Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

In Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin had a stern look on his face. The Ministry of Punishment was the highest judicial institution in the country.

There are people who dare to kill people in the Ministry of Justice. Doesn't this mean they don't take the country seriously?

None of the top leaders of the three provinces and six ministries below dared to speak. They knew that His Majesty was angry and the consequences would be serious.

"Dali Temple will investigate this matter strictly and all officials of the Ministry of Punishment will cooperate. Zhang Xingcheng will be removed from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and will be temporarily replaced by Li Daoyu, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment." Li Shimin issued an order.

"Your Majesty, Li Daoyu..." Yang Shidao was about to say something when he was interrupted by Li Shimin.

"Okay, I'm just saying that I'm here for the time being. The most important thing now is to investigate this matter.

Lord Dali Temple, this matter must be investigated strictly. No matter who did it, there is no need to ask for an order. You can take it directly and report it to me.

You simply don't take me seriously. "Li Shimin said to Sun Fuga, the minister of Dali Temple.

He was giving Sun Fuga reassurance that someone who could commit crimes in the Ministry of Punishment must have a strong background. He was telling Sun Fuga to arrest him first.

Sun Fujia stood up and saluted Li Shimin with a serious look on his face.

"My lord, I will obey the sage's instructions."

"Zhao Guogong, what do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin asked seemingly casually.

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of interests, I am the most suspicious." Changsun Wuji stood up and said without any scruples.

"Oh? How come you can see that?" Li Shimin asked lightly as he picked up the tea. He didn't look up at Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty, these people are all witnesses. They can identify whether Chang Sun Chang and Chang Sun Xiang are the masterminds.

But now that these people are dead, there will be no follow-up, and it will not be possible to prove whether these two people were the principal culprits or were bribed. "

Changsun Wuji glanced at Li Shimin and expressed his thoughts.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Li Shimin took a sip of tea and put down the tea cup, nodding. Suddenly he asked with a slight smile.

"Then Duke Zhao, did you do this?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent, and everyone looked at Zhao Guogong in front.

They all know one thing. His Majesty's personality has changed. Although most matters have been handled by the prince over the years,

But His Majesty became dissolute, fond of luxury, and suspicious.

Otherwise Liu Ji, Zhang Liang and others would not have almost lost their heads.

They speculated that this might be because His Majesty was older.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter was definitely not my fault. Your Majesty is wise and should know that the overall situation has been decided now, and I will not do such a thing.

In fact, not only Mitsuomi will benefit from this matter, but there are also people who can get something from it. "

Changsun Wuji said with a serious face without changing his expression.

"Oh? You're talking about King Ji, hahahaha." Li Shimin burst out laughing after saying that.

But no one, including Li Chengqian on the side, felt any joy from Li Shimin. Instead, they felt a sense of oppression.

"You all go down." Li Shimin smiled and waved to the people below.

All the ministers left after saluting.

"Gao Ming, what do you think of this matter?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian.

"Back to Aye, I don't think it was Lao Shi who did it. But I still have to wait to find out who did it, so I don't dare to say for sure."

Li Chengqian answered carefully.

"You are right. As an emperor, you cannot judge things based on your own wishes. This can easily lead to mistakes in your judgment.

The biggest suspect in this matter is Changsun Wuji, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that they don't actually need to do this.

As for whether Li Shen did it, we will have to wait until it is found out.

I don't think it was done by Li Shen, and it would be best if it wasn't done by him. "

After Li Shimin finished speaking, there was an unknown look on his face. Li Chengqian looked at his father, and he didn't want Li Shen to do it.

If it was really Li Shen who did it, then he would have to be released from the feudal vassal, or put under house arrest in Chang'an City.

"Lao Shi should have received the news at this time. If my guess is correct, he will enter the palace soon." As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, a eunuch came in from outside and reported:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is seeking an audience outside the palace."

"Let him in."

Li Shimin smiled slightly,

"Did you see? I'm right, this guy who is afraid of death will definitely come to the palace."

"Aye still understands the tenth brother." Li Chengqian agreed.

After a while, Li Shen was taken to Liangyi Hall. After entering the hall, Li Shen bowed to Li Shimin in a polite manner.

"Son, see Aye. I've met my eldest brother."

"Hey!! Isn't this our His Highness Prince Ji? In the past, he had to get up at noon. What happened today that he got up so early?"

After Li Shimin saw Li Shen, he couldn't help but express his displeasure.

"Aye, I'm here for the Ministry of Punishment matters. I just got the news that the twenty-one officials arrested by the Punishment Department yesterday died in the Punishment Department early this morning.

Erte went into the palace and told Aye that this matter had nothing to do with him and was not his fault. "Li Shen did not smile playfully, but said to Li Shimin seriously.

"Really?" Li Shimin looked at Li Shen with interest,

"Back to Aye, my son's report on Changsun Chang and Changsun Xiang was actually to take revenge on Changsun Wuji. I think Aye should know this.

But Er was not prepared to put them to death.

Er just wanted a small revenge on Changsun Wuji, so that he wouldn't stare at Er in the future.

They are mother's relatives and will not do anything that goes too far. "Li Shen explained.

Li Shimin nodded with a smile. He knew that Li Shen had been timid since he was a child, and he was cautious and cautious in doing things.

"What you said makes some sense, but Lao Shi, the details still depend on the results of the investigation. I have handed over the matter to the supervision of Dali Temple.

The grudge between you and Duke Zhao has been settled. Please stop publicizing it. This will bring bad reputation to your mother.

I know that you have done a good job in letting people guide the rumors in the market, but after all, Changsun Chang and Changsun Xiang are your mother's inner clan.

For your mother's sake, just let them go and don't dig deeper. "

No matter what Li Shimin thought in his heart, Li Shimin believed in Li Shen and started Li Shen's work.

In feudal society, there was no such thing as the emperor committing the same crime as the common people.

When Li Shen handled the Xi Bian case, he had to be executed according to the law for the amount of money he had embezzled. However, when it was Dang Renhong's turn, he was only exiled in the end.

Li Shen knew that many people in the former Qin Palace were corrupt. Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Changsun Wuji, etc. had all been corrupted back then.

Changsun Chang entered the palace for the second time this time, and nothing happened.

Now if Li Shen embezzled 1.8 million yuan, he would not die.

This is the reality of feudal society based on imperial power.
