Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 546
The Donggong Chongjiao Hall is in the value room.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui sat down one after the other, Yang Bo, Li Fang, Wei Zheng, Ma Zhou and others in Wen Banchen all showed red faces.

Changsun Wuji sat on the third place in the literature class, with his eyes closed and reverent, his face as deep as water, his hands rubbing and tapping on the armrest from time to time, his brows were also slightly frowned.

The gazes of Gao Shilian, Xiao Chengqian and others flickered from time to time, and sometimes looked away. What they were looking at was not Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui, but Zou Yinglong and a group of censors.

"Zou Yushi, this chapter has been drafted!" A speech officer took out the playbook from the official's sleeve, glanced at Changsun Wuji, with a hint of contempt on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay." Zou Yinglong nodded slightly, took the memorandum and put it in his sleeves, and continued: "All the [-] officials of Yushitai have signed?"

"Except those who are worried about filial piety at home or who are sick and empty-handed, the remaining 93 people are all pledged!" The official said, clasping his hands.

A flash of satisfaction flashed in Zou Yinglong's eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Have you got hand ink and footprints?"

"Handprints and footprints are all stamped!" The official's tone was deliberately low, but precisely because of this, it attracted the attention of Changsun Wuji's party even more.

There was silence in the duty room, and after a long time, Yang Bo finally said, "Brother Li, how is the Criminal Department?"

"Why?" Li Fang held a cup of tea and said leisurely, "It's still the same, but now that my wife is in office, the old man's job is very easy."

"That's right, the son-in-law of the house is a young talent, it's a great fortune for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to have such an outstanding person." Mao Peng assisted.

Fang Xuanling raised his hands slightly when he heard the words, and cupped his hands to Li Fang and Mao Peng: "Don't be modest, both of you. Ai'er is still young, and it is inevitable that you will not know how to advance or retreat in many matters. I hope you two will support and guide you."

"Yes, you two should teach Yiai a lot." Du Ruhui glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji beside him, and said with a smile, "Brother Li, I heard that your Ministry of Justice has arrested a new prisoner?"

As soon as this remark came out, something strange happened in the duty room. Everyone looked at Li Fang in unison, wanting to learn some inside information about Cen Mao's crime from him.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Fang nodded and said: "What the Prime Minister said is not bad, the Ministry of Punishment has indeed arrested a prisoner who set fire a few days ago."

"But I don't know who this person is?" Wei Zheng cupped his hands.

All the ministers present here have heard about the arson case of Cen Mao's Wufeng Building, and they have some understanding of the inside story, so they seem to be very concerned at the moment, especially the poor family, who all believe that this is the last thing to bring down Changsun Wuji good time.

"The Procuratorate supervises the censor, Cen Mao and Cen Junran, the fourth rank of the official residence." Li Fang held a cup of tea, and then murmured.

"Ah! The censor of the Procuratorate? How could he know the law and break the law? What's the motive?"

"Wufenglou had gathered a lot of test students before, but Cen Mao chose to do it on that day. I'm afraid there is something hidden."

"The officials have also heard about this matter, the Guozi Supervisor and Chang'an Shizi had a debate on the third floor of the Wufeng Tower, which seems to be related to Fang Consort."

"Fang Concubine? The person who personally led his family to arrest Cen Mao is Fang Concubine."

"Hmph! If you think about the important place of the procuratorate, how can there be villains like Cen Mao and Cai Shaobing one after another?"

After the discussion, all the officials invariably turned their gazes to Changsun Wuji, with doubts and contempt in their eyes, obviously ready to add insult to injury or stand on the sidelines.

Changsun Wuji was quite displeased when he heard the comments of civil and military ministers, Cai Shaobing and Cen Mao are both his old disciples, at this moment, everyone's discussion was clearly aimed at this uncle Guo.

Changsun Wuji opened his eyes and said coldly: "Cai Shaobing and Cen Mao are my disciples, but this matter is also due to my lax discipline, everyone, don't be so sarcastic!"

As soon as this remark came out, some petty officials bowed their hands in apology, "How dare you, my subordinate."

Although the petty officials bowed their heads, people like Yang Bo, Li Fang, Ma Zhou and others stood still, drinking tea with cups of cups, or talking and laughing, without the slightest intention of apologizing.

"Zou Yushi, have you ever written the chapter on impeachment?" Yang Bo chuckled, and continued: "Cen Mao's actions really ruined our talents in the Tang Dynasty, and I will also participate in a chapter when I go to the hall later!"

Zou Yinglong clasped his hands and said: "My lord, all 92 officials of Yushitai have written their hands and footprints, and they will report to His Royal Highness later."

"That's good, that's good." Yang Bo glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said with a smile, "Cen Mao has committed a heinous crime. Hey, where's the last love?"

Seeing Yang Bo looking for Fang Yiai, Du Ruhui frowned slightly, and murmured: "Yes, why don't you see Yiai? Could it be that you won't come to the court meeting today?"

"Perhaps something has delayed it?" Fang Xuanling took a sip of herbal tea and thought, "Could something happen?"

Following the sound of the three golden bells, all the officials left the duty room one after another, but saw Fang Yiai standing alone under the altar outside the Chongjiao Hall, but did not enter the duty room to talk.

"Huh? Why is Fang Consort waiting outside the hall?"

"Could it be that the value room is noisy?"

"I don't know if the son-in-law has this chapter at the meeting."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they stood on both sides of Danchi in two shifts, each of them folded their hands in silence, holding wat boards and preparing to participate in the court meeting.

After being led by the courtiers, Fang Xuanling took the lead to climb up the steps, and everyone walked into the Chongjiao Hall, only to see Li Chengqian sitting at the entrance of Jiulong, his eyes fixed on Fang Yiai.

"Your Majesty, I sincerely invite His Highness the Crown Prince to rest in peace."

"Everyone is free from courtesy."

After Li Chengqian signaled the ministers to separate into hatchbacks, he cleared his throat and said, "Do you have a playbook?"

"My lord, Zou Yinglong, the censor of the right capital of the Yushitai, led the 92 famous officials of the Yushitai, and Yushi has a book to play."

"Chen, Yang Bo, Minister of the Ministry of War, has a copy."

"My lord, Li Fang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, has a copy."

"My lord, Mao Peng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, attached this chapter to Li Shangshu."

Seeing Zou Yinglong, Yang Bo, Li Fang, and Mao Peng standing out together, Li Chengqian was a little surprised, and then asked: "All the gentlemen, finish talking one by one."

Zou Yinglong and Yang Bo looked at each other, and said firstly: "Prince Qi, now there is Cen Mao, a civil servant of the fourth grade of the Supervisory Censor of the Procuratorate, who deliberately set fire to the Wufeng Building. If you know the law, please punish him severely."

"Cen Mao set fire?" Li Chengqian had previously received a joint letter from Li Fang, Mao Peng, and Fang Yiai. Now facing the Guanlong faction, he naturally had to put on a show, at least not to let people see that he was deliberately partial .

"Your Majesty, it is Cen Mao who set the fire on fire." Yang Bo took out the memorial from his sleeve, held it in both hands and said, "I have this chapter for him."

"The ministers have this chapter." Li Fang and Mao Peng took out the playbook together, and then Ma Zhou, Wei Zheng, Fang Yizhi and others walked out of the court one after another, and finally even the good old man Shen Nianxing played a copy.

"Hmm..." Although Li Chengqian thought that Changsun Wuji would be impeached, he did not expect that there were so many people impeaching Shangben, and the six ministers alone accounted for three of them. Not to say that it is not strong.

"My dear friends participated in the case of Cen Mao's arson, and Xiao Wang immediately sent someone to handle it." Li Chengqian's experience yesterday was roughly the same as that of Fang Yiai. When he went to Lizheng Hall to ask Empress Changsun, he was also persuaded with earnestness. The difference is that Empress Changsun didn't threaten Li Chengqian with her sweetheart.

It was precisely because of Empress Changsun's suggestion that Li Chengqian decided to suppress Cen Mao's case of arson after some deliberation. At this moment, facing the all-out impeachment of all the ministers, it is not easy to express his protection.

"This matter was done by Cen Mao alone. How about handing it over to the Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Fang and Mao Peng and asked softly, "Li Shangshu and Mao Shilang have lived in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a long time. What do you think?"

"This matter is not the presiding officer, so please ask the prince to ask the presiding officer."

Facing the hot potato thrown by Li Chengqian, Li Fang immediately threw it to Fang Yiai.

"Presiding judge? May I ask who is Ai Qing who arrested Cen Mao in Wufenglou?" Li Chengqian asked, pretending not to know.

Seeing Li Chengqian's question, Fang Yiai walked out of the class slowly holding a white jade wat board, cupped his hands and said, "Prince Qizuo is a humble minister."

"It turns out that Cen Mao, who was captured by the servant of the house, has made such achievements just after he took office. He is really a role model for all officials." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Fang Yi gave a wry smile in his heart, held the white jade wat board and said, "This matter is due to the secret agents of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and I dare not take credit for it. I also ask the crown prince to reward the talents of the Imperial Horse Supervisor."

"Yu Majian? Feng Chengdong?" Li Chengqian nodded slightly, and then asked: "What do the Qing family think Cen Mao should do? Is it a joint trial in three courts, or hand it over to the Yousi Yamen for finalization?"

As soon as Li Chengqian said this, all the ministers looked at Fang Yiai in unanimous agreement, each of them thought to themselves, they were all waiting to see how Fang Yiai would "make trouble" for the eldest grandson Wuji.
