Since everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, it is natural to smell where the wind in the court is coming from, coupled with the most critical manager of the Liu Mansion in this case as a witness, Zhao Wan's corroboration, the original uncomplicated case has become clearer and clearer.

Almost that night, the results of the trial of the three divisions were obtained, and Xiao Jiao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Cheng Fengao in the imperial history, and Liu Meng, the secretary of the Dali Temple, played overnight, sprinkled nearly ten pages of recitals, and finally sentenced Li Zhen and Xiao Liang not guilty.

Li Chen was very satisfied with this result, and directly approved the performance with a Zhu pen, and then the file was sealed in the Criminal Department, and the case, which had dragged on for more than a month, was completely ended since then.

Following.

In the apse of Yanying Hall of Daming Palace, Li Chen stood quietly and solemnly, looking tall and tenacious, and the waiter was nervously and orderly sorting out the ochre yellow dragon robe for him, Wang Guichang stood behind him with his head bowed, Li Chen's face was slightly smiling, calm and confident.

"Outside-do!"

The long voice of the attendant in the hall suddenly sounded in the Yanying Palace, but at this time, Li Chen, who was still smiling, suddenly became solemn and solemn, and turned to the northwest expressionlessly to watch something silently.

Only Wang Guichang knew that it was the direction of Emperor Taizongwen's Zhaoling, and it had become His Majesty's unchanging habit to pay attention to the direction of Zhaoling every morning.

After a while, Li Chen took a deep breath, and after cursing his hands, he slowly walked towards the main hall with firm steps.

After ascending to the palace, Li Chen ascended to the throne, and the left and right attendants held feather fans and opened, and General Zuo Jinwu said loudly: "The left and right compartments are safe inside and outside!" ”

Immediately after that, the courtiers of the civil and military classes held the wat board and bowed their heads, and then the hundred officials played the matter, and Xiao Jiao, the head of the household department, was about to ask Li Chengye to deal with the matter, but unexpectedly Bai Minzhong took the lead in playing: "Your Majesty, although the Jiangling case is closed, but Jingnan Jiedu made Li Deyu and Li Chengye, the former Jiangling Mansion, form a party for personal gain, and the crime of clinging to the courtiers is unforgivable, I implore Your Majesty to make a clear decision!" ”

As he spoke, Lieutenant General Bai Min presented the fold, and the attendants in the hall turned to take it over and handed it over to Li Chen.

Li Chen glanced at it expressionlessly, then put it back on the case, and said lightly: "Since the evidence is conclusive, except for Li Deyu's title of Pingzhang, he was demoted to the Eastern Capital and left behind, and Li Chengye ......."

Speaking of this, Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Li Chengye moved to Youzhou to see the aftermath!" ”

When the words fell, all the ministers in the palace were shocked, and Zheng Su was shocked that in the face of Bai Minzhong's impeachment of Li Deyu, His Majesty made a decision without even asking; And Bai Min was shocked that for Li Chengye, the implication of His Majesty's decision to favor and protect was too obvious.

Just when the courtiers were at a loss, they saw Jing Zhaoyin and Lu Shang, the squire of the military department, coming out of the ranks, and even calling Shengming in his mouth, and with Lu Shang as an example, the ministers had to immediately echo it, and Li Chen seemed to be a little restless today, and he hastily retired from the court after handing over some complicated and trivial matters to the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate.

......

In the Lin De Palace, Li Chengye and Xiao Liang have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Li Chen come in, the two bowed their heads, but they were helped up by Li Chen before they bowed, "The two Aiqing sat down and spoke." ”

"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen Ziyun, well, it's thinner than I imagined!" Li Chen said with a smile.

Li Chengye was just about to speak, but when he saw Li Chen, he waved his hand and said: "Don't say those lies, I know that you have worried a lot about Qingluan in the past eleven years, and I know that today I transferred you from Jiangling to Youzhou, I think you must have some grievances in your heart!" ”

Li Chengye didn't dare when he heard this, but Li Chen then said slowly: "Although the three towns of Hebei have been divided in recent years, they have always been a thorn in my heart, this thorn is not removed, I can't sleep and eat, but now that I am newly unified, there are still many things waiting for me to do, Youzhou is the head of the three towns in Hebei, but there is no minister I trust, so I want you to go, I want to firmly control every move, word and deed of Youzhou in my hands!" ”

After saying that, Li Chen looked at Li Chengye and said: "I know that this place in Youzhou is not very peaceful, there are Xi people, Khitan, and Murowei departments in the north, and there are Hui remnants in the west, and there are unpredictable three towns in the middle. ”

Li Chengye knew that His Majesty's words were a reluctance to himself, and if he had not had strong confidence and trust in himself, he would definitely not have entrusted him with a heavy responsibility at this time, and more importantly, His Majesty had not seen him at all before this.

"Trusted by His Majesty, the minister will not disgrace his life!" Li Chengye replied with almost no hesitation.

Seeing this, Li Chen nodded slightly, and then said: "Now that Lu Longjie has made Zhang Zhongwu a loyal minister, at least he will not have two hearts for the imperial court, but he is old, and if there is no convincing successor after his death, Youzhou will be in chaos!" ”

"Before that, I thought about it for a long time, if Ziyun can go to Youzhou to subdue the army's heart, then I will let you do this Lulong Festival, if Ziyun can't, then you will choose a loyal and upright person for me to do, in short, you can let go of other things with you in Youzhou!"

Li Chengye thought about it after hearing this, and said: "The minister is naturally willing to share his worries for His Majesty, but I don't know ...... Li Zhen."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have my own arrangements, Ziyun will leave for Jiangling tomorrow, and after making preparations, I will go directly from Jiangling to Youzhou, the sooner Ziyun arrives, the more stable my heart will be!" ”

After saying that, Li Chen turned to Xiao Liang and smiled: "Zhongli, you and I haven't seen each other for eleven years, and I'm ashamed to say that you have been a guard for me for three years, but you have been released by me for eleven years, I think you also have a stomach of grievances!" ”

"Don't dare!" Even in the face of the Son of Heaven, Xiao Liang still had that arrogant and cold expression.

Li Chen laughed when he heard this, and said, "I haven't seen you for eleven years, and you still have this temperament!" At this point, Li Chen slowly put away the smile on his face and said, "Zhongli, come back and help me!" I need you now! ”

Xiao Liang frowned slightly, but did not answer.

Seeing this, Li Chen couldn't help but show disappointment, and then sighed and said: "Since I have agreed to your matter, it is not good to regret it, I have given you a free body, since then there is one less Xiao guard by my side, but there is more sword in the world in the rivers and lakes, alas, the world is like this, it's just that!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! In the future, if Your Majesty is in need, no matter where the ministers are, they will come to help! Xiao Liang said with his head bowed.

"Hahaha! Well, that's what I'm waiting for! Li Chen laughed loudly.

"I don't know, Wang Po and Ling'er ......" Xiao Liang wanted to speak and stopped.

After Li Chen heard this, his face showed sadness, and he said slowly: "They are the people she is closest to and trust, and after eleven years, they should have their own lives!" ”

Xiao Liang and Li Chengye couldn't help but look gloomy when they heard this, the "she" in Li Chen's mouth is Li Zhen's biological mother, Zheng's, although she was just a maid by Li Chen's side, but she was loved by Li Chen, and she didn't want to die tragically under the saber when the manna changed, when Xiao Liang sent Li Zhen to Jiangling, Wang Po and Cheng Ling'er also followed in the past, and it was eleven years in a flash.

After being silent for a long time, I saw Li Chen wave his hand and say, "You guys go down first, let that kid come in!" ”
