Chapter 410 Eliminate evil for the country, eradicate evil for the people
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Cui family!"
After the words fell, a row of ministers and Li Shimin raised their hands and shouted.
It really looked like the mountains were roaring and the sea was surging.
Li Shimin also couldn't understand what Zhao Chen wanted to do.
It would be fine if he decided that Cui Yan's death had nothing to do with him, and he had to provoke these people at this time.
Do you think you are not enough to be feared by these people?
Wei Zheng also looked confused.
But he didn't speak.
As the chief of Yushitai, Wei Zheng was not the first to reprimand Zhao Chen for his behavior, which was already a violation of his past code of conduct.
If you go up to help me again, that is really impossible!
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who were standing in the ranks of military generals, almost jumped up after hearing Zhao Chen's words.
What you are seeking today is stability, why would you use such words to provoke them?
"Zhao Chen, don't tell me whether this is true or not. I'll ask you again, was it you who did Cui Yan's death?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen and said slowly.
At the same time, he also gave Zhao Chen careful winks.
Li Shimin also knew that Cui Yan's death made the officials in the palace feel a little scared.
As the former head of an aristocratic family, Mr. Cui not only had his shop that he had run for more than ten years smashed in front of the people of the city.
That night, even Cui Yan, the head of the Cui family, and more than 80 members of the Cui family died outside Chang'an City.
How can such atrocities not scare everyone?
This is also the reason why so many people insist on letting the emperor capture Zhao Chen.
They are afraid.
Afraid that one day, Zhao Chen would deal with them in the same way.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen has been in the village of Wannian County these days and has never left the village. How did he kill Cui Yan?" Cheng Yaojin came out and defended Zhao Chen.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are eighty-two people in Cui Yan's group, thirty of them are bodyguards at his home, and they are very skilled. How could Zhao Chen kill them?" Qin Qiong also came out to express his grievance on Zhao Chen's behalf.
But only two people spoke for Zhao Chen.
Even if other people have this intention, they don't dare to be the leader at this moment.
After all, you are going against the officials.
Nothing good!
"Your Majesty, if Cui Yan and his party are killed, why does Zhao Chen need to do it himself?"
"Zheng Chumo and the others smashed up the Boling Cui family's shop before. Zhao Chen was not present, but all the people in Chang'an know that it was Zhao Chen's order!"
"Yes, if it weren't for Zhao Chen, who would have killed Cui Yan and his party? Eighty-two members of the Cui family died outside overnight."
"If we don't kill this man, how can we explain to the Cui family and the people of the world?"
"I beg your Majesty to kill this thief!"
"I beg your Majesty to kill this thief!"
There was another burst of excitement.
These people who came today seemed to want to kill Zhao Chen.
Empress Changsun sat on it, looking at the ministers in front of her, her heart sank.
According to the current situation, even if there is no definite evidence, Zhao Chen is definitely the murderer of Cui Yan.
The decisions made by the emperor were often unable to be based on his own ideas.
Especially Li Shimin, who cherishes feathers.
If Zhao Chen cannot produce evidence that he did not kill Cui Yan, then he is guilty.
If that's the case...
Empress Changsun no longer dared to think further.
"Zhao Chen, if you have anything to say, just ask." Queen Changsun said to Zhao Chen.
This is the first time that Zhao Chen has seen Queen Changsun in more than 20 days.
The smile flashed across his eyes, and he glanced at Li Chengqian, who was standing aside and had been silent. Finally, his eyes stopped on Li Shimin.
"You didn't find any evidence, so you said that I killed Cui Yan's family. I just want to ask, is this how you think about the Tang Dynasty?"
"The Dali Temple is in charge of prison litigation all over the world, and it also decides cases with such emotion?" The smile on Zhao Chen's face stung the officials of the Dali Temple, but they did not dare to refute.
In today's court meeting, they originally worked together to capture Zhao Chen.
It's nothing to let Zhao Chen enjoy his mouth at this moment!
"Today's court meeting is prepared for me, Zhao Chen. I also know that, the three provinces and six ministries, Dali Temple, Yushitai, Guanglu Temple, etc., I know that you are afraid."
"You are afraid that one day you will end up like Cui Yan."
"So, you are not going to let me live. Everyone, am I right?" Zhao Chen walked slowly in the Tai Chi Hall and said to everyone with a smile.
Zhao Chen knew what they were thinking, and the officials also knew what they were thinking.
But being exposed like this by Zhao Chen still made many people uncomfortable.
"Zhao Chen, don't talk nonsense. Today, all of us are doing harm to the country and the people. All you have to say is, did you send someone to kill Cui Yan's family?"
The Yushitai Yushi who started to speak walked up to Zhao Chen and glared at him.
"Cui Yushi, the Boling Cui family is your family, but there is no evidence. How do you say it is..."
"There is no evidence. Before, I just wanted to ask Mr. Zhao to plead guilty to the crime. I didn't expect that Zhao Chen actually wanted to quibble."
"In this case, I will take out the evidence and ask your majesty, empress, and colleagues to see how cruel County Duke Zhao is in front of me!"
Qin Qiong wanted to remind Zhao Chen of the identity of the censor. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard this person say that he had evidence.
Qin Qiong no longer knew how to speak.
Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth and looked at Zhao Chen again. Seeing that he still had a calm expression, he felt nervous.
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He had thought before that if everyone made a fuss, the matter would be over, and at most he would just give Zhao Chen a small punishment.
I didn't expect that the old guy from Yushitai would hold on to her so hard.
evidence?
Where did he find the evidence?
"Prince, you are the crown prince, and today's affairs will be handled by you!" Li Shimin said, flicking his sleeves, and returned to his seat.
Li Chengqian was standing aside fishing.
He doesn't care about Zhao Chen's life or death.
Of course, it would be better if Zhao Chen was really killed.
But this doesn’t mean that he, Li Chengqian, has to handle it!
Isn't the emperor trying to embarrass him by asking him to come forward at this time?
But if he failed, wouldn't the emperor question his ability?
"My son, take your orders!" Li Chengqian said helplessly.
"Cui Yushi, since you have evidence, take out the evidence and let everyone see it." Li Chengqian walked to the middle and said to Cui Yushi, but his eyes were a little afraid to look into Zhao Chen's eyes.
He didn't know if Zhao Chen would reveal his previous cooperation with Cui Yan.
Although there is no definite evidence, but the emperor knows about it, even if there is no, Li Chengqian will not end well!
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Cui Yushi nodded, took out something from his arms with an arrogant look, held it in his hand, and said to everyone: "This thing is evidence."?
