Niu Jinda entered the palace and pleaded for Li Su, and the time to choose was really inappropriate.

Of course, Li Shimin's anger was also seriously beyond Niu Jinda's estimate. In the past, every time Li Su caused trouble, Li Shimin was angry for a while at most and threw Li Su into Dali Temple for a few days. Once he was angry, he had to release him. The world continued to be beautiful, human beings continued to be peaceful, and the little bastard continued to be full of the cuteness of uncles and uncles in the world.

However, this time, Niu Jinda did not expect Li Shimin to be so angry.

Just looking at the appearance, Li Su was just a marriage that was ruined. The difference is that this marriage has risen to the height of the country, and Li Shimin has cut Li Su's heart alive. Therefore, Niu Jinda's pleading in the palace was destined to be disappointed. Li Shimin didn't even have a good face. This was a blessing for Niu Jinda's loyalty. Li Shimin was angry and inconvenient to speak to this honest man. If Cheng Yaojin had changed to pleading, Li Shimin's reaction would probably be to throw Cheng Yaojin into the cell and let him calm down.

After coming out of Tai Chi Palace, Niu Jinda's heart was cold.

He realized that Li Su was in trouble this time.

Standing in the square outside the palace gate, Niu Jinda was worried. I wondered how long he had stood, Niu Jinda stepped on his horse and hurriedly ran towards Li Ji's mansion.

…………

Li Su was imprisoned, which touched the hearts of many people.

Some people in the court watched the fun in a cold manner, some people were gloating secretly, and some people were so anxious that they were in a state of urgency.

On the third day of Li Su's imprisonment, Wu entered Dongyang Taoist Temple and reported Li Su's troubles to Dongyang.

Dongyang was frightened. It can be said that this was caused by her. Li Su decided to help Princess Wencheng destroy the marriage. Although it was Li Su's self-salvation, it was somewhat mixed with her reasons. Li Su was always like this. He was unforgivable in his mouth, but he cared about the sorrows and joys of his women in his heart.

After Wu reported, he had just left the Taoist temple and got up at the back of the Dongyang dynasty and drove out the princess's ceremonial war toward Chang'an City.

After entering the Tai Chi Palace, Dongyang knelt in front of Li Shimin and cried and begged for mercy. However, Li Shimin's anger was not gone. More importantly, Li Su's crime this time was too serious. Although this was an era when personal governance was greater than the rule of law, Li Su's crime of destroying and being a relative of the country was impossible for Li Shimin to forgive him as an emperor. The state has national laws, and it is impossible to make exceptions. There are one and two. If Li Su is spared, there will be precedent for pardon when someone violates the national laws in the future, and the laws of this country will be in chaos. How can the emperor Li Shimin be the emperor in the future?

Dongyang's plea was cruelly rejected by Li Shimin. Not only did he refuse, but Li Shimin also scolded her for the first time. After all, Dongyang also participated in the destruction of marriage, which was related to the country. It was Li Shimin's plea, so no one should touch it lightly. Therefore, Dongyang's plea was not only helpless, but was also severely scolded by Li Shimin and was banned. He ordered Dongyang to be placed under house arrest in Ningxiang Pavilion and not to go out of the palace.

…………

There is no way to plead, and the public opinion in Chang'an City unknowingly boils.

Someone leaked the incident of Li Su's destruction of marriage, and everyone in Chang'an knew about it. After being shocked, the court officials and the people were talking about it.

The people have never spoken in unison. They praise Li Su's behavior, and criticize him. Those who praise him have long hated the marriage policy since ancient times. Now the Tang Dynasty is a powerful country, and it can be said that it is invincible and arrogant. In such a period of national strength and military strength, why should the princess be the crown prince of a foreign country? This move really hurts the dignity of the Tang Dynasty and makes millions of men in Guanzhong lose face. Li Su destroys the marriage to maintain the prestige of the country. Why not reward and retaliate against crime?

As for those who scold Li Su, most of them were court officials. These people looked farther away. When they were in the court, they naturally knew that although the Tang Dynasty seemed to be in a prosperous army and was respected by all nations, they were far from "invincible". In fact, because of Li Shimin's belligerent, there were basically wars of all sizes every year in Zhenguan year. The generals in the court once had a great say. These generals were as fierce as fire and asked for a war with neighboring countries. They happened to meet an emperor who also liked to resolve disputes with swords. Therefore, Zhenguan year was said to be prosperous, but in fact, the treasury was not rich.

No matter ancient and modern times, every war in the country was made of money, food and grass. No matter how large the conquered land was, it would not be able to be digested in a few years or ten years. However, the money, food and grass paid by the treasury were real. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty became more powerful year by year, but the treasury was poorer every year, and it could hardly support a slightly larger war. In this case, marriage ties were very important to the Tang Dynasty. It was a temporary means to let the Tang Dynasty take a breath. Li Su destroyed the marriage ties, which undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a "disaster country".

There are mixed praises and rumors.

Chang'an City was once again in a boiling state because of Li Su.

On the fourth day of Li Su's imprisonment, an imperial edict was issued in Tai Chi Palace.

King Li Daozong of Jiangxia was dismissed from the position of Minister of Rites and was banned for three months. Li Su, the Marquis of Jingyang County, was dismissed from the position of Minister of Shangshu, and was exiled to Qiannan for three years. He was pardoned but refused to pardon.

Dismissed from office, removed from title, and exiled.

The worst outcome that Li Su expected had happened. The news came out of the palace and Chang'an was shocked again.

No one expected that Li Shimin's punishment this time would be so severe. Li Su committed a serious crime and returned to Chang'an after exile for three years. No one knew what the world would turn out. What is certain is that Li Su may find it difficult to turn over again. Even if he returns to Chang'an in three years, the holy family will definitely be gone.

There are many people who sighed. Since the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Su has been a sensational figure in Chang'an City. Many court officials and people in Chang'an City can be said to have watched this boy from a farmer from being alone to entering the court, from being a commoner to being a marquis and a higher official position. Who knew that the world was impermanent and the rise and fall of the world was unstable. It was really "watching him rise up a tall building, and watching his building collapse."

The young hero has a bright future and has made many contributions to the country. However, because of the marriage, he was dismissed from office and removed from his title and exiled for thousands of miles. Li Shimin's severe punishment made the court officials secretly shocked. Li Shimin was still smiling at Li Su yesterday, thinking that he was a nephew of his later life. Today, he suddenly turned against him and beat him to the end. The emperor's power is indeed unpredictable.

The will has been issued, and there are many chain reactions.

The most shocking thing was Lu Dongzan. Since the poor Tubo prime minister met Li Su, he completely subverted his outlook on life. He never expected to provoke a group fight between envoys from the six countries, which ruined the Tang Dynasty's Tubo marriage. It was Li Su!

What about brothers who agreed to love each other? Who would have agreed to be together? Did you dare to stab each other when you were unfamiliar with the mountains and the world? Did you feed the money and jewelry that were moved into your Li family warehouse? After accepting the bribe, he still cheated himself hard on his back. He was so unpretentious about being a person. What a bullshit "country of etiquette", bah!

Lu Dongzan was so angry that after the news came out, he knelt in front of the Tai Chi Palace gate, and cried and accused the Tang Kingdom of injustice. The ministers in the court of your country were simply corrupt and the rituals and music collapsed. He asked His Majesty the Emperor to severely punish this beast to serve as a warning to others and to subdue all nations. By the way, he danced a dance praising Li Shimin in front of the palace gate, which was very Bazaar.

A pair of close brothers who bribed countless good brothers, and their relationship broke down...

There is also Princess Wencheng. After King Jiangxia was imprisoned, Princess Wencheng was very sad and desperate. After careful consideration, she decided to cut off the love thread in Huijian and enter the palace to meet Li Shimin. She said she was willing to marry Tubo, and only wanted to release her father Li Daozong and Li Su from the prison.

Princess Wencheng's request is naturally ridiculous in Li Shimin's eyes.

Marriage naturally needs to continue, but the sins in this theory must not be missed. National laws do not allow personal feelings, especially after committing a serious crime that touches national interests, they cannot be easily forgiven.

******************************************************************************

Dali Temple Prison.

Chang'an City was in a state of chaos, but Li Su, as the person involved, sat leisurely in prison, drinking wine and chatting.

The person who chatted with him was Cheng Chumo. After the content of the imperial edict was spread, Cheng Chumo went to the prison to visit Li Su with a rich meal.

The idlers in the prison were unable to enter and exit. Fortunately, Mr. Cheng was not an idler, he was a bully. The prison guard at the gate just smiled and said something to refuse, and he was slapped by Mr. Cheng in the face. Then Mr. Cheng came in swaggeringly.

Sitting opposite Li Su, watching Li Su drinking wine leisurely and eating side dishes, Cheng Chumo was full of thought and sighing constantly. Seeing Li Su's heartless look, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but want to grab his clothes and sway hard to see if he could shake the water in his mind and do less stupid things from now on.

"There is a big fuss outside, you are leisurely and at ease!" Cheng Chumo glared at him fiercely.

Li Suzi took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and then took a chopstick of vegetables into his mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and then looked up at him.

"What you mean is that in order to match the mood of the onlookers outside, I should kneel down and cry to express my repentance. It is best to hang myself in prison and apologize?"

Cheng Chumo smiled: "Then there is no need. If you commit suicide, what should you do if the fun outside?"

Li Su held the dish again and frowned and said, "It's a little salty and heavy in oil. When you go back, you can hang your cook up and smoke it. Is this what people eat?"

Cheng Chumo hummed and said, "I have never seen you in my life because I am so particular about you. My father knew I would come to see you today, so I asked me to give you a word..."

Li Su continued without hesitation: "You can use the word 'skip' to replace it and just say it's real."

"Okay,...skip, skip, skip, and...skip."

"I received it, Uncle Cheng is still strong and enthusiastic..."

Cheng Chumo smiled and said, "You don't know how angry my father was at home. He scolded countless bastards and said that this matter was difficult to turn around. Your Majesty's idea has been settled, and it is useless to ask you to accept your fate. Go back to Chang'an in three years and learn to be smart. Several uncles and uncles will work together to help you. Three years later, there may be a day of comeback."

Li Su glanced at him strangely: "What three years? Are you all sure that I will definitely go to the place where birds do not lay eggs this time? The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the food is poor. Do you think a person like me can live such a life?"

Cheng Chumo said in surprise: "Do you still want to go against the order?"

Li Su blinked: "There are many ways not to go to Qiannan, and violating the order is just one of them. Of course, it is also the most deadly. A smart person like me will definitely not do such stupid things."

Cheng Chumo said angrily: "It's a fool to disturb Your Majesty and your parents! My mind is flooded? What did you think at that time? You dare to get involved in such a fatal matter. Good brothers, drink, hunt and go to brothels together. How comfortable life is. From now on, I'll be separated by thousands of miles. I'll teach me how I feel alone in the future!"

Li Su sighed, "Don't be busy with sensation. Brother Chumo, you have to believe me, this matter can turn the tables. I don't want to go anywhere, just want to stay in Chang'an, um... I drink with you and hunt and go to brothels."

Cheng Chumo opened his eyes wide: "There is still room for maneuver in this matter?"

Li Su looked at him strangely: "Nonsense, do you think I was doing this stupid thing and was just having fun with my head?"

Cheng Chumo didn't speak, but just looked at him speechlessly.

After a while, Li Su nodded: "Tell me with your sincere expression, you really think I'm joking with my head."

"That's right." Cheng Chumo glanced at him and said, "The imperial edict has been issued. In three days, you will set off and leave Chang'an and exiled to Qiannan. The marriage between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was destroyed by you. Your Majesty's thunderous anger has not subsided. My father said, looking at Your Majesty's appearance, if you had not thought that you had made some contributions back then, Your Majesty would have chopped you up with one knife. Things have become iron, and it is easier to break. I really can't think of any other way you can turn this matter around."

Li Su lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and sighed sadly: "Now everyone in the world says that I, Li Su, misleading the country and causing trouble. Who can know that I have a loyal heart? I am not a good person, but I don't think I am so bad. Since I have encountered some things, I think I should do it, so I did it. A real man only wants to be ashamed of heaven and earth, as well as the people, and only then can he be a true man. And since I have done it, I cannot regret it. I will accept it even if I go all the way... Brother Chumo, I will continue to do this. There is no reason to give up halfway, so you have to help me."

Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said boldly: "Good words! I want to be ashamed of the world, and do it, and I will never regret it! Brother Zizheng, we have been brothers for many years, I believe you are not a disaster for the country. Brother Yao, I have asked for something, and I, old Cheng Jue, went through fire and water! But... I have been talking for a long time, what exactly do you want to do?"

Li Su smiled and said, "Brother Chumo Gao Yi, I remember Wu Nei. The help I want to ask you is not as serious as going through fire and water. It's very simple. I need to meet Your Majesty."

Cheng Chumo scratched his head: "Your Majesty is afraid that you can chop you up now. It will be really not easy if you see him... Otherwise, I will go back and invite my father..."

Li Su shook his head: "Don't involve Uncle Cheng. If you want to pass my request into the palace, send someone to tell King Jin Li Zhi. I think... he will definitely be willing to help with this."

Cheng Chumo said without hesitation: "Okay, wait for my news, there will be good news within two days at the latest."

************************************************************************************

Cheng Chumo's efficiency is very fast.

Although he was a little stupid, he could tell the difference. He knew that Li Su's request was related to his life and did not dare to neglect at all. He started to make arrangements after leaving Dali Temple.

The Cheng family was an emerging aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty. They could be called "arist family". Their connections were naturally huge. It was naturally not difficult to use their connections to give Li Zhi in the palace.

A day later, Li Su's words were indeed heard in Li Zhi's ears.

That night, outside the Ganlu Hall where Li Shimin lived, a weak and lonely figure stood quietly in the open space outside the hall, facing the hall door, staring blankly. Soon, the figure suddenly became soft and kneeling on the ground facing the hall door. The figure was straight as pine, motionless like a stone sculpture.

The eunuch on duty outside the hall was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, but the figure was very stubborn. No matter how he persuaded him, he still shook his head and stubbornly knelt outside the hall and refused to get up.

The eunuch was so anxious that he had to hurried into the palace to report the report.

The person kneeling is naturally Li Zhi.

He is not very old, and by the heart, his IQ is not too high. He can't think of a good solution to the problem when encountering difficulties, so he had to use this stupidest method to help Li Su.

Late at night, the cold wind was cold, and Li Zhi still knelt outside the hall without moving. The cold wind whistled past, slashing on his body as if a knife was cut. Li Zhi was already weak, and he knelt on the ground and had not gotten up for a long time in such a cold weather. He couldn't hold on for a while, but Li Zhi still gritted his teeth and struggled.

What supports him is only a sense of faith, and a sense of loyalty and passion for his friends.

Li Zhi has lived in the deep palace since he was a child. Li Su was the first friend he made and the only one. He had experienced life and death with this friend. At that time, Li Zhi suddenly felt that he was no longer lonely. No matter the sorrows and joys he had experienced in the years, he had a partner to talk and share. When he was suffering, tired, wronged, and happy, he knew that there was a person who must have a lazy smile, leaned lazily in front of the desk under the tree, listened quietly to him and helped him overcome difficulties, as if inadvertent words, he taught him countless experiences and principles of dealing with people.

It is already a great luck to meet such a friend in his life. Li Zhixiyuan, he understands the preciousness of the word "friend".

So, tonight he knelt outside the hall, even if the cold wind yelled, he would not move for a long time.

Everything is for a friend, a friend who deserves his doing so.

The eunuch entered the palace to report the report for a while. I wonder what Li Shimin reacted, but the eunuch hadn't come out for a long time.

Li Zhi was very patient. He knew that his father would definitely meet him and would definitely agree to him.

After kneeling for about half an hour, Li Zhi gradually felt his legs numb, as if he was out of control. When his body was about to collapse, Li Shimin's burly figure finally appeared outside the hall gate.

Looking at his son who was frozen with a purple face, a deep heartache flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and sighed: "Zhi Nu, why are you doing this! What kind of ** soup did that bastard Li Su give you? It made you plead for him so hard despite the cold weather!"

Li Zhi's consciousness was already a little blurred. He forced himself to smile and said weakly: "Father, after all, he treated me like this, so I treated him like this."

Li Shimin was stunned, as if he had some insight, then looked at his beloved son with a blue face and said, "Zhi Nu, you should know that I cannot spare Li Su easily. The country's law is majestic, and it is useless to plead for mercy. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Otherwise, how can I convince the world?"

Li Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "Father, my son is not asking for mercy for Li Su, but asking his father to see Li Su. Li Su violated the national law, and at least he should give him a chance to explain. If the father still thinks he has done something wrong after explanation, he should scold him in person, teach him to distinguish right from wrong, let him know that ********** and will not commit it again in the future. Confucius said, "If you don't teach, you will be punished, you will be abused." If the people commit crimes, the government will also have a process of interrogation and know the causes and consequences of it. Li Su has made so many contributions to his father, why can't he give him a chance to defend himself?"
