It was obviously a spring moon, but the atmosphere in the Zichen Hall was like a harsh winter.

It was so cold that it almost froze my soul.

And the source of all the cold comes from the Tang Emperor, Tian Khan, and His Majesty Li Zhi.

This gentle-looking emperor, with his fat face, his eyes slightly squinted, and the occasional fine light showed that his heart was fighting fiercely.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Just when Su Dawei thought that Li Zhi would remain silent like this.

He finally heard Li Zhi ask, "Who else knows about this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister found out about this last night, and immediately went back and forth to Your Majesty, and no one else knew."

Li Zhi was silent again.

The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids trembled one by one.

Even the officials who recorded the emperor's daily notes couldn't help but tremble their wrists when they put pen to paper on the file.

The content of Su Dawei's conversation with Li Zhi at this time is not trivial.

This is likely to make waves again in the stable court, and even single-handedly change the political pattern of the Li Zhi Dynasty during the Lin De period.

I don't know how many people will fall to the ground, and how many high-ranking officials will fall into the dust.

Also, how many of these people in the Zichen Hall today will survive?

Extinguish?

Some people who don't want to spread the word of the foreign dynasty selectively remove a group of eunuchs and palace maids around them, which is a common practice.

It's like cleaning the house and changing a set of furniture.

In the whole hall, the needle drop can be heard.

The rapid breathing of countless people and the sound of frantic heartbeats were masked under a dead silence.

"How many pieces of armor?"

Li Zhi finally spoke again.

"Seven."

Su Dawei's answer made Li Zhi's fingers stagnate slightly, and the action of stroking on the top stopped.

Seven bodies, say a lot less, say more but not too much.

If there are two or three, then it is not much of a threat.

If there are more than 10 bodies, there will be no forgiveness.

These seven are just stuck in the middle.

And Li Zhi still has a suspicion, could it be that someone is causing trouble to Li Yifu?

Except for Li Yifu, who can benefit?

What kind of changes will the balance of power in the court have?

He was thinking.

As for Su Dawei, he didn't doubt his intentions too much.

Even in this conversation, one point that has not been mentioned is "Why did you Su Dawei visit the Zhongshu Ling Mansion at night?" ”。

Both sides are well aware of this problem.

If you ask, you will fall down.

Su Dawei knew that Li Zhi told Su Dawei through the information of the Ducha Temple that the Son of Heaven wanted to redivide the power of the Ducha Temple and weaken and rebalance.

So Su Dawei naturally has a grudge against Li Yifu.

Attacking Li Yifu is unreasonable, but reasonable.

And Su Dawei also knew that Li Zhi knew about this situation.

Therefore, the two sides had a tacit understanding and did not mention this topic.

Although Li Zhi guarded against Su Dawei, this was based on the consideration of the emperor's mental skills, and he did not really doubt Su Dawei's loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

Otherwise, Su Dawei would not have been given the opportunity again and again, so that Su Dawei could repeatedly make meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

As for the matter of Li Yifu, Su Dawei has the motive to investigate, but he has no motive to blame.

Blaming the court and the central government ordered it, which not only underestimated Li Yifu, but also insulted Li Zhi's IQ.

However, this does not rule out whether there are other forces in the DPRK and China, or individuals, who want to get rid of Li Yifu.

After all, as Li Zhi's white gloves, over the years, Li Yifu has acted recklessly and offended too many people.

This kind of courtier, belonging to the lonely minister, once he loses power, will fall down the wall and everyone will push it, break the drum and beat it by thousands of people, and die without a place to bury.

"I know about it."

Li Zhi said slowly and solemnly: "Su Dawei, do you have anything else to do?" ”

Su Dawei was shocked in his heart.

There was obviously a hint of alienation in His Majesty's words, could it be that he was suspicious of me?

But soon, Su Dawei reacted.

Li Zhi did not express his position, which is the biggest attitude.

This case is not trivial.

Li Zhi will definitely investigate, but he will never let the Ducha Temple intervene again.

Moreover, this time, Su Dawei took the Tianzi group of Ducha Temple to sneak into Li Yifu's mansion without obtaining Li Zhi's will, which has aroused Li Zhi's vigilance.

So next, Li Zhi's arrangements for Ducha Temple may even be advanced.

Prevent the further expansion of the power of the temple.

Focus on preventing Su Dawei's influence in it from expanding.

As for the matter of Li Yifu's Tibetan Armor and Jinbao Divine Pillow, Li Zhi will investigate according to other important ministers, and he will inevitably investigate the place where the water falls.

Today's Son of Heaven has left a stereotype of "cowardice" and "benevolence" to future generations.

But in the times, Su Dawei knows very well that Li Zhi is shrewd and strong.

This son of heaven, but he can't rub a grain of sand in his eyes.

There are so many things in the world of the Tang Dynasty, which one can escape His Majesty's eyes.

"Ami, do you think Li Yifu has anything to do with Gao Yang's case?"

Li Zhi suddenly spoke, which made Su Da stunned.

He thought for a while and said, "The minister doesn't dare to say anything, but the treasure pillow was originally the princess's personal thing, and it was also involved in witch spells, and several mages of the Great Ci'en Temple knew about these things. ”

"I see."

Li Zhi patted the armrest: "You continue to investigate Gao Yang's case, don't be distracted by other things." ”

"Yes."

Su Dawei said in his heart: Sure enough, it was as he thought.

As long as Li Zhi can be suspicious of Li Yifu, his trip to the palace today will not be in vain.

The goal is half done.

It was estimated that Li Zhi should be tired of it, and just as Su Dawei was preparing to get acquainted, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

I only heard a little eunuch standing outside the hall singing: "Your Majesty, the waiter of Dongtai asks to see you." ”

Li Zhi raised his hand and waved it to the side, originally wanting to make Su Dawei retreat, but suddenly changed his mind: "Su Dawei, you are waiting on the side, your ears are up, and your mouth is closed." ”

"Whoa."

Su Dawei didn't know what Li Zhi thought.

But since he was ordered to wait, he obediently walked to the side of the middle of the hall, with his back to a large pillar of red paint, and stood with his hands down.

Just like the eunuchs and palace maids who served in the palace, they looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and they no longer made a sound.

Li Zhi stretched out his hand and gestured, and Wang Fusheng, who was standing beside him, raised his voice and said, "Spread the Dongtai squire to see him." ”

As he spoke, he quietly raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Outside the main hall.

Dongtai waiter Hao Chujun stood silently.

His face was calm and his eyes were piercing.

Although his head is full of silver threads, he still looks energetic, which makes people dare not despise it.

Hearing the sound of summons in the hall, Hao Chujun tidied up his official uniform, held the wat board with both hands, and walked into the hall with square steps.

"Minister, Dongtai squire Hao Chujun, see Your Majesty."

Hao Chujun stood in the hall, holding the wat board with both hands, and bowed solemnly to Li Zhi.

"No courtesy."

Li Zhixu raised his right hand: "Dongtai Shilang asks to see, but there is something important?" ”

"There is indeed one thing, and the minister can't make up his mind, so he asks to see His Majesty."

Hao Chujun's words were finished.

Li Zhi couldn't help but glance at Su Dawei, who was standing on the side of the main hall.

This glance is a bit complicated.

There is a sense of "just like you".

There is another kind, "Don't you know everything in the temple, but do you know what the Dongtai squire is for"?

Such several emotions.

Su Dawei stood there, thinking quickly in his heart.

But on his face, he was very serious, and his face was expressionless, like Li Siwen at the beginning.

For Li Zhi's look, he understood.

However, he better understood what Li Zhi meant by letting him bring his ears and shut up before.

Look more, don't say.

Look at it silently, a true gentleman.

On a day when it is not a big court meeting, the important ministers of the court suddenly ask to see him, which must be something important.

Sure enough, after getting Li Zhi's approval, Hao Chujun solemnly said: "The minister came this time to receive several important excerpts, these excerpts are all in the Chinese book to make Li Yifu corrupt and pervert the law, and the people are very resentful, and the minister does not dare to be arbitrary, please Your Majesty to check it." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few folds from his sleeve and offered them with both hands.

Eunuch Wang Fusheng carefully glanced at Li Zhi's expression.

At this time, Li Zhi's expression was expressionless.

Not long ago, when Su Dawei talked about Li Yifu, Li Zhi was unusually serious, even indifferent.

But for now, it's calm.

This is still anomalous.

Dongtai Shilang is the former subordinate province of the past, responsible for reviewing the courtiers' chapters, reviewing the edicts of the Chinese book, and if there are those who think it is improper, they can be dismissed, called "sealing and refutation", which is a deliberative body.

Therefore, Hao Chujun received the excerpts from the ministers below, and he had the responsibility to deliberate, and if he encountered major problems, he could directly report to Li Zhiyu.

He came this time as part of his duties.

It's not surprising.

It's strange, the timing is so good, it just happened that Su Dawei finished talking about Li Yifu, and Dongtai Shilang came to hand over the excerpt of impeachment of Li Yifu.

Is there such a coincidence?

According to Li Zhi's character, he must be suspicious.

But now, he didn't have a trace of expression on his face, and he was terribly calm.

Li Zhi's fingers moved slightly.

Wang Fusheng, who knew him well, hurriedly bowed and nodded, then walked down quickly, walked in front of Hao Chujun, took the fold, and walked up quickly, placing the fold on the table in front of Li Zhi.

"Your Majesty."

"Read."

Wang Fusheng nodded hurriedly and stretched out his hand to uncover the first fold.

At a glance, his body seemed to shake slightly, licked his lips, and said in a low voice: "Right Jin Wu Cangcao joined the army Yang Xingying reported Li Yifu, saying: Li Yifu asked the eldest grandson Wuji's grandson, Changsun Yan, for 700 yuan, and was awarded the post of Sijin supervisor. ”

"Counsel the doctor to impeach Li Yifu and privately occupy the outside of Chang'an City, and the people have 200 acres of land......"

"Xitai Shilang impeached Li Yifu, presided over the election, and sold ...... privately"

Election refers to the system of electing officials.

Officials above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty were appointed by the emperor, and officials below the sixth rank were appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and military attachés were appointed by the Ministry of War.

Now, the right to choose is handed over to Li Yifu.

That is, the personnel of the Tang Dynasty officials were promoted and appointed, and Li Yifu was in charge of the direction, and he only needed to report the results to Li Zhi.

Is there any room for fraud?

Absolutely.

At the end of last year, Li Zhi heard the rumors and talked to Li Yifu in private, reminding him to pay attention to restraint.

But judging from these things now, Li Yifu not only did not listen, but intensified.

Su Dawei noticed that every time Wang Fusheng said a word, Li Zhi's face became ugly.

But an even more terrible impeachment memorab, along with Wang Fusheng's mouth, was read out.

"Xitai Shilang impeached Zhongshu Ling Li Yifu, and the palace invited the warlock Du Yuan Ji Wangqi."

Groov!

Su Dawei seemed to hear the sound of some kind of balance line being torn apart in the air.
