Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Only then did Fu Yi stand up.
Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li and instructed, "Summon Duke of Qin to enter the hall."
Xiao Li immediately issued the decree. As the order was issued, it was transmitted outside the main hall in a short while. Following Li Shimin's entrance, he knelt on one knee and kowtowed, saying, "This son pays respect to Imperial Father!"
Li Yuan said, "Get up!"
But Li Shimin did not stand up. He said seriously, "Imperial Father, the reason why this son entered the palace is that I have something important to report. This matter is of great importance. Imperial Father, please dismiss your attendants. "
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "All withdraw!"
Xiao Li, Fu Yi, and the rest all left.
Li Yuan stared at Li Shimin and suddenly said, "Before you report the news, We have a memorial here. You can take a look." As he spoke, Li Yuan threw Fu Yi's memorial directly in front of Li Shimin and said, "Take a look!"
Li Shimin picked it up and quickly browsed through it. When Li Shimin finished reading, his expression revealed a look of surprise.
Fu Yi actually judged that he was the ruler of the world through the stars.
This surprised Li Shimin.
Li Yuan had been paying attention to the changes in Li Shimin's expression all along. Seeing Li Shimin's expression like this, he judged in his heart that Li Shimin probably really did not know about Fu Yi's matter. Otherwise, he would not be so surprised.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, but felt that although Fu Yi submitting a memorial at this time was a good thing for him, it was also a bad thing. Because Li Yuan was the emperor. Once Li Yuan was unhappy in his heart, Fu Yi's memorial would become a bad thing.
Of course, overall, it was a good thing.
Because of Fu Yi's memorial, it gave him more reason to rule the world.
The heavens showed that he should rule the world.
He naturally should be the emperor.
This kind of situation was what Li Shimin was happy about.
Li Shimin's thoughts turned sharply, and he suddenly said, "Imperial Father, Fu Yi's letter was definitely done by the Eastern Palace. The Eastern Palace instructed Fu Yi to frame this son. Imperial Father, please investigate clearly. "
Li Yuan flicked his sleeves and said, "This matter was done by Fu Yi. It has nothing to do with the Eastern Palace. You don't need to care about anything. Now, talk about the matter of you entering the palace. "
Li Shimin immediately said, "Erchen entered the Palace because Erchen received a piece of news, the Crown Prince and Qi Wang committed adultery in the Palace, with Zhang Jieyu and Yin De Fei. Fu Huang, please investigate clearly."
Li Yuan immediately opened his eyes wide, his face full of incredulity.
The Crown Prince committed adultery in the palace?
How was this possible?
Such a thing, Li Yuan's first reaction was disbelief. But Li Yuan was shocked and stopped to think carefully. He thought about how Yin De and Zhang Jieyu usually praised the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. They always said that only when the Crown Prince inherited the great cause, they would not be alone and without anyone to rely on.
When he thought of these things, Li Yuan's heart felt somewhat stifled, and even more so, somewhat uncomfortable.
He was very unhappy.
Li Yuan said, "Since you knew about this matter, why didn't you report it earlier?"
Li Shimin said, "Father Emperor, if it weren't for me being forced into a desperate situation, I wouldn't have said this news. After all, this kind of news will affect the reputation of the royal family. "
"Right now, the Crown Prince and King Qi want nothing more than to get rid of me. Your son asks himself, and has never done anything to let down the Crown Prince or the Prince of Qi. However, they have always wanted to kill your son. "
"Since they're acting like this, I have no choice but to retaliate. Father, please understand."
Li Shimin told him the news.
In his heart, he was actually somewhat nervous. Because whether or not the plan could succeed would depend on Li Yuan's next disposition.
Li Yuan's mind was still somewhat muddled.
The reason was very simple. He was still very unhappy about the matter of him being cuckolded.
After Li Yuan pondered for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Shimin, you withdraw first. Allow me to investigate this matter first. Tomorrow morning, I will summon the Crown Prince to enter the palace for a confrontation and ask him clearly. At that time, the truth will naturally come to light. "
Li Shimin said, "Your son will withdraw."
He was very clear that Li Yuan could not immediately call Li Jiancheng over for a confrontation. Li Yuan needed to investigate.
This period of time was to give the Eastern Palace time to operate.
After Li Shimin withdrew, Li Yuan's face was still heavy like water. He did not go to the harem for the time being. Instead, he sat alone for a long time before going to the harem. He went straight to Zhang Jieyu's palace.
Originally, Li Yuan was prepared to question Zhang Jieyu. However, in the end, the words that were at the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. He did not mention the matter of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji committing adultery in the palace.
Li Yuan came abruptly and left abruptly.
After Li Yuan left, Zhang Jieyu received news from a palace servant and knew that Li Shimin entered the palace to report.
At this moment, Zhang Jieyu's heart turned cold.
This news was too frightening.
She never thought that the matter of her and the Crown Prince secretly having fun would actually be discovered. Zhang Jieyu's heart was extremely perturbed. Therefore, Zhang Jieyu immediately called over the palace maid beside her and arranged for her confidant to leave the palace to pass the news to Li Jiancheng.
This news was transmitted to the Eastern Palace.
When Li Jiancheng received the news, his heart also thumped and he jumped in fright. It was truly because this news was too frightening. Therefore, Li Jiancheng hurriedly arranged for people to call Li Yuanji over.
After Li Yuanji arrived, he had a dissatisfied look. He said in a deep voice, "Big Brother, you called me over in a hurry. Is there something important? You have to know that I'm busy having fun in the residence right now. It's the happiest time. "
Li Jiancheng snorted and berated, "Happy? What's there to be happy about? The matter of you, me, Zhang Jieyu, and Consort Yin De was actually found out by the Duke of Qin. He went to see Imperial Father Chen today and presented this matter in person."
Li Yuanji asked, "What?"
His face was filled with astonishment and a trace of panic.
Li Jiancheng continued, "Thank goodness Zhang Jieyu knew about this and told us in advance. When Imperial Father heard the news, he didn't immediately decide how to deal with it. Instead, he told the Duke of Qin that he would be confronted in the palace tomorrow morning. When the time comes, the Duke of Qin and all of us will have to go to the palace. "
Li Yuanji was very nervous when he heard this.
Li Yuanji never thought that the matter of his debauchery in the palace would be discovered.
Li Yuanji asked, "How should we deal with this matter?"
Before Li Jiancheng could speak, Li Yuanji quickly said, "The best way to deal with this matter is to rely on ourselves. Big Brother, in my opinion, we should summon the guards of the Eastern Palace and mobilize the people in the palace to prepare early. Otherwise, we'll be fish on the chopping block. If Imperial Father really wants to punish us, we won't be able to escape. This matter is very dangerous. "
"No, no!"
Li Jiancheng shook his head in response.
He appeared very calm and offered a different opinion. "I think there's no need to rush to gather the troops."
Li Yuanji asked, "Why?"
Li Jiancheng said, "If Imperial Father wanted to punish us in his rage, he would've given the order today. The reason he hasn't given the order today is because he has his own concerns. Therefore, there's no need for us to be anxious. "
Li Yuanji said, "It's better to be safe than sorry."
Li Jiancheng said, "Moreover, the Black Tortoise army is under our control, especially Chang He in the palace. He can coordinate with us at any time. We don't have to worry about this at all. "
Only then did Li Yuanji relax a little and said, "That's true."
Li Jiancheng said, "The most important thing right now is to go see Imperial Father tomorrow morning and see what he has to say before deciding whether or not to act. If Imperial Father is on our side to smooth things over, then we don't have to care. If Imperial Father wants to punish us, then we have to act. "
Li Yuanji said, "That's true."
After the two brothers reached a consensus, they didn't say anything else. They even fell silent.
