"Get out of the way!" Xue Rengui stared at Di Renjie and shouted angrily.

Di Renjie shook his head and whispered: "General Xue, if you swing your punch, you can certainly kill Changsun Wuji, but there will be a second Changsun Wuji, but you will no longer be able to serve the Tang Dynasty. The Tang generals have one general who can fight and can even harm your family."

Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard this and stood there silently. Yes, he is not alone now. He has a wife and children. This punch may kill Changsun Wuji and relieve the hatred in his heart, but he must have finished it and will even implicate his wife and children.

At this time, the Jinwu Guards behind rushed over and pointed at Xue Rengui with their swords. They dared to use martial arts in the Tai Chi Hall, and they were already very polite to point them with their swords.

Changsun Wuji survived his death and quickly took a few steps back. He was a person who had experienced great storms. He quickly calmed down and saluted Li Zhi with anger, saying loudly: "Your Majesty! Xue Rengui dared to commit murder in Taiji Hall. He wanted to murder the old minister. The real crime was unforgivable! Please punish him severely! He serves as a warning to others!"

The other ministers in the rear bowed and said in unison: "Please punish your Majesty severely! Take a warning to others!"

"Oh..." Li Ji shook his head helplessly when he saw this, sighing for Xue Rengui. They also wanted to beat Changsun Wuji, the old man, but they knew that what if they beat him, they would definitely be the one who was unlucky in the end. Xue Rengui was still impulsive, and he was not suitable for this court at all.

Cheng Yaojin whispered in a low voice: "It is a good thing to let Xue Rengui suffer some losses. If you learn from your mistakes, you will be wise. I am afraid that the old man of Changsun will take advantage of the problem and we must protect Xue Rengui."

"Well, that's right, you must keep him." Qin Qiong nodded vigorously.

Seeing that the ministers all asked to punish Xue Rengui severely, Li Zhi was helpless. Xue Rengui used military force in the palace, and the evidence was conclusive and he could not be cunning at all. So Li Zhi could only frown and asked in a deep voice: "Xue Qing, do you know the crime?"

Di Renjie winked at Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui wanted to confront him angrily. However, when he saw Di Renjie's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to surrender, bowed to Li Zhi, and said, "I know that I am guilty, but I lost my mind in anger, and almost made a big mistake. Please punish him!"

Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other when they heard this and nodded. Xue Rengui has wisdom. It seems that as long as he trained himself, he could still make a fortune in this court.

Seeing Xue Rengui say this, Changsun Wuji was quite surprised. He thought he would angrily say a few words, but he gave in so quickly. He also said that he had lost his mind and admitted his mistakes on his own initiative. This was a rhythm of turning big things into small things. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to get rid of Li Hao's arm, but Li Zhi had already spoken first: "Well, I think so, you have been scared by me just now. The blame is not light. I want to punish you severely, take away all your official positions and entrust them to the Dali Temple Prison. Do you feel convinced?"

Xue Rengui saluted again: "I am convinced, thank you for your gentle resignation."

Seeing that everyone did not object, Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's take it."

Xue Rengui said: "Your Majesty, I have another word. Treacherous ministers are ruining the country. Your Majesty must not listen to the slander of treacherous ministers. Li Hao is sincere in serving the country and has no intention of rebelling. I hope Your Majesty will observe clearly..."

Li Zhi's heart was thrilled when he heard this. Why did this guy offend these civil officials? It's a waste of time? If he continues to say this, he may not be able to protect him. He hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take it!"

Jinwu Guard carried Xue Rengui out. Even though Xue Rengui was held back, he still shouted all the way: "Your Majesty, the treacherous minister will ruin the country! The treacherous minister will ruin the country..."

Xue Rengui was taken out of the Tai Chi Hall, and his voice gradually faded away. All the civil officials were all dark-faced. Who would feel comfortable when they were scolded as traitors? Even Changsun Wuji's cheeks were as shameless as the ones.

They all knew that Li Zhi was deliberately protecting Xue Rengui. He seemed to have taken away his position and title and detained Dali Temple, but this trick sounded familiar. Yes, whenever Li Hao made a mistake, Li Shimin used this trick, which also detained his position and all titles, and detained Dali Temple prisons. It was almost exactly the same. Li Zhi had no experience as an emperor, but he would imitate it. How did Li Shimin punish Li Hao? He punished Xue Rengui as he did, and then waited for the news to pass, let Xue Rengui come out and restore his post, and everyone was very happy. From this, it can be seen that Li Zhi was actually quite smart. He could think of imitating his father's move in such a short time, and had good reaction ability.

Although Changsun Wuji was determined to curse Xue Rengui, he knew that relying solely on this matter, he could not defeat Xue Rengui. The most important thing at the moment was to get Li Hao back from Tubo first, and he must not make great contributions to conquer Tubo.

When Xue Rengui's voice finally disappeared, Changsun Wuji slowly bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, for the matter of Li Hao, all the civil and military officials agreed to seize the military power of Li Hao and Fan Lihua, and escorted Li Hao back to Chang'an for interrogation. The reasons given by the old ministers were impeccable. Please make a quick decision and write an imperial edict for the Secretariat."

Li Zhi's eyes turned around and said, "Don't be impatient, Duke Zhao is still worried about this matter, and not everyone agrees. It's better to lie back and discuss it." He began to imitate Li Shimin again. Now this move is a drag-on trick.

Li Zhi has participated in every court meeting in the past two years, sitting aside to listen to politics, seeing how his father competed with all officials. After learning for so long, he naturally summed up a lot of valuable experience. Every time his father was forced by the ministers, he would use the trick of dragging words and discuss it with one sentence, which was almost a hundred attempts, so he decided to give it a try now.

What a pity, Li Shimin is Li Shimin and Li Zhi is Li Zhi. Can the big tiger and the little tiger cub be the same?

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji suddenly shouted loudly and said passionately, "Your Majesty, this matter is about the survival of the Tang Dynasty, and it is urgent. Please make a decision quickly, and there may be changes later!"

As he spoke, his right index finger slowly stroked his chest, which was writing. Li Zhi stared at the words written by his right hand. After reading it, he suddenly shook his whole body and pointed at Changsun Wuji in shock: "Duke Zhao! You...you..."

Li Zhi's sudden change surprised the ministers. Li Ji suddenly frowned and whispered: "No, the old fox seems to be using something to coerce the emperor."

"What! It's outrageous! He dares to deceive the king!" Qin Qiong said angrily, and then prepared to go out to question Changsun Wuji, but was grabbed by Li Ji, who shook his head at him.

Cheng Yaojin also shook his head at him with a serious face and said, "Shubao, we can't fight the old fox this time. Since he wants Li Hao to come back, let Li Hao come back to deal with him. Don't worry, the purity will be clear, and Li Hao will not be punished."

"Yao Jin is right." Li Ji also said, "This old fox has been in charge for many years and has many followers. The three of us can't beat him, so we can only wait until Li Hao comes back."

"But... he deceived the emperor, he dared to coerce the emperor. Today is the day when the emperor ascended the throne." Qin Qiong whispered angrily. He and Li Shimin had a deep relationship. How could he remain indifferent when he saw the new emperor being bullied?

"I know." Li Ji whispered, "The emperor must have some handle in the hands of the old fox. We have nothing to do. Let's talk about everything when Li Hao comes back. Shubao, let's bear it for the time being."

Qin Qiong clenched his fists depressedly and sighed: "Oh! Just as you said, Tubo will not fight anymore, let Li Hao come back!"

Li Zhi was still looking at Changsun Wuji in shock at this moment, because the word Changsun Wuji just wrote on his chest was the word "Wu", and its meaning was self-evident. He was using Wu Meiniang to coerce Li Zhi. No wonder Li Zhi was so shocked.

"Please make a decision quickly! I'm afraid there will be a change!" Changsun Wuji ignored Li Zhi's surprise expression and called out loud again.

At this time, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong suddenly stepped out together and asked in unison: "I also request Your Majesty to recall Li Hao and return Li Hao's innocence!"

These three people suddenly came out like this, and the rest looked at them in shock, even Changsun Wuji was stunned.

Although I don’t know why these three people suddenly changed their minds, Li Hao’s friends all know that these three people are Li Hao’s uncles. There must be a reason for them to do so. So Li Hao’s supporters also asked in unison: “I’ll ask Your Majesty to recall Li Hao and restore Li Hao’s innocence!”

Now that things have come to this point, Li Zhi can say nothing more, and he has nothing to insist on. Just recall Li Hao, just recall Li Hao. Anyway, he will not be able to convict Li Hao, as long as Li Hao is fine.

So he said, "Okay, I will pass on my will to seize the position of Li Hao and Fan Lihua as the chief marching officer, and call him back to Chang'an to meet the saint."

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji suddenly said loudly, "Li Hao is suspected of rebellion, and he can be regarded as a suspect. He should send Yulin Army to take him back to Chang'an, imprison the Ministry of Justice, and the Third Department will conduct a trial!"

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and became angry. Even if he had a good temper, he still had his own bottom line. Although Changsun Wuji was his own uncle, he forced himself to take such a ruthless attack on his best friend in his own throne ceremony. How could he not be angry? In view of his own uncle, he suppressed his anger, revised his order, and said, "Then send Li Yuanzhong to lead the 500 Yulin Army to personally go to Tubo to escort Li Hao back to Chang'an, and detain Dali Temple prison. I personally interrogate it!"

"Your Majesty, you are detaining the Ministry of Justice, and the Third Division will conduct a trial!" Changsun Wuji insisted on detaining Li Hao in the Ministry of Justice, and the Third Division will conduct a trial.

A cold light burst out in Li Zhi's eyes and said coldly: "Duke Zhao, you should sit on the throne of me, right?"

Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard this. Seeing Li Zhi's extremely cold expression, he immediately knew that Li Zhi was angry, and a terror suddenly spread throughout his body. So he hurriedly bowed and said, "Old minister must not dare."

"Hmph!" Li Zhi glared and snorted coldly, turned to look at Ma Zhou, and said, "Ma Zhou, just draw an order as I said just now!"

"Yes!" Ma Zhou bowed and took the order.

"Let's talk about Li Hao when Li Hao returns to Chang'an. Before that, I don't want to hear a little gossip. Next, I will discuss the funeral of the First Emperor!"
