Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 525 Hidden Dagger
Li Chengqian was quite displeased to see Changsun Wuji leaving the class to support the proposal. It was only because of Changsun Wuji's power and the Guanlong clan that he held back.

"What's the grandson's grandson?" Li Chengqian smiled kindly, and his demeanor was much stronger than when he was treating Zou Yinglong.

Changsun Wuji also held a white jade wat board, cupped his hands and said, "Cheng, Xue and others are now capable generals of the Rear Military Governor's Mansion. It may be very inconvenient if they come and go frequently with officials from the six ministries."

Changsun Wuji's words were extremely tactful, neither did he explicitly name Fang Jun, nor did he deny his current position as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Li Chengqian was stunned. He thought that Changsun Wuji would take this opportunity to slander Fang Jun with all his strength, but he didn't expect that his remarks were superficial.

"What the prime minister said is not bad, Xiao Wang will mention Cheng Chubi and others."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian sat upright at the mouth of Jiulong, obviously waiting for Changsun Wuji to retreat.

After a while, Changsun Wuji remained motionless from beginning to end. Seeing this, Li Chengqian secretly groaned, so he had to ask knowingly, "What else is the prime minister doing?"

"Report to the prince." Changsun Wuji paused for a moment, and after he regained his composure, he said loudly: "The old minister does not agree with Zou Yushi's second reference."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole room was shocked, everyone looked at Changsun Wuji with puzzled eyes, and of course Fang Yiai was not among them.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Fang Yi sneered endlessly in love, and then combined Changsun Dan's previous "hexagram image" with Changsun Wuji's current reaction.

After the discussions among civil and military officials, Changsun Wuji said, "I think Fang's son-in-law is the number one scholar in the new court, and he was born in the Imperial College, so the words of support from the Imperial College students are not unreasonable."

Changsun Wuji's words came out of his lips, and immediately attracted the astonished gazes of Guan Long, Xiao Shi, and Yushitai speech officials.

"What happened today, Prime Minister?"

"Why did you turn your head to help Fang Jun? Could it be that the pain of losing your son was too severe, so your words became garbled?"

"What does Prime Minister Changsun mean by this? It's really hard to guess."

After a while of whispering, Changsun Wuji saw Li Chengqian nodding his head in thought, and continued: "I think the nursery rhyme is just a rumor. Fang Jun is the son-in-law of the court, the son of the Duke, how could he behave so disorderly? As a result of the investigation, this matter is purely fabricated, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will clearly investigate."

"Forehead"

After Li Chengqian got angry for a while, he nodded again and again and said: "What the prime minister said is very true. He is really a good minister of the country."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian pointed his finger at the court, and said softly: "If the Prime Minister has no other important matters, please move."

The reason why Li Chengqian said this was obviously because he was afraid that Changsun Wuji would ask him why he handed over the third-rank crown to Fang Jun in advance, but Changsun Wuji just nodded slightly, then walked slowly to the middle of Fang Du, and returned to the court like this. class.

Changsun Wuji's behavior is difficult to guess, Li Chengqian sees it with a half-knowledge, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others are also covered by clouds, only Fang Yiai knows Changsun Wuji's intentions.

"Changsun Wuji said this because he was afraid that the crown prince would strictly order the supervisors to discuss the nursery rhyme, which would cause Wufenglou to catch fire in vain?!"

Fang Yiai lowered her head and thought to herself, then nodded and said silently: "That's right, that's it."

After Changsun Wuji returned to court, Zou Yinglong waited for a while, and said again: "His Royal Highness, Fang Jun is the third major crime."

"What crime is it?" When he spoke, Li Chengqian's brows showed displeasure. He hoped that Zou Yinglong would take the initiative to retreat, but he didn't expect that Zou Yushi didn't even look at him.

"Fang Jun took the crown of the third-rank minister without purpose. This matter is simply contempt for the imperial power, and he deserves to be punished!"

After finishing speaking, Zou Yinglong turned to look at Fang Yiai indignantly, but Fang Yiai lowered her head and remained silent, as if she was ashamed to face Zou Yushi.

Seeing Fang Yiai's reaction like this, Zou Yinglong's heart surged up. He mistakenly thought that the winning ticket was in his hands, and asked again: "Fang Concubine, please explain clearly."

"Zou Yushi."

Seeing that the matter had developed to this point, Li Chengqian sat in the hall again and remained silent. In desperation, Fang Yiai had no choice but to walk out of the courtroom slowly.

Standing beside Zou Yinglong, Fang Yiai cupped his hands slightly to Li Chengqian with his finger on the wat board, and then said, "Zou Yushi, how do you know that Fang Jun doesn't want it?"

"As we all know, it is a common practice in our dynasty that all the appointments of senior officials above the third rank will read out the will in public in the court hall."

Saying that, Zou Yinglong looked at Fang Yi'ai, and said coldly: "May I ask Fang's son-in-law, when did you announce the imperial decree to appoint the son-in-law to the Ministry of Punishment at the court meeting?"

Seeing Zou Yinglong's aggressiveness, Fang Yiai sneered behind his back, glanced at Li Chengqian at the mouth of Jiulong, and said to himself: "It's hard to persuade you, damn ghost, Zou Yinglong, you are in great trouble!"

Earlier, Li Chengqian ordered Xiao Huangmen to go to the Ministry of Officials to lead the crown belt, in order to sell the house and Yiai as a favor, because the matter was kept secret, except for Li Chengqian and Fang Yiai, only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials knew about it, and At present, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were ignorant of the inside story, seeing what Zou Yinglong said was "reasonable", they all nodded their heads to express their positions and attitudes.

"Zou Yinglong, you really deserve to be a speaker. You're just a stunned young man!"

Changsun Wuji spat inwardly, the reason why he stated earlier that he would not pursue Fang Yiai's wearing the crown belt without authorization was to secretly remind Zou Yinglong, but Zou Yushi unexpectedly ignored his words.

The reason why Changsun Wuji did this was not because he had learned the inside story before, but because he was also in charge of the official hall!
In other words, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Changsun Wuji.

Facing Changsun Wuji's painstaking efforts, Zou Yinglong turned a blind eye to them, and turned to glance at the officials. Seeing that most of them nodded in agreement, he couldn't help chuckling, and asked, "Consort? Have you ever seen the imperial decree?"

"I've never seen it before." Fang Yiai cupped her hands slightly, her expression calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.

Zou Yinglong saw that Fang Yi's face remained unchanged, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "Since you have never seen the imperial decree, why did you go to the Ministry of Officials to get the crown without authorization?"

Facing Zou Yinglong's inquiry, Fang Yiai nodded and remained silent. He knew that the officials would not believe what he said, and there was only one way at the moment, that was to wait for Zou Yinglong to run Li Chengqian away, and let this person sit at the mouth of Jiulong The prince's father took action to kill him.

"Zou Aiqing, can we discuss this matter later?" Li Chengqian frowned and muttered, trying to get Zou Yinglong to understand and back down.

"Prince, this matter is no small matter, His Royal Highness, please investigate and deal with it strictly!" Zou Yinglong mistakenly thought that the winning ticket was in his hands, and wanted to get rid of his wife's love, so why would he care about Li Chengqian's esoteric intentions?
Seeing that Zou Yinglong was holding on to this matter, Li Chengqian felt sullen, and said in a cold voice, "Why should you be so serious about such a trivial matter?"

"The purpose of this humble official is to uphold the laws of our dynasty, and I ask His Highness the Crown Prince to uphold justice!" Zou Yinglong said as he lifted his robe and knelt down, obviously trying to persuade Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was completely angered by Zou Yinglong kneeling down to persuade Li Chengqian, "Zou Yushi, what are you doing?"

"My minister begs His Highness the Crown Prince to uphold justice!" Zou Yinglong said sternly without giving in at all.

Up to now, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty have noticed Li Chengqian's livid face, and they have more or less sense of proportion in their hearts, and they can't help showing sympathetic eyes when they look at Zou Yinglong.

"Fair? How do you let Xiao Wang preside over it?" Li Chengqian held the dragon chair in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Customer Zou Yinglong bowed his head and began to play. Hearing Li Chengqian's cold tone, he mistakenly thought that the crown prince was moved by what he said, so he couldn't help saying loudly: "Arrest Fang Jun and the officials involved in the case together, and hand them over to the procuratorate for trial!"

"Who are the officials that Zou Yushi said were involved?" Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, holding back his sullen anger.

"Fang Jun, officials from the Ministry of Officials!"

As soon as this remark was made, Changsun Wuji walked out of the court quickly without waiting for everyone to react.

Standing beside Fang Yiai, Changsun Wuji held a wat board and said: "The old minister is guilty."

Seeing that the elder Sun Wuji walked out of court to take the initiative to accept the crime, Li Chengqian was noncommittal, but just looked at Zou Yinglong with dark eyes, and did not say a word for a long time.

No matter how stubborn Zou Yinglong was, he still remembered that Changsun Wuji was also a heavenly official in the Ministry of Officials. Seeing that Changsun Shangshu had confessed his guilt, he couldn't help but raised his head and asked curiously, "Prime Minister Changsun, who is this?"

"To be honest, the third-rank crown belt worn by the son-in-law was approved by the old man himself."
