Chapter 309:-for-tat, meticulous
June 1st, I wish all the babies in the world a happy and healthy life!
The Xuanhe Hall was already full of courtiers.
There was a murder in Dali Temple last night, involving General Zhao Kuo, the commander of Jiuyuan, and Meng Baiyan, the little marquis of Chengle.
Su Pintuo, the imperial historian, was standing quietly at the head of the hundred officials at the moment, standing side by side with Zuo Xiang Wu Fanzhong, waiting for the emperor to go to court.
Wu Fanzhong glanced sideways at Su Pintuo, just as this person also looked at him, both of them had disdain in their eyes, and they didn't say hello, but they just bowed slightly, knowing that this place would be a place for the two people to compete secretly in a while, so the two of them moved, and with the separation of the two, there were several people behind them who were divided into two columns, and the boundary was drawn very clearly.
"The emperor is in the early dynasty!"
Li Zongzhi walked up to the main hall in a few steps, did not sit down, and raised his hand to stop the bowing of the hundred officials.
"There is no need to salute, and there is no need to recount the incident of Dali Temple last night, I only ask how to solve this matter. ”
"Emperor Chenqi, Meng Baiyan led people to break into Dali Temple at night is a fact that cannot be argued, General Zhao Kuo has been recuperating in Dali Temple for more than a year, has been peaceful, last night was assassinated in Dali Temple, and so coincidentally, Meng Baiyan was blocked by the defenders of Dali Temple in the courtyard where he lived. The emperor, because he is the little marquis of Chengle, because his father has a million male soldiers in his hands, he will disregard human life, and he will definitely return General Zhao Kuo and the soldiers of Jiuyuan to justice!"
With both hands arched, several people behind Wu Fanzhong asked in unison: "Please return General Zhao Kuo to the emperor, and give justice to the soldiers of Jiuyuan!"
"Hmph, it's very neat, Lord Xiangguo!" Su Pintuo sneered softly on the side, then arched his hands and said loudly: " The emperor, even though the defenders of Dali Temple blocked the little marquis in the courtyard, but no one saw him commit murder, and the little marquis is now lying in the Dali Temple, life and death are unknown, his scars are in front of the eyes of the Lord Xiangguo, so the minister wants to ask the Lord Xiangguo, in the Dali Temple, who allows you to use lynching, the little Hou Ye is beaten all over the body!
"Meng Baiyan's words are quibble, and his true appearance is just a lesson for an ignorant child who doesn't know the height of the sky!"
"On the emperor's birthday last year, the son of Lord Xiangguo pierced the heart of the little marquis, when Princess Yunjin went to the palace to question the adult, may I ask the lord, how did you answer?" Su Pintuo was filled with indignation, and the anger in his chest was uneasy: "At that time, there was neither any evidence nor physical evidence in the hands of Lord Xiangguo, and he dared to commit murder, and the defenders in Dali Temple last night, who dared to say a word to Lord Xiangguo!"
"Master Su-are you saying that the prime minister is framing!"
"Yes or no, adults know it in their hearts, there is no evidence, there is no evidence, how to determine that the little marquis is guilty!"
The two people on the top of the hall argued with reason, and each did not give in to each other, and the two sides were also eyeing each other and did not show weakness.
"Okay-I asked you to think of a solution, not for you to quarrel on the top of the main hall, one is Lord Xiangguo, and the other is the Imperial Doctor, both of whom have paid attention to their identities!" Li Zongzhi interrupted the two of them in a loud voice, and shouted: "Now what I ask is, how to solve this matter!"
Wu Fanzhong glared at Su Pintuo hatefully, since the establishment of the Imperial Forest Army by the little marquis last year, the emperor's power has gradually rebounded, and last year's birthday, Mo Han reappeared in the court, and a group of opponents poured out of the court, and the shape became more and more pressing, and the court was headed by Su Pintuo, and everything was against himself, which was really annoying.
"What the minister said is not groundless, Rong Chen brings a person, and the emperor will make a decision. Wu Fanzhong walked to the door of the hall, raised his hand, and said, "Bring people up." ”
The guards in front of the palace pushed a person up to the palace, and the people who came were tied up in a variety of ways, which was very wolf.
Li Zongzhi stood up and went down to the palace, and the ministers scattered one after another to look back, only to see that the man was very tall and had obvious characteristics, but he was of a foreign race.
"Who is it?" Li Zongzhi stood in front of the man with his hands in his hands, and the guard in front of the hall kicked the man's foot, and the man immediately fell to the ground, unable to struggle for a long time.
Wu Fanzhong took out a letter from his cuff and presented it to Li Zongzhi: "Heboduo is meticulous, the minister returned from Dali Temple last night, and found him sneaky nearby, so that people could catch him, and as a result, he received evidence from him that Heboduo intended to collude with Meng Baiyan!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone was talking.
Li Zongzhi shook the letter open and looked at it, and was silent for a while.
The corners of his lips hooked up a sneer, and Li Zongzhi glanced sideways at Wu Fanzhong.
It's good, I learned the lesson from last time, and this time I know that I have to do a full set of plays.
Squatting down, Li Zongzhi stretched out his hand and slapped it twice on the man's face: "Tell me, why did you come all the way to the Eastern Capital?"
The man looked up at him, and first said a series of words in his mouth, and then said in a very stiff language: "Since I have been arrested, I have nothing to say. ”
Li Zongzhi sighed secretly, these meticulous works are not afraid of death, Wu Fanzhong pushed such a person to the table at this moment, even if he could not confirm the crime of Bai Yan's collusion, but it also made people secretly doubt his character.
"Lord Xiangguo was lucky, he caught a spy when he went out, and it was so coincidental that this person still had such a letter on him. A person outside the hall came loudly, everyone looked out, Mo Han came up to the hall with a cold expression, and arched his hand when he came to the door, saying, "The minister also has something to play." ”
Say. ”
"The little marquis's mansion was attacked last night, the guards were all killed, the little marquis's brother Xi Hao's son was nowhere to be found, and the minister found this on the pillar of the little marquis's mansion. With a stretch of his hand, Zong Ran walked over quickly, took the broken arrow and presented it to Li Zongzhi.
Li Zongzhi picked up the sharp arrow, took a closer look, and handed it to Wu Fanzhong with his backhand: "Wu Xiang will also take a look, whether it is a little familiar." ”
As soon as Wu Fanzhong saw Mo Han presenting a sharp arrow, he knew that there was a mistake in his heart, and the sharp arrow was in his hand, and he looked at it, but he threw it away and threw it on the ground without thinking: "The weapons of the big families have the habit of carving surnames, and the surname of Wu in the eastern capital is He Zhichen's family, but with a sharp arrow, what can it say." ”
"Lord Xiangguo so coincidentally caught the fine work near the Dali Temple, and there is evidence of Heboduo's intention to collude with the little marquis, and Mo Han went to the little marquis's mansion and saw the corpses all over the ground, and a sharp arrow that happened to be tied to the pillar of the little marquis's mansion was engraved with the surname Wu, but it can't be used as any basis, why can the Xiangguo lord be used as evidence, but Mo Han's can't!"
"How can you take one-sided words seriously!"
"Well said, how can you take it seriously!" Mo Han's vigorous repetition turned the situation in an instant, and Wu Fanzhong was choked by his words, and he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't do it even more.
"I still have a witness here!" Wu Fanzhong raised his voice unwillingly.
"When Mo Han finds Xi Hao's son, he will also be an unquestionable witness!"
Li Zongzhi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, but his face did not move, he returned to the upper hall, leaned into the dragon chair, relaxed a little, raised his fingers, and said, "General Yimo, what must happen to this matter?"
"Since the little marquis was arrested in Dali Temple, then, it will be temporarily guarded by Dali Temple, but what happened in the little marquis's mansion cannot be erased, General Zhao Kuo's death must be investigated, and the affairs of the little marquis's mansion must also be investigated, but these are not the main ones, the most important thing is that now that General Zhao Kuo is dead, the dragons of Jiuyuan are leaderless, and General Li is injured and returned, what we have to consider is, who will go to Jiuyuan!"
Wu Fan Zhongzheng was resentful that the plan he had arranged was disrupted, and when he heard this, he took a few steps forward and asked: "Now the people who can suppress Jiuyuan are no one else except the mighty Marquis. ”
Mo Han's eyes moved slightly, glanced at the man, bowed his head and smiled with mockery, and said: "Lord Xiangguo has just detained the little Hou Ye, and in the blink of an eye, he is going to push the mighty Hou Ye into battle to kill the enemy, if he really has the guts, he is not afraid that the Hou Ye will be dissatisfied and defect before the battle." ”
"You-"
"Lord Xiangguo has the guts, but Mo Han doesn't, the emperor, there are many people in the Imperial Forest Army who followed the little marquis at the beginning, since the little marquis is now involved in the murder, the minister asks the emperor to allow all the subordinates of the little marquis in the imperial forest army to suspend their posts and recuperate, and then make a decision when the matter is settled. ”
"In this way, isn't there a vacancy in the guards of the imperial city?" Su Pintuo looked suspicious, he had heard that General Mo Han had a deep friendship with the little marquis, how could it be that the little marquis had just been detained, and he was so impatient to kick the little marquis's people out of the ranks of the Imperial Forest Army?
"What General Mo said is extremely true, the Imperial Forest Army is the person around the emperor, and it should be avoided, and it should not hesitate. Wu Fanzhong was overjoyed and echoed.
This situation is really inexplicable, Su Pintuo glanced at Mo Han, then turned around and exchanged glances with the people around him, and shook his head slightly.
"Okay, let's rest for a while, it's just that ...... vacancy"
"The minister recommended two people. ”
As soon as Mo Han's words came out, Wu Fanzhong already felt that something was wrong, and was about to open his mouth to stop it, but Li Zongzhi interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said: "The Royal Forest Army is under the command of General Mo, and these problems in the establishment, the general has taken care of them. ”
"Mu Feng of Jiuwu and Bai Shaoqing of Jingyang are both meritorious ministers in the Fengdu War, and they have been following the ministers back then. ”
Wu Fanzhong raised his eyes and looked at Li Zongzhi, knowing that he had actually stepped into a game between these two people, and now it is not what it used to be, there are many enemies with him in the court, so everyone is watching, and he can't refuse, so he has to say: "General Mo is hand-eyed, and the idea has hit the jurisdiction of the prime minister, since the general has opened his mouth, how dare the prime minister not give it." ”
"Thank you so much. ”
"Okay, this matter is really more and more chaotic, my head is bigger, since everyone has their own opinions, the case of Dali Temple will be handed over to Shaoqing of Dali Temple to investigate, Wu Xiang and General Mo will assist in the investigation, before the matter is clarified, no one is allowed to touch Meng Baiyan at all. As for the case of the Little Marquis's Mansion, I will let people investigate separately, the news of General Zhao Kuo's death will be transmitted back to Jiuyuan in a few days, Jiuyuan has no boss, Zhao Mu and Canglang have been at odds for a long time, I think about it......" Li Zongzhi paused, raised his eyes to look at Mo Han, and finally said: "The mighty Marquis should be the best candidate." ”
"Your Majesty-" Su Pintuo took a step forward and said hurriedly: "The war in Jiuyuan is not something that can be solved overnight, the Hou Ye has been leaving Chengle without an owner in Yanshan for a long time, if he is transferred to Jiuyuan, then Chengle ......"
"Master Su, you are questioning the emperor's will!" Wu Fanzhong interrupted Su Pintuo's words with a loud shout, while Mo Han stood in front of the hall, looking at the person in the Jinluan Palace and was silent.
Li Zongzhi sat up straight, glanced at His Royal Highness's ministers, and said, "Zongran, the intention is to be made." ”
The holy man covered with the jade seal was sent out of the temple in the eyes of everyone.
The die is cast!
When everyone dispersed, Mo Han actually wanted to ask the emperor why he had decided this way, but he gave up after standing still for a while.
For the monarch, turn over the hands for the clouds and cover the hands for the rain.
As a minister, he accompanies the king's side, but he can't save the king's heart.
Since the emperor has chosen the path, then he will clear a qiē for him!
The teacup in his hand was heavily buckled on the table, Wu Fan snorted coldly and got up and paced a few steps, and said: "Before the matter is clarified, Meng Baiyan is not allowed to be touched in the slightest, the emperor has made it clear that he is protecting that person." ”
"Daddy, why should I be angry, Zhao Kuo is dead, the mighty Marquis went to Jiuyuan, our goal has been achieved, and we have caught up with a Meng Baiyan, and after a while, we will get people to enter Chengle, if the mighty Marquis dies on the battlefield, Jiuyuan and Chengle are not all in our pockets, why should Daddy be angry for this moment. Wu Feiyun sat at the table and sipped the tea in his hand unhurriedly.
Wu Fanzhong glanced back at him and said, "Where is that Zong Xi Hao, can you remove the poison from your body?"
Wu Feiyun put down the teacup, got up and said, "It's time for the kid to go and see him, since he fell into my hands, how can he turn over any tricks." ”
Xi Hao sat at the table, silent.
It was dawn, but Bai Yan still didn't come.
The room was terrifyingly quiet, and his eyes were raised, looking blankly at Yiqiē beside him.
Suffocation! The air in this place is filled with disgust. The heavy rain has stopped, and the strong sunlight shines through the paper windows, making people more and more breathless.
I want to go back, I want to go back to the island where all kinds of flowers bloom all year round, if that day, Uncle Houde didn't bring the two of them into the island and into his own life, then a qiē will not be the same!
He slowly leaned down on the table, his cheek pressed against his arm, and the tears that blurred his vision slowly fell down the corners of his eyes.
Fences, beside the stone table with the fragrance of flowers, he and Flawless face to face, holding hands and laughing as if it was just yesterday, Bai Yan's laughing voice is still in his ears, however, at this moment, it is already up and down!
"Bai Yan...... Flawless...... Where are you...... Xi Hao wants to go home...... Take Xi Hao home...... "The head was buried deep in the crook of the arm, and the forbearance cry was very low, but it still penetrated the closed door and gently rippled in the heavily guarded courtyard!
Tomorrow's preview: The arm was grabbed and pulled hard by the man, and the jaw was pinched desperately, but Xi Hao stubbornly raised his head in the man's hand: "Kill me, kill me, no one in this world will be able to cure this poison." ”
"How dare you threaten me!"
Xi Hao didn't flinch, his eyes were full of anger and Wu Feiyun looked at him: "I want to see him!"
"If I say no. ”
"I'll gamble your life with my life!"
