Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-fifth: The Book of Punishments, Sentencing
After saying this, Changsun Wuji once again showed a sad look on his face.
Changsun Wuyi suddenly raised his brows and said: "Brother, I heard your remarks before, and it seems that the only people who know that the person behind Xuanwu Sect is the uncle, the Eighth Prince and Prime Minister Wei Zheng, right? Then
At that time, the emperor happened to be away, so the emperor actually did not hear the little tiger Lin An say with his own ears that the person behind the Xuanwu Sect is actually the clan uncle, right? "
"Well, having said that, my uncle was silent and didn't say a word. When we went to visit him, he just said that I had shamed my ancestors and didn't even eat? Isn't this proof that he is the Xuanwu Sect?
The person behind the scenes?"
Changsun Wuji patted his thigh.
But Changsun Wuyi continued: "Huh, as long as the emperor didn't hear it with his own ears, it doesn't count! As everyone says, true can be said to be false, and false can be said to be true! As long as there are not enough witnesses.
, we can completely clear Uncle Clan’s name!”
"Then, it depends on how you perform, brother! This matter is related to the reputation of our eldest grandson family! If my brother can help the family and prevent the emperor from killing the uncle, then I will write you into the eldest grandson family
It’s on the merit monument!”
"Haha, now, thank you brother!"
Changsun Wuyi stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Changsun Wuji, saying: "Don't worry, brother, just leave this matter to me! Now that I understand the ins and outs of the matter, I have found the key to exonerating my uncle.
Ordered!”
"Oh? So fast?" A flash of light flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes.
Changsun Wuyi nodded, smiled and said: "Yes, but the problem is, who dares to argue with the Eighth Prince and Prime Minister Wei Zheng in front of the Emperor! My eldest Sun Wuyi happens to be unparalleled in the world in arguing, and there is currently no one who can argue with me.
He can surpass me in eloquence! Moreover, more than ten years ago, Prime Minister Wei Zheng was so angry that I vomited blood. I don’t think he can do anything to me, hahaha!”
Changsun Wuyi laughed.
But Changsun Wuji still frowned and said: "Brother, that eighth prince is also a difficult child to deal with!"
"I know that the Eighth Prince is recognized as the best prodigy in the world by the Tang Dynasty. His deeds have already spread to our Xuanzhou City!" Changsun Wuyi smiled contemptuously and said: "But it doesn't matter, no matter how powerful the Eighth Prince is,
He is just a six-year-old child, how strong can he be in thinking and debating?"
"Brother, you must not take it lightly! If you win the argument, then the eldest uncle of the clan, Sun Shunde, will be the least likely to die. But if you lose the argument, our eldest son family will suffer another layer of reputation damage, which can be said to add insult to injury.
ah!"
"Don't worry, brother, we won't lose!"
In the Changsun Mansion, Changsun Wuyi confidently waved the folding fan in his hand.
…
On the other side, inside the Zhenwang Mansion.
Li Chengfeng and Li Lizhi were indoors, blowing on the homemade air conditioner and eating iced watermelon, feeling very happy.
"Brother Feng'er, I heard that Duke Sun Shunde will be beheaded at noon when he goes to court this morning!"
Beside, Li Lizhi sat on a chair and said to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng shook his head slightly and said: "Just behead him! In this era when human life is so precious, it is normal for several ministers to die!"
"Well, then when the emperor comes to court, shall we go and listen to the court?"
Li Lizhi asked curiously.
Li Chengfeng still shook his little head and said: "If you don't go, no matter how much you hear, it has nothing to do with us! It's nothing more than a three-division trial, convicting the Duke of Sun Shunde, and then pronouncing the death penalty!"
"As for beheading, there's nothing interesting to watch! It's easy to have nightmares in the middle of the night if you watch too much!"
"Haha, I didn't expect that, brother Feng'er, you are still a coward?"
Li Lizhi covered her rosy little mouth and joked about Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng curled his lips and said: "Is that the same thing? I'm not a coward, this is the difference between human nature! Where I lived since I was a child, I have never seen dead people, nor have I ever seen anyone kill someone.
!Nowhere is it like here. People are beheaded at every turn, people starve to death on the road, and robbers kill people..."
"What? Brother, don't you live on the border of Youzhou City? Isn't there more chaos there?" Li Lizhi asked in surprise.
Li Chengfeng said: "Having said that, at least where we are, people get along harmoniously and there are not so many intrigues!"
"Yeah, that's right!"
Li Lizhi nodded in agreement.
In any case, he had no intention of attending the court hearing, nor did he intend to see Changsun Shunde being beheaded.
Because Li Chengfeng felt that if Li Shimin was determined to kill his eldest son, Shunde, then no one in the world could save him.
…
On the other side, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wuyi had already put on their official uniforms and went to the court together to attend court.
Although Changsun Wuyi clashed with the emperor and asked Li Shimin to remove him from his official position, after his disdainful efforts later, he still became the tax collector of Xuanzhou City, so he also had the power to come to court, but Li Shimin never
They didn't even announce his entry into the palace.
However, this time, Changsun Wuyi had no choice but to come back to the world and show his ability to refute geniuses!
This time, he must turn the black into white and clear the eldest grandson Shunde's name, so that the eldest grandson's family will not bear the shame.
When Changsun Wuyi appeared in the court, Li Shimin's expression obviously tightened.
Changsun Wuyi? Why is he here?
He was dismissed from office ten years ago by himself because he was drunk and talking nonsense.
And now, working as the tax collector in Xuanzhou City?
Why did he come to court today?
No need to think too much, it must be for the eldest grandson Shunde.
Could it be that he wanted to defend Changsun Shunde and exonerate him?
Hum, I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how can I give him this opportunity?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes couldn't help but darken.
Changsun Shunde, he will be beheaded today.
"My dear friends, you must know why I asked you to come to court today, right?"
"That's right, it is the Grand Duke Sun Shunde who privately established a Xuanwu Sect among the people! Within the Xuanwu Sect, everyone is a ferocious person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. They even almost killed me when I was visiting incognito? So?
, these few sins alone are enough to kill the eldest grandson Shunde!"
"Minister of Punishment, Wu Chi! Now, you can announce Zhang Shun and Shunde's charges to all the ministers!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Perhaps, many ministers still don't know what crime Changsun Shunde committed.
Today, Li Shimin will ask Wu Chi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, to tell all the crimes committed by the eldest grandson Shunde in detail!
