Dou Shen asked incomprehensibly: "Your Highness, if you don't participate in the performance of King Qi, won't your Majesty suspect us?"

Both the government and the public could see clearly that the envoys of the feudal lords were robbed and killed, and the two princes who stayed in Chang'an were the most suspected.

The crown prince Chu Wang Li Chu and Qi Wang Li Xie, this case must be inseparable from the two.

That's why Dou Shen was anxious to let the officials of the East Palace line attack King Qi, even if he couldn't sue King Qi, at least he had to use this gesture to dispel the emperor's suspicion.

Li Chu said: "After all, you still don't know enough about our Supreme."

Dou Shen immediately pricked up his ears.

I only heard Li Chu say; "My father, the biggest characteristic is that I can endure."

"The emperor has suppressed the father for more than 30 years. What humiliation has the father never endured?"

"Attacking and killing the vassal king's mission is a slap in the face of the royal family, but the Zhengdan court meeting is about to be held. At this time, the emperor will definitely not set up a big prison."

"Father didn't let Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple intervene. What did he explain? It means that the idiots of Jingzhao Mansion will investigate. If they can't find out, at most Jingzhaoyin will be blamed, and the matter will be minimized."

Dou Shen understood at once. He is a smart man, and he quickly understood what the prince meant.

So what if it is found out, the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting is about to be held, at this time, is the king of Qi or the crown prince abolished?

If the prince is involved in this matter, the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting will not be easy.

Obviously, King Qi's faction also grasped the emperor's idea, so they dared to do it.

As long as the emperor has no doubts, it is normal to use some dirty methods in the seizure of the throne.

As for the envoys of the vassal kings who died and the gifts that were robbed, the emperor didn't care.

At the same time, in Tingzhou City, Li Yan put on the table what happened in the capital.

Li Yan is also very clear about this royal father.

He is not a ruthless monarch, but he is also a selfish one.

Judging from the emperor's reaction, there is a high probability that he wants to suppress the case before the Zhengdan court meeting.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Yan's mouth. The other party has already used a knife, so can he still swallow his anger?
Now the case is obvious. The one who can mobilize the Shence Army is related to the captain of the Shence Army. This case must have something to do with King Qi's department.

Since you dare to make moves, then I, King Yue, also dare to show my sword!

Even if Father, for the sake of stability, cannot behead your King Qi, he will still behead one of your arms!
"System, give the players in Chang'an more energy! Add a little more reward!"

Cui Guangyuan was wearing a purple Cong Sanpin official uniform, followed by Shan Tao, holding a briefcase from Jingzhao Mansion, and rode from Jingzhao Mansion into the Nanya, with the signboard of Jingzhao Mansion on the way, the team arrived quickly Zhongshu Shengqian.

"Jingzhaoyin Cui Guangyuan, please join the Political Affairs Hall, I have something important to report to the prime ministers!"

Zhengshitang was established in Menxia Province in the early Tang Dynasty, and later the power of Zhongshu Province rose, and it was relocated to Zhongshu Province.

The addition of the prime minister's appointment is a matter of parity with Zhongshu Menxia, ​​which shows that the prime minister has the authority of both Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province.

The school clerk who was on duty at the Zhongshu Province did not dare to be negligent, and immediately walked into the Zhongshu Province to report to the prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall.

Prime Minister Pei Mian, who was correcting official documents in the political affairs hall, raised his head and asked doubtfully, "Cui Dayin asking for an audience?"

The prime ministers knew about Cui Guangyuan's transfer of the Nanya imperial army out of Chang'an, but the Jingzhao Mansion was very tight-lipped, and the prime ministers didn't know that the Jingzhao Mansion had caught the criminal and obtained a confession.

Such a big case depends on the investigation by the Jingzhao Mansion. It is impossible to have a result so soon, right?
Although Pei Mian was a little puzzled, Jing Zhaoyin asked to see him, and he said to the school secretary who notified him, "Please come in."

Pei Mian's guard of honor remained in front of the political affairs hall, and he walked into the political affairs hall with Shan Tao.

It was the first time for Shan Tao to walk into Datang's power center, and he watched curiously.

Zhongshu Sheng has always been the center of power, so Zhongshu Sheng was built according to the specifications of a small palace.

There are tall city walls around Zhongshu Province, and there is an elite guarding the prime minister inside.

In addition to the main hall where the prime ministers work, there are also places where the school clerks work and study, and there are also places where officials subordinate to the Zhongshu Province work.

The entire Zhongshu Province is also connected by palaces and palaces, and there are guards on duty everywhere.

It really is the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty!

After entering the political affairs hall, Cui Guangyuan followed the school secretary with great strides, and finally arrived at the main hall where the prime ministers work.

The emperor sits north and faces south, so the prime ministers naturally cannot be the same as the emperor.

Therefore, on the north side of the main hall of the Zhengshitang, there is a statue of Wen Sheng. As soon as you enter the hall, you can smell the smell of incense.

The prime ministers sit and discuss, and there is a row of seats for the prime ministers on the east and west sides.

Sitting on the east side is Prime Minister Pei Mian.

The emperor abolished the position of chancellor who held the pen, and instead the prime ministers took turns to hold the pen, so Pei Mian did not have the title of chief chancellor.

However, Pei Mian is still the prime minister with the greatest say in the Political Affairs Hall. Seeing Cui Guangyuan come in, Pei Mian put down the pen in his hand and asked:
"Cui Dafu urgently asked for an interview, but was robbed for offering gifts to the vassal king?"

Cui Guangyuan straightened his clothes and said, "Exactly, the criminal who attacked and killed the King of Yue's mission has been arrested and brought to justice. This is the criminal's testimony."

So fast!
Pei Mian took the testimony handed over by Shan Tao from the school secretary, and saw that the murderer, the Huang brothers, turned out to be the brigade commander of the Shence Army, his eyelids twitched.

Then seeing that the mastermind behind the scenes was Sun Guo, the captain of the North Chamber Army of the Shence Army, Pei Mian's face became even uglier.

Pei Mian said to the school clerk: "Please take a look, all the gentlemen."

The testimony was passed to several other prime ministers, and everyone looked surprised after reading it.

It was expected that the Shence Army was involved, but the chancellors were surprised that the Jingzhao Mansion was able to locate the prisoner so quickly and get the criminal's signed testimony.

When did Jingzhao Mansion become so efficient! ?

After the prime ministers had finished reading, Pei Mian asked, "Is the testimony reliable?"

"The criminals are being held in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. There are the son of Lingshui Yicheng Chengcheng, many soldiers of the Shence Army, and members of the Yue King's mission to testify. The case is very clear."

There is no problem with the procedure, and there is no problem with the testimony. The case has been settled.

Pei Mian got down from his seat and held up his testimony and said: "Since returning to Chang'an, His Majesty has continued to favor eunuchs, expand the number of Shence Army personnel, and allow such villains to mix into the Shence Army, which is what happened today!"

"I want to report to Your Majesty to impeach Li Fuguo, the envoy of the Shence Army!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

All the chancellors at the scene seconded the proposal one after another, Shan Tao was dumbfounded, isn't this an arrest?How did it become the impeachment of Li Fuguo?

This was expected by Cui Guangyuan, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said: "Guangyuan will also play His Majesty to impeach Shence Army's illegal deeds!"

Unexpectedly, under the impetus of Cui Guangyuan and several prime ministers in the Zhengshitang, a robbery and murder case against the vassal king's envoy became a clarion call for civil officials to attack the Shence Army.

Shan Tao came out of the Zhengshitang full of doubts. He really couldn't figure out how the case would develop like this.

Ask Wang Chengwei?

Shan Tao turned on the communicator and contacted Wang Chengwei, the new top scholar who was serving as Wannian county magistrate.

After listening to Shan Tao's description, Wang Chengwei quickly sorted out his thoughts:

"Old Shan, I can't compare to you when it comes to investigating cases, but you can't compare to me when it comes to speculating on the minds of these big figures in the court."

Shan Tao also nodded to express his understanding. Naturally, he couldn't compare to Wang Chengwei for these intrigues in the court.

Wang Chengwei said: "This is an attack by the civil servants on the eunuchs. Since the establishment of the Shence Army, it has been firmly in the hands of the eunuchs. The prime ministers are naturally worried about this growing army of the Son of Heaven."

"Although attacking and killing the envoy of the vassal king is a battle for succession, but it is the Shence Army who did it, so there are many places to make a fuss about."

"The prime ministers also want the emperor to know that he has promoted the Shence army so much that today the Shence army can kill the envoy of the vassal king, tomorrow they dare to kill Li Tang's family, and the day after tomorrow they dare to abolish the emperor."

Shan Tao gasped and said, "It seems to be true. The eunuchs in the middle and late Tang Dynasty seem to be very powerful."

Wang Chengwei said: "It's not just big. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs abolished the emperor at will and killed the emperor."

"And the reason why the influence of the middle and late Tang Dynasty is so powerful is because the Shence Army, the forbidden army that decides the court situation, is in the hands of eunuchs."

Wang Chengwei immediately said: "Thank you, Lao Shan, for the news. I'm going to connect with the censor and impeach the Shence Army with the prime ministers!"
