Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 14 Yanyue Hall

The Yanyue hall is as warm as spring, the incense is lighter than the front hall, but the smell is more pleasant.

Li Linfu was wearing a purple official robe and a cloak. He was anointing Lao Tzu's portrait, and said in a low voice, "Emperor Xuanyuan, the Great Sage Patriarch, bless you."

He was sixty and three years old, and he was born in Li Tang's clan. His great-grandfather was Li Yuan's cousin, Li Shuliang, the king of Changping County.

Inserting the three incense sticks in front of the divine case, he turned his head.

That face is majestic and majestic, with straight eyebrows like swords, thick cheeks, thick and strong beard, short distance between pupils, and a combative air.

He is like a steep and lofty mountain, giving people a sense of "precipitous".

"I've seen the right side."

Xue Bai crossed his hands and felt that Runu was staring at him behind him.

In addition, Li Linfu was surrounded by two guards in bearded robes, which showed that he was careful, but why did such a careful person call him to Yanyue Hall?

"The court often scolds the old man for being an adulterer and sympathizes with Li Heng. If you join the old man, are you worried about your reputation?"

"I only know that Li Heng is going to kill me, but Prime Minister You is willing to protect me."

"Who said they want to protect you? If you dare to lie, the old man will teach you to die badly."

"Don't dare."

"Li Heng saved up in secret, the truth has long been guessed." Li Linfu's eyes lit up, and he said: "You say you can help the truth to abolish the crown prince, if that's all you have, it's useless."

Xue Bai was about to speak, when he felt a chill on his neck, Runu was already holding a dagger on his neck.

"I can be the evidence." He said calmly, "I was buried alive and survived. When Li Heng found out, he would send someone to kill me. The right minister only needs to hold the dead man he sent to kill me, and then I will die." Follow the vine."

"Zhu Zi takes himself too seriously!"

"The right minister might as well take me before the sage, but although I want to testify against Li Heng, the sage may not believe it."

Li Linfu pondered.

Before Xue Bai could speak, "Ah Lang" suddenly sounded outside the room, and a maid hurried in and reported a few words to Li Linfu in a low voice.

After hearing this, Li Linfu asked Xue Bai, "Did you give the draft of Liu Jizhi's confession to Li Heng?"

"Exactly."

"Let's see how Li Heng uses this evidence first."

After finishing speaking, Li Linfu raised his hand and pointed slightly, motioning the maidservant to explain to Xue Bai.

"Today is the three divisions of Dali Temple, Yushitai, and Jingzhaofutai to try Du Youlin's case."

Li Linfu said indifferently: "Prince didn't go on purpose, and ordered Ji Wen to wait in the mansion, just to see how many tricks Li Heng has."

Xue Bai knew, however, that he did not leave on a whim, and said with a slight smile, "Yes, the Prime Minister has a more deadly method, so there is no need to bother about this trivial case."

"just wait."

Li Linfu closed his eyes and took a rest.

~~
The road from Dali Temple to Youxiangfu is still in Jingjie.

Only the left and right guard cavalry rushed to pass the news.

Finally, a letter was handed over to Cang Bi, the steward of Xiangfu, and was about to be sent to Yanyue Hall.

"what!"

Suddenly heard a terrifying scream, Cang Bi stopped to look, saw that it was Jiao Nu who was still asking questions, and hurriedly continued to run with her head buried.

In the front hall, Jiaonu had already cut off a piece of thin skin from Du Wulang's arm, and asked, "Is it thin?"

Qing Lan looked at it, and saw that Du Wulang's arm was reddened with thin blood oozing, which was as shallow as a small scrape. Looking at the thin skin, it was indeed as thin as a cicada's wing.

Jiaonu said: "If Alang is not satisfied today, I will cut off the skins of the three of you piece by piece."

Qing Lan quickly said: "What I said is true!"

Jiao Nu slapped Du Wulang backhandedly.

"Don't cry, stupid dog, weren't you just loyal and courageous?"

"..."

Cang Bi has already arrived at Yanyue Hall and calmed down a little.

"Ah Lang, the letter has arrived."

"Listen to this scorpion too."

"Here."

Cang Bi spread out the letter paper and reported sentence by sentence.

"Jing Zhaoyin Han Chaozong insisted on opening the trial without waiting for the right minister and Ji Wen to arrive. The left minister Chen Xilie and Yushi Zhongcheng Yang Shenjin didn't stop him."

"Officials from the three divisions, including Wang Yu and Luo Xixi, presented evidence to prove that Liu Ji and Du Youlin had evil intentions and planned to support the East Palace..."

Xue Bai looked over and noticed that Li Linfu sighed imperceptibly.

Li Heng has already cut off the relationship with the Du family, and behaved very well in front of the saint.No matter how this case is, it will not be able to move his position as the crown prince.

What is still in dispute in this case is "people's hearts". If more people are involved and more people are killed, the courtiers will know that Li Linfu is in full swing; and Li Heng needs to secretly protect a group of people so as not to chill more people.

~~
Since then, one message after another has almost never stopped.

"Ah Lang, the new evidence presented by Han Chaozong is Liu Ji's draft confession, forcing Liu Ji to reverse the confession. The result of the joint trial of the three divisions has been handed over to the palace for the sage to judge."

Li Linfu said lightly: "Did he say how he got this draft?"

"It is said that Weiyan Zhenqing from Chang'an County visited Liuzhai yesterday and found it under the ruins. Many unscrupulous people saw him leaning over to pick up and spread out the paper ball."

Li Linfu sneered, and said, "Xue Bai, what do you think of this matter?"

Xue Bai said: "Maybe the paper ball was really picked up by Yan Xianwei, but it is unknown who put it back there."

"You are amazing." Li Linfu clapped his hands and praised: "The evidence you found, you overturned the case for the Du family, amazing, amazing."

"I did something stupid and made the right minister laugh."

"It's a pity!" Li Linfu sighed loudly: "It's a pity that the evidence you worked so hard to find was sent to a wimp who didn't even have the courage to take out the evidence himself, and he was hiding and sneaking all day long. How can the world be handed over to such an incompetent prince?!"

At the end of the speech, the voice and expression were sharp.

Cang Bi was terrified, and bowed in response: "Ah Lang, Han Chaozong acted like this, but because Alang is not around. Do you want to send this kid to the East Palace as soon as possible to testify against the East Palace?"

"Li Heng didn't send me to burn the evidence. I can only be regarded as framing him to testify, and I can't move him." Xue Bai said: "Wei Jian's crime of 'handing over to the general of Bianzhen' has not abolished him, this time it will be even more serious." No. The only way is to get the evidence that Li Heng kept the dead, and I am willing to take this bait for you."

At this point, he realized that he had talked too much and was in a hurry. Li Linfu is such a smart person, why does he need to explain like this?
Sure enough, Li Linfu only glanced at him with stern eyes, and said lightly: "The young man is impatient, just wait and see what happens even if the case is overturned?"

~~
It's not comfortable waiting for news with someone like Li Linfu.

At noon, a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion delivered the wine and dishes to Yanyue Hall, and tried each dish in front of Li Linfu before he could enjoy it with confidence.

Xue Bai stood there waiting, looking at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.

After Li Linfu finished his meal, he rinsed his mouth and cleaned his hands under the service of the pretty maids, as if Xue Bai didn't exist.

at last.

"Ah Lang, it's over."

"read."

"Liu Ji, Du Youlin and other key offenders, with a hundred rods, and their family members fled to Lingnan, an official who should be bribed by Liu Ji, will be severely punished!"

"Haha! Overturn the case or die! Overturn the case?" Li Linfu laughed, and there seemed to be a smile in his stern eyes, and said: "Don't say a hundred sticks, thirty sticks are enough to kill them."

He proved one more thing - whoever he wants to die must die, no matter how hard he struggles.

After laughing enough, he asked, "Do you know why the saint is like this?"

Xue Bai had been thinking about it just now, and when he opened his mouth, he planned to say, "I'm stupid, please enlighten me", so that Li Linfu could pretend to say a few domineering words.

But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that it would be better to show his clumsiness than to hide his clumsiness in front of Li Linfu.

"The sage also knows that the Du family is wronged. But the sage wants all the servants in the world to see clearly that anyone who wants to rely on Li Heng in order to make a fortune will not end well."

"Straight!"

"The crown prince that the sage wants is a helpless and lonely family. When no one dares to get close to the crown prince, the crown prince will have no threat."

"Enough!" Li Linfu slapped the table and scolded: "You are so bold to speculate on the holy will!"

Xue Bai had no fear on his face, and replied: "If I am not bold, how dare I help the right minister to abolish the prince? Also, the right minister has become more and more difficult to deal with Li Heng, because Li Heng has been humiliated by the right minister too many times, Instead, he became the weakest and least threatening son in the eyes of a saint! The spring breeze in February was like scissors, his handle was cut off by the right side, and he became a flawless piece of wood, the weakest and most invulnerable, after today Li Heng's crown prince position is as stable as Mount Tai, thanks to the right minister!"

"Slap your mouth! Slap your mouth!"

Li Linfu was furious, got up quickly, pointed at Xue Bai and shouted angrily.

All along, he claimed to have insight into the holy will, but he was too hasty on this matter, and only now did he realize the truth of Xue Bai's words.

"The Right Prime Minister has gone through a lot of hardships, but Li Heng can get the satisfaction of the saint as long as he abandons all the people who support him. Only my method can get his handle..."

Run Nu kicked Xue Bai's knee forcefully.

Xue Bai took it hard, but refused to kneel.

Runu was so annoyed that he hooked his feet, grabbed his neck with his arms, and forced him to the ground.With great strength and cleverness, she turned over and restrained him, pinched him with a dagger in one hand, and raised her hand to slap his mouth.

"Right Prime Minister! I just understood the truth in the big vat. It is useless to reverse the case, and Li Heng can't protect anyone. Therefore, I want to join the Right Prime Minister. I don't want to pretend in front of the Right Prime Minister. I hope to help the Right Prime Minister abolish him. !"

"Well."

Li Linfu's eyes sparkled, he got up, paced and meditated, and finally turned around and said, "I'll give you a chance to do things for the old man. You come to seize Li Hengzhi's criminal evidence, and you can really abolish his criminal evidence."

"Okay!" Xue Bai said: "Leave me, if I can become a thorn in his throat, he will pull it out sooner or later."

"You are not bad, sensible, straightforward, and clear about grievances and grievances."

Runnu snorted heavily, let go of his hand, and let Xue Bai stand up.

Li Linfu said in a deep voice: "The old man made a plan to eliminate traitors for the country in Yanyue Hall, and it will never fail. Today's plan to eliminate Li Heng, you must not let it down."

Only now did Xue Bai know why he asked him to go to Yanyue Hall for a secret talk, instead of retreating from the left and right, it was just to win the prize.

"I will live up to the great trust of my right minister!"

"You can comprehend the holy will, but you were born as a son of an official?"

"After I passed out in the snow, I forgot all about it. This matter is absolutely true."

"Alright, let's just have a big dream about the current event and start over again in the future."

"Yes." Xue Bai agreed, but cupped his hands again and said, "I have one more thing to ask, I beg the right minister to let the Du family go."

"Don't push yourself too far."

Xue Bai said: "Today Li Heng has given up on Du Liangdi for self-protection. If the Du family suffers a tragic end, the world will only think that the right minister is persecuting him, making Li Heng pitiful. On the other hand, if the right minister spares the Du family, the world will only Knowing how to be kind and benevolent, Li Heng is ruthless and ridiculous."

Li Linfu said displeasedly: "The truth doesn't need to be judged by the world!"

"Xue Bai and the Du family are nothing more than ants, and ants have the purpose of ants! I heard that Songtsan Gampo asked Emperor Taizong to marry Princess Wencheng. Taizong once gave him a difficult problem, asking him to thread a silk thread through The jewel of the tunnel, Songtsan Gampo couldn't think of a way to do it, and finally let the ants crawl through the nine-curved tunnel with silk thread, and completed the threading."

As Xue Bai said, he crossed his hands solemnly again, and said: "Xue Bai and the Du family are willing to thread the thread for the right minister."

"No one has ever put forward conditions for doing things for the truth." Li Linfu said slowly, "If you want to die, you shouldn't waste the time of the truth."

"I'm still those six words, kindness must be repaid, and debt must be repaid."

"The truth is not something you can convince."

"But I don't know if the right minister has news about Du Erniang?"

When Li Linfu heard this, his face darkened.

Some of the people under him are really useless.

"Li Heng is good at tricks. He seems to be powerless, but he hides everything." Xue Bai said: "If the right minister can protect the Du family, he may use the Du family to find Du Erniang, so as to find the dead man he raised. evidence of."

"You can do it?"

"Within five days, the right minister will be given a satisfactory result."
