Chapter 1613: Everyone is in danger
Since this Li Zhi left, the hall was silent, and everyone still didn't dare to breathe, standing in their positions, not moving, of course, they also forgot to send the emperor.
Li Zhi is not too rare now.
None of the people in this hall thought that things would progress to such a point, and the process was so fast that they didn't have time to react, let alone stop it, and they still felt that they were still in a dream.
Is everything that has happened before hallucinations?
But there were indeed four missing men in the temple!
Beads of sweat slipped down Xu Jingzong's head and dripped on the ground, Wang Dejian behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, regardless of whether it had anything to do with him, after all, he was not young, but in the face of this kind of scene, he was completely unprepared, and his body might not be able to bear it.
When the two prime ministers of the dynasty were taken down by the emperor at the same time, and there was no warning, because the only one who could move the book order was the emperor, and the emperor had no sign of moving the two of them in advance, not to mention in the Tang Dynasty, even in history, this was extremely rare.
Crucially, things shouldn't have come to this point, because it's completely unnecessary.
But it just happened.
Fantastic!
I didn't expect such a result, and Rao is Han Yi was also stunned.
"Alas....!"
Suddenly I heard a sigh, very soft, but everyone in the hall heard it, because it was too quiet, everyone looked for prestige, only to see Li Ji slowly walking outside the hall, under the gaze of everyone's dumbfounded eyes, walked out.
Lu Chengqing and Xu Yushi glanced at each other and walked out of the hall together.
The ministers then withdrew one after another, but the whole process was very quiet, no one exchanged ears, no one whispered, everyone walked out very quietly.
From the Taiji Hall to the outside of the Imperial City, no one made a sound, and when they got out of the palace, they got into the carriage and did not communicate with each other, which shows the seriousness of this matter.
"Lu Shangshu, please stay!"
As soon as Lu Chengqing got into the carriage, he heard someone shouting outside the carriage, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and said, "Wei Zhongcheng, please get in the carriage." β
After a while, Wei Siqian got into the carriage, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he asked: "Lu Shangshu, why are you pulling me, as a prince in the imperial history, I should come out to speak." β
Lu Chengqing raised his hand slightly, "Wei Zhongcheng, please take a seat." β
Wei Siqian snorted and sat down.
Lu Chengqing said: "Does Wei Zhongcheng want to push the boat down the river and recomplete the justice case?" β
Wei Siqian was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is not a smooth sailing, now that there is new evidence, it should be re-examined, does Lu Shangshu think there is anything wrong with doing this?" β
Bi Zhengyi's case is definitely a shame for Yu Shitai, Wei Siqian was not in Chang'an at the time, and now that Du Zhenglun has brought it up, of course he plans to overturn the case for Bi Zhengyi, Wang Yifang and others.
Lu Chengqing sighed lightly: "If you judge it from right or wrong, I don't know what crime Wei Zhongcheng thinks Du Zhenglun and Li Yifu should be punished?" β
Wei Siqian hesitated for a moment and said, "This will have to wait until after the review to be determined." β
Lu Chengqing said again: "Then do you think Your Majesty will hand over this case to Yushitai?" β
Wei Siqian said: "Lu Shangshu might as well speak up if he has something to say. β
Lu Chengqing said: "It stands to reason that this matter should be submitted to the Imperial Historical Observatory for review, but I said no." β
"Why?"
"It's very simple, Bi Zhengyi's case is widely implicated, even ---!" Lu Chengqing turned his head to look at Wei Siqian and said, "Implicated Your Majesty, you have to investigate, find out Your Majesty's head, what are you going to do?" β
Wei Siqian was speechless.
Lu Chengqing said: "Do you think Your Majesty really doesn't know anything?" Your Majesty knows very well in her heart, but Your Majesty also has unspeakable secrets, Your Majesty has to take care of the court, the whole country, and implicate so many important people, this investigation will become out of control, and Your Majesty can only endure it. But now, even if you don't stand up, I think Li Yifu is also in a catastrophe, this time he won't be so lucky, why do you want to set off a bigger storm, even if you are reasonable, Your Majesty will not be able to keep you. And I pulled you, not all for your sake, but for the country, for Your Majesty, the two Zhongshu orders were taken down by Your Majesty on the spot, do you know what it means? β
Wei Siqian was silent.
"Half of the court!" Lu Chengqing sighed.
.....οΌ
"Virtuous --- virtuous son-in-law, what is going on --- this? How did it come to this! β
After Xiao Rui got into the carriage, his mouth was still trembling, he had lived for decades, he really hadn't seen this kind of scene, this was even more terrifying than Wei Zheng pulling Li Shimin's sleeve, because it was only between monarchs and ministers, but what did the two Zhongshu orders represent, representing half of the imperial court!
Han Yi gently wiped his face with a cotton handkerchief that had just been scalded with tea, and he was sweating a lot just now, but now he was also at a loss, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know, this is far beyond my expectations." β
To say that Li Yifu was taken, he should be very happy, but he really can't be happy, because this is completely not in his expectations, he can't grasp it, he hates this situation very much, he would rather as expected, Li Yifu wins, or Du Zhenglun wins, or the emperor comes forward to calm the matter, but now this situation, he doesn't dare to act rashly, he has to stop all his plans first, wait for the situation to develop.
.....οΌ
After Xu Jingzong returned to the mansion, he immediately ordered his subordinates to close the door, and told his subordinates not to see anyone today. And he went to the back hall with Wang Dejian and Xin Mao.
As soon as the door of this back hall was closed, Xu Jingzong immediately said to Wang Dejian: "Dejian, look at Li Yifu's ...... this time!" β
Before he finished speaking, General Xin Mao shouted: "I said Brother Xu, why are you still thinking about Li Yifu now, we have been miserably affected by him, if Your Majesty really investigates it, we will also be implicated, let's find a way to protect ourselves first!" β
Speaking of the back, he was about to cry, sitting on the chair with his ass, if he could regret it, he would never be this Dali Siqing, it was really a cheat, it was completely a role of wiping his ass.
Xu Jingzong glanced at General Xin Mao, and it was not easy to say anything, General Xin Mao had nothing to do with Li Yifu, mainly because of him, with a trace of guilt on his face, he sighed and sat back in his chair.
Wang Dejian was also sweating profusely, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, trying to calm himself down, after a while, he put away the handkerchief and said, "Uncle, I think Li Yifu is hopeless this time." β
Hearing this, General Xin Mao snorted and turned Lian to the side.
Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Is there no chance at all?" β
Wang Dejian shook his head and said: "If Your Majesty hadn't taken them down on the spot, there might still be room for maneuver, but now it seems that most of them can't be recovered." Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "But I don't think it will implicate us, anyway, Your Majesty didn't plan to spare the two of them this time, why not push the boat down the river and hand over their papers to Wei Siqian for investigation, it can be seen that Your Majesty does not want to expand this matter." β
Xin Mao said: "Are you serious? β
Wang Dejian looked embarrassed and said: "I think so, but --- but this happened too suddenly, too weird, and I don't understand it." β
Xu Jingzong sighed and said: "The old man is also benevolent to his Li Yifu, and now he is to blame for all this, and the old man can only wish him good luck." β
This catastrophe came and flew separately, which made Xu Jingzong very scared in his heart.
......
Harem!
"How can this be true? Outrageous! From the beginning, I gave them hints everywhere, warning them to stop in moderation and not to have to fight to win or lose, but not only did they not care, but they even intensified their efforts, and even moved their hands and bodies on the main hall, whether they still took me in their eyes, it was simply hateful, and I would never spare them this time. β
As soon as Li Zhi returned to the harem, he was furious, and even had a trace of grievances in it, at the beginning, he did give a lot of hints, such as praising Han Yi at the beginning, which is nothing more than a hint to the two of them, you just talk about things, find a way to solve the problem, not create problems, let alone engage in any life attacks, therefore, he was very angry and aggrieved at this time, because his kindness was ignored by Li Yifu and Du Zheng.
"Your Majesty, you first dissipate your anger, for the sake of such a courtier, and your body is broken, but it's not worth it!"
Wu Meiniang hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Li Zhi, handed it to Li Zhi, and said, "Your Majesty, you take a sip of tea first to dissipate your anger." β
"I'm not in the mood to drink tea now." Li Zhi said and saw that the teacup was still in front of him, looked at Wu Meiniang again, sighed, took the teacup, took a small sip, nodded and said: "You are right, it is really not worth it to be angry for this kind of courtier, since they don't cherish the opportunity I give them, then don't blame me for not being emotional." β
Wu Meiniang asked, "Then I don't know what Your Majesty plans to do with them?" β
"I ---!"
Li Zhi couldn't help frowning as he spoke, then looked at Wu Meiniang and said, "I have been dizzy by them, what should I do with them, I really haven't thought clearly, what do you think I should do with them?" β
Wu Meiniang pondered for a while, and said: "As for the crimes they committed today, even if they are dismissed and investigated, it is not an exaggeration, but after all, the two of them are Zhongshu Order, according to the system of our dynasty, if you want to remove them from office and investigate and punish them, you must go through formal procedures and conclusive evidence, so that you must first investigate and collect evidence, but ----if you do this, I am afraid that the concubines will make more and more trouble, and the implication will be widespread, and it will be out of control at that time." β
Speaking of this, she stopped, glanced at Li Zhi, and saw that Li Zhi nodded slightly, so she continued: "If Your Majesty doesn't want to expand this matter, you can demote the two of them out of Chang'an first, and then deal with them after the court and China are stable, then it will be much more convenient." β
Li Zhi's eyelids drooped, he thought for a while, and sighed: "If I wanted to make a big deal about it, I wouldn't give them hints everywhere, but it's a pity that they didn't feel my painstaking efforts!" β
