Li Yuan's expression was extremely cold.
"hehe……"
He stared at Li Shimin and said coldly,
"I remember, this Du Yan is your confidant, right? I think his remarks are quite good... What does His Highness, King Qin, think?"
Plop!
Li Shimin knelt down directly on the ground and said firmly:
"Father, calm down!"
"Er Chen believes that these remarks are indeed treacherous and unethical! But I have doubts about whether such rebellious remarks came from Du Yan's mouth."
He glanced at the boy.
To be honest, there were thousands of servants in Tiance Mansion, and he really didn't know the person in front of him.
But that's not the key. Even if he is an extra, as long as the emperor believes it, then he is!
"This whistleblower, I admire your courage very much. If you really expose a rebellious minister, then I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
Li Shimin looked directly at the young man and said loudly,
"But I have a few doubts, please answer them."
"Slave... I must tell you everything I know." The boy lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Shimin at all.
"good."
Li Shimin took a breath and said in a deep voice,
"First, under what circumstances did Du Yan say these words? Was anyone talking to him at the time? It's impossible for a person to complain loudly to himself and slander the emperor, right? No one would be so stupid, right? "
"If you are talking to someone, then who is the person you are talking to? Since you are a servant of Tiance Mansion, I, the king's retainer, should also recognize him, right? Can you identify him?"
Boy: "..."
"second!"
Li Shimin asked again without waiting for his reply,
"Which courtyard was Du Yan at that time? You said you overheard it while passing by, so what were you going to do at that time? Where were you going?"
"You can't be here just to eavesdrop, right?"
Cold sweat broke out on the boy's face, and his body even swayed a little.
"I, I..." His mind went blank and he was speechless.
"third!"
Li Shimin stared at him and said loudly,
"Since you could hear Du Yan talking, did anyone also hear what he was talking about at that time? If you were the only one who heard it, then who knows if it was a lie that you deliberately framed and fabricated?"
"For such a major incident, if there are no other witnesses or physical evidence, how can we listen to your family's words?!"
After three consecutive questions, Li Shimin, with his supreme power, frightened the young man out of his wits. His legs became weak and he almost knelt on the ground!
"Answer me immediately!"
Li Shimin ordered.
Plop!
The boy staggered and fell to his knees, his face turned pale and his body was trembling.
He couldn't answer any of Li Shimin's three questions!
For a moment, there were whispers in the court hall.
Looking at this situation, this report... there is a high probability that it is a "false accusation"!
After all, Li Shimin's questions were all well-founded, but after three consecutive questions, the other party couldn't answer them.
Isn't this too abnormal?
"King Qin, do you think this reporter is fabricating facts and deliberately framed?"
Li Yuan's face was a little confused. He took over the topic and asked,
"What do you mean... Du Yan will never criticize the imperial court or slander me?"
Li Shimin shook his head.
"My son, I definitely don't mean this."
He said with an upright face,
"It's just that the more arguments are made, the clearer the truth becomes. If he can give more details, Du Yan's accusation of treason will be more solid!"
"If you kill Du Yan vaguely, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and discussion. This will affect your sage, father!"
Li Yuan was choked by these words and had nothing to say. For a moment, the court fell into a brief silence.
Li Jiancheng looked at his second brother. Even though he was extremely unhappy, a hint of admiration inevitably arose in his heart.
In terms of staying calm in times of crisis, he is indeed not as good as Li Shimin!
"Why, can't you answer it?"
Li Shimin looked at the shivering boy and said,
"It's better than this. I ask my father to bring Du Yan and confront you in court! How about that?"
These words scared the boy to the point of almost peeing, and he subconsciously turned his gaze to Pei Ji aside, with a look of pleading in his eyes.
He really couldn't withstand Li Shimin's pressure!
"enough!"
Pei Ji gave him a hard look and said solemnly,
"Your Highness King Qin, please pay attention to the occasion. This is a meeting of the imperial court! It is not a place for the county magistrate to review cases!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming Zhuzhao, can't you even distinguish the authenticity of this?"
He looked at Li Shimin and said in a deep voice:
"I have heard a little bit about Du Yan. I heard that he has a romantic nature and often hangs out in romantic places. He has caused a lot of troubles among the people. His reputation is very bad!"
"You can see clearly if you can see the leopard in the pipe! It is reasonable for a person with such bad conduct to say such sarcastic remarks, because he is that kind of person!"
"The King of Qin is so probing and insisting on getting to the bottom of it. Does it mean that he doesn't believe in His Majesty's judgment? Or is it because you are afraid of being implicated by Du Yan?"
Li Shimin's expression changed.
This Pei Ji is so shameless! After saying this great truth and putting down the big hat, it is clear that he wants to play a rogue!
"Of course not."
Although Li Shimin was not angry, he could only say,
"My son naturally believes in my father's judgment, but..."
"Okay!" Li Yuan waved his hand impatiently.
"I don't want to pursue too much on such a trivial matter!"
He said a little sullenly,
"Pei Qing is right, I can't even tell the truth from the false!"
"Du Yan is definitely not a good man! Staying in your Tiance Mansion will only affect your character and lead you astray!"
"Seeing that he still has some military exploits over the years, I have decided to banish Du Yan for five thousand miles for the crime of disrespect!"
"What objections do you have, sirs?"
Taking advantage of Pei Ji's firepower, Li Yuan made a decisive decision and made a decision!
The departure or stay of such a small person will naturally not cause any reaction from the courtiers.
"King Qin, do you have any objections?"
Li Yuan expressed satisfaction with the silence in the court, then glanced at Li Shimin and asked lightly.
His expression seemed to say——
Don't be ignorant!
"My son, I have no objection."
Li Shimin sighed softly in his heart, cupped his hands and said,
"My son just thought that for such a serious crime, being exiled would really be an advantage for him."
"Everyone in the family should be executed, including the nine clans involved!"
"If my son is not strict with his subordinates, he should be severely punished by his father!"
These words were extremely serious, but there was also an inexplicable sense of irony in them.
It is a crime of disrespect to banish someone for five thousand miles for being ignorant.
It was clearly a crime of implication caused by Du Fengju!
If you want to punish me, Li Shimin, you don't need to use such covert means!
The arrogance in Li Er's heart made him naturally despise this so-called Machiavellian method!
It's so bad that it makes you want to vomit!
