Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 164 If this succeeds, Li Tai’s nine lives will not be enough!
When Su Wang appeared in front of Su Chen with a smile on his face, Su Chen knew that Su Bin must have gained something.

However, Su Chen did not expect Su Bin to act so quickly.

"What did Su Bin say?"

"Sir, this is great news."

Su Wang smiled and took out the account book and a letter and handed them to Su Chen. "This matter is too dramatic. I don't know how to explain it."

"Oh?"

Su Chen took the letter from the account book curiously, opened it and took a look, and immediately became excited.

It actually records the various channels and amounts of stolen money used by Pingshui County Magistrate Wei Ziyue to extort money from the people.

Not only is the record very detailed, but also how much each person took is recorded one by one.

"nice one!"

Su Chen nodded repeatedly.

With the account book, it would be easy to remove Lin Yunchen from the court.

Su Chen couldn't wait to open the letter, and after reading it carefully, a strange look appeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, the helper Wang Xuance casually found to capture Lin Changshou turned out to be a clerk in Pingshui County.

What’s even more clever is that this person copied the evidence of Pingshui County Magistrate Wei Ziyue’s crimes and was wanted by Wei Ziyue. Under the guidance of Wang Xuance, he became a disciple of Su Bin.

Gee tut.

Such a dramatic story is possible in reality.

Su Chen smacked his lips and suddenly remembered a documentary program he had seen on TV before.

The police identified a suspect, but because he was hiding very well, there was no other news about him except for a phone number.

and.

The last call from this phone number was made a month ago, and no one knows whether the suspect is still using this number.

What’s interesting is that when several policemen were discussing how to proceed with the next plan, one of them made a phone call.

Under the confused gazes of other colleagues, the words "What are you looking at" successfully angered the other party, and they agreed to have a fight in a square.

then.

The suspect was arrested.

When Su Chen saw this show, he called it outrageous, and his mother opened the door to outrageousness.

But this video happened to be the process of solving the case recorded by a law enforcement recorder.

The suspect cried to death in the toilet.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Su Chen opened his folding fan and said, "This man named Jiang Wuyang is a talented person."

Su Wang smiled and nodded: "Master Su Bing also said that he would ask for a reward for him."

"Reward."

Su Chen laughed. The value of this thing was much more important than Lin Changshou.

"What's the reward?"

Li Chengqian walked in from outside with a smile on his face.

Su Wang bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian waved his hand. "I see you guys are very happy. Is there something happy going on?"

"of course."

Su Chen smiled and threw the account book to Li Chengqian, "If you read it, you will be ecstatic."

"Then I'll have to take a good look at it..."

Li Chengqian opened the account book nonchalantly, but after seeing the names and the amounts of money on it, his expression instantly became serious.

After reading it carefully, Li Chengqian gasped, "How did you get this thing?"

This is evidence of the crimes of many officials in Henan Province!
Such an important thing was actually found by Su Chen!
Simply unbelievable.

"This is actually an accident..."

Su Chen took out the letter with a smile, handed it to Li Chengqian, and briefly recounted what had happened.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but clap and laugh.

"What a great Jiang Wuyang!"

"If I'm not mistaken, he must have done this to protect himself."

Su Chen nodded: "It is his self-protection behavior that provides us with great convenience."

Li Chengqian: "This also shows that not all officials in Henan Province are corrupt."

Although the memorials submitted to the court were switched, other officials did not submit any memorials when the drought spread. This is enough to show that there were serious problems with the officials in Henan Province.

Now, the account book sent by Jiang Wuyang not only proved their guess, but also provided great convenience for them to rectify these officials.

"This involves nine states and hundreds of officials. Of course, it is possible that Jiang Wuyang did not write it down completely, and it is not ruled out that there are many officials who have not been recorded."

"But no matter what, with this evidence, it will be of great help to the rectification of Henan Province officials."

"Where is Jiang Wuyang? I will reward him well!"

Su Wang: "This person is with Master Su Bin. According to Master Su Bin's intention, he plans to keep him as his subordinate for the time being."

Li Chengqian nodded after thinking for a while, "Okay, tell Su Bing to treat this person well. If this person is really capable, I will use him."

Su Wang: "I obey your orders."

Su Chen: "Tell me, what good news did you bring today?"

Li Chengqian grinned: "How do you know?"

Su Chen: "A smile on his face, full of satisfaction, just like when he won Chengxin before..."

"Enough is enough."

Li Chengqian waved his hands repeatedly, he didn't even want to mention the things that made him happy.

digusting.

"My father has sent a message to you saying that the Crown Prince will be the regent and all court affairs will be decided by me!"

"Um……"

Su Chen tapped his folding fan and said, "You came here this time to investigate these matters and put the blame on Li Tai?"

Li Chengqian: "The one who understands me is Brother Su."

Su Chen pondered and shook his head, "From the current evidence, it is very easy to tear off Lin Yunchen and other minions of the Wei Palace."

"But if you want to involve the Prince of Wei's Palace, you need to use your brains. Besides, you have no say in this matter."

Li Chengqian seemed to be thinking about something.

The evidence in his hands was enough to completely replace some officials in Henan Province with his own people, and also to kick out Lin Yunchen from the Ministry of Revenue.

However, there is no evidence, either openly or privately, to show that these are related to the Prince of Wei's Palace.

and.

Given your Majesty's biased nature, even if this pot of dirty water falls on Li Tai's head, he will most likely let it go.

"Then give it a try."

Li Chengqian clenched his fists and said, "Even if it's a frame-up, I want him to have a taste of what it feels like to be pointed at." Su Chen nodded, "That's easy."

As long as the relationship between Lin Yunchen and the Prince of Wei's Mansion is spread through Tianxia Newspaper, Li Tai will naturally be criticized.

At the same time, you can also use Lin Changshou and let Lin Yunchen bring Li Tai in!
"If you want to make Li Tai sad, there is one more thing you can do."

"whats the matter?"

"Qin Ying."

Su Chen said meaningfully, "That day, Cheng Xin mentioned a lot of names."

"Shen Qiao, Qin Ying, and Wei Lingfu from Huisheng Temple."

Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, "You mean, in order to seek the position of crown prince, the King of Wei actually joined forces with Qin Ying of Xihua Temple and Wei Lingfu of Huisheng Temple, and used evil means to manipulate others to get the favor of the crown prince?"

"Good good."

"If this is accomplished, Li Tai will not have enough lives to kill!"

Unconventional practices have always been strictly prohibited in the palace. Once discovered, no one involved will survive!
Among them, the most widespread use of unorthodox practices was the witchcraft disaster during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han in the Han Dynasty.

In the second year of Zhenghe, Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Prime Minister Gongsun He, was accused of using witchcraft to curse Emperor Wu of Han and committing adultery with Princess Yangshi. Gongsun He and his son were imprisoned and died. Princess Zhuyi, Princess Yangshi, and Wei Kang, the son of Wei Qing and Marquis of Changping, were all executed.

The favorite minister Jiang Chong was ordered to investigate the witchcraft case. He used torture and frame-up to force people to confess. The ministers and the people were terrified and randomly accused others of crimes. Tens of thousands of people died as a result.

Jiang Chong had a feud with Crown Prince Liu Ju, so he took the opportunity to frame the crown prince, and together with An Dao Hou Han Shuo, eunuch Su Wen and four others falsely accused the crown prince. The crown prince was terrified and raised an army to kill Jiang Chong, but was later suppressed and defeated by Emperor Wu. Empress Wei Zifu and Crown Prince Liu Ju committed suicide one after another.

The three elders of Huguan and Tian Qianqiu and others wrote to the emperor to sue the prince for his injustice. The emperor finally came to his senses and exterminated Jiang Chong's three clans and burned Su Wen to death. Later, he built the "Si Zi Palace" and built the "Returning and Thinking Platform" at the place where the prince was killed to express his grief.

Su Chen poured cold water on Li Chengqian's expectations. "Whether to chop off his head or not is not decided by you or the ministers in the court, but by your father, the emperor."

Li Chengqian said coldly: "Then we have to see if he will continue to favor him!"

"What if it is?"

Su Chen picked up the milk tea with a smile, took a sip, and waited for the melon to be eaten.

Li Chengqian's face flickered, and then he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "If father really means this, then don't blame me!"

Snapped!
good, very good!

Su Chen nodded with great satisfaction, "You already have 70% of your father's appearance."

Li Chengqian: "..."

Reenacting Xuanwu Gate, right?
Li Chengqian shook his head and had a detailed discussion with Su Chen about some matters concerning tomorrow's court session before leaving.

Su Chen picked up the pen and paper again and started writing a short essay.

Afterwards, Su Chen wrote a letter in the tone of a chivalrous knight.

"Sun Qiang."

"What are your orders, son?"

"Throw this letter to Lin Yunchen's house, don't let anyone find it."

"Yes."

……

The next day.

In the morning.

Li Chengqian was wearing a royal robe and standing straight.

The ministers who arrived at the Taiji Hall all saluted.

Prince, why are you here so early today?
"I've met the prince."

"Fourth brother arrived quite early."

Li Chengqian glanced at Li Tai with a smile, and Li Tai also smiled. However, compared to Li Chengqian, Li Tai's smile gave people a more friendly feeling, as if he was going to give away money.

Li Tai smiled and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince has been investigating the substitution of memorials these days. I wonder if there is any progress?"

"No."

Li Chengqian shook his head.

Li Tai's smile became brighter, but Li Chengqian's next words made the smile on his face gradually stiffen.

"Although I haven't investigated Feng Wanli's affairs, I have received some information. The drought in Henan Province was caused intentionally by someone."

"If the officials of Henan Prefecture had submitted a memorial earlier, the situation would not have reached the point it is today."

"Today in the court, I will join all the officials to fight against the villains!"

Li Tai's smile faded, and after looking at Li Chengqian twice, he asked, "Where did you get the news?"

"Fourth brother, you will know soon."

Li Chengqian smiled meaningfully.

Li Tai's heart skipped a beat and he bowed and walked to his seat.

While thinking, Li Tai looked at Du Chuke and Lin Yunchen.

Du Chuke looked calm, but Lin Yunchen seemed a little absent-minded at this moment.

"My Lords, what is the important matter?"

"Your Highness, I have something to report."

Zhang Mingcheng from the Granary Department stepped forward and said, "The Prince of Hejian sent a message that the drought in Henan Province is severe and the food they brought with them for disaster relief is insufficient. So he sent an urgent memorial to us, hoping to use the granary in Henan Province. Please review it, Your Majesty."

After Li Chengqian took the memorial and read it, he handed it to Zhangsun Wuji.

After Zhangsun Wuji and the others had reviewed everything, Li Chengqian said, "Disaster relief is like putting out a fire. It is urgent. I want to open the granary to provide relief. What do you think?"

Fang Xuanling: "The prince is wise!"

Zhang Sun Wuji: "I second the motion."

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes."

As soon as the three of them spoke, the remaining ministers nodded in agreement.

Li Chengqian nodded, "In that case, Sir Zhang, this matter will be left to you to handle."

Zhang Mingcheng: "I obey the prince's order."

Li Chengqian spoke quietly, "Speaking of the drought in Henan Province, I have something to tell you, gentlemen."

"I received a secret report yesterday. The drought in Henan Prefecture should have been under control, but someone deliberately concealed it, extorted the people's money, and watched the drought worsen."

"I am deeply angry!"

Li Chengqian took out the improved account book, and with a cold look he swept over the ministers present, and said angrily: "I eat the salary of the emperor, and I worry about the emperor's worries!"

"But some people, after passing the imperial examinations, seek to levy heavy taxes and oppress the people!"

"Such evil thieves must not be allowed to stay!"

Hear the words.

All the ministers looked terrified.

How could there be anyone who dares to do such a thing that can get him killed?

He really values ​​money over life!
"Are you serious, Prince?"

"This is the account book I got. It records in detail the evidence of corruption and abuse of power by some officials in Henan Province! Please take a look, Prime Minister Fang!"
