"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
The sound arrived before the people outside arrived.
When everyone was puzzled, they knew that the person coming was none other than Wang Guifei.
The royal concubine entered the palace with runny noses and tears.
She cried like pear blossoms and rain.
Queen Changsun frowned when she saw her coming.
The so-called crying children get candy.
This royal concubine still has some tricks up her sleeve.
She also gave birth to a son named Li Yun for Li Shimin.
"Wang Guifei, what's going on with you?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, this morning, one of my cousins was beaten seriously and is now lying at home unable to go out."
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
"Of course there will be people talking about this fight. What's the point of you coming to the palace to cause trouble?"
"Your Majesty, if an ordinary person beat my brother, that would be okay, but the murderer is in this palace, how can I not seek justice for him?"
At this point, people began to wonder, who is in the palace? So bold that you dare to go out and beat someone seriously?
"Whoever it is, I will decide for you!"
Li Shimin said.
"It's him!"
Concubine Wang pointed at Li Chengqian and said.
Now everyone was surprised.
Li Shimin was even more puzzled.
Not to mention others, Li Chengqian himself felt strange.
He shouted: "Wang Guifei, you are really the evil one to complain first. It was Wang Xie who beat this prince like this yesterday, and Xu Jingzong is still lying there with serious injuries, but that guy said that we beat him! I It’s not a bad thing if you don’t ask him to reason!”
Li Chengqian was very angry. Why? Just because he couldn't cry?
Just four taels of meat from Wang Guifei?
Gave birth to a son for Li Shimin?
Just because she is from the Wang family?
"Don't deny it. It was you who did the beating. Otherwise, who in the entire Chang'an City would dare to do such a thing?"
Concubine Wang said that she was right, the security in Chang'an has always been very good.
Usually this kind of thing doesn't happen.
Coupled with the status of the Wang family, who would dare to fight except members of the royal family?
"Look, Queen Mother, my son would never do something like that, and he was even injured. It still hurts here!"
Concubine Wang sneered, "Maybe it was the injury she suffered at that time. Your Majesty, you must make the decision for me this time! It's best to impeach the prince. This prince is really unsuitable!"
Impeach?
Li Chengqian never imagined that Wang Guifei was so poisonous in her heart, so she was about to be impeached?
"Wang Guifei, it is up to your Majesty to decide whether to impeach or not. What order are you blindly giving?"
Empress Changsun couldn't listen anymore and retorted directly.
"Queen, the prince has made a mistake, and the common people are also guilty. This matter may be big or small, but it is still a big thing. Let's not talk about the prince leaving the palace privately. As far as beating someone is concerned, it is wrong to do it."
“Wrong and right are obvious to those with a discerning eye, so you don’t need to mention them!”
Empress Changsun actually believed that Li Chengqian was innocent. Before anything was investigated, it would be too early to make a conclusion.
"Don't say a few words, I'll ask!"
Li Shimin said, everyone was silent.
He asked:
"Xu Jingzong, what's going on!"
Li Shimin didn't ask Li Chengqian any more.
"Your Majesty, this... this..."
Xu Jingzong was hesitant and unable to speak.
"Say what you know!"
Li Shimin was speechless and asked Cheng Yaojin again.
"Your Majesty, they had a conflict yesterday and almost fought. Later, people from Yihonglou came out to solve the problem. I really don't know what happened next. Because I am not there anymore, and they don't know where they are. , maybe there was a real fight, or maybe they went somewhere."
Cheng Yaojin said truthfully.
When Li Shimin heard this, he seemed a little interested.
The results pointed to Li Chengqian taking action.
There must have been a fight between the two sides, and then Li Chengqian was injured.
"is that so?"
"Yes, yes... But Erchen didn't beat him. On the contrary, he brought many people over to beat us. Erchen was beaten by him."
Li Shimin was almost furious.
Every day, Jing causes trouble for himself.
"Hey! You guys! Okay, Concubine Wang, please step aside and I will handle it!"
Li Shimin said suddenly.
Concubine Wang was puzzled.
"But Your Majesty... the matter has not been resolved yet."
"Are my words useless? Go down and let me solve the problem. Those who should be punished will inevitably be punished!"
"No...it's not."
"Then don't back down yet!"
Li Shimin shouted.
Concubine Wang was so frightened that she retreated.
After he retreated, Li Chengqian was very frightened. He was probably going to be beaten next, right?
Li Shimin was seen walking to his side.
He closed his eyes.
Afraid of being beaten.
But instead of waiting for a fight, Li Shimin helped him up.
"Father, this..."
"Well done, kid!"
Li Chengqian:......
"Father, please don't scare me."
Li Chengqian was frightened.
"My child, you did something wrong about the brothel, and I will punish you, but you did a good job regarding the Wang family, and I want to reward you!"
This time, Li Chengqian was completely confused.
Who told him what happened?
Until Empress Changsun said: "My child, you have to know your father's painstaking efforts. The Wang family and other five and five aristocratic families once left Your Majesty at a loss. Today you beat a member of the Wang family, which vented a bad breath on His Majesty's behalf. Your Majesty is happy, so you have to Reward you."
Now everyone finally understood.
In this way, no matter what Li Chengqian did, as long as it was against the Wang family, Li Shimin would naturally take the blame.
No wonder Wang Guifei was allowed to leave first.
But Li Chengqian clearly didn't do anything and was beaten. Do you want to admit this?
If you admit it, you will be rewarded. What if you don’t?
I'm afraid that there is nothing, should I say something against my will?
This made Li Chengqian fall into deep thought.
"Your Highness, just admit it."
Xu Jingzong advised from the side.
He did not forget to say: "At that time, I also supported His Highness the Crown Prince, and I beat up that boy from the Wang family."
"Oh? Is that really true?"
"That is it."
"If this is the case, then Xu Jingzong's punishment will be reduced to thirty strokes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
What Li Shimin did was tantamount to encouraging the enemy of the Wang family.
Regarding this matter regarding the Wang family, Li Shimin and Li Min even stood on the same side.
It's a pity that the two father and son have turned against each other now, and Li Shimin can't help but admit his mistake.
Li Min also has a strong foundation, and it is probably impossible for the two of them to reconcile.
But this is not important, it does not prevent Li Min from becoming stronger.
"Qian'er, is that so?"
"Yes, Father."
"Very good, this is difficult for you too, by the way, Kong Yingda!"
"I'm here!"
"You taught well, I will revoke your punishment!"
Kong Yingda refused in his heart. He wanted to say, no, punish me...
He was about to speak, but someone interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, Li Chunfeng wants to see you!"
Li Shimin was happy and said directly.
"Xuan!"
