Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Sixth Minister, I have seen it!
Last night, his father Li Shimin had informed Chai Lingwu that he would be given leniency if he wanted to confess. Early the next morning, Li Mingda ordered Qiu Shui to bring someone to take him into custody.
Looking at Chai Lingwu being taken away early in the morning, Changsun Wuji couldn't sit still.
In the prison, Chai Lingwu didn't sleep well all night. He kept thinking about all the things he had experienced in his life. Whether he could survive this time or not was a question. Chai Lingwu was a little nervous.
After seeing his mother's death from illness and his father's death, he felt that he was a little afraid of death, but at the same time he was looking forward to something.
Chai Lingwu, who was thinking wildly along the way, walked to the Tai Chi suit, turned around and looked in the direction of Tianlao, as if he had spent half a century walking there.
Zhang Nan, who was squatting at the door, glanced at Chai Lingwu with interest, then personally inspected Chai Lingwu according to the procedures, and after confirming that there were no sharp weapons on him, he let him in.
When Chai Lingwu entered the Tai Chi Hall, he thought he would have to face so many civil and military ministers. When he entered, he realized that he had overthought things.
The large Tai Chi Hall disappeared and was separated by layers of screens.
There was a row of sword-wielding guards standing on the edge of each screen. They stared closely at Chai Lingwu who came in. Chai Lingwu felt that if he made the slightest move, he would be stabbed directly.
Walking further inside, he came to the center of the hall. He looked left and right. On the left were Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Cheng Yaojin, several civil and military cabinet officials working. One of them was a woman he had never seen before. She was beautiful.
Youth has a hint of nature, commonly known as wildness.
On the right is the eldest grandson sitting there. Next to her is a cute girl with big eyes and a round face that she has never seen before. She is holding a brush in her mouth and is flipping through information quickly. She looks like she is about ten years old.
With a cute and bookish air, his big eyes stared at the information intently.
Could this be the legendary female champion? She does have such an aura.
In the center of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Mingda sat on the dragon chair with a rare upright posture, looking at Chai Lingwu who was sent over with a big horse and golden sword posture.
After taking a few steps forward, Chai Lingwu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Mingda: "Convicted minister, Chai Lingwu kowtows to His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun."
"The guilty minister, Chai Lingwu, are you ready to confess and be given leniency?"
"Yes, I want to confess, but I don't expect His Majesty to forgive me."
The wording is quite good. He admits his fault first without asking for forgiveness. He looks like he is fully enlightened.
It seems that Chai Wulin's stay at home for so long has not been in vain. He has learned to speak beautiful words.
He was facing Li Mingda, who had never been interested in false words and falsehoods: "Ma Liudi, just say whatever you want, don't give me these false words."
(⊙o⊙)Oh
Sure enough, Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda was still the same bad-tempered person. Now Chai Lingwu really didn't know why he had so evil intentions that he bumped into Li Mingda's brick.
After sorting out his thoughts, Chai Lingwu slowly spoke: "The thing is like this. It starts from when my father passed away. When my father was about to leave, he called me and told me some secret things about the family, including my mother.
The remaining forces of the Detachment of Women led by those years, the black market in Chang'an City, and the generals who still have connections in the army "
"I know this"
Chai Lingwu opened his mouth and continued: "After handing over everything, my father hesitated to speak before leaving. Under my curiosity, my father told me that it was a secret that has been hidden within major aristocratic families.
A secret that only the patriarch of the family or a specific person knows.”
"There has always been a mysterious organization operating within the Tang Dynasty. They contacted aristocratic families, officials, and traders from all over the world to form an alliance. There is no movement on weekdays. Unless there is a need, someone will contact you with a code."
"They travel all over the country and sell everything that can be sold. Corrupt officials are their protection, and profiteers and bandits are their joints. It is even said that some traffickers and lackeys are also involved."
"The power is very huge and has always been hidden behind the scenes. I asked my father where those people came from. My father also shook his head and said he didn't know. They will only contact you when there is a need and will pay enough for what they need.
There is a price, and you will be retaliated against if you refuse.”
Hearing this, Li Mingda asked Chai Lingwu: "Has your father ever said anyone has been retaliated against?"
"Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty"
Ouch, my dear, these Sun thieves are quite powerful. In order to take revenge on Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, Li Mingda asked Chai Lingwu: "Did he rebel and overthrow his rule, or did Yang Yong kill his sister accidentally?"
Chai Lingwu shook his head: "I don't know. My father just said this and didn't continue. I think they might have been the instigator behind the uprising against the Sui Dynasty."
Li Mingda smiled from the corner of his mouth: "Rebellion, I also want to know how capable they are. If the current situation in the Tang Dynasty can be caused by me on a scale like that of Emperor Sui Yang, I will kill them later.
Emperor Li Mingda will place incense on their graves to express his admiration.”
awesomeness
The King's Contempt Reappears
( ̄_, ̄)
Chai Lingwu flattered him and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the people of the Tang Dynasty live a stable and prosperous life, and the aspirations of all the people are like gods. How could such a situation happen?"
Li Mingda said with a playful smile on his face: "That's not necessarily the case. I want to bulldoze the empresses all over the world. If I don't take advantage of them, they will come out to cause trouble while I'm on an expedition with my army."
After thinking about Li Mingda's words, Chai Lingwu felt that it was better not to continue the topic: "Your Majesty has a heart for the world that the guilty minister cannot say, so let the guilty minister continue to explain his sins."
"Okay, you continue"
"After my father's death, I was fortunate enough to be appreciated by His Majesty and appointed as the superintendent of the construction of new warships in the south of the Yangtze River. From the moment I set out, I knew that I was just a banner. I just need to coordinate local relations. The real person in charge is General Cai Mao."
"After I arrived in Jiangnan, their mysterious organization began to send people to contact me. At first, I didn't know it and thought it was just family officials from some places who came to curry favor with me. Unexpectedly, as the contact lasted for a long time, they revealed their intentions.
, I want the design drawings of His Majesty’s warship.”
"At first, I refused, but in the end, because they gathered together and put pressure on me, I had no choice but to bring their candidates into the shipyard to record the production process of the warship, which provided convenience for them."
"I am guilty, please punish me."
After talking for a long time, Chai Lingwu said nothing except acknowledging the existence of those thieves.
"Who is the person contacting you?"
"The Jiangnan family members Su, Sun, Han and other families and local officials"
"Are they executed by me just because of this?"
"yes"
"Then have you seen any of their Jiangnan people in charge?"
"My lord, I've seen it before!"
