The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace. Du Kefa saw the black-armored guards behind the carriage and knew that it was Princess Changle.
The maid helped Chang Le down from the carriage. Du Kefa went up to him and asked softly,""Why are you here?"
When Wei Zheng saw Princess Changle, he bowed and greeted her.
In the darkness, Princess Chang Le's voice was filled with reproach." I heard that you were stopped outside the palace and hadn't left, so I came to see you. Didn't you promise me that you won't make Imperial Father angry?”
Du Kefa was touched. Princess Chang Le had actually come to see him. It was obvious that she had placed him in her heart.
"I have something important to discuss with His Majesty.”
"Must it be today?"
Du Kefa nodded heavily. The Deputy of the Court of Judicial Review had reported the results of the joint hearing between the three divisions. From Hou Junji's arrogant expression, the Emperor should have punished him.
"It has to be today, otherwise it will be too late.”
Princess Chang Le let out a long sigh and asked,""Is it because of Dang Renhong?"
Du Kefa nodded again, not saying anything.
"Why do you have to punish Dang Renhong? If you do this, you'll really make Imperial Father angry.”
Du Kefa looked at Princess Changle solemnly." Dang Renhong has committed many crimes. If I let him go, the people will definitely complain.”
Chang Le was silent for a while." Aren't you worried about our engagement?”
"If His Majesty really breaks off the engagement, I will break into the princess's manor and kidnap you. Let's wander the martial world and be an immortal couple.”Du Kefa replied loudly.
"Du Lang." Princess Changle seemed to be moved by Du Kefa's words." Since you're determined to see Imperial Father, as his wife, I'll go through thick and thin with my husband!”
Chang Le said and was about to enter the palace when Du Kefa stopped her.
"What's wrong? You don't want me to help you?"
"Of course not." Du Kefa pointed at the file on the ground.
"Show these to His Majesty. After this case is settled, I'll be with you forever.”
To be together forever. Princess Chang Le's face was red. Fortunately, it was dark and no one could tell.
For a moment, she didn't want to help Du Kefa.
She ordered the maid to carry the scroll and enter the palace.
The Royal Guards did not stop her.
In the Imperial Palace, Empress Zhangsun and Li Shimin were chatting when a eunuch came in to say that Princess Changle wanted to see him.
"Changle? She must have come to plead for mercy on behalf of Du Kefa. I won't see you." Li Shiming didn't want to see anyone related to Du Kefa. If Wei Zheng was willing to follow Du Kefa, then he would wait outside.
Empress Zhangsun didn't know whether to laugh or cry." Your Majesty, this will hurt Changle's heart." Quickly let her in."
Empress Zhangsun ignored Li Shimin and directly summoned Changle in.
Princess Changle came in with her maids and bowed to the two of them.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother."
"Changle need not be so polite, quickly come to mother's side.”
Changle sat beside Empress Zhangsun and the two of them held hands and chatted.
"What did you bring?" Empress Zhangsun looked at the file in the maid's arms.
"Replying to mother, it's Du Fu…It's the dossier that Lord Du wanted to submit to father.”
"No."
"Father." Princess Changle was arrogant." Just take a look."”
However, Li Shimin was unmoved. Empress Zhangsun tried to smooth things over,"Let mother see what Dukefa is presenting.”
The servant girl put down the files. Empress Zhangsun picked up one and looked at it. Her face gradually darkened.
After reading one scroll, she quickly picked up another scroll and exclaimed softly," Ah!”
"What's wrong with Guanyin?" Li Shi Min asked with concern.
Empress Zhangsun handed the dossier to Li Shimin," Your Majesty, please take a look at these dossiers. The contents inside are really shocking."”
Li Shimin frowned slightly, but he did not refuse. He took the file from Empress Zhangsun and read it quickly.
His expression became as serious as Empress Zhangsun's. After reading one scroll, he picked up another and quickly skimmed through them.
Princess Chang Le heaved a sigh of relief and a faint smile appeared on her face. She was very happy to have helped Fuma.
Li Shi Min's breathing became heavier and heavier. His face was filled with anger, and it twitched from time to time.
"Bold, Dang Renhong is too bold. How was this a governor? He was clearly the local emperor of Nan Ning Prefecture. Is this true?"
Li Shimin and the others answered, but they didn't hear any response. They looked up and saw that there were only Empress Zhangsun, Princess Changle, and some maids around them. Only then did they realize that this was not the court.
"Your Majesty, if you want to know if this is true, you can call Du Kefa in.”
"Pass down the imperial decree, order Du Kefa to quickly come to the Purple Imperial Hall to see zhen.”
Outside the palace, Du Kefa rubbed his hungry stomach, hoping that Princess Chang Le would come out soon.
Wang De quickly appeared and brought him into the Imperial Palace and into the Purple Mansion Hall.
There was no one in the hall. Du Kefa waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before he saw Li Shiming come in angrily. Behind him were a few eunuchs holding dossiers.
When Li Shi Min saw Du Ke Fa, he asked anxiously,"Can you guarantee that all the records in the dossier are true?”
"Your Majesty, I can't guarantee that everything is true, but this is what I found out.”
Li Shiming was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He thought," To think that I would forgive you like this. For you, I even gave up the face of the royal family and trampled on the law of the Supreme Court. However, your crimes are enough to behead you more than ten times."
" Your Majesty, many people have mentioned that Dang Renhong privately built a manor with strong defenses in Nan Ning Prefecture. He was extravagant and lustful, and hid many women who were either plundered or bought. The authenticity of this matter can be easily verified. We only need to send someone to Nan Ning Prefecture to investigate.”
When Dang Renhong first met Li Shimin, he cried that he had embezzled money to feed the families of the soldiers who had died and injured in the past, which aroused Li Shimin's sympathy.
As long as the manor was proven to exist, Li Shimin would know that he had been deceived by Dang Renhong.
Du Kefa knew very well whether the manor existed or not, and Li Shi Min knew even better.
"Your Majesty, this is only a part of Dang Renhong's crimes in Nan Ning Prefecture. The people of Nan Ning Prefecture who lost their families need a fair explanation.”
"Enough." Li Shimin slammed the table and stood up angrily. A tall file fell onto the table." Du Kefa, immediately lock Dang Renhong up in the Supreme Court and investigate his crimes thoroughly." I want to see how much crime he has committed.”
Li Shimin was furious that Dang Renhong had deceived him.
Du Kefa didn't take the order to leave." Your Majesty, I request Your Majesty to send someone else to the Ministry of Justice to arrest Dang Renhong. I'm worried that someone will stop the Supreme Court from enforcing the law.”
He deliberately emphasized the Ministry of Justice and the obstruction.
Li Shimin was reminded by Du Kefa that he had already issued an edict to punish Dang Renhong. Perhaps Dang Renhong had already left Chang 'an.
"I'll see who dares to stop me. Someone come."
Wang De came in trembling with fear. Li Shimin said,"Send 500 black-armored guards to follow Du Kefa to arrest Dang Renhong. If anyone dares to stop him, he will be arrested and brought to the Supreme Court.”
