Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, his face darkened.

The ministers of civil and military affairs stood on both sides of the hall.

Xu Ang knelt in the middle, and Xu Jingzong knelt beside him, with ropes tied around his body.

Qin Qiong returned to the ranks of generals and stood beside Cheng Yaojin.

"Shubao, what crime did the Yan family commit?"

Cheng Yaojin asked in a low voice.

Qin Qiong shook her head, signaling Cheng Yaojin not to speak.

With this posture, apart from treason, I am afraid that there is no crime that will receive such courtesy.

Shangshu's whole family is tied up, this kind of posture is not small.

"Nie Zi, how dare you slander your biological father!"

Xu Jingzong gritted his teeth and scolded Xu Ang.

"You rebelled, I'm reporting you to protect the people of the clan, and I'm loyal to the king."

Xu Ang scolded back.

The father and son scolded each other in the hall.

The ministers looked at it and felt that it was too shameful.

Li Shimin said angrily, "Have you had enough noise?"

Xu Jingzong cried out for injustice and said, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Datang, how can I avenge Li Mi who has died for more than 20 years?"

"How can I say such nonsense?"

"It's this rebellious son who is talking nonsense, please look into it clearly, Your Majesty."

The ministers of the DPRK and China eat melons and watch the show.

They don't know which will rebel and which will not.

Back then, Zhang Liang and Liu Lan seemed to be loyal to the emperor on the surface, but they secretly made dragon robes behind their backs.

Everyone they see now is suspected of treason.

Xu Ang immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, I was the only one who heard what he said after being drunk many times."

Xu Jingzong scolded Xu Ang Nizi.

Li Shimin got up and got off the dragon chair.

Standing in front of Xu Jingzong, he asked coldly: "Xu Jingzong, when you defected to our dynasty, I was very famous for your talents, and I introduced you as the eighteenth scholar of the Qin Palace."

"After I ascended the throne, I named you the founding man of Gaoyang County, and made you Minister of the Ministry of Officials, ranging from official to prime minister."

"Ask yourself, I give you more than Li Mi, and I treat you better than Li Mi."

"It's been more than 20 years, but you still can't forget Li Mi and want to avenge him."

"You, let me down so much."

Li Shimin said this to Xu Jingzong, and also to Cheng Yaojin and his group of ministers from Wagangzhai.

Li Shimin didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people thinking about Li Mi.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong bowed their heads and remained silent.

They feel wronged in their hearts.

Li Mi is a man who likes intrigue and trickery, and is not likable at all.

They never thought of avenging Li Mi or anything.

Xu Jingzong burst into tears, and said: "Your Majesty, I did not rebel against you."

"That guy Li Mi is full of tricks. The humble minister despised him as a talent and defected to the Tang Dynasty. How could he avenge a dead man?"

The minister next to him felt that what Xu Jingzong said made sense.

But no one dared to speak.

Li Shimin pointed to Xu Ang and asked: "Xu Ang is your own son, would he frame his biological father?"

"What is he trying to do? Tell me!"

The reason why Li Shimin believed Xu Jingzong's rebellion was that Xu Ang was his own son.

For no reason, which son would frame his biological father for treason.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why this rebellious son is like this."

"My humble minister is wronged, wronged."

Xu Jingzong regretted that he should not have given birth to such a rebellious son.

Li Shimin sighed: "You and I will leave you a whole body."

The back of Xu Jingzong's head felt cold, and he felt that he was going to die.

How to do?
Xu Jingzong turned his head and begged the ministers on both sides: "My lords, please speak for me, I really did not rebel."

"I'm wronged, I'm wronged."

Xu Jingzong burst into tears, feeling that he had been wronged too much.

No one dared to speak, the court was quiet, only Xu Jingzong was crying.

"Your Majesty, I will protect Xu Shangshu from rebellion."

Wei Zheng walked out.

Seeing Wei Zheng walking out, Li Shimin sneered.

"Okay, Wei Zheng, you also came down from Li Mi's Wagang Village."

"You promised Xu Jingzong not to rebel, what evidence do you have?"

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong admired Wei Zheng's responsibility in their hearts, and dared to speak for their former brothers at this time.

But this matter is not clear.

Wei Zheng turned his head hard, and asked back, "May I ask what evidence the emperor has for Xu Shangshu's rebellion?"

Li Shimin pointed at Xu Ang and sneered, "Isn't that enough for his own son to identify him?"

Wei Zheng wanted to argue again, but he couldn't speak.

Xu Jingzong cried: "Your Majesty, I really don't understand why this rebellious son framed me."

Li Shimin sneered and said, "God knows, the earth knows, and you also know."

"Come on, drag it out."

This means that Li Shimin does not intend to listen to Xu Jingzong's defense.

Wei Zheng was quick-witted and shouted, "Slow down!"

"Your Majesty, I request that the son-in-law Su Yu come forward."

As soon as this remark came out, there was finally movement in the court.

The ministers began to discuss:
"That's right, regarding the minister's rebellion, please ask Concubine Su to come forward, and you will be able to find out as soon as you ask."

"Zheng Guogong's suggestion is good, please let the son-in-law come forward to distinguish right from wrong."

"It makes sense, I second it."

Xu Jingzong also understood, and begged: "Your Majesty, the son-in-law is not sure, and the prophet knows the truth, please come forward."

"If the son-in-law says that I am treasonous, I am willing to end it myself."

Su Yu became Xu Jingzong's only hope.

The ministers of the DPRK and China both seconded and agreed.

Li Shimin also wanted to know why Su Yu didn't notice Xu Jingzong's rebellion?
Is this kid angry?
"Okay, Prince Xuan enters the palace."

Li Shimin said.

The decree said, but no one moved
Not everyone can invite Su Yu to go out.

Cheng Yaojin came out to pay homage and said, "Your Majesty, my servant is going to invite Su Yu into the palace."

Cheng Yaojin and Su Yu have a little friendship, and they are thick-skinned, so they have to drag him over if they are soft-hearted.

Li Shimin nodded.

Cheng Yaojin immediately ran out of the Tai Chi Hall, and galloped to Sujiazhuang on his horse.

At the gate of Zhuangzi, I met Di Renjie and Li Fangyuan.

He asked for leave to go home, and now he is going to work in Dali Temple.

"Lu Guogong"

Di Renjie wanted to say hello, but Cheng Yaojin rode in hastily and ignored Di Renjie.

"This Duke Lu actually ignores us?"

Li Fangyuan felt strange.

In the past, when Cheng Yaojin met Di Renjie, he would definitely tease him.

"This fat man is in such a hurry, something must have happened."

"Let's go, let's go to Chang'an City."

Di Renjie said.

The two took a step first.

Cheng Yaojin entered the courtyard and saw Su Yu lying on a chair, and Princess Wu Ji standing behind her, pinching Su Yu's shoulders.

"Su Yu, come with my old Cheng."

Cheng Yaojin jumped off his horse and strode to Su Yu's side.

"Cheng Mangfu, you are not young anymore, walk so fast, be careful of falling and breaking your bones."

Su Yu joked.

Cheng Yaojin was not in the mood to joke.

"Something went wrong, Xu Jingzong rebelled, didn't you know?"

Cheng Yaojin felt very strange.

He had the same question as Li Shimin, why didn't Su Yu know about Xu Jingzong's rebellion?

"Xu Jingzong? How could he rebel? Who said that?"

Su Yu felt strange.

Hearing what Su Yu said, Cheng Yaojin was relieved.

"You mean, Xu Jingzong didn't rebel?"

Cheng Yaojin confirmed again.

Su Yu nodded slightly: "There were many rebellions during the Zhenguan period, but Xu Jingzong did not."

Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled a stool over by himself.

Just now he took the initiative to ask Su Yu for help, which is actually very risky.

In case Xu Jingzong really rebelled secretly, he is suspected of being an accomplice.

"It was his rebellious son Xu Ang who framed him."

"My own son reported on Lao Tzu, what was raised for nothing."

Cheng Yaojin scolded.

"Su Yu, give me some water, I'm exhausted."

Princess Yaji immediately went into the room and brought out a glass of beer.

Seeing the beer, Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Su Yuye knows me."

After drinking the beer in one gulp, Cheng Yaojin came back to life full of blood.

"Go, follow my old Cheng into the palace and save Xu Jingzong's life."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to drag Su Yu onto the horse.

"Okay, just bored."

Su Yu smiled wickedly.

Cheng Yaojin thought to himself: This kid smiles so treacherously, there must be something good to watch.

Princess Wuji prepared the horse, while Su Yu and Cheng Yaojin rode to Chang'an City.
