Chapter 0441 Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple
Li Xiaogong realized that Li Yuanji was more dangerous than him, so he glanced at Li Yuanji and slowly sat down.
Seeing that Li Xiaogong was no longer aggressive, Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows and his expression softened a bit.
Li Yuanji also sat down, glared at Li Xiaogong, and said angrily: "If you feel that the Yizhou matter is dangerous and I'm afraid it will implicate you, I can leave it to others."
Without Li Xiaogong, why don’t we eat pigs with hair on them?
Two princes, two powerful princes plan something together, and are you afraid that no one will use it?
When Li Xiaogong heard this, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Well... let me do it."
Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong again and hummed: "You have to think clearly, I am not forcing you. Don't scare yourself by turning around and yelling at me again."
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong looked even more embarrassed, "After thinking about it clearly, just leave it to me."
Before Li Yuanji could speak, Li Xiaogong smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I will never scare myself again, nor will I yell at you."
Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said: "You said this yourself, I didn't force you. If you yell at me next time, don't blame me for being cruel to you."
Li Xiaogong glanced down at his hanging arms and said with a wry smile: "You've already done it."
Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Xiaogong and said angrily: "You deserve it!"
Li Xiaogong made a sad face and said nothing.
Li Yuanji reluctantly ordered the steward in charge of medicinal materials in Jiudao Palace to get Li Xiaogong a bone-strengthening herb and sent Li Xiaogong away.
Although Li Xiaogong made Li Yuanji very angry today, it was Li Yuanji who broke Li Xiaogong's arm after all.
Li Yuanji knew very well how strong his hands were. Li Xiaogong's body and bones and Li Xiaogong's injuries would not be healed within three or two months.
Because of his slap, Li Xiaogong had to be like Yang Guo for three to two months, and Li Yuanji felt very uncomfortable.
If Li Xiaogong hadn't been too timid and aggressive, he wouldn't have looked down on Li Xiaogong and said cold words to Li Xiaogong.
After sending away Li Xiaogong, Li Yuanji completely ignored the affairs of Yizhou and the Dou family, and began to focus on the movements in the palace and the situation at Hangu Pass.
After Li Xiuning resolved the crisis at Weize Pass, another death occurred in the palace.
This time it was no longer the same as before, there was no disturbance at all.
This time there was quite a commotion. Li Yuan, in the midst of his busy schedule, personally investigated the matter and ordered Dali Temple to find out a result within seven days.
The reason why there was a lot of commotion this time was not because the deceased Xiu Yi had a son or was favored, but because she had a good mother-in-law.
Her natal father was a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty.
Although her title was not considered top-notch, and it was not impressive enough in the city of Chang'an where there were as many princes as dogs, her natal father was a soldier of Li Yuan's, and once defended Li Yuan when he was fighting for the rebellion of the former Sui Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this that Li Yuan made him a marquis after he ascended the throne.
It was precisely because of this relationship that after her father's father learned that his daughter had died in the palace for no reason, he went to Li Yuan and demanded justice for his daughter.
What can Li Yuan do when faced with his former soldiers or those who blocked swords and arrows for him?
Naturally, I ordered the eunuchs to work in secret and Dali Temple in the light to jointly investigate the matter, give an explanation to the former soldier, and give justice to the daughter of the former soldier.
As a result, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple began to investigate in a hurry.
After five days of investigation, no clues were found, but many people in the palace were found to have dirty hands and feet, or to have done dirty things.

Those whose hands and feet were unclean were ordered by Li Yuan to be given ten lashes and expelled from the palace.
Those who had done dirty things were sent to the private cells of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with only death waiting for them.
Li Yuanji sat in the Orchid Pavilion in the Jiudao Palace, sipping tea and listening to the latest news from Ling Jing, and pondered without saying anything.
After Ling Jing finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and said with emotion: "There are only two days left before the deadline set by the saint for the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.
After two days, if the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple can no longer find any clues, the saint will probably hold the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple accountable."
Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "Whether it is the chief deputy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the chief deputy of Dali Temple, they are not people who eat corpses. It is impossible that they can't find any clues, right?"
No matter how you say it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the highest government office in charge of the three-acre area of Taiji Palace. Except for the people of the Li family and the people who are favored by the Li family, almost all the rest of the people in the Taiji Palace are under their control.
.
Their ears and eyes should have been all over Tai Chi Palace for a long time.
How could they not have any clue about what was happening under their noses?
If they couldn't even keep an eye on what happened under their noses and couldn't find out clearly, then how could Li Yuan use them for four or five years?
There is also Dali Temple, which is the highest court of the Tang Dynasty. It not only has prison experts summoned from all over the Tang Dynasty, but also has experts in investigation and investigation from all over the Tang Dynasty.
Although the population in Tai Chi Palace is large, the mobility is not strong, and the relationships between people are also recorded in detail.
If the experts from Dali Temple are dispatched together, let alone investigating a murder, they can also find out clearly how many rats there are in the Taiji Palace, whether they are male or female, and what their characteristics are.
Therefore, it is not normal for the people in Dali Temple to have no clue at all.
"Who knows, I have found out the clues and reported it to the saint, but the saint did not make it public."

Li Yuanji glanced at Ling Jing and asked, "Do you really think so?"
Ling Jing did not answer, but asked: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Li Yuanji pondered: "I always feel that there is something fishy in this matter..."
This tricky thing does not refer to Li Shimin's plan, but to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.
There must be something fishy in one of these two yamen, otherwise it would be impossible not to find out at all.
This obviously goes against everyone's understanding of the two yamen, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Dali Temple.
Ling Jing suddenly nodded and said, "I also think there is something fishy in this."
Li Yuanji said thoughtfully: "You mean they really didn't find any clues and didn't report any information to my father?"
Ling Jing nodded solemnly.
Ling Jing had someone in the palace. Li Yuanji never asked who they were, where they were, and what kind of information they could find out.
Li Yuanji has never doubted the accuracy of Ling Jing's information.
Because so far, Ling Jing’s news has not gone wrong.
"Then what do you think is fishy?"
Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and asked.
Ling Jing thought about it and said: "I believe that someone in these two yamen should have turned in the real culprit who killed Xu Xiuyi. Only in this way, these two yamen can't find any clues no matter how hard they investigate."
Li Yuanji pondered and nodded, he thought so too.
Only if someone disrupts the situation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple will find nothing.
And this, or these people who disrupted the situation, must be from the Ministry of Internal Affairs or Dali Temple.
Otherwise, I would not be able to interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.
After all, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the yamen that is directly responsible to Li Yuan. It is difficult for outsiders to get involved, and only people within them can interfere with their internal affairs.
"Do you think there is a problem with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or with both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple?"
Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing and asked again.
If there is only one yamen that has problems in this matter, then it is undoubtedly the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs has enough ability to prevent Dali Temple from finding anything in Taiji Palace, but Dali Temple does not have the ability to prevent the Ministry of Internal Affairs from finding anything in Taiji Palace.
So if only one yamen has a problem, it must be the Internal Affairs Ministry.
The reason why Li Yuanji still asked questions was because he was not sure whether there was also a problem in Dali Temple.
Ling Jing stroked his long beard and murmured thoughtfully: "I thought that both yamen might have problems."
Li Yuanji said: "Where is the evidence?"
Ling Jing stroked his long-bearded hand and said seriously: "Although people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can hide certain things in Taiji Palace so that outsiders cannot find them, if Dali Temple really wants to find out, they can still
Found some clues.
After all, things are done by people, and as long as they are done by people, no matter how clean they are, some traces will be left behind.
The people in Dali Temple are best at finding such traces.
As long as they find a little trace, they can use this little trace to tell the saint that there is a ghost in the chamberlain.
If the saint still wants to find out about this matter, he will definitely ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to step back and let Dali Temple investigate.
If the saint did not want to find out the matter, he would ask the people from Dali Temple to retreat and let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to end the matter hastily.
But now, the people from Dali Temple have not retreated, and neither have the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
And they couldn't find any clues.
This shows that they are working together to cover up this matter."
Li Yuanji nodded and said: "So, both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple have problems."
Ling Jing nodded heavily, and then looked at Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji didn't say anything more.
Li Yuanji knew that Li Shimin was behind the death of people in the palace, and also knew what Li Shimin's purpose was.
Now, in order to cooperate with Li Shimin in making things worse and bring the matter to the level that Li Shimin wanted, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
That shows that Li Shimin's hands have reached into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Dali Temple.
Li Shimin was able to put his hand into Dali Temple, and Li Yuanji was not surprised.
Li Shimin had countless capable people under him, and he had done a lot of credit with Li Shimin. It would be easy to get an official position in Dali Temple.
Moreover, in order to win the big position and win the support of more people, Li Shimin also spared no effort to bribe officials from various yamen in the imperial court.
It is also reasonable to bribe one or two Dali Temple officials.
