Chapter 263 Du Ruhui: Why don't you force the palace(1/2)
Originally, history was that Pei Ji, as the first prime minister during the Wude period when Li Yuan was in power, framed many colleagues for his own selfish desires.
Liu Wenjing was originally a close friend with Pei Ji.
When they first defected to Li Yuan, the two had similar status, but who knows...
Pei Ji was mixed and like a rocket, he soared straight up and became Li Tang's first prime minister.
Liu Wenjing... claimed that she was not inferior to him, but she was just the chief minister of the Qin Palace.
In response to this, Liu Wenjing complained many times, and even scolded Li Yuan for not knowing people and being unfair to employ people.
Finally one day, this word reached Li Yuan's ears.
Li Yuan was furious and imprisoned Liu Wenjing for the crime of slandering the emperor and ordered Xiao Yu and Pei Ji to be tried seriously.
After a trial...
Xiao Yu felt that Liu Wenjing was not at all wrong.
It was at this time that Pei Ji stood up and slandered, saying that Liu Wenjing was under Li Shimin's command and intended to rebel.
Li Yuan no longer calmed down when he buckled this big hat.
He directly killed Liu Wenjing and exiled all his family to warn Li Shimin.
In history, it was also because of this incident that the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan became increasingly stiff, which led to the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
...
Pei Mansion.
After receiving Xu Mu's instructions, Wang Xuance gritted his teeth and came to the door with three thousand kilograms of white jade paper.
With three thousand kilograms of white jade paper as a stepping stone, Pei Ji immediately ordered someone to invite him into the mansion.
In the mansion, Pei Ji asked straight to the point: "I don't know what you are looking for in the true state?"
Last time, he received hundreds of kilograms of white jade paper from Wang Xuance, which was used to practice calligraphy and depict painting, which was very convenient.
There are also many favors, and you can give white jade paper.
It can be said that in the upper circle, white jade paper has been completely circulated.
Such high-end paper is very suitable for cultural people.
This time, three thousand kilograms...
To be honest, if Wang Xuance’s request was not too excessive, he could agree.
Wang Xuance pretended to be hesitant and had a moment of confusion before saying, "The villain was originally a businessman who came to Chang'an to do business and sell paper. In the past few days, he had sold white jade paper in Chang'an, but he accidentally learned something."
"Liu Wenjing, the chief of the Qin Prince's Mansion, not only scolded Pei Xiang in the mansion, but also scolded His Majesty for not knowing people. Even after getting drunk yesterday, he took his servants to the street..."
Speaking of this, he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped and did not speak anymore.
But it aroused Pei Ji's curiosity and couldn't help but frown and asked, "What happened to him after he was drunk?"
When Pei Ji mentioned this person, he would not exclaim.
Originally, the two were close friends.
In the past few years, the relationship between the two was very good.
Can be used as...
After Liu Wenjing defected to Li Shimin, the relationship between the two became increasingly tense.
For example, in the court, Liu Wenjing would oppose the strategies proposed by Pei Ji.
Liu Wenjing must support what Pei Ji opposed...
Although Li Yuan favors Pei Ji most of the time, Liu Wenjing's opposition and support are useless.
But this kind of thing is enough once or twice, and it happens every time, which is really disgusting.
Pei Ji was disgusted...
"He... he scolded Pei Xiang as a flattering minister, relying solely on flattery. His Majesty is the same. The King of Qin is brave and decisive, but he values Li Jiancheng instead..." Wang Xuance glanced at me Pei Ji, and said carefully and said what Xu Mu taught him.
As expected.
Pei Ji's face changed drastically as he listened.
As gloomy as water.
"He... really said that?" Pei Ji confirmed with a calm face.
Wang Xuance nodded repeatedly: "That's right! Everyone on the street could testify that day. Liu Wenjing scolded Pei Xiang and His Majesty in the street, for being disrespectful and incompetent, and it was contrary to the rules!"
Of course, the so-called witnesses naturally received Xu Mu's money.
Used for perjury.
After hearing this, Pei Ji suddenly stopped speaking. After a while, he was silent before he sighed.
It seemed like a major decision had been made.
Immediately, he turned around and stared at Wang Xuance with sharp eyes: "What kind of grudge do you have with Liu Wenjing? Why do you frame him?"
As a treacherous minister of the generation, Pei Ji knew the routine of frame-up.
Such a method can't be hidden from his eyes.
Now that the King of Qin is under house arrest, the Qin Palace will definitely be cautious in his words and actions.
Who is Liu Wenjing?
I must not dare to mess around with this joint.
So all this can only be framed by Wang Xuance.
After hearing this, Wang Xuance immediately knelt down with a heartbroken expression: "Pei Xiang! I am planning for Pei Xiang! Now everyone in Chang'an City knows that house arrest of the King of Qin is Pei's suggestion. Liu Wenjing holds a grudge. If the King of Qin does not fall this time, Liu Wenjing and the King of Qin will definitely take revenge in the future..."
In fact, in the original history, not long after Li Shimin ascended the throne during the Zhenguan period, Li Shimin cleaned up the people who offended him back then.
Faya, Pei Ji and others...
No one escaped.
All were exiled.
After hearing this, Pei Ji did not ask any more questions.
Now, it is no longer a question of whether he is framed or not.
But...
If you don’t die when you hit a snake, you will be devoured!
"I have accepted the white jade paper. What you ask for will be fruitful within three days."
As a treacherous minister, Pei Ji said with great principle.
Then, someone was sent to see the guests off.
Wang Xuance received the promise and immediately retreated and left Pei's mansion.
When he was in Pei's mansion, he was worried that if he couldn't do it well, Pei Ji sent him to prison...
After all, the lord's actions have always been unexpected. Fan Zhu once said that when he was in Luoyang, he was under house arrest by King Yang Tong of Yue for three days due to the kidnapping case...
...
at the same time.
Qin Wang Mansion.
Du Ruhui, the military officer of the law, Xue Shou, and the chief secretary Liu Wenjing were discussing important matters.
During the period when Li Shimin was under house arrest, as a capable general under his command, relying on the maintenance of the three people, everything in the Qin Palace was in order.
There is no sign of confusion at all.
Du Ruhui didn't say much, but at this moment, he raised the key point in blood: "This matter is under house arrest. In the final analysis, it is because of the Taibai Jingtian celestial phenomena and the one-eyed peacock!"
"This matter must be framed by someone. Taibai Jingtian cannot forge it, but the one-eyed peacock..." After a pause, Du Ruhui continued: "The one-eyed peacock is obviously framed by man. Although it was offered by Faya, behind it, the prince and others might be manipulated!"
What he analyzed is indeed very reasonable.
After listening to the book Xue Seo, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, thinking about his family affection, just put His Highness under house arrest. Everything in the Qin Palace is as usual. Obviously, he is giving us a chance to find out the truth as soon as possible and help His Highness restore his innocence!"
As Li Shimin's confidants, they knew very well that Li Shimin had no intention of rebelling at all.
At least not at this stage.
To be honest, this Taibai Jingtian came too early.
Finally, Liu Wenjing, a chief minister in his fifties, said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, then you and I will work together to investigate this matter! First, investigate the stonemasons in the city. In addition, you need to ask Zen Master Faya to come and ask him carefully about his excavation!"
Du Ruhui and Xue Shou nodded, and the three of them began to carefully formulate the direction for the investigation.
at the same time……
In the palace.
