Chapter 259: A word wakes up the dreamer
It is Li Xian's unswerving goal to spare no effort to fight the party of the Empress Wu, at this point, Li Xian and the prince have the basis for cooperation, but it does not mean that Li Xian wants to advance and retreat with the prince, after all, the two sides are not all the way, cooperation is okay, and the interests are not bad, but if Li Xianwei is the prince's head, it is absolutely impossible, let alone to be a scapegoat for the prince, therefore, even if the prince has endless expectations and even guilt in his eyes, what should Li Xian say or what should he say, as for the matter of decision, Li Xianke doesn't want to care about it, you can fight for it yourself.
"Father, the son thinks that the words of the seventh brother are the way of the old man to seek the country, this case is very important, it is indeed not to be ignored, with the high talent of the seventh brother, if it is presided over in the center, it should not only prevent the traitor from escaping, but also ensure the stability of the court, the son of the minister implores his father to see it." Li Hong was young and vigorous in the end, and he felt that he had the upper hand, and after thinking for a moment, he took the lead in expressing his attitude.
"Well, Xian'er has always been steady, I have always known it, and now that I am the main judge, then it will be judged by Xian'er and then in this chapter, Mei Niang, what do you think?"
For Li Xian's ability to do things, Gaozong was still very relieved, originally planned to stuff this hot potato into Li Xian's arms, this hearing Li Hong's proposal, it was not inaccurate, but he was worried that the Empress Wu would be unhappy, so he looked at the solemn face of Empress Wu, and asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing that Gaozong and the crown prince had already expressed their attitudes, even if Empress Wu had more dissatisfaction, it was not good to say it clearly at this time, so he could only praise it and deal with the past vaguely.
"Well, that's fine, Xian'er, this matter will be handled by you, you must not indulge in vain, everything should be justice first, I hope that Xian'er can solve this case as soon as possible, I don't know if Xian'er may be?" There was no objection after seeing the martial arts, and Gaozong made a decision on his own.
"It is within the son's duty to share the worries of the father, and the sons dare not shirk it, so they should do their best."
Knowing that this potato is hot, but Li Xian can't help but accept it, besides, let it go to others, Li Xian is still a little relieved, as for how the case should be judged, it can only be seen and seen, of course, the general principle of cracking down on the party of the Empress Wu will never change.
"That's very good, this case has been boiling for a few days, and it's time to put an end to it, Xian'er and get busy, and I'm waiting for your chapter in the morning after tomorrow." Gaozong didn't want to let the impact of this case go further, although he knew that there were many strange things behind this case, he didn't want to delve into it further, so he made a conclusion and ended this restless palace forcing game.
"Yes, the retainers obeyed, and the retainers retired."
Since Gaozong had already issued an order to expel the guests, Li Xian did not dare to stay any longer, so he bowed down and agreed, turned around, exited the palace by himself, and went home......
If you want to judge the whole case in a day and a half, the possibility can only be described in one word - very little, is it reasonable, it is very simple, don't look at Helan Minzhi's confession, and he also has a sharp weapon like the account book in hand, but just detaining all the officials involved in the case to come to check is not a task that can be completed in a day and a half, let alone having to judge the whole case according to the law, Gaozong gave such a time limit to put it bluntly for a purpose - I hope that Li Xian can make a big thing a small thing and a small matter, and don't involve too much, that is, the meaning of a and thin mud, Li Xian can understand this point, but he never wants to do it like this, so how to choose this punishment has become a big problem in front of Li Xian.
Headache, incomparably headache, it's obviously impossible to catch them all, as for catching the big and letting go of the small? It's really hard to say which one is big and which is small - Li Xian, a bachelor from the North Gate, wants to clear it, and Li Xian, the gang of people in Dali Temple, also wants to completely eradicate it, and Li Xian doesn't want to pull it down, just like that, he has been reading the list of officials involved in the case for a long time, and Li Xian has not been able to make up his mind, and his mood is extremely annoying.
"Gao Miao, what are you doing in that sneaky place?"
Li Xian was in a very annoyed mood, and the corner of his eye happened to look at Gao Miao's probe at the screen at the door of the study.
"Your Highness, it's Di Gong who is here."
Li Xian had an order before, saying that there would be no outsiders, that is, even the people sent by the Lu Mansion to inquire about the news were turned away, and the other visiting ministers were all blocked, Gao Miao, as the head of the palace, did not dare to violate Li Xian's rules, but Di Renjie was an exception, after all, among so many courtiers, it is very rare for Li Xian to be called "a certain duke", Di Renjie is one of them, he is visiting, Gao Miao does not dare to make decisions on his own, but he is afraid of shocking Li Xian's thinking, Only then did he hesitate at the door of the room, and when he heard that Li Xian's tone was not good, Gao Miao didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly reported it.
"Oh? It's Di Gong who is here, don't please hurry up! ”
Before Helan Min's case, Li Xiansheng was afraid that Di Renjie would be calculated by the Empress Wu, so he let him call himself sick at home early, and he was busy with the trial of the case, and he really forgot that he had Di Renjie by his side as a master of solving cases.
"Ah, yes, slave and maid are going."
As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, Gao Miao immediately relieved his heart, knowing that Li Xian did not care about his own behavior of interrupting his contemplation, he smiled, answered the promise, and hurriedly went out of the mansion.
"Your Highness has seen Your Highness."
Di Renjie came quickly, and not long after Gao Miao left, Di Renjie, who was dressed in casual clothes, had already walked into the study, bowed to Li Xian who stood up to greet him, and said with a smile.
"Di Gong came just in time, Lone Zheng has something to ask for, please sit down and talk."
Li Xian is cautious by nature, although he has always regarded Di Renjie as a minister, but he rarely takes out those shady deeds to discuss with Di Renjie, basically to exchange the experience of governing the world, and occasionally exchange some opinions on current affairs, the relationship between them is generally more of a gentleman's friendship, not very like the relationship between the monarch and the minister, when encountering such a thorny problem at this time, Li Xian really didn't know where to start for a while, and after giving Di Renjie a seat, he was a little sub-speech.
"Is Your Highness worried about Helan Min's case?"
Di Renjie sat down, and the servants in his own study served freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then retreated. After the servant boy went, Di Renjie glanced at Li Xian, who was solemn, stroked the long beard on his chest, and asked with a smile.
"It really made Di Gong smile, this is indeed the case, well, the beginning and end of this case is a long story, and Gu is good in short, then Helan Min's ......, the matter has come to this, Gu can neither nor want to let those young people run rampant in the court, I don't know what Di Gong has to teach me." Since Di Renjie had mentioned the case straight to the point, Li Xianzi was no longer easy to conceal, and after a little silence, he still decided to elaborate on the inside story of the case, and in the end, he did not forget to mention his own troubles.
"Your Majesty's sacred heart is merciful, this is unwilling to intensify the contradiction, the original intention is good, but how can water and fire be compatible, this matter must be concluded sooner or later, hesitation at this time, it is really not a blessing for the court." Di Renjie quietly listened to Li Xian's introduction to the case, and at the end, he was not in a hurry to say his own opinion, but shook his head and said with emotion.
There is no family affection at all, and if you want to focus on family affection, the consequence is naturally to bring humiliation on yourself, which Li Xian knows very well, but this truth can only be understood but not spoken, even if it is a person as close as Di Renjie, Li Xian does not want to talk about such matters with him, and in the face of Di Renjie's emotion, Li Xian can only be silent.
"The lower official has said nothing, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness Haihan to be one."
For Li Xian's silence, Di Renjie not only did not have the slightest annoyance, but was quite excited in his heart, just because only those who have seen through the essence of the heavenly family can remain undefeated in the battle of the heavenly family, obviously, Li Xian is such a clever person, as a wise man, it is undoubtedly a blessing to be able to meet the master, but yes, happy to be happy, Di Renjie still did not forget to apologize.
"Di Gong doesn't have to be like this, the so-called people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, although the father is the son of heaven, but it is also difficult to get rid of this law, that's it, don't talk about this, and now the matter has fallen on the lonely head, it is difficult to do everything, and the lonely can only do it reluctantly, Di Gong is good at decisive, but is there a good strategy?" Li Xian shook his head with a wry smile, and after commenting casually, he turned the topic back to the case of Helan Min.
"What His Royal Highness said is wonderful, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, okay, hehe, it's difficult to cover everything, so it's not good, and let others annoy it?" Di Renjie laughed and high-fived, and asked Li Xian rhetorically.
"Let others bother? This ......"
As soon as he heard Di Renjie's words, Li Xian was stunned at first, and then muttered a sentence, and suddenly there was a light in front of him, and he already had a trace of enlightenment.
"Okay, it's a good one for others to worry, Di Gong is clever, Lone is taught, so Lone asks Di Gong to worry about Lone for a while." After thinking about the key inside, Li Xian raised his eyebrows, laughed and teased Di Renjie.
"Your Highness has an order, and the lower officials don't dare to disobey, so let's just worry about the last game."
Di Renjie was resourceful, just listening to Li Xian's words, he knew that Li Xian had fully understood his own meaning, and was secretly shocked by Li Xian's understanding, but also happy for the person he had trusted, so he replied with a smile.
The two guests of honor met their eyes and laughed at the same time, and the laughter rippled in the study and spread in all directions......
