Chapter 30 Joint investigation by Jinwu Guard, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment
Changsun Wuji opened his mouth wide, Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, and everyone else looked at Dai Zhou, the minister of Dali Temple.
Compared to these little things at home, this matter is indeed big enough.
That's hundreds of people, all dead?
The palace door opened, and everyone followed the eunuch and came to the main hall in a daze.
Li Shimin was also furious because his good son was overturned and knocked unconscious.
Therefore, he looked very bad. After he came in, he sat on the dragon chair and glared at the ministers below, preparing to get angry.
Dai Zhou hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have the original memorial."
"Last night, the Japanese students on the other side of Shuiqiao were massacred, and all the Japanese people in other places in Chang'an City died inexplicably overnight."
Li Shimin was stunned, stood up directly, looked at Dai Zhou, and said, "What did you say, say it again."
"Your Majesty, all the envoys sent by the Japanese country to the Tang Dynasty are dead except Inugami Odenaki."
How could the Japanese country send hundreds of envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and how could they all die overnight, and at the feet of the emperor?
"Can you find out who did it?"
Dai Zhou shook his head, bowed and said, "Except for the one at Shuiqiao who was killed, the others all had accidents."
Li Shimin frowned, it was Shuiqiao again. It was at Shuiqiao that his son had an accident last night.
Could this matter have something to do with what happened to his son?
Japanese people, why are they Japanese people and not other people?
Changsun Wuji felt that it was necessary to talk about what happened at home, maybe there is a connection between them.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and motioned for him to speak.
"Your Majesty, last night, it was not just the murder of another Japanese envoy sent to Tang Dynasty. Strange things also happened in the homes of the ministers."
"I have a village outside the city, and I got lost last night for no reason."
Chen Yaojin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, more than a dozen cattle in my house died in one night!"
Wei Zheng: "Your Majesty, the rooster my family has raised for three years died last night."
Yuchi Gong: "Your Majesty, a servant of my family hanged to death last night."
Fang Xuanling: "Your Majesty, my dog fell into a manhole last night and almost drowned..."
Li Shimin: "..."
Li Shimin has gone crazy. What is happening? Why did it all happen last night?
Li Shimin also felt that he should tell what happened to his son last night: "My son, King Shu, was assassinated last night and fell off the carriage. He is now unconscious..."
Ah this...
The ministers looked at Li Shimin again. Something happened to the King of Shu?
The ministers were happy at first, but felt something was wrong, and quickly asked the king of Shu about the situation.
At this time, an imperial envoy whose head was kicked by a donkey came out and said: "So many things happened overnight. This may be related to God's anger. For the sake of peace in the world, Your Majesty should sacrifice to heaven on good days and auspicious days."
Everyone looked at the emissary, and Wei Zheng also looked at the emissary with angry eyes, wishing to eat him alive. If you want to die, don't catch me!
How come I have a subordinate like you?
"You are deceiving the public with your evil words, pull them out, ten army sticks!"
"Your Majesty, I am disobeying you. I am an envoy and I will report what you heard. What's wrong? The sky is angry. So many things happened in the court overnight, but you didn't listen to good advice..."
The imperial envoy was dragged out to take action, and the ministers finally felt much more at ease.
Li Shimin looked at the ministers and asked: "Who wants to say that it was me who angered the heavens and the heavens punished me?"
In order to make up for the mistakes made by his subordinates just now, Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, these things may seem unrelated, but there must be a connection. As long as you investigate carefully, you will definitely be able to find a result."
Changsun Wuji said calmly: "Your Majesty, from what I see, there may be some treacherous ministers and traitors who want to fish in troubled waters."
Li Shimin nodded and said: "There is something fishy in these things, and we must get to the bottom of it."
"Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Jinwu Guard jointly investigated and will give me an explanation in three days."
"Ministry of Rites, please calm down the foreigners in the embassy and reassure the Japanese envoy sent to Tang. I will definitely give him an explanation."
"What do you think, sir?"
If there is no objection from the three provinces, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Jinwu Guard will jointly investigate the matter and it can be implemented.
"My lords, in these troubled times, do your job well and the Jinwu Guards will send additional manpower to ensure the safety of Chang'an City."
"We obey!"
When the court came down, the ministers walked together in twos and threes.
Li Jing was the only one walking in the front. He was very worried about the King of Shu. He was his future son-in-law. Why did something happen and he was still unconscious? What happened.
If she never wakes up, won't her daughter be a widow for the rest of her life?
Also, with so many things happening overnight, who can have so much energy?
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji said a few words, but they were also worried. If these things were connected and were done by the same force, it would be terrible.
You can easily overthrow the imperial court and change the dynasty.
But they just thought about it. There are not so many mysterious powers in this world. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court was the most powerful existence.
Li Jing, as the right servant, and Fang Xuanling, as the left servant, can be said to be the left and right prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty. However, Li Jing did not care about anything during this period, which made Fang Xuanling very anxious.
Such a big thing happened last night. We must discuss it carefully with Li Jing and come up with a solution. If something like this happens again, His Majesty will definitely be held accountable.
"My lord, wait a minute..."
Li Jing stopped and turned to look at Fang Xuanling, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Xing..."
"Pharmacist, you can't continue to do nothing like this. Your Majesty has granted you a marriage, which is a good thing for you."
Li Jing's face calmed down and he said calmly: "Mr.
have to……
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly in her heart, her mouth offended someone again.
"I'm afraid this matter is related to the assassination of King Shu!"
"I remember that the place where the Japanese people were exterminated and the place where the King of Shu got into trouble seemed to be both in Shuiqiao. First the King of Shu was assassinated, then the Japanese people were exterminated, and then strange things happened in the homes of the ministers..."
The smile on Fang Xuanling's face immediately solidified.
"If these things are connected, it's obvious that they were done by a group of people." After speaking, Li Jing bowed to signal, and then left.
"Does the pharmacist have any suspicions?"
"I'm not Master Yuan, can I still pinch you?"
Fang Xuanling stood there, unable to calm down for a long time. The same group of people did it. I would rather believe that this was an accident and that everything happened together by coincidence.
But he couldn't even convince himself.
"Who is it? Who has so much energy and does so many great things overnight without anyone noticing?"
It is difficult to draw a conclusion on this matter. We must investigate the whole story clearly, and maybe we can deduce something.
