Chapter 153: The Storm in the Court (Part II)

As the saying goes, you don't slap people in the face, but Li Tai's words were like a resounding slap in Li Chengqian's face, at this point, what kind of brotherhood, the face of the court and other fig leafs were all slapped by this loud slap, and there was no other choice between each other except to fall down, although the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had a premonition, knowing that Li Chengqian and Li Tai would eventually come to cook beans and burn beans, but no one thought that this day would come so suddenly, with Li Tai's words, Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shimin's face, and everyone wanted to find some clues from Li Shimin's ancient face, so as to decide which side they should stand on next, but it was a pity that Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair in silence as if he hadn't heard Li Tai's words, not to mention his expression, but his eyes never moved, making it impossible to guess what the old man was thinking.

Anger, confusion, fear, and anxiety are intertwined, this is a complete portrayal of Li Chengqian's mood at this time, when Li Tai's side turned over the bloody case of Nian Zhuang, Li Chengqian already knew that he was in danger, but after all, there was still a trace of luck, hoping to rely on the identity of the prince to pull the chief trial into his hands, and it was a pity that Li Tai did not intend to give him this opportunity, and he disregarded the face of the heavenly family, and shook out the fierce information related to his murder of the king of Nian Zhuang in court. Li Chengqian's heart was suddenly completely confused, his whole body trembled like sifting chaff, and he couldn't speak for a long time, which made people look like he was a thief at a glance.

It is obvious that the situation is extremely unfavorable to the prince, and Li Anyan, the servant of the ministry, is one of the few who can still maintain his composure in the prince's family, at this time, seeing the ministers coaxing, and the prince did not come forward to refute, he knew that it was not good, and he hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Wei is bad, and now the case has not been tried, the truth is not clear, and the prince is vainly charged with crimes. With the heart of the world. ”

If a person is drowning, even if there is only one straw in front of him, he will hold on tightly, Li Chengqian was in a panic at the moment, and suddenly heard Li Anyan say to impeach Li Tai, and immediately woke up, with the momentum of trembling with fear, pretending to be so angry that he trembled, pointed at Li Tai, and scolded in a trembling voice: "Presumptuous, the fourth brother Er An dares to frame this palace like this, has he forgotten the difference between the top and the bottom?" This palace vows not to rest with Ergan! Immediately afterwards, he didn't give Li Tai a chance to refute, knelt down on the main hall, kowtowed vigorously to Li Shimin, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father, the son was framed by the villain, it is really wronged, and he can't live in heaven and earth. ”

I have to say that Li Chengqian really has some talent for acting, although this shrewd behavior of crying and making trouble and hanging himself is a bit shameless, but the effect is very good, after all, he is still the identity of the prince, and the truth of the case of Nian Zhuang has not yet been revealed. For a time, many courtiers cast pity on the poor Li Chengqian.

Li Tai, the king of Wei, is a hot-tempered master, with the favor of his own old man, he has always been rampant and domineering, the prince Li Chengqian is like a fart in his eyes, and he has never taken it to heart, at this time, when he saw such a time, Li Chengqian dared to beat a rake, and his heart was suddenly furious, and he didn't wait for Li Shimin to say something, he bowed and said: "Enlighten the father, the first trial of right and wrong, the first instance of justice is clear, and the son is not talented, I am willing to ask for the chief trial, and the traitor and villain will have nothing to hide!" ”

To be bad! Damn, fourth stupid! Fucking idiot! Li Zhen, who had always stood silently on the side, heard Li Tai's angry words, and her heart suddenly sank, and she was so angry that she wanted to give the fourth child an old punch - the prince had already said that Li Tai had deliberately framed it, and Li Tai was angry, and asked to investigate the case. In this way, it is naturally impossible for Li Tai to preside over the investigation of the case, and in the end, I am afraid that the investigation will have to fall on Li Zhen's own head, the reason is very simple - such a big case related to the heavenly family cannot be tried by others, even if it is Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji and other important ministers in the court do not have the courage, unless the case is clear, the old man personally issued an edict, but now the case is unclear, at least on the surface, this case can only be presided over by the royal family, the prince and Li Tai are so troubled, the two of them are no longer qualified to preside, The remaining third king Wu is now still involved in the affairs of Qizhou and Qizhou, the sixth is still at home, the ninth is not in Beijing, the tenth and others are still young, and the rest of the princes of the clan are either officials in other places, or they are enjoying themselves in Beijing, how can they have the ability to try cases, so calculated, not only Li Zhen is the most suitable, but it is a pity that Li Zhen can only be angry in his heart at this time, but there is no way at all, unless Li Zhen can come to a coma in court, but the problem is that the old man is not so easy to fool, Today, I can order Li Zhen to "take the illness for the country", but I am afraid that I have already made relevant preparations, how can I allow Li Zhen to play that hand, if I can't steal chickens and not lose a handful of rice, then the fun will be great, so Li Zhen can only complain in her heart, but there is no way to escape.

Sure enough, as Li Zhen expected, when the old man Li, who had always been immovable, heard Li Tai's request to investigate the case, his calm face suddenly distorted, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he slapped the dragon table suddenly, and scolded angrily: "Enough!" Do you still have me in your eyes? Hmph, how many times have I said that the family and everything is prosperous, but it is good to wait, and it is just a matter of calculating with each other all day, and now it is so presumptuous, could it be that I can't wait? ”

The old man's words are very serious, his words are full of murderous energy, and with that angry look, it is even more terrifying, not to mention Li Chengqian and Li Taige, who are so frightened that they bow down, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are also frightened by the old man's hand, and there is no noise in the hall, everyone looks at Li Shimin in anger with bated breath, and their hearts are drumming, and they stand there dumbfounded, for fear of attracting the attention of the old man and spreading their anger on their own heads.

"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry." Just when the ministers of the full hall were frightened and at a loss, Sun Wuji, the chief of the Great Situ, stood up, his fat face trembled, and he shouted with horror on his face.

Damn, the harlequin is on stage, and the big drama is about to begin! Li Zhen saw at a glance the intention of the eldest grandson Wuji to stand up at this time, and also understood that all this must be a routine arranged by the old man in advance, but he still couldn't help but scold secretly, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the big scene in front of him, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about a plan to get out.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji came forward, the old man's anger really disappeared a lot, and he glanced at the Li Chengqian brothers who were kneeling on the ground hatefully, snorted coldly, and then sat down, waved his hand lightly and said: "Wuji, I can't be angry for a while, and I won't get in the way." ”

"Your Majesty, please also take good care of the dragon's body, and don't lose a big one because of a small one." The eldest grandson Wuji bowed respectfully and said.

"That's it." Li Shimin waved his hand happily, stopped the eldest grandson Wuji's consolation, and said in a deep voice: "Wuji, in your opinion, what should be done in this matter?" ”

The old man's words are terrible, although it is an inquiring tone, in fact, it is to hand over the ruling power of this matter to the eldest grandson Wuji, Rao is a major minister in the court has long known that the eldest grandson Wuji has won the holy favor, but this matter is a major event in the abolition of the East Palace - if the prince has been abolished, the big guys in the establishment of the prince can speak their own words, but before the matter is revealed, non-human ministers can participate, this kind of special grace is really too much, the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military look at the eldest grandson Wuji immediately became complicated, of course, even if the big guy is jealous in his heart, At this delicate moment, but no one was stupid enough to dare to intervene, and for a while, all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, wondering who this fat old man would favor.

The eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being a world-famous old acting school, as soon as he heard that Li Shimin opened the golden mouth, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes wandered around Li Chengqian and Li Taige for a while, and then he showed a look of absolute relief, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should be investigated, and it must be thoroughly investigated!" ”

The voice of the eldest grandson Wuji is not too high, but as soon as this statement came out, the humming voice of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military immediately became loud, without him, it is obvious that the prince has something to do with this case, not to mention a thorough investigation, a little investigation is afraid that he will have to go through the gang, this is a big matter that wants the prince's life, the attitude of the eldest grandson Wuji is obviously to support Li Tailai, and then think of the dissatisfaction with the prince that the old man has been vaguely revealed, the meaning here is self-evident - the prince is going to be finished!

Not to mention how the ministers were discussing, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were kneeling on the ground, also reacted fiercely when they heard the words of the eldest grandson Wuji - Li Chengqian was weak in his hands and feet, and almost collapsed to the ground, his face was as pale as paper, and his body shrank into a ball tremblingly, but Li Tai was in good spirits, knelt up straight, looked at Li Shimin with a smug face, and opened his mouth to ask himself to preside over the case again, but he never wanted to meet the old man's cold eyes, and he was suddenly frightened. Hurriedly took back the words that had already reached his mouth, and knelt down again, not daring to take a breath.

"Well......" The old man let out a procrastinating cold snort from his nasal cavity, which instantly shocked the courtiers who were talking nonsense, and seeing that the old man was about to make a statement, the big guy's heart immediately rose to his throat, and everyone's heart was beating fast. Li Shimin ignored the reactions of the ministers, glanced at everyone with a smile, and then said nonchalantly: "If you want to investigate, who should investigate?" ”

"Your Majesty, the matter involves the heavenly family, the old minister does not dare to say anything, this matter still needs to be judged by His Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji's fat face shook, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't dare to make a suggestion at the end, so he replied cautiously, and kicked the ball to Li Shimin's feet.

Obviously, the old man's script was not written like this, seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji did not act according to the script, the old man's face quickly swept a trace of unhappiness, but at the end he still did not attack the eldest grandson Wuji, just waved his hand indifferently, signaling the eldest grandson Wuji to retreat, and a pair of eyes swept between the important ministers at the forefront of the main hall, and the important ministers were stunned - this case is not so easy to try, even if the trial results and the prince is eliminated, it is not a great credit, On the contrary, they will lose their right to speak on the issue of the establishment of reserves, and the big guys are not fools, and no one wants to carry this drudgery that has little oil and water, and they can hide as far as they can.

Li Shimin is a shrewd individual, how can the careful thinking of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military be able to hide from his eyes, at this time, seeing that no one dares to come forward, he can't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, and can't help but think of Wei Zheng who was already sick in bed at this time, but unfortunately there was only one Wei Zheng in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, it seems that such ministers are rare even in history, and the old man can only sigh in his heart, of course, the drama at this moment has to be continued, isn't it?

"Zhen'er, what do you think about this matter?" Li Shimin finally set his eyes on Li Zhen's head and asked calmly.

How to see? Damn, does it work? Bad luck! Although Li Zhen knew that he couldn't escape this catastrophe, he was still very unhappy in his heart, but unfortunately in front of the old man, Li Zhen didn't dare to express it even if he was unhappy, but well, Li Zhen naturally didn't want to go to the troubled waters. I really don't dare to say anything, please ask my father to forgive me. ”

What Li Zhen said is naturally the truth - not to mention that Liu Qi is one of Li Zhen's personal guards, and not to say that the arsenal case was originally stabbed by Li Zhen, just to say that the victim of the Qizhou assassination case is Li Zhen himself, he wants to avoid suspicion, this is a matter of course, but it is a pity that the old man did not intend to let Li Zhen go, as soon as Li Zhen's voice fell, the old man waved his hand impatiently and said: "I can trust your loyalty, you don't have to fight with me in ambush, if this case is handed over to you for trial, when will the case be closed?" ”

No way! Old man, even if you are ruthless, the kidnapping is not your old tying method, damn, since you are always insisting on Lao Tzu's trial, it will be done, Lao Tzu will make a big fuss! Li Zhen was angry and anxious in her heart, but she was helpless and helpless, so she had to pretend to be grateful, kowtowed and said: "The son is grateful for the grace of his father, the father has an order, and the son should obey it, but this matter is important, and the son of the minister has limited ability, once there is a mistake, it is afraid of hurting the country, so the son has the courage to suggest that the third brother of the father is the main judge, and the son is willing to attach the tail Ji, with the talent of the third brother, he will be able to live up to the trust of his father and the emperor, and return the bright and bright of my court. ”

Li Zhen kicked the ball into Li Ke's arms with a big kick, and said it impassionedly, looking like he was completely responsible for the old man, which really made the old man smile bitterly, and he didn't know what to say for a while; Li Tai, who fell to the ground, was taken aback when he heard that Li Zhen's recommendation was not his own, but the third child, and was immediately taken aback, although he didn't dare to raise his head, he glanced at Li Zhen fiercely, and the corners of his mouth kept stopping, and a series of scolding whispered out, but unfortunately Li Zhen ignored him at all, and just knelt still in a deaf ear; Standing at the head of the clan queue, Wu King Li Ke had a faint expression on his face, neither expressing his gratitude nor expressing his opposition, standing there without anyone at all, but his eyes flashed with an unknown light, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Li Zhen didn't say that he didn't participate in the trial, but just recommended King Wu to preside over the trial, and he couldn't find the slightest fault in his words, Rao is Li Shimin is shrewd, but he couldn't have a seizure, after muttering for a while, he still looked at Li Ke, the king of Wu, and asked in a flat tone: "Ke'er, your eighth brother recommended Yuer, what do you have to say?" ”

Although Li Shimin's words were asked peacefully, there was ingenuity in the inside - if the old man wanted Li Ke to preside over the trial, what should be asked was: Can you say something like that, not what to say, this word itself makes it clear that you don't want to put this matter in the hands of King Wu, not to mention Li Ke and other shrewd people, even ordinary courtiers can hear the meaning of the old man's words, but Li Ke did not thank the old man for his words, but strode out of the ranks, walked to Li Zhen and knelt down, kowtowed and said: "Father, although the son is not talented, However, the father has an order, and the sons should obey it, and the sons and daughters will try this case. ”

Yes, Li Zhen is face is not to be faced, and it is shameless to change Li Ke to come up, look at the two of them making trouble, it really makes the old man angry, but at this moment, he can't say that he doesn't want Li Ke to preside over the trial, so similar to a scoundrel Li Shimin can't say it, although he is not very happy in his heart, the old man can only endure it first, no, the old man's sharp eyes swept over the four brothers several times, and at the end, he didn't have a seizure, and said in a deep voice: "Message: Li Ke, King of Wu, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Xuan Ling, the empty house, thoroughly investigated the case of Nian Zhuang, and closed the case within ten days. As soon as the words fell, he didn't wait for Li Zhen and the others to thank him, he got up and went to the harem, and Hu Youde, who had already been dumbfounded, hurriedly shouted: "Scatter the dynasty." "I hurriedly transferred to the harem.

The court is dispersed, but the matter is not over, the courtiers are not fools, naturally they know that the chaos has fallen, and they have no intention of staying in the court at this time, they all go fast, and they are generally busy going back to contact privately and seek a way to protect themselves.

The crown prince Li Chengqian got up from the main hall with a gloomy face, and he didn't even look at the three brothers kneeling beside him, so he walked around in despair, accidentally hit the pillar of the main hall, and immediately fell to the ground, and immediately exclaimed.

Li Tai was busy for most of the day, but at the end of the day, he was picked by Li Ke, he was depressed to the extreme, and he didn't pay attention to Li Ke's words, flicked his big sleeves, and rushed out of the hall, the stinky face made Li Ke frown, but he didn't want to say anything, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at Li Zhen, who had always been silent, and said: "Eighth brother, hey, look at this trouble, my brother is really uncomfortable, how about the eighth brother walking with my brother?" ”

Fuck it, grandma, you kid is so fucking beautiful, hey, awesome! Although Li Zhen couldn't see through Li Ke's true intentions to take over the case, he was used by Li Ke for no reason, and his heart was angry, how could he be in the mood to talk nonsense with Li Ke, but well, Li Zhen's city is deep, and he will not lose his temper because of this, so he laughed and said: "Okay, it's still early in the left and right, you and my brother will go together." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, walked out of the hall side by shoulder, and walked away with a smile......
