Chapter 28 Problems
Although Wang Fei was wrongly accused by several people and did not instigate rebellion, his usual evil deeds in the capital sounded different when everyone told them one by one at this time.
The emperor was still angry.
Li Jiuzhou also felt that Wang Fei was a little miserable, but then he thought about it, he had already enjoyed all his glory and wealth, and he deserved it for being so domineering on weekdays.
The trace of pity for Wang Fei disappeared in his heart.
Yang Guozhong was still unwilling to give up and winked at An Lushan and Chen Xilie.
"Sage, how should we deal with the matter of Prime Minister Li?" Yang Guozhong asked softly.
The emperor seemed to remember something and turned to look at Li Linfu.
After finishing dealing with the king's beast, it was Li Linfu's turn.
"Li Right Prime Minister, tell me about you."
Li Linfu showed his dutiful smile at this time.
"I don't know what the sage is asking about?"
The emperor patiently said, "Yang Qing, please talk to him."
Yang Guozhong's words were sharp and did not mince words. "According to Xing Wei's confession, Wang Wen was responsible for the rebellion, and the person who instigated it was Shi Lang. Shi Lang colluded with Abu Si and secretly became father and son in order to plot rebellion. There were An Jiedushi and Abu Si's old general.
As a witness.”
"That's right." An Lushan also said softly, his voice so soft that it didn't match his fat body. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Linfu.
"Li Youxiang, how do you want to explain?" Compared to Wang Xian, the emperor seemed more willing to listen to Li Linfu's explanation.
Li Linfu already understood what was going on, and still had a smile on his face.
"Back to the saint, it is true that I and Abu Si were father and son, but that was before Abu Si's rebellion. After Abu Si's rebellion, I severed the father-son relationship with him."
Li Linfu said and looked at Xing Wei again.
"As for this person, I have said before that if Wang Wen was ordered by me, how could Wang Wen bring people to my house to commit murder that day."
After hearing this, the emperor felt that this was also the case. He nodded and said, "What Prime Minister Li You said makes sense. You are loyal to the country and have worked hard, but you should not act too wantonly. I don't care whether you know about Wang Weld's rebellion or not. Read
Since you have been so loyal and loyal over the years, I don’t blame you.”
After the emperor said these words seriously, he stood up and left.
Although he did not punish Li Linfu, he already had a grudge in his heart.
Yang Guozhong, An Lushan, and Chen Xilie were panicked.
The three people rushed forward to stop the emperor.
"Why, you also want to stop me?" The emperor looked at the three of them.
Yang Guozhong bowed and said: "Back to the saint, the crime of treason must be punished. There are all the witnesses at present. There is no basis for what Shiro said. He put himself out of the matter with just a few words, which is difficult to convince people."
An Lushan also said: "When it comes to the safety of the country, a saint cannot be soft-hearted for a moment."
The emperor glanced around and caught a glimpse of Li Jiuzhou, who was silent at the side.
"Li Shaoyin, what do you think?"
This is an excellent opportunity to bring down Li Linfu. If Li Linfu is not punished at this time, I am afraid he will take revenge after he returns.
Li Linfu is a very petty person. If he takes revenge, they may not be able to match him.
But looking at the emperor's behavior, he obviously intended to let Li Linfu go. Now that he was asked, Li Jiuzhou was in a dilemma.
Gao Lishi walked to the side and tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Li Shaoyin, the saint is asking you something, in front of the saint, but it's okay."
Li Jiuzhou had no choice but to say ambiguously: "I am the person handling the case. I always only believe in evidence. I believe that this matter should be investigated thoroughly."
"Haven't we already conducted a thorough investigation? How should we investigate? Okay, you don't need to say anymore. How to deal with the king's eagle, Jingzhao Mansion will decide."
The emperor glanced at Xing Wei, who was still trembling, and said, "As for him, drag him out and behead him."
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.
The Jinwu guards followed the order and immediately dragged Xing Wei out.
Accompanied by Xing Wei's voice: "Li Jiuzhou, you lied to me, you will die badly..."
The imperial study became quiet, and several people looked at each other. Now, the situation became awkward.
This time there was a falling out, and several people were openly enemies of Li Linfu.
Li Linfu was the first to snort and walk away.
Several people also came to Yang Guozhong's house to discuss the funeral arrangements.
There was no talking along the way, and it wasn't until the palace retreated that everyone dared to speak.
Yang Guozhong's face turned red and white, but he did not forget to stabilize the morale of the army: "Now that the matter has come to this, it is difficult to get off the tiger, so we should work together as one."
"What Mr. Yang said is absolutely true. He, Li Linfu, doesn't have three heads and six arms, so there is no need to be afraid of him." An Lushan said this so that he felt confident. After saying this, he did not forget to look around, for fear that the walls might have ears.
"Okay, let's discuss it in the long term." Chen Xilie also expressed his position.
Yang Guozhong asked Xianyu Zhongtong: "What does Xianyu Gong think?"
Xianyu Zhongtong had been frightened for a long time. How could he dare to speak at this time?
Seeing that he was not doing well, Yang Guozhong was very angry.
Li Jiuzhou didn't wait for him to ask, and said to himself: "Although the saint did not punish Li Linfu this time, Li Linfu has actually lost half."
Several people were stunned, "Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Jiuzhou made a brief analysis: "The saint didn't say anything, but he was already suspicious of him in his heart, and he handed over the matter of dealing with the king's pheasant to the Jingzhao Mansion. This is to test us."
Yang Guozhong didn't understand what he heard and asked: "Why is it a test?"
"Right now, whether or not to kill the king is a difficult question. The princes should take advantage of the saint's anger to continue to impeach the king."
Li Jiuzhou looked at the few people and continued: "If Wang Fei dies, we will have one less opponent. This is not what Li Linfu wants to see, so he will definitely try his best to let Wang Fei go."
Several people asked in unison: "If he releases the king's pheasant, isn't he afraid that the saint will blame him?"
Li Jiuzhou asked back: "Don't you see that the saint actually doesn't want to execute Wang Fei?"
Several people agreed, "That's the truth."
Yang Guozhong thought about it carefully: "Yes, as long as Li Linfu comes forward to protect the king, our chances of winning will be much greater."
After saying that, he once again threw the problem to Li Jiuzhou: "Li Shaoyin, I have always been very satisfied with your work, so I will leave this matter to you."
Li Jiuzhou opened his mouth helplessly, but did not refuse.
How to deal with the king's pheasant was originally a task assigned to Jingzhao Mansion by the sage.
What he said makes sense, strike while the iron is hot.
For several days in a row, the emperor was troubled by the news about Wang Fei's impeachment in the court.
In the past, Wang Fei was arrogant and offended many ministers. Now he was imprisoned, and there was a cry of crusade in the court.
There are also exaggerated words. Under the impeachment, Wang X became a man who committed all kinds of evil.
The emperor became impatient, and Xianyu Zhongtong came to ask why Wang Fei had not been dealt with yet.
At this point, Wang Fei could no longer be saved, and there was no third person to block Yang Guozhong's sword rain for Li Linfu.
Moreover, as soon as he died, he was convicted of treason. There was no evidence to support his death. As long as there was no in-depth investigation, it would be even more difficult for Li Linfu to clear himself of the charge of colluding with Wang Zhi to rebel.
