Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2263
Walking out of the palace, Li Yuanjing looked at the spacious Tianjie in front of him, then looked up at the clear sky, and took a deep breath of air, as if he was reborn.

The breeze blew by, and the body felt cool, and only then did I realize that the jacket had already been soaked in sweat, sticking to my body...

It's like breaking through the gate of hell!

He knew the character of His Majesty Li Er very well. Back then, the Xuanwu sect beheaded Jiancheng and Yuanji, and then exterminated the two families. All males, whether they were adults or not, were all killed. He once watched Jiancheng's two young sons helplessly. King Runan and King Julu cried and begged their second uncle for mercy, but they were hanged to death in the mansion by Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong who were like wolves like tigers...

That is the sibling of Majesty Li Er's mother and compatriot, who has followed him since he was a child, and his feelings are much deeper than his own.

However, when the whole family was wiped out, was there ever a half-break-up?
Li Yuanjing understood that as long as Hegan Chengji and others confessed their plot, what awaited him would be ten times worse than that of Jianjian and Yuanji!

Fortunately, I bet right...

I knew that this was a selfish person who was just trying to catch his name and made great achievements. Moreover, he was arrogant and conceited, and he never put the heroes of the world in his eyes.

As for his plot, whether His Majesty Li Er knew about it was one thing, but whether he dared to kill himself was another matter.

But in the future, you must clamp your tail tightly, and you must not make a single mistake, otherwise you will definitely die and be miserable if you are caught by the pigtail...

Ma Zhou walked ahead with a blank expression on his face.

He naturally understood His Majesty Li Er's concerns. As the emperor's favorite minister, how could he not understand the emperor's thoughts?
So even though he was unwilling in every possible way, he did not try his best to remonstrate.

He regards himself as an admonishing minister, but it is different from Wei Zheng's unscrupulous admonition to His Majesty Li Er in all directions. He knows where His Majesty Li Er's bottom line is, and is willing to touch His Majesty Li Er's bottom line at the same time, compromise.

A king of a country naturally has the dignity of a king of a country, how can he allow his subjects to wantonly slander, attack and annihilate him?
As a courtier, he naturally has the duties of a courtier. Apart from being diligent in government affairs and devoting himself to the king's affairs, he cannot trample on the emperor's face without any scruples.

Otherwise, it is not the right way for the ruler not to be the ruler and the minister not to be the minister.

But in the final analysis, I am still dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er's compromise this time...

Ma Zhou left the palace and walked a few steps. His subordinate officials had already led the horse. He took the reins and got on the horse. He looked at Li Yuanjing and said, "My lord, please go back to the mansion. I will send you back later." People sent those suspects to the mansion."

Li Yuanjing waved his hands with a smile, called his carriage over, looked at Ma Zhou and said, "How dare you bother Mafu Yin? This king really has no choice but to offend Mafu Yin Haihan. Let's go back to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion together with Governor Ma, and take him away, and Governor Ma will also be clean."

He doesn't dare to leave Ma Zhou for a moment now. Although this guy is much more docile than Wei Zheng, he still doesn't tolerate sand in his eyes. He accepted His Majesty's imperial decree because he felt that His Majesty's majesty should be maintained in this matter, but once He believes that even His Majesty's majesty is not enough to cover up the harm of this matter, and he will definitely refute the imperial decree without hesitation.

Datang is a minister who can produce such wonderful things, his whole body is strong, as long as he recognizes his own truth, even the imperial power cannot crush him!

What are you doing?

In case Ma Zhou turned around and secretly interrogated Hegan Chengji and the others, it would be too late for him to cry...

Ma Zhou glanced at Li Yuanjing angrily, and said in his heart that he didn't know what he had done to protect those beggars.

He did have the intention of dismissing Li Yuanjing and interrogating the beggars immediately when he went back, but Li Yuanjing never left, so he couldn't do anything about it.

When the two returned to the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Ma Zhou said: "Your Majesty, take the prince to the prison and release those beggars."

Li Yuanjing said with a smile: "The king is so eager today, it has already made it very difficult for Mafu Yin, and I am really ashamed in my heart, how dare I make Ma Fuyin tired again? Just send officials to release him, and I don't dare to bother Ma Fuyin again." .”

Hegan Chengji was originally the crown prince's imperial guard, and he could be regarded as a member of the officialdom. He would recognize Ma Zhou if he was not equal. If the lie of "wife brother" was exposed face to face, it would make everyone unable to step down.

Ma Zhou had nothing to do, how could he know Li Yuanjing's thoughts?

Since there was no need for him to go to fetch people, he was naturally happy and relaxed, so he sent two officials with Li Yuanjing's cronies to go to fetch people. Not long after, the officials returned, saying that the person had been released.

Li Yuanjing still couldn't feel at ease in his heart, thinking of going back and sending Hegan Chengji far away, it is best not to return to Chang'an City in this life...

After saying a few polite words, he stood up and said goodbye.

After all, it was a member of the royal family, Ma Zhou didn't dare to lose his courtesy, he sent him outside the gate respectfully, watched him get into the carriage and went away, then he returned to the main hall and asked, "Is Duke Zhao still there?"

The official replied: "As soon as you and King Jing left, Duke Zhao left immediately."

When this matter came to such an extent, Ma Zhou was really unwilling, but no matter how unwilling he was, he could not go against the emperor's will.

He thought that since Li Yuanjing's people were all released, it would be useless to detain Changsun Wuji's people. Even if something was found out in the interrogation, how could he still rush into King Jing's mansion and arrest those "beggars" again?

The emperor's meaning was already very clear, even if these subordinates of Li Yuanjing were plotting to usurp, they had to let them go, let it go, if the evil intentions were not dead, then wait for the evidence to be conclusive before giving a thunderous blow.

Ma Zhou entered the duty room, ordered someone to make a pot of tea, and drank a cup. He felt that he should sell his face to Changsun Wuji, so he called a clerk over and said, "The criminals arrested in Xishi are still There are several children of the eldest grandson's family, just now Zhao Guogong came to ask for it, but the official refused, how can human feelings override the law? However, His Majesty has already pardoned a few people from Jingwang's mansion, and it would be a little bit absurd to pursue the children of the eldest grandson's family It's too much. Therefore, you go to the prison and release the children of the eldest grandson's family together."

How many of those clerks looked at the court with an adoring face and dared to reject Changsun Wuji face-to-face, and then prevented Changsun Wuji from having a fit?

but……

"Fu Yin, there is no one in the prison!"

Ma Zhou was stunned: "How is it possible?"

The clerk hurriedly said: "The meaning of the lower official is not to say that there is no one in the prison, but to say that all the people arrested from Xishi have been released."

Ma Zhou was furious: "Who dares to release the prisoner in Jingzhao Mansion privately, is there any law?"

The official was at a loss: "But... just now, you personally ordered the governor to go and release the prisoner..."

Ma Zhou was taken aback for another moment, and wondered: "The official asked you to release the people from the Jing Palace, why did you release the people from the Changsun family?"

The official was also in a daze: "When King Jing's cronies went to prison, they took those people away together. I don't know who is from King Jing's mansion and who is from the eldest grandson's family. We have not tried , there is no way to identify them at all, besides, I really did not expect that the Jing Palace would take away the members of the eldest grandson's family..."

It seemed like a misunderstanding, but Ma Zhou still felt that something was wrong.

Only a few people were caught in the prison, but Changsun Wuji and Li Yuanjing both came to ask for someone. Could it be... the people Li Yuanjing wanted, and the people Changsun Wuji wanted, were actually these few people?

what's the problem?

How did the people in King Jing's Mansion get involved with the eldest grandson's family?

Ma Zhou felt that his IQ was not enough, and he couldn't figure out the connection between it after a long time...

Simply leave it alone.

Whether it's the people from King Jing's Mansion or the Changsun's family, I've already let them go anyway, and it has nothing to do with me from now on.

As for whether the members of the Changsun family were taken away by the people of King Jing's Mansion, let Li Yuanjing and Changsun Wuji decide, you both have a lot of face, why don't we stay away from it?

*****
Li Yuanjing hurried back to the palace all the way, and when he arrived at the study, he ordered someone to bring Hegan Chengji and others up. Now he didn't bother to find out why Hegan Chengji provoked Fang Jun, why he made trouble in Xishi, and didn't even bother to take care of it. Why did Hegan Chengji massacre the defenders of Mingde Gate? He had only one thought--send them far away as soon as possible.

Even, pondering whether to completely silence it, so as to avoid future troubles...

Not long after, the cronies took him to the study.

Although he knew that now is not the time to pursue responsibility, Li Yuanjing was still furious. As soon as he came in, he slapped the table and angrily scolded: "Are you all pig brains? Huh? Don't you know that this mission involves far-reaching and serious consequences? Clean The neat way to complete the task is, why did you slaughter the defenders, why did you provoke Fang Jun, and why... eh?"

As soon as people came in, Li Yuanjing squirted furiously over his head and face, and when he sprayed halfway, he suddenly woke up, stared at the "beggars" in front of him with wide eyes, pointed his finger at the noses of these people, and asked in horror: "Wait!" who?"
