Body 512 Jewelry
Pei Yan wiped the blood stains on his chest and the corners of his mouth indiscriminately, and the blood stains in the Xuanzheng Hall were also wiped clean by the eunuch as soon as possible.
trembling his fingers pointed at Fang Xianzhong: "Fang Xianzhong, I, Pei Yan, have no grievances with you in the past few days, why do you want to frame me for corruption?" Since I Pei Zilong embarked on his official career, I have worked hard for my Datang, how could I ever think of greedy ink and silver? Fang Xianzhong, you know that you can't escape the blame, why do you want to pull me! ”
"Whether it's corruption or not is not up to you, nor is it Fang Xianzhong's final say, you can know the accounts as soon as you check them, and you can naturally know the silver two as soon as you check them. Since you are determined that Fang Xianzhong is framing you, then you have to think of ways to wash away your innocence, and maliciously threaten your colleagues in the court, so I am afraid that it will not explain the problem, right? Li Hong clasped his hands in his sleeves and walked up to Pei Yan, whose eyes were red and angry.
Li Zhi and Wu Mei, as well as the courtiers were shocked by this move, and now everyone can see that Pei Yan is now in a state of anger, and he is afraid that if he stimulates him a few more words, it will hurt Li Hong.
But Li Hong didn't care at all, his clear eyes stared at Pei Yan's eyes, and continued: "One million taels of silver is not a lot of money in today's Datang, with your Pei Yan's official position as a supreme minister, I don't think you will sell your personality for a mere one million taels of silver ......." ”
"Your Highness, what the minister said is true, and the minister is willing to testify on the spot that the silver taels that the minister gave to Pei Yan were hidden by him somewhere!" Fang Xianzhong took a step forward and said with a deep face.
Li Hong turned his head to look at Fang Xianzhong, who had a firm look on his face, and secretly praised in his heart, as the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, Fang Xianzhong knows that the general trend has gone, and now he immediately joined his camp, in order to bring down Pei Yan, it can be regarded as painstaking.
"You? Hehe. Li Hong turned around and said lightly unmoved: "I'm afraid you can't do it, if you go, who knows if you will be framed?" In this way, you say the place, how about Pei Yan assigning others to go? This is not only fair and just, but also able to convince colleagues above the court. ”
Fang Xianzhong's expression was firm, he thought to himself secretly, and said: "The minister is willing to obey the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, but I don't know if Master Pei is willing?" ”
Pei Yan looked at Li Hong, and then at Fang Xianzhong, the two sang and harmonized, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to be fair and just, but in fact, I am afraid that he has already done a good job, right?
Millions of silver were searched at home! He believed that it would not be difficult for these people, and if the prince had the intention to harm himself, then naturally things would be done without leakage.
And no matter who he assigns, I am afraid that it will be impossible to escape the net that has been laid out a long time ago, Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhi are impossible, just now the two of them secretly investigated and slandered the prince, it is already a capital crime that can be avoided and it is impossible to escape the living crime, and he assigned the two of them to go, obviously he will not convince others.
Now the only chance to save herself in the court, and to dissipate all this unfavorable evidence of herself invisibly, is the queen.
"Okay, the minister is willing to send someone to search for the minister's house, and the minister knows that he can't convince his colleagues in the court by appointing anyone, so the minister asks the queen to appoint it in person, and asks the queen to administer justice for the minister!" Pei Yan looked at the handkerchief handed over by Li Hong, was stunned for a moment, then took it, wiped the remaining blood stains from the corner of his mouth and said.
"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?" Wu Mei slowly raised her head, looked at Li Zhi next to her and asked.
"Eun Zhun!" Li Zhi also had a calm face, he was still a little worried in his heart, Li Hong played such a big game of chess, whether it was directed at Pei Yan or Li Xian!
Let the queen designate someone to go to Pei Yan's house, needless to say, this is Pei Yan's last glimmer of hope, but the queen makes a choice between him and the prince, and the blind know that the queen will naturally choose to stand on the side of the prince, but will she find anything unfavorable to Li Xian from Pei Yan's home!
After all, when he conquered Liaodong, there was also an unpleasant quarrel between the queen and Li Xian. But now that he was ready to fly, he couldn't help refusing, so he had to turn his eyes to Li Hong.
Wu Mei assigned Wang Lou to lead the people from the Inner Servant Province to verify, obviously this is the most just person in the hearts of the ministers above the court.
Pei Yan's face also softened, if it was the verification of the Inner Servant Province, then even if he found Yin Liang, it would be difficult to convict himself, after all, he could still argue that Fang Xianzhong deliberately framed him, thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Pei Yan's eyes, as long as he passed today's pass, he swore that he would definitely drive Li Hong from the East Palace and from the position of the prince.
Li Hong didn't bother to pay attention to the expression on Pei Yan's face, when Wang Lou was sent to Pei Yan's house by his mother, he still confirmed the position of the right servant first, as for the position of Zhongshuling, it was just a matter of playing for a while.
But now, he needs to face his dragon father's inquiring eyes, whether he wants to destroy Li Xian.
Li Hong looked at the queen mother with a calm expression, and then at the dragon father who occasionally short-circuited, and finally shook his head, signaling that he was not for Li Xian, which made Li Zhida breathe a sigh of relief and nodded subconsciously.
"Father, the son-in-law thinks that no matter whether Pei Yan is greedy for ink and silver, whether Fang Xianzhong's evidence is out of nothing or there is such a thing, Pei Yan is no longer enough to serve as the right servant of Shangshu Province, and the son-in-law, as the Shangshu Commander of Shangshu Province, asks his father to allow Pei Xingjian to serve as the right servant of Shangshu Province."
The minister thought it was inappropriate, and the minister thought that he should wait for the queen to verify the situation in the minister's family, and then discuss whether to exclude the minister from the post of the right servant of Shangshu Province. If the minister was wronged and framed by Fang Xianzhong, wouldn't it be that the minister lost the opportunity to serve as the right servant for no reason. Pei Yan saluted Li Zhi and said firmly.
"The minister thinks that there is no need for this, even if Lord Pei Yan Pei was framed by Lord Fang, then what should you do if Lord Pei Yan Pei framed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the crime of embezzling ink and silver? It is the responsibility of Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou to play the wind and words, but it is not the reason why Master Pei is open and frames the prince at will. Could it be that because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a scholar, he can ignore the identity of the prince and slander as a courtier at will? The minister believes that no matter whether Master Pei was wronged by Lord Fang or not, just slandering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is enough to be handed over to Dali Temple for punishment. Li Qiao was gentle and elegant, but his tone was indeed tough and domineering, staring at Pei Yan's eyes, and talking eloquently.
"Since Master Li Qiao Li knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also a courtier Shang Shu Ling, then as a colleague, from the perspective of extending the foundation for my Tang Dynasty, not to mention the recitals of Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhi Erren, as the Zhongshu Order, why can't I impeach His Royal Highness the Prince?" Pei Yan was not afraid, and still argued with reason.
"Pei Yan is right, there is a royal history chapter, as a Zhongshu Ling, he naturally has the right to impeach any courtier above the court, including me. But Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou bypassed Li Qiao, concealed it and reported it to you, I don't know if there is a hidden secret? What are the charges against the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory who conceal their superiors and subordinates, ignore their superiors, and then report government affairs to other courtiers? ”
"The heavier ones were exiled for 3,000 miles, and the lighter ones were dismissed on the spot." Cui Zhiwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said calmly.
"What about the imperial history and the courtiers attacking the prince for greedy ink?" Li Hong looked directly at Pei Yan and continued to ask.
"The heavier ones were exiled for 3,000 miles, and the lighter ones were dismissed on the spot." The criminal department Shangshu continued.
"Slandering the prince for greedy ink for 10 million taels of silver, not for Shangshu Province Shangshu Ling greedy for ink and silver, then should he be exiled for 3,000 li?" Li Hong continued to ask.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Pei Yan, what else do you have to say?"
"Xiaguan ......."
"It's late, just now you have been calling yourself a minister in front of Lone, and now you want to change your name to a lower official, in order to establish that when you impeached Gu just now, you impeached Gu as a lone Shangshu Order, such clever words are really not the work of a Zhongshu Order in my Tang Dynasty, don't you feel ashamed of your behavior?"
"Your ......."
"Erchen asked to immediately order the Ministry of Officials to draft an order, and let Pei Xingjian shoot for the right servant of Shangshu Province. Immediately abolish Pei Yanzhong's post of secretary and order, and take him into custody of Dali Temple, Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou, separated from the post of Yushitai, secretly colluded with Pei Yan, slandered and wronged his sons, and was immediately dismissed and exiled! ”
"Your Majesty, although the minister is guilty, but the crime is not to death, the minister, as the Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Order, knows his responsibilities very well, and today's impeachment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is entirely for the sake ......of my Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, Empress Yu, and Your Highness, it has now been found out that Pei Yan's house has hidden two or one million taels of silver, and at the same time, some jewelry ...... have also been found." The top of Wang Lou's head was steaming, obviously he was rushing back from Pei Yan's house.
"Impossible! How can it be? Pei Yan was shocked, all his hopes were on the queen, as long as the queen sent someone to explain that there was no evidence, he could clear the suspicion, but ...... Why does the queen have to ...... too?
"You go on." Li Hong pushed away Pei Yan, who was blocking in front of Wang Lou and wanted to confront Wang Lou face to face, and said coldly.
"Yes, Your Highness. The slave also found some jewelry in his home, and these jewelry were not made by my Tang Dynasty craftsmen, looking at their patterns and forms, they were very similar to the styles of the jewelry you brought back when you were in Qiuzi. Wang Lou bowed down and said, and at the same time handed a brocade box in his hand to Li Hong.
Li Hong casually gave it to Lian Tie and asked him to present it to Li Zhi and Wu Mei.
"Pei Yan, do you have anything else to say? People have stolen money, one million taels of silver were found in your house, and jewelry was also found in your house, do you think Fang Xianzhong is framing you? Li Hong pointed directly at Pei Yan, whose face had become pale and bloodless again, and asked in a cold voice.
Li Hong knew very well in his heart that when he gave them to Bai Chun's father, he was laying out them just in case, and most of the jewelry was used by Bai Suni to restore the country, and they were scattered in the homes of many dignitaries and dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty, and some of them entered the hands of the Turks and Tubo.
All this, with the suicide of Bai Sunizhi, everything has become a fact! And the person at the head is Pei Yan! As for the fact that he left a knife with Bai Chun and Bai Suni in the rain that day...... I think no one knows what they were thinking at the beginning, maybe Bai Chun knows some?
