The continuous bells began to ring, obviously because they encountered an urgent matter. According to the previous regulations, whenever they heard this bell, it means that the emperor had a very urgent matter to summon everyone. All officials in Chang'an, above the ninth rank, would go to Tai Chi Palace to participate in the discussion. This time, Li Shimin rang this big bell, which obviously had a very important matter. Chen Fei probably knew that this bell meant that Li Shimin wanted to formally deal with the assassination of the princess and wanted to gather everyone to discuss.
"Today, I'm just talking short. Just three hours ago, Princess Wanchun was playing outside, but was assassinated. If it weren't for a horse blocking the crossbow arrow, the crossbow arrow that was dipped in poison would have hit Princess Wanchun, and Princess Wanchun would definitely die. Also, this time it was really outrageous. The crossbow arrow used by the assassin was the crossbow arrow used by the army. Li Jing, you, the Minister of War, how do you explain it?" Li Shimin said angrily.
Li Jing didn't say much, just said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of being in prison. However, the sixteen guards in the army were in service almost at the same time. With such a large range, who knows where it flowed out?"
Chen Fei was behind Li Jing, and couldn't help but sigh that Li Jing was indeed an old fry. The princess was assassinated and used military weapons, so Li Jing, the Minister of War, could not escape. Li Jing did not directly deny it, but just admitted the charge of "miss supervision", which was not serious. In addition, what Li Jing said made sense. Currently, there are no less than tens of thousands of crossbows in active service in the country. As long as some forces are willing, they can get it. Ordinary people can't get it, but if an organized person wants it, they can get it. Therefore, Li Jing's responsibility is not heavy, and there is no problem at all.
"Chen Fei, you are in charge of the arsenal, how do you explain?" Li Shimin asked.
Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty. Will I assassinate the princess for someone else? Now the entire Chang'an City knows the relationship between me and the princess. How could I do such a thing?"
"It's okay, I'm not enough to ask casually, just routinely." Li Shimin said.
Next, Li Shimin really didn't have that good temper.
"Dou Lu Kuan, how do you explain that the poison hidden in the palace flowed out? You are the prison in the palace and are responsible for managing Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau. Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau also has this kind of poison that is blood-received. How do you explain?" Li Shimin said angrily.
The reason why Li Shimin was angry this time was that the poison hidden in the palace actually leaked out of the palace. This was a very big deal. If this poison is blood-held, it would be a death. If they can assassinate the princess today. Maybe they will assassinate the emperor tomorrow. This poison that is blood-held is definitely a dangerous product, and it is more dangerous than the guns of later generations. So Li Shimin couldn't help but be angry. Once this kind of thing flows out of the palace, it will cause many people to die if it loses control!
Dou Lu Kuan, the head of the Palace Province, was managed by him by Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau under the Palace Province. Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau happened to have this drug secretly, which forced Li Shimin to be careful. After all, Li Yuan had promised to marry Princess Wanchun to Dou Lu Huairang, the son of Dou Lu Kuan. But now Li Shimin has not continued to fulfill this agreement. Could it be that Dou Lu Kuan resented Princess Wanchun and wanted to kill Princess Wanchun? Or he deliberately raised poison and then asked someone to assassinate him? You must know that Dou Lu Kuan has this possibility!
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! No matter how brave I am, I dare not do this!" Dou Lukuan said hurriedly.
Li Shimin then immediately became furious: "Dou Lukuan is the chief supervisor of the palace and has such serious dereliction of duty, and it is really unforgivable to be punished. The position of Dou Lukuan as the chief supervisor of the palace is removed from his position, and his title is removed and demoted to a commoner!"
Dou Lukuan almost fainted after hearing this. Because he had been struggling for so many years, he became an ordinary citizen again because of an accident. He couldn't help but scold the mastermind, why did he target him every time? In this assassination, as the top leader of the Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau, he could not get rid of the poison leakage. Moreover, he was the first suspect, because Li Yuan had previously agreed to marry Princess Wanchun to his son. So his suspicion was also very huge. So overall, it was no longer suitable for him to continue to serve in the palace. How could such a dereliction of duty stay in the palace?
Chen Fei also took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. This guy was barely considered his "love rival" father. If he had been at a high position, he would have been in trouble. Now that he was dismissed, Chen Fei felt a little gloating. After all, Dou Lu Huaijie couldn't come to trouble him.
"This matter must be investigated to the end, and we must not tolerate it. If we tolerate it, then our Tang Dynasty will never have peace. In front of the street, it is really unforgivable to assassinate my princess of the Tang Dynasty! Therefore, we must investigate this time. If anyone is involved, I will never let it go!" Li Shimin said angrily.
Everyone knows that Li Shimin was furious this time because in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, someone dared to assassinate the Tang Dynasty princess. Isn't this a hit on him, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? So, Li Shimin was really angry. If these guys were not found out, it would be very dangerous.
"Xue Wanjun, Dou Lu Kuan was dismissed this time. As the young prison in the hall, you can temporarily raise the matter of the prison in the hall, and then carefully investigate how these matters were exposed! Especially how the poison was leaked. This time, as the deputy of the prison in the hall, you can't hide. You can make meritorious service first, and quickly find out the reason why the poison was leaked out." Li Shimin said.
The man named Xue Wanjun was speechless. This time he was lucky. The biggest blame was borne by the top leader Dou Lu Kuan. His deputy did not have much responsibility, but instead took the opportunity to move forward to the next level.
"Damn, it turns out that you have to be a deputy when you become an official! Not only will the official take responsibility, but the deputy have no responsibility, but he can be promoted with the flow. Is it natural to do so!" Chen Fei complained.
Chen Fei did not change this situation. Anyway, although the top leader has great power since ancient times, he is the greatest responsibility if something happens. At this time, the benefits of the deputy position are reflected. Not only does he not have to bear the responsibility, but he can take the opportunity to advance to the next level. It turns out that he has to be a deputy to be an official! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
