"Ms. Zhang, please step aside."

Emperor Jingtai, who was sitting on the dragon chair, glanced lightly with his dragon eyes, looked at Li Nuo and Prince Rui again, and then waved his hand to the Ouchi guards, indicating that Zhang should be taken down.

The civil and military officials in the Taiqing Palace were circulating Zhang's confession, whispering to each other...

"Li Zian, you must have secretly changed your confession!"

The somewhat panicked Prince Rui gritted his teeth and said.

Of course he's not stupid.

By this time, it had already been understood that this was a cruel trick for Li Nuo and Zhang to star together!

He was very upset, why didn't he have a more thoughtful mind?

After getting the news from Nangong Qu, I thought I could get a handle on Li Nuo without thinking too much.

The result was not good, but it was thankless and made me feel embarrassed.

Li Nuo looked surprised and said: "This is strange. How did Prince Rui know about the confession of the Punishment Department? Prince Rui is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, but he can't control the Punishment Department, right? Could it be that someone leaked the secrets of the Punishment Department to

You? Lord Yu Qian, could it be that you accepted Prince Rui’s bribe and then revealed this matter to him?”

"How could I do such a thing?"

Yu Qian couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This Li Zian can really hold grudges.

"Oh, it turns out it's not Mr. Yu! Let me just say, Mr. Yu is a role model for us. He has fresh air in his sleeves and is upright. How could he do such sneaky things? Who could that be? Oh, I remembered...either

Mr. Sun, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is either Nangong Qu, the head of the Nangong family!"

"Li Zian, don't be slanderous!"

Li Yi was in a hurry.

The right minister and Nangong Qu are both his brothers-in-law. They must not be implicated in this matter.

"Okay, how unbecoming is it to argue like this!"

Emperor Jingtai scolded with an unhappy expression.

The venue finally became quiet.

The emperor paused, his tone softened a little, and said: "Uncle, I know you are worried about the Nangong family, but don't worry, now that Zian has taken over, with Zian's ability, he will definitely find out the truth and seize

murderer."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let Nangong Qinhu die a tragic death. The murderer should be on the way to be escorted at this time."

Li Nuo said loudly.

The princes also had expressions of emotion on their faces, but they also had a lot of doubts in their hearts. Could Nangong Ziyao really do such a thing that would cause someone to stab him in the spine?

Nangong Ziyao's methods are actually very superb, but unfortunately, he met Li Nuo.

In fact, if he hadn't framed Li Nuo, Li Nuo wouldn't have cared so much.

But then again, Nangong Ziyao had no choice. There was a faint hand in the darkness, driving him into this quagmire.

Li Nuo secretly sent someone to the Yulin Guard just last night.

Yulinwei is not in Luoyang!

But in Chang'an, in his territory!

Emperor Jingtai saw that the trap he had set was so easily broken by Li Nuo, so naturally he had no interest in continuing to pay attention to the subsequent situation.

Abandon the car to save the handsome man.

A very simple truth.

No matter what the reason is for Nangong Ziyao to kill his father, he will inevitably die.

As for using Nangong Zi to show off his courage, he did not dare to confess Emperor Jingtai.

What's more, this situation was not arranged by Emperor Jingtai himself.

Even if Nangong Ziyao wanted to die together, he couldn't find anyone.

Half an hour later.

An imperial guard with a sword rushed to report that Nangong Ziyao had committed suicide out of fear of his crime.

The accomplice Zhang Yumei also committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, killing one person and two others.

Today's court meeting ended very quickly and came to an end.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, Li Nuo was naturally retained by Emperor Jingtai.

Royal study room.

The monarch and his ministers play against each other.

Looking at the high-spirited and majestic emperor, Li Nuo always felt that something was strange.

But I can't say it.

Probably King Qin's spirit had just regained control of his body and needed to slowly recover.

He could only use this reason to convince himself.

"Zian, thank you for your good investigative skills, otherwise... once you get caught in the whirlpool, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you the choice of Chunwei's examiner. Hey, even though I am the emperor, I can judge it with one word.

, but in fact, there are too many constraints, you have to understand how difficult it is for me."

Emperor Jingtai sighed.

This is actually a disguised way to explain to Li Nuo how difficult it is for him.

Of course, Li Nuo couldn't bluntly say that the emperor was unkind. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty is serious. As a minister, I naturally want to share your worries for Your Majesty. How can I complain about Your Majesty?"

In fact, Li Nuo already had a thorn in his heart.

This thorn prevented him from being so purely loyal to the emperor.

If their identities were reversed, he would never do this!

It can only be said that the current "Emperor Jingtai" does not understand Li Nuo.

If he was really the "King of Qin" back then, he would definitely trust Li Nuo unconditionally, and he would definitely take down anyone who dared to impeach Li Nuo!

Seeing that Li Nuo didn't blame him, Emperor Jingtai smiled and said: "But if you make such a fuss, the matter between you and Qingyang will be easier to deal with. Prince Rui will not make things difficult for you. As long as he is Zongzheng

If you agree, then I will tell the world directly."

The current situation of Prince Rui Li Yi is also a bit difficult. Just like Wang Ziyan at the time, he impeached Li Nuo without any conclusive evidence, but was overturned by Li Nuo. So you have to bear the backlash.

.

If Li Nuo grasps this point, Prince Rui will not die, but he will still shed a layer of skin!

Therefore, as long as Li Nuo is willing to give him a step down, he will definitely be grateful.

In fact, Li Nuo was also very surprised.

He didn't expect that during this fishing trip, he would actually catch Prince Rui!

"Your Majesty, will you go to Prince Rui's residence?"

Li Nuo smiled happily.

If Qingyang knew about this, he would definitely be very happy, right?

As a dignified princess, getting married openly and openly, receiving blessings from the people, this feeling must be joyful.

"Go ahead, but you have to have a better attitude. After all, Prince Rui is still my... imperial uncle!"

Emperor Jingtai reminded him.

In fact, he also felt a little ashamed of Prince Rui.

After all, this game was set up by him, and Prince Rui never even dreamed that he had become a pawn.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I respect Prince Rui the most, and I will never dare to be presumptuous. I will retire first."

Li Nuo exited the imperial study room.

The smile on Emperor Jingtai's face gradually cooled down, and a trace of sinisterness flashed between his eyebrows.

Cui Wuhui was right, conspiracy and tricks could not harm Li Zian.

Chang'an killed the northern barbarians, Jiangnan destroyed the Jia people, Lingnan fought against the Qinglong, and pacified the southern border without a single soldier... As things accumulated one after another, Li Zian's prestige was at its peak, and the people were already calling him Dayin.

God of War.

What frightened Emperor Jingtai was that Li Zian was not a pure scholar!

He is a man of both civil and martial arts!

If Li Zian is in control of the military and is really willing to give up his civility and rebel, how should he deal with it?

Cui Wuhui's plan is to let Li Zian lead the army again!

Go north!

Attack the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain!

When the time comes, whether it's killing someone through a demon or something else, there will be many ways to put Li Zi to death!

But he did not go to Prince Rui's Mansion.

Don't act too impatient. Let's hang on to this old guy for a few days before talking about it.

Li Nuo returned to the Ministry of Justice.

"grown ups!"

A soldier looked ashamed and knelt down, "Sir, I have failed to complete my mission despite my humble duty. Please punish me."

Li Nuo looked at the soldier carefully and recognized that he was Gong Qingyang's bodyguard.

Last night, Qingyang sent him to arrest Nangong Ziyao.

In fact, he had made complete preparations, but he did not expect that Nangong Ziyao was quiet and did not resist at all, but when he was crossing the river and about to enter Luoyang City, he committed suicide out of fear...

"It has nothing to do with you, get up."

Li Nuo said calmly.

If the soldier was granted amnesty, he asked: "Sir, what should we do next?"

Li Nuo shook his head and said: "There is no need to investigate. Let's just leave it at that. I will handle it. You can go back to Chang'an and tell His Highness that there is no need to worry."

"I will resign from my humble position first."

The soldiers retreated.

Li Nuo sat back on the eucalyptus chair and fell into deep thought.

He really didn't expect Nangong Ziyao to commit suicide without even arguing.

This person is too straightforward.

From this point of view...the person who set up this plot has a very big background. So big that Nangong Ziyao could only commit suicide to cover it up.

So who will it be?

Li Nuo looked out the window, his thoughts a little misty.

He really couldn't think of anyone else who could be the mastermind behind framed him again and again if he wasn't an important official in the imperial court.

Outside the court?

There is absolutely no way to achieve this!

Could it be that Cui Wuhui had set up a confusing formation to mislead him?

Whatever.

Sooner or later the truth will come to light.

Just let the bullets fly for a while...

The most urgent task is to get through spring first.

Three days later.

The soldiers who went south to quell the rebellion returned triumphantly.

The gates of Luoyang City were wide open, and people lined the streets to welcome him.

Of course, only a thousand people entered the city to receive the reward this time. They were representatives of the soldiers. Although there were not many people, they could not withstand the enthusiasm of the people.

The soldiers met the Emperor outside the Meridian Gate and accepted the imperial court's reward. They all showed bright smiles and returned home satisfied.

Being able to see the emperor's face is enough for them to brag for a lifetime.

Li Nuo's official position and title had reached their peak and he could no longer reward him, so Emperor Jingtai rewarded him with a mansion.

It is the original Xiaoyao Palace!

Of course, this was Li Nuo's choice.

In fact, there were many palaces to choose from, but he chose this one because Xiaoyao Palace was big enough!

However, Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion was burned down by fire, so the renovation would still require a large amount of money. Fortunately, Li Nuo owns the Yuzhou Winery and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and the family property is pretty good, otherwise he would really not be able to afford it.

"Uncle, has the emperor really rewarded you with Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion?"

Qiluo smiled from ear to ear, feeling for the first time that this emperor was quite generous.

Li Nuo said angrily: "Didn't you see all the land deeds and house deeds?"

"Hehe, we will also have a big house to live in in the future."

Qiluo smiled brightly.

"Why do you act like you've never seen the world before? It's just a mansion, and any hill in Shushan is much bigger than this."

Li Nuo couldn't help laughing.

"How can we compare like this?"

"Okay, okay, as long as you're happy, I'll leave all the renovations to the mansion to you. This will be our home in Chang'an from now on."

"Hehe, I must complete the mission!"

Qiluo puffed up her small breasts and promised.

Ye Qingyu, who was wearing a goose-yellow dress, brought several plates of fruit with a smile on her face: "The emperor gave you this mansion to prepare for your marriage to Qingyang, right?"

Li Nuo smiled awkwardly: "Madam, after spring, let's invite Qingyang out and go out together."

"Well, let's call Sister Ziyuan too."

Ye Qingyu peeled a grape and stuffed it into Li Nuo's mouth with a smile.

Li Nuo was not polite. Not only did he swallow the grapes in one gulp, he also sucked a few mouthfuls of the lady's slender green fingers.

Ye Qingyu rolled her eyes angrily.

In broad daylight, my husband started acting strange again.

Li Nuo licked his lips: "Zi Yuan is actually a miserable woman..."

Ye Qingyu nodded and said, "Although she doesn't seek status, her husband can't be too kind to one and not to the other."

yes.

Marrying Princess Qingyang made such a big splash.

But here at Ziyuan...

Why.

"I know, don't worry. I won't let her down."

Li Nuo said firmly.

In fact, he also understood in his heart that there is no comparison between people.

Qingyang's status is there, so the marriage must be of high enough standards, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of the court.

But Ziyuan is different. Her natal family has no background, so she cannot become Li Nuo's "wife" and can only be a concubine.

Li Nuo could not change this even if he had great power. Otherwise, he would be going against the Confucian etiquette of the whole world.

However, he also made up his mind. If he could not give Zi Yuan a grand wedding, he would definitely compensate Zi Yuan in other aspects.

For example... if you sleep with Ziyuan more often, you will have more fat and little babies!

…

These days, Luoyang and Chang'an are very lively.

Students from various states and prefectures who came to participate in the spring festival were all here. They either submitted poems, visited famous Confucian scholars, or talked in restaurants and teahouses, giving advice and making him famous.

Li Nuo, of course, received many invitations from scholars.

However, Li Nuo sent them away without meeting.

After all, his identity is very sensitive at this time.

The Ministry of Rites has printed the exam papers for this subject, three copies in total. The test takers moved into the palace a month ago, and there is a special hall for them to rest. As long as the imperial examination is not over, they cannot go out.

As for the selection of the examiner, it must be announced on the day of the scientific examination. In this way, cheating can be prevented to the greatest extent.

The next day.

At the great meeting.

Emperor Jingtai personally announced the candidate for the examiner, who was Li Nuo.

In fact, most people have already guessed it.

Li Nuo wore court clothes and walked into the main hall. Looking at the three sealed examination papers, he randomly selected one of them and designated it as the scientific examination paper.

The Ministry of Rites received the test papers and moved the corresponding portions to the examination room.

Of course, everything was sealed, and Li Nuo had to unseal it himself in the end to check if there were any errors.

Yin hour three quarters.

examination room.

The scholars had already taken off their clothes, put on special examination uniforms, and entered the examination room in an orderly manner.

After Li Nuo verified the test papers, he also walked into the examination room.

Chunwei is divided into three exams.

In the morning, I will examine the meaning of scriptures, in the afternoon, I will examine poems and poems, and in the evening, I will examine policy theory. I will not close the papers until dawn the next day.

This arrangement of time is indeed very urgent, and many candidates have failed due to lack of time.

But this is also intentional.

Since we are selecting scholars for the country, how can we succeed if we don’t put some pressure on them?
