The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 679 Big Waves

The matter of political disputes is false and real, and it is the best policy to make people uncertain. Li Xian knows this truth in his heart. In the face of the full recommendation of the party of the Empress Wu, Li Xian did not dare to ignore it. While a group of descendants were adjudicating, his brain rushed to work. Come on - is the party's move really to push this problem over, or is it a trick to be captured? Can this case be taken over or not?

How did Ming Chongyan die? Li Xian has the most say in this question. If he really gets the case in his hands, if he can't come up with a convincing answer within the specified time, he will face the endless attack of the Queen Wu, and the pressure will be invisibly borne by Li Xian himself. Over the years. The unfavorable image that has been set up is bound to be smeared out. If it is a fake case, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be exposed, and the consequences are also unbearable. However, Li Xian is not very worried about putting the power of trial in the hands of the party, just because those guys are doing a little bit. There is no bottom line, and there is no fake case. Obviously, this is not the situation that Li Xianle's opinion is about. What's more troublesome is that once Li Xian refuses to be the chief judge, if he wants to express his opinion on this matter later, there will obviously be some obstacles.

"When I reported to my father and mother, I also thought that it was reasonable to check the prescription quickly and strictly for this case. My mother and all the ministers treated my ministers so well. I should have been panicked and obeyed. However, my son had difficulties. Please forgive me."

Living people will not be suffoed to death. With Li Xian's intelligent calculation ability, he has quickly figured out all the advantages and disadvantages. When Wu Hou asked questions, he already had a right idea, so he stood up in a hurry, bowed deeply, and thanked apologetically.

"Puffering? If you have a lot of trouble, you might as well talk to your mother.

Hearing that Li Xian really refused the responsibility of the chief judge, Queen Wu's eyes immediately became sharp, stared at Li Xian with a smile, and asked relentlessly.

"Mother Queen Mingjian, the son and the doctor of Ming have a feud, and the relationship is not good with each other. In the eyes of some people, I'm afraid that the son is also suspected of committing a crime. If the child is ordered to thoroughly investigate the case, it is difficult to convince the public no matter what the case is. Therefore, the child does not dare to do this, and he can't do it!"

The meaning of Wu Hou's questioning was extremely strong. A group of ministers close to Li Xian couldn't help sweating secretly, but Li Xian answered calmly and slowly.

"Hum..."

The assassination of the court minister was a death crime of rebellion. Others avoided it, but Li Xian was so frank that he admitted that he was suspected. As soon as these words came out, he was shocked and the sound of chaos suddenly rose. Even if the Empress Wu even pressed several times, he could not stop the promiscuous words of the courtiers.

"Sing down!"

Seeing that the ministers were so unruly noisy, Gao Zong, who sat silently, couldn't help but get angry and couldn't help drinking, which shocked all the ministers.

"Where was Xian'er last night?"

Gao Zong is not as tolerant as the Empress Wu. If he has doubts in his heart, he often can't hold it back. Regardless of whether the occasion is right or not, he directly pursues Li Xian.

"Father Mingjian, my son and minister were ordered to host the Chengtianmen banquet yesterday. Because of his excitement, he couldn't help but drink too much wine. Before he returned to the palace, he was already drunk. At this day, around three quarters and about three o'clock, when Eunuch Cheng came to preach the decree, the son and minister was awakened and slept like mud all night. I don't know where I am at all.

Li Xian, Gao Zong's nature, was very clear. He had long expected that Gao Zong would have doubts about himself under the flirtation of the Queen of Wu. He had already thought about the countermeasures. At this time, when he saw Gao Zong, he couldn't help jumping out and didn't care about it. He pretended to be full of aggrieved look and explained with a bitter face. .

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank nearly five altars yesterday and was drunk before returning to the palace. This is not only witnessed by Weichen, but also witnessed by all the ministers present."

Seeing Gao Zong forcing the prince on the spot, Hao Chujun, who had always been upright, immediately couldn't stand it. He stood up and reported loudly.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister is also a witness, which can be proved!"

Although Pei Xingjian is not a person of Li Xian's family, he is still inclined to Li Xian in his heart. In addition, he is extremely disgusted with Ming Chongyan's words to deceive Gao Zong every time. Subconsciously, he did not want Li Xian to be "wrenched", so he also stood aside and supported Li Xian in a high-profile way.

"Your Majesty, the old minister can also testify!"

"Your Majesty, Your Highness was really drunk last night, and we can prove it!"

......

With the lead of the two prime ministers, a group of courtiers followed up one after another, and the sound of resonated one after another.

"Well, I can believe the words of the public, and I just ask casually. You don't have to pay attention to it."

Gao Zong is not a person of great opinion. The reason why he was suspicious of Li Xian before was that the Empress of Wu was provoking behind his back. At this time, when he saw that the ministers were supporting Li Xian, his heart was a little weak. There was no intention to pursue him. He hurriedly explained awkwardly.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing that Gao Zong had changed his mouth, the courtiers did not dare to force it, so they could only praise each other and return to their original position.

"Don't be more careful. I'm also for your innocence, but now your suspicion is gone. Is this case still handed over to you, so I can rest assured."

Being tossed by the ministers, Gao Zong's doubts about Li Xian have been basically resolved, so he intends to appease Li Xian's injured heart with the right of trial.

"My father loves me, and I admire my son. However, I still can't do this. In addition to the suspicion of Li Xia in the melon field, the Battle of Persia is about to begin, and the logistics is cumbersome. I don't dare to be distracted. Please forgive me."

Li Xian can understand Gao Zong's kindness, but he understands it. Li Xian did not intend to pull such a hot potato into his arms, and quickly refused.

"Well, the Persian war is about to start, and you have to do more. It's okay for Xian'er not to try this case, but the case is serious. In the end, there must be a competent minister to do it. I don't know who Xian'er is?"

Although Gao Zong is weak and cowardly, he is a rare and resolute among the ancient emperors in external use of troops, and he is always complaken for his great martial arts. When he heard that Li Xian mentioned the Persian war, he did not want Li Xian to be distracted by this case and cause a loss in the war situation, but he felt that he had previously suspected that Li Xian's behavior in court was quite excessive. He was in the intention to give some compensation to Li Xian, so he handed over the power of recommendation to Li Xian.

"Xian'er can know that this case is not small and must not be neglected. If you can't give the world an account, what is the face of the court? You have to be careful."

As soon as Gao Zong's compensation words came out, Queen Wu immediately was anxious. She couldn't but worry that Li Xian randomly pointed out a small official to be responsible for this matter, so she quickly interrupted from the side.

Ha ha, the old thief can't hold it anymore, and she is still thinking about wearing a spell on our heads. Wait!

When Empress Wu was in a hurry, Li Xian was not in a hurry. He ignored the warning in Queen Wu's words, let alone answered Wu Hou's question. He just frowned slightly and made a serious thinking. After a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and seemed to have a clear idea.

"To inform my father and emperor, I think that what my mother said is very true. The relationship of this case is not small. It is indeed necessary to be able to think about it, and it is not for relatives and nobles. Therefore, the minister recommended the eighth uncle to preside over the case, and he will be able to quickly find out the truth and comfort the doctor's spirit in heaven!"

Li Xian didn't want to pick up the hot potato himself, and he didn't want the party of the Empress Wu to go toss and find other important ministers. Isn't that going to let people jump into the fire pit? There is no doubt that this is naturally not what Li Xian wants to do. In this way, the king of Yue was unfortunately pulled out by Li Xian.

"Well, eighth brother, Xian'er recommends it to you. I don't know if eighth brother is willing to share my worries for me?"

Gao Zong still trusts the King of Yue. The person recommended by Li Xian is Li Zhen. He doesn't have any other ideas. He nodded happily, looked at Li Zhen, and asked gently.

"Your Majesty is clear that it is a matter for your majesty to share your worries. It is really a matter for the old minister. He dares not say anything. However, the old minister has never tried the case, and he is not good at this. If he is forced to do it, he will be afraid of mistakes, panicked."

Li Zhen was going to watch the fun this time, but she didn't expect to be shot while lying down. She was involved in Li Xian's recommendation. She was really angry in her heart. She couldn't wait to scold Li Xian with blood. She just thought about it, but she didn't have the courage to do it like this. In the face of Gao Zong's ardent expectations, Li Zhen could only suffer. He declined with a face.

"The eighth uncle is too modest. You are the mainstay of the country, and your prestige is unparalleled. You are in charge of the overall situation, and there are Dali Temple, Jingzhaofu and other departments with the full support. There is no need to worry that this case can't be solved. My little nephew thought that you can't do this case!"

Li Zhen wanted to get out, but unfortunately Li Xian did not intend to let him slip away. Hearing his words, he immediately stood up and killed him rudely.

"Your Highness has been praised by the prince. How can the old minister be? He is really heartless and powerless."

Li Zhen is not stupid. She would not know how difficult the case is to deal with. Among other things, it is not easy to try Li Xian, the biggest suspect. Without Gao Zong's will, he can't even enter the door of the East Palace, and he can't talk about the trial of the case. In addition, even if Li Xian is willing to cooperate, Li Zhen doesn't think that she can really find out the truth. Didn't you see that the Queen of Wu refused to come forward to fight for the presiding judge's right? Obviously, it had already been expected that the difficulty of the case was too high. Li Zhenzi refused to take over the presiding judge and refused again without hesitation.

"The eighth uncle's words are not good. With your ability, it's really a lot of effort to judge the case. I'm looking forward to it."

It was not only Li Xian who wanted to cheat Li Zhen. For her own consideration, Queen Wu also wanted to put Li Zhen on the stove. Without waiting for Gao Zong to say something, she interrupted from the side. In this way, the situation that was originally a confrontation between mother and son turned into the situation of mother and son to force Li Zhen. The speed was really at a loss. The ministers were all dumbfounded for a moment and didn't know what to think...
