Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 526
As soon as Changsun Wuji said this, Zou Yinglong felt his ears ringing and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Prime Minister of the Grandson and the leader of the Ministry of Officials. The next official"

Zou Yinglong's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Looking at Li Chengqian who was sitting on the mouth of the Nine Dragons, he felt the crown prince's sullenness lately.

Changsun Wuji turned a deaf ear to Zou Yinglong's murmurs, held a white jade wat board and cupped his hands and said: "This old minister is indeed negligent in this matter, and I hope the Prince's Palace will come down."

Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji confessed his guilt, Fang Yiai had no reason to remain silent. He also held up the white jade wat board and said in a loud voice: "This matter is Fang Jun's crime alone. Please His Highness the Crown Prince to punish him."

"What's the crime of the two lovers?" Li Chengqian laughed loudly when he heard the words, the seriousness on his cheeks instantly dissipated, and the gloom in his eyes was also swept away.

Changsun Wuji and Fang Yiai stepped forward and completely resolved the embarrassment brought by Zou Yinglong. Li Chengqian glanced at Zou Yinglong, who was kneeling on the ground with dull eyes, and turned to Changsun Wuji and Fang Yiai: "My dear friends! You are loyal to the country and have committed no crimes, so please temporarily stand in court."

Hearing this, the two of them cupped their hands together, and then walked slowly back to their original positions, leaving only Zou Yinglong kneeling on the ground dumbfounded, how could anyone dare to rescue him?
After clearing his throat, Li Chengqian said solemnly: "Dear dears, the crown and belt worn by Fang Jun was the one that Xiao Wang ordered his courtiers to go to the Ministry of Officials to collect on his behalf yesterday. The imperial decree has been passed to the Zhuangyuan Mansion before, but it has not been read out in court. .”

As soon as this remark came out, the mouths of the officials were immediately blocked.

Right now, Li Shimin's imperial conquest is in person, and Li Chengqian is in charge of the country's regent. He said that if he has announced his will, he will definitely announce it, even if no one dares to speak up?The living example of Zou Yinglong is right in front of his eyes.

Seeing that the officials were silent, Li Chengqian had achieved his goal, and immediately said to the courtier beside him: "Proclaim the decree."

"There is a purpose!"

An octave-high voice sounded, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others took the lead and knelt down with their robes lifted, even Li Chengqian walked down the steps and bowed to listen to the order.

"Zhao said: Fang Jun first served as the magistrate of Meiwu County, Henan Province, and he was promoted to the general judge of Caozhou after investigating many strange cases. Fan Te ordered Fang Jun to be the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he will take office immediately after reading the decree!"

After reading the imperial decree, Fang Yiai slowly knelt and walked out of the courtroom, and said loudly: "Minister, Fang Jun accepts the decree."

After Fang Yi'ai thanked Sheng'en, the civil and military officials slowly stood up, Li Chengqian boarded the Jiulongkou, looked around everyone and said loudly: "Xiao Wang still has the order, all the lovers listen and read quietly."

"Xue Rengui, the vice-general under the account of the military governor's office, has repeatedly made military exploits. This time, he is specially promoted to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment. He will take office immediately after the court meeting."

Having read Li Chengqian's will, Changsun Wuji frowned slightly, and the officials began to discuss again.

"Fang Jun and Xue Rengui were originally sworn brothers. Everyone in Chang'an city knows about this. Now that Xue Rengui followed Fang Jun to the Ministry of Punishment, it is inevitable that he will form a clique for personal gain."

"Yes, there is a saying that three people can become tigers, but it is a bit abrupt for these two young and energetic people to take charge of the punishment."

"Why don't you advise me?"

"What are you persuading? What are you admonishing? Didn't you see Zou Yushi still kneeling there?"

Although the officials and the ministers were quite critical, but with Zou Yinglong as an example, no one would dare to touch Li Chengqian's misfortune again.

When the Chongjiao Hall was slightly quiet, Li Chengqian looked around the crowd with his hands behind his back, and then said to Fang Yiai: "Master Fang, do you have something to say?"

Seeing Li Chengqian's unreasonable question, Fang Yi'ai rolled her eyes a few times, and then said: "This time, I will do my best to protect Long Live and the Crown Prince's kindness. The cave is secluded and the candle is far away, His Royal Highness sees it clearly, Fang Jun will die with no regrets!"

Hearing Fang Yiai's implication, all the officials and workers frowned, and Zou Yinglong, who was kneeling down, turned into a copper toad under the seismograph, staring at the red carpet below in a daze. Dare to say half a word of nonsense?
"It's so good." Li Chengqian nodded and smiled, and then said in a loud voice: "Do you have a chapter to play, all my loves?"

After the questioning, there was silence in the Chongjiao Hall. After waiting for about two breaths, Li Chengqian spoke again: "So, retreat."

"Respectfully send off His Royal Highness."

After the ministers sent Li Chengqian away, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji walked out of the Chongjiao Hall first, followed by Wei Zheng, Shen Nianxing and others. Fang Yiai, Ma Zhou, and Yang Bo walked slowly, leaving only Zou Yinglong knelt on the spot tremblingly, how could he have dared to move without Li Chengqian asking.

"Nephew, good trick!" Yang Bo's dark cheeks glowed red, and he said with a smile, "Zou Yinglong was punished by His Royal Highness, from now on no one will dare to chew your son-in-law's tongue. "

Seeing that Yang Bo saw through her own thoughts, Fang Yiai chuckled lightly, and hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Uncle, don't make fun of it, this matter is only because Zou Yinglong doesn't know how to read words and expressions, and His Highness the Crown Prince was annoyed."

Ma Zhou nodded and said, "That's right, Zou Yinglong is the censor of Zuodu, although he has a high rank, but how could he be so pedantic? How dare he contradict His Highness the Crown Prince."

"These officials are idle and have nothing to do. They know about impeachment all day long. They play this one today and that one tomorrow. They play it back and forth, but they hit the bricks of the house."

Hearing Yang Bo's words, Fang Yi was curious and asked, "Fang Brick?"

Yang Bo looked at Ma Zhou with a smile, and then Ma Zhou said, "Yes, Brick is not afraid of bullets!"

"Pfft!" Fang Yiai sneered, waved her hands again and again and said, "I don't dare to be nicknamed Fang Junwan."

The three of them laughed and walked down Danji, seeing that there were fewer and fewer officials on the road, Yang Bo reached out and touched the sleeve of Yi Fang's Yi Ai, and whispered: "Yi Ai, the eldest grandson Wuji is doing something strange this time, so we have to guard against it. "

"That's right, how could Changsun Wuji defend himself against his virtuous brother? Could it be that he is crazy? It doesn't look like it." Ma Zhou looked around for a few times and deliberately lowered his voice.

Regarding the confusion between the two, Fang Yiai was well aware of their confusion, but he couldn't tell the truth before the time came, so he could only keep his mouth shut and said: "My nephew is also confused about this matter, could it be that Changsun Wuji suddenly changed his nature?"

Yang Bo shook his head and said, "It's better to be careful about this matter. The Ministry of Punishment is no better than the Military Governor's Mansion. There are only a few words in it that can't explain it. It's better to be careful about everything."

"Yes, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of judiciary cases, and its degree of offending people is second only to Yushitai and the Procuratorate. If you accidentally offend a certain high-ranking official, I am afraid that you will be remembered." Ma Zhou said in a side voice. .

Fang Yiai secretly wrote down the advice of the two of them, and said falteringly: "There are Shang Shu and Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Punishment, so I, the three in command, shouldn't be like this?"

"The six ministers are all scheming, you haven't seen Shen Nianxing's tricks? This nicknamed Shen Youzi is as slick as I am."

Seeing Yang Bo's promise, Ma Zhou chuckled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Yang Shangshu!"

"Pfft!" Fang Yiai laughed again, and said in her heart: "Uncle Yang is upright by nature, but he didn't want to go around and got himself involved."

"Why?" Yang Bo asked with a frown, and then he came to his senses, "Ma Zhou! You've failed your studies! Your procuratorate is not much better than Yushitai!"

After laughing and cursing, Yang Bo defended himself and said: "Our military department has always been in charge of military affairs, so we shouldn't be more slick when dealing with the enemy? The law of war says: Soldiers never tire of deceit. Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood." Ma Zhou and Fang Yiai nodded repeatedly, for fear of offending this Yang Shangshu, and if they said a few harsh words to themselves, it would be boring for themselves.

Just as the three of them were chatting and laughing and were about to walk out of the East Palace, a little Huangmen hurried to catch up with the hem of his clothes, and said loudly: "The concubine, go slowly!"

"My son-in-law!" Xiao Huangmen ran up to the three of them out of breath, pressed his hands on his knees, panting, "My son-in-law, His Royal Highness welcomes you."

Hearing that Li Chengqian was asking for his wife, Yang Bo and Ma Zhou looked at each other with interest, and then said: "We still have official business, so we will take our leave."

"Uncle, elder brother, go slowly." Fang Yiai waved his hands to bid farewell to the two, turned around and followed Xiaohuangmen towards Yichun Palace.

In the Yichun Palace, Li Chengqian was sitting on the desk reviewing the memorials. Seeing Fang Yiai's arrival, he said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, please go and taste tea."

As he spoke, Li Chengqian continued to write with a vermilion pen in his hand. After about a cup of tea, Li Chengqian walked slowly to the tea table.

Seeing Li Chengqian's crippled leg, Fang Yiai got up and cupped his hands, "Prince, walking this time is no different from ordinary people."

"That's right." Li Chengqian nodded with a smile, and said with joy in his eyes: "This is all due to the skills of my brother-in-law Qihuang."

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Chengqian took out a small iron card from his sleeve, handed it to Fang Yiai, and said: "This is the token for the promotion of the imperial army. You can transfer thirty imperial troops to the Imperial Horse Supervisor. I don't know." Is it enough? My brother-in-law asked for fifty imperial troops before, but the little king of the inner imperial city can't make too many ideas."

Because of the previous changes in the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin attached great importance to the Forbidden Army in the palace. Although Li Chengqian is now regent and supervises the country, the number of Forbidden Army that can be used for promotion is only more than [-] people. For fear of arousing Li Shimin's suspicion, only thirty names were given to Fang Yiai.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, thirty Imperial Guards are enough. Fang Jun will return the token tomorrow night at Youshi." Fang Yiai stood up and handed over her hands, because she was going to take up the post in the Ministry of Criminal Justice to show off, so she couldn't help but feel the heart to retreat .

"If there is no other order, I will leave."

"Wait." Li Chengqian raised his head to call out Yi Ai, the corner of his mouth raised, "I have a favor this time, so let's send it to Brother-in-law Yu."

"Favour?" Fang Yiai lowered his head in thought, and said casually, "But that Zou Yinglong who is kneeling in the Chongjiao Hall?"

"Yes, it's him."

Li Chengqian took a sip of the tea soup and murmured: "This person doesn't have any bad intentions, but his temperament is very annoying. This time, my brother-in-law went to help him out, he must be grateful, and he will not go in the future The Zhuangyuan Mansion is looking for trouble."

Knowing Li Chengqian's good intentions, Fang Yiai cupped his hands and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your deep understanding, Fang Jun took the order."

"It's not a big deal." Li Chengqian smiled slightly, and continued: "Yesterday, the Empress Mother asked about my brother-in-law. If there is nothing to do later, my brother-in-law can go to Daming Palace to visit my mother. There is also Lizhi. The little girl is in Qixia Palace The capital is almost turning into a watchdog."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, as if he had realized something, and continued: "Right now, the emperor is not in the palace, so you must be more careful when entering the palace. You should invite Bai Jian to go together. You must guard against Li Xia."

Fang Yiai nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me, Fang Jun remembered it."

Li Chengqian got up to see him off, and said as he walked: "I remember that during the reign of Wude, my father was almost beheaded because of the "Palace Gate Belt". I didn't expect that the third king Yuanji would have such a vicious heart. It can be seen that the siblings who are involved in the dispute about establishing an heir are nothing more than that." That's right."

"His Royal Highness is too sad." Fang Yiai heard Li Chengqian's words, and said, "His Royal Highness is recovering now, why are you afraid of King Yue and King Wu?"

"That's right! Although Wu Yue can win for a while, it may not be able to last for a long time. Brother-in-law Yu said so, so Xiao Wang feels relieved."

Li Chengqian personally sent Fang Yiai out of Yichun Palace, and then ordered Xiao Huangmen to lead Fang Yiai to Chongjiao Hall, where he was busy selling favors to Zou Yinglong.

When they came to the Chongjiao Hall, seeing Zou Yinglong kneeling on the ground shaking like chaff, Fang Yiai quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "Zou Yushi, are you okay?"

Seeing Fang Yiai's arrival, Zou Yinglong dodged his eyes, then got up tremblingly and said, "Fangfang's son-in-law."

"Get up quickly, this place is not a place to talk, let's go out of the hall as soon as possible." Looking at the dragon chair on the hall, Fang Yi's love is hidden, and he knows the truth of melon fields and plums, how can he stay in the Chongjiao hall? Even for a moment.

Helping Zou Yinglong out of the Chongjiao Hall, Fang Yiai signaled him to sit slowly on the steps, and said softly: "The Yushi has been kneeling for a long time, and his knees will inevitably bruise. Fang Jun will massage you."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai turned her zhenqi secretly, put her hands on Zou Yinglong's knees, and began to relieve the bruise between her knees.

Seeing Fang Yiai disregarding the past, Zou Yinglong regretted immediately, his lips hesitated to speak, and finally grabbed Fang Yiai's wrist, and said in a low voice: "My son-in-law, I have a confidential matter to tell my son-in-law."

"Secret matter?" Fang Yi'ai frowned, and glanced at Zou Yinglong, fearing that he might have some tricks, she quickly refused: "Fang Jun is a young man, how dare he."

"Does my son-in-law know who wrote that nursery rhyme?!" Zou Yinglong said without waiting for Fang Yiai to finish.

"A nursery rhyme?" Seeing Zou Yinglong say these words, Fang Yi's heart trembled, thinking of Changsun Dan's previous reminder, he quickly asked, "Who is it?!"
