Seeing the new inmate Doulu Qinwang being dragged in, Yang Zhirou first expressed his hope: "It's him! It's him! It's him!"
But then Doulu Qinwang was hanged up directly, and Yang Zhirou's expression changed: "This...isn't this right! He is the leader of the Interior Guard Pavilion. Your immediate superiors didn't even confront you, but just hanged him up?"
Qiu Shenji ignored him and excitedly pulled the chain, his movements very skillful.
Li Yanze read the five major crimes very calmly: "Regarding the crimes mentioned above, Lord Douluge, do you have anything to argue?"
Doulu Qinwang pursed his lips, his face changed several times, and finally he said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "I have nothing to say. After the saint used force by mistake, the responsibility lies with me."
Li Yan nodded: "Okay, record the incident and write a confession, and give it to Doulu Qinwang."
Seeing that the trial was over, Yang Zhirou became anxious and began to complain: "I don't think this is right!"
Such a one-sided situation is obviously not what Yang Zhirou wants to see.
Confronting Doulu Qinwang, the two argued with each other. Involving more officials was the development he originally planned. At this time, he could not hide it: "Leader Doulu Pavilion, they haven't interrogated you yet, why did you do it?"
collapsed?"
Doulu Qinwang was shaking with anger and raised his head suddenly: "Yang Zhirou, you despicable villain! How many years have you and I been friends! When I just heard the news, I wanted to exonerate you! Why did you want to harm me...I
Even if you become a ghost, I won’t let you go!!”
He was obviously extremely angry. The chains that bound his hands made a clanging sound, and he kept roaring. The look of choosing someone to eat frightened Yang Zhirou. She was afraid that he would come over and bite her, so she could only say weakly:
"How did I know that your mentality is so fragile that you don't even dare to argue?"
Yang Zhirou didn't know clearly that Li Yan's entry point was not simply the five major crimes. What was more important was that when Empress Wu was in power and there was a major disaster in the pass, who would bear the blame?
Similarly, Doulu Qinwang is not mentally fragile. On the contrary, he is very rational and despairs.
If it is just a crime, no matter how unscrupulous the thing is, as long as it is not rebellion, there is still room for redemption. The high-ranking nobles have such privileges.
But if you are taking the blame for the superior, it will be completely over. A saint cannot use the wrong queen. Now it is found that he pretended to be auspicious and offered it. This time it happened to be right. It was indeed a treacherous minister who was deceived by the slanderous words.
He readily admitted it and could save the energy of the Doulu family. Otherwise, the crime would have already existed and there would be no point in trying to quibble about it. In the end, even the family would be implicated.
Of course, Doulu Qinwang used up the last of his rationality at this point, and his despair and hatred naturally gathered on one person, roaring at Yang Zhirou.
Qiu Shenji was happy: "If I ask Doulu Qinwang to interrogate Yang Zhirou now, will he be so frightened that he will confess everything?"
Di Renjie shook his head: "That's not an interrogation. As soon as you let go of the chain, Doulu Qinwang will rush over and bite Yang Zhirou to death..."
Qiu Shenji smiled: "Isn't this the best deterrent? With Doulu Qinwang, when I interrogate Yang Zhirou, I will get twice the result with half the effort."
Di Renjie understood immediately and couldn't help but admire this man's quick response during the interrogation: "Yes, this is indeed a good method."
And Yang Zhirou bit a long-time friend and went into the water. It was just a matter of biting someone and going into the water. His own situation has not changed, and he is completely anxious: "The matter of Xian Xiangrui is not only him, but also Jingzhao Wei, Wei Chengqing and Wei Xuanzhen's uncle and nephew
…”
Di Renjie's eyes darkened. Since he was planning to attack the Hongnong Yang family, how could he attack another Guanzhong clan? That would cause trouble in the local area!
Li Yan interrupted directly: "Jingzhao Weishi's contribution during the disaster was very great, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised it. Now it is a family that is envied by everyone, so Yang Zhirou will not have to bite you."
When Yang Zhirou heard that the other minister didn't call him by name and started naming him, he knew that he could not continue to slander him. His face turned pale and his eyes rolled around, thinking about countermeasures.
Doulu Qinwang knew that he was doomed and wanted to sell favors to Wei: "Although I have made a big mistake, I still hope to do something for the inner guards. I hereby recommend Wei as the cabinet leader. He is good at worldly affairs."
Mature, mature and prudent enough to be a cabinet leader, Li Jiyi, take note of my advice!"
Li Yan: "..."
What kind of hell is this recommendation? Governor Wei is none other than Wei Chengqing, who has been transferred to Lanzhou as governor. If this person really becomes the leader of the Internal Guard and is removed, then the leader will really become a high-risk profession.
Li Yan still cares about the reputation of the inner guards and does not want to listen to these two people's nonsense anymore: "The miracles, they will be left to you."
Qiu Shenji rubbed his hands together and said excitedly: "Liu Lang, should I interrogate you right there, or should I take you to another interrogation room?"
Doulu Qinwang and Yang Zhirou stopped talking after hearing this, and looked over in fear, with pleading in their eyes, but Li Yan waved his hand: "Take them away, remember not to torture them excessively."
The word "excessive" frightened Doulu Qinwang: "I have already confessed! Li Jiyi, I have confessed everything, what else do you want!!"
Li Yan ignored them and was dragged away while wailing, and came to Jin Zhizhao.
Jin Zhizhao had already woken up and was resting his mind with his eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to the chaos around him.
This calmness made Li Yan secretly nod. Even if the two sides were enemies, he had to admit that the members of this division were of high quality.
He asked: "Is your father King Wenwu?"
Jin Zhizhao still had his eyes closed, but his lips pursed slightly, showing a trace of nervousness.
Li Yan said: "It's useless not to reply. Your senior brother also understands this. I like to reason. If you have any requests, you can tell me."
Jin Zhizhao slowly opened his eyes and said coldly: "Li Yuanfang, you win, our skills are inferior to others, and we have nothing to say if we fall into your hands!"
"But even if you torture us again, our senior brothers and sisters will never reveal anything else. You can't even think of finding out anyone else's information from us!"
Li Yan was speechless: "How do you think Yang Zhirou was arrested?"
Jin Zhizhao frowned, with an expression that said, "You don't want to accuse someone unjustly. Wasn't it the case that he instigated Baiqi to rebel, and it was the Beiya Baiqi who testified against him?"
Li Yan felt unworthy for Yang Zhirou: "Even if he is at fault, don't you have any responsibility? If I hadn't caught you from Yang's house, someone would have taken the stolen goods. He was a minister of household affairs.
Will he be hanged in prison so easily?"
Jin Zhizhao held firm in his belief and raised his neck: "This is just a coincidence. You can't even think of slandering us!"
Li Yan shook his head and did not continue to argue on this aspect. He changed the topic: "Then tell me, as the princess of Silla, why do you make trouble in the Tang Dynasty?"
Jin Zhizhao was silent for a moment and said simply: "I am here to protect my country. You destroyed Goryeo and Baekje. The next target is Silla. We Silla need to protect ourselves."
Li Yan retracted his previous evaluation of his high personal quality and his face sank: "A white-eyed wolf is a white-eyed wolf. You are the best at being shameless."
"Silla is the weakest country among the three Han Miao descendants. Even the Japanese country can force you to pay tribute and take hostage. Your grandfather, Chunqiu Gong, even went to the Japanese country as a hostage!"
"If we, the Tang Dynasty, had not sent troops to help, your country would have been destroyed by Goryeo and Baekje. Now, we, the Tang Dynasty, have not invaded your Silla. We just want to establish Jisifu Prefecture in Goryeo and Baekje, which was destroyed by the Tang army.
Despite all the obstacles, he turned into defending his family and country?"
Jin Zhizhao was also angry: "What you said is completely the arrogance of the Tang Dynasty. Didn't our Silla army participate in the war when Baekje was destroyed and Goryeo was destroyed? Didn't we Silla have any merit?"
"The former Emperor Yang, your Emperor Taizong, who was not defeated by the Goryeo Kingdom? Without us, you Tang people would not be able to destroy Goryeo. We deserve to get the spoils that belong to us!"
Li Yan understood that it was mainly Yang Guang who had accustomed them. He really thought that the rulers of the Central Plains were all that virtuous.
When Baekje united with the Japanese to send troops, they used Yang Guang's three expeditions to Goryeo as an example. As a result, the Japanese foolishly believed it, and then came the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Baijiangkou. The Tang army sent out so many people that they defeated the two coalition forces.
This is not an exaggeration. In order to prove the bravery of Goryeo, more than a thousand years later, the North Korean Li Dynasty fabricated rumors that when Li Shimin led his army to attack the Goryeo city, he was blinded in one eye by their guard, and then retreated wailing.
, passed away four years after returning to Chang'an. Similar scenes appeared in many movies and TV series about stealing the country in later generations.
The most amazing thing is a TV series called "Morning of the Empire". The name is a joke, and the plot is so outrageous that it is unimaginable. It tells that after Li Shimin was shot blind, Goryeo took advantage of the situation and led his army to counterattack, and then fought all the way into Chang'an.
Yes, you read that right, the Goryeo army entered the city of Chang'an. Chang'an was as simple as a village. The defeated Li Shimin knelt down and begged for mercy from the Goryeo general. Goryeo retaliated with kindness and chose to retreat.
This kind of plot that cannot be made up in a parallel world can be filmed because people in that area in later generations were brainwashed by various nationalist rumors and really believed the lie that Li Shimin was shot blind by the Koreans.
After learning about history, Li Yan was cured of his low blood pressure. At this time, he looked at Jin Zhizhao and frowned: "You are also a princess of Silla. There is no system for the historical experiences of the three Han Miao people and each country."
Have you ever understood sex?”
Jin Zhizhao was startled: "What history? Isn't what I just said history? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not destroy Goryeo, and neither did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Yan said: "Then do you know that Taizong's failure to destroy Goryeo was entirely due to the climate?"
"At that time, winter came, and the Tang army fought in bitterly cold weather. There were no casualties on the battlefield, but a large number of people would die from illness. Taizong sympathized with the soldiers and chose to withdraw his troops."
"Previously, the 30,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty had defeated the 150,000 troops of Goryeo, which had almost devoted all the strength of the country, and killed more than 40,000 Goryeo soldiers. The Tang army itself lost less than 2,000. In this way, the Tang army captured a large number of
The oxen, horses, equipment, and slaves made Goryeo half useless before Taizong returned to the court with his troops."
"Of course, if we consider the strategic goals, our Tang army was indeed defeated. After all, we did not achieve the goal of annihilating the country. The imperial commander of the large army did not destroy the small country. It was really inappropriate. Therefore, Taizong thought about it on his way back to the court.
Duke Wen Zhen is so good that if he is around, he will definitely advise me not to mobilize troops and mobilize people..."
Jin Zhizhao's face and muscles twitched when he heard that. What are you talking about? You have won to that extent, but the country is not destroyed, so it is considered a defeat?
Li Shimin obviously thought so, and Li Yan also recognized the strategic failure, and spoke even more directly: "The destruction of Goryeo is the strength of our Tang Dynasty. Your request for help from Silla is just an excuse to send troops."
"You want to say whether there is any credit, yes!"
"But the credit is so great that you can take the spoils? Ha, it's just the behavior of a white-eyed wolf!"
Fully realizing the arrogance of the people of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Zhizhao's chest heaved with anger: "Nonsense! Nonsense!"
Li Yan looked at the Silla princess with pity in his eyes: "It's really sad to know that there is a huge gap between the two sides, but to distort the facts to protect the self-esteem of a small country!"
Of course, she must also keep her self-esteem, otherwise once she recognizes the reality, she may be another Jin Liangtu.
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly, he said no more and walked out.
He knew how to interrogate this Silla princess, and ordered his attendants: "Go to the Second Hall and the Sixth School and bring over some history students."
