At night, in the Palace of Dew.
After Li Shi Min finished reading the memorials, he sat on a chair with a worried expression.
When they were discussing the killing of the Tibetan prince, he realized that Pei Ji seemed to be looking for a way to punish Qin Yun.
Although he was around, he was not worried that Pei Ji would do anything to Qin Yun.
However, if this continued, he was worried that something would happen one day.
Just as Li Shimin was worried, Empress Zhangsun walked in from outside.
Seeing the worried look on his face, she asked,"Second Brother, what's wrong?"
"Pei Ji doesn't seem to be willing to let Yun 'er go." Li Shi Min sighed.”
"What? What's going on?”
Empress Zhangsun asked.
Li Shimin immediately told her about the murder of the Tibetan prince.
After Empress Zhangsun heard this, she said angrily," What a Pei Ji. The last time his grandson made a mistake, BenGong didn't hold it against him. Now he's looking for trouble again. Does he really think my Yun 'er has no parents?”
"If he dares to touch Yun 'er, bengong will kill his entire family!”
Hearing Empress Zhangsun's words, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little scared.
This was because he never expected Empress Zhangsun to dote on Qin Yun to such an extent.
"Don't worry, even if we can't find the murderer, I won't punish Yun 'er.”
Although the officials of Wannian County were responsible for the killing of the Tibetan prince, they were not the only ones.
However, it had little to do with Qin Yun.
On the second day.
Li Shimin went to court as usual.
As soon as the morning court session began, a eunuch entered the hall and cupped his hands at Li Shimin."Your Majesty, Wannian County Duke Qin Yun requests an audience outside the hall.”
" What? Qin Yun? What's he doing here?”
"The Prince of Tubo was killed. As the Duke of Wannian County, he should be helping with the investigation. How could he have the time to come to Chang 'an?”
Upon hearing Qin Yun's request for an audience, the officials immediately began discussing.
Li Shimin also frowned because he did not know why Qin Yun was in Chang 'an.
"Let him in."
Although he did not know Qin Yun's intentions, since his son was here, Li Shimin naturally wanted to meet him.
Soon, Qin Yun walked in from outside.
When he arrived at the center of the hall, he cupped his hands and said to Li Shiming,"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin raised his hand and said,"No need to be polite. Tell me, what do you want from me?"”
Qin Yun turned around and swept his gaze across the civil and military officials before finally looking at Pei Ji.
"I want to sue Pei Ji!"
"What? Sue Lord Pei?"
Hearing this, all the officials were shocked.
Being stared at by Qin Yun made him feel as though there was a knife on his back.
Li Shimin frowned." Qin Yun, what do you want to sue Lord Pei for?"”
Qin Yun said," I'll sue Pei Ji for allowing his grandson to act tyrannically in Wannian County. He bullies the people and has no regard for the law.”
"Second, Pei Ji is accused of colluding with the Turks and plotting rebellion.”
"Third, Pei Ji was accused of bribing assassins to assassinate the Tibetan prince. He used his power to take revenge and wanted to kill me.”
"You're simply talking nonsense.”
The moment Qin Yun said that, Pei Ji walked out and bellowed angrily.
"Lord Pei colluded with the Turks?”
"Yeah, is there a mistake?"
"Also, was the Tibetan prince assassinated by Lord Pei? That's impossible, right?"
Hearing the discussions of the officials, Li Shi Min frowned.
He believed that Pei Ji had allowed his grandson to act so tyrannically.
However, he did not believe that Pei Ji had colluded with the Turks to plot a rebellion and had hired a murderer to kill the Tibetan prince.
"Qin Yun, you have to speak with evidence. If you falsely accuse an official of the imperial court, it will be a serious offense.”
Li Shimin said as he looked at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun did not waste any time. He took out the letter he had found on the black-robed man and looked at Li Shimin."Your Majesty, this subject has a letter that Pei Ji wrote to the Turkic assassins. It mentions that he has connections with the Turks and that he ordered them to kill the Tibetan prince.”
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can compare the handwriting.”
Li Shi Min's eyes narrowed and he said,"Bring it up for me to see."
Soon, the letter was delivered to Li Shi Min.
There were many memorials on the table.
Pei Ji wrote one of them.
Li Shi Min immediately compared them.
After the comparison, he slammed the memorial on the table and said angrily,"The handwriting is indeed the same. Pei Ji, what else do you have to say?”
"Your Majesty, this subject is wronged."
Pei Ji suddenly knelt on the ground and cupped his hands towards Li Shi Min: "Ever since I followed the Retired Emperor, I have always been loyal to the Imperial Court.”
"That letter must have been deliberately framed by Qin Yun.”
Li Shimin said," I'm framing you. The handwriting on this is exactly the same as yours. You still want to deny it?"”
"The handwriting is exactly the same. Does that mean that it was written by him? Maybe he found someone to imitate him!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the hall.
A white-haired old man wearing a Golden Dragon Cannon walked in.
"Greetings, Retired Emperor."
It was Li Yuan.
Upon seeing Li Yuan, the civil and military officials hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed.
Li Shi Min quickly stood up and left the throne. He walked down the hall and looked at Li Yuan,"Father, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, would you have killed him?" Li Yuan said coldly.”
"The handwriting on the letter is exactly the same as his, even if I don't believe it, I can't."”
"So what if the handwriting is the same? Can't you find someone to imitate it?”
Qin Yun stared at Li Yuan and said with a frown,""What does Retired Emperor mean by this? Could it be that I deliberately framed Lord Pei?”
"Presumptuous, you are just a small Marquis of Ten Thousand Families, how dare you speak to me like this?”
Li Yuan shouted angrily.
Qin Yun faced Li Yuan in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He cupped his hands and said,""This subject has always been very respectful to the Retired Emperor, but the Retired Emperor has always protected Sir Pei. Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Retired Emperor?”
"You!"
The moment Qin Yun said that, the entire court fell silent.
No one expected Qin Yun to dare accuse Li Yuan of being the mastermind.
Li Shimin did not think too much of it, but when Qin Yun said that, he began to suspect Li Yuan.
