Chapter 146: The Imperial Front (I)
A storm brewed in Chang'an City in the afternoon, and under the calm surface, there were undercurrents surging continuously.
Standing in line and gaining and losing have become the questions that everyone who has a premonition that the storm is coming, and Li Chengqian, who is sleeping, has also been informed by the old man: Go to court tomorrow.
Li Chengqian turned over on the couch and said to the attendant who came to deliver the message that he knew, and then continued to sleep.
Before deciding to engage Wang Wenzhao, Li Chengqian had this psychological preparation, as early as when Lao Li was preparing to deal with the family and the scholar clan, the two sides were destined to be a life-and-death situation, and it is not bad to see it a little earlier now.
The time of the night passed in a flash, and in the expectation of countless people, the gates of the imperial city opened and the crowd poured in.
"Start early, play early if you have something, and retreat if you have nothing." The shrill voice of the attendant spread throughout the hall, making the voice in the hall pause.
Everyone was watching, everyone knew what was going to be discussed this morning, and no one wanted to come out and be the first bird, only the old goblin Cheng squeezed his eyes at Li Chengqian.
"The minister has his own music." Half an hour later, in the quiet hall, a royal historian walked out of the crowd with a board in his hand.
"Come on." Lao Li's voice was a little colder than before.
"The minister impeached the prince for running rampant in the township, robbing men and women, and the royal majesty was not strict, and he disregarded people's lives...... and other eighteen counts. The Imperial Doctor glanced at Li Chengqian coldly, and almost counted down eighteen charges on his head.
If it is really according to what he said, Li Chengqian will never kill the thousand-year-old scourge that is not enough to anger the people.
"Prince, tell me about it." A glance swept over Li Chengqian, and Lao Li said unhurriedly.
"Father, what Yu Yushi said is pure nonsense." Li Chengqian also got up unhurriedly and replied with a flat expression.
After more than half a year of exercise, his nerves have been trained to a great extent, and he said that he came prepared this time, even if he was unprepared, these charges could not scare him.
"Since the prince said that the son is nothing, can he dare to confront the owner in court?" Yu, surnamed Yu, said without giving an inch.
"What does Yu Yushi mean by this, but someone wants to sue the emperor?" Li Chengqian turned his head and asked.
"This ......" Yu's surname Yushi's words were stagnant.
It's easy to talk about the royal form, but it's never easy to tell, you have to hit hundreds of boards before you go to the palace, and you really can't do this job without a good body.
"Why is Yu Yushi stumbling, but what is unspeakable?" Li Chengqian asked.
Yu's surname Yushi didn't expect Li Chengqian, who was only 9 years old, to be so difficult, and the 18 pieces of evidence did not frighten him, but did not shy away from pulling it on the imperial wrigg. If this really makes him satisfied, it's just that the Wang family has another human life to be handed over to him.
At that moment, he no longer mentioned the matter of the main and the witness, but said: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what crime did Wang Wenzhao commit and why did he die?" ”
"I don't know when Yu Yushi became Zongzheng Siqing again?" Li Chengqian asked disdainfully.
"I ......" Yushi surnamed Yu stagnated again, and a deep sense of powerlessness came to his heart, and he had a deep understanding of Li Chengqian's difficulty.
However, Li Chengqian didn't want to let him go, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he sneered and said: "Yu Yushi, this palace is not something you can judge, don't forget what the responsibility of the imperial history is, and next time, be careful of this palace impeaching you for the crime of 'great disrespect'." ”
"Minister, thank you, Your Highness." Yu, surnamed Yu, shrunk his neck and said against his will. Secretly, a villain named Li Chengqian had already been trampled on by him in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to be clever in his words, since the subject is outside the palace, why don't you dare to see it, but you really have done something wrong." Another imperial historian jumped out and shouted.
"As long as Zongzheng Temple does not find this palace guilty for a day, this palace is the prince of the country, you are an imperial history, when the palace insults the palace, the book is read into the dog's stomach?" Li Chengqian didn't give an inch, and sneered at each other.
"Bang" Li Er's special stone inkstone smashed on the table, and Lao Li looked angry: "Okay! Shut up, Yu Yushi, who are you talking about? ”
It was Lao Li who pretended to be confused and said it clearly, knowing who was outside, but he had to say it again.
"Your Majesty, it is Wang Shun, the next head of the Wang family." To Li Er, Yu Yushi immediately became much more submissive, he must be the emperor of the dynasty, he was not disrespectful, and there was nowhere to pick up his head.
"That is, the next head of the Wang family, this board will be written down, let him go to the palace." Li Er waved his hand generously, signaling that he would be exempted from the killing stick.
And there must be a solution to the matter, so that Wang Shun will not go to the palace as if the old Li is afraid of him, which Li Er can't bear.
"See Your Majesty, Xiaomin." Wang Shun came in from outside the hall under the leadership of the chamberlain, and bent down to salute Li Cheng.
It's just that those blood-red eyes stared at the youngest Li Chengqian above the hall without blinking, as if he was in a state of choosing someone to devour.
"Flat." Li Er said lightly, and glanced at Li Chengqian by the way. Wang Shun's state of choosing people and devouring them made Li Er a little worried about whether his eldest son could stand it, so it would be a shame to be cowardly in the main hall.
Li Chengqian didn't think that this Wang Shun's state was terrible, he had seen the bull head and horse face in the underworld, black and white impermanence, and a little Wang Shun really couldn't move him.
"Wang Shun, just now Yu Yushi impeached the prince for 18 pieces of criminal evidence for his life, and said that you are the master, what is going on, you can tell me." Li Chengqian's performance made Lao Li very satisfied, no matter what was right or wrong, at least it would be good to be able to face it.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed my child Wen Zhao for no reason, please ask Your Majesty to redress the grievances of the little people." Lao Li's voice fell, and Wang Shun directly knelt down on his knees and cried with tears in his eyes.
"Prince, what do you have to say?" Lao Li frowned and asked Li Chengqian.
"Father, that Wang Wenzhao was not killed by his son, and he is not an innocent person, all his words are just this person's words." Glancing at Wang Shun who was kneeling on the ground, Li Chengqian said lightly.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is noble, how dare the little people bite indiscriminately? Your Majesty is in charge of the small people. Wang Shun grabbed the ground with his head and kept crying about how miserable Wang Wenzhao's death was, which was simply a cry.
"Prince, how did Wang Wenzhao die?" Li Er slapped the table hard, glared at Li Chengqian and said, but it looked a little fake.
"Father, that Wang Wenzhao was rampant in the fish and meat township, insulted his sons and ministers many times, and was finally killed by Cui Ran, a loyal minister. It's just a pity that Cui Ran also sacrificed his life for the country because of his injuries! Li Chengqian said Cui Ran, his tone was heavy, and his words were quite regretful.
"Your Majesty, that Wang Wenzhao is really a humble gentleman, how can he insult the prince of the country, this is clearly the prince's one-sided words, Your Majesty should not be gullible." This time, without waiting for Li Er to speak, another imperial historian who had just supported Yu Yushi directly intervened.
