Perhaps, it will be criticized by later generations as a foolish king?
Endure, must endure.
A small leak will sink a great ship.
Therefore, Li Shimin has been patient in his heart.
Even if he knew that Changsun Shunde was the mastermind behind Xuanwuzong, but without sufficient evidence, he still had no reason to argue with Changsun Wuji.
What's more, Changsun Wuyi ten years ago, was Datang's well-known genius for refuting ghosts. In terms of eloquence, he might really lose to him.
Therefore, Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "Eldest Sun Wuyi, if you have anything to say now, just say it directly!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The eldest grandson Wuyi bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, and said: "Your majesty, my minister is now thinking, can you call the suzerain of the Xuanwu sect and ask him to be a witness to prove whether the patriarch Sun Shunde is Xuanwu or not?" Zong's behind-the-scenes instigator? Clan uncle Sun Shunde, did you ever order someone to frame the emperor, and clan uncle Sun Shunde, does he have the heart to disobey the emperor?"
Speaking of this, Changsun Wuyi still had a faint confident smile on his face.
Because when he came to the palace, he had already done a thorough investigation into the fact that Xuanwuzong was exterminated by the royal family.
That is to say, in fact, Changsun Wuyi already knew that the suzerain of Xuanwu Sect died, and most of the high-level people in Xuanwu Sect died. Some of the remaining young men who surrendered were also dispatched to the frontier to serve in the army.
That's why Changsun Wuyi dared to say these words so boldly.
In addition, when he said this, he didn't really want to hate Li Shimin, but deliberately acted as a weak person to show the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and won their sympathy by the way.
Let them feel that the eldest grandson Shunde was really wronged.
Then, Changsun Wuyi's plan will probably succeed.
For the rest, he only needs to use the name of the eldest grandson's family and the Tang Dynasty to mobilize their family's deeds for the country and the people, and infect the emotions of the ministers and Li Shimin, then the emperor may release the eldest grandson Shunde .
Therefore, as long as the eldest grandson Shunde is not killed, then everything is easy to say, and their eldest grandson family will not be charged with treason because of this!
Li Shimin sighed, and said: "Although, your question is very good! However, the suzerain of Xuanwu Sect has been killed by my eighth prince! Including Lin An, the hall master of Tiger Hall, and other hall masters. , They were all killed by the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty! In addition, some Xuanwuzong people who surrendered have been dispatched to the frontier to serve in the military. Besides, they are just some small soldiers in the Xuanwuzong. They only know that their suzerain is Sun Wucheng, but they don’t know that the mastermind of Xuanwuzong is Sun Shunde, the eldest son of Pi Guogong!"
"So now, Sun Wucheng, who can best prove that Sun Shunde, the Duke of Pi, is the man behind Xuanwuzong, is dead! And the Eighth Prince and Prime Minister Wei Zheng are just hearsay. How can it be concluded that the eldest grandson of Duke Pi is Shunde, do you have the heart to plot rebellion? Please think twice, please think twice!"
The eldest grandson Wuyi has been pleading for the eldest grandson Shunde, Li Shimin was speechless for a while.
However, at this moment, Wei Zheng stood up and said, "My Majesty, the old minister can testify that the mastermind behind Xuanwuzong is Sun Shunde, Duke of the Pi Kingdom!"
"Okay, then Prime Minister Wei Zheng, please stand up and tell everyone!"
Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately Wei Zheng picked it up for him, otherwise he would really be no match for Changsun Wuyi in terms of refutation.
Although Wei Zheng was also a little afraid of Changsun Wuyi's eloquence, regarding the issue of royal dignity, Wei Zheng felt that at this time, he had to stand up and speak to the emperor.
I saw Wei Zheng clasped his fists and said: "Qizuo Emperor, Lin An, the master of the Tiger Hall of Xuanwuzong, was drinking with the Eighth Prince, and after the Eighth Prince got Lin An and the others drunk, he uttered a sentence Lin An once said: Every year, they will give Changsun Shunde thousands of gold and tens of thousands of taels of money, so that Changsun Shunde can protect their Xuanwuzong and work for the people! Hearing, if there is a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning!"
Wei Zheng's righteous words.
But Changsun Wuyi knew that his real opponent was coming.
As long as he beat Wei Zheng down, the rest will be easy.
The eldest grandson Wuyi smiled slightly and said, "Prime Minister Wei Zheng, you heard this from Lin An, the head of the Tiger Hall? But before you said this, you said that the Eighth Prince alone can read all the people in the Tiger Hall." Got drunk? There are a lot of doubts in this!"
"First, the eighth prince is just a six-year-old boy. What kind of identity is he? Did he enter Xuanwuzong and the head of the Tiger Hall to drink? Don't forget, Lin An doesn't even know you are the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng. Maybe you will know the Eighth Prince?"
"Secondly, as we all know, people in Jianghu have a top-notch alcohol capacity. How did the six-year-old eighth prince get the people in Tiger Hall drunk?"
"Third, who knows, is Lin An the informant Wei Zheng you arranged in advance? Did you deliberately use this to blame Sun Shunde, the Duke of Piguo? Now that Lin An is dead and Sun Wucheng is dead, anyone who knows the truth should just Only you, Prime Minister Wei Zheng..."
"What? You... you spout blood... Changsun Wuyi, don't talk nonsense here!"
After Changsun Wuyi finished speaking, Wei Zheng became furious in an instant.
He is such a big pot, he shakes it well.
Actually dumped the contradiction directly on Wei Zheng?
Because Changsun Wuyi knew that he couldn't blame the eighth prince, because the eighth prince was a member of the royal family, so he had to throw all the blame on Wei Zheng.
After Wei Zheng heard it, he was naturally angry and bloody, his face flushed immediately, and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.
Just listen to Changsun Wuyi continuing: "Your Majesty, if it is said that all of this is a plot by Prime Minister Wei Zheng to kill someone with a borrowed knife, then how can it be counted? All the truth has not been found out, how can we draw conclusions?" , Sun Shunde, Duke of the Pi Kingdom, is Xuanwuzong's mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Bastard You bastard! You **** grandson Wuyi, you, you dare to slander this old man? You slander this old man to kill someone with a knife? You, you... poof..."
Wei Zheng shouted.
As a result, a mouthful of old blood spewed out from the elder grandson's Wuyi Qi and blood.
Li Shimin couldn't help covering his eyes helplessly, and all the ministers sighed and shook their heads again and again.
What happened ten years ago, happened again?
Prime Minister Wei Zheng vomited blood again when he was given by Changsun Wuyi?
However, what Changsun Wuyi said made sense.
After all, no one knows the truth. Who knows, is the little tiger Lin An an informant under Wei Zheng's subordinates?
For a while, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty began to doubt.
But Wei Zheng knelt down towards Li Shimin tremblingly, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no second thoughts towards you and Tang Dynasty. Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"
