The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 174 Charges
"Sun Aiqing, please tell all Aiqings what's going on." His Majesty Li Er calmly put the pleading paper in his hand on the imperial case. In the hearts of these ministers, they were anxious, lest they would be involved in the confession of the salesman on Saturday. At the same time, they were also secretly thinking about who submitted the copy and confession in the hands of His Majesty Li Er.

Dai Zhou, who was standing among the courtiers, was holding the Wuban in his hand, but he was thinking in his heart that Xuan Shijing must have handed it over. Xuan Shijing had checked the information of the Ministry of War in Dali Temple. The official on duty last night sent someone to the mansion to report that Xuan Shijing interrogated a man in the prison of Dali Temple last night.

This man must be the salesman on Saturday.

Dai Zhou originally wanted to involve Xuan Shijing with the Lushan Academy case, but he didn't expect that in just one day, Xuan Shijing attacked Sun Yaoting and caught everyone by surprise. Dai Zhou's original intention was not to let Xuan Shijing fiddle Now that the court is very peaceful, I didn't expect that he would not be caught in the end, but after this incident, Dai Zhou looked at Xuan Shijing differently.

In two days, he captured Sun Yaoting's important evidence and handed it to His Majesty as a booklet. This shows that the 14-year-old Marquis Dongshan is very powerful. Now Dai Zhou is looking forward to the case of Lushan Academy. Looking forward to Hyun Se Kyung's outstanding performance.

"The minister was negligent, so many soldiers in Shicheng died at the hands of the Tubo people." For a while, Sun Yaoting's thoughts were turned over and over again. If the salesman confessed the rest of the contacts on Saturday, His Majesty would not be able to just hold on to himself, let alone, It seems that His Majesty does not have those letters lost in the mansion, what is going on?Having thought of this, Sun Yaoting can only bite himself to death in Shicheng now, maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

"Is there any more?" His Majesty Li Er's voice came into Sun Yaoting's ears clearly.

Also, what else, Sun Yaoting wiped the sweat from his forehead, knelt down on the ground, not knowing what to do next.

It took a long time to hear His Majesty Li Er's leisurely words in the Tai Chi Hall.

"Sun Aiqing, did you hear what I said?" His Majesty Li Er's voice suddenly became serious: "Since you don't say it, I will tell you for you. According to the salesman's confession on Saturday, he poisoned the Marquis of Dongshan ten years ago, but you Appointed to him! The copy of the Ministry of War in Shicheng, you deliberately instructed the subordinates to conceal it and not report it, accepting bribes, corrupting the law, and the servants of the mansion are domineering and bullying! What a majestic left servant of the Ministry of War, Sun Yaoting!" His Majesty Li Er took the copy He got up and threw it viciously in front of Sun Yaoting.

The things His Majesty Li Er said were all written by Xuan Shijing in the booklet. At the beginning of the chapter, he mentioned the inexplicable poisoning incident ten years ago, saying that the salesman colluded with the maid in the Hou's mansion to poison himself on Saturday. , the mastermind behind it is Sun Yaoting. As for whether there is someone behind Sun Yaoting, it depends on His Majesty Li Er's own imagination. Anyway, Xuan Shijing just mentioned it "casually" in the booklet.

As for the matter of Sun Yaoting accepting bribes, it was all written in those letters. The salesman has been running to the Sun Mansion on Saturdays, and the occasional "goods" are just that. The people in the mansion are domineering. The chickens and dogs were all stabbed to His Majesty Li Er by the Jinwu Guard. If such a thing happened in normal times, His Majesty Li Er would just turn a blind eye and close his eyes. The key is that he received this letter this morning. His Majesty Li Er understood on the spot why the Sun Mansion was so troubled with the testimonial and this confession, how could he not be angry.

Originally, some courtiers planned to stand up and help Sun Yaoting to defend himself, but when he heard His Majesty Li Er said that Sun Yaoting was instigating the poisoning of Dongshan Hou Xuan Shijing ten years ago, they fell silent again. There is a lack of favor, but his only seedling Xuan Shijing is a treasure in the eyes of His Majesty, and he can't move. Although he knows that Sun Yaoting is taking the blame for His Highness King Jing, this group of people still chooses to remain silent. how?Could it be possible to confess Li Yuanjing?

"My humble minister is guilty." Sun Yaoting kowtowed to the ground, knowing in his heart that it was impossible to continue sophistry. There are so many things written in this memorial, and they must have been learned from those letters. Taking out the letter, I am afraid that many people here will not be able to escape the charge of deceiving the emperor and forming a party for personal gain.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do these things behind your back." His Majesty Li Er rubbed his forehead. He should have thought of this result when he let Xuan Shijing go to investigate. Sun Yaoting alone did not have the courage to suppress Shicheng For such an important story, anyone in the Tang Dynasty who would cause any harm to the military will definitely be executed. Why is Sun Yaoting willing to take such a big risk? His Majesty Li Er would not believe it if he said that there was no one behind him.

"There is no one behind me. This is all done by me alone. I was confused for a while. Your Majesty Wanwang will show mercy." Sun Yaoting knelt on the ground and begged. He is an extremely human minister, but he can also be regarded as a high-ranking official. Sun Yaoting understands how hard this journey has been. Although he is not reconciled to such a result, he still has a fluke mentality and hopes that His Majesty Li Er can extrajudicially show mercy , spare his life.

"Dai Zhou." His Majesty Li Er looked at Dai Zhou who was standing below: "Murdering nobles, delaying military aircraft, taking money and perverting the law, and lax control, how to convict him."

Dai Zhou came out with a board in his hand: "Reporting to Your Majesty, only the two crimes of murdering nobles and delaying military aircraft can be sentenced to death."

"Your Majesty, please be merciful, please be merciful!" Sun Yaoting knelt in the hall and kept pleading.

"If I had known this before, why did you have to protect the person behind you, Sun Yaoting?" His Majesty Li Er looked at Sun Yaoting who was kneeling below, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

Sun Yaoting remained silent. If Li Yuanjing was confessed, His Majesty might spare his life, but he would not be able to escape the fate of sending him to Lingnan. If so, how would the family in his family survive in Chang'an City? He just couldn't escape death, and he only hoped that Li Yuanjing could take care of his family based on this friendship.

Having stabilized his mind, Sun Yaoting made a decision, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, whether it was the poisoning and murder of the Marquis of Dongshan more than ten years ago, or the delay of the military plane by Shicheng this time, it is all the fault of one person."

His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting at the head of the hall, saw Sun Yaoting's decisive expression, and knew that he was going to take it all down. It seemed that the identity of the person behind him was not simple, but from Xuan Shijing's notes, he actually I can't see any clues, I can only see a "random" writing in this memorial, but it makes people think about it. It seems that this matter needs to be investigated by Baiqisi. Now Sun Yaoting recognized Shicheng The book was suppressed on purpose by him. This involves important military and national affairs, so he has to be cautious.

"Take Sun Yaoting into Dali Temple first, and Dai Zhou chooses another day to try the case." He made up his mind to ask Bai Qisi to investigate, and His Majesty Li Er stopped pressing Sun Yaoting to tell him about the mastermind behind it. When Baiqisi finds out, all of this will come to fruition: "Starting today, Lu Chengqing will be promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War, and Yang Hongli will be appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of War."

Above the court, in an instant, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court was pushed to the end. At this time, the promoter of this matter, Xuan Shijing, yawned and sat in the carriage with his mother Wang Shi, with a A group of people rushed to the Zhuangzi in their fiefdom.
