There was a discussion going on in the lobby of Zongzheng Temple. Li Hui ran in panting. After muttering a few words in Li Chengqian's ear, the prince, who was commanding Ruoding among the millions of troops, slipped the tea cup in his hand and broke into eight pieces.

Under everyone's doubtful eyes, they took the chapter from Li Hui's hand, raised their hands, and motioned for him to tell him the whole story.

It turns out that after the imperial decree was changed to the prince presiding over the trial, the treatment of the three Li Daoxings and the detainees in the two mansions was changed. Daily supplies were provided according to the original order, and they were allowed to meet their family members to show the fairness of the court. After all, people are not cold-blooded animals.

, all have feelings, which is also very helpful for the investigation of the case.

Yesterday, Li Daoxing locked himself in the house after seeing his family. He just asked for a bottle of wine and pen and paper, saying that he wanted to write a memorial. The guards were all old people from Zongzheng Temple. They were different from those who were born.

In the face of the prince and his fellow clan members, he also complied with the request.

But when I went to dinner today, I found that Li Daoxing had hanged himself from the beam. The belt he used to hang himself was the belt given to him by the prince. There was only an empty wine flask and a memorial left on the table. What's more coincidentally, the prisoner was in another place.

Princess Zhang of Changle also committed suicide by slitting her wrists at the same time. The people below knew that they had caused trouble and did not watch over the culprits, so they were kneeling outside the main hall to beg for death.

Everyone is dead, so what's the point of asking for forgiveness? He knows very well what Li Daoxing's temper is. If he wants to die, no one can stop him. And it can be seen from this chapter that Li Daoxing's heart is already dead.

If he hadn't worried about his family, he would have committed suicide long ago.

His posthumous chapter states: I, the Prince of Changle County, Li Daoxing, paid a hundred bows and bowed my head in the prison cell of Zongzheng Temple, and presented it to His Majesty, the Most Holy Emperor.

Raised troops in Jinyang, attacked Western Qin, fought in Hulao, conquered Liu Wu, refused to retreat in the face of battle, and took the lead when encountering the enemy...

I am fortunate in my life to follow the two holy lords to pacify the world and save the people from fire and water? With so little merit? It is really shameful to be granted the throne. I know that my talents are shallow and cannot be used, and I do not want to let Your Majesty take precedence over government and military affairs.

Difficult? Put the Li family in the dark? So after Zhenguan, he spent the rest of his life as an official and dissolute.

Have you ever thought that you would be killed like this when you were so young? How willing would I be to be slandered as a traitor who rebelled against the country and betrayed my master? I have been on the battlefield for many years? I have already put my life and death aside? If I didn’t want to bear the name of rebellion, how could I be willing to accept this punishment?

The humiliation of officials.

The prince is benevolent and gives preferential treatment to his family. I believe that his heart is bright? Sooner or later he will return his innocence. But I have a bad temper? I would rather break than bend. I have no heirs and only one daughter in the family. She got married long ago. Now I have

Seeing that everyone in the house is safe, I have no regrets in my heart, and am I willing to prove my innocence with my blood? I will never be a traitor until my death.

Li Hui had just finished speaking. Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia who was listening, couldn't sit still. He quickly stepped forward and asked to see the posthumous seal. It was his younger brother who died? Can he be so unhurried? Li Chengqian didn't blame him either.

He was so rude. After handing it to him, he sat on the chair and rubbed his temples with one hand. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: At such an old age, you have such a bad temper? What's the rush?

Li Daozong was silent. Li Yao, the prince of Jibei County, and Li Xuan, the prince of Hanyang County, could not bear it anymore. They stood up and publicly impeached Wu with sad and angry faces. The two kings of Wei did not say anything about the crime, which made the national honorary king suffer.

Persecution, crying injustice and dying.

It is said that the clan and the country are of the same body. They, the princes of the prefectures, are different from the princes of the imperial line. Their thrones were obtained through hundreds of battles and meritorious deeds. Now they are devastated by such unfair treatment, so they beg the prince to deal with it strictly!

Li Ke was trying to avoid danger, while Li Tai was gloating about misfortune. Without the inaction of the two of them, what happened today would never have been like this. But these people were not instigated by them or their subordinates, so for such accusations, the two of them

Of course this is unacceptable.

"Brother, you know my brother well. Even if my brother doesn't have much contact with Uncle Wang, I will definitely not humiliate him like this. Besides, Zhewei and the others have been with my brother for many years, so I will never do anything to them!"

As soon as Li Ke finished speaking, the little fat man stopped sleeping and quickly took over the words: "Brother, you know my brother, if I did it, you would still be able to sleep so peacefully!"

Li Chengqian didn't know whether they did it, but it was hard for him to protect him. After all, the three kings of Li Daozong represented all the clan children of the Beiya Imperial Army. This was a force that could not be ignored. It would chill their hearts.

, that would be difficult to handle.

No matter when, the army cannot be in chaos. This really makes him a little embarrassed. It's not that he has no power to detain the two kings, but the impact is really too bad.

Just when Li Chengqian was hesitant, Li Daozong put this chapter on the table and turned around silently to leave. Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian became anxious, no, what would happen if Li Daozong left today?

People would think that the emperor and the prince protected the princes of the imperial family and ignored other meritorious clans, so they were wronged!

"Uncle Emperor, stay!" After stopping Li Daozong, he continued: "Immediately, the two kings of Wu and Wei will be detained in Zongzheng Temple. The post of Zongzhengqing will be taken over by Gu Chu, and all the guards involved will be handed over to the internal guards for trial.

, the order was sent to Changsun Chong, and I only gave him three days."

"In addition, the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Temple officials will collect the bodies of Prince Changle and his wife. After the case is over, they will be hidden in the royal cemetery. The Ministry of Industry can now start the construction of the royal tombs. Well, let's do it according to the prince's specifications!"

After the prince finished speaking, the guards came up and took the two brothers Li Ke away. As for the two kings' words of grievance, no one paid any attention to them. Li Daozong and others could no longer put on airs and saluted the prince one after another, and then

Sit back again.

Not only the three of them knew it, but everyone present knew that the two kings had always wanted to seize the throne. They had been at odds with the prince for many years, and now that he was detained by the prince, it was inevitable that someone in the court would say that the prince took advantage of the opportunity of handling the case to eliminate dissidents.

Even if this is not his original intention, people will say so, which is a cause for suspicion. What the prince did was already extremely fair. No matter how hypocritical a person is, he must be convinced. After the clan members of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army know about it, their hearts will be filled with doubts.

It's definitely settled.

"With such a big incident, we can't just investigate the three of King Changle. This is simply treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. We should arrest all the hunting personnel from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for trial.

I don’t believe it anymore. If there are no domestic thieves, they can attract foreign ghosts, so their bodies are guaranteed to be clean?" After speaking, Li Chengqian waved his hand, indicating that this was the end of the discussion today, and he had to go into the palace to explain to the emperor.
