Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 224 Open Your Eyes and Talk About Blindness

Wu Rou raised her eyebrows, walked around to stand on the other side of him, and asked:

"Then how did you judge, how could you scare the always arrogant and bold Princess Gaoyang into committing suicide?

She knew clearly that His Majesty was soft-hearted and would take the friendship between siblings into consideration. Knowing that there was a precedent, the consort who helped the deposed prince Li Chengqian rebel was executed, and Princess Chengyang was not punished. What is she afraid of? "

Changsun Wuji's face turned darker and darker. He lowered his glasses and looked away from Wu Rou. He seemed to dislike her very much and said:

"How can outsiders know what she thinks? Besides, what qualifications does Wu Zhaoyi have to question me and ask me to explain to you?"

Li Shan had been standing behind Wu Rou. He was one forehead taller than Wu Rou. He stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back. Because of his displeasure, his temperament of keeping away from strangers became more and more distinct. He said coldly:

"I want to hear it too, please excuse me, Lieutenant-General."

Changsun Wuji then raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor. He seemed very surprised and angry, and said after a while:

"The file is clearly compiled, wouldn't His Majesty read it? As the mastermind, she died in shame after the incident was exposed. Is it any wonder?"

Li Shan asked directly:

"But you said at the time that Gao Yang was the one who reported Fang Yiai. If she was involved, why did she report it?"

Changsun Wuji seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time. He deliberately opened his eyes and said:

"When did I say that it was Princess Gaoyang who made the report? Your Majesty must have remembered it wrong. It was clearly a servant of the Fang family who told me."

Li Shan looked at him in shock, knowing for the first time what "opening your eyes and telling lies" meant.

He never thought that Changsun Wuji, his uncle, would be so shameless and rogue...

Wu Rou was also shocked. She did not expect that Changsun Wuji, an assistant minister, was so arrogant that he refused to admit that he had slandered the emperor and had a bad memory.

Facing the shock of the two young men, Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes and shook his body with his hands folded, as if he was a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

After a long silence. Li Shan suddenly laughed, a bit bitterly, his eyes flashed with disappointment, and he said warmly:

"It seems that in the future, whenever you talk to your uncle about something, you will have to send a messenger to record it word for word, and ask your uncle to sign it before you leave."

Changsun Wuji carried it without saying a word or looking at him.

Li Shan squinted his eyes, turned around, sat down next to the desk, and said:

"Uncle, please go back first. I want to take a look at this file again, and send a few more people to watch the cell. If a few more commit suicide out of fear of crime, huh..."

He sneered and did not continue. He looked sideways at the files on the case table, meaning something.

Changsun Wuji glanced at Wu Rou, bowed, raised his hands, saluted, and turned around to leave.

……

……

After he left, Li Shan sat next to the case, put his hand on the file, lowered his head and said nothing.

It was like there was a mountain pressing on his back, which was sad to watch.

Wu Rou walked to him and sat down, accompanying him, looking equally depressed.

After a while, Wu Rou asked:

"What is His Majesty planning to do?"

Li Shan then raised his head and said:

"The three departments will review it, and then go to the court for discussion. Putting the matter in the open, with so many eyes watching, may avoid injustice."

Wu Rou thought for a while and said:

"The Third Division? The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Censor, and the Minister of Dali Temple. Do you have confidence in them? Will they not care about Changsun Wuji's wishes and decide the case impartially?"

Li Shan stopped talking. These three were all veterans and had a good relationship with Changsun Wuji. He did not have that confidence.

Wu Rou thought for a while and said:

"I have an idea, it just depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to do it."

"What method?" Wu Rou raised her face, looked in the direction outside the door, and said:

"The mastermind of this matter is unknown to others, but His Majesty knows it. He must be related to King Pu Li Tai. King Pu's testimony is much more useful than Fang Yiai's.

Your Majesty can push King Pu out and make him spit. It is better for two people's testimonies to corroborate each other than for one person to bite at will.

Moreover, the relationship between relatives and friends of the Fang family is too complicated. It is because of the interpersonal relationships of the Fang family that Changsun Wuji is so involved.

If calculated according to the relationship between King Pu, it would be much simpler. "

Li Shan's eyes flickered, and after thinking carefully, he closed his eyes and said in despair:

"No... Changsun Wuji is determined to wipe out all the forces involved in the Fang family. As long as Fang Yiai can't escape the crime, everyone who went to the Fang family for the banquet that day will not be cleansed."

Li Shanyou sighed deeply, held his forehead a little tiredly and said:

"Involving more means that we can't kill them all. As long as people are alive, there are always ways to correct it. But if my fourth brother is involved... he may really have to die."

Upon hearing this, Wu Rou tilted her body slightly, followed his eyes, and asked eagerly:

"Then... just let Changsun Wuji wrongly accuse others? Princess Gaoyang died so mysteriously?"

Li Shanping's eyes flashed with boredom and hatred, and then he regained his composure and said:

"Save the surviving people first."

……

……

above the hall.

Li Shanduan sat on the throne, looking coldly at Changsun Wuji explaining the case to the courtiers.

"The Fang family has been in decline since Fang Xuanling's death.

Fang Yiai said that she envied the prominent status of my eldest grandson's family and wanted to be the uncle of the state, so he wanted his brother-in-law, the current uncle of His Majesty, King Jing Li Yuanjing, to ascend the throne as emperor.

After Li Yuanjing learned of Fang Yiai's plan, he neither appealed nor dissuaded him. His plan was to let Fang Yiai plan the plan and enjoy the results, so he has not admitted guilt to this day.

Later, Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang relied on their close relationship to slander His Majesty and gain influence. They even used the excuse that His Majesty favored Taizong's concubine Wu, and slandered Your Majesty's wisdom and called Him an immoral and ignorant king. "

After hearing this, Li Shan straightened his face slightly, looked at Changsun Wuji's figure through the swaying jade algae, and frowned slightly.

There was no such item in the last case file.

This made it difficult for him not to suspect that this was added temporarily by Changsun Wuji because he was afraid that the case was not convincing enough.

However, he had never made Wu Rou look bad in court before, or even mentioned it.

What is it like now, because he is disobedient, so you have to give him some discomfort, right?

Although Changsun Wuji was facing the ministers, his eyes glanced back slightly, as if waiting for the emperor to speak.

But Li Shan didn't say anything, nor did he react angrily.

So he went on to say:

“The consort Xue Wanche and Princess Danyang, the consort Chai Lingwu and Princess Baling have all pleaded guilty.

Before Princess Gaoyang committed suicide, she personally confessed that it was Wu Wang Li Ke who she contacted. Yu Wenjie, the servant whom Fang Yi loves to contact.

They also confessed that these two people had promised to control the inner court and assassinate His Majesty as internal agents during the uprising. "

Li Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, but before he had any reaction, the officials were already in an uproar.

He seemed to be greatly shocked, and there was a lot of discussion among each other for a while.
