Chapter 613: King Jianning is in trouble
Cui Guangyuan was not a newcomer to officialdom for a long time, and how could a person who enforced the law be threatened by a prisoner in prison? What's more, with his understanding of Qin Jin, he had always made a decision before acting, and if he was not more than eighty percent sure, he would never take action.

A dry laugh erupted in the cell.
"Dou Jun, why do you have to do such a little trick? Even if Cui changes positions with you in the future, what is there to complain about?"
With that, Cui Guangyuan ordered someone to lock the door of the cell and strode out of this dark and damp place.
What he said just now was really happy, if it weren't for the ups and downs of officialdom for more than 20 years, he would not have been able to fight back at Dou Xian so calmly.
In fact, people's weakness lies in this, and suffering from gains and losses will only make them a loser who looks forward to the future, letting go of all obsessions, but has unfavorable results.
The detention of Dou Xian is not all right, the next step must be to organize the case file perfectly and stand up to review, so that as long as they occupy a rational word, even the Son of Heaven has no way to take them.
In the final analysis, the Son of Heaven Li Heng ascended the throne for a short time, and Empress Zhang's power in the court was also in a state of initial cultivation, and although Dou Xian's status was not low, he only had the title inherited from his ancestors, and he was the founder of the country from Erpin.
However, after Cui Guangyuan returned to the middle hall of Jingzhao Mansion, Qin Jin was no longer here. So he called the messenger to inquire, but the messenger didn't know the specific situation, only that the imperial doctor received the military report, so he left in a hurry.
Although Cui Guangyuan was tough in front of Dou Xian, if he didn't make an idea with Qin Jin, he still felt a little unsettled, so he took people to the Chinese army.
As soon as he came out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, he happened to meet Shi Lixu, the commander of the Shenwu Army.
Li Cao was Qin Jin's right-hand man, and when Cui Guangyuan saw him, he knew that this person would not rush over if he had nothing to do.
"Da Yin is in such a hurry, where are you going?"
"I just disposed of Dou Xian, and I plan to ask the doctor for an idea again!"
Li Cao smiled when he heard this:
'Da Yin doesn't have to work in person, Li is here on the doctor's order, and Dou Xian and Sun Shutong will be dealt with together!'
"Merger?"
Cui Guangyuan was shocked, if the cases were to be dealt with, wouldn't it be directly to make the case of King Guangping public?
This is very different from Qin Jin's previous thoughts.
He still wanted to ask carefully, but Li Cao said:
"This is not the place to talk, let's go into the middle hall and talk about it!"
Cui Guangyuan suddenly patted his head at this time, because his spirit had been highly nervous, he actually forgot that there were many outsiders at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, maybe that sentence was heard, and he was suspected of being leaked.
"Look at my head, confused, confused, go, go, Changshi enters the middle hall to speak!"
Cui Guangyuan and Li Cao entered Jingzhao Mansion one after the other.
Cui Guangyuan has also heard of Li Cao's origin, this person had waited for Yan Zhenqing, the prince of the plains, to send a letter to Chang'an, and the news that the fifteen counties of Hebei Province had returned to the Tang Dynasty was brought by him. At that time, the Son of Heaven was still Li Longji, and he hid his face and cried excitedly in public.
As a result, this young talent who entered Chang'an alone became famous. However, the government at that time was under the control of Yang Guozhong, and if he refused to rely on it, he could only be idle in the end. It wasn't until Qin Jin returned to Chang'an with the Shenwu Army that Li Cao made the best use of his people and played a vital role in the battle of Chang'an to relieve the siege.
Therefore, although Li Cao is young and has a short official life, Cui Guangyuan never dares to despise this person
"The doctor has made up his mind, since the abscess has been born, there is no reason to cover it, if it is not born as soon as possible, it will only make people miserable for a long time!"
Cui Guangyuan nodded and said:
"This is not unreasonable, but, after all, what about the queen?"
His worries are not unreasonable, as the saying goes, there is no kiss, who knows if the Son of Heaven will favor the woman he loves at a critical moment?
Li Cao said again:
"I have to shake out all those pickled things, in order to involve the queen behind the scenes, and the doctor's intention is to force the queen's strong man to break his wrist!
Seeing that Cui Guangyuan was still in deep thought, Li Cao spoke extremely quickly and continued to say shocking news.
"The doctor has just received reliable news, the queen has already planned an errand for Dou Xian to watch the army, the rank is the third grade, if you don't take this opportunity to beat him to the point where he can't turn over, we will have to control it sooner or later! However, in this way, if the enmity with Dou Xian is accepted, and he can't be put to death, wouldn't he have worked in vain? In the future, how can this guy not bite back and avenge this arrow?"
At this point, Cui Guangyuan completely understood Qin Jin's thoughts, and also felt that he had cared too much about the benevolence of King Guangping's wife before, and those who achieved great things must be informal, and what kind of brotherhood must give way in the face of major rights and wrongs. Otherwise, Taizong is such a wise and martial person, why would he sit on the human ethics of killing his brother and killing his brother?
Looking back, if there was no human tragedy, how could there have been later Zhenguan governance?
Thinking of this, Cui Guangyuan gritted his teeth.
"According to the doctor's wishes, the case will be handled together, and he will be tried upside down!"
While making up his mind, Cui Guangyuan also knew very well in his heart that as long as he took this step, there would inevitably be a bloody storm in the court, and the short-lived superficial sincere unity at the beginning of the First World War of Chang'an would inevitably be torn to pieces.
However, sometimes the contradictions are made public, which is more conducive to the stability of the court situation, and when the time comes, the Son of Heaven is forced to express his position, and some people are cut off from riding the wall to watch, and choose a team to fight a protracted and evenly matched political battle.
Li Cao also clenched his fists, and his expression was as cold as frost.
"Although the doctor did not say it explicitly, according to Li's private speculation, the doctor did this to calculate the benevolence and indecisiveness of the Son of Heaven, and most of them would make this matter a big thing, but it was a rare encouragement for those with ill intentions! At that time, the situation of King Guangping would be even more precarious!"
Li Cao's thoughts coincided with Cui Guangyuan, and the two looked at each other speechlessly. After a long time, Cui Guangyuan suddenly asked again:
"The doctor left in a hurry, what happened?"
At this point, Li Cao showed a little smile and said with a smile:
"It's a big thing, but it's not a bad thing, Yang Xingben has arrived in Beijing with Feng Yi's Shenwu army!"
This is indeed exciting news, the Shenwu Army is the foundation of Qin and Jin, and it is also the only reliance that these people can find to restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The news of Yang Xingben's arrival in Beijing soon spread, and Li Heng, the son of heaven, convened a great court meeting, received meritorious soldiers, and rewarded him with a heavy reward.
Among them, the generals and others below the rank of the fifth rank will be promoted to the third level of meritorious service, and the officials above the fifth rank will be rewarded separately.
Qin Jin once suggested that now is not the time to reward meritorious deeds, and if you win a battle, you will have to seal the official position on a large scale, which will only make people complacent and slack. This coincides with the new prime ministers, who do not recommend lavish rewards for meritorious generals. Of course, the original intentions of the two sides are very different.
Even Qin Jin, who had the first meritorious service, refused to be rewarded, and the rest of the meritorious generals naturally expressed their attitudes, not wanting to be rewarded so quickly, and everything would wait until the thieves were pacified, and the world would be rewarded for meritorious deeds after the world was peaceful.
In this regard, Li Heng also made it clear that the merits of all officials above the fifth rank are recorded, and if someone dies first before the rebellion is completed, he will inherit it from his heirs, and the court will never do anything chilling.
Therefore, the purpose of this court meeting is to receive the meritorious generals who came from Feng Yi, and it is also to show the people of the world that the Son of Heaven and the imperial court will definitely not treat those soldiers who are fighting bloodily in the local area.
It wasn't until noon, when everyone thought that the meeting was going to end smoothly, that a young man stood up.
"Your Majesty!
This person is not an ordinary courtier, but the third son of today's son Li Heng, Li Qi, the king of Jianning!
Although Li Heng has a generous personality, he has always been very strict with his children, and at this time, Li Heng stood up and said that there was something to start, in his opinion, it was to set up a court meeting for this meeting with the meritorious soldiers.
"No matter what, let's talk about it!"
Li Heng's voice was full of displeasure, but he didn't attack in public and reprimanded Li Heng.
However, Li Qi didn't seem to notice Li Heng's face, but insisted:
"Your Majesty, is it a matter of national origin, and it should be postponed?"
"You!"
Li Heng's angry face rose sharply, but after all, the word "national capital" came from Li Qi's mouth, and it must not be a joke, so he said in a calm voice:
"Say, if you don't believe it, do you know what punishment you deserve?"
Li Qi's face was not afraid, he stood up, his face was angry, and he said loudly:
"Someone wanted to murder King Guangping, but, but some officials were afraid of the sinister and did not dare to cause trouble, trying to cover up the case. The minister had to say it at this time, so that all the officials could testify and see which one dared to do anything wrong!"
The words were thoughtless, but the content was shocking to the extreme, and many officials didn't react for a while, thinking that they had heard it wrong.
Including Li Heng, they all thought they didn't understand.
"You, you say it again?"
So, Li Qi calmly repeated it again. At this point, Li Heng confirmed that it was correct, and a strange look appeared on his face, which was surprised, angry, and even a little sad, but all gathered together, it made this tribulation of the son of heaven unable to say a word.
It was Prime Minister Fang Xuan who reacted quickly and relieved the siege for the Son of Heaven.
"King Jianning, is there any evidence for such a horrific thing?"
Li Qilang said:
A few nights ago, King Guangping was rammed by a frightened horse and almost died, and there were dozens of soldiers and generals present, all of whom were witnesses! If you don't believe it, you will be interrogated!"
