Chapter 135: Torture

Of course Luo Cheng could identify who the two speakers were.

His ears have been specially trained, and his discernment is absolutely superb. He can identify whether the mosquito is an acquaintance who came yesterday.

Sometimes not being able to hear or hearing certain sounds can be the difference between life and death.

Therefore, top generals must have extremely good ears.

However, when Luo Cheng heard who it was, he was surprised again.

Do Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin still have a consensus? Otherwise, why would they take the same actions and say the same words at the same time?

Obviously, both of them knew what Li Yuanji was going to say.

That is what these two people are trying to hide.

Besides the royal scandal, what else do the two of them work together to cover up?

The problem is that if Li Shimin wants to cover it up, he must get the approval of Wei Zheng and Xu Ji, otherwise he may not be able to cover it up.

As for Li Jiancheng, I guess no one takes him seriously.

So do Wei Zheng and Xu Ji support or oppose Li Shimin's ideas?

Luo Cheng was immersed in the situation, and of course he knew the importance of this matter. He clearly felt that the air was becoming solemn.

What happened next proved that Wei Zheng and Xu Ji did not agree with Li Shimin.

However, he did not reject him directly, but adopted a roundabout strategy. There was no conflict, but his attitude was clearly stated.

Wei Zheng asked in a deep voice: "Li Yuanji, continue, who ordered you to kill Luo Cheng? Don't feel uncomfortable."

Under the heavy pressure of Wei Zheng, Li Yuanji really couldn't bear it, but his eldest brother and second brother had already ordered him not to speak, so did he dare to speak?

It was a surprise just now, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage.

Now he regrets it to death. He knew that there was such a big trouble and he wouldn't get involved even if he was beaten to death.

Now it's like all the burdens are on him. If he doesn't carry it, no one else can. He can't carry it. It's very pitiful.

He looked at his elder brother: "Brother! I..."

Li Jiancheng had no idea where to start even if he wanted to help carry it.

Besides, does he really want to help? He wants to find a scapegoat to get rid of him.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin again and asked him to call him dad at this time!

"Second brother, give me a hand..."

Li Shimin has this desire and the ability. He doesn't really want to pull Li Yuanji, but he doesn't want him to account for the person behind him.

He knows that that person is his father!

It is well known that my father favored Li Jiancheng and tolerated him and Li Yuanji doing all kinds of bad things.

It would be strange if there was no support from that foolish old man for such a major event that killed Luo Cheng.

However, once that was revealed, he would no longer be able to behave as a human being.

Even if you insist on righteousness and righteousness, can you still kill your father?

Therefore, he knew that if he protected his father, he would definitely have a quarrel with Wei Zheng, Xu Ji and others, and the great cause of the emperor would probably be ruined.

But what kind of son would I be if I couldn’t take care of my family relationship with my father?

So he had no choice but to bite his head and said to Xu Ji, Wei Zheng and others again: "Is this okay? Let these two people be thrown into the sky prison and imprisoned for life.

"The late emperor was also banned from leaving his residence for life. As for Li Yuanji's confession, forget it."

No one else said anything, because this was already the greatest victory, and they would be satisfied even if they did not pursue the victory.

But Wei Zheng spoke.

"Since His Majesty insists, we will follow suit; but since the way is different, our brothers should hang up their hats and go home.

"As a family, everything can be easily discussed and handled.

"Our brother Luo Cheng is dead. From now on, you can just take care of his orphans and widowers."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately dumbfounded.

The relationship between him and these people is not a simple one of monarch and minister.

It's a relationship that has been shared through life and death for many years. Without them as brothers, what's the point?

Even if he killed Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng, he would not let a brother go.

Wei Zheng's few words were like a ladle of cold water, making Li Shimin wake up from a dream.

At the same time, he also understood that the eve of the final victory was actually the most dangerous moment.

Isn't this the time when all the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys are cooked?

Wasn't Luo Cheng's death the first lackey to be cooked?

The first one is cooked, are the others far behind?

Once this understanding is confirmed, won't everyone be in danger?

Every one of those people is a genius, how could they not see this step?

I lament that I am still thinking about this and taking care of that, but why can’t I see the grievances of these loyal ministers and good generals?

I am not a wise king, nor a good friend, nor even a good friend.

No wonder Li Shimin is a Mingjun because he stepped back from the brink at the critical moment of becoming a Mingjun and returned to the right path of a Mingjun.

If he hadn't repented and turned back decisively, the Tang Dynasty, which was just about to win, might have turned around and followed the same path of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin ignored the cold sweat all over his body, grabbed Li Yuanji's chin with a ferocious expression, and said viciously.

"Tell me! No matter who it is, tell me. If you dare to miss a word, I will chop you up."

Li Jiancheng was shocked: "Second brother, you are crazy. That cannot be said. The matter involves Emperor Gao..."

Li Shimin said: "Shut up! The guards will keep an eye on him. If he dares to talk nonsense again, I will cut out his tongue."

Li Jiancheng was really anxious, and regardless of the consequences, he shouted: "You are an unfilial descendant who kills your own flesh and blood for outsiders and disobeys your parents..."

Li Shimin said: "Guard, give me a hundred slaps on the mouth, and keep your tongue first. I have something to ask later."

Two guards who specialized in talking came up and stood in front of Li Jiancheng.

Asking Li Shimin for instructions: "Excuse me, should each person be given a hundred blows, or a total of one hundred blows?"

Li Shimin, who was in a state of anger, almost burst out laughing when he heard this nonsense.

Forgetting that these two people were confused, he himself was also affected, he said.

"No matter what, you just watch."

Then, I heard the sound of "bang" and "slap" coming unhurriedly.

The strange thing is that Li Jiancheng didn't continue shouting.

Later I found out that these two slap experts had told Li Jiancheng as always: "When I hit you, you can yell or yell.

"But if you don't yell or scream, the spanking will be reduced a bit.

"You can shout if you want. Just shout once and add one more mouth.

"To make it clearer, if you shout, the beating will be in vain."

As a result, although an execution item was added to the scene, it did not add much noise.

Work on other projects as you should and proceed as usual.

Seeing this formation, Li Yuanji no longer had any illusions and quickly took the initiative to explain himself.

"Second brother, let me tell you everything. It's entirely up to the second brother to decide..."

Li Shimin said: "Debts have their owners and their grievances have their owners. You killed Luo Cheng, Wei Zheng, Xu Ji and their brothers. Of course, they will deal with it."

"You can only explain the matter clearly and use it as a basis to decide how to deal with you."
