In the imperial city, the setting sun sets, and the afterglow shines on the glazed tiles of the palace, shining with a golden glow, casting a layer of golden brilliance on this magnificent and huge palace.

In the Tai Chi Hall, His Majesty Li Er sat high above, frowned slightly, obviously thinking about something.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er was a little confused and a little unwilling.

He created this powerful empire with his own hands and created unprecedented civil and military achievements.

I just wanted to use the reformed imperial examination to deal with aristocratic families, but such a thing happened. Could it be that I will never succeed?

Two days have passed since the investigation of the Xu Zhang case!

There was no news about Qin Huaidao and Di Renjie, which made Li Er secretly worried.

If the murderer in the Xu Zhang case is really unable to find out, he will really give in to the aristocratic families?

Faced with the plot of the aristocratic family, His Majesty Li Er was afraid that Qin Huaidao and others would not be able to find evidence.

After all, Qin Huaidao's methods are still too tender.

Involuntarily, Yang Fan's figure emerged in His Majesty Li Er's mind again.

If Yang Fan is really allowed to be responsible for this case, would it be another scene?

For a moment, His Majesty Li Er became worried about gains and losses.

Suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, I will report something to you."

The voice of Li Junxian, the leader of the Hundred Cavalry, rang out.

His Majesty Li Er withdrew his thoughts, sat upright, and asked, "But is the news of the Xu Zhang case coming?"

“That’s right.”

"Oh, let me tell you in detail." His Majesty Li Er raised a little interest and asked happily.

Li Junxian coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, I don't know the reason. I just received a message from Qin Huaidao that the case involves a lot and the Duke of England will come to report to Your Majesty in person."

His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "I remember that the Duke of England was not responsible for this case. How could he be involved in it? Is there any hidden truth?"

Li Junxian replied with a wry smile: "The British Duke is waiting outside the palace. The general has also asked about the situation of this case, but the British Duke said that he could only inform him if he had seen His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

As his own eyeliner, Li Junxian represents himself outside. Li Ji is so cautious, it is incredible.

However, Li Er was quickly recruiting Li Ji in.

Before Li Ji could speak, His Majesty Li Er asked impatiently: "Gong Mao entered the palace at this time, what's the important thing?"

Li Ji did not answer immediately, but instead looked at the eunuch, palace maid and Li Junxian on the side.

Li Er suddenly realized that this was extraordinary, so he waved his hands to the eunuch and the palace maid with a gloomy face, leaving Li Junxian behind.

Li Ji didn't say anything else, walked quickly to the gate and closed the hall gate. Then he carefully took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to His Majesty Li Er.

Seeing that Li Ji was so cautious, His Majesty Li Er took over the memorial without saying a word and carefully read it word by word.

As the reading gradually deepened, His Majesty Li Er's whole face twisted, and the muscles on his cheeks raised, and you can almost imagine the anger in your heart!

Looking at His Majesty Li Er's terrifying appearance, Li Junxian really regretted staying in the hall. He hadn't seen the emperor so angry for many years.

He took a few steps back silently, as if he was afraid that Li Er's anger would vent on him.

Li Ji, who was mentally prepared, felt a little upset when he saw His Majesty Li Er's appearance.

When Li Er was trapped by Prince Li Jiancheng and even suppressed everywhere, he had never seen His Majesty the Emperor so angry.

As an old official, Li Ji certainly knew that this was not a good time to persuade him, so he lowered his head and counted the ants on the ground.

Of course, if there are really ants in this Tai Chi Hall!

There was only a "bang".

The case in front of him was kicked away by His Majesty Li Er. The paper, pen, ink and inkstone on the case rolled out and flew away, falling on the ground and scattered all over the ground.

Li Junxian was so scared by this sudden change that he immediately knelt down and did not dare to look up. His burly body was astringent and trembling, for fear of causing harm to the fish in the pond.

Li Ji still looked like an old god, and he didn't even frown, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with him.

"I'm so angry! The prince is so incompetent. Do you really want to force me to depose his position as the prince?"

"There is also that Changsun Chong. He didn't expect that he was usually gentle and elegant, but he was so sinister and cunning. Do you think that with his father's protection, I wouldn't dare to chop his head?"

"It's simply outrageous! Two big men actually had sex with a Le Tong from Taichang Temple. They were simply shameless. How could they have the face to live in the world?"

His Majesty Li Er was furious and could hardly control himself. His angrily rebuked words were a bit incoherent!

The blue veins on the forehead are like wriggling earthworms, and the face is as ferocious as a beast that has chosen people to eat.

The handsome face and kind temperament of the past have long been thrown out of the sky.

No matter it is the trusted Li Junxian or the powerful Li Ji, no one dares to talk to him at this moment.

The emperor was angry and was barren and was no longer a joke.

This anger can only be slowly calmed down by His Majesty Li Er digesting it himself. If you interrupt rashly, you will be looking for death.

How could these ministers join the royal affairs?

His Majesty Li Er vented for a while, then sat on the dragon throne decadently, panting for a long time before slowly calming down.

After staring at Li Ji for a while, His Majesty Li Er asked coldly: "Gong Mao, is the memorial written true? Do you think it is someone who deliberately flatters me?"

Li Ji sorted out his thoughts, slowly raised his head, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this matter is just a coincidence. Juyue's memorial was also entrusted by the Hou Zhongyi and Qin Huaidao..."

"The truth of the testimony is only said that it was seen by himself and heard by himself, and it was also interrogated by Baiqi himself."

"As for whether the prince was flattered, the empress is old and has a little dull mind and cannot distinguish right from wrong. Then she reported to Your Majesty as he was, and let the emperor make a judgment."

If Yang Fan knew that Li Ji had sold him as soon as he spoke, he would not know if he would agree to Li Ji's condition.

However, His Majesty Li Er can't control so much.

Looking at Li Ji, who was very conscious of the current affairs, His Majesty Li Er's mood did not improve, and he was having a headache when rubbing his temples and jumping around.

If you want to cover up the scandal between the Changsun family and the royal family, then the punishment for this matter can only be stopped.

But Li Chengqian actually leaked the imperial examination questions to a Le Tong, which was completely unbearable to His Majesty Li Er.

After all, the imperial examination was Li Er's most powerful means to deal with the aristocratic family, but now he is self-defeating from the inside. How can he not make him angry?

Now the idea of ​​deposing the prince has become clearer.

What's more, there is evidence in the Xu Zhang case that proves that it was a plot by the aristocratic family. His Majesty Li Er also wanted to use this to threaten these noble families to surrender to his feet.

But now Li Er is a little hesitant!

If you want to use this evidence to deal with the aristocratic family, you will inevitably involve Prince Li Chengqian.

It is undeniable that His Majesty Li Er is one of the few emperors who are more affectionate.

If you want to use this evidence to deal with the aristocratic family, it may have a good effect.

Once the radish is pulled out, bring out the mud!

It may bring the engagement and grudges between Changsun Chong and Crown Prince Li Chengqian to the open.

In this way, not only will the royal family lose all their faces, but it may also push the Changsun family to the opposite side.

Although Changsun Wuji is just a minister, who dares to underestimate the relationship network he has operated in the court for so many years?

If Changsun Wuji really pushes him to the aristocratic family, then it would be too late for him, Li Er to regret it?

Moreover, if this matter is made public, it is equivalent to destroying Li Chengqian's son, and His Majesty Li Er feels a little unbearable.

Suddenly, His Majesty Li Er felt a little embarrassed.

Looking at the hesitant emperor, Li Ji of course guessed what he was thinking and quickly said, "Your Majesty, this confession comes from a person who is greedy for life and fears death. I believe that the authenticity needs to be considered."

"I think the rumors about His Highness the Crown Prince and Changsun Chong, the Minister of Rites, were just made up by Wang Dahui. Of course, the purpose was to disrupt the Baiqi's vision of handling cases and to shirke away his own guilt."

"Since Wang Daechui is the mastermind of Xu Zhang's death, he should be sentenced to death as soon as possible after reviewing the evidence."

"As for the Taichang Temple Letong, who was satisfied with her, took the opportunity to steal the imperial examination questions when she was close to the prince, was the worst evil..."

That’s all, it depends on the emperor’s wishes!

If you continue to trust the prince, then the matter will naturally end here. All these evidences will be destroyed, allowing Wang Dachu and Suishi to take the blame.

If he was extremely disappointed with the prince, then the emperor would have to let the Ministry of Justice take over with Dali Temple, give a dignified judgment, and then depose the prince.

After all, Baiqi is just the emperor's private intelligence organization, so naturally he cannot continue to investigate the case.

Otherwise, once this example is opened, the Hundred Cavalry will definitely become an existence that transcends the Tang Dynasty system, which is not a good thing.

His Majesty Li Er looked at the memorial in front of him, frowned, his belly full of depression, and his face changed.

Finally, he sighed slightly, obviously agreeing with Li Ji's remarks.

These words completely removed the Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong from the matter.

It can be said that the royal family has maintained its face and given His Majesty Li Er a step forward.
To be continued...
