As soon as Fang Xuanling came to the court hall.
Before Li Shimin could speak, Fang Xuanling knelt down and knelt on the ground, saying: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of a crime that deserves death. Please punish me. I am willing to accept the punishment!"
"Hey, get up, Mr. Liang Guogong, just tell us what you have experienced before in front of everyone!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling saw that she seemed to have no chance, so she might as well confess.
Fang Xuanling said: "Report to the emperor! A few days ago, Wei Chen went south to Chang'an City to inspect the people's situation in the border areas. When Wei Chen came back, he found that the one hundred thousand gold given to him by the emperor was missing! There was a thief.
He stole 100,000 gold and used stones to cover up his crime! Wei Chen thought about it and decided to handle the matter himself! Unfortunately, Wei Chen has no virtue or talent and can't find any clues at all! Moreover, the thief stole it
The method is so clever that even the humble minister has no clue at all! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling knew that he had made a big mistake, and the title of himself changed from Lao Chen to Wei Chen.
However, when Fang Xuanling revealed the case of one hundred thousand gold being stolen, everyone in the civil and military court was shocked.
"No wonder the emperor came to court temporarily. It turned out to be because of this incident?"
"No way? A thief actually dared to commit a crime in the palace? And what he stole was gold for disaster relief?"
"That's one hundred thousand gold. That thief committed a crime under the eyes of the emperor. He is really looking for death!"
"However, what I am concerned about now is how the emperor will deal with Liang Guogong? Alas, after all, when encountering such a thing, Liang Guogong is also unlucky!"
The ministers all over the court suddenly started talking about it.
Li Shimin also sighed and said: "Get up, Duke Liang!"
"Your Majesty, I know my crime, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Fang Xuanling still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Li Shimin said again: "Liang Guogong, I know this matter, so I can't blame you! Although you were negligent, the crime should be blamed on the thief! Moreover, you also went south to Chang'an City a few days ago to inspect the people's situation! That's it!
A good minister who loves his country and his people, how can I be willing to punish him?"
"Ah? Your Majesty, you..."
Fang Xuanling raised her head, tears streaming down her face.
He didn't expect that he had committed such a big mistake. Instead of punishing him, the emperor comforted him?
Fang Xuanling was so moved that when she raised her head, she was speechless and choked.
"Your Majesty, please punish me. This will make me feel better! After all, I lost one hundred thousand gold, and I deserve to die!"
Fang Xuanling spoke with tears in her eyes, and many ministers wetted their eyes as they watched.
Fang Xuanling served the country and the people, and they all saw it.
It was rare that Li Shimin didn't punish Fang Xuanling, which made all the ministers even more full of admiration for Li Shimin.
And Li Shimin was also a wise king, he knew how to appease his ministers.
What if Fang Xuanling is killed because he made these mistakes?
So in the future, who else above the court will dare to take over Li Shimin's important task?
Moreover, at this moment, one hundred thousand gold has been stolen. What Li Shimin should be concerned about is who stole the one hundred thousand gold, instead of punishing Fang Xuanling before the gold is found.
If this happens, I'm afraid it will only chill the hearts of countless ministers.
Secondly, isn’t there Li Chengfeng, who is so sworn in?
This is the key point of Li Shimin's strategy.
I don't know why, but when Li Shimin saw Li Chengfeng's confident look, he felt that Li Chengfeng would be able to find the stolen 100,000 gold this time and catch the thief.
Because, he blocked the life of his beloved dog.
That's why Li Shimin seemed so confident.
"Your Majesty, you must punish me, otherwise I will feel very sorry for you!"
Fang Xuanling still clasped his fists and bowed: "Otherwise, the emperor will punish the old minister and go to the frontier to protect the country for three years. After three years, the old minister will come back and serve the Tang Dynasty!"
"Oh, it's serious, Mr. Liang Guogong! You are the pillar of the country. If you are asked to protect the territory, you will be overqualified and underused!"
Li Shimin's face showed a trace of satisfaction, and he turned to look at Li Chengfeng and said: "How about this! I will send the eighth prince Li Chengfeng and the imperial guard Li Junxian to assist you in investigating the gold theft case! And I will send you
I only give you three days!"
"Within three days, as long as you can solve the case and return, then I will forgive Liang Guogong's crime, and I will also forgive the Eighth Prince, the beast that bit me on the butt! How about the opposite?"
"Ah, this..."
Fang Xuanling was stunned. He really didn't expect that Li Shimin would be so kind to him?
He actually sent the world's best prodigy, the Eighth Prince, to help him solve the case?
Wei Zheng elbowed Fang Xuanling and said: "Dong Liang, why are you so stunned? Why don't you thank the emperor quickly?"
"Yes, yes, veteran, thank you for your great kindness! I have nothing to repay! In the coming years, my ancestors and descendants will definitely make every effort to contribute to the Tang Dynasty!"
"Well, Mr. Liang Guogong, it's good if you have this intention!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Mr. Liang Guogong, Feng'er, you two should not be idle now! From now on, it will be the beginning of your three days to solve the case! After three days, I will know your secrets
How should we punish the case based on the circumstances of the case being solved?"
"Yes, I have thanked the emperor for the gift!"
"Okay, I would like to thank my father for sparing Erbai's life!"
Li Chengfeng smiled and touched the big black dog beside him, and said with a smile: "Erbai, it's up to you to solve the case this time! As for whether you can survive, it depends on whether you can solve the case!"
"Woof woof!"
The big black dog yelled, and Manchao Wenwu was startled.
It turns out that it was this big dog that bit the emperor on the butt?
Fortunately, it can still survive to this day? If it hadn't been the eighth prince's pet dog, I'm afraid it would have become a meal by now, right?
Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng led the big black dog and walked from the listening stage to Fang Xuanling's side.
Li Chengfeng said: "Liang Guogong, without further delay, let's go solve the case and catch the thief now!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince! I am so lucky to have you help me!"
"You're welcome, Duke Liang. I see your contribution to the Tang Dynasty. You are the one I should admire!"
"No, no, no, I was just doing my duty. The Eighth Prince, you are the best among men. I have been so kind and kind, but I can't repay you for it!"
"Haha, okay, okay, let's go solve the case now!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"
After the two exchanged business blows, they joined hands to solve the case and catch the thief.
…
Later, Li Chengfeng and Li Junxian followed Fang Xuanling to his home, Mr. Liang's mansion.
Li Shimin sent Li Junxian to follow Li Chengfeng because he wanted Li Junxian to protect Li Chengfeng while also reporting their situation to him accurately in a timely manner.
