"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible."

Wu Chengsi stood up and solemnly arched his hand: "My Datang has always been overly meritorious, Li Jingye is Li Jingye, and the British Duke is the British Duke, how can it be mixed up."

The ministers asked him to behead him in accordance with the law and show it to the public to warn the ministers. ”

Li Zhi instantly raised his head and looked at Wu Chenghe's face full of surprise.

Wu Chengsi obviously wants to kill Li Jingye, but according to the secret guard's report, Li Jingye and Wu Chengji have a good relationship!

He even sent a large number of gifts to the Zhou State Mansion more than once.

Li Xuan, who was in the rear, also looked at Wu Chengsi in great surprise.

What the hell is this guy doing?

"You go on." Li Zhi nodded and motioned for Wu Chengji to continue, and he began to be a little interested.

Wu Chengsi arched his hand and continued: "Your Majesty, Li Jingye is guilty, but all the charges need to be investigated, one is one, two is two, and it must not be confused, otherwise it will be detrimental to the governance of the world, and all charges should also be realistically determined, how to be punished, how to be punished, not confused."

At that time, all the crimes will be punished together, and then the merits will be counted in detail.

According to the law, the family, the reason, the virtuous, the ability, the merit, the noble, the diligence, the guest.

How much can be offset, can not be arbitrarily broken, when the time should be chopped, should be released.

Please make this case a case for our court to judge accurately, so as to warn future generations. ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhi's brows instantly furrowed tightly, he glanced at Wu Chengsi deeply, and had to admit that he might really underestimate Wu Chengsi.

Li Xuan is the same, originally he thought that Wu Chengsi was not as good as Pei Yan, but now it seems that Wu Chengsi's hand may really be able to save Li Jingye.

Now the case of Dali Temple is far from being completely closed.

The people who really want to completely close the case are Li Zhi and Empress Wu.

They don't want to cause chaos in the government and the opposition because of this case.

The longer this case drags on, the greater the impact on the situation between the government and the opposition.

And earlier, there was another person who also wanted the case to end quickly.

This person is Li Jingye.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, on the day of the new year, Liu Renliang was about to return to the court.

Once Liu Renliang returns to the DPRK, it will be even more difficult for Li Jingye's case to be resolved.

But that was before.

Li Jingye wanted to solve the case quickly, and settle everything as soon as possible before Liu Renliang returned to the dynasty, and then he could participate in the battle for the assassination of Xinzhou.

Only in this way can we make meritorious contributions on the front line and bring everything back to normal.

Now, the circumstances of the case have changed abruptly, and Li Jingye's sentence is even more serious than Liu Renliang's return to the dynasty.

In this case, where can I care if Liu Renliang comes back or not, the most important thing now is to drag it out first.

Drag it out as much as possible so you can gain time.

With enough time, the witness can die and the evidence can be annihilated.

The case can be repeated.

Only in this way, in the end, can Li Jingye turn over, instead of being completely crucified within this day as he is now.

Li Xuan quickly saw through Wu Chengsi's thoughts, and had to admit that Wu Chengsi still had some means.

It was at this time that Wei Hongji, the young superintendent, followed suit: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Supervising the Imperial Shi Wei Siwen handed over.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Du Qiuren followed in the matter.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Prince Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Tang Zhiqi followed.

"The minister seconded the ......" and a series of officials followed and stood up.

There are at least a dozen military generals in front and back.

Li Xuan stood behind the side, looking at these people with cold eyes.

All of them were remembered by him.

……

Li Zhi sat on the imperial couch, his eyes were also cold.

These people were suppressed before and couldn't speak, but now they found a reason to start pressuring him.

Li Zhi thought that his attitude was clear enough, but there were still people who were provoking his patience.

Under Li Zhi's cold gaze, the ministers who stood up felt a heavy pressure fall on their shoulders, but they had already stood up and had no way to regret it.

After a long time, Li Zhi slowly spoke: "The British Duke has meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, I don't want to see his wisdom, and there will be more tarnishing, so do you understand?" ”

The ministers in the hall were slightly stunned, and then arched their hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

The ministers immediately understood that there were many charges that Duan Baoxuan had said before that had not yet been verified, and they could be turned into confirmations at any time.

If this is really the case, then Li Jingye may not only be dismissed from office and exiled for 3,000 miles, but it is very likely that he will be directly beheaded.

At this time, Li Zhi continued to speak: "Regardless of the later crimes, only the previous crimes, Pei Yan, you are the secretary of the Criminal Department, according to the law, according to the eight discussions, what crime should Li Jingye be sentenced to?" ”

Li Zhi's indifferent gaze fell on Pei Yan's body, and Pei Yan's breathing suddenly stagnated.

Because he felt that the gaze falling from above was not only Li Zhi's, but also Empress Wu.

Pei Yan woke up instantly, and he remembered that the person who wanted to decide for Li Jingye from the beginning of this case was the Empress Wu.

There is also Li Jingye who offended King Xiang at the beginning, as well as the North Gate Bachelor, and the King of Nanchang and a number of clans.

None of these people have spoken.

Pei Yan's gaze swept lightly and fell on Li Xuan behind him.

Li Xuan's expression was still calm, as if there was no anger and dissatisfaction, as if he had long expected the emperor to have such an attitude.

Pei Yan couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, you must know that the king of Nanchang still has a deadly killer weapon in his hand.

Demon Sect, Prince Yin, if there is a little bit of collusion with Li Jingye, he must die.

Pei Yan's gaze had been withdrawn in an instant, and he was sure in his heart, he raised his head and arched his hand, looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, according to the law, you should remove all official positions of the British Duke, but exile, the minister thinks that there is no need, demote him from Chang'an, and never return." ”

This is to emulate Wang Bo.

Compared with Duan Baoxuan, the punishment of the criminal department is a little lighter.

At this time, many court officials couldn't help nodding.

Wu Chengsi raised his head and looked at Pei Yan with a puzzled face, but Pei Yan was in front and didn't look back at him at all.

Du Qiuren, Wei Siwen and others also had doubts on their faces, and their moods were solemn.

Li Zhi's expression eased slightly, and then asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what other opinions?" ”

The ministers were silent for a while, and no one spoke for a while.

Li Zhi's gaze fell on Li Xuan, and then he spoke: "King Nanchang, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty." Li Xuan walked out slowly, his face solemn.

The emperor suddenly called him out, probably to ask him to make a statement.

Not only on behalf of himself, but also on behalf of Liu Renliang, to make a final conclusion.

Pei Yan, Wu Chengsi, Du Qiuren, Wei Siwen, Tang Zhiqi, and other ministers all had their eyes on Li Xuan.

At this time, those who are willing to help Li Jingye speak have already stood up, and most of the rest of the others are neutral, or even have the same attitude as Li Xuan.

Li Xuan bowed his hand in a deep and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Li Jingye fornicated with Tibet, if he just demoted him out of Chang'an at will, then once he went to Tibet privately and offered advice for Tubo design, with his deep understanding of our dynasty, he was afraid of others, and he was the second Bank of China." ”

In a word, everyone present was silent.

Even Li Zhi's face sank in his eyes.

The Bank of China said that the eunuchs of the Yan Kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty were favored by the emperor and sent to the Xiongnu as a courtier of the princess.

However, after arriving in the Xiongnu, the Bank of China said that it targeted the Han Dynasty everywhere.

The Xiongnu were not allowed to wear the exquisite clothes sent by the Han Dynasty, and offered advice to the Xiongnu Great Khan, especially indicating when it was the best time to rob the Han Dynasty's grain and grass.

Under his guidance, the Huns repeatedly succeeded at the border, and once grabbed near Chang'an, almost taking the imperial palace.

In order to resist the crazy attack of the Han army, the Bank of China said that before he died, he offered a plan to the Xiongnu Great Khan, asking to spread poison in the land of water and grass, preparing to poison the Han army, and delaying the attack, which shows its viciousness.

The Bank of China said that it was ruthless and unceremonious to the Han Dynasty, which caused huge losses to the Central Plains.

……

Li Zhi's breathing was already heavy, and Li Xuan only used the three words "Bank of China said" to completely provoke Li Zhi's murderous intentions.

The ministers of the court and the central government, the six Shangshu, the nine temples and the temples, and many courtiers, at this time, they didn't dare to say another half a word.

If Li Jingye really takes refuge in Tubo in the future, then those who intercede for Li Jingye will become his accomplices.

Li Xuan's knife was really hard enough.

Du Qiuren, Wei Siwen and the others looked at Li Xuan with incomparable hatred.

Li Zhi took a deep breath, looked at Li Xuan and said, "Then in your opinion, how to deal with Li Jingye?" ”

"Your Majesty, the British public has great merit and court, according to the minister's opinion, it should be lenient, why not belittle Li Jingye to join the army for Zhenzhou?" Li Xuan gave up again.

Zhenzhou is in the southernmost part of Datang, close to Yazhou, but more southwest.

In other words, Li Xuan wants to send Li Jingye to the ends of the earth.

The ministers present couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, the king of Nanchang seemed to have taken a step back, but in fact, he used his official position to nail Li Jingye to Zhenzhou.

As soon as he left Zhenzhou, he would be sentenced to treason.

Not only that, Zhenzhou is far enough away from Tibet.

Even if you go from Chang'an to Zhenzhou, you don't know how much time it will take, let alone Tibet.

That's almost the equivalent of three thousand miles.

Zhenzhou joined the army, is that still an official position?

I'm afraid that when Li Jingye arrives in Zhenzhou, he will be directly guarded by others.

The last person who was so unlucky was Wu Yuanshuang.

The bead curtain shook slightly, and no sound came out, but Li Zhi nodded slightly.

He looked at the ministers and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Although Li Xuan's suggestion seems to be safe, it is actually too ruthless, and once it is really done, I don't know how many people will be offended.

No one dares to go along with it easily.

At this time, Li Xian suddenly stood up and said to Li Zhi: "Father, the British Gregorian calendar has three dynasties, and he is deeply trusted, he followed the emperor's grandfather to pacify the Quartet, hit Xue Yantuo twice, and pacified the north of the moraine. Later, he broke the Eastern Turks and Goguryeo, and entered the prime minister, with outstanding meritorious achievements, and was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Although Li Jingye is guilty, but thinking of the British public service, the son asked Li Jingye to be degraded as Liuzhou Sima, to see the after-effects, if you know that the mistake can be corrected, then you can make good use of it. ”

Li Xian wants to save Li Jingye.

Wei Siwen, Du Qiuren, Tang Zhiqi and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Pei Yan, Wu Chenghei, his face was slightly gloomy.

Ming Chongyan, Yuan Wanqing, Liu Yizhi, Fan Lubing and others couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

Li Xuan's expression was calm, and Li Xian finally jumped out at the last moment to harvest the last fruit.

A degraded Li Jingye and a soon-to-be-deposed prince Li Xian, these two people come together, it's really interesting.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement in her heart.
