Sparing no effort to attack Empress Wu's party is Li Xian's unswerving goal. At this point, Li Xian and the prince have a basis for cooperation, but it does not mean that Li Xian will advance and retreat with the prince. After all, the two parties are not on the same side.
, Cooperation is possible, and sharing the benefits is not bad, but it is absolutely impossible for Prince Li Xianwei to follow suit, let alone serve as a scapegoat for the prince. Therefore, even if the prince looks over with endless hope in his eyes,
Looking forward and even feeling guilty, what should Li Xian say? As for the matter of decision-making, Li Xian doesn't want to worry about it. You can just fight for it yourself.
"Father, I think that the words of the seventh brother are the way to run the country. This case is of great importance and cannot be ignored. With the talents of the seventh brother, if he presides over it, he can not only prevent the traitor from escaping, but also protect the court.
I sincerely ask my father for a clear warning." After all, Li Hong was young and energetic, and he felt that he had the upper hand. After only thinking for a moment, he took the lead to express his position.
"Well, Xian'er has always been prudent in dealing with things. I have always known that. Now that I am in charge of the trial, it will be up to Xian'er to make the judgment before we continue this chapter. Mei Niang, what do you think?"
Gaozong was still very confident about Li Xian's ability. He originally planned to stuff this hot potato into Li Xian's arms. When Li Hong suggested this, he was right. He was just worried about what Empress Wu would do.
Happy, he looked at the solemn-looking Empress Wu and asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Seeing that both Emperor Gaozong and the Crown Prince had expressed their opinions, even if Empress Wu was dissatisfied, she could not say it openly at this time. She could only give a compliment or vaguely deal with it.
"Well, that's good, Xian'er, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't let it go to waste. Justice should come first in everything. I hope Xian'er can resolve the case as soon as possible. I don't know what Xian'er might do.
No?" Seeing that Empress Wu had no objection, Gaozong took advantage of the situation and made his decision.
"It is the duty of children and ministers to share the worries of their father. Children and ministers dare not shirk it, so they should do their best to do it."
He knew that this was a hot potato, but Li Xian had to take it. Besides, there were still some things that Li Xian really couldn't worry about if he let others go. As for how the case would be decided, we could only wait and see, of course.
Yes, the general principle of attacking Empress Wu and her party will never change.
"That's very good. This case has been hotly debated for several days. It's time to end it. Now go and get busy. I'll be waiting for your chapter in the morning court tomorrow." Gaozong really didn't want to let it go.
The impact of this case has further expanded. Although I know that there are many strange things behind this case, I don't want to delve into it any further. This is the conclusion I have made, which can be regarded as an end to this irritating game of forced abortion.
"Yes, I obey, I will retire."
Since Emperor Gaozong had issued an order to expel guests, Li Xian did not dare to stay any longer, so he bowed and agreed, turned around, exited the palace on his own, and went back home...
The possibility of deciding the whole case in one and a half days can only be described in one word - extremely slim. Doesn't it make sense? It's very simple. Even though He Lan Minzhi has already confessed and has such a sharp weapon as the account book in hand, but
Just detaining all the officials involved in the case and coming for verification is not a task that can be completed in a day and a half, let alone the entire case that must be adjudicated in accordance with the law. Gaozong gave this time limit for one purpose - hoping that Li Xian could make the big issue a trivial one.
, it’s a trivial matter, don’t involve too much, that’s all it means, Li Xian can understand this, but he never wants to follow it like this. In this way, this penalty
How to choose has become a big problem facing Li Xian.
Headache, huge headache, it is obviously impossible to catch them all in one go. As for catching the big ones and letting go the small ones? It’s really hard to say which one is the big one and which one is the small one - Li Xian, the bachelor from the North Gate, wants to clear out the gang of prostitutes in Dali Temple. Li Xian He also wanted to eradicate them completely, but Li Xian didn't want to pull them down, so he just kept looking at the list of officials involved for most of the day. Li Xian couldn't make up his mind, and he was extremely annoyed. .
"Gao Miao, what are you doing sneakily there?"
Li Xian was in a very upset mood. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of Gao Miao poking his head at the screen at the door of the study. He immediately became a little angry. Then he drooped his face and drank angrily.
"Your Highness, it is Duke Di who is here."
Li Xian had previously issued an order saying that there would be no outsiders. Even the people sent by Prince Lu to inquire about the news were turned away. As for other visiting ministers, they were all blocked. Gao Miao was The general manager of the palace did not dare to violate Li Xian's rules, but Di Renjie was an exception. After all, among so many courtiers, there were very few who could be called "Mr. So-and-so" by Li Xian, and Di Renjie was one of them. First, since he came to visit, Gao Miao did not dare to make a decision without authorization, but he was also afraid of shocking Li Xian's thinking, so he hesitated at the door of the room. At this time, hearing that Li Xian's tone was not kind, Gao Miao did not dare to make any decision. He hurriedly reported what he had concealed.
"Oh? It's Mr. Dee who's here, why don't you invite him quickly?"
Before the He Lanmin case occurred, Li Xiansheng was afraid that Di Renjie would be plotted by Empress Wu, so he told him to stay home early because he was sick. Later, when he was busy with the trial, he really forgot that he had Di Renjie, a master of solving cases, beside him. When Li Xian heard about Di Renjie's visit, Li Xian's heart immediately became excited. He didn't care much, stared at it, and shouted impatiently.
"Ah, yes, slave, I'll go right now."
Upon hearing what Li Xian said, Gao Miao immediately felt relieved, knowing that Li Xian would not care about his behavior of interrupting his meditation. He smiled, accepted the promise, and hurried out of the house.
"I have met Your Highness."
Di Renjie came very quickly. Shortly after Gao Miao left, Di Renjie, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the study. He bowed to Li Xian who stood up to greet him, and greeted him with a smile.
"Gong Di has come just in time. Gu Zheng has something to ask for advice. Please sit down and talk."
Li Xiansheng was cautious by nature. Although he always regarded Di Renjie as a loyal minister, he rarely brought up those shady activities to discuss with Di Renjie. Basically, they mostly exchanged political experience and occasionally exchanged some opinions on current affairs. The relationship between them was generally more of a friendship between gentlemen than a relationship between monarch and minister. When faced with such a difficult problem, Li Xian didn't know where to start for a while, so he gave up his seat to Di Renjie. After that, some words became stuck.
"Is Your Highness worried about He Lanmin's case?"
Di Renjie sat down, and the servant boy in his own study served him freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they all left. After the servant boy left, Di Renjie glanced at Li Xian, who had a solemn expression, and lightly stroked his chest. Changxu smiled and asked.
"It really made Mr. Di laugh. This is indeed the case. Well, the whole story of this case is a long story, so I'll just summarize it briefly. Then He Lan Minzhi..., now that the matter has come to this, I can neither do it nor I don’t want those young people to run rampant in the court. I wonder what Mr. Di has taught me.” Di Renjie had already mentioned the case straight to the point, and Li Xianzi couldn’t hide it anymore. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the truth of the case. The inside story was described in detail, and at the end, he did not forget to mention what was bothering him.
"Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is merciful. He does not want to intensify conflicts. His intentions are good. However, how can water and fire be compatible? This matter must be settled sooner or later. Hesitation at this time is really not a blessing for the court.
Yes." Di Renjie listened quietly to Li Xian's introduction to the case. At the end, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he shook his head and said with emotion.
There is no such thing as family affection in the affairs of the Tian family. If you insist on putting family affection first, the consequences will naturally be self-humiliation. Li Xian knows this very well, but this truth can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
Even with someone as close as Di Renjie, Li Xian didn't want to discuss such matters with him. Faced with Di Renjie's emotions, Li Xian could only remain silent.
"Your Majesty is lying, please give me some advice, Your Highness."
Di Renjie was not only not annoyed at all by Li Xian's silence, he was actually quite excited, because only those who have seen through the nature of the Tian family can remain undefeated in the battle of the Tian family. Obviously, Li Xian is
As a wise man, it is undoubtedly a blessing for such a wise person to meet the Master of Ming. However, he was happy, and Di Renjie did not forget to apologize.
"You don't have to be like this, Mr. Di. It's just like the saying that people can't help themselves in the world. Although my father is the emperor, it's still difficult to escape from this law. That's all. Let's not talk about it. Now that the matter has fallen on me, we must
It is difficult to cover everything, and I can only do my best. Mr. Di is good at making judgments. Is there any good strategy?" Li Xian shook his head with a wry smile, and after making a casual comment, he turned the topic back to Helan.
On the sensitive case.
"What your Highness said is wonderful. People can't help themselves in the world. Well, haha, since it's hard to cover everything, it can't be better. Why don't you let others bother you?" Di Renjie laughed and gave a high-five, and then asked Li
Show a word.
"Let others worry? This..."
Upon hearing Di Renjie's words, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then murmured something. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he had a clear understanding. He thought about it along the way, and suddenly he became enlightened.
"Okay, let others worry about it. Di Gong is smart and Gu can be taught by me. In this case, I will ask Di Gong to worry about Gu for a while." After thinking clearly about the key, Li Xian raised his eyebrows.
He laughed and made fun of Di Renjie.
"His Highness has given orders, and I dare not disobey them. I'll just worry about it for the time being."
Di Renjie was very resourceful. As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he knew that Li Xian had completely understood what he meant. He was secretly shocked by Li Xian's understanding, but he was also very happy for the person he had entrusted, so he laughed.
He replied.
The eyes of the host and guest collided, and they burst into laughter at the same time. The laughter rippled in the study room and spread to all directions...
