peng Qingshui was still like this, so Li Yuan didn't force or ask any more, just chatted with Du Qi, waiting for Zhang Qucheng to be arrested.

Time passed little by little.

Just at noon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.

It was the soldiers who escorted Zhang Qucheng.

When he was arrested, he was still drinking and having fun at the house.You Qi drank a lot of wine, so that his face was slightly flushed, and he was so drunk that he even wobbled when he walked.

Zhang Qucheng was rather curious about what the emperor summoned him for.

He didn't commit anything.

No meritorious deeds either.

The emperor summoned him, but he was still in the restaurant. Could it be that the prince was also there.Because of the prince's recommendation, the emperor

The emperor called him and asked him to participate together.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qucheng's heart was filled with anticipation.
