"Participating in Li Qing?" Li Zhi asked with three points of doubt.

"Yes, the minister wants to participate in the current official department Shangshu Tongzhongshu Menxia Sanpin, Li Yifu, Li Xiang." Duan Baoxuan deliberately read all the top official names that Li Yifu had taken out, and the pronunciation was sonorous and powerful, and the words were correct and round. For no reason, it automatically brings three points of righteousness, and three points of fearlessness. has been an old criminal for a lifetime, and he knows very well about these twists and turns.

This time Li Zhi was sure, and he didn't doubt it before, after all, Duan Baoxuan was not the kind of person who would joke. But he didn't expect that at this juncture, Li Yifu was played by Dali Siqing.

"Oh? Let's talk about it, what do you want to do with Li Qing? ”

"The ministers participated in Li Yifu's disregard for the law and discipline, persecuted the officials of the imperial court, and asked Your Majesty to severely punish him for the crime of abusing power for personal gain!" After speaking, Duan Baoxuan put the wat board in his hand horizontally on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Li Zhi.

After hearing such words, the hall that was still noisy instantly fell silent, and no one dared to say a word. If you were still holding the mentality that it was not a big deal, now it is completely clear. Duan Baoxuan is going to treat Li Yifu to death, and he is running for his life, not only wanting the official position, but also his head.

Ignoring the law and discipline, abusing power for personal gain... Resignation from office.

Persecution of the imperial court... That's where it comes in. If the persecution of Zhongliang is confirmed, is it a trivial matter to pay for one's life?

The majesty of the court is inviolable, and whoever touches this majesty will die.

Li Zhi's brows furrowed in an instant, although he knew that this Dali Siqing was not a good stubble, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he was ready to ask for the life of a prime minister.

"Duan Qing, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. Li Qing is the prime minister of the dynasty, and there are some things that can be said after thinking about it. "Li Zhi is already very euphemistic, whether Li Yifu is right or wrong, he is the prime minister. Speaking of a prime minister, the emperor's face is not good-looking, right?

"The minister was afraid, and the minister didn't dare to speak falsely. What Li Xiang did is vivid, and the ministers have already found out the original committee one by one, otherwise how dare he talk nonsense in this court, before the Son of Heaven. ”

Duan Baoxuan said with three points of crying, which made people feel a little sour. Although I know that he has a lot of acting ingredients, I can't help but feel this way. Even Helan Minzhi had this thought.

"Okay, if you show evidence, don't say it's the prime minister. Even if I am a prince, I will not take it lightly today. Sure enough, Li Zhi fell for it without hesitation. He can't do it if he doesn't want to, if he doesn't say such a thing, then it is obvious that he is shielding Li Yifu. This is not what an emperor should do.

"Your Majesty, there is a prisoner in the prison of Dali Temple in Luoyang, Chun Yu, who was imprisoned for committing adultery and murdering her husband with her lover, and was imprisoned until she was executed in the autumn. I don't know where Li Xiang learned that Chun Yu's family was beautiful and broke into the prison of Dali Temple. Regardless of Dali, he released people. At that time, Dali Chengbi was afraid of Li Xiang's power and was not allowed to release Chunyu's family. The matter was then reported to Shangguan. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Baoxuan deliberately paused for a moment. It gives people the feeling that they are tired and resting for a while, but talking is like that, and if you talk it in one breath, it often doesn't give people time to think. It won't be too shocking, but if you are given time to think, someone will think about the impact of this matter. This guy is getting old.

Three days later, Li Xiang was afraid that the matter would spread, so he personally went to the cell of Dali Temple to find Bi Zhengyi to talk. Less than half an hour after Li Xiang left, someone found that Bi Zhengyi had hanged himself in prison. and left a suicide note, pointing out the illegal things Li Xiang did, and now the suicide note is still asking His Majesty to read it. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a letter from his sleeve, which seemed to be stained with a little prison dust.

As Duan Baoxuan's voice rose and fell, it seemed to bring this Manchu Dynasty civil and military force into a dark and gloomy prison, and Li Yifu brutally forced the poor Dali Temple to death. can't help but make people feel a trace of sympathy for this court official who has died in vain.

Li Zhi has always been a benevolent monarch, although there are times when he kills people without blinking. But after all, it was for the needs of the imperial power, but when this kind of thing happened in front of him, he was still full of unbearable feelings. His eyes swept towards Li Yifu, and he was already angry with three points, which was definitely not a good sign.

Xu Jingzong secretly said on the side that it was not good, if he really let Li Zhi read the letter, regardless of the authenticity of the letter, he would lose in front of the emperor first. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's the emperor's opinion that matters, and no one understands this truth better than Xu Jingzong.

So he walked out slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister sees that this thing is very filthy, and it is a relic of a deceased person, so it must not be presented in front of the emperor, so as not to defile Your Majesty's dragon body." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Zhi looked at the envelope as if it was quite dirty, and thought that it might be something written by a dead person, and he was terrified.

"What Xu Qing said is very true, since this is the case, then Duan Qing will put it away first, and then talk about it later." Li Zhi waved his hand. This is the old fritter, a disaster can be eliminated in one sentence, without them, they will be more able to figure out the emperor's mind, and there is no better way to deal with these messy things than them.

Duan Baoxuan secretly regretted that if Li Zhi read this letter, he could basically say that he had won a small half. However, Xu Jingzong's deterrent power could not be ignored, and as soon as he stood up, Cui Yuqing's face became gloomy. Although Duan Baoxuan didn't change much on the surface, he was also secretly more vigilant in his heart. Compared with a Li Yifu, Xu Jingzong put more pressure on them.

According to the previous design, Xu Jingzong should not have reacted so quickly to rescue Li Yifu. But they didn't expect it, or selectively ignored it, that the person who really represented Wu Zetian's meaning was sitting in the court.

"Your Majesty, what Li Xiang did has been conclusively proven, please punish Your Majesty!" Saying that, Duan Baoxuan knocked his head down again.

Li Zhi looked at Li Yifu, because of the reason of avoiding suspicion, when others participated in you, if the emperor didn't let you go out to refute, you couldn't speak. Even if you are in a hurry, you can only endure it. Now Li Yifu is very anxious, but no matter how anxious he is, he can't do anything, so he can only endure it.

Looking at Li Yifu's appearance, Li Zhi can basically be sure. Even if Duan Baoxuan said a few words, I am afraid that this matter is true.

Without waiting for him to have any more thoughts, Xu Jingzong spoke again: "Your Majesty, the so-called evidence is now conclusive but the words of Dali Temple, and the prime minister must not be convicted because of his words." The minister implores the three divisions to re-intervene! ”

If the prime minister commits a crime, it is normal for the three divisions to be tried. Li Zhi thought for a while and nodded lightly: "According to what Xu Qing said, this will be re-examined by the three divisions in advance, and it will be decided later." ”

"Your Majesty, Dali Temple is a lawsuit, and the ministers think it's better to avoid suspicion!" Xu Jingzong said again. The three divisions will be tried, that is, the criminal department, the Yushitai, and the three divisions of Dali Temple. Duan Baoxuan is not afraid at all, and it is the same with his own three divisions to triage.

But as soon as he heard that Xu Jingzong was going to expel himself, this time he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly arched his hand and wanted to speak: "Your Majesty..."

But Li Zhi didn't give him a chance: "That's fine, then according to my will, by... Xu Jingzong will try this case together with Liu Xiangdao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Lun, the middle of the imperial history! ”

"Due to the exam, the change is suspended!" (To be continued.) )
