It was only then that Li Shimin came to his senses.
Because Wei Zheng, the minister of Dali Temple, was transferred by Li Shimin to thoroughly investigate Cui Yinghe's case.
Now, Changsun Wuji is in charge of Dali Temple.
If Changsun Wuji was not there to help him, no matter how talented Li Chengqian was, how could he bribe the old man of Dali Temple?
now.
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin with such embarrassment that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
This nephew is really a scammer.
Changsun Wuji may have forgotten that when his nephew was a child, he personally formed an organization called the Cheating Trio, which was dedicated to cheating on fathers.
As for cheating my uncle, isn't that just a matter of supporting him?
In fact, the facts are exactly what Li Shimin thought.
Before doing anything, Li Chengqian had greeted him.
At that time, Changsun Wuji also felt that what Li Chengqian said was reasonable and let him go.
But he never expected that Li Chengqian would ask the prison boss to tell the truth without even trying to hide it.
"you two……"
Li Shimin raised his hand and pointed at Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian, his teeth chattering.
It looked like he was going to eat the two of them alive.
"Father, if we have something to say, please don't be angry."
Li Chengqian said slowly: "These two people deserve to die, whether they die early or late, they are the ones who deserve this end."
"Even if they brought it upon themselves, it's not your turn to punish them!"
Li Shimin glared at Li Chengqian and said, "Tell me, who are you? What right do you have to decide the life and death of courtiers?"
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's expression also changed slightly.
What started out as cynicism turned into a book of truth.
"I am the prince, the prince of the Tang Dynasty."
"It's not my turn to call the shots in this world, and it's not my turn to deal with my father's latent heroes."
Li Chengqian pointed at himself and said: "But in addition to being the prince, I am also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and I am also Li You's brother."
"My brother is nothing outstanding."
"But what's more important is that he has a careful mind. With a little discipline, he can become a capable minister in governing the world and a good general in guarding the border."
"He should have had a good future, but what happened?"
"Because the traitor was teasing him next to him, he didn't even have a chance to stand out, so he was demoted to a place like Qianzhou where no one can shit."
Li Chengqian met Li Shimin's gaze and said slowly: "Whether you hit me or scold me, I don't think I did anything wrong."
"I even feel that I haven't done enough."
When he said this, Li Chengqian's face turned terrifyingly gloomy.
"Because I am short of time, I cannot let them experience all the pain in this world."
"If you give me another chance, I will lock them up first."
"Then hang their lives with ginseng soup and let them suffer all the punishments in the world before they die."
He said these words not just to prove to Li Shimin how worthy these two people were and how right he was.
In fact, this is also a reflection of his inner self.
He hated Yin Hongzhi and Zhang Liang very much.
If they hadn't protected those corrupt officials, hundreds of thousands of local people in Qinzhou would not be living in such hardship.
If they hadn't colluded with Cui Yinghe to pick up the pieces, the lives of many ministers in Chang'an would not have been manipulated by others, and Li Chengqian would not have suffered those consequences.
Of course, none of this is important to Li Chengqian.
The important thing is that if they hadn't been instigated, he, Li You, Li Ke and even Li Tai could have become the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, opening up territory for the Tang Dynasty and protecting the land of China.
But there are no ifs in this world.
They exist, and Li You was instigated by them and embarked on a path of no return.
Li Chengqian let them die in Yuan Yuan's hands, which was actually a relief for them.
After all, if they fall into Li Chengqian's hands.
Then their fate will most likely be worse than death.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian blankly and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time.
Li Shimin took a long breath.
He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Don't you regret it?"
"regret?"
"Why should I regret it?"
Li Chengqian chuckled: "Actually, speaking of regrets, I do have some."
"It's just that what I regret is that I didn't execute them myself."
"But have you ever thought about your father?"
Li Shimin pointed at himself and said in a deep voice: "How can I explain to those ministers like this?"
He personally said in the court that Zhang Liang and Yin Hongzhi would die a decent death.
Now this happened.
Once word gets out about this, where will his credibility be? How should he explain to these ministers? What would these ministers think of him?
"It's very simple."
Li Chengqian walked to the corner, brought a broom and handed it to Li Shimin.
The next moment.
Li Chengqian knelt directly in front of Li Shimin.
He cupped his hands and said expressionlessly: "My son knows that his sins are serious, so why not kick him out?"
"After my son leaves, my father can establish a new prince."
"Actually, I have already thought about this day, from the moment Kedi entered the court."
"My son taught him all the things that the prince should do, and the courtiers were quite convinced of Kedi."
"As long as my father gives the order, Kedi can become the prince of the dynasty."
"No matter what happens, my father can re-train Qingque."
"He has no other shortcomings, it's just that he's too thoughtful. If my father teaches him the same way he taught me, he will definitely become a model prince in all dynasties!"
After saying these words, Li Chengqian knocked his head on the ground: "Father, please make a decision!"
At this time, Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were both confused.
They really didn't expect that Li Chengqian would sing this song again.
You know, just a few days ago, Li Chengqian was almost deposed.
Still under the pleadings of the courtiers, Li Shimin withdrew his order.
But now he actually took the initiative to mention this matter.
Or because of the two criminals Zhang Liang and Yin Hongzhi.
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Qian'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Please apologize to His Majesty!"
Fang Xuanling also said: "Your Majesty, deposing the crown prince is not a piece of cake. How can you say it casually? Don't joke with His Majesty!"
After hearing this, Li Shimin's expression changed.
The only words left on his face were: Are you looking for a beating?
