Lu Yijian's counterattack has not yet come, but Li Di has done it again, on the tenth day of the first month, Li Di came to the Vertical Arch Hall to meet Zhao Zhen, and then went on an impeachment of Lu Yijian, compared to the previous accusation that there was no substantive accusation, this time Li Di seized Lu Yijian's "criminal evidence", that is, "befriending the royal family", and this royal family is the eight kings Zhao Yuanyan.

Speaking of Zhao Yuanyan, this guy is also very honest now, when Liu E was about to die before, he deliberately leaked Zhao Zhen's life experience to Zhao Zhen, which caused Zhao Zhen to resent Liu E, but later when the matter was revealed, Zhao Zhen also came back to his senses, his eighth uncle was not kind at all, and Li Zhang had reminded him before, which also made Zhao Zhen quite annoyed with Zhao Yuanyan.

So after burying Liu E, Zhao Zhen immediately gave Zhao Yuanyan a holy decree, that is, he ordered Liu De's daughter to marry Zhao Yuanyan's youngest son as his wife, in fact, this is obviously disgusting Zhao Yuanyan, after all, he was suppressed by Liu E for so long, and finally wanted to provoke the feelings of Zhao Zhen and Liu E, so Li Zhang simply married the daughter of the Liu family to Zhao Yuanyan's mansion, so that their family and the Liu family also became a family.

Liu De's daughter is Qingzhi's niece, only two years younger than Qingzhi, Li Zhang has also met a few times, according to Qingzhi, the other party has a pungent personality, and she not only has the Liu family behind her, but also Li Zhang's brother-in-law, and even Zhao Zhen is on the side of the Liu family, so after this Liu family's little lady marries, Zhao Yuanyan's family also has to coax and let go.

However, what really made Zhao Yuanyan honest was another thing, that is, when the little lady of the Liu family had just married, Yushitai actually got a secret report, saying that Zhao Yuanyan was self-proclaimed "the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses", and intended to rebel, which frightened Zhao Yuanyan, although his rebellion was not true at all, but as the emperor's own uncle, once he was stained with the word "rebellion", even if it was fake, it could make him peel off his skin.

After the last toss, although there was no evidence of the rebellion, it also scared Zhao Yuanyan's courage, in fact, although the rebellion was fake, but it was true that he had coveted the throne since Taizong, and he had made friends with many ministers in private, these are very taboo things, if it weren't for the fact that he was the only living son of Emperor Taizong, maybe Zhao Zhen really dared to kill him.

It's just that Zhao Yuanyan never dreamed that he had stayed at home honestly, but he didn't expect that the disaster would come from the sky, Li Di actually said that he had befriended Lu Yijian, and the evidence was that he had recommended a person through Lu Yijian as an official many years ago, and that person's appointment letter had Lu Yijian's signature.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" When Li Zhang came to the Vertical Arch Palace, he heard someone shouting, but when he came to the door, he found that Zhao Yuanyan was crying and wiping tears at the palace, but he was stopped by the guards and did not let him in, obviously Zhao Zhen did not want to see him.

"Captain Li, for the sake of the past friendship, please be sure to tell Your Majesty that the old minister is really wronged!" Zhao Yuanyan also saw Li Zhang at this time, and immediately begged him as if he had grasped the last straw.

Li Zhang really couldn't think of any friendship between himself and Zhao Yuanyan, but seeing the pitiful appearance of the other party, it was not easy to refuse directly, so he could only smile and nodded, and then walked into the main hall, only Zhao Zhen was the only one in the hall, and he couldn't make up his mind after receiving Li Di's impeachment of Lu Yijian, so he summoned Li Zhang into the palace to discuss.

"Is Your Majesty really not going to see him?" Li Zhang couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhao Zhen's sad appearance.

"It's also annoying to see it, it's better not to see it, and when he shouts that he's tired, he'll naturally go back." Zhao Zhen shook his head helplessly at this time and said, since he understood Zhao Yuanyan's ambitions, he was very disgusted with him, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was his only surviving uncle, I am afraid he would have demoted the other party out of the capital a long time ago.

Seeing Zhao Zhen's resolute attitude, Li Zhang didn't say anything more, in fact, Zhao Yuanyan is indeed not worth seeing, in case Zhao Zhen sees the other party and is bewitched by something, it will be even worse.

"Cousin, what do you think should be done about this?" Zhao Zhen frowned again at this time and asked, Li Di did not have any substantive evidence against Lu Yijian before, so he didn't take it to heart, but this time Lu Yijian was related to Zhao Yuanyan, this is not a trivial matter, if it is true, at least Lu Yijian's position as prime minister is not to be kept.

"This is an old account from many years ago, and thanks to Young Master Li, he was able to turn it over." Li Zhang smiled again at the moment, and then asked again, "Is the incriminating evidence presented by Young Master Li here for Your Majesty?" ”

"This is it!" I saw Zhao Zhen pick up a letter of appointment from the bookcase at this time and hand it to Li Zhangdao.

Li Zhang opened it and took a look at it, and found that it was an official appointment letter named Church, this Churchill was the person recommended by Zhao Yuanyan, and he had also been Zhao Yuanyan's doorman, and at the end of the appointment letter, there was indeed Lu Yijian's signature, but in addition to Lu Yijian's name, Li Zhang also saw the name of another person.

"Huh? Why does Young Master Li have a name? Li Zhang also exclaimed in surprise when he saw Li Di's name written on the back of Lu Yijian.

"At that time, Lu Yijian and Li Shaofu were both in Zhongshu Province, and Lu Yijian was still a subordinate of Li Shaofu, so the officials he recommended must also be approved by Li Shaofu, and according to Li Shaofu, when this letter of appointment was sent to him, there was Lu Yijian's signature, so he signed it directly without looking closely, at most it was a crime of negligence, but Lu Yijian was convicted of colluding with Uncle Bawang." Zhao Zhen explained with a disappointed face at this time, it seemed that he had believed this incriminating evidence.

Hearing this, Li Zhang looked at the appointment letter carefully, and then asked again: "Now that this matter has spread all over the city, Lu Xiang must also know, since His Majesty suspects that he is colluding with the Eight Great Kings, it is better to find him and see what he has to say, or directly let him confront the Eight Great Kings face to face." ”

Hearing Li Zhang's words, Zhao Zhen also pondered for a moment at this time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, then summon Lu Yijian into the palace, as for Uncle Eight Wang, forget it, let him go home early, this matter will not implicate him!" ”

Li Zhang also nodded when he heard this, and then someone took the order to leave, and Zhao Yuanyan's shouting outside quickly disappeared, it seemed that he was persuaded by the palace people, but Zhao Yuanyan didn't want to turn over again in his life, after all, with his age, it was impossible to wait for the opportunity to turn over.

After a while, Lu Yijian rushed over, the political hall was originally in the imperial city, I have to say that Lu Yijian's concentration was extraordinary, and at this time, he was still handling government affairs in the political hall, ignoring the rumors flying outside.

"Your Majesty!" After Lu Yijian entered the main hall, he immediately saluted Zhao Zhen.

"Flat, Young Master Li participated in Lu Xiang's friendship with the royal family, can you admit this matter Lu Xiang?" Zhao Zhen's face was not very good when he saw Lu Yijian, and he even asked straight to the point.

"The minister is afraid, this matter is very old, and the minister really doesn't remember recommending Churchill!" I saw that Lu Yijian said with a confused expression at this time, as if he really didn't remember that there had been such an incident.

Seeing that Lu Yijian wanted to deny it, Zhao Zhen was even more annoyed, Li Zhang also sighed at this time, and then sent the appointment to Lu Yijian, only to see that the other party also read it seriously, and when he saw his name at the end, his face also changed, and then he showed a contemplative expression, as if he was trying to recall this incident.

"Your Majesty, the minister seems to have signed this letter of appointment, and in addition to the name of the minister, there is also the name of Young Master Li, so the minister wants to ask His Majesty to summon Young Master Li, and the minister wants to confront him in court!" I saw that Lu Yijian suddenly spoke again at this time.

Seeing that Lu Yijian still refused to admit his guilt at this time, Zhao Zhen was even more annoyed, but at this time, Li Zhang coughed dryly and pleaded for Lu Yijian: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiang's request is also reasonable, I believe that Young Master Li is definitely willing to confront Lu Yuantang!" ”

Li Zhang's face is still very useful, so Zhao Zhen suppressed his anger again at this time, and ordered Li Di to be invited, but soon Li Di also rushed over, in fact, when Lu Yijian was summoned to the Vertical Arch Palace, Li Di rushed to wait for news outside the palace gate.

"Young Master Li, Lu Xiang can't remember the issue of this letter of appointment, you can help him recall it!" Zhao Zhen said again with some impatience after seeing Li Di come in, he originally had high hopes for Lu Yijian, generally speaking, as long as the other party did not make a big mistake, he could tolerate it, but this time he made friends with the royal family and violated his rebellion.

"Your Majesty, the minister remembers very clearly, that day it was Lu Yijian who brought Churchill's letter of appointment to me to sign, and at that time, the minister trusted Lu Yijian very much, and signed it without looking closely, please Your Majesty punish the minister's negligence!" Li Di also saluted at the end, and glanced at Lu Yijian next to him, he only committed a small crime of negligence, at most he was reprimanded, but Lu Yijian committed the felony of befriending the royal family, and no one wanted to save him now.

"Lu Yijian, what else do you have to say?" Zhao Zhen also stared at Lu Yijian when he heard this and asked, his face was also dark and scary, if Lu Yijian directly admitted the crime at the beginning, he might not be so angry, and he might even favor Lu Yijian, but now Lu Yijian wants to deny it, which makes him even more annoyed, if the charge is confirmed, I am afraid it will not be as simple as dismissal.

I saw that Lu Yijian was an old god at this time, and glanced at Li Di, and then suddenly smiled slightly and asked, "Young Master Li, are you sure that I personally took this appointment letter and asked you to sign it at that time?" ”

"Of course, although the old man is old, he is not yet old and confused!" Li Di said again categorically, and scolded Lu Yijian by the way, but Li Zhang next to him suddenly felt that Li Di was going to be unlucky, because he found that there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of Lu Yijian's mouth.
