On this day, the wind was strong and the sky was full of dark clouds, but fortunately there was no rain.

Just like the last time the ministers gathered, all those who had the qualifications to go to the court, whether it was the officials of the Chang Dynasty, the officials of the Six Dynasties, or the officials of the Nine Dynasties, all arrived here on time to witness the moment when a new monarch might be produced. As for the high-ranking officials with voting rights at the front, they have been harassed by almost all the candidates for several days, some have given plural promises, and some have never shown their mouths, and even while they are talking about it in twos and threes, everyone is still cautiously hiding their hole cards.

The four candidates on the high platform who entered the re-push list had different looks. Around them, more than a dozen princes who have no hope of competing for the succession are mostly happy, if it weren't for the abstention at this time, they are afraid that they will let the new monarch think about themselves after he ascends the throne, and the death of Feng Wang Li Heng is also a big stimulus, and few of them want to watch this big drama that they have no part in anymore. There are also Tianhuang nobles who are quietly squinting at Du Shiyi, who is still sitting in the east with his eyes closed, thinking that Du Shiyi is still abstaining this time, everyone's mood is extremely complicated.

Among them, Li Shen, the king of the plains, can definitely be called the most troubled one. He is the only one who has entered the Du Mansion in Xuanyangfang in recent years, except for the Cui family of Princess Guangping, but when he came out yesterday, his confused and depressed expression was seen by many people, and they all thought that he had hit a wall with Du Shiyi and returned, only he knew that he was not because he had no hope of reaching the top, but because Du Shiyi revealed some kindness to himself in addition to revealing those secrets of the past. The person who has gone out to fight for the throne has never ended well, so what does that promise represent, how can he not understand?

Suddenly, he suddenly felt that someone next to him bumped into him, and when he looked up, he realized that it was his younger brother Li Li, the king of Qingqing. Although they are both emperors' grandsons, Li Li inherited the right to elect King Qing, so he sat beside him. He was still a little unsure, so he only heard Li Li lower his voice and said: "Don't get distracted, the situation is not right, King Yi has been attacked by a group!" ”

Just when Li Shen was absent-minded, Li Pu, the king of Yi, had already faced the biggest crisis in his life. Pei Kuan had just announced the process of re-pushing, and suddenly an official shouted at the bottom of the accusation that Li Pu, the king of Yi, had invaded people's land, robbed people's daughters, concealed banned books, and had traffic palace shut. Although everyone knows that Li Longji was extremely strict with his children and grandchildren at the beginning, it is impossible for these princes to be as arrogant and unscrupulous as the royal brothers and brothers such as King Ning and King Qi back then, and the authenticity of the first two items is questionable, but it is really a great crime to hide banned books and traffic palaces.

If it weren't for Li Longji, I'm afraid he would have died, even if King Yi had been personally promised the crown prince by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven would be angry and would have to shed his skin if he didn't die!

Li Pu, the king of Yi, was so angry that his face was flushed: "Blood spews people, Pei Xiangguo, how can you allow these rude people to talk nonsense on such a solemn occasion!" ”

Pei Kuan saw that after the imperial history jumped out just now, several officials also followed in an instant to publicize all kinds of lawlessness of King Yi Li Pu, and his face sank. Now that Li Longji is dead, of course he hopes that he can quickly cut through the chaos and settle the new king, and he can immediately mourn and do things, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, even if the royal prestige is reduced, his wish to start and finish well may be achieved, but there will be more troubles. Therefore, he immediately said: "Come, take the clamor down first, and then inquire again after today's incident!" ”

"Pei Xiangguo, since we have used the unprecedented method of electing a new monarch, of course, we must select the most virtuous clan to inherit the throne! But King Yi is greedy and shameless, how can He De enter the list of re-pushing? I'm not telling my words, I'm here for clear proof! ”

When the flying dragon who maintained order today rode forward to arrest people, the emperor who spoke took out several pieces of paper from his arms and suddenly threw them into the air. But unexpectedly, the wind was too strong today, but in an instant, these thin pieces of paper were suddenly rolled up by the wind, and then they didn't know where they flew.

Seeing this scene, Du Shiyi couldn't help laughing: "People are not as good as heaven, this is really not a deception!" ”

"It's just a monkey show!" Azler sneered, and then said in a low voice, "Father-in-law, if there is no result today, there will only be two final candidates, and I am afraid that there will be big trouble during the final day." Do you want me to personally garrison the Sixteen Princes' Mansion to prevent chaos? ”

"If today's re-push doesn't come to fruition...... Hehe, you don't have to choose a day, you can finally push it immediately. However, there shouldn't be such a trouble today, and I, as well as others, everyone wants to cut through the mess quickly. Seeing that Azler was stunned for a moment, Du Shiyi said slowly, "At this time and that time, if the Xingqing Hall continues to delay, I'm afraid that no one will be able to stand it!" ”

Even if the layers of embalming materials are applied now, coupled with those ice basins, in this weather, the corpse will not be able to avoid gradually decaying, and the smell is already extremely strict. The people from the top to the bottom are now temporarily living in the left and right side halls outside the Xingqing Palace, and only those who embalm the corpses are suffering. All in all, this Li Longji's favorite Xingqing Palace, I am afraid that the new monarch will never be happy to live after he ascends the throne, firstly, because the imprints and traces left by the previous Son of Heaven are too deep, and secondly, because this has been suspended in the Xingqing Palace for two days and will not be mourned!

The gale swept away the black materials of Li Pu, the informant, who was dumbfounded, but the accused Wang Yi couldn't help but secretly shout to himself, and wiped his sweat desperately with a silk handkerchief. However, this is not over, King Ying, who can be called cautious and self-controlled, was also caught, and some people jumped out to accuse this prince who was called King Xian after King Rong Li Wan, who once took the rare books of the common people as his own in the name of borrowing books, and even had a house slave ********. Seeing that King Ying's face suddenly turned snow-white, the whole person was also shaky, but he gritted his teeth and did not defend himself, and the brothers around him suddenly understood that this crime was also true!

In just these few days, all the charges of King Yi and King Ying can be verified clearly, how efficient is this, Li Li, the king of Nanyang, and Li Shen, the king of the plains, who is so steady and ruthless?

On such an important occasion, Zhang Liangdi was the same as the last time Li Longji supported the court, and she changed the appearance of a eunuch and quietly blended into the palace. Although she was a little annoyed that the evidence was drifting away with the wind, she couldn't help but laugh proudly when she saw that King Ying was also anxious. Although the Dou family has been fortunate for many years, with the rise of Concubine Wu Hui and Yang Yuyao successively, it has long been very backward, Dou Yi refused to express his support for the East Palace, but some people showed favor to her! There are many people and great power, these people usually think that they have nothing to do with the throne, so they either give up on themselves, or indulge themselves, all of them are dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren who have personal virtues, and it will be difficult to grasp the handle?

Where is it like Li Heng was cautious in his early years, but after becoming the prince, he was repeatedly hit by Li Linfu and became more and more cautious, lest he take a wrong step!

Zhang Liangdi took a breath lightly, but Li Jingzhong, who had arranged for her to come with her today, always felt uneasy, so she reminded in a low voice at this moment: "Crown Princess, for such a big matter today, the inspection at the palace gate is so sparse, so that we get mixed in lightly and skillfully, will there be fraud in it?" ”

"What else can there be? If Du Shiyi really rebelled, after the 6,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, it would be enough to change the dynasty, and it would not be delayed until today! Zhang Liangdi impatiently signaled Li Jingzhong that he didn't need to say any more, and his eyes stared at the top of the high platform, "The drama is coming, don't speak, as long as you can beat Li Sui down, others don't have to be afraid!" ”

Because after all, it was Li Longji who had intended to be the crown prince, but he was not a descendant or a long-term prince, so he was already at a disadvantage in the previous election, even so, he still needed to be dealt with more than Li Shen, the king of the plains!

In the chaos, a royal history and two subordinate records that had just disturbed the order were put down, and Pei Kuan reiterated once again that he would thoroughly investigate what they had reported when he turned back. However, before he could announce the start of the election again, Li Shuxuan, the heir of Zongzheng Shaoqing next to King Wu Li Yi, suddenly said: "Pei Xiangguo, although these two things just now can be postponed for thorough investigation, but there is a more important matter at the moment. In the past, the fire in the prince's courtyard was traced by Zongzheng Temple for many days, and there were preliminary clues. ”

A wave of unsettled, wave after wave, this time, Pei Kuan was simply out of anger. However, when he looked at Li Shuxuan, the heir of Han, he noticed that Li Yi, the king of Wu beside him, was as heavy as water, obviously not surprised by Li Shuxuan's sudden speech, and it could even be said that without the approval of Li Shuxuan, the king of Han, who had never been involved in foreign affairs, would never speak rashly. Suddenly, Pei Kuan remembered that Li Shuxuan's mother, Du Shi, was from Jingzhao Du Shi, the daughter of Du Siwen, and Du Siwen's affection for Du Shiyi was known to everyone in Chang'an City. As a result, he had to push back the urge to question.

If it weren't for the relationship, Du Shiyi would not have acquiesced, and Li Shuxuan would not have reopened the case at such a time. But why don't you talk to yourself sooner?

Li Shuxuan obviously spoke up on such an occasion for the first time. He took a deep breath a little unnaturally, and then said in a deep voice: "The prince's courtyard was set on fire, so that the mother and son of the Cui family, the princess of Guangping, died in the fire, and the poisoning of the young son of the Cui family was instigated by Li Pu, the king of Yi, and Li Yu, the king of Zhongling!" ”

If the charges in front of him just sound like they can bluff people, then the incident that Li Shuxuan confided at this moment really caused an uproar below. In front of everyone's eyes, they saw that Li Pu, the king of Yi who had just shouted that he had been wronged, had a miserable face, trembling and wanting to justify, but he couldn't even speak neatly, who didn't judge in his heart?

And without even waiting for Li Pu to come back to his senses and think of a excuse, Li Shuxuan continued: "After investigation, Li Yu, the king of Zhongling, did not report to Zongzheng Temple and accepted the maid as a concubine, and the brother of this maid was a miscellaneous servant of the prince's courtyard, so he was able to sneak in and set fire to the chaos. After the incident, Li Yu, the king of Zhongling, drowned this concubine to death, and tried to poison his brother, but he was already prepared, and he escaped by fraud, and now he is in custody in Zongzheng Temple, and there are still many pieces of physical evidence related to King Zhongling! ”

This is simply a combination of human and material evidence!

Everyone else thinks that as soon as Cui's mother and son died, Wu Wang Li only said that it was an investigation, but in fact, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, but now I heard that Li Shuxuan, as the representative of Zongzheng Temple, actually analyzed this big case clearly in public, and someone shouted loudly: "How can such a person who plots to kill his clan relatives be called a virtuous character, and how can he be worthy of being a candidate for the virtuous king!" ”
