Chapter 261: Contradictions Handed Over (II)

Dumbfounded, this time they were all dumbfounded, no one expected that the Empress Wu would come to such a hand, not only the courtiers who came out to sponsor Li Xian were dumbfounded, but even Li Xian was a little unexpected, as for the prince, his face turned red instantly, and he moved his butt a few times restlessly, as if he wanted to stand up against it, but in the end, he didn't have the courage, so he could only look at Li Xian with apologetic eyes, and his expression was really a bit of a resentful woman.

Tsk, what an old thief, the reaction is really fast, it's a pity, you have a thousand tricks and all kinds of means, and when it comes to this, you don't want to turn the tables! Li Xian really didn't expect that the Empress Wu would be so vigilant in such a trivial matter that didn't seem to be very important, but he didn't care very much, and after being slightly startled, his mentality quickly returned to normal, and he stood still without care, without the slightest intention of coming out to fight with the Empress Wu at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the various glances of the courtiers, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and the courtiers who came out of the column saw this, so they could only retreat to their original positions, and the matter of Dabi was a foregone conclusion.

"Your Majesty, the case of Wu Min, the Duke of Zhou, has been troubled for several days, and the government and the opposition are uneasy, and it must be concluded as soon as possible, and the minister implores Your Majesty to investigate."

After all, the matter of Dabi is a small episode, and it will be over after all, although all the courtiers have their own scheming, but no one will explore this matter more, and the disturbance has just disappeared, and Le Yanwei, who received the hint from the prince, has already stood up a little impatiently and reported loudly.

"Well, what Le Aiqing said is very true, Xian'er, how is the trial of your case?"

Gaozong didn't want to see Helanmin's case tossing endlessly, so he would not object to Le Yanwei's proposal, so he named Li Xian.

"Back to my father's words, the facts of the case are clear, but it's just ......"

Since Gaozong had already opened his mouth, Li Xian naturally couldn't help but answer, so he walked out of the queue, bowed, and saluted respectfully, but only half of the words were spoken.

"Huh? Is there anything difficult about Xian'er? Let's listen to me. ”

Seeing the hesitation on Li Xian's face, Gaozong couldn't help but be stunned, and even when he thought of the complexity of the case, asking Li Xian to close the case within a day and a half, it was obviously too harsh, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart, so he slowed down his breath and said very kindly.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, since the thorough investigation of the case by the will of the father, the son has always been conscientious, dare not slack off, thanks to the father's Hong En, the son has clarified the context of the case, Zhou Guogong Wu Minzhi has confessed to all the things he has committed, there are confessions and evidence here, in addition, there are all kinds of ministers in the court involved in this case, according to investigation: Dali Temple Qing Hou Shanye eight years, has eleven times to send heavy gifts and Wu Minzhi, the cumulative wealth of more than 8,000; In the six years of secretary Cheng Miao Chuke, he gave gifts to Wu Minzhi eight times, and the total amount of goods exceeded 3,000; In the five years of the author Lang Zhou Simao, he successively gave gifts ...... "Li Xian bowed down, took out a thick fold from the wide sleeve, spread it out, and read it melodiously, but only announced the behavior of the various ministers involved, but there was no relevant sentence.

"I already know what Xian'er has played, why is there no punishment for you, even if you are the main judge?"

The crimes announced by Li Xian Gaozong have already been understood from the seized account books, Rao is so, and when he listens to it again, it is inevitable that there will be a burst of anger, but Gaozong is more concerned about the result of Li Xian's punishment at this time, and after listening to it for a long time, he has not seen Li Xian mention this matter, so he can't help but be a little impetuous, and as soon as Li Xian's voice fell, Gaozong asked a little impatiently.

"Father Emperor Haihan, this is where the sons and daughters are difficult, although the sons are the main judges, the case should have been decided, but the matter involves many courtiers, it is not allowed to be indulged, and it is not appropriate to give a heavy sentence, the sons and daughters have thought about it again and again, and secretly thought that this matter should be decided by the ministers and assistants of the political affairs hall to ensure that it is safe, and I implore my father to make a holy decision." Facing Gaozong's displeasure, although Li Xian's heart was calm, he made a look of sincere fear on his face, and hurriedly replied.

"Buzz ......"

Li Xian's words made it clear that he was handing over the contradictions, since ancient times, how could there be a reason for the chief judge to only investigate the case and not to punish him, as soon as such an aggressive and strange thing came out, all the ministers and workers were all in a burst of discussions, and the whole hall was noisy.

"Father, the son thinks that what the seventh brother said is the words of the old man to seek the country, and this matter should be handled in this way, and I also ask my father to make a holy judgment."

No matter what others think, Li Hong believes that Li Xian's proposal is extremely beneficial to him, no matter what, he has two prime ministers under him, which already accounts for one-third of the six prime ministers, and then counting Pei Xingjian and Hao Chujun, who have always been unaccustomed to the military queen's politics, no matter how they are calculated, they can occupy the absolute initiative, and furthermore, although Zhang Wenqian and Dai Zhide, the two prime ministers, have always remained neutral, but in general, they are not very interested in the martial arts. No matter what Gaozong thought, some of them couldn't wait to stand up and echo loudly.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very kind, the old minister thinks it is feasible, and please make a clear judgment on Your Majesty!"

As the prince's confidant, Yan Liben's calculations are also not bad, and when he saw the prince standing up, he responded loudly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this should indeed be the case, in order to ensure the stability of the court, it is not okay, the old minister seconded it!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

……

The crown prince and Yan Liben had already stood up one after another, and the rest of the courtiers of the prince's lineage, such as Le Yanwei and Xiao Ming, were not to be left behind, and they all spoke out in agreement.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter is impossible, the court has its own law, and the case should be the presiding judge, how can it be pushed to the political affairs hall, if this case is opened, the after-effect will be public, the court will be chaotic, I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

What we can calculate, the scholars of the North Gate can also see it clearly, how can they let this proposal pass, Liu Yizhi was the first to stand up and object.

"Your Majesty, what Liu said in the matter is very true, since this case is tried by His Royal Highness the King of England, since it should be judged by His Royal Highness the King of England, how can it be done by others, Weichen thinks that this matter is absolutely impossible, I hope Your Majesty will see it!" As soon as Liu Yizhi's words fell, Ming Chongyan had already stood up, and he also spoke out against Li Xian's proposal.

Most of the scholars of the North Gate were involved in the case because of Helan Minzhi, and there were only a few people left, except for Liu Yizhi and Ming Chongyan, who had enough weight to stand up and speak, the rest could only be in the queue of sorrowful, obviously, in terms of momentum, compared to the prince's family, it was really far behind.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the words of Liu and Ming are unfounded, since ancient times, all major cases must be tried by the three divisions, and then voted on by the court, and now His Royal Highness the King of England's proposal is just a workaround, generally for the sake of less disputes in the court, how to say that the law is chaotic, and the minister implores His Majesty to make a clear decision!" Yan Liben obviously beat the water dogs in depth, and did not give the Beimen scholars a chance to turn the tables, and rejected Liu and Ming's suggestions by name.

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Yan said is very true, and the ministers think that this case should indeed be interrogated by the Political Affairs Hall, and I implore Your Majesty to make a holy ruling!"

"Your Majesty, please judge!"

……

The *** people who were so powerful shouted loudly that they instantly suppressed Liu and Ming so much that they didn't even have a chance to speak.

"This, this ......"

In the face of the unanimous call of the ministers, Gaozong himself didn't know whether to follow the advice or not, after all, he didn't want to make a fuss about this matter, but seeing that the ministers continued to speak and urge, Gaozong's old face was purple, and he was embarrassed, and it was really difficult to say why, so he had to turn his eyes to Wuhou for help.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers have their own reasons for what they say, and the concubines think that since they have their own disputes, it is better to let Xian'er take care of this matter first, and then discuss it later." Empress Wu smiled and gave a suggestion.

"Well, that's fine."

Gaozong didn't have a lot of opinions on this matter, but he didn't want to drag it out for a long time, at this time, seeing that the matter was not so easy to solve, there was already some resistance in his heart, this heard what the Empress Wu said, he didn't want to be more entangled in this matter, nodded his head in a deep voice, agreed to the suggestion of the Empress Wu, and then, beckoned to Li Xianyi, who was hiding in the queue of ministers, and said: "Xian'er, I know that these days have been hard, but since this case is Xian'er's trial, then it will be judged by Er, and if there are any difficulties, I will know it. I will support you. ”

"The father has an order, and the sons dare not disobey, however, there are many people involved in this case, and the sons implores the father to give the sons the right to arbitrary." Li Xian didn't plan to take such a hot potato in vain, and concocted this trick of handing over contradictions, in order to ask for power, at this time, hearing Gaozong say this, how could he be very polite, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to be arbitrary.

"yes, I'm right."

Gaozong was completely annoyed by this case, and he didn't even bother to think about it again, he waved his hand very boldly, and agreed to Li Xian's request.

"Thank you father Emperor Longen, my son will do his best to clarify this case."

As soon as the power of arbitrariness arrived, Li Xian hurriedly thanked him.

"Father Emperor Shengming!"

Li Hong obviously didn't expect that after things went around, the right to decide the case fell into the hands of Li Xian again, although he was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, with Li Xian's life, he would never spare the Wuhou party, so he was a lot more relieved, and hurriedly stood up and praised him.

"Your Majesty, your majesty, the ministers are admired."

Seeing that Li Xian and the crown prince have expressed their attitudes one after another, no matter whether they are happy or unhappy in their hearts, they can only praise them in a proper manner, as for what everyone thinks in their hearts, only God knows......
