Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 507

The hall was very quiet, so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be clearly heard, but it was not empty, on the contrary, there were not too few people in the hall at this time, five were sitting, one was standing, and they were all in a daze. The not-too-big hall was packed to the brim, but the faces of all the people waiting were incomparably solemn, and no one wanted to speak first, just like six wooden and clay sculptures. Of course, if anyone dared to treat these six as wood and clay sculptures If so, it must be the old birthday star who hanged himself because he thinks he has lived too long, not to mention anything else, just standing there is not a person that ordinary people can provoke - Luo Tong, the leader of the "Ming Di" operation group As for the others, look, Di Renjie, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is sitting on the main seat, and Le Yanwei, the Prime Minister of the dynasty, is sitting on the top seat. They are Xiao Qian, the general of the left guard, and Zhuang Yong, the helm of "Ming Di". Which one is not a heavyweight, and both of them are existences that ordinary people need to look up to. It's a big and difficult thing to solve.

"Ahem, gentlemen, let's begin."

Di Renjie glanced around at all the people present, seeing that none of them had any intention of opening their mouths, his annoyance immediately intensified. That's right, he has the right to make impromptu decisions given by Li Xian. It's easy to control everyone present, as long as you pass on Li Xian's order, everyone can cooperate with all your strength, but this time the fraud case in the examination room happened too suddenly, let alone Li Xian who is far away in Hexi. Unexpectedly, even the well-informed "Ming Di" did not get the slightest news before the incident, and the current balance of the court is on the verge of collapse. People, Di Renjie had to take advantage of Xunjia's opportunity to convene everyone to discuss countermeasures. As for the results, Di Renjie actually didn't hold out much hope, probably because these few people are not very good. They are all older than him, Di Renjie, young and old, and their relationship with each other is not very harmonious, and they will listen to Di Renjie's command before they know it. Even so, as the master, Di Renjie has to take the lead in making such a move.

"Ah."

"Let's begin!"

"It's also good to discuss."

Now that Di Renjie had said so, the group of people would not have any objection, and they all cast their eyes on Zhuang Yong who was sitting upright.

"My lords, according to reliable information, Wu Chengsi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has obtained the confession of Lin Qi, Minister of Rites, through torture, and entered the palace half an hour ago..."

Seeing everyone's eyes sweeping towards him, Zhuang Yong didn't dare to neglect, straightened his body, and reported the news he got in a concise manner.

"Torture? Isn't this a trick of torture? It's really crazy, no, this old man will definitely impeach this villain Wu Chengsi!"

King Luo Bin was always jealous of evil, but when he heard Zhuang Yong's words, his face turned ashen, he clapped his hands resentfully, and couldn't help but interrupt Zhuang Yong's words.

"Brother Tourist, please be safe and don't be impatient. This matter may not be that simple. If there is no Queen Mother's will, how would Wu Chengsi dare to act like this. It is hard to say what is so strange now, and we have to discuss it in the long run. "

Le Yanwei originally held the post of minister of the Ministry of Rites, but was squeezed out by the crown prince, and Lin Qi and other incompetent people were used to replace him. Lin Qi fell into bad luck because of this, and he and King Luo Bin had always been at odds. Seeing that King Luo Bin was so angry that he wanted to make decisions for everyone, he naturally would not agree, so he added a sentence from the sidelines.

"Argument? There is nothing more to discuss. This move is nothing more than a treachery in the palace. Hmph, the matter of the rooster in the morning must not be tolerated. When His Highness is in court, whenever this happens, he will hit him head-on. Luo Even though I'm not talented, I'd like to write for you and fight with all the thieves!"

King Luo Bin glanced at Le Yanwei in displeasure, and spoke impassionedly, as if he would act immediately and call a group of ministers to jointly sign the book.

"Hey."

Le Yanwei's debate skills are only average, and he doesn't want to compete with someone like Luo Binwang who speaks out loud, so in his heart, although he disagrees with Luo Binwang's proposal in every possible way, he doesn't want to say any more, just chuckled lightly, and closed his eyes On the mouth.

"Why? Le Xiang is afraid? Huh, I wait for the salary of the court, and I should do the work of loyalty to the emperor. How can I sit and watch the traitors run rampant in the court? If you don't want to sign the book, Luo will go on his own." !" Le Yanwei stopped talking, but King Luo Bin still refused to give up and insisted on impeaching Wu Chengsi, upon hearing this, Le Yanwei simply closed his eyes and fell silent.

"Don't be in a hurry, brother sightseeing. It's not too late to listen to what Zhuang Zhuang has to say before making a decision."

Seeing that the discussion was about to turn into anger, Di Renjie had no choice but to stand up and make peace.

"Humph!"

King Luo Bin was about to make an impassioned statement, but after hearing what Di Renjie said, he couldn't say more, so he snorted coldly and closed his mouth.

"Steward Zhuang, please continue, is there anything strange about this case?"

A hint of helplessness and bitterness flashed in Di Renjie's eyes, but he didn't explain further, he just waved his hand at Zhuang Yong with a smile.

"According to an insider report, Lynch has nephews from two clans who also participated in the competition this time. In order to take advantage of the situation, Lynch did use his position to leak the exam questions to these two people, but he never sold the exam questions. The origin of the exam questions obtained by Ban Juzi is unknown now, or it may be from the hands of Lin Qi and his nephews, or someone else may be involved in it. Now, all the people involved in the case are under the control of Wu Chengsi , Although Zhuang has tried many things, he has not been able to clarify the truth." Zhuang Yong nodded knowingly, and shared the news he had inquired in the past three days.

"Heh, grandma is a bear, this Lynch is not a good bird, he dares to vent the exam questions, I really don't know how the word 'death' is written!"

Xiao Qian is a military commander, and his temper is not very good. Hearing that Lin Qi had acted so aggressively, he immediately curled his lips in disdain and uttered a foul word.

"Brother Cheng Ning (Xiao Qian's word), the key is not here. Hey, the man in the palace can find out if there is nothing wrong. Now that he has such an excuse, how can he not take the opportunity to have a big blow? I'm going to eat and hang up, if I can't make a mess, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed."

Le Yanwei has old grievances with Empress Wu and the prince, and he wished for a fierce fight between the two sides. In his opinion, the harder the fight, the better. It would be better for both sides to lose, then it would be easier for Li Xian to take over the position, wouldn't it?In this case, he made up his mind to stand on the sidelines, and didn't want to make a move to get involved.

"Hahaha... that's good, I'll wait and see the excitement."

Xiao Qian also didn't want to make a move. Hearing Le Yanwei's schadenfreude, he also laughed out loud, expressing his idea of ​​standing on the sidelines.

"Nonsense, how can the court affairs be so trifling, Luo..."

King Luo Bin didn't want to watch from the sidelines. In his opinion, Lynch deserved to die, but Empress Wu's behavior of meddling in government affairs indiscriminately was even more idiotic. He got angry, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the butler of Di Mansion hurriedly turned around from behind the screen, as if there was something urgent, so he had to forcefully stop what he had said.

"My lord, Eunuch Zhang, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, has arrived and said that His Royal Highness has a decree for your lord."

As soon as the old butler entered the hall, he already felt the smell of gunpowder in the hall, and he couldn't help being taken aback, but when he saw Di Renjie's dissatisfied eyes swept over, he didn't dare to delay any longer, stomped his feet, and strode forward He rushed forward and reported aloud.

"Oh?" Di Renjie frowned involuntarily when he heard that it was the order from the prince, and a trace of suspicion flashed quickly in his eyes, but he didn't dare to neglect it. All the people made a round bow and said, "Please wait a moment, gentlemen. Let Di go back as soon as he goes."

"Di Shaoqing, you are here. His Highness ordered you to have an audience in the East Palace, please."

On the steps outside Di's mansion, Zhang Che, who was sweating profusely, saw Di Renjie walking slowly out of the mansion's gate, he didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries, he rushed forward with a few strides, and finished Li Xian's oral order in one breath, Di Renjie didn't even have a chance to ask questions, so he just waved his hand and urged him with great urgency.

"Oh? Alright, let Di give me a few words, and I'll go with my father-in-law."

Seeing that Zhang Che was so anxious, Di Renjie couldn't help feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, but he turned around without hesitation, and after explaining a few words to the butler, he got into the carriage, accompanied by Zhang Che He rushed towards the imperial city... "Yo, Duke Di is back."

"Die Gong, how is the situation?"

"Brother Huaiying, what happened?"

Di Renjie said he was going to go back, but it took more than an hour to turn back after going. Even Le Yanwei and the others are considered mature and prudent people, so they were impatient to wait, and Di Renjie looked puzzled when he saw Di Renjie. The ground turned around from behind the screen, and everyone stood up, asking questions chaotically.

"My lords, the Holy Majesty's decree has been issued, and the Empress Dowager will be in charge, named 'Queen of Heaven'."

Di Renjie was obviously not in a good mood, and he didn't exchange greetings with everyone, but shook his head solemnly, waved his hand, suppressed everyone's words, and opened his mouth with a trembling sound.

"What? 'Diva'? How does this work!"

"How could Your Majesty be so decisive? It's ridiculous, it's too ridiculous!"

"The prince is going to be in trouble, hey, 'Queen of Heaven', what a 'Queen of Heaven', I'm afraid this time the fun will be great."

Hearing what Di Renjie said, all the people were dumbfounded. After being speechless for a while, they all exclaimed again, and the hall was full of noise.

"My lords, the matter has come to this point, and His Highness has to make a decision in person. Before that, we can only sit and watch, and we must not act rashly. Please be careful."

Di Renjie didn't expect that things would progress so quickly, and he didn't expect that the prince would lose such a miserable defeat. Facing such a chaotic situation, Di Renjie was very wise, but he didn't dare to make a decision lightly. If they could hand over the conflict, they could only hope that Li Xian could come up with an accurate idea. As for the follow-up development, Di Renjie was not at all sure in his heart.
