Li Yuanji saw Li Gaoqian staring in fear, standing there silently and questioning with a straight face.
Li Gaoqian was shocked and said quickly: "I have no objection."
Li Yuanji nodded slightly and said: "That's good, then do as I say."
Li Gaoqian nodded hesitantly.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji promised: "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. After the matter is completed, I will ask my father to restore your title to your title. If you die, your title will also be assigned to your eldest son."
inherit."
If you want a horse to run, you must feed it.
Now that horses are required to risk their lives to do things, naturally more benefits must be given to horses.
Li Yuanji still understands this.
When Li Gaoqian heard this, he didn't hesitate any more, and he didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He immediately stood up and saluted and said: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness..."
Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing more. He drank tea with Li Gaoqian and left the private room at noon. Then, accompanied by Dou Dan and others, he went to the restaurant in the library
After having a light meal and a few words of encouragement to the students in the library, I left the Tanshan Library with smiles on the faces of the students and numbness in my heart.
Almost all the students in the library were his relatives, and because they were spoiled by their family members, they had no respect for him.
Every time they see him, they will suffer a crime, so they will naturally slander and scold him in their hearts.
After all, the students in the library were severely beaten by his orders when they first met him. When they met him for the second time, they were assigned to work as coolies on the construction site. This time
When I saw him and was driven to do the cleaning work for most of the day, I felt resentful towards him, that was for sure.
However, although he could see that the students in the library had complaints about him, they didn't care about it, let alone care about it.
His current status could not be higher, and it was no longer easy for him to argue with a bunch of juniors.
Otherwise, it is easy to lose your standing and be said to be bullying the small, so there is no need to worry about anything.
If you really feel unhappy with the students in the library and want to punish them, just go to them directly.
As long as they are punished severely, I believe that when they go back, they will be more strict in teaching them how to behave.
In this way, you can not only achieve the purpose of punishing them, but also save your own face. Why not do it?
After leaving the Tanshan Literary Hall, Li Yuanji got on the carriage and returned to the palace quietly.
Two days later at midnight, Zhang's Zhuangzi was attacked by people of unknown origin. More than half of the people on the village, the villagers, and the servants and maids in the Zhuangzi were killed or injured. The autumn grain stored in the Zhuangzi was also burned to the ground.
One night, the sky turned red.
The most important thing is that several guests who were guests at Zhuangzi suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Li Shentong's descendant's arm was almost cut off. Although he was treated and his hand was saved, he will no longer be able to lead a horse and perform martial arts. Qu Tutong's nephew broke a leg and can only live in bed from now on. Qin Qiong's nephew
The 'Zhangs and his son' are even missing.
As soon as this incident came out, there was a storm in Chang'an City.
From the time Li Zitong rebelled against Chang'an until now, such a big bloodshed has not happened in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, not to mention that this bloodshed also implicated four martial heroes.
Li Shentong was so angry that he vomited blood and had people carry him and his son to the Tai Chi Hall, demanding justice from the court.
Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong, carrying machetes on their backs, knelt in front of the Zhuque Gate and said bluntly that if the royal family wanted to kill the heroes and take their lives, they could go ahead and take it but not their nephews.
A group of Wu Xun who used to hang out under Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were a little panicked by their move. They all thought that Li Yuanji was doing one thing on the surface but another behind his back, and wanted to settle accounts with them later.
They stood up one after another, spoke up for Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong, and asked the court to give Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong justice.
In addition to demanding justice in the court, Li Shentong also mobilized all his connections and asked all the royal family members, as well as Wu Xun who was under his command, to write a letter together, demanding that the matter be investigated and that he, Qu Tutong, and others be repaid.
Qin Qiong and Zhang Liang are fair.
The matter became more and more troublesome, and finally reached the point where all the martial artists collectively submitted a letter.
Li Yuan was so alarmed that he walked out of Liangyi Palace and personally rushed to the residence of Li Shentong and other cousins to comfort him.
Li Yuanji was furious, furious, and furious.
Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, Yongzhou Mufu, Chang'an Wannian County and four yamen were strictly ordered to investigate the matter within three days.
After receiving the order, the heads of the four yamen did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately used all their manpower to investigate the matter.
You won’t know the result if you don’t investigate, but once you investigate, you’ll find out a lot of amazing things.
For example, people from Dali Temple found more than fifty armored stomachs in a cave not far from Zhang's Zhuangzi.
The number of thyroid glands exceeds the limit and has reached the level of rebellion.
The Minister of Dali Temple immediately reported the matter to the three provinces. Without waiting for the three provinces to make a decision, the Ministry of War blatantly intervened in the matter and requested that troops be dispatched to Chang'an.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were scattered out of Chang'an in one breath, and even more things were traced.
First, they found out where the thief was hiding, then they used various punishments to interrogate the thief's whereabouts in Zhuangzi, and finally caught the leader of the thief in a mountain col.
The leading thief also had some identity, and he was recognized at a glance.
There is no need to check the rest.
Because once the identity of the leading thief was recognized, the case was already settled.
Because when people learn the identity of the leading thief, they will naturally know why the thief did what he did.
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shentong roared filial piety with a vicissitudes of life, "The Zheng family secretly hid the armor and stomach, and secretly used dead men to assassinate the ministers. How is this different from treason? I sincerely request Your Highness to order that the Zheng family be confiscated and exterminated for the crime of treason."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qu Tutong coughed, stood up with a pale face and agreed: "I second the proposal!"
Qin Qiong also stood up with the support of his colleagues to express his agreement.
Other Wu Xun who supported Li Shentong, Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong also stood up and expressed their support.
Even among the civil servants, some stood up to express their support.
Only the veterans among the civil servants and a group of spokesmen from wealthy families frowned and remained silent.
It is impossible for Zheng not to know what it means to secretly hide Jiawei, send dead soldiers to attack Zhuangzi, a prince of the country, and kill indiscriminately.
Zheng was not forced into a desperate situation and could not risk everything to do such a stupid thing.
So they thought there might be something fishy about it.
But the leader of the captured thieves is indeed a member of the Zheng family. Before he was expelled from the Zheng family, his status in the Zheng family was not low. Although he has been expelled from the Zheng family now, he will remain in the Zheng family until he is expelled.
After being severely punished, he confessed that it was the master of the Zheng family who ordered him to do this.
This is considered human evidence, and the stomachs found are physical evidence.
With the gathering of witnesses and material evidence, even if they wanted to help Zheng shirk the case, they couldn't shirk it.
"Your Highness, what are you waiting for? Why don't you order your aides to seek justice? Could it be that the rumors in Chang'an City in recent days are true? You really want to kill people with a borrowed knife and take the opportunity to eradicate those of us who are waiting in the East Palace and Prince Qin's Mansion.
Former minister?
If that's the case, just ask, I and others will take care of themselves, so there's no need to bother."
Seeing that Li Yuanji was reluctant to make a decision, Qu Tutong held his voice heavily.
These words are very, very important.
Once proven to be true, the consequences will be huge.
After all, before Li Yuanji came to power, the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace held all the power in the Tang Dynasty, so most officials of the Tang Dynasty were related to the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace.
If Li Yuanji wanted to settle accounts after the fall, then most officials of the Tang Dynasty would be among those to be liquidated.
Although the Tang Dynasty is now stable, a large-scale liquidation of officials will definitely cause civil strife, and the scale of this civil strife will not be too small.
After all, the Tang Dynasty had only been established for a few years, and the vast majority of officials had no loyalty to the Tang Dynasty. If there was any harm to the Tang Dynasty, they would rebel without hesitation.
So one can imagine the weight of Qu Tutong's words.
Li Gang immediately stood up and scolded Qu Tutong, "Qu Tutong, you are also a veteran, how can you listen to those rumors in Chang'an City? Since Your Highness has forgiven you and put you in high positions, it means that Your Highness has forgiven you and put you in high positions.
There is absolutely no intention of settling scores.
You cannot slander His Highness for your own selfish reasons!"
Pei Ju stood up slowly, nodded and said: "Yes, Qu Tutong, I think you are old, and I will allow you to be presumptuous once. If you dare to talk nonsense again and sow discord between His Highness and the ministers, you will be punished."
Don’t blame me for having someone kick you out of the palace!”
Pei Ju was used to being a palace censor, so he unconsciously entered into the duties and powers of a palace censor. He would exercise the privileges of a palace censor whenever he opened his mouth.
Qu Tutong was not at all frightened by the words of Li Gang and Pei Ju. He opened his eyes and shouted: "I have been born and died for the Tang Dynasty for many years, and now my nephew is hurt. Can't I seek justice for him?"
If this is the case, then in the future, if the nephews of other colleagues are also assassinated, will this be the case?"
Li Gang frowned and said: "We didn't say that you can't seek justice for your nephew. We just think that this matter may not be as simple as it seems and needs to be considered in the long term.
You cannot be carried away by anger and slander His Highness here."
Qu Tutong raised his neck and shouted angrily: "There are both witnesses and material evidence. You tell me that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It needs to be considered in the long term. Do you think I am a fool?"
Li Gang opened his mouth and was about to speak when he saw Li Shentong snorting coldly: "Does Mr. Li want to say that personal and material evidence can also be forged? I remember that Mr. Li has no friendship with Mr. Zheng, so why did he work so hard to speak for Mr. Zheng?
, could it be that he received black money from Zheng?"
