Li Shimin's very plain question caused a stir in the hall.

The court has been arguing and fighting over the past few days. In fact, this is the sentence that is arguing, and it is the truth that everyone cares about.

Yes, has the future crown prince of the Tang Dynasty ever done evil things that would bring revenge and involve him? If he really did, then today's court would inevitably cause a storm. The prestige of the prince who had finally established over the past eleven years was lost all its prestige. The court officials would not allow a narrow-minded prince who did not distinguish right from wrong to become the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty.

The crown prince is the foundation of the country and the future country. The prince's character also determines the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of the next generation of emperors. Therefore, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty must have good character, which may be inferior to the achievements his father made in his life, but he must have a broad and tolerant mind to protect his father's achievements. All of this must be based on the premise of "all character is excellent". If it cannot be done, the court officials do not mind changing individuals to be the crown prince.

Thanks to Li Shimin's strong reproductive ability and gave birth to fourteen sons, the court officials had the confidence to consider whether to change the prince. If time goes by a thousand years later, there was an emperor of the Ming Dynasty who only married one wife and only gave birth to one son in his life. The only son was so stupid and licentious that the ministers had to knock down their teeth and blood and swallowed them in their stomachs. There was no way, a single seedling in a thousand acres of land, and they could not find a substitute even if they wanted to replace them. That period of time was a dark history with no choice in the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, when Li Shimin asked this, the court officials' hearts suddenly hanged. Everyone looked up at Li Shimin, but Li Shimin's expression was very calm, and there was no clue on his face.

Zhang Xingcheng's expression was also calm, and he said meticulously with a serious face: "I sent a servant to secretly investigate. The rumors about the Crown Prince in Chang'an started on October 23, 11th of Zhenguan. It was spread from the mouths of several idle men in the east city. The leader was named Wu Bajin. He said that he had a familiar servant in the Ministry of Justice, which was a news from the official office of the Ministry of Justice. I visited the Ministry of Justice again. I found that there was no one who was familiar servant in Wu Bajin, and when I wanted to lock up Wu Bajin for interrogation, I found that Wu Bajin, who spread rumors, had all escaped from the city and disappeared. Therefore, I thought that the so-called "the prince's conspiracy and entanglement of Jingyang County was a malicious rumor among the people, and it was not worthy of trust..."

These words were a little vague, at least the evidence was no longer so direct, which attracted many court officials from the Wei King camp in the court to look at him in dissatisfaction.

Zhang Xingcheng calmly faced various eyes. He paused and then said, "I am ordered to thoroughly investigate the officials in charge of the Feng family's murder case. After a sudden trial, Yang Xuanle, the right doctor of the Ministry of Justice, confessed that he had led to the entrustment of Jingyang County. Just because the widow of the miserable leader of the Feng family secretly gave Yang Xuanle 10,000 yuan bribes to Yang Xuanle. Yang Xuanle was so stupid that he decided to frame the Jingyang County. I have Yang Xuanle's confession and asked His Majesty to read it."

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Li Shimin smiled slightly and waved, "Submit it."

The eunuch trotted and held the confession in front of Li Shimin in both hands.

Wei Zheng, the Minister of the Shangshu, raised his eyebrows and interrupted after leaving the squad, "Civil Secretary Zhang, I want to ask, it is not the prince who killed someone to blame him. The head of the Feng family did not commit suicide. Who killed the Feng family?"

Zhang Xingcheng said: "This is a case in the case. Feng Gui, the only son of Feng family, died, and the Feng family has no descendants. Feng Anfu, the head of Feng family, is old and unable to have children. The wife of the main wife died ten years ago and has not yet reunited. Feng Wu, a concubine of Feng Wu, secretly became evil. She joined her distant relative Wu Si, and hanged her to death, forged the scene of the hang and suicide note. She intends to swallow Feng's property, but the minister has already made it clear. Here is a confession of Feng Wu and Wu Si."

Zhang Xingcheng said without changing his face: "Zongchen said that the murder case of Feng's family was basically revealed. The reason was that Zheng Xiaolou avenged the Feng family maid who had never known each other and abused Feng Gui that night. Later, Feng's concubines and clan brothers set up a murder plan to swallow up the property. After hanging the head of the Feng family to forge the scene and suicide note, he also bribed 10,000 yuan to Yang Xuanle, the doctor of the Right Department of the Ministry of Justice, with the intention of attracting innocent people and confusing the government's attention. As for rumors about the prince's private revenge, it was a malicious slander for those who were interested. There was no evidence to investigate and he would not win the trust."

It is reasonable and well-founded, and the court officials in the palace cannot refute it and are silent.

Li Su's face was exactly the same, but her ears were like someone buzzing a bronze bell.

Looking at Li Shimin sitting upright in front of the hall, Li Suquan understood at this moment.

What Niu Jinda said before the court meeting echoed in his mind. Yes, the prince cannot be shaken by anyone. Unless Li Shimin has the intention to depose the crown prince, even if the evidence is conclusive, the court can still turn black into white and talk nonsense.

The truth of the case is no longer important, and it is even less important who wrongly accuses who is innocent. The result found by Zhang Xingcheng is the result that Li Shimin needs, or in other words, this result is simply Li Shimin's instruction.

Li Shimin needs a stable and unchanging political situation, a filial and polite prince and open-minded prince, so the prince is innocent. No matter how much real evidence is placed in front of Li Shimin, if he doesn't want it, the evidence is not evidence.

When the whole palace was silent, Li Su suddenly laughed.

The prince was innocent, and the Jingyang County was innocent. The case was revealed, and everyone was innocent, except for the unlucky Yousi's doctor and the Feng family's concubine became sinners.

Li Su's smile was very eye-catching among the solemn court officials in the palace. Although he was far away, Li Shimin still saw Li Su's smile at first sight.

Li Shimin suddenly spoke: "Where is Jingyang County?"

Li Su bowed out of the class and said, "I am here."

"The Feng family murder case has something to do with you. Now the truth is revealed, proving that you are innocent and has nothing to do with the Feng family hanged to death. What do you have to say?"

Li Su thought for a while and said, "Apart from thanking the emperor for his kindness and the heavens, I have nothing to say."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a smile and said, "You obviously have something to say, why don't you dare to say it? Is this a foolish monarch who was punished for his words? If this is true, Wei Zheng has been killed by me many times, but now he is still standing in the court."

After saying that, Li Shimin laughed twice.

The emperor laughed, but the ministers dared not not to laugh, so there was a lot of laughter in the hall, and even the serious Wei Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth, which was considered to be a face.

"Li Su, you rarely have the last time you went to the court. You can say something but say nothing. I will never be punished for my words. You will know the mind of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty after today."

Facing many different gazes, Li Su pursed her lips and made up her mind, saying, "Since Your Majesty has a fate, I will speak out boldly."

"Tell me."

Li Su stood up straight, looked at Li Shimin calmly, and said slowly: "Everything that the Feng family murder case that the Censor Zhang investigated was just reasonable and well-founded. I am convinced and have no objection. The Feng family murder case was concluded from this. I believe that the ministers in the court have no dispute. However, I am very troublesome and I would like to ask Your Majesty and all the court officials that the murder case of the Feng family father and son has been settled and the murderer has been imprisoned. Is this case really settled? Your Majesty, the origin of the murder case, why did none of the court officials in the palace mention her? "
