Chapter 61: The old guy is mad......
As soon as Helan Minzhi's words came out, Li Hong knew that the overall situation had been decided.
This time is different from the last time in Pingkangfang, the people present last time were all Li Hong's henchmen, even if they said it, no one would believe it.
But now it is above the hall of the three divisions, and all the people sitting in the hall are high-ranking and powerful people, Helan Minzhi is so wildly speaking, admitting that he mastered the assassination of the imperial city, it is simply asking for his own death.
As soon as his words came out, no matter who it was, don't think about keeping him anymore, even if it is Li Zhi and Empress Wu, you have to consider the surging emotions!
What's more, if you don't kill the prince for the crime of assassinating the prince, then the majesty of the Tang royal family will be lost!
"Did you hear me clearly?"
Li Hong asked a few people in the lobby with a calm face.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhou Guogong was excited for a while, and it was inevitable that he would make a mistake, how could he ......?"
The lobby was quiet, and several bigwigs were silent, and after a long time, Liu Renliang said stubbornly.
Hum!
Is it still stubborn at this point?
"Slip of the tongue? If it weren't for the weakness of his heart, why would he Helan Minzhi be so excited, he didn't move the punishment alone, and he didn't induce a confession, where did he make a mistake! ”
Unexpectedly, the old guy Liu Renliang still couldn't see the situation clearly, Li Hong was annoyed in his heart, and his tone became aggressive.
It was not the first time that Liu Renliang had appreciated Li Hong's words, but he still couldn't help but be angry with Li Hong's unceremonious words.
However, Li Hong did not let him go, and continued step by step.
"What's more, Liu Xiang, as a supervising judge, has repeatedly sabotaged the trial of the case and protected the criminals, could it be that in Liu Xiang's heart, my Datang's laws are just not set up?"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are too deceitful!"
Liu Renliang jumped up in anger and shouted angrily.
Although Li Hong was unceremonious to him before, he finally still had some dignity, after all, Liu Renliang was the prime minister's respect, and he still had to do the work of face.
But Li Hong's words just now were undisguised, almost equivalent to pointing at Liu Renliang's nose and scolding.
How can he not be angry?
"Too much deception? Lone has even more excessive words! Liu Zhengze, as the prime minister, disregarded the law and deceived your superiors and subordinates, now that the truth of the assassination of the imperial city is clear, but you have repeatedly obstructed it, isn't it that there is also your part behind the assassination of the imperial city? ”
Li Hong was already tall, and coupled with the physical exercise these days, he had a strong sense of reprimanding and oppression, and in the end, he directly made Liu Renliang sit on the chair.
Liu Ren was trembling with anger, he was over fifty years old, and no one dared to call him by his name for a long time.
Especially in such a large public, for a while, Liu Renliang only felt embarrassed, and was suddenly stunned on the spot, his face was cloudy, and he pointed at Li Hong and said hatefully.
"Shaft! Shaft! The old man fought with you today! ”
With that, he rushed towards Li Hong.
Damn, this old guy is crazy!
Seeing Liu Renliang rushing towards him regardless of it, Li Hong rarely scolded in his heart.
Although he said it very excessively before, it would not make this old guy lose his mind, after being the prime minister for so many years, he didn't expect this old man's psychological endurance to be so weak.
Liu Renliang is a military general, although he is not young, but Li Ji can dance with a silver gun at that age, if he really fights, Li Hong really can't resist.
"Regular, stop!"
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more chaotic, Xu Jingzong shouted angrily.
From the time Wang Qinian was brought up, Xu Jingzong knew that there was probably no way to get rid of this matter today, and he wanted to terminate the trial at that time.
I didn't expect Liu Renliang, a brainless thing, to give Li Hong a chance in vain, and now that the situation has developed to this point, he still wants to protect Helan Minzhi's bastard.
It really made Xu Jingzong angry for a while, because when Li Hong scolded Liu Renliang, Xu Jingzong did not say anything to stop it, firstly, although Li Hong's words were not polite, but they were basically true, and secondly, Liu Renliang has been too smooth sailing over the years, and Xu Jingzong thought that it would not be a good thing for him to make a mistake.
Unexpectedly, Li Hong's emotions were so excited, which directly stimulated Liu Renliang to this point.
But Xu Jingzong knew in his heart that Li Hong was the prince and Liu Renliang was a minister, even if Li Hong did too much, Liu Renliang could not act directly.
To put it more seriously, this is the great crime of plotting to assassinate the prince!
So although Xu Jingzong was angry in his heart, he still eagerly opened his mouth to stop it.
After all, Liu Renliang has always been good friends with him, and he can barely be regarded as a member of his family.
"Today's events, the old man should be aware of His Majesty...... Including the performance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, the old man will also face His Majesty word for word, just if you are angry, go to the palace and say! ”
Don't look at Xu Jingzong's usual smiling appearance, but he is decisive and majestic when he actually handles things, otherwise he would not be leaned on by Empress Wu as his right-hand man.
This sentence is in a serious tone, without the slightest emotion.
neither favored Liu Renliang, nor did he give Li Hong, the crown prince, any face, of course, this sentence can only be said by a high and powerful person to the point of Xu Jingzong.
If you change someone, I'm afraid you won't be able to control the current situation.
Liu Renliang was awakened by Xu Jingzong's reprimand, and his raised hand hung in the air.
However, Xu Jingzong's basin of cold water made Liu Renliang wake up immediately, he was able to mix in the position of prime minister, naturally he was not a scheming person, but now that he calmed down, he figured out the stakes in a moment.
But in front of everyone's eyes, they were embarrassed to let go.
It wasn't until Xu Jingzong's words of "persuasion" came out that Liu Renliang got down the steps, put down his arm angrily, and said with a cold old face.
"The old man will enter the palace to face the saint, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister!"
After saying that, Liu Renliang threw off his sleeves and robe and left the lobby of Dali Temple quickly.
There was silence in the audience, only Helan Minzhi, who was restrained by Cheng Wu, made a "woo" sound.
Li Hong looked at Liu Renliang's leaving figure with disdain, and sneered in his heart.
Since he dared to provoke him, he must be prepared to bear the consequences, he asked himself that he had never been hostile to Liu Renliang, but since Li Hong returned to Beijing, Liu Renliang has made things difficult for him everywhere, first in the political hall to obstruct the will of the East Palace Liurate, and later to secretly help Helan Minzhi.
Obviously, he is planning to completely oppose Li Hong, in this case, why should Li Hong save face for him again!
Glancing at Xu Jingzong, this old fox is really calculating.
As soon as Liu Renliang entered the palace like this, I am afraid that Li Zhi will soon know the situation of Dali Temple, and he gave him a chance to report the news.
Looks like it's time to hurry!
A smile appeared on Li Hong's face, and he turned around and said kindly.
"Liu Xiang is so old, how can he be like a child, but it's okay, the trial of the case has reached this point, it's time to convict, right?"
Li Hong's voice was lazy, but it exuded an undeniable momentum.
"Your Highness, good means! It's just that His Royal Highness doesn't think about it, how can he explain it to His Majesty? ”
Xu Jingzong said with a wry smile, today he has learned Li Hong's ability to turn over the clouds and rain, and he actually hides such a hole card that is enough to turn the tables, no wonder at the beginning, Li Hong didn't care about the testimony of Pingkangfang and others.
At that time, I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was persuaded by the emperor, but now it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to put He Lanmin to death.
Even His Majesty the Emperor didn't care about what he meant, but this sentence was what Xu Jingzong really wanted to ask.
Could it be that Li Hong was really not afraid that Li Zhi would blame him?
