The Yanyue Hall is as warm as spring, and the incense is lighter than that in the front hall, but the smell is more pleasant.
Li Linfu was wearing a purple official robe and a large cloak. He was putting incense on the portrait of Lao Tzu and whispered: "The great sage, Emperor Xuanyuan, bless you."
He was sixty and three years old and was born in the Li Tang clan. His great-grandfather was Li Yuan's cousin, Li Shuliang, Prince of Changping County.
After inserting the three sticks of incense string in front of the divine case, he turned his head.
His face was majestic and majestic, his eyebrows were as straight as swords, his cheeks were somewhat furrowed, his beard was thick and strong, his pupils were short apart, and he had a fighting spirit.
It is like a steep and towering mountain, giving people a "precipitous" feeling.
"I have met the right Prime Minister."
Xue Bai crossed his arms and felt Run Nu staring at him from behind.
In addition, Li Linfu was accompanied by two maidservants in Hu robes, which showed that he was careful, but he didn't know why such a careful person called him to Yanyue Hall?
"The court often calls me a traitor and sympathizes with Li Heng. If you join me, are you worried about your reputation?"
"I only know that Li Heng wants to trap me and kill me, but your right prime minister is willing to protect me."
"Who said I want to protect you? If you dare to deceive me, I will not let you die."
"Don't dare."
"Li Heng has been saving up secretly, and he has already guessed the truth." Li Linfu's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "You said you can help me dethrone the prince, but if that's all you have, it's useless."
Just as Xue Bai was about to speak, he felt a chill on his neck. Runnu was already holding a dagger on his neck.
"I can provide evidence." He said calmly: "I was buried alive but I didn't die. If Li Heng learns, he will send someone to silence me. The right prime minister only needs to seize the dead man he sent to kill me."
Just follow the clues."
"Shuzi takes himself too seriously!"
"The right minister may as well escort me to the saint, but even though I am willing to testify against Li Heng, the saint may not believe me."
Li Linfu pondered.
Before Xue Bai could speak, "Alang" suddenly sounded outside the house, and a maid hurried in and reported a few words to Li Linfu in a low voice.
After Li Linfu heard this, he asked Xue Bai: "Did you give the draft of Liu Jizhi's confession to Li Heng?"
"Exactly."
"Let's first see how Li Heng uses this evidence."
After saying that, Li Linfu raised his hand and pointed slightly, indicating to the maidservant to explain to Xue Bai.
"Today is the time when the three departments of Dali Temple, Yushitai, and Jingzhaofutai will examine the case of Du Youlin."
Li Linfu said calmly: "I purposely refused to go, and even ordered Ji Wen to stay in the house, just to see how many tricks Li Heng has."
However, Xue Bai knew that he had made up his mind temporarily and said with a slight smile: "Yes, the right minister has a more deadly method, so there is no need to worry about this small case."
"Wait, then."
Li Linfu closed his eyes and took a nap.
~~
The journey from Dali Temple to Youxiang Mansion is still on Jing Street.
Only the knights on the left and right ran around to deliver the news.
Finally, a letter was handed into the hands of Cang Bi, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was about to be sent to Yanyue Hall.
"ah!"
Suddenly he heard a horrifying scream. Cang Bi stopped and looked around. Seeing that it was Jiao Nu who was still asking questions, he quickly continued running with his head down.
In the front hall, Jiaonu had cut off a thin piece of skin from Du Wulang's arm and asked, "Is it thin?"
Qing Lan looked around and saw a patch of redness on Du Wulang's arm, with thin blood oozing out, which was as shallow as a small scratch. Looking at the thin skin, it was indeed as thin as a cicada's wings.
Jiao Nu said: "If Alang is not satisfied today, I will cut off the skins of the three of you piece by piece."
Qing Lan quickly said: "Everything I said is true!"
Jiaonu slapped Du Wulang again with his backhand.
"Stop crying, stupid dog, weren't you loyal and courageous just now?"
"..."
Cang Bi had already arrived at Yanyue Hall and had calmed down a bit.
"Alang, the letter has arrived."
"Let this guy listen to it too."
"Here."
Cang Bi spread out the letter and started reporting sentence after sentence.
"Jingzhao Yin and Han Chaozong did not wait for the right prime minister, Ji Wen, to arrive and insisted on starting the trial. The left prime minister Chen Xilie and the censor Zhongcheng Yang Shenjin did not stop him."
"Officials from the three departments, including Wang Xian and Luo Xishi, have given evidence to prove that Liu Ji and Du Youlin have evil intentions and are plotting to support the establishment of the East Palace..."
Xue Bai looked around and observed that Li Linfu sighed imperceptibly.
Li Heng has already severed his relationship with the Du family and behaved well in front of the saint. No matter what happens with this case, his position as crown prince cannot be affected.
What is still being debated in this case is just "people's hearts". If it can involve more people and kill more people, the courtiers will know that Li Linfu is in great power; and Li Heng needs to secretly protect a group of people in order to prevent more people from being chilled.
~~
After that, the messages came one after another almost non-stop.
"Alang, Han Chaozong has presented new evidence, which is Liu Ji's draft confession, forcing Liu Ji to revoke the confession. The results of the three-party trial have been handed over to the palace for the sage's judgment."
Li Linfu said calmly: "Did he tell you how he got this draft?"
"It is said that Yan Zhenqing, the captain of Chang'an County, went to Liuzhai to investigate yesterday and found it under the ruins. Many bad people saw him bending down to pick up and spread the paper ball."
Li Linfu smiled sarcastically and said, "Xue Bai, what do you think of this matter?"
Xue Bai said: "Perhaps the paper ball was really picked up by Lieutenant Yan County, but who put it back there is unknown."
"You are great." Li Linfu clapped his hands and praised: "The evidence you found has helped the Du family overturn the case. It's amazing, it's amazing."
"I did something stupid to make you laugh."
"What a pity!" Li Linfu sighed loudly: "It's a pity that the evidence you worked so hard to find was delivered to the hands of a useless person. He didn't even have the courage to take out the evidence himself. He hid and was sneaky all day long.
How can the world be left in the hands of such an incompetent prince?!"
By the end of the words, his voice was fierce.
Cang Bi was frightened and bowed in response: "Alang, Han Chaozong acted like this because Alang was not here. Will you send this kid to the East Palace as soon as possible to testify against him?"
"Li Heng didn't send me to burn the evidence. If I go to testify, it can only be regarded as a frame-up, and I can't move him."
No. The only way is to get evidence that Li Heng is raising dead soldiers, and I am willing to serve as bait for you."
At this point, he realized that he had said too much and was getting impatient. Li Linfu was such a smart person, why did he need to explain like this?
Sure enough, Li Linfu only glanced at him with a cold look, and said calmly: "Young man is impatient, wait and see what will happen even if the case is overturned?"
~~
It's not comfortable to stay with people like Li Linfu and wait for news.
At noon, the prime minister's servants brought wine and food to Yanyue Hall, and Li Linfu tasted each dish in front of him before he could enjoy it with confidence.
Xue Bai stood there waiting, looking at the scenery outside the window, lost in thought.
After Li Linfu had finished his meal, he rinsed his mouth and washed his hands under the service of the pretty maids, as if Xue Bai didn't exist.
finally.
"Alang, it's sentenced."
"read."
"Liu Ji, Du Youlin and other important criminals will be punished with a hundred sticks. The family fled to Lingnan. Any official who should be bribed by Liu Ji will be severely punished!"
"Haha! Overturn the case or die! Overturn the case?" Li Linfu laughed, and there seemed to be a smile in his stern eyes, and said: "Don't say a hundred sticks, thirty sticks are enough to kill them."
He proved one more thing - whoever he wanted to die would have to die, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
After laughing enough, he asked: "Do you know why the saint is like this?"
Xue Bai had been thinking just now, and he planned to say, "I am stupid, please enlighten me." In this way, Li Linfu could pretend to say a few domineering words.
But as the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that it would be better to expose his clumsiness than to hide it in front of Li Linfu.
"The sage also knows that the Du family is unjust. But the sage wants all officials in the world to see clearly that anyone who wants to take refuge in Li Heng in order to achieve success will not end well."
"Shuzi!"
"The prince the saint wants is a helpless loner. When no one dares to get close to the prince, the prince will no longer be a threat."
"That's enough!" Li Linfu slapped the table and shouted: "You are so bold to presume on the holy will!"
Xue Bai showed no fear on his face and responded: "If I wasn't bold, how could I dare to help the Right Prime Minister to dethrone the prince? Also, it has become increasingly difficult for the Right Prime Minister to deal with Li Heng, because Li Heng has been humiliated by the Right Prime Minister too many times.
Instead, he became the weakest and least threatening son in the eyes of the saint! The spring breeze in February was like scissors, and his handles were cut off by the right prime minister. He became a flawless piece of wood, the weakest and most invulnerable. After today
Li Heng’s position as crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai, thanks to the gift of your right minister!”
"Zhang Zui! Zhang Zui!"
Li Linfu was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at Xue Bai and roared.
He has always claimed to have insight into the Holy Will, but he was too hasty on this matter, and only then did he realize the truth of what Xue Bai said.
"The Right Prime Minister has gone through a lot of hardships, but Li Heng only needs to abandon all those who support him to get the satisfaction of the saint. Only my method can get him..."
Runnu kicked Xue Bai hard at the crook of his knee.
Xue Bai was beaten hard but refused to kneel down.
Runnu was so angry that she hooked her foot, grabbed his neck with her arms, and pushed him down to the ground. With great strength and skill, she turned over to restrain him, held a dagger in one hand, and raised her other hand to kill him.
Clap his mouth.
"Right Prime Minister! It was in the vat that I understood the truth here. It is useless to overturn the verdict, and Li Heng can't protect anyone, so I want to join you. I don't want to pretend in front of You Prime Minister, and I am willing to help You Prime Minister destroy him."
!”
"Well."
Li Linfu's eyes flashed, he stood up, paced and pondered, and finally turned around and said: "I'll give you a chance to do something for me. Come and seize the evidence of Li Heng's crime, and you can really destroy his evidence."
"Okay!" Xue Bai said, "If you keep me, I will become a thorn in his throat. Sooner or later, he will have to pull out the thorn."
"You are good, sensible, straightforward, and clear about your grudges."
Runnu snorted heavily, let go of his hand, and let Xue Bai stand up.
Li Linfu said in a deep voice: "I made a plan for the country in the Yanyue Hall to eliminate traitors, and there will be no disadvantages. Today I have made a plan to eliminate Li Heng. Don't let it down."
Only then did Xue Bai realize why he had asked him to go to Yanyue Hall for a secret talk instead of retreating. It was just to get some luck.
"We will definitely live up to the great trust of your right Prime Minister!"
"You can understand the holy will, but are you a son of an official?"
"After I fainted in the snow, I forgot all about it. This is absolutely true."
"That's fine, let's just have a big dream now and start over in the future."
"Yes." Xue Bai agreed, but then he held his hand and said: "I have one more thing to ask you. I beg your right minister to let the Du family go."
“Don’t push yourself too far.”
Xue Bai said: "Today Li Heng sacrificed Du Liangdi to protect himself. If the Du family met a tragic end, the world would only think that it was the right prime minister who forced him, which would make Li Heng pitiful. On the contrary, if the right prime minister let the Du family go, the world would only
The Right Prime Minister is lenient and lenient, but Li Heng is ruthless and ridiculous."
Li Linfu said displeasedly: "The truth does not need the judgment of the world!"
"Xue Bai and the Du family are nothing more than ants, and ants have uses as ants! I heard that Songtsan Gampo asked Emperor Taizong to marry Princess Wencheng. Taizong once gave him a problem, asking him to thread a silk thread through nine curves.
Songtsen Gampo, the pearl of the tunnel, was puzzled by the method, and finally let ants tie silk threads to crawl through the nine-curved tunnel to complete the threading."
Xue Bai said, and once again made a solemn cross-hand salute, and said: "Xue Bai and the Du family are willing to thread the thread for the right prime minister."
"No one has ever put forward conditions for doing things for me." Li Linfu said slowly and solemnly: "If you want to die, you shouldn't waste my time."
"I still have the same six words: kindness must be repaid and debt must be paid."
"You can't convince me of the truth."
"But I wonder if the Right Prime Minister has any news about Du Erniang?"
When Li Linfu heard this, his face darkened.
Some of the people under him really look useless.
"Li Heng is very resourceful. He seems to have no power, but he hides everything from others." Xue Bai said: "If the Prime Minister can protect the Du family, he may use the Du family to find Du Erniang, and then find the people he has raised to die.
evidence of."
"You can do it?"
"Within five days, I will give you a satisfactory result."
