Chapter 1689
Xiao Yu said leisurely: "Your Majesty, don't be annoyed, I just suggested that Your Majesty should not easily express his position in Fang Jun's case, so as not to end up with it later, he did not say that Fang Jun must be guilty, and he never suggested that Fang Jun should be punished. Be careful, otherwise export will be the golden rule, and it will be difficult to change it.”
Ma Zhou laughed angrily: "What's the difference between this and a conviction? Right now, there is a lot of public opinion in the outside world. If the imperial court keeps delaying without saying anything, won't the outside world confirm Fang Jun's crime?"
Xiao Yu said: "Fang Jun has always acted unscrupulously. I am afraid that most people think that he is arrogant and lawless, and he really sits down to such a shameless thing."
Ma Zhou was furious, and said bluntly, "It's just ridiculous!"
Changsun Wuji, who had been sitting quietly all this time without saying a word, suddenly spoke at this moment, smiled indifferently, looked at Ma Zhou and said, "King Ma Bin is a capable minister and official, but he is still young after all, and he doesn't know the dangers of people's hearts. It’s hard to draw the bones, know people, face but don’t know the heart, and be cautious in everything, so that you can last for a long time.”
All the ministers looked at Xiao Yu and shook their heads secretly. This was simply nonsense, but that Le Yanwei insisted on not letting go, which was indeed a headache.Now that another eldest grandson Wuji has been added, it can be seen that there must be shadows of the Jiangnan gentry and the Guanlong Group behind this incident...
In fact, this matter is very simple, just punish Le Yanwei severely and set things right with the momentum of thunder.
Everything must pay attention to evidence. This is a fair and serious court, not a marketer talking nonsense. If there is evidence, Fang Jun will be punished. If there is no evidence, Le Yanwei, who made a false accusation, will be punished. The ironclad evidence of Jun's crime, it will not be too late to deal with it at that time, how can we generalize it?
But the difficulty lies in the fact that this moment is a sensitive time point...
Expedition!
In the past two years, the troops stationed in the territory and border of the Tang Dynasty have been coordinated and deployed on a large scale. While ensuring the stability of the western and northern frontiers, a large number of troops have been transferred to Liaodong.
If Le Yanwei is severely dealt with at this time, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River behind him will definitely feel the same. It is not necessarily true that there is a change in their hearts, but it is entirely possible to do something secretly to drag the court back.
At this moment, coupled with the Guanlong Group, which has a strong influence in the army... even the emperor has to be afraid.
The emperor is said to be the supreme being in the world, holding the sun and the moon in his hand, and controlling the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, but the emperor is also a human being, and he must be affected by the power of the court, so it is impossible to take the golden rule and keep his word!
There are not many emperors who have been coerced by powerful ministers in history. Even if they are wise and powerful like His Majesty Li Er, it is impossible to ignore the mutual attack and annihilation of the forces in the DPRK and China. They can only balance the interests of all parties and check each other. To the balance of forces of all parties, that is Mingjun.
The pursuit of interests is always, each has its own trade-offs, and it is not enough, so the emperor who obeys the order as soon as it is issued, and the people return to death can only exist in legends. There was no such thing as before, no now, and no future...
There never will be.
Li Er Majesty's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he looked at Xiao Yu, then at Changsun Wuji, and suddenly laughed...
You all think that I can sacrifice everything and endure everything for the sake of the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition, right?
Well, then let me see what kind of background you leaders of aristocratic families have, and I will act recklessly to see if you can really stop the Eastern Expedition, and see if you can really shake my country and society !
All the ministers were surprised when they saw the strange smile on the emperor's face.
Especially Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji, their hearts sank suddenly...
How can monarchs and ministers not know each other's temperament for decades?Seeing the emperor's expression, the two knew that the emperor had really been angered this time!Facing a desperate situation, this emperor only dared to use three thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry to attack a hundred thousand enemy lines under the Hulao Pass, dared to kill brothers and brothers under the Xuanwu Gate, and dared to force his father to abdicate in the Daxing Palace. His body was full of tyrannical blood. Have the courage to splash the sky!
There is nothing he dare not do, no one can try to force him seriously!
Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji knew that without Fang Xuanling's resignation letter, the emperor would choose to endure for the sake of the Eastern Expedition, and temporarily wronged Fang Jun.But the presentation of Fang Xuanling's memorial made the tyrannical blood in the emperor's heart completely burnt up!
This is the blood of resistance!
The position of emperor came because of the support of the family, but also because of the restraint of the family, the emperor's dignity was repeatedly challenged. For His Majesty Li Er, who is extremely confident, it is absolutely impossible to endure for a long time !
Now, the tipping point has arrived!
Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji yelled secretly, they had calculated thousands of times, but they didn't expect that Fang Xuanling's reaction this time would be so violent, and even used the complete withdrawal from the court as a bargaining chip to force the emperor to give him an explanation!
The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly cold. Just as the ministers were waiting anxiously for the emperor to be furious, Li Chengqian, the prince, stood up from his seat, bowed to His Majesty Li Er, and said loudly: "Father, my son has something to tell you." play!"
The ministers were taken aback.
All eyes turned to the prince immediately, wondering why the prince said something at this time?
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that he stared at Li Chengqian like a falcon, and said coldly, "What do you want to say?"
He thought the prince wanted to speak for Fang Jun, so he was extremely dissatisfied.When it's time for you to stand up and defend Fang Jun, you don't say a word, even though Ma Zhou is embarrassed by Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji; now that I have planned to support Fang Jun to the end, then as the prince, you should stay out of the matter, Acting as a peacemaker afterwards to make things right, but now I have to stand up and speak for Fang Jun when I have made up my mind, do you still have some discernment and political wisdom?
The emperor's eyes were burning like sharp swords, Li Chengqian was so frightened that he almost flinched back... But where is he allowed to flinch at this moment?
Swallowing, summoning up his courage, he said, "I will tell my father, that my servants can testify for Fang Jun. Although the merchant's daughter married into Fang's family, she was definitely not forced by Fang Jun as a concubine."
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "What did you say?"
Li Chengqian said in a respectful voice: "On that day, Erchen and the third younger brother were invited to Fang's family for a banquet. Just in time for the Fang family to hold a wedding, Fang Jun accompanied the son and the third younger brother to drink until midnight. After the banquet was over, there was a curfew. Therefore, the minister and the third brother all stayed at Fang's house. Therefore, the minister can prove that the person who entered the bridal chamber with the merchant's daughter was Fang Jun's personal soldier. Malicious fabrication."
After saying these words, the hall was completely quiet, Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji looked embarrassed at the same time...
Everyone looked at the prince with a little surprise and amusement.
Since you were at Fang's house that day, and you witnessed everything with your own eyes, why didn't you speak out early to prove it? You didn't speak until Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji stood up to confirm their position and there was no way out. Woolen cloth?
In the past, the prince gave everyone the impression that he was honest and kind, and his outstanding ability was not only far inferior to His Majesty Li Er, but also superior to King Wei and King Wu among his brothers.The reason why everyone is willing to support Li Chengqian as the crown prince is that Li Chengqian is the eldest son of the emperor because of Zhengshuo, and the other is Li Chengqian's temperament. Who would not want to be an official under such a gentle, generous and friendly emperor?
But now, everyone can't help sighing: His Royal Highness, you have failed your studies...
His Majesty Li Er stared at Li Chengqian with piercing eyes. How could he fail to understand the prince's intentions?
Obviously, it is to let Xiao Yu, Changsun Wuji and others retreat irrevocably!
Finally, with a little domineering prince, what does it look like to be like dough all day long?
His Majesty Li Er was relieved in his heart, but his face remained calm. He looked around and asked loudly: "My dearest relatives, what do you think of the prince's words?"
What can you think?
Could it be that who would dare to accuse the prince of lying and perjury?This is impossible, the crown prince's majesty makes the prince never do that. He said that he will witness it with his own eyes, so it must be true. What's more, there is also His Royal Highness Wu Wang present. Could it be that the two princes are against each other? Joon lied?
Dali Temple Qing Sun Fujia said: "The previous embarrassment was that Le Yanwei insisted that Fang Jun covered up afterwards. Now that the crown prince has testified, the truth will naturally come to light. The impact of Bengkai is extremely bad, and he deserves a higher level of guilt. I implore your majesty to issue an order to punish him as a warning to everyone else!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
During the Zhenguan Dynasty, except for the serious crime of treason, no courtier had been sentenced to death. Now that he proposes such a severe punishment for Le Yanwei, is Sun Fujia going to side with Fang Xuanling and his son to show his loyalty?
Xiao Yu and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, their faces were so gloomy that water dripped out!
Le Yanwei, must be saved...
