Li Dan knew that Lai Junchen's impeachment of him was imminent, and he knew that Princess Taiping, Wu Chengsi and others were determined to join forces to fight back, but he still didn't dare to write a word, instructing the courtiers who were still loyal to him to cooperate in the action, he was worried that once the matter was revealed, it would become evidence against him.
In the end, it was Li Chengqi, Li Longji and other princes who repeatedly insisted, and specially explained that they could indicate at the end of the letter, "It will be burned after reading."
Li Dan trembled and agreed to sign the reply letter and stamped it with the prince's seal.
Li Longji sent Gao Lishi, who was carrying a secret letter, to the outside of the palace, stretched out his hand to untie his Liuyun Baifu jade pendant, stuffed it into Gao Lishi's hand, and said: "My father-in-law took the risk to spread the news and save my father and son from danger.
This jade pendant is a little bit of Xiao Wang's heart, please accept it from your father-in-law."
Li Longji was placed under house arrest in the East Palace, and there was no monthly income at all, this jade pendant was still what he wore when he was driven out of the palace and imprisoned in the East Palace, and it was one of his only few belongings.
Where is Gao Lishi willing to accept his things, and hurriedly excused himself.
Li Longji said sincerely: "This little thing, how can it be worth the father-in-law's death to arraign; This little thing, how can I buy Xiao Wang's life, Xiao Wang gave it to his father-in-law, just take it as a token, if my father and son can be free again in the future, I will never forget the grace of today's father-in-law's help, if my father-in-law can afford Xiao Wang's promise, please accept it" Gao Lishi hesitated for a moment, carefully took the jade pendant into his arms, and gave a long bow to this little prince who was the same age as him and had a calm temperament, and said respectfully: "In this way, the slave and maid thank the prince for the reward."
Li Longji nodded, watching Gao Lishi turn around and walk out, with an unusual meaning in his eyes.
Although he was young, all kinds of hardships made him far more mature than his peers, and he had begun to pay attention to seizing every opportunity to win over the available people.
On the side of the Yishui River, the fish float on the sparkling water surface sank suddenly, Yang Fan's wrist was hurriedly raised, and a silver glittering fat fish jumped out of the water alive.
Yang Fan quickly brought the fish in front of him, picked the hook and put it in the fish basket, put another fish worm, threw the silk thread, threw it into the river, and said calmly: "Since everything is ready, let's do it."
Ren Wei stood behind him and said respectfully: "As far as the sect master sees, who should be the first to attack?"
Yang Fan held the fishing rod in his hand and replied indifferently: "Wu Chenghei is cunning, he will not bite the hook easily, so let's ask the prince's people to do it first."
"Yes" Yang Fan turned around and said: "The people on the prince's side have been almost killed by the emperor, and the rest of the people are very hidden, even it is difficult for us to know for sure which people are loyal to the prince.
These people are friends today, and it may not be impossible for us to be our opponents in the future."
"Obedience" Ren Wei gave a long sigh and turned to leave The next morning, Wu Zetian just sent troops to Liaodong to quell the rebellion and asked Yao Chong, the squire of the military department, about the progress of the transfer, and a little eunuch came forward to report: "Your Majesty, supervise the imperial history and ask for a meeting."
The official position of supervising the imperial history is not high, and they are not qualified to go to the court to accompany them, but they are the imperial history, if they want to impeach someone, they can go to the court at any time to see the driver, so as soon as the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty heard that there was an imperial history asking to see, they immediately understood that this was to impeach the minister, and there was inevitably some commotion in the civil and military class.
Wu Zetian was a little surprised, and ordered: "Announce him to see" Ji Luzhong is more than sixty years old, and he is already an old minister, although there are many officials in Beijing who are like cattle and horses, and there are few ministers in the court who can recognize them, but Ji Luzhong has been in the Yushitai all his life, and the Yushitai is to supervise hundreds of officials, so there are no officials in this yamen who have been in the yamen for a long time and the powerful people in the court do not know each other.
Ji Luzhong's official reputation is honest, and he is even respected by the government and the opposition, and he has been impeached in the past, but there has not been a single incident that has been caught in the wind and shadows, and there is no evidence in the investigation, and this person has never been attached to the powerful, and he is only dedicated to the court, and even Wu Zetian has great respect for this Geng Zhong old minister.
After a while, the will was handed down, Ji Luzhong strode up to the hall, and all the civil and military officers were a little stunned when they saw Ji Luzhong holding a court robe and an official hat, and wearing a kudzu robe.
Wu Zetian narrowed a pair of presbyopia, saw Ji Luzhong's appearance clearly, and felt a little strange in his heart: "What is Lao Ji going to do, do you want to tell the old man to return to his hometown?"
Ji Luzhong didn't look aside, walked up to the main hall, and bowed to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile and asked: "Ji Qing, you don't wear court clothes, why did you come to the palace like this?"
Ji Luzhong said: "The old minister went to the palace today to impeach Jingzhao Yin Lai Junchen The old minister knows that Lai Junchen has been trusted by His Majesty and has great authority in the court.
If he can't sue him, the old minister is willing to resign immediately and return to his hometown, die of old age, and never participate in the government again."
Wu Zetian was displeased when he heard this, and reprimanded: "Ji Qing's words are too formless, the imperial history supervises hundreds of officials, hears about things, and holds the national criminal constitution and rules to correct the court, this is the right given by the dynasty, no matter whether what is said is conclusive or not, who can blame you, how can Lai Junchen ever be so domineering."
Speak up, for I am your master of everything."
Ji Luzhong said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Lai Junchen, it was Wan Guojun, Huang Jingrong and other cool officials who slaughtered people and forced the border wasters to impeach him for murder and cruelty.
During the period when he was demoted to the same state, he coerced his colleagues, forcibly demanded his wife, and took it for himself, and he was shameless, and the people's resentment was boiling.
The impeachment of the ministers, pile by pile, or there is witness, or material evidence, is by no means a false accusation, and please let Your Majesty know it."
Ji Luzhong's words were loud, and the whole hall was in an uproar.
Someone dared to impeach Lai Junchen, which undoubtedly hit the excitement of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, but only sued Junchen No one is optimistic about Ji Luzhong, and some officials who have a good impression of him are already full of compassion when they look at him, and they seem to have seen the tragic future of this old Ji.
Wu Zetian knows that he is loyal and sincere, and he will not impeach an official easily, but once an official is impeached, he must have solid evidence.
The Yushitai group of people in southern Xinjiang were unjustly imprisoned, in order to regain the court's attention to their role, which Wu Zetian had long known; And Junchen likes women, and she has also heard Gorou and Rokuro laugh and talk about it in the harem, so thinking about it, I'm afraid that the impeachment charges of Ji Luzhong are all true.
Wu Zetian's subordinates now have not many minions, and they really don't want to use this obedient watchdog anymore, so they can't help but hesitate for a while, not knowing whether to take over the case.
If he doesn't take it, Ji Luzhong will even put out the posture of telling the old man to return to his hometown, such an obvious protection, wouldn't he have the virtue of being a good man and accepting advice, so that the officials laugh at their injustice.
If next, if Ji Luzhong comes up with real evidence on the spot, then Junchenzhi will not be cured As soon as Lai Junchen heard that someone was impeached, he had to follow the rules, remove his hat without a crown, stand in front of the literary class, bow his head and listen to the ginseng, gritted his teeth in his heart, and secretly thought about how to return the color.
Wu Chengsi saw the empress's hesitation, his heart was dark, and he was a little out of breath.
He originally planned to let others come forward first, wait and see how he looked, and then decide his own advance and retreat, but now he was eager to find out his aunt's attitude towards the heir, but he couldn't care about that, and immediately gave Zhang Jiafu, the person from the Fengge house, a look.
As soon as Zhang Jiafu saw his master's instructions, he went out and said: "Your Majesty, there has long been a discussion among the government and the opposition, saying that Junchen used torture to slander people and slander people's crimes, so that the Manchu civil and military forces dare not speak.
The current Ji Yushi not only impeached Lai Junchen, but also hoped that His Majesty should be obedient to the people of heaven and strictly investigate the case, guilty or innocent, and only after the investigation can the people of the world be given justice" "Seconded by the Minister" As soon as Zhang Jiafu's voice fell, many officials such as Zhao Gan of the Tianguan Mansion and Cui Xiang, the examiner, came out to echo him, and Wu Zetian had no choice but to order: "Lai Junchen listened to the case of Ji Luzhong's impeachment of Lai Junchen behind closed doors, and ordered the Qiuguan Yamen to conduct an investigation and trial.
Ji Qing can transfer a cadre of personal evidence and physical evidence to the Qiuguan Yamen, and tell the old man to return to his hometown, and Hugh will mention it again" "It turns out that Ji Luzhong is the prince's person, this old man is hiding deeply, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have found out."
On the way back to the city, Yang Fan teased the two children and said to Ren Wei: "This fire has been burned, and all aspects will go all out."
We need to take this opportunity to find out who belongs to which side, record all of them, and monitor them from now on."
Ren Wei agreed, and quickly conveyed Yang Fan's instructions Since the Criminal Department took over the investigation of Lai Junchen, the people of the crown prince Li Dan, the people of the heirs of King Wu of Wei, the people of Princess Taiping, and even the party of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yi have been mixed in, criticized and impeached.

There are already many books about Lai Junchen's crimes, and now if he wants to rectify him, the charges are naturally easy to come by.
According to the rules, Lai Junchen was originally just listening behind closed doors, but as his crimes continued to increase, Wu Zetian couldn't protect him, so he had to order him to be arrested in the prison of the Criminal Department.
Only two days later, Wei Suizhong, under the instruction of Wu Sansi, came forward to testify, saying that Junchen had drunk and talked wildly, and boasted of Shile.
Shi Le was the Emperor of Later Zhao, who was originally a slave, then became a general from a slave, and then from a general to an emperor.
Lai Junchen was a splash at the beginning, but now he is a big official, and he claims to be Shile, doesn't that mean he wants to rebel and become the emperor Poor Lai Junchen didn't know who Shi Le was, he didn't know this person at all, let alone Shi Le's life.
It's just that in this way, Lai Junchen's crimes were increased layer by layer, and he finally rushed to death.
However, Wu Zetian still did not have the idea of executing Lai Junchen, which was due to the fact that Lai Junchen offended too many people, just because he offended many people, so Wu Zetian believed that many impeachments were out of personal vendetta.
And because there are so many people who come to Junchen to offend, she believes that Lai Junchen can only rely on herself.
As for the rebellion, Wu Zetian can only laugh, whoever rebels is possible, someone like Lai Junchen rebels, who in the world will follow him The charge of rebellion has always been the most powerful means to eradicate political enemies by Wu Zetian's hands, and it has almost been tried and tested, but now even this charge can't help Lai Junchen, and the informant is still Lai Junchen's former confidant, Rao is so, Wu Zetian doesn't believe it, this Lai Junchen has really become a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.
Faced with such an indifferent reaction from the emperor, Wu Chengsi was even more afraid: "With so many crimes, the emperor doesn't want to kill Junchen, could it be that the emperor really wants to borrow his hand to eradicate this king and all the opponents who hinder King Liang's ascension to the throne is not Jiafu, how should King Gu be good now?"
In Yang Fan's study, Yang Fan was also asking his henchmen about this matter: "Ren Wei" Guantianbu, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"
Ren Wei said: "The people of the Heaven Viewing Department carefully studied the people who had been eliminated by the empress over the years, and they found that there were only four kinds of people who the empress wanted to kill the most.
The first is those who have a grudge against the empress, and this kind of person has been killed before the empress ascends the throne; The second type is a disobedient person, and Lai Junchen is obviously not; The third is those who are a threat to the throne" Yang Fan said: "It is obviously impossible for Lai Junchen to pose any threat to the throne, and Wu Chenghei instructed Wei Suizhong to put such a charge on Lai Junchen, which is completely self-defeating." ” Ren Wei said: "It's the fourth type, that is, people who have completely lost their use value and continue to keep them, but will affect the authority of the empress."
Yang Fan groaned slightly and said, "Obviously, this is the only way to get rid of Lai Junchen."
Those officials whose identities are usually hidden, but in fact belong to Er Zhang, the Wu clan and Princess Taiping, have already figured it out."
"Yes" Yang Fan smiled and said: "Okay, then let's start now, let Lai Junchen become a street rat":
