Li Xianzi knows this truth, and in the face of the behavior of the Wuhou party to recommend himself, Li Xianzi did not dare to ignore it, and took advantage of the gossip of the rear party when they were talking about it, and their brains were running in a hurry - is the latter party's move really intended to push this problem over, or is it a trick to get away with it? Can this case be accepted?

How did Ming Chongyan die, this question Li Xianzi has the most right to speak, if he really receives the case in his hands, if he can't come up with a convincing answer within the specified time, he will face endless attacks from the Wuhou party, and the pressure will be borne by Li Xian himself, and the invincible image that he has established over the years is bound to be smeared. If the right to try the case is put in the hands of the Hou Party, Li Xian is not very relieved, just because those guys have no bottom line at all when they get into trouble, and there are even fake cases that cannot be created, this is obviously not a situation that Li Xianle has an opinion on, and what is even more troublesome is that once Li Xian refuses to serve as the presiding judge, it will obviously be a little difficult to express his opinion on this matter in the future.

"Enlighten the father and the queen mother, and the sons and daughters also think that this case must be investigated and dealt with quickly and strictly, and the queen mother and the ministers regard the sons and daughters so much, and the sons should be panicked and obey their orders, but the sons and daughters have no trouble for it, and ask the father and the queen mother to forgive me."

The living will not be suffocated by urine, with Li Xian's ability to calculate, he has quickly calculated all the pros and cons thoroughly, and when Empress Wu asked, he already had a quasi-idea, so he stood up unhurriedly, bowed deeply, and thanked him apologetically.

"Bitter? If you have a lot of trouble, you might as well talk about it and listen to it. ”

As soon as he heard that Li Xian had really refused the responsibility of the chief judge, Empress Wu's eyes immediately became sharp, staring at Li Xian with a smile, and asked reluctantly.

"The queen mother Mingjian, the sons and the doctors have always had grievances, and the relationship between them is not harmonious, in the eyes of some people, I am afraid that the sons are also suspected of committing crimes, if the sons are ordered to thoroughly investigate the case, no matter what the facts of the case are obtained, it is difficult to convince the public, therefore, the sons dare not do this, and they can't do this!"

The meaning of the Empress Wu's questioning was very strong, and all the ministers who were close to Li Xian couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for it, but Li Xian was very calm and replied unhurriedly.

"Buzz ......"

The assassination of the ministers of the court is a capital crime of rebellion, and others are afraid of it, but Li Xian is good, and he actually admits that he is suspected of being so frank, as soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked, and the sound of chaos burst out, even if the Empress Wu even pressed several times, he could not stop the courtiers' chaotic words.

"Silence!"

Seeing that the ministers were making a lot of noise, Gao Zong, who was sitting silently, couldn't help but feel a burst of anger, and couldn't help but break his throat, and all the ministers were shocked to death.

"Where was Xian'er last night?"

Gaozong is not as forbearant as Empress Wu, and he often can't hold back any doubts in his heart, and he doesn't care whether the occasion is right or not, and he straightforwardly investigates Li Xian.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, the son was ordered to preside over the Chengtianmen banquet yesterday, because of the excitement, the wine inevitably drank too much, and before returning to the palace, he was already drunk, and now around three o'clock, when Cheng Gonggong came to deliver the decree, the son was awakened, and he slept soundly all night, and he didn't know where he was."

Gaozong's temperament Li Xian knew very well, and he had long expected that Gaozong would inevitably have doubts about himself under the teasing of the martial queen, and he had already thought about countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank nearly five altars yesterday, and he was drunk before returning to the palace, this is not only a micro-minister can testify, but all the ministers present witnessed it."

Seeing that Gaozong was persecuting the prince on the spot, Hao Chujun, who had always been upright, immediately couldn't stand it, so he stood up on the spot and reported loudly.

"Your Majesty is a clear witness, and the old minister is also a witness, which can be testified!"

Although Pei Xingjian is not a member of Li Xian's family, he is still inclined to Li Xian in his heart, and furthermore, he is also extremely disgusted with Ming Chongyan's use of ghosts and gods to bewitch Gaozong, and subconsciously he doesn't want Li Xian to be "wronged", so he also stood up from the side and supported Li Xian in a high-profile manner.

"Your Majesty, the old minister can also testify!"

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was indeed drunk last night, and we can prove it!"

……

With the two prime ministers taking the lead, a group of courtiers followed one after another, and the voices of echoing resounded one after another.

"Well, I can trust what the princes say, and I just ask casually, so you don't have to take it to heart."

Gaozong is not a person with great opinions, the reason why he was suspicious of Li Xian before was because the Empress Wu provoked behind his back, and when he saw that the ministers were all supporting Li Xian, his heart couldn't help but be a little empty, how could he still have the mind to pursue it, and he explained awkwardly.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that Gaozong had changed his words, the courtiers did not dare to hold on to it, so they could only retreat to their original positions in praise.

"Xian'er, don't be careful, I'm also for your innocence, and now that Er's suspicion is gone, this case is still handed over to you, so I can rest assured."

Being tossed by the ministers like this, Gaozong's doubts about Li Xian have basically been dissipated, so he intends to use the right to try the case to appease Li Xian's injured heart.

"The father and the emperor are loved, and the sons and daughters are admired, however, the sons and daughters still can't do this, except for the suspicion of melon fields and plums, the war of Persia is about to begin, and the scheduling and transfer of logistics and baggage are cumbersome, and the sons and daughters really dare not be distracted, and ask their father Haihan to be one."

Gaozong's kindness Li Xian can be understood, but understanding is understanding, Li Xian didn't plan to pull such a hot potato into his arms, so he hurriedly refused.

"Well, the war in Persia is about to start, and you have to show a lot of strength, it's okay if this case is not tried, but the case is serious, and you must have a capable minister to do it, I don't know who Xian'er wants?"

Although Gaozong is weak and cowardly, he is rare among the ancient emperors in the use of troops abroad, and he is always proud of his great martial arts.

"Xian'er can know that the relationship between this case is not small, and it must not be ignored, if you can't give an explanation to the people of the world, how can the court save face? You have to be cautious. ”

As soon as Gaozong's words of compensation came out, Empress Wu immediately became anxious, and she couldn't help but worry that Li Xian would arbitrarily point a small official to be in charge of this matter, so she hurriedly interjected from the side.

Hehe, the old thief can't hold it back, and she is still thinking about putting a spell on our head/tightening the hoop, wait!

When Empress Wu was in a hurry, Li Xianke was not in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to the warning in Empress Wu's words, let alone answer Empress Wu's question, but just frowned slightly and made a look of serious thought, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have an idea.

"Qi Qi father, the son thinks what the queen mother said is very true, the relationship between this case is not small, it is really necessary to be able to think of it, and it is not available to relatives and nobles, therefore, the son of the minister recommended the eighth uncle to preside over the trial, and he will be able to quickly find out the truth, so as to comfort the spirit of the doctor in the sky!"

The hot potato Li Xian himself didn't want to pick up, and he didn't want the Empress Wu party to be poor and tossed, and find other important ministers, wouldn't that make people jump into the fire pit, there is no doubt that this is naturally not what Li Xian wants, so King Yue was unfortunately dragged out by Li Xian.

"Well, starling, Xian'er recommended you, I wonder if starling is willing to share my worries?"

Gaozong still trusts King Yue very much, and the person who listened to Li Xian's recommendation was Li Zhen, so he would not have any other thoughts, nodded happily, looked at Li Zhen, and asked very kindly.

"Your Majesty is clear, sharing worries for Your Majesty, it is really a matter within the old minister's share, and he does not dare to say anything, but the old minister has never tried the case, and he is not good at this way.

Li Zhen was going to watch the excitement this time, but she didn't expect to be shot while lying down, and she was swept in by Li Xian's recommendation, and she was really angry in her heart, and she couldn't wait to scold Li Xian for being a bloody dog, but she just wanted to think about it, but she didn't have the courage to do it, and in the face of Gaozong's ardent expectations, Li Zhen could only refuse with a bitter face.

"Eighth Uncle is too modest, you are the pillar of the country, your prestige is unparalleled, you preside over the overall situation, and then there is the full support of Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion and other departments, why worry about this case can not be solved, the little nephew thinks that you can't do this case!"

Li Zhen wanted to get out, but unfortunately Li Xian didn't plan to let him slip away, so he immediately stood up and killed him unceremoniously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an overreputation, how can the old minister be virtuous, he really has the heart but is powerless."

Li Zhen is not stupid, then I don't know how difficult this case is to deal with, not to mention anything else, it is not easy to try Li Xian, the biggest suspect, without Gaozong's will, he can't even enter the door of the East Palace, and how to talk about the trial, besides, even if Li Xian is willing to cooperate, Li Zhen doesn't think that he can really find out the truth, didn't see that the party of the Empress Wu is unwilling to come forward to fight for the right to preside over the trial, it is obvious that the difficulty of this case has long been expected to be too high, Li Zhen refused to take over the matter of the presiding trial, and he resigned again without hesitation.

"Uncle Eight's words are wrong, with your ability, it is really a matter of raising your hands to verify the case, and this palace is very much looking forward to it."

Not only did Li Xian want to pit Li Zhen, but the Empress Wu also wanted to put Li Zhen on the stove for her own considerations, and she didn't wait for Gaozong to speak, so she interjected a sentence from the side, so that the situation that was originally a confrontation between mother and son turned into a situation of mother and son joining forces to persecute Li Zhen......
