Chapter 581: The Man with Two Faces and Three Swords
Li Shimin sighed.
"I'm tired, so let Gao Ming come to the trial, and I'll judge it now!"
After finishing, Li Chengqian stepped forward and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!" ”
It can be seen that Wang Junkuo's mood at this time is like entering an ice cave, let anyone judge, don't let Li Chengqian judge, that is a scheming guy.
At this time, I am afraid that there is no chance of overturning the case. The fully foreseeable consequences were severe.
Therefore, Wang Junkuo glanced at Liu Hongji again, only to see Liu Hongji nodding at him, signaling that everything was with him.
That's a little relieved.
Then he turned around and walked to Wang Junkuo's side.
"Wang Junkuo, this king gives you a chance to confess and be lenient, if you confess your crime now, perhaps, you can avoid death. But if you resist, it will only add to your sins! ”
Confessing leniently and resisting strictly, this is probably the greatest dignity he can give Wang Junkuo.
It's up to him whether he wants to or not.
Wang Junkuo didn't think too much, and said directly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister said that the minister was wronged, and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master of the minister!" ”
It would be a waste not to let Wang Junkuo become an actor, as he spoke, his eyes turned red, so that some people actually believed him.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this has not yet been tried, and it seems to be biased to directly let Wang Junkuo admit his guilt!"
Liu Hongji said bluntly.
"It seems that you are unwilling to confess, not to mention that this king has not given you a chance. In that case, let's get started. ”
Li Chengqian said again: "Xue Rengui, tell me the details of Wang Junkuo's rebellion!" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince! This Wang Junkuo has been slacking off since half a month ago, and the minister and Su Lie persuaded him more than once to let him lead troops to snipe at Yu Changsun Wuji. So, because of this, we missed a lot of opportunities, and in the end, we found out that he and the eldest grandson Wuji met privately. ”
Liu Hongji said: "It seems that the two of them can't prove anything when they meet!" ”
Li Chengqian smiled.
"Can't prove anything? The two sides have a relationship between friends and enemies, and the eldest grandson Wuji rebelled, but Wang Junkuo did not care about meeting him in private, and his intentions were really disappointing! ”
"This is just the words of Xue Rengui's family, and the villain doesn't admit it!"
The current Wang Junkuo has been removed from his official position, so he can only call himself a villain.
"Wang Junkuo! All sergeants can testify! If you don't believe it, you can send some people back and let them testify on the spot! ”
"Hmph, now that the military power is in your hands, you say one, do they dare to say two?"
Wang Junkuo asked rhetorically.
"Then Xu Guogong can testify!"
Liu Hongji said again: "Xu Guogong has a great relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid it's not suitable!" ”
Anyway, they didn't want to admit it, thinking that Li Chengqian would have no choice.
When Gao Shilian heard this, he was directly unhappy.
"Liu Hongji, you are very irresponsible! Although I am related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I still have my heart in the face of major rights and wrongs! You're slandering me! ”
Gao Shilian said very angrily.
"At the time of the frontier campaign, Xu Guogong and Xue Rengui and Su Lie, the relationship between the three of them was also very close, and the villain was afraid that they were selfish, so Xu Guogong spoke for Xue Rengui."
"That's just your guess!"
Li Chengqian shouted.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the villain is really wronged, the villain fights in the world with His Majesty, this time it is only due to the cunning of the Tubo people! It's not the minister's fault! ”
"Shut up! Wang Junkuo, in terms of cunning, who can compare to you? Do you want this king to tell me about your past? ”
Li Chengqian asked.
All the ministers were surprised, what, Wang Junkuo's past, the prince actually knew?
How did he know?
Is there an investigation into it?
How did they know that Li Chengqian knew the past and the future, and he didn't know the past of Wang Junkuo well?
This made Wang Junkuo's face white, but then recovered.
"The villain is well deserved!"
This guy is really depressing.
"Very good, since you are not afraid! Then the king will tell me how dirty your past is! ”
Even Li Shimin felt amazing, because he didn't know what Wang Junkuo's past was like, he only knew that Wang Junkuo had some military exploits, and as for the process of military exploits, he didn't care about it, because he only looked at the results.
"Back then, during the uprising, Wang Junkuo, you asked your uncle to respond to the uprising, but because your uncle refused, you framed your aunt for adultery with a neighbor, induced your uncle to kill your aunt, and then forced him to die with you.
After that, you gathered an army and plundered Xia County and Changping, when Hedong Cheng Ding Rong led troops to crusade against Wang Junkuo's troops, but it had no effect, and later Ding Rong simply planned to send people to persuade you to surrender.
You pretended to surrender to Ding Rong, so that Ding Rong relaxed his surveillance of people and myself, and then Ding Rongren sent you to camp on the mountain, and you took the opportunity to attack Ding Rong. ”
As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, everyone's understanding of Wang Junkuo went to another level, so it was really three-faced, and some people even began to stay away from him. I'm afraid of being calculated by him!
Li Shimin also heard everything about Wang Junkuo for the first time, so he asked: "Gao Ming, but there is more?" ”
This is already to make him fall in love.
Li Chengqian said: "And! Let's listen to the sons! ”
So he began to say again: "Wang Junkuo is in the hands of the king in the first year of you and Yining (617), Tang Gaozu Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui and sent people to recruit Wang Junkuo. Wei Bao and Deng Bao planned to join Gaozu, but Wang Junkuo pretended to agree, took advantage of his unpreparedness to suddenly send troops to attack, seize their baggage, and then defected to Li Mi's Wagang army.
In the first year of Wude (618), Wang Junkuo was not reused by Li Mi in the Wagang army, so he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was named Shangzhu State, Fake Hanoi Taishou, and Changshan County Duke, and later reappointed Liaozhou Assassin Shi and Shanggu County Duke. ”
When he said these words, all the ministers and others were shocked, this is probably the performance of Wang Junkuo in the recent period, and some people even began to realize that Wang Junkuo was such a person.
"Such a two-faced person has been reused! Your Majesty, this is to deceive the Holy Hearing! ”
Li Shimin's face has become very bad.
"This is just the villain's past, the villain has made countless military exploits for the Tang Dynasty, why doesn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take a look?"
"Who knows what you've done in the midst of all these feats!"
At a critical time, Liu Hongji came out and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, even if this is true, it is only because Wang Junkuo's character is problematic, and it is useless for this matter!"
"yes, it doesn't prove anything!"
How can it not be proven? It proves that Wang Junkuo is a bad person, and he can do everything!
"Well, this king still has evidence!"
Li Chengqian's words shocked everyone, and he still has evidence, which is interesting.
