The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 218 Meng Ziqian cannot be arrested, he is sick!

"Your Majesty, Meng Jiao has committed suicide!"

In the Manna Palace, Huang Bao bowed slightly and looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin put down the watch in his hand and asked, "An'er, are you injured?"

"We got there in time so there were no injuries."

"Are there any children of the Meng family in the Huben camp under the command of the Sixth Army of the East Palace?"

"No more. However, there are still children of the Meng family in other places, but it should not happen again, because these children of the Meng family have all been controlled by bad people."

After Huang Bao's words made Li Shimin moderately satisfied, he nodded slightly and said: "Huang Bao, this is a wake-up call for you bad people. The Meng family in Luoyang must be strictly guarded. They are not in Chang'an City." , but it also restrained our Chang'an's throat. We must not make any mistakes.

A little legitimate son dares to mobilize the troops of the East Palace privately. They really don't take our royal family seriously. "

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Now we have begun to contact several companies in Jiangnan. As long as those companies in Jiangnan relent, the Meng family will be kicked out directly. By then, the Meng family will be dispensable. "

"It's easier said than done. Those families in the south of the Yangtze River are the most rigid. They only have eyes for themselves. Although we extended our hand, it's a pity that they didn't want to hold it. Now is not the time. Everything is good in Chang'an, but there is insufficient food. The fields here are already very fertile, but there are no high-yielding crops. If a high-yielding crop can appear, then Chang'an will no longer be controlled by others in the future."

After speaking, Li Shimin sighed deeply and said: "Fortunately, Li An recognized a foster father, otherwise I wouldn't know how to help Li An. Cheng Yaojin is really my lucky general." , I will treat him better from now on."

"Your Majesty...!" Huang Bao bowed slightly: "This Meng Ziqian is not very willing. He is already working with the censors who are on good terms with the Meng family. I believe there will be censors who will impeach Mr. Li An when he goes to the palace tomorrow."

"Okay, then you should remember all the impeachment censors one by one. I will settle the accounts with these people one by one after the incident." Li Shimin revealed a hint of cruelty.

Huang Bao bowed again and then withdrew. There was no words for the whole night. When he went to court the next day, as expected, as Cheng Yaojin predicted, this matter was far from over.

"Your Majesty...!" A censor came out and bowed to Li Shimin and shouted: "I have a favor."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Speak!"

"No, someone made a big fuss in Pingkangfang last night and broke the legs of more than 20 innocent people in Shengle Tower. The level of cruelty was simply outrageous. They also kidnapped the oiran of Shengle Tower.

Now the madam of Shenglelou has reported the case, please investigate. "

"Does the Ministry of Punishment have this matter?" Li Shimin asked while sitting on the dragon chair.

Li Daozong came out and bowed: "Your Majesty, someone did come to report this morning, saying that Li An from Lijia Village had kidnapped the oiran!" "Fart...!" Cheng Yaojin yelled angrily: "This is obviously from Shenglelou. The madam has always paid for the oiran's life voluntarily, why should she snatch it away?"

"Haha...!" With a chuckle, the censor just now said with slight disdain: "Yesterday, Duke Lu was here at Shengle Tower, and his adopted son is Li An. Could he be the madam of Shengle Tower? Are you worried about your retaliation from Duke Lu, so you reluctantly have your oiran snatched away?"

"You must have evidence when you speak." Cheng Yaojin smiled coldly at the censor.

"The evidence is sufficient." The censor looked at Li Shimin and said, "Li An first used force to frighten the people in Shengle Tower, and innocently broke the legs of the Meng family guards. Then he used Cheng Guogong's fake power to kill Shengle. The oiran in the building has taken it as his own, and he has a murderous intention, so I ask your Majesty to order Li An to be arrested and interrogated in Dali Temple."

"Ministry of Punishment, do you know whether what happened in Pingkangfang last night is consistent with what Lin Yushi said?" Li Shimin looked at Li Daozong again and asked.

Li Daozong shook his head slightly and said, "What your Majesty Lin Yushi said is not completely right. First of all, Li An knew Liu Zhizhi, the oiran of Shengle Tower. Yesterday, Li An was not innocent. The guard's legs were broken because the Meng family's guards were the ones who came to Shengle Tower to snatch the oiran from Shengle Tower.

Li An probably had a conflict with the guards of the Meng family to protect Liu Zhizhi. I wanted to impeach Meng Ziqian, the legitimate son of the Meng family, here. He without authorization mobilized the Huben battalion of the Sixth Army of the East Palace to surround the Shengle Tower. The crime is so serious that it cannot be ignored. "

Li Shimin showed a trace of satisfaction with Li Daozong, but Li Daozong posed a problem for Li Shimin, that is, Li Daozong asked Li Shimin to arrest Meng Ziqian. You must know that Meng Ziqian cannot be arrested. The interests and risks have been clearly stated above.Capturing Meng Ziqian would be equivalent to starting a war with the Meng family in Luoyang. To be honest, Chang'an at this time was not qualified to go to war with the Meng family in Luoyang because the losses would be huge.

But Li Shimin also knew that if Li Daozong wanted to tell the truth, then Meng Ziqian's crime would have to be revealed, and if this layer of fig leaf was removed, then Li Shimin would have to make his own choice. Is this Meng Ziqian a prisoner? Still not arresting?

Fortunately, just when Li Shimin was in a dilemma, Cheng Yaojin came out with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, I can't stand this Meng Ziqian. I will first inform the Meng family in Luoyang about him, and then think about it later." The Meng family in Luoyang explained that Meng Ziqian has contracted a hidden disease and may not live long."

"Huh!" Cheng Yaojin's words made the people in the court exclaim.

"Zhijie. How did you know about this?" Li Shimin also asked strangely, because Li Shimin didn't know about this either.

Cheng Yaojin smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, this Meng Ziqian's behavior is abominable. A month ago, he kidnapped the sister of the oiran of Shenglelou and tortured her for three days and three nights. After returning, Shenglelou The oiran's biological sister has a hidden disease. There is no need to prove this. Meng Ziqian has a hidden disease.

Therefore, if the young master of a certain family has a close relationship with Meng Ziqian, you should be careful whether you may also have a hidden disease. "

"Ah!" The Censor Lin just turned pale in shock. It felt like a fool knew what was going on, so the people who were standing next to him moved slightly to other places.

At this time, Li Shimin also said: "Well, since Meng Ziqian's time is running out, we will not conduct an interrogation. We will directly explain Meng Ziqian's situation to the Meng family one by one. But I didn't think about it. It really makes me extremely disappointed that such a legitimate son will appear in a good family."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin shouted to disperse the court. Unlike in the past, everyone walked back slowly after saying "dismissal of the court". This time, all the officials ran home because they wanted to go home and ask themselves Has his treacherous son ever interacted with Meng Ziqian, a guy with a hidden disease? If so, it would really be over.
