Hearing Qin Huaiyu say this, Li Shimin's face showed a displeased expression. And looked directly at the representatives of the three great families.

Don't look at the usual five surnames and seven sects, all of them are above the top, although they don't put imperial power in their eyes at all. But they didn't dare to openly compare with the emperor.

Because of that result, it will provoke Li Shimin's anger. If Li Shimin is angry, the jade will be burned. In the end, there was only one result of the five surnames and seven sects, that is, they were uprooted by Li Shimin.

So the representatives of the three major families opened their mouths and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, our family is loyal to the emperor. Don't listen to Qin Huaiyu sowing discord. ”

"Qin Huaiyu, why do you think so. Do the people of the world really think that the patriarch of the five surnames and seven sects is no different from me? Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to Qin Huaiyu.

"Father, in the eyes of the five surnames and seven sects, there is no imperial power at all. Everything they do is based on the interests of the family, and they do not care about the honor and disgrace of the country and the people. ”

"So in their hearts, there is no difference between the patriarch of their family and their father. Even the three people present today believed in their hearts that their father was not more authoritative than their patriarch. Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

This time, Li Shimin's face became even more ugly, and then he said to the representatives of the three major families with a cold face: "What the five surnames and seven sects have done, the people of the world are naturally obvious to all. Even I know it. ”

"It's just that I take into account the faces of the five surnames and seven sects, and I haven't embarrassed you. But now you are getting more and more rampant, and you don't take me seriously at all. How about I give up this throne to you with five surnames and seven sects? ”

Hearing Li Zhimin say this, the representatives of the three major families were completely panicked. So he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Li Shimin and said: "The emperor must not listen to Qin Huaiyu's words, he is provoking the relationship between the emperor and the five surnames and seven sects." ”

"I have a decision on this matter, but now is not the time to say it. Let's talk about the crime committed by Qin Huaiyu. What do you think should be done with Qin Huaiyu? Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked the representatives of the three major families.

At this time, the representatives of the three major families had already hated Qin Huaiyu to the bone. I can't wait to crush him and scatter his ashes immediately to relieve the hatred in my heart.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, Qin Huaiyu's intimidation of our family master will be done according to what Lord Wei said." After all, the head of my family, as Master Wei said, is white. ”

"However, Qin Huaiyu brought it privately, and the matter of the siege of our family's mansion by soldiers should be handled according to the private transfer of troops. If the national army is mobilized without authorization, it should be punished according to the laws of the country, and in serious cases, it should be punished by the nine tribes. ”

When everyone heard the representatives of the three great families say this, they knew that they were ready to put Qin Huaiyu to death. After all, if the unauthorized mobilization of the army is done, I am afraid that even Li Shimin will not be able to protect Qin Huaiyu.

This couldn't help but make Cheng Yanjin a little worried, after all, he only knew that he should cooperate. How to sing this big drama specifically, he really has no bottom in his heart.

However, seeing Qin Qiong's expression sitting on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, Cheng Biting Jin's hanging heart was put down again. Because he didn't see Qin Qiong having the slightest worry, this showed that Li Tai definitely had a backup move.

"Wei Aiqing, I don't know if Qin Huaiyu's move has constituted a private mobilization of the army." Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked Wei Zheng.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter does not constitute a private transfer of the army. First of all, the army transferred by Qin Huaiyu is not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty. Rather, it was subordinate to the guard of Li Tai, the king of Yan. ”

"Second, Qin Huaiyu was ordered by Li Tai, the king of Yan, to escort the silver to repay the major families. So naturally there is a need for military escorts. Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin.

"Then may I ask Lord Wei, should His Royal Highness King Yan's guards stay by His Royal Highness King Yan's side. They did not have the emperor's decree, nor did they have any military documents to leave the patrol without permission. Whether it has constituted the crime of deceitful king. The representative of the three major families asked Wei Zheng.

This time it was Wei Zheng's turn to be speechless, after all, there was nothing wrong with what the representatives of the three major families said. And at this time, the crime of privately patrolling the land is attributed to Li Tai, the king of Yan, or Qin Huaiyu. Then it can only depend on Qin Huaiyu's choice.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was speechless, Qin Huaiyu opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the Tiewei Forbidden Army was taken away from Youzhou by his sons, not by His Royal Highness King Yan. Therefore all the blame lies with the sons. ”

has already said this, even Li Shimin is helpless. So he could only sigh and say: "Since you confessed, then I can only do it according to the law of the country." You can't ignore the law of the country just because you are my son-in-law. ”

So Li Shimin ordered someone to push Qin Huaiyu out of the noon gate and behead him for public display. And at this time, a yellow gate official came to report again. said that the queen asked to see her outside the palace.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian asked to see Li Shimin, and he didn't need to ask everyone to understand it in their hearts. must have come to intercede for Qin Huaiyu.

Although this Princess Jingluo is not born to the eldest grandson Wuji. But he was raised by his eldest grandson, Wuji. Because Princess Jingluo's mother died after giving birth to Princess Jingluo.

Therefore, the relationship between the eldest grandson Wujian and Princess Jingluo can be said to be more like biological than biological. Now that Li Shimin wants to kill his son-in-law, the eldest grandson Wujian naturally can't turn a blind eye.

After a short time, the eldest grandson Wujian took Princess Jingluo to the Jinluan Palace. Then Li Shimin said directly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime the son-in-law of this palace has committed, you have to push him out of the noon gate and behead him." ”

"Do you want to see the daughter of this palace become a widow? Let the child in her womb become a hard-working child without a father before she is born? ”

"What are you talking about, Princess Jingluo is pregnant?" Li Shimin stood up in surprise and asked the eldest grandson.

"Yes, now Princess Jingluo is pregnant with Qin Huaiyu's flesh and blood. If you kill Qin Huaiyu now, it is tantamount to putting their mother and son to death. The eldest grandson said.

"I still can't bear it, after all, Brother Qin only has one son, Qin Huaiyu. If he really killed Emperor Qin's brother, Princess Jingluo is now pregnant. Then I don't have to worry about it anymore. Li Shimin said.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone present was shocked. They didn't expect Li Shimin to be so ruthless, could it really be that the Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people.

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Qin Huaiyu is taking the blame for Li Tai. Could it be that Li Shimin is really ready to use his son-in-law to take the blame for his son.

But at this moment, the eldest grandson Wujian said: "Today, the palace will see who dares to touch the son-in-law of the palace." ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson Wujian ordered the palace maid beside him to directly open the rope for Qin Huaiyu. and pulled Qin Huaiyu to Princess Jingluo's side, and he stood in front of the two.

It seems that this eldest grandson is ready to fight Li Shimin to the end. Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty lowered their heads at this time, not daring to look up at these two.

After all, these two are the lords of the world, and neither of them can afford to offend. No matter which one you offend, in the end, when people settle accounts after the autumn, they will not have good fruit to eat.

"You are the lord of the harem and the queen of the world, don't you know that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics? If you continue to be so messy and brutal, you will not blame me for not talking about the relationship between husband and wife. Li Shimin said with a cold face to the eldest grandson.

"Your Majesty, today's palace is not participating in state affairs. It's for the son-in-law of the palace, who came to the emperor to comment on you. Even if the son-in-law of this palace is guilty, you don't want to touch the son-in-law of this palace. The eldest grandson Wujian swore to Li Shimin.

"As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, is it just because he is your son-in-law that I can govern the law of the Tang Dynasty without caring about it?" Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked the eldest grandson Wuji.

"I'm here to talk to you about the law of the Tang Dynasty today. And this palace said that you can't kill Qin Huaiyu, which is also the law of the Tang Dynasty. The eldest grandson Wujian said to Li Shimin.

"Hugh is talking nonsense there, which article and which paragraph of my Datang National Law stipulates. I can't punish him Qin Huaiyu? Li Shimin asked angrily.

At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian was very calm on his face, and said to Princess Jingluo beside him: "Take it out and show it to your father." Let him know why he can't kill Qin Huaiyu. ”

After the eldest grandson Wujian finished speaking, Princess Jingluo took out a painting from her body. And he opened the painting in front of everyone.

I saw a big man on horseback holding a double hammer in the painting, saving a family. As soon as everyone saw it, they knew that this was Qin Qiong's savior in the black pine forest.

I only heard the eldest grandson Wujian speak again: "This imperial scene doesn't need to be said by the palace, the emperor should also know about it." This is Qin Huaiyu's father, Qin Qiong, the protector of the country, and the savior of the black pine forest. ”

"At that time, when the emperor gave the imperial scenery, he said that no matter what crime the Qin family committed. In normal times, the Qin family can be exempted from a capital crime. I wonder if the emperor still remembers this? ”

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "I naturally remember this matter, this is a card given by the emperor to Brother Qin to avoid death. But you can only avoid death and not avoid crime, and today Qin Huaiyu's death crime can be avoided and it is difficult to escape the crime of living. ”

"It seems that today's emperor is determined to embarrass the son-in-law of the palace, in that case, the emperor, you continue to watch." After the eldest grandson Wujian finished speaking, he ordered Princess Jingluo to take out a painting again.

When the painting is opened, a military commander armed with a large axe splits the door of a temple. I want to behead the people in the temple under the axe. Fortunately, he won the military general with a pair of gongs in one hand and saved the people in the temple.

Others don't know about this painting, but Cheng Biting Jin couldn't be clearer, because this is the axe to split Lao Juntang, Qin Qiong's second savior. The person with the axe was none other than Cheng Biting Jin himself.

"Does the emperor still recognize this imperial scene? This is the royal scenery that you gave when you ascended the throne, and you have given a holy decree. With this royal view, no matter what crime the Qin family committed, they did not ask about the crime. The eldest grandson Wujian said to Li Shimin.

"This royal scenery was given by me, and since this is the case, the living sin can be forgiven. demoted Qin Huaiyu to a concubine and was not allowed to be an official for life. Li Shimin said.

"It seems that you are iron-hearted today, since it is like this, this Princess Jingluo will take another painting and let this black-hearted emperor see it." The eldest grandson said to Princess Jingluo.

Then, Princess Jingluo took out a painting again, and when she opened it, everyone saw the contents of the painting. The painting shows the King of Qin exploring Baibi Pass at night, and the King of Qin under the moon of Jingde. Beat three whips and two maces, the horse jumped into the red mud stream, and Qin Qiong was the third savior.
