As a result, all eyes couldn't help but look at Li Linfu, Li Qing and Li Longji's acting had made Li Linfu completely understand that he had too much ink on Li Qing, but he was a little bit of a big loss, especially he shouldn't have dragged him into Du Youlin's case, which made Li Longji vigilant, it seems that the emperor has not completely made up his mind about Du Youlin, otherwise he would not agree to interrogate Du Youlin.

Li Linfu's mind was quickly thinking about countermeasures, once Du Youlin went to court, the case would be overturned, and what should he do? Whether it is to face the battle and fight to the death, or to retreat bravely in the rapids and break the wrist of the strong man. It should be said that now Du Youlin's case is not deep in his current situation, and there is no loss in taking his feet away, but in this way, the morale of the Tai Party will rise sharply, and it will have a great impact on the future layout, this is a dilemma decision, weighing the pros and cons, Li Linfu decided not to express his position for the time being, and decided to take a position by observing the development of the situation, his eyes were slightly closed, and the faint light shot from the gap in his eyes stayed on his huge nose, as if the old monk was settled, and no one knew what he was thinking.

And his opponent, Tai Li Heng, who sat at the head of the throne, was in a good mood, his eyes flashed with excitement that could not be concealed, and a touch of red appeared on his pale face, he has been in extreme depression for the past two days, although the emperor has expressed his intention to spare him once, but his supporters are not spared, and will be purged, and everyone will be in danger at that time, and his Tai Party may fall apart if it is serious, Li Heng in order to draw a clear line with Du Youlin, last night he has sent his concubine Du Liang out of the East Palace, and placed in another house, if the situation is serious, He will be immediately retired.

But today, due to Li Qing's intervention, Du Youlin's case suddenly took a turn for the better, and his father seemed to be selling this person's face, what mystery was hidden in this? And Li Qing seems to know Du Youlin's case very well, which is a bit strange, what role did he play in this case, and why did he know nothing? Thinking of this, Li Heng's joyful eyes were filled with doubts.

The whole Hanyuan Hall is very quiet, people are coughing constantly, but the atmosphere is even more tense and depressing, from the early dynasty to the present, nearly two hours have passed, a little Guoyi Duwei's reward has not been implemented, and it has led to the fight between the Tai Party and the Xiangguo Party, as well as the Du Youlin case that just happened, it seems that it has also been involved, today's dynasty is full of weirdness and variables, no one knows the reason, no one dares to come forward, only Chen Xilie's heart is bitter and astringent, he has realized that he has fallen on Li Qing's time, has been an official for decades, I don't know how many storms I have seen, I am old, but I was played with by a newly debuted hairy little man, seeing that he caused trouble, he hated and feared, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

About a quarter of an hour later, a carriage came speeding from the direction of the imperial city, and more than a dozen eunuchs stepped forward to take a pair of soft couches and ran up to Longwei Road, and a eunuch entered the palace to report, "Your Majesty, Du Youlin has been brought and is waiting outside the palace." ”

"Bring it into the temple!"

The sun outside the hall is dazzling, more than a dozen black shadows hurriedly entered the hall, they put down a soft couch, then bowed down, the soft couch is lying on the East Palace Shanzan doctor, Taiyue Zhang Du Youlin, he has temporarily changed into a new clothes, the hair rope slipped off the road, the unbearable hair was scattered and draped on the shoulders, the head was swollen like a pumpkin, the blood marks on the face had festered, and the whole body exuded a foul smell, last night's forced confession tortured him to the point that he could not become a human form, and he couldn't even lift his head.

Du Youlin's body moved, he seemed to know where he was, and his voice was intermittent and sad, "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister for not being able to salute you!" ”

Although there has been a saying since ancient times, the monarch of the Tang Dynasty is far more tolerant of his subordinates than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are few people who exterminate the clan and destroy the door.

It is precisely in this way that the courtiers have also seen less blood, and Du Youlin's tragic scene immediately broke the silence of the court and provoked a lot of discussion, especially the Taidang, who seemed to see his future from Du Youlin's body, and was even more angry, and countless pairs of angry eyes stabbed Li Linfu.

Li Linfu still kept his half-closed eyes silent, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him, he knew that Li Longji would not care about this little thing, such small injuries abound in Dali Temple, for his confession, this is already a subordinate tolerance, at least he is still sane, at least he can still speak.

Far away, Li Longji couldn't see the details of Du Youlin's injury clearly, but from his couch, he knew that his injury was not light, as Li Linfu expected, Li Longji also had no compassion, and it was inevitable to handle cases and beat people, but Du Youlin was still his in-laws, and he was a little embarrassed when he came out, he waved his hand lightly and ordered him to go with the imperial doctor for treatment.

Imperial Doctor Zhang, who checked the injury, was a palace minister, and the technique of healing the heart was better than healing, he cleaned up the injury for Du Youlin with his hands and feet, and turned around to report: "Back to Your Majesty, Dr. Du only has a skin injury, not an internal organ injury, you can ask questions." ”

Li Longji nodded, and said to Pei Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Pei Aiqing, you come to inquire about this matter!" ”

Pei Kuan is burly and bearded, his hair is white, he is the head of the Pei family of the Hedong clan, once served as the general of Jin Wuwei, Taiyuan Yin, retired at the age and is now transferred back to the dynasty as an official, the Tang Dynasty's door valve family concept is very strong, Tang Li, Cui, Wei, Pei is known as the four major families of the dynasty, the Li family is the royal family, transcendent, needless to say, the other three families are not only brothers all over the court and the opposition, their protégés, former officials are countless, the influence on the court decision-making is very strong, and the marriage between each family, one is prosperous, one is lost, So on that day, Li Lin persuaded Li Qing to marry Cui Qiao's daughter Cui Liuliu as his wife

This consideration.

Cui, Wei, and Pei clans, Cui's finally gradually favored the Xiangguo Party through his marriage with Li Linfu, and Wei's has always been a staunch supporter of the Tai Party because of Wei Jian, only Pei's has been following Li Longji closely and maintaining a stand, so Li Longji ordered Pei Kuan to interrogate, also considering his impartiality.

Pei Kuan took the order, stepped forward and patted Du Youlin's shoulder gently, and asked in a deep voice: "Doctor Du, according to your accusation, Li Qing once had the intention of establishing himself as the king of the east in the east, and the emperor ordered me to ask you, when and where did he say it to you, and what evidence do you have, if there is no evidence, then who can prove your evidence besides you." ”

Although Du Youlin was beaten badly, he did have seven points of sobriety, he knew where he was at this time, and he also understood that this was his only chance, although falsely accusing Li Qing of guilt, but it was much lighter than falsely accusing a Tai Party, I saw him sigh, and said with a low wry smile: "Where did he tell me anything about self-reliance, the old man couldn't survive the punishment, so he had to press his handprint on the paper they prepared, and the old man didn't know what was written on that paper." ”

Although the voice was not loud, it was still very clear in the hall where the needles could be heard, and the people within ten zhang of him could hear it clearly, Wang: +. Look, if this matter is pursued further, who forced the confession, I am afraid that Li Linfu will be involved.

Although Li Linfu didn't hear Du Youlin's words, his face remained unchanged at all, he believed that Ji Wen would never involve himself in doing things, and even Du Youlin didn't even know who forced the confession, what he cared about now was not Li Qing, Li Qing was in the future, but the Donggong case was a headache at hand, whether to do it or not, frankly speaking, since Li Longji crossed out those core figures, this case has become a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

Li Linfu peeked at Li Longji, and saw that his expression was indifferent, but his eyes showed a trace of fatigue, at this moment, he immediately grasped the subtle changes in Li Longji's mentality, and there was no need for this Donggong case to exist.

Here, Li Qing also heard Du Youlin's words, but he was afraid that Pei Kuan would continue to ask, so he reminded softly on the side: "Presumably, Dr. Du heard some rumors in Nanzhao, doesn't Master Pei think that's the case?" ”

Pei Kuan looked up at Li Qing, and a smile of approval flashed in his eyes, this person can have such a vision, worthy of the emperor looking at him like this, he didn't continue to ask, stood up, and reported to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked clearly, General Li's statement that he established himself as the king of the East is purely a rumor, and it is not enough to believe it. ”

This is the result that Li Longji needs, the truth of this matter, everyone knows it, Pei Kuan was reminded by Li Qing, and he answered lightly, what the emperor wants is just Li Qing's innocent testimony, as for who wants to falsely accuse Li Qing and who is the mastermind behind the scenes, although these are thin layers of paper, but they can't pierce it anyway, politics is like this, just like the emperor's new clothes, everyone knows that he is not wearing clothes, but no one can say, from the country to the office, all the same.

Li Longji saw that Pei Kuan understood his mind and answered tactfully, nodded secretly, and said lightly: "Pei Aiqing has worked hard, from now on, Du Youlin's case will be handed over to you for trial, and the case will be closed as soon as possible!" ”

"Command!"

Pei Kuan bowed down and took the hot potato tremblingly.

Li Longji looked at Li Linfu and asked for his opinion: "Do you have any opinions on my arrangement?" ”

Li Linfu immediately stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty is Shengming, the minister is far behind, Li Qing's job arrangement, the minister must be short-sighted, and the minister obeys His Majesty's arrangement." ”

Li Longji nodded, and said: "Our monarchs and ministers finally agree on this matter, I am very happy, although Li Qing is young, but his ability is transcendent, he has properly solved the dilemma of Nanzhao for my Datang, and he has made great contributions, and if he goes to the place to exercise for a few years, he will definitely become the Liang Dong of my Datang Empire, Li Qing listens to the seal!" ”

Li Qing took a long breath, strode forward, and half-knelt under the imperial steps, "The minister is here!" ”

Li Longji looked at him, smiled slightly, took out a note from his sleeve, and handed it to the deacon eunuch, who took it and read it aloud: "Li Qing, the commander of Guoyi, has made great contributions in the east and south of the Zhao, and should be rewarded. ”

………

At the end of May of the fourth year of Tianbao, the case of Du Youlin in the East Palace was concluded, and his son-in-law Liu Ji hated and falsely accused, and there was no rebellion, Li Longji immediately approved, Du Youlin was not guilty in this case, but because he falsely accused Li Qing, the staff was fifty, and he was demoted to a Taisheren, and his son-in-law Liu Ji falsely accused his father-in-law, and was killed with a cane in Dali Temple, and his family was exiled to Lingnan. In addition, the Jinwu guard Cao Shen military Yang Zhao exposed Liu's meritorious achievements and was promoted to supervise the imperial history.

Du Youlin's case was caught by Li Linfu and his party, and he wanted to be imprisoned and purge the officials of the East Palace, but it came to an abrupt end because of Li Qing's intervention.
