Chapter 79 The Imperial Seal of the State?
Well said!
Li Shimin clenched his fist in excitement.
Especially those two words of praise, they really touched his heart.
If these words had come from someone else, Li Shimin might not have been so agitated.
But this statement came from Wei Zheng...
Wei Zheng was an upright man who disdained lying!
Most importantly, after being criticized for so many years, I have finally achieved my goal.
"Wei Zheng!"
Ling Jing roared, his eyes bloodshot, "The King has shown you kindness and favor, yet you dare to insult him!"
"They're just serving their own masters."
Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Besides, did I scold him? I scolded you..."
Ling Jing's expression was extremely unpleasant.
In terms of eloquence, he was far inferior to Wei Zheng.
"Speak! Who told you that the princess left the city? If you reveal who was behind it, I can beg His Majesty to spare your life!" Wei Zheng began the interrogation.
Everyone perked up their ears.
Anyone who knows the princess route must be a big shot.
Once this is revealed, it could very well cause unrest among the powerful and influential in Chang'an.
Do you think I would say that?
Ling Jing sneered, "From the moment I was captured, I never intended to live."
"Ling Jing, back then you were also full of vigor and vowed to save the people from suffering."
Why has it become like this?
Wei Zheng sighed deeply: "Isn't the world at peace the very golden age we've always dreamed of?"
"I want to ask you a question: how much of your original aspirations do you still retain?"
Under Wei Zheng's questioning, Ling Jing's pupils suddenly contracted.
Original intention?
He certainly hadn't forgotten!
But the king is dead, how can he fulfill his original aspirations?
"I know you're eloquent, but I don't want to waste my breath arguing with you."
Ling Jing turned his head away, ignoring Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng frowned.
Trolls aren't afraid of losing arguments; they're not afraid of being ignored.
Just as he was pondering how to continue his persuasion, Wei Shuyu suddenly stood beside him...
"Ling Jing, you may not be afraid of death, but have you thought about your men?"
"To attack the princess of the reigning dynasty is a crime punishable by the execution of the entire family."
With a cold expression, Wei Shuyu began to speak: "You have hundreds of men under your command. If you pull out one radish, you'll bring out a whole bunch of mud. If you refuse to give in, not only will you die, but thousands of people will be implicated."
Wow.
Ling Jing's expression changed slightly, but he still replied unwillingly, "They were already prepared when they embarked on this path."
What kind of road is this?
Wei Shuyu retorted, "Restore the Great Xia? Dou Jiande has been dead for so many years, do you think the Great Xia can still rise again?"
"Avenge Dou Jiande? Let's not even talk about whether you can even get revenge. With your bunch of ugly and deformed people, I could crush them with a wave of my hand."
"Or perhaps..."
"Is avenging Dou Jiande just a pretext? Your real purpose is for your own selfish desires, to establish some great achievements?"
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit.
Previously, Ling Jing had intended to kill Wei Zheng.
Now Wei Shuyu is also launching a fierce counterattack.
Wei Zheng stroked his beard, quite pleased.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Ling Jing finally lost his composure.
"Then tell me, what are you trying to achieve by stirring up trouble?"
"Now that the world is at peace and the people live in contentment, what is it that you seek?"
"You think I was able to find you so easily because you're not careful enough?"
"no!"
"It's because your subordinates have had their rough edges smoothed out; they've gradually accepted living under the wing of the Tang Dynasty!"
"To put it bluntly, more than a decade has passed, and the morale of your subordinates has long since collapsed."
Well said!
Li Shimin sat in the head seat, his heart pounding with emotion.
Watching Lao Wei and Xiao Wei criticize outsiders together is incredibly satisfying.
"Shut up!"
As if a thread in his heart had been struck, Ling Jing roared suddenly.
Why should I shut up? Because I hit the nail on the head?
"Stop deceiving yourself."
"Your path to revenge is simply not going to work."
"You once aspired to rule the world; now you intend to overthrow it."
"If the Tang Dynasty falls apart, you will be a sinner to the world."
"You think you're very loyal to Dou Jiande? You think you're very capable?"
That's utter nonsense!
Thump.
Wei Shuyu did not stop there; he took another step forward, and his offensive became even more intense.
"Dou Jiande was born a peasant, and led a group of peasants to conquer a vast territory and establish the Great Xia Dynasty!"
Even in death, his life story can be described as legendary!
"Such a towering and upright man, would he need you to do something like stealing or cheating?"
"If you truly have a loyal heart, why didn't you come out to save Dou Jiande when he was captured?"
"He was executed after being escorted to Chang'an, giving you ample time to prepare!"
"But you didn't."
"You've managed to survive until now!"
"It was your cowardice that killed him!"
puff.
Faced with the aggressive tactics of the Wei family father and son.
Ling Jing finally couldn't bear it any longer.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You...you all!" Ling Jing's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
After Wei Shuyu suppressed the attack with firepower, Wei Zheng began to patiently persuade him...
"Ling Jing, it's not too late for you to wake up now."
“Confess the mastermind, and I can plead with His Majesty to spare the families of your subordinates.”
Ling Jing's pupils flickered, and his expression kept changing.
"Ha ha……"
Ling Jing suddenly burst into laughter: "Wei Zheng, is this your son?"
"good."
Wei Zheng nodded; previously, he was only satisfied with Wei Shuyu.
But now I feel a sense of pride in my heart.
"Laughable, lamentable..."
Ling Jing laughed bitterly: "I've schemed my whole life, only to be defeated by a child!"
The tone shifted abruptly, and Ling Jing became even more frantic...
"I've thought about it countless times at night, wondering if what I did was the right thing to do."
"The reason I hesitated to take action was because I was indecisive!"
"But do you know why I had to take action?"
"because……"
Everyone held their breath, just as they thought Ling Jing was about to reveal the mastermind behind it all, when Ling Jing suddenly changed the subject...
"Do you think I would say that?"
Damn it.
Wasn't he so angry that he vomited blood?
How can you still be so calm?
"Li Shimin!"
Suddenly, Ling Jing turned his gaze to Li Shimin: "You were lucky. Back then, Your Majesty did not adopt my strategy and was defeated by you."
"Now you're lucky again, you've got Wei Shuyu, which has caused all my plans to die in the womb!"
"But I'm not going to tell you everything!"
"You said I had the news of the princess leaving the city, who leaked it to me?"
"Who is funding the training of so many people I can train?"
"Li Shimin, although the Great Xia has fallen, your Great Tang is also riddled with holes, hahaha..."
Bang.
Li Shimin smashed the teacup in Ling Jing's face.
"Shut up!"
Li Shimin's face was so gloomy it could scare people to death.
All the ministers were trembling with fear and dared not speak.
"You don't want me to say it, but I'm going to say it anyway!"
Despite the blood streaming down his face, Ling Jing seemed oblivious, instead becoming even more frenzied.
His face contorted in a grimace, and he dropped another bombshell that shocked everyone...
"You know that after conquering the Turks, Li Jing retrieved the Imperial Seal of the State."
"But don't you know that the Imperial Seal of the State is a fake?"
"It really is the Imperial Seal of the State, haha..."
hiss.
Upon hearing this, all the ministers turned pale.
