Chapter 235: The Great Trend Has Gone

Evidence? Could it be that Cui Hao really has evidence in his hands? How is this possible? It's been more than ten years since the incident, and it's good to be able to find Zhou Shisan's personal witness, how can there be evidence? Li Shizhi was full of suspicion, and a large group of doubts and horrors were intertwined in the bottom of his heart and appeared on his face. Li Shizhi felt that twelve years ago, he had handled this matter seamlessly, of course, except for the fact that his subordinates would cheat, after all, he was kept in the dark, and they didn't know who they were going to kill.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, there was silence again, and the ministers who had always been serious and liked to serve shelves were like coming to the vegetable market at this moment, and the other officials far away from Cui Hao's position were all standing on tiptoe and watching, all wanting to see what evidence Cui Hao would come up with.

Cui Hao took out an object wrapped in a cyan silk handkerchief from his arms unhurriedly at this time. The crowd stared at him as he slowly opened the silk handkerchief, which seemed to be wrapped in a rusty iron plate. Cui Hao presented it with both hands, and the eunuch Zhang Cen hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and then sent it to the Han Emperor.

Emperor Han stared at the iron card in Zhang Cen's hand with his eyes slightly open, the iron card was full of dirt and rust, Emperor Han was a little disgusted, but he still stretched out his right hand and took the iron card with a silk handkerchief, and then carefully looked at the iron card in his hand before and after. Although the sign is mottled with rust, you can still see a few large characters engraved on it. Emperor Han condensed his eyebrows and read while looking at it: "Dali Temple." The Han Emperor was shocked, and looked at it in reverse, "The main book is ten thousand fish!" ”

After seeing it, Emperor Han hurriedly asked, "Where is Wanziyu?" ”

The official Shangshu Quan Shidao bowed down and replied in fear: "Back to Your Majesty, Wan Ziyu was indeed the master of Dali Temple, but ......" Quan Shidao hesitated, squinted and glanced at the embarrassed Li Shi and continued to reply, "But he was dismissed nine years ago because he was accused of greedy for the property of his relatives, and now he is missing." ”

Emperor Han already had the answer in his heart at this time, but he still looked at Li Shizhi undeniably and asked, "You also accepted this case!" ”

Li Shizhi was already paralyzed on his knees, tears flying, kowtowing like garlic and saying, "Your Majesty! The minister was dumbfounded for a moment to make this big mistake, and I hope that Your Majesty will be merciful, merciful......"

Li Shizhi's kneeling caused an uproar, it seems that the matter has been confirmed, what will be the fate waiting for Li Shizhi?

Emperor Han stared at his brows, his facial features were distorted with anger, and his blushing face shook his head, "Li Shizhi, Li Shizhi, this is not a mistake, but a big crime!" I really can't imagine that you would bend the law for personal gain. Then he angrily rebuked, "Say...... Where did Wu Qingfeng's wife and his two sons go? ”

"Minister......" Li Shizhi's face turned red with fright, his trembling hands shrunk in the wide sleeves, and his trembling lips were so shaky that he couldn't say half a sentence, "Minister... No... Know! ”

"Say ......," Emperor Han almost roared.

Seeing this, the ministers all fell to their knees, not daring to raise their heads.

Li Shizhi saw that the general trend had gone, if he didn't say something valuable, he was afraid that he would be pulled out and beheaded now, and if he told the truth, he might be able to live a few more days, and at that time his sister still had time to open up for herself and leave a way to live. Li Shizhi thought for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "The minister only knows that the three of them and the mother and son fled westward, and then they don't know where to go!" ”

Emperor Han suppressed his anger, and after hesitating for a moment, his face changed, and he looked calm like water, and said coldly: "Someone! Li Shizhi was put on death row, waiting to be released, and no one was allowed to visit him without my order. ”

At this time, the hall was silent, and no one dared to come forward to say a word for Li Shizhi. The neat footsteps of several dragon and tiger guards echoed in the main hall, making the ministers tremble.

The Xuanzheng Hall once again fell into a dead silence, everyone was waiting for the emperor's meaning, but no one could figure out what his next step would be!

"Liu Yan ......"

Emperor Han suddenly called his grandson's name with some exhaustion, and the ministers nervously looked at Liu Yan, it seems that the emperor is looking for the prince to settle the account.

Liu Yan trembled and shook deeply, "Grandson...... In the ......"

Emperor Han was silent again for a long time before he said bitterly: "Shangyuan Festival...... Have you entertained your Uncle Ning? ”

"Positive...... Be! Although Liu Yan was ready to respond, he was still overwhelmed by the momentum of the imperial grandfather.

Emperor Han's face suddenly sank, "Your Uncle Wang was poisoned after the banquet, do you know?" ”

"This ......" Liu Yan hurriedly knelt down to defend, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson doesn't know!" There must be some misunderstanding in this, Uncle Huang must have been poisoned somewhere. This has nothing to do with grandchildren, grandfather! ”

Emperor Han snorted, "Did I say that this matter has anything to do with you?" ”

Liu Yan was stunned and speechless for a while. Seeing that the momentum was not right today, the others did not dare to help speak.

"In the past few days, many ministers have reacted to me that the prince listens to and believes in favorites, acts recklessly, and does not care about suppressing colleagues and excluding dissidents. Is there such a thing? ”

Liu Yan was stunned again, and even more speechless.

"Your Majesty." Xun Mou hurriedly answered, "These words are just slander made by someone who is dissatisfied with the prince, and the prince has taken office in the past few days, and he still has some merits......"

"Really?" Gao Yun heard that Xun Mou wanted to exonerate the prince again, so he teased, "How could the minister's brother die in vain?" And who is it to behead the dead without being convicted? Who innocently exiled Lord Yang? Who sent someone to assassinate Doctor Lu late at night? These are all ......" Gao Yun said and pointed at Liu Yan, and said angrily: "Is it something that the prince of the country should do?" ”

Gao Yun said as soon as he spoke, and everyone was dumbfounded, Gao Yun was clearly for his brother Gao Han to tear his face with the prince! Xun Mou didn't expect Gao Yun to come to a dead end, it seems that today either the prince will be demoted, or Gao Yun's head will fall to the ground!

Emperor Han stood up, turned his back to the ministers, and seemed to deliberately want to hide his emotions, no one knew what Emperor Han's expression was at this moment, and he didn't dare to come forward to speak.

Although Lu Zuo was troubled for a moment by the matter of Li Shiyi, but when he saw that Gao Yun was ready to die with the prince, he immediately woke up and knew that now was the best time to bring down the prince, the reason why the emperor turned his back was to make the final thought, as long as anyone came forward to intercede for the prince, the emperor would definitely let the prince go, but if anyone else added oil and vinegar, the Han emperor would definitely make up his mind to depose the prince. Lu Zuo didn't wait for the others to speak, and immediately answered: "Your Majesty, there were indeed assassins who wanted to assassinate the minister yesterday, but fortunately, the minister's family members are desperately protecting him, otherwise the minister may not have the opportunity to serve His Majesty again." Fortunately, there were no casualties, but ......" Lu Zuo said, and immediately knelt down, "But please also ask Your Majesty to punish the crime of killing the minister without permission!" ”
