The Chu Suiliang case finally ended with Chu Suiliang being beheaded in public. The news that Chu Suiliang was wronged at the execution ground and the people left in silence also reached Li Shimin's ears.
Li Shimin didn't express the slightest comment on this, and only said four words, "I know!"
Although these four words are very plain, Eunuch Huang, who has served His Majesty for so many years, knows that His Majesty is angry, really angry, and also knows why His Majesty is angry.
After learning about this incident, His Majesty called Li Junxian to the imperial study room and scolded him bloody. Although this matter had nothing to do with Li Junxian, Li Shimin always found a way to vent his anger. Unfortunately, , Li Junxian became this venting bucket. He could only bow his head and accept the punishment, and did not dare to say a word.
Indeed, originally this matter was handled smoothly, but something happened in the last piece of evidence, which no one expected.
If the evidence had not been damaged, Chu Suiliang would not have been the only one on the guillotine at this time, but many people would have been beheaded on their knees in a queue.
If Changsun Wuji knew that Chu Suiliang had escaped disaster due to poor evidence preservation, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
It's just that it's impossible for him to know about this matter. This is also where Li Shimin is clever.
Changsun Mansion, Changsun Wuji returned to the mansion with a gloomy and terrifying face. The Great Elder was sitting aside. He also knew everything about what happened today through the stories of his subordinates. His face was no better than Changsun Wuji.
"Master, please don't behead Chu Suiliang. This matter is almost over. Since Your Majesty hasn't touched you, I'm afraid he won't do anything to you again. Even if someone is involved, as long as Your Majesty protects you, there will be no problem. Didn't you look at Chu Suiliang?" Suiliang has provided the evidence to His Majesty, and he didn't do anything to you, but we may have to hibernate for a few days, and we can't be like before!" the elder advised.
"You're right, we are indeed going to hibernate for a while. There is no news about Chong'er so far, and we don't know what's going on with him. By the way, what's going on with the King of Turks? Isn't there any news yet?" Changsun Wuji Take a deep breath, put today's troubles behind you, and start asking about things.
"There has been no news since the letter from the Turkic King last time, blaming us for not getting the wood bumps!"
"But I heard that the snow is blowing in the north right now. I'm afraid the weather is bad and the news won't be delivered! There should be news in a few days!" the great elder analyzed.
"We must send someone to get in touch with the Turkic King. The January period is coming soon. If we can't get the Western Region Five-Step Snake, the family will suffer by then. This poison is colorless and invisible, so many doctors have found it. If we can't find out the cause of the disease, those strange people are of no use. Now we have to ask for the five-step snake from the Western Regions to solve the family's troubles!" Changsun Wuji clenched his fists tightly. Who else would it be? His own life depends on it. It would be unpleasant in the hands of anyone else, let alone someone as conceited as Changsun Wuji.
Speaking of this matter, the great elder felt deeply remorseful. Although he wanted to save the head of the family with good intentions, attracting a more terrifying enemy was doing bad things with good intentions. Now this incident is entirely caused by him. Yes, if he hadn't invited that so-called expert, the current family crisis wouldn't have happened, and he wouldn't have paid such a high price to get the Lingnan Giant Centipede, let alone bargaining with the Turkic King like a beggar.
Seeing that the great elder did not respond to his words, Changsun Wuji was also stunned. Seeing the lonely and self-blaming look of the great elder, Changsun Wuji shook his head slightly and said: "First elder, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for you, how could I stand up again? I'm afraid I'd have to sit on a push chair for the rest of my life! Even if I were alive at that time, life would be worse than death. Although the family is in crisis now, it's not impossible to survive it. As long as I get With the five-step snake in the Western Regions, the family’s crisis will be solved!”
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, the eldest elder raised his head and nodded: "The family leader is right. As long as we get the Western Region Five-Step Snake, we can relieve the family's crisis. I will arrange the manpower right now and I will definitely find a way to go there." Turks, find the Turk king!"
With that said, the great elder stood up and left in a hurry.
Looking at the departing figure of the great elder, Changsun Wuji shook his head and sighed, but then he calmed down his mood. He couldn't feel sorry for himself at this time. There were still many things waiting for him. If he wasn't careful, he would be doomed. of!
The next morning in the morning, the atmosphere in the court was a bit strange. Every official who entered the Taiji Hall would steal a glance at Changsun Wuji. The incident of Chu Suiliang's grievance at the execution ground yesterday had spread throughout Chang'an, and it was even less likely that they, the officials, would be left behind.
They had already understood the whole story through the three-level trial, but no one expected that Chu Suiliang would cry out for injustice on the day of execution at the execution ground. Although Chu Suiliang was eventually beheaded in public, the impact of his words was too bad. Yes, your Majesty may be furious.
After respectfully welcoming His Majesty's arrival, all the ministers sat down in rows. However, after Eunuch Huang read out the memorial for some business and withdrew from the court for no business, strangely no one came out to start the memorial. Today's morning court was really weird.
Li Shimin looked at the ministers below who all shrank their heads and said nothing, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart: "What's wrong? Do you want to report that you have nothing to do today?"
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Finally, the good old man Fang Xuanling came out and said: "Your Majesty, there is a snowstorm in the north. There has been no news for four days. I have ordered people to investigate. I want to come." News will come back in the near future. In addition, the grain and grass destined for the north have been prepared. Will they be escorted to the north today?"
Fang Xuanling should be able to decide whether it is a painless matter or not. However, the court was like this today, so he had to talk about it to relieve His Majesty's embarrassment.
Fang Xuanling already knew about this matter, how could Li Shimin not know about it? He also knew Fang Xuanling's thoughts. Naturally, Li Shimin would not refute his face. He coughed and said: "The food and grass need to be transported to the north as soon as possible. Now the north The wind and snow are very strong, and if the food and grass are cut off, everything will be ruined!"
"I wonder if there is news from the north? How is the construction of Luo Zhang's igloo going?" Li Shimin asked.
"There is no news yet. I think we will get news in a few days!" Fang Xuanling replied.
Compared with the weirdness of the court, in the north, in Dingxiang City, a few days have passed, and there is still no news of the army that went to pursue the Turks. This made Li Jing, who was in Dingxiang City, jump anxiously and sent many people. I went out to search but couldn't get very far before I came back. The wind and snow outside were really too heavy and I couldn't search at all.
Looking at the imperial decree sent by His Majesty on the table, Li Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was only an imperial decree but no one accepted it, so it was useless.
Just when Li Jing was about to order another person to search for Cheng Yaojin and others, a school lieutenant hurried in from outside the door.
"Commander, there is news, there is news!!!"
