Li Shimin's face turned purple with anger, his hands were trembling, he grabbed the plate on the table and threw it to the ground.
"Rebellion, all of them, all of them! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Cheng Yaojin beside him lowered his head and said nothing.
I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so angry.
It feels more like he made a mistake.
Queen Changsun asked: "Zhijie, did you just say that Qian'er went to a brothel?"
"Yes, Queen, I did see him and Ji Jingzong go to the brothel together."
"Were you there at that time?"
Cheng Yaojin remained silent.
The expression is a little awkward.
Yes, he was there at the time.
But this is not the point.
The point is that the prince went to a brothel, why do you care about me?
"Queen, I thought that the prince's visit to a brothel was a disservice to the royal family, so I came to retaliate."
What this means is that I reported it with good intentions, but you want to investigate me? Isn’t this unreasonable?
Cheng Yaojin's way of handling this kind of matter is not the best, but it is not bad after all.
And this matter cannot be admitted until death, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no good fruits to eat when I go back.
"Well, the key to this matter is not to know the moral integrity, but to the prince himself. As for the knowledge of moral integrity, he is right. I also want to encourage the ministers to learn from him in the future. Especially when it comes to the royal family's face, they must do it. Encourage people to report, otherwise we will all be kept in the dark. If some people take the wrong path, it will be too late to regret."
Li Shimin said.
In history, the incident of the prince breaking his back happened because there was little discipline for the prince Li Chengqian.
Then Li Shimin said solemnly: "Here, let the prince come over!"
What needs to be dealt with is to be dealt with well.
A eunuch took the order.
"yes!"
"Wait! Xu Jingzong and Kong Yingda are also calling over!"
There is nothing wrong with calling him Xu Jingzong, but why call him Kong Yingda?
Li Shimin's operation is puzzling.
"yes!"
Following the eunuch out the door.
Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I'd better avoid it first! To avoid embarrassment!"
This matter involves the prince.
There are two reasons why he can't stay here.
First, he was a whistleblower, and Li Chengqian found out about it, which led to a bad end.
Secondly, this kind of thing is better taught behind closed doors. Even though he is an outsider, it is not convenient for him to stay here.
Li Shimin thought for a while, but still rejected Cheng Yaojin's request.
"No! You just stay here, and you don't have to worry about him thinking about it. With me here, and you are also his elder, what else can he do?"
After doing this, Li Chengqian must hate Cheng Yaojin to death.
Although he had Li Shimin's support, Cheng Yaojin would rather not have this kind of support.
He didn't want to come here originally, but it wasn't Li Min who forced him to come here, but now he feels relieved and doesn't have to be trapped in this whirlpool.
At this time, he was just a chess piece, hovering between Li Min and Li Shimin.
Looking at Cheng Yaojin, there was something wrong with his expression.
Li Shimin added: "Of course, I will mention your behavior in the morning tomorrow morning and reward you heavily. This is for the dignity of the royal family and for the future of the prince. This must be advocated!"
Cheng Yaojin:......
Why does it feel like rewarding whistleblowers? This kind of behavior does not seem very honorable.
He hated Li Min to death, but if he hadn't gone to Yihong Mansion, none of these things would have happened.
If I had known earlier, I would have called Fang Xuanling in the morning...
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yaojin also has to thank Li Shimin.
He would rather not have this kind of favor.
After a while, a eunuch came running over.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
"Why so slow? What does this kid want to do?"
Li Shimin was furious.
The eunuch was startled.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is injured at the moment and is walking with a limp, so he is walking slowly."
As soon as these words came out, Queen Changsun exclaimed: "What happened to Gan'er? What happened to him? Why is he injured again?"
It was because he was injured by Li Min before, so what about this time?
Little did they know that this time they were also related to Li Min, but not directly.
And the murderer's father is right in front of them.
Queen Changsun stood up and went outside.
Li Shimin was also puzzled.
Frowning.
"What's going on? What's going on? Zhijie, you were there at the time. How did he get injured?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know either! I left early at that time and I don't know whether the prince will come back next."
Cheng Yaojin was wronged so much that he didn't know anything. How could he know that Li Chengqian was beaten later?
But Li Shimin thought that he knew.
Until Li Chengqian hobbled into the palace.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen!"
"Qian'er, what's going on with you?"
Queen Changsun pulled Li Chengqian and asked.
How dare he say why?
Then he started to hesitate.
"Mother...I..."
"What's wrong, tell me, my mother will make the decision for you!"
Li Chengqian was even more afraid to say anything. The fact that he was beaten involved him going to a brothel. If he was told, he would definitely have a hard time.
Li Shimin looked at him with a livid face.
After seeing him injured, he seemed to be less angry, but he still couldn't forgive Li Chengqian.
Li Shimin didn't say anything, just looked at Li Chengqian.
Queen Changsun was anxious.
"Speak quickly, what's wrong?"
"Queen, come back and wait until Xu Jingzong arrives!"
Li Shimin said.
Queen Changsun knew that Li Shimin was still angry.
"Your Majesty, this... child has been beaten, why don't you pursue the case?"
"It's not a big deal to be beaten. Right now, we have one more thing to deal with. We'll talk about it when everyone is here!"
Li Shimin said.
Empress Changsun was a little disappointed and glanced at Li Chengqian again.
The child was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Who is so cruel?
"Why……"
Queen Changsun retreated.
Li Shimin then shouted: "You traitor, kneel down!"
"Your Majesty, he is injured, why not..."
"Queen, let's not talk about it, I naturally have a sense of discretion in this matter!"
Royal coercion is no joke.
Li Chengqian didn't know what happened. Although he was injured, he was a mute and couldn't explain the pain.
But when he learned that he had to wait for Xu Jingzong, he had an ominous premonition.
"Still not kneeling down!"
Li Shimin shouted again.
Li Chengqian had no choice but to kneel to the ground.
Empress Changsun on the other side couldn't control either.
Cheng Yaojin kept sighing. He didn't want to be a bad person. He made mistakes every time and made mistakes every step of the way.
It seems that today's business is not over yet.
After a while, Li Chengqian's legs were trembling, but Xu Jingzong and Kong Yingda did not arrive.
Queen Changsun advised:
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Qian'er get up first? Xu Jingzong won't come yet! Wait until he comes..."
"No! Just let him kneel!"
Li Shimin didn't listen to any explanation.
The scene was extremely embarrassing. At this time, probably no one wanted Xu Jingzong to enter the palace more than Li Chengqian.
Until a eunuch entered the palace and came to report.
