"I ask you, how many court ministers have visited the only son of the envoy of the Hexi Festival?"

Li Ci's long sword hung to the ground, slowly walking on the royal road, and his voice resounded through the Taiji Hall!

When some civil and military officials heard this, their faces turned pale.

They never imagined that the emperor even knew about their secret visit to Fan Yang.

Hexi Jiedu made a pro-army side, and his only son came to Chang'an, and these ministers naturally wanted to go and make friends.

"Xuan Cao Zhengchun!"

Li Ci walked to the throne of the dragon chair and spoke.

As soon as these words came out.

The ministers were slightly startled.

Cao Zhengchun, as the governor of Dongchang, supervised the ministers, and the civil and military officials have always avoided like snakes and scorpions.

Now, the emperor summoned Cao Zhengchun, could it be that another group of officials is going to be unlucky?

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Taiji Hall: "See Your Majesty." ”

"Get up!"

Li Ci waved his hand: "Tell my courtiers about your investigation!"

"Obey!" Cao Zhengchun stood in front of the ministers and said: "After investigation, the assassination of Your Majesty was done by the remnants of the Demon Sect, and the reason why the remnants of the Demon Sect were able to sneak into the palace was entirely due to the instructions of Fan Yang, the only son of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy!"

Cao Zhengchun's words came out.

The civil and military officials were taken aback.

"Fan Yang?"

"How is this possible?"

"Fan Yang is the only son of the Hexi Jiedu envoy, how can he have anything to do with the Demon Gate?"

"Could it be..."

The faces of the ministers changed.

A minister came out and asked Cao Zhengchun: "Lord Cao, do you have real evidence? You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!"

Cao Zhengchun said with a smile: "Since the miscellaneous family dares to say it in the court, there is naturally evidence!"

"Come on, bring Fan Yang up!"

Seeing Cao Zhengchun so confident, the civil and military officials became more and more panicked in their hearts.

If it is really like Cao Zhengchun said, Fan Yang colluded with the remnants of the Demon Gate, and the officials who secretly visited Fan Yang above the court could not get rid of suspicion!

Thinking of this, some timid officials collapsed to the ground in fright.

Soon!

The palace guards pressed Fan Yang to the Taiji Palace.

Fan Yang's hair was scattered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't slept all night.

After Fan Yang entered the Taiji Hall, he immediately knelt on the ground with a puff: "Your Majesty, the villain doesn't know!"

"That, I don't know it's the remnants of the Demon Gate!"

"If I knew that they were going to assassinate His Majesty, I would have given the villain ten dares, and I wouldn't dare to know about it and not report it!"

Fan Yang hissed and cracked his lungs.

"It's all my father!"

"This is my father's beloved concubine!"

"It has nothing to do with me!!"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to spare my life for the sake of my ignorance!"

Fan Yang knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

When the civil and military officials heard this, their hearts were silent for a while.

Fan Yang didn't realize until now that when he confessed to the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, he was already certain to die!

Cao Zhengchun reported: "Your Majesty, according to Fan Yang's confession, the supervisors and guards of Dongchang thoroughly investigated 72 officials and 31 relatives of the emperor and the state related to this matter. ”

Yesterday, the emperor gave power to Cao Zhengchun, so that he would not let go of any person related to this case, Cao Zhengchun acted overnight and arrested most of them.

There are still some fish that have slipped through the net, and they are naturally still above this court.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun asked the emperor if he was arrested on the spot.

"Catch it all after retreating!" Li Ci said, holding his long sword.

"Obey!" Cao Zhengchun's expression was sharp.

Suddenly!

Some of the courtiers looked miserable.

Especially the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, his legs trembled.

Because, the third son of the criminal department Shangshu did not return all night last night, and the criminal department Shangshu vaguely remembered that his third son seemed to have gone to Fan Yang's mansion.

And at this time, seeing Fan Yang's miserable appearance, where did the Shangshu of the Criminal Department not know, where is his third son now?

Shangshu of the Criminal Department can only pray in his heart now that his third son is not too deeply involved with Fan Yang.

Otherwise, more than 100 lives in his Shangshu Mansion will probably have to be confessed in Dongchang.

Li Ci glanced at Fan Yang: "This person colluded with the remnants of the Demon Gate, the crime is unforgivable, pull it out and behead it!"

Li Ci said 'beheaded' lightly, and Fan Yang's fate was decided.

It seems that Fan Yang is not a son of a festival, but a cat and a dog on the road.

"Obey!" Cao Zhengchun immediately received the order.

Cao Zhengchun doesn't care what Fan Yang's identity is, as long as the emperor speaks, Cao Zhengchun dares to do anything.

"Your Majesty, by all means..."

Hubu Shangshu came out and said loudly.

"Fan Yang's assassination of His Majesty is indeed a heinous crime, but his father, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, has an army of 500,000, once he knows that his only son died in Chang'an, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Tobe Shangshu said stiffly.

"Temperance envoy?"

"Half a million troops?"

Li Ci's eyes were gloomy and he glanced at the court.

"Who is the envoy of Hexi Jiedu?"

"He is my Tang courtier!"

"Every soldier and soldier of his is my Tang people!"

"Now, you want to bow down to my courtiers?"

"Why don't I give this dragon chair to the envoy of Hexi Jiedu?"

Li Ci held a sharp sword, and at this moment, Li Ci had infinite killing power in his heart.

The Datang Festival envoy system not only did not help Datang stabilize the situation, but also raised a group of white-eyed wolves who supported the army and respected themselves!

These white-eyed wolves, relying on the rights given to them by the emperor, divide one side and do not listen to the emperor's orders!

What, then, is it useful to have these knots?

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

For a while, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground, extremely frightened, and did not dare to raise their heads to look directly at the emperor.

They never expected that the emperor's anger would be greater than the assassination!

"Tobe Shangshu!"

Li Xi looked at the Tobe Shangshu who was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

"You are above the court, regardless of priority, increase the morale of others, and I will cut you off the post of household secretary!"

"But I remember that you have dedicated decades to the Tang Dynasty, and I ordered you to serve as the head of the household department to see the after-effects!"

"Are you convinced?"

Li Ci looked down on the ministers.

"Surrender!" "Tobe Shangshu regretted that he was not at the beginning, and said in a loud voice.

The rest of the ministers knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.

Tobe Shangshu was loyal to the emperor, but now, just by saying the wrong thing, he was removed from the post of Shangshu by the emperor.

For a time, the civil and military officials were deeply aware of what it means to accompany the king like a tiger!

Li Ci sat on the throne of the dragon chair and looked at the ministers: "In addition, to spread my will, the envoy of Hexi Jiedu colluded with the Demon Gate, intending to assassinate me, declare him into Beijing, and accept the guilt!"

"Yes!"

Above the court, civil and military officials, no one dares to dissuade them!

Li Ci leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

Li Ci wanted to know if the envoy of the Hexi Festival who was sitting on one side would obediently obey the order!

If he entered Beijing according to the order and colluded with the Demon Gate to assassinate His Majesty, the crime would be enough to make him die a hundred times.

If you don't enter Beijing, it will be a protest.

The law of the Tang Dynasty, those who resist the decree are guilty of capital crimes, and those who are serious are even the nine clans!
