Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2430 run away to avoid disaster
"Quiet your anger?"

Gao Shilian glared angrily, and shouted: "How do you let the father calm down? Since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been fierce, with blood flowing like a river. Every now and then, the whole family is overthrown, and the three clans are exterminated. You are short-sighted, don't go Thinking about how to make meritorious deeds, showing real meritorious achievements to protect the family, instead of using these crooked thoughts, is it so good to get the merits of the dragon?"

In the past, this son was regarded as the most promising one among the scholars, who knew that he didn't have much serious thoughts, but instead had too many tricks, which really disappointed him.

Gao Xun refused to accept it, and muttered: "What's so difficult about Conglong's merits? I think that His Majesty was not even the King of Qin back then, and his father also married Queen Wende to him, and spared no effort to support him. Only then did His Majesty ascend the throne as the queen of the emperor." My Gao family is so prominent? Now my son is just imitating his father, why can’t my son do what his father did back then?”

In his view, all the achievements of the dragon from ancient times to the present have to take certain risks, and the greater the risk, the greater the benefit. You were able to support His Majesty Li Er, who was the second son, why should I do it now? Can't support King Jing who is a prince?
Anyway, it is a risk, but once it is successful, the Gao family will go straight to the next level, and it will be a hundred times more famous than before!
Gao Shilian was so angry with him!
Picking up the teapot beside him, he was about to throw it at Gao Xing's head, so frightened that Gao Xun put his hands on his head... Seeing the blood oozing from his son's forehead, Gao Shilian's heart softened, and he threw the teapot down at his feet , fell to pieces with a "snap", and cursed angrily with the halberd finger: "It's so stupid! Can the things of the past be the same as the present?"

Gao Xun asked, "What's the difference?"

Gao Shilian's fingers trembled, and his beard was raised up in anger: "Your Majesty back then was a dragon and phoenix among men, and the qualifications of an emperor. Do you think King Jing can compare to it?"

Gao Xing thought about it, and felt that even if these two were thrown together in the crowd, His Majesty Li Er was still the one who was dazzling. Compared with King Jing, the gap was indeed not that big.

But what about this?

As long as His Majesty Li Er is alive, no one will dare to seek rebellion and usurp the throne, but as long as His Majesty Li Er dies, King Jing's status will be highlighted. The crown prince is just a cowardly, benevolent, generous, good old man, how can he compare to King Jing Your Highness is wise and mighty?
He pursed his lips and remained silent, expressing his attitude in silence.

When Gao Shilian saw that this son was still obsessed with comprehension, he was so angry that he was dying, and said forcefully: "If you still recognize me as a father, then immediately hand over the errands of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and rush to Hengzhou to take office. Otherwise, you will stand on your own, and the old man will sever the father-son relationship with you, and from now on, you will no longer be a child of my Bohai Gao family!"

This is serious, if he is expelled from the house, his reputation for high performance will be completely ruined.

Gao Xing turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said, "Why is father so stubborn? Now my fourth brother has gone to the Western Regions to serve as a small lieutenant in the army. If his son leaves the capital again, our Gao clan will never be able to return." No one is approaching the center!"

Gao Shilian's tone was firm: "Stop talking nonsense, what do you know about the general situation of the court with your elm head? Hurry up and go to Hengzhou to take up the post, otherwise it's no wonder that you are ruthless as a father. The old man will not be guaranteed at the end of the festival!"

These days, the father is the guide for the son, and you are allowed to perform the best of the world. The father has an order, and he dare not disobey, otherwise it is unfilial. Once such a reputation is spread, the reputation will be ruined, and the official career will be cut off. I can't wash it off.

Gao Xun could only hang his head in despondency, and said: "Father calm down, son will obey orders, I hope father will be in good health and live a long life..."

……

Gao Shilian seems to be gentle and humble, but in fact he has a vigorous character.

He scolded his son head and face, and later went out to the residence of Li Ji, the British Duke, to discuss the vacancy of the governor of Hengzhou.

Although the laws of the Tang Dynasty are strict, who can enforce the law can be unreasonable and monolithic?As a mere governor of Hengzhou, Li Ji naturally couldn't not sell Gao Shilian's face, so he agreed immediately, and wrote a document to the Ministry of Officials early the next morning.

Two days later, Gao Xingyi resigned from his position as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and hurried to Hengzhou to take up his post with several family servants and full of depression, leaving Chang'an...

*****
Changsun Wuji acted resolutely and summoned the chiefs of the Three Law Departments to investigate the two cases of Fang Jun's assassination and the discovery of coin molds in Qiu Xinggong's ancestral house.

But just at the beginning, it encountered difficulties.

Qiu Xinggong insisted that he had no knowledge of Fang Jun's assassination, and those family members who committed suicide by poisoning were not his instigation, and as for the coin dies, he even refused to admit it to death.

A meritorious minister like him, with a high status and great reputation, naturally cannot do the trick of extorting a confession by torture. If he keeps his mouth shut and refuses to confess, there is really nothing he can do about it.

Of course, the world where the monarchy is supreme, pays attention to "free evidence", no conclusive evidence is required, as long as the emperor finds you guilty, then you are guilty.

However, in the current situation, whether it is the family general who committed suicide by taking poison or the found coin molds, there are actually various doubts. Even the emperor can hardly be sure that these two things were done by Qiu Xinggong. If the evidence supports it, the case cannot go to trial.

But Changsun Wuji didn't feel troubled, if Qiu Xinggong confessed frankly, he would be disappointed.

If the case is closed quickly, how can there be any chance to expand the scope of the attack and attract more people?
Two days later, Changsun Wuji, holding a stack of thick files, came to the Dragon Hall to meet His Majesty Li Er and submit the materials for the trial.

……

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Qiu Xinggong refused to plead guilty. Due to the lack of sufficient evidence, he cannot be convicted at present. Through the investigation and interrogation of the veterans together with the Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, a group of suspects were identified. I sincerely request you Your Majesty issued a decree to allow us to interrogate him."

Changsun Wuji's dossier was placed in front of His Majesty Li Er, opening the case clearly and bluntly saying that a number of suspects need to be interrogated.

His Majesty Li Er was expressionless and sipped his tea slowly without responding.

What is a suspect, etc.?

Naturally, Changsun Wuji thinks whoever is suspected is the suspect, etc...

In fact, His Majesty Li Er didn't bother to ask how much evidence there was. Since Changsun Wuji was asked to try the case, he would naturally follow him. He could be tried as he wanted, and whoever should be tried would be tried.

As for whether Changsun Wuji will attack dissidents from it... Naturally, it is within the expectation of His Majesty Li Er.

His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup, and said: "Since I entrusted this case to the auxiliary machine to handle, I can trust you. I don't need to check these files. Don't hesitate to investigate boldly, no matter who is involved, you must cooperate."

After setting the tone, he paused for a while, and warned: "But the court must maintain stability at the moment, and nothing can ruin the plan of the Eastern Expedition. Those suspects, etc., can't be blamed if they don't have conclusive evidence. Among them, even if there is evidence, attention should be paid to the handling method.”

Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "The old minister obeys the order."

He naturally knew that His Majesty Li Er wanted to use his "knife" to cut off some forces that the emperor would personally cut off. This allowed the nobles of Guanlong to seek some benefits, but at the same time, the stability of the court must be the most important thing The most important.

After all, the grand plan of the Eastern Expedition is the supreme national policy at present, whoever dares to ruin this important event, then don't blame His Majesty Li Er for killing people with a knife!
"It's just that these two cases are intricate and involve too many people. Please take a look at your majesty, so that the old minister knows it well."

As he said that, he pushed the dossier to His Majesty Li Er again.

It is selfish to express myself in this way, but everything obeys your will. If you let me move, if you don’t let me move, I will never move...

His Majesty Li Er took a look at Changsun Wuji, and naturally knew his careful thoughts, so he didn't refuse immediately, opened the file casually, and took a look.

Just glanced at it, then was slightly taken aback: "Is Gao Xing involved in it?"

He closed the file again, and glanced at the handwriting on the title page again. It was indeed a case of private possession of coin dies...

Not only was it strange at the moment, but he could still understand if Gao Xing was related to the assassination of Fang Jun. After all, the two had a deep enmity. Deadly, reasonable.

But why is it involved in the coin die case?

Does this kid want to rebel?

His Majesty Li Er's complexion instantly darkened...
