I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, his eyes were full of emotions, and he sighed after a long time: "Zhen... no, I didn't expect it, it's just like this, it will..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to describe it, so he could only sigh heavily again.

But soon he restrained his emotions.

"I never thought of taking the lives of you children." Li Shimin raised his hand, squeezed his face, and returned to his emperor's appearance, "I only hope that you can live in harmony."

"You can't get along well, and I don't want you to face each other with swords."

"As Gao Ming, I'm not even willing to take his life, let alone you, Qingque, it's just a battle for the crown prince, how can I... you are that kind of cruel and merciless person."

Li Tai didn't speak, but just lowered his head again.

This is impossible, and it does not exist. The father and son resolved the misunderstanding, looked at each other with a smile, and cried with each other. The conflict between Li Shimin and Li Yuan still exists.

It's just... two people who have passed a hundred years together know how to get along normally, at least seemingly normal, when there are conflicts.

Li Shimin has reached this level.

But Li Tai obviously didn't.

"The young slave was assassinated, are you really behind the scenes?" Li Shimin asked with a trembling voice after heaving a sigh of relief.

Li Tai nodded, and said dullly: "Yes."

Li Shimin felt a pain in his heart, and waved his hand towards Zhou Xiaosan.

Zhou Xiaosan sighed, and interrogated Li Tailai on the spot, the eyes of the historian on the side were bright, and he took a pen to record quickly. Fortunately, Zhou Xiaosan's interrogation pace was not fast, so he didn't need to save words to record.

He didn't have many questions to ask.

After all... Li Tai has already been punished.

The next thing is to convict, which should be Zhou Xiaosan's job, but he didn't say much, just stood aside, waiting for Li Shimin's punishment.

This person is old.

His mental and physical haggardness made it difficult for him to cheer up.

Sitting on the chair, he fell asleep, and the people beside him didn't bother him, the historian, Yushitai officials, and Zhou Xiaosan were all standing.

Li Tai also knelt like rolling.

More than an hour passed.

Li Shimin woke up with a start, looked at the dimly lit sky outside the window, and was a little dazed: "Did I just fall asleep?"

"Yes." The eunuch hurried forward and squeezed Li Shimin's shoulders.

Li Shimin looked at Zhou Xiaosan again: "The interrogation is over."

Zhou Xiaosan nodded, and winked at the historian. The historian hesitated for a moment and covered up the rest of the place, only revealing the conversation between Li Tai and Zhou Xiaosan.

Li Shimin took a hasty glance.

He shouldn't have seen these things, even if he is the emperor, he is not qualified to see these things.

But under special circumstances, the content of this part also serves as a transcript.

After reading it, he was a little silent: "I... To be honest, I am a little disappointed. You are almost my best son, but you still did this kind of thing in the end."

Li Tai didn't speak, he didn't want to say anything now.

"I...delegate you to the Duke of Wei." Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said his punishment. After all, he still couldn't see that his son would not live a good life.

The eunuch reminded him: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is Wei Guogong."

Li Shimin paused, and he opened his mouth to mention the new fiefdom, but... this reminded him of the last time he belittled Li Tai's title.

I'm afraid that there will be a misunderstanding like Jiang Wang.

He hesitated for a while, and asked, "I am determined to lower you to be the Duke of the state. As for the fiefdom... you can choose it yourself."

Li Tai said hoarsely: "Everything is up to His Majesty."

Li Shimin felt another pain in his heart, he let out a sigh of relief: "I...can make you the Duke of Jin."

The eunuch was about to remind again—the title of "Jin" already had Li Zhi, the king of Jin, but before he could say anything, Li Shimin gave him a stare.

He forgot the others, can he forget this?

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Li Zhi is the crown prince, he will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future, a fief of "Jindi" is irrelevant, as long as it is given to Li Tai, let him settle down a bit.

At least... the word Jin will not cause Li Tai to misunderstand like the word "Jiang".

Li Tai kowtowed and thanked mercilessly: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and looked at Zhou Xiaosan: "As for the assassination of King Jin and Duke Zhengyang, it cannot be closed hastily. All relevant persons must be investigated."

Zhou Xiaosan responded.

Li Shimin paused, and gritted his teeth. He was old, and his teeth became slightly sore when he bit down on it, but this aroused his fierceness even more: "As for Mr. Zhengyang, if there is any commotion, don't worry about it. Take care immediately."

"It's all about handling the case first."

Zhou Xiaosan responded again.

The subtext of these two sentences is, let Zhou Xiaosan and Yin Xuan say something, let him vent his temper, if there is any problem, he, the emperor, will bear it.

When a father looks at his son, there is always a filter.

They always feel that their child is born a good person, even if they go astray or do some wrong things, it is not the child's own choice, someone must have led them badly.

Li Tai is like this in Li Shimin's eyes.

Although he is the mastermind.

But Li Shimin still firmly believed that the Wei family must have bewitched his son.

He wished that the Wei family would be destroyed, and the whole family would be slaughtered, but...he couldn't do it, this was the emperor's flaw, he couldn't do anything recklessly.

Li Shimin and Zhou Xiaosan couldn't figure it out, how could this matter be just a secret plan of the two families of the Wei family, and how could the other families not be involved.

But... this is a conspiracy.

The Wei family cut their tails to survive and gave up the two houses. Li Shimin could only do something to the two houses. He even had to praise Wei's servant price and reward Xiaoyao Gongfang.

So he left the matter of venting his anger to Yin Xuan, who possessed enormous power and could act recklessly.

It's a good thing not to come to court.

It was the first time for Li Shimin to come up with such an idea so seriously.

Zhou Xiaosan left the imperial city. Although the court meeting was temporarily canceled, most of the officials did not leave. They wanted to know why the court meeting was suddenly canceled today.

Seeing Zhou Xiaosan walking out of the imperial city, many people had a clear understanding.

But there is still something that I don't understand, so I stepped forward to ask.

Zhou Xiaosan didn't answer them, but got into the carriage and rushed to Zhengyang Mansion.

Ok…

This time it was still empty.

Yin Xuan went to the restaurant, he couldn't stay at home all the time, he increased the manpower of rangers at Fengchao, doubled the security force, and even had door inspection, those girls finally let Yin Xuan go out .

The diners don't care about the door inspection, so they won't find it troublesome.

What happened yesterday terrified them.

But just to check, for the safety of Mr. Zhengyang, they feel that this kind of small cumbersomeness is not worth mentioning.
