Chapter 640 Fighting
The opinions of the ministers and workers are not because Wu Chengsi's chapter is not detailed. On the contrary, it is that this chapter is too detailed. From witness testimony to evidence, there is almost no shortage of evidence. It can be said that there is a mountain of iron evidence, and it is difficult to be very picky. The power of such fraud is really amazing. A group of ministers When we were surprised and suspicious, we couldn't help but secretly sweat for Li Xian, who might come out to fight back. There is no doubt that it is really too difficult for this case to be turned over.
overturn the case? Of course not! If Li Xian really wants to, the case will not be turned over, but this is not in line with Li Xian's strategic intention. Otherwise, he would not have given up the power of the presiding judge regardless of Gao Zong's sad eyes at the beginning. In addition to the limited energy and it is difficult to take care of the case at the same time as disaster relief, it is more important. It is Li Xian's lack of strength in the court, and there is no time to fight head-on with the Empress Wu. He simply let go and let the Empress Wu to toss around. It was not his people and horses of Li Xian who sacrificed left and right. It is better to die whoever he loves to die. As for Li Xian's unjust death, although Li Xian regrets it, he has to sit and watch it cruelly. Of course, it is time to fight. You still have to compete for it. For nothing else, you have to show it to Gao Zong. However, this competition also depends on the timing. Li Xian did not intend to open the first cannon. Even if he had clearly felt the eager eyes of Gao Zong behind him, Li Xian pretended not to be aware of it, and the old god was sitting on the brocade on the ground. .
"What Wu Aiqing said, I already know that all the ministers and workers have anything to discuss about this?"
Gao Zong waited for a long time. Seeing that Li Xian had never meant to stand up, he was inevitably disappointed. However, he was bound to keep silent for a long time. In desperation, he had no choice but to push the problem to the ministers who were talking nonsense, but unexpectedly, it was okay for him not to say this. After saying it, he was indiscriminately. The voice immediately stopped, and everyone became wood-carved clay sculptures. Obviously, no one wanted to make a casual statement on this matter.
"What? Are you all dumb? Well, isn't it quite possible to say it? Why don't you say it?"
Gao Zong waited for a long time, but no one was willing to stand up to defend Li Xian. His anger immediately surged up. His face was so ugly that he slapped the dragon case and scolded angrily.
said? Who dares to talk nonsense and say that Li Xian should be killed? Isn't that going to touch Gao Zong's eyebrows? As for Li Xian, he should not be killed, but he had to be hated by Wu Hou. He couldn't say anything left and right. All the courtiers were not fools. They were silent. No matter how fierce Gao Zong scolded him, the big guys turned a deaf ear and pretended to be a wooden man without saying anything.
"Xian'er, what should I do with this case?"
Gao Zong waited left and right, but he didn't see anyone willing to stand up. In a hurry, he called Li Xian's name regardless.
Oh, the old man is in a hurry to go to the doctor! As soon as he heard that Gao Zong called his name, Li Xian inevitably muttered a little in his heart, but it was really not a good thing for Li Xian to stand up. If the initiative was handed over to the Wuhou, the problem was that the old man's name had been clicked. Obviously, it was impossible for Li Xian to keep silent again. No matter what, he had to stand up. It's been a while.
"I reported to my father, Erchen thought that the trial score of Wu Shangshu's case was clear, and the sentencing was reasonable. In this case itself, my son did not have much objection."
Li Xian did not intend to reverse the case, and he would not easily deny Wu Chengsi's "merit" in handling the case, so he replied sincerely.
"Hum..."
As soon as Li Xian's voice fell, the wooden ministers coaxed again. Obviously, Li Xian's answer was a little unexpected. In the eyes of the ministers, Gao Zong called Li Xian to come forward at this time in order to ask Li Xian to fight with Wu Chengsi, so as to leave some foreshadowing for Gao Zong's decision. However, they didn't expect that Li Xian would completely confirm the result of Wu Chengsi's trial. In this way, Gao Zong's efforts would have to be in the air.
"Ah, huh?"
Not to mention the surprise of the ministers, even Gao Zong was a little dumbfounded. He looked at Li Xian dullly and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Remuch, I have a doubt that I can't understand. I want to ask Wu Shangshu for advice, and I hope my father's approval."
Li Xian paused and let the ministers discuss for a while before he continued to report slowly.
"Yes, if you have any questions, just ask."
Hearing Li Xian's words, Gao Zong's mood immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and his spirit was suddenly refreshed. Without hesitation, he agreed to Li Xianzhi's request.
"Thank you, Father!" After Li Xian respectfully thanked him for his kindness, he turned around and looked at Wu Chengsi, who was standing diagonally below. He asked with a smile, "Wu Shangshu, please. What I want to ask is that the king of Jiangling is far away from Jiangling. How can he attack the granary within a day? In what is the way of this information interaction? Is it telepathic? Please give me some advice!"
"Your Highness misunderstood. Weichen only said that the prince of Jiangling was behind the scenes, but he did not say that he was the mastermind. In fact, according to Weichen's judgment, when the prince of Jiangling left the eastern capital, there was a secret order in front of the former military officer of the crime, so that he could find an opportunity to mess up our court, in order to vent his resentment of being deposed. This granary was The attack was caused by the planning and organization of Lu Qian. However, it can be traced back to the origin, but the root is on the abolition of the prince Li Xian, who is guilty of his mastermind. There is no mistake. Please ask His Royal Highness to understand.
Wu Chengsi dares to come forward to fight the imperial lawsuit. Naturally, he has already made full preparations. Although Li Xian's question is extremely tricky, his answer is watertight, which seems impeccable in reason.
"As Wu Shangshu said, the prince of Jiangling actually knew nothing about the attack on the granary. Is this palace wrong?"
Li Xian himself is a master of a case. He will not be confused by Wu Chengsi's seemingly reasonable truth that he can't stand scrutiny at all. He asked impatiently.
"This... should be like this. However, Weichen has explained that what Lu Qian did was caused by the secret order of the king of Jiangling. According to the criminal law, the prince of Jiangling can't escape the determination of the mastermind. This is an indisputable fact. It is not that Weichen oversteps the law!"
As soon as he heard Li Xian's question, Wu Chengsi's heart suddenly surged up with a burst of uneasiness, but he refused to be soft verbally. Biting Li Xian to death was the behind-the-scenes black hand.
"There is a hard work for Wu Shangshu." Li Xian did not ask any further questions, but thanked him faintly. Even if he turned around again, he turned to Gao Zong and his wife, bowed down and said, "After my father and mother, I thought that although the sixth brother was implicated in this case, he was not the mastermind. When the sixth brother left the court sadly, he may have some complaints, but there was no intention of chaos. As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional. Listening to it, Lu Qian and others used to be attached to the sixth brother. They want to follow the merits of the dragon and take the momentary angry words as a secret order. Only then can there be this night of great rebellion. His sin should be killed. The children and ministers have no objection to this, but the sixth brother are implicated by the villain. Although they have done it, they are not guilty to death. The children are willing to invite their father. , Mother's clear inspection!"
"It's ridiculous. According to you, if the master commits a crime, just push it to the slave, and it will be safe, huh?"
What Li Xian said was reasonable. When Gao Zong heard it, he was overjoyed. He opened his mouth and planned to follow Li Xian's words. However, without waiting for him to open his mouth, the Empress Wu beside him had already spoken first and politely scolded Li Xian. Unexpectedly, he did not leave any face for Li Xian.
"The mother is clear that the minister did not get rid of the crime for the sixth brother. He only said the truth. The truth is that the sixth brother did not know anything about the attack of the granary. The subordinates did nonsense. The sixth brother really did something carelessly, and he also had the responsibility of being strict. However, the mastermind said that the son thought it was not appropriate, and he should be punished with the involvement. This son's minister's If you look at it, please ask your father and mother to observe it clearly.
Under the fierce anger of Empress Wu, the aura was so great that the ministers were shocked, but Li Xian did not have a special reaction. He just bowed down modestly and explained it peacefully.
"Well, that's what I think. It suits me very well!"
Gao Zong just fell half a step behind and was preempted by the Empress Wu. This time, he was full of energy. Before Li Xian's voice fell, he was already high-five and very excited to make a conclusion.
"Father Shengming!"
Li Xian has already said what he should say, and Li Xian didn't want to pay more attention to the rest of the things. He rushed to praise and retreated to Jindunzi. He sat down with the hem of the imperial suit and didn't intend to say more.
"Your Majesty, Sheng Ming, my concubine thinks that she has committed this crime. Cheng Si, you are the main judge, and you should judge the crime according to the law. Now that the crimes of the prince of Jiangling have been determined, then you will give a judgment."
Queen Wu's heart to kill Li Xian is very strong. Not only because she has always hated Li Xian, but also because of the consideration of clearing the obstacles for the future seizure of power, she will not give up. Following Gao Zong's words, she also praised him. Even in an unquestionable tone, she handed over the power of condemnation to Wu Chengsi.
"No, Weichen obeys the order!" Since the Empress Wu had already let go of her words, Wu Chengsi did not dare to neglect it. She thanked him knowingly, and then pretended to think about it a little. Then, she raised her eyebrows and reported loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Tianhou Niang, according to the law system of the Tang Dynasty, the prince of Jiangling should be punished for three thousand miles. However, it was originally rebellious. In the past, I have committed a crime again today. Several crimes should be punished. In addition, the three treasures should be given to clear the canon, and I beg your majesty and the holy judge!"
"Hum..."
As soon as Wu Chengsi said this, the courtiers couldn't help but coax again. Obviously, there was a lot of controversy about this sentence. However, everyone discussed it, but it was all private. No one dared to stand up and express his attitude. Even Li Xian sat still this time. As for Gao Zong's face, it collapsed in an instant...
