"Jiulang, is this the final result of your interrogation?"
Looking at the file presented by Li Zhi, Li Shimin's face showed no distinction between joy and anger.
Li Zhi felt uneasy, but he still lowered his head and reported back: "Father, the emperor, and my sons and ministers jointly investigated with Dali Temple. Although they found that the Wu family had allowed family members to commit crimes and killed others. In addition, the Wu family was indeed not found. Evidence of rebellion
Wu family. She has never violated the rules in the palace, and all the people in her palace have been tortured and interrogated, and she has not seen any contact with Wu's colleagues with unknown traces."
"So, you sentenced their whole family. Exiled to Lingnan? Was Wu sent to Chongsheng Palace to be ordained?”
"Yes, Father." Li Zhi replied bravely, "Although Wu did not participate in the Wu family's murder, she should be punished for being implicated. However, Wu is a married woman and should be exempted from punishment according to law.
However, when the Wu family commits crimes, not only It resulted in the death of a person and the destruction of his whole family, which caused great anger among the people. Therefore, in addition to the Wu family being exiled, the Wu family should also go to Chongsheng Palace to receive ordination and pray for the deceased's family."
This is Li Zhi and Wei Xiang. The result after discussion. There is no evidence for the Wu family's rebellion, especially for the Wu family, who lived in the harem and did not violate any rules. But now, if they want to punish their family for treason, they can't fabricate so-called evidence out of thin air.
However, after this interrogation and search, it was found that the Wu family was very domineering in their hometown. It was fine when the old Duke was around, and they knew how to restrain themselves. After the death of the old Duke, the Wu brothers became even more lawless.
Not only do they have no respect or love for the villagers, but also for their stepmother and their step-sister. Otherwise, Mrs. Wu would not have sent her fourteen-year-old daughter to the palace, saying that she was a chariot attendant, but in fact she was just trying to avoid trouble.
This time, their whole family was arrested. In order to escape guilt, the Wu brothers not only completely distanced themselves from their relationship with Wu, but also said a lot of heartbreaking words, which added to the investigation and evidence collection in Dali Temple.
That is to say, Prime Minister Wei was experienced and saw through it at a glance, so he did not implicate more innocent people.
If this was his way, I really wanted to kill the Wu brothers directly.
But in the end, after peeling off the cocoon, the truth finally came to light. It is true that the Wu family has never rebelled, let alone the Wu family.
But in view of Tianjuan's words, the threat that the Wu family may pose to the Tang Dynasty in the future is more to reassure his father. He then ordered Wu to go to Chongsheng Palace to become a monk and practice.
At this point, he felt that this matter had a very happy ending. The Wu family was exiled, and the Wu family lost its roots. She became a nun and spent her whole life accompanying the ancient Buddha Qing Deng. It is estimated that she will never be able to enter the world again. How can she disrupt the court after becoming a country?
Wu is not yet twenty years old, so it is a bit cruel to live like this for the rest of his life. But after all, she still saved her life, right?
"The Wu family was exiled, and the Wu family went to Chongsheng Palace to be ordained?" Li Shimin repeated the result again, pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter, you go down Let’s go!”
Li Zhi didn’t understand what his father meant, but in short, this matter had nothing to do with him from now on.
Although this made him relieved, he had a strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart, feeling that his father was not particularly satisfied with him. But since he was a child, he had become accustomed to not being valued by his father, so he didn't look into it further.
He decided to listen to his uncle and just do what his father asked him to do. As for the rest, his father naturally had his own considerations.
As soon as Li Zhi left, Changsun Wuji stood up from behind. Li Shimin said without looking back: "After all, I am still less decisive in killing!"
Rebellion has always been a problem. It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist, not to mention that Tianjuan has already predicted the future. It can be said that the Wu family must be a big problem for the Tang Dynasty. But this Jiulang was still talking to him about criminal laws, and he was really trying to compete with Wei Xiang in a rigid way.
“But Jiulang is right, according to the law, this is indeed the case.” Changsun Wuji replied with a smile, “If the prince and Qingque were half as loyal and upright as him, they would not end up like this. "
The words of Changsun Wuji only made Li Shimin feel half relieved. If he is the son of an ordinary person, of course the more upright the better, but if he is an emperor, he should have a longer-term perspective. It's a pity...
Seeing Li Shimin's look, Changsun Wuji knew that he must be thinking about the prince and Qingque again. The prince has now been demoted to a commoner and sent to Qianzhou. He has already set off a few days ago.
Qingque was demoted to Shunyang County King and has also set off for Yunxiang. Moreover, their majesty did not even give him a gift for his favorite son, which showed their disappointment in him. It must be difficult to come back in the future.
So, now His Majesty’s only legitimate son is Jiuro. Unless His Majesty is extremely disappointed with Jiulang, otherwise, he will not pass the throne to other concubine sons.
"Loyalty is indeed good, but I am just afraid that he will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives." Li Shimin was still worried.
"But Jiulang has a pure nature and would never do anything to harm his brothers. I heard that a few days ago, he even interceded for the prince and Qingque, hoping that your majesty could forgive them."
Li Shimin glanced sideways at Changsun Wuji: "I heard that Jiulang has a good relationship with you."
Changsun Wuji immediately cheered up: "Jiulang is my nephew, and so are the prince and Silang. I treat them all the same." Treat everyone equally, but Jiulang regards me as his uncle."
Changsun Wuji's words contained a lot of meaning, and Li Shimin couldn't understand it, so he immediately snorted: "But in the future..."
"I understand!" Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Changsun Wuji immediately replied, "I will definitely help the King of Jin more in the future."
Listen He changed "Jiulang" to "Prince Jin" and Li Shimin's expression relaxed. Then he thought of the Wu family who was about to be sent to Chongsheng Palace: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, this Wu family must not stay."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The case has just been concluded. It is a case that Jiulang personally supervised. Naturally, the result cannot be changed casually. What's more, Prime Minister Wei is also deeply involved in this case, and Prime Minister Wei's body is afraid..."
Remembering that he had just made him the Crown Prince and Tutor not long ago, the Crown Prince came out. When the matter was over, Li Shimin couldn't bear it, so he sighed heavily: "Since it is a case handled by Prime Minister Wei, let's let it go again!" "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Empress Wu Zetian never expected that , although Tianjuan intervened, her life and death were reversed at this moment.
Li Shimin, who had taken care of the relevant matters, finally had time to look at Tianjuan and found that Tianjuan was answering his last question.
[V@丁 exhausted Li Erlang: Is Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty Li Zhi? 】
In response to his question, Lei Xiaomeng gave a more detailed answer.
[Reply to 1V@佘 exhausted Li Erlang Tang Gaozong was Li Zhi, the ninth son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the third son of Empress Changsun. Although his achievements were rarely mentioned in later generations. But he was also the most neglected and underestimated emperor of the Tang Dynasty. 】
[Reply 2: When he was in power, he destroyed Goguryeo, which had been a headache since the founding of the Sui and Tang dynasties. The Western Turks were also destroyed when he was in power. He also defeated Baekje and Japan, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty reached its largest size during his reign. 】
[Reply 3 continued During his reign, the Tang Dynasty was peaceful and peaceful, the people were prosperous, and it was called the rule of Yonghui! He was an emperor whose civil and military skills were not inferior to those of his father. 】
Seeing Tianjuan's answer, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile on his face, showing a satisfied expression of "Sure enough,". Changsun Wuji was secretly frightened when he heard this. Tianjuan's kind words for Li Zhi made him feel like he didn't even know his nephew.
But then I thought again and it became clear. As an emperor, you only have to make decisions. As for what to do, who to attack, and how to deal with political affairs, it does not depend on the advice and advice of the courtiers.
Thinking of this, his heart also surged. Thinking of the invincible power of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and that he would witness it one by one, he felt as if he was a few years younger.
At this moment, Tang Gaozong looked at the angry queen in front of him and Shangguan Yi kneeling on the ground. However, he was far from being as high-spirited and wise as the Tianjuan said. Instead, he was a little worried.
“I heard that Your Majesty is going to depose my concubine? Is this possible?”
Wu Meiniang looked at Gaozong with a pair of charming eyes full of coldness.
"I...I..." Looking at his queen, Li Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment, and actually felt a little guilty.
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Wu Meiniang looked at Shangguan Yi who was kneeling next to her: "Sir Shangguan, do you think that His Majesty wants to abolish the Queen? And you have even written the edict for His Majesty to abolish the Queen. ”
“Chen...” Shangguan Yi also Cold sweat broke out, "I...I received the edict from your majesty before..."
"Sir Shangguan, you mean that it was your majesty who asked you to draft the edict?" Wu Meiniang said with a half-smile. Walking towards him, "His Majesty asked you to issue an edict to abolish the queen?"
"I...I am indeed..."
As he spoke, Shangguan Yi looked at Li Zhi, hoping that His Majesty could say something, but Li Zhi closed his eyes tightly and supported his head with his hands, looking painful. He looked like he had a headache.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Yi's heart thumped and she knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, seeing Li Zhi seeming to faint, Wu Meiniang sneered and looked at Shangguan Yi again: "Shangguanyi, your Majesty doesn't seem to mean this. So, it's your own meaning. "
"I don't dare!" Shangguan Yi turned pale and immediately knelt on the ground, "It's your Majesty, it's your Majesty..."
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? You can tell me that His Majesty was also present, but he didn't say that he wanted to depose me as the Queen. So, are you trying to trick His Majesty into deposing him as the Queen?"
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian's face turned solemn: "Shangguanyi, how brave are you! How dare you poison After your majesty is deposed, how dare you! Tell me, who asked you to do this! Who ordered you to mess with the Great Tang Dynasty!"
"I don't think so! "At this moment, Shangguan Yi just felt like he was covered in words and couldn't explain clearly.
"Mei Niang, I have a headache, you...just let Sir Shangguan go down first! I want to have a good rest!" At this time, Li Zhi finally spoke, obviously trying to save Shangguan Yi.
“No!” Wu Meiniang’s eyes flashed with coldness, “If Mr. Shangguan just walks out of here today, I will have no choice but to die here. This matter must be resolved today!”
