Chapter 684 Confused and Confused 5
Anyone who plays politics, unless he is a rookie, is quite good at watching his face. Naturally, Li Zhen is also a master. At this time, when he saw Li Xianmei's heart beating, he seemed to have signs of anger. He not only did he not panic, but was secretly happy. As soon as he twitched, he was ready to make a deputy aggrieved appearance - case It's not that it's not easy to break, but it can't be broken at all. If it can't provoke a chaotic battle between the East Palace and the Empress Wu, I'm afraid that Li Zhen's plan to fish in troubled waters can't be played. Only when Li Xian jumps because of "injustice" is a good opportunity for Li Zhen to take advantage of the situation.
"The aftertaste of the knife? This is another thing. I have been practicing knives for many years, and I dare not say that I am invincible in the world, but I can also be regarded as a good player. Why haven't I ever heard of this? Can Uncle Eight explain for me?
Li Zhen's mood was very fast, but unfortunately it was a waste of effort. Although Li Xian's eyebrows were locked, he quickly stretched out again, let alone very violently, but smiled and asked lightly.
"This..., so that Your Highness knows that the old minister is not good at it, and he really knows nothing about it, but since Sun Xianchang said so, he may or may not be sure."
Unable to wait for Li Xian's anger, Li Zhen was inevitably a little disappointed. She moved quickly and explained a few words hesitantly. There was still a hidden meaning of instigation in her words.
"Oh? In this case, this palace seems to be the biggest suspicion in the eyes of the eighth uncle. Well, since the eighth uncle is ordered to investigate the case, I should cooperate fully. If the eighth uncle wants to investigate the palace, please invite him. No matter who is or where, it is only what the eighth uncle wants to investigate, and I am not allowed to do it.
Li Xian didn't like Li Zhen at all. His provocation seemed to have nothing to investigate, and he was not angry. Instead, he put on the posture of fully cooperating with the investigation.
"I dare not, I dare not, I have no intention!"
If he gives Li Zhen a few more courage, he does not dare to openly search for the palace ban. In case he finds nothing, it is a great crime to bully the king. Even if Li Xian doesn't care, the bullets of the ministers at the bottom are enough to drown him, not to mention that after it spreads out, the people in the world's spit on fire, and the Yue Wangfu will not want to look up and be a man again. At this time, when she heard that Li Xian was so generous, Li Zhen couldn't help but panic and hurriedly explained.
"It's okay. The eighth uncle has a holy purpose. How dare I not cooperate? Otherwise, how can people all over the world see this palace? Huh?"
Li Xian had already guessed Li Zhen's intentions, but he did not intend to break it, but pretended to be stunned.
"Your Highness joked. The old minister did not dare to be so rude and illegal. The old minister also witnessed the matter of His Highness's drunkenness last night. What Sun San said must be a false accusation. The old minister should report to the emperor and repeat his crime!"
The reason why Li Zhen wanted to record Sun San's confession earlier was that she wanted to bargain with Li Xian. However, she saw that Li Xian did not fall into the hook and was not angry because of it. She knew that the original calculation had fallen into vain. In addition to disappointment, she had to cheer up and comfort Li Xian with good words.
"If you can get the eighth uncle as proof, most of the suspicion of this palace is gone, but it is not appropriate to check it after all. In this way, since the eighth uncle has arrived, please thoroughly investigate it, and fortunately return the innocence of this palace."
Li Zhen has retreated again and again, but Li Xian still refused to accept the army and asked Li Zhen to investigate thoroughly.
"This..."
Li Xian said it with great generosity, but how dare Li Zhen really do this? After being forced again and again, she was sweating on her forehead and didn't know what to say with a bitter face.
"The eighth uncle doesn't need to worry about it. Let the subordinates do these little things. I will chat with the eighth uncle here. After a thorough investigation, it's okay to make a plan. Gao Mio, go, pass on the order of this palace, and announce that all the people on duty last night will gather in front of the Ganlu Hall to accept the thorough investigation of the eighth uncle!"
Li Xian didn't care whether Li Zhen was embarrassed at all, and issued an order with a solemn face.
"No, my maidservant obeys!"
Since Li Xian had ordered this, Gao Mi, who was on the side, did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly answered, regardless of Li Zhen's feelings. He hurriedly withdrew from the study and did not mention the arrangement.
"Your Highness, this is an old minister on the stove."
At this point, it can't be done without checking. Li Zhen's heart is like eating Huang Lian, but she can't attack again. She can only wrinkle her old face, shakes her head and sighs.
"Uncle Eight, don't worry. I will make this matter clear at the meeting. I will never embarrass Uncle Eight. Come on, show me a seat for Uncle Eight!"
Li Xian left the palace secretly last night. Except for Zhang Jianzhi and a few other confidants, no one else knew it. He was not afraid of being investigated. At this time, Li Zhen sent it to the door by himself. Li Xian was happy to use his hand to reveal the "truth" to the world. Of course, it is all a facade for outsiders. If you really want to The case was completely exposed, but it still needed the cooperation of Li Zhen. After all, Li Xian did not want to leave the opportunity for Empress Wu to take advantage of the possibility of messing up the case.
"Thank you for giving me a seat."
It should be difficult to escape the curse of the left and right palace ban. Li Zhen also let go and didn't say much. After thanking him, she sat down with the hem of the king's suit, glanced at Li Xian with a dark face, and stopped saying anything.
"Wait down!"
Since we want to talk about cooperation, naturally we can't just let Li Zhen take the blame. The sweetness that should be given has to be given. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the old boy will inevitably use some crooked brains. Li Xian knows this truth in his heart. At this time, when he saw Li Zhen put on the posture of sub-righte, he couldn't help laughing, but There were no other words, but he waved his hand indifferently and withdrew all the eunuchs from the study.
The main purpose of Li Zhen's coming here is naturally to reach an agreement with Li Xian. In addition to dealing with this case, she is more interested in getting some benefits from Li Xian. Therefore, even if she was forced to take the blame before, she was actually not as ashamed as she appeared. At this time, as soon as Li Xian's screen retreated, and his eyes There was a flash of fine light immediately, but his city was deep, and he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and silently waited for Li Xian to take the initiative to start talking.
"Well, is Uncle Eight's investigation quite detailed? Yes, with such a spirit, the truth of this case must be revealed to the world as soon as possible."
After a group of people retreated, Li Xian was not in a hurry to speak, but quietly looked through the stack of documents handed in by Li Zhencheng. After a long time, he raised his head and praised with great satisfaction.
"I'm ashamed of the old minister. Although today's investigation is detailed, there is nothing to gain. The case is very foggy. The old minister really has no way to start. I don't know what your Highness can teach the old minister?"
The meaning of ridicule in Li Xian's words is very strong, but Li Zhen does not dare to care about it. Therefore, there is no Li Xian's cooperation in the case. On his own strength alone, he can't get through it. Not to mention ridicule, even ridicule, Li Zhen can only pinch her nose and endure it.
"The eighth uncle's words are embarrassing for me. This case is the eighth uncle's presiding judge. How dare I say it?"
Li Xian did have the intention to help Li Zhen settle the case smoothly, but he had the intention to return, but it was impossible to fall into Li Zhen's hands. He would not be in a hurry to come up with a plan, but to get rid of the way in a dilemma.
"The old minister is already powerless. Your Highness has always been wise. Please give some advice for the old minister. Your majesty and the Empress are still waiting to reply. Alas, if it really doesn't work, the old minister has to be brazenly resign. I think the Empress should be accurate."
Li Zhen was also prepared. When it comes to the ability to bargain, it will not be much worse. Seeing Li Xian's excuse, he immediately made a melancholy. He did not leave Wu Hou in his words. If Li Xian refused to reach out, he would go to Wu Hou to cooperate.
"Well, the mother has always been holy. She should understand the difficulties of the eighth uncle."
There is not much evidence in this case. If you want to prove Li Xian's head, unless it is a prey, there is no possibility at all. He doesn't care about Li Zhen's threats. Besides, Queen Wu is not a fool. How can she help Li Zhen overcome this difficulty unconditionally? If Li Zhen really goes like this, Except for Ping Bai's handing over the handle to the Empress Wu, he will never get any benefits. In Li Xian's opinion, this is probably the most fundamental intention for the Empress Wu to recommend Li Zhen to deal with the case. In view of this, Li Xian will not be blackmailed by Li Zhen's threats.
"Your Highness, Holy."
Seeing that the words could not be pleaded, and the threat was ineffective, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little angry. After praising him, she simply closed her mouth and put on the posture that the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Is this old boy really slippery? He actually played tricks!
As soon as he saw Li Zhen put on such a shameless look, Li Xian was really a little angry and funny, but it was not easy to attack him. Besides, although Li Xian had the intention to expose the case earlier, the time to speak was not yet. He didn't want to speak in a hurry, so he just closed his mouth and made a group of things that didn't matter. In the state of hanging high, the uncles and nephews were silent with their own thoughts, and the study was strangely quiet.
"Your Highness, all the people on duty last night have gathered outside the hall on standby. Please make it clear to your Highness."
Just as the uncle and nephew were silent, there was a rush of footsteps. Gao Miao, who was covered with sweat, turned out from behind the screen, quickly grabbed Li Xian's front, and hurriedly bowed and reported.
"Well, very good, Uncle Eight, everyone has arrived, so let's ask Uncle Eight to send someone to investigate thoroughly."
Li Xian nodded quietly, looked at Li Zhen blankly, and spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"This..."
Knowing that he knew that he could not find out what was famous, he cursed because of it. Li Zhen was 120,000 and didn't want to issue this order. The problem is that until now, this refusal is really unspeakable. After all, it is his mission to investigate the case by decree. For a moment, he couldn't help but panic...
