Imperial historian Li Chengjia has recently become a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and Wang Tongjiao's case was presided over by him, and as a result, this case pulled the five princes off the horse, and Li Chengjia suddenly became famous all over the world.
Now, there is another case of slandering the queen and King Liang on Suzaku Street, and this case has been handed over to him again, Li Chengjia is both excited and apprehensive, this case has been successfully handled, and the position of the prince in the imperial history beckons to him.
But he was worried that King Liang still wanted to take the opportunity to rectify King Xiang and Princess Taiping.
Wang Tongjiao's case was originally intended to pull King Xiang and Princess Taiping into the water, but the civil and military officials were passionate, but fortunately, the emperor stopped in time and quickly turned the target to the five people of Zhang Cambodia, otherwise the hundred officials continued to make trouble, maybe the emperor would find a scapegoat to appease the anger of the public, and then his fate can be imagined.
Li Chengjia didn't worry for long, Liang Wang Wu Sansi told him that he must find out the real culprit this time, and did not hint that he would try to involve King Xiang and Princess Taiping in this case.
The method used by Li Chengjia is a stupid method, but it is very effective.
The poster on Suzaku Street was discovered early in the morning by the citizens of Chang'an, that is, the poster must have been posted the night before.
Li Chengjia broke down the case into every square in Chang'an through Chang'an and Wannian counties, and demanded a thorough investigation of all those who entered and exited the square after the curfew that night.
That night, after the curfew, only two families got married, and one went out to find a doctor in the middle of the night because of his father's sudden illness.
Li Chengjia transferred a large number of people from Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai, and cooperated with Wannian and Chang'an counties to investigate one person by one, and was sure that there was nothing suspicious about these people, so he targeted the court officials above the third grade, because only the court officials above the third grade could open the door directly to the street without going to the door.
In the important land of Kyoto, although there are many eunuchs like lackeys, there are not many three-rank officials, and there are even fewer three-rank officials adjacent to Suzaku Street, and Li Chengjia's goal was quickly narrowed, and finally locked in fourteen households, including the mansion of former Prime Minister Huan Yanfan.
These people are all big officials, and Li Chengjia didn't dare to directly send these officials for interrogation, but he had the support of the emperor, Empress Wei and King Liang, and he wanted to ask the servants of these families, but these officials were not easy to refuse.
What's more, the Son of Heaven is already furious, and who dares to refuse the investigation at this time will not appear to be weak-hearted Li Chengjia was the imperial history of the dynasty, and he was an envoy of judicial and criminal prosecution, and if he really wanted to ask him to ask about the case, he was indeed very skillful, and his shrewdness can be seen from his methodical narrowing down of the scope of investigation.
When he interrogated the servants of these families, he used some skill.
He went to the long street to see the posters, there were no less than dozens of them, and the posters were neatly worked, and it was difficult for a person to do these things on Suzaku Street, which was patrolled by Jin Wuwei, and there must be at least two or three people who posted the posters.
And those who do such things must be the master's henchmen or the slaves and maidservants of the children of the family, and those hired long-term and short-term laborers, and the servants who can carry people away at any time, cannot be arranged by the master to be so sent.
As soon as it became clear that the person was not the steward of the master's family, the housekeeper, or the slave or maid of the family's son, Li Chengjia immediately released him, and for some suspicious people, he arranged for them to be interrogated separately, either by intimidation or by deception, in order to find clues.
The people Li Chengjia found were all experienced in handling cases, and after being seconded, they were all paid three salaries, and once anyone found out about it, he immediately asked the emperor to make an official.
With these bounties, how can those public servants not work hard.
None of these wealthy servants are habitual offenders of the Annihilation Section, a group of shrewd and cunning old officials, interrogating a group of wealthy domestic servants who have no experience in dealing with interrogations, Huan Yanfan's actions that he thought were seamless and had no handle were actually cracked by an old team leader in Wannian County who had handled cases for 30 years and dealt with all kinds of prisoners.
This old team leader inquired about a slave born to a son of the Huan family, and signed a deed of sale with the Huan family.
The public put out the torture instrument to intimidate a little, and he showed some flaws when he had a ghost in his heart, and as soon as the head of the team saw that there was a door, he immediately coaxed and frightened, and deliberately went in and out a few times, falsely claiming that his companion had confessed, and this person panicked and actually recruited.
The old team was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he could change from an official to an official, and he jumped over the dragon gate in one step, so happy that he looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and then personally escorted the Huan Mansion servant to find Li Yushi as if he were offering treasures.
Li Chengjia was also overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to arrest the housekeeper of Huan Mansion and another person who posted the notice, and questioned them with a big punishment, but the two couldn't survive the big punishment and confessed one after another.
Li Chengjia escorted the prisoners to find the ditch where they had discarded the brushes and pulp barrels, scooped up the evidence, and then diligently reported to King Liang.
The results of the case were quickly reported to Li Xian, who was furious when he saw the confession, and immediately ordered the arrest of Zhang Khan and the other five people, and immediately summoned all the prime ministers and officials of the three legal departments to discuss the punishment of the five people.
Wu Sansi finally caught the real culprit of the rumors, and for a while he raised his eyebrows, and he said viciously to Li Xian: "Your Majesty, they spread rumors like this, slandered the queen, and insulted Your Majesty, they should all be punished with the canonical punishment and the law of the country."
Li Chaoyin, the Cheng of Dali Temple, objected: "King Liang is slow, there is no confession from Zhang Khan Zhi and others, and it is not in line with the law of our dynasty to kill such ministers in a hurry without interrogation." ” Li Xian viciously slapped the case and said: "Then try him, try him convincingly" When Cheng Xiao Zhizhong saw the witnesses and exhibits in the imperial history, he knew that the case could not be overturned, and he couldn't help but secretly complain that Huan Yan Fan Li made Zhi faint.
Now that there are human and material evidence, even if they are retried, how can they grit their teeth and not recruit them, and if there are ready-made evidence, they can still turn the sky upside down Even without these evidences, according to the Tang law of three confessions, the confessions of the two servants of this housekeeper are enough to convict Zhang Cambodia and others.
Xiao Zhizhong had an idea, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Cambodia and others have made meritorious contributions in helping His Majesty ascend the throne, and this matter is heard all over the world.
Now that this case has been tried, the whole world knows that it was the five heroes who deliberately slandered the queen and insulted His Majesty's reputation. ” "This" Li Xian also had a big headache when he heard it, although he was really mean and unkind, he didn't want to be poked in his backbone by the world.
Pei Tan, the waiter of the Criminal Department, intends to curry favor with Empress Wei and Wu Sansi.
He immediately went out and said, "As long as Your Majesty decrees that they be killed by edict, then even if they do not pass a public trial, it is in accordance with the law." ” "Minister's opposition" Song Jing, a member of the Fengge House, was originally recorded on the side, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, what crime is it for killing people with special purpose, and what crime is it punished for not teaching, how can the people of the world be convinced, whether it is a special purpose to kill or a special purpose to pardon, although it is the privilege of the Son of Heaven, it cannot be easily used."
Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the Son of Heaven has the right to amnesty, but there is no one Son of Heaven who uses it in vain, so when the Great Holy Empress of Heaven was there, she used the right of amnesty for the sake of Erzhang, and the result is that the law cannot be messed up, Zhang Cambodia and others are not guilty, and they should be judged impartially, and if the Son of Heaven kills him with his privilege, he will be criticized by the people of the world. ” Song Jing was pardoned along with Wei Yuanzhong.
At the beginning, Erzhang wanted Song Jing to falsely accuse Wei Yuanzhong, but Song Jing refused, and as a result, he was exiled to Lingnan with Wei Yuanzhong, Li Xian ascended the throne to pardon Wei Yuanzhong and return to the court, and Song Jing naturally returned to the imperial court.
It's just that Wei Yuanzhong has been waiting for four generations of emperors since Gaozong in his life, during which he has been belittled many times, and now he is over seventy years old and has long been depressed.
Especially when he returned to the dynasty this time, he saw that the minister who supported the Son of Heaven ascended the throne had changed from a prime minister to a prisoner within a year, which made him even more chilled.
Therefore, now Wei Yuanzhong has simply become the second in Su Wei, ambiguous in his work, and never said a word about political disputes, and now seeing that Zhang Cambodia and others are in danger, Wei Yuanzhong is also silent, but Song Jing is young and vigorous, and he came forward to argue.
Wu Sansi was furious, squinted at Song Jing and said, "According to what you say, if you want to maintain the reputation of the Son of Heaven, you have to turn a blind eye to their crimes."
Song Jing lowered his eyes and threw this problem to the Son of Heaven: "Song didn't say that, Song just talked about things."
The previous time, because of Wang Tongjiao's incident, the imperial court announced that Huan Yanfan, Zhang Cambodia and others had disagreements with King Liang's politics, so they instigated Wang Tongjiao to assassinate King Liang.
Although this crime is unforgivable, its feelings are pitiful, and it does not affect the affection of His Majesty and Zhang Cambodia and others.
Now, if Huan Yanfan and others ignore His Majesty's dignity and post notices on the long street to slander the queen, Huan Yanfan and others deserve to be punished, but the monarch and the ministers will be evil, and I am afraid that His Majesty's reputation will also be damaged.
The minister couldn't think of a compromise, just for His Majesty's sake, and had to say. ” Li Xian was dumbfounded, silent for a long time, and then said: "That's it, this case should be regarded as a headless public case."
Wu Sansi took a step forward and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that Huan Yanfan and others" Li Xiandao: "Passing the decree, Huan Yanfan, Zhang Cambodia and others instigated Wang Tongjiao to assassinate the minister, and after the defeat, they were punished by demotion of officials.

Exile Zhang Cambodia to Luzhou, Jinghui to Qiongzhou, Huan Yanfan to Yingzhou, and Yuan Shuji to Huanzhou" Li Xian said in one breath the decision to deal with Huan Yanfan and the others, was silent for a while, and then said: "The children of these families, all men over the age of sixteen, are exiled to Lingnan.
And, take back the Danshu iron coupons" Huan Yanfan and others were in the right place at the right time, with the help of a group of key people, and successfully did a great thing, but they really have the ability to strategize, and they really have the ability to match the prime minister's talent.
During the tenure of the prime minister, in terms of the national economy and people's livelihood, the five prime ministers did not make any achievements.
After taking charge of the government, they forgot who the power came from, and it only took more than a month to completely fight with the emperor, pushing the emperor to the side of Liang Wang Wu Sansi, and making another big political mistake.
After that, they refused to admit defeat and tried to fight back with very clumsy means, and as a result, they completely buried themselves.
Five families, including 82-year-old Zhang Cambodia, were driven out of the capital and left their once-glorious city of Chang'an forever under the escort of soldiers.
Chang'an City returned to calm, and did not cause any sensation because of the departure of the five of them, the people still lived their own lives, and the thrilling bloody wind in the court was always just a little talk after their tea and dinner.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, and I know that the trees are singing tirelessly, and the singers are drowsy.
Li Chongjun wore a pair of calf-nosed pants, sat shirtless on a mat in the shade of a tree, and drank wine with a sullen expression.
Li Chengquan came from a distance, Li Chongjun glanced at him, didn't speak, just poured a bowl of wine down.
Li Chengquan was also polite, sat casually at the table, and asked him, "What, the prince has something on his mind" Li Chongjun put down the wine bowl and said hatefully: "Then An Le is more and more presumptuous, she doesn't take me as a prince in her eyes at all, and today she humiliated me in public again, this is not counted, she also said that even if she is the crown princess, she is better than me as the crown prince, in front of many ministers, it is really unreasonable." ” Li Chongjun said as he spoke, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Li Chengquan stopped talking, glanced at him secretly, suddenly sighed heavily, took a wine bowl, poured a bowl for himself, and drank it with a bitter face.
Li Chongjun said: "What, you have something to say" Li Chengjing let out a long breath and lowered his voice: "The prince's situation is really not very good. ” Li Chongjun's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said, "How do you say this?"
Li Chengguo said: "Song Jing was driven out of the capital because he spoke for Huan Yanfan and others, and was demoted to Bingzhou to be the chief historian, and Li Chaoyin was also demoted to Wenxi County for the same reason, you know this."
Li Chongjun said inexplicably: "I know, what's wrong?"
Li Chengguo said: "Now, Wei Jie, Wei Hao, Wei Bo, Wei Xuan and others of the Wei family have been appointed to important positions, and the power of Empress Wei is great, and he is colluded with the Wu family, who can stop you, don't forget, Princess An Le is the queen's biological daughter, the queen's biological son is dead, if the Wei family continues to grow, An Le may not be able to become the queen's daughter." ” Li Chongjun sneered: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a crown princess" Li Chengquan said: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a female emperor, but this dynasty has" Lee Chongjun suddenly changed color.
Li Cheng said: "Prince, do you know what happened to Huan Yanfan and those people now?"
Li Chongjun was surprised: "Aren't they exiled to Lingnan?"
Li Chengquan smiled bitterly and said: "Prince, don't just stare at such a big place in the palace, you should also look at the world."
That's right, Huan Yanfan and the others have been exiled to Lingnan, and it is impossible for them to threaten anyone anymore, but you know what happened to them."
Li Chongjun's eyes lit up and said, "Why did something happen to them?"
Li Chengquan took a long breath and said: "Zhang Cambodia is old and frail, and he is sick with hatred, and he can't afford to be sick when he first arrives in Xinzhou, and he has already passed away.
Zhang Cambodia is 82 years old, and his life is over, although he died of illness, he can be regarded as the end of his life, and he is very lucky.
And Huan Yanfan was miserable, he was caught up by Zhou Lizhen, the minion of King Liang on the way to escort, and ordered someone to tie him up and drag him on the cut bamboo stake, the bamboo was as sharp as a knife after being cut, Huan Yanfan was dragged and bruised all over the body, and the flesh was scraped off by the bamboo stake, revealing the white bones of Sensen, and he was tortured to death. ” Li Chongjun's body trembled, and his heart was a little frightened.
Li Chengjing said again: "Jinghui is even more miserable, he was sent by Wu Sansi to kill him.
And Yuan Shuji was poured into the poisonous wild kudzu vine juice, and he burned for a while, so painful that he grabbed the soil with his hands, his nails were worn out, and his arms sank deep into the soil, and finally he was alive."
Li Chongjun shouted: "Don't say it again. ” Li Chengquan closed his mouth, and after a while, he sighed softly: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots."
I'm only worried that with His Majesty's favor for An Le and his always obedient to the queen's words, after the Wei family continues to grow, do you think that the people of the Wei family want you to be the emperor, or do they want people with Wei family blood to be the emperor King Liang is now controlling half of my dynasty, do you say that he wants his daughter-in-law to be the empress, or do you come to do it At that time, not only will you not be able to protect the throne, I am afraid that the end will be better than Huan Yanfan and Yuan Shuji."
"Enough" Li Chongjun stood up with a loud shout, he gasped heavily, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes flashed with fear and madness.
Li Chongjun wandered around like a beast for a long time, and suddenly knelt on the ground again, climbed a few steps towards Li Chengjing, grabbed his hand as if begging, and said: "Chengqing, you say, what should I do now?"
Li Chengquan said in a deep voice: "The first strike is strong, prince, if you want to keep the throne and keep your surname, you have to make a decision." ” Li Chongjun suddenly shriveled to the ground, and muttered: "How should I decide that King Xiang has nothing to do with me, and I have never been familiar with Aunt Taiping, what should I do?"
Li Cheng said: "The prince is really confused.
When Zhang Cambodia pulled down the throne of Emperor Zetian, what prince did they have in their hands Now they only need a team of people to listen to your mobilization, it doesn't take too much, just be able to control Da Nei, after the matter is done, do you think that King Xiang and Princess Taiping will not recognize you as the emperor" Li Chongjun looked at Li Chengquan and said abruptly: "Although the army is the crown prince, there are six soldiers and horses under his command, but these six soldiers and horses have not been handed over to me, and now they are in the hands of the queen's cousin Wei Jie." ” A hint of treachery flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, and he said: "The prince has so many friends in the army who have a good relationship, isn't it worth it?"
Li Chongjun suddenly said: "Yes, they are all officers of Yulin Weizhong, if they can help Yu Gu" Li Chongjun suddenly hesitated again: "But this kind of headless thing, are they willing to die for Lonely?"
Li Chongjun said word by word: "Once the support is successful, you are the Son of Heaven, they are the ministers of the dragon, people die for money, birds die for food, as long as you bribe for heavy profits, who can resist this" : Sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets To be continued
