Chapter 283 Chapter 283: Great changes in Luoyang
The news spread back to Luoyang.
Li Zhi was shocked when he learned about this!
I didn’t expect this to actually happen!
With this thought in his mind, he immediately clenched his fist slightly and looked at the bones brought in front of him, his expression changed slightly.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.
Although one of his ministers has died, only a ruler with a heart as solid as stone can accomplish great things.
Thinking of this in his mind, he said to the flag commander who came to report: "Collect the bones, and then pass on my order. Muchuan will communicate with the enemy and die on the battlefield. He will be deprived of his title, his official position will be cut off, and his family property will be confiscated!"
When he finished speaking, the flag commander in front of him was filled with a sense of shock.
I was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly accepted the order.
"I obey my orders!"
And just then.
In the palace, Li Shimin had also received the news. When he learned the news, his face was full of shock. His favorite minister died on the battlefield, and he was charged with communicating with the enemy!
This incident made him immediately angry.
He slammed his palm on the table, looked at the scroll in his hand, his eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to look at Wang De.
He already had a guess in his mind!
"How dare you, an old thief, do this!"
When Wang De heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I really don't know what the saint said!"
Li Shimin gave a helpless smile and said with a look of reluctance on his face: "Sooner or later, you slaves will turn against the royal family. Do you think I don't know? You must have done this. Did you send someone to kill him?"
Muchuan?"
Wang De shook his head quickly, and immediately said with a bitter look on his face: "Sage, I am just an internal official, how can I have such abilities? I serve the emperor with all my heart, and the saint should know the loyalty of my servant!
"
Li Shimin stared at him coldly and said: "Don't think that I am so confused because I am over 50 years old. Can't I not see it? It is really ridiculous. Please tell me the truth quickly. Otherwise, I will
I’ll order someone to behead you immediately!”
Wang De knew this, so he definitely didn't recognize it. He quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is serious and has nothing to do with the slaves. How can Muchuan have any relationship with the slaves when he is here? If this matter has anything to do with the slaves,
This slave will be struck by five thunders from heaven!"
As he spoke, he looked like he was crying, and his eyes were filled with a sense of grievance.
Li Shimin was already tired of his acting routine.
His face was full of disdain and he said: "If what you said was half-truth, I would believe it. But now, you don't tell a word of truth. Well, even so, I won't tell you."
Nonsense, someone comes here!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately called for the guards.
The escort he called was none other than the Jin Yiwei.
A large group of royal guards immediately walked in from outside the store.
Li Shimin turned his head coldly and said: "Draw the king down and torture him severely. He must ask whether he killed Muchuan and ask him to reveal all the truth!"
After saying this, a group of Jin Yiwei looked like they were planning to take action.
But then!
But a voice was heard.
"Wait!"
As these words fell, a young man was seen slowly walking into the main hall.
And this person is none other than Li Zhi!
He walked slowly, with a cold look on his face.
"Father, I don't think Wang De did this!"
When he said these words, his face was filled with a sinister feeling.
When he walked into the main hall, a large group of royal guards followed behind him.
This large group of people immediately frightened Li Shimin!
Li Shimin's heart was filled with horror.
But his face still looked calm.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"
Li Zhi immediately knelt down with his hands in hand: "Father, I came here personally to ask Father to allow me to lead troops out of Luoyang to support Zhi lost Si Li!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he frowned: "Why does the emperor have such thoughts?"
Li Zhi quickly said: "The news of Muchuan's death has reached his ears. The frontline news said that he was colluding with the enemy, so he was killed by Gao Shan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. However, I suspected that there must be something fishy, so I wanted to take him with me.
People go to the front lines to investigate!”
What he said was very righteous.
There was a strong look of determination between his eyes.
Li Shimin looked at him suspiciously and frowned slightly.
"Yeah?"
Li Zhi nodded and said quickly: "Father, in my opinion, although Wang De is an internal official of my father and a close minister of the emperor, after all, he is just a minister of the palace. How can he influence thousands of miles away?
?So there must be something fishy about this matter. Muchuan was originally a subject in my house. This matter happened to him. I will definitely go to the front line to investigate. Please allow me to go to the front line to investigate and then make a decision.
!”
Li Shimin heard his words and had some guesses in his mind, but he just smiled bitterly, shook his head, waved his hands gently, and said: "I am very relieved that the emperor can have such thoughts!"
"But I know Wang De best. Since what Huang'er said makes sense, then as Huang'er said, we should investigate first and then see what's wrong. But Wang De, you old guy is despicable.
Cunning, I will never believe your words again, come on, put him in the sky prison and wait for the result!"
Wang De quickly kowtowed and thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"
In other words, he retreated with a group of Jinyi guards.
Li Zhi took a deep breath, and then continued: "Father, now that Wang De is in prison, and there is no one around my father, how about this, and a new counselor has been recruited recently, which is just right.
Serve your father!"
Li Shimin looked over curiously.
"who?"
Li Zhi quickly said: "This man came from the west across the ocean. His name is Lawrence. He is now the consul-general of our Templar Church in the Tang Dynasty. He is upright and efficient, and he has many capable people under his command."
, if the general can let him serve his father, he can actually find out why Muchuan died!"
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately took a deep breath. After all, he couldn't stop it. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Is this the retribution of reincarnation?
He shook his head slightly and sighed: "Since it is the person recommended by the emperor, I naturally believe it! For Lawrence, just follow what the emperor said!"
Li Zhi was immediately overjoyed, but he naturally knew that his father only agreed because of the current situation!
But then my plan will be implemented quickly. If my father reacts, my life will be in vain!
With this thought in his mind, he resigned and took the people away.
