"Foolishness...... How can I have such a stupid person as you in Datang!" Li Daoyuan was furious, "You are still a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, a high-ranking official above 10,000 people under one person, it's ridiculous!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life, the minister is guilty......" Zuo Taibei kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and the blood on his forehead flowed out.

"Come on, pull it out, cut it. Li Daoyuan cinnabar pen waved, and wrote a cut under Zuo Taibei's identity jade plate, and in an instant, the identity jade plate that flashed with white light became dim, and Zuo Taibei's cultivation suddenly disappeared.

This is the natal jade card, once the natal jade card is sentenced to death, then the owner will not be long in life.

This is a terrifying method for the Tang Emperor Li Daoyuan to manipulate civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!" "Your Majesty, spare your life!" Xiuwei was abolished, his life was broken, Zuo Taibei's face was dead gray, and the person was paralyzed on the ground, and he was directly carried away by the iron guard, and pushed to the noon gate and beheaded directly.

All this happened to be seen by Cheng Wanli, who rushed to see the driver.

When he boarded, Cheng Wanli was paralyzed on the ground in fright, of course he knew that Zuo Taibei was beheaded because of something.

This Zuo Taibei must have confessed to him when he was dying.

"Cheng Shangshu, Your Majesty is still waiting for you, hurry up!" Shangguan Yun said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I, I'll go, I'll go right away. Cheng Wanli's whole body trembled, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead, which was very heavy.

Tens of meters away, he felt like he had walked a lifetime.

After entering the main hall, Cheng Wanli saw Li Leng standing motionless on the side, and his heart jumped, knowing that something was wrong.

"Minister...... See Your Majesty. Cheng Wanli said tremblingly.

Li Daoyuan's face was shocking, he looked at Cheng Wanli coldly, half a sound, and said coldly: "Cheng Wanli, Zuo Taibei has been recruited, what else do you have to say?"

Cheng Wanli was frightened and said tremblingly: "Minister...... The minister is guilty, because the minister does not know the person, so he ...... Only then did villains like Zuo Taibei ...... Deliberately framed His Royal Highness the Ten Princes. ”

"You're quick to admit it. Li Daoyuan's anger seemed to have subsided a lot, and his tone towards Cheng Wanli was not so sharp and full of murderous aura, "But are you just ignorant of people? I see that you are clearly harboring evil intentions." Zuo Taibei has already recruited, and you instructed him to play the Ten Princes for no reason, do you dare to say that you are not harboring evil intentions?"

"Yes, the minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty. The minister did hint at Zuo Taibei, if His Royal Highness the Ten Princes had bad intentions, he could play and participate in His Royal Highness the Ten Princes. Cheng Wanli's eyes rolled, his keen sense of smell seemed to smell something, and he directly admitted all the charges, and said, "The reason why the minister did this is because His Royal Highness the Ten Princes had ignored the laws and regulations of etiquette and religion before, and had repeatedly made disrespectful words to His Majesty in different places. This time, His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and the minister was strongly opposed, but His Majesty has decided that the minister can only follow the order. However, the minister is afraid that His Royal Highness the Ten Princes will not learn the previous lessons and speak falsely, if so, how can he represent my Tang Dynasty? Therefore, the minister will hint to Zuo Taibei, if His Royal Highness the Ten Princes have any inappropriate words and behaviors, he can write to His Majesty and remove His Royal Highness the Ten Princes from the post of envoy. ”

Hit a rake.

Zuo Taibei has been cut down by Li Daoyuan, so no matter what Cheng Wanli says, in the end, he is dead without proof.

Li Leng stood there very calmly, without a fierce rebuttal, nor did he excitedly prove anything, as if the people and things that Cheng Wanli said had nothing to do with him.

"According to what you say, you are still a loyal minister, and I have to reward you well, don't I?" Li Daoyuan snorted coldly and asked angrily.

"I don't dare. Cheng Wanli kowtowed and admitted his mistake and said, "No matter what, the minister has the responsibility of not knowing people and speculating on the holy will." I am willing to die to correct the authority of my Tang law. ”

"Don't show your loyalty to me, I won't eat you. Li Daoyuan said coldly, "You deliberately framed the Ten Princes, then good, I will hand you over to the Ten Princes to deal with." Whether you are dead or alive depends on the meaning of the Ten Princes. ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Li Leng, who was speechless.

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that this is a difficult problem that Li Daoyuan gave Li Leng out.

Li Daoyuan didn't want to kill Cheng Wanli, otherwise, he wouldn't have let the Iron Armor Guard cut Zuo Taibei before the matter came to light.

This is clearly murder and death, and there is no proof of death.

For Li Daoyuan, the Ministry of Rites deliberately framed Li Leng, and there must be an explanation for the matter, otherwise where to put the royal family's face. With Zuo Taibei's life, it is an explanation of Li Leng's grievances.

But the matter is handled completely according to Li Leng's intentions, and winning Cheng Wanli will inevitably trigger a new round of personnel changes in the DPRK bureau.

In this game, he doesn't know how much initiative he will occupy and what consequences it will cause, and he is not sure to control the overall situation.

Therefore, Li Daoyuan didn't want to kill Cheng Wanli, he wanted to keep Cheng Wanli and stabilize the situation first. But he couldn't say it, he couldn't do it directly, someone had to give him a step.

This person is best Li Leng.

Therefore, Li Daoyuan deliberately handed over Cheng Wanli to Li Leng to deal with.

Cheng Wanli also saw Li Daoyuan's thoughts, so his attitude suddenly hardened.

But for Li Leng, Cheng Wanli must die.

The Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the etiquette of everyone in the palace, this etiquette seems to be a trivial matter not worth mentioning, but if it is amplified by someone with a heart, the accumulation will also cause Li Daoyuan's suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Li Leng was worried about the Jade Concubine and the Ziluo Palace, after he sent the Han Envoy, the Jade Concubine and the Ziluo Palace became isolated, Cheng Wanli really wanted to find something, it was very easy.

There is another reason, just a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites, but also can not cause changes in the court, he is difficult to have the right to speak and influence in this personnel change, must also vacate the position of Shangshu, and when he comes back from the Han Dynasty, with great merit and the title of the county king, he happens to participate in the game of personnel changes.

It's just that he died in Zuo Taibei, and vacated the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but I am afraid that he has not returned to the Han Dynasty yet, and the imperial court has already established a candidate, and the personnel changes have nothing to do with him in the end.

However, Cheng Wanli's book of rites is different. This position is very important, and all forces are very concerned, and everyone who wants to win this position is bound to fight for the head of the blood, and no one is willing to give in.

Li Daoyuan, who is good at balancing, will not make a decision so quickly, considering the complexity of the situation in the DPRK.

This gives him time to buffer.

Considering the pros and cons, Li Leng is going to kill Cheng Wanli.

This dangerous move, no matter how much it costs, he has to go on.

Cheng Wanli suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Li Leng, and begged bitterly: "I beg Your Highness to spare my life, the minister knows that he is wrong." The minister promised that there would be no next time. ”
