At this time, it was already evening, the sun was setting obliquely in the sky, and the fiery red light shone on the entire Chang'an City, and the afterglow spilled into the National Teacher's Mansion and shone on the face of the National Teacher, reflecting the old twilight.

The initial generation of the Tang Kingdom has lived for a long time, whether it is him or Taiwei, even Yang Feihong's slippery old guy has not long left.

The national teacher had a smile on his face, the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, and the wrinkled crow's feet were clearly imprinted on both sides, and he sighed: "In the end, he is older, his temperament is much softer, and he is not as bold as young people." ”

Yan Hui's face was complicated, Xu Ziji opened his mouth to comfort him, but he hurriedly closed it, secretly laughing at himself in his heart, the old national teacher has witnessed countless winds and waves in his life, how can he need to comfort himself?

Li Xianyi, who was not far away, stood up from his seat, clapped his hands gently, dusted off some ink from his fingertips, looked at the national teacher and said with a smile: "The old man seeks stability, the young man takes risks, each has its own merits, where can it be said that it is not as good?"

The national teacher did not speak, and his kind face was gentle and did not take it to heart.

The table has been emptied.

Ying Zi'an, the general of the left guard, held a wooden tray in his hand, where dozens of scrolls were still stacked, and there were three jade slips on the top, which were the reporting methods that only the court officials above the second rank were qualified to use.

"Your Highness. ”

He looked at Li Xianyi's back and shouted softly.

The seat is infinitely beautiful, but it is far from being as good as imagined, and it is very troublesome to just say that it is a matter of reviewing and reading, and at first I thought it was very interesting to watch the world's major events, but it was the same thing when I saw more.

Li Xianyi waved his hand impatiently, and said casually: "Send it back to the Xuanzheng Hall first, and it's not too late to watch it at night." ”

Ying Zi'an hesitated for a moment and said, "The twists and turns of the Xuanzheng Hall have been piled up in the past few days. ”

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then an angry look appeared on his face, and he scolded: "Go to the Xuanzheng Palace, send all the folds to the Xiangguo Mansion, and let Yang Feihong complete the review within three days, otherwise he will be retired from the position of the assistant minister." ”

Ying Zi'an grinned, thinking that Lord Xiangguo had really annoyed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these days, and there was no good life now.

Yang Feihong is a clear member of the prince's faction, but he doesn't do anything, he doesn't do anything at all, he fights cocks and walks birds all day long, and doesn't do his job.

Ying Zi'an left the National Teacher's Mansion with dozens of scrolls, and Li Xian glanced back at the clean table and took a deep breath, feeling very comfortable.

A breath of fresh air is born from the body and fills the top of the head, which is very pleasant.

"Well done. ”

He walked to Li Xiu's side and stood down, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, looking like a young man with a future, I admire your appearance.

Li Xiu glanced at him and asked, "What is Your Majesty's intention?"

Li Xianyi shook his head, showed a very clean smile, and said softly, "Don't bother to ask." ”

There are some things that cannot be easily asked, because you don't know if the answer is beneficial to you.

Holding his breath for the matter of locking the Sky Tower, it is like playing chess, of course this will take revenge, if you go to ask the Tang Emperor and get an unfavorable answer, then do you want to continue to retaliate?

In that case, it is better not to ask, so it is the best policy.

"It is imperative to open the Sky Lock Tower, and you can't make a fuss about it, and with the national strength of Datang, opening the Sky Lock Tower once is indeed a good thing for the whole world. ”

Li Xiu said lightly.

You can't just rely on a reckless spirit to do things, you must follow the general direction and trend of the world, and opening the Sky Locking Tower is a very popular thing.

Li Xianyi looked at him and asked, "What are your plans?"

Li Xiu looked at the water surface of the small pond in front of him, and said meaningfully: "There are too many people on the queen's side. ”

Yan Hui and Xu Ziji already knew his plan, but they still felt very bold and did not interject.

The prince was silent for a while, and then asked directly, "Kill whom?"

"Jiang Manquan. ”

The national teacher held the fishing rod in his hand, and there were waves on the calm water.

Li Xianyi looked at the red koi that was about to be hooked, lowered his head and thought about it, and then said very seriously: "He is indeed the best candidate." ”

Xu Ziji behind him froze for a moment, he always thought that His Royal Highness the Prince wanted to kill Jiang Manquan only because of Concubine Yang at the beginning, but he didn't expect that there were other factors.

Yan Hui nodded, Jiang Manquan is in charge of the household department, and the household department is in charge of the operation of the entire Tang Dynasty's money and grain, it is an out-and-out fat difference, since he fell to the queen's vein, the silver flowing out of his fingers is even bigger.

"Just how to kill?"

Li Xianyi touched his chin and felt a little tricky, after all, he was a first-class member of the dynasty, and he couldn't kill it if he said it, not to mention that he was protected by the queen and the princess.

Unlike Concubine Yang, when Li Xiu returned with the general trend, it was clear that he wanted to kill Concubine Yang, and the old lady Yang at that time had no support in the court, she was not pleasing at both ends, and even offended, she was about to die, naturally no one was willing to help, not to mention that she faintly got the approval of the Tang Emperor.

Yan Hui said softly on the side: "It is very simple to frame and frame, it is rare how to convict. ”

The best way to kill a person in a dignified manner is to frame him, even an innocent person who is innocent but not demonic can fabricate a lot of guilt at will.

As he said, the most important thing is how to convict these crimes.

Li Xiu looked at the water of the small pond, the koi kept swallowing fish food, and the hook seemed to be tempting, but the national teacher was very patient, quietly watching this scene and not rushing to start the rod.

His eyes were fixed on the water and turned back and forth, and he spoke: "Tang Law stipulates that in case of major cases, Dali Siqing, Shangshu and Shilang of the Criminal Department should be tried together with the Imperial History Zhongcheng, and the three divisions should decide the case. ”

Dali Siqing is the person of Yuan Wenzhao is the queen, and Song Daren, the secretary of the criminal department, is the person of the prince.

One win and one loss, what we have to see now is the attitude of Cheng Dingyi in the imperial history.

And everyone in the court knows that Ding Yi is the absolute confidant of the Tang Emperor, and not long ago, the Tang Emperor issued a decree to give Yu Ruyi to open the Sky Lock Tower and seal Li Wenxuan, so it seems obvious how Ding Yi's attitude will be.

The capital offense of the first product of the household department of the dynasty is of course a major case.

The three envoys are indispensable.

Yan Hui said with some concern: "Even if Ding Yi is on our side, according to Tang Law, if Dali Siqing is dissatisfied with the result of the trial, he has the right to directly ask for a holy judgment." ”

It is very difficult to convict a high-ranking person.

"There's no need to worry. ”

Li Xianyi waved his hand, then stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose, grinning: "The current holy judge is me!"
