Chapter 349 Strive for Reason
"Your Majesty is angry. I think that there may be something wrong with this matter. In the end, it's not too late to make a final agreement after asking the general first."
Although the harem is under control everywhere, Empress Wu is not afraid that Gao Zong can find out how famous it is by such an edict, but she never wants to cause too much noise. Therefore, even if Gao Zong is angry at this time, Queen Wu still forcibly interrupted.
"Hmm?"
Gao Zong was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Queen Wu's words, but he still didn't have the courage to be angry with Queen Wu. He just said a voice from his nostrils with a black face.
"Your Majesty, the former sage has a saying: if you listen at the same time, it will be clear, but if you listen, it will be dark. My concubine thought that Si Yan was very good. Previously, it was all said by Xian'er. In the end, I still have to listen to the explanation of this king's judgment. If the two correspond, I may be able to get the truth. This minister's concubine's shallow opinion, please ask your majesty to judge!" After all, the Empress Wu is the Empress Wu. Although it is a sophistry, it is also very reasonable, and it is impossible for Gao Zong not to obey.
"Well, then ask again, Wang Ben, and then tell the truth in detail. If there is a lie, I will definitely forgive you!"
Gao Zong was afraid of his people. Even if he was extremely upset, he still didn't have the courage to turn his face with Queen Wu. After walking back and forth in the room with a black face for a few steps, he angrily pointed to Wang Fen, who was paralyzed on the ground, and drank angrily.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Hearing Gao Zong's words, Wang Bian wanted to open his mouth and defend himself, but his jawbone was unloaded by Li Xian. He was anxious, but he couldn't say a word. Although he blushed, he just made a series of meaningless babblings. How embarrassed it was to say how embarrassed it was.
"Kka Da!"
As soon as he saw Wang Bian's appearance, Gao Zong's eyebrows stood up. He wanted to laugh but felt that it was not appropriate. It was hard to suffocate. Seeing this, Li Xian secretly happy, bent down, grabbed Wang Bian's jawbone with one hand, and twisted it gently, but after hearing a muffled sound, Wang Bian's jawbone was back to its original position.
"Oh, Your Majesty, the old slave is wronged, the old slave is wronged, the old slave has never killed anyone, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the slave, Your Majesty..."
Wang Ben only felt a pain in his jaw, and involuntarily shouted bitterly. He immediately found that he could speak and hurriedly shouted for injustice.
"That's enough, make it clear to me. You have done some things, say!"
Gao Zong was still listening patiently, but when he saw Wang Ben there, he just shouted injustice over and over again, but there was no useful word. At that time, there was a burst of boss's impatience. He waved his hand, interrupted Wang Ben's nonsense, and shouted coldly.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, the maidservant said, that the maidservant was really wronged. When the maidservant found the Cui Yuan, it was really hanging. The maidservant really didn't know how it died. Your Majesty, the maidservant was wronged..."
When his life was at stake, Wang Ben would naturally not easily plead guilty. Besides, with the previous hint of Queen Wu, it was even more impossible for him to be soft at this time and insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Suspended beam? Hey, who hung it up and said!"
With Li Xian's previous explanation, Gao Zong did not believe Cui Yuan's suicide, nor did he believe that Wang Bian was really innocent. Hearing this, Wang Bian's excuse was completely, and his anger immediately surged up again. He stared at Wang Ben fiercely and asked unrelentlessly.
"Your Majesty is angry, I don't know, I really don't know, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Gao Zong's voice was fierce, and Wang Ben couldn't help but panicked, but he would never admit it. He just blindly said that he didn't know the truth, and Xitu muddled through.
"Father, my son and minister think that human life is a matter of heaven, and he must be interrogated. No matter how treacherous he is, he must be able to escape the law when he comes to Dali Temple. Today, this case is related to the reputation of the eighth brother. He should be more willing to be tried. He proposed to transfer this case to Dali Temple to find out the truth!"
Although he knew that the Empress Wu would have the means to press the case, Li Xian did not intend to make the Empress Wu better. At this sight of Gao Zong's black face, he immediately inserted a sentence from the side and seized the opportunity to pour fuel on the fire.
"Well, I..."
Gao Zong obviously didn't have the patience to talk a lot of nonsense with a eunuch. When he heard Li Xian's words, he felt very appetizing. With his mouth open, he wanted to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, this matter involves the court lady. It's not too good to spread it. There is no place for people to see the jokes of my heavenly family. According to the opinion of my concubine, it seems safer to be tried by the internal servant and the provincial trial."
In the past, with the sharp weapon of Dali Temple in her hand, the Empress Wu was willing to send the case to Dali Temple. But now, today's Dali Temple is no longer under the control of Queen Wu. Naturally, she refused to do so. At this time, Emperor Gaozong wanted to issue an order and did not dare to hesitate a little, so she interrupted first.
"To report to my father and emperor, I thought that what my mother said was very true. I really went to Dali Temple. No matter how I tried, it would eventually hurt the face of the eighth brother. In my opinion, it is better to be cautious about this matter."
In the past, when he was in front of the emperor, Li Xian always looked at Li Xian's head, but since he ascended to the throne, Li Xian has become the primary target of Li Xian's primary target. This is the so-called buttocks determine his head. Seeing that Li Xian has cracked such an important case in a short period of time, Li Xian's heart inevitably has a sour taste and refuses to sit down. He regarded Li Xianzhen as a matter, which echoed Wu Hou's words.
"Well..." After Gao Zong was angry, the old problem of not having a big opinion was committed again. When he saw that the mother and son had different opinions, Gao Zong didn't know who to listen to for a moment. After pondered for a moment, he still failed to make a decision. Finally, he turned his eyes to Li Zhen, the king of Yue, who was always sitting silently beside him, and hesitated. He said, "What does the eighth brother think about this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I think this case is indeed a trial. As for where the trial is, it is not a big problem. Only for your majesty's self-determination, I have no objection."
Seeing the confrontation between the strong Empress Wu and the equally strong Li Xian, Li Zhen did not want to participate in it blindly. After all, as far as the current imperial power is concerned, Li Zhen is the weakest party. Mingzhe protection is the way to survive. At least before he sees the general trend, he doesn't want to easily change the left and right. Yuan's strategy, when hearing Gao Zong's question, Li Zhen immediately sat down and made a serious look, but when he said it, it was still the way to push the Tai Chi.
Old fox!
As soon as Li Zhen said this, the same three words appeared in the hearts of Empress Wu, Li Xian and Li Xian at the same time. However, no one said more, but stared at Gao Zong and waited for Gao Zong's judgment.
"In that case, it's better to hand it over to the internal servant for review, Cheng Denggao!"
Gao Zong's eyes glanced back and forth between Queen Wu, Li Xian and Li Xian. He frowned uncertainly. After meditating for a moment, he finally listened to Queen Wu's advice. Without waiting for Li Xian's objection, he gave a drink.
"I'm there!"
Cheng Denggao had been listening to his ears for a long time. Hearing Gao Zong's words, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly answered loudly.
"I will pass on my will. This case has been handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for careful examination. I am waiting for a reply. The time limit is three days, and there must be no mistake!" Gao Zongshua waved his hand generously, even if he made the will in an unquestionable tone.
"No!"
As soon as he heard that the trial fell to his own hand, Cheng Denggao's hanging heart immediately fell to the ground. He simply responded to the promise and powerfully. As soon as he brushed the dust, several eunuchs rushed forward. The two set up the paralyzed Wang Ben. One pulled Liu Liu, who was dumbfounded, and hurriedly went out.
"Your Majesty, the maidservant is wronged, maidservant..."
Although Liu Liu didn't understand what kind of play the heavenly people in the room were singing, he knew that once he was pulled out, the end would not be decided. He was suddenly anxious. He pushed up with the little eunuch who came to drag, while shouting the injustice.
"Wait!"
With a high purpose, Li Xian knew that the matter would be covered up. Although it had been expected for a long time, he was still unhappy for a long time. When he saw Liu Liu struggling there, his unhappiness had reached a critical point. Then he stood up and waved his hand and bounced the little eunuch who dragged Liu Liu. On the side.
"Presumptuous, does Xian'er want to resist the order and not obey it?"
As soon as she saw Li Xian take action, Queen Wu's face immediately sank down, and her eyebrows fell down and shouted.
"The mother is angry, and my son dares not be rude and illegal. However, my son has something to say. Please ask my father!"
The left and right have already torn their faces. Li Xian did not care about the anger of Wu Hou. He replied without exaggeration or humility. Even if he turned his eyes to Gao Zong, he said in a high-spirited manner.
"Xian'er has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it. I'll just listen to it."
Gao Zong was just weak and cowardly, but he was not stupid. He knew that some of his decision was not good for Li Xian. He was quite guilty. He couldn't let Li Xian speak, so he gently waved his hand and agreed to Li Xian's request.
"Father Mingjian, no matter how this case is tried, it is an indisputable fact that the eighth brother was wronged. How can it be detained in Ningxin Hall for a long time? Moreover, in order to investigate this case, my son promised to protect the safety of this Liu girl earlier. Now the eighth brother's injustice has been clear. The person who framed the eighth brother is nothing more than that Liu Liu is not involved. There is no need to arrest him. I beg my father to release the eighth brother and allow Miss Liu Liu to continue to serve the eighth brother!"
Li Xian can not investigate who was framed by Li Xulun, but he can't tolerate Queen Wu to make more trouble in this case, which makes extremely tough demands.
"The seventh brother's words are big, and the case has not been tried. How can it be said that there is still something wrong with the eighth brother's behavior..."
Li Xian did not want Li Xulun, the younger brother, to continue to stay in the imperial city, let alone Li Xulun to turn to Li Xian's side, so he falsely refuted Li Xian.
"Why did the prince say this? You should know that the eighth brother is the younger brother of you and my direct relatives. It is extremely wronged that he has been wronged. How can we wait for the elder brother to sit back and watch him suffer more!"
Li Xian no longer planned to cooperate with such an ungrateful person as Li Xian. As soon as he heard his delusions, he would not leave the slightest face for him, so he rudely interrupted Li Xian's words.
"You, you..."
Li Xian never thought that Li Xian would not leave a face for himself in front of the imperial palace. At that time, he was choked and blushed. When he wanted to refute Li Xian's words, he didn't know where to refute it. He was so anxious that his eyes rolled around...
