Chapter 411: I ordered the person to be killed
"Your Majesty, I am from the Cui family of Boling. I went to Cui Mansion as soon as the news of the death of the head of the family Cui Yan came."
"In the secret room of Cui's mansion, I found the death letter of the head of the family Cui Yan."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
I was afraid that this book of death would also write about myself!
"This book of death was written by the head of the family Cui Yan. If Zhao County Duke suspects it, it can make people identify the authenticity."
"It says that the head of the family Cui Yan offended Zhao County Duke because of the bookstore and held a grudge for Zhao County Duke. Unexpectedly, after so long, Zhao County Duke actually smashed all the shops of Cui Family."
"The head of the family Cui Yan felt sorry for his ancestors and had no shame to stay in Chang'an again. He was afraid of Zhao County Duke's revenge again, so his whole family moved out of Chang'an City."
"On the eve of his departure, he was afraid that he would be harmed by others in the future, and the murderer was free from justice, so he wrote this death letter."
"I never thought that Cui Yan and the Cui family had all died outside the city."
"Please avenge my family!" Censor Cui was crying at this moment, and he felt that he was full of grievances.
When others saw it, it was sympathy.
Li Chengqian handed the letter to the emperor.
After reading it, Li Shimin's face became more and more gloomy.
If this continues, Zhao Chen will definitely be investigated today!
"Guanyin maid!" Li Shimin handed the letter to Empress Changsun again.
He didn't know whether he should reveal Zhao Chen's identity at this time.
If it is revealed that Zhao Chen can save his life, then the Tang Dynasty will be completely cut off from him in the future.
If it is not revealed, how could Zhao Chen avoid today?
Even if this so-called death book has many loopholes, as long as it is really written by Cui Yan, no matter how Zhao Chen explains this way, the one who killed Cui Yan is Zhao Chen!
Angry people have no ability to think.
This is especially true for these angry and scared people!
"Your Majesty, now the evidence is conclusive. Please punish Zhao Chen."
"Zhao Chen killed eighty-two people in Boling Cui's family, and his crimes are unforgivable. Please ask Your Majesty to push him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him to comfort the spirit of the Cui family in heaven."
"Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler for all ages. You should use sharp means to get rid of the slandered ministers around you."
OK, Li Shimin had just thought about punishing Zhao Chen before, but now these guys are good, so he directly let himself push Zhao Chen out and kill him.
Li Shimin was very annoyed, but he didn't know how to speak for Zhao Chen.
Wei Zheng lowered his head and said nothing.
He didn't expect that this would be so turbulent.
Now that the emperor cannot forcibly protect Zhao Chen.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong looked at each other, and their fists were twisted together, but they slowly released.
They are not teenagers, and no matter how angry they are, they cannot act voluntarily.
"Your Majesty, although this book of Death is in it, and the handwriting is indeed Cui Yan himself, there are many loopholes in it, which does not mean that the Duke of Zhao County is the murderer who killed Cui Yan and others."
"The Zhao County Gong has made great achievements in our Tang Dynasty. You must not draw a conclusion about this matter. You still have to find out the truth." Fang Xuanling's sudden speech surprised everyone.
Fang Xuanling was an old minister of the emperor. Apart from helping the prince with government affairs before, he had never seen him get along with anyone.
Today I actually spoke for Zhao Chen!
"Your Majesty, the evidence is solid. How could Zhao Chen ignore the fact that he killed more than 80 people in the Cui family because he made contributions to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Give merit is merit, and fault is fault. I beg Your Majesty to deal with Zhao Chen..."
"Old guy, don't be ungrateful. Believe it or not, I will chop you up!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help it.
This old guy from the Cui family clearly wanted to take this opportunity to completely kill Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is a shameful life, and he is not afraid of threats from the Duke. But if he dies, he can get the justice of the Cui family with more than 80 lives. I am willing to kill him." Censor Cui cried, and his miserable voice almost made Cheng Yaojin rush over directly.
"Old thing..." Cheng Yaojin was stopped by Qin Qiong and could only scold him angrily.
"Your Majesty, the evidence is solid. Could it be that Your Majesty still favors Zhao Chen?"
"If Your Majesty cannot handle it impartially, then I can only surrender and return home!"
"The advice of civil and military officials in the court is actually no more important than a yellow-haired boy, and I am in my heart..."
"Enough." Li Shimin slapped the table suddenly, stood on it with a cold expression, and glanced at everyone with a cold look.
Suddenly, I closed my eyes again, and when I opened them again, I became extremely quiet again.
"Zhao Chen is a hero of my Tang Dynasty. I will protect his life." Li Shimin said slowly.
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty's move is a foolish move. Historians will definitely record it in the book. How should people in the future judge Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen deserves to die!"
"Random." Li Shimin scolded coldly, his eyes falling on several of the most fierce officials.
The few people trembled all over and their voices stopped immediately.
"There are many loopholes in the matter about Zhao Chen killing the 82 members of the Cui family in Boling. Just a letter cannot be used as direct evidence. However, in order to calm the people's hearts, I decided to remove Zhao Chen..."
"Wait a minute, I have something to say!" Li Shimin interrupted Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen raised his hand and shouted to Li Shimin.
"What are you going to say?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and he held back his anger.
He had used the emperor's rights to save Zhao Chen's life. The matter was over immediately. This kid interrupted himself at this time.
Do you think he is not embarrassed enough?
After today, all kinds of rumors will surely spread among the people.
Each one is a smear on his image of Li Shimin.
"Zhao Chen, Your Majesty will not let you interrupt." Empress Changsun was also shocked.
In this situation, saving your life is longer than anything else.
If the ministers objected again, Zhao Chen's life would be really not be able to be saved.
"Empress Qibing, as the adults said, I, Zhao Chen, had someone do it..."
"Zhao Chen, do you know what you are talking about?" Empress Changsun was confused at the time and her whole body was trembling slightly.
Xiao Lizhi followed and was frightened to tears.
The entire Tai Chi Hall was quiet, and only Xiao Lizhi's crying was heard.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong's legs were both weak and they looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief.
Wei Zheng shook his body and grabbed the pillar beside him before he did not fall down.
Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed deeply.
Li Chengqian pinched himself and realized that the scene just now was not a dream.
Li Tai was stunned, even his breathing stopped.
Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen, and a strong anger flashed in his eyes.
He now wanted to rush over and slapped Zhao Chen hard.
"I think all the adults are also quarreling. Isn't it just that I want to see me, Zhao Chen, die here today?"
"Yes, the 82 people in the Boling Cui family were all killed by me."
