Da Wei Chun

Chapter 403
Style Qiandian.

There are dozens of people standing or sitting in a huge hall.But whether it was the emperor sitting upright in the palace, the warriors standing on the steps of the palace, the Huangmen, or the courtiers below the steps, all remained silent.

The emperor had a strange face, and couldn't help but waved: "Come closer!"

Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei said yes, they walked forward a few steps together, and stopped under the first palace steps.He stretched his neck so that the emperor could see their plight.

Really miserable!
For example, Yuan Wei, although he is not as handsome as Yuan Ke and Yuan Yue, but at least he can be called Fu Bai Yi Zhuang, with good facial features.

But at this time, he is like a black monkey?
When the fire flared up, it hit Yuan Wei's face accurately, no matter what color it was before, it all turned black.Including the skin: it was too close at that time, and the temperature of the fire was not too low, so it scorched the oily skin on the surface?
Yuan Wei didn't have time to take precautions, and his eyes were smoked, and the eyeballs were bloodshot at this time.Furthermore, I was so annoyed that I would bark my teeth from time to time, making them white and bright...

Anyway, how does the emperor think, why does Yuan Wei look like a monkey...

Changsun Gong was not much better either.

Although it was not as dark as Xun Cheng Yuanwei, but his eyebrows and beard were scorched off.Not only that, but the hair was pulled and the scalp was scalded.

When the imperial doctor applied the medicine, he handed over a few pieces of hair from the wound, as if a dog had gnawed it.Changsun Gong did nothing but shaved off his hair.

The white that grows longer looks like a big egg at this moment...

The emperor tightly gripped the armrest of the imperial couch, the veins on the backs of his hands were bulging, and he couldn't control his smile.I have no choice but to look away first...

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Chengzhi with a wicked eyebrow.

With sleeves folded and waist hooked, neck stretched out and two big eyes staring at those two in astonishment...

Apart from admiration, Li Chengzhi really didn't know what to say.

He just wanted to destroy those three books, he really didn't think about what would happen to Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei.But who would have thought, almost burned these two to death?
There are seals of the emperor and secretary province on the backup book in the palace.The original book, that is, the one painted over by Li Chengzhi, also has the seals of Huben Zhonglang General Yuan Yuan and Recruiter Wei General Yuan Yan on it.

These two books are not easy to replace, so Li Chengzhi can only tamper with the original book.

Difficult to say, but simple to say: grind the ink with curly ear mixed with cuttlefish juice and other substances, and trace along the original handwriting. After a period of time, although the handwriting cannot completely disappear, it will turn into ink blobs.

But it was only three days, and there was definitely too little time, so Li Chengzhi had to use his brains again: this kind of ink will speed up its reaction when it is heated... Just like fax paper and supermarket receipts, it should be put in a close-fitting pocket, at most three to five My god, the handwriting can't be read clearly...

But with such a large booklet, who would carry it in his bosom? Li Chengzhi thought about it, and added some things that can generate heat by themselves: the main ingredients are white phosphorus, fire nitrate, and metal sulfur.

White phosphorus is not difficult to make: take urine and sand and boil it hard...

But this thing is not an ordinary danger: the ignition point is only [-] degrees, not to mention lighting it with a fire, accidentally dropping it, or scratching it with a fingernail can catch it.

But who would have expected that these two were so urgent that they dared to stand in front of the open flame?

It would be their fate not to be burned to death on the spot...

While muttering in his heart, he suddenly heard the emperor's voice: "Li Chengzhi?"

"Chen is here!"

"After thinking about it, I always feel that even if you ruined the booklet, it should be useless?"

I'm out of my mind to admit it?

Li Chengzhi pointedly called out to Qu: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged... This matter really has nothing to do with my humble minister.

Your Majesty thinks, in addition to the original volume, the minister also borrowed the backup volume from the central office and the palace.If the minister moved his hands and feet, wouldn't he be afraid of burning Zhonglang's yamen hall and the palace hall where the books are stored?At that time, even if I have a hundred heads, it is not enough to cut off...

I didn't know that the booklet was in good condition when it was in my hands.But why in the hands of the eldest grandson Sima and General Genlang, it can spontaneously ignite... um, isn't it? "

After a short pause, Li Chengzhi woke up like a dream, "Who said there is no fire? It should be that Sima and Lang are too close to the lamp..."

Good thief, at this moment, are you talking sarcastic remarks?
Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei wanted to pounce on him and bite him.

The emperor also squinted at him.

Although he didn't know how Li Chengzhi did it, he was [-]% certain that it was definitely Li Chengzhi's tricks.

If talking about playing with fire, Li Chengzhi admitted to be the second, and no one in this world would dare to recognize the first...

Yuan Ke sighed deeply: "Did you develop something to set fire again? If there is, please donate it. I forgive you for your innocence this time?"

Are you kidding me?
Only when the brain is kicked by a donkey will they be fooled like this.

Li Chengzhi shook his head like a pendulum clock: "Your Majesty misunderstood, did you really not do it for the minister?"

Is this a posture of not admitting to death?

The emperor was speechless for a while, and looked up at Yuan Yuan and Ting Weiqing You Zhao: "It's been a long time of investigation, have you ever found evidence of artificial arson?"

The two blinked their eyes and just looked at Li Chengzhi fixedly, but didn't speak.

certificate?

Not to mention the evidence, I didn't even find a trace.

You Zhao raised his hand and replied in a solemn voice: "When I entered the recruiting yamen guard, the three yamen rooms have been burned like charcoal cellars. Not to mention the booklets, even the desks, beds, bookshelves, and even the roof They were all burned to a handful of ashes, and there was no trace left...

The minister asked all the officials and officials who were present at the time one by one, but he didn't ask about anything unusual.Forgive me for your incompetence, I really can't find any traces of intentional arson..."

It means that today's release, nine out of ten is unintentional fire...

Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei's liver hurts, and they can't wait to greet You Zhao's ancestors on the spot.

Don't look at this old man's ugly appearance, he doesn't look like an official at all, just like an old farmer.But he is not only Ting Weiqing, but also serves as a servant.

And You Zhaoben is a great Confucianist in the world. In terms of knowledge, Liu Fang and Cui Guang may be inferior to him.Therefore, when Yuan Ke was not a crown prince and was only the second son of Emperor Xiaowen, You Zhao was his teacher.After becoming the crown prince, You Zhao has been concurrently serving as an official of the Eastern Palace, the crown prince and Taifu.It can be called the confidant of Yuan Ke's confidant...

His temperament is not ordinary: Gao Zhao wanted to change his name when he was at the height of his power, but You Zhao repelled him: the name "Zhao" was bestowed by the late emperor, and if he wanted to change it, he had to give him an order.

It means that you have the ability to bring Emperor Xiaowen back to life...

Yuan Wei couldn't hold back at the end, and asked full of resentment: "Dare to ask the Minister of the Temple, although the words of the assistant officials and officials are not abnormal, why did the Minister of the Temple not accept the testimonies of a certain and grandson Sima several times?"

You Zhao flicked his sleeves: "Both of you are conjectures, you can't believe it!"

Are you referring to that? It's obviously nonsense.

It is said that Li Chengzhi can cast demons, must it be a fire from the air?
He had already entered the palace at that time, and was waiting outside the Shigan Hall, several miles away from the place where the fire started...

Even You Zhao said so, what can the emperor do?
As Li Chengzhi said, the booklet was fine in his hands, why did it suddenly start to pop up when it was in Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei's hands?
And it was the two of them who forced it away, not Li Chengzhi forcing it on them...

I can only blame Li Chengzhi for his ingenious design, these two are too impatient, and have bad luck...

The emperor pondered for a while, then pointed to Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei: "Have you ever heard what Qing Siqing said?"

These two violent shocks filled the eyes with disbelief.

It means that it can only be dealt with as an unintentional fire...

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Yuan Wei knelt down and said sharply, "This plan is definitely not for Li Chengzhi alone. As long as his dozens of servants are arrested, we will be able to ask for clues..."

The emperor didn't respond either, he just observed Li Chengzhi's expression carefully.Seeing that he just sneered faintly, but did not see any panic, Yuan Ke knew that Li Chengzhi was really not afraid of this.

Apart from himself, Li Liang knew the details, so why should Li Chengzhi be worried?

If Li Liang could be forced to submit with just a torture, how dare Li Chengzhi call him into the capital?

The emperor turned his head to look at You Zhao again: "What do you think?"

You Zhaogong cupped his hands: "Your Majesty: Under torture, what can you ask for?"

It means that the confession given by torture and interrogation is not credible, and today's matter does not need to be so laborious...

The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth suddenly, and glanced at You Zhao meaningfully.

Yuan Yuan was also a little confused.

If it was said that Cai You Zhao was speaking honestly and bluntly, this sentence obviously meant to put Li Chengzhi on the wrong side.

Shouldn't it be?

Although You Zhao is not incompatible with Gao Zhao like Yu Zhong, the enmity between them is not small.From this point of view, he shouldn't be facing Li Chengzhi, right?
Li Chengzhi also couldn't figure it out, so the emperor guessed something.

One is that Li Chengzhi is famous for his literature, and his ambition is lofty, and his will is as strong as iron.You Zhao loves Wujiwu, so he regards him as the same kind.

The second is that the You family lived in Ren County (now Renze District, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), and the Wei family lived in Julu (now Julu County, Xingtai City). …

Everyone in the capital knew that the Li and Wei families were supposed to get married, and they were all waiting to see Gao Zhao's joke, so how could You Zhao not have heard of it?

The emperor sighed secretly, and waved his sleeves again: "That's it, let's finish this matter, Li Chengzhi stays, and everyone else will step down..."

Changsun Gong and Yuan Wei were both angry and impatient, and were stunned.

When I came here, I also imagined that even if Li Chengzhi could not be punished with death, he could still be exfoliated.At least this tiger will not even think about doing it.

How could it have ended like this?

The oracle has been issued, and it is a golden mouth, and the two dare not make noise.In desperation, he kept looking at Yuan Yuan.

I didn't want Yuan Yuan to do what I didn't know, so I bowed to the emperor as if nothing happened.

It wasn't until he turned around that he glared at the two of them, and pouted his lips towards the outside of the hall calmly, meaning to be more sensible and get out of here.

The two hated each other so much that they had no choice but to bow and leave first.

Out of the hall, the two stopped Yuan Yuan in unison, twisting their faces as ferociously as possible: "Zhong Lang, until now, I dare not ask Zhong Lang to reverse the case for me, I only ask Zhong Lang to reverse the case for me. Can Lang explain the confusion to the subordinate:
His Majesty obviously suspected that this matter had something to do with that thief, but why did he make such a decision? "

Why else?

Just because His Majesty knew very well that even if You Zhao was forced to investigate, probably nothing would be found.

It's not that You Zhaohui pretended to be self-serving, but the emperor concluded that Li Chengzhi had already prepared, and it must have been a mess in the end.

As for arresting Li's servants and extorting confessions by torture?

The imperial court has its own laws, even the emperor can't do everything he wants: no matter how bad Li Chengzhi is, he is also an official of the imperial court, a court official of the fifth rank, how can he arrest his family for no reason without evidence?

Of course, if the emperor is completely hated, even if there is no trial or sentence, Li Chengzhi can be killed.But His Majesty favored him day by day...

Yuan Yuan waved his sleeve lightly: "What is there to doubt? You Siqing's sentence is not unfair, His Majesty can't force a wrong sentence, right? You two don't complain, let's let this matter go..."

How can you not be angry?
My cousin has just been shot and crippled, and I have been disfigured again. The enmity with Li Chengzhi is already irreconcilable, how can I just let it go?
Yuan Wei gritted his teeth tightly, and his voice seemed to be forced out of his throat: "Dare to ask Zhong Lang, as a general, how should I behave in the future?"

Why, do you still want to take revenge and go back?

You only think that the reason why I appointed you as Lang Jiang and Changsun Gong as Sima is to avenge your cousin Yuan Yi.But why don't you think about it, besides being a clan, what kind of friendship do you and I have?
It's just because of His Majesty's secret instruction...

After today's experience, His Majesty must also understand that with the two of you, you can't beat Li Chengzhi at all.

As long as three or two days, and as little as tomorrow, it is estimated that His Majesty will instruct him to transfer these two people away...

Yuan Yuan sighed secretly, and said in a solemn voice: "Zhong Jiong, do you remember that you asked this question the day you became a general, how did I tell you:
Be loyal to your duty, do your best, and don't hide your selfishness... If you had listened to me earlier, why would there be any disaster today?Well, think about it for yourself..."

Grandpa thinks about a bird feather?
Don't let me have private thoughts, why did you appoint me as the superior of that bastard?
Staring at Yuan Yuan's receding back, Yuan Wei only felt hatred.

And Changsun Gong muttered to himself like a dream, "Why did you just do it so easily?"

Yuan Wei gritted his teeth and roared, "It's all because of that old thief You Zhao..."

More than one You Zhao?
Don't you see that even Yuan Yuan looks like he doesn't want to be nosy?

The strangest thing is Your Majesty: Although Yuan Wei is young and his rank is not high, he has already been entrusted with a title, and he is a veritable king of the county.

If you are concerned about the face of the clan, even if, as Yuan Yuan said, the imperial court has its own laws and it is not good to torture Li Chengzhi's servants to extract confessions, you should call them in for questioning, right?

But how understatement is His Majesty, he clearly doesn't want to investigate further, yet Yuan Yuan's attitude is so strange?
Since they all wanted to favor Li Chengzhi, why did they let themselves and Yuan Wei be Li Chengzhi's superiors?

Thinking of this, Chang Sun Gong's mind flashed, and he shivered violently.His face, which was originally pale, turned pale from shock.

"Zhong... Zhong Jiong, hold back for now, don't act rashly..."

Yuan Wei's angry voice changed: "Why?"

Why else?

You and I are afraid that we will be used as guns.And nine out of ten it is His Majesty...

Changsun Gong glanced around, and replied tremblingly: "Don't ask, just wait patiently. If there is no accident, we will see the result in two or three days..."
