Chapter 445: Referring to a Deer as a Horse [I]
"I also ask the elder to make a decision immediately, quickly find out the truth of the facts, and don't because of a moment of negligence, cut off the seeds of Sheji and destroy the foundation of my Great Zhou."
Sure enough, it's terrifying!
Looking at Sun Shaozong's impassioned appearance, Xu Ge couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
At first glance, it seems that he is just following Liu Luanwei's meaning, but in fact, it is the opportunity for Xu Ge to pass the blame on Emperor Guangde in advance.
Although it is said that to complete this yang conspiracy that refers to the deer as a horse, the biggest reliance is the deterrence of the imperial power - but if the imperial power is used to directly promote this yang conspiracy, the pattern will be properly completed, and it may even be completely defeated because of this!
Because Emperor Guangde and Emperor Taishang are now restrained by each other, and because of their natural vision, they are faintly inferior in terms of momentum, and they cannot cover the sky with one hand.
If this 'pregnancy test' is presided over by Emperor Guangde, it is very likely that the 'anti-emperor faction' will take risks again and try their best to expose this scam personally operated by the emperor.
At that time, the prestige of Emperor Guangde will inevitably plummet, not to mention that the future emperor will not be able to control it, I am afraid that even the throne may be shaky, and how to deter those who expose the deception?
On the contrary, if the following officials find out the 'truth' and then show Emperor Guangde and Emperor Taishang to know, even if someone risks the world's condemnation and successfully exposes this deception, Emperor Guangde will only be 'blinded' by Xiaoxiao, maybe his prestige will be reduced, but it will not endanger the throne.
And when Emperor Guangde frees his hand, he will inevitably retaliate against these people!
Except for the Niu family and King Beijing, who has the support of the emperor, who can resist this thunderous wrath?
With such a loss-making business, naturally not many people are willing to participate.
At that time, with just a few powerful people, how many storms can arise?
Therefore, this conspiracy to refer to the deer as a horse must be deterred by the imperial power, but it is not suitable for the imperial power to lead and promote - at least until it is determined that the Li family is pregnant, it cannot be involved with Emperor Guangde.
It's just that in this way, the person who was pushed to the forefront became the old Xu Ge who was in charge of the case!
It's no wonder that he looked at Sun Shaozong's impassioned appearance, and couldn't help but feel 'terrible' in his heart.
However, in the bottom of Xu Ge's heart, he didn't mind taking some risks, with his current power and prestige, even if this conspiracy was punctured in the end, it would only be a disgrace and dismissal - anyway, he was going to take the blame, so why not fight?
So Xu Ge Lao sighed in his heart, but a murderous look rose on his face, and he slowly got up from the Taishi chair, and ordered in a loud voice: "Xu Shilang." ”
"The lower official is here."
"You immediately mobilize people to isolate the inside and outside, without the old man's order, not a word can be transmitted to the outside!"
"The lower officials will live up to the trust of the elders!"
"Sun Zhizhong."
"Obey the orders of the elder."
"You go and bring that Li clan here, don't make a mistake!"
"The subordinate officer receives the order!"
Sun Shaozong bowed his hand neatly, turned his head and walked out of the living room.
When he got outside, looking at the stars in the sky, he couldn't help but take a deep breath - although the current start is quite smooth, but in order to complete this big lie, the most important thing is the next 'pregnancy test' process.
Once the imperial doctors concluded that Li was not pregnant, this so-called yang conspiracy naturally ended without a problem.
However, in this major play, the most troublesome are not necessarily those imperial doctors, but Zhao Rongheng, the imperial history of the right capital, who has not yet appeared, and Liu Fang, the young secretary of Dali Temple.
The former is Wei Ruolan's promoter, who has always been friendly with the King of Beijing, and he is also the leader of the second grade, even against the elder Xu Ge, it is not without the strength to fight.
Although the latter's official position is only four grades, he is the current head of the Liguo Mansion, and he is also one of the eight nobles, and he has always been inseparable from Niu Jizong!
These two people are also attached to the noble party of the Emperor Taishang, and they deliberately mixed in the sand of the task force, in order to avoid any catticity in this case.
Therefore, if we want to find out the 'truth', I am afraid that there is still an uphill battle to be fought.
But then again, if you can break through the obstruction of these two people and come to the result that 'Li is pregnant' under their witness, it will not be so easy for some people to make trouble.
Without further ado.
However, it was said that Sun Shaozong had called Yang Licai and more than a dozen dragon guards from the front yard to escort the Li family back from the secret room, and sure enough, the living room was already overcrowded.
Xu Furen sat alone in the middle, the left was Zhao Rongheng with a purple robe and jade belt, the right was Liu Fang with a sinking face, and then Xu Liang and Qin Ming, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, - although Liu Fang's official position was only four grades, the lord was above Xu Liang.
In addition to these five people, there were more than ten blue-green petty officials lined up on both sides, all of them standing silently.
Sun Shaozong strode into the hall and reported: "Elder Qiyu Pavilion, the prisoner Li has been brought." ”
Xu Furen bowed his head and pointed to the empty seat at the end, just about to beckon Sun Shaozong to take a seat, but someone in the hall said loudly: "The pavilion is old and slow!" ”
The person who opened his mouth was Liu Fang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who saw him standing up, looked at Sun Shaozong critically, raised his chin again, and asked with contempt: "You are Sun Shaozong in the governance of Shuntian Mansion?" ”
According to common sense, when a subordinate encounters a question from a superior, he should respectfully report himself to his family - but Sun Shaozong knows that he is going to have a fight with him today, so how can he show weakness?
Immediately, he arched his hand again, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Yes and no." ”
Liu Fang couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and frowned: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"If Lord Liu asks about the official affairs of the Shuntian Mansion, the lower official will naturally reply as the governor of the Shuntian Mansion - but if you ask about this case, the lower official is the Dragon Guard Qianhu who was ordered to assist in the investigation."
"What's the difference!"
Hearing that he just wanted to emphasize this point, Liu Fangden scoffed, and then asked sharply: "Someone has pointed out that after you came to the Prince's Mansion, you have visited the Li family twice and had a secret conversation with him alone - this official asks you, can this matter be true?!" ”
Since Liu Fang asked in person, she had already received the letter.
However, Sun Shaozong still shook his head firmly.
"How?"
Liu Fang sneered: "Do you still want to quibble? Someone, it's rumored that Suning, the steward of the Prince's Mansion, is coming in! ”
With his greeting, a fat palace steward immediately flashed outside, stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Back to your lords, the villain saw with his own eyes that Lord Sun, under the leadership of Liu Fucheng, entered the secret room twice, and each time he was alone with the cheap maid Li!" ”
"Hah...... Haha......"
Liu Fang laughed a few times proudly, squinted at Sun Shaozong and asked, "Sun Zhizhong, what else do you have to say now?" If you're as secretive as you are, there must be some ulterior conspiracy in it, right?! ”
It's no wonder that Liu Fang is so proud, originally he thought of a lot of tricks to force this Sun Shaozong to show his feet, but who knew that in the end it would be so easy and effortless.
"Xiaguan naturally has nothing to say."
However, Sun Shaozong was still unhurried, and even the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, and then raised his hand to point at Na Su, and shouted: "Yang Licai, what are you waiting for?!" Don't hurry up and take down this person and me! ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fang was stunned, and even Yang Licai was stunned for a moment - in front of so many high-ranking officials, how could Sun Qianhu say that he would turn his face? !
"Bold Sun Shaozong!"
Liu Fang immediately scolded angrily: "In front of the elder and Zhao Butang, you are so speechless, do you want to rebel?!" ”
"If you don't say anything, I'm afraid it's you, Lord Liu, right?"
Sun Shaozong also sneered: "The Dragon Guard is an internal guard directly under His Majesty, and the subordinate officials are ordered to investigate the case, and according to the law, they only need to be responsible to Your Majesty alone-don't say that your Lord Liu is just a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, even if you are promoted to a high-ranking official in the ministry, you shouldn't ask me about my behavior!" ”
"And this man!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Su steward, and said: "I don't have an official position, but I vainly spy on the internal guards who are ordered to investigate the case, and it is obvious that he is a person with ill intentions, and this official ordered someone to take him down and torture him, what is wrong?!" ”
At this time, Yang Licai finally came to his senses, and hurriedly led people forward to hold the fat man and dragged him out.
"Lord Liu, Lord Liu save me, Lord Liu save me! Willow...... Save ......"
It wasn't until the pig-killing voice faded away that Liu Fang finally came to her senses, gritted her teeth and pointed at Sun Shaozong, but she couldn't say a whole sentence for a while.
It was like this for a long time, and in the end, Zhao Rongheng came out to play the round, and he sat back with a pale face.
If you want to say that this guy is really hardworking, he tried to take the lead when he came up, so that he could have the upper hand in the next pregnancy test process - this idea cannot be said to be wrong, but it is a pity that he picked the wrong opponent and overestimated his own ability, so he ended up disgraced.
