The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 254 Competition in court

Gao Zong has been weak since he was a child and has always liked to get up early. Unless it is a dynasty that can't be avoided, otherwise, he has to sleep until the sun rises. Today is not the morning sun. Naturally, Gao Zong has no desire to get up early. Even if the sun has risen to the old height, Gao Zong still lies on the wide wooden couch and is comfortable. When she fell asleep, the Empress Wu got up earlier. At this time, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and was dressed up by several maids. Although her face was as indifferent as usual, the depths of her eyes were full of worry.

"My Lady, there is news."

Just as the maids of honor were busy, they saw Sun Quanfu, who was sweating, turn out from the screen at the door of the bedroom, quickly walked behind Wu, and whispered, and his tone was full of anxiety.

"All retreat!"

Queen Wu did not look back, but her body trembled obviously. After a moment of silence, she was not in a hurry to ask the news brought by Sun Quanfu, and calmly ordered.

"Yes, the maidservant obeys."

After Queen Wu opened her mouth, the maids of honor who were busy did not dare to neglect at all. They hurriedly answered and bowed out of the room.

"Madam, here's the thing, last night..."

Sun Quanfu did not dare to delay at all. After a group of maids of honor retreated, he hurriedly grabbed the side of the Queen of Wu. Almost in the ear of the Queen of Wu, he reported the news of the failure of last night's assassination and even the trial of Li Xian this morning.

"Oh?"

After listening to Sun Quanfu's report, Queen Wu was not in a hurry to make a decision, but said softly, looked back at Gao Zong, who couldn't sleep soundly, and then pondered for a moment. He stood up, frowned slightly, glanced at Sun Quanfu, and immediately moved to the outer hall, regardless of this faction. How indecent the image of the head is.

"My mother, the person who came is not good. I thought that the case could no longer be tried like this."

Sun Quanfu silently followed behind Wuhou and came to the empty outer hall. After waiting for a long time, he saw that Wuhou never said a word. At that moment, he couldn't stand it and reminded him in a low voice.

"Hmm."

The experience of fighting in the court is extremely rich. How can I not know that the current situation is dangerous, and there is no need for Sun Quanfu to remind me? However, it is not easy to make up my mind. After all, the three kings have joined hands at this time. Even if they are as strong as the Empress Wu, they are deeply afraid of it. In the eyes of the Empress Wu, they want to retreat from fear. It is already difficult. What needs to be considered is how to stop the loss. It is not so simple to stop the loss. Wuhou does not believe that the three kings will stop. If it is really a thousand miles away, the operation of the first half of life will be completely put into the water. In this situation, for the first time, Queen Wu has a sense of powerlessness and is irritable. He was too lazy to talk to Sun Quanfu. After saying something without hesitation, he walked back and forth in the hall.

"Mother, how about the slave first to pass the decree, suspend the trial, and then discuss the follow-up?"

Sun Quanfu didn't make a decision for half a day after seeing Wu. He knew that it would be difficult to do this matter, so he bit his teeth and said again.

"Well, you go for a walk, that is to say, it is the will of my palace. This case is serious, and the evidence must be found out and retrial!" After meditating for a long time, Wu Hou couldn't find a way to get the best of both sides. She had no choice but to agree to Sun Quanfu's proposal.

"Yes, I'm going now!"

Sun Quanfu did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly answered the promise, hurriedly left the hall, and led several eunuchs to the Dali Temple...

In the Dechang Hall of the East Palace, Prince Li Hong, dressed in a formal court uniform, paced back and forth in the front with an anxious face. He looked thoughtful. His Highness stood left and right with dozens of royal courtiers such as Yan Liben and Le Yanwei. Everyone's faces were anxious, and his eyes turned to the outside of the hall from time to time, as if he was looking forward to it. The state.

"Your Highness, the snake has been dispatched and is rushing to Dali Temple!"

Just as a group of people were anxious, they saw Wang Dequan rushing into the hall crazily and couldn't even care about salute. He roared and reported.

"Oh?" Li Hong was stunned when he heard the words. His eyes turned, but he did not make a decision immediately. It seemed that he was still hesitating.

"Your Highness, it's not too late. It's time to start!"

As soon as Yan Liben saw that Li Hong's face was hesitant, he was a little anxious. He hurriedly stood up and urged him.

"Okay, let's start, pass on the life of the orphan, and set up the Dali Temple!"

The matter is really too big. Li Hong is not free. However, under the success of World War I, Li Hong did not hesitate for too long. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He led a group of courtiers straight out of the East Palace and drove to the Dali Temple Yamen by car...

In the court of Dali Temple, Li Xian's old god closed his eyes on the ground. He did not pay attention to the two deputies at the head, nor did he care about the comments of the people outside the hall. He Lanzhiduo, who knelt down in the hall, was full of nourishing his spirit. However, when Lin Chengbin led a group of palace guards to the lobby, Li The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and the murderous spirit flashed in Yiyi's eyes.

"Your Highness, I have brought the account book to you. Please have a look at it!"

Lin Chengbin strode to the hall, holding a thick account book in his hand, bowed to Li Xian and reported loudly.

"Pass it over!"

Li Xianhan ordered in a voice. Lin Chengbin did not dare to neglect at all. He hurried forward a few steps and handed the account book in his hand to Li Xian.

"In the second day of the third year of Xianqing, Hou Shanye sent a bottle of gold Buddha in Dali Temple, which was worth 300 yuan; on the seventh day of the seventh month of the third year of Xianqing, Hou Shanye sent ten pieces of silk, two pieces of ivory carvings and two gold bracelets; in the fourth year of Xianqing, Hou Shanye sent three hundred pieces of money..." Li Xian took the account book in Lin Chengbin's hand and quickly turned it over. Countless, he found the column about the gift given by Hou Shanye. His face was fierce in an instant. He glanced at Hou Shanye coldly and read the subject in a plain tone. Finally, he closed the account book, looked at Hou Shanye coldly, and asked murderously, "Lord Hou, is there any explanation for this, huh? "

"Your Highness, this is a false accusation. There is no bribery for subordinates and subordinates. These are all words of Wu Min. It can't be counted!"

Hou Shanye has been fooling around in the government of Dali Temple since he entered his official career. It can be said that he has been trying cases for half his life. How could he not know the lethality of this account book? At this time, how can he easily submit and deny it without hesitation?

"Oh? Really? Wu Minzhi, Lord Hou said that you were framed. What can you say?

Li Xian was not in a hurry to refute Hou Shanye's defense, but whispered, looked at the proud Wu Minzhi, and asked indifferently.

"Your Highness, Mingjian, someone is already waiting to die. What's the advantage of framing Lord Hou? In addition, this account book is true or false. Find a work to identify it. If you don't know whether it's true or false, hey, why bother too much." He Lanmin made a grimace indifferently and replied with a smile.

"Well, come on, it's rumored that Luoyang Mansion is in court!"

Li Xian ignored He Lanmin's presumptuousness. He was shocked and shouted loudly.

"Your Highness, wait."

As soon as Li Xian's words fell, Liu Yizhi couldn't sit still and hurriedly said something.

"What? Does Lord Liu have any objection to my order? Li Xian crossed Liu Yi's eyes and scolded him rudely.

"How dare you, how dare you? The subordinate just thinks that this matter is serious. When he is involved in the trial, he must have a holy order in the end. The subordinate thinks that it is not necessary to suspend the trial of the case, and wait for His Majesty to make a decision?" Seeing Li Xian's gloomy face, Liu Yi's heart couldn't help trembling, but he refused to give up the last hope of saving the Queen Wu Party, which explained with a smile.

"Since I have been ordered to investigate the case, I should have the right to decide. Could it be that Lord Liu wants to replace him?"

Li Xian didn't leave a face for Liu Yizhi at all, and scolded in a cold voice.

"The subordinates dare not. However, the court has its own law. It seems that such matters involve the presiding judge should be taken away by the holy order. Please think twice!" By now, Liu Yizhi had no way out. Even if his feet were shivering by the murderous spirit of Li Xian, he still said strongly against Li Xian.

"Is Lord Liu deceiving me that I don't understand the Law of the Tang Dynasty? Hey, what a court law. Dare to ask Lord Liu, is this case the presiding judge, or Lord Liu the presiding judge, or Lord Hou presiding, huh?" Li Xian has not been in vain over the years. In order to deal with the fierce Wu Hou, he has studied the law a lot. Not to mention the Law of the Tang Dynasty, it is at least familiar with it. At this time, as soon as he heard Liu Yi's opening his mouth and closing his mouth, it was the law of the court. It was simply playing with an axe in the class gate, and it was a burst of fire at that time, which sneered. With a sigh, he asked without any understanding.

"This, this, this..."

Although Liu Yizhi himself has also been familiar with the Law of the Tang Dynasty, he is far from Li Xian in terms of familiarity. At this time, as soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he was completely panicked and stammered.

"Make way, get out of the way. The Queen has a word of mouth, and you won't retreat!"

Just as Liu Yizhi was stunned and didn't know how to respond to Li Xian's question, there was a sudden chaos in the mouth of the hall, and a shrill voice kept roaring.

"Your Highness, the Empress has an oracle. Do you think you will take the order first and then review it?"

Liu Yizhi was in a panic. Suddenly, he heard the voice in the mouth of the hall very familiar, and his heart was calm, so he hurried to make a suggestion.

It's so fast. I'll go. The prince's food is not enough! Li Xian's ear power is very good. As soon as he heard it, he heard that the person was Sun Quanfu, and his heart couldn't help sinking...
