Chapter 615: The Empress pleads not guilty

"Sun Shutong once served as the companion of the king of Nanyang, and was recommended by Guangluqing Dou Xian to join the forbidden guard, and the minister followed these two clues to investigate separately, and they all found solid evidence!"

Qin Jin concisely introduced the general process of Sun Shutong's collusion with Nanyang Wang Li and Guangluqing Dou Xian respectively, and Li Heng was speechless when he listened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He really didn't know what to say. Dou Xian involved Empress Zhang, and Sun Shutong hooked King Nanyang out again, and the trouble he found with his wife and son was really infuriating.

However, Qin Jin's tone took another turn.

Although Dou Xian has a relatively close relationship with the queen, the evidence that can directly prove that the two colluded with each other is not practical, and the specific situation depends on Dou Xian's confession. ”

Li Heng took a picture of the royal case.

"What kind of confession do you need to see, Dou Xian and the queen have never been shallow, if they don't collude, I won't believe it!"

At this point, Li Heng did not intend to hide it from a few important ministers, before that, the queen mentioned Dou Xian in his ear several times, and almost all of them gave birth to calluses, and they couldn't endure soft grinding and hard bubbles, which gave this person a real power errand to watch the army. But who would have thought that the edict of appointment had not yet been issued, and this happened to the case.

Li Heng closed his eyes tiredly, and only after a long time did he open them again, and looked at Li Yu with a little pity. He is not like his father, he has no family affection for his son, this eldest son is a deliberately cultivated successor, if he wants to be unfavorable to him, he must not be soft, even if he is his own son!

"Edict, Xuan Nanyang King returns to Beijing!"

After saying this, Li Heng only felt that his heart was dripping blood, did he really want to learn to kill his own son with his own hands like the emperor? If you don't kill him, is there any other way? How can you explain to the hundred officials, how can you explain to the world? How innocent is the king of Guangping, how can he repay him with fairness?

Li Heng's plan is relatively simple, find the queen and the king of Nanyang respectively, and force them to explain the problems clearly in front of several important ministers, and then see if there is room for relaxation, if not, they can only be ruthless and enforce the law.

However, he did not have hope for Qin Jin's attitude, because Qin Jin had always advocated law enforcement, and even did not hesitate to impose military law on himself, how could he expect this person's attitude to change again?

Empress Zhang soon came to the palace, this woman was just a mere good woman more than half a year ago, and she was still 108,000 miles away from the queen. But the world is just to make people, just an opportunity, and she became the queen of the mother of a country.

It was the first time that Qin Jin looked at this Li Heng's queen, to be honest, her appearance was really mediocre, but the maintenance was very good, although she was already more than three years old, she looked like she was only in her twenties. Standing with Li Heng, who is nearly fifty years old, he looks like a father and daughter.

"Queen, you tell me the truth, Dou Xian's plot to assassinate King Guangping, is it your idea?"

Empress Zhang obviously learned about this before this, and her face was quite calm, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice choked.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is difficult to argue, but every day can be seen, the concubine will never be implicated with Dou Xian!"

Li Heng couldn't hide his anger and reprimanded:

"Do you have to pull Dou Xian to come and identify you on the spot before you are willing to admit it?"

Empress Zhang covered her chest with her hands, and her weak body couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Your Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty believe in concubines either?"

At this time, Li Fuguo entered the hall in a panic. Li Heng saw him at a glance, and asked with his head:

"Did Dou Xian mention it?"

Li Fuguo fell to his knees and said in fear:

"Dou Xian, he committed suicide in prison!"

"Killed yourself?"

Li Heng was furious, this person instructed Sun Shutong to kill his son, but now he died so lightly, it was really too cheap for this person.

Qin Jin's heart sank, why did Dou Xian die? It seems that Jingzhao Mansion is not an iron bucket, he looked at Cui Guangyuan, and Cui Guangyuan's eyes also showed disbelief and anger that could not be concealed.

This is good, as soon as Dou Xian dies, it is equivalent to death without proof, and the clue pointing to Queen Zhang is completely broken. Now Empress Zhang flatly denied that she was implicated with Dou Xian, although her words were tactful, but she put the charges on Dou Xian's head in and out of her words.

Empress Zhang was about to cry, which made Li Heng very depressed, and there was no way to vent his anger, so he had to order Li Fuguo to drag him out, strictly guard, and wait for disposal.

Now, a cadre of monarchs and ministers can only wait for the king of Nanyang to enter the capital and go to the palace.

Qin Jin was secretly worried in his heart, King Nanyang didn't have an accident, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

Until the time of the lamp, Li Heng did not send the important ministers away, but asked Li Fuguo to pass the dishes to the palace, and the monarchs and ministers waited while eating.

Today's food in the palace is good, the best roast leg of lamb and white flour scones, in an instant, the hall is already full of aroma. However, where do people still have the mind to eat meat and bread, and it tastes the same as chewing wax, and they are all thinking in their hearts about how this matter will end.

Dou Xian's death is very suspicious, this line cannot be counted like this, the cause of death must be thoroughly investigated, and then the plan must be redone. And the king of Nanyang is also the son of the Son of Heaven, just after mastering the military power, he was accused of participating in the mastermind to assassinate the king of Guangping.

However, when today's son is lenient and benevolent, there may be a different treatment.

This is what Fang Xuan is worried about, if the crime of the King of Nanyang is confirmed, then he must be executed, otherwise how can he explain to the world and deter lawlessness?

It's just that before Li Heng didn't express his attitude, Fang Xuan didn't want to speak rashly, and only secretly thought about what kind of thoughts the few people involved in it had.

His gaze swept over the faces of Qin Jin, Cui Guangyuan, and King Guangping respectively, hoping to find some clues from the expressions of these people, but he found nothing.

This sudden accident completely ruined the plan of him and Cui Lian, and originally planned to use the excuse of the Hui people to sacrifice the fake thief head, and beat the Shenwu army, so as to make their increasingly inflated strength be restrained, but now it is good, political disputes and conspiracies broke out without warning.

All the major events in my heart before seemed so insignificant compared to them.

In all dynasties, the battle for the prince has been a top priority. It can be said that the prince is the capital of the country, and once the prince is threatened, it is equivalent to the foundation of the country being shaken.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Heng was repeatedly suppressed when he was the crown prince, and Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong framed him in a different way, but they still did not abolish it. It is because Li Longji does not dare to change the national capital without authorization, even if he is dissatisfied with Li Heng with a thousand and ten thousand, he can only pinch his nose and keep this son in the position of the prince.

It can be seen from this that the assassination of King Guangping as a quasi-prince, how great the shock to the government and the opposition will be!

"The King of Nanyang has come to see the Son of Heaven!"

The king of Nanyang, Li Department, arrived, and the voice of the eunuch was transmitted from the palace gate to the outside of the palace where the Son of Heaven was located!

Li Heng has been sitting on the couch, in a state of closed eyes and recuperation, and the food on the desk has not been touched. No one knew what this son of heaven was thinking now, but he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Let this unscrupulous come in!"

Nanyang Wang Li was one foot deep, and one foot shallow entered the palace.

Although there was a look of panic and confusion on his face, his body movements all showed that this person was weak in his heart.

"Son, son, son to see his father......"

Li Heng's voice was as cold as ice, almost dripping into ice.

"There are only monarchs and ministers here, no father and son, see you again!"

The Li family had to tremble and give the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and anyone could see that Li Heng acted so deliberately, and he had already made it clear that the carriage and horses were clear, and once it was confirmed that the accusations of King Jianning were true, he would be brought to justice.

"I don't know what His Majesty called his ministers into the palace......"

With a snap, Li Heng copied a bamboo slip on the desk and smashed it into his hand.

"What did you do, and you still have the face to ask me?"

Qin Jin saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, Li Heng treats his subordinates gently and politely on weekdays, and even if he is guilty, he will never speak ill of him. Now he is smashing the plum system with bamboo slips, and it is clear that his father who hates iron and steel is punishing his son.

However, Qin Jin sighed again, the fate of this father and son is probably going to end today.

After all, Nanyang Wang Li is a new hand, and there is too much evidence left, and there is no proof to die like Empress Zhang, so he denies it outright, and it is almost impossible.

"Cui Guangyuan, has the file been transferred?"

Li Heng asked Cui Guangyuan without squinting. Cui Guangyuan hurriedly bowed and replied:

"All the dossiers are already outside the hall, just waiting for His Majesty to pass them on!"

King Nanyang obviously did not hit the south wall and did not give up, and still said stubbornly:

"Your Majesty smashed the ministers with a letter, and the ministers dared to ask what is the crime?"

Li Heng sneered and asked:

"What is the crime?King Jianning, come on!"

Jianning King Li Qi's eyes were full of disgust, and he stared at Li Ji deadly.

"Brother Huang, this is also the last time my brother will call you brother, because from now on, Li Qishi and the person who killed his brother are brothers!"

Li Xian's body that had just straightened up shook significantly twice, and then stammered and pointed at Li Qi.

"You, you need to spew blood, do you have any evidence?"

Li Qi laughed.

"You don't know yet, the ugly things you did, Doctor Qin and Cui Dayin have all been investigated clearly, do you know Uncle Sun? Do you know Dou Xian? They all accused you of plotting to assassinate King Guangping! Li Qike wronged you for half a sentence?"

Li was discolored.

"You, you talk nonsense, a bunch of nonsense......"

Soon, Li Jian knelt in front of Li Heng again, and stepped forward with a few steps on his knees.

"Father, father, son, son, really didn't ......"

At this time, the file was sent in, and Li Heng pointed to the stack of official documents on the desk.

"The evidence is all here, and you still deny it, is my Li Heng's son a coward who dares to be a coward?"

In a word, it completely blocked the mouth of the Li department. Li's crying also stopped abruptly, and the hall immediately fell into a deathly silence.
