Another twelve crimes, this time it was Li Qinzai’s desperate counterattack.
Now that we have broken up with the aristocratic family, there is no need to have any naive illusions, let alone think about the worldly ways. There is no worldly worldly relationship to talk about with the enemy. The battlefield is full of swords and swords, life and death.
As soon as Li Qinzai's words came out, there was another uproar in the hall.
Li Youdao was shocked, pointed at Li Qinzai and said angrily: "Li Qinzai, it is a serious crime to frame a court official. I, the Li family of Zhaojun, have been a member of the millennium family, how can I allow you to slander and slander me!"
Li Qinzai kept his eyebrows unchanged and said calmly: "In my eyes, the rich and powerful who have committed crimes are more humble than the common people."
Li Youdao gritted his teeth and said: "If you can't produce evidence today, I, the Li family of Zhao County, and you will fight to the death!"
A smile flashed in the eyes of Li Zhi, who was sitting in the hall, but then his face quickly darkened and his tone became cold.
"Li Qing, what you say must be supported by evidence. How can you speak freely in the Golden Palace? The Li family in Zhao County has been a family for thousands of years and has made great contributions to the country. Every one of the many illegal things you said about the Li family in Zhao County must be supported by real evidence. Otherwise, you will be punished.
In the name of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, I have no choice but to punish you for the crime of framing you."
Li Qinzai twitched the corner of his mouth. Yesterday, when Song Sen gave him the pile of dirty information about the Zhaojun Li family, Li Qinzai had guessed that without Li Zhi's nod or even secret instruction, Song Sen would not have dared to do so.
meddling, let alone handing over such important and sensitive black material to him.
So, now is the time to show off your acting skills?
Li Qinzai quickly straightened his expression and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I also know that the Zhaojun Li family has made great contributions to the country and is also loyal to the Tian family. When I first learned of the Zhaojun Li family's many illegal things, I was also very shocked and heartbroken.
, but the national law comes first, how can I dare to show favoritism?"
Li Zhi was angry and slapped the case: "I don't believe it! It's just ordinary mistakes and minor flaws. Who in the world doesn't make mistakes? But you said that the Li family of Zhao County actually committed twelve major crimes. How can I believe you?"
At this time, the members of the Zhaojun Li family in the palace could not bear it anymore.
Now is the moment of life and death. If the Li family of Zhao County is really overthrown by Li Qinzai, their legs will be gone. How can they survive in the court without backers or background?
It is a matter of personal future, life and death, and the party members must stand up and speak for the Zhaojun Li family.
So a censor stood up first, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Li Qinzai to be punished for his false statements and frame-up!"
"The Li family of Zhaojun is not only a thousand-year-old family, but most of the children in the family are the pillars of the country. When the great ancestor Jinyang rebelled, the Li family of Zhaojun had the great merit of being supported by the dragon. Their virtue was respected by the counties all over the world. How can we tolerate the Huangkou children?
Arbitrary frame-up, bringing shame to the family and damage to the reputation?"
At this time, many courtiers also stood up and agreed. Everyone was filled with indignation, and some even had a violent temper, pointing at Li Qinzai and shouting curses.
Li Qinzai's face was expressionless, but he was sneering in his heart.
In this situation, those who dare to stand up and speak out for the Zhaojun Li family must be members of the sect, and their ending will not be much better in the end.
Why did Li Zhi ask Song Sen to hand him that pile of black materials?
Li Qinzai somewhat guessed his purpose.
The imperial examination, which Li Zhi valued most, was interfered with by aristocratic families before the examination started. They used bribery and coercion, and spread rumors in Chang'an City in an attempt to make the imperial examination a mess and make it lose credibility in the hearts of the civil servants.
This behavior has touched Li Zhi's bottom line.
Therefore, the Li family of Zhao County must be dealt with today. This is for Li Zhi to safeguard the interests of the imperial power.
As for Li Qinzai, he is just a tool in this matter. Even if he doesn't take the lead, others will.
The important thing is not who comes to impeach the Li family of Zhao County, but the process that must be followed in the golden hall of the court.
What is ridiculous is that Li Youdao and his party members are still sternly condemning and defending Zhaojun Li.
They didn't know that as early as the Li family in Zhao County threatened Li Qinzai and interfered with the imperial examination, they were already in disaster.
In the palace, Li Zhi was still immersed in the role experience and couldn't extricate himself. Seeing many people standing up to condemn Li Qinzai, Li Zhi couldn't help but nodded and said with a stern voice: "Li Qing, you must give an explanation today. The Li family of Zhao County is a meritorious service of the country.
This family should not be insulted lightly!"
"The Li family has made countless contributions to the country, and all the children in the family have worked hard to become officials. How could such a prominent family do such crazy and illegal things? Don't rely on my favor and trust in you, you will be lawless, otherwise, even if
Your Majesty is here, so I can’t protect you today!"
Li Zhi's words made Li Youdao and his party members extremely grateful.
The family has been a member of the family for thousands of years, and the holy family is still strong. Listening to what the emperor said, it is clear that his favor and trust in the Li family of Zhao County has not diminished. Not only that, they also heard from Li Zhi's words his deep respect for the Li family.
No matter how favored Li Qinzai is, no matter how prestigious Li Ji is, the Li family has grown up from a humble family. In terms of heritage, power, influence among the people, and the importance of the court, how can the Li family compare with a thousand-year-old family? The pros and cons are,
How could the emperor not be sure?
After Li Zhi finished speaking, the ministers in the palace seemed to have received invisible encouragement, and more and more people came forward to criticize Li Qinzai.
The situation in the Golden Palace was already one-sided, but Li Qinzai was not in a hurry, and took the time to straighten his clothes, and said coldly: "Many of the Gung-Gun princes in the whole dynasty are looking at him. I only know today that the family members are here.
How overwhelming is the power in the court!"
There was a sudden silence in the hall, and after a long silence, louder accusations and curses suddenly broke out.
The faces of Li Zhi and Li Qinzai gradually became indifferent. Li Zhi looked around the ministers with cold eyes, and when he fell on those party members who were spitting foam, his eyes showed a bit of murderous intent.
Faced with the accusations from thousands of people, Li Qinzai yawned out of boredom.
Most of those who should stand up have already stood up, so the time has come.
Li Qinzai calmly took out a thick stack of paper from his arms and looked at Li Youdao with a sneer on his face.
"Li Shaoqing thinks I'm just talking nonsense and slandering you at will? Would I say nonsense without evidence?"
Li Youdao, who looked angry, was stunned. Seeing the thick pile of paper in Li Qinzai's hand, Li Youdao's face turned pale again.
Dare to take out this pile of paper in the Golden Palace, which shows that its weight must not be light.
Has the Li family of Zhaojun ever done anything unscrupulous? With a thousand-year-old family, they have amassed mountains of wealth and are trying to conquer the enemy. How can there be no interests involved in such a huge wealth? With interests involved, how can it be possible that they have not done anything unscrupulous?
So, what exactly is the pile of things in Li Qinzai’s hand? How much of it is true and how much of it is false?
If all of this is true, I have to say that the Li family of Zhao County is in great trouble today.
When the matter was made public in the imperial palace, it was destined that there would be no room for change.
At this time, Li Qinzai raised the stack of papers high above his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the evidence that I have collected with great pains. It contains real evidence of the illegal things that Li family of Zhao County has done for many years. If there is any adulteration,
I am willing to take the blame for false slander."
The eunuch beside Li Zhi hurriedly walked down, carefully took the evidence from Li Qinzai's hand, and then trotted to deliver it to Li Zhi.
Of course, Li Zhi had known about this evidence for a long time. It was given to Li Qinzai by Li Zhi's instruction from Song Sen. After receiving the evidence, Li Zhi pretended to flip through a few pages, and the expression on his face changed accordingly.
From disdain, to shock, to disbelief, to anger, and finally into a helpless sigh of anger.
The mood of the ministers in the palace also changed with the change of Li Zhi's expression, especially Li Youdao. His mood was like riding a roller coaster. When he finally found that Li Zhi's expression had frozen, Li Youdao's knees weakened and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Cold sweat dripped down my forehead and I couldn't even wipe it away.
Li Qinzai watched Li Zhi's performance with cold eyes, but was amazed in his heart.
This acting skill is really amazing! Only today did I know that Li Zhi’s acting skills are so superb. He is an actor who was delayed by his career as emperor.
