Chapter seven hundred and eighty fifth Di Renjie made meritorious deeds
"So that Master Di can know that although I have not witnessed this with my own eyes, I have visited many injured soldiers of the Yulin Army, and what I have told you is true. I wonder if Master Di has any questions?"
After all, Li Zhen was not a simple person. With just a thought, she had vaguely seen through the possible ambush behind Di Renjie's question. She rolled her eyes slightly and gave a clear answer with a smile.
There is indeed an ambush hidden in Di Renjie's first question. If the King of Yue's answer is just a matter of hearing, then what awaits the King of Yue next is a question that is difficult for the King of Yue to deal with - according to court regulations, only the censor can hear about the matter. All other officials, including the Prime Minister and Fu, do not have this authority. As long as Di Renjie introduces this article, it will be enough to prevent the King of Yue from coming to power. As for the so-called impeachment case, naturally there will be no more cases. It is a pity that the King of Yue will not come to power. He was not fooled, and he was very cautious in his answers, leaving no clue for Di Renjie to make any comments.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue is indeed a thoughtful person, and I have received a lesson from you. I just wonder if His Highness the King of Yue visited those soldiers and their names. Can you tell me their names?"
Although the King of Yue responded very appropriately, Di Renjie did not feel disappointed, because he knew that the traitors in the court like the King of Yue were very slippery, and it would be impossible to find the opponent's flaw without using some strong medicine.
"Of course, I have more than thirty autographed confessions of Yulin Army soldiers here. If Master Di needs it, you can verify it yourself."
The King of Yue dared to impeach Li Xian in court, so he was naturally prepared. Even when faced with Di Renjie's tricky questions, he did not panic at all. He stretched out his hand, took out a stack of documents from his wide sleeves, and directed it at Di Renjie raised his head and answered confidently.
"Oh? Then this official needs to know a thing or two."
Di Renjie raised his brows, as if he didn't quite believe what the King of Yue said, but he didn't question it directly, but asked to read the so-called confession text.
"Master Di, please take a look."
Li Zhen originally just wanted to declare the legitimacy of her impeachment in text, and had no intention of actually handing these documents to Di Renjie. However, what she said before was too full. At this time, things were not going to change. In desperation, she had to Neng took a few steps forward and handed the stack of documents into Di Renjie's hands.
"Well, these confessions are quite detailed, but I wonder which of them were personally interrogated by His Highness the King of Yue?"
Di Renjie unceremoniously took the stack of documents handed over by Li Zhen, looked over them carefully and quickly, and then asked a question with a solemn expression.
"I have personally asked everyone above the rank of captain. If Lord Di doesn't believe it, you can go and check it yourself."
Upon hearing Di Renjie's question, Li Zhen's heart sank involuntarily, for no other reason than that although he had prepared all these materials, they were all handed over by Pei Shoude, and he himself had never touched them at all. Those so-called witnesses who were being pursued by Di Renjie so relentlessly made them a little flustered. However, the city was so deep that they did not reveal any flaws, and the confidence in their words did not diminish at all.
"Well, I would like to ask the prince a question. There is Dong Zhong, the commander of the third battalion of the Haw Par Battalion. I think the prince must have seen him before. I don't know how tall this person is and whether he is fat or thin."
Li Zhen responded so confidently that if it had been anyone else, he would have been fooled by him. After all, this was the imperial court. Without confidence, who would dare to entangle Li Zhen, a dignified prince and prime minister? Mr. Fu, if you fail to question Li Zhen, the outcome will definitely not be very good. Unfortunately, Li Zhen met Di Renjie, a master of solving cases. In addition, he already had a plan in mind, so how could Li Zhen be easily defeated? He was deceived, right? As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, Di Renjie hurriedly started asking questions.
"this……"
When asked by Di Renjie, Li Zhen was immediately blinded. He had no choice but to do it. He had never seen this so-called leader of the third team of the Haw Leopard Battalion. How could he know his appearance and characteristics? Did he intend to fool around?
But he was also worried that Di Renjie really knew this person, and if he got the answer wrong, the fun would be really small. Poor Li Zhen hesitated for a long time, but did not dare to tell the reason.
"Master Di, what do you mean by this? Why are you so entangled in such a trivial matter? Is there something wrong in your heart?"
Li Chong was already impatient. When he saw his old father being questioned and sweating on his forehead, he immediately got angry. He rushed to Li Zhen's side with a few strides, pointed at Di Renjie angrily, and fought back angrily.
One sentence.
"Why did Mr. Li say this? Di just asked His Highness the King of Yue for advice, so why bother? Since His Highness the King of Yue personally recorded the confession, shouldn't he not even be able to remember who the confessor was?"
Di Renjie was completely unfazed by Li Chong's evil deeds. He spread his hands and asked in surprise.
"you……"
As soon as Li Chong got angry, he completely forgot that this was the center of the court, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to burst out with nonsense words.
"snort!"
Before Li Chong's curse came out, Li Xian, who was sitting indifferently under the front porch, snorted coldly. To others, this snort was not very loud, but to Li Xian who was so angry, he snorted coldly.
Li Chong, who was locked in, felt like a heavy drum was ringing in his ears. His whole body began to tremble involuntarily, and he could no longer speak any more words.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue has invited me. If you really can't remember Dong Chongzhi's appearance, it doesn't matter. I'll replace him with someone else. Well, there's a formal program of the Fourth Team of the Tiangang Battalion here. You should have an impression?"
Although Di Renjie was curious as to why the furious Li Chong suddenly lost control, he did not delve into the reason. He looked at Li Zhen and continued to ask questions reluctantly.
"..."
Li Zhen was completely dumbfounded by the question this time. Who knew that he had overstated his words before? Now there was nothing to care about. In desperation, he had no choice but to turn his attention to the high-ranking official.
Empress Wu, he was counting on Empress Wu to speak out to help him out.
"Ahem."
The reason why Empress Wu brazenly launched the impeachment of Li Xian this time was certainly for some reason, but it was not one of them to bring down Li Xian in one fell swoop. It was nothing else. If Li Xian could be brought down so easily, then
Empress Wu had already done this, so there was no need to wait until now. Of course, it was okay to try the possibility, but she never expected that the prince's side only sent out one Di Renjie to mess up the whole good situation.
A pot of porridge, seeing that the King of Yue has been defeated, it is inevitable to feel disappointed. However, she still has to use Li Zhen now, no matter how reluctant she is, she can only do it with all her strength, so she pretended to cough twice and said
All the courtiers' attention was attracted.
Although Empress Wu used a fake cough to relieve Li Zhen, she did not want to give up her attempt to defeat Li Xian in one fell swoop. Naturally, she was unwilling to expose the matter easily, so she quietly gave Liu Yizhi a look.
, signaling him to stand up and fight Di Renjie in the ring.
"I would like to inform you that Disinong is confusing right and wrong by getting entangled in trivial matters. He has ulterior motives and should be investigated thoroughly!"
Liu Yizhi acted under Empress Wu's secret orders several times, but failed to achieve the slightest gain. Now he is a marginalized figure in Empress Wu's group. However, he has been too deeply involved in the Hou Party and cannot do anything at all.
He escaped and went out with the public to impeach Li Xian, but in fact he did not make a very drastic performance. He just followed the crowd. However, he did not expect that even though he had kept such a low profile, he was still beaten by Empress Wu.
After being selected, I could not help but feel a little bitter in my heart, but I didn't have the courage to act as ordered. In desperation, I had no choice but to stand up and speak loudly.
"My Majesty, I have learned that I think Master Liu's words are wrong. The Prince of Yue blatantly impeached His Highness the Crown Prince and swore that he had real evidence. How could he be afraid of testing? If so, I would like to ask Mr. Liu, why do you do this?"
To impeach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Others were afraid of Empress Wu's ruthlessness, but Di Renjie didn't care at all, and didn't give Liu Yizhi any face, so he pressed the question directly.
"..."
Liu Yi stood up unprepared, but he never expected that Di Renjie would ignore Empress Wu's threatening gaze and just burn the flames of war on him. He couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.
"I am reporting to you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is the foundation of our country. He has always been virtuous and capable, and is supported by all the people in the world. Now, King Li Zhen of Yue dares to slander His Highness the Crown Prince with untrue things. This is a truly treasonous and unethical act. If we are not held accountable, how can we serve the public?"
I would like to suggest that our sinister intentions should be investigated thoroughly in order to bring peace to the people of the world!"
Di Renjie did not intend to quarrel with the rear party members. He singled out Li Zhen as the initiator of the impeachment case. The label of "treason" was unceremoniously slapped on him.
"Xian'er, what do you think of Master Di's proposal?"
Seeing that she could not convince Di Renjie, Empress Wu's face suddenly turned ugly, but soon returned to calm. She turned her head to look at Li Xian, who was sitting still, and asked with a half-smile.
Haha, the old thief still doesn’t give up at this point!
Li Xian saw through Empress Wu's intention at a glance. He just didn't want Li Xian to stay out of the matter. He couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but he didn't bother to talk to Empress Wu. He just stood up and saluted, and then remained silent.
He sat down again without saying a word.
"Buzz..."
When Li Xian stood up, all the ministers and workers thought it would be the beginning of another heated debate, but they did not expect that Li Xian actually came into Cao's camp with Xu Shu. For some reason, private discussions suddenly broke out.
stand up.
"snort!"
Seeing that Li Xian could not be caught in several traps, Empress Wu knew that it would be difficult for this impeachment case to have a good result. If it continued to be so tough, Li Xian would not be brought down, and he would be
Li Xian took a big bite. This was not a situation that Empress Wu was happy to see. In view of this, Empress Wu snorted coldly, pretending to be angry, said nothing more, stood up and walked to the back hall.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that Empress Wu had left, Cheng Denggao, who was waiting on the front porch, did not dare to neglect. He roared at the top of his voice and led a group of eunuchs and maids to chase Empress Wu. When all the officials saw this,
, he didn’t dare to stay any longer, and all the chaos was dispersed, and a large-scale impeachment case of the crown prince came to an end...
