The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2102
"Yes." Lin'an responded.

Immediately afterwards, two servants held the wooden tray, on which Li Chengqian showed the seven ministers kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Hall to see last night.

"Dear dears, do you know what this is?" Li Chengqian said: "When I investigated the case of the Qianzhuang, I showed you all kinds of books and evidence about the case of the Qianzhuang, but there are still others. I didn’t say something, and of course, I didn’t read it, but I know what it is, it’s the ledger of letters between the court ministers, the Zheng family, the Wang family, and the honorable officials involved in the case.”

"Do you think that the local officials have no contact with the people in Chang'an City? That's wrong. If there is no one in Chang'an City to clear up their relationship and inform them, how could they have the courage to do such things? Son?" Li Chengqian casually picked up a letter and said, "But I didn't pursue it, because I knew that once it was investigated, none of them would be able to escape. I wanted to give you a chance. On the day of the post-sealing ceremony, I said, I'm waiting for you in the Xuanzheng Hall, but there don't seem to be many people going to the Xuanzheng Hall. Of course, I don't plan to pursue those who have gone in private. In addition to today's people involved in the case, I want to investigate and deal with them, but these For the people involved in the matter, I will give you one today, with my attitude."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he winked at Lin'an.

Lin'an beckoned, and asked the two servants behind him to follow, and the two of them carried those things directly to the center of the brazier in the hall.

"Burn it." Lin'an said.

Hearing this, the two servants began to put the letters and ledgers on the tray into the brazier one by one.

In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Chengqian burned all these evidences.

"My dear friends, let's watch together." Li Chengqian said.

The civil and military officials in the court bowed their heads one after another, whispering and discussing in private.

Has Your Majesty really never seen those things?

They don't know, but they dare not ask.

In about a quarter of an hour, those things were all swallowed up by the flames. The servants in the temple brought water and completely extinguished the fire. After the brazier cooled down a bit, they carried it out.

"My dear friends, do you have anything to say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"This"

All the ministers shook their heads.

They really have nothing to say, the evidence is gone, and they can certainly relax a little bit, but no one can be sure whether His Majesty has seen the evidence, whether he has seen it or not, or just listened to His Majesty himself Empty talk?

If you have read it, His Majesty must have understood who the courtiers are related to the Qianzhuang case, and who has contacts with the people involved in the case, then in the future.
Some people in the court are still terrified.

"Since there is nothing to say, let's retreat." Li Chengqian said.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the court officials, and then left with Lin An, leaving all the civil and military officials with a look of not knowing what to do.

After walking out of Hanyuan Hall, Li Chengqian stopped and said to Lin'an, "Go, let Di Renjie come to Xuanzheng Hall to see me."

Li Chengqian remembered that he sent the guards in the palace to Dali Temple last night, and he hadn't sent a message to Di Renjie yet, but now he doesn't have to bother, just call him over and explain. "

"Yes." Lin'an responded, and hurried to the front of Hanyuan Hall, if he was late, he might not be able to stop Di Renjie.

Li Chengqian returned to the Xuanzheng Hall, after much deliberation, he decided to let Xuan Shijing come to Chang'an City.

Now that Li Chengqian was feeling depressed, looking at the civil and military affairs of the court, the only one who could talk well was his brother-in-law, Qi Guogong Xuan Shijing.

It has been a month or so since the post-sealing ceremony, and Xuan Shijing's appearance in Chang'an will not cause any shock, so Li Chengqian can rest assured that Xuan Shijing will come to Chang'an.

You can't be a good official and let him stay at home and rest in Zhuangzi all the time, right?Is it possible to hide for a lifetime?

Li Chengqian arrived at Xuanzheng Hall with his front foot, and Di Renjie hurriedly followed Lin'an from Hanyuan Hall to Xuanzheng Hall with his back foot.

"My minister Di Renjie, I have seen Your Majesty." Di Renjie went to the hall to salute.

"Di Aiqing doesn't need to be too polite." Li Chengqian said: "I haven't had time to get someone to tell you what happened last night. Today I think about it. Now that the morning court is over, I will tell you directly. It's the same."

"Yes." Di Renjie replied.

"Those seven people, I sent the public guards to Dali Temple instead of Lai Junchen. Aiqing should understand what I mean. Their affairs should be investigated by Dali Temple. Don't let Lai Junchen intervene." Li Chengqian said: "Although they knelt outside the Xuanzheng Hall and wanted to force me, but I don't want to go too far. If Lai Junchen is allowed to intervene in this matter, the lives of those seven people may be in danger."

"Yes, I obey the order." Di Renjie clapped his hands in response.

In fact, Di Renjie also didn't understand. Since His Majesty knew that Lai Junchen would kill someone, why did he still value Lai Junchen so much?
Di Renjie didn't expect that Lai Junchen was a pawn that could be discarded at any time.

"After the investigation is clear, what should be done, and there is no need to tolerate it." Li Chengqian said: "This mess is already big enough, and I don't want it to continue. I trust Aiqing, so this matter is none other than Aiqing. .”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand." Di Renjie said, "Except for these seven people, no other courtiers will be involved in the matter that your Majesty asked the minister to investigate.

Too many people have died in the Qianzhuang case this year, including the ministers who can stand in the Hanyuan Hall every day. Di Renjie can more or less understand Li Chengqian's thoughts when he said this.

"That's great, go get busy." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, I retire."

In just one day, the news of many ministers kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Hall in Yushitai has spread throughout Chang'an City, and it has become something that many people talk about.

The matter of Lai Junchen has nothing to do with the interests of the people. The people only know that Lai Junchen investigates the Zheng family. In cognition, it is equivalent to speaking for the Zheng family. Therefore, those censors were sent to the cells of Dali Temple, and the common people did not feel sorry for them at all.

What is there to be pitiful about who speaks for the bad?

Changsun Wuji is no longer in court, but there are quite a few people who want to find Changsun Wuji when something happens.

Especially after Lai Junchen appeared, many people in the court hoped that Changsun Wuji would come forward to persuade Li Chengqian.
