Now he finally understood why the eldest son and the second eldest son fought and the third son was beaten to death.
If you agree to the trial, you will get into trouble. If you don't agree to the matter, you will show that you are a waste.
He couldn't stay out of the struggle between the prince and the King of Qin.
As for Li Shimin, he doesn't think Li Zhiyun can investigate the case clearly. He just wants to delay time.
"Father, this case involves two prime ministers, so the royal family must preside over the case. As for what the prince said, Zhiyun is not experienced enough and may not be able to solve the case. I think that my father can send experienced people to assist the King of Chu in thoroughly investigating the case.
."
Li Yuan's eyes were slightly focused and he did not speak immediately.
After a while, he looked at Li Zhiyun and said, "King Chu, King Qin recommended you to preside over the case of the Dou family's secret possession of crossbows. Are you confident in solving the case?"
I have no confidence.
Li Zhiyun sighed slightly in his heart, walked out of the row, picked up the wat board, and said: "Father, I am guilty."
"What crime?" Li Yuan was puzzled.
Not only Li Yuan is puzzled, but even the officials in the palace are confused. You haven't investigated the case yet, you have a bad crime.
"I just thought that since the case has been tried by Dali Temple, and Zheng Siqing has also found out the truth, I didn't take this matter seriously, but I was thinking about what the next step of the Tang Dynasty should be."
Li Yuan blinked and asked, "Are you distracted?"
"Yes." Li Zhiyun blushed, extremely 'ashamed'.
"Shuzi!" Li Yuan scolded angrily, "I asked you to go to the Ministry of Industry to observe government affairs because I wanted you to participate more in government affairs, but you didn't take what I said to heart at all. You are simply unreasonable!"
"I know my mistake." Li Zhiyun lowered his head.
The courtiers were also confused. This King of Chu was a little too unreliable to be distracted at such a time.
Of course, a treacherous and cunning person like Pei Ji would not agree with Li Zhiyun's words, so he asked: "Can your Highness think about the next step for Datang?"
Aren't you thinking about national affairs? Then just say that you are ugly and you will come out, otherwise you are just avoiding the problem!
Li Zhiyun chuckled and thought to himself; This old guy Pei Ji is indeed a troublemaker. His purpose is to expose himself, and then make Li Yuan angry, and then drag himself into the water. However, Li Zhiyun does not remember that he has offended Pei Ji.
This old guy is a bit too arrogant.
After all, it was Li Zhiyun's proposal to resolve the Turkic matter as soon as possible that made Pei Ji a little unhappy. He was originally planning to use some small means to kill Pei Ju, but he did not expect that Li Zhiyun sent a memorial to Lao Li Yuan, which reminded the courtiers of the Turkic matter, and then
Liu Wenjing sent an envoy to the Turks to help Pei Ju resolve the peace talks.
Now that Li Zhiyun himself has revealed a flaw, Pei Ji doesn't mind making up for it. He doesn't want to kill Li Zhiyun, he just wants to make him feel uncomfortable.
Li Zhiyun said to Pei Ji: "I have been thinking hard and found that the current situation in our country is very bad."
Hearing this, Pei Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled sinisterly, "I dare you to ask the King of Chu for advice."
Li Zhiyun ignored him again, but cupped his hands towards Li Yuan and said: "Father, although Liu Wuzhou is dead and the troubles in Taiyuan have been lifted, the separatist situation of the world's heroes has not changed. Liang Shidu is eyeing the north of Guanbei, and the Turks are close behind him.
, can invade Guanzhong from the south at any time, this is one of them."
"Hebei Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao, the three heroes stand side by side. Although they are like horns to each other, they may also defect to the Turks at any time, lead the bandits south and poison Hebei. This is the second one."
"Wang Shichong of the Central Plains and Li Zitong of the East China Sea have accumulated strength and are ready to go. These are the three."
"Jianghuai's decline in Faxing, Du Fuwei, the puppet Liang Xiaoxian, and the bandit Lin Shihong are all in the south, and their power cannot be underestimated. These are the four most powerful ones."
"At this time, I, the Tang Dynasty, should be on guard, build walls high, store up supplies, first control the strong, then capture the weak, and unify the world..."
"Zhiyun, now is not the time to talk about this." Li Yuanji ruthlessly interrupted Li Zhiyun's singing.
Li Shimin's eyes tightened, and he was a little angry. He had just heard Li Zhiyun talk about this, and he was very emotional. In this large court, everyone only wanted to fight for power and profit, but the fifth brother had exactly the same idea as him and knew how to deal with the outside world.
Li Zhiyun coughed dryly and said, "Fourth brother taught you a lesson."
After saying that, Li Zhiyun silently retreated into the crowd and stopped showing his head.
"Come out." Li Yuan stared at Li Zhiyun.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun walked out of the crowd silently.
"Forget it this time. Since you are indeed loyal to the country, I will not hold you accountable for your disrespect in court." Li Yuan glanced at his son, and then glanced at Dou Wei who had been silent.
"The King of Qin just recommended you to preside over the case of the Dou family's secret possession of crossbows. What do you think?"
Li Zhiyun frowned and said: "Father, isn't the truth now clear? The witnesses and material evidence are all there, why do you want me to preside over the trial? Besides, I have never investigated a case and have no experience at all. It was the Ministry of Industry that found the stolen weapons. "Master Wu, I have not made any merits. Now if I ask you to take charge of the case, I am afraid that I will be more than willing but not strong enough."
The clean rejection made the prince very satisfied.
King Qin smiled and said: "Zhiyun, don't worry. Although you will be in charge of the trial of this case, my father will have experienced people assist you, so you can rest assured."
Fuck you!
Li Zhiyun really wanted to fence with Li Shimin in real life and stab him to death.
You can't talk without me, right?
Li Zhiyun thought about ten thousand possibilities in advance, but he never thought that if the stalemate reached the end, he would find someone to re-investigate the case.
Lao Li, aren't you going to use the Dou family? You can do something useful!
"If my father has your destiny, I will naturally not refuse. But I don't know much about this matter. If the case cannot be solved in a short time, I ask my father not to accuse me."
You can check it out if you want me to, but I can't find it out. I delayed it for a long time and was eventually overturned by Dou. So don't blame me.
Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression changed and he thought for a moment in the hall without speaking.
The expressions of the Crown Prince and King Qi also turned gloomy. They never expected that King Qin would involve King Chu, which would only increase the number of variables.
During this stalemate, Dou Wei suddenly said: "Your Majesty."
Um?
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Dou Wei.
Old fox, you can't hold it in any longer.
"What does Prime Minister Dou have to say?"
"I and the Dou family have always been loyal to Your Majesty and the court, and have never had any second thoughts. Now someone is framing the Dou family. I will never admit it. Your Majesty, please investigate carefully."
"Your Majesty, please investigate in detail." All Guanlong officials agreed.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists quietly.
"In that case, let's investigate." Immediately, he looked at Li Zhiyun and said, "King Chu."
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun sighed silently.
"My son is here."
"I appoint you as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and concurrently as the Minister of Punishment. Together with Tang Jian, the Minister of Zhongshu, and Wen Dayou, the Minister of Zhongshu, you will jointly preside over this case. You must get to the bottom of it for me!"
"My son, I obey your orders."
"I obey the decree." Tang Jian and Wen Dayou stepped forward one after another.
The Prince of Chu and the King of Qin were asked to preside over the trial, and neither the Crown Prince nor the King of Qin could refuse. This was because the King of Chu did not belong to either of their camps, and he had nothing to do with the Dou family.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan suddenly glanced at Pei Ji, who immediately understood.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"explain."
Pei Ji said: "Since we have to re-investigate the case thoroughly, everyone in the Dou family is suspected. I believe that the two Prime Ministers of Dou are not allowed to enter the political hall to discuss politics for the time being. They should fully cooperate with the King of Chu in investigating the case, so that they can leave as soon as possible."
Suspicion."
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face instantly became extremely ugly.
And Dou Wei also had a pale face with a sinister look on his face.
The reason is very clear. If the King of Chu is unable to solve the case as he said, then Dou Wei and Dou Kang will be forced to stay at home and unable to participate in government affairs.
But the problem is that the King of Chu is not one of their own, plus Tang Jian and Wen Dayou, even if the King of Qin and the Dou family want to find a scapegoat, they will not be able to replace them for a while.
The longer time passes, the influence of Dou Wei and Dou Kang in the court will become weaker and weaker. By then, it will no longer matter what the truth is, because Lao Li's goal has been achieved, and he has killed two birds with one stone.
If the case remains unclear, Dou Wei and Dou Kang will have no choice but to stay idle at home.
What a great move to get rid of the firewood!
Li Zhiyun's eyes flashed with a strange color, Lao Li is so awesome, so strong, so awesome!
