Chapter 118

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin for a while. Before Chen Qiao appeared, he used to boast that he was the person who knew Li Shimin best in the entire Tang Dynasty.But after Chen Qiao appeared, he found that he couldn't understand Li Shimin more and more.

"As far as I know, the King of Shu has visited your house several times, and my son knows it," Li Shimin smiled softly, "If you want to win over the current Situ, you will naturally prepare a generous gift."

Sighing slightly, Changsun Wuji thought that it seemed that Li Shimin was unwilling to give the King of Shu a way out this time.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Changsun Wuji took out a stack of papers from his bosom, on which many words were densely written, but the hall was not very bright so people couldn't see clearly.He personally delivered the stack of papers to Li Shimin's imperial gift case, and took a step back with his eyes slightly closed.

"Did Your Majesty never doubt Chen Qiao's intentions?"

After all, he was still unwilling, and before Li Shimin could take a closer look at the contents of the paper, Changsun Wuji asked aloud.

"The auxiliary machine really doesn't understand?" Li Shimin looked up at Changsun Wuji.

"As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I have countless people close to me, but looking at your eyes full of conspiracy and tricks, I am really terrified." Li Shimin laughed, "Before Chen Qiao appeared, I dared to give all my trust. There are only a few people here. Do you know the auxiliary machine? At that time, the country was still uncertain and the foreign enemies had not been eliminated, but there were already countless people who were eyeing this chair of mine."

"But Chen Qiao is different. Although he comes from a humble background and is rebellious, his eyes are always clear, and he has never shown the greed that I have seen countless times in the eyes of others."

"He cares about the people of the world. No matter where he fights, he never lets the Black Dragon Army harm the local people. He even pays for the most important food for an army so that the people can have enough food. So whether it was at the beginning The Turks, Western Turks, and Tubo are still the current Goryeo, Wa, and Dabolu. Even if Chen Qiao destroyed their court, the people did not have much resistance to my Tang Dynasty."

"This world! Wherever Chen Qiao goes, the common people will praise him, he is a hero in the world! If he plots against the law, even if he rises up, the history books of later generations will not say a bad word about him. But Chen Qiao is still the same. As before, nothing has changed.”

"If you don't want, you don't want."

Changsun Wuji murmured in a low voice.

"Chen Qiao once told me that he also has something to ask for, and what he wants is the peace of the world, the peace of the world, and the harmony of the people."

"The auxiliary machine now knows why I trust Chen Qiao the most in the entire court?"

"The minister is narrow-minded, really stupid!"

Changsun Wuji immediately knelt down to plead guilty, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally convinced Chen Qiao.

Seeing that Changsun Wuji had really figured it out, Li Shimin didn't say anything more.

After Changsun Wuji left Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin took a quick look at the stack of papers and took them to the prison to meet Chen Qiao.

"The auxiliary machine handed over all the main dramas to me."

Walking into the cell, Li Shimin put the paper in his hand on the low table in front of Chen Qiao. Chen Qiao glanced at Li Shimin, took the stack of papers in his hand, and looked at it carefully.

"I didn't expect that the King of Shu would win over Chen Guogong and Hejian King."

Chen Qiao put down the stack of papers and let out a long sigh.

But Li Shimin sneered, "If it wasn't for Hou Junji and Li Xiaogong's instigation, even if he gave the King of Shu ten more courage, he wouldn't dare to win over Changsun Wuji."

"The list is now available, so we can close the net tomorrow."

Chen Qiao said, sitting in the same place and stretching, "I thought I had to stay for a few more days, but I didn't expect that the grandson Situ would do us such a big favor."

"I didn't expect that this time not only will you be able to take down the henchmen of the King of Shu, but also take advantage of the opportunity to make the auxiliary machine untie your knot."

It seems that after they capture the King of Shu and his henchmen tomorrow, there will be no intentional opposition to Chen Qiao in the entire court.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Chen Qiao nodded in response.

Afterwards, Li Shimin left the dungeon.

Early the next morning, in the Hall of Liangyi.

"Your Majesty! Chen Qiao has been brought here!"

Amidst the noisy discussion, everyone's eyes in the court hall fell on the man who was still standing in the sunlight outside the palace gate.

He was upright and upright, and his white clothes were not stained by any dirt in the prison.But only the expression was very joking, as if these people separated from him were just jokes in his eyes.

"Bold Chen Qiao! Kneel down and confess!"

An old man with a white beard jumped out first, but he never dared to look at Chen Qiao, and only pretended to be heartbroken.

"Bold?"

Today's Chen Qiao has changed from yesterday's silence. Although he was escorted, he still looks arrogant.

"You jumped out before His Majesty even opened your mouth, it's just presumptuous!"

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Chen Qiao's mouth, and he stared straight at the old man with white beard.

The white-bearded old man's face turned crimson like his official uniform, which was really a bit of an eyesore.

"Chen Qiao! You are a mere criminal! How can you speak wild words in the hall!"

Another middle-aged man jumped out, the official uniform on him was taller than that old man just now.However, Chen Qiao didn't pay much attention to this person. He stood lazily in the hall, and wanted to stretch himself, but found that his hands were still tied tightly, so he just yawned.

"When did I speak such wild words?" Chen Qiao looked at the middle-aged man with a blank and ignorant expression, his expression was extremely sincere.

"That's just now! Doctor Yu just asked you to confess! But you are aggressive with your words! It's really rebellious!"

Chen Qiao sneered, "I didn't say a word yesterday, but I gave you enough face for these trash. Let me ask you, did I plead guilty yesterday?"

The man was taken aback, and blurted out: "That's not true, but..."

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Qiao, "Since I didn't plead guilty yesterday, why did I plead guilty today?" Chen Qiao looked at the man with the expression that you are talking crazy.

"You have always disobeyed the law, disregarded ethics, and disregarded etiquette! All the crimes are well-founded, and it is His Majesty's golden words to decide that you are guilty of a serious crime. It will be your turn to mess around!"

Seeing that the person in the purple court dress couldn't say anything to Chen Qiao, another young man in green court dress came out and said to Chen Qiao heartbroken.

"Now it's really Huluo Pingyang being bullied by dogs, and you, a little sixth-rank Chao Yilang, dare to speak out here?" Chen Qiao smiled sarcastically, and then said to Qin Qiong who was standing aside: "Second Brother Qin , Help me scratch my back, it's really itchy."

Qin Qiong was taken aback for a moment. She didn't expect Chen Qiao to be in the mood to joke at this time, but she honestly stepped up to Chen Qiao's back and helped him grab his back.

The young man had never seen someone as defiant as Chen Qiao, and he thought he had said some righteous words, but he didn't think that the other party didn't take him seriously, let alone listen to him.

"You you you!" The young man hesitated for a moment, not knowing what else to say.

Just when everyone was arguing with Chen Qiao, Changsun Wuji was hidden in the crowd, squinting his eyes and looking at the young man he seemed to never understand.Ever since he changed his view of Chen Qiao, Changsun Wuji really felt that Chen Qiao was a bit interesting at the moment.

"My lord grandson! You see this guy is so rampant! What should we do?"

An official with a mustache approached Changsun Wuji, glanced at Li Shimin on the dragon chair while speaking, but couldn't tell Li Shimin's mood, so he had to ask Changsun Wuji in a low voice with fear.

"No matter how he speaks like a lotus flower, his crime is already confirmed. Can he still get away with it? Just one thing of contempt for the imperial power is enough to put him to death."

Before Changsun Wuji could speak, a white-faced man standing beside him spoke.

"Your Majesty, I really can't understand His Majesty's thoughts!"

The white-faced man known as the prince smiled strangely, and said: "Since ancient times, emperors have been tabooed most by courtiers who have made great achievements. As long as we plant a seed in your majesty's heart, you still have no one to water the seed." ?"
