Chapter Twenty-Eight: Counteroffensive Countdown (II)
According to the Tang system, in addition to supervising the imperial history, only officials above the fifth rank have the honor of facing the saint, and the officials above the seventh rank can be resigned before taking office, and have no authority to face the saint, of course, the holy call is another matter, however, even if the edict is admonished, if the saint does not ask, these small officials do not have the authority to speak, even if there is this chapter to play, it must be approved and forwarded by their superiors, and must not be sent directly to the imperial front. That is to exceed the system, no matter whether the book played is reasonable or not, it is more than one, everyone present is extremely noble in the court, and they will not be unclear about how the rules of the court are, this Yuan Wanqing actually dared to go to court in this book, and they all changed their faces, and they couldn't understand what this guy was crazy about.
"Presumptuous, how can Deer Menglang be like this in front of the Holy Lord!"
Yuan Wanqing violated the system, but all the prime ministers knew that it was a party of the Empress Wu, and although they were suspicious, they all remained silent, but Li Xian had no worries, and unceremoniously shouted loudly.
"The sixth brother is calm and don't be impatient, my father has his own opinions."
Li Hong had previously supported Li Xian's brothers, but the idea was to lead the little brothers and Empress Wu to fight endlessly, not really to help Li Xian, at this time, seeing that Li Xian was about to come out and accuse Yuan Wanqing of being rude, how could Li Hong let go of such a great opportunity to add fuel to the fire, so he pretended to persuade Li Xian.
"Sixth brother, the prince's brother is right, his father is wise, and there should be a holy judge."
Li Xian's temper has always been strong, and when he was so provoked by Li Hong, his face turned red, and he was so angry that he immediately wanted to argue with Li Hong in court, but fortunately, Li Xian saw the opportunity quickly, hurriedly stepped forward, inserted it between the two brothers, and explained it with a smile.
Li Hong saw that Li Xian stopped Li Xian's outburst in time, and secretly screamed in his heart that he was sorry, but he didn't fan the flames more, just smiled and nodded to Li Xian, and then turned his gaze to Gaozong and Wu Meiniang.
Gaozong himself is not a person who talks about the rules, but he doesn't want to see someone who doesn't follow the rules to him, this time he saw Yuan Wanqing kneeling in front of the hall regardless of the court rules, and his face immediately became ugly, just thinking that this person is the person who the Empress Wu fancies, and it is not good to attack it, and then he was troubled by Brother Li Hong, and his face was so cold that he could almost drip water.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Zhi is straightforward and outspoken, although this time the reference is slightly against the system, but the courage is commendable, and it is okay to listen to it, if it is inappropriate, it is too late to take serious measures." Wu Meiniang obviously didn't expect Yuan Wanqing to jump out at this time, but she couldn't sit back and watch him be disposed of by Gaozong's anger, and said with a smile.
Gaozong has never been immune to Wu Meiniang's words, although he hated Yuan Wanqing's rudeness in his heart, but since Wu Meiniang had opened his mouth, Gaozong couldn't attack it again, so he could only snort lightly and said: "Yuan Aiqing has anything to say in this chapter, I'm listening." ”
"The ministers dare not forget the society, even if they die without resentment, they have done something recklessly today, and they dare not hide it, and they are specially gifted to Your Majesty, in order to seek a holy judgment." Yuan Wanqing was originally a wild person, not at all timid because of Gaozong's unhappy complexion, nor shrunk because of the violation of the system, as soon as he stood up, he reported impassionedly: "Although the case of Shangguan Yi's conspiracy against him cannot be investigated for some reason, however, His Majesty has already accused him of being a prisoner of Aizhou, according to the system, when the whole family goes, no one is allowed to stay without permission, but now, the minister knows that someone in the court has taken in the granddaughter of Shangguan Yi without authorization, and his crime is serious. ”
"Huh? Ann has such a thing, who dares to go retrograde for this, say! ”
Shangguan Yi knows whether he is plotting against Gaozong, but this matter is too big, but it is impossible to chase it, although the exile of Shangguan Yi is helpless, but after all, it is a fact, Gaozong does not allow anyone to do anything in it, at this time, when he heard Yuan Wanqing's words, he was angry, Huo Ran got up, slapped the dragon case, and shouted and reprimanded.
What a veteran dog, he actually started an article here, hey, Lao Tzu already knew that this matter would make waves, and it would be good to have a seizure earlier!! As soon as Yuan Wanqing spoke, Li Xian had already guessed what he was going to say, although he was angry in his heart, he was not afraid, just because as early as when he took in Shangguan Wan'er, Li Xian had already prevented someone from coming to do this.
"Father, the child knows about this matter, so it's up to the child to talk about it." Without waiting for Yuan Wanqing to testify, Li Xian had already stood up calmly and reported loudly.
"Huh? Where do you start with this? Gaozong obviously didn't expect Li Xian to jump out at this time, so he couldn't help but become suspicious, glanced at Li Xian with a frown, and snorted unhappily.
"Back to my father's words, the person Yuan Zhizhi wants to testify against is about the child, and the child doesn't come forward to say anything clearly, but I'm afraid that Yuan Zhi's words will be sensationalist again." Li Xian smiled disappreciatively and replied with a relaxed expression.
"Xian'er Hugh is talking nonsense, this is a big rebellion, Er'an dares to participate in it indiscriminately?"
Although Wu Meiniang is in the deep palace, but the news is very well-informed, since she has long known that Li Xian secretly took in Shangguan Wan'er, the reason why she can't bear it is just waiting for a suitable time, but she didn't expect that this matter would be poked out by Yuan Wanqing at this time, although she is annoyed by Yuan Wanqing's unbearable anger in her heart, but when it is time to make a move, she will never be soft, especially when Li Xian won a game before, Wu Meiniang thought about getting it back on the spot, if she could give Li Xian a profound lesson, it would be better, At this moment, seeing that Li Xian was about to come out, he refused to let go of the opportunity to run, and without waiting for Gaozong to speak, a hat of "great rebellion" had been waved, ready to be buckled on Li Xian's head at any time.
"The queen mother's lesson is that the child really does not dare to act recklessly, this fact has another hidden secret, and the child is allowed to tell it in detail." Li Xian had confidence in his heart, he was not afraid of the big hat that was about to be pressed down on his head, he bowed to Wu Meiniang very calmly, and replied in a calm tone.
"Oh? yes, then let's say okay, my mother is very curious. Wu Meiniang's ability to observe her face and color is very strong, seeing that Li Xian's faction is confident, her heart can't help but sink slightly, and she has a premonition that Shangguan Wan'er may make Li Xian bend her waist, but she is reluctant to let Li Xian go, so she frowned and asked indifferently.
"Qiyu father, mother, the origin of this matter is still implicated with Li Taishi, when Shangguan Yi first got his granddaughter, he invited Li Taishi to push his life, it is reported that Li Taishi once said, said that this woman and Shangguan's family are in conflict, if you don't give it up, I am afraid that there will be a big problem, Shangguan Lord does not believe it, thinking that it is a joke, and the consequences of the incident happened, and he was imprisoned, so it was caused by the evil slave frame, but it may not be related to this woman's conflict, Shangguan Daren regretted it too late, he thought he would die, but he didn't expect that there was a peak and a turn for a day, and he didn't dare not believe it, Then let Li Taishi push his life on his behalf, and get a quasi-letter, saying that this daughter will be the adopted daughter of the son of the lord of the mansion Bo Zhang Yao, who can ensure the safety of this daughter for a lifetime, that Zhang Taishi is a cautious person, and when he heard about it, he did not dare to be self-devoted, and came to ask the son, the son thought that there was nothing wrong with this matter according to my "Tang Law", so he allowed it, and then the son went to Li Taishi's house to verify that there was no difference, and the reason for the matter was like this, what the son said was true, and asked his father to make a holy judgment. "Li Xian has already arranged the relevant beginning and end, and he is not afraid of inspection at all, and Li Chunfeng has already explained something, and he has long disappeared, even if the party of the Empress Wu wants to find Li Chunfeng to testify, it is very reasonable to tell a lie at this time.
"There are such twists and turns, I don't know, but I have always been severely punished, and let's talk about it, whether Xian'er's move is against the rules." When Gaozong heard Li Xian's words, the anger in his heart had gone to Thailand, but he still didn't dare to assert whether Li Xian's move violated the law, so he named Dai Zhide and asked him to make a judgment.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the old minister thinks that if His Royal Highness King Zhou is true, it is indeed not violated, however, the authenticity of it still needs to be checked before a conclusion can be made." Dai Zhide is rigorous by nature, although he sympathizes with Shangguanyi's experience in his heart, his tone is very tight, and there is no slightest partiality.
"Hmm, what does Xu Xiang think?" After listening to Dai Zhide's answer, Gaozong still did not immediately draw a conclusion, but looked sideways at Xu Jingzong, who was silent, and asked tentatively.
"Your Majesty, this case doesn't seem to be big, but it can hinder the name of His Royal Highness King Zhou, and the old minister thinks it's better to check it."
Xu Jingzong started by framing others, it can be said that he is the most old and cunning person in the court, and he has already had a plan in his heart when he looks at this time, and he can see that Gaozong hopes that this matter will be made small, and the martial arts queen has the meaning of deep research, as for what Li Xian said, Xu Jingzong did not believe half a sentence, but he knew that Li Xian was afraid that he had already made relevant preparations, if he did not move to investigate, nine times out of ten he would not be able to find out why, the key to the matter is how strong the investigation can be, according to his judgment, It seems a little unrealistic to openly interrogate Li Xian, after all, the face of the heavenly family still needs it, besides, this case is not a huge case of rebellion, it is impossible to use a big punishment to try Li Xian such a prince, just rely on Dali Temple to investigate, how can there be any gains, the final result is still not over, but as long as it is an investigation, Li Xian can always find something unpleasant, and this is obviously in line with the needs of the Empress Wu.
"Hmm, then it's okay to check, Mei Niang, what do you think?" Gaozong saw that the two prime ministers said that they wanted to investigate, so he pushed the boat down the river, but he couldn't rest assured, so he asked Wu Meiniang.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare to object." Wu Meiniang actually wanted to make this matter even bigger, but reason told her that she couldn't do anything, in case she didn't get anything out of it, it would hurt her prestige that had already been damaged in the edict case, so although she was against her will, she had to agree with Gaozong's opinion.
It's so dangerous, I finally got through this hurdle! Li Xian saw that Wu Meiniang had opened her mouth, and the big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground, and while secretly rejoicing, she also secretly woke up, constantly reminding herself that the struggle had just begun, and it was not yet time to relax, and the road ahead was still difficult......
