The Longxi Palace was very lively tonight. A conflict broke out between the Dali Temple guards and the palace guards, and the two sides almost came to blows.
Li Boyi refused to go to Dali Temple and ordered his men to beat up the guards of Dali Temple with sticks. Wei Zheng, the minister of Dali Temple, was furious when he got the news. He immediately went to Jingzhao Yin Dugu Huaien personally and asked him to arrest Li Boyi.
Dugu Huai'en was woken up by Wei Zheng in his sleep. He endured the anger of getting up, and with a gloomy look mobilized Jing Zhaoyin's troops to surround the Longxi Palace.
"Xuancheng, have you found out?" Dugu Huaien looked at the dark night sky and said: "If something goes wrong, we surround the clan and county prince's residence without authorization, and the crime is not small."
Wei Zhengdao: "Whether we can find out or not is the next best thing. Chen Qingqing, the descendant of Dali Temple, anyone will come. If the King of Longxi doesn't come, it would be suspicious. Don't worry, Sir Dugu. If something goes wrong, I will be responsible for it alone."
What I want is your words.
The reason why Dugu Huaien cooperated with Wei Zheng was entirely because of the relationship between Wei Zheng and the prince. If it were anyone else, he would have ignored him.
"Don't say I didn't remind you that if the clan breaks the law, Zongzheng Temple is usually responsible." Dugu Huaien looked at the plaque of Longxi Palace illuminated by torches.
Wei Zheng snorted coldly, "It is a serious crime to kill someone, and you cannot indulge in it."
Dugu Huaien pursed his lips and stood with his hands behind his back.
Inside the mansion.
Li Boyi heard that Jing Zhaoyin also sent out troops to surround the palace, and he felt on pins and needles.
"Wei Zheng, Dugu Huaien, they are so brave!"
"Your Majesty, the top priority now is to send someone to inform Zong Zhengqing and ask him to alleviate the crisis. The worst is that your Majesty has gone to Zongzheng Temple, so it is better to go to Dali Temple." An aide said: "I heard that this
Wei Zheng is a cruel official. There are more than 300 old pieces of eucalyptus in Dali Temple, all of which are made by him alone, and are widely involved. He is also a confidant of the prince. If it falls into his hands, the king will be in danger."
Li Boyi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, you are right, send someone to find King Changping."
Although the people from Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple surrounded the palace, they could not cover everything in the deep courtyard.
The people sent by Li Boyi successfully sent the news out, and the king of Changping, Li Shuliang, learned of the situation.
"Wei Zheng, so brave!"
Li Shuliang was wearing a middle coat and was burning with anger.
In the past, he had heard that Wei Zheng, with the crown prince behind him, was running rampant in Chang'an, arresting prisoners, and frequently besieging the government to seize people, regardless of whether they were high or low.
Now they are targeting the clan. What does this mean?
Slap me, Zong Zhengqing, in the face?
"Here comes someone!"
"Here." The guard clasped his fists.
Li Shuliang said in a deep voice: "Gather your hands together and follow me to the Longxi Palace!"
"yes!"
The sound of horse hooves was noisy, and Li Shuliang rushed to the scene.
He sat on the horse and looked at Wei Zheng and Dugu Huaien coldly.
"Wei Zheng, it's already a curfew. How dare you violate the imperial decree and go to war to disrupt Chang'an's peace? Do you know your guilt?"
When he opened his mouth, he asked for guilt.
When Wei Zheng learned that King Changping had arrived, he knew that someone had gone to inform King Changping. He secretly regretted that at the beginning, he should have sent more people to take the King of Longxi directly to Dali Temple.
Dugu Huaien bowed his hands to King Changping and said: "Your Highness, King Changping, please calm down. Because the King of Longxi was involved in a murder, we have come to invite him to Dali Temple to have a talk."
"Not bad." Wei Zheng followed up and said, "That's it."
Li Shuliang said: "If the clan makes a mistake, I will be responsible for it. I don't need Wei Siqing to pay attention to it. You can go back."
"No!" Wei Zheng sternly refused.
He didn't even have to think about it. Once he handed the person over to Li Shuliang, there would be no trace of the case!
"presumptuous!"
In an instant, the two sides were at war with each other.
At this moment, a horse came from the dark night.
"stop!"
There was a loud shout and everyone turned to look.
Li Zhen rode out of the darkness.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given an order for everyone to go to the Criminal Department immediately!"
Seeing that it was Li Zhen, Li Shuliang and others immediately clasped their fists and agreed.
Soon, the guardsmen who followed Li Zhen took over the scene, took Wei Zheng, Li Shuliang, Dugu Huaien, Li Boyi and others under their control and sent them to the Criminal Department.
After completing the matter, Li Zhen did not go back to resume her duties, but left Chang'an with her men overnight and headed for Chencang.
At the same time, Li Zhiyun, who was in the Prince's Mansion, also received the news.
He was wearing a snow-white coat and sitting by the couch with an expressionless face.
At his hand, the second son Chengyan was fast asleep, drooling all over his mouth. Huaiyang came over with a swaying figure, offered tea to Li Zhiyun, wiped the drool from the corner of his son's mouth, and then sat next to her husband.
"Husband, don't be impatient."
Li Zhiyun finished drinking the herbal tea and put the teacup on the couch with a 'bump'.
"I'm not in a hurry. It's none of my business. Why should I be anxious?" Li Zhiyun's lips sneered.
Regarding Li Boyi's matter, someone in Fuyi had already sent him a message.
After reading it at that time, Li Zhiyun thought that the local government would report it to the local government step by step, and Dali Temple would eventually fall into disgrace. Therefore, he did not intervene.
After all, once he intervenes, it will be easy to expose his spying on officials.
But he never expected that this matter had been concealed for several days, and then Chencang County Lieutenant Liu Rengui overstepped his rank and complained!
Can this be tolerated?
This shows that the officials below are no longer colluding, but are conspiring to deceive the superiors!
There is such a thing happening in the capital of Gyeonggi and at the feet of the emperor. So what will be the situation in all states and counties in the world?
How many injustices have not been redressed?
He didn't even dare to think about it.
Huaiyang gently stroked his back and said slowly: "Ruling a country has always been like this. A husband should not do something irreversible out of a moment of anger. You must think twice before doing anything."
Li Zhiyun took a deep breath and then spit it out.
He hugged Huaiyang gently, "It disturbs your rest."
"No." Huaiyang shook his head gently.
The next day.
What happened in Chang'an last night is spreading everywhere, and all kinds of gossip are flying in the sky.
Ministry of Punishment.
Huangfu Wuyi looked up at the sky with his hands behind his hands, looking very melancholy.
The Xingbu squatted with several mouth-scalding gadgets. He didn't sleep well last night. He didn't want to try this thrilling feeling again.
"I'm old and can't bear the trouble anymore."
Perhaps, it's really time to retire.
The new prince had no contact with him and stayed shamelessly, just to increase the prince's disgust.
"Huangfu Shangshu is in his prime, how can we talk about being an old man?"
A hearty laugh came, and Li Zhiyun stepped over.
Huangfu Wuyi quickly saluted, "See His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No courtesy." Li Zhiyun helped him up.
Li Zhiyun has no objection to Huangfu Wuyi. Although this person is impartial, he is better at following rules. Keeping him in the Ministry of Punishment for the transition is a good choice.
Therefore, he never touched Huangfu Wuyi.
"How are those people?" Li Zhiyun asked as he walked.
Huangfu Wuyi said: "When I return to Your Highness, I will be locked up in the prison, waiting for Your Highness to go to trial."
"Locked?" Li Zhiyun was slightly surprised.
Well, it seemed that Huangfu Wuyi had misunderstood what he meant. His original intention was to control these people and make them calm down.
"Is there any quarrel?"
Huangfu Wuyi smiled bitterly, "You'll know when your Highness comes and takes a look."
Li Zhiyun nodded and led the people, accompanied by Huangfu Wuyi, to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
In Chang'an, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment has the same status as the prison of Dali Temple. Those who can get in can only get out unless there is someone behind them.
Generally, most prisoners who come in cannot get out.
