Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji asked at the same time, "What is it?"
"Kill him!"
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth.
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji raised their eyebrows and looked surprised.
They immediately understood what was going on.
They were going to kill Wang Zongzhou.
Wei Zheng's eyes were sharp. He said, "Wang Zongzhou was responsible for the assassination of Du Qi. Wang Zongzhou was the one who told us all the evidence. "
"As long as Wang Zongzhou died in the Chang 'an County Government, all the clues would be cut off."
"At this time, His Majesty will question Your Highness the Crown Prince and King Qi. Even if the dossier submitted by the Ministry of Justice is unfavorable to Your Highness the Crown Prince and King Qi, the two of you only need to flatly deny it and refuse to admit it."
"Just say that Wang Zongzhou framed you and wanted to drag you down. As long as you don't admit it, His Majesty won't be able to do anything. "
Wei Zheng said, "The most important thing is that Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the country, which affects the stability of the imperial court. Even if His Majesty is angry, it will be over in the end. "
Li Yuanji shook his head hurriedly and said, "It's useless. Du Qi, this person, was incomparably cunning and crafty. Especially Du Chuke, who is Du Qi's uncle. "
"At this critical time, how can Du Chuke not be on guard? Maybe he is waiting for our people to walk into the trap."
"Moreover, the current Chang 'an County Government is not like when Du Chuke just took office. Because of Xie Zhizhou's arrangement, our people are everywhere in the Government and we can make arrangements at will. Du Chuke's bold and decisive reforms have removed people from their positions. Now, there are no our people at all. "
"It's not easy to reach into the Chang 'an County Government and kill Wang Zongzhou."
"Even if we send someone to see Wang Zongzhou and ask him to take poison and commit suicide, Wang Zongzhou will not agree. We can't threaten Wang Zongzhou. Even if Wang Zongzhou knows that he is going to die, he will definitely drag more people down with him. "
Li Yuanji said, "It's impossible to kill him. It's also impossible to ask Wang Zongzhou to commit suicide."
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Xuancheng, your analysis is reasonable. It's impossible to kill Wang Zongzhou. Even meeting Wang Zongzhou would be extremely difficult. "
Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Then we can only refuse to admit our guilt. Just say that someone is framing the Qi Manor and framing the Crown Prince. As long as we insist that Wang Zongzhou is the one who deliberately made false accusations, everything else is just shameless. "
"No, no!"
Li Jiancheng still shook his head.
Li Yuanji said, "Although Imperial Father's nature isn't overbearing, he's still very strong. However, if he really went against his father, especially when it involved Du Qi, Du Qi was like his father's heart now. He was closer to his father than his own grandson. When it comes to Du Qi, if Big Brother and I refuse to admit our guilt, I'm afraid that Imperial Father's punishment will be even more severe. "
Wei Zheng sighed, "Since that's the case, I can only plead guilty. Once in the Grand Hall, if His Imperial Majesty interrogates you, Your Imperial Highness, the Crown Prince, and His Imperial Highness, the Prince of Qi, should immediately plead guilty, weeping that they know they were wrong. Using emotions to salvage the situation. "
Wei Zheng was mentally exhausted.
He was truly helpless to have such a worrisome Crown Prince. As the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng clearly had too many advantages. However, Li Jiancheng just couldn't get over Du Qi.
It was like a heart demon.
It was hard to endure.
After Li Jiancheng heard Wei Zheng's words, he thought carefully and said, "Xuancheng's final suggestion is good. We can only move him emotionally. Let's enter the palace and take a look at the situation first. If Imperial Father is angry, we will plead guilty and cry to move Imperial Father. "
"Alright!"
Li Yuanji also nodded in agreement.
After the two reached an agreement, they left the Eastern Palace together and headed for the Imperial City.
The Eastern Palace was not far from the Imperial City. The two entered the Sweet Dew Hall together. When they saw the Minister of Justice standing to the side, they retracted their gazes and bowed respectfully to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with an icy gaze and said, "We arranged for people to pass on the decree. There is a certain distance between the Qi Manor and the Eastern Palace. Unexpectedly, you two came together. It looks like you've already discussed countermeasures and unified your statements! "
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji exchanged glances, their hearts thumping.
The situation was not good!
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said, "Imperial Father, This Son and Fourth Brother only met when we entered the palace. This Son was in the palace earlier and had some matters, so I was slightly delayed for a while. "
Li Yuan said, "Crown Prince, you disappoint us too much."
When Li Jiancheng heard that, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Imperial Father, This Son does not know what I did wrong. Please enlighten me. This Son is willing to turn over a new leaf. "
Li Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Boss, you really know how to feign ignorance! We originally never thought that you were so scheming. Looking at it now, this Son has grown up, his wings have hardened, and his schemes have also deepened. "
When Li Jiancheng heard these words, he felt even more nervous in his heart and said, "Imperial Father, This Son is terrified!"
Li Yuan said, "What do you have to be terrified of? You colluded with the Wang Clan of Taiyuan and took the initiative to arrange for Scarlet Wolf's people for Wang Zongzhou, letting the Wang Clan's Scarlet Wolf infiltrate Chang 'an. You did a pretty good job as the Crown Prince! "
When Li Jiancheng heard that, it was indeed this matter.
Before Li Jiancheng opened his mouth to speak, Li Yuan said again, "What are you afraid of? You are the Crown Prince of the Tang dynasty. You can do whatever you want. What is there to be afraid of?"
After a pause, Li Yuan continued, "The aristocratic families have always been the stumbling blocks that affect the stability of the Tang dynasty. You, this Crown Prince, are very capable, to actually mix together with the aristocratic families, willing to be the villain's accomplice, willing to be driven by them. Not bad, really not bad! "
The mocking words, Li Jiancheng was somewhat stunned.
It was his first time encountering such a situation. Li Yuan spoke to him in such an ambiguous manner, causing him to be incomparably uncomfortable for a moment.
Li Jiancheng lifted his robe and knelt down, kowtowing with his head on the ground. He knew that it was impossible to deny, so he said directly, "Imperial Father, This Son knows his mistake. This Son did participate. But This Son just does not understand why This Son is Imperial Father's son, and Du Qi is just an outsider. Why is Imperial Father favoring Du Qi again and again, favoring Du Qi? Why is Imperial Father so biased? This Son is your son! "
Speaking to here, Li Jiancheng raised his head, two lines of clear tears falling down, staring at Li Yuan like this.
His expression was very sorrowful.
These words were half-true and half-false. It was Li Jiancheng's strategy of moving emotions according to Wei Zheng's suggestion.
After all, he was Li Yuan's son. When it came to Du Qi, there was indeed resentment in Li Jiancheng's heart, so when these words were spoken, they were half-true and half-false.
It was hard to tell whether it was true or false.
Li Yuan was originally aggressive and wanted to denounce him, but after he heard Li Jiancheng's words and saw Li Jiancheng's crying appearance, he immediately fell silent. His brows furrowed, the expression on his old face was slightly complicated.
He had high hopes for Li Jiancheng.
Because Li Jiancheng was the Crown Prince.
When Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, these two brothers, were fighting, Li Yuan had always stood on Li Jiancheng's side, helping Li Jiancheng to gain a foothold. Including this time's expedition to suppress Liu Heita, this was an opportunity to render meritorious service. Li Yuan also let Li Jiancheng lead the troops to go, in order to let Li Jiancheng establish prestige.
Unfortunately, Li Jiancheng lacked breadth of mind, structure, and even more, a view of the overall situation, making Li Yuan quite disappointed.
Li Yuan said, "Crown Prince, you keep on questioning Zhen, Zhen wants to ask you a question. From beginning to end, did Du Qi take the initiative to target you, did he take the initiative to deal with your Eastern Palace? Or rather, does Du Qi have the guts and ability to deal with your Eastern Palace? "
Li Jiancheng was immediately at a loss for words.
It seemed that he really had been biting Du Qi and not letting go, but Du Qi could counterattack every time.
