Li Xiu didn't sleep all night, worried.

At dawn, Li Shiniang rushed over and asked, "Brother sent someone last night, did the twelfth brother-in-law really have a big incident?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xiu nodded and sighed: "I can't keep him anymore, so I can only give him up and protect the right prime minister's mansion." ”

"If you can't implicate your family, then it's nothing." Li Shiniang was relieved to know this, and said: "A yuan is a yuan, and if you give it up, you will give it up." ”

Li Xiu said: "You tell Twelve Niang that she and Yuan Lian have reconciled and left, and as soon as the documents are due, I have arranged for someone to prepare them properly, but I must remind her to show that 'I am not in harmony with Yuan Huan'." ”

"Brother is worthy of his post and will be a prisoner." Li Shiniang clapped her hands and smiled, "Yuan has empty skin, but he is actually a fool, I have been annoying him for a long time, so it is better for Twelve Niang to remarry." ”

"Go ahead."

"Brother, don't worry, is it really a relative of our Prime Minister's Mansion? It's just the plaything of the Twelve Niangs, and if you lose it, you lose it. ”

Li Xiu sighed and waved her hand to let the noisy sister leave, her brows still tightened.

"Juro!"

Suddenly, Cang Bi, the manager of the Prime Minister's Mansion, hurriedly came, and said in a panic: "Shilang, there is a guest looking for you, claiming to be a commentator of Dali Temple." ”

Li Xiu frowned, walked out of the hall and looked out, only to see an official in a light green official robe walking on the corridor of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion without taking off his boots.

In normal times, this kind of person will inevitably be assigned to Lingnan. Today, Li Xiu has no intention of caring about this little thing.

"Dali Commentator Deng Jingshan, dare to ask, but will be the right school of the superintendent Li Xiu Li Shilang?"

"Exactly."

"Please follow us to Dali Temple."

"What?"

"There is a case, the matter will be imprisoned, this is an official document, please ......"

~~

Because it is a triage of three divisions, there are many officials in the Dali temple.

Yuan Tuo knelt in the hall, and the witnesses beside him changed one after another, adducing various charges against him.

"The legend will be the right school of the superintendent Li Xiu!"

With this shout, Li Xiu walked into the public hall accompanied by the officials.

As the son of the right prime minister's mansion, it was the first time he had encountered this situation, looking around the court, he didn't have time to see the whole picture, and his eyes had fallen on a person and couldn't take his eyes off.

Xue Bai is also there today, standing on the side of Yuan Xuan, looking like a gentle gentleman. There are many people around, Du Wulang, Da Xi Yingying, Yan Quanming, and Yan Jiming.

"Li Xiu." Yang Shaoxuan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who presided over the case, asked: "Do you know about Yuan Yuan's acquisition of rattan materials?" ”

"I don't know."

Xu Hao of the Criminal Department asked, "I really don't know?" Yuan Lian is your brother-in-law, and the two of you are quite close. ”

Li Xiu said: "Yuan Lian has reconciled with her sister, and our relationship is not close......

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Li Xiu, who had a calm face, in disbelief.

Xu Hao asked again: "If you don't know, why did you go to Yanxi to harvest vines and trees from the craftsmen who will be the overseers and the people of Yuan Huan?" ”

"Nope." Li Xiu said unhurriedly: "There is absolutely no such thing, it is just a rumor that catches the wind and shadows, and there is no real evidence." ”

"Yes!"

It was Yan Jiming who spoke.

Yan Jiming stood up in two steps, raised his hand to Yuan Xuan, and shouted: "For your own selfish interests, you sent people to Yanxi, hired carpenters, cut down with knives and axes, and peeled off the skin and muscles regardless of the dawn and night, but ignored the fact that the vines and trees for hundreds of miles in Yanxi are now almost exhausted. This move has aroused the anger of everyone in Yanxi, and people of insight have spoken out. Ann still dares to quibble here?! ”

Li Xiu squinted her eyes and looked at Yan Jiming, a little questioning.

Of course, he knew that hundreds of miles of vine trees in the river were about to be cut down, so he obeyed his father's order and sent officials from the general to protect them. From then on, the general will be the supervisor to supply the official paper.

Is this just as Yan Jiming said, colluding with Yuan Lian for personal gain?

Even if those officials were bribed, which aroused the anger of Yanxi, he hadn't received the news yet, how did Yan Jiming, the son of a Hebei official, know it first.

"This is a false accusation......"

"It's a fact!" Although Yan Jiming is young, his mouth is intimidating, "Today, Shengzhou Township has arrived in Chang'an, and he satirizes this matter with poems, and composes more than ten poems with the title of "Ancient Vines of the Sorrowful River", do you still want to quibble?!" ”

Li Xiu opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"There is no end to vines, but there is no end to writers!" Yan Jiming didn't let him speak, and immediately drank it, "Although the vine is a plant, it is warm and glorious, cold and withered, it is raised and grown, and it is crippled and died, it seems to have a life in heaven and earth." Now because of the evil officials, it must not happen, it is the strength of heaven and earth, slandering people, causing a thing to be defective! If you are greedy for the sake of the article, you will be greedy and make poetry and literature fall into obscenity and debauchery, and abolish the principles of nature, and dare to write on the paper? ! ”

Unlike Xue Bai, Yan Jiming was really angry.

He originally listened to Yan Zhenqing's words, and accompanied Xue Bai to Jingzhao Mansion to hear the trial, knowing that if he wanted to overturn the case, he had to fall on Yuan Huan, so he started to investigate from Yuan Huan.

In this investigation, he soon found out about the Yanxi vine, and he was furious about it.

It is important to know that no matter how fast bamboo paper is made, it will take at least a few years to decades to become popular. And Yuan Shu and others relied on their power to monopolize rattan materials, and cut them down at will regardless of the season, so that the price of rattan paper is soaring day by day, how can it help the literature of the world?

"Say! What kind of face do you have to write on the paper?! Yan Jiming asked again.

Li Xiu took a step back, saying in his heart that he didn't know about this matter, and he was deceived by Yuan Xuan.

However, when the words came to his lips, he was silent.

The scribe sitting next to him glanced up and jotted down the confessions.

~~

Just behind the wall of the public court, Gao Lishi and Li Linfu were sitting there, listening to the trial process.

After hearing that Li Xiu was taken down, the hall began to question Xiao Jiong to investigate his embezzlement of taxes. At the end, Xu Hao asked Yuan Hao again if he knew all this.

"Know...... Informed ......"

When Yuan Xuan's answer fell into his ears, Li Linfu finally showed a look of anger and said in a low voice: "General Gao Mingjian, this son was resentful because of his separation from the little girl, and deliberately bit him. ”

"Don't worry." Gao Lishi smiled: "The old slave just replied to the saint what he heard. As for the reason, the saint can tell for himself. ”

"yes."

Li Linfu knows that what Colliers wants now is stability.

Previously, the right prime minister's mansion was powerful, and he was bent on abolishing the prince, and Gao Lishi refused to help, but now it is not appropriate to let the situation expand.

"I'm not good at discipline, and I should quit. I'm afraid that the battle of Little Bolu and the battle of Stone Castle City have not yet been won greatly, in case the military budget is not enough......"

Li Linfu rarely begged for someone like this, bowed down and said softly.

Gao Lishi didn't respond, his eyes looked through the gap in the wall and looked at Xue Bai.

Li Linfu then understood what he meant, and instead of expecting others to help put out the fire, it was better to ask the person who set the fire to stop burning it first.

The case involved a lot, and it was tried from early morning to afternoon.

The three divisions ascertained the facts of the case and did not dare to make a judgment, so they only asked for a holy judgment.

Gao Lishi led Xue Bai and Li Linfu to the palace, but he didn't take Xiao Jiong again.

This Sanpin Jing Zhaoyin ended up in prison like this, and he couldn't even protect him.

"Xue Bai."

On the way to Miyagi, Li Linfu put down his posture and said to Xue Bai in front of Gao Lishi: "In the past, there were some misunderstandings and personal grudges between you and me, how about smiling and hating?" ”

This is the reign of a famous country, the winter of Tianbao's five years, whether to kill Xue Bai or not is only between his thoughts.

Xue Bai looked at Miyagi in the distance and said, "The right minister said yesterday that he was impartial and selfless, in this case, how can he laugh at the enmity and hatred?" ”

~~

The couch is placed under the osmanthus tree.

Li Longji was half-leaning and eating.

Seeing that Gao Lishi led people back, he motioned to Gong E beside him to put down the cup, listened to Gao Lishi's brief description of the case, smiled chicly, and picked up a letter on the imperial case.

This is the method handed over by Li Linfu to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

The small characters on the white rattan paper are very full, reflecting the frugality of a country.

But it was this prime minister who connived at his son-in-law and Jing Zhaoyin to embezzle taxes and occupy hundreds of miles of vine trees in Yanxi.

A fold, yesterday and today, are completely two feelings.

After a long time, Li Longji's gaze finally moved away from the fold, and glanced at Li Linfu lightly, and it could be seen that Li Linfu was extremely tormented at this moment.

"Xue Bai."

"Yes."

"You have made paper, what reward do you want?"

Xue Bai said: "Why don't you ask the saint to make me an official?" I make weapons and bamboo paper, but I can be a general as a supervisor and a right colonel. ”

Hearing this, Li Linfu had some resentment, and secretly said that Shilang was not bad about this shaft, and this shaft would stab Shilang in front of the emperor.

Li Longji said: "You are still young, wait for the imperial examination next year, and sharpen it for a few more years, I will let you concurrently serve as a prisoner, don't worry." ”

"Yes."

"I'll give you a mansion." Li Longji said: "This matter is arranged by General Gao, so you must not appear stingy." ”

"The old slave obeys."

Li Longji drank with a wine glass, and said with a smile: "You go and ask the officials of the DPRK and China, who doesn't know that I treat my subordinates well and never hesitate to reward." ”

This saint is indeed well-known for his generosity, and every courtier who pleases him is rewarded richly, and the mansions of the Yang family brothers and sisters, An Lushan, and Wang Ji are all rewarded by him, which is extremely magnificent.

It can be said that gold silk is like dung, and it is used like mud and sand.

Before Xue Bai could answer, Li Longji said again: "I only said that I am right to the right minister, I will give three hundred households, where the imperial palace is ashamed, and the treasures are from afar, the Chinese will announce it, and if I have a copy, I will give the right minister a copy......"

"Your Majesty."

Li Linfu was so frightened that he fell to the ground, wept bitterly, and said: "The ministers have no way to restrain them, and the crime deserves death!" ”

Actually, he is not guilty.

The whole thing is not serious, for example, he said that the little milk cat on the ground was a man-eating tiger and wanted to kick it away, but the saint found out that it was the baby from the little milk cat and he wanted to swallow it alone.

The problem is that he risks losing the trust of the saint as a result.

Sure enough, Li Longji didn't say that he wanted to punish him, and said lightly: "Get up on the right, it was Xiao Jiong and Yuan Shu who committed the crime, and it has nothing to do with you." I still need you to take care of my affairs. ”

"The minister is ashamed of the grace of God."

"Get up, you are a dignified prime minister crying your nose, making Xue Bai Boy laugh, and damaging the face of the society."

Li Linfu was so unwilling that he glanced at Xue Bai, but he knew that he could no longer expose this son's conspiracy in front of the sage, so he had to get up and respond: "The minister is guilty, and the minister obeys the order." ”

"You're at fault, too." Li Longji pointed at Xue Bai with a smile and asked, "Do you know what is wrong with you?" ”

Xue Bai said: "I made bamboo paper, in the long run, the lower the price of paper, the more convenient it is to study in the poor, but I am afraid of offending the world's gate valve clans." Therefore, it is framed by the right phase, and there is a way to take trouble. ”

"Sage, the minister did not frame Xue Bai, but ......" Li Linfu admitted with difficulty: "I was deceived by Xiao Jiong, Yuan Zhu and others." ”

Xue Bai said: "The right minister is a little credulous, first deceived by Ji Wen, and then deceived by Yuan Xuan. ”

"That's enough."

Li Longji was too lazy to listen to their attacks anymore, took over the file of the three divisions, and ticked the verdict.

He didn't have the patience to tell whose heart was dirtier, and it was all dirty anyway. Compared with the truth, he cares more about the balance between the government and the opposition, and cares about controlling everything for himself.

Li Linfu has lost his trust, but for the time being, there is really no one to replace him as prime minister.

The names Yang Gang and Wang Gang came to mind, and Li Longji quickly denied it, Yang Gang was not talented enough, and Wang Gang was not the best candidate for prime minister.

But it's time to limit Li Linfu's power.

Chen Xilie, the left minister, is too weak, and he can appoint someone to contain Li Linfu in the position of the left minister, which can be regarded as a kind of beating, and Yang Zhen is suitable.

"Summoning Yang Zhen to see me."

"Yes."

When Li Linfu heard this, his heart ached sharply, he lost a son-in-law and a Jing Zhaoyin position in this case, and he even lost another left minister.

At this time, the saint did not ask for his opinion, and he could not object to it.

It was originally a good opportunity to deal with the East Palace, but how could it be that the right phase suffered heavy losses?

Li Linfu glanced at Xue Bai, and said in his heart that Yang Yan is a mediocre talent, and he can have today's momentum, all with the support of Xue Bai and the forces behind him, and the current phase is shaky, the situation is critical, and he can't take care of it much.

Although he was still reluctant, he still spoke: "Sage, the minister has a request. The seventeen daughters of the minister's family and Xue Bai were in love, but the minister's strength was narrow, and because of some personal grudges, he beat the mandarin ducks, and now he repented and begged the saint to give him marriage. ”

When Gao Lishi heard this, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

He stood behind the saint and saw the verdict of the saint on the case, so he thought to himself, what a brother slave has lost a son-in-law, and he immediately wants to make up for a son-in-law.

Fold the yuan for a Xue Bai, if this matter is really done, wouldn't it still make the brother slave earn?

can only see if he can ask the saint for marriage, otherwise Xue Bai will not agree to it until now.

Xue Bai saluted and said, "Sage ......"

Li Longji snorted straight and said, "Shut up." ”

Li Linfu previously thought that Xue Bai was the son of an enemy, and he was reluctant to marry a daughter in every possible way. At this time, seeing that the saint drank Xue Bai, he had the intention of giving marriage, and he felt very happy.

Going around and around, the marriage that was resolutely ruined at the beginning is now trying to get it back.

"The minister knows that he is wrong, but he has indeed misunderstood state affairs because of personal grievances." Li Linfu said: "The reason why I asked the saint to marry is that the minister knows that he can change his mistakes, and he is willing to make peace with Xue Bai and ask the saint to fulfill it." ”

However, Li Longji actually waved his hand, groaned slightly, and said, "Xue Bai is still young, and he is not in a hurry to give marriage. ”

Even Gao Lishi was surprised, the saint didn't even hesitate to judge the big case, but he hesitated, why is it difficult?

Li Longji waved his hand, asked Li Linfu and Xue Bai to step back, and really discussed it with Gao Lishi.

"General Gao, do you know why I refused my brother's request?"

"But the right minister connived at his family and made the saint angry?"

"Definitely." Li Longji muttered: "Today, Yuesu came to the palace and told me in person that she wanted to marry Xue Bai. ”

Gao Lishi's eyes froze, and he was a little worried when he heard this.

Sure enough, Li Longji said: "Brother Nu made a mistake, and he was so anxious that he wanted to win over Xue Bai in front of me." Why is the prince? Is it also greedy for the credit of this bamboo paper? ”

Gao Lishi said in a low voice: "It seems that the prince has made a mistake, should it be those Hui people who are related to him, as the prince, secretly raising caravans and making money and spending?" ”

"Go on."

"Now it's all found out, the prince is still lucky, it's really not frank."

"General Gao, these are all words from his heart?"

"No, it's all according to the wishes of the saints." Gao Lishi smiled: "If the old slave wants to say what is in his heart, it can't be because Xue Bai is pinching the handle of the East Palace, right?" begged His Majesty to give him a marriage, the prince must have wanted to take advantage of Xue Bai's difficulty to win him over, but the news was too slow, and Xue Bai had already finished harming the right minister. ”

Li Longji smiled slightly, and waved his hand to ask the palace people to send the judgment of the three divisions back to Dali Temple.

~~

Dali Temple.

Yuan Shu was dragged out and took off his robe.

"Smack!"

He was hit with a hard rod on his cheek, and the pain was severe.

"I was wronged! I've recruited them all, and I said that I would ...... lightly."

"Smack!"

The cane didn't stop, but there were also officials who were willing to ignore him, and said with a smile: "It's already gracious, but it's light, you have committed such a big crime, and you only have a hundred rods." ”

"Smack!"

After a while, Yuan Shu was gone.

"Poof."

The corpse was tossed aside, still like a sack falling to the ground.

The official clapped his hands, and he was quite emotional in his heart, feeling that people really have to go to a high place.

For example, for the same crime, the eight-rank green robe was killed by a cane, and Jingzhao Yin Xiaojiong was just demoted to a Beihai member to join the military because he was a high-ranking official in the three-grade purple robe, which is the difference.

~~

Xue Bai left the palace and watched Li Linfu, who was dressed in a purple robe, leave surrounded by Jin Wuwei, knowing that the prime minister had worked very hard to extinguish the fire.

The fire of the bamboo paper case was indeed extinguished after scorching Xiao Jiong, Yuan Shu and others, but maybe there were still flames elsewhere?
