After the prince finished speaking, Dou Jing also realized that the so-called re-investigation of the case was just rhetoric. The prince had no intention of letting Dou go. He was so naive. He knew that the prince was probably the mastermind behind the case, but he actually
He also hoped that the prince could let Dou go.
King Li Yuanji of Qi came out, stood beside the prince, and said loudly: "The Dou family is a relative of the emperor. To be honest, I don't believe that the Dou family has any intention to rebel. But the problem is that now there are witnesses.
The physical evidence is all there. If this is not enough to conclude the case, then what is the meaning of the existence of the Tang Dynasty criminal law? The Wu De law was compiled and tampered with, not to do special things."
The first half of the sentence seemed to be comforting, while the second half exposed Li Yuanji's face.
"King Qi." Li Shimin said: "Wu Delu certainly did not do anything special, but there are many doubts about this case. It is very inappropriate to jump to conclusions and slander the Dou family."
"Then I dare to ask the King of Qin what solution can be used to clear the suspicion of Dou?" Li Yuanji asked.
Li Shimin cupped his hands towards Li Yuan and said: "Father, I still believe that this case should be investigated in detail and the Dou family should be cleared."
"How to investigate in detail?" Li Yuanji asked: "Does the King of Qin mean to let the two prime ministers prove their innocence?"
Chen Shuda said: "What the King of Qi said is wrong. Even if this case is related to the Dou family, it has absolutely nothing to do with the two Prime Ministers. Why would the King of Qi bite the two Prime Ministers?"
"Insolent!" Li Yuanji scolded angrily, "I have never tried to bite you. Don't talk nonsense here to undermine my innocence. When the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, encountered such a major rebellion, he did not want to share the worries of the king. Instead, he
What is your intention to attack this king with such a clever tongue?"
Are you innocent? Chen Shuda rolled his eyes, cupped his hands towards Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to the imperial court. Please give me a clear warning."
"Chen Xiang, please be patient." Li Yuan comforted Chen Shuda and looked at Li Shimin, "Who does King Qin think can thoroughly investigate this case and clear Dou's name?"
"My son is willing to investigate!" Li Shimin clasped his fists.
Dou Kang raised his head and looked at Li Shimin, feeling slightly moved. In the end, King Qin was still on their side.
"That's inappropriate." Li Jiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, you are busy with military affairs and training your troops. How can you have time to thoroughly investigate such important cases?"
Li Shimin took a deep breath and said slowly: "Although military affairs are busy, this case is related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. If it cannot be solved, even if the Tang Dynasty has millions of troops, it will be like withered grass."
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and his voice became slightly colder, "According to what you said, if the Dou family cannot be cleared, the Tang Dynasty will fall tomorrow?"
"I never meant this." Li Shimin quickly defended.
"Huh!" Li Yuan snorted coldly.
Li Zhiyun lowered his head and looked at the Wat Board. It was as smooth as jade and had no writing on it. The Wat Board was used to record the saint's tasks concisely and concisely, so that it could be sorted out when he went back to the next day. Sometimes the Wat Board would also be written in advance.
The content to be presented is similar to a post-it note. Of course, most people’s wat boards are used for clapping.
At this time, seeing that the court situation was in a stalemate, the unknown Xiao Yu walked out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think this case still needs to be investigated in detail, but the person who investigates the case must be decided by your Majesty himself."
Li Shimin said: "What Xiao Xiangguo said is reasonable, and I agree with you."
After saying that, he looked at Dou Kang and signaled. The latter understood immediately and cupped his hands and said: "The person who investigates the case must be appointed by His Majesty, and I will second it."
The confrontation just now made Dou Kang understand that no matter how much he wastes his words, the prince's family will never give up. In this case, they can only delay it temporarily.
Immediately afterwards, officials from the King of Qin's family asked Li Yuan to appoint the person to investigate the case.
At this time, Li Yuanji said: "Father, my son and minister are not talented. I would like to share my father's worries. Please allow my father to allow me to take charge of investigating this case and restore the innocence of the Dou family."
Dou Kang sneered and asked King Qi to investigate the case. Was it because he thought Dou's death was not fast enough?
The prince said: "Father, since Yuanji is determined, I thought we could let Yuanji try."
"Inappropriate." Li Shimin retorted, "The King of Qi holds many positions and has the important task of guarding Taiyuan. How can he investigate the case? What's more, the King of Qi has never had any experience in investigating cases. I ask my father to think again.
Choose someone else.”
"Do you want experience in investigating cases?" The prince said, "Zheng Shanguo, the minister of Dali Temple, has rich experience and can be in charge of investigating this case."
Li Shimin clenched his fist suddenly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Li Yuanji smiled proudly at Li Shimin, clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "I think what the prince brother said is very reasonable. Dali Temple is originally used to investigate cases, and it is the safest way for Zheng Siqing to investigate the case. King Qin, what do you think of me?
If you don’t have experience in investigating crimes, you can’t question Zheng Siqing’s experience in investigating crimes, right?”
Zheng Shanguo's waist straightened instantly.
Look at me, look at me, look at me!
Seeing Li Yuanji's face as if he was a villain, Li Shimin felt furious and wanted to rush up and kick him.
Chen Shuda retorted: "When the minister of Dali Temple was investigating the case, he was beaten and all the prisoners were killed. It would be a big mistake to let him investigate the case. I suggest that your Majesty choose another person."
Zheng Shanguo's face darkened and he said gloomily: "Those people secretly hid crossbows and deliberately plotted rebellion, just like dead men. If they were not punished severely, they would not confess at all. Chen Xiang was not from Dali Temple and did not understand the twists and turns of investigating the case.
, it’s better not to be too smart.”
"You..." Chen Shuda snorted coldly. Zheng Shanguo didn't give him any face, which made him very unhappy.
Li Shimin's brows gradually twisted into twists. Just now Li Yuanji had bitten Prime Minister Dou, and now Zheng Shanguo directly called the prisoner a 'dead soldier.' If the delay continued, he was afraid that he would even say something like 'Prime Minister Dou planned a rebellion.'
Li Yuan looked at the ministers and said, "Dear ladies, who of you is willing to take charge of investigating this case?"
Everyone: "......"
In such a big pit, whoever jumps will be a fool.
Li Yuanji looked at Li Yuan excitedly, barely raising his hand to signal. But Li Yuan only glanced at him and didn't look at him again.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji was a little disappointed.
After looking around, no one took the initiative to invite me.
So, Li Yuandao: "It seems that all of you, dear friends, feel that there is no need to investigate this case further, so..."
"Father." Li Shimin hurriedly spoke, interrupting Li Yuan.
"Does King Qin want to investigate this case?" Li Yuan asked.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Jiancheng, who was smiling across from him. He knew very well that as long as he or one of his people opened his mouth to investigate the case, the prince would definitely object.
Is there no other way?
At this time, he couldn't help feeling sad. Fang Xuanling hit the nail on the head when he said that the crux of the case was not the outcome, but the father's attitude.
But my father...
Thinking of this, he saw the expectant eyes of Dou Kang, Dou Jing and others again.
That's all, I'll just...
He wanted to try again and ask Ying to investigate the case, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Li Zhiyun behind Li Yuanji, his head bowed and silent.
King of Chu!
"Father, I think the King of Chu can preside over this case!"
After the words fell, the world focused on King Chu.
Li Zhiyun: "......"
Li Shimin, what do you mean by riding on a horse? You're pulling a back, right?
The prince and Li Yuanji looked at each other, feeling unhappy.
The King of Chu has nothing to do with this case, and he is not close to the Dou family. If the King of Chu is asked to investigate the case, maybe his father will agree.
The prince quickly said: "Father, my fifth brother has no experience in investigating cases. If I let him preside over the trial, I'm afraid things will go wrong."
