8688

The battle for succession has always been cruel and bloody, and it is also all-encompassing, whether it is the princes or the courtiers have a good idea, there is no doubt that the current battle for the criminal department is the heaviest touchstone, who can grab the power of the criminal department, who can occupy the initiative first, in this sense, in order to be able to control the criminal department, no matter what tricks come out, it is not surprising, therefore, for someone to jump out to impeach Li Zhen, the king of Yue, the big guy is actually not strange at all, But as soon as they saw that the person who came out was not an official of the Wei Dynasty, but a doctor Du Xuandao, the ministers all discussed in a whisper, and the buzzing sound in the hall immediately became a noise.

Du Xuandao, word, Wangshan, No. Ning Yu layman, Su believes in Buddhism, is the current head of the Jingzhao Du family, when he was fifty years old, although his official position is not high, and rarely expressed his views on the government affairs of the DPRK, however, the energy of the Du family behind him is not small Jingzhao Du family is the county of Jingzhao, its family history can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period of Du Bo, the whole family has a history of nearly 2,000 years, the official eunuchs, among which there are countless outstanding people, the god of wine Du Kang, the late Three Kingdoms Jin Dynasty's general Du Pre are all people in this clan, Today's Du family has already branched out, branches throughout Guanzhong, although there is no too prominent in the court, but the court has its own division, Guanzhong and even the local government officials are the official Du surname has many children, the famous prime minister Du Ruhui has tried every possible way to get involved with the Jingzhao Du family, and made a reason to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, which shows that the reputation of the Du family is high.

Perhaps because of the fear of the tree, the Du family has always been low-key, never involved in the struggle of the princes, but its influence on the government and the opposition is really not small, at this time Du Xuandao is unusual, at this critical moment of the criminal department dispute stood up to impeach the king of Yue Li Zhen, its intentions can be a little intriguing The matter of Longzhou is known to the government and the public, but the Du family's style has always been, and may not be for a branch of a family and the popular prince Li Zhen to have a life and death game, and then think of the harmonious relationship between the Du family and the eldest grandson family, It's hard not to associate Du Xuandao's actions with the scheming eldest grandson Wuji, no, as soon as Du Xuandao stood up like this, all the courtiers glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji intentionally or unintentionally, but the eldest grandson Wuji was good, his face was full of wood, as if he didn't notice the courtiers' gaze, but he was calm and calm, and he didn't even say anything.

Du Xuandao ignored the strange eyes of the courtiers at all, strode straight to the front of the palace, bowed and said: The old minister has this Qi Song Your Majesty: On June 14, the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, when His Royal Highness King Yue passed through Longzhou, he did not hold the holy will and disposed of civil affairs without authorization, and his crimes were threefold: first, he connived at his subordinates to fight with people in the downtown area, so that the fire burned down Dengyun Pavilion; Second, without confronting the two and without trial, he entered people without authorization and sent the state soldiers to raid people's homes, which is a serious crime; Third, both are wrong, one family is investigated, but it is not into the sins of its subordinates, it is difficult to convince the mouth of everyone, these three crimes, the ministers think that the fault of His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I hope that Your Majesty will learn.

As soon as Du Xuandao made such a generous statement, the courtiers below immediately buzzed and discussed, and in the noise, Su Miao, who was standing in the courtiers' queue, squinted his eyes and thought about it, thinking that this was a good opportunity to lose Li Zhen's face, so he secretly gave Wang Zhenglin, the superintendent of the imperial history, and signaled him to follow immediately.

Wang Zhenglin was also prepared before the last dynasty, and he also planned to pour some dirty water on Li Zhen on the Longzhou case, but before he had time to come out, he was preempted by Du Xuandao, and he was hesitating to follow, when he saw Su Miao giving a code, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked to the front of the hall, and said in a loud voice: Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what Dr. Du said is very true, Sage Yun: Righteous people first correct themselves, and now in the Longzhou case, His Royal Highness King Yue handled unfairly, protected his subordinates, and interfered in local government affairs without authorization, which violated the court system and violated the law. It is difficult to set an example for the courtiers, and the ministers dare not disobey the saints.

As soon as Wang Zhenglin's words fell, another supervising imperial history emerged from among the courtiers, but it was Zhang Qi, the supervising imperial historian of King Wu's family, but seeing Zhang Qi coming to the palace in a few big steps, he also said loudly: Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Dr. Du and Wang Yushi said is very true, and the minister implores the Holy Edict to thoroughly investigate the case and correct the court.

Wang, Zhang two supervised the imperial history as soon as they came out, and the courtiers subordinate to the two kings of Wu and Wei echoed one after another, and for a time the hall was full of condemnation of Li Zhen, Li Qianhe and other courtiers on Li Zhen's side did not get Li Zhen's hint, and they didn't know whether to stand up for Li Zhen, they were all so anxious that they were sweating, but Li Zhen was good, kneeling in front of the palace with an indifferent look, not even saying a word, his face was very calm, as if he hadn't heard the impeachment of the courtiers.

As early as the occurrence of the Longzhou case, Li Zhen had already expected that someone would make a fuss about this case, and he had already been prepared, and all kinds of hands and tails had been dealt with cleanly, in fact, he was not worried that he would be hung up because of this case, the only thing that puzzled Li Zhen was that Du Xuandao's motive for jumping out at this time was that the Du family in the Longzhou case could not have the slightest chance of turning the tables, which Li Zhen knew very well, in Li Zhen's opinion, Du Xuandao also had a certain number in his heart, and the reasons for impeachment he put forward were all specious. It is almost impossible to stand in the law, if it is said that there is no strange thing here, it is strange that the Du family is standing behind the eldest grandson Wuji, in terms of the ability of the eldest grandson Wuji in legal theory, no one in the Manchu Dynasty is unmatched, even Sun Fujia, the secretary of Dali Temple, in this regard, is not as good as the eldest grandson Wuji, who formulated the "Tang Law", with his ability, it is impossible to make such an unknown article in the Longzhou case, but what is the intention of the eldest grandson Wuji's move is very worthy of scrutiny, but it is a pity that Li Zhen will not be able to figure it out for a while, I could only bury my doubts in my heart for the time being, and listened to the people of Wu and Wei Shuangwang taking turns to perform.

Li Zhen didn't move, Li Shimin also listened expressionlessly, until everyone who should be on the field showed their faces, Li Shimin glanced at Li Zhen and asked lightly: Zhen'er, what do you have to say?

Father Emperor Mingjian, the son has been on the Longzhou case on this chapter, since the ministers still have some incomprehension, the son can elaborate again, the origin of the case is as follows Li Zhen is very calm will be the cause and effect of the Longzhou case in detail, and then said lightly: The father has said: water can carry the boat, can also overturn the boat, now the Longzhou Du family is bullying, the people are full of righteous indignation, the son does not dare to stay out of the matter, but the son did not overstep his authority to judge the case, fortunately the state assassin Cui Mingli is well aware of the righteousness, in one fell swoop to solve hundreds of unsolved cases, The elders of Longzhou rejoiced, this is a fact, the son has no lies, if the father does not believe it, he can send an envoy to Longzhou to investigate in detail.

Li Shimin nodded noncommittally, waved his hand, raised his voice and shouted: Wan Zhongming.

Wechen is in. As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, the superintendent Yu Shi Wan Zhongming stepped forward from behind unhurriedly and replied respectfully.

What are the details of the Longzhou case? Li Shimin stroked the long beard on his chest and asked in a calm voice.

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, Wan Zhongming bowed down and immediately said: Your Majesty, Weichen has arrived in Longzhou the day before yesterday, according to investigation, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has not been false in this chapter, it is really the Du family who has done a lot of evil, and the people in the city have been humiliated, so they spontaneously went to the post station to complain, and it happened that Cui Mingli, the assassin of the state, was in the post station, and immediately ordered to take down the Du family.

What do you have to say? Li Shimin glanced coldly at Du Xuandao and the other ministers who stood up to impeach Li Zhen, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked indifferently.

His Majesty is wise, and his ministers are impressed. Du Xuandao was very single, and did not plead more, but respectfully saluted, and then retreated, and the remaining courtiers of the Wu and Wei kings saw that they could not do anything, and they all had no words, and they each retreated awkwardly, and a possible court dispute ended silently, and Li Zhen's taking charge of the criminal department became a foregone conclusion.

One noon morning court, except for such a storm of tigers and snakes, there is nothing else to say, after some government affairs are handled, it is time to disperse the dynasty, Li Zhen, who has won a lottery, did not have the slightest excitement, and the courtiers who came to congratulate a little greeting, then hurried back to their own palace with full of questions, even to take a breath, and went straight to the inner study.

Your Highness. Mo and Na, who were playing chess, saw Li Zhen hurriedly walking in, got up and said hello with a smile.

Both gentlemen sat down. Li Zhen nodded, walked to the chair at the top and sat down, frowned slightly and described all the things in detail this morning, and finally asked suspiciously: What does my father mean by this edict? So what is Du Xuandao's intentions? The king was puzzled, and asked the two gentlemen to teach one or two.

As soon as Li Zhen finished speaking, the two strategists glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time, laughing so much that Li Zhen was a little confused, and in desperation, he had to bow his hand and say: The two gentlemen still have the heart to laugh, but this king can't laugh, if you have any opinions, please come directly.

Mo Li shook the feather fan and said with a smile: Your Highness, don't worry, and Rong Mou said carefully: The reason why His Majesty ordered His Highness to be in charge of the Criminal Department, and not His Royal Highness of the Criminal Department, is actually a sign that the Sacred Heart is tied to His Highness.

Oh? What do you mean by that? Li Zhen frowned, as if she had thought of something, but she didn't catch it, so she scratched her head with a wry smile and hurriedly asked.

Before Mo Li could speak, Na Long spoke first: What is so difficult to guess, the criminal department, the important weapon of the imperial court, how can he change the book frequently, His Majesty's intention is just to ask His Royal Highness to temporarily perform the post of Shangshu, and when His Royal Highness can pass His Majesty's assessment, the position of the East Palace is undoubtedly His Highness, and there will be a new Shangshu at that time.

Uh-huh, that's what it's like to dare to love! Li Zhen's heart moved, and he understood the old man's intentions to give the right to the criminal department, but not to give the position of the criminal department, in addition to what Na Long said, there is also a layer of intentions, that is, once Li Zhen can not pass the old man's test, the East Palace is naturally hopeless, even the criminal department Li Zhen can not hold the holy decree in his hand, the new criminal department is still in office, and the power in Li Zhen's hands is completely gone, there will be no danger of Li Zhen controlling the criminal department, and Li Zhen can be given the power to investigate the case, which is really a well-founded measure.

Li Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and said: Well, this king knows it in his heart, but why is Du Xuandao pretentious this time? This king always felt that it didn't look like he was going to overturn the case for the Du family in Longzhou, but it seemed like he was deliberately helping this king, which was very strange.

Yes, Si Yan is very good! Mo Li laughed and said: Du Xuandao's move clearly seems to be to embarrass His Highness, but in fact, he is secretly helping His Highness, this is a gesture of goodwill, if it is not bad, this kind of temptation should be from the arrangement of the eldest grandson Wuji, this is waiting to see what His Highness will do next.

Well, there is such a possibility, in the opinion of the two gentlemen, how should this king respond? Li Zhen had vaguely thought of this before, but he was not very sure, after Mo Li said this, he was undoubted, but how to respond to the eldest grandson Wuji made Li Zhen scratch his head The eldest grandson Wuji is undoubtedly a predator in the court, and its energy is very great, if he can have a good relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji, even if he can make him neutral in the battle of the East Palace, the price to pay Li Zhen is absolutely willing to invest, but the grudge between them is deeper, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a long-cherished enemy, at such a delicate time, The eldest grandson Wuji stretched out an olive branch very abruptly, which really made Li Zhen not dare to believe it, suspecting that there was a conspiracy on the one hand, on the other hand, Li Zhen really didn't know how to get on the line with the eldest grandson Wuji, so he couldn't just go straight to the Changsun Mansion to show goodwill.

Na Long smiled and said: This matter is not urgent, since the eldest grandson Situ did not express his position directly, His Royal Highness does not need to respond directly, since Du Xuandao has helped His Highness, His Royal Highness should have some expressions, and besides, the head of Zhuhuangmen might as well put some effort, the eldest grandson Situ has long ears, he will hear what he should hear, His Royal Highness is now thinking about the errand of the Criminal Department first.

Well, that's the truth, now that the king has no clue about the criminal department, where to start? Li Zhen thought about it, and also felt that what Na Long said was very reasonable, so he didn't think much about how to get on the line with the eldest grandson Wuji, but as soon as he thought of the many mysteries of Li Zhi's death, his head grew a few times, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows, and asked in distress.

The two strategists had obviously already discussed this matter, and after hearing Li Zhen's question at this time, after glancing at each other, Na Long said: One is Liwei, and the other is to repair the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and Chen Cang in the dark, Your Highness may wish to put the breakthrough on the Xiangzhou military rations case first.

Xiangzhou military ration case? Li Zhen frowned, read it again, and suddenly her heart moved, and she understood the hidden meaning of Nalong's words, and she laughed out loud, and her laughter was full of happiness

Some people are happy and some people are worried, this Li Zhen is full of spirits, but Li Tai on the other side is tired of more than two years, Li Tai's power is not only not good, but it is so sluggish that Liu Xunshang is suspended at home, and the criminal department Shangshu Qinwen is seriously ill and bedridden, and he is about to die, and Zhang Liang, another important minister who is biased towards Li Tai, is still on the front line in Youzhou and has not returned to Beijing, leaving only Cui Renshi, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Su Miao, the waiter of the household department, these two courtiers are very good, not to mention Li Zhen, Even compared with Li Ke, there is not much advantage, which makes Li Tai worried, coupled with the repeated miscalculations of the early dynasty today, the mood is even more anxious, and his face is as black as the bottom of the pot, but he is not angry because of this, but he just sits in the study with a calm face and sulks, and he doesn't even look at Su Miao, who is sitting diagonally opposite.

Looking at Li Tai who was sitting silently, Su Miao was both relieved and sad, and he was pleased that after Li Tai had been an official in the field for more than two years, the whole person had matured a lot, and he was no longer as violent as before Li Tai deliberately made trouble with Li Zhen earlier this morning, but it was actually out of premeditation, one was to confuse Li Zhen, and the other was to plan to pit Li Zhen, in fact, Li Tai is now much calmer than before, which makes Su Miao very relieved, as for sadness, in addition to being sad that Wei Wangfu is now weak, It is also sad that Li Tai matured too late, if Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Tai could be more stable, and he would never let Li Zhi's Adou take the position, but unfortunately the times have changed now, and the situation has long been very different, it is extremely difficult to suppress Li Zhen, who is already full-fledged, but as a strategist, even if he knows that he can't do anything, he Su Miao must do it, seeing that Li Tai is full of anger, Su Miao sighed secretly, and said slowly: Your Highness is still worried about the affairs of the Criminal Department today?

Li Tai rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and did not answer, Su Miao didn't pay attention to Li Tai's bad attitude, and said with a smile: Your Highness, the saint is determined to hand over the criminal department to King Yue, even if others say anything in vain, this is just a Taoist exam question, if His Royal Highness King Yue can pass it, the position of the East Palace will not be the turn of others, but if it can't be passed, hehe

Oh? When Li Tai heard this, he was immediately moved, his eyes opened, and after staring at Su Miao for a while, he frowned and said: But do you want Xiaoba to solve the case of the East Palace?

Perhaps. Su Miao shook his head with a smile and said: The key is not how to solve the case, but how His Royal Highness King Yue gives an explanation to the people of the world, of course, if the case cannot be solved, His Royal Highness King Yue will be difficult to explain, but, as far as I know, it is only difficult to solve the case of the East Palace.

Well. Li Tai showed a faint smile on his face, nodded and said: This king also thinks so, well, who else has also moved, this is strange, could it be Xiaoba, or the third child?

The Donggong Mystery Case Su Miao and Li Tai have discussed it many times, but there has been no result, Su Miao had ordered to deal with Li Zhi, and also sent someone to add ** to the ginseng soup, but in terms of dosage, it will only make Li Zhi seriously ill due to excessive indulgence, and then become a wasted person, but he has no intention of taking his life, but he didn't expect Li Zhi to die of a stroke, which was completely unexpected by Su Miao, in the case of not figuring it out, Su Miao can only attribute it to others who have also done something in it, at this time to mention this matter, The intention was just to divert Li Tai's anger, seeing that Li Tai had returned to normal, Su Miao didn't want to comment more on this matter, so he smiled and said: It's hard to say, no matter who makes the move, the person who has a headache now will only be His Royal Highness King Yue, I might as well wait and see what happens, and then make a decision.

That's right, well, uncle, the hands and tails outside have been cleaned up, right? Li Tai asked uneasily.

Well, the thread has already been broken, and the only thing that may be exposed is only the fifth, and when His Royal Highness King Yue begins to try the case, it will be effective to deal with it again, and it will give His Royal Highness King Yue a headache. When Su Miao said this, he changed the topic and said: Your Highness, Du Xuandao's actions today are quite strange, and there is a suspicion that this is the Du family's intention to show favor to His Royal Highness King Yue.

Well? How is this possible? Didn't Du Xuandao impeach Xiaoba? How can it be a gesture of goodwill? Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and immediately said disapprovingly.

Not necessarily, if there is no Du Xuandao to come up with such a hand, His Royal Highness King Yue will take over the punishment department today, but I am afraid that it will not be so smooth, and His Royal Highness will think about it again. Su Miao knew that Li Tai's resourcefulness was not enough to see through the strangeness, so he immediately mentioned it.

Damn, could it be that this was done by my uncle? Li Tai is not a stupid person, after Su Miao woke up like this, he immediately thought through the key, and his face immediately became ugly.

Su Miao nodded and said cautiously: It should be so, with Du Xuandao's piece of material, he would never think of such a solid strategy.

This Li Tai knew the energy of the eldest grandson Wuji, and when he heard that the eldest grandson Wuji was better than Li Zhen, he immediately couldn't sit still, Huo Ran got up, paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, held his forehead and said: How should this be good, if my uncle really falls to Xiaoba, the general trend will be gone!

Li Tai was anxious, but Su Miao was not in a hurry, he stroked the long beard on his chest, and said with a smile: Why should Your Highness be so depressed, if it is not bad, I am afraid that this gesture of goodwill is mostly out of the will of God, not the original intention of the eldest grandson Situ, there is still a lot to be done, why worry about it.

Well? Li Tai looked at Su Miao in a daze for a while, but he still didn't understand the key to the matter, and hesitated for a moment and said: Uncle, how should the king do it?

Su Miao smiled indifferently and said: My dearest relatives are no more than my uncle, if His Royal Highness King Yue ascends the throne, it will be difficult for the eldest grandson Situ to keep his current position, as for His Royal Highness, why not ask the eldest grandson Situ for advice on the strategy of governing the country?

Oh? Li Tai was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, his mouth grinned, and he laughed loudly, and his laughter was full of pride
