Chapter Forty-Eight: Watching the Play

The sky had just dawned, and according to normal times, the early dynasty had dispersed at this time. But in recent days, the capital has been troubled one by one. First, the prime minister was killed, and the main culprit in the case was not interrogated by Wei Yong, and then the attack on the Zhenfu Division, and various rumors circulated, some people said that it was an assassin hired by the Ministry of Industry, some people said that it was an assassin hired by the prime minister's family, and some said that it was a play directed and acted by Wei Yong, in order to delay the progress of the case.

In short, today's morning dynasty is noisy, although Li Zhen's face is embarrassed, but his heart has long bloomed. The more chaotic the pattern of the court, the better, he can't wait! Letting the ministers below boil against the sky, Li Zhen sat on it and did not move.

"Xu Zuodeng! Catch thieves and stolen goods, catch traitors and catch doubles. You pickled goods with a mouth full of dung, why do you say that the old man hired a thief to assassinate the Fu Division? ”

"Master Li! The old man didn't say by name that the assassin was sent by you, and you reacted so much! Isn't it a thief? ”

"Fuck you! No naming names? Which old Wang Ba just said that the Hai surnamed Kuaishou of the Zhenfu Division had evidence of the Ministry of Industry, and the assassin went to kill his mouth? Ministry of Industry! Isn't that just talking about the old man? ”

"Humph! One of the six ministries of my Great Wei Dynasty is Li Shangshu alone? The Ministry of Industry is engaged in the construction of public affairs, city dredging, civil engineering, craftsman programs, tuntian decrees, weirs and canals; There are no less than dozens of officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and Lord Shangshu is only one of the officials of the third grade, could it be that the officials of the Ministry of Industry have personal relations with Lord Shangshu? ”

Li Hanlin's face turned blue with anger, is this framing him for forming a party for personal gain? I didn't see everyone in the court staring at it with the eyes of watching a good show! Although he usually has some dealings with other officials, but that is all in private, and now he is in the court, so he is in the court, so he is not afraid of the emperor's suspicion, and the little emperor is not so suspicious. I'm afraid of other people, take the opportunity to make trouble! How many people are staring at the position of their own Shangshu?

"You fart! Bah! Seeing that he couldn't say anything about the other party, Li Hanlin spit in the face of Xu Zuodeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but he didn't expect it to be accurate, and a mouthful of phlegm hit Xu Shangshu's brain!

"I'll fight with you!" Suffering from this humiliation, Xu Zuodeng also had a red neck, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight with the Ministry of Works.

What's the point of a real fight? This is the court! It's not a corner market. Other officials in the court hurriedly pulled Xu Zuodeng back. After all, Xu Zuodeng is also a civil official, and he can't stand many people to stop him. Three or two strokes of panting. Seeing that he really couldn't hit the other party, he could only "phew" and salute the other party with a mouthful of old phlegm!

"Enough! How can you let Er and others fool around in the court, and the two dignified and third-grade Shangshu are actually like scoundrels in the market, which is really insulting! Tang Taishi, one of the three princes of the Wei Dynasty, reprimanded.

When everyone saw that this old guy was talking, it was not good to continue to pull, so they quickly stood back in their original position and let the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials solve it by themselves. And Li Hanlin and Xu Zuodeng couldn't continue to make trouble, so they secretly frowned and pulled the distance from each other.

Li Zhen on the dragon chair sighed regretfully, but it was very secretive and did not let others find out.

After seeing that the dispute had stopped, Tang Taishi continued: "Regarding the origin of the assassins, it is all groundless news! The top priority at the moment is to convict the murderers who instigated the riots of the Confucian scholars and killed the prime minister! ”

Hearing that Taishi Tang was going to turn the case over to the court meeting, Li Zhen frowned. As a diehard loyalist of the emperor, Wei Yong always observed the face of the little emperor, and at this time, seeing Li Zhen's displeasure, he hurriedly accosted: "Tang Taishi's words are wrong!" There may not be a false rumor, the rumors that the old man heard are a little different from those of Lord Xu! It is said that the person behind the hiring of the assassin is related to the prime minister's case. If you want to investigate the prime minister's case clearly, the key is still this assassin! ”

"What Master Wei said is extremely true!" Li Hanlin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly interjected. Tang Taishi wanted to pursue Su Baishang, which had nothing to do with his Ministry of Industry, but Wei Yong's words could take out him, the person who really hired the murderer!

The official didn't talk much, who doesn't know who? There are only a few people who spread the news. Just find your own trouble!

"One thing is one thing! The prime minister was killed first, and your Zhenfu Division was attacked later. Convict Su Baishang first, and arrest the assassin, and the two things do not conflict! ”

"Master Tang is not involved in this case, and it is probably difficult to determine the rights and wrongs of this. According to the old man's investigation, in the prime minister's case, Su Bai Shangke did not hurt anyone! ”

"Wei Yong! You don't have to be sophistry there. Although Su Bai has not done it directly, this son can be punished! In this case, the old man will not let anyone use the means in it! "Master Tang is a little angry! Who doesn't know that you Wei Yong is clinging to the little emperor's legs? If this Su Baishang weren't a relative of the emperor, would you shirk it so deadly?

The sarcasm between Tang Taishi's words also embarrassed Wei Yong! But he is not plain and will be bullied, and immediately replied: "Lord Tang's words have some truth, and the prime minister's case does have a bit of murderous meaning!" It seems that there must be someone else behind Su Baishang's murder of the prime minister, otherwise how could the assassin immediately commit murder in my Zhenfu Division after Su Baishang's interrogation! ”

Before Tang Taishi could react to the other party's meaning, Wei Yong said again: "As soon as this prime minister died, the position was immediately vacant, presumably the person behind the curtain was eyeing the position of the prime minister, I heard that Tang Taishi had a slight disagreement with Prime Minister Yan before?" ”

After Li Zhen heard Wei Yong's words, he was taken aback, it was too surprising, yes! Drag the case down the pole to Donald's head,

"Wei Yong! What do you mean? Is it related to the death of the prime minister? Master Tang immediately shouted angrily.

"It's not interesting, Master Tang don't think about it!" The person behind Wei Yong's face is your face, staring at Taishi Tang indifferently.

"You're ......!" Tang Taishi was almost fainted by the other party's posture. But the old fritters, who have been in officialdom for many years, are also experienced in this situation. If you can't say the other party, you will lead the troubled waters to the east.

"Holy! Prime Minister Yan is the pillar of my Great Wei Kingdom, and if there are such atrocities in the capital, I hope that the saint will be the master of Prime Minister Yan! ”

This old horseman! Li Zhen figured out the emperor's mental tricks, and today he came to watch the play with the strategy of "politics is not up to himself", and he actually used me as a shield?

"Ladies and gentlemen! What the Taishi said is extremely true. The people present are all the ministers of my Great Wei. The death of Prime Minister Yan is indeed a big regret for Da Wei! I will definitely investigate this case to the end! However, the assassin who assassinated the Assassin was truly a heinous crime! Dare to assassinate the imperial court officials in broad daylight, Wei Qing's family, I order your Zhenfu Division to make every effort to investigate these two cases. ”

"Weichen Command!"

"It's been a long time since the dynasty this morning, retreat!" Li Zhen quickly finished saying this, and immediately left the court with his sleeves up, without giving Tang Taishi below a chance to stay!

After the dispersal of the court, Li Hanlin, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, snorted at Xu Zuodeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and walked out of the hall angrily. And Xu Zuodeng straightened his official uniform and sneered: "Fight with the old man? In addition to spitting two mouthfuls of stars, what else can you do? Old Puff! ”

However, in Xu Zuodeng's heart, he thought of something else. The little emperor wanted to balance the forces of all parties in the court, and he had seen it before, but judging from today's attitude towards Wei Yong, the ambiguous relationship between the palace and the Zhenfu Division had not changed much.

The little emperor treats everyone equally on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is close and distant. It seems that I still have to be careful. However, what does the letter from the Seventh Prince mean?

And Wei Yong did not stay, and returned directly to the Zhenfu Division after retreating. Yesterday, the imperial doctor sent by the palace had already diagnosed and treated his eldest disciple Li Zhu, and said a bunch of inconsequential words. In short, it's a word, strange poison! He can't cure it.

The imperial doctor came with Feng An, and after taking the pulse, Feng An and Wei Yong explained some of the little emperor's orders, but they didn't tell the truth, but told the general meaning, after all, Feng An was a eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the eunuch, and he needed to give the little emperor some face, and if he told the truth, it seemed that the one in the palace couldn't do without the pacification division.

After Feng An left, Wei Yong thought about it alone for a long time. Li Zhu was unconscious, and Zhu Zhao was also his apprentice, so he would definitely not arrange for him to hunt down Fang Zhiqiu. Chen Ao and Yan Chong have been hunting heads for a lot of years, and in the current situation, the Suppression Division really can't send people. Tie Lihua is the new head catcher, but she can be sent abroad. And Hai Wuxian, the man who came out of the blood prison, has always made him feel evil, as if he will always bring bad luck to people. This time, the assassins also came for him, which made Wei Yong make up his mind and sent Hai Wuxian out to arrest the fugitives.

Therefore, after retiring from the dynasty today, Wei Yong returned to the Zhenfu Division early in order to explain the arrest of the fugitives. Yesterday, the selection of the arrested criminals was arranged, and other arresters were also informed. Tie Lihua and Hai Wuxian also packed up, led their respective horses early, and stood in front of the door of the Zhenfu Division to say goodbye to everyone.

Wei Yong walked into Tie Lihua and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Lihua, Hai Wuxian is this person, you have to be more vigilant." He always had a sense of unease. ”

Tie Lihua didn't know why Wei Yong was so defensive of Hai Wuxian, but she didn't ask much, she just replied to Wei Yong's words: "Got it, Shibo!" ”

Wei Yong was also stunned for a moment, since Tie Zhengsha died, he had never heard Tie Lihua call it again, and when he heard it today, he couldn't help but be a little surprised!

"Master Wei, then we're leaving!" After Hai Wuxian and Yan Chong talked, he shouted at Wei Yong, who was talking to Tie Lihua.

Wei Yong was stunned by the sound of "Shibo", and was suddenly startled by Hai Wuxian's voice. replied in response to the other party's words: "Okay, then the fierce doctor Fang Zhiqiu will ask the two to catch the head." ”

"Li Zhutou was poisoned to save me, it should be!"
