Le Sihui's son is still young, and because he is young, he has not yet formed a fear of the emperor and a fear of the inviolability of the monarchy.
He only remembered that his father and brother were killed by the big villain, and if he could convince the emperor, then the big bad guy would be punished, and he and his mother, as well as Ah Mei and Ah Mei, would be able to get out of slavery and regain their freedom.
The Emperor's question, which was one of the twelve questions prepared by the official who had prepared to rescue him and his family, relieved him that he did not need to answer the female emperor's question on his own, and replied aloud: "The minister has no credentials" There is nothing in this sentence, because the whistleblower system at that time, including the system of impeaching officials in the Imperial Historical Observatory, could be heard.
As long as you hear about it, you can sue, as for whether the matter really exists, let the Yamen of Yousi investigate, and you don't need to provide evidence, which is also one of the reasons why Wu Zetian gradually stopped paying attention to Tongkuan's whistleblowing.
The eaves of your house occupy the space of my house, and the cart you set up occupies the space where I set up my stall, and as long as people have a little personal vendetta, they will fabricate charges and submit letters to inform, and the messy and various "cases" have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources from the judicial department and the yamen, and the investment is too disproportionate to the results.
But his second sentence was not so good, he raised his dantian qi and said loudly: "Just as Lai Junchen accused the minister, there is no evidence at all."
Wu Zetian's face suddenly sank, and he feigned anger and said: "Little baby, do you know what crime you should be guilty of deliberately framing the minister?"
The musician boy kowtowed and said loudly: "The minister hears the story, although there is no evidence, but it is not a false accusation, as for the crime, according to His Majesty's rules, the news is reported, even if it is untrue, it will not be punished, so the minister is not guilty."
"Hehehehe" Wu Zetian laughed, turned his head to Li Zhaode and said, "Lejia Xiaoer, you have a good courage. ” Li Zhaode stroked his beard and smiled: "A baby, what kind of courage can he have."
Thinking about it, he had heard of His Majesty's virtuous name of being open-minded and accepting advice, and his heart was afraid, so he didn't know how to be afraid. ” Wu Zetian turned his head and smiled at the surviving youngest son of the Le family: "Okay, you say, why did you sue Junchen to frame Zhongliang, those people have already confessed." ” The boy kowtowed heavily again and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know that no one dares to admit guilt in any case tried by Lai Junchen, Your Majesty can think about it, and in one case that Your Majesty has handed over to Lai Junchen for trial over the years, he has found him not guilty."
The smile on Wu Zetian's face gradually solidified.
She suddenly thought that so far, Yang Fan seems to be the only one who has walked out of the magistrate's house with an innocent body, but Yang Fan was pardoned because Princess Taiping made a big fuss in court, and he was also sentenced to death before.
The boy said: "Your Majesty can choose any loyal person from your side, including the prime minister here, or the most favored Shangguan around your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty hands him over to Lai Junchen, saying that you suspect this person of rebellion, within ten days, Lai Junchen will definitely be able to prove that he is really rebelling."
Shangguan Wan'er and Li Zhaode subconsciously glanced at Wu Zetian, the frozen smile on Wu Zetian's face had dispersed, and she became expressionless, she said slowly: "Little baby, do you know that the case of Di Renjie and others rebelled, not only did they write the crime of detaining them and the death request form written by them, but I also sent a messenger to investigate, they had indeed not been tortured to extract confessions.
Who ordered you?"
Speaking of which, Wu Zetian's voice became more and more severe.
But Lejia Xiao'er is a newborn calf, not afraid of this tigress at all, he raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty favors Lai Junchen, how dare you tell the ministers of the court and the central government the truth, the people of the world, who doesn't know that Lai Junchen has always used Junfa torture to ask about the case, and the concealment is only His Majesty Although His Majesty sent someone to investigate, but Your Majesty thought that the people around him would not collude with the cool officials?"
If this sentence had been said before, I was afraid that Wu Zetian would only laugh it off.
However, the case of Wei Tuan'er accepting bribes from "Wu Sansi" and framing the prince and the crown princess just happened, and when Lejia Xiao'er said this, it had great power, as if a grand bell rang in Wu Zetian's heart, which shook her heart.
She suddenly felt fear, a strong fear, she is the emperor, can only sit in the deep palace, she is in charge of the world to rely on the civil and military officials in the court, she wants to understand the people of the world and the loyalty of the civil and military officials rely on the ears and eyes of the three law divisions, if it is really as this child said, the people around her are connected with these cool officials to deceive her, then a chill suddenly hit Wu Zetian's heart, after a while, she used a kind of attitude that was too serious for a child who was just nine years old, and said calmly: " You have reminded me that regardless of whether what you say is true or not, I have decided to pardon you and your family and return your confiscated mansion and belongings."
Lejia Xiaoer was stunned, suddenly kowtowed in ecstasy, tears flowed, he was a child after all, he had been forced to calm down for a long time, and had been carefully choosing the words that others taught him to play against the emperor, and then heard that he and his family had been pardoned, he finally recovered the nature of a child, and cried loudly.
Wu Zetian asked Xiaohai to take Lejia Xiao'er down, and said to Li Zhaode: "Children can't lie."
It would be terrible if this kid Lejia was telling the truth.
Prime Minister, Lai Junchen is the chief justice officer appointed by me, and I have also sent a messenger to investigate Di Renjie's case, do you think I can personally investigate this case?"
Li Zhaode's face became serious: "This is not in line with the law, Your Majesty" Li Zhaode sat up straight, and his voice was like a bell: "However, the law does not override everything, all the rules formulated by the imperial court are to maintain its rule, if there are some things that have endangered Your Majesty's country, your Majesty should immediately intervene, instead of being bound by the law."
People make rules for themselves to prevent trouble, not to create a big mess for themselves."
"You're right" Wu Zetian stood up and said solemnly: "Wan'er, immediately make a draft, Wu Youyi should lead the troops to the imperial envoy platform, Tidi Renjie and other cadres will enter the palace, and I will interrogate them personally."
Shangguan Wan'er made it, and after Wu Zetian saw it correctly, he used the seal and ordered someone to pass the decree to Wu Youyi.
Wu Cheng Hall suddenly fell silent, everyone was waiting quietly, Wu Zetian and Li Zhaode sat opposite each other, looking at each other speechlessly.
Wu Zetian's mind drifted far away, and she was thinking about a very serious problem.
If even the grassroots she pulled up like Lai Junchen is unreliable, how can she ensure that her ears and eyes are clear She has thought about all kinds of plans, but they are unrealistic, everyone has selfish intentions, no matter how reliable the person is, he has given him strong power, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be deceived by himself out of his own selfish interests, it seems that the best way is to re-establish the criminal department.
In the past, there was Zhou Xing in the Criminal Department, and there was Lai Junchen in the Yushitai, and the two restrained each other, at least they didn't dare to be too lawless, but now that Zhou Xing is dead, Lai Junchen covers the sky with one hand, this watchdog is about to be raised into a white-eyed wolf Li Zhaode is also thinking about a serious problem, how to ensure his vested interests and power.
In both public and private, he must rescue Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu, Pei Xingben and others, but if they are immediately reinstated, with their qualifications and prestige, they will have to go down.
"Let's put it down" Li Zhaode thought secretly: "I need to dry them first, and then I can come back when I sit down."
Li Zhaode's frowning brows unfolded slightly, Wu Zetian thought about his future plans, at this time he had already thought of a suitable candidate, her mood relaxed, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Zhaode's brows lightly moved, and couldn't help but smile: "Zhaode is thoughtful, but what did he think?"
Li Zhaode's heart flashed, and he hurriedly replied: "It's the minister who is thinking about how the court should deal with the aftermath if what Le Jia Xiaoer said is true." ” Wu Zetian was slightly surprised, and said: "What do you mean by the aftermath?"
Li Zhaode smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's three prime ministers, who were imprisoned for rebellion on the same day, and even the news that they were going to be executed spread all over the capital, now they are lightly sentenced: This is an unjust prison, so they will be released back, and the minister is worried that this will have a major impact on His Majesty's prestige and the prestige of the imperial court." ” Wu Zetian's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly groaned.
Wu Zetian pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Zhaode is thoughtful and worthy of being a prime minister.
I already know what to do. ” At this time, the chamberlain Xiao Hai reported inside, and said softly: "Everyone, Wu Youyi is ordered to bring Di Renjie and other prisoners here, and now wait to see him in the corridor."
Wu Zetian stood up and said to Li Zhao: "Let's go, today I will be personally tried in front of the emperor, and you, the Fengge squire and the prime minister of the court, will save the evidence for me."
The main hall of Wucheng Palace, the imperial case of Huang Aya's has been set up in the middle, there are two small tables on the left and right, there are four treasures of the study room on several cases, and there is a couch behind the case.
There were eight more chamberlains holding the Yiyue and standing in the back, while Gao Ying and Lan Yiqing held the dragon and phoenix treasure fan cross, standing solemnly behind the imperial case.
Wu Zetian sat down behind the imperial case, waved his hand, and signaled Shangguan Wan'er and Li Zhaode to sit behind the left and right sides respectively, with Shangguan Wan'er serving as the "record" and Prime Minister Li Zhaode serving as the "evidence", and commanding in a deep voice: "Come, bring a group of criminal ministers to the palace" Xiao Hai walked out quickly, stood under the porch and announced his will, Wu Youyi took seven warriors in the hundred horsemen, and each escorted a prisoner into the Wucheng Palace.
After the incident, the seven ministers who were arrested for the first time finally met with their emperor after a month and a half To be continued:
