Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 787

"So that Lord Di can know that although this king has never witnessed this incident with his own eyes, he has visited many injured soldiers of the Habayashi Army, and what he has said is all based on the truth. I wonder if Lord Di has any doubts?"

After all, Li Zhen is not a simple person, with just one thought, she has already faintly seen through the possible ambush behind Di Renjie's question, rolled her eyes slightly, and gave a clear answer with a smile.

There is indeed an ambush hidden in Di Renjie's first question. If King Yue's answer is only heard, then what awaits King Yue next is a question that is difficult for King Yue to parry. All other officials, including Zaifu, do not have this authority. As long as Di Renjie raises this point, it will be enough to prevent King Yue from stepping down. As for the so-called impeachment case, there will naturally be no further details. He wasn't fooled, and his answer was very cautious, and he didn't give Di Renjie anything to say.

"His Highness the King of Yue is indeed a caring person. I have been educated, but I don't know if His Highness the King of Yue visited those soldiers. Who are their names? Could you tell the lower officials?"

Although the king of Yue responded very decently, Di Renjie didn't feel disappointed, because he knew very well that the king of Yue was a treacherous and cunning king, and if he didn't use some strong medicine, it would be very difficult to catch the opponent's weakness.

"Naturally, I have more than [-] written statements of Habayashi Army officers and men here. If Master Di needs it, he can verify one or two by himself."

The king of Yue dared to impeach Li Xian in court, so he came prepared. Even when faced with Di Renjie's tricky questions, he was not at all confused. He stretched out his hand and took out a stack of documents from his wide sleeve, and pointed at him. Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and replied confidently.

"Oh? The next official should see a thing or two."

Di Renjie raised his brows, as if he didn't quite believe what King Yue said, but he didn't question it directly, but proposed to read the so-called confession text.

"Master Di, please take a look."

Originally, Li Zhen just wanted to declare the legitimacy of her impeachment proposal in text, and did not intend to actually hand over these documents to Di Renjie. Maybe he had to bite the bullet and stepped forward a few steps, and handed the stack of documents to Di Renjie's hand.

"Well, these confessions can be considered exhaustive, but I don't know which ones were interrogated by His Royal Highness the King of Yue himself?"

Di Renjie unceremoniously took the stack of papers handed over by Li Zhen, went through it carefully and quickly, and then asked a question with a solemn expression.

"I have personally asked all those who are above team leader. If Lord Di doesn't believe you, you can go and check it yourself."

Hearing Di Renjie's question like this, Li Zhen's heart sank involuntarily, not for any other reason, but because although he had prepared all these materials, they were all handed over by Pei Shoude, but he himself had never touched them. Those so-called witnesses, now being pinned down by Di Renjie, couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but the city was so deep that they didn't show any flaws, and the confidence in their words didn't diminish in the slightest.

"Okay, I will ask the prince a question. There is Dong Zhong, the leader of the third team of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion. I think the prince has seen him before. I don't know how tall this person is, so what if he is fat or thin?"

Li Zhen responded so confidently, if it were someone else, I'm afraid he would be fooled by him. After all, this is the imperial court. Without certainty, who would dare to entangle Li Zhen, the majestic prince and minister? Master Fu, if you fail to ask Li Zhen down, the end will definitely not be so good. It is a pity that Li Zhen met Di Renjie who is such a master at solving crimes. In addition, he already has a plan in his heart, so how could he be easily defeated by Li Zhen? He flickered away, no, just as Li Zhen finished speaking, Di Renjie was in a hurry and began to question him.

"This……"

When asked by Di Renjie, Li Zhen immediately went blind. There was nothing he could do. He had never seen this so-called Tiger and Leopard Battalion [-]rd team leader before, so how could he answer the opponent's appearance? But he was also worried that Di Renjie really recognized this person. If he got the wrong answer, it would be so much fun. Poor Li Zhen hesitated for a while, but didn't dare to say why.

"Master Di, what do you mean by this? Why are you entangled in such trivial matters? Could it be that there is a ghost in your heart?"

Li Chong was already impatient, but when he saw that his father was sweating on his forehead when he was questioned, he immediately became angry. He rushed to Li Zhen's side in a few strides, pointed at Di Renjie angrily, and fought back angrily. One sentence.

"Why did Mr. Li say that? Di was only asking His Highness the King of Yue for advice, so why bother him? Since His Highness the King of Yue recorded the confession himself, shouldn't he not even remember who made the confession?"

Di Renjie didn't care about Li Chong's evil deeds and looks at all, he spread his hands and asked in surprise.

"you……"

As soon as Li Chong got angry, he completely forgot that this place was an important place for the court, and with one opening of his mouth, nonsense was about to come out.

"Humph!"

Before Li Chong's scolding could come out, Li Xian, who was sitting indifferently under the front bench, had already let out a cold snort. To others, this snort wasn't very loud, but for Li Xian who was overwhelmed by anger, Li Chong, who was locked, said, but it was like a heavy drum sounded in his ears, his whole body trembled involuntarily, and he couldn't speak any more when he reached his mouth.

"His Royal Highness, please. If you really can't remember Dong Zhongzhi's appearance, it's okay. I'll replace him with another person. Well, there is a regular procedure of the fourth team of the Tiangang Battalion. You must have an impression?"

Although Di Renjie wondered why the furious Li Chong suddenly lost control, he didn't go into the reason why. He looked at Li Zhen and asked persistently.

This time Li Zhen was completely dumbfounded by the question. Who made him talk too much before, so there is no need to care about it now. On the body of Empress Wu, I count on Empress Wu to speak out to help her out.

"Cough cough."

The reason why Empress Wu blatantly launched the impeachment against Li Xian this time is of course her own considerations, but it is not one of them to bring down Li Xian in one fell swoop. Empress Wu has already done this, so why wait until now, of course, it's okay to try the possibility, but she never thought that the prince's side only dispatched a Di Renjie, and the whole good situation was messed up. It's a pot of porridge, seeing that the King of Yue has been questioned at this moment, it is inevitable to feel lost in her heart, but she still has to use Li Zhen at the moment, even if she is reluctant, she can only try her best, so she fake coughed twice, and put All the courtiers' attention was attracted.

Although Empress Wu relieved Li Zhen with a fake cough, she didn't want to give up her attempt to bring down Li Xian in one fell swoop, so she refused to speak easily to expose the matter, so she quietly gave Liu Yizhi a look , to signal him to stand up and fight Di Renjie.

"I want to report to your lord, I think that Di Si Nong is obsessed with minor details, and there is a suspicion of confusing right and wrong. He has ulterior motives and should be investigated!"

Liu Yizhi acted under the secret orders of Empress Wu several times, but he failed to gain anything. Now he is a marginalized figure in the Empress Wu group, but he is too deeply involved in the Empress Party, and he can't do it at all. He escaped, and although he joined the crowd to impeach Li Xian this time, he actually didn't act too violently, he just followed the crowd, but he didn't expect that he was so low-key, yet he was still being impeached by Empress Wu. In the choice, I can't help but feel a little bitter in my heart, but I don't have the guts to act against my orders. In desperation, I can only bite the bullet and stand up, speaking loudly.

"Your Majesty, I think that Master Liu's words are wrong. The Prince of Yue blatantly impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and vowed to hold the real evidence. How could he be afraid of testing? If so, I would like to ask Master Liu, what are you doing? To impeach His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Others were afraid of empress Wu's ruthlessness, but Di Renjie didn't care at all, and didn't save Liu Yizhi any face, so he asked straightforward questions.

Liu Yizhi stood up unprepared, who would have expected Di Renjie to ignore Empress Wu's threatening gaze and insist on burning the flames of war on him, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

"Mistress Qizuo, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. He has always been virtuous and capable, and all the subjects of the world will support him. Now, the King of Yue, Li Zhen, dares to slander His Highness the Crown Prince with untrue things. It is really a treasonous act. If you don't pursue it, how can you convince the people? My minister proposes that we should investigate its sinister intentions in order to put the people in the world at ease!"

Di Renjie didn't intend to entangle with the party members indiscriminately, and he only identified Li Zhen, the initiator of the impeachment case, and persisted, and the label of "big treason" was unceremoniously put on him.

"Xian'er, what do you think of Master Di's proposal?"

Seeing that Di Renjie could not be subdued, Empress Wu's complexion suddenly became a little ugly, but quickly returned to normal. She turned her head to look at Li Xian who was sitting still, and asked with a half-smile.

Heh, the old villain still doesn't give up at this time!
Li Xian saw through the intention of Empress Wu's question at a glance. He just didn't want Li Xian to stay out of the matter. He couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he didn't bother to talk to Empress Wu. He just got up and saluted, and then fell silent. He sat down again, without saying a word.

"Om..."

Seeing Li Xian get up, all the ministers and workers thought it would be the beginning of another fierce debate, but they didn't expect Li Xian to come to Cao Ying with Xu Shu. For no reason, the voice of private discussion suddenly became louder stand up.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Li Xian couldn't be trapped even after several set ups, Empress Wu knew that the impeachment case might not have a good result. Li Xian took a big bite. This was not a situation that Empress Wu would like to see. In view of this, Empress Wu pretended to be angry and gave a cold snort. Without further words, she got up and walked towards the apse.

"Retreat!"

Seeing that Empress Wu had left, Cheng Denggao, who was waiting on the front wall, did not dare to neglect, roared at the top of his voice, and immediately led a group of eunuchs and court ladies to chase after Empress Wu. , I didn't dare to stay any longer, and they all dispersed in a chaotic manner. A large-scale impeachment case of the prince came to an end in such an anticlimactic manner.
