Di Renjie of Dali Temple and Li Qiao of Yushitai stood up to exonerate Fang Xianzhong, but this time one supported the queen and the other supported His Majesty, so it was obvious that Li Hong wanted to demote Fang Xianzhong on the crime, and it became a lot more difficult.

Fang Xianzhong was also stunned, he didn't expect that he would be able to survive in a desperate situation, above the court, in the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, who had never been defeated in the court, he was very likely to retreat, and suddenly his heart was full of surprise, his eyes were shining and he looked at Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Please Your Majesty and the queen give the minister a chance, this time the minister was encouraged by Pei Yan, and threatened the minister with the minister's daughter, the minister is ...... The minister was afraid that he would humiliate the royal reputation because of Pei Yan's coercion, so he had no choice but to bribe him, and asked His Majesty and the Empress to show the loyalty of the minister. ”

"Get up, the merits and demerits are compensated, in the future, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, you must know how to clean yourself, and as the quasi-father-in-law of King Pei, you should lead by example, win face for the royal family, do your duty for the court, and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty." Li Zhi waved his hand lazily and motioned for Fang Xianzhong to get up.

The words obviously wrote off Fang Xianzhong's matter like this, and Li Yiyan, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department, took a step forward and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Hong, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled that he didn't need to admonish His Majesty.

The mouthpieces of the two people, Dali Temple and Yushitai, agreed, and personally exonerated them, their own criminal department itself is half a block shorter than others, and it is obviously impossible to punish Fang Xianzhong.

Li Yiyan was slightly stunned, and saw Li Hong waving his hand, so he retreated to the ranks of the courtiers again, silently listening to what happened next in the court.

"This account has been written down for you, if you dare to do it again in the future! Pei Yan is your Fang Xianzhong's ....... Li Hong looked at Fang Xianzhong, who was shocked and happy, and warned that he was interrupted by his dragon father halfway.

"It's understandable for Shangguan Yi to take up the post of Zhongshu Ling, but I think this matter still needs to be considered, so let's do it, in view of the heavy government affairs before the Yuan Yuan, and I can't do without Zhongshu Ling to assist me, let Shangguan Yi act as an agent for a few days, and after the Yuan Dynasty, this matter will be discussed." Although Li Zhi specifically answered Li Hong's question, he did have his eyes wandering on the other courtiers in the court, and he didn't look at Li Hong at all.

When Li Hong heard Daddy Long's words, he looked up at the queen mother! What's going on? Isn't it a deal between the two of us? Why did you still pull your father in?

Li Zhi looked at Li Hong and suddenly looked at Wu Mei with a shocked face, perhaps because he felt sorry in his heart, so he gave the green light to Ouyang Tong as the head of the household department, and he didn't even ask again, and handed it over to Li Hong to deal with.

What's more, today, Ouyang Tong faced Pei Yan's angry eyes, and calmly argued with him, and even completely occupied the overwhelming momentum, and Li Zhi had no way to refuse Li Hong's proposal.

Moreover, it has been more than ten years since the household department has been controlled by Li Hong, and it is about to become an institution of the East Palace.

But this move attracted Wu Mei's bursts of eyes, and bursts of flesh pain, this is a lot of silver, how can you waste this opportunity to pit Li Hong so in vain!

Although the post of Zhongshu Ling was not set to death, no matter what, whether it was His Majesty's face to the crown prince Li Hong, or because Shangguanyi was indeed the best candidate, Li Zhi did not seal the mouth, and still left Li Hong with a chance, and only Shangguanyi he proposed had the greatest chance.

For other courtiers who coveted the position of Zhongshu Ling, although the remaining chances of competition seemed to be there, they were actually extremely slim.

Today's court, it seems that only one Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan has fallen, but next in the court, there will be many officials who will be implicated, and it may be that the courtiers who stand side by side with themselves today will enter Dali Temple tomorrow and will not be able to come out.

Ma Zai was forcibly placed in the Ministry of Industry by Li Hong, and the grade was the same as when he was in Anxi, he was not promoted but moved, and was appointed as the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, and people with a discerning eye can also see that the next secretary of the Ministry of Industry is none other than Ma Zai! It's just a matter of time.

In this way, Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province are firmly controlled by Li Hong, and about Menxia Province, it is not something that he can touch at will now, after all, Menxia Province is equivalent to His Majesty's mind, no matter which national policy formulated by Zhongshu Province, it must be approved by Menxia Province, and then approved by the emperor, it will be handed over to Shangshu Province for implementation.

Therefore, Menxia Province originally seemed to be an unimportant position, but after Li Hong took charge of Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province, Menxia Province became a bridge between the rights stuck in his two hands, and also played a supervisory role, so that he could not have supreme rights like the emperor completely according to his own will.

But today's rights are already the most powerful princes among the princes since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, even if the first emperor Li Shimin was alive, before inheriting the throne, his rights were only limited to Shangshu Province.

And now the crown prince Li Hong has begun to take charge of the national policy and implement the national policy. It's just that one is missing, and that is the decision-making national policy!

The courtiers of the lower court thought about their own thoughts, worried, happy, clapping their hands, frowning and thinking, and all kinds of expressions could be found on the faces of all the courtiers.

It is not such a frightening thing to solve Pei Yan above the court, what makes them feel entangled and worried is the name of the person who spit out Pei Yan's mouth during the trial of the three halls of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, perhaps, after the Yuan Day, there will be many new faces in the court.

Someone looked at the dragon father and dragon mother who left from the back of the Xuanzheng Palace, and hurriedly greeted him twice, but the two of them didn't seem to hear it, ignored him, and slowly disappeared behind the huge screen of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Lian Tie and Wang Lou stopped Li Hong with a wry smile: "Your Highness, just let the slave and maid go, the slave and maid dare not let you go, the queen has a life, if you go over, the slave and maid's head will have to move." ”

"I can't get by, you still have to move your heads." Li Hong is unarmed, so he can't beat people at all, if he has a knife or something, it's okay to cut them down.

But with bare hands, these goods are like practicing iron cloth shirts and golden bell jars, standing there and letting themselves exert their strength at will, even kicking the crotch can't make others feel pain and pain.

"Your Highness, the slave really begs you, in fact, you don't have to go over here...... Look at the front door of the Xuanzheng Palace, it's not very far from the harem, isn't it? Lian Tie won a punch from Li Hong, His Royal Highness's strength became more and more fierce, if he hadn't already tied up his horse steps, I was afraid that he would have been knocked to the ground by his punch.

"! yes, it's a pig's brain. Li Hong turned around and ran, ignoring the side eyes of the other eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, and ran out as if the back of his butt was on fire.

A gust of wind chased after him, and he saw from a distance that the honor guard of the dragon father and the dragon mother were slowly moving forward, and someone hurriedly shouted: "The son Li Hong has seen the father and the queen mother." ”

Hearing the salute of someone behind him, Li Zhi's footsteps stopped slightly, and he was just about to turn his head to look, when he heard the queen next to him say: "Don't look back, keep walking, otherwise, it will be easy for him to see through our plan, in that case, we will lose all our efforts." ”

Li Zhi obediently continued to move forward, and asked in a daze, "When did you reach an agreement with him?" ”

"It's above the court." Wu Mei ignored the shouts behind her and continued to walk forward.

"Is that dazzling gesture?" Li Zhi thought back to Li Hong's strange behavior in the court, and muttered.

"Not bad."

"What does that mean?"

"It's not interesting, Pei Yan has always been a courtier who was relied on by the concubine during the reign of His Majesty, and now he went down to Dali Temple without knowing it, shouldn't the concubine ask him for some benefits and comfort the concubine?" Wu Mei smiled like a flower and said lightly.

The indescribable ease and elegance between the expressions, the graceful and luxurious bearing, the beautiful and fair cheeks, the bright and beautiful phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes can not even see a trace of wrinkles, and she is like a woman about thirty years old.

"Comfort?" Li Zhi is even more curious, how can this be comforted?

Just now, above the court, you didn't say a word when you punished Pei Yan, why did you say it now? Since you rely on Pei Yan, you should speak up to help him at that time.

Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi's somewhat unresponsive expression, sighed lightly and said: "Pei Yan is to blame, if the concubine is above the court to exonerate Pei Yan and protect him, wouldn't it be ignoring Hong'er's attack and framing him, wouldn't it make him lose face as a prince?" In that case, how can Li Hong have any prestige above the court? ”

"In that case, how can you comfort me?" Li Zhi was even more at a loss, since the queen knows that the overall situation is important, then why do you want to ask for comfort? Besides, what can he comfort you?

"But Pei Yan is a concubine who depends on and values him, and he Li Hong doesn't consult with me in private, so he starts to design Pei Yan early, where does he put my face? Although the design is seamless, people think that it is completely Pei Yan's fault, but how could there be a money transaction between Fang Xianzhong and Pei Yan of the Ministry of Engineering? Even if Fang Xianzhong wants to bribe others with money, he should bribe Li Xian and the officials, what is the matter with bribing Pei Yan? This was obviously designed by Li Hong a long time ago, forcing Fang Xianzhong to testify and frame Pei Yan'....... ”

"I don't think so, today's court, there are all human and material evidence, how can it be a false accusation, look at Fang Xianzhong's appearance, but he planned to plead guilty early on, and he was dissatisfied with Li Hong's misappropriation of five million taels ...... a long time ago."

"What does this mean? Who is Li Hong? He wants to frame Pei Yan, but he doesn't want other courtiers to see it, so as not to affect his crown prince's prestige, so he has to be thoughtful and seamless, and if others don't see it, do you think I can't see it! Hmph, look at how I slaughter him this time, by the way, you and the concubine will raise the price together, you have to let him have a longer memory! Wu Mei looked at the slaughtered man who ran over quickly, and sharpened her knife and said.
