As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, the needles in the hall could already be heard.

Fang Jun, who had been hanging his head and was silent, also raised his head, glanced at Li Zhi who was sitting in danger with a little surprise, and then glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, who couldn't see any expression, thought about it, and still didn't say anything.

The ministers looked at Li Zhi and couldn't help but be suspicious in their hearts......

Everyone has heard of the rumors in the market, but most people just laugh, at most as a conversation after dinner, imagining the comfortable life of Fang Erlang left and right, and sighing that two people are not romantic teenagers, that's all.

Although if there is really something between the two, it should be classified into the category of "**", but since the Southern and Northern Dynasties were in turmoil, the Northern Hu took advantage of the situation to invade the Central Plains, and even the unified Sui and Tang emperors had the blood of the Hu people, which led to the social atmosphere of the Hu people to bring a very strong impact on the Confucian Zhengshuo of the Central Plains Dynasty.

If Confucianism was at its most prosperous in the Han Dynasty, this kind of behavior would never be tolerated in the world, and it would be a pig cage to be caught there......

But in the Tang Dynasty, it really didn't matter.

At least Princess Changle is not married now and after leaving, and Fang Jun's wife doesn't care, people are willing to do it, who is idle and has nothing to do with such things?

Not to mention that it is just a rumor so far, no one can say whether Fang Jun and Princess Changle are innocent or not......

However, now that King Li Zhi of Jin has put this matter in the court, the nature is different.

There are some things that can be done, but they must never be said, especially not in the open.

For example, His Majesty Li Er killed his brother and brother, forced his father to abdicate, and forcibly occupied his brother-in-law and sister-in-law......

In private, everyone acquiesced, but if anyone comes to the truth, not only His Majesty Li Er is not finished with you, but others will not think so, accusing you of being nosy.

After all, this is an era when Gangchang has not yet formed a solid form, and everyone actually doesn't take it seriously......

But regardless of whether Fang Jun and Princess Changle are innocent or not, Li Zhi raised this matter to the level that the imperial court needs to investigate, which is equivalent to officially acknowledging the reliability of the rumors.

Put the filth of the royal family on the table, wouldn't it be to roast Fang Jun and Princess Changle on the fire?

The main thing is...... Where do you save your Majesty's face?

His son-in-law and his other daughter-in-law...... For His Majesty Li Er, who attaches great importance to face and reputation, how can he endure it?

So, the ministers first looked at Li Zhi, the king of Jin, in confusion, and then looked at His Majesty Li Er with their eyes to see how His Majesty reacted......

His Majesty Li Er's face sank like water, squinting at this son who was raised by his side freely.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and no one dared to say much.

After a long time, His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "It's just a rumor, let it go for a while, it will naturally disappear into invisibility, why make a big fuss?" ”

In the face of his father's almost explicit words, Li Zhi still said: "This matter is extremely damaging to the majesty of the royal family, and the sons and daughters think that it should be handled as soon as possible." Besides, Fang Shilang Yu Changle's reputation was also damaged, and now Fang Shilang is here, why didn't his father ask Fang Shilang's opinion? ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became stunned.

Yo he!

I can't see that His Royal Highness King Jin is young, but it is a good trick......

Everyone admired in their hearts, and then they all looked at Fang Jun.

If there is no selfish relationship between the two, Fang Jun will naturally agree to investigate, not only can he show his frank innocence, but also eliminate the rumors as soon as possible after the investigation is revealed.

On the contrary, if Fang Jun really had a personal affair with Princess Changle, Fang Jun would definitely not agree.

Because once it is found out, what will be faced by Fang Jun will be His Majesty Li Er's monstrous anger and severe punishment.

With the existence of the "Hundred Riders", no one dares to leave anything to chance......

However...... Can Fang Jun refuse the investigation?

The answer is no.

Regardless of whether Fang Jun and Princess Changle have a selfish relationship, Fang Jun can only agree to the investigation.

Otherwise, would it be difficult for him to admit that he had a personal affair with Princess Changle in front of the monarch and the civil and military forces in the main hall?

If that's the case, His Majesty Li Er, who can't be said to be annoyed and angry, can pick his skin on the spot......

Li Zhi, the king of Jin who proposed to investigate the matter, got very close to the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been suppressing Fang Jun in every way, and Fang Jun was always taking it as his responsibility to weaken the Guanlong Group. It is conceivable that once His Majesty agrees to open the investigation, the person in charge of this matter must be the proposed Jin King Li Zhi, and the eldest grandson Wuji behind him will inevitably take this opportunity to rectify Fang Jun with all his might.

Who dares to say that he is innocent and as pure and flawless as a white lotus? Once he is caught by the eldest grandson Wuji, what awaits Fang Jun can only be a dismal ending, and no one can protect him.

But Fang Jun couldn't refuse......

Therefore, the ministers all expressed their admiration for the hand of Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and it seemed to be a proposal without skills, but it was an upright conspiracy, so that Fang Jun knew that it was powerful and had to pinch his nose and admit it.

What can Fang Jun say?

He didn't say anything, silently waiting for His Majesty Li Er's decision, he wanted to see His Majesty Li Er's attitude.

But in the eyes of the ministers, this is equivalent to having nothing to say and waiting to be killed.

The ministers were amazed by the Jin King Li Healing......

His Majesty Li Er was quite deep today, his square face was tightly struck, and he couldn't see any expression from beginning to end except for the smile he showed when he just beat Li Zhi, the king of Jin.

At this time, he was the same, he just looked at the prince and asked lightly, "What does the prince think?" ”

Only then did the ministers remember that there was still a prince present today, but this person's presence was too low, so low that everyone had already ignored his existence......

In fact, the prince was already very anxious in his heart.

Although his political talent is a little worse, he is not as good as those scheming and slick ministers, but he is definitely not a fool, how can he not see the crisis behind the proposal of Li Zhi, the king of Jin? Fang Jun is his right-hand man, not only has a firm determination to support him, but also has the ability to support his ministers who are outstanding, and his ability to understand the court situation and figure out his father's mind is better than Zhang Xuansu, Kong Yingda, Li Baiyao and others.

Some time ago, his father wanted to demote Fang Jun out of Beijing, intending to cut off his arm to test the courtiers' attitude towards the matter of Yi Chu, which had frightened the prince's soul out of his body.

Now if Fang Jun falls into the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji...... The end was almost predictable.

Once Fang Jun falls, the blow to the prince will definitely be huge.

Hearing his father's inquiry at this moment, the prince quickly considered his words and said, "The son thinks that the proposal of the young slave is not appropriate. This matter is just a rumor between the market, and the people always like to add branches and leaves to the affairs of the royal family after tea and dinner, and they are nothing more than talking about it. But now if the imperial court investigates the matter, it is equivalent to bringing the matter to the table, and the impact on the reputation of the royal family is more significant than letting it go unchecked. In the opinion of the sons, this move is inappropriate. ”

Although there was nothing brilliant about these words, they were decent, and it was the safest way, and the ministers nodded one after another.

Relatively speaking, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is a little too sharp, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is conformist, and it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

Hey? The ministers woke up suddenly, and actually compared the king of Jin with the crown prince......

However, it is reasonable for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect Fang Jun, although Fang Jun has never publicly admitted that he is a "princeling", but among the two princes with whom he has the best relationship, King Wu has no chance to compete for the prince, so he is naturally classified as the prince.

His Majesty Li Er sat on the main seat with a gloomy expression, and only after a long time did he speak: "The reputation of the royal family is more than Mount Tai, how can you let the folk rumors slander?" However, the Tang Dynasty has never been convicted for speaking, and the people have the right to speak, as long as they slander the monarch and spread remarks that are harmful to the empire, they cannot be forcibly banned. Since this is the case, I agreed to the proposal of the King of Jin and ordered him to preside over the investigation of Fang Jun and Princess Changle, supplemented by the 'Hundred Horsemen' and obeyed the dispatch of the King of Jin. Once it is clear that nothing happened, the rumors of the people will naturally disappear, do you think so? ”

He has raised this matter to the height of royal reputation, even if there is opposition, how can he stop it?

For a time, the ministers did not object.

The politically astute ministers have already smelled a different smell from it, the first proposal was passed on the first day of the Jin king's court to discuss politics, and the crown prince has not been to the court for several months, and when he came up, he was vetoed by the emperor......

Does this mean anything?

Looking at the prince's defeated face and King Jin's excited expression, the ministers remained silent, but they all had calculations in their hearts.

This matter has already been decided, and the last thing in the court discussion is about how to deal with Qiu Shenji......
