Upon hearing that Li Xian wanted to keep Yan He, Chen Renhao's face immediately turned green and he stammered in opposition.
"Isn't it right? What's wrong? Huh, Cui Fuyin, what do you mean, eh?"
Li Xian looked solemn, snorted with a stern face, and turned his gaze to Cui Jing, who was restrained.
"This, ah, this, since Your Highness has something to ask, I should stay. I have no objections."
Cui Jing was a third-rank official, so he was certainly not a useless fool. Just looking at Li Xian's attitude, how could he not know that Li Xian had ulterior motives for leaving Yan He? He couldn't help but worry that his family would be involved.
In his heart, he never wanted to keep Yan He as his general, but he did not dare to offend Li Xian, the increasingly famous prince, in person. After weighing the situation, he could only bite the bullet and agree to keep him.
"Lord Fu Yin, how is this..."
As soon as he heard Cui Jing's words, it was clear that his arm was turned outwards. Chen Renhao became anxious and spoke out against it regardless of his superiority and inferiority.
"How dare you, do you have the right to speak in front of His Highness? Why don't you back down!"
The reason Cui Jing stayed behind was because he was afraid that Li Xian would be offended. When he saw that Chen Renhao actually dared to argue, he immediately became angry. With the authority of a leader, he shouted and interrupted Chen Renhao's words.
"Yes, I will resign."
Chen Renhao's expression changed a few times, but in the end he still didn't dare to push himself forward anymore, so he could only bow and retreat to the back with a gloomy face.
"Your Highness, this matter is settled. I will allow you to retire for the time being. If your Highness can find Cui somewhere useful, you can send someone to summon you, and I will give you your full cooperation." Seeing that Dali Temple was about to become a den of disputes, Cui
Jing didn't want to stay any longer. As soon as Chen Renhao agreed to leave, he couldn't wait to say goodbye.
"Cui Fuyin is leaving, Xiao Wang won't see you off."
Li Xian came here just to make friends with Chen Renhao. As for Cui Jing, an old cunning guy, Li Xian had no intention of getting close to him. Now that the matter was over, he would not keep him any longer, so he smiled and waved to Cui Jing.
The scenery is at your convenience.
"Your Highness will stay, and I will take my leave."
When Li Xian opened his mouth to let him go, Cui Jing breathed a sigh of relief as if he had received an amnesty. Without any delay, he saluted and quickly evacuated with the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhao Mansion. His movements were as swift as running away.
It's worthy of a comparison.
"Master Yan, please stay here for a while. I will talk to you in detail later."
Li Xian stood silently for a moment, seemingly watching the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhao Mansion leave, but in fact he was observing the changes in Yan He's expression with the corner of his eyes, and immediately discovered that this man had a dull expression on his face from beginning to end.
, looked calm, and the suspicion in his heart was naturally a bit more intense, but Li Xiancheng's mansion was very deep, so he would not bring it to his face, he just gave an easy-going order.
"I obey, little one."
Yan He was neither nervous because of being detained by Li Xian, nor moved by Li Xian's easy-going words. He bowed and saluted expressionlessly and replied calmly.
"Well, that's settled then."
Li Xian didn't say anything more. He smiled and nodded in return. Then, he turned around and walked towards the Yamen of Dali Temple. When he walked not far from the Yamen, Li Xian slowed down.
He stepped forward and glanced at Gao Miao, who was following closely beside him, and whispered: "Gao Miao, I will go back to my house immediately and ask Taoist Priest Yujizi to come and keep an eye on the Yan River without any mistakes."
"Yes, slave girl, go right away."
Hearing what Li Xian said so cautiously, Gao Miao did not dare to be negligent, nor did he dare to ask for the truth. He hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly led several personal guards to ride towards the Prince of Zhou's Mansion...
…
I hope we are worrying too much, otherwise, the fun will be too much! Li Xian watched Gao Miao leave in a daze, then glanced at Yan He, who was vaguely surrounded by Ling Zhong and other royal guards, and smiled bitterly.
Li Xian shook his head, turned around, raised his feet and walked towards the Yamen of Dali Temple. As soon as he turned around the screen wall, he immediately heard a loud noise coming towards him. As soon as Li Xian heard this, his expression turned cold instantly and his steps tightened.
, people have walked into the lobby.
"Your Highness, your subordinates are all officials of the imperial court. The imperial edict has not stated that we should be detained. Is this your Highness's move that exceeds the limit?"
"May I ask, Your Highness, what crime have we committed and why should we be punished with detention?"
"I cannot accept His Highness's actions!"
"This is Dali Temple. If it is not His Highness's palace, why should we detain ministers privately? In what manner?"
…
In the lobby, a group of Dali Temple officials were noisy and bluffing. They didn't care that Li Xian, the chief judge, was shaking with anger. The situation was obviously completely out of control.
A bunch of bastards! Li Xian only listened to a few words and understood what was going on. They were just a bunch of old slickers who relied on their military empress as their backers and did not buy into Li Xian's account. He immediately became angry and secretly
He cursed and strode up the steps of the lobby. He was not in a hurry to enter the hall. He just stood at the entrance of the hall with a gloomy face and glanced at the chattering Dali Temple officials with an extremely cold look.
Silence is sometimes much more powerful than words, and this was obviously the case at this time. Even though Li Xian didn't say a single word after entering the hall, with that cold and cold gaze, all the Dali Temple officials could not help but feel overwhelmed.
A chill arose, and the shouting subsided unconsciously. Within a moment, it was silent.
No one said anything, and Li Xian didn't speak either. He just stared at Hou Shanye with sharp, knife-like eyes, which made the boss of Hou Shanye feel uncomfortable. He had to stand up with a smile and said: "I have met His Royal Highness King Zhou."
."
"Yes." Li Xian had no intention of returning the favor, and he didn't even give a smile. He just snorted from his nostrils, which was regarded as an answer. At the same time, his eyes staring at Hou Shanye showed no sign of constriction.
, it is still extremely cold.
"Your Highness, this, this, hehe, His Highness King Lu wants to detain all the officials of Dali Temple. I'm afraid this matter is inconsistent with the imperial edict. The lower officials are just discussing the matter." Hou Shanye has served in Dali Temple for many years, and the interrogator
He already has rich experience in criminal cases and his ability to withstand pressure is not low. But for some reason, when he came into contact with Li Xian's eyes, Hou Shanye felt overwhelmed and did not dare to look at Li Xian at all. He lowered his head.
, one group explained in a resigned tone.
"Yes, His Highness the King of Zhou clearly knows that we are high-ranking officials, so how can we illegally detain them? This is inconsistent with the law, and the officials are not convinced!" As soon as Hou Shanye finished speaking, someone in the crowd echoed with a strange voice.
said one sentence.
"That's right, that's right, how can you act like this? I'm not convinced!"
"That's right, I'll wait for a meeting to see the emperor and ask your majesty to uphold justice!"
"Yes, let's go, let's go, let's face the Holy Spirit!"
…
All the Dali Temple officials had been suppressed by Li Xian's momentum before, and no one dared to speak randomly. Now someone took the lead, and they all became chaotic. The situation was on the verge of getting out of control again.
A bunch of bastards who don't know how to appreciate others are looking for death! Being provoked by this gang of daring officials, Li Xian got really angry and shouted loudly: "Where are the Guards?"
"The end is here!"
Most of Li Xian's personal guards were busy setting up defenses outside the Yamen, but most of Li Xian's men were concentrated in the hall. When Li Xianhan shouted angrily, Wang Mingyuan, who had just been transferred to the Zhou Palace Dianjun, did not dare to neglect, and led
A group of personal guards rushed to the front of the hall.
"Wang Dian's army obeys the order. Anyone who dares to cross this line and leave the court without receiving the order will be killed without mercy!"
In anger, Li Xian stretched out his hand, pulled out a horizontal knife from the waist of a guard, slashed it on the spot, drew a scratch in front of his body, and issued a kill order decisively. As soon as he said this, all the officials in the hall were stunned.
After taking a look, the originally noisy scene immediately became quiet.
"Mo, I will obey the order!"
Not only the Dali Temple officials in the hall were shocked by Li Xian's murderous intent, but Wang Mingyuan was also frightened. While hesitating, he was glanced at by Li Xian's sinister eyes and couldn't help but slap him.
Shivering, how could he dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly bowed and accepted the promise, commanding a group of Zhou Prince's personal guards to set up defenses on the spot, blocking the entrance of the hall which was not that big, and it was so heavily guarded.
As soon as he came out, all the officials in the hall fell silent.
"You, stand up!"
All the officials were silent, but Li Xian didn't want to give up. He raised his hand, pointed at the official who was hiding in the crowd and made the strange noise first, and scolded him unceremoniously.
"Your Highness, your Majesty, your Majesty..."
The official pointed out by Li Xian was Qiu Shenfu. He wanted to move to the left and right to avoid Li Xian's glare, but unexpectedly the officials beside him moved faster than him. When he saw Li Xian, he pointed his finger at him.
, all ducked to both sides, exposing Qiu Shenfu alone. Poor Qiu Shenfu had nowhere to hide, so he had to stand up and stammered, not knowing what to say.
"You are so courageous. What you have done below is an unforgivable crime. You roared in court and blatantly disobeyed orders. You will not be able to escape the death penalty. As an official of Dali Temple, if you know the law and break the law, your crime will be increased. How can I allow you to be rampant?
So, come on, pull him down, beat him thirty times, and I will go to court immediately to impeach this thief!" Li Xianming knew that Qiu Shenfu was one of Empress Wu's confidants, but he deliberately did not ask his name, and several big hats came to him.
Button, and struck hard without any politeness.
"promise!"
The people standing at the entrance of the hall were all Li Xian's personal guards. After hearing Li Xian's words, they did not dare to neglect him. In response to the order, several guards swarmed up and held Qiu Shenfu up without hesitation, then forcibly pulled him down.
Go to the hall.
"Your Highness, wait a minute!"
Yuan Gongyu, who was originally watching with a cold eye, saw that the situation was not going well, and he could no longer hold his own. He hurriedly stepped out from the side, stopped in front of Qiu Shenfu, and shouted loudly.
Old guy, I finally stopped being a coward. Hey, I’m just waiting for you to jump out! When he saw Yuan Gongyu coming out, Li Xian’s mouth immediately showed a faint and almost invisible smile...
