Datang traitor

Qin Qiong thought that Qin Yuan would not like him following him into the palace to join in the fun, because he had no part to investigate this case, so Qin Qiong consciously didn't plan to go with them, but Qin Yuan insisted that he go too.

Qin Qiong was very happy, Qin Yuan was indeed his good brother, and wanted to bring him to share the credit.

"After we finish talking about these things, the sage must be in a bad mood. You can meet at this time, help to calm down, and persuade the sage to calm down. You have just recovered, and the sage will definitely not treat you too harshly."

It turns out that its function is to catch the saint's anger!

Qin Qiong quit, he resolutely quit.

……

After half an hour.

Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo have already stayed in the Liangyi Hall for a long time.

Qin Qiong reckoned that it was almost time, so she quickly walked to the Liangyi Hall and asked for an audience.

At this time, if it were someone else, the eunuch would definitely not dare to pass it on.But this was the first time that General Qin entered the palace after his recovery. The saint had been worried about his physical condition before, so he still had to go in to communicate.

After a while, Qin Qiong was allowed to see him.

When Qin Qiongxing stepped into the hall, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was very oppressive, and there was a feeling of a strong wind that was about to cover the top of the dark clouds.

Qin Qiong caught sight of Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo from the corner of his eye. They were standing bowed and standing on the right side of the hall. They were silent at the moment and did not speak.

Li Shimin, sitting at the head of the main hall, was also silent.

Qin Qiong has always felt in his heart that he is unlucky to recognize such a heartless brother as Qin Yuan.

Qin Qiong bowed anxiously and told Li Shimin that he had recovered, thanks to Qin Yuan's timely rescue and detoxification for him, and helped him catch the murderer who murdered him.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, "Wang Zhengde's death was too cheap, and the next thing will be serious!"

Qin Qiong hurriedly kowtowed, begging Li Shimin to appease his anger.

"How to appease the anger! The widow will always be at the back in his heart, even if all the people in front are dead, it will not be the widow's turn!" Li Shimin said angrily.

"Perhaps it is because of the death that the Supreme Emperor can't bear it. I think the Supreme Emperor understands in his heart that the throne is destined to be inherited by His Majesty. But how can a father remember the disadvantages of his dead son? The more he misses him, the more he misses him." If all kinds of good things are good, it is inevitable to feel guilty. If someone is bewitching in his ear at this time, the Supreme Emperor will easily be tempted." Qin Qiong analyzed clearly.

Li Shimin felt that it made sense, he looked at Qin Qiong with very fresh eyes, and then turned his eyes to Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo.

"What do you two think?" Li Shimin asked.

"My minister seconded the proposal! If Wang Zhengde presented such a letter in front of the Supreme Emperor, how could the Supreme Emperor remain unmoved? I thought that this matter should be investigated first: whether it was Wang Zhengde who deceived first, or the Supreme Emperor who advocated first. These two things Those are fundamentally different." Qin Yuan replied.

"Tell me what's the difference?" Li Shimin usually has an easy-going face, but at this moment his face is stern, his whole body is like a millennium-old ice sculpture, and his whole body emits cold air all the time.Although he just looked at Qin Yuan with his eyes, his eyes stabbed at him like ice skates.

"If this matter is not the Supreme Emperor's claim, it is human nature for him to be bewitched by others, and the father hides for the son." After Qin Yuan finished speaking, there was a long silence in the hall.

Both Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo became nervous, afraid that these words would touch Li Shimin's backs, and the three of them would be in trouble next time.

"According to what you said, are you targeting the Supreme Emperor?" Li Shimin suddenly questioned Qin Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I have never seen the Supreme Emperor. It has not been three months since I came to Chang'an City from the countryside. What I said is my thoughts based on the clues that I have investigated this case during this time. The reason why the Supreme Emperor in this case There will be some participation, most likely due to Wang Zhengde's bewitching. Of course, it may not be, but I think the former may be bigger. I don't need to talk about this matter, so I don't need to take responsibility and take risks. But I am afraid that I will not take what is in my heart If you say it, you will regret it later."

Li Shimin understood that the words 'too late to regret' were actually meant for him.Qin Yuan was afraid that he would attack the Supreme Emperor in a fit of anger, and regret it one day.

How could he attack his biological father? He was just very angry. Now, why can't his father recognize and affirm him.

Li Shimin was indeed very angry, but after listening to what Qin Yuan and others said, he really calmed down a lot.What they said was reasonable, if the Supreme Emperor really wanted to overthrow him, he would not let Wang Zhengde make small troubles, and things would definitely become very big.But why he indulged Wang Zhengde, why he watched Wang Zhengde put himself in danger and ignored him, Li Shimin wanted to know the reason very much.

"Show the Da'an Palace."

Li Shimin called Qin Yuan to follow, and Wen Yanbo and Qin Qiong retreated.

Wen Yanbo was very worried about Qin Yuan's safety, after much deliberation, he and Qin Qiong went to Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling to intercede for help.

……

Inside the Daan Palace.

When Li Yuan heard that Li Shimin was coming, he was already prepared.

Holding the cup in one hand, he sat sideways on the first seat, leaving only a profile for Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin entered the palace and saw his father treating him like this, he felt even more upset.

Qin Yuan bowed to Li Yuan, but Li Yuan ignored him.

Li Shimin asked Qin Yuan to get up.

The father and son were silent with each other, and neither of them spoke.

Qin Yuan hurriedly said: "Look at my memory, I was only interested in reporting the case to the sage just now, but I forgot to say that the old man brought me apricots this morning. There is an old apricot tree in his house, which grows on the sunny slope. Taking good care of them, they ripen earlier than other people's every year, and the fruits they bear are bigger and sweeter than the melons he grows. The apricots are in the car at this moment, and the apricots are in the minister's car, and the minister has asked His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor to taste them. ?”

Li Shimin squinted slightly at Qin Yuan, sneered, and nodded.Forget it, he just agreed to the monkey boy's wishes for the time being, and settled the score with him later.

Of course, Qin Yuan didn't have to go in person for this kind of thing, the eunuch Zhang De immediately arranged for someone to fetch it, washed it, and brought it up after the usual poison test.

The apricots are really big and round, as big as an egg, and the yellow orange is attractive.It smells like this, but there is nothing special about it.When you pinch it with your hands, you can feel the ripe softness. When you break it open, the apricot flesh is thick and dark yellow, soft and fleshy, and it is all separated from the core. When you put it in your mouth and eat it, it is really soft and rotten. Tender and sweet, with a strong apricot aroma.

Li Shimin ate three meals in a row before he realized that he had something serious to do.Going to see Li Yuan, he just glanced at Xingzi from time to time, and didn't move.

Li Shimin sneered and mocked: "Aye, don't you even dare to eat the apricots offered by your son?"

Li Yuan glared back at Li Shimin, raised his hand and took an apricot, took a bite, his expression changed while chewing.Soon he finished one apricot and picked up the second.

Qin Yuan felt that this was a good sign, if the two of them didn't start with a tit-for-tat confrontation, then the matter would be half eased.

"Aye should have guessed the purpose of my son's visit here. The son just wants to know what a son is in Aye's heart. Is Aye looking forward to his death day and night?" Focusing his eyes, he didn't want Li Yuan to find out.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Yuan stretched out his hand slowly, and handed over the handkerchief in time.

Li Shimin stared back at Qin Yuan angrily, why does this guy have no eyesight at this time!

When Li Shimin stared, the red eyes became more obvious.

Li Yuan was too lazy to look at Li Shimin at first, so he took a look at Qin Yuan's words.At this glance, he found that his second son's eyes were already red with grievance.He is 30 years old, and he has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty as he wished, but he still can't change his old habit of crying.

Li Yuan's heart softened suddenly. Once upon a time, the second child was also his darling.You shouldn't, you shouldn't... Forget it, the matter has come to this, what's the use of sighing in his heart.Which man has no revenge in his heart, and he rebelled against the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty because he had an unyielding spirit in his heart.The eldest and the second are both like him, like a fierce tiger, but one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. After all, only one of them can inherit the Great Tang Dynasty.It is destiny to be the king and lose the bandits, but he still can't let go of the one who died.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan hurriedly accepted the letter with interest and gave it to Li Shimin.When Li Shimin opened the letter, Qin Yuan took a sneak peek, and it was indeed Li Jiancheng's handwriting on the letter.

After Li Shimin finished reading the letter, he held the letter firmly in his hand.

"He can't swallow that breath down here!" Li Yuan shouted hoarsely.

"This is all Wang Zhengde's witchcraft!" Li Shimin also shouted, "How could my father let him hurt me!"

"Didn't I let you kill my brother and make you the emperor?" Li Yuan roared loudly, "You owe him this! After you pass this calamity, you are the destiny of destiny. People can stop it!"

"Then what if I haven't passed it?" Li Shimin asked through gritted teeth.

"Ibis is a good boy." Li Yuan said.

Ibis is the nickname of today's Prince Li Chengqian.

Li Shimin took a breath slowly, and saluted Li Yuan again, "My son will come to see you sometime."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Qin Yuan hurriedly saluted Li Yuan and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Li Yuan.

After Li Yuan asked Qin Yuan's name, he asked Qin Yuan: "Do you believe in karma? One day he will taste me. I can't see it anymore. Help me see it."

"Your Majesty is responsible for the rise and fall of the country and the well-being of the people. If you don't have some means, it will be difficult to become a good emperor. As the Supreme Emperor said just now, your majesty has passed through calamity, and now it is destiny! I believe in karma, Your Majesty will be rewarded if you work hard for the people of the world and govern the country so diligently!" Qin Yuan boldly said to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan never expected that this handsome and honest official would dare to speak so unscrupulously to him, and say so much!Li Shimin killed his brother and brother, but he called it a robbery!

Li Yuan was so angry that he picked up the apricots on the plate and threw them at Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan yelled, caught Xingzi, and hurriedly ran out, but was still spanked on the buttocks.

After Li Shimin came out, he found that Qin Yuan was not following him, and knew that it was Li Yuan who left him behind to make sarcastic remarks.He wondered how Qin Yuan would be careful to flatter Li Yuan. After all, Qin Yuan was in front of him before, but he had to persuade himself to calm down and be filial to the Supreme Emperor.

As a result, Li Shimin suddenly heard Li Yuan's roar coming from the hall, and scolded Qin Yuan severely.Qin Yuan ran out in embarrassment, holding his head and holding an apricot in his hand.

Li Shimin was depressed and angry at first, but seeing Qin Yuan like this, he couldn't help laughing after all.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Shimin pursed his lips, looked at Qin Yuan, and noticed a piece of dark yellow apricot flesh stuck to the official robe on Qin Yuan's butt.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, "Why did you get beaten? What did he say to you in the end?"

Qin Yuan used a weak and aggrieved voice to tell Li Shimin the conversation he had with Li Yuan just now.

Originally, it was his father who cursed him, but when Qin Yuan responded, Li Shimin suddenly found it very funny.

"Why do you talk to him like that, didn't you plead for him carefully before?"

"I don't think I'm asking for mercy, I just hope that your Majesty will be happy and at ease." Qin Yuan replied 'honestly'.

"It's disrespectful for you to speak to the Supreme Emperor like this, do you know that you should be punished!" Although Li Shimin said so, there was no sense of blame in his tone.Because Qin Yuan's words really warmed his heart, it is his good fortune to have such a courtier by his side.

Qin Yuan hurriedly bowed to express his willingness to be punished.

Li Shimin raised his hand and patted Qin Yuan's forehead, then walked straight forward.After a while, seeing that Qin Yuan was still standing there motionless, Li Shimin told him to get over quickly.

Qin Yuan happily responded, and immediately followed.He was still holding the apricot in his hand and asked Li Shimin if he could eat it, which was given to him by the Supreme Emperor himself just now.

Obviously the Supreme Emperor threw it out to beat him, but he said it was a 'reward'.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing again, and said yes, telling Qin Yuan to eat.

Outside the Hall of Liangyi, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Chu Suiliang were waiting anxiously, reviewing the draft they discussed before.In any case, they must not let the saint kill the Supreme Emperor.

The four of them bristled nervously. After waiting for nearly half an hour, they finally heard the report that Li Shimin had returned.The four of them took a deep breath, ready to go out, and they must discuss the importance of filial piety by discussing the past and the present.Immediately, they saw Li Shimin walking past them with Qin Yuan talking and laughing.

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Fang Xuanling: "..."

Wei Zheng: "..."

Chu Suiliang: "..."

The four of them glanced at each other, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang both asked Changsun Wuji if his news was wrong.Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, he himself doubted this a little bit.But it's impossible, he confirmed this news again and again.

The four of them then followed Li Shimin into the hall suspiciously and saluted.

Li Shimin smiled and made them flat, and asked them if they had any important matters to report.

All four of them were stunned, not knowing what to say.

Li Shimin didn't see the four people speaking, and saw that the four people were all looking at Qin Yuan instead.He immediately understood what was going on in his heart, and these four must have heard the news and came to comfort him.

"Qin Yuan!" Li Shimin shouted suddenly.

Qin Yuan hurriedly agreed.

"There is a bill that I want to settle with you. Have you colluded with Qin Qiong for a long time?"

Qin Yuan admitted frankly.

"I just want His Majesty to be happy." Qin Yuan explained everything in one sentence.

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing again, and pointed at Qin Yuan helplessly, "You, monkey spirit!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise." Qin Yuan said.

Li Shimin laughed again, and the rest of the people in the hall were confused by the conversation between the monarch and his ministers.

Changsun Wuji figured it out a bit, and Qin Yuan was flattering again.However, his flattering skills are really powerful. It's hard to think about how such a big thing can make the saint happy.

"If you are worried about the case of Wang Zhengde's summoning the soul, you don't need to. The matter has been clarified. As Qin Yuan said, Wang Zhengde used the deceased's handwriting to trick and use the Supreme Emperor, making the Supreme Emperor believe that it was the deceased's last wish, so then He didn't bear it, and he didn't stop him. Fortunately, the old man didn't provide much help. Finally, when he heard that Wang Zhengde was arrested, he suddenly realized that it was not good to make a big mess, so he sent someone to Yongzhou Mansion to kill him. Wang Zhengde.

Wang Zhengde deserved his death.The Supreme Emperor is old, so it is inevitable that his heart will be soft-hearted, and he will feel compassionate only when he is bewitched for a while. Naturally, the widow, as a son, must be considerate. "

Li Shimin explained the process briefly, so that Changsun Wuji and others don't have to worry about asking, and the matter is over.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang immediately agreed in unison, and praised Li Shimin for his tolerance and generosity, and he is the most wise monarch since ancient times.

Li Shimin was very happy to be praised, and he didn't forget that it was Qin Yuan's credit.He praised Qin Yuan for his great contribution in this investigation, and also detoxified Qin Qiong in time, saving the life of a humerus loyal minister.

Li Shimin very clearly expressed his attitude that he must reward and promote Qin Yuan, and then asked Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others for any suggestions.

Wei Zheng couldn't help but said, "But Qin Canjun was just promoted a few days ago, and so quickly—"

"Qin Canjun is a prodigy in solving cases. He was fast and steady in this summoning case, and he kept it very secret. Even the minister didn't know the last part." When Changsun Wuji said this, he deliberately emphasized, " This move has contributed a lot to maintaining the stability of Chang'an City and the imperial court in time, and I propose to promote Qin Canjun as the young minister of Dali Temple."

"Young Minister of Dali Temple?" Wei Zheng exclaimed, staring at Changsun Wuji, "Master Changsun, the young minister of Dali Temple has been promoted from the fourth rank to one level, and he will be among the nine ministers. No, be firm. No, there is no precedent for such a quick promotion!"

Changsun Wuji: "Why can't it work? There is a way to recruit talents in an eclectic manner, and those who are capable will live there. Talented people should be reused!"

Wei Zheng blushed and retorted that Changsun Wuji should also pay attention to the tempering of experience, and promoting talents too quickly would actually harm talents.

Fang Xuanling and Chu Suiliang looked at them silently.

Qin Yuan could see that Changsun Wuji was here to make trouble.He must have been narrow-minded and resented that he had kept the final facts of the case from him, so when Li Shimin asked for his opinion on promotion, he deliberately recommended it higher in order to retaliate against him.Because he knew that such a high-level official would definitely not agree with everyone, and would definitely discuss his 'shortcomings'.

This man is so shameless.

"Sure." Li Shimin said suddenly.
