Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 664 Stormy Waves (3)

"Presumptuous, is there anyone who talks to the Holy Spirit like this, huh?"

Empress Wu has had an extremely unsatisfactory life in the past year. Every time she suffers under Li Xian's hands, she has already listed Li Xian as the number one target that must be completely destroyed. The old fox teamed up and paid a huge price. Since she didn't want to see Li Xian have the slightest chance of making a comeback, and didn't wait for Gao Zong to express, she already spoke out and scolded him unceremoniously.

"Queen mother calm down, son minister has something to say."

Empress Wu's majesty, she stopped drinking in such a cold voice, not to mention the shock of the ministers below, even Gaozong's face changed, but Li Xian didn't care at all, and calmly bowed replied.

"Say? What else do you have to say? It's a shame that the Holy Majesty trusts you so much, and entrusts you with such important things as spring plowing, but you have done a lot, killing people, disturbing the people, and not admitting your guilt, but wanting to hope." Trying to quibble, do you really think that the laws of the country are fake?"

If you hit a snake, you have to be killed, otherwise you will be bitten by a snake. Empress Wu is very clear about this truth. She looked like a shrew swearing at the street, and immediately made all the ministers terrified.

"The queen mother taught me that the child does not dare to be rude and illegal. However, spring plowing is the foundation of the country. No matter how big or small, it is all important. You should be more careful. This person who investigates the case is indeed not to be ignored. Gao Xiangnian Gao Dezhao It’s true, it’s a pity that I’m already eighty years old, and my son and minister think it’s inappropriate to take on this important task, so I hope my father will learn from me.”

Li Xian didn't take Empress Wu's anger to heart, and explained it calmly.

"Xian'er's words are reasonable. Well, according to what Xian'er sees, who should be in charge of this matter?"

Although Gaozong wanted to let Empress Wu and Li Xian fight endlessly, he didn't want to see the mother and son arguing in court.

"Father, this case is of great importance. A non-competent minister is not enough to appoint him. My son recommends Pei Xingjian to take the lead, and Di Renjie as his deputy. He will surely find out the truth. My son begged for his permission."

This case has too much to do with it. If the truth behind it cannot be found out, not only will all the efforts since last year be in vain, but it will also shake the foundation of Li Xian's foothold in the court. Don't be careless, Li Xian had already figured out the key to how to deal with it before he came here, and when he heard Gaozong's question, he immediately hurriedly answered according to the answer he had discussed with Zhang Jianzhi.

"It's absurd. Di Renjie, as Minister of Agriculture, was already involved in the case, but he acted as the interrogator himself. The result he got was so fair. What's your intention in bringing up this suggestion, huh?"

Empress Wu was determined to make Li Xian look good this time, and she didn't want to leave Li Xian with the slightest possibility of retaliation, but she was quite afraid of Pei Xingjian, the chief assistant, so she couldn't make irresponsible remarks in person, but she never agreed Di Renjie, the best friend of the East Palace, participated in it, and before Gao Zong could speak, he scolded angrily.

"Why did the queen mother say this? All the special envoys for spring plowing were sent by the ministers. If there is a mistake, it is the responsibility of the ministers alone. Not to mention that it is just the words of the governor of the five states. It is hard to say which is right and which is wrong. , but what has he to do with Disinong?
Others were afraid that Empress Wu would be cruel and merciless, but Li Xian didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, if it really didn't work out, then there would be a "Xuanwu Gate Change". It's difficult, Li Xian will never show any mental retardation, so he is not afraid of the arrogance and domineering of Empress Wu, so he pushes back unceremoniously.

"Crazy, the facts are all there, I don't want to regret it, I keep arguing with myself, what do you want to do, huh?"

Empress Wu has always had a strong personality, and when her strength was not strong in the early years, she could tolerate changes, but after so many years of facing the court, her temperament has already become tight, so there is no room for others to argue endlessly with her. Being so strong, anger surged up like a "bass", and he slapped the dragon's case with a livid face, and reprimanded loudly.

"My queen mother, please forgive me for not agreeing with my son. How can it be said to be true based on the one-sided words of the governor of the five states? If necessary, it would be difficult to find dozens of states and counties to come out and sing the praises of spring plowing!"

Seeing Empress Wu go crazy, Li Xian refused to show weakness, and said in a cold voice again.

"you……"

Empress Wu couldn't get over Li Xian after repeated attacks, her face turned pale with anger, her eyes widened, and she wanted to scold Li Xian angrily.

"enough!"

Seeing that the mother and son were about to face each other in court, Gaozong couldn't hold back his face, and his face was ashen and he drank a scorpion.

"Father calm down, my son is rude."

"Your Majesty calm down, your dragon body is critical."

Seeing Gao Zong get angry, the mother and son dared not continue to quarrel, and each confessed their crimes.

"Wait, wait... Alas, that's all, I have decided on this matter, and Pei Xingjian will be in charge, Gao Zhizhou and Di Renjie will be deputy, within two months, we must find out the truth!"

Facing this pair of strong mother and son, Gao Zong felt helpless despite having a headache. He really didn't want to suffer in the middle of the two. All the people waited for another chance to speak, got up and turned back to the apse.

"Humph!"

As soon as Gaozong left, this matter could not be discussed anymore. No matter how annoyed Empress Wu was, there was nothing she could do. In the hall, a group of people waited to see this, and had nothing else to say, they each left the hall, and the heated debate came to an abrupt end... "His Royal Highness is back."

"See Your Highness!"

In the East Palace study, Zhang Jianzhi, Di Renjie and others were discussing matters in low voices, when they heard footsteps sounded suddenly, they all raised their heads, seeing that the person who turned from behind the screen was Li Xian. Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, each got up and greeted each other in a hurry.

"Sit down."

Li Xian is obviously in a bad mood. Although his face is calm and calm, there is a faint haze in his eyes. Facing the salutes of the crowd, Li Xian is not too polite, and strode to the front A few children sat down with their heads upright, pressed their hands, and gave an order in a flat voice.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When the crowd saw Li Xian's expression changed, they couldn't help being a little nervous, but they didn't dare to ask more questions. Qi Qixun thanked them and took their seats.

"My lords, the Queen Mother is calling today for all the things Mr. Zhuang Zhang said..." Li Xian looked around at the crowd, and described in detail what happened in the Xuanzheng Hall. Frowning, he said: "This time, the Empress Mother and the King of Yue joined forces to put the palace to death. Now only by finding out the truth can we break the catastrophe. I don't know if you have any concerns?"

"His Royal Highness, I believe that the key to this matter lies in Luzhou. If we can break through here, everything will be settled!"

Zhang Jianzhi's personality is upright, he is always the first to speak when discussing matters, and this time is no exception, as soon as Li Xian finished speaking, he was the first to speak out and suggest.

"Well, among the prefectures, Luzhou is the only one who claimed to have committed a murder case. If this lie can be exposed, the rest of the prefectures will not be worried. It's just that this palace has never had any friendship with the King of Han. It may not be easy to make a comeback in the territory under its jurisdiction. I wonder if Duke Di has confidence in this?"

Li Xian has no objection to what Zhang Jianzhi said, but he is not very sure. After all, Li Yuanjia is very senior, and he is the youngest son of the great ancestor, so it is difficult to use force. It's not very strong, if you really want to gnaw such a hard bone, the difficulty is really too high.

"I should do my best!"

The impeachment case of the Governor of the Five States came extremely fiercely. If it cannot be passed, the East Palace Department will be severely damaged. Under the collapse of the nest, there will be no end. Di Renjie knows this truth very well, and he knows that this is going to be a disaster. It's hard to predict, but for the sake of the overall situation, Di Renjie can only go to the tiger mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountain.

"Okay, with Duke Di coming forward, it shouldn't be difficult to solve this case. Let's say this, my palace will hand over Li Yaodong, Ye Sheng and others to the command of Duke Di. 'Allocate a group of experts to return to Duke Di to dispatch, so as to break through the case in one fell swoop!"

Li Xian still had great trust in Di Renjie's ability to solve cases. Seeing that Di Renjie was willing to go at this time, he was relieved a lot, so he hurriedly gave the order.

"promise!"

"Wei Chen obeys."

Now that Li Xian had given the order, Di Renjie and Zhuang Yong didn't dare to be negligent, they bowed their heads and kept their promises.

"Well, Han Wang has always been good at calligraphy and painting, and the palace has collected some calligraphy treasures of Zhang Xu and Wang Xizhi. Later, he asked Gao Miao to send them to Di Gong's mansion. Li Yaodong and Ye Sheng rushed to Luzhou with my palace's order, and they must save Wang Fangming's life. If there is any obstacle, they can act cheaply, even if it is extreme, it's okay, I will take care of everything!"

Li Xian thought about it, but still felt a little uneasy, so he added two more points.

"No, this subordinate will arrange it now."

The matter was urgent, Zhuang Yong didn't dare to procrastinate, so he got up and planned to arrange various matters quickly.

"Well, Mr. Di, Pei Xingjian is the presiding judge this time. It is not appropriate for me to show up at this time, so I let you go and express my intention. I must take down the jurisdiction of Luzhou to adjudicate the case."

Li Xian waved his hand, signaling Zhuang Yong to back down, then turned his head to look at Di Renjie, and after deliberating for a moment, he gave the order firmly.

"No, my minister obeys!"

Although Di Renjie deeply felt that the Luzhou case was not easy to try, he also knew that there was no way out in this matter, so he didn't dare to delay a little bit, so he hurriedly agreed, and left the study in a hurry, and went to find the case by himself. Pei Xingjian didn't mention power.

"Your Highness, don't forget that Youzhou still has some power available."

After Di and Zhuang left, Zhang Jianzhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly made a point.

"Youzhou? Ah, that's right, hehe, sir, I almost forgot if I didn't say anything, okay, without further ado, I will write a book right now!"

Hearing Zhang Jianzhi's words, Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, then soon came to his senses, clapped his hands happily, and laughed gratifiedly.
