Li Chengqian can be 100% sure that Li Chongyi was wrongly accused.
Putting aside whether he was short of money or not, Li Chengqian absolutely believed in his character.
Li Chongyi is not a person who can sell everything for money.
Say it again.
He has been a very straightforward person since childhood.
What you want is what you want, what you don’t want is what you don’t want.
If he was short of money, even if he didn't go to his father-in-law, he would come to Li Chengqian.
After all, Li Chengqian is very rich now.
As brothers who grew up together, it is understandable that they should interact with each other.
same.
A smart person like Li Chongyi would definitely be able to distinguish between what is full and what is full.
Instead of doing something, if it is exposed, you will die.
He might as well keep the big tree like Li Chengqian tightly, and he will be prosperous and wealthy in the future, nothing more?
Why gamble with your own future?
But……
If we say he was framed.
So who is the initiator of all this?
What is his purpose?
When Li Chengqian came to Dali Temple in a carriage.
Outside Dali Temple, there are already huge crowds of people.
In ancient times, as long as it was not an interrogation of confidential and important cases, ordinary people could watch.
As the son of Hejian King Li Xiaogong, Li Chongyi had a high reputation in Chang'an City before he entered the political stage.
Later, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats on the battlefield, especially in the Battle of Baekje, which made the people all over the world see the energy of this young general.
Today they heard that the young general was about to be tried, so they came over to see what was going on.
When Li Chengqian got off the carriage, a crowd of people immediately gathered around him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what is going on? How could General Li do such a thing?"
"Yes, Your Highness, he must have been unjustly accused, and someone must have framed him!"
Amidst the bursts of noise, Li Chengqian silently walked into Dali Temple.
now.
Li Chongyi was already standing in the hall.
Li Chengqian passed him and walked to the hall to sit down.
A response to physical evidence and witness, Basically everyone has arrived.
Li Chengqian looked around, then pointed at the large wooden boxes placed in the hall and said, "What is in here?"
The clerk of Dali Temple replied: "Your Highness, these are all found from the Hejian Prince's Mansion."
Said.
The clerk then stepped over and opened the lid of the box.
In an instant, the lobby was filled with jewels and golden light.
Inside those wooden boxes, there were all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, and jade.
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Li Chongyi, are these yours?"
"no."
Li Chongyi shook his head and said.
"Um."
Li Chengqian lowered his head and glanced at the several reporting letters on the desk: "Is the person who wrote these reporting letters here?"
"Only one representative came."
The clerk answered truthfully, and then shouted: "Pass, witness!"
not long time.
A stooped old man walked in from outside.
Walk to the hall.
The old man knelt down on his knees facing Li Chengqian: "Common people, please pay homage to His Royal Highness."
"no."
Li Chengqian waved his hand, picked up a letter, and said, "Did you write these letters reporting Li Chongyi's corruption?"
The old man nodded and said: "Exactly."
"Then let me ask you a few questions now."
Li Chengqian put down the letter and said, "First question, how did you know that Li Chongyi had accepted bribes from others?"
"Report to Your Highness."
The old man said: "The common people saw it with their own eyes."
"Saw it with my eyes?"
Li Chongyi laughed directly.
This is nonsense, I'm too lazy to make it up.
Even if you want to commit corruption, you can't just collect the stolen money in the past.
How stupid does one have to be to do that?
Li Chengqian obviously realized this.
He squinted his eyes, looked at the old man and said
He said: "When did you see it and where did you see it? Do you still remember?"
"Remember."
"That was on the third day after the Spring Equinox."
The old man said unhurriedly: "The common people were working in the fields and saw General Li in a small pavilion beside the official road."
"fart!"
Li Chongyi couldn't bear it anymore.
He roared at the old man: "When did I ever go to that shitty little pavilion you mentioned?"
"Li Chongyi!"
Li Chengqian shouted: "Shut up!"
"I……"
Li Chongyi glanced at the old man angrily.
But in the end, I still endured it.
Because he believed that Li Chengqian would definitely clear his name.
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "If you put it like that, it's a bit unreasonable."
"Li Chongyi is now just a general who has not reached the fifth rank."
"What energy can he have?"
"Who else would give gifts and money to a fifth-grade general?"
Li Chengqian raised his eyes, looked at the old man, and said, "At that time, did you hear why the other party gave money to Li Chongyi?"
"The common people have heard this."
"At that time, they were probably talking about matters at the Wuhan Institute of Technology."
The old man said: "The common people still vaguely heard that General Li said to that person that as long as the money is enough, even if the exam fails to meet the standards, he can enter the Wuhan Academy if he wants to."
"Fart, fart, fart!"
"You are full of nonsense!"
"When have I ever said such bullshit?"
Li Chongyi roared at the old man: "Besides, do you really know the mechanism of the Wuhan Academy?"
"Without the approval from the Crown Prince and the King of Shu, even if the King of Heaven comes, I will not be able to enter the Martial Arts Institute!"
At this time, he really couldn't help it anymore.
If it were any other way, he would still be able to accept it.
But now, the other party has framed him completely without any thought.
He also said that as long as the money is enough, you can enter the Wuhan Academy if you want. > If it were really that easy, there would be no need to add the word "royal" to the prefix of Wuyan Institute.
And as soon as these words came out.
Li Chengqian's expression also became playful.
to be honest.
at the beginning.
He still doesn't know the other party's purpose.
I don’t know why the other party wanted to frame Li Chongyi.
After all, there is nothing worthwhile about Li Chongyi.
Even talking about it, Li Chengqian felt a little unsure in his heart.
He was afraid that Li Chongyi was really tempted by money and did something wrong.
but now.
After hearing what the old man said, Li Chengqian completely understood and completely believed that Li Chongyi was innocent.
After the Baekje War.
Li Chongyi led the team back to Chang'an City.
At that time, Li Chengqian proposed to Li Shimin that he send Li Chongyi to serve at the Wuhan Academy.
The purpose is simply to let Li Chongyi pass on the valuable experience he gained in Baekje to the students at the Military Academy.
After all, the Tang Dynasty is now in an era of change where firearms and cold weapons alternate.
It would be a pity not to share this experience.
Li Shimin finally finalized the matter and appointed Li Chongyi as the top official of the Wuhan Academy.
But this highest official is not that highest official.
The only thing the highest official in the Wuhan Academy can do is teach students, and as for other powers, they have almost zero authority.
The simplest thing is that in terms of recruiting candidates, the review and approval process is extremely strict.
Even if a candidate's scores meet the standards, they still need to be reviewed and approved at all levels.
In the end, these reports will fall into the hands of Li Chengqian and Li Ke.
After the two people jointly review it, the admission document will be issued to the candidate and he will be allowed to study at the Wuhan Academy.
But the old man said.
Because of this, Li Chongyi accepted bribes and allowed people who should not have entered the Wuhan Academy to enter.
Isn't this a joke?
Li Chengqian couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
I really didn't expect that because of this incident, Li Chongyi would be brought to such disaster.
