"Xiaguan had a conflict with the Long family, and finally led his troops to forcefully enter the Long Mansion, and successfully found letters from the Long family that they had colluded with the rebels."
"Faced with overwhelming evidence, the Long family still denied it in every possible way. Finally, seeing that the situation was not right, they actually started to resist with arms. Fortunately, the Lei family and three other families came to help. In the end, with the cooperation of Dongchang, everyone in the Long family was brought to justice."
After saying this, Zhao Heshan cupped his fists and raised his hands, saying: "The above is the entire story. I have absolutely nothing fabricated or concealed. Everything I stated is true."
Li Chen sneered and said to the other officials: "I've heard it all, let's discuss it. What do you think of this matter?"
It was quiet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Even a fool can see that the biggest driving force behind this incident is in the court, either the chief minister and King Zhao standing below, or the Prince of the East Palace standing above.
Although they each have their own factions and clear-cut banners, at this time, none of the masters they followed said anything, and no one spoke randomly.
Li Chen narrowed his eyes, his voice gradually became colder, and said: "Is no one talking? Okay, King Zhao, you speak first."
Li Chen's eyes focused on Li Yinhu, and he said: "Do you know about the Xishan Long Family?"
coming!
Although he knew that the prince would definitely make a fuss about him today, when he actually stood in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and confronted the prince head-on, Li Yinhu still had a trace of guilt in his heart that he was unwilling to admit.
Li Yinhu secretly glanced at Zhao Xuanji. The latter's calmness made Li Yinhu extremely angry.
But I have no choice but to take my words back.
Li Yinhu, who cupped his hands and never thought of denying it, simply admitted: "His Highness, I know Xiao Wang."
"very good."
Li Chen's oppressive voice followed closely, "The Long family colluded with the rebels in Xishan Province, and they met you. What role did you play in their affairs with the rebels?"
This sentence made Li Yinhu's face tighten, and he said in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Highness, Xiao Wang only has a casual acquaintance with them and does not have an in-depth understanding of them. His understanding of them is limited to some local forces in Xishan Province.
Besides, they are the descendants of the founding fathers, and there is nothing more than that. I don’t know that they are actually colluding with the rebels. If I knew, I would definitely cut ties with them. Your Highness, please take a closer look!”
What he said is reasonable and well-founded.
Others who don't know the inside story will think it's legitimate.
But for Li Chen, who was deliberately looking for trouble, he didn't care what Li Yinhu said.
It is said that there is no need to blame others. In other novels, it is the protagonist who suffers this injustice. Now that Li Chen has great power, he also likes to use one trick.
"You don't know?!"
"You have been growing up in the palace and have never left the capital until now. However, the Long family has always been developing in Xishan Province. Only a few days ago, Long Tiande and Long Huaiyu and his son came to the capital. You are simply the wind.
They are not related to each other, but they got to know each other through deception. If it was unintentional, how could you, a newly conferred prince, get to know the declining meritorious family whose title of marquis was taken back by the court a hundred years ago? "
"The Long family has colluded with the rebels and has a disobedient heart. And you, the eighth prince, who has just made King Zhao a county king, have nothing to do with these people. King Zhao, tell me that I want to
How can I trust you?"
His words were like a gust of wind and rain. Li Yinhu, standing in the center of the storm, had a stiff expression and a cold body.
For the first time, he felt the bloody chaos of politics.
This Hall of Supreme Harmony has turned into a hellish Shura field, and the target is all him!
