The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

"Your Majesty, I am a member of the Boling Cui family. As soon as the news of the death of the head of the house, Cui Yan, came, I went to the Cui Mansion."

"In the secret room of the Cui Mansion, I found the death letter of the head of the family, Cui Yan."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian's heart skipped a beat.

I'm afraid that there are things about myself written in this desperate book!

"This death letter is written by Cui Yan, the head of the family. If County Duke Zhao is suspicious, he can have someone identify the authenticity."

"It said that Cui Yan, the head of the family, offended County Duke Zhao because of the bookstore incident and held a grudge for County Duke Zhao. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, County Duke Zhao actually had people smash all the stores of the Cui family."

"The head of the family, Cui Yan, felt that he had failed his ancestors and had no shame in staying in Chang'an anymore. He was also afraid of County Duke Zhao's revenge again, so his family moved out of Chang'an City."

"On the eve of my departure, I was afraid that I would be harmed by others and the murderer would go unpunished, so I wrote this suicide note."

"I never thought that Cui Yan and more than eighty members of the Cui family would all die outside the city."

"Please, Your Majesty, avenge my Cui family!" Cui Yushi was in tears at this moment, and felt that he was full of grievances.

Others see it as sympathy.

Li Chengqian handed the letter to the emperor.

After Li Shimin finished reading, his face became more and more gloomy.

If this continues, Zhao Chen will definitely be held accountable today!

"Guanyin Maid!" Li Shimin handed the letter to Queen Changsun again.

He didn't know whether he should reveal Zhao Chen's identity at this time.

If it is revealed and Zhao Chen can save his life, then the Tang Dynasty will be completely cut off from him in the future.

If he hadn't exposed it, how could Zhao Chen have escaped today.

Even if there are many loopholes in this so-called suicide note, as long as it was really written by Cui Yan, then no matter Zhao Chen’s explanation, it was Zhao Chen who killed Cui Yan!

Angry people have no ability to think.

Especially these angry and scared ones

People, even more so!

"Your Majesty, now that the evidence is conclusive, please convict Zhao Chen."

"Zhao Chen massacred eighty-two members of the Cui family in Boling. His crime cannot be pardoned. Your Majesty, please push him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him to comfort the souls of the Cui family in heaven."

"Your Majesty, you are an eternal wise king, and you should use sharp means to get rid of the sycophants around you."

Well, Li Shimin just wanted to punish Zhao Chen a little before, but now it's better for these guys to just push Zhao Chen out and kill him.

Li Shimin was very angry, but he didn't know how to speak for Zhao Chen.

Wei Zheng lowered his head and said nothing.

He didn't expect that the matter would reach this level.

Now, even the emperor can't force Zhao Chen to be saved.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong looked at each other, fists clenched together, but then slowly loosened.

They are not teenagers, so no matter how energetic they are, they cannot act on their own initiative.

"Your Majesty, although it is said that this suicide note exists and the handwriting is indeed Cui Yan's, there are many loopholes in it, which does not mean that County Duke Zhao is the murderer of Cui Yan and others."

"The Duke of Zhao County has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. We cannot jump to conclusions on this matter. We still have to find out the truth." Fang Xuanling's sudden words surprised everyone.

Fang Xuanling was a veteran of the emperor. Apart from helping the prince with government affairs before, he had never been seen as being on good terms with anyone.

Today I actually spoke for Zhao Chen!

"Your Majesty, the evidence is solid. How can we ignore the fact that Zhao Chen killed more than 80 people from the Cui family just because he contributed to the Tang Dynasty?"

"A merit is a merit, and a fault is a fault. I sincerely request your majesty to deal with Zhao Chen..."

"Old guy, don't be ungrateful

, believe it or not, I will chop you up! "Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it anymore.

This old guy from the Cui family made it clear that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Zhao Chen completely.

"Your Majesty, I have a humble life, and I am not afraid of threats from the Duke of the Kingdom. But if I die, I will be willing to sacrifice my neck to get justice for more than 80 lives of the Cui family." Cui Yushi cried, the miserable The voice almost made Cheng Yaojin rush over.

"Old thing..." Cheng Yaojin was stopped by Qin Qiong and could only scold him angrily.

"Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive, is it possible that Your Majesty still favors Zhao Chen?"

"If His Majesty cannot handle it impartially, then I will have no choice but to retire and return home!"

"The advice of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty is not as important as that of a yellow-haired boy. In the hearts of the ministers..."

"That's enough." Li Shimin slammed the table and stood on it with a cold expression, scanning everyone with a cold gaze.

Suddenly he closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, he became extremely quiet again.

"Zhao Chen is our hero of the Tang Dynasty. I will protect his life." Li Shimin said slowly.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty's move is a foolish move. Historians will definitely record it in the records. How will the world judge your Majesty in the future?"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Chen deserves to die!"

"Presumptuous." Li Shimin scolded coldly, his eyes falling on the officials who yelled the most fiercely.

Several people trembled and their voices stopped immediately.

"There are many loopholes in Zhao Chen's killing of eighty-two members of the Boling Cui family. Just one letter cannot be used as direct evidence. However, in order to reassure the people, I have decided to remove Zhao Chen... "

"Wait a minute, I have something to say!" Li Shimin was interrupted by Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen raised his hand and shouted with Li Shimin.

"What are you going to say?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and forced

He held back his anger.

He had already used the emperor's power to save Zhao Chen's life. This matter would be over soon. This boy interrupted himself at this time.

Is it because he doesn’t feel embarrassed enough?

After today, all kinds of rumors will definitely spread among the people.

Every one of them is a smear on his Li Shimin image.

"Zhao Chen, Your Majesty is not allowed to interrupt when you speak." Empress Changsun was also shocked.

In this situation, saving your life is more important than anything else.

If the ministers object again, Zhao Chen's life will really not be saved.

"Mother Qi, regarding the murder of Cui Yan, as the adults said, I, Zhao Chen, had someone do it..."

"Zhao Chen, do you know what you are talking about!" Queen Changsun was confused and her whole body was trembling slightly.

Xiao Li Zhi followed and was immediately frightened to tears.

The entire Tai Chi Hall fell silent, and only the cry of Xiao Li Zhi was heard.

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong's legs were weak, and they looked at Zhao Chen in disbelief.

Wei Zheng swayed and grabbed the pillar on the side to keep from falling.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, shook their heads, and sighed deeply.

Li Chengqian pinched himself and realized that the scene just now was not a dream.

Li Tai froze in place, even breathing stopped.

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen, with deep anger flashing in his eyes.

Now he wanted to rush over and slap Zhao Chen hard.

"I see that you adults are also fighting hard. Don't you just want to see me, Zhao Chen, die here today?"

"Yes, all eighty-two members of the Bolingcui clan were killed by me."

As if he was afraid that everyone might not hear clearly, Zhao Chen said it again.
