All the officials looked sideways.

Li Zhi held his forehead with one hand, his expression seemed to be a little impatient, and he said in a deep voice:

"Lin Aiqing, what are you going to do?"

"The old minister wants to sue Li Yifu, a scholar from the middle school, and buy a murderer to kill the court official!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked serious.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and the officials in the hall were in an uproar, unbelievable.

"Lin Aiqing, do you know what is the crime of framing the senior members of the DPRK and the Central Committee?"

"The old minister understands, but what the old minister said is absolutely true!"

"After the wedding banquet last night, Lord Zhao encountered an ambush on the way back, and there were thieves who tried to attack and kill Lord Zhao. The old minister arrived with his troops and intercepted the thief. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Wujiang, who also continued:

"At that time, Weichen returned to the palace with a lantern, how did he expect someone to attempt to assassinate him, but fortunately, Lord Shangshu rushed to help, and Weichen survived."

"This thief was intercepted by Lord Shangshu, knowing that the general trend had gone to the wings and could not escape, he bit the poison and committed suicide, this thief is not someone else, it is the servant who followed the Zhongshu Sheren Li Yifu Li to participate in the Wenxi banquet!"

Li Zhigao sat on the dragon chair, and when he heard that Zhao Wujiang was attacked and killed, his face became more and more cold.

Under Li Zhi's authorization, a cold corpse covered with a white cloth was carried to the court.

Bai Bu Kai, a corpse dressed in night clothes, with a dark and stiff face, and no blood, was exposed to everyone's eyes.

After a while, the post-mortem official completed the verification and said respectfully:

"Emperor Qi, this person really committed suicide by biting poison, the poison was hidden in his mouth, and the toxin burst from the inside, and he died in less than one breath."

"Does anyone know this person?"

Zhongshu Ling Laiji panicked, and Li Yifu was his subordinate.

He took a few steps forward and looked at the corpse lying on the ground, terrified in his heart.

This person is Li Yifu's domestic servant, and he has seen it a few times.

"Enlightenment... Emperor Qi, this person is indeed a servant of Li Yifu. ”

After receiving the affirmative reply from the Zhongshu Linglaiji, the ministers were in an uproar again.

"Where is Li Yifu?"

Li Zhi asked again.

Seeing Gaozong Li Zhi furious, all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were silent with interest.

Zhongshu Ling Laiji stiffened, "Li Yifu is sick at home today... Old minister... Old Minister..."

"Then send someone to carry him to me!"

The little official carried the order and hurried to the mansion of Li Yifu in Chang'an City.

The ministers whispered that it was not a trivial matter to murder the officials of the imperial court.

Zhongshu Ling Laiji showed bitterness on his face and let out a long sigh, Li Yifu was his subordinate, and he would inevitably be punished this time.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was a little happy in his heart, as long as Li Yifu was actually charged with murdering the imperial court officials, then during the interrogation, he could find out about the fraud in the imperial examination, and then he could return the innocence of the princes.

Something is wrong, Li Yifu can't be without a backhand...... Zhao Wujiang looked at the people with different expressions without moving, and kept thinking in his heart, since he didn't see Li Yifu's figure outside the hall, there was always an ominous premonition enveloping him.

......

The time of the two teas passed quietly.

The eunuch in front of the palace came in to report that Li Yifu had been brought and was waiting outside the palace.

Everyone cheered up and waited for the start of a good show.

Li Yifu, a scholar in the middle school, was supported by others, and his steps were vain, and he walked into the hall step by step.

He was not wearing an official uniform, but a white gown, and a patch of blood could be seen through the white robe on his abdomen.

Li Yifu's face was pale without a trace of blood, and the whole person seemed to be seriously ill, he trembled and knelt down, and his voice was weak:

"The old minister knocks on the emperor! Long live our emperor! ”

Li Zhi frowned, and his original anger turned into a question, why was Li Yifu so weak?

The ministers were also shocked, at first they thought that Li Yifu was just pretending to be sick and shirking it, but they didn't expect it to be true now.

"Li Yifu! You know the guy next to you. The Ministry of Rites said in a deep voice.

Li Yifu looked at the corpse lying on the side, and the whole person trembled.

He knelt on the ground, and his voice was bitter and aggrieved: "Your Majesty, you also have to be the master of the old minister!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned, and Gaozong Li Zhi frowned even deeper.

"Last night, after the old minister attended the wedding banquet, on the way back home, he encountered a traitor who assassinated me, if it wasn't for the family to protect me, I'm afraid the old minister would never see you again, emperor."

Li Yifu was very sad and even more angry: "The old minister also found out afterwards that the traitor who committed the assassination actually colluded with the servants in the old minister's mansion, which... How frightening this is, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the old minister! ”

"Li Qing, you said that you were also assassinated last night?" Li Zhi's face was solemn.

When Li Yifu heard this, his face was incredulous, and he was stunned: "Could it be that there are adults who have also been assassinated?" ”

"Master Li, you have to keep your eyes open and take a good look, who is lying here? This is your personal servant!

Hum! He led people to ambush Lord Zhao last night, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the official, Lord Zhao was probably in danger.

He is just a small domestic servant, if he is not instructed by you, how dare he assassinate the court officials? The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly spoke.

Li Yifu was short of breath and said in a trembling voice: "Wronged, Emperor." ”

He turned his head to look at the Ministry of Rites, "This official, if you really want to murder Lord Zhao, how can you be stupid enough to send your own servants?" ”

The Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

The rest of the ministers nodded one after another, feeling that what Li Yifu said was very reasonable.

Zhao Wujiang smiled in his heart, feeling the trickiness of Li Yifu, it seemed that this person was extremely cunning and intelligent.

"Wait a minute!" Li Yifu had a look of sudden realization on his face, and he hurriedly said; "Your Majesty, the old minister understands!"

"There are wolf ambitions in the court, and they place chess pieces in the old minister's house, and many of the old minister's domestic servants have been bought, so even the closest one was finally bought.

Last night, when I heard the wedding banquet, hundreds of officials gathered in the city, which was a good time to start.

This person sent a chess piece to assassinate Lord Zhao, and if he succeeded, a person as talented and capable as Lord Zhao would die!

If it is not successful, you can also take the opportunity to separate the relationship between the old minister and Lord Zhao, so that the two of us will become enemies! ”

The crowd was shocked and in an uproar.

Li Yifu spat and was excited: "He must have seen Lord Zhao's auspicious appearance, so he sent someone to assassinate the old minister, if he succeeded, the old minister would have to bear the reputation of committing suicide in fear of crime......"

"That is, the loyal servants of the old minister, desperately protecting each other, the old minister was spared..."

Speaking of this, Li Yifu looked sad and wanted to cry.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was already frozen in place, at a loss for a moment, Li Yifu's words sounded reasonable, and his mind was shocked.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty kept talking, and they were faintly uneasy in their hearts.

"The old minister is worried, if there are servants in the old minister's house, then is there not one in the rest of the courtiers' house? This man's plans are very big, Your Majesty! ”
