"His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven have arrived!"

Last night's events were 120,000 points weird, and all the Zaifu were obviously unwilling to get involved easily, especially in the presence of Li Xian, the party concerned, the ministers did not intend to express their position easily, but according to the court rules, they gave Li Xian a salute, and they all stood silently on both sides of the hall, silently waiting for Gaozong's arrival, which was more than half an hour, until everyone was waiting a little impatiently, a shout sounded, Gaozong and Empress Wu had turned out of the apse side by side.

"The ministers (ministers, etc.) knock to see His Majesty the Emperor, and knock to see the Queen of Heaven."

As soon as they saw that Gaozong and his wife had arrived, the ministers did not dare to slack off a little, and they all gathered their spirits and paid their respects.

"It's all gone."

Gaozong's complexion was quite bad, his brows were slightly locked, and he seemed to be extremely worried, and after he sat down, he didn't say much, but raised his hand indifferently and casually commanded.

"Erchen (ministers, etc.) thank Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Gaozong could do whatever he wanted, but the courtiers didn't dare to lose their manners, and according to the court rules, they thanked them loudly, and then they stood on both sides of the main hall.

"Xian'er, what happened to the granary of the 'Deng Kee Firm' last night?"

Although there was a recital of Luoyang Mansion Shaoyin Fan Lubing at hand, Gaozong did not order it to be read, but directly picked Li Xian to take the lead, obviously, there was a different kind of mind in this.

Alas, poor old man, he really came with good intentions!

Li Xian had already guessed Gaozong's mind before entering the palace, and he had already known that Gaozong would inevitably let himself come out to take the lead, and the root of it was just hoping to hear a different report from Li Xian, the party, in addition, he also had the intention of entrusting the trial power to Li Xian, the question is whether Li Xian can take it? The answer is – no!

Reason? It's very simple, emotionally speaking, Li Xian actually wants to be able to let Li Xian go, so he can no longer pose a threat to Li Xian, there is no need to kill them all, after all, blood is always thicker than water, Li Xian is not cold-blooded to the point of not talking about family affection, but from the perspective of the situation, Li Xian is powerless, only because of this time, Li Xian's main energy can only focus on disaster relief and follow-up food promotion, only through these two things, Li Xian can gain a firm foothold in the court situation, and gradually encroach on the power of the martial arts, as for the trial of the case, First, it involves too much energy, and there is a suspicion that the gains outweigh the losses; Second, it is not yet the time for a decisive battle with Empress Wu, and it is impossible for Li Xian to mess up his pace in order to save Li Xian's life!

"Qi Yu father, sons yesterday at the behest of the father, presided over the overall situation of disaster relief, self-aware of the weak, trembling, dare not make any mistakes, because of the granary is the weight of disaster relief, specially dispatched hundreds of East Palace guards to guard the safety, this is a preventive measure, but never thought that there were really bandits attacking, according to investigation, the group of bandits to Chen Xiaotian, Zhu Kaizhi as the head, its many hundreds, the soldiers are divided into three roads, forcibly attack the granary, and there is also the Luoyang Mansion garrison camp captain Liu Mingfu in the name of the thief, want to force the granary, after being stopped by my East Palace guards, Wu Ziqian can not go, My East Palace guards had to divide their troops to block each other, so that they could not destroy all the thieves who came to commit crimes, and their crimes were unforgivable. ”

Although Li Xian was not ready to meddle in this case, he did not intend to make Empress Wu better, so he unceremoniously poked out Liu Mingfu's strange behavior in court.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? So where is Liu Mingfu now? ”

As soon as he heard what Li Xian said was really different from what Fan Lubing played, Gaozong immediately came to his senses and pretended to be angry and asked.

"Back to my father's words, that house has been taken down by his son's ministers, and is now being detained in the granary where the incident occurred."

As soon as Gaozong was so angry, all the Zaifu under him couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but Li Xian was unmoved, bowed down calmly as usual, and calmly replied.

"Take it well, this guy dares to collude with bandits and disrupt my dynasty, his heart is unpredictable, when the nine clans are destroyed, Xian'er, I will give you a will, thoroughly investigate the whole case, and find out the truth!"

Gaozong's original intention was to hand over the case to Li Xian, and he would not let go of this excuse, and under the pretext of anger, he made a decision without hesitation, and he did not intend to give all kinds of people a chance to speak.

As soon as Gaozong's words came out, Empress Wu couldn't help but be a little anxious, in her opinion, if this case really let Li Xian go on trial, the consequences would be difficult to predict, even if he had thousands of measures, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents, and he didn't want to see this situation happen, but at this moment, even if Empress Wu was anxious, it was not good to openly make a decision against Gaozong, and in desperation, he could only hurriedly glance at Jia Chaoyin.

"Your Majesty is slow, the old minister thinks that this matter may be inappropriate, according to my Tang law, the prince's side is the victim party, if His Royal Highness the prince presides over the whole case, it is really an obstacle in the law, please think twice."

Jia Chaoyin didn't want to touch Gaozong's moldy head at this time, but he didn't dare to disobey the will of the Empress Wu, so he had no choice but to snatch it out, and before Li Xian received the order, he said loudly.

"Huh?"

As soon as he saw that the person who jumped out and sang the opposite tune was Jia Chaoyin, Gaozong's face immediately became ugly, and then he remembered that when he was at the banquet in the East Palace yesterday, it was this guy who kept jumping up and down and stirring up and down, Gaozong's heart was on fire, and his eyes instantly became fierce.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks what Jia Xiang said is very true, and please think twice."

Although Pei Xingjian and other Zaifu mostly held a neutral attitude in the battle between Empress Wu and Li Xian, they looked down on people like Jia Chaoyin who did not have much ability, and they were 120,000 points down, seeing that they were going to suffer, but no one was willing to stand up and wade into this troubled water, and the Empress Wu was not good at this time to relieve Jia Chaoyin.

"Starling, Xian'er has always acted fairly, and there must be no possibility of favoritism, and I can trust him to judge the case."

Gaozong is a person who values family affection, and he has extraordinary respect for the brother of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and it is not good to pour out his anger on him, so he can only patiently explain a sentence.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been fair and honest, this is a matter known to the world, however, the law is the criterion of the society, and it cannot be abolished easily, if Your Majesty hands over this case to His Royal Highness the Prince, I am afraid that it will provoke criticism, and the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be good, and the ministers will not dare to take it, and I hope Your Majesty will learn from it."

Li Zhen also intervened in last night's incident, and he also didn't want Li Xian to investigate the case thoroughly, in case Li Xian knew about his secret transaction with Empress Wu, then he wouldn't think about it anymore, so even if Gaozong explained it sincerely, Li Zhen would never be ambiguous.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that what the eighth uncle said is very true, Xian'er has just entered the East Palace, and she is on the cusp of the limelight, even if she has nothing to do, it is easy to be discussed, it is good to be careful, and besides, Xian'er still has the heavy responsibility of disaster relief at the moment, but it is not easy to be distracted, and I hope that Your Majesty will take back your life."

As soon as Li Zhen interrupted like this, Empress Wu seized the opportunity to play, and immediately the big snake followed the stick, and a faction of Li Zhen thought about it and admonished him.

"Hmm......, what does it mean?"

Empress Wu's words are quite reasonable, Gaozong is not good at sticking to his own opinions, but he is not at ease to hand over the case to others for trial, after hesitating for a while, he is still reluctant to take back his life, so he groaned and threw the problem to Li Xian, who stood silently.

"Father and Emperor Mingjian, the sons think that the words of the queen mother and the eighth uncle are all right, and the sons have no objections."

Knowing that Gaozong asked the law like this, he wanted to volunteer by himself, but Li Xian couldn't do so, even if Gaozong's face was full of anticipation, Li Xian could only harden his heart and pretend not to see it, and his attitude clearly stated that he had no intention of presiding over the case.

"Well, okay, who does Xian'er think is the right person to preside over this case?"

Seeing that Li Xian refused to come forward, Gaozong's heart was inevitably lost, but it was not easy to be angry with Li Xian, and Gaozong had no choice but to retreat and count on Li Xian to launch a series of courtiers to try the case, in order to save Li Xian's life.

"But with the father and the queen mother, the sons and daughters have no objections, if the sons and daughters need to cooperate, they should go all out!"

Li Xianduo is a shrewd individual, just by hearing it, he has already understood the intention of Gaozong's question, it is impossible not to be tempted, but it is a pity that the heart is tempted, Li Xian is really no one to recommend at this time, just because most of his henchmen are now officials in other places, and the only remaining are only three or two kittens, which are not on the stage at all.

Seeing that Li Xian refused to come forward, the look in Gaozong's eyes immediately dimmed, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Li Xian was not to blame, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Wu Chenghei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is bold and capable, and has the experience of presiding over major cases, so he should be the best candidate."

Seeing that Gaozong was in a quandary there, the ministers didn't know how to solve the problem, so they could only remain silent as if they were invisible, but Li Zhen didn't have much concern, and stood up again and fired the cannon.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Yue is playing very well, and the minister seconded it!"

Li Zhen opened the first shot, and Jia Chaoyin was not to be left behind, and then he also came out to perform.

"Your Majesty, this kid is steady and seems to be of great use, so let him try."

With the two Zaifu coming forward, the Empress Wu also had a good opportunity to speak, so she hurriedly echoed it.

"Well, then it's decided, and let's discuss it after the trial."

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Gaozong's heart was really obscure, and he was too lazy to discuss it any more, so he dropped a sentence of explanation, got up and turned into the apse, and his back looked particularly gloomy and sad......
