Chapter 527 That's what I want
Li Shimin looked at the information sent by Li Mu, his face was ashen.
Hiring common people to build roads is originally a good thing that benefits the common people.
Once it is revealed that the imperial court deliberately feeds moldy food to civilian husbands, it will undoubtedly shame the imperial court.
"Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please see me." Li Mu walked in and said.
Li Shimin said coldly: "Heh~, I haven't looked for him yet, but he came by himself, let him in."
Li Mu came outside the hall and said to Li Chengqian who was waiting at the entrance of the hall: "Your Highness, Your Majesty let you in."
Li Chengqian nodded and walked in.
Li Mu led the way, and whispered: "Your Majesty is not in a good mood, Your Highness should be careful."
Li Chengqian was startled, could it be that his father already knew about it?
But it's not convenient to ask now, so I gave Li Mu a grateful look.
"My son and minister see father and emperor." Li Chengqian bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin gave Li Chengqian a cold look, and said, "Why are you here to see me?"
Li Chengqian knelt down and said: "My son is here to plead guilty to the emperor."
"Oh? Are you talking about your crime?" Li Shimin said lightly.
"Father asked my son to be responsible for building roads, but my son did not do a good job. There was news from Luoyang that someone had replaced the grain that the peasants ate with moldy grain, which almost caused a mutiny. Please punish me." Li Chengqian said .
Li Shimin said: "Do you think this is because someone was greedy for ink, or someone deliberately framed you?"
Seeing that Li Shimin was not at all surprised when he heard the news, Li Chengqian secretly rejoiced in his heart.
It seemed that the father really knew about it. If Fang Xuanling hadn't asked him to come to plead guilty, he probably took chances and would not have come to plead guilty.
Once he waited for his father to take the initiative to call him to account, he fell into a passive position instead.
When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin asking this question, he was overjoyed. He was about to say that Li Tai might have done this, but thinking that he had no evidence, he pondered for a while and said, "Return to father, this matter has not been investigated clearly yet, and my son is not sure." Dare to speak falsely."
Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian in surprise. With Li Chengqian's previous personality, even if he didn't take the opportunity to push Li Tai, he would take the opportunity to shirk it.
This is why Li Shimin has always looked down on Li Chengqian.
As the crown prince of the country, there is no city, not even a little commitment.
"Get up." Seeing that Li Chengqian had improved, Li Shimin's face softened a little.
"Thank you, father." Li Chengqian stood up with Li Mu's support.
"This time there was no catastrophe, and you sincerely admitted your mistake, so I won't pursue it, but I don't want it to happen again. The road construction is related to the Tang Dynasty, so you have to put your heart into it." Li Shimin said.
"Thank you, father, my son will live up to my father's expectations." Li Chengqian said respectfully.
At this moment, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, please see the Marquis of Jingyang County."
"Xuan!"
Lin Xuan walked into the hall and was slightly surprised to see Li Chengqian.
"I see Your Majesty, and Your Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You came just in time, I need you to do something."
"Your Majesty, I'm getting married soon, and I still need to go to the border after getting married. I really can't share your worries with Your Majesty." Lin Xuan refused without thinking.
Who knows what kind of errands Li Shimin arranged for him.
"The wedding is still one month away, so it's not a big deal. There's enough time." Li Shimin said.
"Your Majesty..."
Lin Xuan just wanted to continue to evade, Li Shimin said lightly: "I originally planned that you would go to the border half a month after your marriage, but I heard that the situation between Western Turks and Xue Yantuo is tense, and they may fight at any time. I think you should go to the border after marriage." Frontier."
Threat.
Red Luo Luo's threat.
"Your Majesty's salary should be shared with His Majesty, and His Majesty can just tell you what to do." Lin Xuan said awe-inspiringly.
"Really? I just thought about it carefully, you are really busy recently, why don't you forget it?" Li Shimin said with a half-smile.
"Not busy, not busy at all, His Majesty just asks."
Lin Xuan scolded Li Shimin in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.
Li Shimin said reluctantly, "Since that's the case, I'll leave this matter to you."
After finishing speaking, Li Shimin told the story of Luoyang.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter as soon as possible." Lin Xuan said.
"What I want is the truth, don't just find someone to fool me, understand?"
Lin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood what Li Shimin meant.
Li Shimin pretended to ask him to investigate, but in fact he didn't intend to investigate at all.
Thinking about it for a while, it might have something to do with Li Tai.
It is a serious crime to frame the crown prince. Once it is found out that Li Tai did it, will Li Shimin punish him or not?
Li Shimin should have guessed it, so he asked Lin Xuan to check, and hinted that he didn't want to really check.
"I understand, and I will not wrong others." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go down."
"My son retire."
"My minister retire."
After Li Chengqian and Lin Xuan walked out of the hall, they said bitterly: "I'll leave Zichu to you, but Gu wants to see who is killing Gu."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."
It seems that Li Chengqian also suspected that Li Tai did it, and wanted to take this opportunity to bring Li Tai down.
The idea is good, but Li Tai is the whetstone that Li Shimin prepared for Li Chengqian. Now that the knife is not sharpened, the whetstone is still useful.
Li Chengqian said in a low voice: "Zichu might as well find out if this matter has anything to do with King Wei."
"I understand." Lin Xuan said somewhat copingly.

Han Wen looked at Li Tai angrily, and asked, "Your Highness, why didn't you discuss with me before doing this?"
"Sir, pay attention to your identity, don't be too presumptuous." Li Tai said coldly.
Han Wen took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Your Highness, forgive me."
"Forget it this time, sir, you have to think carefully before speaking next time." Li Tai said flatly.
"Thank you, Your Highness. If His Highness did this, wouldn't you be afraid that His Majesty would find out?" Han Wen said.
He found that Li Tai was getting more and more out of control, which was not a good thing.
"Sir, you are worrying too much. Those people are dead, so there will be no excuses." Li Tai said.
Han Wen frowned slightly, and asked, "Did your Highness think that this alone could threaten the crown prince?"
He knew Li Tai's details very well, he really couldn't figure out where Li Tai found these dead men.
Could it be that Li Tai cultivated power secretly?Or is there someone else secretly supporting Li Tai?
"It's up to you, sir. I hope to see my brother's impeachment tomorrow, so it shouldn't be a problem?" Li Tai said.
"Your Highness's thinking is too simple. If His Highness directly causes those civilians to riot, His Majesty may let His Highness be the supervisor of road construction, but if His Highness is so anticlimactic, His Majesty will reprimand the crown prince at most." Han Wen said.
"What this king wants is for his father to reprimand him. During this period of time, the position of the crown prince has become more and more stable. Many ministers in the court have gradually leaned towards the crown prince. As long as the father reprimands him, those ministers will naturally continue to wait and see." Li Tai laughed.
Han Wen glanced at Li Tai in surprise, with a gloomy look in his eyes.
Based on what he knew about Li Tai, Li Tai didn't have such schemes. It seemed that Li Tai had someone behind him to guide him.
"Your Highness, this plan is very clever. I wonder who offered it to Your Highness?" Han Wen asked.
