Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 516 The friendship between the ruler and the minister
The dim candles in the side hall were flickering!
Only Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are left in the huge side hall!
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Qin Qiong were all ordered by Li Shimin to leave the lobby!Some things are not as good as you know!Come to think of it, they must know this truth!After all, there are some things that only Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji know now!

The silence in the hall is extremely quiet!

Li Shimin sat on the lobby and looked at Changsun Wuji quietly!

Then, he threw a stack of thick papers in front of Changsun Wuji.Changsun Wuji picked it up and looked at it, his face turned ashen immediately, Changsun Wuji's face turned ashen, at this moment he met Li Shimin's angry eyes, and his body trembled without fear.

On it, some business records of the Changsun Wuji family are listed, and among them, there are some shady things, such as: occupying high-quality shops, operating illegal things, forcing good people into prostitution, and a series of things.

When Changsun Wuji saw this, his heart was ashamed: every word of the laws of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to engage in business.This not only refers to those who are officials in the court, but even relatives and family members are not allowed. The purpose is to prevent officials in the court from using their power for personal gain.

Changsun Wuji has great ambitions and wants to become a powerful minister, so he needs all kinds of talents, but recruiting talents requires money, and his salary and tax revenue from the territory alone are not enough to maintain his consumption.Therefore, it is no coincidence that some profiteering industries have been supported in secret, and the casino that Qin Feng was lost at the beginning was one of Changsun Wuji's properties in Chang'an.It’s just that very few people know, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When the court sealed up the Changle gambling house, it also seized a large amount of information and communication records. There will be a ghost, and seeing that nothing happened, this person will slack off and leave some information behind.The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple found Changsun Wuji through some small links, and then expanded the results of the battle, and more and more investigations were made, but when all these came to Li Shimin, they were detained.In fact, it is not a secret that officials are in business. He also turned a blind eye to the industries run by some heroes. Before, Li Shimin mistakenly thought that Changsun Wuji cooperated with Changle Casino for money, and Changle Casino also Changsun Wuji's power is needed to deter some people.But it now appears that none of this is a coincidence.

Changsun Wuji couldn't figure it out, but he was also powerless to think about it, this matter had nothing to do with him hanging high up, Taishan collapsed, and he couldn't be crushed, so naturally he didn't need him to change his face, but Li Shimin's angry dragon power came straight to him, No matter how calm and composed he was, at this moment his heart felt cold, he lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Li Shimin laughed back angrily: "Okay, what a dignified uncle, the method is really ruthless, I finally saw it today. Hehe, what a powerful method. Chang'an, an imperial capital with a population of one million, is actually occupied by your eldest grandson's family." A small half of gambling shops and brothels. I ask myself that I have never treated you badly, even if I have treated myself badly, I will reward you. Why do you need so much money? Hey, I finally understand today."

Changsun Wuji was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground, not daring to say more.

Li Shimin was furious, and he stood up. He said coldly, "Don't rush to say anything!" Li Shimin interrupted what Changsun Wuji was about to say, and said, "It's just you and me now! You don't have to. Secretive! I ask you to answer, and if you don’t say something, it doesn’t mean I don’t know.”

"I obey the order!" Changsun Wuji's heart trembled.

"I want to know if what happened tonight was arranged by you!" Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji who was kneeling on the ground, with an inexplicable look in his eyes!

"Your Majesty is clearly aware! I have the guts to dare not assassinate Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji said in panic!

"So, what happened tonight has nothing to do with you?" Li Shimin was not too surprised, even if Changsun Wuji did it, Changsun Wuji would definitely not admit it!What's more, now Li Shimin doesn't have the slightest evidence in his hands, all conclusions are based on analysis, but he knows it well, and without evidence to support it, he can't convict Changsun Wuji.

"Your Majesty is aware!"

"Well, let's put this matter aside for the time being! Let me talk about something else! I know that you have had a lot of opinions on me over the years. I know that your intentions to support Gan'er are nothing more than waiting for Gan'er to succeed to the throne. , in the name of uncle and meritorious official, I can understand that your eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson's family's status and authority have been raised to a higher level when Qian'er was the emperor. Secondly, when Changle was not married, you kept talking in front of the queen , I hope to marry the Li family in the name of being close, and let me betroth Changle to Changsun Chong, so as to further consolidate your eldest grandson's status as the first family outside the Li family. I also understand what you have done. I am telling the truth Let me tell you, I really wanted to betroth Changle to Changsun Chong at first, but Changsun Chong is too worthless, he is not comparable to Qin Feng, his talent is second, but his character is too bad, knowing my decision , so I invited an assassin to assassinate Qin Feng. As a father, I certainly hope that my daughter will marry the most outstanding young talent and a heroic man. Of course I don’t want my daughter to marry a villain with a small belly and a vicious conspiracy. , Facts have proved that my decision is correct, Qin Feng is indeed a good match for Changle, but what has Changsun Chong done all these years? He expressed his thoughts at home, but in fact he went to the brothel Chu Pavilion under an alias, and lingered on romantic occasions, let alone You don't know. At the same time, you think that the eldest Sun Chong is useless, so you have the heart to give up. You no longer pay attention to the eldest son, and turn a blind eye to him. As a father, you don't think about saving your son, but only want to use him. How vicious is your heart for your own son to achieve his own goals?"

"Your eldest grandson Wuji is the only official of the Tang Dynasty. Without any real power, he has the titles of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Sikong, Situ, etc. But he has a false name and no real power. It is not worth saying that he has a false name. Exaggerated. I did this for the good of the Tang Dynasty, and also for the good of your eldest grandson's family. If you were given real power, who would guarantee that you would not do what Huo Guang did? If it really came to that point, it would definitely be the time for your eldest grandson's family to be destroyed. But not only do you not understand my painstaking efforts, but you have done more to become the most powerful minister in the Tang Dynasty. First of all, you know that the two people I rely on the most are the resourceful Fang Xuanling and the decisive Du Ruhui. The two of them are like right-hand men to me now, and whoever targets them is like cutting off my arms. But you know that Datang is booming, you know that I cannot live without them, and you know that Datang cannot do without them. You are deeply afraid I have noticed your intentions, so when you can't do it positively, you take a devious approach, start with Fang Yiai and Du He, and let Chang Sun Chong lead them to ruin, and push them step by step. Abyss, you let Chang Sun Chong conspire to frame Fang Yiai and Du He many times, and made the two of them who are already bad in nature become the most famous playboys in Chang'an. You made Fang and Du worry about the prodigal son while being entangled in state affairs. And angry. You almost succeeded, because Du Ruhui was so angry that Du He stole the emerald from the family to pawn it in exchange for gambling funds. He almost died of illness. If Qin Feng hadn't rescued him, I would have died a long time ago. arm, and your eldest grandson Wuji took over the position of Zuo Pushe as a matter of course."

"I really intend to downplay the influence of the family and relatives. This is a matter on the bright side. I don't need to cover it up! However, I also gave you the right to manage politics. At the same time, the queen has always been a Guanyin maidservant. The prince has always been your nephew, and with all these relationships, are you still afraid that your grandson's family will be ruined? I didn't give you real power, but I didn't neglect you, nor did I say that I would abandon you, because I know, Although you have selfish desires for power, you have no intention of destroying my Tang Dynasty! So I can tolerate you, but I cannot tolerate those traitors who harbor evil intentions!"

"How did Hou Junji get to where he is today? You know better than I do. You took advantage of Hou Junji's jealousy, and deliberately told Hou Junji about Qin Feng's marching route, letting him leak it to the Turks. , so that Qin Feng, the Yingjie who will threaten the status of your eldest grandson Wuji in the future, dies young, and at the same time, he can also get rid of Fang Yiai and Du He, and use the grief of a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to further blow Fang Du is the second prime minister."

"Your eldest grandson Wuji has disappointed me so much. You and Hou Junji are on the same road. You can sell everything you can sell for your own benefit. The interests of the Tang Dynasty have nothing to do with you. What you care about is always yourselves. You can treat Changsun Chong as a parent and son cruelly. Gan'er is just your nephew, so you sell it very at ease. As for the married daughter, the queen of water is even more so. Changsun Wuji, now you Already occupying an important position, as well as the position of Taifu, the queen is your younger sister, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the head of all officials. Now you are under one person and above ten thousand, what more do you want? Is it possible that if you want to learn from Lu Buwei of Qin, Wang Mang of Han, Dong Zhuo of Han, and Cao Cao of Han?"

Li Shimin's faint voice sounded in the silent side hall, without the slightest emotion, as if everything he said had nothing to do with him!
Only at the last sentence, "Is it possible to learn from Lu Buwei from Qin, Wang Mang from Han, Dong Zhuo from Han, and Cao Cao from Han", Li Shimin's voice finally had such a slight fluctuation, with a trace of coldness.

A lot of secrets were uncovered by Li Shimin without any concealment!
If there are other people nearby who hear Li Shimin's words, they will be frightened immediately and go crazy!After all, as long as any of the things Li Shimin said got out, the whole Tang Dynasty would immediately fall into chaos!

However, speaking from his mouth now, it gives people a feeling of "it should be like this"!
Changsun Wuji knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like garlic. At this moment, no matter what he said, it seemed inappropriate!In other words, Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say and what to say at the moment!
"Okay, you don't need to act like a child! Let me ask you, where are your Skynets? How many people are there?" Li Shimin changed his voice and asked calmly!
Sure enough, Li Shimin really knew the founder of Skynet!

Changsun Wuji's heart trembled!He was very fortunate, if he hadn't taken the initiative to stand up tonight, thinking about it, he would not be kneeling in this hall talking to the emperor, but would go directly into the prison to be with Hou Junji!

"Return to Your Majesty, I know about Skynet, but I'm not the mastermind behind Skynet." Changsun Wuji decided to deny it to the end.Because once he admits that he is the mastermind of Skynet, then the eldest grandson's family will be destroyed overnight, because everything Skynet does after it shows up is nothing but an act of rebellion.

"Until now, you still don't know how to repent?" Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and let out a cold snort!
"Your Majesty is clearly aware! The minister and Skynet have no intersection at all." Changsun Wuji said in a panic!Changsun Wuji is very aware of his current situation, so he simply refuses to admit it. In order to avoid Li Shimin from taking advantage of his words, he said everything flawlessly.

But he knew that no matter what he said, the end of Skynet and himself was already doomed!Now, Li Shimin just can't come up with valid evidence, and because of this
"Do you still have something to hide from me?" Li Shimin walked down the hall slowly and stood beside Changsun Wuji!

"I dare not!"

Li Shimin squatted down slowly, lowered his body and said: "Today, I believe you for the time being! But, if I find out that what happened tonight is related to you! Changsun Wuji, you are harming your entire Changsun clan. Even if the queen's surname is the eldest grandson, even if you made great achievements in the past, even if you are Gan'er's uncle, I will abolish her when I become the queen! Now, I will give you another chance. I will ask you again, tonight The matter! Does it have anything to do with you?

Did you use a leader named Li Yan in Skynet to instigate Hu Bugui to assassinate the queen in order to assassinate me? If you say it now, I will not hold anyone in your eldest grandson's family accountable except for your own crimes.I, return your love! "

If Li Shimin didn't know that Skynet was controlled by Changsun Wuji, if he didn't know that Li Yan's father was the son of one of Changsun Sheng's subordinates, he might really believe that what happened tonight had nothing to do with Changsun Wuji!
After all, what Hu Bugui knew didn't involve Changsun Wuji at all!

However, various analyzes and evidence directly prove that Skynet is in the hands of Changsun Wuji.Although Changsun Wuji categorically denied it, Changsun Wuji really couldn't just believe it!Every word in Li Shimin's words is like a sledgehammer, hitting hard in the bottom of Changsun Wuji's heart!

Changsun Wuji didn't know if Li Shimin had really grasped something, or was he just using words to deceive himself!

Obviously, the emperor's patience has reached its limit!The assassination tonight has really touched Li Shimin's back!Li Shimin will definitely investigate this matter to the end!
However, Changsun Wuji doesn't believe it now!

"Your Majesty is clearly aware!" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and sobbed!

"Huh!" Li Shimin stood up, strode up to the main hall, turned his back to Changsun Wuji and said: "You step back! This matter has been mentioned!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"When you leave this gate, you and I will only have the friendship of a monarch and a minister! There is no more love in the past! Changsun Wuji! Do you know?" When Changsun Wuji barely walked to the gate of the side hall , Li Shimin, who turned his back to him, suddenly said!

Li Shimin's words without any emotion echoed in the empty lobby!

Changsun Wuji, who was about to reach out to open the door, was shocked when he heard this!The palm that was stretched out to open the door suddenly stopped!

The silent hall!
Dim lights!
Li Shimin stood in the lobby with his back facing Changsun Wuji and his hands behind his back, and Changsun Wuji stood at the entrance of the lobby with his back facing Li Shimin!
The short distance of dozens of steps is between the monarch and his ministers, but it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers!
Hearing Li Shimin's last words, Changsun Wuji seemed to have aged ten years suddenly!

In addition, this time, Li Shimin has called him by his name many times in this short period of time tonight!
Changsun Wuji turned his body tremblingly, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, who had his hands behind his back.After a long time, he wept and said: "Return to Your Majesty, I will leave!"

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Shimin's body trembled slightly with his hands behind his back, and then he returned to normal! !
He still didn't admit it!

"Crench!"

Changsun Wuji pulled hard, and the heavy door of the side hall slowly opened with a tooth-softening sound!

Mercury-like bright moonlight flooded into the lobby in an instant!
