Chapter 551: The Isolated Prince
I don't know what Yan Taizhen said to the emperor, or didn't say anything, just to help ease the atmosphere, after a while, the palace discussion began again, and the emperor's face looked much better.
"Since the prince wants to use death row prisoners to handle the case, I will allow him to be free for half a day, I don't know if the prince is satisfied?"
The crown prince Li Yu was delighted and hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you, father." ”
This frizzy appearance, there is no city, and He Zhizheng is too late to open his mouth to remind him.
The emperor opened his mouth and asked, "Is this case really so difficult to investigate?" The prince has been in charge of Jing'an Division for half a year, and the case has not been solved today, prince, don't you want to say something to me? ”
The prince said loudly: "Everyone in the Jing'an Division is dedicated to handling the case......
"What's the use of just talking about hard work? The saint was asking the prince why this case had not yet been clarified. The old fox Lin Jiulang still rushed to answer, interrupting the words that the crown prince Li Yu had thought of.
Li Yu's mouth opened, and he said angrily: "It's just that I have been repeatedly obstructed by the right minister." ”
"Sage, the prince shirks his responsibility."
The two quarreled again, and the prince confronted Lin Jiulang and asked, "Dare to ask the right minister, why has the head of Jing'an become Ji Wen now?" Where is Li Bi, the original Si Cheng? ”
Lin Jiulang did not show weakness, and said loudly: "The thieves investigated by Li Bi entered the door and almost burned Jing'an Division, if it weren't for the prince's shadow, according to the law, he should be sent to the criminal department for accountability!" ”
"Father, that's because someone transferred all the brigades and soldiers in the Jing'an Division to the Right Xiaowei Office, which caused the internal security of the Jing'an Division to be ...... in air defense."
"It was Wang Zongbian's daughter who came forward to accuse Zhang Xiaojing of colluding with thieves, General Wang Zongbian and the prince are brothers and sisters, his daughter's words won't be false accusations, right? Therefore, the brigade army was ordered to escort Zhang Xiaojing to the right Xiaowei for detention. ”
The prince pleaded: "Wang Yunxiu has always been of bad character and has done her own thing, and her words and deeds today have nothing to do with her father. You don't have to bite at every turn! ”
"Who do you say is biting?"
The two of them quarreled more and more intensely, really like two fried lions, an old man and a young man, the audience was quiet, just watching the two of them bickering, no one helped or disturbed.
The emperor on the dragon chair is too, just sitting and listening quietly with an expressionless face, in fact, everything is like a mirror, if you want to find out the case? Or is it figuring out who is a traitor? Whoever is lying, you don't need to check, just ask today's third-party participant, that is, your cheap uncle. The reason why he didn't ask was that he didn't want to reveal it in public, and the current battle between the two might be something he was willing to see.
The crown prince Li Yu rushed to Lin Jiulang, staring at the other party's eyes, because he was taller than Lin Jiulang, so he looked a little intimidated at this time, and after looking at each other for a long time, the prince spit out three words in his mouth: "Like a dog!" ”
"Saint!" Lin Jiulang turned around and knelt down aggrievedly, saying in his heart that I am a dignified prime minister, and I was scolded in front of the court? Although the prime minister is indeed a royal worker, where is the etiquette? What about the friendship of kings and ministers? You can't be so humiliated with me.
He Zhizheng sighed and shook his head, don't look over it and can't bear to look at it again. The prince finally got angry, but this move was a big mistake. Although scolding Lin Jiulang can vent his anger, but he shouldn't scold him in public, you slaughter your dogs and slaves, which means that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all livestock raised by you?
Although the truth is this truth, but in this era when the etiquette is greater than the sky, you said it so bluntly, it directly hurt the hearts of all the civil and military forces present, and to give your life to the Tang Dynasty is to give your life to the Li royal family, but you can't get the respect you deserve, who is willing to follow you in humiliation?
In the past, I used to boast that the prince was my best student, but now it seems that it is not a master!
The prince then turned around and knelt down and said: "Father, in the past six months, all the people in Jing'an Division have been working hard to handle the case, as for why there is no benefit, the father should ask the right minister, who is behind the obstruction." ”
"Sage, the prince remembers Lin and slanders him for some reason!" Lin Jiulang said aggrievedly.
"It's not slander. It's the truth! Father, the right minister is somehow an enemy of his sons and ministers everywhere......" Speaking of this, the crown prince Li Yu couldn't go on, because he saw his father's calm and cold eyes, or rather, he knew it in his heart but didn't dare to say it, what else could it be? How dare a prime minister target the prince like this? There was only one reason, and the emperor was instigated behind his back.
The emperor asked rhetorically, "So, you ordered He Fu to assassinate him today?" ”
The prince kowtowed with tears in his eyes, "Li Yu absolutely not!" ”
He Zhi was struggling to get up, and was helped to come forward and kneel, and the emperor stepped down from the dragon chair and said gently: "Old He, I want to hear you." Is this prince wronged? ”
He Zhizheng was silent, as if thinking, turned his head to look at the prince kneeling on the ground, and didn't know if he had a headache or illness, Old Man He reacted very slowly at this time, maybe he didn't think about it, maybe he really hesitated.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth, and was about to speak, when the old fox Lin Jiulang interrupted again: "He Lao, He Fu identified the prince's confession, the saint, I have already read it." If He is old, he panicked and said that he didn't know, but no one could hide it. Not only can't save the prince, but it will also bring you tired. ”
"If you bully the king in the palace, you will be escorted away from the calyx tower immediately and sent to the prison." Okay, what an arrogant right minister, in front of the saint, dare to threaten Hongguoguo, He Zhizheng trembled.
The emperor comforted and said: "He Lao, don't be afraid, tell the truth." Everyone knows that I never protect my own son. ”
He Zhizheng hesitated again and again, but still couldn't say the answer, maybe it was because he was worried in his heart, there was something more important tonight, and he was really blasted out of the calyx building by accident, it was not worth it!
When the crown prince Li Yu heard the emperor's words, his body trembled, and he remembered his two brothers who were killed, and for a while, the feeling of sadness of the rabbit and the fox struck again, so he simply let go, straightened up, knelt down to face the emperor, and asked loudly: "In my father's heart, who is more useful to the Tang Dynasty?" ”
He Zhizheng pulled the sleeve of the prince's shirt, but he didn't persuade him after all, the prince was like a stubborn calf at this time.
The emperor's eyes were full of anger, and he was very dissatisfied with this son who dared to confront and question him, and shouted loudly: "Lin Xiang! ”
Lin Jiulang was inexplicably moved, and fell to his knees, his eyes full of the light of the death of a confidant! The heart said that this is all right, and I will wait for the next step to announce that I have full authority to act as the government of the government.
Finished...... He Zhizhi said in his heart, how could he be in such a situation? He simply closed his eyes and leaned on his crutches, tilted his head and fell asleep.
The tears in the prince's eyes could no longer be suppressed, like soybeans, the Portuguese tart fell down, and he was very aggrieved, but he couldn't say anything, and at this moment, there was no one to tell.
Reaching into his arms, as if trying to pull something out.
The emperor asked puzzledly, "What are you touching?" Take it out and show it to me. ”
Lin Jiulang swallowed his saliva, and had an ominous guess in his heart, nine times out of ten it was evidence against him.
