The appearance of Wei Zheng caused Changsun Wuji's expression to change instantly.
He stared hard at Wei Zheng.
Because he is responsible for things that make him unhappy.
But Wei Zheng didn't look at him and saluted Li Shimin directly.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"How's it going? How was the investigation of the previous assassination case of Li Zhi?"
Li Shimin asked.
It turned out that Li Shimin had always asked Wei Zheng to handle this matter.
I heard there has been some big progress recently.
And Changsun Wuji also knew that that incident was closely related to Changsun Chong, and it could be said that it was planned by Changsun Chong.
Therefore, when Wei Zheng arrived, Changsun Wuji was very unhappy.
"Return to Your Majesty, we have found out!"
Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard this!
"Oh? Is this really a random thing?"
Li Shimin asked directly.
"Yes! It was the eldest grandson who rushed to kill Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Sixth Prince! The two Zheng family brothers and some people from the Zheng family participated in the testimony!"
As soon as Wei Zheng's words came out.
Li Shimin's face became extremely ugly.
If it were someone else, it would be easier to say, but Changsun Chong is the nephew of Empress Changsun!
At this time, the more this happens, the less he can show favoritism. Once he does something unfair, he will definitely not get support.
As for Changsun Wuji, he said: "Wei Zheng, this depends on the evidence. Do you have evidence? Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
At the same time, Changsun Wuji was filled with hatred. How dare the Zheng family do this? Are they looking for death?
Wei Zheng said bluntly: "We have both human and physical evidence! Otherwise, I would not dare to tell the truth to Your Majesty! Please don't question me?"
"Where's the evidence?"
Changsun Wuji was afraid that he would not admit it.
"During the interrogation, all the ministers were present, and Chang Sun Chong also confessed. Now we are waiting for His Majesty's decree! Isn't this enough?"
Wei Zheng's words were undoubtedly a huge blow to Changsun Wuji.
"I don't believe it! It must be Li Min who caused the trouble!"
"Wuji, if Chong'er makes a mistake, he must be punished. How can we say that Li Min caused trouble? Moreover, he is also a victim!"
Li Shimin couldn't stand listening anymore.
"So, Changsun Chong must be punished, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public!"
At this time, Fang Xuanling came forward and said: "Those who assassinate the princess should be punished according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty!"
As soon as these words came out, Changsun Wuji immediately despaired.
That means killing Changsun Chong.
He is his only son.
He glared at Fang Xuanling fiercely, why did he say this when he had nothing to do?
But even if Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, Changsun Chong would not end well!
"Your Majesty, Chong'er must have been forced to admit it after being persecuted!"
"Qi Guogong, don't tell lies with your eyes open. I interrogated Changsun Chong with all the military ministers, and no punishment was used during the process. Otherwise, you let him enter the palace to have a look!"
Wei Zheng was angry.
How could this Changsun Wuji do this?
"Wei Zheng, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the Zheng family!"
"If you have any objections, you can retry the case and let Your Majesty preside over it! Don't make random guesses. I have both physical and personal evidence."
After finishing, Wei Zheng said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I can present physical and personal evidence, please make a decision!"
"Your Majesty, please review the trial!"
Li Shimin waved his hand.
"Wuji, Li Zhi has also mentioned the good deeds Changsun Chong did. I am very sure that he did it. I just wanted to give him a chance to plead guilty, but you have always been partial. Your behavior makes me very disappointed.
!”
In fact, Li Shimin was a little surprised. It should be said that the Zheng family was also involved.
Why did Changsun Chong have to bear this matter alone?
I originally wanted to attack the Zheng family, but now it seems that I can only punish Zhangsun Chong.
At this time, a eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wishes to see you!"
"Why is he here?"
Li Shimin wondered. Why did he come here at this juncture?
Then another eunuch said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen is here!"
The mother and son came together.
"Let them in!"
Li Shimin said.
Li Chengqian, with a pockmarked face, and Empress Changsun entered the palace.
"Queen, please save your nephew!"
Changsun Wuji said as soon as he arrived.
Queen Changsun thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I have also heard about Chong'er. Do you think I can give him a lighter sentence? After all, he is the only flesh and blood of my brother!"
Li Chengqian said:
"Yes! Father, Changsun Chong must have been bewitched by something to do that stupid thing! Or maybe it must have been instigated by Li Min!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't want to speak at first, but now he must.
"Which person would instruct his opponent to kill him?"
Li Chengqian couldn't even reply to these words.
Yes, who would do such a stupid thing?
"Your Majesty! Chong'er is still a child. There are still many things to do in the future. For example, if he is punished severely..."
"The Duke of Qi has great merit, can he use his merit to offset Changsun Chong's crime?"
Li Chengqian said again.
Changsun Wuji looked at the two of them very gratefully.
As for Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, they remained silent.
At this time, both the queen and the prince have spoken, and everything depends on Li Shimin's decision.
Li Shimin remained silent.
"His Majesty!"
Queen Changsun came over.
Long before that, she had been entrusted by Changsun Wuji.
She must help Changsun Chong. After all, Changsun Chong is also a single descendant of the Changsun family!
It is the future of the Changsun family, it cannot die like this!
Even if Changsun Chong wanted to harm Li Lizhi that day, he actually persuaded Queen Changsun later.
She also said that this was her last appearance.
As for how it happens, it depends on Changsun Chong's luck.
That Changsun Chong was supposed to die.
In the end, Li Shimin could not resist Empress Changsun's persuasion.
He could only say: "Okay, don't talk anymore. Changsun Chong's crime has been confirmed. He can be exempted from the death penalty, but he cannot escape from the living crime!"
Having said this, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He cried, finally saving Changsun Chong's life!
"Then how will His Majesty punish him?"
Wei Zheng asked.
This matter is in his charge.
It should have been him who made the decision, but Li Shimin spoke up.
He could only listen to Li Shimin's words.
"Then let him be exiled to Liangzhou for three years!"
As soon as Li Shimin finished his words, he was kind, and Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not a permanent exile, which means that Changsun Chong can come back after three years. There will be a chance to come back in the future!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Changsun Wuji cried with joy.
"Go down, I don't want to talk anymore!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and turned around.
He didn't want to see Changsun Wuji anymore.
Rather than not wanting to speak.
Changsun Wuji understood very well, so he had to quickly leave the palace and go to the prison.
This good news must be let him know!
He didn't know that his departure would directly kill many people and give Li Min an advantage.
And the eldest grandson’s family will have nothing!
