Xue Bai had already rushed to the front of those officials and said in a deep voice: "There is no precedent in the Tang Dynasty for privately writing national history. ”

In addition to judging cases in the world, we must not only follow the law, but also look at the precedents. The Sui law explicitly forbade private compilation of national history, and although the Tang Dynasty followed the Sui law, no one had been sentenced for this crime since the founding of the country.

No matter how complacent the emperor is now, he is arrogant and indulgent, at least he never sins because of his words. Although the atmosphere of the court is poor, the courtiers are generally scolded and demoted by him, and almost all of the violent deaths are done by Li Linfu, the emperor is actually quite open-minded, and he is not afraid of being talked about even robbing his daughter-in-law.

The Tang Dynasty is not a Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no literary prison, it is not stupid, it is not forbidden to speak, and it is free to exchange cultural crafts, so it is prosperous and dazzling through the ages.

Of course, these officials could not name any precedents, so they replied: "We are only ordered to take people, so what is the use of talking to us?" How to convict, there is a big judge to decide the case, and if you want to argue, you go to the lobby of the criminal department to argue. ”

Du Wulang immediately said: "Go and go!" I was just going to go to the Punishment Department to take a look. ”

Xue Bai was not afraid to go to the Criminal Department.

The next moment, Wei Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sit back and continue the exam." ”

The old man and the young man glanced at each other, and Xue Bai stepped out of the way.

"The annual test continues."

Wei Shu said, kicked Yang Xuan, personally drove away the disciples, and let the officials take Zheng Qian away.

After that, the old priest ordered a few disciples, asked them to hand over the scrolls, and said, "Copy? The old man's eyes are not dazzled yet! ”

Xue Bai sat down again, holding the pen and filling in the scriptures, but his mind was still thinking about the matter of Fang Cai.

I finally passed the Thessalonian, and there are two more in the future.

In the interval between the rewinding, he thought about it, got up and lifted the bamboo curtain and walked out.

Su Yuanming immediately rushed forward, gave him a look, led him to avoid all beings, turned the corridor and entered a public room.

Wei Shu was standing in the public house and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm afraid that the case involved by Dr. Zheng is not small, and it is related to students." Xue Bai said: "This matter is more urgent, can the annual exam be postponed?" ”

"I can't." Wei Shu sighed, with some reminders, and said: "If you stop and open again, it will not be presided over by the old man." ”

As soon as Xue Bai heard it, he understood that this sacrificial wine was under some pressure in private.

Someone doesn't want him to pass the exam.

Although Xue Bai has been favored, he only has a saint now, and there are many people who have offended. And the East Palace is influential, and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has the right, and there is always a way to prevent him from entering the imperial examination.

For example, Jia Chang is more saintly, Li Bai is more talented, and he is not necessarily famous.

On this road, someone like Wei Shu must come out to protect him.

Xue Bai couldn't leave Zheng Qian behind, and asked, "If the annual test can't be stopped, dare to ask about the sacrificial wine, is there a way to save Dr. Zheng?" ”

Wei Shu was calm, but at this time he frowned, turned his head to look out the window, leaving only a fat back in a purple robe, and said slowly: "The old man has been a museum job all his life, how do you know the disputes between the DPRK and China?" I can't save him, but I have to save my future. ”

Xue Bai groaned and said, "That student may have a way, I want to try if I can save Dr. Zheng." ”

"There are still two more exams."

"It's too late."

Xue Bai glanced at the sky.

After the two annual exams, Chang'an City has a curfew, and no matter how it is, it will have to be delayed until tomorrow, and everything will be too late.

The annual exam was delayed, it was nothing more than a little more precipitation, but Zheng Qian's matter involved a big case involving the three people, and their lives were at stake, so there was no need to consider which was more important than the other.

Wei Shu thought about it, thinking that Xue Bai didn't understand the meaning of his words, reminded again, and said bluntly: "Not long ago, someone told the old man not to let you pass the New Year's test, and if you go, it will be as they wanted. ”

"This is a conspiracy, and students can only go."

"Well, don't let people see you on the road."

Xue Bai then bowed deeply and turned to leave.

Wei Shu looked at his back, and didn't know what he was thinking, for a long time, he said to Su Yuanming: "Go and bring this kid's scriptures." ”

"Yes."

After a while, Xue Bai's scroll was spread out in front of him.

Wei Shu swept his eyes and muttered casually: "It's so-so." ”

He picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper.

"Like no?"

Su Yuanming stepped forward to take a look, and saw that they were a few good eight-point regular scripts, although they were also good-looking, but they were far inferior to Wei Shu's own calligraphy.

This is imitating Xue Bai's handwriting.

"The sacrificial wine is seamless."

"Qingchen's disciple, calligraphy is only at this level." Wei Shu sighed, "Since he went to save Zheng Sanjue, he had to answer the questionnaire for him in the last two games." ”

~~

Xue Bai changed his outfit, wore a hat to cover half of his face, and followed Su Yuanming out of the Guozijian through the small door in the east.

He turned over and got on the horse, but he didn't look for Yang Chen, Yang Yuyao, and Princess Yuzhen.

He had already thought about it when he was writing the scriptures, if Zheng Qian's private writing of the history of the country really involved the case of the three people in the twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, then once he used his connections to speak for Zheng Qian, it would be like fighting a fire with a salary, and the fire would only get bigger and bigger.

The deeper Xue Bai is involved in this matter, the more people are involved, and the more dangerous it is.

For example, Li Linfu accused Wei Jian of constructing the East Palace, and Li Heng would only harm others and himself if he helped Wei Jian speak, so it was better to draw a clear line.

But if this matter is directed at Xue Bai, in order to lead out Li Ying's party behind Xue Bai, the other party will inevitably kill Zheng Qian.

Xue Bai didn't plan to learn from Li Heng.

Half an hour later, he drove his horse into Pingkangfang.

He lowered the hat on his head, looked around to see if anyone was following, and turned into the walled alley in the northwest corner.

There is only one mansion that occupies the entire northwest of Pingkangfang, that is, Princess Changning's Mansion, which now belongs to the husband and wife of Princess Changning's son Yang Wei and Princess Xianyi.

The mansion is magnificent, as if telling the illustrious status of two generations of princesses.

There were high walls on both sides of the alley, and Xue Bai walked to the back door alone, handed over the post, and said, "Please tell the princess and the colt that a friend is visiting." ”

……

"Who's friends with this ghost?"

Li Niangwu scolded herself, but she still went to Jingyi Hall with Yang Wei to entertain guests.

When they walked into the hall, they saw Xue Bai sitting there for a long time, and the expressions of the husband and wife were a little more solemn. Because he felt the pressure of confronting Xue Bai.

"What are you going to do?" Yang Wei asked lightly.

Li Niang was very inward-looking, so she must say something cruel, and said viciously: "I'm not afraid that we will kill you." ”

"What's the good of killing me?" Xue Bai said: "When Li Heng succeeds to the throne, I still won't let go of you who have fought with him for so many years for the sake of King Fushou." ”

"Trying to provoke right and wrong again, can we be used by you?"

Xue Bai's face was embarrassed, and he said slowly: "We did have an accident. ”

Yang Xun sneered, and said in his heart that Xue Bai really wanted to take advantage of them.

Then, they will be in charge of today's dialogue.

"Dr. Zheng Qian, Taixue, has been taken down because he recorded the inside story of the Sanshuren case." Xue Bai became more and more worried.

It's none of his business, Yang Xun looked calm and asked, "Zheng Qian is your person?" ”

"Dr. Zheng is naturally my teacher." Xue Bai deliberately made a move, "The concubine also knows that Zheng Qian and Zhang Jiuling are both Wang Fangqing's protégés and support the former prince. ”

"Huh."

Xue Bai frowned slightly, and said, "Zheng Qian seems to be a person from the East Palace, but he is actually a chess piece buried by us in the East Palace. ”

Yang Wei and Li Niang couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, surprised that Li Yingyu had such great ability.

"Go on."

"It's hard to conclude for the time being, it was the brother who took action against the East Palace and accidentally injured our people; Or maybe Li Heng sensed Zheng Qian's position and made a move. ”

"Even if Li Heng notices it, there's no need to make a move on him, right?"

Xue Bai said: "Not long ago, they wanted to marry the county lord of Hezheng to me, but I refused, and there was no room for each other to turn around. ”

Li Niang had already heard about this, nodded, and signaled to Yang Xun that these were true.

"Hu'er is about to enter Beijing, and the brother slave is gaining momentum, and it is necessary to get rid of Pei Kuan." Xue Bai continued: "Since Pei Kuan became the head of the household department, he has worked with his uncle to collect a lot of salt taxes in Hebei, and he will be escorted to Beijing immediately. It's a pity that after this incident, Pei Kuan became a frightened bird, and wanted to turn to the East Palace, a great achievement, which was probably occupied by Li Heng. ”

Yang Wei groaned, not understanding why he came to say this.

But this important news in the court, he usually can't find out if he wants to, he is very willing to listen, so he listens attentively, and bows his head slightly from time to time.

Xue Bai sighed and said: "The right phase and the East Palace are fighting, as if two boulders collide, but what is affected is us who are caught in it like weeds. In the current situation, we are suffering from internal and external troubles, and we are in turmoil. ”

"Well deserved!" Li Niang chirped, "Li Yingyu's party, it should be wiped out." ”

Xue Bai didn't answer.

Yang Xun thought about the previous conversation, knowing that the two sides had the possibility of turning enemies into friends, not to mention that Xue Bai took the initiative to come to show weakness today, of course, he had the intention of friendship, and he should take advantage of it.

"Who are you?"

"In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Li Heng, the third son of the emperor, spied on the sacred heart, misled the sage to suspect that the prince and the prime minister were intertwined, and instigated Li Jian to play a secret game, using Concubine Wu Hui to remove Zhang Jiuling and remove the three concubines, and then conspired to frame Concubine Wu Hui, and designed the sage Princess Nashou, killing two birds with one stone, and getting rid of two major troubles. All this was noticed by Zhang Jiuling, but unfortunately he had been demoted to Jingzhou, but he told his close friend Zheng Qian about it, which is the origin of Zheng Qian's 'private history of the country'. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Bai smiled slightly bitterly, and then answered Yang Wei's question.

"We, the people who learned about this and wanted to uncover this conspiracy, think that Datang Sheji cannot be handed over to Li Heng."

Yang Wei asked: "Then who do you think the Datang Sheji can be handed over?" ”

Xue Bai said: "King Shou can't do it. ”

Yang Wei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think of King Qing?" ”

Xue Bai said: "Although King Qing is the eldest son, everyone else thinks that we have to help him, but in fact, it is inconvenient for us to interact with him. Today, I have not gone to King Qing. ”

"Yes, King Qing's appearance is damaged, and he can't be the king."

Li Niang was impatient with their nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "If you don't establish a long one, you will establish a concubine, my aunt is named the queen of chastity, and my brother Li Qigui, the king of Sheng, is the son-in-law and should be the prince." ”

Yang Wei was slightly embarrassed, and he no longer hid it, looked at Xue Bai, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Yes."

"So easy?"

"Since King Sheng is the only concubine of the saint, it is feasible. What's more, when a catastrophe comes, how can it take care of such a long term? ”

Yang Wei didn't expect Xue Bai to be so outspoken.

But when I think about it, everything I say right now is false. If you want to swallow the other party's power, you have to see what the other party has to ask for, and now the status of the princess's mansion is not as good as before, and it may not be able to do it.

"What do you want to come today? Can you use us to save Zheng Qian? ”

"You don't have to rush into it." Xue Bai groaned: "In Zhongnan Mountain, I once said Pei Mian's identity, but can the horse confirm it?" ”

Li Niang saw that he only cared about asking Yang Xun, as if she didn't know who was in charge of the princess's mansion, and immediately said, "What if it's confirmed?" ”

"Didn't the princess reveal it to her brother?"

"Oh, why should I be used by you?"

Xue Bai took out a piece of paper, spread it out, and showed it to them.

I saw that this document was stamped with the seal of the subordinate official of the East Palace, and a piece was torn off in the middle.

"What is this?"

"Evidence that can prove Pei Mian's identity." Xue Bai said: "If I present it to my brother, my brother will not believe it." ”

Yang Wei stretched out his hand to pick it up.

Xue Bai put away the paperwork and asked with a smile, "What about my deed?" ”

Li Niang was displeased, frowned and said, "You negotiate conditions with me?" ”

"Fair trade."

"Who are you worthy of a fair deal with me? If I kill ......"

Yang Xun hurriedly patted her, and said a few words of comfort softly, and the couple sent someone to bring Xue Bai's deed.

Xue Bai took back the deed and handed over Pei Mian's joint letter, but said, "However, if the horse presents it to the slave, the slave will know that we have cooperated." It can be used to drive Pei Mian to do things. ”

"Why don't you take advantage of it yourself?"

"My identity is not enough, it will only make Pei Mian feel murderous, it is better to give it to the horse."

Yang Wei's eyes flashed.

Xue Bai said again: "Can the horse help ask for the details of Zheng Qian's matter?" They took Zheng Qian to lure the snake out of the hole, I am not good at it, but this matter is not difficult for the horse. ”

~~

Right Prime Minister's House.

Li Linfu was bowing his desk.

The first batch of Hedong salt taxes was to be escorted into Beijing, which put a lot of pressure on him. Recently, we have been investigating this matter and thinking about countermeasures.

Two days ago, there was another person on the list of political enemies he wanted to get rid of, Yuan Zai.

I heard that it was this son who gave advice to Yang Quan, and he was very talented and threatening in tax matters.

"Ah Lang, the colt is here."

Hearing the rumor, Li Linfu put down the official document in his hand and let Yang Xun sit in the hall.

He guessed that Yang Xun came again to urge the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to get rid of Xue Pingzhao, and waved his hand as soon as they met.

"Don't be in a hurry, I've heard that Roh Hyun was demoted. When the saint of the erection fades, he will find an opportunity to get rid of it. ”

"What the right minister said is very true."

Yang Wei listened to these words, raised his eyes to look at Li Linfu again, and suddenly had some new feelings.

What Brother Nu said was as if dealing with Xue Bai was for them, but he was still using people as fools.

After sitting down and greeting a few words, Yang Wei said: "Right Minister, I heard about it today...... The Criminal Department suddenly arrested Dr. Zheng Qian, a doctor of Taixue, but it was related to the old case back then? ”

Li Linfu's eyes froze, and he said slowly: "Good news." ”

"There happened to be a few nephews in the country, and I heard about it as soon as it happened."

Yang Wei responded, and suddenly there was a pleasure in his heart to tease his brother slave.

Li Linfu bowed his head and said: "The secretary of the criminal department received a secret letter last night to report it, and Zheng Qian wrote an article privately to fabricate the history of the country. ”

"If the right minister wants to deal with the East Palace with this, I am willing to do my part."

Yang Wei leaned over and expressed his attitude, but in fact he wanted to test whether Li Linfu had instructed this matter.

I didn't want to, but Li Linfu waved his hand and said: "This case is not clear, we will talk about it after Xiao Yinzhi's trial, and the horse doesn't have to worry." ”

Yang Xun was surprised and asked, "Isn't this incident from the right phase framing?" ”

Li Linfu glanced at him and said with a straight face: "The law is fair, and he never frames him." ”

"It's me who lost my word." Yang Wei apologized again and again, "I'm asking...... Someone really exposed Zheng Qian, he really wrote the history of the country privately? ”

"yes."

Li Linfu tugged at his beard, his eyes showed a contemplative look, and he spoke slowly.

"Zhang Jiuling has been dead for seven years, and his brother Zhang Jiugao has always wanted to erect a Shinto monument for him......"

The Shinto monument is a stone monument that records the life deeds of the deceased in front of the tomb, and it is not easy to carve the monument, so it is necessary to ask someone to write, write, and carve.

As soon as Yang Xun heard it, he understood why Zhang Jiuling had not erected a Shinto monument since his death. Because Li Linfu, who has a small belly and chicken intestines, is still alive, he will definitely pay attention to whether Zhang Jiuling's inscription says bad things about him, Zhang Jiugao probably wants to wait for Li Linfu to die and write an inscription happily.

Really.

"The evidence that Xiao Yinzhi received this time is the inscription written by Zheng Qian for Zhang Jiuling, which contains the sentence 'Concubine Wu Hui separates the monarchs and will establish her son'." Li Linfu said: "In order to protect Concubine Wu Hui's name, the Criminal Department took down Zheng Qian and strictly investigated the matter. ”

"I see." Yang Wei couldn't help but show a touch of emotion.

"When this matter is clarified, I will report it to the colt and learn about it."

Li Linfu said goodbye and raised his hand to send off the guests.

Yang Wei then took his leave.

He turned, a sneer in his eyes.

Everyone in the world said that it was Concubine Wu Hui who harmed the three concubines, how could it be for Concubine Wu Hui that the Criminal Department took people so resolutely?

As Xue Bai said, there must be a hidden truth in this matter.

To this day, Li Linfu is still taking him for a fool.

"Colt, are you going home?"

"There's no hurry." Yang Wei turned over his horse, thought about it, and said, "Go to the Yushitai ......"

The second chapter is still being written, not so fast, don't wait~~ I've been sleeping later and later lately, it's too late~~
