Imperial historian Li Chengjia has recently become a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and Wang Tongjiao's case was presided over by him, and as a result, this case pulled the five princes off the horse, and Li Chengjia suddenly became famous all over the world.

Now, there is another case of slandering the queen and King Liang on Suzaku Street, and this case has been handed over to him again, Li Chengjia is both excited and apprehensive, this case has been successfully handled, and the position of the prince in the imperial history beckons to him. But he was worried that King Liang still wanted to take the opportunity to rectify King Xiang and Princess Taiping.

Wang Tongjiao's case was originally intended to pull King Xiang and Princess Taiping into the water, but the civil and military officials were passionate, but fortunately, the emperor stopped in time and quickly turned the target to the five people of Zhang Cambodia, otherwise the hundred officials continued to make trouble, maybe the emperor would find a scapegoat to appease the anger of the public, and then his fate can be imagined.

Li Chengjia didn't worry for long, Liang Wang Wu Sansi told him that he must find out the real culprit this time, and did not hint that he would try to involve King Xiang and Princess Taiping in this case.

The method used by Li Chengjia is a stupid method, but it is very effective.

The poster on Suzaku Street was discovered early in the morning by the citizens of Chang'an, that is, the poster must have been posted the night before. Li Chengjia broke down the case into every square in Chang'an through Chang'an and Wannian counties, and demanded a thorough investigation of all those who entered and exited the square after the curfew that night.

That night, after the curfew, only two families got married, and one went out to find a doctor in the middle of the night because of his father's sudden illness.

Li Chengjia transferred a large number of people from Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai, and cooperated with Wannian and Chang'an counties to investigate one person by one, and was sure that there was nothing suspicious about these people, so he targeted the court officials above the third grade. Because only the court officials above the third grade can open the door directly to the street, and there is no need to go through the door.

In the heart of Kyoto, although there are many eunuchs like lackeys, there are not many Sanpin officials, and there are even fewer Sanpin officials adjacent to Suzaku Street, Li Chengjia's goal is quickly narrowed, and Zuihou is locked in fourteen households, including the mansion of former Prime Minister Huan Yanfan.

These people are all high-ranking officials, and Li Chengjia does not dare to directly transfer these officials for interrogation. But he had the support of the emperor, Empress Wei and King Liang, and he wanted to ask these people's domestic servants and subordinates, but these officials were not easy to refuse. What's more, the Son of Heaven is already angry, who dares to refuse the investigation at this time, wouldn't it seem that he is weak-hearted?

Li Chengjia is the imperial history of the dynasty, and he is the messenger of judicial and criminal prosecution. If you really want to ask him to ask about the case, he is indeed very skilled. From his methodical narrowing down of the investigation. His shrewdness is evident.

When he interrogated the servants of these families, he used some skill. He went to the long street to see the posters, there were no less than dozens of them, and the posters were neatly worked, and it was difficult for a person to do these things on Suzaku Street, which was patrolled by Jin Wuwei, and there must be at least two or three people who posted the posters.

And the people who do this kind of thing. It must be the master's henchmen or the slaves and maids of the family's children, those hired long-term and short-term workers, and the servants who can carry their butts and leave at any time, it is impossible for the master to arrange such a mission.

With such an analysis. As soon as it became clear that the person was not the steward, housekeeper, or slave of the master's family, Li Chengjia immediately released him, and for some suspicious people, he arranged for them to be interrogated separately, either by intimidation or by deceit, in order to find clues.

The people Li Chengjia found were all experienced in handling cases, and after being seconded, they were all paid three days a day, and once anyone found out about it, he immediately asked the emperor to make an official. With these bounties, how can those public servants not work hard.

None of these wealthy slaves are habitual offenders of the traitor section, a group of shrewd and cunning old officials, interrogating a group of wealthy domestic servants who have no experience in dealing with interrogations, Huan Yanfan's actions that he thought were seamless and had no handle were actually cracked by an old team leader in Wannian County who had handled cases for 30 years and dealt with all kinds of prisoners.

This old team leader inquired about a slave born to a son of the Huan family, and signed a deed of sale with the Huan family. The public put out the torture instrument to intimidate a little, and he showed some flaws when he had a ghost in his heart, and as soon as the head of the team saw that there was a door, he immediately coaxed and frightened, and deliberately went in and out a few times, falsely claiming that his companion had confessed, and this person panicked and actually recruited.

The old team leader was ecstatic, he didn't expect that he could change from an official to an official, and he jumped over the dragon gate in one step, so happy that he looked up to the sky and daxiao three times, and then personally escorted the Huanfu servant to find Li Yushi as if he were offering treasures.

Li Chengjia was also overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to arrest the housekeeper of Huan Mansion and another person who posted the notice, and questioned them with a big punishment, but the two couldn't survive the big punishment and confessed one after another. Li Chengjia escorted the prisoners to find the ditch where they had discarded the brushes and pulp barrels, scooped up the evidence, and then diligently reported to King Liang.

The results of the case were quickly reported to Li Xian, who was furious when he saw the confession, and immediately ordered the arrest of Zhang Khan and the other five people, and immediately summoned all the prime ministers and officials of the three legal departments to discuss the punishment of the five people.

Wu Sansi finally caught the real culprit of the rumors, and for a while he raised his eyebrows, he said viciously to Li Xian: "Bixia, they spread rumors like this, slander the queen, and insult Bixia, they should all be punished with the canonical punishment and the law of the country!" ”

Li Chaoyin, the Cheng of Dali Temple, objected: "King Liang is slow, there is no confession from Zhang Khan Zhi and others, and it is not in line with the law of our dynasty to kill such ministers in a hurry without interrogation." ”

Li Xian viciously slapped the case and said: "Then try him, try him convincingly!" ”

When Cheng Xiao Zhizhong saw the witnesses and exhibits in the imperial history, he knew that the case could not be overturned, and he couldn't help but secretly complain that Huan Yan Fan Li made Zhi faint. Now that there are human and material evidence, even if they are retried, what can they do if they grit their teeth and do not make a move? People are subordinates of their house, and there are ready-made evidence, can they still turn the sky?

Even without these evidences, according to the Tang law of three confessions, the confessions of the two servants of this housekeeper are enough to convict Zhang Cambodia and others.

Xiao Zhizhong had an idea, and suddenly said: "Bixia, Zhang Cambodia and others have made meritorious contributions in helping Bixia ascend the throne, and this matter has been heard all over the world." Now that this case has been tried, the whole world knows that it was the five heroes who deliberately slandered the queen and insulted Bixia's reputation, what will the people of the world think? The great monarch and the minister, I am afraid that he will lose peace, I am afraid that he will ...... It's going to attract a lot of criticism. ”

"This ......"

Li Xian also had a big headache when he heard it. Although he is indeed mean and unkind, he does not want to be poked in the backbone by the world.

Pei Tan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, intends to curry favor with Empress Wei and Wu Sansi. He immediately went out and said, "As long as Bixia gives an edict to kill them, then even if they do not pass a public trial, it is in accordance with the law." ”

"The minister is against!"

Song Jing, a member of the Fengge House, was originally recording on the side, but as soon as he heard this, he immediately went out of the class and said: "Bixia, specially murdered, what is the charge?" If you don't teach, how can the people of the world be convinced? Moreover, whether it is a special murder or a special pardon. Although it is the privilege of the Son of Heaven, it cannot be used lightly.

Since the time of Xia Shang Zhou, the Son of Heaven has the right to amnesty, but there is no Son of Heaven who uses it automatically, so the Great Holy Empress of Heaven is there. But I used the power of amnesty once for the sake of the second one, and what was the result? The law must not be messed with. Zhang Cambodia and others are not guilty. It should be judged impartially, and if the Son of Heaven kills him with his privilege, he will be criticized by the people of the world. ”

Song Jing was pardoned along with Wei Yuanzhong. At the beginning, Erzhang wanted Song Jing to falsely accuse Wei Yuanzhong, but Song Jing refused, and as a result, he was exiled to Lingnan with Wei Yuanzhong, and Li Xian ascended the throne to pardon Wei Yuanzhong and return to the court. Song Jing naturally returned to the imperial court.

It's just that Wei Yuanzhong has been waiting for four generations of emperors since Gaozong in his life, and he has been belittled many times during this time. Now he is in his seventies, and he has long been depressed. Especially when he returned to the dynasty this time, he saw that the minister who supported the Son of Heaven ascended the throne had changed from a prime minister to a prisoner within a year, which made him even more chilled.

Therefore, now Wei Yuanzhong has simply become the second in Su Wei, ambiguous in his work, and never said a word about political disputes, and now seeing that Zhang Cambodia and others are in danger, Wei Yuanzhong is also silent, but Song Jing is young and vigorous, and he came forward to argue.

Wu Sansi was furious, squinted at Song Jing and said, "According to what you say, if you want to maintain the reputation of the Son of Heaven, you have to turn a blind eye to their crimes?" ”

Song Jing lowered his eyes and threw this problem to the Son of Heaven: "Song didn't say that, Song just talked about things." The previous time, because of Wang Tongjiao's incident, the imperial court announced that Huan Yanfan, Zhang Cambodia and others had disagreements with King Liang's politics, so they instigated Wang Tongjiao to assassinate King Liang.

Although this crime is unforgivable, its feelings are pitiful, and it does not affect the love of bixia, Zhang Cambodia and others. Now, if Huan Yanfan and others ignore the dignity of Bixia and post notices on the long street to slander the queen, Huan Yanfan and others should be punished, but the monarch and the ministers are evil, and I am afraid that Bixia's reputation will also be damaged. The minister couldn't think of a compromise, just for Bixia, so he had to say. ”

Li Xian was dumbfounded, silent for a long time, and then said: "That's it, this case should be regarded as a headless public case!" ”

Wu Sansi took a step forward and said hurriedly: "Bixia, that Huan Yanfan and others ......"

Li Xiandao: "Passing the decree, Huan Yanfan, Zhang Cambodia and others instigated Wang Tongjiao to assassinate the minister, and after the defeat, they were punished by demotion of officials. Exile Zhang Cambodia to Luzhou, Jinghui to Qiongzhou, Huan Yanfan to Yingzhou, and Yuan Shuji to Huanzhou......"

Li Xian said in one breath the decision to deal with Huan Yanfan and the others, was silent for a while, and then said: "The children of these families, all men over the age of sixteen, are exiled to Lingnan. And, take back the Danshu Iron Coupon! ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Huan Yanfan and the others were in the right place at the right time, with the help of a group of key people, and successfully did a great thing, but do they really have the ability to strategize? Do you really have the ability to match the talent of the prime minister? Not necessarily.

During the tenure of the prime minister, in terms of the national economy and people's livelihood, the five prime ministers did not make any achievements. After taking charge of the government, they forgot who the power came from, and it only took more than a month to completely fight with the emperor, pushing the emperor to the side of Liang Wang Wu Sansi, and making another big political mistake. After that, they refused to admit defeat and tried to fight back with very clumsy means, and as a result, they completely buried themselves.

Five families, including 82-year-old Zhang Cambodia, were driven out of the capital and left their once-glorious city of Chang'an forever under the escort of soldiers. Chang'an City returned to calm, and it did not cause any sensation because of the departure of the five of them, the people still lived their own lives, and the thrilling and bloody wind in the court was always just a little talk after their tea and dinner.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and I know that the trees are singing tirelessly, and the singers are drowsy.

Li Chongjun wore a pair of calf-nosed pants, sat shirtless on a mat in the shade of a tree, and drank wine with a sullen expression. Li Chengquan came from a distance, and Li Chongjun glanced at him. He didn't speak, just poured a bowl of wine down. Li Chengquan was also polite, sat casually at the table, and asked him, "What, the prince has something on his mind?" ”

Li Chongjun put down the wine bowl and said hatefully: "Then An Le is more and more presumptuous, she doesn't take me as a prince in her eyes at all, ...... today Today she humiliated me in public again, and that's not all, she said. Even if she is the crown princess, she is better than me as the crown prince, and in front of many ministers, it really makes sense. ”

Li Chongjun said as he spoke, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. Li Chengquan wanted to speak and stopped. Glancing at him secretly, he suddenly sighed heavily. Took a wine bowl. He also poured a bowl for himself and drank it with a bitter face. Li Chongjun said: "What, do you have something to say?" ”

Li Chengquan let out a long breath and lowered his voice: "Prince...... It's really not a good situation. ”

Li Chongjun's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said, "How do you say this?" ”

Li Chengguo said: "Song Jing was driven out of the capital because he spoke for Huan Yanfan and others. was demoted to the state to be a long history, and Li Chaoyin was also demoted to Wenxi County for the same reason, do you know this? ”

Li Chongjun said inexplicably: "You know, what's wrong?" ”

Li Chengquan said: "Now." Wei Jie, Wei Hao, Wei Bo, Wei Xuan and others of the Wei family have all been appointed to important positions, and Empress Wei's Shili Dazhang is colluding with the Wu family, who can stop it? Don't forget, Princess An Le is the queen's biological daughter, and the queen's biological son is dead, if the Wei family continues to grow, An Le may not be able to become the queen's daughter. ”

Li Chongjun sneered: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a crown princess!" ”

Li Chengquan said: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a female emperor!" However, this dynasty has it! ”

Lee Chongjun suddenly changed color.

Li Cheng said: "Prince, do you know how Huan Yanfan's people are now? ”

Li Chongjun was surprised: "Aren't they exiled to Lingnan?" ”

Li Chengquan smiled bitterly and said: "Prince, don't just stare at such a big place in the palace, you should also look at the world." That's right, Huan Yanfan and the others have been exiled to Lingnan, and it is impossible for them to threaten anyone anymore, but do you know what happened to them? ”

Li Chongjun's eyes lit up and said, "What? They...... Something went wrong? ”

Li Chengquan took a long breath and said: "Zhang Cambodia is old and frail, and he is sick with hatred, and he can't afford to be sick when he first arrives in Xinzhou, and he has already passed away. Zhang Cambodia is 82 years old, and his life is over, although he died of illness, he can be regarded as the end of his life, and he is very lucky.

And Huan Yanfan was miserable, he was caught up by Zhou Lizhen, the minion of King Liang on the way to escort, and ordered someone to tie him up and drag him on the cut bamboo stake, the bamboo was as sharp as a knife after being cut, Huan Yanfan was dragged and bruised all over the body, and the flesh was scraped off by the bamboo stake, revealing the white bones of Sensen, and he was tortured to death. ”

Li Chongjun's body trembled, and his heart was a little frightened.

Li Chengjing said again: "Jinghui is even more miserable, he was sent by Wu Sansi to kill him. And Yuan Shuji was poured into the poisonous wild kudzu vine juice, and it burned for a while, and the pain was so painful that he grabbed the soil with his hands, his nails were worn out, and his arms were deeply sunk into the soil, and Zuihou was alive and ......"

Li Chongjun shouted: "Don't say it again. ”

Li Chengquan closed his mouth, and after a while, he sighed softly: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots." I'm only worried that with Bixia's favor for An Le and the words of the queen who have always obeyed the queen, ......after the Wei family continues to grow, do you think that the people of the Wei family want you to be the emperor, or do they want people with Wei family blood to be the emperor? King Liang is now in control of half of my dynasty, do you think he wants his daughter-in-law to be the empress, or do you do it? At that time, not only will you lose your throne, but you will probably ...... The end will be better than Huan Yanfan and Yuan Shuji......"

"Enough!"

Li Chongjun stood up with a loud shout, he gasped heavily, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes flashed with fear and madness. Li Chongjun wandered around like a beast for a long time, and suddenly knelt on the ground again, climbed a few steps towards Li Chengjing, grabbed his hand as if begging, and said, "Chengguan, you say, what should I do now?" ”

Li Chengquan said in a deep voice: "The first strike is stronger, prince, if you want to keep the throne and save your life, you have to make a decision." ”

Li Chongjun suddenly shriveled to the ground and muttered, "I...... How do I decide? King Xiang has never had anything to do with me, and I have never been familiar with Aunt Taiping, so I ...... What am I going to do? ”

Li Cheng said: "The prince is really confused. When Zhang Cambodia pulled Emperor Zetian down from the throne, what did they have in their hands? The crown prince now only needs a team of people to listen to your mobilization, it doesn't take too much, and he can control Ouchi, after the matter is completed, do you think King Xiang and Princess Taiping will not recognize you as the emperor? ”

Li Chongjun looked at Li Chengquan and said in confusion: "Army? Although Lone is the crown prince, he has six soldiers and horses, but these six soldiers and horses have not been handed over to me, and now they are in the hands of the queen's cousin Wei Jie. ”

A hint of treachery flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, and he said, "The prince has so many friends in the army who have a close relationship, isn't it useless?" ”

Li Chongjun suddenly said: "That's right! They are all officers of the Yulin Guard, if they can help the lonely ......"

Li Chongjun suddenly hesitated again: "Can ...... This kind of head-off thing, they ...... Are you willing to die for solitude? ”

Li Chongjun said word by word: "Once the support is successful, you are the Son of Heaven, they are the ministers of the dragon, people die for money, birds die for food, as long as you bribe for heavy profits, who can resist such a temptation?" ”
