On June 26, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, it was sunny, early in the morning the sun was shining, the blue sky was cloudless, and the weather was hot, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people of Beijing to rush to the yamen of the criminal department. The people of the city first wanted to think about what kind of person Li Zhen, the Tang Dynasty King of the Great Tang Dynasty, was like, and secondly, they were also curious about what the details of the Xiangzhou military ration case that was in a lot of uproar, so it is not surprising that there is such a bustling scene.

When the time was right, the noise was noisy, but listening to the sound of the drums, the onlookers who were talking about it immediately all quieted down, and everyone was looking forward to it. In a burst of footsteps, the third class of officials poured out of the back hall, as soon as the shift was finished, the sound of the ascension of the hall sounded, and suddenly, the tall and burly Li Zhen was dressed in a pale yellow sleeved robe, wearing a crane crown, and stepping on the cloth boots with a thousand layers of bottoms when he walked out of the back hall. Fortunately, Li Zhen is also a person who has been in the big scene for a long time, although her heart is slightly weak, but her face is still very calm, and she didn't care about how the people outside the hall made a fuss, strode to the big seat at the top of the hall and sat down, looked around the hall, and waited until Pei Hongxu, Liao Chengye and Wang Zhengrin, the three deputy judges, each sat down, and then picked up the startled wood, slapped it suddenly, and shouted loudly: Take someone to the court! As soon as the words fell, the voice of Huwei suddenly became louder, and several officials escorted Wen Xuan Qingxing to the hall with shackles.

Who knelt in the hall? Although he knew that he was acting, even if he was acting, he had to act as if he was real, no, Wen Xuanqing had just knelt down, and Li Zhen immediately stopped drinking in a deep voice with an expressionless face.

As soon as the mighty Li Zhen's voice fell, the officials under the hall immediately struck the water and fire sticks according to the regulations, and shouted loudly, the momentum was really terrifying, it seemed that Wen Xuanqing and other small officials who had never been to the court were obviously frightened, and their whole bodies trembled, and they kowtowed tightly and shouted: The criminal official Wen Xuanqing, Your Highness, the lower official is wronged, the lower official is really wronged

Bang Li Zhen picked up the shocking wood and slapped it hard again, stopped Wen Xuanqing's cry of injustice, and said coldly: This king asked Er, on April 24, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the text of Liu Chengzhi, a doctor of the four gates, was submitted through Er's hand? Speak!

Ah, the lower official is wronged, Your Royal Highness, the lower official is wronged, this text is handed over by Wang Wenyao, the director of the examination department, the lower official is just a routine matter, all of this has nothing to do with the lower official, the lower official is wronged Ah Wen Xuanqing heard Li Zhen's words, immediately knelt straight and shouted loudly.

Er Shang dared to quibble, came to someone, and Wang Wenyao, the director of the Gong Division, came to confront him! Li Zhen didn't care about how Wen Xuanqing shouted grievances, he was shocked, and he broke off a sentence loudly, and several of his own officials escorted Wang Ming, the director of the Gong Gong Division, who was also in shackles and locks, to the court.

Wang Wenyao, Wen Xuanqing Yan and Liu Chengzhi, the doctor of the four gates, are you really there? Li Zhen glanced at Wang Ming, who knelt beside Wen Xuanqing, and asked sternly.

Wang Wenyao, the director of the examination department, has also been detained for more than a month, because he is younger than Wen Xuanqing, although he is also embarrassed, but his mental state is much better, when he heard Li Zhen ask about this, he did not seem flustered, but just kowtowed respectfully, and replied slowly: Your Royal Highness, the lower official is indeed responsible for forwarding the official document to the Ministry of Officials, but this text is by no means from the hand of the lower official, and the signature after the text is not the signature of the lower official, it is really a forgery.

Well, this petty official still has a bit of bearing, and it's a good material. Li Zhen saw Wang Wenyao's calm and unhurried appearance, and admired it in her heart, but her face was still very serious, and she waved her hand and said: Come on, present a pen and paper, and testify in court! Li Zhen gave an order, and several of his own officials submitted pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and Wang Wenyao signed them on the spot for evidence.

Your Highness, the little one can be sure that the two handwritings are not from the hand of one person. After the two officials of the Criminal Department compared the two handwritings in front of the court, an older servant made a report.

Li Zhen waved his hand to signal Qi Zuo and the others to retreat, and stared at the frightened Wen Xuanqing with a chill in the back, patted the shocked wood, and said with a sneer: Bold Wen Xuanqing, what do you have to say now? If you don't recruit from the truth, be careful to wait for the big punishment, speak! Where exactly did this text come from?

Ah, the lower official is wronged, the lower official, the lower official is wronged, I really don't know, Your Highness, the lower official is wronged Wen Xuanqing shouted in panic, dancing with his hands, like crazy.

Li Zhen's face turned pale, and he shouted: The facts are all there, how can you sobble, come on, drag this guy down, and hit the thirty boards again!

As soon as he heard that he was going to fight, Wen Xuanqing's face turned pale immediately, and he shouted loudly regardless of it: The lower official has been recruited, the lower official has been recruited, His Royal Highness has spared his life, and the lower official has been recruited

Who, who is the mastermind to do this filthy deed? Li Zhen waved his hand, signaled the officials who had already come forward to drag people back, stared at Wen Xuanqing and shouted.

Yes, yes, it was Wen Xuanqing who didn't say a reason for a long time, and everyone in the hall and the hall was annoyed.

Well? Li Zhen snorted dissatisfiedly, and was about to draw the fire sign on the copy, which frightened Wen Xuanqing and shouted loudly: It was Liu Shizhong who forced the lower officials to do it, and the lower officials were helpless, Your Highness, the lower officials are really wronged!

As soon as Wen Xuanqing said this, the hall was shocked, first there was a dead silence, and then both the officials under the hall and the people watching outside the hall were in an uproar, and there were some signs of loss of control when the scene was on the scene. Even the deputy judges in the hall were also surprised, and under the divergent opinions, chaos was inevitable.

A bold fanatic, you dare to bewitch the public in court, frame the prime minister of the dynasty, and be ridiculous! Drag it down, hit hard! Before Li Zhen could speak, the deputy inquisitor supervised the imperial history Wang Zhenglin jumped up first, slapped the copy, blushed and shouted thickly.

Licentious! Li Zhen slapped the startled wood, carried enough energy, and roared, the sound was like rolling thunder, and the scene was suppressed immediately, but everyone couldn't hear whether Li Zhen was roaring at Wen Xuanqing or Wang Zhenglin, this atmosphere was a little weird, after all, Wang Zhenglin represented the Wei Wang Party, and Li Zhen was not at all, but it was the same faction as Liu Xun, Li Zhen's roar was very deep, right?

Your Highness, this thief is talking nonsense, he must not be taken seriously, he should be punished heavily, and he should be punished, and the lower official is also a suggestion, and everything is still in charge of His Royal Highness. Wang Zhenglin originally relied on himself to be the deputy judge, and he had the support of King Wei behind him, but his mouth was very hard, but seeing Li Zhen's face becoming more and more gloomy, he felt a chill in his heart for no reason.

Li Zhen didn't pay attention to Wang Zhenglin at all, and didn't even look at him, but stared at Wen Xuanqing, and said calmly: Wen Xuanqing, you are so bold, you dare to lie and perfunctory this king, it seems that you will not be punished, you will not recruit, come on, drag this guy down, and beat him thirty!

His Royal Highness spared his life, what the lower officials said was true, His Royal Highness spared his life, Wen Xuanqing was in a hurry, and he cried and shouted, but how could the servants of the government tolerate the struggle, dragged up, and went down to the hall, and took off his pants at the entrance of the yamen, picked up the big board and beat it heavily.

After a while, Wen Xuanqing, who was beaten to death, was put on the hall again, although he was still sober, he couldn't kneel, he was trembling on his stomach, his body was covered with blood, and he hummed to himself: Your Highness spares your life, what the lower official said is true, it is really Liu Shizhong who asked the lower official to do it, the lower official is wronged, Your Highness

Seeing that Wen Xuanqing was beaten like this and did not change his words, Wang Zhenglin immediately couldn't sit still, peeked at Li Zhen's face, stood up again and said: Your Highness, this thief is rebellious, he is a die-hard criminal, and he must be severely punished

Hum! Li Zhen didn't wait for Wang Zhenglin to finish speaking, so he snorted coldly, waved his hand, and interrupted Wang Zhenglin's words.

Wen Xuanqing, since Er insisted that Liu Shizhong instructed Yu Er, then let's talk about it in detail. Li Zhen groaned for a moment and asked unhurriedly.

Ah, yes, Your Highness, the lower official will say, this will say. As soon as he heard Li Zhen's words, Wen Xuanqing's sluggish spirit was immediately lifted, he forcibly endured the pain in his buttocks, knelt straight, and said tremblingly: On June 23, when Xun was on vacation, Xia Guan was resting at home, and soon after noon, there was a Liu Mansion Ding who came to Xia Guan's Mansion, saying that Liu Shizhong was invited, and Xia Guan was suspicious in his heart, but Xia Guan was a small official at the end of the year, how dare he not go to the invitation of the Lord in the service, so he hurriedly cleaned up, followed the man out of the city, and went straight to Liu Shizhong's house, but he really saw Liu Shizhong, Under the panic of the lower officials, he was humble and flattering, but he didn't expect that every hint between Liu Shizhong's words was that he wanted the lower officials to cheat and contribute to the transfer of his son's household department, and the lower officials didn't want to do it, but, but, but the lower officials were the main affairs of the first nine products, how could they twist the Lord in the wait, and they were confused for a while, so they accepted it, and accepted Liu Shizhong's three pieces of silk and a document, this is the case, the lower officials are really forced to be helpless, Your Highness, the lower officials are wronged

Ridiculous, ridiculous! Wang Zhenglin jumped up again and said: Bold anthology, dare to say nothing, aren't you afraid of sitting back?

What the lower official said is true, and the lower official is willing to confront Liu Shizhong in court! As soon as Wang Zhenglin's words fell, Wen Xuanqing immediately stiffened his neck and unceremoniously pushed back.

You, you, you Wang Zhenglin didn't expect Wen Xuanqing to dare to confront himself in person, and he was so angry that he trembled for a while, pointed at Wen Xuanqing, and stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

Enough, Wang Yushi, please respect yourself! Li Zhen glanced at Wang Zhenglin, and drank coldly, the voice was full of coldness, which frightened Wang Zhenglin for a while, glanced at Li Zhen, but did not dare to be presumptuous, and had to sit down again with his head down.

Li Zhen gritted her teeth and said with a cruel smile: Wen Xuanqing, you are so bold, you dare to make up stories and lie to coax this king, as far as Liu Shizhong's status is concerned, if you really want to promote her son, why do you need to go through such a small main matter, just let out the slightest rumor, are you afraid that no one will hold stinky feet? It seems that you haven't played enough, come on, drag it down, and hit another thirty!

His Royal Highness spared his life, the lower officials never lied, His Royal Highness spared his life, and when he heard it, he was going to fight, Wen Xuanqing's already pale face was already dead, and he shouted at the top of his voice, but the servants who rushed forward together set up Wen Xuanqing and went down to the hall again, still picking up the board and beating again, the crackling sound of remembering the meat, Wen Xuanqing's hoarse cry sounded miserably again, and most of the people watching outside the hall were trembling and uneasy, and everyone had a look of concern on their faces.

Your Highness, this person has been severely punished, but he has never changed his words, I am afraid that there is another reason, maybe there is a little bit of truth, and if he wants to fight again, if it is broken, it is not good. Pei Hongxu, who had been watching silently, peeked at Li Zhen's face and hesitated slightly, but at the end he still stood up, arched his hand and said.

Your Royal Highness, what Pei Shaoqing said is very true, how can there be any reason not to recruit under Miki, although this person's words are unbelievable, but they may not be true, Your Highness also asks your subordinates to be merciful. When Liao Chengye saw Pei Hongxu standing up, he was not to be left behind, so he also got up and echoed his words.

Wang Zhenglin saw that the two colleagues put the sleeve on Liu Xun's head in and out of words, and immediately became anxious, and when he remembered the previous entrustment of King Wei, he immediately couldn't care about Li Zhen's jealousy, and stood up and said: Your Highness, what Pei and Liao said is very wrong, like such a cunning and treacherous person, you have to be poor, how can you convince the public with the absurdity of what you say, Your Highness, please be careful.

Wang Yushi, you insist on fighting, do you want to kill your mouth? As soon as Wang Zhenglin's words fell, Pei Hongxu immediately sneered at each other unceremoniously, his face full of disdain.

Nonsense, why should this official do such an evil thing, this is a bloody mouth. How could Wang Zhengrin tolerate Pei Hongxu's question, and immediately jumped to his feet and retorted.

Liao Chengye looked at Wang Zhenglin unpleasantly in the past, but at this time, in front of Li Zhen, he wanted to behave even better, and immediately interjected coldly: If you don't have this intention, why do you want to fight forcibly, this is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!

Yes, this time it's lively, the hall is still fighting, and a few deputy judges in the hall are the first to make trouble, which is a rare thing, at least in the Zhenguan Dynasty, so the onlookers who were originally watching Wen Xuanqing being tortured all turned their attention to the court, and everyone had a look of curiosity on their faces, but they were very excited, and they wanted to see how the high-ranking court officials in the past were fighting.

Presumptuous, is there still this king in your eyes? Although Li Zhen hated Wang Zhenglin's arrogance very much, and wished that he would be dismissed in public, it was a pity that as the chief judge, he couldn't let the entire interrogation become a laughing stock, so he snorted coldly and said with displeasure.

The position of Prince Li Zhen and the chief judge is there, since he opened his mouth, the three deputy judges didn't dare to say more, and they each sat down stupidly, but Pei Hongxu just sat down and stood up again and said: Your Highness, the lower officials think that they can't fight anymore, if there is really a case, I am afraid that the Holy Lord will not be able to explain it, please think twice.

To tell the truth, Li Zhen is really afraid of fighting like this again, in case Wen Xuanqing can't hold it and makes a lot of fun to say, then the fun will be great, the reason why he wanted to fight before was to call the people of the world, at this time, seeing Pei Hongxu once again admonished, he accepted it when he saw it, and after a little groaning, he waved his hand and said: Stop the sentence and bring the prisoner to the court. After Li Zhen gave the order, the servants did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly stopped the torture, and put the Wenxuan who had already been beaten to the point of fainting on the shelf and threw it on the ground.

Ouch, ouch, it hurts, ouch, the official is true, Your Highness, ouch, Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't dare to deceive, Your Highness is a little confused, and the mouth is screaming, but he still bites the original confession to death, and there is no change.

Good boy, that's tough! Li Zhen was originally worried that Wen Xuanqing would be beaten up, so she changed her confession indiscriminately, but at this time, seeing that she still insisted on the original statement, she also admired her ruthlessness in her heart, but she didn't bring it to her face, but slapped her shock, and shouted calmly: Wen Xuanqing, does Er Shang insist on the original confession?

Your Royal Highness, the lower officials are true in every word, there is no lie, the lower officials can swear to the sky, if there is a lie, they will not die well! Wen Xuanqing saw that the matter had come to this point, and he also let it go, gritted his teeth, and cursed fiercely.

Well, even so, this king is not embarrassed, come and give Wen Xuanqing a bet! Li Zhen was waiting for this sentence, as soon as Wen Xuanqing's voice fell, Li Zhen immediately slapped the hall in shock, and broke off with a loud voice, and the clerk of the criminal department stepped forward, signaled the recorded confession to Wen Xuanqing, and drew a charge in public, and several officials helped Wen Xuanqing, who was beaten all over blood, out of the hall, and went to arrange to ask for medical medicine not to mention.

Li Zhen took the confession forwarded by the clerk of the Criminal Department, looked through it, and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he stuffed the confession into his big sleeve, looked around at the three deputy judges in the hall, and said in a deep voice: Everyone, this case is very important, and it involves the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is no longer the sole discretion of this king, and you must ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment.

Since Li Zhen said so, Pei and Liao are indispensable, as for Wang Zhenglin, although he was angry, he did not dare to confront Li Zhen in court, and in desperation, he had to nod and agree, and the group immediately retreated from the hall, and each took a carriage to rush to the palace
