The cold sweat on Li Xinglian's forehead rolled down!

If there is a father, there must be a son, as soon as these words came out, they scolded the two emperors. One is His Majesty Li Er, and the other is the deceased Emperor Li Yuan.

If you say this to Guo Ye, it's nothing. Even if Guo Ye made a small report to His Majesty Li Er, he could still say that Guo Ye was framing with false words.

Even if Guo Ye and Cen Wenwen reported him at the same time, as long as he insisted on denying it. His Majesty Li Er can't do anything to him. In the final analysis, in order to create the image of a Daoming Jun, His Majesty Li Er generally does not sin people for his words. Even if Li Xinglian really said anything out of the ordinary, he would be tolerant if he could be tolerant.

But now it's different, His Majesty Li Er heard it with his own ears.

Li Xinglian scolded His Majesty Li Er, and His Majesty Li Er endured it. That can also be explained by the fact that His Majesty Li Er is broad-minded and humbly accepts. But what about Li Xinglian's scolding of Gaozu Li Yuan? I heard that others scolded their fathers indifferently, not to mention the emperor, even ordinary people, they had to be scolded for being a wreck!

In this situation, His Majesty Li Er did not cure Li Xinglian's crime, that is, unfilial piety! From any point of view, Li Xinglian can't please today.

Li Xinglian's mind turned sharply, and he said: "Your Majesty is aware of it, this is all a trick given by Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin, to Wei Chen." He deliberately invited you behind the screen, and then lured Weichen to speak ill of you. The culprit of this matter is Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin! ”

His Majesty Li Er was all angry with him, and said, "Guo Ye, the Duke of Qin? You say that he lured you to slander me and the emperor? ”

"Exactly."

"Okay, even if Qin Guogong deliberately made a statement to lure you to slander me and the first emperor, why did you fall for his temptation? What if someone tempts you to commit treason? ”

"This ......"

His Majesty Li Er didn't wait for Li Xinglian to think of his defense, and then said: "Besides, the surname of the Duke of Qin is Guo Mingye. It's not the revival of Zhuge , the single name is Liang, and there is also a word called Kong Ming. How could he have invited me before he knew that you were coming to beat the drum of injustice today? ”

"Hmm...... Maybe Guo Ye temporarily wanted to frame Weichen, but it is unknown. ”

"Then you and Guo Ye had a holiday?"

"There was no injustice in the past, and there is no hatred in the near future."

"Since Guo Ye has no grievances with you, why did he frame you?"

"This ......"

His Majesty Li Er sighed and said, "Tell you, Li Xinglian, you are completely a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain." In fact, today Qin Guogong didn't know that I was behind the screen at all. ”

Li Xinglian frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is a bit excessive...... The Duke of Qin is the order of Chang'an, how can he hide the affairs within the Chang'an Mansion? ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it, today is the first time that Guo has come to the government to look at things." If you want to say that you have an understanding of the government office, you are not much better than Li Shilang. ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "Cen Wenwen, you tell Li Shilang, who brought me to Chang'an Mansion?" ”

Cen Wenwen shook his head at Li Xinglian and said, "I brought Your Majesty here." ”

"You ......," Guo Ye and Li Xinglian exclaimed together.

Now, of course, Li Xinglian can't say that His Majesty Li Er's purpose today is to secretly investigate whether Guo Ye bends the law for personal gain, so he has to say: "Li Shilang." Didn't I say just now, I came to the government today for my brother's lawsuit. Qin Guogong was selfless and did not enter the oil and salt, so I had no choice but to invite His Majesty over. ”

"So, do you want Your Majesty to intercede for Brother Ling in front of the Duke of Qin?"

"Exactly."

"Then I don't understand, you have to ask for mercy in person, right? Your Majesty is hiding behind the screen, what's the matter? ”

"This ...... Actually, that's what happened. Isn't the lawsuit of the younger brother still undecided? I invited Your Majesty here just in case. In case the lawsuit of the younger brother loses, then please ask Your Majesty to intercede for the younger brother. What if the lawsuit wins? Your Majesty doesn't have to come forward. ”

"Humph! Even if you have a point. As a monarch, so sneaky, what kind of system has he become? ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "You don't care about other people's rights and wrongs first. Just talking about yourself, what should you be guilty of slandering the emperor? ”

So far, Li Xinglian has simply broken the jar and said, "May I ask Your Majesty, what does it mean to slander the emperor?" ”

"Do you still repeat it with me? You say that the emperor was morally corrupt, but I have heard it with my own ears. Do you still want to deny it? ”

Li Xing said honestly: "What Your Majesty said, Weichen does not dare to agree. The matter of the first emperor degrading his husband and accepting his wife was not fabricated by Wei Chen, but a fact that had already happened. This kind of behavior, Wei Chen said a word of moral turpitude, I don't know how it can be called the word 'slander'? I hope Your Majesty will teach me. ”

"This ...... Even if it can't be called a slander against the emperor. But the saints of Confucius all said that they should 'be ashamed of the Venerable', I ask you if you are disrespectful to the emperor, can you be convinced? ”

"Weichen is willing to accept the crime of disrespecting the emperor!"

Disrespecting the first emperor is at best a punishment for copper, and it is difficult to understand the hatred in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, he continued: "And you said that if I have a father, I must have a son, how can this be explained? ”

Li Xinglian's face was full of innocence, and he said: "Your Majesty, do you have to say that you are an unworthy descendant of Gaozu?" ”

"You...... Okay, I don't care about you. But the fact that you framed me for robbing the people's daughters is always conclusive, right? Hmph, Qin Guogong was not allowed to investigate, and directly asked Qin Guogong to issue an official document, saying that I robbed your brother and daughter-in-law. How do you explain this? ”

Li Xinglian knelt on the ground again and said, "Your Majesty, do you dare to swear to the heavens that this matter is definitely not your doing?" ”

"Why don't you dare? The sky is above, and the day after tomorrow is the proof. I, Li Shimin, swear here: I have never seen any Lu Yanniang, let alone included her in the harem. If this oath is violated, the heavens will hate it, and the earth will abandon it. ”

His Majesty Li Er finished the heavy oath, looked at Li Xinglian coldly, and said, "What does Li Shilang say now?" ”

Under normal circumstances, when the emperor speaks, it is called Chrysostom, let alone a heavy oath made to heaven and earth? Li Xinglian believed it at that time. His face changed, he kowtowed again, and said, "Weichen is willing to take the sin of framing His Majesty." ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "Guo Aiqing, how do you say that Li Shilang should be punished?" ”

This question is really difficult for Guo Ye to answer. Speaking from the heart, whether it is Princess Gaoyang or Cen Wenwen, they have no good intentions towards Guo Ye. But Li Xinglian is different, he didn't plan to trouble Guo Ye at the beginning, he was completely instigated by Princess Gaoyang, and he had no ill will towards Guo Ye.

Besides, Li Xinglian's brother and daughter-in-law were arrested for no apparent reason, and Guo Ye, as Chang'an Ling, not only did not help Li Xinglian find people back, but also treated other people's crimes, which was too unkind.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Weichen still wants to ask Li Shilang a few words." ”

"Accurate!"

"Li Shilang, it is said that your brother and daughter-in-law have been missing for almost a month. You should have reported it a long time ago. Why did you come to Chang'an Mansion to complain about your grievances until today? ”

"Well, I'm ashamed to say it. My brother and daughter-in-law were widowed at a young age. In order to avoid the gossip of others, the old man only provided for her. As for the specific things on her side, she didn't ask anything. It was only in the last few days that some gossip reached the ears of the old man. The old man came to Zhong'er to inquire, but he didn't expect that His Majesty was involved......"

His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Do you still think this matter has something to do with me? ”

Li Xinglian kowtowed again and said, "Now Weichen has believed that this matter really has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It's just that the mistake has been made, but what? How? ”

Guo Ye also knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask you for a favor?" ”

"Are you asking me to forgive Li Xinglian?"

"Exactly. Li Shilang just misbelieved people's words, and he did not sincerely frame His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will see it. ”

"Hmph, mistaken people? If he mistakenly believes people's words, he can put a basin on my head? Who can I ask for justice from the grievances I have suffered? ”

Guo Ye said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly." You are the Son of Heaven, how can you be bigger than the Prime Minister's measure, right? This is just a small thing, you have a lot of adults, or don't you have the same knowledge as Li Shilang? ”

His Majesty Li Er said: "It is not difficult for me not to pursue the matter of Li Shilang framing me. But there's one condition you'd like to agree to me? ”

"If Your Majesty has any will, it will be ordered."

"Nope! This is only my condition, not my will. ”

"That'...... Your Majesty, please speak! ”

"Within three days, find out the mystery of Li Xinglian's brother and daughter-in-law's abduction! If you clear this injustice for me within three days, and Li Shilang framed me, I will not pursue it. But if you don't find out about it within three days. Hmph, Li Xinglian will receive whatever crime he should receive, and I will let Wei Ting judge it! ”

"Your Majesty...... Isn't three days too tight......"

"I know three days is too tight. So, it's just a condition, not my will. Promise or not, Guo Aiqing can choose! ”

Guo Ye gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "Your Majesty, your condition, Weichen agreed!" ”
