Chapter 256 Joining forces to force the palace (1)
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, calm down, calm down, come down, go down, go down, go down..."
The evil spirit on Li Xian's body was extremely strong. Even if he did not use all his strength, it was not something that a weak scholar like Liu Yizhi could bear. Under the heavy pressure, Liu Yizhi's nerves were stretched to the limit and he was trembling all over.
It didn't stop, but Liu Yizhi was quite stubborn. He refused to give in and stammered in his mouth.[..com]
"Master Liu, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter if you say it, just listen."
When Li Xian saw Liu Yizhi being so tough, he felt some appreciation in his heart. Moreover, Li Xian didn't want to give someone a hand, so he calmed down his momentum and spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the account books alone are not enough to convict Mr. Hou. It should be noted that reciprocity is inevitable. Even if Mr. Hou gave some small gifts to the criminals, it was just a common sense of the world. After all, it is different from bribery.
, please give your Highness a clear warning."
As soon as Li Xian lost his momentum, Liu Yizhi's body immediately relaxed, and his courage began to rise. He cupped his hands without being arrogant or humble, and talked freely. Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, it was also somewhat
The truth is.
"Master Liu, please take a seat." Li Xian casually pressed his hand and motioned Liu Yizhi to sit down. Then he flipped through the account books slowly and fiddled with his fingers for a while before speaking with a look of surprise on his face.
Said: "Mr. Liu, if I just count with my fingers, in less than ten years, the total amount of property that Mr. Hou has sent to the criminals' homes has reached more than 8,000 yuan, and the amount of money Mr. Hou received from his salary is only this amount. This kind of courtesy exchange is unexpected.
Is it so big? Gu is very confused and asks Mr. Liu for some advice."
"Ah, this, this..."
Liu Yizhi was known for his eloquence in the court in the past. This time when he met Li Xian, who was even more superior, he immediately felt dwarfed by him. He held his neck straight and hesitated for a while, but could not say anything.
So suddenly, I was so anxious that my face was as red as blood and I was sweating profusely on my forehead.
"Come here, please bring Hou Shanye down to the hall!"
Li Xian ignored Liu Yizhi, who was blushing, and shouted in a loud voice.
"I will go on my own, right and wrong have their own justice. Your Highness has acted so wantonly, I will definitely impeach you!"
Hou Shanye was very stubborn. Seeing that Li Xian was determined to take down him and he did not want to be humiliated in vain, he became angry and strode down the hall without saying anything.
If you want to impeach me, you have to be alive! Li Xian glanced at Hou Shanye with disdain. He had already sentenced him to death in his heart. He was too lazy to care about a dying man, so he glanced at him.
Helan Minzhi, who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, said in deep thought: "Wu Minzhi, the Hou Shanye involved in the case has been captured by Gu, so you can tell the truth."
"Hey, Your Highness, what else do you want to know? Just ask, there's nothing untoward to say."
Helan Minzhi laughed happily, raised his head nonchalantly, and responded with a stinging tone.
"That's very good. I'd like to ask you, the first article of the chapter: I am favored and spoiled. As an official of the imperial court, I have repeatedly left my post without permission. It can be said that I have made many mistakes. Can you plead guilty?" Li
Xian did not care about Helan Minzhi's frivolous behavior, but quietly began to ask questions formally.
"Yes, why don't you admit it? There are historians here even if you don't admit it. If you check it, you can find out. Why bother to go to all the trouble? He confessed to all the ten major crimes!" He Lanmin tilted his mouth and replied impatiently,
Confessing all the ten deadly sins in one go.
Damn it, this guy is really broken! Li Xian has learned He Lan Minzhi’s rogue spirit many times, but now seeing him acting aggressively in court, he can’t help but feel a little angry and angry.
It was funny, but I was really too lazy to follow him, so he shook his head slightly and said: "Since you have confessed to all ten crimes, then just sign and post it. Come and give me your confession and pen and ink!"
"Your Highness, please wait."
Seeing that what was supposed to be a protracted interrogation was about to end in such a childlike manner, Liu Yizhi became anxious. Regardless of the embarrassing situation he had just been punished by Li Xian, he forcibly stopped him with words.
"Master Liu, do you have any other insights?"
Seeing Liu Yizhi coming out again, Li Xian was not in a good mood and sneered coldly.
"I don't dare. I just have some superficial knowledge. Your Highness, please give me a listen."
If possible, Liu Yizhi absolutely did not want to compete face-to-face with Li Xian. However, Hou Shanye had been captured, and now he was the only one left to fight alone. The overall situation was at stake. Even if Liu Yizhi no longer wanted to,
The only option is to bite the bullet and fight Li Xian one more time.
"speak."
Li Xian raised his brows and said something out of his mouth as if he was extremely impatient.
"Your Highness clearly knows that all the crimes Wu Minzhi admitted may be true. However, there are many courtiers involved in Article 3, and it is probably not possible to rely solely on one side of the story. This is a serious matter, so it is better to be more cautious.
." Although Liu Yizhi's scalp was numb, he still spoke very smoothly, and he was quite neither arrogant nor humble.
"Oh? Then according to Mr. Liu's wishes, how should this matter be handled appropriately?"
Li Xian nodded thoughtfully and asked as if he was sincerely asking for advice.
"It's not just the official's lies. This matter will ultimately require a clear edict from the Holy Spirit before a thorough investigation can be carried out. I suggest that the case be shelved for the time being and that we can make a decision only after the situation is reported to Your Majesty." Li Xian's attitude was obviously a bit off.
To Liu Yizhi's surprise, when he couldn't understand what Li Xian was thinking, Liu Yizhi could only explain it cautiously.
"Well, Mr. Liu's concerns are reasonable. It is impossible to interrogate all ministers and workers without the decree of the father of the emperor. However, one thing is another thing, and he alone leads the order to thoroughly investigate and supervise the imperial censor Xiao Ming's impeachment of Lantai Taishi.
Wu Min's case, now that Wu Minzhi has confessed, the case should be closed. As for the follow-up steps, Mr. Liu might as well go with Xiao Wang to meet the saint." After Li Xian pondered carefully for a moment, he then
He gave an answer, and immediately, no matter how ugly Liu Yizhi looked, he loudly issued an order: "Come on, let Wu Minzhi post the painting immediately!"
"promise!"
Now that Li Xian had made up his mind, the several clerks in the British Palace who were responsible for recording did not dare to be negligent. They each agreed loudly, and walked to Helan Minzhi with the confessions they had compiled separately, and congratulated him.
Lan Minzhi signed and stamped each one one by one without mentioning it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, this..."
Liu Yizhi heard Li Xian speak smoothly before, and really thought that Li Xian agreed to his suggestion, but he never thought that Li Xian would resolve his reasons with just a change of subject.
He politely covered her up, but immediately felt dizzy and didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness, the confession has been signed and deposited. Please take a look at it."
Li Xian ignored Liu Yizhi and did not go to talk to the prince and others. He just sat on the throne with a solemn expression, like a clay sculpture. It was not until a British official came to give an order that Li Xian He straightened his body, said nothing, reached out and took the stack of confessions from the clerk's hand, flipped through them quickly, and went through them at a glance. When he saw that there was no mistake at all, he immediately let go of his worries. More than half.
"Brother Prince, I am fortunate to have lived up to my father's trust. Now the case has become clear. Please give me a clear explanation, Brother Prince."
Li Xian calmly finished his confession, held it in both hands and walked to the prince who was sitting beside him, bowed and respectfully asked for instructions.
"Okay, the seventh brother has made a great contribution. Father, I think you have been waiting for a long time. Without further delay, I will report back to father immediately, clear out the traitors, and restore the peace of the Tang Dynasty. Yan Xiang, Le Xiang, you two Does the boss have any advice on this?"
The opportunity that he had been looking forward to for many years finally appeared. Even though Li Hong was calm by nature, he could not help but became angry. The hand he stretched out to accept the confession trembled involuntarily. After a while, he breathed slightly. Only then did he regain his composure, and hurriedly looked through the confession, and asked Yan with a smile on his face, to which Erxiang said happily.
"Old ministers, please obey the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yan and Le came here for this purpose. When they heard Li Hong speak, they naturally did not object. They each stood up and responded respectfully.
"Seventh brother, let's go to see our father together!"
The situation was complete, and Li Hong couldn't wait to force him into the palace. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up, greeted Li Xian, and headed out.
"Brother Prince, please go ahead and let me finish the case and then meet up with Brother Prince, okay?"
Li Hong was extremely anxious, but Li Xian was very stable. He didn't want to make any mistakes while busy. If Empress Wu took a desperate risk again, the fun would be small, and Li Xian had to be on guard.
"this……"
Upon hearing what Li Xian said, Li Hong couldn't help but be stunned - Li Hong was very eager to defeat Empress Wu's party in one fell swoop, and the evidence he had at the moment was enough. However, without Li Xian's cooperation, Li Hong could not help but be stunned. He still couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart. Furthermore, Li Hong was also worried that Li Xian would play tricks on him behind his back, so he refused to let him out of his sight. After a slight hesitation, he still held it down. Feeling the urge to set off immediately, he said in an easy-going manner: "That's good, there's not much time left, so I can just stay here with my seventh brother."
"Okay, brother Prince, please wait a moment."
With Li Xian's IQ, he could see through Li Hong's little tricks at a glance. However, Li Xian didn't take this opportunity to plot against Li Hong, but he didn't bother to argue with him, so he responded politely. After that, he issued the general order on his own and explained clearly the details of the handling one by one.
At one end, Li Xian gave orders in an orderly manner, while at the other end, Liu Yizhi saw that the situation was irreversible. When no one was paying attention, he quietly stepped aside, strolled out of the hall, got on a carriage, and galloped towards the imperial city. went……
