The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2019 Inquiry
"Chen, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Wang Youshi stood in the Xuanzheng Hall. Although he came to see Li Chengqian on his own initiative, he still felt a little guilty when he really stood here, in front of the emperor.

Wang Sheng is his younger brother. When Wang Sheng went to Yizhou City and took people to assassinate Xuan Shijing, he also knew about it, and he even covered Wang Sheng in Chang'an City. Otherwise, how could he How about letting the people from Baiqisi seize the handle and directly confirm the crime of deceiving the emperor?
It's just that what worries him now is that although the Wang family is now facing the crime of deceiving the emperor, His Majesty has not taken any action against the Wang family.

But in his opinion, it is this kind of inaction that is the most terrifying. If there is action, at least they can find a way to resolve this disaster, but the emperor is not moving, so how can they think of a way?
The Wang family is now in a passive state.

Wang Sheng was brought back to Chang'an City alive by Baiqisi's people, and he was locked in a cell in the palace. Even if they wanted to see him, how could they see him in the palace?He didn't know what Wang Sheng's situation was like now, so Wang Youshi felt overwhelmed and simply went into the palace to find out the news in person. At least in front of the emperor, he could figure out what the emperor's attitude was.

"Your envoy Wang doesn't need to be courteous, come to see me, what do you want to report?" Li Chengqian asked calmly with his head lowered.

After "Chen" Wang Youshi uttered a single word, he knelt down on the ground: "Your servant is here to plead guilty."

"Oh? Pleading guilty?" Li Chengqian raised his head after hearing what he said: "What crime did Wang Youshi come to ask for? I seem to be a little lost. Why did Wang Youshi commit something? "

Li Chengqian directly pretended to be confused, anyway, no matter how the Wang family jumped around, this time, the authentication evidence was complete, and Di Renjie's booklet was already placed on his desk, nothing could stop Li Chengqian from cleaning up the Wang family.

Even if you come to plead guilty now, so what?It is good to know that you are guilty.

Wang Youshi knelt in the Xuanzheng Hall, and after he knelt down, he secretly looked up to see Li Chengqian's expression, but Li Chengqian sat on it without any expression, which made him feel even less confident.

It can't be blamed for his lack of composure. Wang Sheng was imprisoned in the palace again after such a thing happened to the Wang family. Seeing that the Wang family is in decline, can he be calm?

What he is most afraid of now is that the Wang family will be like the current Zheng family, or even worse than the Zheng family.

"I plead guilty on behalf of my younger brother, and plead guilty on behalf of my king's family. As an elder brother, I cannot discipline my younger brother. Letting my younger brother leave Chang'an privately and go to Yizhou City to commit such a huge mistake. Although it is my younger brother's fault, it is more It's my lax discipline." Wang Youshi said: "My younger brother committed such a mistake, which is unforgivable, and I can't have the audacity to ask His Majesty for forgiveness for him. I only ask Your Majesty to sentence him to death according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"Well, Wang Youshi speaks clearly, and his righteousness is awe-inspiring. Such a righteous killing of relatives really impresses me." Li Chengqian looked at Wang Youshi who was kneeling down, with a smile on his face.

What he said to Wang Youshi was not a compliment, but a sarcasm, but to the people kneeling on the ground, it was right to regard him as a compliment.

"It's just that, regarding Wang Sheng, I have my own plans in my heart, so I won't bother Aiqing. As for Aiqing, you should take care of yourself." Li Chengqian said: "If there is nothing else, just step back." .”

"His Majesty."

"Lin'an, send Wang Aiqing out of the palace." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes." Lin'an replied.

Walking down the steps and walking to Wang Youshi's side, Lin'an looked at Wang Youshi with a pleasing expression.

"Master Wang, please."

Wang Youshi raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian, then at Lin'an, then stood up, bowed to Li Chengqian and said, "Your Excellency, leave."

After Lin'an sent Wang Youshi out of the Xuanzheng Hall, Wang Youshi stopped, turned around and looked at Lin'an: "Don't bother me to send you off."

Lin'an smiled and said: "This is not possible, His Majesty's will, let the servants send the Lord Wang out of the palace, the servants dare not go against His Majesty's orders, Lord Wang, please."

Wang Youshi really wanted to ask the people in the palace for news about Wang Sheng in private, but seeing Lin'an following him, he gave up this idea and obediently left the palace.

After Lin'an sent the man out of the palace, he quickly returned to the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, this servant has sent Lord Wang out of the palace." Lin'an whispered beside Li Chengqian.

"Well, did he say anything?" Li Chengqian asked.

"My lord Wang thanked His Majesty for letting the servants see him off, but after leaving the Xuanzheng Palace, he seemed to want to send the servants away." Lin'an said truthfully.

"It's only been so long since the last time the palace was cleaned up, and someone wants to reach into the palace again." Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Lin'an, it's not just the people in the court that bother me. The people in the palace also disappointed me a bit, you are the person beside me, you are the chief steward of the palace, there are some things that you can do even if I don't tell you, understand?"

"Yes, servant girl understands." Lin An responded with a bow.

Li Chengqian suspected that the Wang family had bribed another person in the palace. After all, Wang Sheng was imprisoned in the palace, and the members of the Wang family were also anxious, so he asked Lin'an to investigate the affairs of the people in the palace. If people in the palace have private contacts with people outside, Lin'an can decide how to deal with it.

This imperial palace is the emperor's home, and people from other families have been placed in the house, is that okay?

Not to mention the royal family, even if it is a minister's family, if there are other people's spies, they will feel uncomfortable.

Since ancient times, money has touched people's hearts. The palace is so big and there are so many people in the palace. It is inevitable that some people can't resist the temptation of money. His Majesty Li Er once cleaned up some people in the palace, but how long has passed, and some people have already healed their scars. It hurts.

Li Chengqian removed the stack of memorials on the table, and the memorial that was pressed at the bottom appeared in front of his eyes.

The memorial played by Di Renjie of Dali Temple.

The last time Li Chengqian asked Lin'an to summon Di Renjie to the Xuanzheng Palace, he asked Di Renjie to sort out the Wang family's criminal evidence, sort out the certification and material evidence, and all the relevant people, except Wang Sheng, were locked up in Dali Temple in public. It is also for protection. In addition, these physical evidences have all been sent to the palace, and the documents are also in duplicate. One is sent to Li Chengqian, and the other is kept in Dali Temple as evidence.
